Ecard Trial Membership Scam
Posted by Etf on 01/23/2009
I signed up for a trial membership in 2005 for yahoo ecards. Every year since I have automatically been charged for renewal. I am not able to take my credit card information off their site or cancel my membership. This year I decided I wasn't going to pay for another year - it's only $15 but the point is I don't want it and I don't' want my credit card information stored on their website - it's my right to not have it stored there which is the main basis of my complaint. Since I could not do this via online I had to call and then I had to wait at least 30 minutes for someone to answer and then they had trouble finding my account because it was under an alternative email address - even though the one I gave them is the one I need to sign in to the account.
I WILL NEVER AGAIN BUY AN AMERICAN GREETING PRODUCT AGAIN AND I WILL TELL EVERYONE NOT TO FALL FOR THEIR "TRIAL MEMBERSHIP" SCAM. A company should not be permitted to keep someone's credit card information on file - especially with all the problems lately with accounts being compromised.

I'd dispute the charges with the credit card company and request a new card with a different number.
Posted by John L. on 2012-03-04:
Simply inform your credit card provider in writing to not accept any further bills from American Greeting Cards. Keep a record of your request so you can dispute it if it happens again.
Posted by donna on 2012-04-26:
same problem...charged three yrs. w/out knowing about it. did not have auto renew perference...rip off.
Posted by Ali on 2013-09-04:
American Greetings is running what has become an all too common scam -- getting you to sign up for a free trial, then charging you until you remember to cancel. Pretty despicable. I will never buy any of their products again, either. I think they will lose much more just from these posts than the thirty bucks they grabbed from yours' truly, which I generously gave them the opportunity to refund. :D

Changed My Yahoo! Mail
Posted by Cgs_31 on 01/19/2013
I never cared to upgrade to Yahoo's 'new' mail, I liked the Classic version just fine. But, in all their limited wisdom, Yahoo changed a simple feature that I really liked in the old email, there was a place to click to Sign Out. Now I have to open a drop down box, move down to the bottom (only 4 entries), and click there. This is just plain dumb. Why should I have to go through 3 actions instead of 1 click to sign out Upgrades show make things easier, not more difficult.
I know this is so trivial that you probably laugh, but since this was one more effort my Yahoo to keep changing its email layout that I am now using Hotmail that does have a Sign Out button I can click on the main screen.
Bye-bye Yahoo mail

I still use the "classic" Yahoo! mail, and there is no indication that will be changing.
Can you switch back?
Posted by DebtorBasher on 2013-01-19:
I also use the 'Classic' Yahoo mail...and have the option to switch to the 'All New' if I want to. I just checked and on both of them, they have the 'sign off' in the upper left corner of the page, right above their logo. You just click on it like we've always done. You might just have to scroll your page up to see it.
Also, if you go to the right, you will see, 'Mail Options' and if you click on it, you can switch back to the Classic mail.
Posted by Suzy on 2013-01-20:
Once you have fully upgraded to the "new" yahoo mail, there is no longer an option to switch back. Believe me, I have tried, have searched every option, button on the screen. The option to switch back to mail classic no longer exists on my mail and I have heard from others that this is the case for them as well. I switched to the new mail after getting tired of the continued prompting and urging yahoo was doing to promote the new one. I didn't like several things about it, for one the messenger feature no longer offered me the option of signing in and staying invisible until I chose otherwise.
The OP is right though about the sign out option. It happened to me. No warning they were going to change it, just went to sign off my mail one day and sign out feature on upper left was gone. Took some time of searching to find the drop down box on upper right that would finally let me sign out. I don't like that either but wasn't given a choice on it.
On the other hand the feature I most wanted with yahoo mail and had hoped would be one of the changes they offered in the new mail is still non existent. Yahoo mail has never given me the option of being able to choose my own stationary for e-mails from pictures stored on my hard drive. Yes they do offer stationary, of their choosing, that can be used in e-mails, but the choices are poor and not of my taste. I prefer my own and so far that still isn't an option.

How much are you paying for the service? I'd ask for a refund.
Posted by Suzy on 2013-01-20:
Unless you are using the Mail Plus, Yahoo Mail classic or the new improved (according to them) version is free. I would never pay to use Yahoo Mail.
Posted by patti on 2013-02-21:
Too many way to sign into yahoo mail and all a pain in the ass . Just one that works will do instead of overloading my computer,
Posted by Kay on 2013-06-27:
I too switched to the new yahoo mail, instantly have flickers of half adds and the whole ads popping up mostly on the right upper part of my much smaller screene due to larger adds on the right and at the bottom of my screene. I hate to change mail providers, but this is not user friendly. I feel they have sent a Trojan to my account. I do not have spell check. This is miserable.

Yahoo Music is a scam! Save Yourselves!
Posted by Ticked at yahoo on 02/17/2006
Save yourself the time and headaches by NOT using the Yahoo music subscription services! Yahoo is very quick to charge your credit card, but not so quick to allow access to the music you pay for. It claims that there is a refund service should music fail to license. The problem is, no matter how much information about a track you give them, the transaction or anything else concerning their failure to deliver, you can never give them enough detail to process a refund. On top of that, in my case, for the songs I bought that Yahoo was kind enough to allow me to access, suddenly one day they would no longer play! Contact Yahoo AGAIN several times and i get the same stock answer that I need to provide more detail to fix the problem.
Yahoo Music subsciption is a scam! There is no one to police them so they can get away with it! Do not help them steal from you!

This is why my grandkids & I use Napster.
Posted by tjaco on 2006-10-26:
I will second that. My experience was a bit different having to do with the Yahoo auto renewal policy.
Yahoo uses extremely deceptive billing practices. I signed up for Yahoo music a year ago. Used it a few times but decided Rhapsody was better. I totally forgot about it until I saw a charge for Yahoo music on my credit card statement to renew another year. I figured no problem, I'll just call and cancel.
I was shocked to learn that Yahoo would not refund the subscription for the new year. They, of course, fall back on the contract which states failure to cancel before renewal results in automatic non refundable charge blah, blah blah. Fine, but I would expect a company of Yahoo's stature to put customer service above hiding behind legalese that, like it or not, not everybody reads. It's just plain slimy to lock people into paying for a service they don't want and aren't going to use. It says to me that Yahoo is not very confident about the appeal and/or value of their products. I will never be sucked into giving another dime to Yahoo no matter how attractive the offer sounds. Google's motto of "Don't be Evil" has never made so much sense.
Posted by honeeze on 2006-11-07:
oh man I wish I had seen this earlier. Yahoo Music charged my debit card and I have since incured over $257 charges negative to my checking account. Yahoo even told me on the phone they activated my INACTIVE card and now won't refund the money. My bank thought they could get it back but no luck. I'm smelling a class action lawsuit on this!! You can only cancel you Music membership via telephone--try find a phone number listed anywhere on yahoo it's impossible.
Yahoo sucks, I'm cancelling everything I can think of with them.
Posted by peace55 on 2006-12-31:
I agree - Yahoo website is deceptive. I cancelled my Music Membership within the 14 day free trial and they won't refund my $119 - said I'd signed up under a special promotion underwhich the free trial didn't apply. I went back to the website to see where I'd missed that and could n't find it anywhere. I also will not do business with Yahoo in the future. See my other posting for details.
Posted by myCent on 2007-09-06:
they pretty much did the same thing to me ( regarding the auto-renewal ). however, when i called, i would not take no for an answer. i did not care how many people i went through, or how many levels of management i had to talk to, they were going to give me my money back. i finally got a manager ( the fourth person up the chain ), he too told me that they would not refund the money. finally i told him that he could use the membership himself as i would not be using the piece of crap. i then requested to have him email me the name and number of his boss so that i could resolve this myself ( since a manager was not capable of authorizing a $74.88 refund ). he put me on hold for about a minute, returned to the phone and told me that my money would be refunded. that was three weeks ago, still no refund. i just thought i won that battle! i guess i will be making another call soon.

COMPARE YAHOO WEBSITES - Ridiculous SCAM! ...
http://ca.music.yahoo.com/ymu/ offers "Try It Free For 7 Days", hides the "NOTE: A valid
subscription is required to access saved songs" in light-grey small print outside the
advertisement frame, AND that:
Yahoo! Music Unlimited is available to Canadian subscribers only.
Cost? $83.88 per year, billed annually (that's just $6.99 per month).
http://music.yahoo.com/ymu/ offers "ENJOY 14 FREE DAYS ON US!", hides the "NOTE: A valid

http://music.yahoo.com/ymu/default.asp?tab=getstarted offers a $5.99/month annual
subscription - the same as the U.S.-based site above, but indicates fairly clearly (in
black text INSIDE the advertisement frame) that "A valid subscription is required to save
Monthly only subscription? $8.99/month!
CIRCUMSTANCES - GIVE THIS "Yahoo" company your credit card or banking information. It is
an incredible disgrace to realize that a multi-billion dollar company is succeeding (or
should I say "feeding") by ripping people around North America off! Does anyone really
believe that the ARTISTS are being paid by Yahoo!? Yeah, sure. If I were an artist, I
would think twice before allowing them to put MY WORK up for "sale". "Class Action"? I
can't wait! The customer service telephone recordings we have compiled should be worth something in way of punitive damages themselves! IT IS TIME TO STOP THESE PATHETIC corporate online BULLIES!
DO NOT ALLOW YOURSELVES TO BE RIPPED OFF ANYMORE! Good luck to all those who have lost
money (and time) to this scam!!!

I have been fighting with Yahoo & Rhapsody for months over this. Now they refuse to even respond to me. I have been BEGGING for customer technical support over my inability to listen to the music i paid for. I really wish i could find others who are ready to file a class action lawsuit.

Advertising on Yahoo is intrusive
Posted by Chilezee on 08/06/2012
Your recent form of advertising is so completely depressing that I am closing down my Yahoo account. I have had an account with you for at least 10 years, having moved from Hotmail to Yahoo because you seemed to protect your customers more from spam and adverts. This seems to have radically changed in the past year. The recent Open University advert is completely infuriating. It is utterly intrusive and exemplifies everything that is wrong with the internet today. Every time I try to send an email or read an email an advert completely takes over my entire screen to the extent that I can no longer do anything on Yahoo. I then have to close it down and start again. It is totally offensive and irritating and I now despise your company enough that I am quitting my 10 year account with you.

I can't relate to this. I use Yahoo! email "classic", which works well and the adverts are not intrusive. I also have Flash disabled much of the time while I surf, which could be related. I turn it on and off using ToggleFlash, one of several utilities out there.
I do find the popup Yahoo! banners along the bottom of the window for Shine and other things pretty obnoxious. This is one penalty for using Yahoo! as my home page.
Posted by Anna Molly on 2012-08-06:
I hate to say it, but they probably won't care. Your account was free, right? I highly recommend gmail.
Posted by bcd on 2012-08-06:
Yahoo! Mail Plus is available for $19.95 a year. The service eliminates the graphical ads and enables the use of an email client program to send and receive email. You may want to read about it at http://overview.mail.yahoo.com/enhancements/mailplus
Posted by JISCal2 on 2012-08-06:
The intrusive ads I've seen are on the first page and not on the send mail page. When you try to get to the link to get into your email is when the ad takes over. It is annoying, but its free so I just deal with it.
Posted by Jenna on 2012-12-14:
Yes, the service is free, so I expect advertising, but what they've done recently is ridiculous! I don't even like checking my email anymore b/c within 5 pages of use, the banner ad gets larger and larger with each successive page until it takes up the whole page and I have to relogin just to have it start over again. This is counterproductive and makes me not want to click on the banner, or ever use that product ever, or use my yahoo! mail. It feels like I mistakenly opened up a spam link which blasts me with their advertising.
Posted by ananomyous on 2013-03-07:
The ads with the flashing reds and other colors hurt my eyes. I do not wish to have these on my yahoo. They are ad sever ads. I told my husband today I am going to be leaving yahoo and going to another search engine if this continues. If I want to look an an ad, I know perfectly how to find one, I don't want them crammed down my throat hurting my eyesight.
Posted by Richie on 2013-06-25:
This annoying trend with Yahoo classic is clearly an attempt to coerce us into subscribing to a paid service which will, of course, be much more user friendly! And you're right - Yahoo won't give a damn about inconvenience to us "freeloaders" - just so long as we pay up!

Very Disgusting, Annoying, Underhanded Tactics by Yahoo!
Posted by Juykk3 on 06/30/2012
SANTA CLARA, CALIFORNIA -- I have noticed more and more disgusting, annoying, and underhanded tactics being used by Yahoo recently:
Offhand, I can cite the following:
1. Yahoo emails keep popping up with Yahoo Messenger notices about some unknown people wanting to contact me. It takes not just one click, but two clicks, in order to turn off the popup. Even then, that's only temporary. It keeps popping up again and again. I tried uninstalling Yahoo Messenger, Yahoo toolbar, and everything associated with Yahoo extras, as well as any other Messenger programs in my computer, but to no avail. Then I searched and learned that I need to go to my email and click on a smiley next to my username, then click on an item to turn off that messenger feature. How come Yahoo Messenger messages from strangers keep popping up even after I had uninstalled that Messenger program?
2. Recently, I can no longer 1-click to go to MyYahoo. Yahoo now pops up a full screen ad and I have to click on "Go to my page". Very annoying and shows Yahoo people are unconcerned about customer inconveniences and intent on forcing ads on its customers.
3. In general, Yahoo has been forcing ads and pop-ups on its customers/users with very annoying tactics, and designed so that it is difficult to disable their annoyances. What kind of ethics do the Yahoo executives abide by? Are they all susscribed to the principle of "Customers and users be damned"?

Yahoo is a free service, therefore they assault us with ads and other tactics to try to get revenue dollars. annoying, but tolerable once you find your way around the nonsense IMHO.
Posted by ok4now on 2012-07-01:
I actually like Yahoo and have not experienced the Pop-up Messenger notices. One or two extra clicks for a free service is nothing to complain about. This is not my primary email account. I find it useful to keep the spam and junk emails going here freeing up and not clogging up my primary account. I also enjoy their news articles, Yahoo Money and the other wealth of information that they provide. Did I mention that you get all of this for FREE...stop complaining.
Posted by trmn8r on 2012-07-01:
I use Yahoo! and have never had an Messenger popups - then again I don't use Messenger. I agree with raven - it is free, so we have to put up with all the advertising in exchange. I find it annoying from time to time...
Posted by Anna Molly on 2012-07-01:
I use Yahoo Messenger. Interestingly enough, I only had problems when I was using it while mobile. I constantly had requests from God know's who, wanting me to add them to my contact list.
For a different reason, I deleted my Yahoo account and created a new one. Voila! Problem solved..not a single unsolicited request, yet...
Posted by Anna on 2013-08-02:
I have a full page popup (purple in colour) outlining several Yahoo products which is impossible to get rid of. When it comes it blocks my email page completely, and yesterday it was 9 hours before I could sign into any of my yahoo email accounts. I am an internet marketer and this will destroy my business if it continues. Would it be too much to ask that Yahoo put an exit button somewhere at the top of this 4 page Purple add for those of us that have better things t do than take up to 10 hours enforced RESTS from our email?

Yahoo American Greetings
Posted by Jbiker on 01/28/2009
INDIANA -- Like others, I was trapped into an automatic renewal program. I did receive an e-mail about the renewal and the fact that I could cancel. But Yahoo, an internet icon, does not allow cancellation on-line.
The reason: when you call the given number, if connected at all (the first time I was sent into cyberspace) you will have to wait forever for a reply.
I've yet to learn if indeed they did cancel.

What is Yahoo American Greetings? There seem to be numerous complaints, but I've never checked them out.
Posted by Anonymous on 2009-01-28:
It's operated by American Greetings. The Yahoo American Greetings are free. But when I click on the free trial the next page says memberships are sold separately. A site map search yields no link to a cancellation policy. I did find that all service are provided by third parities. There's the problem because there's no way to find out who they are.
Posted by DebtorBasher on 2009-01-28:
Alot of companies won't take cancellations over the Internet because they want you to call them, so they can talk you out of it or try to sell you some kind of service...

Auto-renewal runaround...
Posted by Sonja on 04/24/2006
I recently e-mailed Yahoo Greetings to cancel my membership because they were about to renew FOR me and (of course) charge me another annual fee.
I received this e-mail:
"We prefer to process your cancellation in a secure manner. Therefore, we ask that you call us at 1-866-228-2434. We understand the inconvenience this may cause, but some cancellations require that we ask for information that is not safe to send via email."
This was my reply:
"This is a load of crap. You didn't need to speak to me to take my money and sign me up!!! I am sitting here on hold, waiting for "the next available agent" reconsidering my past praise and loyalty to Yahoo products..."
I had already written to Yahoo complaining because they won't give you an e-mail address -- only a link -- so you don't have proof that you ever contacted them. Now this.

I have to agree with Sonja. It is a load of crap. What's next. You can't cancel unless you personally deliver your cancellation request to one of our membership retention specialist in New Delhi India. "What's wrong with using a plane, did you forget how to do it?"
Posted by CobraCat77 on 2006-04-24:
I agree with JayD. Many companies have this policy in effect so that they can ask specifically why you want to cancel. If they can't entice you back, at least they can see if a disproportionate percentage of people are ticked with a certain aspect and they can then take steps to fix that problem.
And oh, they might want to make sure you're actually YOU, and not a disgruntled ex-student/neighbor/etc trying to get revenge on you.
Posted by viperpa33s on 2006-04-24:
I don't see what the big deal is, it's not like you have to pay for the call. I agree, they want to make sure it's you and not some other disgruntled person calling.
Posted by rhondam718732 on 2006-04-25:
I think the bottom-line is that all these companies have ZERO problems taking your money via the Internet without ever talking to you - and we all know fraud can take place there. So if a company demands you call to cancel as a way to "survey" you then pist on that. Time is valuable and Sonja said she was left on hold - who knows how long - and if you're calling from your cell that uses up your minutes. Overall - they are making it dofficult so that you let it go or give up and they can renew you. I once waited on hold 23 minutes - on my cell to cancel a service w/ Google that I wasn't allowed to cancel online.

Calling ain't so bad, it's waiting for someone to pick up the phone! They can easily find a secure way, they don't have a problem with taking your money!

Stupid Changes Without Choice
Posted by Appliedenvironmentals on 10/31/2013
COVINGTON, GEORGIA -- I have used Yahoo for ages and bought products from their sponsors. For some reason THEY decided we didn't like the older version and changed it for us without giving us a choice.
There are things you cannot do with this version you could do with the other version. A lot of my emails require a response. The very best way was to go between each question and respond. You can't do that anymore.
It has numerous bugs that frustrate you when you use it a great deal. You lose stuff and I've had to resort to going into word and generating my responses and pasting them in the field on Yahoo mail. Otherwise you get to the point you are ready to send and the whole page just disappears. Never ever had that problem before. Plus it gets stuck on the inbox and won't do anything. Plus more regular messages about can't send or can't load page (email). I have no clue why someone with successful, proven software would fix something that is not broken.
I DO BLAME THE NEW CEO for all these problems. Isn't this where the buck stops. If I was in charge, I would fire this individual but not allowing them to walk out the door until they fixed the problem by returning the system to a fully operational status. I have had to open an email account with another service. If I was an advertiser on Yahoo mail, I would have jumped ship about time all these complaints started to arise.

Yahoo mail is free so they can do with it what they please. Personally I have had few problems since the new version was released. But I am a casual Yahoo user. For all my serious stuff I use an email client.
Posted by nikalseyn on 2013-10-31:
You--and others--can complain all you want, but Yahoo has already said they could care less what people say and will continue with their "new and improved" Yahoo mail. They consider all the complaints just mumblings from the always disaffected. I use Yahoo mail but only once per day, if that and have not experienced any difficulties. Perhaps because I learned long ago from a prior "new and improved" Yahoo mail to not expect too much out of it. My suggestion is to simply stop using Yahoo mail and go to something else. There are many, many free email services out there to have to worry about one changing for the worse. Yahoo is going thru some difficult times and may just go under, regardless of how pretty and competent the new CEO is. Time will tell.
Posted by Paul on 2013-10-31:
At the price you pay for them to provide this service, it's hard to believe they don't listen to complaints.
Posted by Obsfucation on 2013-11-01:
There is a very simple solution. Download a free mail program like Microsoft Live Mail, and use it to access your Yahoo mail. You will have a fully featured mailbox, and you won't ever have to see an ad to get your mail. It is far superior to using their web based program.

Do You Want To Know How The (CORRUPT) Yahoo-Answers Really Works? It's Like Walking On Egg-Shells!
Posted by The2ndflood on 07/08/2008
After my 1st Yahoo Answers account was deleted earlier this year; I swore I would never use Yahoo Answers again. But I had come across a Question while searching for some info on Vitamins through Google; that lead to someone asking for help, because they were considering Suicide. So I had to help. This lead to me helping, this woman out, and I decided I would try to give YA another chance. GIANT MISTAKE! They Deleted my account after some people didn't (PERSONALLY) like what I had posted Questions & Comments on. Going through all that hard work; just to have it ruined by Yahoo yet again; did allow me to see the flaws in the service. So if your wondering how Yahoo Answer (REALLY WORKS); then please read the info below.
Here Is How Yahoo Answers Really Works. It Is Divided Into These Main Groups Of People::
((1. The Yahoo Answers Staff)) These staff don't really exist in the way a person might think they do. They are "Suppose" to help, but all they ever do is DELETE content that they themselves personally don't like. They also DELETE content that other users report to them. They also BAN users for LIFE. The staff (Never) helps; they just send out Generic-Responses. When they delete something; they then send out a Generic-Response. NO YAHOO STAFF EVER READS ANYTHING! THEY COLLECT PAYCHECKS FOR JUST SENDING OUT PRE-WRITTEN RESPONSES!
((2. The Yahoo Answers Site Rules)) These rules are (Vague) at best. They can be twisted in whatever way they need to be to justify a DELETION. But since the Staff never sends you (Personally-Written-Emails); they never have to explain what rules you broke; if any were broken at all. So the Staff can basically do anything that they want to.
((3. The Normal Users)) These are just people that are trying to be helpful. These are also the people that suffer under the Lack of Customer Care and from the "CRY BABIES".
((4. The Cry Babies)) are users that look for things to report. You will notice them because they end up Commenting on topics they are Against. So (Animal Hunters) will post Comments on (Vegan) issues. The Religious, against the Non-Religious. Males against Females; the list goes on. These Cry Baby users are also the ones that report what ever things they themselves PERSONALLY DON'T like. So instead of just (NOT) commenting and letting other like-minded users discuss topics; they report those posts to Yahoo. Where Yahoo doesn't even look into these conflicts, or even bother reading the posts; they just Delete the content.
""" I Have Literally Posted Questions Where I Cited Each Rule Into My Question; To Prove My Question Followed The Rules. But Yahoo Still Deleted It Without Any Explanation."""
((5. The Feedback/Help Forum)) This part of Yahoo Answers was set up so people could post Questions, Comments, and Suggestions about the site. Instead it is monitored by (Pro-Yahoo-Loyalist); who Bash pretty much everyone that posts anything Negative about Yahoo. Problems are (ALWAYS) made to seem like they are the USERS fault, NOT the fault of Yahoo. No Help can be found here; unless you consider Rude-Remarks a form of help. What's more pathetic about this area; is that Yahoo doesn't delete any of those rude user comments. They will however Delete the Suggestions & Comments that point out the flaws in Yahoo Products & Services.
So basically you set up an account to help. You spend countless hours Contributing to the site; all of the time having your own Questions and Answers reported to Yahoo behind your back. Those Reports are then NOT read, but the Content is removed anyway. One day you are sent an email telling you that Something, Somewhere broke Some Rules, and that your account has been Suspended. When you ask the simple question "Why?"; you are then insulted by being sent a Generic-Response that offers NO EXPLANATION. When you Plead your case; you are then sent another Generic-Response stating that NO account can be restored after it has been suspended. Even though Yahoo "Claims" you can plead your case to have your profile restored. Then as a (Final-Insult) Yahoo punishes not only you, but every single person that had a Question that you commented on; by deleting (ALL TRACES) of your activity. So if you spent months making Questions and Comments that were helpful; ALL OF THAT IS FOR NOTHING! Yahoo then not only Deletes (ALL) of your Questions, but then (ALL) of the Questions you help Answer. If you posted comments on 1000 Questions; ALL 1000 will be a DELETED!
So Yahoo Answers is so flawed; that they punish 1000 Other Users; Just Because Those Users Found (You) To Be The Most Helpful. How messed up is that?!
So in the end Yahoo Answers isn't Helpful. It is just a mix of Questions and Comments that the Yahoo Employees haven't yet gotten around to Deleting.

There must be some sort of software that scans the text. Your posting of links to drivers and forums must somehow trigger the software to cause a 'violation'. Maybe a reading of their online policy might give a clue to the trigger.

I've used it for years(not too much anymore) and only had a handfull of violations. Just stay within the guidelines and you'll be fine.

Sounds like you picked the wrong message board to debate politics on. I'm not familiar with that particular board, but the name alone leads me to believe it's not a political discussion forum.

You sound quite immature. All this drama and you've only been using the service two weeks. If you want to go on Yahoo Answers to flame other users and complain about Yahoo marketing practices, don't whine and moan about about getting violations. Yahoo has a TOS section. Read it, follow it, and you won't receive violation notices.

The people that ask these questions try to draw you in. They have ten accounts and then report anyone that answers. Classics are the suicide threats, Tell me what political party I belong in, Do you agree with gay marriage. Answer it and you are don. Don't bother appealing because the moderators are just little kids that Yahoo hires for cheap that also have the same mentality ask the person that asks the question.

U.S. Women's European Tour to Feature Pay-per-View and FOX Sports World Broadcast in U.S.
CHICAGO (Friday, May 26, 2000) - For the first time since the 1995 Women's World Cup in Sweden, fans of the U.S. Women's National Team will have an opportunity to watch the team in action live on foreign soil when two of the team's July matches in their upcoming tour of Europe are broadcast live back to the United States on pay-per-view.
Innovative Sports Marketing has acquired the U.S. broadcast rights for a number of the team's upcoming European games including the final match in the DFB 100th Anniversary Tournament, featuring the U.S. battling host Germany on July 22 in Braunscheig, Germany, and the team's second of two matches in Norway against the 1995 Women's World Cup champions on July 30 in Oslo.
Both of those matches will be aired live in the U.S. on pay-per-view, while the other U.S. matches in Germany (against Norway on July 16 and against China on July 19) will air tape-delayed on Fox Sports World. The two pay-per-view matches are available as a package for just $19.95 (or individually for $14.95) and will air on back-to-back weekends (USA-Germany on Saturday, July 22 at 11:30 a.m. ET, and USA-Norway on Sunday, July 30 at 2 p.m. ET).
The pay-per-view matches are available to fans on DirecTV, the DISH Network and on the following cable providers: Time-Warner (New York City, North New Jersey), Cablevision (New York City, North New Jersey, Long Island, Connecticut, Boston) and Cox Cable (Northern Virginia). For more information on additional cable outlets offering the pay-per-view telecasts fans can log on to www.ppvsports.com or call ISM at 201-610-0200.

Hey folks – thanks to your interest and requests, there is now a FREE mp3 available of Weezer's new cover of Barry Manilow's "Like A Good Neighbor", on the State Farm Nation facebook page. Check it out!
When we were setting up The Memories Tour, the good people at State Farm asked the band, "Would you sing our jingle for us?" Weezer then asked if the jingle was from a whole song, and if anyone had recorded it lately. So State Farm went back to their headquarters to find out the answers. What they came back with was that "all we could find was the lyrics and sheet music, we are not sure anyone has ever recorded the whole song." It turns out Barry Manilow wrote the song, back when he was just starting out and wrote songs for commercials to pay his bills. Rivers looked over the sheet music and said "this is a great song; we should record the whole thing." So the band went into the studio and had a lot of fun rocking out with Mr. Manilow's tune, hoping he would be proud of the results. This video was shot on a day in early December while Weezer recorded the song.The video can be watched right now on State Farm Nation Facebook page. Check it out!

HAHA Hell YA!

This is great

Topics: Ethan Beard, Facebook, J.C. Penney, Open Graph, plug-ins, social commerce
I've never felt the need to buy a pair of jeans, a shirt, or really anything else on Facebook. From nearly everyone I regularly talk to about social media and e-commerce, that's the norm.
Few, if any, retailers who have opened Facebook storefronts where consumers can make purchases on the social network have reported sales, suggesting that the number of consumers who have bought on the social network are few and far between.
But that hasn't stopped a slew of retailers large and small—from multichannel department store chain J.C. Penney to online clothing seller StyleQ—from launching Facebook storefronts in the past few months. And they're not even the early adopters.
Those storefronts essentially duplicate the retailer's web site within Facebook. But those storefronts often offer an inferior experience to a retailer's e-commerce site because of the natural constraints of building a store within Facebook's confines.
That's why Facebook storefronts are not what the social network is after, says Ethan Beard, director of the Facebook Developer Network, who oversees a team that works to build partnerships with merchants and other businesses.
"We're not trying to recreate Internet on Facebook.com," he says. "In fact, I spend most of time working with people to socialize the web outside of our site."
What's that mean? That the social network knows that consumers like myself don't care to visit J.C. Penney's Facebook page, dig through their catalog to find a pair of jeans in my size and complete a purchase on the site.
Facebook understands that consumers like me are conditioned to visiting a retailer's web site when they want to make a purchase. We're similarly conditioned to visit Facebook.com to boast about the bargain we scored or the bad customer service experience we had. That's why Facebook is looking to leverage each destination's strengths via the Open Graph, which allows the social network to gather information about Facebook users both on the social network and from other sites, as well social plug-ins that allow retailers to add features such as the Like button to their sites.
The Facebook Like button is just one example of the many ways that Facebook is seeking to develop a more nuanced view of social commerce. By making it simple for a consumer to click that she Likes a pair of jeans, Facebook hopes that she does clicks the button so that that information is shared with everyone she's connected with.
I'm sure Facebook will continue developing more plug-ins and features like the Like button that retailers can add to their sites to encourage consumers to share. That's because it only makes sense for Facebook to do so. It wants consumers to share more information because more information translates into more content on its site. That, in turn, could lead consumers to spend more time on Facebook. And, with more consumers spending more time on the site, Facebook can generate higher advertising sales.
Disagree. The future of social commerce does include Facebook. Facebook provides a very powerful and opportunistic channel to sell products and conduct commerce. If location is the number one rule in retail, than 500 million people makes Facebook a must-have location. It will not replace e-commerce, but it will complement it with new opportunity and experiences. Just as I can buy a Coke at the supermarket and at McDonalds and at the ballgame and in a vending machine. I can buy the same products at the local store and on the merchants website and thru eBay and now on Facebook. It doesn't have to be either/or. While we are in the first inning of social commerce, its easy to say there are no hits or runs, but maybe a few errors. The new year promises to heat things up as we move away from transplanting an e-commerce store into a facebook tab and hope for the best and into merchandising with social networking features that engages fans in new and powerful ways that e-commerce simply does not address. There are two facebook stores, powered by Milyoni (disclosure: my company), that did extremely well in the last few months...The Miami Heat and the University of Oklahoma. Not because they put a store in Facebook, but because they did a great job of merchandising using social networking that rewarded their fans, generated buzz, and provided special offers and exclusive deals not found elsewhere. With all due respect to Ethan Beard and the Facebook team, they didn't predict the potential of gaming within Facebook, they might not know exactly how this will play out in commerce either. They know its coming in a big way...hats off to them for letting the market and innovators figure this one out and letting start-ups go at it with vigor. Facebook is wide OPEN for commerce.

what was previous " comment" anyway, Facebook sucks. I do not see it as a primary e commerce site. It is already gummed up w/games @ bad applications. Just to stay current socially U need a secratary. Mark Zuckerman,please do us all a favor.Cash out NOW. Let GM buy it, run it into the ground,and we can get on with our lives.
Provocative post Zak. I agree with you...The future of social commerce is not on Facebook. or perhaps I should say...The future of social commerce should not be on Facebook. Without a doubt, Facebook is a vital component of social media engagement, a relationship and loyalty builder. However, from a marketing perspective, I find myself reminding Retailers and consumer brand clients that they should never give up ownership of their relationship with their customers. I believe that the primary website based on the user experience (ecommerce website or mobile mcommerce version driven by device used by consumer) should always be the destination. Social media is a powerful tool to build and engage with audiences, but should never own your relationship with the consumer. From the perspective fo the CMO or CEO, I believe making Facebook the destination increases the power of Facebook's more than it builds social influence of the brand. When the platform is used as a jumping point to their own ecommerce or mcommerce site, there is much more to be gained...such as analytics, nimble content development, optimization for search, emails based on shopping cart abandonment, etc. can truly build and leverage those relationships to improve loyalty and sales. Facebook is a fabulous way to drive promotion, sale of specific products, customer feedback and one-to-one engagement, but Facebook's desire to become the platform for purchases is designed purely for their benefit. Don't get me wrogn, there is no harm in a good business model, and with an IPO slated for 2012, Facebook has great incentive to aggregate as many eyeballs and relationships as possible to generate ad revenue to deliver value to current and future shareholders. However, It is incumbant upon each Internet Retailer to identify the proper platform for their long-term success. The answer could very well include a Facebook commerce page. However, each Retailer must leverage strategy, analysis and long-term goals to determine the proper integration between their store and social platforms. I would be remiss if I didn't also mention the additional benefit created by the relationship between social queus and organic search engine performance for Internet Retailers...especially when traffic is directed to their own website. Much is to be gained from search when content on the Retailer's web site is "liked", shared, or specific promotions, deals or sales are shared on visitor's social media accounts. Bottom line...Facebook is here to stay, and there is genius behind the Open Graph model, but I believe the Retailer should always own the relationship with their customers for optimum results over time. I look forward to reading other's thoughts. Rebecca Murtagh a/k/ @VirtualMarketer on Twitter
Zak-you hit the nail on the head. Unless Facebook can offer value to the user experience, they have no business getting involved with eCommerce. By value, I mean a reason people would use Facebook to purchase. eBay offers value with their auction type model, shopping comparison sites offer aggregate data for quick purchasing review, search engines offer relevant search results, marketplaces (Amazon, Sears, Walmart) offer variety, but more importantly, customers who are ready to buy. There is no reason for the customer to shop or buy on Facebook. Also, with all the third party plugins for Facebook storefronts, it will make it extremely difficult for Facebook to aggregate and standardize this data. By opening up their software platform (which has had it's fair share of problems), they lose control and standardization which would help them develop a unified eCommerce experience. If Facebook starts to leverage the reviews, Like's, and other data points it has been collecting (on products, businesses, etc...), they could have a very unique and valuable system for product comparison/search.

Are you modestly proficient w/ semi-auto handguns, or have at least a good understanding. Of those times you went shooting w/ your brothers what type of pistol(s) did you shoot and did you like the fit and feel of any of them?
Hi, how are you? I am a female in my 20s and looking to purchase my first pistol. There are times with my job that I need to drive through neighborhoods that arent 'ideal' and therefore would like to buy a pistol for protection. I have gone shooting with my brothers a handful of times and also plan to take lessons once I purchase, but was hoping you could help give me some ideas as to which one(s) I should be looking at. I am slim and slightly taller than the average woman and I have slightly longer than average fingers for a female too -- though I am not a strong girl at all. I will likely carry the gun in my glove-compartment or some place else in my car when I go through those areas, but also (with a permit) may carry in my purse...so I would need something that is a bit on the light side, and a smaller barrel, but something easy to shoot and it must be reliable.
Can anyone help a girl who is new to buying a pistol with some idea(s) of which pistol(s) I should look to buy -- again, for a female please. I very much appreciate your help.
Thank you for your time!

Get a holster if you are going to ccw. Ankle or hip under a jacket. In a bad hood your purse is the first thing to go bye bye and it won't do a thing for you in the glove box. There are several compact 9's available. Ruger also makes the LCP 380 with laser sight for 360 ish. It would be a nice hideout and ammo is $13-17 a box so you can shoot it a lot at the range to get proficient.
Check out the new S&W Shield in 9mm they might be a bit hard to find but sounds like a perfect fit for your needs.....JJ
I think your on the right track with a 9mm, and as the others have suggested there are allot of options available to you, my advise would be to go to a range that rents guns and see what they have in the size and caliber your thinking of and shoot them, handguns are very hard to give advise on and if you ask 10 people you will probally get just about as many different answers, I bought my wife... which sounds about the same size as you a S/W M&P 9mm and she handles it very well, the m&p has 3 different palmswells that you can try to get the best fit for your hand size I think that is a very nice feature, Just a word of caution, there are many different types of saftey features on handguns that will come into play. esp. with a newer shooter, the m&p also comes in different sizes also. some are compact for carry and some are full size and are a little harder to concelle (sp) also as someone just said they just came out with the M&P Shield which is sub compact, just keep in mind as you go with a smaiiler frame the gun can get harder to handle. my 2cents
Girls can shoot anything boys can shoot, if they put in the same amount of effort. I have seen tiny girls shoot .45's like a pro, and big men whine about the recoil on a .38 Special.
If you intend to practice as much as you should to be proficient enough for concealed carry, I would recommend a medium sized pistol, or maybe even a revolver in 3" or 4" barrel. You could get something about the size of a Glock 19, or maybe the XD-9 that would be a decent range gun, and maybe swap it later for something smaller, if you think it necessary.
If you start out with something too small, it's going to require a lot more practice to master, and be less pleasant to shoot. Typically, small 9mm's are tiring to shoot a couple thousand rounds through....which is about the minimum number of rounds I would suggest before carrying a gun for the first time. At that point, the Kahr 9mm's are a good option, or a double stack like the Glock 26, XD-9 subcompact, or any one of several others.
If you aren't going to practice frequently, it might be best to go with a revolver, since they are probably easier for the inexperienced shooter to figure out.

I would like to recommend you take a self defense class BEFORE you decide on a weapon. You will learn things in the class that will change your thoughts on how/where you want to carry your handgun. As mentioned, in the glove compartement is going to do you little good and a purse if the 1st thing someone will go after if they are not after you personally. There are numerous ways and locations to carry on your person and that is where the class may help.
Also find a local range that has a decent rental fleet. It is difficult to know what is going to work best for you. Once you have had the class and a better idea of how you want to carry you can try different guns at the range to see what you are more comfortable with and fits your carry needs.
I went in looking for a full size all steel 9mm, I ended up with a Full size still, but went for the M&P. I think a M&P 9c or shield might work well for you, but you need to try them 1st. They are available with and without the thumb safety depending on what you prefer.
I agree with the suggestion of attending the class before buying the gun. My CCW rotation: Sig P290, Beretta Nano, Taurus 709, Glock G19. They are all good shooters. However, for some reason, I carry Nano more and more. I would highly recommend Nano for you if it fit in your hand nicely. Handle them all, shoot them all if possible. The gun is very personal thing. I was a bit too rush into buying, ended up too many guns in hand. Only have 2 sons to pass them on. Good luck in finding the right one for yourself.
If you live in a good sized city there may be gun shops that rent different guns to shoot at their range....You need to see what sized guns you are able to shoot accurately.... Small 9mm`s have hefty recoil and may be difficult to shoot accurately...And it`s not just women that have problems shooting them...men have problems also....
That said my wife liked the Smith&Wesson M&P 9mm semi auto pistol...the grip fit her very well in fact I liked it also....She also liked the Walther PPQ 9mm. pistol...There are more also
If you can only afford one gun, take your time and do your research before buying. Semi-autos are cool but they require regular maintenance and can be a hassle to take apart for proper cleaning and lubing after a shooting session. They can also be finicky about what type of ammo they will eat. Not only do you want one that fits your hand and doesn't bite your skin with the slide, or freak you with the recoil, you want one that's RELIABLE and easy to maintain.
Go check out the gun videos on youtube. Type in a search for any gun you're considering and you'll probably find a handful of videos of people shooting or reviewing that model. You'll also find lots of videos of women and even children firing different guns. That'll give you a general notion of how easy it might be to handle. It will help you narrow your choices. Then you can go to a gun store or range and see what they have. The reason I suggest watching the videos first is that you can hold a gun in store but won't have an idea of how it handles. And if you go to a range there's a chance they will have a limited array of models to choose from. In both cases, they may try to sell you whatever they profit from most.
And don't be too hung up on caliber. Lightweight guns will recoil more than steel ones, and smaller guns more than big heavy ones. A big bullet with a powerful load will be harder to control in a pocket pistol. It's better to shoot someone dead in the face with a 32 than shoot the air all around them with a dozen stray 45s.
Also, Bisley's suggestion that you consider a revolver is a good one. A lightweight hammerless 357 or 38 special might be a good choice. Revolvers are much easier to maintain, but you'd probably want a new one, and a name brand. Don't be tempted to buy a cheapie if you're staking your life on it.
If you are set on a 9mm semi, check out Berettas and a CZ-75. Both are reliable, well-made guns you can trust.
It's also wise to google the name of any gun you are considering. You will find a wealth of info, good or bad, on just about any gun that was ever made.
Good Luck. Or should I say Happy Hunting!
Just because a revolver is functionally "simpler" than a semi-auto, doesn't make it any more of a ladies gun than any other firearm. To assume that a lady must "love guns" before being able to cope with a mechanical safety, is silly. Personal preference is one thing, and gender bias is another. You don't have to love guns in order to carry one, but if you carry without being proficient with your chosen firearm, you're a fool....male or female.
The age-old "trade-off" in handguns is especially applicable to the ladies..... short barrel, light weight, only 5 or 6 rounds equals much more perceived recoil. REGARDLESS OF GENDER. That being said, get some training FIRST.... a good instructor will have a variety of guns for you to try out.
Once proficient with the fundamentals, then anyone can learn to shoot any caliber, as well as learn to shoot either a revolver, or a semi-auto.
Caliber comes AFTER proficiency in the fundamentals. Start with a .22 caliber something. Once a new shooter begins to flinch from shooting a large caliber right away, it's tough to "unlearn" it.
Shop for a firearm just like you shop for shoes.......
Shoes...... when you buy 'em, you try 'em on first...... if they don't feel good, you don't buy 'em..... if they feel good, and you buy 'em, chances are that you still might need to break in the shoes, and your feet.
Guns..... try 'em on first...... if they don't feel good, you don't buy 'em......... if they feel good, and you buy 'em, chances are that you still might need to practice with it, and enhance your ability to use it.....
Buying a handgun simply because someone else has one is just foolish. If there were a "best" handgun, we'd all own it, and the huge selection of handguns to choose from wouldn't exist.
Hey ........
I have introduced a few folks to handguns that were completely clueless, going in, and one of the conclusions I have made is that some folks (most) immediately love shooting, if started out in a way that will remove some of their preconceived notions about recoil, 'knockdown power,' and the supposedly devastating power of whatever the Internet 'experts' are touting at any given time.
However, some don't immediately love shooting, and are merely trying to take a sensible approach to protecting themselves, with the minimum amount of intrusion upon their lifestyles. Women often occupy this latter group, in greater numbers than men. Among this group, the perception is quite often that revolvers are simpler to operate than pistols, and believing that, these folks are able to move on, past the confusion of how the gun actually works, and focus on safety and the mechanics of making a bullet hit a target. I think this is a perfectly acceptable approach, for a person who does not necessarily 'love' shooting, but is merely adding something useful to whatever they have chosen as their self defense strategy. As this type of person progresses, they often transition into pistols, but they do it at their own pace.
I personally favor striker fired pistols, without manual safeties, for self defense, but each person needs to determine their own personal comfort level, in order to make the most of their training.
Revolvers are simpler for some ladies to operate until it comes to reloading. If a lady needs more than 5 or 6 rounds, the speedloader learning curve is usually greater than that of a magazine fed handgun. Over the years, I've personally seen far more women trade in revolvers for semi-autos than the other way around. That being said, it's entirely a matter of personal preference... as it should be. In my Basic Pistol class, I provide around 12-15 handguns of varying platform, caliber, and size, so that folks can see for themselves where their preferences may lie.
I'm constantly amazed at the folks who (with nothing but GOOD intentions) recommend a particular handgun to a new shooter, as if the new shooter is supposed to have the same "feel/fit" preferences. I compare that to suggesting a particular brand/model of shoe for another person.... it's rarely a good fit.
IMHO S&W Shield and Ruger LC9 (with finger extension mag) are good choices. 7 rounds. Safety. small and light. Find what fits you hand, which trigger you like (long or short pull) and which mechanisms (safety, hammer or striker, etc.) and take a gun safety course and practice practice practice.
The Best Female Carry Guns - YouTube
Damn she has a LOT of guns... not necessarily any I'd go for but worth a peek.
Plus there are other videos in the "related" column worth looking at.
Like the one from a female instructor.
The BEST Female Gun Collection - YouTube
A point about any handgun, but semi autos in particular, the hand strength required to execute the manual of arms to operate the weapon, load the weapon, rack the slide, disassemble and assemble, load magazines, etc. Male or female recoil, weight and size is highly subjective but the ability to comfortably perform the manual of arms is step 1 critical. Same would apply to men or women, arthritus suffers or someone with a hand injury. Some springs and tight fitting parts can make operation difficult if you do not have sufficient hand strength with good dexterity. After checking out multiple types to see what appeals to you make sure you can perform the manual of arms. My wife owns a Sig P228 but she doesn't carry and isn't particularily interested in guns. But she can shoot and operate that P228 easily enough. By contrast my sister-in-law can't rack the slide so the 228 would be a non-starter for her. What works well for one does not necessarily work well for others. Once you have narrowed down your choices only you will be able to make some of these pass or fail decisions.
On a final note I'd caution against buying into the only small guns are suitable for women speeches you may recieve at the gun counter. On average they are harder to shoot well and recoil can be unpleasant to down right brutal. The ideal goal would seem to be a weapon small and light enough to meet your carry needs yet large enough to get a good grip on and shoot well with practice.
"Best 9mm Pistol for a FEMALE?"
The one she likes best.
The one you shoot best.
There are so many pistols available today, my advice is to go to a range -- rent a different pistol each time -- and shoot it.
Size will vary with your needs. if you are going to carry it in your purse, make sure you can access it quickly. Often our bodies are not contoured for IWB (inside the waist band) holster carry. The "pocket pistols" some guys suggest don't work if you're wearing a skirt, or a business suit.
I do not quite understand why so many women ask Guys, "what gun should I carry?". They often suggest totally inappropriate guns. Guys seem to LOVE to suggest little snub-nosed revolvers, ultra-light ones, for Women -- then wonder why those Women do not want to shoot with them. The fact they (the Guys) don't like the recoil of the little revolvers never seems to count.
Little pocket pistols tend to be hard to hold on to. Short grips. It's also difficult for a new shooter to be minimally accurate with those little guns. Short barrels, exaggerated recoil, short grips -- all a recipe for frustration.
Perhaps a midsized Glock (G19) or a compact or sub-compact Springfield XDm in 9mm -- at least to start. I lean toward the XDm just because of the additional safety features.
BUT -- it depends on what you like to shoot, what fits YOU best, what YOU handle best -- my hands a fairly large - so I shoot pistols some of my friends just can't handle. At the same time, due to age and arthritis I am no longer comfortable shooting pistols I once handles easily.
You have to find what fits you best. Of course, if you take advice given -- and then discover it's not the right gun for you ---- it's not the end of the world -- just move on and buy another one. What you like might just change with experience.
I suggest you rent the Ruger SR9c and LC9 at the local range to try.
If the gun just doesn't feel right in your hands, even prior to shooting it, pass on it. You will not shoot it well.
Depending on the range I would recommend trying a few guns in a range visit. My local range you pay one time and can try anything in thier case. I would check with your range and see if they have a "per day rental" fee or if it is a fee per gun..
I had 5 guns in mind the 1st day I went, so I shot 10 rounds each. That is not many rounds per gun to REALLY get to know it, but it can quickly narrow down the field of options. Out of the 5 I shot, I crossed two off my list before I even walked away from my lane with them to try the next gun... I waited a week and then went back and fired the 3 remaining in reverse order. Then I looked at the case and chose 2 I had not fired before as well. At that point I had settled on the one I liked so I bought another box of ammo and put 50 rounds thru it varying strong hand, off hand, etc really getting to know how it shot for me in as many ways as possible.
How it shoots can change everything. I ended up ordering that gun a week later and now carry it every day. It is NOT the gun I went in wanting as top choice. I wanted full steel 92fs or CX75, I left with the poly M&P..
First, you have to decide how you intend to carry. On the belt? In a purse? On the ankle?
Then you have to decide on your level of proficiency. Very small weapons carry well, but are difficult to shoot.
In my opinion, if it is a weapon for someone with limited shooting experience (and 20 years old suggests a limited experience), that a 9mm with a full sized grip will be easiest to shoot. A Glock 19 would work well.
But if I were recommending a first carry weapon, I'd probably suggest a medium frame in .380 caliber. Such as a Walther PPK or PPKS. They are very easy to shoot and have a very manageable recoil.
There are many others in that same size/caliber range. I mentioned the Walther because it has been around a long time, is very reliable, and (I owned a PPKS) very easy to shoot. It has good sights, and can be ankle carried if wish. But it is fairly expensive, and there are some less expensive options that have good reputations.
But I would avoid a "micro" gun at this stage.
I vote against the PPK and the PPKS. Recoil far greater than it should be for a 380. Can be difficult to rack if you have small or weak hands. Please try to stay away from simple blowback pistols.
I still recommend a Glock 19, compact XDm, S&W M&P, or some other mid sized 9mm. No snub-nosed revolvers or subcompact pistols until you learn the basics of trigger control, etc.
Please do not steer this person toward an LCP, P3-AT, or any other micro pistol.
Proper grip, decent barrel length so it's easier to aim accurately, reliable and soft shooting - in fact, a Sig 229 in 9mm would also do the trick.
Most of those little guns they market to women -- the same ones men do not like to shoot -- only serve to drive women away from the shooting sports.

Homesteading, Organic Gardening, How to Farm, Preparedness, Self-Reliance
For many people these are uncertain times. Falling confidence in government leaders and financial markets, increased congestion, a loss of job security and eroding health of the environment as well as our food supply have left many of us longing for more peace and more control over our lives. These virtues come from living at peace with nature and by re-learning lost skills that result in increased individual and family independence rather than the dependence on centralized government, industrial food and central bankers that blanket so much of society.
Welcome to Farm Dreams!
The goal of Farm-Dreams.com is to help like-minded souls connect with others who are interested in more independent, self-sufficient and sustainable living. Whether you're interested in becoming a farmer or cheese maker, a homesteader, preparing for a societal collapse or just want to live farm life vicariously through connecting with others, Farm Dreams aims to be a resource for all of the above. We believe the diverse topics of survival, homesteading/farming and preparedness are all connected. With your help, we will build a community that will weave those topics together so that will may all learn, becoming inspired and take action to make our lives more fulfilling and more independent.
Start living your farm dream today!

Mental health review begins after Newtown shootings
HARTFORD (AP) -- Connecticut lawmakers are reviewing mental health care following the Newtown school shooting, even though they and the public have little insight into what might have been ailing the 20-year-old gunman.
A prosecutor says he cannot release any information about Adam Lanza's mental health because of state conduct rules for attorneys.

" Don't care about Adam Lanza's state of mind. He was clearly severely impaired. What I would like to know is if lab tests were done on him and any prescription psychiatric drugs were found in his system. It may prove their side effects cause this type of behavior, and with so many physicians now prescribing them to everyone, including children it's of utmost importance. Of course the medical lobby in Washington and Hartford would rather we don't hear about it. "

About 33 million Americans will travel 50 miles or more from home during this Labor Day holiday weekend, a 2.9 percent increase over last year, the AAA predicts.
The Labor Day holiday travel period is defined as extending from Thursday, Aug. 30, to Monday, Sept. 3.
Travel in New England is expected to increase by 3 percent during that period, compared to Labor Day of 2011. Of that figure, New England auto travel is expected to increase 3.2 percent, while air travel in the region will be up 3.7 percent. Approximately 11.3 percent of the New England population is expected to travel this Labor Day weekend, exceeding the national projection of 10.5 percent, the auto club reports.
All that travel will be happening at a time when gas prices are on the rise again.

In Connecticut, the average price for a gallon of regular gas has hit the $4 mark after hovering just below that price over the last week, according to the website Connecticutgasprices.com.
To get gas prices in your area, go to Southington Patch's Commute section.
Average gas prices in the state are about 9 cents higher than a year ago at this time, AAA reports. Today's national average price for a gallon of gas is $3.80, which is 17 cents higher than last year.
Despite that increase, this year's total number of Labor Day travelers is expected to reach a new post-recession high. It's also the third increase in holiday travel this year, according to AAA. The national auto club projected increases of 1.2 percent and 4.9 percent, respectively, for Memorial Day and July Fourth this year.
The auto club attributes the holiday increases this year to an uptick in consumer confidence.
Of the 33 million travelers across the country this holiday weekend the AAA predicts that:
- About 85 percent will travel by car, a 3.1 percent increase over last year
- 8 percent will fly, a 3.7 percent increase over 2011
- The remaining 7 percent are expected to use other modes of transportation, including cruise ship, rail and bus, a nominal 0.2 percent decrease over last year.

Sweet! Honey That Heals Wounds
While diabetics have limited options for treating persistent sores, Manuka honey seems to work.
Honey isn't just a food these days. It's gaining ground among doctors as an ointment for helping wounds heal. That's sweet news for diabetics, who tend to develop persistent and serious skin injuries.
It's not any old honey, though, that has medical experts energized. It's a certain type, called Manuka honey, that has particularly potent antimicrobial properties. Manuka honey comes only from New Zealand and Australia, countries where there are swaths of Manuka bushes (Leptospermum scoparium), a type of evergreen on which bees can forage. Other types of honey have some antimicrobial properties, but they lack key substances that make Manuka honey so potent. So, don't raid the pantry for the nearest honey jar. Dousing wounds with store-bought honey, which isn't medical grade, can be a disaster, experts warn. In fact, it's likely to worsen the wound if bandages aren't changed very frequently, and it might contain problematic microorganisms, since it hasn't been irradiated the way medical grade Manuka honey is. To get the potent stuff, you'll have to talk to a doctor who can order a prescription for Medihoney. That medical device, manufactured by the company Derma Sciences, is the only FDA-cleared, honey-infused wound dressing on the American market.
Other companies, such as New York-based Honeymark, sell honey-based wound creams and lotions online. (Honeymark's products also contain Manuka honey, but they are less tightly regulated by the FDA and aren't necessarily consistent from batch to batch.) Honeymark also offers honey-derived anti-itch and pain creams and says it has plans to begin selling soaps and hand sanitizers containing Manuka honey within the next few weeks.
