Columbus, Ohio
U-M Drops Big Ten Opener at Ohio State in Overtime
After U-M overcame a one-goal deficit with markers at 80:03 and 84:23, a Wolverine own goal at 86:04 sent the contest into overtime, where Ohio State netted the winner 34 seconds in, resulting in a 3-2 final.
Previously Against the Buckeyes -- Last season in Columbus on Sept. 25, 2011, the Wolverines conceded a first-half score but fought back in the second half to take a 2-1 lead on scores from Fabio Pereira and Ezekiel Harris in the 80th and 84th minute. However, a Michigan own goal tied up the match to send the game to overtime, where Chris Hegngi scored the game-winner in the 91st minute of the match for thrilling 3-2 victory, where four goals were scored in less than 11 minutes. The match marked Michigan's third straight overtime defeat in a year where U-M played six overtime matches.
Scouting Ohio State -- The Buckeyes enter the match with a 4-5-1 overall record and a 0-1 Big Ten ledger after falling against Indiana, 2-0, on Sept. 23. On Wednesday (Sept. 26), Ohio State defeated the Butler Bulldogs by a 4-1 count at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium behind a hat trick from Austin McAnena.
Ohio State leads the conference in shots with 144 and is second in points (41) and goals (14) but has conceded a league-high 19 goals on the year and carries a 1.84 goals-against average between goalkeepers Alex Ivanov and Alex Wimmer, each of whom have started five matches on the season. McAnena leads the team with three scores on the season, while four other players have scored a pair on the year. Hegngi leads the squad with 31 shots on the year, 12 of which have been on goal.
Grinwis Named PDL Goalkeeper of the Year -- Redshirt sophomore goalkeeper Adam Grinwis was named the Professional Development League Goalkeeper of the Year as well as Rookie of the Year on Aug. 6. He also earned a spot on the all-league and all-central conference teams for his summer club squad, the Michigan Bucks.
Grinwis led the squad to an 8-0-1 record when in goal and compiled five clean sheets. Additionally, he allowed a league-low four goals on the season and led the Bucks to a 3-1 mark in U.S. Open Cup matches. The returning Michigan starting goaltender also turned away 50 shots on the year.
The redshirt sophomore is the lone Wolverines to play all 644 minutes of match action this season and has 28 saves on the campaign.
U-M Falls to No. 21 Northwestern to Open Big Ten Season -- The Wolverines opened up their 2012 Big Ten schedule Sunday (Sept. 23) with a 2-0 defeat against the No. 21 Northwestern Wildcats. The shutout marked the second straight contest Michigan had been blanked, as U-M was outshot 14-5 on the contest. The Wildcats earned tallies from Grant Wilson and Chris Ritter to take the victory.
Alashe's Streak -- Senior Latif Alashe is riding a consecutive start streak of 70 matches heading into the weekend, having never missed a match in his Maize and Blue career. After playing more of a wide midfield role the past several seasons, Alashe will also see time as a central midfielder in the 2012 campaign. He is now ranked No. 5 on the U-M all-time match start list, behind Adam Bruh (2002-05) with 72 starts, and is looking to catch Ryan Sterba (2002-05), who tops the list with 81 starting nods in his U-M career.
Wolverines Knock Off Previously Undefeated Northeastern, 4-1 -- The Wolverines used a four-score outburst and a season high of 20 shots en route to defeat previously undefeated Northeastern by a 4-1 count Sunday, Sept. 9. Michigan had 12 shots at halftime, equaling a season high with a half to play. In total, the Wolverines had 20 shots on the match, as well as a season-high four goals, which was the highest number of scores since U-M downed Detroit, 4-1, on Sept. 14, 2011.
Finding Paydirt -- With nine goals in seven matches this season, Michigan has already eclipsed the scoring total for the first seven matches of last season.
The Starting XI -- Four Wolverines have found themselves in the starting XI in each match this season, beginning with seniors Latif Alashe and Brian Klemczak. Two sophomores also made the list, as Tyler Arnone and Adam Grinwis have received nods in the first seven matches.
Penalty Kick Prowess -- Junior Fabio Pereira converted his first penalty kick of the season against Northeastern in the 27th minute, marking the second successful try in his career. In his three seasons in Ann Arbor, Pereira is 2-for-3 on penalty attempts, with his first successful attempt coming against Kentucky last season in a 2-1 defeat.
U-M Falls at No. 5 South Florida in Season Opener -- After a scoreless first half against the Bulls, junior Dylan Mencia netted his first-career score off a deflection from a shot by freshman Luke Coulson in the 47th minute, giving the Wolverines a 1-0 advantage. However, a pair of scores by USF less than a minute apart in the 65th and 66th minutes gave USF the lead for good.
Newcomers Make Maize & Blue Debut -- Four Wolverines made their career debuts in Maize and Blue as junior transfer T.J. Roehn, redshirt freshman Colin McAtee, and true freshmen Luke Coulson and James Murphy all saw action, with McAtee, Coulson, and Murphy finding the starting 11. Against Vermont, both Ben Manko (20 minutes), and Jason Stacy made his collegiate debut, playing 16 minutes, while Jack Brown made his debut against Northeastern, logging 15 minutes of action against Northeastern.
Wolverines Return Scoring Punch -- Michigan returns all but three of its 2011 goal scorers this season, along with eight starters, with the biggest loss being two-year starter and holding midfielder Adam Shaw. Additionally, 12 letterwinners return to team up with eight newcomers in the 2012 version of the U-M program.
Opare Named to College Sports Madness Preseason All-Big Ten Squad -- Senior defender Kofi Opare has been named to the CollegeSportsMadness.com Preseason All-Big Ten squad. Opare, who was named to the All-Big Ten second team last season, has started 50 matches in his three seasons and scored a pair of goals last season off set-pieces.
New Coaching Staff Takes Shape -- Former Providence College head man Chaka Daley was named the second head coach in program history Dec. 23, 2011, after 12 seasons at his alma mater.
In the past seven seasons, he guided the Friars to a 72-47-21 mark, and led his alma mater to seven consecutive winning seasons and five NCAA Tournament appearances. The Friars hosted NCAA Tournament match-ups during the 2010 and 2011 campaigns. He owns a career record of 90-111-27 heading into his 13th season as a head coach.
Upon his appointment as head coach, Daley hired former Columbia assistant Tommy McMenemy, as well as former Columbus Crew Youth Coach Ian Gordona. Additionally, Daley tabbed Jhojan Obando, a former Providence College standout goalkeeper and 2011 MLS Combine Invitee, as volunteer assistant coach.
New Kit Features -- This season's kits feature new wrinkles, most notably on the back and arm of the jersey. Just under the back collar of the jersey is a stitched in 'Hail to the Victors,' while block 'M's are located in the bottom of each digit on each player's back. Additionally, the right arm features a stitched-on patch of a Big Ten logo.
Trio of Captains Named -- Latif Alashe, Kofi Opare and Brian Klemczak were named captains by head coach Chaka Daley. Klemczak will be serving as a captain for the second time after garnering the honor for the first time in 2011. Alashe and Opare will each wear the armband for the first time this season. Klemczak will hold the honor of bearing the captains armband during each match if all three are on the field at once.
Wolverines in the MLS -- A pair of former Wolverines have seen action in Major League Soccer matches this season in Justin Meram and Soony Saad, both of whom starred on the 2010 squad's magical run to the College Cup. Meram, who plays for the Columbus Crew, has played in 17 matches with ten starts, and has tallied a trio of scores on the season. Additionally, he has chipped in one assist and has 23 shots.
Saad has seen action in nine matches this season with a pair of starts, and has fired seven shots with two on goal. He has been a mainstay in the Sporting KC reserves, starting all seven matches and tallying two goals as well as one assist.

L'Autre Pied lunch box
Last week, Laoise Casey's lunch box was inspired by the dizzying heights of Duck and Waffle restaurant in the Heron Tower.
This week, she remembers time spent working at a Michelin-starred restaurant in Marylebone:
L'Autre Pied was the first kitchen I worked in. I'll never forget the buzz of that first service, those shouts of 'first bread' and 'YES!' followed by a storm of activity. It's like a beautiful dance where if you don't know the steps you can quickly get lost.
Watching the head chef, Andy McFadden plating up at the pass I felt tingles as I realised this is what it was all about. This is what makes the long hours, hard-work and endless mise-en-place worthwhile. It's addictive and it reels you in. After service he came up to me and said: "You're loving it, aren't you?" And I was. I was hooked. I hope it never lets me go.
So… while I was at L'Autre Pied I peeled a lot of potatoes. But one of my favourite dishes is Andy's celeriac linguini. Here's how to create your own simple summer time lunch box version using courgettes and asparagus. Enjoy.
Courgette and asparagus linguini
What you will need:
Handful cashew nuts
½ courgette
3 asparagus spears
2 breakfast radishes
½ lemon, zest and juice
1 tbsp. olive oil
Sea salt and black pepper, to season
Handful basil, torn
2 tbsp. ricotta
Frying pan
Coarse grater
Cost to make per portion: £2
Preparation time: 5 minutes
How to make it:
Toast the cashew nuts in a frying pan over a medium heat until golden brown.
Coarsely grate the courgette.
Trim the woody ends of the asparagus and peel the tips into shavings.
Thinly slice the breakfast radishes.
Zest and juice the lemon.
Mix the olive oil, lemon zest/juice and basil with the courgette and asparagus. Season with sea salt and black pepper.
Scatter the cashew nuts on top.
As the courgette can release a lot of water I keep the ricotta separately and add just before serving.

That he Knew the buyers befor he purchased the properties. So I met with him the second time Along with my wife. He told us both the same story,That the homes were already sold. I commented to my wife how smart that was to have the buyer already. So I asked do we write a check to you, he said oh no you write the check to the title company, So it seemed very legitimate. So we wrote a check to First American Heritage for $40.000 dollars the home was at 4844 Chandler Ct,Denver,Co. We were to receive our interest only check on 1st.20th. of 2008 No check in jan. February I called Peter,he said he had lost my address. A few days later I receved a $600.00 dollar cashiers check. I thought that was very strange. So I called Peter And asked why the cashiers check. He said I find it easier To do it this way. He also tried to sale me another note at that time, I said not until I see how this one goes. Around the 1st. of Aprail 2008 I receved another $600.00 check that is all I have receved from Peter. So Icalled First American heirtage Title company to see who had the 1st. mortgage It was Pinetree Financial Partners, And they had already started foreclosure. Sounds like A setup to me; I also Foundout That Peter Had Put A 3rd. Note on this same Property For 8.500.00 To A Mr. Hardy Wong. Believe Me this letter could go on and on. But in short I have turned this information over to the District attorney"s Office.

Would it bother you if you knew that online retailers priced their merchandise based on your location?
According to an article in the Wall Street Journal, some online retailers are basing their pricing on "geolocation" and browsing history. But is this any different than what retailers do now when they build stores in different locations? Most have been setting prices based on demographics such as average income, race and population for as long as these data have been available. The price of snow shovels might be different in Sioux Falls than in South Beach. And so online prices may vary based on similar characteristics. According to the WSJ:
The Journal identified several companies, including Staples, Discover Financial Services, Rosetta Stone Inc. and Home Depot Inc. that were consistently adjusting prices and displaying different product offers based on a range of characteristics that could be discovered about the user.
Staples was the merchant most cited in the article.
The Journal tested to see whether price was tied to different characteristics including population, local income, proximity to a Staples store, race and other demographic factors. Statistically speaking, by far the strongest correlation involved the distance to a rival's store from the center of a ZIP Code. That single factor appeared to explain upward of 90% of the pricing pattern.
So, what about if you were purchasing an item online if you just happened to be out of town? Would it bother you that you receveived a price for an item just because you had a business trip to LA but you lived in Austin? Again, according to the WSJ article:
Basing online prices on geography can make sense for various reasons, from shipping costs to local popularity of a particular item. Some retailers might naturally cluster in specific areas as well—a prosperous suburb, say—boosting the competitive pressure to discount. But using geography as a pricing tool can also reinforce patterns that e-commerce had promised to erase: prices that are higher in areas with less competition, including rural or poor areas. It diminishes the Internet's role as an equalizer.
So the next time you buy online, you may want to think about how your location plays a part in the pricing your favority online merchant shows you.

Even when it's dark and the view largely disappears, there is something particularly appealing about dining next to the water, watching the light catch the waves. There are few places where this pleasure is more available than The Wharf, which sits out in the Waitemata harbour, tucked below the bridge at Northcote.
It is one of the city's best-known venues, not always for the right reasons, as a couple of spectacular failures there loom large in the public consciousness. However, as an entertaining menu note points out, these were actually uncharacteristic blips in what was largely a long chronicle of successful operation.
For the last four years it has been operated primarily as a function venue after a total and much-needed rebuild under the direction of Stu and Semele Robertson. For a short season it opens its dining room once a week for degustation dinners designed by executive chef Justin Rimmer.
It had been a long time since we had been there and the makeover was something of an eye-opener.
The windows are even more panoramic and the décor is whip-smart while remaining comfortable. From the moment of arrival, when you are greeted effusively, it is obvious they are setting out to make this experience something a little special.
After a glass of bubbles and sitting on comfortable settees reading the history of the place, including some unbelievable menus from its former lives (crayfish farcie at $6 anyone?), we were conducted to our table.
Would the food match the superb setting? Happily, for the most part, the answer was yes. It is a bit of a stretch to advertise it at six courses when the first is a bread roll but there are plenty of pleasures in store.
The amuse-bouche was a tiny cup of crayfish bisque, rich and creamy with a hint of vanilla and brandy. This was followed by charred yellowfin tuna, beautifully plated with pickled cherries, wasabi, avocado and a tremendous soy gel. If this is the standard, bring it on, we thought and they did, with a sweet, rich confit of pork belly whose accompaniments included a blue cheese polenta, watercress and a little apple purée.
Time for a light relief with a mango sorbet refreshed with a splash of bubbles and on to the main course. Unusually for a degustation menu this provided a choice. I went for the wild venison loin from the Raukumara ranges near East Cape, which was as full of flavour as I had hoped and more extraordinarily tender than I expected. This came with beetroot endive, fava beans and a dab of foie gras butter and yams. With this side dish consisting of roast jerusalem artichokes, garlic and snow peas this was a rather more sweet root vegetable than I would have liked and a sharper contrast might have worked better.
Our other main was local John Dory with pancetta, asparagus and artichoke purée, perfectly cooked as we had come to anticipate and in generous portions for such a menu.
The rich dessert of chocolate and muscatel bread and butter pudding was a fitting conclusion, tricked out with a hazelnut meringue and a little candyfloss wig. We had gone for the wine match option and they worked well, including a couple that I did not expect would.
But if the food and wine was good, and it was, the service was even better, well schooled, alert and attentive without being intrusive and contributing significantly to a distinctive evening.

Service: 8
Value: 7
Ambience: 8
Our meal: $99 per person for the degustation menu and $55 per person for the wine match.

MIAMI -- The Chicago Cubs put together a big seventh inning to make Ryan Dempster a winner and secure a 5-1 road trip.
Two-run doubles by Alfonso Soriano and Aramis Ramirez and a three-run double by Reed Johnson sparked an eight-run seventh and the Cubs rallied past the Florida Marlins, 9-2 on Sunday.
Dempster (14-5) struck out 10 batters in six innings to win for the fourth time in six starts. He gave up two runs, the sixth straight game in which he has allowed two runs or fewer.
"It was a grind ... mentally and physically ... to bear down and make pitches," said Dempster, who worked through a sixth inning in which the Marlins scored once and seemed primed for more with runners on first and third with none out.
Dempster then struck out Mike Jacobs and Dan Uggla, and after an intentional walk, got out of the inning by getting Cody Ross to line out to center.
The Cubs, who had their nine-game road winning streak snapped with a 2-1 loss on Saturday, rebounded to win for the sixth time in seven games overall. Chicago began the day with a 4½ game lead in the NL Central.
"A 5-1 road trip -- you gotta be pleased," Cubs manager Lou Piniella said. "The position we're in, winning series is what we're shooting for."
The third-place Marlins lost for the fourth time in five games to fall 4½ games behind the New York Mets in the NL East.
"Its been a tough stretch," Marlins manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "Everybody goes through it. Well go out on the road and try to turn this thing around."
Trailing 2-0 in the seventh, the Cubs sent 12 batters to the plate.
Mike Fontenot opened with a double to right and took third on Johnson's single. Florida starter Chris Volstad was replaced by Renyel Pinto (2-5), who walked pinch-hitter Mark DeRosa.
Soriano then hit a liner to left that fell in front of diving Luis Gonzalez to go for a double that scored Fontenot and Johnson to tie the score. After Ryan Theriot grounded out, Derrek Lee was walked intentionally to load the bases.
Ramirez then smashed a 3-2 pitch to the right of third baseman Jorge Cantu to score DeRosa and Soriano for a 4-2 lead.
"Through three at-bats I didn't feel too good but I got a hit at the most important part of the game," Soriano said.
Gonzalez refused to second guess his decision to dive, which resulted in the ball bouncing away from the left fielder.
"If I make the play, its a great play. If not, like today, I'm sure somebody is going to call and say, 'You should have stayed back.' That's baseball," Gonzalez said.
Following Kosuke Fukudome's sacrifice fly and a walk to Geovany Soto, Logan Kensing replaced Pinto. Kensing walked pinch-hitter Ronny Cedeno before yielding Johnson's bases-clearing double to deep left-center that made the score 8-2.
"Those are guys that can swing the bat and hit the ball out of the park, so you never know. You want to keep tacking on runs when you play a team like that," said Johnson, whose four hits included two doubles.
Volstad was charged with two runs and six hits in six-plus innings. Pinto gave up five runs in two-thirds of an inning. It was the third straight appearance in which Pinto has allowed at least a run, and he has allowed 11 earned runs in 3 2/3 innings in August.
The Cubs' highest-scoring inning of the season was a nine-run frame against the Chicago White Sox on June 21. They now have 36 come-from-behind wins.
The Marlins runs scored on John Baker's third-inning groundout and Gonzalez's sixth-inning double.
DeRosa had a sacrifice fly in the ninth.
Florida's Jacobs and Uggla each struck out four times.
- Florida's Jeremy Hermida was 0-for-17 on the homestand before his single leading off the fifth.
- The Cubs tied a season-high with six doubles.
- Chicago is 6-0-1 in its last seven series.
- Pinto stood at his locker following the game but ignored questions asked of him.

I didn't read this Globe op-ed on "linguistic paranoia" until yesterday evening. But when I did, my sympathy for the author's goal was pretty much negated by her deeply questionable reasoning.
Nataly Kelly--"a senior analyst with Common Sense Advisory, a market research firm specializing in business globalization"--thinks Americans should learn more languages. And in advancing her argument, she invokes the Founding Fathers:
Linguistic paranoia seems to have reached unprecedented levels in
recent years, a phenomenon that would probably shock our Founding
Fathers. After all, they intentionally decided not to declare an
official language for America, knowing full well that linguistic
dominance in the world is often in flux, and that doing so could
restrict the country's ability to both compete internationally and
respond to domestic needs [emph. added].
Usually, when people cite the FF's to make a point, they bolster their case with a quote or two. Kelly doesn't.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm guessing that this is because--when the Founding Fathers decision not to make English our official language--they weren't thinking about the ephemeral nature of linguistic dominance, international competitiveness, or domestic exigencies. Instead, they probably took it for granted that everybody in the U.S. would just speak English.
Am I missing something? If not, Kelly seems to be guilty of retroactively importing her own mindset into the FF's. Which is no way to make a completely legitimate point.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Purdue University and Ford Motor Co. are teaming up to develop an advanced, onboard electronic system designed to monitor the health of aging engines and keep cars in compliance with stringent exhaust-emission standards.
Findings from the research ultimately could make possible the creation of sophisticated diagnostic systems that not only warn the driver about impending engine failures but also identify the likely sources of the problems, says Matthew Franchek, an associate professor of mechanical engineering at Purdue.
The technology works by using newly developed computer models to better control how much fuel is delivered to the engine. It has the potential to eliminate certain expensive and time-consuming steps now needed to develop electronic-fueling controls for new engines.
A paper about the fueling control research will be presented on Aug. 23, during the 5th International Symposium on Advanced Vehicle Control, a gathering of researchers specializing in automotive and rail technologies, at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
Cars equipped with modern electronic control systems are able to meet increasingly strict pollution standards by automatically adjusting how much fuel is delivered to the engine. The control system is said to "adapt" the engine fueling to changing situations, such as climbing steep hills, variations in driving speeds and sudden accelerations. At the heart of this adaptive-fueling control system are electronic chips that have been carefully programmed to deliver the right amount of fuel to the engine, depending on how much air it is using. With conventional technology, automotive technicians and engineers calibrate these chips for each line of new engines to precisely meter the amount of fuel for a wide range of driving conditions.
When this "engine mapping" process is completed, the electronic-control system will determine how much gasoline the fuel injectors will deliver to the cylinders as the car travels down a highway, idles at a red light or labors up a steep incline. The ratio of air to fuel is tightly controlled to meet emission standards regardless of the driving conditions.
"It takes a long time to map an engine," Franchek says. "There are thousands of parameters to calibrate in an engine-control system, including transmission, fueling, idle speed, diagnostics, everything that the engine does."
The control technology being developed at Purdue promises to eliminate the engine-mapping process altogether, saving time and money by using newly developed mathematical models.
In addition to the engine-mapping requirement, current technology has another drawback: as an engine ages its performance no longer matches the carefully calibrated data programmed into the electronic control system. Clogged fuel injectors, the changing performance of engine sensors and a variety of age-related factors conspire to foul up the precise fuel-to-air ratios needed to meet pollution standards, causing the car's tailpipe emissions to increase.
In an attempt to correct the emissions, conventional electronic systems try to assign a root cause of the fueling-control errors so that the system's software can adapt. Based on the root-cause assignment, the fueling control system will correct itself by changing the amount of gasoline being injected into the cylinders. Unfortunately, the root cause assigned by the system is often inaccurate. Consequently, the corrective action is wrong.
The fueling control system being developed at Purdue is now being extended to enable car makers to overcome that problem by more accurately assessing the root causes behind changing engine performance. A more accurate assessment makes the system better able to adapt to changes in aging engines, while also reducing maintenance costs by automatically keeping the engine running smoothly, Franchek says.
"In the end, the fueling software will adapt itself to deliver fueling to the correct value," says Franchek, noting that the system is designed to last over the life of the engine.

Charlie From "Lost" Gets A Job, Eats Wallet
Here's shortish Britsh actor Dominic Monaghan at the airport, with his wallet firmly in his mouth. I don't trust those security people sometimes either. Dominic played Charlie on "Lost" until….oh wait…this would be a spoiler and I know inevitably some bitch will be like, you should have put that behind a tag! And I'll be like it was on five hundred years ago. I can't help it if your friggin' Netflix queu is full up! Anyway, to avoid the drama – read on after the jump about Dominic Monaghan.

More photos of Dominic Monaghan at LAX are after the jump.
Thanks for joining us. Anyway bitch got killed on "Lost" in last season's finale. Good. He was annoying. That whole scene with the imaginary peanut butter with Claire in the very beginning made me despise him. I don't know what it was. I like peanut butter. Anyway, Dom's been cast in the new "Wolverine" solo flick starring Hugh Jackman. If you didn't already know, J. Harvey is a big ole' comic geek. And I am constantly slapped in the face with comic book movies that screw it all up for me. For example, that new flick "Wanted" with Angelina? It's a comic book about supervillains! Not assassins! Dumb Hollywood superhero-ruining bitches! Anyway, Dom's playing a character named "Beak" who was mainly comic relief in the "X-Men" book so it might work. Maybe. I mean, they have Liev Schrieber's middle-aged ass playing "Sabretooth"? How in Stan Lee's name is that going to work out? Jesus, I should have a retainer I am such a nerd.

Four Tet is a madman. Last night he (and a few friends) took over Rinse FM for a ridiculous marathon of an eight-hour show, which, for anyone who was still up at around 4am UK time, included a previously unheard, unreleased collaboration between himself and Burial. These artists are two of the best respected, most loved in electronic music, with previous collaborations sending fans into a frenzy, so it's funny to hear the deadpan way Kieran Hebden (Four Tet) says, "we never got 'round to putting it out I guess." People would kill to get their hands on this Kieran, so stop being so casual.
The track itself is as excellent as one might expect, with Burial's signature, spine-tingling vocal samples and Four Tet's weighty, bass textures again making perfect partners. Maybe make a whole album together guys? Please.
Listen to the untitled, unreleased new track below. Four Tet's new album Beautiful Rewind is out now.

Nokia goes deep in the red in the second quarter, smartphone sales collapse to 16.7 million
73 Comments
1. dionddc (Posts: 129; Member since: 19 Jul 2011)
Samsung sold at least over 19 million smartphones in Q2. How come that wasn't mentioned?
15. The_Miz (Posts: 1496; Member since: 06 Apr 2011)
Because Samsung spends their time copying Apple?
27. Victor.H (Posts: 737; Member since: 27 May 2011)
Thanks for the input, dionddc, it seems like that's only analysts' estimates for sales (and that's why it's not included, even though it sounds credible). We'd appreciate if you could share a link to any official data for that!
31. gallitoking (Posts: 4721; Member since: 17 May 2011)
.............. thats what i thought..... no link
35. 530gemini (Posts: 2198; Member since: 09 Sep 2010)
@dionddc. Samsung only sold 13 million smartphones in the last quarter, and it is stated in this article.
49. messiah (Posts: 438; Member since: 19 Feb 2010)
"it announced that it's abandoning Symbian and is adopting Windows Phone as its main platform. Since then, the company's shares have halved in value " isn't that a great testimony of how disappointing Wikndows platform is? i mean, to bring the number one company and destroy their sales in less than 6 months?
53. Heatfan316 (unregistered)
And you spend your time copying the real Miz,let me tell you something kid, Samsung put out a product that looks similar to what apple has on their home screen but when you copy something it has to be exactly the same that's what copy means in case you didn't know, maybe the Miz should file a lawsuit on you for impersonating his wresting character.Just a reminder from your friendly neighborhood troll hunter.
54. Heatfan316* (unregistered)
So heatfan.. Im copying your name but it is slightly different.. Is this not Copying? YES! Im not an Apple fan but what Miz is saying is that Samsung has pretty much "copied" the look of how the IPhone looks.. look at them side by side! Is "The Miz" copy protected? is it Trademarked? I dont think so. You should look up "copy" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copying)
And troll hunter? You like to hunt trolls? get real! Little Kid! Grow up!
60. Heatfan316 (unregistered)
And yes you are a crapple fan only an immature fanboy would talk like that. Android fans don't talk like that, this is you Miz your so immature you can't even hide it.
70. dionddc (Posts: 129; Member since: 19 Jul 2011)
Apple copied Motorola though.
The only reason they copied Apple is because Apple is s**t, and Samsung improved on their designs. That's why people are moving to Android.
71. dionddc (Posts: 129; Member since: 19 Jul 2011)
In all honesty, all those who asked for a link - this shows how dumb the community is here. I could own all you iPhone retards in an argument.
530gemini, this shows how much of an idiot you truly are.
That 13.6 million smartphones is more likely for Q1 of this year. It's Phone Arena - they always use outdated statistics to make Apple look bigger than it really is.
/2011/07/05/idUSL3E7I405420110 705
There's your link. 19 million smartphones.
Samsung is increasing way faster than Apple. The lack of research and knowledge the iOS fans have in this community is lackluster. You should learn to listen to the latest forecasts, instead of just assuming that the "last quarter" means the "latest quarter".
I hope you realise how much of a dumbass you are 530gemini, for actually believing Samsung only sold 13.6 million smartphones in Q2. That was Q1.
It shows how stupid you really are. You're still living in 2007, and you fail to see the trend. I'd wish you luck in whatever career path you're undertaking, it better not involve being smart though.
2. Mat4Maemo (unregistered)
Poor Nokia,
they invented something as unnecessary and pointless as smartphone and than came bad guys and started selling and producing them better than our heroes.
Today they struggle to survive in this wild and so mad world of cellphone industry where it is so hard to sell things which nobody really needs because others sell the same thing better.
They have to live on a broken penny, lower than my grandmother retirement rate, that is almost 17 millions a quarter.
5. ilia1986 (unregistered)
You're clearly an idiot.
First of all why on earth smartphones are useless? You're just a troll.
Second of all - for a company that used to dominate the market until 2007 - that's a huge hit. Not saying that that's not their fault - but nevertheless.
So yeah - bad news for Nokia. I just hope Apple sinks down someday as well..
18. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4888; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
From my experience with my brothers Windows Phone 7, I have to say that Nokia STILL has a fighting chance. Windows makes more money from Android phone sales than they do from their WP7. So now they can theoretically invest double the amount of money that they have been investing in WP7. Also this new Mango update includes 500 NEW features. That is truly impressive. With all that Windows is putting into WP7 & Nokia's great hardware I feel that Windows Phone 7 is primed to become something VERY strong. I think that WP7 OS is very intuitive, extremely smooth & fresh, everything that Apple's iOS is not. Nokia didn't get hurt from their hardware, they got hurt on their OS. With the feature rich WP7 OS & Nokia's great hardware, I think this combo can do some serious damage. Who knows maybe even take a bite out of Apple's pie. Maybe in the next 4 years Apple will be in Nokia's boat, because iOS is the most stagnant OS out right now. People ARE getting BORED with iOS!
20. ilia1986 (unregistered)
Exactly.. I so wish that Apple and it's iSheep burn down together..
I would like to see a future in which only open source OS would dominate. Sure, WP7 isn't quite Android - but MS actually let's people hack it and install it on devices like the HD2, unlike Apple which continues to be ignorant and arrogant about it.
25. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4888; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
Couldn't have said it any better, well maybe the burning of iSheep. Now if you meant it on a metaphorically level then yes. (Which I think you did.) If it was literal then I can't condone the burning of people even if they are iSheep. lol Just having a laugh, but I do get what you are saying though! :-)
32. gallitoking (Posts: 4721; Member since: 17 May 2011)
and now is where you two hold hands and look a the sunset... jk.. is funny how you critize Apple for not giving options to customer, and u dont want to have competition.. there is no denying that Apple set the bar high.. but we need Apple just as Batman needs the joker....
34. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4888; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
Yes & no. Apple doesn't play well with others. This mobile market was strong before Apple & will be after Apple. I think that if Windows steps up & makes a difference in the mobile game then the market will keep getting stronger. Apple is a company who succeeded because they stole ideas from other corporations. Apple infringed on Nokia's patents & became what they are now because of it. How can Apple be allowed to have any patents of their own when these new patents they have, resulted from patents stolen from Nokia? Nokia didn't resort to banning Apple, they just make them pay royalties. Apple is trying to ban because they fear the competition. At one time Apple was the very best phone out. That is not the case anymore. Apple knows this & that is why they want to ban HTC & Samsung. If they win the banning of course then they will go after Motorola, & LG because they too have better phones than Apple at this moment. So we really don't need Apple. The mobile market is too healthy with or with out Apple!
39. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4888; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
Ohh I forgot my DC comics reference. The mobile market is Superman & Apple is kryptonite. All we need is to get rid of the kryptonite & Superman will be as he always was & will be in the future, STRONG! I know you will like that one gallitoking!
40. 530gemini (Posts: 2198; Member since: 09 Sep 2010)
@ilia. I'm sure Apple will sink someday. But with Apple's billions, you'd probably be dead by then. I guess you won't be resting in peace :)
43. 530gemini (Posts: 2198; Member since: 09 Sep 2010)
@superfandroidevo. Here he goes again with his relatives, lol.
You said that the iphone is not intuitive, not smooth, and not fresh. Wow, those are exactly the core things that made the iphone a huge success, lol.
What? Nokia didn't get hurt on their hardware but only on their OS? They lost money. I think that would hurt them as a whole, lol.
What? iOS is a stagnant os? So you mean to say that iOS from 2007 and iOS5 are the same? People are getting bored with iOS, but they're growing and growing and has a 70% user satisfaction. Wow, the facts really support your findings, lol. Nice one superfandroidevo.
45. ngo2dd (Posts: 896; Member since: 08 Jul 2011)
Ya and iOS user are the dumbest of all the users. 38% of them believe that have a 4g phone? So what is your point?
46. 530gemini (Posts: 2198; Member since: 09 Sep 2010)
@superfandroidevo. WP is stepping up alright, and that will be the demise of android :)
Android is the one that stole everything from iOS. That's the only reason why people are buying android devices. Coz it's just like the iphone, but it's cheaper, and is more open. Apple pays for licensing fees, unlike google who just rips off ideas from Apple.
What? Nokia didn't resort to have Apple products banned? Then how would you explain this.
Hahaha. Nokia was the one who tried to have Apple products banned first, not the other way around. So I guess Nokia was afraid of Apple, and they should :)
You don't know what you're talking about. Shame, shame, shame :)
47. 530gemini (Posts: 2198; Member since: 09 Sep 2010)
@ngo2dd. The reason that some ip4 users believe that their iphone4 is a 4g phone, is because of its name iphone 4. And also because it works so well, comparable to any 4g phones :)
48. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4888; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
iOS was fresh & intuitive in 2007, NOT 2011. You are stuck on 2007 let's move on to the present ok. iOS 5 is the same sh*t just a different number. What they got iCloud something that have been out now for an eternity considering how FAST the mobile market moves. Also the new notification in iOS 5 is another thing that has been done by Android & to open the camera from the lock screen is a been there done that feature from Windows Phone 7. So from the sound of it Apple's iOS 5 is the same iOS from 2007 just with blatant copies from other OS's. Windows Phone 7 Mango update has 500 new features. Now that is an update! The 70% satisfaction rate are from the very new people who just got their iPhones this past 2 quarters & from the same dumb people who think the iPhone 4 is 4G. lol I never believe those stupid customer satisfaction ratings. I believe real world stats like how Android is #1 on the mobile market & how now Android has 30% of the tablet market in less than a year. From those numbers Android tablets have a higher saturation rate in the tablet market than Android phones had on the mobile market at the same time in its life time as Honeycomb has now. Those are impressive numbers not some stupid survey done on user satisfaction. lol All the people that are starting to get out of their 2 year contracts with the Apple iPhone want the best phone on the market, just like they did when the signed their contracts 2 years ago. Guess what 530gemini the Apple iPhone 4 is not the best phone out there. So if the trend holds up they most definitely won't get an iPhone 4 when they are so many dual-core phones out there. By the time Apple figures out how NOT to make their dual-core chips melt the iPhone, Android will start releasing quad-core tablets & a few months later quad-core phones. lol How about that for facts!
50. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4888; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
That was in 2010 last year when Nokia was desperate because Apple gobbled all their market share. In 2007 Nokia didn't need to resort to that because they were the king of the mobile market. Nice try though. I know exactly what I am talking about. Apple is king now but they are scared & want to eliminate competition because they can't make the better products anymore. That is cowardly & weak. lol Apple infringed on Nokia's patents thus the patents that Apple came up with a result should not count. If Apple can do it and become the behemoth that it is, why can't anyone else do it? Why is it good for Apple but not good for everyone else. It's a very hypocritical thing. Kind of like how hypocritical iSheep are! Dude I love how this is a Nokia article yet you 530gemini can make this an Android vs. Apple thing. lol
51. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4888; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
Yeah an iPhone 4 is in the same league as any 4G phone, sure. lol That is funnier that the stupid Apple owners who think an iPhone 4 is 4G. lol

Racing has been on hiatus in Maryland since late May. Live action will go to the end of the year, with a seven day stay for the Maryland State Fair. The autumn session contains two huge days on the racing calendar, the Maryland Million on September 26th and the Grade I DeFrancis Dash on October 24th.
Five 3-year-old Maryland-breds will meet on the turf in the 1-1/16th mile Finney Stakes. The program favorite is Winthrop House (8-5), who is training in New York under Kiaran McLaughlin
"We think the race is a good fit," said assistant-trainer Artie Magnuson. "He ran the other day in a one, other than. He needed the race and we came away happy. He was tired but he came out of it super. Even last year we we're talking about going in Maryland-bred races with him."
Winthrop House, in his only try at the distance in November, finished third but ahead of Lime Rickey, who placed in Grade II and Grade III stakes after that start.
Winthrop House will carry Luis Garcia. Their chief competitor is Music City (5-2), who led to the stretch in his first try on the turf against stakes company. Friskie J (7-2), Ham And Ernie (9-2) and Target Sighted (8-1) complete the line-up.

Electro-Voice XLC shines at Boys & Girls Clubs of America fundraiser
The evening's program included awards presentations and special guest speakers, including Bruce Pearl, Men's Basketball Coach at the University of Tennessee, and raised over $128,000. By all accounts, GravelRoad's system-built around 16 XLC boxes with low-end support via eight Xsubs-raised the bar for sound at the venue, as Slade Bumgardner, V.P. of Audio/Visual Systems, GravelRoad explained:
"What sets the XLC apart from the other line arrays out there? It offers a perfect balance of clarity, warmth, and raw power. EV equipment is great for vocals, and they've reached a new high point with DVX woofers. This rig really shines at speaking events like this; however, for concert events, it has all the power handling you need to add a ton of punch to the equation. It's very flexible. The XLC is also super-easy to fly, which the crew loves. That saves us time, meaning we can focus on the show."
Even though this was a regionally focused event, there were national Boys & Girls Clubs representatives present, and it was important for the organizers that the audio visual production be excellent. Bumgardner adds, "After the show they told us that the audio quality had never been higher at one of their events. They loved the way the EV RE-2 wireless mic's sounded, they loved the EV stage monitors, and they loved the main PA. A number of venue employees also told us that they'd never heard the room sound so good, and they've had national acts performing there for the past 20 years. That's the kind of feedback we like to hear after a show, and it affirms our investment in EV."

U guys checked out the FFA matches of the Big2Krew tourney? Some awesome players and really REALLY awesome moments in the games. I think the 4th group was the best, Benjamin_bkn and the Ticemack guy, and some salomon guy... Superb nade throws and throwbacks. Amazing stuff.
dbarkar99,saanthi92,Benjamin_bkn,Ticemack3,Zanick these guys have been the best players consistently.how omg lost with saanti92,sergiopro13 and keri_keri in their team is a mystery.

OBW = One Block Wonder = a hexagonal design made with only one fabric (Stack'N'Whack style) which are then sewn together without sashing. The fabric is what makes or breaks the outcome, IMHO.Originally Posted by AnnT
Double Duh! Thanks for the explanation.
Remember, no question is too stupid to ask but it is dumb not to ask a question about something you don't understand or have never heard of. That's how we all learn!!!
WOW now I want to do that - I just purchased the books from somebody on the board.
Can't wiat till I can start.
You just make half hexagons. Pin 2 together to make a whole while you finalize your arrangement. Then sew half hexagons together into long strips. Carefully remove them one at a time from your design wall, pin together each pair as you go. Take them to your machine and chain piece them together. Clip apart, press seams open, then replace on design wall. Then go to the next strip and do the same. When you have all the strips made, then start sewing 2 together, replace on wall when done sewing together, so you don't get your arrangement mixed up. By this time you should be able to see how it's going to look and not get them mixed up. I always put a safety pin on the top half hexagon of each strip (just to make sure I don't flip a strip around). Then sew two strips sets together, until they are all sewn into one big piece. If you've been pressing your seam allowances open all along, it will go together rather nicely.Originally Posted by Stormy Days
Some people assemble the hexagons and then sew them, but I find that difficult. I sew half hexagons, do my layout, keeping my hexagons together, then I sew them in strips.Originally Posted by Stormy Days
I am working on my FIRST stack and whack! Please check out my photos.....something is wrong! They are not going to sew together properly....looks too small. I used a Quilt Sense triangle cutting on the 5 in line. Maybe not the correct template??? Help, please.
Thanks to you and to cutebuns for the tute. First time I have seen something that I could totally understand how to make this block.
wow , I love OBW but never knew where to start. Now I know and I think It might have to waite on my things to do list. Might be just me but it looks very very hard.maybe someday. Nice Tute. thanks
To misoop,
I have the feeling that the ruler you are using is not a 60 degree ruler. That is the angle that has to be cut to make these fit together ... 6 pieces to make a 360 degree circle would make the needed pieces at 60 degrees. Hope this helps and hope you did not cut all your fabric with this ruler!!!

How do you create a point system?
Hi, I am trying to create a point system based off of the number of npcs that you kill. I was wondering if this was possible with a math_counter (when you kill an enemy npc the counter increases by a certain amount).
And if this is possible, I want these "points" to be spendable.
EX: You use a func_button (or trigger etc.) to spawn a weapon that costs a certain amount of points, thus when the button is triggered it subtracts the number from the counter (then obviously if you don't have enough points the button will not produce the desired weapon when pressed).
I am sure there are many ways to go about doing this. Any method that would work I would be glad to hear.

Quick question, which game would this be for? Assuming it's for a singleplayer game I'll have a go at creating something to do the job this evening and upload an example for you (assuming I'm successful)

You can use logic_compare to create a wicked system of various prices using the math_counters' outvalue and the logic_compare's setvalue or setvaluecompare (so you can make it disable a certain trigger to buy a gun when the math_counter is below 100 and enable that trigger when it is above) etc.

Ok had some success with creating this system! You start with just a crowbar with every zombie you kill being worth one point. Your point tally is shown on a 7 segment display in front of you and the zombies will continue to spawn until you kill all 30 of them (for the first round). Once they are all dead the 3 buttons can be used to buy weapons of various prices with the 7 segment display updating after you purchase a weapon. You can then hit the restart wave button (the one on the back wall) to start a new wave (each new wave adds 10 more zombies to the total). Obviously this is just a test of a principle and isn't at all optimised for good gameplay, it's also ugly as hell.
Here's a download link for the vmf anyway
Here's a boring overly long-winded explanation of how it actually works (this WILL be tl;dr):
Total Kills Tracking:
The zombies are spawned by 3 separate npc_template_makers which spawn 1 NPC at a time. This allows them to fire off an OnAllLiveChildrenDead output to add 1 to the points total (obviously you could allow more alive children for a harder game and just add more than 1 to the total each time). The overall points total itself is controlled by a simple math_counter with no boundaries.
7 Segment Display:
The display itself is controlled by a math_counter for the units with a max value of 10, every time a spawner fires the OnAllLiveChildrenDead output, 1 is added to the math_counter. This counter then adds one to the tens counter every time it hits it's max value and also resets itself to 0. The actual changes in the 7 segment display are all handled by a logic_case; every time the math_counter updates it fires its value to the logic_case which then determines which brushes to enable/disable based on the value (this was very tedious to set-up and could probably be improved).
Wave End Tracker:
This is just a simple math_counter with a max value of 3, each time one of the 3 NPC spawners is exhausted it adds one to this counter and when the counter hits a max value it displays text to the player and unlocks the shop buttons and the round reset button.
Round Reset Button:
This is also very simple, it adds 10 to each of the spawners and then re-enables them (they have to be re-enabled to start spawning again after being exhausted). It then adds a further 10 to their total so that each round becomes progressively harder.
Weapon "Shops":
The weapon spawning itself just uses point_templates and an env_entity_maker to spawn the weapons, a logic_compare checks the your points total is > the weapon's price and if it is the weapon is spawned. The hard part comes with updating the 7 segment display and this is arguably where this particular system kind of falls down in terms of simplicity of adding new weapons etc. Basically if the weapon's price is < 10 then its price gets passed to another logic_compare, this checks the price against how many "units" you have on the counter. If the units are > the price then it simply updates the units math_counter. However, if it's <= to the price then we have to do a couple more steps, first we add 10 - weapon price to the units and then we take 1 from our tens counter to do the subtraction.
For example, we have a pointsTotal of 23 and want to buy a weapon with a price of 7, a simple bit of subtraction tells us the answer should be 16 but when your tens and units are split into 2 separate values you need to add an extra calculation so: 10 - 7 = 3 therefore 23 + 3 = 26 therefore 26 - 10 = 16.
Apologies if that explanation was actually more confusing than helpful or didn't even make grammatical sense... Anyway, hope this helps!

Thanks. This helped a lot. The npc spawning, point system and weapon purchasing all works flawlessly and smoothly. But like you mentioned the point counter does seem a little "tedious". I was hoping to display the number of points wherever a player went throughout the map (on the HUD for example), nevertheless it's a good start. And thanks for the help. I will try to work out this point display issue and keep you posted (if I actually find a better solution).
Nice work and once again, thanks.
PS: And no the explanation was not confusing and was most definitely helpful. I really appreciate the detail. Every bit helps.

Sturtevant first repeated the work of Warhol only a few months after his first exhibition of flower screenprints in New York in 1964. Warhol would famously say when asked about the meaning of his work, 'I don't know, ask Elaine Sturtevant.'
Photo: © 2013 Jerry Hardman-Jones, courtesy Serpentine Gallery
There's something wonderfully ironic about Marcel Duchamp being aped by Sturtevant. The original, made in 1920 by the master of the readymade to replicate a traditional French window, becomes pointedly unoriginal in the hands of the doyenne of duplication.
Image © 2013 Jerry Hardman-Jones, courtesy Serpentine Gallery
Back in 2000, Félix González-Torres's light work was shown in his solo exhibition at the Serpentine. Repeated in a different formation, Sturtevant's version plays on the Cuban artist's idea of using everyday materials in simple configurations that anyone could copy – and expands on his themes of ownership and consumption.
Photograph: Loren Muzzey; © 2013 Sturtevant; courtesy Serpentine Gallery
We live in an age of image proliferation. Visual media constantly bombards us across multiple platforms, from print and television to computers and mobile phones. Even before the internet paved the way for sharing – and repeating – information, American artist Sturtevant (professionally, she drops the Elaine) was mimicking the work of her contemporaries, with machine-like precision.
Entering this 83 year-old's first UK retrospective feels as if you're in the main processing hub of the world wide web. The gallery pulsates with clubbing beats and images whirr past you. At the beginning of her career in the mid-1960s, Sturtevant showed gumption as she cheekily copied the work of Pop Art greats like Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns and Roy Lichtenstein. Later she turned her attention to the more conceptually minded likes of Marcel Duchamp, Joseph Beuys and Félix González-Torres. The fact she repeats the works of male artists is, she claims, coincidental and not deliberate.
What is deliberate is her choice of artists who lifted their imagery from pre-existing sources. Sturtevant doesn't regard her pieces as copies or homages but artworks in their own right. During her formative years as an artist, theorists were questioning authorship and although the philosophical and conceptual concerns of eminent thinkers like Gilles Deleuze frame her practice, they don't stifle the work or alienate the viewer.
This is a welcome introduction to an artist who in her ninth decade is still at the top of her game. Maybe as a generation of You Tube uploaders, we're more engaged with the concept of appropriation, so her video works collaging TV footage in a slideshow manner are more relevant than ever.
The repeated image of an owl plastered all over the first gallery comes from a royalty-free website and emulates the type of reuse that's rife on the internet. Sturtevant even refashions parts of her own previous work. Parts of the film 'Elastic Tango' reappear in two 'Rock & Rap' video projections, creating a rhythmic loop.
So, from the multiple blow-up male sex dolls peering out at unsuspecting walkers in Hyde Park to the reimagining of the exhibition catalogue as a flip book, this show invites you experience works that continually refresh the idea of repetition. For a generation of retweeters, Sturtevant is the ultimate re-posting pioneer.

To be honest, I found this exhibition rather shallow, uninspiring and uninspired. The outdoor structure besides the gallery is outstanding, btw I strongly recommend the Blumenfeld one (at Somerseth House) you mention in your site, anyway. Thanks for that hint, it turned out to be impressive, allow yourself a good hour to appreciate it.

No experience, want to find a compact pistol, with external safety and DA, I understand Bersas are like that, any others?
I've heard the bersas like to jam. Hearsay though. On the other hand I've heard nothing but good things about Walther and they should provide you with those options. But have to say A snub nose DA .357 may be the way to go. If you are worried about the scary magnum factor, you also have the option of shooting .38's through it.
Me again. Beretta makes some compact pistols with the DA and external safety feature. And are fairly priced. i.e the Bobcat and the Tomcat. The Bobcat being in .22 caliber and the Tomcat in 32 auto if you want a little extra punch.
Somebody familiar with the CZ Rami? I understand is DA/SA and have external safety. Looking for 9mm
I too have been searching for the same type weapon so I can tell you want I have seen so far. I actually own a Bersa Thunder Concealed Carry .380 that classifies as a subcompact - very reliable weapon. It has a decocker/external safety that allows you to decock the hammer once you chamber a round and then acts as a safety that must be moved to the fire position before you can engage the trigger. So with that done your first shot is DA, and all subsequent shots will be SA - unless you stop and decock. Now beyond that, Kahr just recently added a safety to one version of their PM9 to meet MA and CA requirements - and that is a true DAO (double action only). It is a nice 9mm, but it may be very, very difficult to find a PM9 so configured. In 9mm you can also check out the Taurus 709 and Sccy CPX-1. The Sccy is also a true DAO with an external safety, and I believe the Taurus is similar to my Bersa where the first shot is DA and subsequent ones are SA. Hope this helps. Except for the Kahr I have mentioned fairly inexpensive handguns. Good luck.
Go to a shooting range that rents pistols by the hour, and try everything that you can afford to rent. Then buy the pistol that was the most comfortable and controllable in your own hands.
Our comfort areas and needs are different from yours, so our recommendations are almost meaningless. Recommendations should only be used to choose between two (or more) pistols that fit you well, and they have validity only about reliability, not personal fit.
I strongly suggest against getting a compact pistol as your first. Smaller pistols are hard to learn, and difficult to use effectively and well. Start with a heavy, full-size pistol and learn technique. Then you might want to "trade down" to a compact or smaller.
The key to success in the process of learning to shoot defensively and well is practice. Practice, practice, and then practice some more. Go slowly and try for smoothness. Speed comes only with extensive, slow, smooth practice.
I have to recognize that the light pull and no safety spook me a little.
So far I like the PPS for easy carry, and the Beretta subcompact for fit and amount of rnds and manual safety
Lived in New Jersey and have no problems to carry a revolver, but here in Florida, if the temperature is 85.....Thanksgiving is around the corner
Single-action semi-autos are much easier to shoot accurately and effectively than double-action revolvers. Reloads are easier and quicker, too.
It won't be long before you are comfortable with the idea of a light, crisp trigger pull and a mechanical safety device. All it takes is practice to achieve comfortable familiarity.
Have fun!
I will have to agree with what Steve said....you can read all you want on the web but there is no substitute for actually shooting any firearm...you may find out the hard way the gun you thought was exactly what you wanted was not that at all...its all about what works best for you and not what the crowd is telling you to do...If you had the cash, and could lay out 6 different similar guns from different makers, and then shoot them all, I can guarantee one or two would stick out as shooting and feeling the best....thats a good place to start, although as you shoot more you may become enlightened and start requiring different things from your gun....
That being said, going with what you want in your original post, I would take a look at the S&W M&P compact, nice gun for not alot of money....made in the USA, lots to like about it.
The idea of no external safety scared me as well, until.... I bought a DOA S&W M&P 40. The trigger safety is actually a very safe feature. For example, you can have a loaded mag in it and if the unwanted situation arrives all you have to do is slap the slide back. If that is too much time for you then you can probably trust the DOA trigger safety with a chambered round. Cops across the U.S do. The nice thing about a trigger safety (Glocks, Smiths, and Springfield XD's) in concealment there shouldn't much interruption with the trigger so it should be trustworthy. Go try out some Glock's XD's, M&P's, and others in compact format and find what fits you best. You may find your aesthetic desires are not needed.

I wish there was a way to try out any number of holsters by actually carrying them before buying. I already have two of five I have purchased that I know I don't want any more. Never heard of a holster rental service, and so many holsters to choose from... Maybe there is a market niche to be filled???
One more option would be the Rock Island Armory .45. One of the major gun auction sites has a GI Standard for 379.00 "buy it now" price, and if you use that option, they will pay shipping. Do a search for RIA and look for pistols listed from Bellshire guns. They may not be as pretty as a Smith or Kimber, but they work just as well. I have an RIA Compact Tactical, and it's a great little gun. Also, their customer service is AWESOME!
