4. James Toney – 2003: 2-0 (1)
Going into 2003, Toney was in a funk in terms of career advancement. While he had won 11 straight since suffering a 1-2 stretch between December 1996 and May 1997, Toney was treading water between cruiserweight and heavyweight. He weighed as much as 226 against Wesley Martin (KO 3) and as little as 187 versus Steve Little (W 12). The old-school skills were still there but the drive that pushed him to glory at 160 and 168 was not firing on all cylinders.
That all changed when he signed for an April 26 fight on HBO against IBF cruiserweight titlist Vassiliy Jirov, a 1996 Olympic gold medalist who forged his 31-0 (27) record on his extraordinary body attack. The challenge of winning a third divisional title motivated Toney, a boxing history buff, to get into tremendous condition, the effects of which definitely showed on fight night.
For years the rap on Toney was his inability to fight three minutes of every round and many believed Jirov's smothering volume attack would exhaust the 34-year-old's gas tank. But "Lights Out" fooled everyone by keeping pace with Jirov (68 punches to 86 per round) and being the far more accurate man (47 percent to 24 percent overall, 50 percent to 29 percent power). Jirov hurt himself by incurring a point penalty for low blows in the eighth but Toney hurt him even more by scoring a knockdown in the 12th that powered him to a 117-109 (twice), 116-110 decision.
Toney-Jirov was one of the year's best fights and a rematch would have been an attractive option. But Toney had always yearned to succeed as a heavyweight and on Oct. 4 he met four-time heavyweight titlist Evander Holyfield on pay-per-view. Though the "Real Deal" was days away from his 41st birthday and had gone just 2-3-2 in his last eight fights, Holyfield still was thought to be too big and strong for the onetime middleweight. Toney proved the doubters wrong by producing his best heavyweight performance. Landing 61 percent of his total punches and 63 percent of his hooks, crosses and uppercuts, a solidly conditioned 217-pound Toney clinically carved up Holyfield before scoring a ninth round knockdown and forcing his corner to throw in the towel between rounds nine and 10.
The Jirov and Holyfield fights propelled Toney's star back to the stratosphere in terms of in-the-ring form as well as his standing amongst fans and media. When one considered where Toney had been at the start of 2003, the accomplishments during this 12-month stretch were nothing short of amazing.

Why not renew Richard's contract?
Published: Sunday, January 28, 2007 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, January 27, 2007 at 12:05 a.m.
I am a retired teacher and worked 33 years in Terrebonne Parish. I have known Ed Richard during that time as a principal and a supervisor.
I dont usually write letters such as this, but I feel several Terrebonne Parish School Board members need to rethink their decisions.
When I sat in the board room during the vote last week, I could not understand why some of them voted not to renew the contract. I also did not know a tie vote could remove someone. I thought a majority was usually required. Those in favor gave reasons why they supported Richard. Those who were against said nothing or when asked following the meeting, refused to explain why they voted that way.
If you talk with most of the employees, you will find that there is a more positive feeling toward the superintendent than there has been in a while. He is visible in the schools and attends many after-school functions when he is aware of them. He cares about the teachers, staff and most of all the students.
Board members need to remember that they were elected to represent their constituents. They were not given this privilege to have their own agenda. I suggest to the public that if you have not talked with your board member, call him and let him know how you feel about the voting. Unfortunately we just had an election. I only wish it was taking place following this course of events.
I hope that when this is brought up again all board members are ready to vote the way the people in their districts feel.

The median price paid for a Bay Area home continued to fall in February, posting lower prices from a year ago for the fifth month in a row while sales were essentially flat.
That is leading to a record level of investors and cash buyers snapping up homes, according to a report released Thursday by MDA DataQuick.
The median sales price paid for a new or existing single-family house or condominium in the nine-county Bay Area was $337,250, down 0.2 percent from January, and down 4.7 percent from a year ago. The median is the point at which half of the homes sell for more and half sell for less. A total of 4,991 homes closed escrow in February, up 0.5 percent from January, but down 0.9 percent from a year ago.
All-cash buyers accounted for a record 30.9 percent of home sales in February in the Bay Area, up from 28.7 percent in January, and the highest monthly level since January 1988. That is when DataQuick began keeping tabs on residential real estate.
Last month, absentee buyers -- mainly investors -- purchased 23.4 percent of homes, up from 22.8 percent in January. Since 2000, the monthly average for absentee buyer transactions have averaged 13.5 percent.
"Sales over the past two months certainly underscore the market's reliance on investor and cash purchases at a time many potential buyers hesitated to act. But it's not clear that the January-February figures say much, if anything, about where the market is headed. Historically, those two months have been weak indicators of what happens next," said John Walsh, DataQuick president.
But for now, investors and cash buyers, mostly local people, are indeed very active in the market, said Kevin Kieffer, a Realtor in the Danville office of Keller Williams Realty.
"(Investors) are looking for good rental opportunities that are out there," said Kieffer. Many of these buyers already own a home and are looking for rental income, he said.
Investors are required to put down a minimum down payment of 25 percent, which the current marketplace is making worthwhile, Kieffer said.
"The rental income is covering all expenses (of the mortgage, insurance and property taxes) with additional money left over as cash flow," he said.
Cash buyers, on the other hand, are looking to buy properties at a low price, fix them up if necessary, and then eventually sell them at a higher price, he said.
"The cash buyers are mostly buying to flip,' he said. "Cash buyers rarely buy to hold."
Most of the cash-buying activity Kieffer is seeing involves homes priced under $400,000.
Robin Dickson, executive vice president at J. Rockcliff Realtors, an East Bay real estate brokerage, is also seeing a lot of buying activity from investors and cash buyers.
"In the lower end, it's primarily investment buyers looking for distressed properties -- bank-owned (foreclosures) and short sales," Dickson said.
But she is also seeing cash buyers paying $3 million for homes that a few years ago were selling for $6 million.
"There are a lot of cash buyers coming at the ultra high end of the market," she said. "There are recession-proof buyers. These buyers, if they already have money, they still have money."

What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking potassium chloride?
You should not use this medication if you are allergic to it, or if you have certain conditions. Be sure your doctor knows if you have:
- high levels of potassium in your blood (hyperkalemia);
- kidney failure;
- Addison's disease (an adrenal gland disorder);
- a large tissue injury such as a severe burn;
- if you are severely dehydrated; or
- if you are taking a "potassium-sparing" diuretic (water pill) such as amiloride (Midamor, Moduretic), spironolactone (Aldactone, Aldactazide), triamterene (Dyrenium, Dyazide, Maxzide).
To make sure you can safely take potassium chloride, tell your doctor if you have any of these other conditions:
- kidney disease;
- heart disease or high blood pressure;
- a blockage in your stomach or intestines; or
- chronic diarrhea (such as ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease).
FDA pregnancy category C. It is not known whether potassium chloride will harm an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant while using this medication.
It is not known whether potassium chloride passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
How should I take potassium chloride?
Take exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label.
Mix the powder, granule, or liquid form of this medicine with at least 4 ounces (one-half cup) of cold water or fruit juice before taking. Drink the mixture slowly, over 5 to 10 minutes in all. To make sure you get the entire dose, add a little more water to the same glass, swirl gently and drink right away.
Do not crush, chew, break, or suck on an extended-release tablet or capsule. Swallow the pill whole. Breaking or crushing the pill may cause too much of the drug to be released at one time. Sucking on a potassium tablet can irritate your mouth or throat.
Take this medication with food or just after a meal.
Your treatment may include a special diet. It is very important to follow the diet plan created for you by your doctor or nutrition counselor. You should become very familiar with the list of foods you should eat or avoid to help control your condition.
Potassium-rich foods include: squash, baked potatoes (skin on), spinach, lentils, broccoli, brussels sprouts, zucchini, kidney or navy beans, raisins, watermelon, orange juice, bananas, cantaloupe, and low-fat milk or yogurt. Consume only the daily amounts recommended by your doctor or nutrition counselor.
To be sure this medication is helping your condition, your blood may need to be tested often. Your heart rate may also be checked using an electrocardiograph or ECG (sometimes called an EKG) to measure electrical activity of the heart. This test will help your doctor determine how long to treat you with potassium. Do not miss any scheduled appointments.
Do not stop taking this medication without first talking to your doctor. If you stop taking potassium suddenly, your condition may become worse.
Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Keep the medication in a closed container.

We have four kids - Ollie, Hocus, Fisher and Lucy.
Today was a gorgeous sunny day in San Diego so I let the kids out to play. Lucy took a nap...
Ollie hid behind a plant until he figured it was safe...look at how cute he is!
Hocus ran around exploring the back garden. She likes to roam.
And here's Fisher exploring in the sun.
And those are the kids. Well-behaved, don't eat much, pretty low maintenance.
Well, we made it to the final play-offs and then lost to the Kiwis! Shane will never let that one down...also note that Paula was only wearing an All-Blacks jersey because it was warm...
I met up with my cousin and some friends of ours that I have not seen since 1989 - how cool is that? Here we all are, having fun at Petco Park watching rugby. This is Steve, Dean, Grant and Craig. Last time I saw them we were all in South Africa and we were 21 years old!
It was chilly in the morning (for San Diego) but I could tell it was going to be a gorgeous day - perfect for running if it didn't get too hot. Eric and I met up with some friends in the morning and went over the race start. Since this was Eric's first half marathon, he was nervous and excited so we wanted to get there a little early.
The race itself was really pretty through Rancho Santa Fe, over rolling hills that seemed to go uphill both ways. It was a tough run but we managed to persevere. The next day my legs were definitely feeling it. Along the way we met up with a bunch of friends from paddling and the tri club which was really nice. After the race, we saw them all in the beer garden too - sponsored by Stone Brewery, that was not be missed! At the end of the day, I am not sure he's sold on the idea of another half marathon, but we'll see...
Here is Eric with Ollie, our kitty, showing off his race.
Today I was selected as the winner of the Sony Ambassador program for best blog site - wow! If that isn't motivation to keep this going....thanks Sony!! Love your products, love your programs!
This weekend I am running in the San Dieguito Half Marathon with my husband. This is his first half marathon ever. Although I have never done it, I hear it's a tough one - wish us luck!!
I currently write this from the western part of Puerto Rico. When I get back, I have 2 weeks before I leave for Australia - I'll be taking the new Sony GPS unit with me to track where I go and the fun places I'll be hiking and diving. Can't wait!

My spring trip to Qatar was a great experience! It was really neat to experience a whole different culture. This was also my first time to ever leave North America and definitely won't be my last!
Texas A&M University at Qatar only offers four undergraduate degrees in chemical, petroleum, mechanical, and electrical engineering. All students, faculty, and classrooms are in the same building. There are less than 500 students enrolled!
TAMUQThese are all pictures from the Texas A&M campus at Qatar. Their campus is so much nicer than the main campus in College Station! There is beautiful landscaping, fountains, and courtyards everywhere. Also, the entire interior of the building is marble.

Doha is the capital of Qatar. It is where we stayed and pretty much where everything happens. It is currently in a phase of rapid development. Some people compare it to Dubai.

Souq Waqif
A souq is a traditional marketplace. There are many restaurants and shops with a variety of,well, everything!
It looks like a scene from Aladdin.
Jenny and I eating at a Yemen restaurant within the Souq. No shoes, no chairs, no silverware, no problem!
Dune Bashing
Dune-bashing is something the locals do for fun. It is driving over sand dunes at high speeds in off road vehicles. Really fun! This is out in the dessert, about 30 miles from Doha.
Their definition of an "off-road" vehicle is a Lexus SUV!
During our trip out to the dessert, we stopped at a beach and rode camels! So much fun.
Me riding a camel!
Jumping off sand dunes
Just for fun, Jenny and I dressed up in the traditional Qatari women dress. The black robes are called abayas.
Other Fancy Things
So Qatar is one of the richest countries in the world due to their large oil and gas reserves. Therefore, everything is very nice! Here are a few random pictures.
We flew Qatar Airways. This was the dinner we were served in economy class! It's lamb meat balls, vegetables, bread, dessert, and complimentary beverages.

Announcing Fedora 8 Xfce Spin
,----[ Quote ]
| I am pleased to announce the immediate release of a brand new and sparkling,
| Fedora 8 Xfce Spin. Fedora Xfce Spin is a bootable Fedora Live CD image
| available for x86 and x86_64 architecture. It can be optionally installed to
| hard disk or converted into boot USB images and is ideal for Xfce fans and
| for users running Fedora on relatively low resource systems.
Fedora 8.0 review
,----[ Quote ]
| In conclusion, if you are looking for a robust, secure and stable Linux
| distribution which stands out from rest of the brood in providing an
| innovative set of GUI tools for system and network administration but at the
| same time, you are also particular that you would like to use only Free
| software, then you should seriously consider taking Fedora 8 for a spin. You
| will definitely fall in love it. Â* Â*
Fedora/Linux for Noobs
,----[ Quote ]
| The desktop in Fedora 7 (Gnome) is very pleasing to look at. With clean lines
| and soft colors it has a Mac-like appeal with the taskbars of Windows. You
| can easily add items to the taskbars (panels), move them around, make them
| transparent, and even remove them if wanted. Icons are clear and resizable so
| youâre not stuck with dinky XP icons. I have modified my desktop somewhat for
| productivity. One of the beauties of Linux is the degree of customization
| available to make your workspace the way you want it. Â* Â* Â*
Review of Fedora 8 (by Simon G. Hildenbrand)
,----[ Quote ]
| Overall, I truly believe that Fedora 8 is by far the best Fedora release to
| date (and I've tried every one of them). From the look and feel of the
| system, to the out-of-the-box configuration during installation, I couldn't
| be happier with a cutting edge release. Â*
| As I mentioned before, the biggest aspects of a successful distribution for
| me are suspend/hibernate, correct screen resolution and the the ability to
| change the screen resolution in a GUI if it didn't configure it correctly the
| first time, system stability, and overall look and feel of a distribution.
| For me, Fedora 8 has excelled in all categories when I evaluate and review a
| system and I hope that Fedora continues to release versions that are put Â*
| together as good as Fedora 8 has been. Â* Â*
Community Welcomes Fedora 8 With Strong Download Numbers
,----[ Quote ]
| Fedora 8 offers both GNOME and KDE-based Live CDs and a general-purpose
| installable DVD for workstations and servers. It also includes improved Live
| USB support, making it possible to install, boot and run the entire
| distribution off of a USB key without touching the computer's hard disk at
| all. This enhancement makes Fedora attractive to those who wish to experiment
| with Linux without risking their data. Â* Â*
Red Hat's Fedora 8 hope: An all-purpose Linux foundation
,----[ Quote ]
| The ability to "re-spin" Fedora is attracting some interest. Among the
| Fedora-based variations that will be available are one for gaming, one for
| designing microprocessors, and one for programmers. Â*
An old hat with new tricks: Fedora 8 officially released
,----[ Quote ]
| I've been experimenting with Fedora 8 test 3, and I like what I see. This is
| a nice release with a pretty sweet assortment of features that you won't find
| anywhere else. Fedora still manages to differentiate itself and rise above
| many other contenders by delivering early access to new technologies. Â*
A peek at Red Hat's Fedora 8 Linux [Screenshots tour]
,----[ Quote ]
| Red Hat's Fedora 8 version of Linux is set to debut Thursday, the latest
| version of a product line geared for enthusiasts, programmers, and Linux
| users who want to get a taste of what's to come in the supported Red Hat
| Enterprise Linux. Â* Â*
The Review: Werewolf, Fedoraâs Redeemer?
,----[ Quote
| Fedora 8 is a distribution to beat. Its great features and much improved
| stability simply rocks. It may not be a distro that I can say is ideal for
| Linux newbies, but it is almost there. So, to answer the question: Is
| Werewolf Fedoraâs Redeemer? In my own opinion, it is. It somehow revived
| Fedora from its previous blunders. Iâm sure Fedora faithfuls will never be
| tempted to look at Ubuntu again. Can Werewolf help put Fedora back on top? As
| of the moment, Fedora is still ranked #4 in Distrowatch. If Werewolf will
| fail to do so, at least it will serve as a catalyst for future releases to
| take Fedora back to where it truly belongs. I think the only direction Fedora
| is going right now is certainly upward.
Fedora 8: Live CD Reviewed
,----[ Quote ]
| So, is Fedora for you? I like it. Despite me being a Debian user, going with
| RPM-based distro might not be so bad after all. If Fedora could just clean up
| that mess with the file manager, I would see a lot of Ubuntu users jumping
| ship. Â*

NEW YORK: Funds investing in Brazil, Russia, India and China (BRIC) are outperforming emerging markets by combining the world's two most populous nations with two countries feeding their expansion.
``The four countries have high economic growth and there seems to be virtuous cycle between them,'' said Grant Yun Cheng, who co-manages the $491m dit-BRIC Stars fund in Frankfurt. Demand for commodities and building materials in China and India is injecting money into the economies of oil-producing Russia and natural resources-rich Brazil, he said.

The implication is that in a competition between lovers, the one who is far away stands no chance of beating out the one who is close to the beloved. This contradicts the maxim "absence makes the heart grow fonder." In fact, suggests the proverb, the cultivation of love requires proximity.
Quote #5
For though that Absolon be wood or wrooth,
By cause that he fer was from hir sighte,
this nye Nicholas stood in his lighte.
Since Absolon prefers to do his wooing through high-visibility self-exhibition (singing love songs and taking a role in the theater, for example), the figure of Nicholas standing "in his lighte" metaphorically renders his exertions worthless.
Quote #6
This sely Absolon herde every deel,
And on his lippe he gan for anger byte;
And to himself he seyde, 'I shal thee quyte.'
(641- 643)
Absolon's desire to give Alisoun as good (or better) than he has received puts him in competition with her. This new positioning of Absolon to Alisoun upsets the logic of the love triangle in which Alisoun was the prize. Perhaps this is why Absolon falls quickly out of love with Alisoun; as fellow competitor, she can no longer be the "prize."

Skip to comments.Looking for a small, reliable pistol/sidearm for a lady
Posted on 12/07/2008 6:54:45 PM PST by Mamzelle
Have small, weak hands and I play an instrument and am an artist and don't want to hurt my hands. Menfolk seem to want to encourage me to pistols too large, heavy and complicated. Seems to me if I cannot handle a weapon properly, it won't matter how big the bullets are that it can shoot because I won't manage to shoot at all. I want something small even if the bullets are small, too, because I'll have more confidence in shooting it.
Gun enthusiasts encouraged to ping.
Beretta Tomcat, hands down. You don't even have to operate the slide with that one; .32 caliber. It was made with women like yourself in mind.
You might look at North American Arms.
Walthers P5 compact.
Still might be too large for you. Nice gun.
Go to your local dealer/gunsmith. If you have no experience at all, I recommend a revolver. They're easy to maintain.
a small .22 auto...small, light, easy to use..and deadly
Bookmark. I have the same question. My girly hands aren't tiny but a broken wrist a two years ago has left my right hand a little weak.
Ditto on the tomcat and .32 acp.
I suggest a quality .22 revolver. A hit with a .22 is better, it has been said, tham a loud miss with a .45
I'd suggest the semi-auto Berreta Tomcat also. You might also want to consider one of the Smith & Wesson Ladysmiths in .38 special.
Ruger Bearcat (.22LR) hands down. Compact, light, simple, shoots where you point it.
Consider the 357. It can fire both 357 and 38 rounds.
And, of course, should be able to stop an intruder dead in his tracks. :(
38 Caliber, five shot revolver.
You can get you confidence up practicing with light loads. Get trained by a qualified instructor or friend.
Best of luck. Stay safe.
A Baretta. Q said so.
.25 auto
Nothing more than a cap gun!
Thanks for posting the question. I have that problem too. I have never been able to pull the slide on a gun. I tried a revolver and I could actually shoot it and I liked it, but somebody talked me out of it. I would also like to hear input from other folks here.
I have a standard service revolver, I just don't like it. Bulky and I think I shoot better than it lets me. But I intend to get some education shortly.
The thing to remember is the smaller the grip, the more the recoil. Make sure that the grip is not shorter than your hand when holding the pistol. My brother has been educating me on the finer aspects of handguns recently; he's a cop. You can guess the conversation over Thanksgiving dinner, LOL.
Beretta 32. Tip up barrel. One sits at my night stand. I have others to chose from, but the tomcat should be your choice. Simple. Accurate enough to use across the room. And easy to become confident in its use. Nothing else compares.
You might look at a Kahr K9 or CW9 9mm semiautomatic. They are small (too small for my large hands anyway) and yet can handle 9mm Luger ammunition.
Concerning not wanting to hurt your hands, a too-light gun will increase the felt recoil from a given type of ammunition. My wife has rather severe arthritis in both hands, and as a result has to shoot a revolver heavy enough to dampen out the recoil to a manageable level.
I think that might be it. Fellas always try to talk me out of a 22 whenever I look at one. What good are bigger bullets when I can't manage the heavier gun well enough to aim? I could just work on getting more shots off with a lighter gun.
Smith and wesson 32H&R caliber revolver.
Well. Complications. So light weight makes for more recoil...? What does your wife like?
If you don't like it, see what a dealer will offer in trade. Newer ladies revolvers are less bulky and easier to handle.
Now this is just my own personal, correct opinion, but I say the S&W Titanium .38...............
Best of all, it's TINY. VERY light weight (less than 10 ounces, loaded), very thin, and easy to carry in a purse or pocket. And very affordable, too... Go to the Kel Tec Owner's Group for some good posts and honest feedback about the firearm, its ability, and its reliability.
A small gun carried is infinitely better than a big gun left at home...
Allow me to rain on your parade.
The best way to find out which gun is YOUR gun is to shoot a lot of different guns.
To some extent you get what you pay for. A good reliable pistol is going to cost you.
If it was up to me, everyone would get a Sig p239, and those who want a small gun would get one in 9mm. I love shooting 9 mm out of Sigs.
But a .22 can be deadly. It's maybe not so often FAST deadly. But a nice .22 revolver is really fun to shoot and cheap too. a .22 sic gun emptied into a bad guy should give him something to think about while you take cover, haul out your speed loader, and reload.
I would imagine a little Glock in 9 mm, maybe with a race frame, would be light and easy shooting, but I have an irrational aversion to Glocks, probably because it freaks me out to have to pull the trigger to disassemble them.
This is not a light choice. Go to the range. make friends, borrow guns. Then decide. Or just buy a Sig p239 in 9mm, a good holster a couple of extra magazines and repeat to yourself,"Two in the chest and one in the head // oughtta leave the bad guy dead." (or words to that effect)
Interesting, thank you. I have a small hand, so it probably wouldn't be a problem, but it's good to have some guidelines.
You have two design choices. Revolvers also known as wheel guns or a semi-automatic pistol. Revolvers are very foolproof especially for the new gun owner. They have a double action trigger which is a little slower but can be safer in less experienced hands.
A semi-auto means you have to rack the slide with your other hand to put the first bullet in the chamber. The alternative is having a bullet in the chamber and the safety on. Any defensive encounter will be very high stress and racking the slide is one extra step when seconds count.
In a revolver you could go with something smaller like a .32 or .38 caliber. Something like a Ruger SP101 .38 is a reliable and not expensive. Ruger has one in .32 which is less powerful but easier to handle. Even a smaller .22 pointed at a vital spot is deadly.
What you should do is find a reputable gun store and see if they have a CCW class. CCW is concelaed carry which means you could get a license to carry a gun, depending on your state. At least 32 states allow it. A CCW class costs about $50 but you learn all about gun safety and how to use a gun plus the laws on what you can do to defend yourself.
Consider joining the NRA or go to their web site and see what local resoruces they have near your home. The NRA people are awesome. There may be a NRA club for females locally or you may be able to find a woman in your area who can help you. I think a woman gun owner and even instructor can give you her experience better than a man If you can find a range with a gun store they can usually let you try out demo models.
I first learned about Sarah Palin in the NRA magazine about women gun owners during the Clinton admin. I think I remarked - wow she is pretty.
An attorney in my office building was a former prosecutor, gun owner and conservative. I think he carries but he said in most cases he would use Bear Spray.
It supposedly has 18% of something - pepper spray or something. He keeps a can in his truck between the size of a hairspray can and a small fire extingquisher. You can get a smaller purse size. I think the ones with more a pistol grip sprayer are better.
Maybe other folks here have better suggestions.
Find a local indoor shooting range, if not find a female security guard or LEO and ask them.
Reason to go to a shooting range is so you can rent a pistol and see if you are comfortable with it, after that it becomes part of you, legal concealed carry is also required unless you feel you need to skirt that issue.
Foremost is to have something you can handle...REAL FAST
How quick can you draw, aim and shoot? would it be in a purse, on person? simple is always better but better is bigger, you must decide on that because if you draw it you must be prepared to use it and in that respect don't buy anything if it doesn't have a 4 starting the caliber.
My suggestion?
Glock 23 in 40S&W
Put me down for suggesting you look at a .32 revolver. If you want concealed carry, you might want to look at hammerless revolvers.
Note, at least in Texas, you have to take your CC test with an auto if you want to carry one. (You can carry a revolver after testing with either kind.)
For a beginner, I strongly recommend that you lean toward a revolver. You pull the trigger - it goes boom... No slides to deal with - no barrels to 'tip up'..
As a sample, Ruger SP101 models have small grips. They come chambered for .357 (shoot .38's for lower recoil) and come in an assortment of barrel lengths. They have a new chambering for a .327 round.
Are you going to carry? Y/N
How are you going to carry? purse/pocket/belt
Home defense?
Children in home?
A lot of things to consider.......
Hey, I've been checking out the youtubes that these helpful folks provide...and then surfing the options that youtube gives you for other videos. LOL. Lots of guys like to make movies of their guns! Recommended.
Yes, very good! Thank you for starting this thread. I'm reading every post!
Revolvers are not sexy and they are for close in shooting. they have short barrels so they are not target shooting pistols. Really for shooting within 20 feet or less.
They are reliable and mistake proof in a defensive situation when people are very stressed. Someone said a Beratta Tomcat semi-auto does not have to have the slide racked. If true check that out.
Find a lady instructor or sales person at you local gun store or the NRA web site.
A boyfriend with a Colt 1911 should do the trick.
Yes, I plan to take a class and get a CCwp, though I don't know if I'll actually carry. I guess I'm interested for the same reason that so many people are now purchasing firearms. I never took much interest in it, before. Lately I've been taking more.
Kel-Tec is a good suggestion for small and light.
Try a Smith & Wesson with a shielded hammer. I think it is a model 36 and uses a 38 bullet. It can be kept handy in a purse without the fear of accidentally cocking the hammer if you have a concealed carry permit. It is a great first weapon for a woman. Keep in mind, however, to keep it safely away from any children, as it does not take a lot of strength to shoot this weapon.
Also classes are available many places to give people firearms training. It is a good idea to familiarize yourself with the use of various weapons, so you can make a choice that is best for you. Check with the closest chapter of the NRA and they should be able to direct you to a place where you could practice with several types and then make a choice for what works best for you.
I have small hands and after input from other Freepers, I purchased a S&W .38 Airweight and I love it. :)
Here's a 25 page thread going talking about the Smith and Wesson internal lock freezing up the gun during firing.
I've owned the Ruger SP101. The grip is tiny, yet the gun has sufficient mass to absorb recoil. Buy one in 357 magnum, but load it with 38 specials for practice. They're cheap and recoil is mild. Then you can load it with 357 for self defense.
A revolver is truly the best for someone who doesn't spend a whole lot of time with guns.

Parts of Anne Frank's diary are written in ball point pen
Holocaust Deniers Say:
Parts of Anne Frank's diary are written in ball point pen which wasn't available until after the war.
Holocaust deniers argue:
David Irving, whom the High Court in London declared to be a Holocaust denier, racist and antisemite, has stated that parts of Anne's diary had been written in "ball-point ink" which did not become generally available until the early 1950s.1
The truth about whether some parts of the diary are written ball-point pen.
Anne wrote the body of her diary with a fountain pen - that is a pen that uses wet ink. The only significant traces of ball-point pen ink are confined to two loose scraps of paper put with the diary materials later (probably by Otto Frank). They are in a distinctly different hand from Anne's. When Otto Frank organized the books and papers after the war he numbered the pages partly in ball-point pen and partly in colored pencil.2
Anne wrote the body of her diary with a fountain pen. The only ball point pen ink traces are two loose notes written by someone else and put with the papers later and some page numbers written on the sheets during the compilation process.

Noise from electronic circuitry causes design headaches
Design teams are trying to find ways to overcome the apparently random nature of electronic interference.
At the end of October last year, the US Federal Aviation Authority decided to relent on its ban on electronic devices in the passenger cabins of commercial airliners. Although mobile phones will not be allowed to place or take calls, passengers will be allowed – if operators agree – to read e-books, play games and even surf the Internet if the aircraft has a Wi-Fi service during takeoff and landing as well as at cruising altitude.
Air regulators and industry players have taken a cautious approach to dealing with electronic devices. Testing has revealed how outwardly benign equipment can cause problems for other electronic systems.
In the mid-1990s, Boeing encountered several occasions when an onboard electronic device caused problems. In 1995, the company bought a laptop computer from a passenger on a 737 flight after the crew suspected it of causing the autopilot to disconnect while cruising. Although the machine emitted interference above the limits for aircraft at the time, subsequent tests could not reproduce the problem. Experiments after similar incidents proved inconclusive although tests have revealed potential problems when devices are designed to generate radio signals.
For example, a type of cockpit display made by Honeywell could go blank for several minutes when subjected to interference from Wi-Fi signals, albeit at higher levels than those supported by many consumer devices. That led to a ban on the use of Wi-Fi devices by pilots – who would otherwise have used tablets and similar devices to get real-time weather updates – as well as passengers. Before the aircraft that use the display can carry Wi-Fi services, the displays will be upgraded.
The ongoing uncertainty around using electronic devices in-flight reflects the problem of determining electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) – whether a device will affect other systems adversely or will itself generate errors because of a strong source of interference nearby.
The EMC Directive
The European Union's EMC Directive will have been in force for 20 years by the end of this year. Although the original EMC Directive dates back to 1989, it did not come into force until January 1992 and even then EU member states used transitional rules for close to four years. Since then, the generic directive has been through one major update, which has tied up some of the loose ends of the original as well as easing the job of declaring compliance for smaller manufacturers – largely by taking away the requirement for third-party EMC testing.
The legislation concentrates on the interference between systems – to ensure that complete products from different manufacturers do not interfere with each other when placed close by. But the increasing amount of electronics content in motor vehicles and the energy-supply grid is forcing manufacturers to go beyond what the legislation currently tells them to do.
The problem for any electrical or electronic system is that it simply cannot help but generate interference – the only question is one of degree. Modern electronics, particularly when it comes to digital design, treats circuits as discrete entities. But the motion of electrons through the circuits creates fields – described elegantly by James Clerk Maxwell in the 19th Century by his famous set of equations – that will interact at some level with neighbouring elements.
The effect of accidental antennas
Keith Armstrong, founder of Cherry Clough Consultants, describes electrical conductors as "accidental antennas" – delivering electromagnetic energy through fields that couple with other accidental antennas, creating stray currents and voltages. If strong enough, these voltages and currents can flip over logic bits on a bus or cause significant measurement errors in an analogue circuit.
Potentially, the fields can have a wide-ranging effect, particularly when dealing with the magnetic fields created by large current flows – the conditions found in power systems that go into vehicles and the smart grid.
"We definitely see growth in automotive," says Chris Aden, product marketing manager for the Saber system-level simulation tools at Synopsys. "We are seeing the increased content of power systems and switching power systems driving customers. Switching power is the main issue. With those, the signals are a lot louder."
While the EMC aggressors are becoming more strident, other parts of the vehicle are becoming more sensitive to noise. "There is more electrical content in cars overall now. You have low-power networks that are close enough to the power buses being used for high-power switching."
Electronic assistance
Andreas Barchanski, senior applications engineer and EMC market development manager for EMC simulation specialist CST, says: "Automotive systems designers are fighting with increased issues in EMC. There are much higher amounts of electronics packed inside their cars compared to 20 years ago.
"You now have a lot of steering assistance and other systems operating in a closed space, which result in more and more EMC issues. It's why the automotive OEMs are putting in rules for EMC that are more strict than the legal requirements. On the other side, the increasing electrification of vehicles through hybrids and electric traction also poses more EMC problems because you have much higher currents to deal with inside the car."
A further issue, which is also likely to affect smart-grid systems, is the way in which different subsystems interact. Barchanski says: "If you consider a car being a system, it might happen that different parts are delivered by different suppliers. You do not have the ability to design the complete system yourself. So you have to rely that the other components of the car are holding to these EMC standards. This is why companies are working to standards that are much tougher than the legacy standards: to make sure that everything when assembled will still work."
Brad Brim, senior staff product engineer at Cadence Design Systems, says another sector focusing on EMC issues is medical, an area where several electrical safety standards have been upgraded recently. "Customers here have approached us with more emphasis on EMC compliance. In medical, you can say someone's life is at stake. They are being driven by the compliance to do better.
Brim adds: "There is also the concern that new compliance standards are on the horizon and not just that but, as compliance enforcement hasn't been that strict in the past, that the rules will be enforced more rigidly."
Shielding the interference
Testing remains the key way in which electronics design teams discover how well their equipment will conform to standards, although it may not uncover potential issues when it comes to immunity from interference. And it is a procedure that comes late in the project, beyond the point at which it is cost-effective to make changes. A further issue that for lightweight, space-constrained systems such as those used in aerospace and automotive designs may not be able to add the shielding that could be used elsewhere.
Barchanski says: "It's not just about passing or failing the test but how can you pass the test with the lowest effort possible? Say you have an input filter that allows you to pass the test. A revised design with fewer components will save you more money. For mobile phones, consumer products and cars, just saving one or two capacitors on a board is a huge saving in the end because of the volume of production."
Waiting until the testing stage can be risky, because of the added complexity of dealing with an entire system, especially one that involves internal or external cabling. Movement of the cables can lead to changes in EMC performance.
"Often you face a problem where the standalone components work well but once the system is assembled an EMC problem arises. When you plug a cable in, the system starts emitting more than expected. You may have something geometrically complex to deal with and something quite electrically complex. The combination of these parameters – physical geometry, electrical drivers and terminations – makes up the EMC performance. That's what makes EMC difficult to analyse," Barchanski says.
The overall complexity of the system makes it difficult to take a PCB design and feed that to a tool that will tell the engineering team whether or not they have a problem before the prototype is built, although the fundamentals of EMI are well understood.
"The simulation techniques are well known and established: 3D Maxwell equations have been in use for more than 20 years," says Barchanski.
Brim claims Bell Northern Research developed a simulator that resembled the Spice engine used widely for analogue circuit simulation, but for EMC calculations. "It worked out the voltages and currents that a circuit would see so that they could be back annotated into a simulation of their design. Engineers could ask: 'If I have all these trace currents going around, what will the average look like and what will be the emissions from that?'
"They found at the time they got a pretty good representation," says Brim, but the technique was not widely adopted.
The problem is a combination of getting good data into the tool in the first place, finding the compute power to execute accurate, system-level simulations and then making sense of the data they produce. Barchanski says the models quickly become large and unwieldy but: "There are ways to tackle this complexity, such as segmentation. I can divide my systems into subparts and simulate them as standalone entities, then bring them together to simulate the whole system. But you need to know where to divide it.
"The other approach is to use brute-force computation and adding more processing hardware," Barchanski says, noting that engineers in Asia tend to favour the hardware-centric approach whereas those in Europe are more likely to try segmenting the design.
"They are both valid approaches but if you segment you need to put in some knowledge beforehand. With brute-force approaches, you get a complete picture in one step but it takes longer to simulate or needs more hardware."
A recent development in computing to use graphics processors (GPUs) as computation engines has made the brute-force approach more appealing. "GPU computing provided a step change in the computing power you can get."
Perfecting the design
There is a limit to how accurately simulation can represent actual system behaviour, Brim says. "It's probably not going to be feasible for the whole system where the system includes cables and enclosures. Subtle changes to the design can lead to big differences in performance. For example, how does cable get soldered to the board. How is it mounted? Connectors have huge geometric complexity. Do you approximate that to make the simulation simpler? You need so much detail for success that I don't think it will happen.
"Although some say 'look at how computer resources have proliferated' and they can compute huge things real fast. But there is so much you have to specify," Brim adds, noting that EMI shielding itself adds additional complexity because of the 3D shapes that are involved.
Brim says one approach is to take account of those differences in small tests. He cites one example of an engineer working on consumer electronics designs who has been testing eight different cable types under various circumstances, such as if they touch the board or not, to see how those changes affect performance. "The cables don't look very different but you can get compliance on four and failures on the other four."
Although simulation is becoming more common, design-rule checking (DRC) can play a big role in reducing the risk of a design flaw being exposed during testing.
Brim says: "We call it physical DRC to find potentially bad things. The rules say don't route across something that's devoid of return paths. You combine that with subsequent simulation but using rules you have a powerful way of determining that your boards are quiet, although it might not help with cables.
"Even the rules checks are not performed by an EDA tool, it's being done by a simple script or just by an EMC engineer looking over the shoulder of the design engineer, saying 'don't do that'. However, I think that will change in the direction of greater automation if the rules get more strict and people are not able to meet compliance."
For the time being, EMC analysis is likely to remain a mixture of rules, testing and increasing amounts of simulation.
Safety firsts for EMC
In fields such as automotive and power, EMC and functional safety are closely aligned. The IET has, for example, produced guidelines to help engineers develop a methodology for incorporating EMC analysis into functional safety analyses [http://bit.ly/eandt-factfiles]. At the same time, system simulation tools are being brought into the design flow to perform to create what-if scenarios that can go way beyond conventional testing.
Andreas Barchanski, from EMC simulation specialist CST, says simulation can be a valuable tool for seeing how emissions at different frequencies could affect other parts of the system. "I see often, and it's a bit of a pity, that when people run EMC simulations, they say right away, 'can I compare this to my measurements?', as they trust the measurements. But they forget that they can get quite meaningful results without comparing to measurement.
"With simulation they can compare behaviour under different scenarios: if I change something in my structure how does the radiation change? What happens if I move this trace to another position on the board?"
Barchanski says this extends neatly into the analysis of susceptibility and its knock-on effects on functional safety by teasing out potential problem frequencies. "You can execute your model in a broadband fashion, using a plane wave of 1V at all frequencies. That is something you are not able to do in a measurement chamber. But, in a simulation you can define it and get a broad picture for analysis."
Armed with that data, it is possible to feed the stray voltages and currents into circuit or system simulations to see how they might affect vulnerable circuits.
Chris Aden, product marketing manager for the Saber system-level simulation tools at Synopsys says engineering teams are now beginning to use system simulations to explore what could happen if stray fields couple badly into circuitry. "A big new application for EMC simulation is functional safety. What we've seen with customers doing EMC is that they have targeted applications where they want to troubleshoot something. They might have a critical path they need to analyse. They use field solvers to extract the model and drop that in the schematic or system-level diagram.
"If you have your control system in the model you could also validate your software. The system might have a safety algorithm that they use to help with diagnostics. For example, an EMC artefact might cause the system to engage and they will be looking at that. I see that as being one of the applications that will drive EMC analysis and how it plays into functional safety."
The changing face of legislation
Ahead of the implementation of the EMC Directive in the early 1990s, manufacturers worried that prosecutions for excessive interference would swiftly follow. The legislation made EMC enforcement a process driven by complaints – which were most likely going to come from competitors. In the event, prosecutions for EMC problems have been pretty rare with few manufacturers willing to point the finger at each other. And customers were no more willing to make complaints.
As a result, problems in the original legislation did not show up for years. It took an enforcement project driven by the UK government itself, through the then Department of Trade & Industry, in the early 2000s to highlight one of the flaws in the legislation.
Domestic appliances, such as hairdryers, seemed to fall through a loophole. Although they contained small, electrically noisy motors, these products could be tested to an older, less stringent standard: EN55014. This became apparent in the UK when hairdryer maker Helen of Troy UK (HoT) was taken to court because one of its appliances interfered with TV signals in the home.
Article 4 of the original EMC Directive specified that equipment needing certification should be built so that "the electromagnetic disturbance that it generates does not exceed a level allowing radio and telecommunications and other apparatus to operate as intended".
Had this gone to court it might have shown that the use of EN55014 was not in the spirit of the EMC Directive. But HoT pleaded guilty and the issues around the case were never tested in court.
The main problem was that the version of EN55014 in force at the time assumed that the maximum frequency of intense emissions from domestic appliances would fall below 300MHz. The hairdryer motors were producing interference somewhat higher in frequency. The latest version of the standard, which came into force a couple of years ago, extended this to 1GHz.

Alabama authorities are using CSI type technology to track down a serial arsonist who may be responsible for up to nine church fires.
With more than two hundred law enforcement officers working the case, and 100 ATF authorities on the ground, community leaders have reason to be optimistic that the church burnings may have come to an end.
Yesterday, the investigation shifted from the crime scene, to following up on more than 250-tips that have been called into authorities.
Birmingham-based International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers is yet another organization that's offering a reward for information leading to the arrests of those responsible for the fires.
They are putting up $10,000 in hopes the money will result in a break in the case.

AraabMuzik Discusses Performing Live2 Comments
This video has changed my view of AraabMuzik. I know he gets hated on a lot because some of the videos he has put out sound similar. But you have to give him credit, he has been in a number of commercials, he has produced for tons of artist, and he gets paid to perform at events like a DJ or musical artist would. AraabMuzik has not only branded his self as a music producer, but a performer which many music producers can't say. I think there is something to learn from him.

Born to Rose and Joseph Kennedy in 1925, Robert F. Kennedy attended Harvard University to study government and politics. He left before graduating to serve in the Navy during World War II and became a lieutenant. After the war, he returned to get his B.A. and later earned a law degree from the University of Virginia.
He joined the U.S. Department of Justice in 1951, but resigned a year later to run the successful Senate campaign for his brother, John. Later, he managed his brother's successful Presidential campaign and was named U.S. Attorney General. From 1960 to 1964, Robert F. Kennedy served as Attorney General, attempting to ensure that black Americans had the right to vote, to attend school, and to use public accommodations.
Soon after his brother was assassinated in 1963, Kennedy resigned from President Lyndon Johnson's cabinet and ran successfully for the U.S. Senate. In 1968, he was running for President and had just won the California primary when he was killed at the age of 42 on June 4, 1968.
The obverse of the 1998 Robert F. Kennedy Commemorative Silver Dollar bears an especially realistic engraving of Robert F. Kennedy. The sculptor/engraver worked with Kennedy's widow, Ethel, to perfect the depiction of her late husband. The reverse shows the Seal of the Department of Justice, where Kennedy worked as Attorney General to advance civil rights for all Americans, and the Seal of the United States Senate, where he was serving when he was assassinated.

STRATHAM — Firefighters rushed a 50-year-old man from Stratham Hill Park to Portsmouth Regional Hospital on Sunday morning after he crashed his mountain bike while riding in the Gordon Barker "No Brakes" Bike Race, according to Stratham Assistant Fire Chief Matt Larrabee.
Larrabee said it's unclear how seriously the man was injured.
"He sustained injuries from an accident and was transported to Portsmouth Hospital," Larrabee said Sunday. "I don't know the full extent of the injuries but we're waiting to hear back from the hospital."
He said it appears the rider, whom he did not identify, suffered an "accident on the trail," but did not crash into anything.
Park Ranger Kim Woods said there are about 9 miles of trails at Stratham Hill Park.
Eight firefighters and emergency medical technicians from the Stratham Volunteer Fire Department either responded to the scene or were already at the park in case there were any injuries during the races, Larrabee said Sunday.
"They carried him out on backboards," he said about the man who was hurt in the one of the races.
Having an ambulance and crew already stationed at the park helped firefighters respond quickly, Larrabee said.
"It was very helpful in that it allowed for us to make a quick response," he said.
Race officials notified firefighters on the scene after the crash occurred, Larrabee said.
The races this year — along with the Fire Tower 5K — were combined with the Harvest Festival for the first time and included a benefit bike race for Newfields resident Steve Shope, who was paralyzed after crashing his mountain bike earlier this year in the Exeter woods.
When reached on Monday, Larrabee and Stratham Parks and Recreation Director Seth Hickey said they had no additional information to provide.

I am not sure on what to pack for my trip to Europe in January. For a 15 day trip I will have to use two check in bags and a carryon. I always tend to travel light, but I don't think I can do that this time. The suitcases I have are not particularly big and they happen to weigh a ton. Here are some of the items I plan on jamming into my suitcases:
- 5 jackets
- 3 suits
- 2 coats
- 4 pants
- 1 down blazer
- 1 parka
- 7 pairs of shoes
- 10 shirts
- 4 belts
- 3 hats
- 3 pairs of gloves
- 3 scarves
- 5 pairs of socks
- 10 pairs of underwear (yes, I will re-wear my undiez)
How am I going to do this…

As much as we tout healthy eating, many women still flock to the latest fad diet. But according to a new study, the best diet is neither low-fat nor low-carb...
The study from Boston Children's Hospital, published today in the Journal of the American Medical Association, compared a low-fat diet, a very low-carb diet and a low-glycemic index diet (a diet that emphasizes complex carbs that are digested slowly), and found that a low-glycemic index diet may be your best bet.
First, participants were fed a standard diet so they'd lose 10-15 percent of their initial body weight. Then, they were fed the three different diets in random order for four weeks each in order to measure how different diets affect metabolism following substantial weight loss.
"Both the low-glycemic index diet and the very low carbohydrate diet were designed to prevent surges in blood glucose after a meal," Cara Ebbeling, Ph.D., associate director of the New Balance Foundation Obesity Prevention Center at Boston Children's Hospital and one of the co-authors of the study, tells HealthySELF. "For the low-glycemic diet, this was accomplished by focusing on sources of complex carbohydrates that are digested slowly, like non-starchy veggies, fruits, beans and minimally processed grain products. The low-carb diet accomplished this by restricting carbohydrates."
After each four-week period of each diet, Ebbeling and her colleagues measured the participants' energy expenditure — i.e., how many calories they burned both at rest and over the course of the day.
According to Ebbeling, the rate at which your body burns calories decreases with weight loss, which is one reason why keeping weight off can be such a challenge. This study found that the decrease in calorie expenditure was greatest with the low-fat diet, meaning you burn the fewest calories on a low-fat plan.
And, while you burn the most calories on a low-carb diet, Ebbeling says a low-carb diet also puts your body under stress, raising markers that indicate an increased risk for cardiovascular disease.
"The low-glycemic diet may be the happy medium," says Ebbeling, because it helps you burn more calories than a low-fat diet (though not as many as a very low-carb diet), and doesn't cause any of the health risks of an extremely low-carb diet. What it ultimately comes down to, she says, is focusing on quality, not quantity of food.
"There has been a lot of focus on restricting a single nutrient, whether all fat or all carbohydrates," says Ebbeling, "but it's best to take a moderate approach."
Angela Ginn, registered dietitian and spokeswoman for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, agrees. "All calories are not created equal," she says. According to Ginn, many studies have shown that low-carb diets may help you lose weight faster, but they may not help you maintain that weight loss over time. She says, "This study shows that the quality of your calories really matters."
According to both Ginn and Ebbeling, a fiber-rich, low-glycemic diet encourages healthy food choices such as minimally processed and whole grains, fruits, non-starchy vegetables, milk and healthy fats like avocados and olive oil.
Ebbeling also notes it's important to moderate your sugary treats, and to have them only after a balanced meal. In sum, says Ginn, "A low-glycemic index diet can be more satisfying and a permanent lifestyle change."
