Need some recommendations: compact, concealed carry weapon for a petite woman.
Extremely short version here: A friend of mine is looking to acquire a concealed carry weapon for protection against the suddenly psychotic soon-to-be-ex-husband who recently tried to murder her. She's asked my recommendation on something small, suitable for her purse or a pocket. Cost is also an issue, as she's got a lot of expenses on her plate right now.
After a swift look around, my preliminary thought is to suggest a Ruger LCP in .380. It's compact, light, an adequate caliber, and can be had for $300. I'd looked at the Kel Tec PF9, but I was put off by some of the reviews suggesting that it needed a lot of breaking in and preliminary maintenance. My friend isn't in the position to do regular range runs, and the thing HAS to work, because if she needs it it's probably because her ex is trying again to kill her. I'm also reluctant to suggest anything more powerful than a 380. She's not entirely inexperienced with guns, but she's not a very large woman.
Any thoughts?

19. That's my carry gun and I feel it is a good choice for me but ...
it might not be the best weapon for a beginner with little experience at shooting.
This snubbie has a fairly sharp recoil which may make practice difficult. It is also double action only with a fairly stiff trigger pull.
Often when I was at the range another shooter would ask if he could try my S&W 642. None ever said that they were so impressed that they wanted to buy one and when I would offer my shooting friends a second chance to fire this weapon they usually declined. It is not a fun gun to practice with.
I also have a S&W Model 60 which is basically a heavier model of the sized weapon with both a single and double action trigger pull and can also handle both .38 and .357 magnum ammunition. My model has a 3" barrel and excellent sights. The shooters at the range had a far different view of this firearm when they tried it and a couple said that they were considering buying one.
But I carry the Model 642 far more than I do the heavier Model 60. I just grab it and its pocket holster and slide both into my pants pocket on the way out the door. If I decide to carry the Model 60 I have to put a holster on my belt and conceal the weapon with a long shirt or jacket. Its not a big deal but I like the smaller and lighter weapon for carry and the heavier and far more powerful firearm for target practice at the range. If I had any real reason to expect serious trouble, I would carry one of my .45 auto pistols and the Model 642 as a backup.
Out of curiosity does your wife practice often with her Model 642 and does she have a background in shooting?

28. I had to teach her how to shoot a pistol when she got her CHL five years ago.
The insturctor of the CHL class was extremely confident that she could pass the live-fire part of the test, even though she had never fired a handgun. She was loaned a GLOCK 9mm. The very first shot the hot brass went down her blouse and into her cleavage. She developed a horrible fear of shooting and the worst case of flinch I have ever seen. It took a couple of months of work to get over it. First I started her dry-firing (Used snap caps) with the laser on the wall. Keep doing it until the dot didn't jerk when she pulled the trigger. Then aim at a spot on the wall using sights, pull trigger until the dot didn't jerk. Then range work (We had a friend with open land.) with a Walther P22 (22LR) until she was comfortable (About 800 rounds), then a few boxes of .380 by a Bersa Thunderer. Then qualification test again using the .380. (In Texas if you test with a revolver you can only carry a revolver, but a semi-auto test allows you to carry either.) She passed. Then range work with the .38 at short range, 21 feet or less.
Her two incidents happened a few weeks after that. We had gotten her ready just in time.
While the 642 is accurate at ranges beyond 21ft, the sight radius is too short. I have tried to train her to point-shoot using an air-soft pistol. About 25 years ago I was plinking and accidently discovered a method of point-aiming that is surprisingly accurate. My own practice is mostly point-aim. The gun is equipped with a laser as an aid.
There is a range that we go to occasionally. Not as often as I would like to go, but just barely enough to keep up basic proficiency for her.

30. Sounds like you did an excellent job of training her. ...
I have had two females that I took shooting experience pain from hot brass landing inside a loosely fitting blouse. Now I instruct everybody that I introduce to shooting to wear tighter fitting upper body clothing.
I sometimes practice with a Beeman P1 air pistol at home. It's only a single shot but using it for practice does improve my shooting when I go to the range. I don't go shooting as often as I wish as since I moved from the Tampa Bay area and now live within the city limits, I have to journey a considerable distance to find a range or get someone's permission to shoot on their property.
I hope to sell my current home when the market improves and buy a piece of more rural property large enough to set up my own range.

5. Tarus pt 22
is all she needs. $249 at most. Cheap to shoot, loud for a 22 and not the recoil of a 380. The idea is to get off a couple of shots and get away. I carry that or a Seecamp 32. A little more expensive but very small and easy to conceal.
Get a PPO, stay alert and keep as far away as possible.

6. Since she isn't going to be able to go to the range a lot
then the S&W 642 or perhaps the Ruger LCR in 38 Special is probably the best choice. My personal choice between those two would probably be the Ruger and unless she lives in NJ or some other area that specifically prohibits hollow points, I'd suggest that CCI 135gr +P Gold Dots would be a good choice.
A double action revolver is very simple to use. While I personally prefer a semi-auto in 9mm or bigger, I also get to the range a lot. Most .380's tend to have a snappy recoil and a stiff recoil spring making it difficult to chamber the first round for some people.
Also remind her that while she may have a lot on her plate, picking a gun in these circumstances is NOT the time to go cheap.

it is a great website for any carrier but is particularly addressed to women.
Given the criteria you posted I would recommend a .38. Easy to carry, proven over many years, point and shoot. IMO .357 is no better than .38+P in a small revolver.
For ammo (as important or more so than the gun)-
Standard Pressure Short Barrel Low Flash Heavy .38 Special Pistol and Handgun Ammo
Or the .38 Special +P 135Grain Speer Gold Dot?
Personally I would give the nod to the Gold Dot

13. Any 5 shot S&W J frame revolver that takes 38 Spcl +P
Last edited Thu Jul 19, 2012, 01:12 PM - Edit history (1)
The youngest stepdaughter is about 5'2" and weighs maybe 103# with two rolls of quarters in her pocket to hold her down in a high wind.
If budget is an issue, a Taurus 605 in .357 also handles .38 Spcl and +P. I bought a used Taurus 605s with Crimson Trace grips and a few scratches for $250 for the daughter mentioned above. She only shoots .38s from it, but it's easy to handle, clean and she practices with it more than she thought she would.
A .380 semi auto is always an option, but might take more training and practice than she might be willing to commit to. The new Colt Mustang Pocketlite in .380, is probably near the top of the heap for a lot of the .380 options, if you can find one.
Sorry to hear about your friend.

14. If you criteria includes virtually 100% reliability as well as small, in a caliber that she can
probably handle with sufficient stopping power, and relatively inexpensive, the recommendation made by GreenStormCloud in #3 is a good one.
With the Smith & Wesson 642, she should be able to carry .38 special hollowpoints which will have sufficient stopping power for most people.
In contrast to revolvers like the S&W 642, automatics can jam when fired by inexperienced shooters who do not have and who do not intend to gain sufficient experience to avoid shooting with a "limp wrist." See Wikipedia for an explanation regarding limp wristing.
Automatics can also jam, even without limp wristing, when a shooter loads hollowpoints instead of ball rounds. The length of the two different types of ammo can be different with the hollowpoint being slightly shorter. (Google, for example, jam hollow points automatics)
The S&W 642 is hammerless so that no hammer will drag or catch on anything inside of a purse or a pocket.
Since you mentioned that money is an issue, she might consider buying a used gun like a S&W 642 off gunbroker dot com. If she wants to buy a new one off a local gun dealer (preferably one with a range), she might mention to the gun dealer that she is thinking about buying one off gunbroker, ask if the gun dealer could handle the transfer if she decided upon a used one, and ask the gun dealer what his best price would be for a new one. She can also mention that she is thinking about buying other items such as ammo before asking about his best price for a S&W 642.
Regardless of what she decides on, new or used, she should buy some ammo (the same kind that she will carry) and practice with it. Even if she buys a new gun, she should not assume that it will work out of the box. It should. But nothing is 100%, and she should not assume that. In addition, she needs to hear the sound and feel the recoil a sufficient numbe of times so that she is not going to be inhibited about pulling it and, if necessary, shooting it. Some gun dealers with ranges have rental guns. If she wants to fire a .38 special before deciding to buy one, she might consider that as well.
Even with money being an issue, she should consider spending a few dollars and adding a laser sight like one from Crimson Trace. This is not only for her control over the gun but also, if she needs to pull the gun, to display a warning which may be sufficient to inhibit her ex (depending upon his personality). (She would know whether she would want to warn her ex, or whether doing so would just make him angry and cause him to come back and retaliate.)
If she wants a reliable small gun with sufficient knock-down power (although barely for some shooters), she'll have to spend some money and may have to spend more than the $300 that she is thinking about. A S&W 642 would be a good choice.

23. I owned an SP101 and it was a damn good little revolver. ...
However I replaced it with an S&W Model 60 with a 3" barrel.
It is probably personal preference but I find that S&W revolvers often have a better and smoother trigger pull than Ruger revolvers. Rugers are built like a "brick shit house" (A term you might understand if you were my age.) Basically that means they can handle far more powerful rounds than most other revolvers. I also find S&W revolvers easier to break down and clean than Rugers.
One drawback to the Model 60 is that it is not "hammerless." I personally believe that it's best to practice self defensive shooting by using the double action feature on a revolver (if available) rather than cocking the weapon and firing single action. The single action method of shooting is far better suited for target practice at longer ranges. It's far more challenging to use double action on a revolver for target shooting, but with practice it is possible to place your shots with a high degree of accuracy on a target at 25 yards. (Of course legitimate self defense shootings at 25 yards or even 15 yards are extremely rare as they usually occur within 7 yards and less.) I should also point out that any snub nosed revolver is not suited to long range shooting as it lacks the necessary sight radius to be efficient. Snubbies are often called "belly guns" for good reason.
S&W offers a number of small framed handguns similar to the Ruger SP101 and some are "hammerless" which means that they contain an internal hammer. One is the Model 640 with a 2.125" barrel which weighs 23 oz empty as compared to the Ruger SP101 Model KSP-321XL which has a 2.25" barrel and weighs 25 oz empty. The Ruger has a list price advantage of approximately $90.
My favorite revolver for concealed carry is a S&W Model 642 Airweight with an 1.875" barrel that weighs only 15 oz empty. This very light "hammerless" revolver will only handle .38+P rounds which is adequate, in my opinion, for self defense in most emergencies. It does have a significant amount of recoil because of its light weight and consequently is not a fun gun to practice with. It is however very easy for me to carry in a pocket holster in my pants pocket. I have absolutely no reason to believe and no wish that I will ever have a reason to use a firearm for self defense. I have found that it is very easy to leave my carry weapon in the safe if I just wish to go to a local store when I have to put a holster on. The Model 642 is extremely light and comfortable to carry and on the way out the door I can just grab it and its pocket holster and slide both into my pants pocket. As the Model 642 is a "hammerless" revolver it is a far better firearm to chose for pocket carry as it will not snag on the pocket when drawn and if carried in a jacket it can be fired through the pocket without even drawing it at extremely close range.
S&W also makes a similar weapon that will handle .357 magnum ammo named the Model 340PD. This EXTREMELY light weapon only weighs 11.4 oz. I have never had the opportunity to fire one of these handguns but if loaded with .357 magnum ammo, I would imagine that the recoil would be oppressive for extended practice. I'm not a masochist and I do like to practice with any handgun I carry, therefore pulling the trigger on a handgun that would make me think that it was somewhat similar to holding a hand grenade with the pin pulled is not something that I would imagine that I would enjoy in the least. I will admit that under the stress of an actual life or death situation, recoil will probably be the last thing I worry about. Of course placing accurate follow up shots with a handgun that has considerable recoil is difficult and not as quick as with a weapon that has far less recoil.
You can view the selection of S&W small frame handguns at: http://www.smith-wesson.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Category4_750001_750051_757768_-1_757767_757751_image
I should point out once again that I have no serious problems with the Ruger SP101 as it is indeed an excellent firearm. However if given a choice many experienced shooters prefer S&W revolvers over Ruger. It is my opinion that Ruger makes the superior semi-auto firearm.
Of course opinions are a lot like assholes as everybody has one. All I suggest is that you consider my advise and talk to others. If you do decide to buy a Ruger SP101, I'm sure you will be happy. It's a lot like the decision of between buying a Ford or a Chevy.

34. Another vote for SP101, here.
The most recent gun I bought several months ago was a small revolver for my wife to learn to shoot with. We were looking for more of a nightstand gun, than anything. As we tried different guns she simply was not competent or practiced enough to proficiently work with an autoloader. Although an M&P9c or Glock 19 would have been a good choice here had she wanted an auto.
The Airweights & LCR type revolvers were simply not good for a novice. The light weight and short barrel made accurate fire too difficult and follow up shots were hindered by sharp recoil. And it seemed that the concussion of the short barrel was too unsettling to her as well. She also did not like the larger medium frame guns... the heft and grip were not a good fit for her, although she commented the actual shooting of the gun was more pleasant.
The choice came down to a used S&W Model 60 Pro versus a new Ruger SP101 3". Both were small J-framed sized but are all-stainless and had more barrel to work with than a snub nose. This makes sort of like a cross-over revolver - small, but more substantial. I really reccomend taking a serious look at the Stainless Model 60 or SP101 revolvers. We ended up going with the Ruger due to the price difference. The used Smith did have a better trigger, but after polishing the Ruger's fire controls & spring surfaces with 2000 grit paper and lowering some of the spring weights, the Ruger had the better trigger pull.
The next step was trying various JHP ammo with her. This is real beauty of getting a revolver for a novice shooter (load availability). Unlike risking malfunctions in an autoloader, a revolver can fire reduced or enhanced loads with ease to suit the shooter. We tried low-recoil .38spl, regular .38spl, .38spl+P, and .357 magnum (she actually never tried the magnums after seeing me shoot some - LOL). Regular +P Loads were above her comfort level but we eventually settled on some .38spl+P Remington Golden Sabers for her... the Rem GS have always been a bit mild in all their loadings so it is really more of a stout standard load rather than a true +P load. Personally, when I shoot it, I usually use the milder Magtech .357 SJHP or mild Remington .357 Golden Saber.
My vote for your lady friend is a Model 60 (2.125" or 3") or SP101 (2.25", 3" or 4.2")... don't underestimate the concealability of a 3" gun. The big factors in concealability are width, grip length, and weight... barrel length is usually a very minor factor.

If she gets seperated from the purse, she's lost her defensive weapon. It must be carried on the body, and she needs to get instruction and practice on drawing it, and she needs this immediately. As in, start training even before the purchase. No pocket carry unless she's willing to wear clothing with pockets she can actually draw from effectively. And training!! Find a holster that is secure and easy to operate for her. And practice! Did I mention training?

22. If she uses a purse to conceal the weapon she has a larger choice of weapons ...
She just has to find a larger purse than many women use. The purse should have a separate pocket for the firearm. Some purses are actually designed for concealed carry but they are often expensive.
For an inexperienced shooter I would recommend a revolver. Revolvers are simple and reliable. In an emergency you just grab the weapon, point it at the attacker and pull the trigger. No safeties to worry about, no slide to pull back to load it.
Often a used S&W revolver in .38 caliber can be obtained for a very reasonable price. Often people own such weapons for self defense and rarely shoot them. Providing the firearm has had some reasonable maintenance it can be in like new condition. The recoil of a .38 S&W in any size with the exception of the extremely light models can be easily managed by even small women with little experience in shooting. I've watched small women who had some experience with shooting handle .357 magnums and even .44 magnums and enjoy the experience.
As far as holsters and gun purses for women check out this link:
An interesting link that I found for concealed carry clothing for women is at:
For some excellent info on many topics that largely deal with concealed carry for women visit this site that I often recommend. This is possibly the best site on the web for women who have any interest in owning or carrying a firearm for self defense and also contains some very valuable info that male shooters can learn from.
The Cornered Cat site has an excellent article concerning the best type of firearm suited for a woman:

24. I'd reccomend LCP, LC9, or a Small Kahr over a small revolver to MOST people.
The modern baby .380 and 9mm pocket pistols have come a long way than the old pocket pistols of yesteryear. Simply superior to pocket revolvers in terms of capacity and concealability. But given your statement that she is not very experienced and may be caliber sensitive... I might say get a small revolver. In addition to being absurdly simple in operation, a revolver can let you fire anything from reduced-recoil .38 to nuclear .357 magnums. With an autopistol, especially short action auto-loaders, you MUST fire nearly full power loads for reliable function.
The S&W are not price-friendly... but the Ruger SP101 revolvers come in 2.25", 3", and 4.2" and are all stainless. In and of itself, this soaks up recoil nicely unlike the lightweight Smiths. They are small frame just like the comparable to the J-Frames but are much more robust due to the brick-shithouse construction (stronger top strap, stainless frame and thicker forcing cone). Due to this, unlike alot of the J-Frames, the Ruger's can handle full house .357 magnums. They are a bit cheaper and a simple home trigger job (hone, polish, & springs) gives you a trigger rivaling any S&W factory trigger. I love my SP101.
Disclaimer: Just because a small frame revolver can fire .357 does not make it a good idea to feed it nuclear loads. I'm a recoil junkie... I love me some primer-flattening 10mm out of my Glock 29. After about 2 boxes of 10mm there is a bruise in the web of my hand - yeah baby! I threw some buffalo bore .357 (125gr/1,700fps) through my small SP101 for shits and giggles and it WAS NOT FUN. After 10 shots I was done... never again.

25. My wife took her CHP class yesterday.
She come home insisting that she get a S&W airweight with CT grips.
In class her NRA instructor had a whole host of pistols for her to look over...I only have pistols no revolvers. The instructors wife showed her the revolver and she fell in love.
Simple, somewhat small, light weight, and with plenty of punch.
I'm going to borrow one because I know how she reacts to the 9mm and 40 which she dislikes both because of the recoil. I know she'd hate my LCP.
I worry the 38 in such a small package may be too much considering she's somewhat recoil sensitive. I'm thinking they make reduced loads for the 38...so I may pick up a box of those for her to try.
If she doesn't like the 38 it'll probably be a 22lr LCP.

29. Rec from a friend of a friend...
Another instructor with connections in Rochester passed this testimonial on. He does not belong to this group so it isn't a commercial.
Rochester personal defense is probably the best carry class around, and they have classes for beginners as well as advanced shooters.
Make sure she is legal to carry, as most counties in upstate NY will not allow carry permits, such as Onondaga. Its up to the county judge to make the decision whether or not citizens are able to protect themselves or not. As far as guns go, have her carry whatever she feels she can shoot accurately, and make sure she plans on using it if she ever brings it out... if she is unsure of herself, the gun may be turned on her
If she is looking at an auto several instructors recommended the Bersa Thunder .380. It has a bit more weight than an LCP so is less of a handful to shoot, they say. I have no personal experience with that gun.

33. When it absolutely, positively, must go bang every time...
Smith and Wesson J Frame. Choosing a fighting gun based on light weight designs and low recoil is a road to failure. The .380 is barely up to the job and you have to have really good shot placement for it to work. All firearms are not equal. She needs something that can get the job done reliably.

35. Reliability is key
Last edited Tue Jul 24, 2012, 08:43 AM - Edit history (1)
I would have to agree with this J frame recommendation. A model 60 is relatively heavy in comparison with the air-weight and Ti framed revolvers. If she is recoil sensitive, the model 60 with 38 special ammunition is very manageable, "practicable", and very reliable. I have one of these for my wife and she shoots it well at the range (and likes it). Under stress is a different matter of course. That being said, if she is familiar and comfortable with it at the range, she should be able to use it under extreme circumstances. Practice ammunition is just that, for practice. Defensive ammunition is available from a variety of manufacturers. As an example, Buffalo Bore manufactures ammunition for short barreled weapons and is well thought of. It is in 38 special and .357. Designated "tactical", it can be had in a low recoil (?) low flash round.
There are purses designed for concealed carry and they work well. If she puts her purse down (off body carry) the she no longer has access. There are holsters designed for women where concealed carry is practical although concealed carry is hardly ever comfortable.
Finally, practice is absolutely necessary. Confidence will certainly help when making instantaneous decisions.
Blessings to all,

36. How compact do you want to go?
I had a Ruger LCR. 357 and it was an awesome little gun. I have since replaced it with a LCP and thay has been great as well. Little recoil, accurate, and very reliable.

38. Ruger SP101 in .327 Federal Magnum
Which can also shoot milder .32 H&R Magnums and the even tamer .32 S&W Long cartridges. Excellent for training and practice, and also packing a decent wallop for self-defense.
It's a 6-shot compact revolver, double-action. Pretty fool proof. All stainless steel, which means it's a tad heavy for its size, but the extra weight will help soak up recoil.
Price might be over $400, but that's not too bad.

Australian holders of toxic collateralised debt obligations linked to the faltering US housing market were dealt a further blow on Monday when mortgage insurer PMI Group appointed advisory firm Evercore to oversee a restructure of the company.
The failure of PMI Group could result in a "credit event" which will trigger a total write-down of several structured credit investments or collaterised debt obligations held largely by Australian councils, churches, charities and wealthy individuals.
About $250 million of CDOs have a direct exposure to PMI Group, which is on the brink of collapsing under claims related to home-loan losses incurred as a result of the US housing-market crash.
These synthetic CDOs typically take exposure to the debt of about 100 companies by purchasing insurance through the credit default swaps market. The premiums are then passed on to investors. But if a set number of companies default on their debt, the entire investment is declared worthless.
The global credit crisis and its aftermath led to many defaults of companies referenced by CDOs held by councils and other investors.
Several CDOs are a single default away from triggering a total write-down, three of which are exposed to PMI Group. The CDOs branded Torquay, Parkes and Scarborough total $250 million and would be written down to zero if PMI Group defaulted on its debt. Experts said that PMI's appointment of advisers did not constitute a "credit event" that would trigger write-downs of the CDOs, but that such an event was inevitable.
Several sources involved in selling debt products to Australian local councils said that much of the $250 million of expected losses had already been realised as these investors were required under accounting guidelines to assign market values to the assets.
The most-stressed CDOs have traded near values of zero since 2009 on expectations that they would be wiped out by a series of inevitable credit events.
Australian councils and charity foundations have lost hundreds of millions of dollars through CDOs sold before the global financial crisis.
These CDOs were assigned AAA credit ratings by the major rating agencies, which made them eligible for conservative investors to buy, but they proved to be far riskier because they were loaded with exposures linked to the US financial services industry.

My mom joined me for a one week trip to New York and after realising, the prices are pretty high at this time, we tried Wimdu out for the first time, and were really happy with our experience.
Sergej was a really friendly, open minded and funny host, who helped us whenever we had a question.
The apartment is located in a quiet area in Brooklyn, right around the corner to a metro station (and a couple of grocery stores and fast food places) which helps you getting into city center conviently .
The house is a bit old school, which I found quite charmy.We had a nice quiet room with A/C and a fan as well, which made it really comfortable, everything was clean and whenever something was missing (for example our beloved Bacon for Breakfast, or an Iron for my shirts) Sergej took care of it and organized it in the next moment.
I really liked the breakfast, he offered bagel, eggs, marmelade, toast, yam and even cereals, coffee and tea.
I really recommend the place and like to say Thank you to Sergej for the nice time we had at his place.
Serge was a good host, The room is OK, the beds are confortable. The kitchen is a bit small. The location is very good, there is a subway just 2 minutes from the appartment.
Ideal room for brit couple enjoying winter getaway, spacious warm nice bathroom and breakfast, serge nice guy happy to help but generally unobtrusive, good brooklyn location with subway links to nearby parks, beaches, museums, restaurants/bars and of course manhattan very close too - great way to save money over hotels!
A very spacious and comfortable room, only a few minutes walk from the subway station. Serge is a very nice host, friendly and helpful. The perfect place for a stay in NY, definitely worth the price !
Not much to share. I did not stay here as the paid reservation was cancelled before my arrival because of doubts regarding my intentions from the host. Too bad for him. The initial contact however was positive and (seemed) welcoming. That is why I still do give the property/host 1 star
Two girlfriends that celebrated our 40th birthday with a trip to NYC. We had a great stay. The room was big and on the 6th level so we had a great overview of Brooklyn.
Serge is very discrete, we never heard him and the bathroom was always available. We felt very safe and welcome, we could also lock our room when we were out.
The price for the room being only at 25 minutes to the hart of Manhattan was very reasonable and the windows could be opened to air the room. At night there is also a lot less noise than in Manhattan.
Brooklyn is at least two time as big as Manhattan and we discovered a lot of inspiring areas as Williamsburg, Dumbo and Red Hook (during the weekend).
I would certainly go back, I had good conversation with Serge on diverse subjects and had good laughs ..... Cheers Eva and Marianne
We are students from Germany. We stayed at this place for one week and had a great time there. The area is quiet and familial compared to other places in nyc. Serge was very friendly and awaited us in his apartement - even we arrived late. He's familiar with the surroundings and helped us a lot. Thumbs up for this place.
We had a great time at Serges place. He was very friendly and he also came with good suggestions to attractions we could go to. The locations is so good in connections to the subway station just 2 minutes away. It was time-saving that breakfast was included and we enjoided it very much. Thak you so much Serge, it has been very nice to meet you, and we hope you'll take care of your furture guests just as good as us.
Kind regards Pernille and Nikoline (DK)
Me and my boyfriend have been using wimdu the first time. We stayed at Serges apartment for 12 days. Here are our impressions:
- only 20 min. to Downtown
- supermarket on next corner
- 1 min. to metro station
- big room
- comfortable bed
- new sheeds after 6 days
- gave me a cell phone
- printed documents
- noisy shower and heater
- little space in kitchen, cooking difficult
- one towel each for the whole stay
- no dresser, only 4 chairs and one desk
- few silver- and tableware
All in all we had a great time in New York although we didn't like going "home" too much!
An excelent place to stay in NYC, really worth the price. It´s very close to subway station, 15 min by sub to Manhattan downtown.
The bedroom and the bed are big and very confortable, everything is clean and ordered.
I strongly recommend the place, mainly if you want to have a low cost trip and a excelent cost-benefit rate.

Good point. In fact a little thought shows that if a variable is bounded
on [0,1] then as the mean goes
to either 0 or 1 the variance must go to 0, because the mean can only
approach 0 or 1
if all values approach 0 or 1. That is true regardless of whether the
variable is discrete or continuous.
(Same is true for any finite bounds.)

Check out the job Lowe's did installing my new custom Pella window
It looks pretty good from the inside....
But then when you see it from the outside, not so much...
Notice how the paint came off of the siding on the bottom corner? They forgot to put my shutters back on, too.
That house and it's paint look to be sixty years old---You may be expecting results that are not possible on a house of that age--the paint was not bonded to the wood.
Chipped paint and/or minor dents and dings are normal (IMO) when doing a new window install. Who was supposed to do the finish work. Perhaps they left the shutter off so you could paint over the caulking?
ya could have cut the ''weeds'' back so the installer could get in there easier:wink:
199 Attachment(s)
All in all, the window install looks pretty good.
The peeled paint looks like a moisture condition from the old window possibly.
Not overly impressed with the coil wrap job, but it looks like it'll do the job.
I think the exterior finishing looks absolutely terrible... Some of the above points are true, but the aluminum trim is horrendous. It looks like a 1/2" gap between the siding cut-back and trim that was then filled with caulk. The interface between the trim and the window looks very questionable as well. I would not be surprised at all if the only thing keeping that window from leaking right now is a bead of caulk on the top of the trim, but that is just speculation on my part.... On the plus side, the reveals look good, so at least it was installed square. Just finished by an amateur on the exterior.
Anyway, it is an old house. It's 100 years old. I'm not sure what year the siding was put on but it was a long time ago. I expected there to be tyvek wrap or something underneath the siding but I didn't see any.
I was planning on having the siding replaced in a year or two but after seeing this I might need it sooner.
Any suggestions on what I should say to the installation people when they call me back about the install? They've already called me back about putting the shutters back on. The installation department is going to check in with me after it's done to make sure everything's ok. What do I say? That the exterior trim looks awful? I'm not all that familiar with the terminology as this is the first window I've ever bought and had installed. It does look GREAT on the inside though.
Sorry about the unkempt vegetation. I hadn't been home much lately and I should have hired a lawn service to keep things up while I was away.
:laughing:no need for an apology:no: i just hate bushes:furious:
Interior work looks pretty solid.
As HomeSealed said, the coil work is nothing to write home about but paint chipping is going to be a natural phenomenon in that case.
The guy who did the bulk of the install came by today. I unfortunately I wasn't home to talk to him but he put my shutters back on and hauled my old window away.
Lowes is still calling me asking how the install went and if there are any problems. They want to make sure it's ok but I don't know how to ask about the exterior trim. What do I say? That there appears to be a gap between the siding cutback and the trim that is filled only with caulk?
I am eventually going to get new vinyl siding and shutters, but I opted for a full frame window replacement in this instance because the old window was...well...old. It felt like it wasn't sealed too well because there were drafts near it on cold windy days. I wanted this window replacement to be done RIGHT. Now I am worried.

Romantic relationships are driven by women
- Dec 11, 2012, 12:30 PM IST
In a romantic relationship, it's the woman who takes the lead by relentlessly pursuing her man with phone calls and text messages, a new study has found.
But, once they reach middle-age their interest switches to a younger woman, presumed to be their daughters, who become old enough to have children, according to the analysis of 1.95 billion cell phone calls and 489 million text messages.
The study, published in the journal Scientific Reports, also shows that men call their spouse most often for the first seven years of their relationship, and then they shift their focus to other friends.
Study co-author Prof Robin Dunbar of Oxford University in the UK said the investigation shows that pair-bonding is much more important to women than men.
"It's the first really strong evidence that romantic relationships are driven by women," he told BBC News.
But the data shows that women start to switch the preference of their best friend from about the mid-30s, and by the age of 45 a woman of a generation younger becomes the "new best friend", Prof Dunbar said.
"What seems to happen is that women push the 'old man' out to become their second best friend, and he gets called much less often and all her attention is focused on her daughters just at the point at which you are likely to see grandchildren arriving," he added.
Prof Dunbar also claimed that the findings suggested that human societies are moving away from a patriarchy back to a matriarchy.
The aim of the project, according to him, was to find out how close, intimate relationships vary over a lifetime. After looking at an at an extremely large cell phone database, they were able to track these changes extremely accurately.
They found that men tend to choose a woman the same age as themselves -- which the researchers presumed to be their girlfriend or wife -- as a best friend much later in life than women do, and for a much shorter time. This occurs when they are in their early-30s, possibly during courtship, and stops after seven years or so. the researchers found.
Women, however, choose a man of a similar age to be their best friend from the age of 20. He remains for about 15 years, after that he is replaced by a daughter.
According to the researchers, a woman's social world is intensely focused on one individual and will shift as a result of reproductive interests from being the mate to children and grandchildren.
The data, Prof Dunbar said, suggested that "at root the important relationships are those between women and not those between men".
"Men's relationships are too casual. They often function at a high level in a political sense, of course; but at the end of the day, the structure of society is driven by women, which is exactly what we see in primates," he explained.
Many anthropologists argue that most human societies are patriarchal on the basis that in most communities men stay where they are born whereas the wives move.
But Prof Dunbar and his team argue that this only occurs in agriculturally based societies.
"If you look at hunter-gatherers and if you look at modern humans in modern post-industrial societies, we are much more matriarchal," he said.
"It's almost as if the pendulum between the two sexes, power-wise, is swinging (back) as we move away from agriculture toward a knowledge-based economy."

Aaron Dobson is still suffering from a foot injury suffered last year which required surgery in the offseason. Depending on how much longer it takes for him to heal up, he could miss all of training camp which starts for the Patriots on July 23rd. Being 6'3 with 4.4 speed, Dobson put up a 37/519/4 line his rookie season and was expected to make a sophomore leap.
Fantasy Analysis:
Dobson, when healthy, has a chance to do big things in New England's offense. He is expected to be their WR3 option behind Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola. With Amendola not being able to stay healthy, Dobson will have plenty of opportunities to shine. He is a sneaky WR3 candidate and is ranked WR55 in FFToolbox rankings.

As Law Enforcement Pursues Morehouse Hate Crime, Lambda Legal Asks College President To Take Specific Steps To Prevent Further Violence
Find Your State
Legal Help Desk
Our Sponsors
(ATLANTA, Friday, November 22, 2002) - In a letter sent to Morehouse College today, Lambda Legal, working with the student/faculty/alumni group African Americans for Safe Space Everywhere For All, said the college's response this week to an anti-gay beating on campus "was encouraging, but it was not enough." In today's letter, Lambda Legal told Morehouse President Walter Massey that educational institutions have both a moral and a legal obligation to protect students from harm and that taking proactive steps to address anti-gay bigotry and violence can help institutions meet their legal responsibility. "It's clear to us that, so far, local law enforcement is handling this hate crime properly," said Hector Vargas, Director of Lambda Legal's Southern Regional Office in Atlanta, which has worked with local police officials in the past to ensure that anti-gay violence is addressed adequately and has monitored the response to the Morehouse beating. "Morehouse is way behind law enforcement in treating this hate crime seriously, which it needs to do to help prevent additional anti-gay hate crimes." On Nov. 3, Morehouse student Gregory Love was beaten severely with a baseball bat in a communal shower at the college. Sophomore Aaron Price reportedly told campus police that Love looked at him in the shower, and Price used that as an excuse for the brutal beating. Tuesday, more than two weeks after the beating, Massey spoke to a group of 300 students and said he would form a committee to address diversity on campus. Students reportedly were not allowed to ask questions in the session with Massey, which was not open to the public or media. Lambda Legal has been working with African Americans for Safe Space Everywhere For All to circulate a petition among university and community members encouraging Morehouse to take long-term, substantive action against anti-gay bigotry and violence on campus. In today's letter, Lambda Legal urged Massey to take several specific steps, including:
- Change the Morehouse student handbook and policies to include sexual orientation and explicitly prohibit anti-gay discrimination and violence.
- Ensure that the committee formed to address diversity specifically addresses homophobia and that the committee is diverse and representative.
- Support student-led forums and provide an opportunity for the campus community to ask questions and make comments about the attack and the college's response.
- Provide training to students, faculty and staff on homophobia and diversity (which Lambda Legal has helped other educational institutions provide and today offered to help Morehouse provide).
"By making a dedicated effort to combat homophobia, you will make Morehouse a better place for the gay students, faculty, and staff at the college," Lambda Legal said in today's letter. "Just as importantly, you will instill in all Morehouse men the lofty values that symbolize your proud institution." Lambda Legal will continue working closely with African Americans for Safe Space Everywhere For All to ensure that all students are safe and treated with dignity, and will continue monitoring Morehouse's response to this hate crime to ensure that the college is meeting its legal obligations, Vargas said. For more information, read the full text of Lambda Legal's letter to Massey. More on African Americans for Safe Space Everywhere For All - including the petition being circulated on campus and in the community - is at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ASSEFA.

What kind of personality, traits, energy does a dog need to succeed in Agility or other sports?
Candy is my goldendoodle. I want to start her in agility because she has energy and I like she'd be really good at it. Are there any signs that a dog could be successful in agility? Any answer is appreciated!!

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
Poodles and Goldens are both very intellingent, athletic dogs, most well suited to the sport of agility.
You need to make sure your dog it at LEAST one year old before you start agility and responds well to basic commands like sit, down, stay, and come. Knowing hand signals as well as verbal commands would be helpful.
Also it would be helpful to teach her to focus.
Due to the limited writing space I am afraid I will run out of room before I get to say everything I would like to so PLEASE pmail me with any questions or comments.
I did agility with my BC/GSD and plan on training my BC for it.
:) Best wishes.

I think my dog would be an excellent candidate too. The energy level is out in space that's a good reason. But, mommy wants to tell you that before you do any sports to make sure you get an xray of the hips to make sure you are ok orthopedically first. It would be sad to be hurting if you are jumping. She also wants you to know to start off slow in jumping, do baby steps. Contact your a.k.c and local clubs for a list of clubs that do agility in your area. We have a sport family too and we love to jump ! :)

I do carry at church. It was awkward broaching the subject with our Pastor but to my surprise, he said "knowing your background, that you were once a Police Officer, I'm glad to know you have a gun at Church. Do you know Jim ****? He also carries, you and he should get together".
Unfortunately, I was disappointed to find out that my church is VERY liability conscious and will not officially sanction a security team. That's really too bad because I think we could have put together a great training program... but I digress.
If my Pastor had said no to CCW at church, I would have tried to educate him but that failing, I was prepared to obey his wishes.

5. Get Familiar With All The In-Game Powerup's
Modojo.com posted up a list of teh game's available powerup's:
– First up is Health. This is essentially a helmet that allows you to take a hit during your run without stopping it. It begins with the Rusty Bucket, but can be powered up all the way through the King's Crown.
– Next up is Damage. This strengthens your axe over the course of your run, allowing you to take down tougher or shielded enemies with ease. You'll start with the Throwing Hatchet and work your way up.
– Axe Speed is up next, and it's exactly as it sounds, allowing you to increase the velocity of your throws. You can also improve Axe Range as well, expanding how far you can throw them.
– Finally, Magnet helps you draw coins close to your character. This is very useful when it comes to coin showers, as you'll really clean up when they rain down.

suspension geometry
hello all,
i'm planning a complete frame for my 1983 cadillac coupe deville and fabbing my own rear independent suspension and control arms, also fab the front independent front, as i've read in couple post the front should be 5 degrees for caster tilting a arm back 5 degrees, and have read to have control arm in the front tilted at a up ward angle for geometry, but no one has given a degree of this angle ?, i bought the book STREET RODDERS CHASSIS & SUSPENSION HAND BOOK, and was informational, but did'nt really give any degree angles for any kinda references, mostly talked about mustang 2 front ends as kits, knowing you need to have the a-arm in a up ward tilt so the geometry keeps camber with in the right geometry, and knowing no need for caster in the rear as they don't turn, mainly need a camber and a toe adjustment for rear suspension, so looking for some kinda base reference on settings of degrees for a base setting, or a book that maybe bought or anyone have a point of reference. as i've found a couple post with some diagrams. as i'm going to fab my own rear spindles and using bear hobs from a S/10 4X4 front and axles, and a 1982 -1992 camaro rear center cut it down and have axles custom made so can bolt S/10 inner CV joint to, been planning it in my head just as of yet, but planning doing a drawing soon of said rear suspension i have got in my mind,
Been there, done that.
What you need is Carroll Smith's book Tune to Win. By the time you get through absorbing Mr. Smith, you'll be able to construct what he calls "paper dolls" and roll the suspension through bump and droop to get everything sorted out.
I hunted and read everything I could get my hands on trying to figure out IFS. Nothing made any sense until I read Smith. Then it all just fell into place. Constructed an IFS that had zero bump steer through 9" of travel (4 1/2 in bump, 4 1/2 in droop) and made 3 degrees of camber gain at full bump with minimal scrub.
Designing and understanding the geomotry of a front end is a TALL task.
You could study for a year and not have the understanding it takes to pull off what goes into it.
Tilting the "a arm" back doesn't give you caster. Caster is the leaning of the "knuckle" or spindle back. The degree you lean it depends on what you are going to use the car for, and it depends on a number of other factors in the design as a whole.
The less caster as a rule, the more the wheel "bites" as it goes around a corner, thus, a degree or two would be more for a canyon carver. While the more positive caster gives you less rolling resistance. Five degrees is on the high side and more for a highway car. Big BMWs or Mercedes will have 5-7 for instance. A salt lakes car going for super high speeds will have something like 18 degrees positive caster!
The leaning IN of the pivot points on your knuckle or spindle is called "SAI" or Steering Axis Inclination, or "King pin Inclination" on a straight axle car.
The lean of the tire is called camber.
The tilting of the upper control arm is for "anti dive" (basically).
The shorter upper control arms give you the neg camber when the tire goes up as the car is leaning into it giving the tire more bite.
There is a TON to learn, why not just copy a KNOWN suspenson that will give you what you are after? A seventies Camaro is a good all around design that with a few tweeks and a few trick add ons can make for a super overall suspension.
holy cows, an intelligent question and what a bag of worms you are opening. CASTOR:
positive castor on a simple straight front axel car as an example (ifs works the same way) the car will raise and the tires will tilt away from the turn, as the car leans away from the turn the tires will again become 90 degrees to the pavement, thus max traction. the lifting of the front of the car as you turn the wheel is what causes the wheel to return to center if you let go of it after the turn. i run 8* positive on my straight axel gasser and can hold the wheel with 2 fingers and focus on the tach and the shift points. on my 2 road race cars i run 3-6* positive castor, it gives good road feel and still allows good centering of the steering. don't go anywhere near 0 or negetive castor, the car will be squirelly or uncrollable. as brian said, leaning the top of the spindle back increases pos castor.
ALSO, as brian pointed out, KPI (king pin inclanation, or the ball joint centerlines should intersect with the center of the tire at the pavement. this reduces scrub on the tires.
this has to be factored in with castor and body lean in and out of corners. camber should always be 90 degrees to the pavement, but you also have to factor in tire distortion. i find that stiff shocks (KONIs set stiff) big sway bars and regular springs give me the most predictable and consistent results through high speed turns.
as far as toe, you should set the the the front toe at the front to 1/8 toe-in, anything close to 0 toe or toe-out will make the car once again squirrely.
as for your pics. the SLCAs (short-long control arms look pretty good) the mounting points may not be quite right. as far as brian's suggestion to look at a camero's suspention set-up, i would model mine off a C-4 corvette (sorry brian) the C-4s could do 1G (or close to it on the skid pad) i've read anything between .92 Gs and 1+Gs.
i could go on an on, but it's late. just be advised i am an old time alignment guy and know what i'm talking about.
i under stand alinement as i to have done front end alinements in many different alinement machines over the years, and yes be easier to use control arms from other cars, thought about corvette control arms and spindles, i'm a die hard GM guy and don't want any ford parts on my cars, and being a full size cadillac coupe deville also feel mustang 2 front not heavy enough for my cadillac, i know i maybe crazy for tricking out a large car like this but i like the car alot, and have 2 coupe devilles, a 1983 and a 1984, in 84 they only made 5,000 coupe devilles, so that one going keep close to stock, but the 83 planning to be my hot rod cadillac, the handling is slow on these cars, as to these cars are cruisers and not road handlers, as putting in a 472 with a fabbed intake using fuel injection as a 6 pack throttle body unit, but would like to have this car to go out looking for JUNKSTANGS, thank you for your info and input, yes i know alot geometry to deal with, with x-mas going on now can't find time sit down and draw out my design for the IRS & IFS suspension yet, so i'll be going to book store getting the book you have said about, i dig this site as i been getting alot input from many memebers on many projects, what steering rack would you say to use? as i guess would be alot to do with the width of my car, was thinking using a rack from a 1995 Z/34 monte carlo, with sport steering, i found a site where get about anything to fab a suspension www.welderseries.com there mostly for street rods but feel i can incorprate some these parts in my build. thank you again for your help!!!!. ASHES TO ASHES, DUST TO DUST, WAS NOT FOR FORDS MY TOOLS WOULD RUST!!!!!!
When I suggested going with a tried and true suspension I meant to COPY it not use the same parts, I'm sorry I didn't make that clear.
ok i was thinking that to and thank you for your input, very greatful!
Ralph, that link is solid gold buddy, thanks very much. It doesn't matter which rack you start with, but that is the key, to start with the rack and build the system around it. If you build the system to an arbitrary set of values and then try to match up a rack to it, you'll be pulling your hair out. I started an MII rack and then used Lincoln spindles with fabricated steering arms heliarced and gusseted to the front of the spindles. Why Lincoln? Because I had 'em and the brakes and ball joints were huge. I parted out a Mark V to get the front and rear suspension parts and 9 3/8" diff. I measured the length of a MII steering arm from the centerline of the ball joints to the center of the tie rod mounting hole on a friend's spindle. I made the fabricated steering arms with three tie rod mounting holes, the center one the same length as the stock MII, then one in front of that to slow down the steering and one to the rear of it to quicken the steering. I turned down bushings on the lathe and reamed them with a tapered reamer I bought from Speedway Motors (1 1/2" per ft. taper). Hole-sawed the arms, dropped the bushings in and welded them.
Your project probably won't have anything in common with the one I did, but I'm just throwing out some of the things I did in order to get your juices flowing.

472 Fuel Injection
A little off topic; What are you going to use for the fuel injection setup? I have a '67 Deville convertible that's receiving a '70 eldorado 500, and want to use FI. I've read about using a Ford 460 fuel injection system on the Caddi engine, and mid-seventies Eldorado FI. I even looked into Mega Squirt. What ideas do you have?
and I would think a guy could rescue the 460 EFI intake and all the associated computer and other electronics from a boneyard.
Last edited by techinspector1; 12-23-2008 at 10:34 PM.
as to my fuel injection set up, well going make the whole intake either out aluminum or stainless steel, and three throttle bodies from 4.5 cadillac the
HT-4500 motor, and yes use the mega squirt EFI and also the cadillac 4.1 EFI system, going to be a procressive system what i'm try to do, going run on the 4.1 EFI for just curising around, and have the mega squirt to come in later using a secound TPS sensor on the rear throttle body, but the center throttle body will have the stock injector bod with 454 injectors in the bod, so it will run on the center throttle body till you open the throttle, and than the multi port system kicks in, use cadillac dist. for a 425 HEI comptuter controled, or 368, and all the sensors, fabbed headers, and the mutli injector from a 4.5 cadillac, hopefully plan will come togethere!
You guys doing the big cads need to get to know the cad 500 guy in New mexico..he has the manifold base plate for building a custom intake as well as the head parts and pieces for the valve train..He goes 10.50 in a full size cad seville so he gets the results..he has the header flanges as well..great resource..if I were to go EFI on a 472/500 I would go with megasquirt myself but I do have some support for that sort of thing from the guys at the landspeed shop..
Sourcing of books and software on suspension I use Steve Smith Autosports for that as they have a lot of titles..mostly circle track but those guys do a lot with these suspensions and the lessons do apply..
I have tried most all of it and now do what is known to work..
yes i have his site, also my nephew machinest and has a water jet and laser machine to cut out most anything i need, and i also like making most my own stuff, part of hot rodding!, also been to 4 book stores now no one has the carroll smith's book, guess order it on line, hey thanks everyone, for all the input!!,
i'm sorry i put link to the welding site did'nt know! seen links in other post! so i'll not do it again! just seen other people asking questions and was trying help out with there builds, so very sorry hot rodder forum!!!
I have tried most all of it and now do what is known to work..

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
Amid Kate Zernike's NYT story about the back-scratching/stabbing, camera mugging, stump practicing, circus that was yesterday's Congressional hearing (ostensibly, the reason was to ask Gen. Abizaid what he thought of the more troops/less troops, timetable vs. facts on the groud debate on Iraq strategy), came sickening evidence of the games that Joe Lieberman is playing with both sides of the asile:
There was the self-described "Independent Democrat capital I, capital D," who is at risk of bolting and taking his party's new narrow majority with him. (Was that red tie a hint?) And there were the two parties, trying to bolster their positions on the war after an election that each side seemed to interpret in wildly different ways...
Senator Joseph I. Lieberman of Connecticut, began acting the role of cross-examiner, leading Gen. John P. Abizaid, the top American military commander in the Middle East, to say that such a withdrawal would increase violence and instability.
"I take it by your answer that you profoundly disagree?" Mr. Lieberman asked. With the Democrats, he meant. "We have a window of opportunity and, really, responsibility now, after the election," he said, "to find a bipartisan consensus for being supportive of the efforts of our troops and our diplomats there to achieve success."
To this, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, the leading Democratic contender for the 2008 race, knocked back the remains in her coffee cup [Easy, Hill.]...
As [Flordia Dem. Senator] Mr. Nelson questioned General Abizaid, the Arizona senator [that'd be McCain] stood up to confer with Senator Susan M. Collins, a moderate Republican from Maine. At this, Mr. Lieberman got up and walked to the Republican side to join them in a brief, chuckling huddle, then ambled back to his party's side with a glance at his colleagues as if to say, "You watching?"
In his questions, Mr. Lieberman noted that he was "picking up on" points Mr. McCain and [GOP Sen] Mr. Graham had made.
Sigh. Six more years of this.


text: Born in Milan in 1969, LaBaci grew with a father a little crazy and bohemien, that left her the heritage of an extreme passion for bossa nova, russian classic music and jazz. He was a trumpet player for fun, but his uncle and his aunt played seriously: uncle Giuseppe Ferrari was first cello in the Symphonic Orchestra of RAI, the Italian National television, and aunt Nerina Ferrari was first soprano at The Scala Theatre. We can say there was a certain passion for music in her family! During the first 90ies LaBaci met house music, felt in love with it and never left it. Her tracks are a refined mix of incisive grooves and bass riffs, with jazzy influences and a deep attention to the vocal component.LaBaci's biography LaBaci Musician

I recently purchased an engine from this company for installation in a customer s car. When the engine was delivered it was locked up and would not turn.

This company sucks big time. They lie about everthing. The don't stand behind the junk they sell. They charge you for parts that are junk, no good, then don't want to make it good. I'd walk before I bought anything again from these bunch of crocks. Buyer be very ware of these so called parts people. They have no morality about who they are and what they do.
