Blood Feast (1963)
Nastiness Rating:
Directed by: Herschell Gordon Lewis
Written by: Allison Louise Downe (as A. Louise Downe)/David F. Friedman (uncredited)/Herschell Gordon Lewis (uncredited)
This is where it all started, folks. "Nothing so appalling in the annals of horror" the trailer screamed, and it was right. By today's standards, it's pretty tame (and severely stupid), but in 1962 it was something that no one had ever seen before. They never thought they would see it. They never wanted to see it again.
Or did they?
Blood Feast is the brainchild of Herschel Gordon Lewis. He was just looking for a way to get butts in seats, so he took Psycho about 20 steps further. In fact, he went over the edge from where Psycho went. He showed the blood and the cutting and the body parts, and it was all in vivid color.
Unfortunately for Lewis, he didn't have the directorial talent, acting talent or writing talent of Hitch. Instead, he had to work with his buddies who had basically no experience (or talent) whatsoever. But he had the gore, so he made fucking millions from his tiny investment. After the assassination of President Kennedy, people were clamoring for some fake gore. They had seen the real thing. What could the fake thing really harm at this point? And, oh my, isn't it fun?!
A killer named Fuad Ramses (Mal Arnold) is on the lose. He's dismembering the bodies of beautiful young women, sometimes in their own homes. Sometimes in their own bath! Why would he do this? Well, maybe it has something to do with the book that his first victim (in the movie, anyway) is reading: Ancient Weird Religious Rites. Or could it be because of Ramses' Egyptian Feast! (Cue spooky organ music!)
The cops are useless. All they can say about the murders is that a "pathological killer" committed them. No shit! When they're not sitting in their office, they're allowing a girl's boyfriend to hang out around her mutilated body. Not only that, but they seem to find out about all of the murders from the media. (And is one of the cops in college?)
And there's the plot. Two short paragraphs. Not a whole lot there. There's something about a mother who is having Ramses conduct the Egyptian Feast for her daughter, not realizing what will be served, but really it's all about the gore.
And what glorious gore! Sure, it looks a little cheesy today, but I can imagine it being pretty damn shocking in 1963. Hell, there's a lot of blood (er, red paint) for a movie made today. The hearts and livers and such are pretty obviously taken from a butcher's shop, though.
But don't look to this movie for anything else. The acting is incredibly wooden, seeming as if the "actors" are reading from cue cards the entire time. The sets look like they were set up in someone's living room. The lighting looks like they had one light and just set it so it would wash out all of the flaws on the women's faces. And, of course, the story is super lame.
One more quick observation: apparently, in 1963, you couldn't have nipples and gore in the same movie. All of the women show some skin, but they have some pretty strategically placed clothing/bubbles/etc. Lewis made some nudie cuties at this time, so he wasn't afraid of nipples. I guess he just didn't want to mix them.
Just to show how truly weird the early 60s were, the producers of the DVD have included a short called "Carving Magic." It's all about carving meat and stars Thomas Wood who played the college student/police officer as a guy who learned to carve while working on a short about carving meat. I never realized it, but the color in the 50s and early 60s really makes meat look disgusting. I'm a pretty avid meat eater and this short almost turned me off of it. But it sure did make carving look like something really, really interesting. Something that people talk about at dinner parties ad naseum.
LOW POINT: "PROVE you love me!" Then he proceeds to rape the camera with a slightly blurry close-up. I know we boys are pretty stupid, but that's just outright lame.
Or maybe when the "smart girl" is dumb enough to believe Ramses when he's tricking her into saying all of the words of the rites just before he raises his machete to kill her. (Wait…they had machetes in ancient Egypt?)

Log law for unsteady velocity profile
I want to simulate the unsteady wind flow over a house. For steady simulation I use Log law velocity profile but I couldn`t find a formula for the Unsteady simulation where the wind speed is changes with time. so I wonder what is the formula for such problem ?
no analytical law exists for unsteady turbulent velocity, the log-law has statistical meaning for a flow in energy equilibrium (production=dissipation) such that the time derivative statistically vanishes.
If you have a flow that increases in time I suggest using LES with a grid resolving the boundary layer, however this is computational expensive.

Thank Goodness We Can Ignore the Wars, by Sheldon Richman
You hear this a lot. Commentators seem to long for World War II, when "the whole country was at war." They criticize President Bush for letting most Americans shirk their responsibility. When he's queried about what sacrifices he's asked of the American people, Bush says they have forgone peace of mind and paid higher gasoline prices. Naturally, this does not satisfy his critics.
Let me suggest that Friedman and Maher couldn't be more wrong. (Neither could Bush, of course.) It is a good thing that the current wars are not total wars and that most Americans are disengaged from the horrors inflicted by the U.S. government on Iraq and Afghanistan. Why? Because total war has terrible effects even on the belligerent whose society is not directly involved. If most of us have been able to avoid being sucked into that vortex, then I say, "Thank goodness."
Total war brutalizes a society. It brings out bloodlust and hate. It stimulates an ugly nationalism (gussied up as patriotism) which boasts that "we" are better than "them." It distorts vision, causing people to see something honorable in being slaughtered and maimed — as long as the dead and disabled are "our guys." It distorts judgment too, making people think that killing strangers who have never threatened us is heroic.
War makes people say stupid things. For example, they tell members of the armed forces, "Thank you for your service to our country," when they aren't serving their country at all — they're serving the hack politicians and bureaucrats who send them to war. The same soldiers are told they are fighting for "our freedom," when in fact the commander in chief they are obeying is destroying our freedom as he issues orders that inevitably kill innocents in foreign countries. Making enemies disserves one's country.
War makes people afraid to think the truth. Heaven help the person who believes the lives lost were lost in vain. Look at what happened when Sens. John McCain and Barak Obama used the word "wasted" in connection with the casualties in Iraq. They were slammed and had to retreat.
But of course the lives lost and ruined by Bush's wars were lost and ruined in vain. For those who fight, a nondefensive war is the epitome of waste. Without the Bush lies about weapons of mass destruction and revenge for 9/11, who would have volunteered to go to Iraq or Afghanistan? Who would have chosen to finance those wars?
War also makes people collectivists. In a free society people go about their own peaceful business, freely joining with others for common causes and mutual benefit. In total war the people become a herd lorded over by the state. It takes most of their incomes, rations their food, and perhaps conscripts them. They are told this sacrifice is necessary because they are all part of a great cause. Those gulled by the politicians feel good about their regimentation and deprivation. But the war and its sacrifices are only for the glory of rulers. The people gain nothing and lose much.

CIP-014 Energy Infrastructure Protection and Substation Perimeter Security
In March 2014 the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) directed the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), to develop and implement reliability standards for the nation's bulk energy providers. The reliability standards were developed to address the protection of critical infrastructure from the risk of physical and cyber attacks.
The outcome of the FERC mandate was the development and adoption in mid-2014 of the NERC Critical Infrastructure Protection standard for cyber security known as CIP-014, Version 5. This standard provides for risk and vulnerability assessment of power grid infrastructure. The CIP-014 standard includes as a key element of independent, non-affiliated, third party review of the security plans of transmission stations and substations for CIP-014 conformity, and timelines for compliance.
A survey done within the electric industry by Black & Veatch reported that nearly 52% of the respondents indicated they either did not know, or did not believe, that their infrastructure protection was well integrated or well managed.
CIP-014 represents a very serious, easily understandable, and accountable attempt to address the well-known vulnerabilities of the nation's electric grid infrastructure, and requires that owners take immediate action.
SecureUSA®'s extensive product line meets the CIP-014 standards for perimeter defense. SecureUSA® leads the nation in providing product, sales, and service for pollution- free, all-electric retractable crash bollards and active vehicle barriers, as well as fixed bollards, barriers, access control gates, and intrusion detection systems.

Review: Flying Dog Under Dog Atlantic Lager0at 03:42 PM
There is something to be said for an easy drinking, sessionable lager. Easy drinking beers don't have to be the macro-brewed yellow water that fills the kegs and fridges at frat parties. They can be flavorful with the lightness and low alcohol that makes session beers possible. In this vein there is the Under Dog Atlantic Lager from Flying Dog. This American Pale Lager clocks in at 4.7% ABV and should hopefully fit the bill of an easy drinking lager.

We knew we would have problems with dogs one way or another. Not our dogs specifically but dogs in general, and for different reasons.
The first problems we encountered were street dogs in Romania. We had managed to avoid them through Hungary though there were plenty hanging about laybys and service stops. Our girls were so good with coping with being so restricted, long stretches in the car and short toilet/sniff stops. But the 'Dog Friendly' hotel in a busy part of Romania was a nightmare. There were several territorial dogs hanging about by the door and there was no garden or other area to walk the dogs. These dogs would appear from nowhere, and as we were on a busy road it was a case of 'quick, have a wee' and back in. The girls coped better than the humans! The street dogs were also very vocal through the night every time someone passed, awkward when you are surrounded by bars and restaurants.
But they managed, bless them, and the hotel staff were very accommodating in setting aside part of the foyer for us to eat where the dogs could stretch out and watch what was going on. We were glad to move on from there on the last stretch of the journey, though stopping places were few and far between, if you slowed down by a likely (dog) wee stop dogs would appear like magic! Some were very mean looking and absolutely filthy. We managed to get the girls out by stopping on a very long and deserted road where we could see all about us.
Waiting for the ferry there were dogs everywhere, puppies too. We had ages to wait and there was not a murmer from our two. But there were many lorries moving about as it was a lorry crossing, and all these dogs happily staying out of the sun....under the lorries! They were the healthiest looking dogs we saw in Romania, and seemed to know the difference between an idling engine (air conditioning) and one about to move.
Once arriving at our destination we were happy to see very few dogs roaming the village. We had a good drive around as we couldn't remember where the house was! It's a fair sized place. When we stopped eventually at the right gate Venka was there with some other ladies waiting to greet us with hugs and welcomes. With that done we opened the gate and let our very relieved girls out of the car, to ooohs and aahhhs from our new neighbours. Luckily the girls were so busy sniffing around they didn't have time for people. The first job was to get the chicken fence up, which we had brought with us, so that we could contain the dogs in the jungle which was supposed to be a garden. My, it had grown. It proved to be doggy heaven for the two dogs after nearly two weeks of travel and staying with relatives before the four day drive. Lots of playing and hunting and running and proper leg stretching.
It turned out that the neighbours are scared of dogs even though they have their own yard dogs (or maybe because!) and Bella in particular. Bella is a nervous little thing with strangers and picks up on the neighbours' worry, resulting in skulking and wuffing, making things worse. Bonnie just takes them a ball so is not considered such a threat...as long as she is the other side of the fence. Six months later and nothing has changed, though the fence has been moved a good few times to give the neighbours access to the garden and keep the dogs happy with space in the rest. The fence does not stop the girls if they really want out, but they are very good and Bella has only breached it a couple of times while we have not been watching, the rest of the time it has been because we were in the other side.
So, that is our girls. Other instances have caused us heartache, apart from so many dead dogs on the roads (and jackals).There was one dog hanging around the river where Dave likes to call in for a swim. Dave saw this dog getting thinner and had a very hard job not to pick it up and put it in the car. He really struggled with himself as the dog was always warily pleased to see him, but it really would have not been a good idea to bring him here. They are totally unsocialised as far as people and pet dogs go, riddled with critters and could be carrying diseases which our two would not have any immunity to. The dog has now disappeared. We are still struggling with the fact that we didn't bring him home, but he may not have settled and in an emergency, if we had to go home for any reason, we would have had a problem finding him a home at short notice............
There are a few dogs roaming the village, and sometimes they get into a pack which is intimidating. They generally shy away from people but are territorial, and if they get into a pack they get brave. Dave always carries a stick when he takes the girls for a quick walk. Although they have lots to do here they still insist on a walk. We have had one dog come in and get tangled in the electric fence around the chickens...it was off at the time. Her name was Mimi and she had been let loose in the garden behind us as they were having problems with wildlife (martens) taking chickens. Unfortunately, though we had fenced our dogs in, we hadn't got round to fencing other, more determined dogs out! Mimi had found a gap, pushed through, got her collar caught in the netting then sat down to tell the world about it. Poor Dave had to go out at 1am to cut loose a dog he had never seen before and didn't know the temperament of, and who then decided she didn't want to go home. The gaps were filled next day, and Dave didn't get bitten.
There is also a yellow lab type who is rather fond of our garden. He used to come in through another corner. That has now been fenced but he can still be seen pacing the fence in next door's garden. All this nocturnal activity tends to make me wary of taking the dogs out into the garden for a wee if they want to go, so Dave has the honour and goes out with a super strong torch.
A few days ago Dave came in to tell me Bella had found some puppies. He had been walking the dogs past the village square when Bella pulled towards the fountain. Someone had put four puppies in there! They couldn't get out as it was too high, and luckily there is no water in there as it is only in use on special occasions. I suppose I can see why they were put there, someone (ex-pat) is bound to take them and one has gone, but it is a dreadful thing to do. It seems that spaying/castrating is considered cruel, getting rid of unwanted puppies by all sorts of awful means is not! No doubt if no-one wants the pups they will grow up on the street and join a pack where they will learn to scavenge, before being eradicated when the stray dog problem gets too bad. If only people would take up the offers of free sterilisation which comes around occasionally.
Two nights ago Dave came up to bed saying there was a black and white dog sitting by the fence, on Venka's side. He has not seen their dog but I have seen it a few times when it escapes it's chain and wanders in for a sniff around. When he let the girls out in the night it was still lying by the fence. By morning it was obvious it was stuck in the wire as it had pulled it down. I couldn't be positive it was the neighbours' dog, but I had also been told it would bite if it was so we waited till they came out before letting them know it was stuck, rather than Dave risk being bitten. It's quite a big dog. Initially Jordan said it wasn't his....till he realised it was not tied up on the yard. Dave gave him scissors to cut the dog free, but the neighbours were mortified that he had ruined the fence and offered to pay. We were not bothered about the fence, but were more worried about the telling off the dog got. But the neighbours have been brilliant since we have been here and we didn't want them to think we were upset about the fence so sent them some carrot cake. No doubt there will be tasty morsels winging their way over here now.
So that's the dog situation. It may seem that we are a bit protective of our dogs, but being brought up with lots of friends in North Wales parks they really don't know how to cope with these dogs. Bonnie is in a world of her own (and ball) and thinks everyone and everything is a friend, and Bella is always desperate for a new friend to play with and will want to go over and introduce herself, neither would know how to react to dogs who live the way they do here.
Venka and Jordan's dog, stuck!

Cheyenne to Put Wind Data Towers on Belvoir Ranch
The City of Cheyenne is looking at the possibility of developing a commercial wind farm on the Belvoir Ranch.
The City of Cheyenne is looking at the possibility of developing a commercial wind farm on the Belvoir Ranch.
To meet Cheyenne's long-term solid waste needs, city officials are recommending expanding the Happy Jack Landfill.
Public Works Director Vicki Nemecek says they've looked at different alternatives, such as constructing a new landfill at the Belvoir Ranch, but the cost to build a new facility was $24.8 mi...
Laramie County Commissioner Ron Kailey Jr. says he thinks the city-owned Belvoir Ranch might be a good location for a park.
The Cheyenne City Council Finance Committee on Monday approved the lease of part of the Belvoir Ranch for a hybrid wind/natural gas electric generation facility that the developer says would be the first of it's kind anywhere in the world.
Cheyenne Mayor Rick Kaysen says a proposed lease of 12,000 acres of the city-owned Belvoir Ranch by the Morley Companies of Jackson could generate millions of dollars for the city.
Cheyenne Mayor Rick Kaysen says the city continues to speak with a developer who may want to lease at least part of the Belvoir Ranch for a wind energy development. The mayor says the conversations have been going on for a while, but he declined to name the developer or specifics of a possible agreement other than to say the developer is interested in leasing the western portion of the ranch for a possible wind energy project.
A Colorado company planning to open a uranium mine in southwestern Wyoming hopes to start construction in the summer and then begin mining in 2013.Doug Randall reports. A Jackson Hole company wants to lease land from Cheyenne to build a 300-megawatt, $750 million wind farm. The Morley Company is proposing building 120 towers on city-owned land six miles west of Cheyenne. Click past the jump to listen to Wyoming Radio News.

For a very modern feel, use matching indoor and outdoor tiles. This contemporary style has become very popular in recent years, with more and more tile manufacturers making matching smooth or matte finish tiles and rougher textured anti-slip external tiles. This works especially well with French doors and/or alfresco areas. It really does bring the outdoors in.
It's effective, so simple to achieve and adds a real third dimension to your entertaining experience.
There is quite an extensive range of tiles now available through Hayters that have either a satin, matte, polished or semi polished/lappato internal finish with a matching anti-slip external finish. Some of these also come in very natural stone finishes like sandstone, granite, travertine and even timber look.
Regarding external tiles, there are two types of finishes with external tiles, glazed tile and full bodied porcelain. The former usually starts with a smooth flat tile that then has a rough, almost sandpaper-like texture added to the top layer, making them VERY good with anti-slip properties. The full-bodied porcelain tiles are usually pressed and have an undulated texture more like a slate or sandstone pattern on top. We sell both types, however there is certainly a wider range of options in the glazed tile type that have both external and matching internal finishes available.
With advances in modern digital printing technology, tile manufacturers have an unlimited array of what can be produced. This is evident with the natural stone look tiles nowadays, however the timber look tiles would be the most exciting new range of products available.
Available in a range of sizes, styles and some having both an indoor and outdoor finish, these can be used through the inside of your home and carried outside to alfresco areas, patios and porches. This indoor/outdoor design is very popular nowadays!
No oiling…no sanding…no polishing and no scratching like traditional timber floors. When laid closed together with a minimum grout joint, these tiles will give you an unbelievably realistic look and feel of traditional timber. They can be used in all internal areas, including bathrooms, where it is becoming more and more popular. These tiles look so much like timber, however don't require sealing and are virtually maintenance free!
Available in a range of sizes and pricing to suit all budgets, there is a timber look tile for everyone.

Jasmin Haynes, a UConn MSW student with a concentration in Community Organization, chose the UConn School of Social Work due to her belief that the school's MSW program would provide her with the knowledge and skills necessary to take her organization to the next level.
Bachelor's Degree: Michigan State University, BS in Urban and Regional Planning
I chose to attend UConn because of the method-based curriculum. As the co-founder of a 501(c)(3) non-profit in Detroit, MI, Builders of Promise, I was intrinsically involved in community organizing. However, I had no formal training in best practices for the work I was doing, and I believed UConn's MSW program would provide me with the knowledge and skills necessary to take my organization to the next level.
During my first year, the MSW program pushed me to be both introspective and extrospective—analyzing self and the world around me. Through course work and field experience, I began to understand the intersectionality of micro and macro-level social work. Though it is a method-based curriculum, the program places an emphasis on the importance of a multi-tiered approach to problem solving through the foundational courses. I found that Micro-, mezzo-, and macro-level work must be done to adequately service marginalized populations.
This year I am serving as co-chair of the Graduate Student Organization (GSO) and student representative to the Education Review Committee. Through these positions, I am looking to increase awareness of pressing issues within our communities and increase cultural humility. I look forward to continued work with the SSW community.
My advice for future students is to "get comfortable being uncomfortable". Do not settle for mediocrity. Push yourself beyond your known limits. Get involved with GSO and network. Take advantage of all opportunities that arise. Use this time to find your voice within social work and then employ it to change the world. Push the moral arc of the universe further towards justice. Finally, enjoy this journey!

"Glee" has already issued five official soundtrack albums and four episode-themed EPs, but season 2's breakout club, the Dalton Academy Warblers, is finally making its full-length debut. "Glee: The Music presents The Warblers" will be released Apr. 19 on Columbia Records and feature 13 tracks from the group, some of which will not be performed on the hit Fox show.
While previously aired episode highlights like "Teenage Dream" and "Bills, Bills, Bills" will appear on the album, two songs on the release -- covers of Barbra Streisand [1]'s "What Kind of Fool" and Rod Stewart [2]'s "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?" -- will be exclusive to the soundtrack. As Gleeks can assume, "Warblers" will showcase the all-male a cappella group led by Chris Colfer's Kurt, Darren Criss' Blaine and the Tufts University Beezlebubs.
Lady Gaga, 'Glee' Songs Dominate Hot 100 [3]
The "Glee" group is already enjoying a positive week due to the strong performance of its first original songs, which premiered in the Mar. 15 episode. "Loser Like Me" debuted at No. 2 on the Digital Songs chart [4] with 210,000 copies sold according to Nielsen SoundScan, while "Get It Right" followed at No. 6 with 151,000 copies.
Here is the track list for "Glee: The Music presents The Warblers":

Gardening: Heat wave has upsides, but requires vigilance
Sat., July 19, 2014
Summer has arrived in the Inland Northwest with a vengeance. While the tomatoes, eggplant, squash and peppers love the heat, they don't like the dryness. Neither does the rest of the garden.
The biggest challenge right now is adjusting your sprinkler systems and other water devices to meet the needs of the plants in 90-degree heat. First, check your heads, especially on drip irrigation systems. Look for plugged heads and leaking lines and fix them. Otherwise the only way you will know there is a problem is when the plants start dying, and by then it's too late.
The dry heat and wind pull a lot of water through the plants, so increase the frequency of irrigation. First check how deep the water is getting in the soil by digging 6-inch deep holes. A bulb planting tool works well for this. If the soil is damp at the 6-inch point, hold off on increasing the water. If it isn't, increase the watering intervals and times. How frequently will be depend on how much clay, sand and organic matter you have. Sandy soils will need more frequent irrigation than clay soils. Soils high in organic matter hold more moisture for longer periods.
Add mulch to any open soil areas in your vegetable or ornamental beds to help keep the moisture from evaporating from the soil and to keep it cool. Weed the area well before applying your mulch to keep the weeds from popping up through the cover. Next spring, remember to apply mulches early in the growing season to save you time and energy weeding. Shredded pine needles, untreated grass clippings, bark and compost all make good mulches.
One advantage of these hot days is that the nights have warmed up to well over 55 degrees. Tomatoes and peppers need temperatures above 55 at night to set fruit. To help the plants release pollen either gently shake the stems with blooms or use an old electric toothbrush to vibrate the flowers, thereby releasing pollen. The downside of this is that if the temperatures during the day get to the mid-90s and above, fruit set will be disrupted.
Most cool season crops like lettuce, peas, spinach and kale can't tolerate the heat and will begin to wither in the heat. Spinach and lettuce are likely to bolt or go to flower as the days begin to shorten. The best thing to do is pull out those crops and plant a cover crop in their place until early August when it will be time to plant fall crops. Good cover crops include buckwheat, field or Austrian peas or oats. Buckwheat is especially good because it has a lot of organic matter and the bees love the white flowers.
Now is a good time to give most vegetable crops a dose of fertilizer as they begin growing quickly. Scatter the fertilizer on the soil under the plants and water it in well. Don't work it into the soil as this will damage shallow plant roots.

The previous owners passed on that ethic to Brent and, in 2014, they passed the business to him, too. He's only the third owner since the company's inception. Hobo Camper Country believes in keeping a business working for the long haul, much like the machines it works on.
The list of repairs Brent and his staff do in their yard is vast. They fix window leaks, service and install RV appliances, repair brakes, redo electrical wiring, renovate interiors, and re-side exteriors, among other services. They do just about everything to an RV except drivetrain repairs. Seeing the range of vehicles parked in the Hobo Camper Country yard (behind its store front on Edmonton Trail), it is apparent everyone from summertime campers with tent trailers to landscapers with hauling trailers bring in their rigs for servicing.
Brent looks at his job for the day parked just outside the bay doors of the repair shop. "This is an insurance job. He hit a barn," he says, pointing to the RV with part of its side panelling missing. "I have to make a new lower panel. That's all done by hand in the shop so we don't have to order it from third party companies." The fact that the metal work is done on site means less waiting time for the owner.
In all the jobs he has worked on over the years, one of his favourites was restoring a Travelaire motorhome that was smashed by a falling tree."We built it better than the original one," says Brent. "We actually put structure in the walls where it should have been, but wasn't. They were concerned about keeping it light. Weight shouldn't be a factor on these things. Safety should be."
In its front of house, Hobo Camper Country has a parts and supplies shop. The shelves stock replacement roof vents, toilet chemicals, window sealants and much more for do-it-yourself maintenance. The front desk is a portal to its massive store of new and used parts – everything from water heaters and furnaces to switches and hitches.
While the shop stocks current, top name brands, Brent says they warehouse good used parts from older vehicles. You never know when someone needs it. "We don't throw anything away because you might have that one part sitting in a pile of old antique parts and that will fix something so a guy can enjoy his holidays instead of waiting three or four weeks to get a part," he says. That resourceful practicality amassed from decades of expert experience helps keep the RVs travelling on the road where they belong." >

Vizio 19" VA19L Monitor Screen Flicker During Video Games
Hi everyone,
So I just got this brand new 19" BEAUTIFUL Vizio 19" HDTV Monitor from my Brother. He's a Coastie and can't bring it with him to A School, so he gave it to me as a VERY early Birthday and Christmas Present. I was, of course, VERY appreciative LOL. Anyway, the Monitor works great and, for the moment, I have it connected to my HP Pavilion Elite HPE via the RGB PC Slot (I intend on getting an HDMI cord tomorrow, God Willing). It works fine and dandy, great picture, even on the RGB, HOWEVER, whenever I go fullscreen OR Windowed on any of my Video Games, especially World of Warcraft, the screen flickers like you wouldn't believe. Any movie I play has NO problems whatsoever, it seems to ONLY do this when I play a game. I tried every configuration of video settings on each game, tried messing around with the monitor settings to no avail. Do any of you know enough about these new spiffy HDTV Monitors that could help a brother out? I'd appreciate any advice and/or info you could give an old PC Dinosaur. I KNOW this Monitor can do better and am looking forward to how it will look connected to the HDMI but, for now, would like to fix my screen flicker problem.
I should tell you my resolution is set to 1380 X 768 at 60hz. No other refresh rate is showing nor will be allowed by this monitor (have no idea why). I can adjust the actual resolution but that does NOT fix the flicker problem in the game. I should also say that when the screen does begin to flicker, it does not stop until I restart the PC.
I hope all this info helps and look forward to your replies!

There's a reason they called George W. Bush "the DeciderCitation Needed": a new study has been published that suggests that conservative ideologies are linked to "low-effort" thinking.
Now, "low-effort" thinking is not the same as low intelligence, and the point of this study is not to suggest that low intelligence is connected with prejudice and socially conservative beliefs. That was a different study.
"People endorse conservative ideology more when they have to give a first or fast response," wrote the study's lead author, University of Arkansas psychologist Dr. Scott Eidelman.
However, he did add, lest you jump to conclusions, that "Our research shows that low-effort thought promotes political conservatism, not that political conservatives use low-effort thinking."
Hilariously, the first round of research took place in a bar, and patrons with high blood-alcohol levels were more likely to express conservative viewpoints than their more sober peers, a finding I can confirm allegorically by way of every family gathering ever. But the connection continued in an actual laboratory setting: people asked to evaluate political ideas quickly or while distracted were more likely to express conservative viewpoints.
"Keeping people from thinking too much… or just asking them to deliberate or consider information in a cursory manner can impact people's political attitudes, and in a way that consistently promotes political conservatism," Dr. Eidelman continued.
Obviously, there are no value judgments on either political alignments with this study, and it really only goes to show that people tend to gravitate towards simple, black-and-white interpretations when under stress. Of course, some conservative viewpoints do happen to neatly dovetail into black-and-white pairings ("With us or against us" comes to mind) rather than subtle shadings of context and circumstance, so there's that. And there was that one recent president that freely copped to leading with his gut rather than his brain, but it's still kind of a chicken-or-the-egg question: do conservatives lump everything into fewer categories of right and wrong because they prefer to see the world that way, or is it a byproduct of moving towards conclusions quicker than lefties?
