Started by Elle Feb 27.
I'm starting a new zine on mixed race identity and POC issues.
I'm from Australia and there's not many zines local to the area that really explore these issues.
And yes international submissions are accepted!
I'm after anecdotes, photos, poetry, artwork etc ..
I want to explore all that is involved in being a mixed race or POC person be it the highs or lows ..the connections ..the isolation.
This project is about building strength, communication, love and power!
It's opening the space for us to connect and learn from eachother!
please email email@example.com
ps. this is my first zine.. I'm excited to hear from you all!
Snail Mail themed zine:
ongoing submissions -
CHIDDUSH: A New Zine On Old Ideas
looking for submissions for inaugural issue of Chiddush! a space for new-ish Jewish thought and creativity.
(Chiddush is Hebrew/Yiddish for a shift in tradition or brilliant innovation. Simply, something NEW).
seeking art, photography, writing of all kinds.
what makes Jewish meaning today? make it up! Any combination of Jewish content/creativity is accepted (don't ask if it's Jewish enough - it is!)
(this can be a space for: storytelling, show and tell, swagger, text interpretation, poetry, language games, pretty/not so pretty pictures, and more...)
SEND SUBMISSIONS TO firstname.lastname@example.com BY JUNE 27th.
Premiere at Portland Zine Symposium 2014, and release party to follow.
Sponsored by Tent: Encounters With Jewish Culture
Incandescent, a color film zine, is taking submissions for Issue Six! To submit, email firstname.lastname@example.com up to 12 examples of your photography and/or your website. As always we are looking for color only / film only work. The last day to submit to Issue Six is June 15th and it will be released at the end of July. More info on our blog.
Muchacha fanzine Issue #9 "Body Positivity" CALLS OUT TO POC, trans* folks, disabled badasses, women, curvy/voluptuous/fat/thick Goddesses/Gods/Genderqueers, and lesbians/gays/bis/queers to submit poetry, prose, art, comics, photography, quotes, scripts, musical lyrics, ramblings, etc. concerning body positivity. Submissions are very open to interpretation and can include but are not limited to discussions/art related to how race, gender, size, sexuality, able-bodiedness, age, and class intersect with ideas related to body positivity and/or embodiment.
Contact me at email@example.com with submissions. The deadline is Tuesday, July 1st and all contributors will receive a free copy when this edition is released in mid-July!
Note: *This edition of Muchacha aims to challenge the mainstream white/heterosexual/able-bodied/cisgender-centric feminist movement of "body positivity" that has and continues to exclude/ignore the fact that many marginalized people have distinct experiences with their bodies that are often underrepresented in our society. Another goal of this summer issue is to reclaim the term "body positivity" in a way that is inclusive of diverse voices and encourages reflectivity on how bodies can also be cause for pain, conflict, and/or healing.
I am looking for submissions for my Harry Potter fanzine. Please feel free to submit the following:
Articles about the HP books - when you first read them, the impact they had on you etc.
Quotes from the books
Photographs - feel free to photograph yourself reading the books or in HP fancy dress!
I would also be interested to hear from anyone who has visited the Warner Bros studio tour in Surrey, UK or the Florida HP theme park.
Please email submissions to: firstname.lastname@example.com by 7th June. Chosen submissions will receive a copy of the zine so please include an address. Make sure, if submitting artwork or photographs, that you submission will work in black and white.
Those selected will be notified in June. If your submission is used, you will be fully credited in print and on the website. You will receive a copy of the issue. Share it!
I would like to make a fanzine about the 80s postpunk/goth/batcave scene. I was born decades after this happened so I haven't got much other than photos I found online. But I want to include photos, experiences, etc from people who were into this sort of thing "back in the day". Ideal time frame is 1978-1991. If this works out I'd like to get it published in time for the Portland Zine Symposium (basically print time would be early July). a contribution can be one sarcastic sentence or an entire essay. I'll print it regardless. It will be half-size (like folded generic 8/11 printer paper) and the length really just depends on if I get any submissions. Probably black and white copies, maybe colour covers. People who submit will get a copy of the finished zine.
Message me if you'd like to help out!

|Procedure return value
|Thu, 12 Jul 2007 09:32:11 GMT
First off, this is not really a bug, it's more of a restriction. As per the needs of my inhouse framework I need a procedure to be able to return a value other than a ResultSet (I need a integer). The reason I need to use a procedure; is because I'm using INOUT parameters. When call my procedure, it needs to look like this: { ? = call myProcedure(?,?,?,?,?,?)} Where the first ? represents a status-code, ie a failure = -1, and a successfull would be 1. All the other procedure paramters are INOUT. If I where to use normal scripting methods in any other DB, for instance DB2 or Oracle then I would be able to do this. It seems that the problem has to do with using JAVA "Stored" Procedures. Is it possible to either make procedures return primitive types, OR for Functions to be able to use OUT and INOUT paramters? I've got High Hopes for Derby, but it's issues like this that might just sway me to use a different DB. I appreciate any feedback you can give me.

Good Product...Bad Shipping
by Jacquie on 8/9/2011
The product is fine; however, it arrived all stuck together and discolored. Probably not a good idea to ship to Dallas via UPS in 110 heat. My other supplement company shipped with cold packs & they all arrived perfectly.

I wandered through the wooded glade next to the stables. The air was fresh, and soft petals drifted past me in the breeze. I had changed, and felt the soft flow of skirts around me. My dress made me more femenine, and for once I was glad of it. I needed to be femenine right now. I looked up in to the branches.
The light shone through in white beams among greeny mists. Bright splashes of soft baby pink bloomed around me and I paused to sniff one. The forest rustled in welcome. I came to a circle. Many elves were knelt around, swaying with the breeze. A woman in the centre was chanting. I joined the group kneeling. We began to sing, the song of the Abratha Kann. The song for Emerwen, the Queen of the Forest. Any elf around would find themselves drawn to this place, while humans would be put under an enchantment that would put them under the power of the Queen of the Forest, a tree spirit who would become part of the the chosen elf, apparently the girl who stood in the middle. There had been cases where the Queen had chosen another, but it was unlikely. This person would be blessed with a connection to nature so deep that any creature would do this elf's will, as long as it was good and true.
The humans around would have been warned by a gong, and would have been sent to a room where it is not possible to hear the song from. Already I could feel elves joining us, and the power surging through us was steady and strong. Soon she would be here. All the elves were now here, and I also felt another presence. A human. But I couldn't stop to look if it was one of the party. The words of the song flowed over my tongue, seeming to be part of the wind. And then I heard a voice.
"You princess, you are the chosen one." My mind was filled with a sudden light, and I felt another presence in my mind. I stood up, and entered the circle. The girl in the centre backed out respectfully, if not slightly jealous.
""Friends..." The voice of the Queen of the Forest spilled from my mouth, sounding curious to my ears. "I see there be humans in our midst" my eyes turned and saw Ramin, Vilhelm and Mariena standing by the edge of the circle. Vilhelm and Mariena were in a trance as they should be, but Ramin was not. So was he not human then? Or was he just part human?
"Part I believe, young one" said Emerwen inside my mind, "although at this distance I cannot be sure. You must bring him to me." I gestured with my hand towards Ramin. "Come Ramin he who seeks the Forgotten Realm. I shall look upon thee with Valnariana's eyes, and see in to thy soul."

The deal
Halifax will increase from three to 10 the number of £100,000 prizes in its May and June Savers Prize Draws. The bank is increasing the prizes now to encourage people to use their ISA allowances.
Good points
It's a free prize draw, and you qualify as long as you have the right amount in the right Halifax savings account.
Bad points
You'll need to have an aggregate balance of £5,000 in one or more of the Halifax's qualifying savings accounts for the whole of the month before the draw. You also need to register for the draw in order to qualify for a prize.
This is a gimmick, pure and simple, but it does give the bank's savers a chance to get an extra £100,000 tax-free. It's a slim chance, but a decent bonus. But you would be foolish to switch your account to the Halifax just for the extremely remote chance of a win.

Alexandra Ripley
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (June 2016) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Alexandra Ripley, née Braid (January 8, 1934 – January 10, 2004) was an American writer best known as the author of Scarlett (1991), written as a sequel to Gone with the Wind. Her first novel was Who's the Lady in the President's Bed? (1972). Charleston (1981), her first historical novel, was a bestseller, as were her next books On Leaving Charleston (1984), The Time Returns (1985), and New Orleans Legacy (1987).
Life and career[edit]
Born Alexandra Elizabeth Braid in Charleston, South Carolina, she attended the elite Ashley Hall and received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York in 1955 with a major in Russian.[1] She was thrice wed; from 1958-1963 to Leonard Ripley,[2] an early partner and recording engineer at Elektra Records, from 1971-1981 to Thomas Martin Garlock (1929-2008), and in 1981 to John Vincent Graham (1926-2007), a former professor at the University of Virginia, from whom she was legally separated at the time of her death.
She died of natural causes at her home in Richmond, Virginia, and is survived by two daughters from her first marriage to Leonard Ripley, a son-in-law and granddaughter, Alexandra Elizabeth (of her namesake). The Associated Press[3] reported that her death occurred on January 10, 2004, however, Social Security Death Index and Virginia Death Records indicate that she died on January 13, 2004.[4]

I found this list I started working on called, "things not to say to secular parents." So I'm going to discuss a few here in hopes that it might help other parents.
Over the years, I've always been a little surprised by the responses from people when I tell them I'm not raising my kids to believe in God. Interestingly, many of the comments and protests from believers are remarkably similar. Yet all of the comments are just as remarkably uninformed.
Here are my responses to some of those questions and comments:
- "If something happened to one of your kids, you would want to believe they are in heaven."
No, actually I would not want to believe this. Let's say heaven does exist: not only is it dark and cold beyond words, there is absolutely nothing to do. Forever and ever. You exist in an eternity without a physical being, without a mind and you're sharing the same living space with ex-boyfriends, ex-wives, bosses you didn't like, and crotchety neighbors. No, I don't want my children to live on in a perpetual nothingness. I'd want to know that they thrived on this planet, with as much awareness and love as they could stand. I'd want to know that they enjoyed every second of their short visit here. From where I'm standing, heaven is merely ego's wishful thinking. Heaven is here. Heaven is our awareness that being here is a good thing.
- "But you believe in evolution and science. Those are beliefs, too."
I believe in science, but that is different from saying, "I believe in God." I believe in science means that I put faith in the people and institutions that are doing the work, that I have confidence in their methods. I could do the math or science myself, if I had the time and the education. But you and I cannot specialize in everything. We cannot do all things. So we must trust that others are doing their jobs, the same jobs that we could do, using the same methods that we were all taught and have agreed are worthy of our trust and confidence. These things are provable and repeatable and verifiable across the scientific community.
"I believe in God," as many philosophers have noted, is an existential claim that is made when the thing believed is unrealistic, unproven or highly unlikely. There are other such claims: I believe that eating more burgers before conceiving will create a boy baby. I believe that kissing a frog will produce a prince. I believe in the tooth fairy. Vampires. Leprechauns. Water nymphs. God.
- "Belief in nothing is still belief in something."
This is one of those puerile platitudes that just is not true. I don't believe in unicorns. Do you? No? Is that a belief in something? If so, what?
Many Christian apologists will insist that atheism is a "belief system" or a religion, too. This is simply an attempt to equalize the two, to bring unbelief on the opposite side of the equation from religion, which is a belief system. If, believers postulate, both sides are "beliefs" and if one is free to choose from two separate–but seemingly equal–systems, then it standardizes religion. Religion is now logical like math and science. Science and math now require a leap of faith. Belief and unbelief are simply one of two choices that any reasonable person can make. This is not logical. One person's belief in God cannot create two religions: theism and atheism.
This concludes my Sunday rant. I should note that, in spite of all the religious silliness I've encountered, I adore Pope Francis. He is a great example of a humanist.
Please feel free to add your, "Things not to say to secular parents" below.

Zara Phillips and England rugby star Mike Tindall have welcomed their first child at an NHS hospital, it has been confirmed.
The Queen's granddaughter, who is 16th in line to the throne, delivered a baby girl in the early hours of this morning.
The baby weighed 7lbs 12oz, and Phillips returned home with the child just three hours after the birth.
"The Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Princess Royal, Captain Mark Phillips and Mike's parents, Mr Phillip and Mrs Linda Tindall, have been informed and are delighted with the news," the Queen's Press Secretary added.
Prince Harry Quits Army Helicopter Job
The child's name is set to be announced in due course.
Buckingham Palace first announced Phillips' pregnancy in July 2013, shortly before the arrival of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's baby, Prince George.
Using Phillips' married name, a Palace spokesperson said in a statement at the time: "Mr and Mrs Mike Tindall are very pleased to announce that Zara Tindall is expecting a baby in the new year.
"The Princess Royal and Captain Mark Phillips, Mr Phillip and Mrs Linda Tindall, and members of both families are delighted with the news.
Kate Middleton's Phone Hacked, Prince William 'Almost Shot'
"This baby will be the first child for Mike and Zara and the third grandchild for the Princess Royal."
The couple met during England's Rugby World Cup-winning campaign in Australia in 2003.
They wed in July 2011 in Edinburgh's Canongate Kirk in a private ceremony attended by all the senior members of the Royal Family, three months after Phillips' cousin Prince William married Kate Middleton.
The Bizarre Gifts Presented To The Royal Family In 2013
Phillips won individual gold in three-day eventing at the World Equestrian Games in Germany in 2006. She also won silver in the team three-day eventing event in the Olympics in 2012.
David Cameron's official spokesman described the announcement at the time as "quite terrific news", telling reporters: "The Prime Minister will send his very, very best wishes to the happy couple."
The pair are already aunt and uncle to two nieces, Savannah and Isla - the daughters of Phillips' brother Peter and his wife Autumn.
The royal baby will be the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh's fourth great grandchild, after Savannah and Isla Phillips and Kate Middleton and Prince William's son, Prince George.

Boogalu Productions is culture and travel organization with headquarters in the San Francisco Bay Area and Havana, Cuba. Founded in 2001, our group has been creating multi-media and since 2013 providing travel solutions - always with the focus on Cuba.
Philip Ross (American) and Mileidys Quintana Swaby (Cuban) are the husband and wife team that lead the organization. Philip is in charge of travel program design and development. Mileidys is the licensed operations director in Cuba.
Philip's Bio: My over 40 year involvement with Cuban life and culture began as a teenager growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area where I was first exposed to live performances of Afro-Cuban music. As a young man I became a student of Afro-Cuban & Brazilian percussion and then a performer and teacher. My first trip to Cuba was in 1999 and in 2001 I founded Boogalu Productions and for 12 years produced an acclaimed series of Cuban music and dance educational videos. In 2013 I met my future wife and soon after established a permanent home base in Havana where we initiated the Hosted in Havana travel program.
Mileidys's Bio: Mileidys grew up in Havana and throughout her education received top honors. At the University of Havana she earned a degree in social psychology, and later taught as a professor. From 2004-2016 she had a position with Cuban television as a news program producer. Mileidys and Philip, with their young son, live in the Vedado district of Havana.
Where does the name Boogalu come from ?
Boogaloo or bogalú is a fusion of Afro-American soul music and Latin music that was invented as a cross over style to engage the music-dance communities in New York in the 1970's. I named my company Boogalu (mix of the two spellings) Productions to honor this rich tradition in the Americas to blend cultural expressions.

Daniel: Aw I like this guy already. He seems to be very interesting and I would love to know how he starts to change his behavior in a movie or a play or a novel et cetera.
Mona: You're characters are great. They are very realistic, which is perfect. It's the point of the activity. Like I can picture her and it's great that you didn't go into detail with what she wore. That'd be bad. What you said, was perfect.
Miranda: would be my guess to who you are most like. Although Halycon...is there anything significant about the last name. I believe it means peace or something like that so I'm curious.
Christopher: I have to say, so far he's my favorite. (I'm commenting as I read.) He reminds me of so many people at school and I would love to see how you develop his whole loveless part of his life. That would certainly be interesting.
James: He also seems interesting. Different from most characters that you see in the media. I like that. Is this person really like your drama teacher? Just curious becuase it doesn't seem subtle at all if so. Nothing wrong with that at all. :)
Eva: It's the sequel to Fiddler on the Roof!! Ha. I'm sorry but the whole time I read her character it made me think of Fiddler on the Roof. But also whenever somebody says tradition...I want to sing. She's cool too.
I don't see why you're so worried about your characters. I'll be honest...don't tell anybody...so far I like all of yours better than the other characters that have been submitted by somebody else. :) Ssssh. I have no suggestions to make anything "better" like it's just perfect. Very nice.
Awww, thanks so much!! I'm so glad you like them! You're right, Miranda is based off of me (her last name, btw, I don't know what it means...I read it somewhere and liked it, I will look that up). And James, yes, he's based off of one of my former drama teachers. Eva- lol, its funny you should say that about Fiddler on the Roof, the person she's based off of is always compared to Yente from that show. Haha. But anyway, thank you, I can't wait for the next part of the challenge!:D

Jessica SpearheadMature
The night air was nice and cool on her skin. Her shining black hair blew in the wind. She had been traveling with Sarcoblek, Xalanitus, Kinxia, Darkwater and Coo. They were there investigating murders that had been happening under radar of the war that was currently happening here. They stopped moving to make camp. Xalanitus pointed his flame stick to the ground making a fire instantly.
Sarcoblek yelled, "Hey! Hey! You can't go burning the grass like that! I can hear it screaming in pain Xalanitus!"
Xalanitus just rolled his eyes, Sarcoblek's ability to talk to all living things was a pain for everyone sometimes it got really annoying.
Jessica sighed smacking Sarcoblek in that back of the head. "Don't be stupid Sarco. Even if the grass is in pain do you really think it matters. As long as the roots are intact it will grow back, we are on Volcaina right now the earth is rich and the plants are hardy. Lava has probably gone over this spot at least a hundred times."
Sarcoblek just sighed which in turn made Darkwater laugh. It was always good to see some amusement during these hard times. Kinxia ruffled her brown feathers and stomped the ground with her foot making a small pit around the fire and some seats around it with her power of earth. All the seats had grass on them so they were felt nice to sit on. Everyone took their seats around the fire except Kinxia who stood behind Xalanitus.
Xalanitus clapped his hands together. "Ok, so this is what we are going to do. We are going to split up into groups of two. Me and Kinxia will go to the east and check the villages there for the killers, Jessica you and ummmm...Darkwater, yea you two will go west."
Sarcoblek instantly raised his hand. "I object to this! I would like to travel with Jessica instead!"
Xalanitus sighed shaking his head. "If I let you two go together you will just kill anyone you don't like and spend the rest of the trip glued to each others faces. Fine, you two can travel together."
Sarcoblek smiled broadly while Jessica accidentally made a triumphant "YES!"
Xalanitus eyed here evilly, his deep black Eyes menacing. "Anyway the final group of course will be You and Darkwater, Coo. You guys will head South. So everyone I want you to be careful. We are hunting our own kind, a rogue group of vampires and werewolves, they will not be easy to bring down. If they are revealed to the public the war here in The Hecronium sector could become a bigger mess than it already is. Oh, one other thing, if you happen to find some Pink, or blue Hecronium get some for Maria. She wanted a souvenir."
Kinxia stomped her foot the fire going out. Everyone stood up as their seats receded into the ground. Jessica walked over to Darkwater grabbing her hands. Her short black hair was shining in the light, and her catlike eyes glinted as well.
"You take care of yourself night sister. I don't want to have to find another battle partner."
Darkwater smiled her pointer fans showing in the light of the Hecronium Moon. Jessica knelt down to coo looking him straight in his beady eyes.
"I know you know Volcaina well being an Oorean and all, but you better not lay a finger on Darkwater of so help me I will pelt you."
Coo smiled at her slyly. "That is quite fine Jes, but I'm not really into kitty cats, or humans for that matter."
Coo turned away from her his twin head tail piercings jingling as he turned.
Darkwater waved and followed him as he started walking south. Jessica scowled looking over to Sarcoblek who just shrugged. Xalanitus walked over placing his hand on her shoulder.
"Don't worry, Coo is a very honorable werewolf. Regardless if Ooreans are selfish by nature he seems to have gotten over that kinda thing."
Jessica sighed, "Thank you master, I wish you and Kinxia the best on your journey."
Jessica turned to Sarcoblek who had his hands behind his head and was seemingly leaning on air. She walked over to him grabbing his arm and dragging him along. He stumbled for a moment and moved her hand to his. They started walking west getting out of sight out of the others.

AMSTERDAM (Reuters) – Syria has started the long-delayed destruction of a dozen underground bunkers and hangars that were used for the production and storage of chemical weapons, diplomatic sources told Reuters on Monday.
Damascus last year handed over 1,300 metric tonnes of toxic agents after joining the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), but it is months behind schedule in destroying the facilities used to make and store its deadly stockpile.
Work at a first tunnel began on December 24 but was delayed by winter storms. The site will be sealed off with cement walls by the end of January, said one source in The Hague, where the global chemical weapons watchdog is based.
"The work finally began, which is good news," said another source. "There were some technical issues and the bad weather has slowed up the process."
Syria joined the OPCW after a sarin gas attack killed more than 1,000 people in the Damascus suburb of Ghouta on August 21, 2013, prompting threats of military intervention by the United States, which blamed President Bashar al-Assad's government. Assad's government and rebels blamed each other.
US President Barack Obama called off military action against Damascus after Syria agreed to destroy its chemical stockpiles. A year later the United States began a bombing campaign against Islamic State militants in Syria with the tacit approval of Assad, which still continues.
More than 200,000 people have been killed and millions displaced in the Syrian civil war since March 2011.
The head of the OPCW is expected to provide an update on the destruction of Syria's production and storage sites, part of its obligations under OPCW membership, to foreign governments at closed door meetings in The Hague on Wednesday.
The technical details of how the seven hangars are to be demolished with explosives are still being drawn up with experts at the OPCW, the sources said.

Here are the most interesting stories Saturday in the AFC East:
New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft wants Pro Bowl receiver Wes Welker back on the team.
Morning take: This is good news for Welker. Last year, the team refused to give Welker a big-money extension and opted instead for the franchise tag. This year, the franchise tag could be off the table if the Patriots don't want to pay $11.4 million. Maybe an extension gets done.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers hired former Buffalo Bills defensive coordinator Dave Wannstedt to run their special teams.
Morning take: I don't think many Bills fans are sad about this. Wannstedt wasn't very good as Buffalo's defensive coordinator, despite having some talent to work with.
Could the Chicago Bears be interested in Miami Dolphins free-agent receiver Brian Hartline?
Morning take: That would certainly make things interesting for Miami. The Dolphins are trying not to overpay to keep any of their players. But if Hartline gets a nice offer elsewhere, that could force Miami to pay more than it wanted or let Hartline walk.
Will former New York Jets head coach Bill Parcells make the Hall of Fame?
Morning take: It's a pretty deep class this year. Parcells could be one of the people fighting for the final spot or two. We will have more Hall of Fame coverage Saturday evening when the names are announced.

Guns for HireMature
Since Deadwood was off limits Lead became the place we'd have to go for supplies but for now we would make do on all the food we'd brought with us. Along with the staples, we'd purchased a lot of freeze-dried food at Cabella's, battery powered lights and such, next trip I planned to bring a small generator. Our next course of action was to rustle up some business so we could start making some money. Montana gave me a couple names of men who might have the kind of work we were looking for, unfortunately, one was in Deadwood, but the other was thankfully in Lead. Before we left Jake and I chopped firewood so the women would have wood to cook with. Jake and I also gave then a quick lesson on how to prepare canned and freeze-dried food. Since we didn't have horses yet Jake and I had to "hump" it over to Lead which wasn't a biggie but we more or less stayed off the road lest we be jumped by bad guys.
Michael O'Rourke was a tough looking Irishman who had a tiny office in the larger assay office in Lead. Eying us up and down he asked gruffly what we wanted.
"Sir," I stated flatly, "My name is Mark Channing, and this is my partner Jake Brenner. I understand that you run gold shipments out of here over to Sidney, we would like to offer our services as security for such work."
He looked us over again then asked,
"Are you from around here?"
"Yes, we live over in Deadwood."
"I don't know you, how do I know I can trust you, you might be setting me up."
"That's a fair question sir," I replied, "You don't but we are looking for long term employment, so all I can add is put us to the test."

Sure. She might like the Ruger sp101. The weight of it might make it a pretty comfortable gun for a gal to shoot 38sps.
This is a discussion on Looking for a new revolver... within the General Firearm Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; I want to get my fiancé a gun to have around the house when I'm not home. She has a hard time using the pistols ...
I want to get my fiancé a gun to have around the house when I'm not home. She has a hard time using the pistols and has a difficult time using the pump 12 gauge. I have a single shot she could use, but if she misses or there is more then one assailant she is in a world of hurt. The only revolver I have is an S&W 629 classic .44
It weighs quite a bit and she is tiny and has a hard time handling it. Any ideas on a small powerful revolver I could get her? I really like the S&W .38 special. We saw it at the store and she liked it. Any other ideas on a good powerful revolver for a small woman to defend herself with?
Sure. She might like the Ruger sp101. The weight of it might make it a pretty comfortable gun for a gal to shoot 38sps.

We have a Taurus 605 that has 38+P's in it for my wife.
A real man loves his wife, and places his family as the most important thing in life. Nothing has brought me more peace and content in life than simply being a good husband and father.
the j-frame wheel guns are the best. you can get a used s&w model 36 and/or 60 real cheap. yes s&w has other models in the j-frame style, but it is hard to beat a used model 60/36. you could also look at the other makers of small wheel guns, i.e... charter arms, taurus. they both made a small j-frame type guns for a smaller price. find someone that has one and let her shoot it to see if she likes it. that's the best way to know if she will like it and use it. taurus also has some of their j-frame type guns in the .17 HMR round. easy to shoot, but a hot round.
An armed man is a citizen. An unarmed man is a subject.
Red State State of Mind
Just throwing out another possible option to be considered here.
You might look at a S&W K frame, .38 Special, 4 inch.

Just roll to your rifle and blow out your brains,

Couple of thoughts--
In a SD situation trigger pull is not generally a problem but it might be for practice. The 8- 10 pound pull of a smith might discourage her. Spousette preferrs my (well, now she lets me borrow it) 629 over the 642 and 44 spl 696 and even the Kel Tec P3AT. The 629 is her bedroom handgun but I get to use it in AK.
Think you can pick up SW Model 10s fairly cheap ... 38 with 4 in barrel ... never owned one but they are smooth shooters.
Think the 642 is tough to beat for a 38 snub.
Kel Tec P32 ?
Old testament....Shooting to Live 1942
Newer testament... Kill or Get Killed 1976/1987
.44 Specials in the 629 should do fine for her...unless you really want a new gun. Either way, the trigger pull is going to be there on a DA revolver.
I have a Ruger GP141. Its a 357 with a 4 inch. The grips are big enough that small hands can get a good hold on it while not being to big. Its a little heavier than the snubs and 2 inch but when she goes to the range she will appreciate the extra weight that mitigates recoil.
My wife keeps mine near her side of the bed. When we go to the range I make her shoot 6 357 rounds then she can switch to 38. At home I load the 357 that way if she misses the BG will more likely be cleaning his pants on his way out.
Works well for us and for simple wheel guns, they don't come better made than the Ruger

"Not only do the people who put their lives on the line to protect the rest of us deserve better, we all deserve better than to have our own security undermined by those who undermine law enforcement." -Thomas Sowell
I would advise you to not go the J-Frame route.
J-Frames are great guns, but in truth are an "Expert's" weapon. They are harder to shoot than the "Duty" size weapon. +1 on the Model 10. It was what Cops carried for years all across the United States, until the switch to the autoloader en masse by agencies.
Since it is a "House Gun" size isn't much of a factor. I'd get either a 4" or 6" barrel. 4"er's are more common. You could even get a .357 magnum and load it with 38 Specials for her. I wouldn't have her shoot 38's and then load it with .357's unless she fires some off first and can handle it. Also, please remember that the smaller and lighter the gun the more recoil you will have.
Some models you could look for and and probably find in the Used Gun Case are:
Model 10
Model 13
Model 15
Model 19
Model 64
Model 65
Model 66
My "pick" would be the 13 and the 65, same gun just different finishes. My second choice would be the 19 and 66 combo. Again, same gun just different finishes. The difference between the 13/65 and 19/66 is two are fixed sights and two are adjustable sights.
These are all "K" Frame guns and stocks can be purchased to accomodate a wide variety of hand sizes.
I bought mine (wife) a Taurus .357 yesterday, model 605.
While at it I got another Colt 1911.
I would 2nd the motion to look at a 4 inch K-frame S&W. I have a 66-7 in 357mag. But shooting 38's out of it is very easy on the hands. My g/f loves shooting this and it is very accurate as well. CT also makes the laser grip for them as well if you want that.
Best bet is to go to a range and have your g/f hold and rent what they have.
My wife is very fond of her Ruger SP101 3" loaded with .38 Spl. It's small enough to feel comfortable in her hand but heavy enough to absorb recoil, especially with a Hogue Monogrip installed. Crimson Trace is supposed to have a new laser-intergrated "soft" grip available soon. That should complete the package.
There are only TWO kinds of people in this world; those who describe the world as filled with two kinds of people...and those who don't.

The contact end between me and Carlos' last victim... I know by experience that it only lasted a few seconds but it felt like the entirety of everyone of those days, every detail and feeling perfectly remembered...
I feel so confused... Which one am I again? Alexandra or Grey? Which are the alien feelings and thoughts and which are the real ones?
I breathe in the cold air of the spring night. Breathing with the belly rather than the chest, like they teach to people who suffer from anxiety to do. I examine my own body contracting every muscle one by one.
I can feel it... I'm definitely a guy, no arguing about it.
It takes a while to sort out my mind and get back to reality. It's then that I notice the girl looking at me worriedly.
"I'm alright." I pant out, mentally exhausted. But they don't seem reassured...
"It's not my they're looking at." I realize... I look beside me and I see Lou on the ground, gibbering and panicking. He must have touched me while I was reliving the ghost's memories... Proximity strengthen the link, body contact expand it even more.
"LOU!" I yell as I rush to his side. He doesn't know how to defend himself against psychic shock.
I hold him down by the shoulder, pinning him on the earth. "Listen to me Lou. What you've seen is not real. Your name is Lucas Tanner, Not Alexandra Millers. Do you understand?"
He continues yelling and rambling, his mind lost in a sea of non-sense trying to process the memories that contradict one another. While he does so, his hands claws at me, making nasty bleeding scratches on my arms.
Behind me, Mia's frozen in fear or maybe she can't move because the ritual is still in effect...
I try to make him wake up but words don't get through and this isn't something I can wait for him to snap out off...
