Apple rumored to be in talks to acquire high end HDTV manufacturer Loewe [Updated: Nope]
Update: Loewe has officially denied this report, telling Heise Online that there's "nothing to it." [Heise via TNW]
Apple is rumored to be in talks to acquire high end German HDTV manufacturer Loewe. The news comes from an anonymous source who claims that Apple has offered 87.3 million euros (around $112 million dollars).
A source claims that Loewe "has been advised by its financial advisor to accept the offer and a final decision is scheduled to be announced internally before 18 May 2012."
Loewe was established in 1929 and now employs around 1000 workers across fifty different countries. Its high end minimalistic HDTV sets would certainly blend in with Apple's own product philosophies. This acquisition could well be a great match for Apple's often rumored HDTV set.
As well as HDTV sets, Loewe also manufacturers high end AirSpeakers that work with Apple's AirPlay technology as well as various audio systems with iPod integration. Loewe has also embraced the iPad and has released its own app that makes controlling its Audio/Video products a breeze.
We will keep a close eye on this story and let you know as soon as we hear any more information.

Apple rumored to be in talks to acquire high end HDTV manufacturer Loewe [Updated: Nope]
More than the price of any TV on the market currently. Apple currently has the most expensive phone, tablet laptops, next is TV if they continue with that pattern. Personally I think all their products except for the Apple TV are overpriced, but then again you're also paying for the brand as well, and I don't think there will be a huge demand for an Apple TV set when you can already hook up an Apple TV to your current HDTV unless there are special features only on the TV set.
Imagine a retina display TV. Ya, currently no TV has such an option. This is why the bigger the TV the further away you need to be sitting in order to get the proper picture quality out of the device. If Apple could (and they most likely will to set themselves apart) come up with a large panel retina TV, they'll corner the market because the TV can be put in any kind of orientation and any size area for everyone's rooms. You could in theory buy a 50" retina iPanel and sit 3 feet away and pretend you have an iMax (pun intended) theater. ;)
The current Apple TV and a standalone Apple television set might be able to co-exist. The Apple TV box could offer what it does now, connected to your existing set. The Apple television would of course have the Apple TV circuit board built-in and maybe a microphone for Siri and an iSight camera for gesture recognition, FaceTime calls, and maybe even for recognizing individual users.
All things being equal, Id definitely prefer the standalone device. When I spend a few thousand on a good HDTV, I expect it to last multiple years. However, the bells and whistles - the software, services, and network and decoding capabilities progress much faster. A standalone let's me drop a large amount on a good screen, while still letting me upgrade features as my technolust demands. Unless Apple goes for something like Cotton Candy's USB stick - perhaps with an Apple TV like component "docked" inside and integrated with but upgradable separately from the screen, it is hard to imagine this appealing to people like me.
The thing is that all Apple's products are hugely overpriced, not to mention their ethics when it comes to devices having a life of no more than 2 years before they stop offering updates for them, all this leads me to the conclusion (as if I wasn't already at this point) that I for one won't buy any tv made by them, especially considering it will be very expensive because in 2 years you'll be left with an outdated tv, thanks to the rate at which technology is advancing and you'll have spent potentially thousands for that pleasure !!! ... Apple may make nice looking devices but they are greedy and controlling, just look at how many optons people get to customise an iDevice, Apple let me change my wallpaper, wow, I should be so grateful for that shouldn't I !!!
LOL @ "...all Apple's products are hugely overpriced..."
Still living in the 1990s there buddy? Still rockin' out to Milli Vanilli?
Go ask Acer, Lenovo, Dell, etc. how overpriced the MacBook Air is. Go ask Microsoft's (former) tablet hardware partners how overpriced the iPad is. Listen very carefully to what they tell you.
Then think about Apple's IGZO LCD and advanced OLED production technology partnership with Sharp. (Hint: higher quality, lower energy consumption, lower production cost.) And their dominant position as the world's #1 consumer of flash memory. (Hint: biggest purchaser -> best component deals.) And their in-house custom ARM designs. (Hint: no off-the-shelf Intel chip costs.)
The '90s are over. Apple's products are competitively priced, and they'll stay that way.
@missingno what's to say they will stop making a standalone box alongside a full fledged tv set?
Smart initial move, they definitely keep the Loewe customer base and get some Apple fans to buy em (you know, those who just want to see the apple logo on everything).
Actually pretty much every source I've read says around $175 in parts to build the iPhone, and that doesn't take into account labor, R&D, marketing, and paying employees in service centers, data centers, Apple stores, etc. I've never read $60, the processor alone costs close to that much.
Check out this site too, more frequently updated with dates, trailers and reviews – http://r5release.blogspot.co.uk/
Loewe are high end products. In just about all reviews. The one major con, is "expensive." Apple has to be competitive with other products. I do not care what an apple TV can do, it will come to a point where passing a certain price, will make it only exclusive to a small set of consumers. There are already a small collection of smart HDTV on the market, at a fair price. I hope I am wrong, but this apple tv project is really starting to look like a very expensive toy, and not really worth the price. I truly hope I am wrong, but have a bad feeling about this one.
Awww, don't feel bad Glenn. You'll be OK. :-) :-) :-)
Apple could buy Loewe just for their software and dump their TV hardware. The original article says:
"Loewe has also embraced the iPad and has released its own app that makes controlling its Audio/Video products a breeze."
Might be worth acquiring.

Why can't you guys TRY to understand that the TV that Apple would release ( next year) is a whole lot more than just a tv with built in AppleTV ?
Jobs cracked the TV . That means something NEW that will revolutionize the TV industry is coming out soon. Much like how iTunes changed the music industry and iPhone changed the smart phone.
Stay tuned. This is the best thing that happened to TV since color TV ;) :)
Oh Im sure they will! ( the price not the rez) :P

I finished up this quilt top last night with all of my colorful blocks put together. The hardest part was fitting all the blocks in there, balancing the colors, and not letting any 2 of the same color be next to each other. Heaven forbid that should happen. :) But I finally figured it out and I'm happy with it. I don't love sewing sashings, its a little too boring for me, so I'm glad this top is done. The top measures 50" by 60".
Besides sewing, I'm attempting to improve my photo taking. I love taking the pictures, but it is the editing and printing, and what the heck do I do with all these pictures???….that really gets me. I finally got a prime lens, which was a main reason for buying a Canon in the first place…..that was 2 years ago and I'm finally getting around to using it. So VERY slowly, but surely, I'm going to play with my photos more. And then there's the scrapbooking…..and that's a whole other problem. :)
PS. I've received some questions I haven't been able to respond to…so if you have a question you want answered use my email at the top of the toolbar on the right. My computer still won't let me comment on blogger blogs with embedded comments (blogger says its our IP?) so if you leave your email I'll get back with you!

It really doesn't matter what Adobe says at this point since they can't get flash running on a mobile phone. Flash is flawed at it's core in the way that it decodes which causes it to uses too much battery and CPU which is deadly in the mobile space. Even if they can get it running it will kill user experience because of the battery issues.
I am telling you now that flash on phones won't be released this year, it will be pushed back yet again to 2011 because they just can't get it to work right. They have had three years since the iPhone has released, long live HTML 5!
Adobe hearts Apple, hits them in userbase with open letter on openness, new ad campaign
In the ongoing feud between Apple and Adobe, Adobe's founders have posted an open letter, "thoughts on openess" and Adobe has begun rolling out a new ad campaign on Engadget -- and presumably other geek-rich online sites -- declaring their love for Apple, and then telling users how saintly Adobe, users like us, and little puppies are being hurt by Apple's evil ways.
It's smart, at least much smarter than Adobe's initial responses to -- and complaints to the federal government about -- Steve Jobs' "thoughts on Flash", although it still pretends that Adobe isn't as self-interested, controlling, and out for money and market share as Apple -- which they absolutely are.
If the web fragments into closed systems, if companies put content and applications behind walls, some indeed may thrive — but their success will come at the expense of the very creativity and innovation that has made the Internet a revolutionary force.
We believe that Apple, by taking the opposite approach, has taken a step that could undermine this next chapter of the web — the chapter in which mobile devices outnumber computers, any individual can be a publisher, and content is accessed anywhere and at any time.
Interestingly, Adobe's open letter contains three registered trademark symbols (™), including one on Flash. Steve Jobs' contained none.
Flash is Adobe's. Tell us how popular it is. Make a phenomenal mobile version that does things so well it makes HTML5 cry in its standards-based containers. Win the case that Flash is better and too important to ignore. But continuing to pretend Adobe and Flash are open and end-user interests are what Adobe is fighting for is insulting.
Smart users know better. They've used Adobe products. Words aren't going to make a dent now; it's time for deliverables.

Well, the private beta of Flash Player on Android looks pretty sweet, with constant new videos by developers on the beta up on YouTube. Also those who have benchmarked have it running a lot faster than similar HTML5 examples. I imagine next week at Google I/O we will see a lot more and hopefully the public beta will finally open up.
Preach on brother!
I think this is a classic case of a company NOT being forward thinking at all in the case of Adobe. Everyone could see that mobile was the future. Abode should have had people working round the clock to get Flash working and working great on mobile devices years ago. Did they? Have they?
Their loss. Apple has won this battle and is on their way to make Flash a thing of the past
Is it just me, or does this whole thing smack of desperation at this point?
Apple, Microsoft, and even Google have said that the future is HTML5. The writing is on the wall, and Adobe has now resorted to BEGGING the general public to back their software. Flash still has its uses, but the future of mobile devices doesn't look to be one of them. (Regardless of what beta software Adobe may or may not release in the next year or two.)
Also, keep in mind that because of Apple's/Microsoft's stance, and the iPad's brisk sales, every major video site either already supports HTML5, or is working feverishly to add support for it. In the next 6 months to a year I would guess that Hulu, CBS, ABC, YouTube, Facebook, etc will all either have native apps or HTML5-based websites that will work for all the iDevices. At which point, what will we need Flash for again? I forget... oh, wait... I forgot about all those wonderful blinking ads all over the internet. o_O
Sorry Adobe, but it looks like you are just wasting money and ad-space at this point.
i see adobe cry about apple. apple use white logo but all apples are red and so is adobe. i think they merge. i need adobe on phone for favorite unicorn game. where do i buy it and can i borrow your copy. i tell att on phone that game do not work and they laugh at me. i not weak but they still laugh. oh no what to do. both apple and adobe start with a and have 5 letters and end with e. i think they must fight because of this. yes?
The truth is that people buy Apple knowing that they won't get Flash so no one's freedom is being taken away. It's a tradeoff that people choose to make. As far as the content, sorry but Flash was two chapters ago in the "history of the Web". Good effort, though Adobe! As far as the current beta build of 10.1 on Android, it looks pretty good for website content but it's still stuttery on video.

No, an earlier build crashed once.

Adobe Should Present An New Optimized Version Of Flash For Mobile Devices To Apple.....Either Way It's Pathetic To Not Include It On The iPad Regardless
The latest flash demos for Android look much improved, that it's taken Adobe this long just shows that it was either very hard to make Flash efficient, or Adobe really didn't care to try until Apple forced their hand (the way Firefox forced Microsoft to improve IE).
I use ClicktoFlash on my Mac because the load times were revving my computer to galactic temperatures. My computer runs smoother and faster by not loading Flash all the time. I don't miss Flash one bit on my iPhone as I have already learned to ignore it on my computer 90% of the time.
I agree with zeagus, if it's taken Adobe this long to get a mobile version ready, how long will it take them to update whatever comes next? If I wanted that kind of lengthy response to growing technology, I would be using a PC.
You are conflating issues again - most of us do not care about a Flash runtime on the iPhone, but the ultimately self-defeating policies of banning development tools and languages. You (and Jobs) keep trying to shift focus on the former as if it is the only issue, whereas 2/3 (if not all) of Adobe's ad - and 99.4% of developer complaints - refers to the latter.
If they were so worried about my experience of the web being taken away, why have they dragged their arses for 3 years before getting full mobile flash out ?
Btw, I am under no illusions that Adobe is any bastion of openness -- just saying that Adobe is getting a lot of sympathy from quarters that normally would not care for them (like me) because of Apple's policies and self-serving mixing of issues.
@(Copy of) Dev
while i agree with you that this is the issue, the 99.4% of developers must be flash developers. What % are flash developers compared to app store developers ? if developers are so pissed why has the wwdc sold out in 8 days, and is it a given right of a developer to code in whatever language he chooses ?
@Brian Hickey

Flash is flawed at it's core in the way that it decodes which causes it to uses too much battery and CPU which is deadly in the mobile space.

Sing that loudly, sing it often. I dislike flash too.
But do leave yourself and exit, a backpedal, a face saving. Put in a few weasel words, escape clauses, and disclaimers.
Because next week Android 2.2 comes out with Flash Mobile.
And if it DOESN'T crash, and if it DOESN'T suck battery, and if it DOESN'T corrupt the phone OS, then you realize you have been defending the lack of cut and paste, the lack of MMS, or any one of a number of things Apple wouldn't let you have, and which the fanboys stepped up and poo pooed.
If it all works, you've been suckered again.
Serious kiss ass going on here.
The bottom line is the only thing Apple has to do with the creation of anything for the internet is iWeb. That is it. They provide zero tools (other than basic iWeb) that dictate anything about how to create content for the web. Adobe is the only one in the Adobe Vs. Apple fight that provides tools for web based content. If you're talking about designing apps for the iPhone (which is a totally different debate) using flash, then take that fight elsewhere with developers, not consumers. In terms of "openness" on the web, the only thing Apple is providing in this whole thing is the browser (the consuming end, not the creation end), and on top of that the only browser that doesn't support flash is the iPhone OS browser. That's it. Adobe is fighting a fight (on the topic of web development, NOT iPHONE APPS) about development for the web when the only hand Apple has in this fight is their browser not supporting the consumption of flash by the user. It's Apple's product. If you the user don't like it, you have many other options to choose from. If you the developer don't like it, don't bother making HTML5 versions of things and only cater to the non-iPhone user population. If you want to access the iPhone user base, then quit crying. No one is forcing you to stay, and in fact the only thing that would have any force on you staying is your own greed to profit off of the iPhone user base web traffic, and that's neither Adobe nor Apple's fault, that's your own.
Just my $0.02
the stability, security and the resource unfriendly nature of flash are all valid arguments for Steve Jobs to make, and none of them make a bit of difference. even if adobe put out a version that was not only perfect, but increased the performance of devices, Apple would still not adopt it because flash is a direct competitor to the iPhone OS and a means to circumvent the app store.
his open letter was an incredibly safe bet since the things he addressed aren't likely to be fixed soon, and are valid concern, but none of them are the reason we don't have flash.
@zero credibility
No -- Flash has nothing to do with the argument for 99.4% of developers. EA wants to write their engine in C/Obj C, but write their game logic in Lua. Gameloft wants to use Unity3D for the whole of some titles. Neither of them are fans of Flash, and would like nothing better than for Flash to go away. They want to use the best tool for the job, and that is not always C or Objective-C. Many titles -- games especially -- use a mixture of languages, not because of any "right" to do so but because hard-won experience has proven that approach yields the fastest, most sophisticated, and most bug-free end product. In their zeal to stomp out Flash, Apple is telling developers that every problem in development is the same nail, and that you can use only one hammer. That -- an Apple policy that forces the best developers to do lesser work at greater expense than they otherwise could -- and not any preference for Flash, is what has people annoyed.
As I have said before, that annoyance has not produced any visible backlash because the iPhone is still the dominant platform out there. WWDC sells out because Apple has a big tech lead and a big market. Most of us are not ideologues, and just want to make things people use, and make a living while doing so. Right now, that means targeting iPhoneOS, and likely will for at least a few more years. But resentment is building, and will eventually poison the third party ecosystem should another platform finally get its head out of its *** and make something competitive, with comparable market share.
I guess we should expect a bunch of "Yeah Steve!" and "Right on" when Jobs posts his letter then turn around with "Ughh" and "Whatevvvvver!" when Adobe posts theirs from this blog. What I don't expect is the blog to ignore half-truths from one or the other. If you're going to point out the bad in Adobe's letter, do so in Jobs' as well.
Here is a great post from John Nack furthering the conversation:http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2010/05/absolutepowervsthepirate_flag.html
@Rene Ritchie
Why do you guys keep saying it took "sooo long" for Adobe to make Flash for mobile ready? It hasn't. Devices could not handle half of what they could today 4 years ago. You dealt with Symbian devices, mainly, running Flash Lite because it was very lightweight. Now devices are faster and more powerful than 10 year old computers.
It hasn't taken them forever. You're riding the same coat-tail Apple held when they smashed Microsoft for 5 years without a new OS, which wasn't true since they had numerous XP versions (just like OS X 10.n).
Do your readers justice and be objective, unless Apple is paying the bills.
Flash & Battery Consumption...here is a test with beta 10.1 flash player and nexus one.
pretty nice allready!
@(Copy of) Dev
I can see the other side a little better no thanks. I guess I agree with you that if it effects unity and other similar tools, that is not good. I can also see how apple looses control with the one fits all code that Adobe would create. In a perfect world I would allow the tools like unity which help with core of the apps but refuse anything that has control over the new features and UI elements like Flash would .. , but that's far to simple to work in this case.
With Flash coming out on Android next week...what does that say about Google?
Google is always running their mouth about open web standards but they go out of their way to support Flash on Android 2.2. Hmmmm.
All I'm saying...beware of Google. A friend I know at Google told me that Google is now out to get Facebook. Look for their paid hacks to start publicly bad mouthing Facebook. People like jason calacanis and Leo Laporte among others in Google's back pocket.
Again Beware of Big Brother Google.
Go into any Geek Squad repair shop, and very rarely will you see a mac. They will work on broken macs. There are developers out there that run programs with flash, and also quick time. Unless they really come out with something very new, flash will not work well on the mobile device. Case in point, I had flash on a mobile windows device. I would get open database errors. Never could figure it out. If I deleted flash, no more problems. I still think each company should put the best tech minds they have in a room, and say develope a product that will knock the socks off the customer. They read these forms. I forgot how many surveys I did for palm, and never really saw a product to match. The pre wasn't it.
Never said Apple does not innovate, nor that they do not deserve their big lead, just that their even as their technology soars, their policies are building up resentment. Nobody sees as a problem while there is a lead, but it eventually will bite them in the butt if/when others close the gap a little. Most of us developers who still like Apple would like them to avoid that trap before it springs. My apologies if that light constructive criticism offends you.
Apple has won this battle in my opinion and I would be happy to tell you why.
Steve Jobs publicy stated the many reasons why they are banning Adobe products in his "thoughts on flash" memo. He didn't blantly "attack" Adobe, he explained Apple's logic why they would not allow it. Adobes CEO "response" seemed unformulated and it is was an overall very ineffective to way combat Jobs remarks. How does Adobe respond, stoping efforts to prove Apple wrong by halting development on iPhone platform.
If someone called my company out like the Jobs did, then I would be sure to do my very best to prove them wrong (and not quit). It seems Adobe is defeated in that have officially quit. So this " I love apple" marketing garbage looks... Pathetic....
Just MY opinion...
@p rock
you seem not to understand jobs "thoughts on flash" that was just an official statement so all people think "oh, yeah, so this are the reasons for not impementing flash, ah, okay. flash sucks.". It's only about "control of their own OS", that doesn't work with flash, java or any other plugin.
But in truth, 90% is a lie, watch the latest news and videos about flash 10.1 and android and you see why his statements are pure BS... Adobe and Google are working together and it works great, because Google does offer access to their OS, hardware acceleration etc. This is something Apple is not doing and will just not allow, so Flash, Java, DivX or similiar plugins never have and had any chance on the Iphone OS!
The problem is just, flash is BIG, many websites have flash, a lot of people want flash, ask for flash and noone is really screaming for DivX or Java, so here is your reason for Jobs "thoughts on flash".
Ok, Adobe is getting desperate. Apple is in such a position now that whatever they say, people adjust. If Apple dont want flash on their mobile devices, it wont happen, and since they are in the position they are, people will accept that fact and still buy their iDevices because they simply want them. Because they are a giant, the developers adjust their software to do what apple want because what apple wants is what the customer wants.
Adobe are scared to death because of this. Even though flash wont be available on the iDevices, people will still buy the devices, and that equals less money for Adobe whom then starts to act like a child.
I am perfectly fine with Apple controling the App Store. I thought it was like that in many cases. Xbox Live, PSN etc. I would HATE to see bad developed Porn Games made in flash in the app store.
Also, if Adobe would Heart apple, im sure that there would have been better support for the apple platform from the start, a better flash player etc etc. Nah, Adobe Heart Money and are scared of getting closed out from the market. I hope they have to scrap their closed out buggy ram hog of a tool called flash.
it's just like the nerd who keeps asking the super hot mean girl out.. No matter how many times he asks, the answer is still no nerd... Damn hot chicks

Chilifest Weekend means local law enforcement step up their patrols. This year was no different. DPS Troopers worked a stretch of Highway 60 over the course of two days.
The Department of Public Safety says they handed out 386 warnings and 56 total arrests. Those arrests included 5 for open containers. Three minor in possession charges and one DUI by a minor.
As you can tell, it's a busy weekend for law enforcement. That small stretch of Highway 60 in Burleson County becomes a gauntlet for anyone who attempts to drink and drive.
The cook-off and concert in Snook always nets arrests as well. But, as the number of Chilifest arrests in Burleson County are down this year.
Chilifest weekend means thousands come together for food, fun and country music. The annual fundraiser rakes in well over $100,000 each year for Brazos Valley charities.
It also leaves behind a big mess.
The clean-up takes days after the people have left to finish. The Matthews Family and many others take the job seriously. Just like law enforcement.
"They come out there for a good time," said Burleson County Precinct 2 Constable Dennis Gaas.
"As long as they're having a good time, and not a danger to themselves or to anybody, we let them have their fun. It's those on that extreme side that we have to keep an eye on," continued Gaas.
Organizers say that over 50,000 people went to the Starlight Ballroom just outside of Snook. While many of them left behind great memories of another Chilifest in the books, some of them took home citations.
For Chilifest 2013, 112 tickets were written on the weekend, 49 of which were for Minor In Possession. 9 people, however, wound up going to jail. In 2012, 61 people were arrested at Chilifest. DPS arrest numbers for 2012 weren't available.
"Overall, there were less citations on Friday and Saturday this year at this Chilifest," explained Gaas.
But for organizers, the cycle never stops.
"I've already started planning for 2014 already, last week," laughed Gaas.
Plans that hopefully include even fewer citations.
Here's a complete breakdown on arrests from Chilifest Weekend.

I kid you not. It sat on our kitchen windowsill, behind a plant, for twelve months. I would pick it up, clean under it, and put it right back down. Always thinking that perhaps two of the kids should take a chance at breaking it. But which two? So yesterday, they drew papers out of the palm of my hand. Only two received the lucky piece. Charlie and Andrew. And then only one got the big half. Andrew. I hope his wish comes true. (I am sure it is something like, get a new lego guy.)
Thanks for playing, and here's to having wishes come true.

If you dont dose 2 part, this product is a must! best salt available By jacob on 10/14/2012 jacob would recommend this product to a friend this is the best salt on the market. my corals and fish look better and are growing faster thna ever awesome salt By vipassana on 10/9/2012 vipassana would recommend this product to a friend dissolves in seconds way faster than RC corals love it too Great salt, can be cloudy with insufficient mixing By MJ's Custom Aquarium Water on 9/21/2012 MJ's Custom Aquarium Water would recommend this product to a friend It took me quite awhile to master the mixing process with this salt. Even when poorly mixed and very cloudy my saltwater tank loved it. After switching from the LFS water to my own RODI and this salt, I completely eliminated my nuissance bubble and hair algae within a couple months. It was miraculous. I would give this 10 stars as a product if it wasn't so hard to get mixed thoroughly in small batches. Now I have a 55 gallon mixing station and it mixes like a dream. Good! By paul on 9/14/2012 paul would recommend this product to a friend Just got my 175 Red Sea Coral Pro Salt 175 Gallon. Bad thing about is that doesn't come with the measure cup. Awesome salt By Andrew on 9/13/2012 Andrew would recommend this product to a friend I ordered the big bucket. It has some serious heft to it--the UPS man was audibly angry about having to carry it around. Anyway, this stuff dissolves faster than any salt I've ever used, and its stats on mixing it up are exactly what it says on the package (at least, within the error range of my test kits). Best salt By Aunkie on 9/11/2012 Aunkie would recommend this product to a friend My fish love it what more could i want. Good Salt By Keith on 9/7/2012 Keith would recommend this product to a friend This stuff mixes great, clear water in just minutes. It also mixes up very close to what the label says at 1.026. like this salt By David on 8/27/2012 David would recommend this product to a friend Mixes clear and quick. Levels are better than the mass produced salts. Best Salt So Far By Rob on 8/18/2012 Rob would recommend this product to a friend I have tried about 5 different salts and this is the best so far. I cannot think about anything bad to say about it. It mixes very fast and clean, and helps me keep parameters more stable. I have noticed I have not had to dose as much in my mixed reef compared to other salts. Scarry By Dedeo on 8/16/2012 Dedeo wouldn't recommend this product to a friend I bought this salt at my LFS. When I did a 15% water change, the next day both my Powder Blue Tang and my Yellow Tang were dead. I freaked out. I had them for months and they are not cheap fish. So I got them out and did another water change. While I was checking the water chemistry I noticed the ammonia was high. So I did another water change, same results. So I checked my freash water it came up 0 ppm, then when I put the Red Sea Pro Salt in the good water and checked it it came up 1.0ppm the tube was green. I checked it over and over again with the same results. I then took pictures and emailed them to my LFS. They gave me my money back and wanted 2 cups of the salt. They got the same results I did. I don't know if I got a bad batch or what, but when I contacted Red Sea, they never even emailed my back. So now every time I do a water change I check the new water before I put it in my tank!

The Mavericks Drop Hilbert On The Road
- Release Date:
- December 9, 2009
- Contact:
- The Office of Sports Information
- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
BUFFALO, NY - The Hilbert College women's basketball team traveled to Medaille College Wednesday, December 9 for their fourth Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference (AMCC) game. Medaille was just too much for the Hawks to handle so they traveled back to Hamburg after the 83-26 loss dropped their record to 0-9 (0-4 AMCC). Medaille improved to 8-1 (4-0 AMCC).
Hilbert scored their first points at 17:32 after turning the ball over their first 6 possessions. The Mavericks jumped out to a 52-10 lead by intermission and the second half of play saw both benches getting quality minutes of floor-time. Medaille held a 64-30 rebounding advantage and forced 42 Hilbert turnovers. Hilbert shot 21% from the floor and had 13 steals.
Three freshmen for Hilbert stayed on the court and endured the rotating line-up from Medaille. Guard Molly Burgess (Lyndonville, NY/Lyndonville) shot 6-10 (3-6 from arc) to finish with 15 points and 2 steals in 30 minutes. Amber Grosch, a forward from Depew high school was held scoreless in 32 minutes of court time but did pull down 6 rebounds while guard Shavonne Walton (Buffalo, NY/Lackawanna) played 25 minutes and lead the team with 6 steals. Medaille was led by junior forward Tanisha Travis with 17 points and 6 rebounds.
Hilbert now prepares for their trip down to central PA when they play Penn State Altoona (8-2, 3-2 AMCC) on December 12. After that game, the Hawks will be off until their next game scheduled for January 6th, 2010 at first-year AMCC member D'Youville College. The Franciscan University of Steubenville game originally scheduled for January 2 has been rescheduled to Sunday, January 31 at Hilbert College.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

Local celebs give spirited reading of 'Christmas Carol'Written by Vicki L. Kroll | | email@example.com
As Christmastime returns, draw a chair closer to the fire, fill the glass, and listen to "Holiday Wishes 3" disc two, the bonus track.
Familiar voices haunt the rendition of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," which begins and ends with Vincent Price to scare up a little holiday spirit.
"It's a nightmare before Christmas; it's a haunting ghost story, but it's a Christmas story. Who better than Vincent Price to start the reading?" said Michael S. Miller, Toledo Free Press editor in chief, who produced the Make-A-Wish fundraising project.
Price narrated a 1949 TV special of the yuletide classic.
"It was one of those sublime moments when [Michael and I] found it and we were like, 'This is cool,'" said music producer Mighty Wyte, sound engineer for the charity CD.
Miller decided to use the 1843 story to showcase the talent who volunteered for the disc.
"I thought: Let's do a radio play. And the absolute zenith of this art is 'A Christmas Carol,'" Miller said. "I edited a radio script of [the story] down to its bare essence of the ghost appearances — Dickens, forgive me for hacking at your work. But I'm extraordinarily pleased with the results."
Enter the star power — cue the recording — hear the fun!
Fred LeFebvre, host of the morning news on 1370 WSPD, recorded an Ogden Nash poem for the 2012 CD. This year, he plays Ebenezer Scrooge.
"I took it as a challenge to become a character," LeFebvre said. "I wanted it to be something that people would remember. You have to suck people into that story because it's so familiar; you have to bring a little something new to it to make them want to pay attention."
And he does. From his first utterance, LeFebvre commands attention.
"There's a little bit of evil in everybody, and I think I reached back to a little bit of Scrooge in my own self and pulled that out," LeFebvre said and laughed. "I did put a little bit of an English accent on it, more like the original Alastair Sim's version that people see on TV in black and white during the holiday season."
"[LeFebvre] just becomes Ebenezer Scrooge," said Jerry Anderson, WTOL-11 anchor, who voices Jacob Marley. "There's just so much talent in this city and in this region, and it's really nice through this fun, seasonal project a lot more of it gets exposed than otherwise would; I think it's great."
Floating in to be early-morning specters were Mary Beth Zolik and Rick Woodell of 101.5 The River.
"When you're in a room with the talent we were in, it's very easy to fall into character," said Woodell, who plays the Ghost of Christmas Present. "And mostly everybody hit it cold."
"And did it in one take," added Zolik, who voiced the Ghost of Christmas Past. "We were all in the same room and then one of us would get up from a chair and somebody else would sit down, somebody else would step in front of the microphone and somebody else would move out — it was like old-style radio. We thought it was so fun," Zolik said.
"Once the light came on, it stayed on until it was finished; it's seamless," Woodell said.
That was even with two players making their recording debuts: Evan Miller, 7, and Sean Miller, 5, sons of the editor, have parts in the play.
"Evan and Sean and I rehearsed for about five days. I had no idea how they'd react to being in the studio and being surrounded by the grownups acting to microphones," Miller said. "To watch all those people stand around when Sean walked up to the mic and uttered 'God bless us every one!' and was just so happy to do that — to watch the smiles on everybody's faces, it just really warmed everybody. It was fantastic."
Local actor and director Matthew Gretzinger narrates the timeless tale, which also includes Toledo Free Press columnists Jeff McGinnis and Jim Beard.
"['A Christmas Carol' is] a story of realization and redemption and it goes down to the core of what makes us human," Wyte said.
"Who wouldn't like to be able to get a do-over if you didn't do it right the first time?" Zolik said.
"Dickens and Scrooge will forever remind people — just like [Dr.] Seuss and the Grinch. Those two stories, which ironically are about sourpusses, illustrate how even in the grumpiest person, that light of Christmas shines through and makes us smile," Miller said.

http://www.mmajunkie.com/news/2013/0...ster-on-oct-26MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) has learned from sources close to the event that Michael Bisping (24-5 MMA, 14-5 UFC) and Mark Munoz (13-3 MMA, 8-3 UFC) have verbally agreed to meet at an as-yet-unnamed UFC event tentatively scheduled for Oct. 26 in Manchester, England.
The bout is expected to serve as a five-round main event for the card, which is expected to take place at Manchester Arena (formerly known as Manchester Evening News Arena).
Seems like Bisping's fight to lose IMO. He should have the TDD and counter-wrestling to stop Munoz from getting into GNP position. On their feet, Bisping has a clear advantage and I don't see Munoz as having the kind of power standing that Hendo or Vitor do.

Under Armour among new gearWritten by Staff Reports | | firstname.lastname@example.com
By Torrie Jadlocki, Toledo Free Press Staff Writer
The Swamp Shop recently unveiled its new merchandise for fans looking to support the Toledo Mud Hens.
"About 90 percent of the merchandise is new," said Craig Katz, director of merchandise and licensing for the Hens.
The new rotation of merchandise includes new hats.
There are also 15 new T-shirts and 25 new sweatshirts, which are all listed on the store website, swampshop.milbstore.com.
"The new merchandise is already ready to go. It's already in the store as well as the online store," Katz said. "We expect the sweatshirts to sell well this year with it being as cold as it's been."
The women's and children's merchandise has also been completely redone.
"Almost the entire kids and ladies line is brand-new items," Katz said.
Another new addition to the shop is the line of Under Armour products. Katz projects this line of apparel will sell well this season.
"They are a well-known brand that fans have been looking for," Katz said. "This is the first year being licensed with Major League and Minor League Baseball."
Under Armour is a popular brand among athletes as well as fans.
Another line of apparel projected to sell well is the "Holy Toledo" line. The line currently consists of four T-shirts, but there is potential for expanding it at a later date, Katz said.
"It appeals to all Toledo natives, not just baseball and hockey fans," he said.
Staples that sell well is are baseball caps, a necessity for many baseball fans, Katz said.
"This year we're introducing a new flat bill snapback," Katz said. "And our batting practice caps always sell well."
The flat bill snapback style caps are becoming popular with many sports fans, and come in a variety of styles.
Some merchandise has already sold well, both online and in the store locations.
According to Katz, items such as the youth Nike Henley jersey, the red Pep Rally zip hoodie, the heather gray Diner hoodie, the official logo T-shirt and the New Era batting practice Diamond Era cap have all sold well recently.
Hours for the Swamp Shop at Fifth Third Field are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Friday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday. The Swamp Shop at Huntington Center will be open until hockey season is finished. Hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday-Friday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday.

A Beech Island man who allegedly shot his ex-wife earlier this month remained in custody at the Richmond County Detention Center in Georgia on Sunday following his arrest the previous evening. He was being held there pending an extradition hearing.
Frank Muns, 48, was wanted for attempted murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime. He was apprehended "without incident," around 6:40 p.m. on Saturday at the America's Best Inn & Suites on Gordon Highway in Augusta, said Capt. Eric Abdullah of the Aiken County Sheriff's Office. An anonymous phone call early Saturday morning led law enforcement officials to Muns.
According to a Sheriff's Office report, Muns fired a pistol, hitting the victim twice, on April 6 just before noon during a confrontation on Beard Road in Beech Island. The woman, who was sitting in her car at the time, told officers she was returning home when Muns approached her.
The victim, who was struck at least once in the abdomen, was transported to Georgia Regents Medical Center.
Muns' arrest was a joint effort involving Aiken County Sheriff's Office deputies, the U.S. Marshals Service Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force and the Richmond County Sheriff's Office.

Feast of St. Francis Celebration Includes Guest Lecturer, Among Other Activities
- Release Date:
- September 20, 2012
- Contact:
- Matt Heidt, email@example.com
- 716-926-8792
HAMBURG, N.Y. – As part of the Celebration of the Feast of St. Francis activities, Hilbert College presents Fr. Dan Horan, OFM as guest lecture on Monday, October 1, 2012 at 3:30 p.m. in Bogel Hall 101.
In this lecture, How to "Prophet" From the Franciscan Tradition: Solidarity and Christian Living in the 21st Century, Fr. Dan Horan will explore what we can take away from our Franciscan heritage in terms of Christian living in the 21st Century, as well as how we might become prophets after the example of St. Francis of Assisi.
A professor, lecturer, and the author of numerous articles and books, including Dating God: Live and Love in the Way of St. Francis, Daniel P. Horan, OFM is a Franciscan friar of Holy Name Province. Fr. Dan previously taught in the department of religious studies at Siena College and was a visiting professor in the department of theology at St. Bonaventure University. He currently serves on the Board of Directors of the International Thomas Merton Society. A graduate of St. Bonaventure University (B.A. Theology) and the Washington Theological Union (M.A. Systematic Theology and M.Div.), he is currently completing a Ph.D. in Systematic Theology at Boston College.
The St. Francis Week activities officially kick off September 28 with a blessing of the animals at 1 p.m. outdoors near the statue of St. Francis at the back of Bogel Hall (rain location will be St. Clare's Chapel in Bogel). In honor of St. Francis' love for all creatures, Deacon Dennis Conroy, who assists in Hilbert's Office of Campus Ministry, will conduct the blessing. After the blessing, animals will receive pet treats and pet owners will be served ice cream.
On October 4, the Feast of St. Francis, the Hilbert community will participate in a peace walk at 12:30 p.m. starting in the William E. Swan Auditorium and then follow a path to designated outdoor stations around campus. Each location will highlight a peace-related occurrence in the life of St. Francis and offer students, faculty and staff a reflection point to ponder as they continue the walk.
The week concludes October 5 with a service project from 10:30 a.m.-1 p.m. at Buffalo's Vive La Casa, the largest refugee shelter in the United States. Hilbert volunteers will sort donations, clean the facility, help out in the kitchen pantry and provide other assistance as needed.
All events are free and open to the public, excluding the service project which is for the Hilbert community only. More information about Hilbert's St. Francis Week activities is available by contacting Barbara Bonanno, director of campus ministry and mission integration, at 926-8924 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations.

"After a two-month survey of thousands of small business owners nationwide, we've heard directly from Wisconsin's small businesses that the state could do more to support them," says Jon Lieber, Chief Economist of Thumbtack. "Creating a business climate that is welcoming to small, dynamic businesses is more important than ever, and Wisconsin has more to do to get there."
Some of the key findings for Wisconsin include:

These claims must cease!
Read my fucking bio, people, you will see it is perfectly clear. There is absolutely no room for hypotheticals, or wiggle room on this subject. I have only ever participated in the following martial arts:
1. Judo
2. Shotokan
3. Muay Thai/ Kickboxing
6. A "scientific concept" hybrid made up of boxing, MT and wing chun that I do not recommend.
7. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Whether it is because of my awesomeness, my awesome reputation or my reputation for awesomeness, it's like people feel they have public domain over me. I'm a fucking celebrity, I get that, but fucking hell, I'm human for ****'s sake. I don't expect the same treatment as the average Joe, I'm aware that I am exalted, hailed as a hero and praised as a deity in some circles. I understand, one doesn't become this good without picking up loyal disciples, minions, if you will, along the way. But there are too many threads on here about me, where there is no evidence to back any sort of association and it must stop.
For as long as I can remember people have tried to use me to validate their choice of martial art. They attempt to say that, through me, their martial art is effective, allows people to fight multiple opponents, has techniques designed to kill and maim. That somehow I make their choice of shitty, compliant, teh d34l33, dead patterned martial arts one to which one should aspire.
The myth that surrounds me must end, right now. I am not a time traveller, nor am I immortal. I have left my home country on only two occasions and travelled to the UK, Paris, L.A., Hawaii, Fiji and New Zealand. That's it. I've been in many brawls, none of which meant I "successfully fought multiple opponents". I don't want to kill or maim anyone. And I only recommend martial arts that have "alive" training as a principle, so anyone claiming that they can't practice their technique on a fully resisting opponent does not have my seal of approval.
So, from now on, unless you are referring to the 7 arts listed above, you will never say your "martial art was tested on/ martial art was learnt from/ martial art was designed for" battlefields.GET A RED BELT OR DIE TRYIN'.

I heard there was a lot of blood spilt on you, and many men gave up their souls while on battlefieds.
So my inquiry to you is this: how long have you been participating in these violent all male orgies? And are you always on the receiving end? Or do you also give up your motherfucking soul while on somebody else?Originally Posted by Goju - joe
I have indeed had blood spilt on me and many men do offer their souls to me, but none of it was sexual, The Question. I'd call you sick but I know you'd just get horny.

Richmond, Va. (April 27, 2013) – Travis Pastrana turned in a career-high ninth-place finish in Friday night's NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) race at Richmond International Raceway (RIR). In one of the strongest performances of his short NASCAR career, Pastrana battled back from 31st and a lap down, powering his No. 60 Ford Mustang to his third top-10 finish of the season.
The 250-lap race at RIR marked the first time this season that Pastrana visited a track that he had previously raced at in the NNS. His first career NNS start came at Richmond as did his first start with Roush Fenway Racing (RFR).
"The guys really didn't start with what we thought we had, but they really got this car working at the end and we were making some passes," Pastrana said. "We got a top-10 finish and I'll take it."
Race day started off with a two and a half hour practice session, in which the No. 60 team worked to get the RFR Ford Mustang dialed in for the second night race of the season. Later in the day, teams would make their way to the track for qualifying.
Pastrana and the No. 60 team rolled of 17th for the evening's race. At the drop of the green flag, Pastrana settled into 19th. The first caution flag of the day waved on Lap 23, with the team making their first pit stop of the day for fuel and a wedge adjustment on Lap 36.
On the ensuing restart, the No. 60 Ford Mustang was too tight for Pastrana to maneuver through the field. He dropped all the way back to 31st. As the green flag run progressed, the handling of the car became more to Pastrana's liking, as he methodically worked his way through the field.
The caution flag came out again on Lap 101, with the No. 60 Ford Mustang down one lap to the leaders, due to the long green flag run. Crew Chief Chad Norris called Pastrana back down pit road for the second time of the night, taking four tires, fuel and a wedge adjustment.
The crew continued to work on the car, while Pastrana positioned himself in the free pass spot, as the first car one lap down. The No. 60 team ultimately received the free pass as the result of a Lap 190 caution, putting him back on the same lap as the leaders. He made his way down pit road for the final time, taking four fresh tires.
With a little over 50 laps to go, Pastrana continued his march to the front, battling hard with the top-15 drivers. The No. 60 Ford Mustang wound up crossing the finish line in ninth, besting Pastrana's previous career-high finishes of 10th (Daytona and Las Vegas).
"We were getting bumped around like bumper cars out there," Pastrana said. "I had so much fun. I like racing like that. I like when people are bumping me and I'm bumping people."
Brad Keselowski took the checkered flag, while NASCAR Sprint Cup Series regulars, Kevin Harvick and Kyle Busch rounded out the top-three. Brian Vickers finished fourth, while Regan Smith finished fifth. RFR teammates Trevor Bayne and Ryan Reed finished 12th and 16th, respectively. Pastrana and the No. 60 RFR Ford Mustang moved up one spot to 13th in the NNS point standings.

|Cal State Northridge, 1980
|Head Coach
|29th Season
Jim Bracken recently completed his 28th season as the head coach of the Cal State Northridge men's golf team in 2013-14.
During the past season, the Matadors posted one top-five team finish and seven top-10 team finishes which included a season-best fourth-place finish at the Anteater Invitational (Jan. 27-28). Senior Kyler Sauer led CSUN with a 72.7 scoring average which ranks sixth in school history.
Bracken has coached nine All-Americans since taking over for the legendary Bill Cullum following the 1985-86 season. Nick Delio is Bracken's most recent All-American, setting the school scoring record following his senior season in 2010.
In 13 seasons as a member of the Big West Conference, Bracken has led the Matadors to a trio of third-place finishes (2004, 2008, 2011) and Cal State Northridge was also fourth in 2006.
Bracken led the Matadors to their only Division I conference championship, when Northridge won the Big Sky Conference title in 2000 by finishing with a three-round team score of two-over-par 866. The Matadors then went on to finish 17th at the NCAA Regionals, their first appearance in the Regionals since 1992-93. In Bracken's 28 seasons, Northridge has produced nine All-Americans and has had 32 golfers named all-conference since the 1996-97 season.
Bracken, who was named head coach in 1986, has guided his alma mater to three District 8 championships, four appearances in the NCAA Division II championships and one appearance in the NCAA Division I championships. The three-time District 8 Coach of the Year (1987-89) led the Matadors to a third-place trophy at the NCAA Division II championships in 1990, the program's last season at the Division II level. Northridge also has NCAA finishes of third in 1989, fifth in 1987 and eighth in 1988.
A 1980 graduate of Cal State Northridge with a bachelor's degree in commercial recreation, Bracken played for the school's golf program during the 1978 and 1979 seasons. His career low round was 70, shot in the Matadors' victory over Cal Poly Pomona on Feb. 9, 1979. Bracken was 3-0 in 1978 and 4-2 in 1979 for the Matadors in match play. His best tournament was a 152 at the 1979 UC Riverside Invitational.
Bracken was voted all-league in golf and basketball at James Monroe High School, graduating in 1975 before earning his associate of arts degree at Los Angeles Valley College in 1978.
After college, Bracken's playing experience includes winning the Oxnard City Championship and a fourth-place finish at the Ventura County Championship. He also was a qualifier for the U.S. Amateur and was the low amateur at the California State Open and a quarterfinalist for the Pacific Northwest Amateur Championship. Most recently, Bracken and UCSB head coach Steve Lass tied for fourth at the SCGA Senior Amateur Four-Ball Tournament at Ojai Valley Inn.
Bracken, born in Los Angeles, is an active member of the Southern California Golf Association and is co-chairman of the Ben Graham Memorial Scholarship at CSUN.
He resides in Granada Hills with his wife Kim and two daughters, Hallie and Carly. He also owns a pool cleaning business and is a former child actor.
