SyFy channel sucks now
Poster Handle
Post Content
Yah it totally sucks. I was a loyal Sci-Fi Channel viewer until "the dumbening" happened. I still have all my favourite shows and series and movies downloaded so I can re-create an a/v playlist based on TV Guide listings from the 90's.
I actually got rid of television once and for all after The Dumbening. I do everything online now.
Anonymous Coward 12790821
I agree with the OP too.
I noticed the decline in quality even before the SciFi/SyFy change, but it definitely accelerated after that. I often wondered why all of the really low-grade 'horror' films and other junk like wrestling was put on the channel. Some Sci-Fiers are into horror, but most of the folks I know are not; definitely not wrestling or the other C-grade or minus material that they have now.
It's all so degrading. Sci-Fi as a genre used to be interesting, futuristic, and reaching for something new. The SyFy channel is degrading. I feel like my IQ goes down when I watch it.
I find myself speculating that this is part of a trend across the media to dumb-down folks and promote a culture of violence.
Too bad... The media could have lifted humanity and taken us to better things. Instead it's all the lowest common denominator and going down from there.
Work in your garden, listen to an audio book, and marvel at the natural world around you instead.

A 19-year-old female has admitted her role in an armed robbery at the Kangaroo gas station on East Brained Road.
Keoshia Starling, of 1507 Hickory Valley Road, is facing a charge of aggravated robbery.
Julian Pasley, 18, of 701 N. Germantown Road, was also taken into custody for aggravated robbery.
In the incident last Thursday, the manager said she and a co-worker were in the rear room counting money when they were robbed by three armed suspects.
She said one of the robbers entered the rear room and pointed a long-barrel revolver at them, while demanding money.
The other two remained in the food area, while the first robber took the money deposits along with money from the cash register.
All three then fled on foot toward a nearby Subway restaurant.
Just over an hour later, Ms. Starling, who is the sister of the 19-year-old co-worker who was robbed, called police and reported her vehicle stolen from her residence.
Police took her in for questioning, and she gave a detailed confession.
She said she discussed robbing the Kangaroo along with Pasley, a juvenile and an unknown person.
Ms. Starling said she drove the trio to the gas station and she parked in the Subway parking lot. She said they exited their vehicle armed with firearms and carried out the holdup.
The co-worker said she recognized one of the robbers on the Kangaroo surveillance video as a person she knows as "Lil Man." She later identified Pasley as "Lil Man."

About صورسكسي مفتوحة
صورسكسي مفتوحة The gameplay consists of a mixture of action, adventure, driving, and occasional role-playing, stealth and racing elements and has gained controversy for its adult nature and violent themes. صورسكسي بنات مع حيوان Like in the previous series Dragonball, Dragon Ball Z has many naming conventions/jokes. But the anime got to the point where action scenes were starting to get spaced out very thinly in order to make more episodes. For one of the most action packed animes around they sure did the opposite with the movie. صورسكسي بنات مع حيوان But when they say evolution, I don`t expect the studio turns something respectable like Dragonball into rubbish.
صورسكسي لمذيعة الحدث نجوى In a recent episode Snake Eyes was counting on Hi-Tech to tell him where Zartan was, apparently Snake Eyes no longer has any Ninja senses. صورسكسي مفتوحة It feels like they made this movie for the people who hate the anime. The series focuses around many different protagonists who attempt to rise through the ranks of the criminal underworld, although their motives for doing so vary in each game. It is understandable that the film isn`t exactly the same as the original comic, but the characters and the plot just suck as a film on its own. صورسكسي بنات مع حيوان It is understandable that the film isn`t exactly the same as the original comic, but the characters and the plot just suck as a film on its own.

Akira Shoji will have his last bout April 23 against Kazuo
Misaki. | Jeff Sherwood/Sherdog.com
At Deep "52
Impact" on Friday in Tokyo, hard-luck veteran Akira Shoji
announced he would fight once more before officially ending his
professional fighting career. Shoji offered an open invitation to
opponents, which was quickly accepted by former Pride grand prix
champion Kazuo
Misaki and Shoji will meet for the second time at Deep's "53
Impact" on April 23 at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo. Shoji and Misaki
originally met in February 2006 at Deep's "23
Impact," where Misaki floored Shoji with brutal striking before
eventually finishing the fight via guillotine in just 2:32. Shoji
has not competed since the last-ever
Pride event in April 2007, when he was knocked out by Gilbert Yvel
in the first round.
Perhaps realizing their second encounter is one in which a win
would be difficult, a somber but determined Shoji claimed, "This is
my retirement fight, and I don't want my career to end with any
regrets, so I want this fight to end in kaishaku."
By "kaishaku," Shoji refers to the Japanese ritual suicide,
"seppuku," in which the person committing suicide has a second
individual assist in chopping off his head, provided he is unable
to completely disembowel himself.
Falling in line with the drama, an intense Misaki said, "We fought
in February 2006, and that fight made me who I am today. I want to
show a fight with a samurai's soul. I will crush him."
Shoji, a former Chukyo University judo standout, started his MMA
career in 1996 after joining
Wajutsu Keishukai. The undersized Shoji went on to compete 23
times for Pride, where he developed a reputation for his gameness
in challenging much larger and more talented foes, earning the
nickname "Mr. Pride."
Shoji faced a "Who's Who" of MMA, including Igor
Vovchanchyn, Mark Coleman,
Henderson, Wanderlei
Silva, Mauricio Rua
and even giant multiple-time K-1 World Grand
Prix champion Semmy Schilt.
The perpetual underdog also pulled off several upsets, taking wins
over the likes of Guy Mezger and
More recently, Shoji has served as a professional wrestler with
Pride-linked professional wrestling organization Hustle, while also
embarking on his career as an MMA official, regularly serving as a
judge for both Dream and
Deep in the last two years.

Happy Idol Day!
To celebrate, check out another rumored American Idol 10 Top 40 contestant, courtesy of Gangreen29 and JoesPlaceBlog.
Haley Reinhart- Haley has a cool, brassy tone to her voice. One thing I really like about her is that she can sing in a restrained style, but also bust it out like in her idol audition. She seems really likeable, but if she picks the wrong song to show off her voice, she could be an early casualty.

Deseret News recruiting grades in for BYU, Utah and Utah State
Utah's group is also full of promising defensive backs — a big need for the program stemming from last season and the graduation of top contributors, including Keith McGill. The Utes went far and wide to attract top talent from Florida and Louisiana, such as Andre Godfrey and Travonne Hobbs, among others.
Missing from Utah's class are key battles won against top Pac-12 rivals. The bar for Utah recruiting has been raised with Pac-12 affiliation and it's hard to argue it reached that bar with a class that's ranked near, or at the bottom, of the Pac-12 conference by national recruiting services.
Grade: C
Utah State
The Aggies are now known as consistent winners, and that fact is playing well with their recruiting efforts.
The days are long gone when Utah State was simply a fall-back program for recruits who didn't receive offers from either Utah or BYU. Recruits are now committing to the Aggies without hesitation and even after being offered by the Cougars or Utes.
The Aggies were able to convince East tight end Joe Tukuafu late in the process to forgo his Utah commitment and sign with them. Doing as much is a new, and promising, development for Utah State recruiting, as a whole.
Matt Wells, and his staff, were big players in the local market — landing top talent such as Stansbury Park's Chase Christiansen (LB), Lone Peak's Baron Gajkowski (QB) and East's Preston Curtis (WR) among many others.
The class also includes eight junior college transfers who will be asked to make immediate contributions.

In my journey I expected to meet many interesting people but drastically underestimated the power these people how it would have an affect on me. The education throughout the walk I am receiving is so enlightning. Many people reading the blog know me very well and some know me from a far. I am a confident guy to say the least and I come acrossed as a know it all and cocky little guy. Today I got a lesson in the recession by two young men in their twenties. Which proves my ignorance of the world. They also were on a journey that began south of Boston.

A title by any other name IS NOT YOUR TITLE! Real estate title is supposed to be as unique as the land it represents, but there can be more thorns than roses in land ownership.
While you can't prevent thorns on a rose bush, you can wear leather gloves. Title claims have sharp, painful edges, and you can get hung up on legal fees trying to defend your ownership in a court of law. If you get snagged by a challenge to your property ownership, then it's your responsibility to defend your rights.

My good friend Pennie is support team Captain today and her faithful assistant Libby had not arrived yet in Georgia when incident took place. While during my morning break and I was getting something out of the back seat of the Ford Edge "Walking with Troy" Pennie accidently let her foot off the brake and if not for my amazing athletic abilities I would not have been able to get my foot out of the way.

The St. Augustine St. Patrick's Day parade in this Saturday, March 10. Why so early? The parade was moved up one week because the organizers of the parade and the St. Augustine Celtic Music & Heritage Festival wanted the two events to coincide.
Since Francis Field was already reserved March 16-18 for the St. Augustine Lions Seafood Festival, the Celtic Fest organizers had to settle on March 10-11 for the date of this year's event, also held at Francis Field, 29 W. Castillo Drive, next to the parking garage.

I am planning on traveling to Nepal for a month in June 2014 and am looking for authentic shamans or oracles that I can visit and learn from and participate in ceremonies.
I have been looking online for someone who can help do do this for nearly the past month and a half to no avail. The companies that advertise online providing such services primarily are trekking companies with no shaman contacts or are very cryptic which leads me to believe they too may have no such contacts.
i need help finding someone who can help me find shamans and oracles in Nepal.
Can anyone lease help me or refer me to someone who can?
Thank you!

Modern Design: Clean and Simple
I Came, I Saw, I Learned

Companies are promoting designers to the CEO level (design-e-o's?), incorporating design at the highest levels, prioritizing design, paying designers the big bucks, and generally going on a design spree.

The State of Instructional Design
Tom Spiglanin
This is where the discipline of instructional design comes in. " And that led me to think about instructional design (and L&D as a whole) as it's often practiced today: practitioners want solutions they can implement. The needs analysis was often obvious, as were the design choices. Less than a week later, Andrew Jacobs wrote very similar thoughts. " 2.

Why Instructional Designers Should Draw

According to graphic designer Von Glitschka, his industry (graphic design) has: "become creatively lazy over the last 20 years when it comes to the creative process… Instead of spending the necessary time working out concepts by drawing out the ideas and thoroughly exploring the visual possibilities in a drawn form, they instead immediately jump on the box."

Designing Learning Like Professionals
Clark Quinn
I'm increasingly realizing that the ways we design and develop content are part of the reason why we're not getting the respect we deserve. Our brains are arguably the most complex things in the known universe, yet we don't treat our discipline as the science it is. We need to start combining experience design with learning engineering to really start delivering solutions. To truly design learning, we need to understand learning science. The point I'm trying to make is that we have to stop treating designing learning as something anyone can do.

ASV introduced C-Worker, a multiuse offshore unmanned surface vehicle developed to conduct subsea positioning, surveying and environmental monitoring for oil and gas operations.
C-Worker was demonstrated to members of the oil and gas and offshore surveying industries in January 2014 when ASV, alongside sister company C&C Technologies operated the vehicle in the Solent off Portsmouth, U.K. Fitted with a Sonardyne Gyro USBL acoustic positioning system, the vehicle successfully executed seabed positioning and Compatt calibration as well as station keeping and following survey lines.
C-Worker leverages technology from over 50 highly successful unmanned vehicles ASV has built to date. Additional technological advancements introduced in the C-Worker include the integration of a variety of offshore payload combinations including USBL, ADCP (current meter), CTD, Multibeam Sonar, Acoustic Telemetry, and Passive Acoustic Sonar (PAM) for marine mammal detection. Payloads can be developed by ASV or by customers who are supplied an empty payload frame and a software and power interface specification. The C-Worker's navigation sensor suite is comprised of C-Nav DGNSS, color and light cameras, an infrared pan tilt camera, an x-band marine radar and AIS.
ASV Managing Director Dan Hook said "The C-Worker represents a new way of working, enabling customers to operate safely in the most challenging environments, reducing the risk to personnel and saving costs".
Having completed the build and commissioning of the first C-Worker, ASV are now underway with the production of the second. The vehicles will be operated and leased by ASV with options for bare-boat and full service solutions.
ASV and C&C Technologies will be attending this year's Oceanology International, March 11-13, London. Visit them at stand K301.

Is Ryan Wendell ready to replace Dan Koppen at center?
|09.03.12 at 2:35 pm ET
FOXBORO — There will be a new full-time center snapping the ball to Tom Brady in 2012.
In the preseason that featured more moving parts along the Patriots offensive line than a well-oiled machine, Ryan Wendell appears to be that guy.
The reason? With center Dan Connolly likely moving over to take Brian Waters' spot at right guard and with guard/center Matt Tennant still learning the Patriots blocking schemes, Wendell is most-suited to the center job.
Wendell (3 starts) and Connolly (11 starts) shared those duties in 2011 when Dan Koppen went out with an ankle injury in the season opener in Miami. But this season, with the release of Koppen, Wendell appears to be the man who will get the call to handle signal-calling along the line and stabilize interior protection. Wendell has the experience advantage over Donald Thomas, who is certainly also in the mix as the Patriots consider interior depth along the offensive line.
Still, Wendell, who has played and practiced with Koppen since joining the Patriots in 2008 as an undrafted rookie out of Fresno State, the same school that produced Patriots Pro Bowl left guard Logan Mankins under coach Pat Hill.
"Koppen's a great guy, great player and a great friend of mine and I'm happy to be his friend in the future," Wendell said on Monday. "Being behind Koppen and watching him play for the last several years has been a great learning experience on how to be a pro.
"Specific examples, just work ethic, study habits, how to practice, being a pro is lot more than about what you do on Sundays."
Wendell played in all four preseason games, starting the games against the Eagles and Giants. Last year, he started three games at center. He has started five games in his three seasons in the NFL.
"I think every year is different," Wendell said. "The only similarity is that you always are trying to do the best you can in your role. You go out and try to work every day and you just try to get better at whatever that role is.
"You're just happy to be out there and work hard each day and try to get better at your job. I'm most comfortable every day going out and trying to play football, do my best."
There has been plenty of speculation that no one has seen the "real" Patriots offensive line yet since they did not employ the "no-huddle" or "hurry-up" in preseason games. Could the tempo change drastically this Sunday?
"We'll have to see on Sunday when that comes up," Wendell said. "I'm really excited. I think everybody is to get the season started in earnest, to fight for wins that count toward our record. I think we're all excited for that, I am. I'm just really excited to go out there and just try to do the best I can in my role.
"Like I said, we'll find out on Sunday."

My English friend told me to ask Kiwis about "the underarm bowling incident". He said to "bring popcorn" and that this would be fertile ground for a column.
I had no idea what he was talking about and assumed he was mocking me the way he always does. But I did it anyway and was indeed blown away by the responses.
Young and old all recounted the 1981 cricket match final with burning passion. The most interesting responses came at a journalism class reunion.
"It's one of the most disgusting moments of sport ever," said sports reporter Andrew.
I learned that the Australian captain, to prevent New Zealand from any chance of scoring the six they needed to tie, instructed his bowler to deliver the last ball underarm, along the ground.
"The action was legal at the time," Andrew explained, "but it was dishonourable."
He explained that Australia won the game but were booed off the field by spectators.
I shrugged and said: "I don't see why it should be wrong to win a game playing by the rules."
"And that is why the French don't play cricket," he said.
TV reporter Ben gave a detailed explanation of why exploiting the rules was wrong. "I don't know how they do it in Europe, but that's not how you do it in New Zealand. Everyone knew you just don't throw underarm balls."
His friend disagreed. "It's like getting the student allowance. If there's a loophole in the rules, you should exploit it," she said.
I turned to radio journo Daniela. She summed up New Zealand's feelings about the incident in one clear sentence.
"That was Australians being complete expletives."
Her boyfriend, Max, an English reporter, was more phlegmatic about it. "At the end of the day, you do what you can to win. In any other country they can understand that. But it was a big deal for Kiwis because they see Australia as their biggest rival for everything. But Australia thinks England is its biggest rival, and England thinks its biggest rival is France."
"France wins then," I said. Because I don't care about cricket, I found it hard to understand how the event had incensed so many people. But then I remembered a game of Ticket to Ride I had played a few months ago.
This board game's goal is to build as many trains as possible to complete routes going through a European map. If you don't complete one of your routes, you lose lots of points.
When you place your trains on the map, you might happen to block someone - annoying for them but part of the game.
However, I had played Ticket to Ride several times until then with Kiwi friends and there seemed to be an unwritten rule against going out of your way just to block someone.
That day, an Irish friend did the unspeakable. He deliberately blocked my route from Cadiz to Rostov, even though he did not need to build there for one of his routes. Did he not know the unwritten rule? Two minutes later, he blocked me again, saying there was no rule against it. I was so angry I nearly flipped the board.
When you expect fair play, acts of skulduggery come as a shock.
So what have I learned? Well, it seems to me that Kiwis put a great deal of store in fair play - and that's something I'm happy to admire.
What is more important for you: Playing fair, or winning? Comment below, email me at email@example.com or follow me on Twitter.

CES: AMD announces its Temash tablet platform
Quad-core chip will bring performance to tablets
LAS VEGAS: CHIP DESIGNER AMD has announced a suite of graphics and CPU hardware destined for release in 2013, including its first quad-core system-on-chip (SoC) processor.
Designed for use in tablet and notebook systems, the "Temash" and "Kabini" chips will combine graphics and processing onto a single piece of silicon. The company believes that the chips will help to dramatically increase the performance of tablet and notebook systems that previously had faced power and cooling constraints.
The quad-core APUs will be able to provide full support for Windows 8 and HD 1080p graphics. The company showed off a prototype device that included a HD 1080p 10.1in touchscreen and had a thickness of just 10mm.
AMD global business unit SVP and general manager Lisa Su said that the company had previously viewed the tablet sector as divided into two camps: lower-end devices which were designed mainly for consumers and high-end devices that led to bulky designs and short battery lives.
"What we are introducing with Temash is the ability to get the best of both worlds," Su explained. "This is truly a performance tablet with no compromise."
The Temash unveiling was part of a larger showcase of AMD's 2013 lineup. The company also showed reporters its plans for its Radeon mobile graphics hardware. The Radeon HD 8000M will add the company's Graphics Core Next architecture to the mobile GPU line, resulting in a performance increases.
The company is also looking to extend the reach of its APU line. The "Richland" A-series APUs will offer OEMs the ability to integrate new services such as facial recognition and gesture controls with PCs.
The updates are part of what Su says will be an eventful 2013 for AMD in which the company will seek to realise many of its long-term projects and goals.
"This is about, for AMD, both vision and execution," Su said. "We are going to continue to talk about this mantra for the next several years." µ

Order to your size!,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: FRYE Women's Paige Tall Riding Boot (Apparel)
After reading the reviews, I went against my better judgement and ordered 1/2 size smaller than my typical size 7, mostly because I sometimes wear a 6.5 in certain shoes. The reviews REALLY stressed going down a 1/2 size, so I did and I ordered a 6.5. BIG MISTAKE go with the size you most typically wear! They were too tight, I had to return them and order a 7! The boots are incredible though! You'll love them.

The U.S. International Trade Commission today ruled that Samsung violated two patents owned by Apple, though it also cleared Samsung of violating four other Apple patents. The patents that Samsung was found to violate pertain to headphone jacks and scrolling behavior on mobile devices. The ITC ruled that Samsung should be prohibited from importing, selling, and distributing the devices that infringe on the patents. The ban goes into effect in 60 days, during which time the executive branch can choose to veto the ban. The products involved include the Samsung Galaxy Fascinate, Captivate, and S 4G, as well as the Galaxy Tab, and Galaxy Tab 10.1. Earlier this week, the Obama administration vetoed a similar ban that found Apple guilty of infringing on Samsung's patents. In the that case, however, the patents involved were standard essential and were thus held to a different standard. The patents Samsung was found guilty of infringing today are not standard essential.

2013 profile
Australian Dirk Nannes joins Glamorgan in 2013 for their Twenty20 campaign. The 36 year-old left-arm seamer has an outstanding record in this shorter form of the game, having also played in fifteen International T20 matches for Australia, besides making a couple of appearances for Holland � the country of birth of his parents.
 Dirk already has extensive experience of Twenty20 cricket for English counties having previously played for Middlesex (2008), Nottinghamshire (2010) and Surrey (2011-12), besides being the leading wicket-taker in the 2010 Twenty20 World Cup in the Caribbean with a haul of 14 wickets at just 13 runs apiece. In the last few years, he has become a Twenty20 specialist having played worldwide for, amongst others, Victoria, Melbourne Renegades and Sydney Thunder in Australia, Canterbury in New Zealand, the Delhi Daredevils and the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League, the Sylhet Royals in Bangladesh, Basnahira Cricket Dundee in Sri Lanka and the Mountaineers in Zimbabwe.
 During his twenties, Dirk was also a talented skier and, after competing successfully at World Cup skiing events, he narrowly missed out on selection for the Australian Winter Olympics squad. But skiing's loss was cricket's gain as Dirk, after several successful years in club cricket in the U.K. and grade cricket in Australia, duly made his first-class debut at the age of 29 for Victoria in the 2005/06 season. He subsequently took 22 Pura Cup wickets besides being the spearhead to the Middlesex attack when they lifted the Twenty20 crown in 2008.
