(NYSE, Nasdaq: VZ) today reported a third consecutive quarter of double-digit percentage growth in year-over-year earnings, as Verizon Wireless generated a second consecutive quarter of record-high margins and Verizon's Wireline segment posted accelerated growth in consumer revenues.Verizon reported 56 cents in EPS in third-quarter 2012, an increase of 14.3 percent compared with third-quarter 2011 earnings of 49 cents per share.Adjusted third-quarter 2012 earnings (non-GAAP) of 64 cents per share exclude 8 cents per share for charges related to patent litigation settlements.

"With our 4G LTE network advantage, well-received Share Everything Plans and unmatched product portfolio, Verizon Wireless continues to do an outstanding job of balancing growth and profitability. Wireless achieved record profitability in a quarter in which we reported the highest number of retail postpaid gross and net adds in four years."McAdam added: "Based on the strength of our FiOS fiber-optic network, we reported the highest growth in U.S. consumer wireline revenues in 10 years. Additionally, strategic services growth in our Enterprise business helped offset weaker revenues caused by global economic challenges. We are confident that we have the right plans in place to meet these challenges while improving the long-term profitability in both Consumer and Enterprise."Continued Strong Revenue Growth; Year-to-Date Free Cash Flow Up 49.9 Percent In third-quarter 2012, Verizon's total operating revenues were $29.0 billion on a consolidated basis, an increase of 3.9 percent compared with third-quarter 2011.Consolidated operating income was $5.5 billion in third-quarter 2012, compared with $4.6 billion in third-quarter 2011. Consolidated EBITDA (non-GAAP, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) totaled $9.65 billion in third-quarter 2012, compared with $8.8 billion in third-quarter 2011.Cash flow from operating activities totaled $24.8 billion in the first nine months of 2012, compared with $21.5 billion in the first nine months of 2011.With capital expenditures of $11.3 billion in the first nine months of 2012, free cash flow (non-GAAP, cash flow from operations less capex) was $13.4 billion through third-quarter 2012, compared with $9.0 billion through third-quarter 2011 ? an increase of 49.9 percent.For full-year 2012, capital expenditures are expected to be lower than 2011 capital expenditures of $16.2 billion.Verizon Wireless Results: Record Profitability, Strong Customer and Revenue Growth In third-quarter 2012, Verizon Wireless delivered the highest number of retail postpaid net additions in four years; strong growth in revenues; an increase in smartphone penetration; and the highest segment EBITDA margin on service revenues (non-GAAP) in the company's history, surpassing last quarter's previous high.Wireless Financial HighlightsService revenues in the quarter totaled $16.2 billion, up 7.5 percent year over year. Retail service revenues grew 7.9 percent year over year, to $15.5 billion. Total revenues were $19.0 billion, up 7.3 percent year over year. Retail postpaid ARPA (average revenue per account) grew 6.5 percent over third-quarter 2011, to $145.42 per month. Following the recent introduction of the Share Everything Plan and as customers continue to add multiple devices to accounts, Verizon Wireless now reports ARPA instead of ARPU since customers can share data among multiple devices. Wireless operating income margin was 31.8 percent and segment EBITDA margin on service revenues (non-GAAP) was 50.0 percent, setting record highs for the second consecutive quarter. Wireless Operational HighlightsVerizon Wireless added 1.8 million retail net connections in the third quarter, including 1.5 million retail postpaid net connections, the highest in four years. These additions exclude acquisitions and adjustments. At the end of the third quarter, the company had 95.9 million retail connections, a 5.7 percent increase year over year, including 90.4 million retail postpaid connections. Verizon Wireless had 34.8 million retail postpaid accounts at the end of the third quarter, a 1.0 percent increase over the third quarter 2011, and an average of 2.6 connections per account, up 4.0 percent year over year. At the end of the third quarter, smartphones constituted more than 53 percent of Verizon Wireless' retail postpaid customer phone base, up from 50 percent at the end of second-quarter 2012. Retail postpaid churn was 0.91 percent in the third quarter, an improvement of 3 basis points year over year. Total retail churn was 1.18 percent in the third quarter, an improvement of 8 basis points year over year. Verizon Wireless continued to roll out its 4G LTE mobile broadband network, the largest 4G LTE network in the U.S. As of today (Oct. 18), Verizon Wireless 4G LTE service is available to more than 250 million people in 419 markets across the U.S. The company introduced seven 4G LTE smartphones in third-quarter 2012: the DROID Incredible 4G LTE by HTC, Samsung Galaxy S III, Pantech Marauder, Intuition by LG, Samsung Galaxy Stellar, DROID RAZR M by Motorola, Apple iPhone 5; and one 4G LTE tablet, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2. The company also announced the availability of the DROID RAZR HD and the RAZR MAXX HD by Motorola, which are launching today. After receiving FCC approval in late August, Verizon Wireless purchased AWS spectrum from SpectrumCo and Cox Communications, and also completed its spectrum transactions with T-Mobile USA Inc., Leap Wireless and Savary Island Wireless. Wireline Results: Accelerated Consumer Revenue and ARPU Growth In third-quarter 2012 in the Wireline segment, FiOS revenue growth led to strong overall revenue growth among U.S. consumer customers. In global enterprise and wholesale, increased sales of strategic services helped mitigate lower revenues resulting from continued secular and global economic impacts.Wireline Financial HighlightsThird-quarter 2012 operating revenues were $9.9 billion, a decline of 2.3 percent compared with third-quarter 2011. Wireline operating income margin was 0.4 percent, compared with 0.5 percent in third-quarter 2011. Segment EBITDA margin (non-GAAP) was 21.7 percent in third-quarter 2012, compared with 21.4 percent in third-quarter 2011. Consumer revenues grew 4.6 percent compared with third-quarter 2011. This is the highest year-over-year quarterly revenue increase in a decade and compares with a 2.5 percent year-over-year increase in second-quarter 2012. Consumer ARPU for wireline services increased to $103.86 in third-quarter 2012, up 10.3 percent compared with third-quarter 2011. This is an acceleration from an 8.5 percent ARPU increase, comparing second-quarter 2012 with second-quarter 2011. ARPU for FiOS customers was more than $150 in third-quarter 2012. FiOS services produced 66 percent of consumer wireline revenues in third-quarter 2012. About two-thirds of FiOS consumer customers have purchased a "triple play" of phone, Internet and video services. Global enterprise revenues totaled $3.8 billion in the quarter, down 3.6 percent compared with third-quarter 2011. Sales of strategic services increased 4.4 percent compared with third-quarter 2011 and represented 53 percent of global enterprise revenues in third-quarter 2012. Strategic services include Verizon Terremark cloud and data center services, security and IT solutions, advanced communications, and strategic networking. Wireline Operational HighlightsVerizon added 136,000 net new FiOS Internet connections and 119,000 net new FiOS Video connections in third-quarter 2012. Verizon had a total of 5.3 million FiOS Internet and 4.6 million FiOS Video connections at the end of the quarter, representing year-over-year increases of 14.4 percent and 15.4 percent, respectively. FiOS penetration (subscribers as a percentage of potential subscribers) continued to increase. FiOS Internet penetration was 37.0 percent at the end of third-quarter 2012, compared with 34.6 percent at the end of third-quarter 2011. In the same periods, FiOS Video penetration was 32.9 percent, compared with 30.6 percent. The FiOS network now passes 17.4 million premises. Broadband connections totaled 8.8 million at the end of third-quarter 2012, a 2.3 percent year-over-year increase. During the third quarter, Verizon continued building its network of the future by deploying 100G (gigabits per second) technology throughout the U.S. Cloud applications, video distribution applications and wireless technologies, such as LTE, are driving the need for 100G deployment. On its long-haul network, Verizon has connected major metropolitan areas with this next-generation 100G technology. The company has also deployed 100G on several network routes in Europe. Verizon Enterprise Solutions Highlights Verizon Enterprise Solutions ? a global sales and marketing organization that harnesses all of Verizon's cloud, mobility and other platforms to serve the rapidly transforming enterprise market with integrated solutions ? continued to expand and enhance its capabilities in the U.S. and abroad in third-quarter 2012.

The closing of the transaction, which is subject to certain conditions, is expected to occur in December 2012.In connection with the closing, Verizon currently intends to contribute an aggregate of approximately $2.5 billion to the plan, including a $930 million contribution made last month, to provide for the annuity and so that the plan's funding percentage does not decrease as a result of this transaction.As a result, Verizon's revised outlook for pension funding in 2012 is estimated to be $3.4 billion, compared with the $1.3 billion estimated at the beginning of the year. Assuming the closing of the transaction and the additional contribution, Verizon does not expect to have any cash-funding requirement for pensions in 2013.NOTE: See the accompanying schedules and www.verizon.com/investor for reconciliations to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for non-GAAP financial measures cited in this document.Verizon Communications Inc.

Running back Steven Jackson could be playing his last game in a St. Louis Rams uniform Sunday as the Rams play the Seattle Seahawks for their final regular season game. The nine-year veteran will have the chance to explore free agency at the end of the season, but has also hinted he might just retire. From the Associated Press: Jackson intimated Thursday that he might retire at the end of this season. Though he laughed as he said it, the 29-year-old running back didn't retreat from the idea when asked how serious he was about the possibility. He has expressed interest in ending his career with the only team he's played for as a professional, but he hasn't publicly committed to returning. Coach Jeff Fisher said the team wants him back, but Jackson's demands could price him out of a Rams uniform. Jackson has said he wanted to finish his NFL career with the Rams. The Rams have said they would be open to entertaining the idea of re-signing the 29-year-old, but they also have Isaiah Pead and Daryl Richardson on the team. Jackson is 10 yards from recording his eighth consecutive 1,000-yard season.

Reprints Reprints Ad Age DataCenter $43.6B U.S. agency revenue Subscribe to Datacenter today and access the complete Agency Report 2015 featuring a database of World's 50 Largest Agency Companies with profiles, agency holdings, and more. Learn more Despite the overall growth in mobile marketing, business publishers are still taking a cautious approach in developing mobile strategies, according to a study conducted by American Business Media and media and market research company Outsell Inc. Highlights of the study, "Anytime, Anywhere: Mobile Benchmarks and Directions for B-to-B," were presented last month at the ABM Executive Forum in Chicago. The study was based on an online survey conducted last summer with 104 C-level and operational executives at ABM member companies. The study found only 20% of C-level executives have deployed a formal mobile strategy; 56% toggle between a formal strategy and ad hoc efforts; and 24% do their mobile business on a project or case-by-case basis. Only 8% of C-level respondents reported that they plan to hire new employees for mobile development, while 28% plan to outsource. Mobile does not "come cheap," said Chuck Richard, VP-lead analyst at Outsell, referring to mobile opportunities for b-to-b publishers. "If you go chasing after everything in mobile, and the revenue is slow, you can get exposed." C-level executives reported that 5% of their digital revenue is generated through mobile. However, 19% of their total audiences access content via mobile devices. "The big money is not there," Richard said. " "Mobility' is different from the mobile business. Are people going to pay a lot for mobile content? You have to give them something that they can't get through another marketing channel." The top mobile priorities among b-to-b media companies are to enhance the brand as a forward thinker (64%) and deliver b-to-b information to mobile users (60%), the study found. New revenue from mobile users (29%) and enhancing mobile e-commerce (24%) were comparatively low priorities. The study found 33% of ABM companies offer a mobile- optimized site, and 28% use a mobile site or subdomain. Just 7% offer e-newsletters specifically optimized for mobile devices.

'Cabin' treads new real estate
Five college kids enter a scary cabin in the woods.
How many come out?
If you leave the "Evil Dead" or "Friday the 13th" equation to producer/writer Joss Whedon, don't be surprised by the ending of his new horror/sci-fi flick, "The Cabin in the Woods."
As much as audiences have seen the five-college kid scenario, the scientists-and-Feds-in-a-bunker plot in "The Cabin in the Woods" changes everything.
Two intelligence-based scientists, Sitterson (Richard Jenkins) and Hadley (Bradley Whitford), nonchalantly prepare for a weekend of spying on five kids going to a deserted cabin for a weekend.
They have the scientific power at their disposal to make said kids do whatever they want them to do.
"The Cabin in the Woods" also features a scary gas station attendant, zombies and a lot of other recognizable creatures and monsters.
Not to give away the plot, but there are definitely some "Scream" movie moments and shades of the Initiative from Whedon's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" TV show.
The movie opens with five kids preparing to go off the grid. There's the sexy blonde, Jules (Anna Hutchison), and her jock-ish boyfriend, Curt (Chris Hemsworth). Jules' friend, Dana (Kristen Connolly), is fresh from a breakup, and Curt's bookish and more serious friend, Holden (Jesse Williams), also is along for the ride.
Part of the crew, as well, is a clownish stoner named Marty (Fran Kranz of the "Dollhouse"), who is paranoid, funny and a more perceptive than audience members might initially think.
After the scientists lead the kids into the basement, filled with all sorts of ways for them to accidentally summon monsters, Dana inadvertently reads a Latin phrase that reanimates a family of nearby zombies.
It should be noted that the government-watchers have humorously placed bets on which creatures will be summoned.
Where this is all going would be giving the film away, so I'll stop there.
"The Cabin in the Woods" is frequently hilarious, though it does intentionally mean to scare its audience and accomplishes that from time to time. The zombies are only occasionally horrifying, though the sci-fi elements of the film are more thrilling. Whedon's "The Dollhouse" always managed to raise pulse rates more effectively than "Buffy."
My favorite part of the film is how it manages to lampoon older horror films. Then the movie changes directions well about two-thirds of the way through.
The characters are intentionally cliché, as are the monsters. The settings are effective, and I liked how the two worlds of the seen and the seers are separated and eventually brought together.
There's also an interesting cameo or two along the way.
"Scream," "Buffy," "Dollhouse" and "Evil Dead" fans will likely enjoy this movie.

Oh and maybe play with close friends who don't game on PCs.
If you think you can just pop in a disk and play with today consoles for optimal play, you're wrong. Consoles are more like PC's now days. Install to HDD or play from disk, longer load times, patches and all that with lower fidelity. Tinkering is the nature of the PC, so unless all PC are the same spec, it's going to stay that way.
Spendng a few minutes setting up a game for optimal play for the gain of better fidelity is worth it. Enjoy your longer loading times, swapping disks, while it loads in a quarter of the time on my PC and I'm up and running.

View all MLS scores for 4/5/2009
Columbus-Chivas USA Game Review
Carson, CA (Sports Network) - Chivas USA earned its third win of the season on Sunday night at the Home Depot Center vs. the Columbus Crew, 2-1.
With the win, the Goats (3-0-0) were able to keep pace with the expansion Seattle Sounders FC in the Western table.
Chivas USA got the game's first goal just 25 minutes in when Gerson Mayen drove past Crew winger Eddie Gaven on the left side and into the penalty area before playing a low cross to Atiba Harris in the box. The St. Kitts and Nevis international then one-timed the ball into the net with his toe for his first goal of the season.
About 12 minutes later the Crew were able to equalize on an Andy Iro tally. The play was started by a Guillermo Barros Schelotto corner kick. After the ball was cleared away by the Chivas defense, Emmanuel Ekpo played it back into the penalty area, where it deflected off Alejandro Moreno before Iro knocked the loose ball home for his second-career MLS goal.
That was how the score stayed until about five minutes after the break when a Sacha Kljestan free kick was headed off the post by Harris. Eduardo Lillingston then knocked in the rebound for his second goal of the season to close out the scoring.
Iro was given a red card for a hard tackle on Carey Tally four minutes later, forcing the Crew to play a man down the rest of the game and effectively ending any comeback hopes.
Chivas USA will play Los Angeles rivals, the L.A. Galaxy, next Saturday in the SuperClasico, while Columbus (0-2-2) hosts Colorado the same day in its next league fixture.

Sugar Bells
|Superfine sugar
|2 1⁄2 Pound
|Egg white
|1 Tablespoon
Place sugar and egg white in a bowl and rub between your palms until evenly moist and mixed.
Dust each mold inside with cornstarch, tapping out excess.
Pack sugar firmly into molds, level off bottoms, and invert on wax paper; carefully lift off molds.
Repeat until all sugar is molded.
Let bells dry 1-2 hours until hard about 1/4" in from the outside.
With a small spoon or spoon handle, scoop out soft insides, leaving shells 1/8 "-1/4" thick.
Cover scooped-out sugar with damp cloth and use for molding more bells.
Let bells dry overnight at room temperature.
Pipe icing around edges, if you like, to give a more finished look.
Use to decorate any wedding or anniversary cake.
Calorie counts will vary considerably according to how much each sugar bell is hollowed out and how lavishly it is decorated with royal icing.

Renoir's first sculptural work, this medallion and the bust of his youngest son, Claude "Coco" Renoir are the only two sculptures Renoir executed entirely with his own hands.

Condition Report*:Small repaired chip near Coco's chin on medallion.
Renoir, Pierre-Auguste:Pierre-Auguste Renoir was a French impressionist painter who was born on February 25, 1841, and passed away on December 3, 1919, at the age of 78. As a youth, he worked in a porcelain factory painting designs on fine china. He frequently visited the Louvre to study the French masters. He enrolled in art school in 1864 where he met Claude Monet. The two would later explore the use of reflected colors to simulate shadows. Renoir painted thousands of artworks, many of which are among the most recognized and reproduced paintings in art's history. He regularly changed his art's direction. During the latter part of his career, he split away from pure impressionism and incorporated more realism into his works. For the last 10 years of his life, he concentrated on nudes and domestic scenes. The Barnes Foundation of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, has 181 of Renoir's paintings, which is the largest collection of his works in the world. Some of his most notable paintings are "Dance at Le Moulin de la Galette," "Luncheon of the Boating Party," "Two Sisters," "The Theatre Box"and "Girls at the Piano." During the last year of his life, he visited the Louvre to see his paintings displayed next to the French masters he had idolized in his youth. He died in the town of Cagnes-sur-Mer.

T-Mobile USA has decided to shut down its nearly two-year-old developer program that allowed applications to be automatically submitted to its network, according to an email sent to developers today.
The decision is startling because of the boom in applications and general interest in the wireless space. But realistically, it could be a sign that the space is over-saturated with application options. Developers don't have the capacity to partner with every handset-maker, carrier and OS company. T-Mobile may be an early casualty in a shake-out that is bound to happen. In the email, T-Mobile lamented: "With the mobile space being an ever changing, dynamic industry our decision to close this program was not taken lightly, but we feel reflects our commitment to support the growing ecosystem of partner storefronts and non-traditional paths to market." A spokesman did not respond immediately with comment.
Instead of competing directly for developers' attention, T-Mobile USA said it is directing them to their partners app stores, such as Google's Android Market, BlackBerry

I am a emergency dispatcher and believe a job would not be hard to attain. The house we currently live in is a old family home of my husband. It is in desperate need of a remodel, we would fix that house up and give it back to the family for a weekend house, since it is a block from a river. Giving all that taxes seem like a small detail.

property tax rate
- there property tax rate is 1.58 percent which if this is a 1.5 million dollar home the taxes would be 23,700. I think it could be doable to get a good investment out of the property but then i would sell it, to much house for just 3 people and even if I ad 1 more to that equation still to much house!!!

A lot of great ideas
- I like the idea of making it a rental property, there are some people out there that have the cash to throw down for 7000 a week rental home and since it can sleep like 12 people I'm sure since it has a great location you could rent it easily, turn enough profit to pay the taxes and insurance and still pocket a little income for yourself. Realize the home isnt exactly 2 million, the total of the prices comes out to 2 million which a quarter of a million is cash, then that vehicle is 43,200 and estimate the furnishing the home has to be about 1.5 millon so the taxes on the property should be approximately no more than 60,000 a year since most property tax in the us ranges from .2% to 4%, you could turn it into a profitable venture and even use it as a vacation home and when your capable wait for the market to be right to sell it for a desired price or adventually do a reverse mortgage.

Just did a little research...
- Looks like HDTV didn't build that lodge room for nothing. Per frontdoor.com the HDTV dream home is in THE most desirable location in a town where location is everything. I researched rentals in Spruce peak and found a villa (not even a house) that sleeps 10 that rents for $4200 - $4500 a week. Frontdoor.com also says Stowe is a popular four season vacation destination, so here is what. So here is what I was thinking... ADVERTISE Your not just renting out some rental you are renting THE HDTV DREAM HOME! So let's say you can rent in for a max of $7,000 a week and not even the entire year maybe 30 weeks of the year, that is $7000 x 30 = $ 210,000 Add the $210,000 to the $500,000 from HDTV and you have $710,000. I would borrow against my mortgage free dream home to pay the remaining $100,000 or so in taxes and any additional to run it for the first year. With a $7,000 a week rental you should have that loan paid off in no time... And that my friends is how you keep you dream home;)

- While our main home would remain in Atlanta, what a wonderful place to spend the summer as well as have our families visit and learn about the area first hand. Then I would lease it in the winter. What a wonderful opportunity. Twenty five years ago spent a couple of days of my honeymoon there.
- —Guest Gay Maloney
- Hey...they created a way to make income on the property...skiers in the winter...bed and breakfast in the summer...or simply rent it out...the bottom line is...this is a wonderful (NOT to metion beautiful) way to live and have an income...I could teach AND run the house...what a life....what life.

Agree With A Few: Doable
- The prize package includes $500k. I would at least save half for taxes and other payments. I would start a small business where I live now because it would bring a good chunk of revenue here. While I'm here I will just have the home as a vacation rental. I probably won't sell it until the market picks up so I'll just put aside some dates I would like to visit and the rest be filled with guests. People will pay a pretty penny for a week in the home in Stowe, VT. Before you fall head over heels with your winnings, take the time to run over different strategies. What to sell, when to sell, and then jump for joy. Always read the fine print and to whoever wins, I hope you enjoy it and have a gameplan going it!

Take the cash option!
- The tax issue raises an incredible concern; therefore, it seems very wise to take the cash option ($500k, $680k & car). Despite the home in Stowe, VT truly being a dream home, my own personal dream home would be surrounded by beautiful swampland with dead trees, no joke! So I would challenge HGTV to help me design and decorate a house fit for such a tranquil setting literally oozing of raw, natural mystique. Taxes would be significantly reduced and my family and I would absolutely be true winners of a customized HGTV dream home! Most importantly, the car is what I'm most interested in winning. My husband, who refuses to get rid of his 16-year old, wrecked Geo metro valued at $5 could certainly use an upgrade!!!!

I would first say Thank You to the Lord
- I would first say Thank You to the Good Lord above, then aquire an attorney, sell the home, pay the taxes and my tithes to the Lord and then take the rest and live la vida loca with my wonderful husband! I may get another Bichon Frise...our beautiful boy passed away 2 months ago and I miss him terribly! :)
- —Guest Mary
- Fortunately they're giving you a great way to make money. Anyone see the ski dorm in the lower level? Just sayin.
- —Guest Wicks

- What a "Dream" it would seem to pay off our debt and mortgage and live in this beautiful home with my wife and children...rather payoff existing home, debt...get a much needed new roof!...and donate this Dream Home to a charity for a retreat for those less fortunate than I am. Better to give than to recieve.

Sell off Shares of the Home
- I noticed that many of the vacation homes in Stowe area were partial ownership homes. I wonder if it would be possible to divide the home into 4 shares and sell off 3 off them? Each share would give you 13 weeks in the home. This would allow the winner the option to use the home for 13 weeks each yea (better than nothing). I would imagine that this would give the winner the opportunity to use the money raised from the sale of the three shares to pay the taxes on the property. This might be a way around having to sell the home.

**Tread Carefully**
- I inherited real estate that was paid off....BUT I had to pay HUGE amount of money to the government for taxes, plus there are numerous bills to keep it up. I can't sell because the market is bad and I would have to get enough to pay of the loans that I got to pay the taxes. So now I know the meaning of Asset Rich and Liquid Asset Poor. So if you can't sell the dream home to pay the government it's share then I sure home you can find a renter to cover the many expenses like utilities, yearly debris removal for fire hazard, property taxes, etc. etc.

What an amazing experience
- I have more chance of getting struck by lightening than winning this home however, it is fun to dream about. If I did win, I would hire an attorney & accountant 1st off, then sell the home like the other winners have done. There would be some winnings and that would be enough for me - I am very poor due to sickness. Your life would change immediately (stress out the gazoo) and put you in a whirlwind but would also be a lot of fun. For that fact alone, I would like to win. Think of all the people you would meet, the opportunity to vacation in the home (at least for a little while) and the other smaller prizes you would win. Odds are I won't win but it is fun to dream and have hope..........

Variable graphics modes broken?
On NVidia Linux driver releases prior to 1.0-4349, I was able to specify any graphics resolution--I've been running 1400x1050 as it is still a 4:3 aspect ratio, and I find 1600x1200 too high for my 21" monitor and 1280x1024 too low.
But with 1.0-4349, I can no longer specify that mode; the driver won't take it 1280x1024 and 1600x1200 work just fine.
Any suggestions?
If a resolution won't work you most likely have incorrect scan line refreshes defined for your monitor.

The greatest travel offers the world of golf has to offer
By Doug Halberstadt
Sports Columnist
It's during these cold and snowy days of winter that many golfers yearn for the warmth and green grass that comes with the turn of a few more pages on the calendar in this region. I was reminded of that this past week when I opened up my e-mail and was the fortunate recipient of the greatest travel offers the world of golf has to offer.
I was made aware that because of my "exceptional talent" on the golf course, I qualified to partake of some of the most wonderful golf vacations that only a select few ever get the opportunity to experience.
The first trip was presented as follows: Take a trip to the World Golf Village in St. Augustine, Fla., and re-live the epic moments that made you fall in love with golf. Not only can you play at two of the best courses in the area, but you can also experience the thrill and challenge that only golf legends like Gene Sarazen, Sam Snead, Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus can offer. The Slammer & The Squire and The King & The Bear courses are located right at the World Golf Village. After playing an unforgettable round at each course, take a walk through the World Golf Hall of Fame where unforgettable moments in the sport can be revisited. The Golf Club of South Hampton is just as memorable as the World Golf Village courses, featuring views of 16 lakes and boasting more than 60 bunkers to keep you on your toes. The Comfort Suites at World Golf Village is in perfect location to each of these courses and will serve as your haven for rest and relaxation after each exciting round of golf. Sounds very nice, doesn't it? The cost for that little trip ranged from $466-$792 per person. Air fare was not included in any of the featured trips.
There were at least three other once-in-a-lifetime trips outlined. They included the "Birdies in Birmingham," the "Phoenix Fantastic Four" and the "Paradise in Palm Springs" tours. They ranged in price from $417 all the way up to more than $1,700, depending on the length of stay.
I really do appreciate being invited to participate in these great offers based on my "exceptional talent." It's obvious that whoever sent me this e-mail has never seen me play golf. I have no "exceptional talent" whatsoever when it comes to golf. But it is nice of them to assume that.
It's also obvious they haven't seen my checking account balance. As much as I'd like to take one of these trips, it won't be happening this winter. I'll patiently wait until late March or early April, when I can return to the courses around here for "Bogies and Double Bogies in Winnebago."
