Department of Counseling
The Faculty of the Counseling Department have set the following goals for the 2002-2003 academic year:
This goal was unanimously re-adopted at our Summer 2002 departmental
retreat. We are committed to the enhancement and on-going development of our caring community - this includes our caring for each other, our students, and others who are outside of the department. Caring for each other this year will involve helping each other renew our individual and collective energies, remain connected, and to maintain our commitment to safeguard ourselves (the department) from new initiatives (a recommendation of our external evaluators). Additionally, Dr. Dandeneau proposed that the "Lessons from Geese" by Ariel Arrien be identified as the departmental theme for the year. The lessons emphasize: the efficiency of a common direction/purpose; the value of working together; sharing leadership and being interdependent; and, the importance of encouragement and helping one another. The theme was wholeheartedly endorsed.
This goal was challenged during the 2003-2004 academic year by the various personnel decision needing to be made by the department. Differences amongst the group surfaced and those differences caused friction and some withdrawal from the departmental caring community. While these differences were present, they did not affect the workings of the department. However, at the Summer 2003 retreat "unfinished business" was examined and processed and plans for working through similar differences in the future were developed.
Goal 2a - Student Review
Last academic year the department implemented a comprehensive student review process. The department has agreed to continue that process for this coming academic year. The goal for this year is to refine, streamline, and make any necessary improvements to the process, specifically to aligin it with the University candidacy review process.
The completion of student reviews this academic year was not timely. The changes in clerical staff made the usual time frame impossible. The reviews were completed in June instead of the usual December. Feedback regarding the terminology used in the letters was received from students. This feedback will be used by faculty to revise the letters.
Goal 2b - Admission
The department will continue to streamline the student admission processes. The external reviewers recommended that the department divide some of the tasks so that all faculty are not involved in all aspect of admissions. Given the workload involved with the admission process, particularly in the summer, the department has requested that Dr.Dandeneau explore with the Dean of the College of Education and Educational Technology and other campus constituents, namely the Dean of Graduate School and Research, the feasibility of changing the admission deadline/workshops. The basic proposal includes: conducting only one admission workshop in the summer for Monroeville and eliminating the campus workshop; and, moving the dates of the other admission workshops to early in the year (November and April instead of December and May).
The faculty agreed that this goal has been met. The admission process is streamlined and our selection process is working quite well. With the University emphasis on enrollment, upon consultation with the Dean, Dr. Dandeneau recommended to the department that the campus summer admission be continued.
Goal 2c - Scheduling
I. There are two scheduling goals for the academic year. The first focuses
on the issue that scheduling of clinical/practicum courses is problematic. Often students needing courses to graduate are unable to register for them. The department has resolved to find a resolution for this. The department will work with the registrar's office to try and "stair-step" scheduling so that the students with the most credits can register first.
The request was brought forth to the troubleshooting committee by Dr. Janet Fontaine. It was scheduled to be completed by the TSC, but the priority was low – approximately 64 on the list.
II. The second goal focuses on the recommendation of the external reviewers
to develop a "fixed schedule" that would ease student planning of course progression through the program. A sub-committee (Dr. Dandeneau, Dr. Guth, Dr. Rishel and a member of the student organization, CESA) will develop several static calendar options and present their recommendations to the faculty. The faculty will then work to a final consensus decision regarding the schedule.
Beginning work was done on the fixed schedule by Drs. Rishel, Guth and Dandeneau. There was not consensus that a permanent fixed schedule was the "best solution" for departmental needs. This goal will be re-fashioned for the 2003-2004 academic year.
Goal 3 - Maintain Faculty FTE
The faculty anticipates the retirement of Dr. John Worzbyt at the end of Summer 2003. The department is concerned that the University planning that calls for the elimination of 29 faculty positions could include his position. The department chair, Dr. Dandeneau, will work closely with Dr. Butzow to advocate on behalf of that position being maintained within the department. With successful retention of the position, a departmental search committee will be formed to fill the position. The position would start in the Fall 2003. Should the department not be successful in keeping the faculty FTE, then Dr. Dandeneau will address with faculty the feasibility of maintaining the operation of a school certification program and present the departmental recommendations to the Dean.
With the support of Dean Butzow, we have a pending approval to begin the search for Dr. Worzbyt's position. In the interim, Dr. Worzbyt will work as an annuitant and will be teaching three courses in both the Fall '03 and Spring '04
Goal 4a
Respond to the need for Field Experience for the MA degree to be moved to a 600-hour experience. The rules and regulations as developed by the licensure board call for this to be completed by 2007 and that subsequent 6 credits of practicum/internship will suffice. The department goal is to monitor and track developments in this area as necessary.
The curriculum committee moved this change through the University process and it was approved in late Spring. Goal 4b
Several classes, which have been offered under the temporary COUN 681 prefix need to be moved through the University curriculum process to have them institutionalized. A sub-committee (Drs. McCarthy, L'Amoreaux, Rishel, and Guth) has been developed to champion four classes through the curriculum process. The classes are: Family Issues in Counseling; Wellness Issues in Counseling; Diagnostic Issues in Counseling; and Human Sexuality Issues in Counseling.
The four classes were approved through the College of Education and Educational Technology and were forwarded to the Graduate Committee of the Senate. There were some concerns raised by the Psychology Department because they have similar courses, particularly Family Therapy and a Diagnostic-type Course. Drs. McCarthy and Dandeneau met with Dr. Mary Lou Zanich to discuss the issues of concern. To date, no further word has been heard from the Psychology Department. Also, an email was sent to the Health and Physical Education department for their feedback with respect to the Wellness Course.
Under the leadership of Dr. McCarthy the department will continue to offer workshops (credit and non-credit) designed to facilitate a response to the growing need of counseling professionals for CEU's and/or credits to meet Pennsylvania Department of Education Act 48 standards or PA licensure standards. The target goals are to have a workshop in the Pittsburgh area in the Fall, and a workshop in the Indiana area in the Spring.
The department continued to offer two workshops; one in the Fall (campus) and the other in the Spring (Monroeville).
We will seek to enhance and improve: 1.) the working relationship with the Director of Off-Campus Studies; 2.) the clinical facilities available at the site; 3.) the policies with respect to practicum and internship; and 4.) the departmental interaction/interface with the Monroeville students.
1.) The semi-monthly meetings held with Paula Sandusky have been quite helpful in building and maintaining a good working relationship with the GSR.
2.) Additional TV's with video playback capabilities were ordered to ensure adequate equipment for supervision.
3.) Developing the policies and procedures for the practicum and internship are is still in progress. Internship issues for Monroeville were handled in conjunction with the campus internship experience. This is progressing nicely. Details for the practicum experience are still evolving.
4.) The faculty met with the Monroeville students for a discussion forum. While the student attendance was low the faculty participation was high, this year's forum provided the faculty with very good feedback and ideas for building better connections. These ideas will be developed over the coming year. Goal 7 - Clinical Space
We will continue to coordinate the usage of the clinical space that includes collaboration with the Educational Psychology department. Additionally, we will explore with the help of the COE-ET Dean's Office and the Graduate School and Research the possibility of obtaining external/internal monies for the development of the departmental clinical space. Drs. Guth and Dandeneau will complete a foundation/grant proposal for distribution to possible funding sources.
Through the efforts of Drs. Dandeneau and Guth an internal proposal was put forth for the available University Technology Fee Funds. A total of $78,434 was awarded for the digital clinical training facility. Space was re-allocated for the housing of the training facility. It will be housed in Room 224.
We will work in conjunction with Associate Dean John Johnson in the support of the College's efforts to prepare for both the Pennsylvania Department of Education and the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education upcoming reviews.
The report for PDE was completed and turned into the Associate Dean's office. The overall NCATE review was postponed and work on it continues.
Maintaining an energized and meaningful connection to our alumni important to the department. We will work to enhance our utilization of our alumni to support and improve departmental curriculum and facilitate the department's ability to, not only maintain the status quo, but challenge the department to "think outside the box" and be on the cutting edge of counselor training and preparation. Focus will be on: developing a tracking system for surveying alumni, creating fundraising initiatives, and begin planning for the 40th year Departmental Anniversary in 2006.
The work of the Advisory Board continues. They have nominated a small sub-group that will work with Dr. Dandeneau on fundraising. Due to member attrition, the Board needed to nominate additional members. The process of application was developed and new members will be added this coming year.

Vermillion, South Dakota – Cal State Northridge fought back from a 13-point halftime deficit, gained an eight-point lead (71-63) with 4:37 to play, but eventually fell to the University of South Dakota, 76-75, in a non-league basketball game on Thursday evening at the DakotaDome.
The Coyotes hit their first eight shots of the game along with seven three-pointers to take a 45-32 halftime lead. South Dakota shot .621 (18-for-29) from the floor in the first half, including .700 (7-for-10) from three-point territory.
CSUN changed its defensive demeanor in the second half, courtesy of head coach Reggie Theus.
"We had a very pointed talk at halftime," said Theus. "We then played an extremely good second half. We outscored them (by eleven points). We had our opportunities down the stretch. We are so close to being a very good basketball game. It's the little things, particularly down the stretch, that we need to finish games (with a win). We had two 50-50 balls. One of them turned out to be a three-point play for them (South Dakota)."
An 18-4 run to start the second half gave the Matadors its first lead of the game, 49-48, with 15:23 to play.
With 3:42 on the clock, CSUN led, 71-63.
Stephen Maxwell's layup with 1:42 to play gave Cal State Northridge a 75-71 lead. The Coyotes hit a three-pointer 20 seconds later to cut the Matadors lead to one point, 75-74.
A USD foul with 59 seconds to play put the Matadors on the free throw line. But a miss on the front end of a one-and-one free throw opportunity gave the ball back to South Dakota. With 12 seconds to play, A Matador foul put USD's Trey Norris at the free throw line where he hit two free throws to give the Coyotes a 76-75 lead.
Two Matador shots failed to find the net, and South Dakota raced off the court with the one-point victory.
Cal State Northridge fell to 8-7. South Dakota broke its six-game losing streak to raise its season record to 4-9.
Stephan Hicks and Stephen Maxwell each scored 19 points while Josh Greene added 17 points. Hicks gained ten rebounds to give him four double-doubles for the year. Maxwell collected nine rebounds.
Trey Norris led South Dakota with 20 points including the two game winning free throws.
Matador Memo …
True Matador fans will attend a CSUN basketball game on the road or at home … In Thursday night's game at the University of South Dakota in Vermillion, Mike Mollet and Katie Wingate drove more than seven hours from Ladysmith (near Eau Claire), Wisconsin, to root for the Matadors … Mollet graduated from CSUN in 1983 with a Business Accounting degree … Mollet is now a CPA in Wisconsin … Mollet graduated from Granada Hills High School … Wingate is a nurse who graduated from the University of Wisconsin, but roots for the Matadors … Also in attendance were Rebekah Wallin, Erik Garcia and Enrique Marquez, who flew from Los Angeles to Vermillion to attend the game … Earlier this year, Wallin, Garcia and Marquez attended the Central Michigan Tournament in Mt. Pleasant … All three have traveled great distances in the last several years to root for the Matadors … Wallin, Garcia and Marquez will stay over in South Dakota to visit Mt. Rushmore … Landon Drew's older brother, Larry Drew II, played for UCLA during the 2012-13 season … Larry now plays for the Sioux Falls Sky Force of the NBA D-League … However, Larry Drew II didn't get a chance to see his younger brother play at the University of South Dakota game because the Sky Force was on a road trip … Landon also didn't get a chance to attend the Los Angeles Lakers game vs Milwaukee Bucks game on New Year's Eve at the Staples Center … Landon's dad, Larry, is the head coach of the Bucks, but Landon was traveling with the CSUN basketball team.

Portrait of Wallace's mother Mary Anne Greenell, undated, circa 1807.
This sepia photograph shows an oval miniature portrait in a square frame. It is Wallace's mother, Mary Anne Greenell, aged 18 years. The date is uncertain but the original portrait was possibly painted when she married Wallace's father, Thomas Vere Wallace in 1807. Mary Anne died in 1868, aged almost 80.
This photograph was reproduced in Wallace's autobiography My Life (facing page 16, 1905). Wallace was close to his immediate family and wrote many letters to his mother while on his travels around the Malay Archipelago.

Two rare species of shark have surfaced off the coast of Japan in recent weeks.
In late January, a frilled shark was caught and in early February, a goblin shark was captured. Both species are rarely seen and were captured alive.
'The appearance of two of the strangest-looking sharks in the world within a short space of each other is very exciting,' says Patrick Campbell, fish expert at the Natural History Museum.
'They are not often found. We have only nine specimens of frilled shark in our collection and four goblin sharks dating back to 1903.'
Frilled sharks are sometimes caught in the nets of trawlers but are rarely seen alive. This 1.6 metre female specimen was seen by a Japanese fisherman who alerted the Awashima Marine Park in Shizuoka. They captured it and got video footage of the shark but it later died.
Frilled sharks,
Chlamydoselachus anguineus
, usually live at ocean depths of between 600 and 1,300 metres and they are occasionally seen at the surface. They feed on small deep water fishes and squid.
Frilled sharks are odd-looking eel-like creatures. They have six gills that have frilly margins, giving them their name. Most sharks have only five gills.
A mouthful of sharp pitchfork-like teeth are in an odd arrangement, when compared with other shark species, having broad bases with three sharp cusps (the point of a tooth) separated by two small intermediate cusps.
The 1.3-metres-long goblin shark was caught as it swam in Tokyo Bay. It was transferred to an aquarium but later died.
Goblin sharks, Mitsukurina owstoni , are strange looking pink sharks with long pointed, dorsally flattened snouts. It is a bottom dweller living at depths of around 1,200 metres and probably feeds on small fishes and crustaceans.
The snout is thought to be an electrosensory device used to detect prey for capture. The jaws are specialised for rapid forward projection from the head on the detection of prey.
Early specimens were preserved with the jaw in the extended position leading to mis-representation in early books of its form. But it is now common knowledge that this is not how the goblin shark looks in life.
Although the goblin shark is thought to live throughout the world, very few specimens have ever been caught and only about 45 specimens have been documented.
Because of its widespread distribution, it is not classed as an endangered species, although like many other species of shark, it is often caught and killed in deep-sea fishing nets and trawlers.

Woman's settlement for 2008 search at Corpus Christi International Airport: $2,350
CORPUS CHRISTI - An Amarillo woman who sued after she said her breasts were exposed during a 2008 search at the Corpus Christi International Airport received a $2,350 settlement from the federal government.
Lynsie Paige Murley, 24, filed a lawsuit last year that alleged a Transportation Security Administration employee pulled down her blouse and exposed her breasts before a May 29, 2008, flight.
Murley's suit said she was embarrassed and subjected to intentional emotional distress after security employees joked and laughed about the incident. One male security employee told her he wished he had been there to see it and said he would have to watch the video, according to the suit.
The suit alleged the government was negligent because the security employees weren't properly trained and supervised. She originally sued both the federal government and Transportation Security Administration. The agency, which is part of the federal government, was later dropped.
The federal government reached the settlement with her in January. But details of the settlement were revealed this week because of a Freedom of Information request made by The Smoking Gun website.
The settlement isn't an admission of any liability or wrongdoing by the government employees, according to the eight-page agreement.
It also required that Murley's legal fees along with any other costs and expenses not exceed 25 percent of the settlement, which is $587.50, and that the fees be paid from the lump sum.

Ice Cooler is Your Best Friend on the Road
You're going on a road trip. Did you know your best friend for food safety is that cooler of yours, the one quietly sitting on a shelf in the garage? The same cooler taken out during cookouts or picnics also keeps your perishable foods safe while on the road.
Before you head out the door, bring that cooler to the kitchen and clean it with warm water and soap. When packing the food, make sure to fill it with PLENTY of ice or frozen gel-packs.
"You should have a separate cooler for drinks for two reasons. The cooler containing the drinks is opened often, letting in warm air. The cooler containing perishable food should not be opened often because the food needs to be stored as cold as possible to reduce the risk of bacterial growth," Food Safety Inspection Service spokesperson Maria Malagon suggested. "It is important to pack perishable foods directly from the refrigerator or freezer into the cooler."
If the food is still frozen when you pack it, it will stay cold longer. Placing an appliance thermometer in the cooler will help you be sure the food stays at a safe temperature-- 40°F or below. Also, try to keep the cooler full. A full cooler will maintain a cold temperature longer than one partially filled. Don't forget to keep raw meat and poultry wrapped separately from cooked foods or snacks meant to be eaten raw.
"If you are going on a long trip or are picnicking along the way, we recommend taking two coolers with you — one for the day's immediate food needs, such as lunch, drinks or snacks, and the other for perishable foods to be used later in the vacation," Malagon advised. "Limit the times the cooler is opened. Open and close the lid quickly.
Spending the day at the beach? Take along only the amount of food that can be eaten to avoid having leftovers. Partially bury your cooler in the sand, cover it with blankets, and shade it with a beach umbrella. On a hot day, especially when outside temperatures rise above 90°F, the ice in coolers melts faster so coolers can be less effective at keeping food safe.
If you go on a boating trip, don't let perishable food sit out while swimming or fishing. Remember, food sitting out for more than two hours, or one hour if the outside temperature is above 90 °F, must be thrown out.
For the lucky ones who caught fish, gut the fish and make sure to wrap both whole and filleted fish in water-tight plastic. Store them in a cooler. We recommend placing 3 to 4 inches of ice on the bottom of the cooler first, then alternate layers of fish and ice. Cook the fish in 1 or 2 days, or freeze it. After cooking, eat within 3 to 4 days. Make sure the raw fish stays separate from cooked foods.
Crabs, lobsters and other shellfish must be kept alive until cooked. Store them in a bushel or laundry basket under wet burlap. Crabs and lobsters are best eaten the day they are caught. Live oysters can keep seven to 10 days; mussels and clams, four to five days.
A note of caution: Be aware of the potential dangers of eating raw shellfish. Eating raw shellfish is not recommended for anyone but this is especially true for persons with liver disorders or weakened immune systems.
Camping overnight? Remember to keep your cooler in a shady spot. Keep it covered with a blanket, tarp or poncho. If the ice melts or the gel packs thaw, and perishable food becomes warmer than 40°F, discard it.
Bring along bottled water or other canned or bottled drinks. Always assume that streams and rivers are not safe for drinking. If camping in a remote area, bring along water purification tablets or equipment. These are available at camping supply stores.
Keep hands and all utensils clean when preparing food. Use disposable moist towels to clean hands. When you plan meals, think about buying and using shelf-stable food to ensure food safety.

Ben Flajnik on Sending Blakeley Shea Home: "I Knew in My Heart It Wasn't Forever"
The Bachelor felt closer to a therapy session than a dating show this week. In his People.com blog on Season 16, Episode 6, Ben Flajnik said he wishes he had hugged crying Blakeley Shea and showed more sympathy for lovelorn Casey Shteamer. He also felt like he was taking advantage of Jamie Otis during her attempt to go from 0 to 60 and hints to some frustration with Courtney Robertson's forward behavior — but since he also encouraged that same behavior it's more of a kiss on the wrist than a slap.
Read on for highlights from Ben's blog:
The highs and lows of Courtney: "It's not easy balancing relationships while trying to make everyone feel special. That's why I was drawn to Courtney during the daytime portion of the group date – she made it a point to spend time with me. I always knew how she felt and she made sure to let me know that she was thinking of me. I will admit though, I wasn't pleased when she got in the pool during my time with Jamie. I know she was just trying to let me know that she's interested, but Jamie has a tough time opening up and having Courtney out of the corner of her eye wasn't helping."
Why Blakeley over Rachel: "I knew I had to decide at that moment whether or not I saw her as my wife. I could've easily dated Blakeley for another few weeks but I knew in my heart it wasn't forever so I decided to let her go. With Rachel, it was moving a lot slower but I was still open to the idea that something amazing could develop. Seeing Blakeley break down like that was excruciating. When watching it on TV, I wished I had reached out and hugged her. I didn't prepare myself for all the goodbyes I'd have to make in this experience and I hated seeing her cry and knowing I was the cause of it."
More sympathy for Casey: "After such an intense week, and with such a difficult goodbye, I wasn't prepared for Casey S. to show up at my room. Watching it now I realize I could've been more sympathetic to her. She was clearly involved with a guy that wasn't appreciating her but all I could hear was that she was still in love with someone else. I had just sent Blakeley home, which was really hard on both of us, and I kept thinking, 'How could you let yourself be here still if you're not that into me?' I can't change the way I reacted but I do hope Casey S. finds a man that appreciates her like she deserves."
Awkward kisses: "I think after watching this season you all know that I've had my fair share of kisses. Having Jamie walk me through one was sexy in theory, but it was so awkward in the moment! I wanted to make her feel comfortable and I know she was really working hard to put herself out there, but I felt like I was taking advantage of her in some way. I knew there wasn't enough time left in this journey to get to a place with Jamie that we would need to get so I had to let her go. She is one of the sweetest, most sincere women I've met and I hope she finds a man that is ready to go from 0 to 60 with her."

By Rudi WilliamsAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Aug. 24, 2000 Frieda Mae Hardin, the nation's oldest woman veteran, died Aug. 9 at age 103 in a nursing home in Livermore, Calif.
Hardin's World War I service was broadcasted around the world in October 1997 when she spoke during dedication ceremonies for the Women in Military Service for America Memorial at the gateway to Arlington (Va.) National Cemetery.
Decked out in her World War II "yeomanette" uniform and a wide- brimmed hat inscribed with "U.S. Naval Reserve," she told an estimated crowd of more than 30,000 about her service to her country.
"In my 101 years of living, I have observed many wonderful achievements, but none as important or as meaningful as the progress of women in taking their rightful place in society," said Hardin, who was accompanied by her son, Jerald Kirsten, a retired Navy captain.
"When I served in the Navy, women were not even allowed to vote!" she exclaimed. "Now, women occupy important leadership positions not only in the military, but also in business, government, education and in almost every form of human activity."
She told the audience that her generation wasn't the first generation of women to serve the country. "But we did our part, serving with honor and distinction," said Hardin, who was born on Sept. 22, 1896, in Eden Valley, Minn. "To those women who are now in military service, I say, 'Go for it!' You are doing wonderful work and it's very much appreciated."
She addressed young women who may be thinking of a career in the military service. "You will find a world of opportunity waiting for you," she said. "I have always been very proud of my Navy service." She received three standing ovations for her 10-minute speech.
Hardin and thousands of women like her paved the way for future women to serve in the U.S. armed forces. She joined the Navy as a "yeomanette" in September 1918 and served until March 1919. More than 12,000 women served in the Navy during World War I as clerks, stenographers, telephone operators, recruiters, draftsmen and camouflage designers.
Hardin survived four husbands and is survived by a daughter and three sons. All her sons served in the military.

When your daughter is literally queen of pop music and more internationally recognizable than the President, why, oh why would have to steal from her? According to TMZ, Beyonce's father denies embezzling money from his daughter while her manager, filing legal documents to that affect following allegations from tour company Live Nation Entertainment. Mathew Knowles asserts that the company informed Beyonce that her father "had stolen money from Beyonce on her most recent tour or otherwise taken funds that [he] was not entitled to," which lead to her letting him go. Papa Knowles is claiming that the allegations are false, despite the fact that Beyonce herself ordered the audit which revealed her dad's shady dealings. As if Bey couldn't have snapped her fingers and made diamonds rain down on him if she so chose. We're 90% sure she can; she's just really down-to-earth so she hates to show off.
Beyonce fired her dad as manager in March, explaining at the time, "He is my father for life and I love my dad dearly," but declining to elaborate further. Knowles is currently seeking to depose several Live Nation employees to discover how they know he was taking funds. So…not exactly the best way to deny it, right? Couldn't he have just gone through Beyonce's purse instead? What's a few (dozen) rolls of hundos between family members?

Samsung isn't worried about an Apple iTV, even though they probably should be
At a recent trade show, Samsung product manager Chris Moseley commented on the recent rumours swirling about an Apple-made TV.
"We've not seen what they've done but what we can say is that they don't have 10,000 people in R&D in the vision category. They don't have the best scaling engine in the world and they don't have world renowned picture quality that has been awarded more than anyone else. TVs are ultimately about picture quality. Ultimately. How smart they are...great, but let's face it that's a secondary consideration. The ultimate is about picture quality and there is no way that anyone, new or old, can come along this year or next year and beat us on picture quality. So, from that perspective, it's not a great concern but it remains to be seen what they're going to come out with, if anything."
If you are fully submerged in the Samsung culture, I could understand that line of thinking, but in the grand scheme of things, it's hard to put Apple past setting a new bar for any electronics industry, regardless of how well-established it is in any particular field. Steve Jobs had admitted openly on quarterly conference calls that the Apple TV was little more than a hobby project, but what's going to happen when Apple takes TVs seriously? Are they just going to make another little puck, only have it not suck for a change? Or are they going to go all-out, producing an entire TV set?
While I certainly agree with Moseley that Apple isn't likely to oust Samsung's top spot in TV in the next two years, I would be really surprised if Apple didn't at least introduce some considerable competition in that timeframe. Competitors are offering some really smart connected home solutions, but if Apple doesn't have a real presence in the world of TVs, the Mac, iPhone, and iPad will have comparatively limited reach. I'm eager to see how Apple patches that gap in their strategy, but what about you guys? Would you pay a premium for an Apple-made TV? 50-inch Retina Display, anyone?

Samsung isn't worried about an Apple iTV, even though they probably should be
How would that get him fired? As a product manager, his job isn't to discuss what the competition might be doing...but WHY his product is great. All he did in his comments, was talk about why Samsung televisions are at the top of the pack, and how Samsung is not worried about Apple beating them on picture quality.
I agree. He is 100% right. It isn't about "smart/connected" and it isn't about gimmicks (3D). It is about picture quality. I have a 50" Samsung Plasma, and it is a great picture. And when it got the Red Snow bug/issue, the firmware update was cake.
I still have my reservations about Apple entering the TV market. That market is all about the price, and not a product people plan on replacing often. But can't wait to see what they do. I have been buying Apple products for as long as I can remember (Apple ][c is the first item I can prove and had @itools.com email ;) ) but will hold my decision until I see it.
If Apple designs their TVs as a rectangular flat screen with a black, glossy frame around it Samsung should sue them.
Puh-lease, from the original GUI lifted from Xerox PARC to the Notification center lifted from Android, Apple has always been about copying. They refine what they copy, to the point where they succeed commercially where earlier attempts failed, but they have always taken what others have done first.
"Ideas can be copied"
Tell that to Apple, who is suing for the idea of swiping to unlock, or the idea of using a rotating sensor to determine orientation.
I miss the days where Apple just admitted, like Picasso, they were shameless about stealing others ideas, and were (relatively) good citizens with the rest of the tech community.
Its true that ideas can be copied, but design, implementation, etc can't and that is the biggest part of apples suit. Design is a big part of Apple's product. For example pink panther insulation copyrighted their pink color because it identified the brand (and it was upheld in court). Design is a big part of Apple's ID.
Well, when someone designed to do something as equally foolish as Apple like making a mobile device encased in glass, then they can sue them. Unless they used Gorilla glass for the whole casing, that stuff is impressively strong.
OK once again its not the idea that is in conflict it is the DESIGN.
Here is samsung http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNO_TJ1YlIc
Here is Nokia N900: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZphmAK8Shg
Do you see how Samsung looks almost 100% like Apples Design ID? and Nokia looks nothing like either. THAT IS THE ISSUE.
Ok, my mistake, for some reason when I tried to remember which phone Apple copied the name Nokia N900 came in mind. But I looked on Google and remembered the name of the right phone. Apple copied the phone called Neonode N1m.
About the notification, I didn't see Google suing anyone because of it, only Apple likes to show how much afraid of competition they are.
Again the swipe on the Neonode N1m (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tj-KS2kfIr0)is nothing like iphones in design or appearance (which again is the ID that they are protecting) it is only the same concept or idea which is not copyrightable.
If I were Samsung I would definitely be looking out for this. Even though I encourage competition, believe that it is good for economical reasons and people should have options. Not only have one option to choose from. As an Apple fan I think when this much anticipated TV comes out it is definitely going to revolutionize the TV industry and the way people use their TV's.
When it comes out, does Samsung get to sue Apple for making a TV with a rectangular glass form factor???
These companies will sue each other for what ever reasons they can possible think of. It is just one more battle they play with each other to see how can take the most. Apple has more leverage money wise, however they don't want to be in court every month. It is all part of the business.
I sincerely hope that Apple sticks with a cheap STB. In fact, they'll have to to stick with an STB if they really want their iOS on TV to go mainstream -- after all, it's not like everyone has $1000+ sitting around for a new TV. Most households in the U.S. already have at least one flatscreen HDTV, so why on earth would everyone suddenly run out for an entirely new TV? Especially one that is more expensive than any of the competition?!
Seriously, the only thing Apple should do is finally make the ATV a worthwhile fullHD device (high bitrate 1080p with HD audio damnit!), and then they need to encourage developers to put some real effort into the ATV app store options.
An actual "iTV"? That's just iStupid...
Agree. And besides, who's really anticipating a tv set from Apple? That thread in the forums was about dead. It's like the bloggers are trying to hype this into something it isn't.
The ATV though is a different story. Anyone i've shown airplay to has been amazed. A tv screen by Apple (supplied from a competitor..lol) would make no difference here.
Retina display TVs make no sense, since broadcast is at 1080i at best, and bluray is at 1080p. There is just no content at that resolution, nor bandwidth for it.
Furthermore a "retina" 50 inch TV would need a resolution of 13074x7353, much higher that 4K or 8K which are just coming on the horizon right now. Let's remember for a second that Apple does not make displays, they buy them from Sharp, LG, Toshiba or Samsung, so one of them would have to be making these displays.
Samsung has a good point actually, and not to be dismissed lightly, that is why Apple does not makes hard drives, screens etc. because it has no expertise in these areas. I remain very sceptical about an Apple TV set, which, I think, makes no sense at all. Anything that Apple wants to do on a TV can be done with a upgrade of the current Apple TV format.
If Apple balked at the profit margin of hard drives, they will run screaming from TVs, which have razor thin margins except at the every high end (65"+).
Obviously, Apple could establish a larger profit margin if they truly develop something of unique value so that they could charge more than competitors, but that would be a difficult sell to customers. It seems unlikely they could persuade many people unless they managed to control the entire environment from end-to-end, which implies either an unprecedented deal with the Comcasts of the world of a setup that completely bypasses them. I hope they try, because they could flame out horribly, or shake up an industry. Either would be fun to watch, and discuss.
Well...he does have a point though.
People aren't buying TVs because of the smart capabilities (take a look at the percentage of Smart TVs being bought right now).
They're buying TVs that have great image quality and are affordable.
These are two things that Apple does not do. They dont make screens and they don't really do "affordable".
I will say this...if they do come out, they'll probably do what they do in every market. Not have the top marketshare, but they'll have top profit share because of the margins. The premium market will eat it up of course.
So Samsung is right and wrong. This "iTV" won't be putting anyone out of business any time soon or later.
I'm reading the comments and blog post about this and I'm afraid...I'm afraid that people will be dissapointed. Why? Because the more speculation the more expectation for something big and then we get.........."the new iPhone 4s,,,,"uhhh that kinda looks like the older iPhone...dang it do much for iPhone 5 and big scree and all that stuff...". You get what I mean. So many people pist in te beginning when Apple showed off iPhone 4s all people could be positive about was Siri,...but there was more posts about how their wasn't an "iPhone 5" with big screen and everything, than Siri and her usability. I'm afraid that's what's gonna happen when we get an Apple TV that doesn't do Siri, or anything special and make people go, "Really?...that's it....oh, hi Samsung, Sony, etc."... Just sayin... :D
One thing..who says the Apple TV sucks? I love my ATV2! Even before I jailbroke it it been one of the best purchases I made for that price ever. For $99 you get a Netflix streaming box, Youtube, Apple rentals/purchases and your entire Itunes Library of movies and music ready to stream.
Jailbreaking it only sweetened the deal as there is a TON of stuff I can do now that I couldn't before but even stock out of the box the ATV2 is awesome.
Apple doesn't need 10,000 people in R&D, Apple has Jony Ive and the best engineers in the world. Sammy sounds scared.
Re: "Competitors are offering some really smart connected home solutions..."
But none of them are dominant. Samsung, Sony, LG, ad nauseam, have all rolled out connected TVs. They all have their own little feature tweaks, they run apps, and they're all 100% predictable. They are the inevitable result of looking just a few months forward and many years backward.
Apple won't enter the big-screen space until they're sure they can make a huge impression. They're like Porsche at Le Mans in the '70s and '80s. They didn't even bother to enter the race unless they knew they could win it.
Apple has likely already done the groundwork for their entry into the TV world. They can leverage iOS, Apple TV hardware, Siri, their North Carolina data center, and iCloud. And we can't forget iAd. We're convinced that iAd was intended for HDTV from day 1.
Oh, and Samsung probably is deathly afraid of Apple entering the TV space. They're just trying to put a spin on all the Apple rumors. Sharp and Apple are working hard on IGZO displays, with better picture quality and lower cost. And they're also investigating next-generation OLED processes for higher yield and better picture quality. And they've patented those processes. Good luck Samsung. You'll need it.
I hear you on what Apple can bring to the tv such as icloud, iOS, etc. Thing is, i don't WANT that crap built into my tv. All i care about is screen quality. Just like i don't care about speakers. I use a sound system on the main one. The others, I don't care how they sound so long as you can hear it.
If i want to bring apple and its ecosystem to my tv, then i'll use an ATV. This is where the market is. And i'd be happy to buy something from Apple to replace my Harmony One remotes...hint hint.
Who's gonna pay for that, Bill Gates?
I guess this guy is thinking that Apple will do what Bose did - source a screen from Samsung and build something around it (with Bose it was audio).
Thinking that Apple would behave similarly would be a mistake. While Bose would be satisfied to affix a $5K price tag to a TV and sell into a niche market Apple will certainly not do that. They'll find a way to leverage their whole set of offerings into it and make it pay handsomely over the lifetime of the product. Plus, Apple has an awful lot of cash sitting in their bank accounts. They could subsidize the cost of the hardware with some sort of time-based subscription on the back end that can be used on any iOS product.
Andy Grove said that only the paranoid survive. I don't think that Samsung would be ready for any sudden shift in business model given their talk.
Until the next jump to OLED or IGZO the playing field has leveled off. My understanding of the market sales shows that 3D has not mattered to consumers and the only differentiation, other than the "budget buys", is quickly becoming the "smart" end of the TV. Therefore, other than large spec jumps (OLED etc) the field is level much like it was when iphone arrived.
This can be done, and done right, and if so will be bought-big. Will they? I don't know. But there is a market position available, and Apple has the tools to exploit it.
ios, siri, dvr, itunes environment, icloud, iad, on-line viewing (apple, hulu, netflix, now amazon), home controls from ipads, etc. They need to lock up this gap in the ecosystem somehow.
"We've learned and struggled for a few years here figuring out how to make a decent phone. PC guys are not going to just figure this out. They're not going to just walk in." - Ed Colligan 2006
"We've not seen what they've done but what we can say is that they don't have 10,000 people in R&D in the vision category. They don't have the best scaling engine in the world and they don't have world renowned picture quality that has been awarded more than anyone else." - Chris Moseley 2012
Be careful there, Mr. Moseley. Anything is possible. Don't assume you've won simply because you're winning. Same goes for all companies (Apple included).
Of course, companies like Palm come to mind, or other phone manufacturers.
That said, I really don't think Apple entering the TV business is that great of an idea. I'd rather see them stick with making things like Apple TV (a separate box) more powerful.
For example, when I bought my last LCD (my first one, which I still have) a number of years ago, I picked the size, screen quality, and what I could afford. It isn't even a TV, just a LCD display. I do everything externally. I know that isn't the norm these days, but what I want isn't features (I'll get those externally) but the screen specs I want at a price I want. Unless Apple is going to also compete on cost, I don't see this as a huge market for them.
Now, on the other hand, make a killer Apple TV type product that does things like record, and makes it all simple, etc. That would be a killer product. Tons of people would buy it. Add the screen, and the market severely drops off.
This would be one of Apples new ventures. I personally, doubt they are going into the television business myself, (much likeI doubted them going into the cell phone business and look how that turned out). One of the things Apple has to their advantages is how much other take them for granted. This serves Apple to their benefit and allows them to work with more secrecy and drive to create a product that turns heads. (remember the MotoRkr) Apple could work on televisions if they wanted too assuming that most of their desktop computers are close in size to what a legit television (20" inches) is. So I wouldn't discredit.
Samsung is getting really cocky towards Apple, which means that they are full on throwing down the competition and I applaud them for the effort. But remember that too much cockiness will get you in the end. And Apple is NOTORIOUS for discrediting and making a fool to whatever company gawks at them.
Lots of Cell phone providers said the same for the iPhone. An ENTIRE INDUSTRY scoffed and wanted to control the digital Music Market. Same thing with the iPad dominance. Now those industries bend over backwards for Apple to give way, or you join them.
Since it seems Apple is shifting towards also becoming a media provider, a Television set would be the ultimate product that will for once, unify the things we airstream and download into our ipods, computers, itunes, iPads. with a device that will really be a one and all unit. Look at the steps Apple has taken and you can see the products they have released that can make this into a sick television set. Apple is known for putting big power in small devices so lets see how this television would be like using previous released tech that the company has released.
HD Retina Display: sure might be pricey but considering top line Televisions are still around 2-5 grand, then this is still a viable option.
AppleTV: Put the function of the device and you finally have no need for that little box anymore and you can get all of the features you would find on NEXFLIX,iTUNES and your photos.
CHANNEL SUBSCRIPTIONS: This is a good one. Look at how apple has worked with magazines to sell you their issues. bring this concept to your television and you now have, finally an ala carte channel option that would allow you to download, let's say an HBO CHANNEL App that will allow you, for a monthly fee to see the programming. we will see others do the same and before you know it you will no longer be paying for that 800 channel price when you only really like to watch 5 or 6 channels. You will now be able to subscribe to your channels and watch them for a low fee. REVOLUTIONARY? maybe. Apple is the one to do it. They already to it in itunes almost.
The power of its ipod Hi-Fi: I own a set of these speakers and holy hell they still rock. Mounting a set in this television would be the sickest sounding STOCK speakers you would need. Perfect for watching movies and listening to your music.
Already with just those specs, you have an impressive and viable television that can shake the legs off of any other company. Size of television is not going to impress us for much longer unless its a drastically huge screen we cant even really fit in our house. But the quality of the television builds are where it's out. So what? I don't care if the motion graphics drive is quad core or dual core? but can I get the best image for what I paid for? we also buy televisions based on its look when its turned off as well. I would NOT buy a television that looks horrid off, but if it was elegant I would be proud to put it in my living room instead of stashing it in my bedroom.
samsung. I would be somewhat scared if not curious.
If apple comes out with a TV with a killer user interface AND content availability that allows one to cut the cord with the cable company's I can see investing in the device.
If I could cut the cord with Uverse in my house and purchase high speed Internet and use Internet provided services only I estimate I could cut my monthly costs by $175.00
I think what Cook was saying is that they've not reached the mainstream with the ATV like they have with other things like the iphone.
What's he say? Pull a string here, tug at it there. But perhaps that's why. Quit tugging Apple and focus? All the pieces are lying there waiting to be put together. You can do better than the few cheesy apps other than netflix. That button remote is a joke.
But i think we all know it could be better and Apple could easily improve it. Obviously, Apple doesn't want too many options from itunes content at this time. Perhaps they're waiting to string together some kind of itunes subscription. Microsoft for example requires a gold membership for some apps. I'm sure Apple wants something similar.
Selling screens isn't going to lead to iphone like marketshare either.
It's really a cool and useful piece of information. I'm happy that you just shared this helpful information with us. Please stay us up to date like this. Thanks for sharing.
I've read some good stuff here. Definitely value bookmarking for revisiting. I surprise how so much attempt you place to make this type of great informative web site.

Spring sports drama heating up
A Brunswick High girls' tennis standout was two wins from a repeat individual championship at press time and that was just the tip of the iceberg on spring sports excitement.
As May gives way to June, every sport will be involved in its postseason.
Here's a glimpse:
Brunswick's Maisie Silverman, last year's champion, handled three foes last weekend to reach the "final four" of the girls' tennis singles tournament. Saturday, Silverman was a 6-0, 6-0 winner over Mt. Desert Island's Madeline Cook. Monday, Silverman downed Portland's Sophie Hulbert (6-0, 6-0) and No. 8 Shashanna Moll of Belfast (6-2, 6-0) to advance. Wednesday morning, Silverman met No. 5 Julia Brogan of Falmouth. If victorious, Silverman would have faced either No. 2 Olivia Leavitt of Falmouth or No. 6 Libby Voccola of Falmouth in the final.
Silverman's teammate Ali Stankiewicz also made the round of 16, but was defeated there, 2-6, 0-6, by No. 3 Colleen O'Donnell of Waterville.
On the boys' side, Morse's Sam Leeman beat Waynflete's Ben Shapiro, 6-1, 6-1, to reach the quarterfinals, but his run ended there with a 3-6, 2-6 setback to No. 4 Matt Gilman of Cape Elizabeth.
The team tournament is underway.
The Brunswick boys went 12-0 and earned the top seed in Eastern Class A. The Dragons hosted No. 8 Skowhegan (4-8) in the quarterfinals Thursday.
Mt. Ararat missed the playoffs with a 2-10 record.
In Western B, Morse was the ninth and final team to qualify with a 2-10 record. The Shipbuilders played a preliminary round match at No. 8 York (6-6) Tuesday. If Morse sprung the upset, it would have gone to No. 1 Lincoln Academy (12-0) for the quarterfinals Thursday.

After a two-day delay caused by poor weather, the Kennebec Valley Athletic Conference held its outdoor track and field championship meet Monday in Bath.
In the Class A boys' meet, won by Edward Little, Brunswick came in fourth and Mt. Ararat was sixth. The Dragons got wins from Alex Nichols in the 100 (11.35 seconds), 200 (22.91) and the 400 (50.58) and their 1,600 relay team (3 minutes, 32.58 seconds).

The baseball season was wrapping up at press time. Morse was the lone shoo-in for the playoffs as the Shipbuilders were 11-3 and third behind Greely and defending state champion Falmouth in the Western Class A Heals. Morse beat visiting Belfast, 11-1, last Wednesday, hosted Nokomis Tuesday and needed to make up a game at Camden Hills.
In Eastern A, Brunswick clung to the ninth and final playoff spot with a 4-11 record entering Wednesday's finale at Mt. Ararat. The Dragons lost, 4-1, at Lewiston in their most recent action last week.
Mt. Ararat was 11th, but still alive at 3-11. The Eagles lost, 12-1, at Cony last Thursday. After going to Mt. Blue Tuesday, Mt. Ararat closed at home versus Brunswick Wednesday.
Mt. Ararat's softball team was 10th in Eastern A (nine teams make the playoffs) with a 4-10 record at press time. The Eagles were coming off a 4-0 loss at defending state champion Cony. They were at Mt. Blue Tuesday and finished up with a home game versus Brunswick Wednesday.
The Dragons were 14th at 0-15 entering that finale. Last week, Brunswick lost, 15-3, at Lewiston.
In Western B, Morse was 2-12 and 17th (only 12 teams make the cut) after a 2-1 home loss to Belfast last week. The Shipbuilders were home with Nokomis Tuesday and also needed to make up a game versus Camden Hills.
Boys' lacrosse
Brunswick's boys' lacrosse team appears to have the top spot locked up in Eastern A. The Dragons improved to 10-1 with a 10-6 home win over Mt. Ararat last week. They closed at St. Dom's Tuesday.
The Eagles were fourth at 8-3 entering their finale at home versus Lewiston Wednesday. Mt. Ararat lost, 10-6, at Brunswick, then handled visiting Oxford Hills, 16-0, last week.
In Eastern B, Morse was in the No. 5 spot at 8-3 after wins at Camden Hills (9-6) and Cony (7-4) last week. The Shipbuilders closed at home versus Lincoln Academy Wednesday.

I would love it!
This Christmas, don't give ugly ties that will collect dust in a closet or toys that will break or become boring and then add to a landfill. Instead, give the money you would spend on gifts to people
who really need it. If you don't personally know know anybody in need, then give to total strangers.
Trust me, you'll feel better about Yourself and Christmas if you do.
Christmas is for all, for poor and rich for small and big.
Let all People on the wolrd feel the same on Christmas.
I have tried many in the past
Glad I found you at last
Have something to show
Jimdo is the way to go
Have something to sell
Go on the web and yell
Any site will do
But the best is Jimdo
They make work into fun
Easy for anyone under the sun
We've been together for a year
I hope the end is never here.
Thank You!
Christmas is a time for giving. Thank you for giving me something to look at each day during this season to see the creative items that the talented people of the world are selling on the www using Jimdo sites.
This year Christmas means so much more to me then it has ever. I have had everything taken from me. I live in Joplin Missouri, which had an E-F 5 tornado rip through the town on may 22nd this year.. It took out 75% of Joplin. Thousands of homes and thousands of businesses were taken down and we are still rebuilding. I lost friends, family, my home, and my office for my business. So this Christmas I am grateful for all I have. I am grateful to be here in this world to share my happiness and my life. I have volenteered my time to families and have donated what i could to help families out this year. I am just happy to be able to spend this christmas with the friends and family I love. Even though some of them arnt here anymore, I can still rejoice in their name.Merry Christmas to all. And Happy New Year!! And those gifts above are beautiful!!!
I hate and I love.
How much I hunger
For the days when I was younger,
for the days when I was really free,
for the days when I was a real me.
And what is happening now?
Has the world turned upside down?
I do not say any more "Wow!"
Nothing surprises me.
I can only realize
this horrible situation
with discomfort and even frustration.
Am I on another stage?
Is it connected with my age?
I don't think so.
I can see today the youth
who can't find the truth.
Isn't it strange that
having two higher educations
I am on the edge of starvation?
Isn't it strange that
having worked all my life
I have to think how to survive?
No one cares about my life,
no one worries if I should live or die.
I hate those unfair rules
which were proclaimed for the fools.
I love my motherland,
but the life here I can't withstand.
I forgot the word "hurray".
That was another day.
My future is unpredictable as weather.
I am like a feather
don't know where to fly.
It seems all is a lie.
I don't know where this time the wind will blow.
Where is my spirits flow?
I don't know how to live,
I don't know whom to believe.
The world has greatly changed.
For someone it's not strange.
It's only strange that I am still alive
but have to think how to survive.
Who will tell me what to do?
Should I be true with those who cheat,
with those who treat
me and others as a toy?
They are very much annoyed
to listen to the truth,
but they are not confused
to rob, to demand,
to occupy my motherland.
They even use God's name
as a cover for their crimes.
They do not hear the church bells chimes,
they only hear their own voice,
leaving the majority with no choice.
My voice is crying in the wildness.
Forgetting about gladness
I have to know sadness,
to learn the rules of a new dirty game.
Isn't it the biggest shame?
I have no more strength to fight
but only to wait for the light
at the end of that tunnel,
in other words: for my funeral.
Where is the way out?
I have no more strength to shout.
It looks as there is only one way out:
To pray, to calm my soul for another stay.
Larisa Rzhepishevska
This christmas means alot to me and to my family, actually every christmas does but i think this christmas is going to be the best christmas yet because i used to live in horrible apartment and now we finally got a new and wonderful home every year we bake homemade gingerbread house and then we drink hot choccolate. I lovvveeeee Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this year hopefully will be the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Although I have friends of all Races & Nationalities, I would appreciate seeing a Santa Claus of another race. Can't we get pass everyone being white ? Choose a Oriental, African, these are no longer minorities.
" I do not wait for anything. I am free "
(John - Frederick)
Happy Christmas Everyone...
Christmas is a time for love and fun,
A time to reshape souls and roots and skies,
A time to give your heart to everyone
Freely, like a rich and lavish sun,
Like a burning star to those whose lonely sighs
Show need of such a time for love and fun.
For children first, whose pain is never done,
Whose bright white fire of anguish never dies,
It's time to give your heart to every one,
That not one angel fall, to hatred won
For lack of ears to listen to her cries,
Or arms to carry him towards love and fun,
Or friends to care what happens on the run
To adult life, where joy or sadness lies.
It's time to give your heart to everyone,
For God loves all, and turns His back on none,
Good or twisted, ignorant or wise.
Christmas is a time for love and fun,
A time to give your heart to everyone.
I Like it.........................
this Christmas, don't give ugly ties that will collect dust in a closet or toys that will break or become boring and then add to a landfill. Instead, give the money you would spend on gifts to people who really need it. If you don't personally know know anybody in need, then give to total strangers.
Mery Xmas 2011!

I would like to try out the Vietnam Coffee.

WOW, nice ambiance! Curious for the Vietnamese coffee, must try!!!
SimpleGirl´s last blog post..Fruits Rojak – Canning Garden
Ooh looks like they're going to give Mr Pot a run for their money! The more competition the better!
550ml jar of faith´s last blog post..Happy Hakkas at Ying Ker Lou, The Curve
Sounds like or could be mistaken for an outlet of Island Red Cafe at Krystal Point.
Island Red Cafe recently opened its 2nd Penang Outlet at Raja Uda, Butterworth on 16 Dec 2008; a stone throw away and in juxtaposition to Petronas, if one comes from Mak Mandin direction.
I wanted to drop by there after the Sunset Bistro outing but the place wasn't open for business yet. The place should be great for little parties
Criz Lai´s last blog post..PULAU AMAN FLOATING RESTAURANT
550ml jar of faith – More competition will benefit us…good.
Penang Tionghua – I saw it when I was around that area last Sunday. They were unpacking the furniture. Thanks for sharing the info.
Criz Lai – It was just open recently and already filled with customers…and very good idea having small gathering there too
OMG …. must stop by there for a cup of my fav Vietnam ice coffee ….. It is just like what I had in Ho Chi Minh city …. but cheaper
email2me´s last blog post..The Evolution Of Food POI's Food Photography
I saw Coffee Island last week. In fact, my hubby want to try it out today but end up we went to other places. lol Will definitely drop by one day for the coffee and mocha.
FoOd PaRaDiSe´s last blog post..AH'BASRI Detoxified Satay
The 3rd Island Red Cafe Outlet is rushing for time to open for Christmas. Location is behind Jusco Aeon at Bandar Perda De' Rendezvous – Jalan Perda Selatan, Bukit Mertajam
A nice and clean modern coffee shop! Ideal place for hang out.
lk´s last blog post..Millet porridge
wah… the coffee looks nice. Not sure about the aroma of the coffee until smell that. However, from the pic it seems like the ambience is very nice and cozy. Is a must to try out. Will go during this Christmas
StevenGoh.com´s last blog post..Oversea Famous Curry Fish Cake @ Mummy Fang Otak
Hmm another competitor to Mr. Pots along Gurney Drive. Mr Pots certainly showed the potential of establishing a chilling area in Gurney and I guess Coffee Island is doing it in a bigger scale now!
Great review though…I'm sure Coffee Island owner will be well informed. I'll go tell him on behalf of you…hehe he's my friend's relative LOL
desmond-t´s last blog post..Restaurant Kolam Ikan, Mahang, Kulim
Email2me – Didn't know that you like to drink Vietnam ice coffee too.
Food Paradise – Looks like you are on a makan spree too…your blog has lots of nice food.
Penang Tionghua – Wow…another outlet, more convenient for the people.
lk – You can still chill out in this place before your journey back home.
Steven Goh – Maybe I can get to see you around there…haha
Desmond-t – In that case, can you let the owner know that he has the place very well done up.
Wah, you are so fast. They just only opened and you've tried them out!
Foong´s last blog post..Japanese Sukiyaki Soup
CK this one open by Yean uncle! Yes the respond was very very good indeed. Hope u hv a good time over there
hi ck lam..
i'm glad that you posted on this place.
i got to agree with u that the food is not bad, and most importantly, the price is reasonable.
I was there just now, but i was given poor/bad service.
If you know the owner, kindly feedback to him that his school-leavers staff were not doing their job well.
meimeizoe´s last blog post..Coffee Island, Gurney Penang
Good…another nice cafe along Gurney Drive. Wonder if its open 24hrs like Mr.Pot.
Sweet Jasmine´s last blog post..No Tang Yeun For Me This Year……
Foong – Saw this place on the way back home from a shopping trip and drop in for a snack.
Tan – That's good. Maybe Yean can help tell her uncle about its slow service to the customers. It is indeed a great place in a good location.
Meimeizoe – Hope the owner will look into the customer complains and improve from there.
Sweet Jasmine – Oops… forgot about that point…will update it soon
In fact CK we also find the service really sucks! Especially when you want to pay! My god! Next time maybe you can park yr car behind there is a small road but a bit dark.
the Vietnam coffee looks interesting.
New Kid On The Blog´s last blog post..Nippon Yataimura
Everything looks nice
Nice place.. nice coffee.. nice food…
Selba´s last blog post..Jajanan Pasar Singkong
aiks….. so many ppl commetn about this place aldy….
hmmm.. seems like we are far left behind… it is time to catch up on new and happening places to hang out.
PenangTuaPui´s last blog post..Penang Restaurant | Star View New Word Park – Fei Fei Farewell Lunch
Wow CK, you are fast! Seems like a nice place for chit chatting ;> The price looks reasonable too for the Gurney area.
Tan – Its new and the place is quite big…give them some time to train their workers and improve their service…then it should be perfect.
New Kid on the Blog – Do try it out, plus the many other colourful and attractive drinks.
Selba – This type of kopitiam is an in-thing in Penang lately and this is one huge one located in the tourist area.
Big Boys Oven – It is a different camera but unfortunately not the one that I am aiming to buy.
Penangtuapaui – Call the rest and we can have our chit chat in this place too
Ryan 83 – The prices are quite the same as other kopitiam in town and you get to enjoy the sea breeze too.
lovely coffee….looks like a good place to relax and unwind. Yea when gather to chit chat, tell me
Nice place and nice food presentation. Jade rolls look good!
peteformation´s last blog post..Chinese Winter Solstice Festival (Tang Chek, Dong Zhi) – Making Tang Yuan (Glutinous Rice Balls) From Produce (Dragon Fruit, Sweet potato, screwpine)
I think I know where it is…Previously it was a coffee shop izzit? Anyway, it looks like a nice place to hangout with friends and at least has more parking space compare to Jemput Tree.
Jian´s last blog post..RM2 Affair
I have been to this place and its environment is very nice and relaxing… nice place for gathering and hanging out when you got nothing to do… hehe…
Went there yesterday.
Took curry mee, char mee suah, iced mocha and Vietnamese coffee. Big prawns. Good!
ooooh yes… the new place. It's true Mr Pot faced competition which is good. This helps to improve the quality and more choice for Penangites. My sister went there on the 3rd day of their opening. They have 2 areas…air-cond and hot-cond Air-cond is Non-Smoking but since it was afternoon, my sister said there's not much smokers LOL and she chose the seats just outside the air-cond lounge – just behind the mushroom sprinkler. It's very breezy and she like their large foldable umbrellas. She's thinking of something like that for her balcony… One thing am not sure is the parking lot besides the Coffee Island which supposed belong to the same property. Will they charge later on?
The Vietnamese Coffee is good but my sister preferred the Com Viet version where you can adjust the condensed milk and pour the hot water by yourself. Coffee Island mixed both the condensed milk and they poured the hot water into the percolateur before they served. They do provided a small teapot of hot water though. Either way, you can inform them not to make it too sweet. Even though the food portions may be small but I think it's ok. Prices are reasonable. Just that I have to wait longer before I can see the place
CK, wishing you and family Happy Holidays and Happy New Year. May 2009 bring the best of the best to you and more new eateries review from you… I personally want to thank you for all the troubles discovering new places where I have never been (especially in mainland) before. Now, I can show my friends locally and abroad that Penang is not a boring after all
"Joyeux Noël et Bonne Année 2009″
pixen´s last blog post..Curry Chicken in Kaffir Lime Leaves
Pixen – Parking vehicles in the lots beside Coffee Island is free for now…hope they will keep it that way.
You can't get to taste the Vietnamese coffee at Com Viet as they have already closed down recently but you can always drop by this chilling outlet to try their version when you are back in town.
Hope you have a wonderful holiday and a great New Year 2009.
Dang…why this place closed down when I'm not in Malaysia??? I hope they move somewhere else I will check with my sister. Thank you for the info. I got a set of antique percolateur at home that I can use. Only thing different will be the Sweetened Condensed Milk as the ones we had in Malaysia were added with Palm Oil I think to reduce the price. Before they added vegetable or palm oil, the price of Milkmaid (large tin) was RM 2.10. If they maintained the recipe… the price will shoot up to RM 3.50/tin or more. In Europe I still can find 'real' Sweetened Condensed Milk and buy Vietnamese coffee from the Vietnamese Minimart I frequent to. Am thinking of making my own Sweetened Condensed Milk
pixen´s last blog post..Curry Chicken in Kaffir Lime Leaves

Thank you so much CK Lam and I want to let you know you did a very good job in your blog, will drop by often to search for good foods and tell my friends about your blog, Happy Chinese New Year to you and your family.
Tried out the Ice Vietnam Coffee, love it! Mocha is my next, would like to recommend Breaded Calamari Ring too, my husband made second order in a minute were the 1st plate served! LoL…
Previously it was a bungolow deep inside with a garden at the front. The owner of Bali Hai Seafood Restaurant in Gurney Drive owns Coffee Island.
so many people, feel like kopitiam… service also vary bad. we ordered a bucket of beer, and have to ask the waiters bring us glasses. Only the third time the waiter bring us glasses. My friend almost wanted to scold them…
Hi CK Lam, if not mistaken…I think that time you went to this Coffee Island with your husband??
You both seated near to the small water pool there right? I still remember the person took some pictures on the Vietnamese coffee…and the person just looks like you!
Correct me if I'm wrong…
To galaxy:
Recently their service did improved!
As last time I been there & ordered a drinks spends almost 15-20mints only it served to me…but now different already! Their service crew did a lotz of improvement!
Just try to visit again….will find the differences!
Hi CK Lam, I personally feel that the food is kinda pricey.. fried pineapple rice RM7.90.. hokkien mee and hor fun prices are in those range too! I guess this place is good to get-together with friends and chit chat as they served interesting drinks
Sammy -Wow…Bali Hai sure makes it big in Gurney Drive.
Galaxy – Give them another chance to improve. Try again.
P.S. Another reader, Mandy did see improvements on her lately visits.
Mandy – On my first visit, I did sat near the small pool…if the day and timing is right, that should be me but then again many ppl do take photos of their food too…haha
Bris77 – It is indeed a lovely place to meet up with friends…be it with food or just over a choice of hot and cold drinks. Do come by for a hello should you see me there!
Vietnamese Coffee looks interesting, never thought that it will serve in this way.

is very good test cooffee,
plese try it…..
the food there is not tasty, expecially the lam mee… i also try the hazelnut ice chocolate n caramel ice chocolate wah it taste sour, totally no chocolate taste. only the enviroment attrack people only….
I went there on Feb 2009, the food n service very bad actually. I ask the person in charge & comment about the food, the pic said they having too many food and can't remember which is which! As a restaurant pic should know very familiar what dishes they are having, but he is not. The enviroment is nice, me & my friend won't visit there anymore.
Since talk about coffee Island, I went there last night and this is what happened on me during the nite time near bar service very bad. Cashier no manners like un-educated. Manager don't know how to manage thing. Not even know how to explain what I asked, after I paid they double charge ask me pay again..coffee very bad…every day deferrent taste..last 2day i went c.islao w my friend gng we order same coffee but defferent taste..not standard as starbuck. The worst is the service freaking sucks.Want to find 1 waiter to order also difficult. Is this so call best of Penang Food?
Richard: Ya you are right. It also happened to me last few day. Food and drink not yet arrived they already take the bill ask me to pay. Beside while order the drinks somemore take so long to get me a drink. The come out with a drink inside got a bee. I ask the manager come over. The manager face like suck and talking very rude. the waiter and the waitress also the peopl over the bar. All the service very bad. For me I wont think that i am going to go there again. I pay for enjoying. But I pay to get such service and the people rude to me. TOTALLY NOT WORTH to go there anymore. This is call the WORTH PENANG FOOD.
Hi this is the first time I came across your blog and u have reviews of some amazing places in Penang! I'll definitely try some of the places you recommended very soon.
Btw Coffee Island also serves roti jala which is quite rare to find nowadays. I thought it was nice though the portion is very small for the price (it was around rm10 and there were only 3 pieces of jala).
Stumbled upon this place looking for a decent non-mamak joint on a Saturday night @ 1am. The soup hor fun was quite refined in texture & didnt taste MSG-laden. Absolute disappointment was the 'steamed bread with kaya' – barely warm cheap white bread served with fluorescent green sludge that tasted rancid to the extent of sour. I complained but none of the staff spoke English until someone higher up told me 'oh it's just bad coconut oil. can eat'. I wont be back period!
Ice Vietnam Coffee! Love to try. Must go Coffee Island. Thanks for sharing….
