Bethany actually sounds like this
January 29th, 2011
Language has always fascinated me, in both written and spoken forms. I love listening to people with accents different from mine, and especially people who are native English speakers from a different part of the world than me. When Erin and I spent two weeks traveling around Great Britain in 1998, one of our favorite pastimes was comparing vocabularies with the people we were visiting ("That jumper looks really smart on you." "Smart!? How can a sweater look smart?" "I just mean it looks good, it looks lovely. Why, how would you say it?" "We'd say it looks sharp." "Sharp!? How can a jumper look sharp?" etc.)
My friend Jill posted a short video of herself on her blog Jill Will Run, reading a list of words and answering some questions with regional-specific answers. She saw it done first at Healthy Tipping Point. I thought it was a really fun idea, so I made a video of my own. I can do that, now that we have electricity in our house again, after a snowstorm knocked out our power Wednesday night (along with thousands of other people in the DC metro) and we were without power for 47 hours. I'm wallowing in the luxury of having electricity again, and being able to do things like make videos and upload them to the internet.
Just for background, I was born and grew up in Omaha, Nebraska. When I was 21, I married Troy and moved to San Diego. Since then, I've lived in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada; Virginia Beach, Virginia; Tempe, Arizona; Southern Maryland; San Diego again; and the Washington, DC, metro area. I tend to pick up accents and regional expressions wherever I live. By the time we left Ottawa, I was saying "eh?" at the end of a lot of sentences, and then I picked up "y'all" when we lived in Virginia Beach. Someone listening to me during that time would have been very confused about where I was from.
bethany actually sounds like this – the accent vlog from bethany actually on Vimeo.
Wow. Watching this video, I was struck with how much I really do resemble my brother, not just in looks but in facial expressions and speech patterns. Also, I can see more clearly how much Annalie looks like me when I watch videos of myself. Weird.
Anyway! Here's the list of words:
Aunt, Route, Wash, Oil, Theater, Iron, Salmon, Caramel, Fire, Water, Sure, Data, Ruin, Crayon, Toilet, New Orleans, Pecan, Both, Again, Probably, Spitting image, Alabama, Lawyer, Coupon, Mayonnaise, Syrup, Pajamas, Caught
And here are the questions:
- What is it called when you throw toilet paper on a house?
- What is the bug that when you touch it, it curls into a ball?
- What is the bubbly carbonated drink called?
- What do you call gym shoes?
- What do you say to address a group of people?
- What do you call the kind of spider that has an oval-shaped body and extremely long legs?
- What do you call your grandparents?
- What do you call the wheeled contraption in which you carry groceries at the supermarket?
- What do you call it when rain falls while the sun is shining?
- What is the thing you change the TV channel with?
Do you have a special name for rain falling while the sun is shining? I don't know a term for that, but I do have a rain term that as far as I know is specific to my family: when it's raining so hard that the drops of rain are creating circular ripples and then bouncing back up, my family calls that raining ballerinas, because if you squint it kind of looks like a ballerina with a tutu. I think my brother or I called it that years ago, and it just stuck for some reason.
Feel free to play along. If you do, please let me know in the comments where you post your videos so I can watch them! If you don't feel like making a video, just tell me about a weird regionalism of yours.

This is fun! I kind of want to do it, but I'm afraid I'll do a lot of derrrr or nervous laughter. I was thinking about the caramel even before you said it because I thought if I was reading I would say caramel, but if I was talking about it I would say carmel.
Awesome! I think this is such an interesting game! I'm the same way on my pronunciations with route and caramel. And I'm glad you mentioned the "Hey Ya'll" possibility, because honestly I was curious as to what that question could possibly be referring to.
I've been seeing this around… I always find these things interesting — especially from being a Yankee living in the south! it was like entering a different world when I moved down here (especially in Kentucky… even though that's further north than Nashville, most people in Nashville are from other places so it doesn't always seem as "southern"). I've changed the way I talk a lot, I became pretty self conscious of my northern Illinois accent for awhile… but as soon as I go home I embrace it (like calling it pop! — I was just talking about this today at work… I no longer call it that. took me 8+ years). however, all my southern friends think I still have such a strong accent! I say all my words almost like you but not crayon! :) and it drives me crazy down here b/c they call TPing "rolling" — the first time I heard someone say they "rolled a house" I was *completely* confused! haha! oh, and I think some people call them sunshowers.
What a clever vlog idea! Now I want to do it, hehe! I'm on holiday from work for a week though so I either have to find someplace to upload, or wait until I'm back at the office.
I don't think we do the toilet-papering the house thing. Everywhere here has high walls and gates so that's a bit dull to tee-pee. But I've lived in the states enough to know what its called…my regions are all confuzzled!
Ooh, I like this – I shall do it today. I've absorbed all kinds of Americanisms from the blogging world, so some of my vocabulary can be rather international.
that's cool!
it's actually nice to hear your voice!
and well, since i'm not a native speaker, i won't do it…guess you wouldn't understand a word :)
How cool! Believe it or not you sound just like I expected you to. How weird is that?!
BTW … a special name for rain falling while the sun is shining = Sun Shower … thought I would pass that along.
Well, I'm not going to do this one myself. I have a very weird and inconsistent accent and I'm pretty self-conscious about my speech. Even before I'd been anywhere else, people didn't believe I was from Southern Ontario.
The jumper conversation is baffling to me because I understand "smart" and "sharp" as intended, but I never called a sweater a jumper until I lived in the UK.
Madge, I find your "derrrr" interesting in this context because I always read that as the British spelling of "duhhhh" (like they always write "er" over here but say "uh;" pardon my North American bias), so it suggests you may have a UK (or Kiwi, Aussie, SA, etc) background, but then again, because we have so many written conversations across borders, I think that there is probably now a recognized North American "derrrr" and "er."
Are the oval spiders with really long legs actually spiders? Because that sounds like (what I call) a daddy long-legs to me, which I'm informed is a mite. But I've always lived fairly far into the Northern Hemisphere and my spider experience is reasonably limited.
Being Canadian, I have strong American and British influences to my language, and after a decade in England it's even more mixed up. I now have to decide whether to say trousers or pants, aluminum or aluminium, remote, TV changer, or flipper…diaper or nappy…on a case-by-case basis.
Sorry for going on. You'd think I'd have time to write something on my own blog if I can fill up other people's comment pages like this.
[...] toy knitting machine, but didn't have time to take it out of its box), I found an interesting post from Bethany in my feed reader this morning, talking about [...]
I'm not going to do it because I really hate being reminded of how my voice sounds when recorded, and I also switch between regionalisms depending on where I am.
But the top commenter saying "Derrr" and subsequent comments have cleared up something I never understood about Bridget Jones's Diary – her mother always says "Derrr" and I couldn't understand why. Now I realise she was actually saying "Duh", which makes so much more sense. (We Irish enunciate our r's, unlike the Brits.) I'm familiar with "er" as an "um" sort of sound, because if you write it "eh" it looks like the Canadian sort of "eh", but it didn't occur to me to extrapolate that to Derrr.
If that makes any sense to anyone other than me.
I think if I'd do this I'd sound a lot like you. Must be the mid-western roots.
I went to Sarah's site and watched her too. Waiting to see which other Flickr Friends take the plunge. Sonja? :)
(I'd like to but I need to figure out how to 1-record a video on the laptop and B-upload it)
I love this idea! I think I pronounce most of those words the same as you do – except route. It's always "root" with me. I don't think I'll post a video because I am WAY too self-conscious to do such a thing. One day I will have to try to get over that.
One weird thing that Saskatchewan people do, is they call a hoodie a "bunny hug". I have NO IDEA WHY. I laughed the first time I heard it and thought they were kidding, but no, they do it here in Saskatoon, they do it in Regina, and they do it in Caronport where I went to Bible school. I will not conform though, it is a HOODIE.
Here in the south, when the sun is shining while it's raining, people say the devil is beating his wife. I have no idea where this came from, I mostly hear older people saying it. I'm not particularly fond of the phrase!
too shy to video, but some comments. Lived all my life in Texas, but Mom was a military brat and was born and bred yankee, before traveling to the Philipines and then back to Texas.
I too, say Aunt=ant. But I have to admit, that when I heard you say the word, I had no idea you meant the sister of one of your parents. the brain picture was automatically of a little red bug and I wondered why there was any question. (grin)
Route = root if I am talking about a hwy as in Root 66. But is r-out if I am talking about something like a country postal route (i.e. Route 2 Box 3)
Fire = my mom's yankee way was kind of like FI ure (making a 1 syllable word in to two syllables). But a lot of Texans say it more like far with a semi long I sound with a very short or staccato sound.
Caramel is always Carmul; Instead of crayon, I would say color. New Orlee unsins; pecan= short i, a like in what piCAN;
Answers to questions.
*wrap a house.
*doodle bug (Like Brenda's daughter)
*coke (doesn't matter if it is Coke, Dr. Pepper, Pepsie, Sprite or 7-up. It is coke.
the female gender in Texas would probably say "tennies"
*If it is an informal group of people, and I am trying to get their attention, then I would generally say,
Hey ya'll or Hey guys (whether it was male, female or mixed.
*Maw & Paw (but they were old farmers, so that might have influenced it).
*I'll say, "I am going to get a cart", but I will tell my grandson, "let's get you in the buggy"
*"it's sprinkling" when the rain falls while the sun is shining.
Has anybody ever used the word "counterpayne" for "bedspread/comforter" that was another Mama turn of phrase.
A neat idea and lovely to hear your voice. You sound the same as I remember from grade school. I said the words aloud to myself before watching the video, and I anticipated that we'd be the same since we're both from Omaha…yup, exactly the same.
I was worried your travels would lead you to a word other than "cart" – but thanks for sticking to your midwestern roots on that one! ha! Now that I've lived in Denver for 17 years, I slip sometimes and call it a buggie.
Ditto. You sound exactly like me.
Very interesting topic! And always talked about at our house because I'm from Minnesota and married a Canadian and now live in Canada. Eh? I say eh all the time now. Once you've lived in 2 countries you sound weird to EVERYONE! But I've mostly lost my Minnesota accent, except my family says I go right back into it when I talk to my sister! Minnesotans have a distinct accent. Words that are said differently here: roof, block, route, again, pants, semi (semee here), caramel (I always said carmel before), syrup, and here you don't call a jump rope a jump rope – it's a skipping rope! And don't call a candy bar a candy bar – it's a chocolate bar here. Many others, but they don't come to mind right now…
Funny story – we were first married and driving around Winnipeg. I noticed that some city blocks had really short sides (now I realize that it was just in that certain area of the city) and said "Your blocks are really short here." He thought I said the "blacks" are short here. We had a few misunderstandings!
Pretty cool hearing what you sound like! I think your voice is deeper than I imagined, but not by much. I may have to do this…even though I'm not a huge fan of photographing or video taping myself.
I don't really think you sound much different than most of the people here in my little area of Ontario. Granted we say eh?! a lot. I'll post another comment if I decide to join in on the fun.
I love this one too. I did the video last week and then totally forgot to do a post about it (duh) so thanks for reminding me!
Here's my video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0R75LTv3YqU
Y'all — I say it without thinking.
Yellow — apparently I say "Yella"
Cool video; nice to hear your voice again. ;)
I don't have a way to record my voice…I'm not tech savvy like the rest of you. :) But I thought I'd answer the questions as phonetically as I can, being from SoDak and all…
* What is it called when you throw toilet paper on a house? TPing
* What is the bug that when you touch it, it curls into a ball? Pill Bug, Gross
* What is the bubbly carbonated drink called? Pop, though I do sometimes switch to Soda; My boss and I also call it "Orange Whip" just for fun
* What do you call gym shoes? Running shoes, but I think this is here because I've heard them called "trainers"
* What do you say to address a group of people? After visiting friends in Texas, I'll use "Hi y'all" but usually I'm just a "hey"
* What do you call the kind of spider that has an oval-shaped body and extremely long legs? Daddy Long Legs
* What do you call your grandparents? Dead. Oh, that was mean. No, generally it was just grandma and grandpa
* What do you call the wheeled contraption in which you carry groceries at the supermarket? Cart
* What do you call it when rain falls while the sun is shining? "A great time to run"
* What is the thing you change the TV channel with? Remote, though sometimes I call it a "Clicker" or "give me that thing!"
Oh and I call my "Aunt" awnt…not ant. I'm weird like that. But I do have the same issue with route and caramel as you. :) Must be a midwestern thing.
Hello! I am a follower of your blog, and never usually comment on stuff… but felt like taking part in the questions!
I am from Glasgow, in Scotland. Accents and words differ so much here, not only between Scotland & England, but just between Glasgow, and Edinburgh!
Even just the way Glasgow is pronounced… In England it is pronounced (phonetically) "Glausgow" (fairly posh), in the slightly better off areas of Glasgow it is pronounced "Glazgoe" and it the rougher areas its "Glezgay".
so the questions…
-well, we don't Toilet paper houses over here, so i reckon we'd just call toilet papering a house??
-i'm not actually sure what this is… sorry, rubbish – we only really get midgies in scotland!
- Ginger or juice or fizz
- gutties (pronounced without the "t"s! kida like gu'ies?)
- "alright?" or "Hows it going?"
- daddy long legs
- Granny (i don't have any grandads, but thats what i'd call them!)
- trolly
- i don't really have a specific word for this!
- the bleeper mostly, but occasionally just the remote, and sometimes the bleep bleep or the thingy!
would like to do the a video cause it would be fin, but dont have a web cam! :(
Rosie. x
I love this meme a lot! I'm from just north of Boston and we have a few weird things.
We call water fountains "bubblers" – the old ones used to bubble straight up instead of having an arch!
We call milkshakes "frappes" – pronounced frap.
We call chocolate sprinkles "jimmies" – actually a racist term referring to the Jim Crow Laws, but I'm not sure how many people know that.
I moved to Charleston, SC for school and am dating a South Carolinian and people say I am getting a southern drawl – which I love, ha!
Dude. I am so gonna do this.
Totally going to try this. When we lived in Philadelphia all the foster kids that I case managed laughed and laughed at my goofy Midwestern accent. They made me say "water" and "table" and "caramel" over and over.
I'll try and give this a go later if I can figure out how to upload video onto the blog that I very rarely use.
Also….rain while the sun is out. Here we call it a sunshower.
[...] a comment » After I visited Bethany's Blog and saw her Accent Vlog, I though it would be fun to make a video also. I was a little afraid of [...]
I made one! I didn't even say, "derrrrrr"
[...] the cool kids are doing [...]
I'd kind of like to try this… maybe if my webcam decides to cooperate with me later :) Also, I think your "y'all" sounds natural enough!
Additionally, whenever it would "sprinkle" rain here in Alabama, my grandparents would say "it's diddlin' rain outside." I wonder if that's what they were looking for, too…
I rock a very stereotypically Canadian accent, right down to the multipurpose "Eh?!" I'd pronounce some of it different.
Caramel = care-ah-mel
Data = dah-tah, not day-tah.
Pecan = PEE-can, with emphasis on the first syllable
It's always pop, never soda. Gym shoes are runners to me. Rain in the sun is a sun shower. My mom likes to call the remote a clicker, but that's slang more than a term. I can't say y'all to save my life.
Lets see if I can come up with some Canadian slang. We call it homo (short for homogenized) milk, I think Americans say whole milk. We say hydro, not power. We call a case of beer a two-four (24 beers in a case). OH! Someone told me the other day that saying "Jesus Murphy!" is a really Canadian thing too. Random.
And as always, we refuse to say "out" or "about" in the presence of Americans. For some reason, my accent on those words REALLY excites people.
Fun post!
I've just uploaded my own version! Tumblr video upload was being a bit funny so I hope it uploaded correctly; I can't tell because my internet is so slow.
I didn't get to watch the videos from you, Sarah, and Madge until after I'd already filmed this (they wouldn't play on my phone and I didn't want to come to the internet cafe twice) so I kind of winged it.
[...] With Accents Posted on January 30, 2011 by CosmicBlue I was reading a post on my friend Bethany's blog today about the differences in accents and regional [...]
Be amazed!
I not only made a video, but I managed to work out how to upload it to my poor neglected blog.
Ta da!
I was born in Mississippi, moved to Oklahoma when I was two, moved to Pennsylvania when I was ten, moved to Maryland when I was eighteen and moved to Delaware when I was twenty-five. I don't generally have an accent, unless I am speaking to my Southern relatives, then my accent comes back. Sometimes it's so thick my husband makes fun of me.
I went to a leadership conference when I was in high school (it was in DC) and on the first day they asked us to stand up if we called the bubbly drink
a.) pop
next if we called it
b.) soda
and finally
c.) coke (regardless of the kind)
We found that the easterners went with soda, the west coasters went with pop and all of California was coke. It was quite interesting.
I love how you say pecan, it's one of my favourite American pronounciations, along with basil, oregano and vase.
SUPER cute idea! I think I will do this.
I had to jump in on this too. If I can get it to post on my blog, I'll let you know ; )
The dead comment reminded me of you CA aunt & uncle. It made me laugh.
The comment was made by Moe.
I am late to the game, but here we are!
I love this idea! I'll through in some Appalachian accent for you guys.
Wash – commonly pronounced Warsh or Worsh, especially by older people.
Oil – a two syllable word "oi-yoll"
Iron – a one syllable word with a soft R.
Salmon – contains a rare silent l.
Fire – Far
Crayon – Crayun or Crayola (as brands are commonly used)
Toilet – lots of people actually still say commode, but otherwise I can't imagine it sounds very odd.
Spitting image – Kinda like Spi'in image
Syrup – Su-rup
A few of the questions,
- any brown soda is a coke
- we commonly say both hey guys and hey ya'll or just hey with at least two syllables.
- both my grandparents are called Granny and Pa
- we shop with a buggy
-sometimes daddy long legs are called "craw-dads"
An interesting one might also be whether you pronounce the "l" in walk or talk. We definitely go "waLking and taLking" not woking and toking as many other Americans.
"What do you call it when rain falls while the sun is shining?"
My nightmare.
Ok, first off…how cute are you??!! I grew up in the DC area (in McLean, but then lived in Arlington once I was married and all my kids were born there) and we say those words EXACTLY the same (even down to the 2 ways to say route). As for the questions, I answered them exactly the same as you (even the "Hello, Everyone"…which made me laugh, because I answered all the questions before listening to you so as not to be tainted). Though living in Denver now, people would say "buggy" instead of cart at the grocery store. In DC, when people knock down and house and rebuild it, they say, "that's a tear-down" and in Denver, they call those type of houses "scrapers". Reason #873465920 to start a blog!!
I think we have such bland "accents" here in good ol Nebraska. The only things we differ on are that I don't say pill bug (only rollypoly) and I call them sun showers. :) The pop thing is pretty funny (and true).
This is really cool, your voice is actually not what I imagined it would be like :)
OMG…so I have to keep blogger (shhh,…dont boo) I can finally post my silly ass online. I have a ASUS….yep…love him, but his $1200 camera sucks…well, it is probably me.
So yep, here I am, do not laugh too loudly;)

Tipsy Love
I can only begin to describe something as deeply intricate as love.
Misty eyes
I cling to your sighs
O' happy days
and twisted parades
laced with magnets
my troubles start to fade
A hopeless enterprise
I know my demise and
bade them adieu
Chug? Nay.
I will sip my time with you.

Ravenswood Teldeschi Vineyard Zinfandel 2011
Zinfandel from Sonoma County, California
Winemaker's Notes
Teldeschi Zinfandel's powerful aromas of black cherries, coffee, caramel, and vanilla as well as other sweet dark fruit scents, combine to create the classic character of a great Dry Creek Benchland Zinfandel. Rich flavors of sweet cherry liqueur, vanilla, and smoke lead to a ripe, dense, long, moderately astringent, and bright fruit finish.
Critical Acclaim
Connoisseurs' Guide - "Ravenswood takes its accustomed place at the head of the class with its collection of single-vineyard offerings from 2011, and, among the many of a very good lot, the Teldeschi bottling wins top honors once again. Leading with a sweetly perfumed nose of dark berries and briar with highlights of stony soil lending it a singular complexity all its own, the wine comes across as serious and even somewhat brooding on the palate, and, while fairly sturdy, it is never severe. It is as deep as or deeper than most Zins we have yet tasted from the vintage, and there is not an ounce of fat to found on its well-muscled frame. It can only improve in the decade to come."
Wine & Spirits - "The oldest vines in this Zinfandel, Petite Sirah and Carignane blend date to 1913 and 1919, planted on western-facing slopes of Dry Creek Valley benchland. That western exposure contributes to the sense of ripeness in the wine, but the old vines have sustained freshness in their fruit to keep it balanced. It smells like roasted meats and cherry skin, presenting its earthiness with frisky energy that leaves the mouth feeling clean and tasting good. The lovely richness will meld with slow-smoked beef ribs."
Ravenswood Winery
Fueled initially by the inspiration and winemaking skills of Joel Peterson, aided and abetted by his business partner W. Reed Foster, Ravenswood winery has been dedicated to top quality, hand-crafted wine since the first crush in 1976. Every Ravenswood wine carries a unique vintage and vineyard identity in addition to the intense powerful – gothic – character with which the winery has come to be associated.
A key to Ravenswood's success is our long-standing relationships with over 60 independent grape growers. Vineyards are chosen for their location, age, yield and special flavor characteristics. At Ravenswood, we are devoted to working with growers who share our philosophy about high quality.
Ravenswood Vineyard Designate wines are made employing what winemaker Joel Peterson refers to as "stubborn and impractical" Old World enological practices. Wines are fermented in small wooden tanks using wild, natural yeasts and punched down by hand three to five times per day. The wines are characterized by intense, spicy aromas supported by rich, berry flavors and long, clean finishes. View all Ravenswood Wines
About Sonoma CountyView a map of Sonoma County wineriesRelated Links:
Twice as large as Napa in size, Sonoma County only makes about half as much wine as its northeasterly neighbor. Because of its vast size, however, Sonoma is able to achieve far more diversity within its borders, which include sub-AVAs that are climatically varied. The atmosphere of Sonoma is decidedly laid-back and down-to-earth, but the wines are serious and well-made, ranging in style from subtle and elegant to rich and powerful. Grape varieties are more varied here, from Pinot Noir and Zinfandel to Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.
Notable FactsThe largest sub-AVAs of Sonoma include Dry Creek Valley, Russian River Valley, Alexander Valley and Sonoma Valley. Each sub-AVA, with its own micro-climate, is unique in its grape varieties and styles of wine. Dry Creek makes a mean Zinfandel while Russian River produces stand up Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The Alexander Valley makes some of the better Cabernet Sauvignons in the county and Sonoma Valley creates excellent wines from all the above varieties. Other grapes found throughout Sonoma include Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot and Syrah.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Krause's set for Monday re-opening By Amy Clarkson Staff Writer Monday morning, Bob Krueger hopes to be at his regular place at Krause's Cafe — the long Stammtisch table, playing the early morning game to see who will pay for coffee. On Thursday, he hopes to order the turkey and dressing that made the restaurant famous for more than 50 years. "I'm delighted they're reopening," he said. "Krause's was unique in our town. It's nice to know it will continue to be a special place." After nearly nine months, Krause's Cafe is re-opening with new ownership. Charlie and Lynn Kubesch bought the store and plan to operate it much in the same style longtime New Braunfels residents remember. "It's a neat place," Charlie Kubesch said. "The minute I walked in, I really liked the way it was set up. It has its own personality." Kubesch said he was charmed by the restaurant's German appearance and planned to keep it like it was — news regulars like Bob Krueger are happy to hear. "I've heard they've hired some of the same family members and some of the same cooks," Krueger said. "I'm glad to hear it. Although I don't know these people personally, I know they own Frank's in Schulenburg. That's another restaurant with a great family atmosphere. They're the right people to buy a place like this." In the days before the reopening, Kubesch is busy at the restaurant, putting finishing touches and hiring new staff. "We're ready to go on Monday," he said. "I just hope we have the staff. We're hiring people now; everything else is in place. We have the food; we have the equipment. Now we just need people to come." Getting people into the restaurant, which was part of downtown New Braunfels history for more than 50 years, should not be hard. Regulars to the restaurant have been by in the weeks since he has been working on preparing Krause's for reopening. "I keep having to turn them away," he said.

He has a cell phone and credit cards that have gone unused since Saturday. Becky has tried to find him and considered hiring a private investigator. She went to the Comal County Sheriff's Office and talked to Detective Jim Rose. A "missing person" file has been opened on Blades, but Rose said so far, there is no confirmed sign of foul play. Nonetheless, the case is puzzling, Rose said.See MISSING/5A Missing- Michael "Hooch" Blades is 40 years old, has long brown hair, a beard and hazel eyes. He is 5-feet, 10-inches tall, weighs 160 pounds and has a distinctive, bowlegged walk. He has tattoos on both arms. The left forearm tattoo is a "dreamweaver." On the right arm, he has a Harley Davidson logo and the legend, "Sturgis '93." Anyone with information should contact Sheriff's Detective Jim Rose at 620-3400 or Becky Blades at (713) 502 4223. By Ron Maloney Staff Writer Missing manHouston resident not seen for five days, wife reports Thursday was Michael "Hooch" Blades' 40th birthday, and his wife, Rebecca, said she almost hopes that he spent it in a bar somewhere far away with another woman. No, her husband does not like bars, and he is not the type to go after another woman. But for Becky Blades, the alternative to that scenario, bad as it would be, is just too terrible to even contemplate. Hooch Blades had a small spat with his wife Saturday afternoon at Camp Beans on the Guadalupe River. He called a cab and disappeared. He is a commercial electrician and job supervisor for an electrical contracting firm, and she is an executive secretary at the M.D. Anderson Medical Center in Houston, where the pair fives in a house they bought this past year and have been renovating. They have been together five years and got married last February, Becky said, because her husband felt like it was "the right tiling to do." He had been tubing on the Guadalupe once, about 15 years ago, and they decided to come tubing this past weekend. Becky Blades does not know what happened to him. Sure, she said, they argued Saturday. But for him to up and leave does not make sense in the man she has come to know. "He doesn't even storm out the front door. You have an argument at home, he goes into the garage and snaps on his radio," Becky said. "There's no way. It's just so strange... Its completely out of character," Becky said. "And none of his friends or work have heard from him. He's a homebody. We can't get him out of the house. All he does is work or stay home. He doesn't even like bars." At this point, she would be almost grateful, Becky said, to know her husband had merely left her — and something worse had not happened. "I just want to make sure he's OK," she said. Becky said her husband is very outgoing, is an old AM radio buff, has five electric guitars and a Harley Davidson. All of it is at their Houston home light K.

JESSIE SLATEN Staff Writers Comal County officials don't have a IO most dangerous intersections fist, but they do have areas where they believe more auto accidents occur. State Farm Insurance, the nation's largest auto insurer, released this week a study of the country's most dangerous intersections, based on the company's accident claims and the severity of injuries. In New Braunfels, Police Lt. John Wommack noted Interstate 35, which currently is under construction through New Braunfels, as an area of concern. Wommack said the major causes of State Farm Insurance ranks the country's intersections/8A accidents in the Interstate 35 corridor aren't collisions at intersections — they are rear-end collisions caused by inattentive driving. There have been 275 accidents from January to May in New Braunfels, Wommack said. 'We've had foul' wrecks with five fatalities and that's way too many," Wommack said. Greg Malatek, Texas Department of Transportation area engineer in New Braunfels, said Comal County roads were safer on average than those in most of Texas. "Looking at the statistics, we have lower accident rates than the rest of the state," Malatek said. "I couldn't give you a top IO fist of dangerous intersections in Comal County. But that doesn't mean you can't improve an intersection. There are always ways to make them safer." When officials see a trend toward accidents at any particular intersection, Malatek said, engineers investigate and try to make it safer. "Its one of those things to where if an intersection does look possibly accident prone, we'll look at it and add some features," Malatek said.See WRECK/5A Golf course putting red light on some blue flags By Amy Clarkson Staff Writer Lands Park Golf Course is cracking down on the abuse of handicapped flags that allow golfers to drive carts off the paths and to their balls. "This is a living thing," Golf Course Manager Ward Watson said of the golf course at Monday's city council meeting. "And I don't have the money to maintain it the way it needs to be maintained. This is a privilege people are abusing, and it's harming the fairways." Council approved the first reading of an ordinance changing the way golfers get permission to drive carts off fairways to get their balls. Under the new ordinance, only people who have handicapped parking permits from the state are eligible to receive the flags. The ordinance also changes the color from red to blue and prohibits anyone from riding with the person eligible to receive the blue flags. Councilwomen Juliet Watson and Debbie Flume voted against the ordinance, while Mayor Stoney Williams, Mayor Pro Tem Lee Rodriguez, Robert Kendrick and Larry Alexander voted in favor. Currently golfers ask for red flags and do not need to show proof of an actual physical disability. The flags are signals that the golfers have permission to drive carts on the fairways. They are supposed to drive from the path to their balls — with a 90-degree turn from the path — and then back. Tho many people abuse the system See FLAGS/5A K.

Selangor completed their AFC Cup Group F fixture by securing a win against a listless Maziya side
BY OOI KIN FAI Follow on Twitter
It was a dead rubber game at Shah Alam Stadium and the manner in which the teams played showed as much. Selangor and Maziya are both out of the reckoning to qualify to the knock-out stage of the AFC Cup after producing dismal performances against the other two teams in the group. Of the two, Selangor were the one taking the match more lightly than their opponent. 7 changes were made from the side that started against Lions XII at the weekend.
It was obvious that the multiple change affected Selangor as Maziya piled on the pressure right from the start. It took them only 10 minutes to break the deadlock. A wonderful counter attacking move that started with Abu Desmond playing a superb through ball to Nashid Ahmed on the right. Azmi Muslim did not track the runner the space opened up for Maziya. Nashid eventually squared the ball onto the path of Abdulla Sadhulla to tap home the opening goal.
After dominating the early period of the first half, Maziya dropped off the pace. Even their right winger, Nashid was in some kind of discomfort and had to be taken off in the 29th minute. The Red Giants grew into the game and started to cause trouble to Maziya's goal, mainly through crosses and set pieces.
Afiq Azmi had two headers which failed to hit the target but his strike partner, Paulo Rangel did not disappoint. In the 32nd minute, the Brazilian placed a glancing header beyond the reach of Imran Mohamed in Maziya's goal, despite being sandwiched between two Maziya markers. 1-1 at the break is a fair reflection of the game that both teams took turns to impress.
Mehmet Durakovic sent his boys out for the second half with a different attitude. Suddenly Selangor were quicker to the second balls and were not giving Maziya the chance to roam as much as they did in the first half. With the increasing amount of possession, it was only a matter of time before the home side find the next goal in the game. Maziya's cause was not helped by the substitution of defensive stalwart, Zhivko Dinev.
Rangel grabbed his second goal of night in the 62nd minute when Afiq skipped past Imran Ali on the left hand side before laying the ball on a plate for his strike partner to tap in. Not often used this season, Afiq had showed plenty of industry and high work rate, sometimes dropping into midfield and out wide to help out his team.
In the 79th minute, Rangel completed his second hattrick in the AFC Cup, this time benefiting off an error from Maziya's player. Baka's back pass option was a poor one, not noticing the presence of Rangel, who lapped up the chance to sidefoot the ball past Imran for the third time in the match. To capped off a good albeit immaterial result for Selangor, Azmi Muslim scored from the freekick just 3 minutes later to make it 4-1 to Selangor.
Maziya offered very little going forward in the second half of the match. Selangor once again proved that they are quite formidable at one. This, their 2nd win out of 3 matches at home. The opening draw against Arema was the only match in which Selangor didn't capture full points when playing on home soil. Away form is one area where Selangor has to improve if they want to return to this competition and do better than this season.

The Forgotten Commissioner: Sir William Mildmay and the Anglo-French Commission of 1750-1755
€ 24,49
Besorgung - Lieferbarkeit unbestimmt
Mai 2003
BeschreibungAs a middle-aged London lawyer, Sir William Mildmay had a reputation for prudence and frugality that landed him a position on the Anglo-French Commission in Paris. The Commission's ongoing negotiations and failure to ratify the 1748 Treaty of Aix-la-Chappelle and resolve long-standing differences were to have far-reaching consequences for the futures of Britain, France, Canada, the American colonies, and India. The contents of William Mildmay's letters, his private commission journal, and his official commission reports provide remarkable first-hand insight into the tortuous process of eighteenth-century diplomacy. Mildmay's notes also raise the fascinating possibility that in the early summer of 1752 a successful end of the treaty negotiations might have been possible, thus preventing or delaying the Seven Years' War. Given the importance of the resulting conflagration for Britain and its Empire, Mildmay's detailed descriptions of the commission's work is a remarkable and unique chronicle of a crucial episode in British and French diplomacy. Enid Robbie's Forgotten Commissioner resurrects the uncertainties, personalities, infighting, and political double-dealing behind the Anglo-French Commission through an examination of one of its quietest but most dedicated participants. As Robbie weaves Mildmay's personal fortunes through the larger diplomatic negotiations, the reader understands that politics and diplomacy were life and death professions, not just for nations, but for individual careers.

"Ugh Lila let me sleep." I groaned feeling her nudge and lick me. Then she nipped me playfully like she does sometimes when nothing else will work. "Okay fine I'm up." Rubbing my eyes I notice the room wasn't very light, looking outside I saw that a few stars still twinkled in the sky. "What?" I stood up flexing my arms.
Lila growled lightly making me face her and noticing her pointing to my uniform then the window. "You're joking right?" But I knew she wasn't and pleading at me to say yes. I sighed knowing what a push over I am when it comes to Lila. "Okay fine."
So after rolling my sleeves up and loosely doing my green and silver tie up I was standing on the window ceil. "Wait is anyone about?" Lila closed her eyes for a moment then jumped and flew outside. She reappeared smiling and winked once. "Good girl." I leapt into the early morning sky and landed on Lila.
Just to be on the safe side I put a protection hidden clock spell over us as we adventured over the school grounds. The sun rose brightening the castle, but the dark forest remained a clouded forbidden places and someplace where I had to check out.
"Lila think you can drop me off somewhere?" She nodded looking back at me with sad eyes. "Hey come on girl just think of all the places you get to investigate." She wined a little telling me that she would rather we both investigated those places together. I stroked her neck promising that I'll see her soon. So Lila flew near the court yard outside the great hall where some students mulled around talking.
I smiled thinking. "Drop us off here, there look that's it and thanks." I slid off her back landed on a small roof, gambolled and landed on my feet between a group of stunned students. "Morning." I said to them noticing the Gryffindor and Hufflepuff symbol.
"M-morning." The girl reply's running hand through her tiny black curls. The boy just looks at me wondering how I suddenly appeared. Taking out my lesson seclude I check out my first lesson pulling a face seeing what it is and turn my back walking to lesson.
Again the whispers start again down the corridor, but I'm too lost thinking about Lila been safe and walk straight into something soiled.
"Hey do you mind? What is it with first years?" The girl turns round ready to shout some more but instead sees me.
"I don't mind and sorry us first years are terrible aren't we?" I smirk.
"What are you doing here?"
"Erm walking into my Charms class." Pointing to the class that was filling up.
"Please don't say you're in my class." She crosses her arms sighing.
"Please don't say you're going to be my partner." I replied walking into the class and of course only seeing two chairs next to each other by a desk. The Ravenclaw girl walks in noticing the same thing rolling her eyes.
"You can sit in my lesson Miss Mandrake and Mr Dragomin." The professor informs us saying not taking his eyes off the chalk board. So we sit moving our chairs away from each other. I glance round the class noticing other Slytherin students, a girl with red hair copying from the board, the boy with black hair looking around the room also we caught each other eyes and nodded to each other.
I went back to copying the board and hoped for the lesson the finish.

"But why don't you understand? I have to do this, it's my only option."
Martin shakes his head. "No, it's not. There are other ways for you to do this. You don't have to go."
I sigh and take his hand. "Yes, I do. I can't stay here any longer. This is why I told you not to get close to me, I can never stay in one place for too long. It doesn't work out."
"So you're willing to leave me because you can't stay in one place too long? You told me not to get close to you, but you also should've told yourself not to get close to me," he says, his voice starting to get that familiar edge to it.
"I have to. I don't want to…"
"Then don't. Heather, don't go. You say you have to, but we both know you don't want to."
I look down and try to take my hand away from his, but his grip is too strong. "Whether or not I want to isn't the point. I don't have a choice."
"Then do one last thing for me," he says gently. "Tell me what you really are."
I look up, startled. "What do you mean?"
Martin smiles. "You're a little easier to read than you think you are, Heather. I know that you're not human, or at least not completely. Before you go, tell me what you really are."
"However you figured it out, you're right. I'm not human, and that's why I have to go. I can't have people know what I am without being hunted down."
"Then I'll protect you. I've done it before, I can do it again."
I smile and shake my head. "It only worked before because you didn't know that I'm a dryad. But it's too dangerous for me to stay any longer, I've already put you in enough danger as is." I reach up and take off my heather and birch necklace, the sign of my tribe, and press it into his hand. "Here, take this. It will always remind you of who I am. Whenever you're missing me, just look into it and you'll be able to see me."
Martin takes the necklace and wraps one arm around my waist, pulling me closer. "I'm really going to miss you, Heather."
I look down. "I know, I'm going to miss you, too. But the Council is calling me, I have to go back."
Martin leans down to kiss me when I feel the Council's call again. No matter how hard I try to hold on to Martin, I fade away and vanish, leaving him alone.
"You resisted the call long enough, Heather. The Council has need of you here," says Willow, the eastern head of the Council.
I sink down to my knees and cry as the Council fades away, leaving me alone inside my home to grieve. This was not supposed to happen. I was not supposed to go there. And above all, I was not supposed to fall in love with a human.

Daemar Inc.
Quad-Rings Avoiding Spiral Twist. To minimize breakaway friction, an O-Ring groove must be wide enough to allow rolling or twisting of the seal. In the long stroke of a reciprocating seal application, this twisting action can strain and eventually tear the rubber, causing a failure mode known as spiral twist. To prevent spiral twist, the Quad-Ring (R) seal's four-lobed configuration is designed to withstand the distortion and extrusion often caused by high or pulsating pressure. To accommodate...

Story Behind this Recipe
When my daughter went off her banana kick, she left one sitting in the fridge. One morning, we were out of breakfast tea and milk. We had soy milk, but since my husband won't drink it straight, I just whipped this up, since I was pressed for time, and it was a hit!

I looked out of my window, it was sunset. I opened it wide enough for my body and climbed out, as I had done so many times before. I slid down the tiled roof and on to the gritty roof of the old garage, then skipped off on to the small driveway. I was as agile as a cat, and many people compared me to them - but they don't know the real reason I have to be. I'm an Anima Snatcher. I kill souls. Don't treat me like the bad guy - they're all dead anyway.
I ran to the end of my street, my black scythe bashing against my back, and my throwing daggers jangling in my pocket. I turned right and slowed down, listening out for any noise. Any noise, any at all, was my key to tonight's victory. I stopped at an alley-way, and crouched in the shadows, waiting. I didn't have to wait long, though, my "key" came after about 5 minutes.
He was a man who looked in his mid or late 30's, and was muscular with lots of tatoo's and stubble on his face. How'd he die? I thought, but it didn't really matter. He'd be off to God-knows where in a couple of minutes, that was my job.
He walked past me, not noticing me, then I crept out behind him. I got my scythe out and sliced his head off, killing him a second time. I laughed as he slumped on the ground, going paler and paler. I wandered off, knowing the the body - and head - would be gone in a few seconds. I slung my bloody scythe over my back and started to sprint off, to my next hotspot for killing.
This was my life, I loved it and wouldn't sawp it for anything.

We all watch in horror as he shoots Mia... We can almost see the bullet ripping through the air.
"Mia!" All of us yell.
"I... I'm...al...right..."she stutters out.
"Thanks for scaring the shit out of my girlfriend with a blank you asshole!" Jen says, punching the guy right in the face.
He takes the hit, Jen punches really hard but he takes it coolly.
"It wasn't a blank, look.
We turn back to her and we see it. The bullet is right between her brow, standing in the air and spinning around, a millimeter away from her.
With a move of his hand, the bullet comes back at him, he just takes it in his hand before throwing it away.
"Satisfied?" He ask, now acting smugly.
"How did you do that? You said you weren't a psychic!" I question him still somewhat in panic.
"Give me a W. Give me a I. Give me a T. Give me a C. Give me a H. Witch!" He sings much to our dismay
"What if you failed that trick? She's be dead!" Jen yells, swinging her arm at her which he dodge with ease.
"I wouldn't. It's a bullet, I can so the same with automatic fire."
"How do you know you-- You know what, fuck it. I really don't want to know." Grey adds.
"Yeah you don't." He declares with a grin.
"Who was the trench earlier?" I ask.
"My room mate, Zeke. We work together."
"What exactly is your work?"
"Vigilante, crime fighters." He avows completely seriously.
We all stares at him in silence. It goes on forever as he just stares back with a poker face...
Finally he burst out laughing, he's one step away from actually rolling on the floor.
"You should've seen your faces!" He mocks us as he try to catch his breath. Then, Jen punches him in the stomach and he gasps out all the air in his lungs.
"Worth it!" he affirms when he's better. He take a few deep breath and speaks again. "To be honest, I wasn't too far off. We're policing those who cannot be taken charges off by the justice system."
"Like mob bosses?" Jennifer asks at our discouragement.
"Did you miss the supernatural part that just went on? I'm talking about vampires, demons, fairies, and other nasties that hides in the night."
"Vampires are real?" Jen asks, a her eyes nearly glowing. "Can we meet one?"
"They don't sparkle, are nearly animalistic and considers humans like cattle, but yes they do." Keith countered.
"Awww... Lame."
"Not to burst anyone's bubble here but can we talk about specters?"

Thanks everyone! I took it to the range again today and put another hundred and fifty rounds through it. I gotta say that this thing is really growing on me pretty fast.
It handles recoil much better than my other Smith's. I know I've already said that, but it does by such a significant amount I can't help sing its praise. I'd go so far as to say that it's actually a pleasure to shoot... Regarding the laser. I understand what everyone is saying about its practical use on a defensive firearm, but as you can see by the picture below, I'm not totally relying on the laser on its own.
The white paint really makes the front sight pickup incredibly fast all by it self, but the laser IMO does have a significant use as well. In some defense situations while pocket carrying the laser could easily be actuated while still holstered, or in the pocket and if drawn, it's on and ready. In that sense, it's worth its weight in gold IMO. I say that because, there are times when I feel the small lightweight pocket blaster loses it appeal if there happens to be more than a couple of attackers (heaven forbid it ever happens). Even with the best reloading skills, with the exception of maybe (Jerry Miculek ) it gives up a slight too moderate tactacial advantage to the auto loader as it relates to reloads. For that reason alone I usually find myself carrying an auto as a primary, and one of my snubs as a BUG. I may or may not have mentioned it in the past, but I hate the whole BUG theory. One of my biggest reasons would be; and I'm not sure if this would actually happen or not, but; Say you are carrying two firearms and you're involved in a shooting. It sounds reasonable enough that the responding officers would confiscate any and all firearms at the scene meaning, both of yours will be going for a ride with the officers and you'll be down a couple instead of the one that was actually used in the shooting. Again, I have no information to back that theory up, but again, it sounds reasonable enough during the investigation. That's the main reason, but the other is comfort. I've been carrying for a long time and in that time I have carried everything short of the Desert Eagle and depending on what it is and how heavy, or bulky it is, it just might get stowed, and IMO off body carry is just a tad bit above unarmed.
Anyway, sorry for going off on the tangent..
Once again, the addition of the laser IMO kinda helps even the playing field a tad when it comes to round count and multiple assailants. If it can be deployed and used to assist in shot placement, the spot on first shot "could" make all the difference in the world.
Here's another pic of the bad-boy and after three hundred rounds it moves to the head of the pack as far as carry revolvers goes.
Now, to go clean all the guns that I took to the range over the last three days.

Analysts Expect Blowout Quarter for Samsung, Smartphone Sales of 35 Million
Jason Mick
January 4, 2012 8:01 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Samsung's smartphones are selling very well
While its efforts to ban Apple, Inc.'s (
) products via countersuits [
] aren't working out so great, Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd. (
) has much to celebrate.
I. Samsung Sweeps the Table With Legal, Smartphone, and Feature Phone Victories
After facing uncertainty amid an all out legal barrage from Apple, Samsung has secured victories in almost every major market by an outright denial [
] of Apple's requested importation bans or by securing a favorable ruling that allows it to make minor modifications and continue to sell its core lineup [
]. Apple's growing string of hollow Pyrrhic victories and defeats have caused some analysts to
advocate that company turn its back
on the late Apple CEO Steve Jobs' final solution of trying to
spend Apple's fortune trying to destroy Samsung,
et al
Samsung is currently gaining significant chunks of turf in a two-front mobile phone war, as well. On the one side it's
fighting to become the king of feature phones
-- the budget phones that preceded smartphones and still make up the majority of global sales. On that front it's fighting the struggling king of budget handsets -- Finland's Nokia Oyj. (
). On this front it's doing quite well -- Nokia's sales have slid as Samsung's have soared upwards, although Nokia still maintains a lead, for now.
Meanwhile, the South Korean firm is trying to maintain its commanding global lead in smartphone production, which it seized in calendar Q3 2011,
outselling Apple by 65 percent
. According to
early predictions
from analysts, it looks like it's prevailing in this battle, as well.
Of course Apple let lose a
the iPhone 4s
, which gave Samsung a bit more competition. But it appears that the latest and greatest iPhone hardly made a ding in Samsung's sales, and likely failed to give Apple the spark it needed to catch up in sales.
Sources close to the company indicate that Samsung will soon report a blowout holiday season, which is expected to bring Samsung's annual revenue for calendar 2011 (fiscal 2012) up 12 percent from calendar 2010. Meanwhile annual profits are expected to surge an impressive 28 percent.
II. Apple is Winning in Profits, but is Being Marginalized by Weaker Sales
The consensus target among analysts who have study Samsung's holiday performance is that the company will post a KRW (won) 46.2T (~$37.0B USD) revenue for calendar Q4 2011 (fiscal Q4 2012) and a KRW 4.7T (~$4.1B USD) profit.
By contrast Apple is
expected to approach
a profit of $9.83 USD per share (~$9.23B USD) for the quarter. But the fact that Samsung is even half as profitable -- particularly when it is fighting a pricey global legal war with Apple and
paying a reported $15 USD per smartphone
to Microsoft Corp. (
) in patent licensing fees -- is impressive. Samsung used to be nowhere near this profitable, as it was known for its broad array of affordable consumer electronics and consumer handsets.
BNP Paribas and Korea Investment & Securities offer the most bullish estimate of the analysts, predicting that Samsung will report sales of 170 million smartphones for next year (calendar 2012; fiscal 2013, beware). If Samsung indeed reports such a dominant result it may blow through next
year's previous target
of 150 million units
. The consensus is that Samsung likely moved 35 million smartphones, at least, over the last quarter, maintaining its global lead.
The most bullish Apple predictor among the major analysts currently is Maynard Um investment bank UBS AG (
30 million iPhone 4S were sold in Oct.-Dec. 2011. That would bring Apple's total yearly iPhone sales to 86.06 million units (a mixture of iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S units).
(Apple's average target is 28 million units.)
Samsung's lineup which includes the (Galaxy S II) Epic 4G Touch (left) is believed to have outsold Apple's iPhone 4S (right) over the holidays. [Image Source: Smart Phone Smackdown]
III. Samsung is Winning New Customers With Low Prices
Samsung is
growing much faster than Apple
, thanks to its more budget-friendly pricing approach. Whereas an iPhone can cost up to $400 USD for a 64GB iPhone 4S on contract ($850 USD unlocked), Samsung's premium handsets command as little as $100 USD on contract (Wal-Mart Inc.'s (
) pre-order price on the Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch
And while Apple's high price has
long been associated with a certain "cool factor"
, Samsung has released a series of highly affective ads
attacking the cultish nature
of Apple's most loyal fans.
Dude you're a barista! (Samsung mocks Apple "fanboys" in ad-form).
[Image Source: Samsung]
It's hard to gauge how much damage a commercial does, but if
the infamous "Get a Mac" commercials
made Apple seem a bit cooler in the eyes of the non technophile public, Samsung's ads certainly make obsessing over the iPhone a bit less cool. Also, the commercials actually emphasize features found in the Galaxy S II HD and similar models, such as the higher resolution screen and faster LTE modem.
Apple is still posting dynamic growth, but Samsung is leading the Android's push to marginalize it, much as Microsoft led the push to marginalize Apple's Mac OS in the 1990s. Samsung's lead thus could spell trouble for Apple in the long run, and Apple appears to realize it, given the desperate manner in which its fling lawsuits in Samsung's direction.
Another factor working in Samsung's favor is its release cycle. While Apple fans must way a full year to get a technology upgrade, Samsung fans at any given month can get something that is superior to what was available just a few months before. The more frequent release schedule means that while the gap in terms of hardware specs isn't as wide between the iPhone and Samsung's flagship models at Apple's yearly launch, that it grows quite noticeable as the year drags on.
IV. Samsung Gets Investor Nod
Investors are starting to take note of the passing of the guard as Samsung replaces Apple as the hottest thing on the market. Samsung's stock climbed 29 percent in the past sixth months, versus an impressive, but lesser, climb of 21 percent by Apple stock.
Analysts are particularly enthusiastic about Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Note tablet-cum-smartphone, which will take bulky smartphones to new heights with a hulking 5.3-inch display.
Samsung is now Asia's most valuable technology company with a market value of ~$150B USD. That's still less than half the market valuation of Apple -- $384B USD -- but if Samsung can pick up some more tablet market share in 2012 (currently Samsung is the top Android tablet maker), it will likely continue to see share prices rise faster than Apple's and chip away at the American electronics giant's market cap lead. Samsung continues to dominate Android tablet sales on the high-end, though Amazon, Inc.'s (
) budget-priced Kindle Fire, which features a custom distribution of Android, was perhaps an even hotter seller due to its entry-level prices.
V. Company Performs Well in Non-Phone Markets Too
Outside the phone market, Samsung is also moving aggressively to improve its position in other markets. Like its fellow South Korean rival LG Electronics, Inc. (
) Samsung is preparing OLED flat-screen TVs for the market. It is also working to shrink and improve its CPU manufacturing processes. Samsung was the first ARM Holdings plc (
) licensee to hit the 32 nm node, and it remains perhaps the top ARM chipmaker, when it comes to die-shrinks and strong production processes.
That chip-making savvy has also helped Samsung to become the only remaining profitable DRAM supplier, a position that's granting it ballooning market share. While slowing PC sales in 2012 are expected to continue to slow the memory market, Samsung is expected to maintain modest profitability, thanks to its unique capability.
A final note is that Samsung offloaded one of its more poorly fitting elements -- an underperforming hard drive division. That unit was sold off to the American hard-drive manufacturer Seagate Technology (
) for KRW 500B (~$436M USD).
Financial Times
UBS [iPhone 4S sales prediction]
"Then they pop up and say 'Hello, surprise! Give us your money or we will shut you down!' Screw them. Seriously, screw them. You can quote me on that." -- Newegg Chief Legal Officer Lee Cheng referencing patent trolls
