The Epistle of our being is written with letters full of blood drained from the love of God's Word.
Do not be to yourself more that God may be to you.
What shell did not feel the sound waves and which bird did not face at least once the wind?
There are not wings of dreams that have not previously dealt with the flight of black thoughts.
Nothing can be more painful than the cry of the word which gave us the inspiration to dream of love.
No one can be alone when he befriends with the forgotten stranger inside him.
Being brave in front of faith does not mean to be humble before death.

Guenevere, Queen of the Summer Countryby Rosalind Miles
View All Available Formats & Editions
Raised in the tranquil beauty of the Summer Country, Princess Guenevere has led a charmed and contented life, until the sudden, violent death of her mother, Queen Maire, leaves the Summer Country teetering on the brink of
Camelot--a vibrant pageant of love, heartbreak, hatred, jealousy, revenge, and desire--as seen through the eyes of its queen, Guenevere
Raised in the tranquil beauty of the Summer Country, Princess Guenevere has led a charmed and contented life, until the sudden, violent death of her mother, Queen Maire, leaves the Summer Country teetering on the brink of anarchy. Only the miraculous arrival of Arthur, heir to the Pendragon dynasty, allows Guenevere to claim her mother's throne. Smitten by the bold, sensuous princess, Arthur offers to marry her and unite their territory while still allowing her to rule in her own right. Their love match creates the largest and most powerful kingdom in the Isles.
Arthur's glorious rule begins to crumble, however, when he is reunited with his mother and his long-lost half-sisters, Morgause and Morgan. Before Arthur's birth, his father--the savage and unscrupulous King Uther--banished his wife's young daughters, selling Morgause into a cruel marriage and imprisoning Morgan in a far-off convent. Both daughters will avenge their suffering, but it is Morgan who strikes the deadliest blows against the King and Queen, using her evil enchantments to destroy all Guenevere holds dear. When the Queen flees to Avalon, Morgan casts a spell on Arthur and seduces him.
In the chaos that follows his betrayal, Arthur sends a new courtier to protect Guenevere, the young French knight Lancelot. Her loyalty to Arthur already destroyed, Guenevere falls in love with Lancelot, a love that may spell ruin for Camelot.

Read an Excerpt
She always knew that she lay in a queen's arms when her mother told her stories of the Fair Ones who watched out from their hills and hollows for little princesses like her. And she knew that she rode out beside her mother to greet the people all in white and gold because all the Queens of the Summer Country had done so too.
When her nursemaids said, "Hush, do not trouble the Queen," her mother would smile and say, "Let her come to me. One day she will be Queen."
When her father frowned and said, "Guenevere is a grown girl now; she must be married one day soon," the Queen would laugh and say, "'One day' is soon enough for her to choose." And all the tall knights around the Queen's throne would smile at her and agree.
Childhood was one long summer in sunlit meadows clad in white and gold, daisies and celandines spangling the grass like stars. At midday the sun blazed down on silent glades and lofty forests, living green cathedrals roofed with fire. Of all the kingdoms of these islands, her mother said, summers were longest here. That was why, when the Old Ones made the world, they called this the Summer Country, the sweet green southwestern kingdom by the sea.
It was an enchanted childhood in a land of summer sun. And though the autumn winds were blowing that would turn her world to winter, she saw nothing, and felt nothing, until suddenly it was gone.
Why is it all so very different now?
"Guenevere, where are you? Hurry, darling, do!"
She could hear her mother calling as she slowly climbed the stairs. In the wide gallery as she reached the top, the Queen stood in the midst of the crowd surrounded by her knights. Radiant in her light gown and crown of gold, she shone like a flower in the forest among the tall men.
So many men, so many watching eyes . . .
Guenevere moved toward the group of knights, willing herself to avoid their curious gaze. Laughing, the Queen took her hand and drew her toward the rail. "See, they're all here; which one shall I choose?"
Below the viewing gallery, a handful of horsemen were already out on the jousting field. Like dolls on their prancing steeds they curvetted about, the spring sun flashing from their armor of shining steel. On the meadowland beyond, the bright pavilions of the contestants dotted the grass like flowers. Between the tents, squires and pages hopped to and fro like crickets as they worked furiously to prepare their knights for the fray.
In the distance the white towers of Camelot shimmered in the sun. Clad in their holiday best, crowds of the townsfolk were pouring out of the gates and over the meadows toward the jousting field. With a loud peal of trumpets, the heralds were making their rounds. "Move along, there! Clear the field, make way!"
Guenevere breathed deeply, savoring the sweetness of the new-mown grass. She smiled at her mother's joyful face and dancing eyes. The first tournament of spring was always the Queen's Championship, and the Queen showed her pleasure openly, like a child. Indeed, she still was a child in many ways, Guenevere thought fondly, not like a queen nearing forty with a grown daughter now.
"Oh, Guenevere!" The Queen touched Guenevere's hair with a loving hand and brushed the silken sleeve of her new gown. "So fair-darling, you're so lovely today." She was looking around the gallery as she spoke. "Has one of my gentlemen caught your eye at last? Your father thinks someone has."
Yes, Mother, someone has.
But how do I catch his?
A dull sense of defeat dampened Guenevere's soul. She willed herself to meet the playful gaze. "The King sees husbands for me everywhere," she said evenly. "But madam, this is your special day, not mine."
The Queen's face clouded. "My special day-" She gave an odd small laugh. "It's the feast of Penn Annwyn, did you know that?"
Guenevere shook her head. "The old Lord of the Underworld?"
The Queen nodded. "This is the day, they say, when the door opens to the world between the worlds. When the Dark Lord comes for those he has chosen to take home." She shivered, the silk of her dress rippling like sunlight over water, and tried to smile. "Old superstitions from the Welshlands, where old things die hard. We have had word that Merlin has been seen."
Guenevere gasped. "Merlin?"
She always knew it as a name of fear. The country folk went in dread of strangers because Merlin could take so many different shapes. Once her nurse had snatched her up and run from a child with staring eyes, certain it was the old enchanter himself. But that was childish nonsense, long ago. She steadied her voice. "Is it so?"
The Queen looked away. "The old man of magic is about again, it seems."
Guenevere grew cold. "But that means-"
The Queen raised her hand and shook her head. "Where Merlin goes, dreams, rumors, and phantoms always follow him. We have sent messengers to London and to the Welshlands, and our scouts are everywhere. Whatever happens, we shall know of it."
Suddenly the Queen's spirits lifted, and she touched Guenevere's cheek. "Never fear! Whatever is coming is already in the stars. And tomorrow will be soon enough for that." She smiled her sweetest smile. "Be happy, my love!"
She called to the chamberlain. "Are the knights ready for the tournament?"
He bowed. "Ready and waiting for the royal word."
"Why, then," she said, beaming, "begin!"
In front of the gallery the heralds and trumpeters lined the grassy field, their colored tunics as bright as playing cards.
"All who challenge for the title of the Queen's champion, come now into the field!" cried the chief herald. "Enter now, or all depart in peace!"
The Queen stepped to the edge of the viewing gallery, arms upraised to acknowledge the cheers of the crowd. She stood for a moment reveling in the applause, then dropped her handkerchief. The scrap of white lace fluttered through the air like a drowsy dove. The chief herald's baton fell, a fanfare of trumpets split the air, and the best knights of the land rode out before their Queen.
"Look, Guenevere, look!"
Guenevere smiled. She knew her mother would miss no detail of the glittering armor and elaborate trappings as the twelve knights took to the field, their horses strutting out stiffly one by one. In their bright plumage of red and white and black, blue, green, and gold, they were gorgeous beyond compare. But with their helmeted heads and tall nodding plumes, there was something sinister about them too, more like birds of prey than men. Guenevere shivered. Why should such thoughts darken this sunny day?
"Leogrance the King, the Queen's first champion!" the heralds bawled.
Into the ring rode a tall shape encased in golden armor, a gold coronet encircling his helmet, attended by knights bearing banners of cloth of gold. First champion and first love, the Queen had told Guenevere, in the white and gold wonder of their early days, when the glow they shared had brought her into the world. Uneasily Guenevere eyed the heavy form still straight in the saddle, but stiff and unbending on a none-too-willing horse. Why do you do this, Father, every year, she wondered unhappily, taking the field with knights young enough to be your sons?
The Queen sat bolt upright, staring ahead. Do not ask! commanded her rigid back. See only that he has to do it, and that he needs our love.
Now all the challengers had made their bows, and still the people had not seen the man they craved. A clamor began and was carried around the field. "The champion! Give us the champion!"
Once more the bellowing heralds split their lungs. "Give welcome to the Queen's knight who comes here to brave all challengers-welcome the Queen's champion and her chosen one-"
The crowd roared its applause. From behind the wooden walls of the knights' enclosure at the far end of the field bounded a huge black horse with evil in its eye. Mounted on its glossy back, standing up in the stirrups, was a tall, lithe, laughing figure in red and gold.
The newcomer dragged the furious beast to a standstill before the gallery and bowed to the Queen. "Your servant, Majesty, in life and death!" he cried. Deftly he sent something spinning through the air. One of the knights reached down to catch it for the Queen.
It was a heart-shaped posy of roses and pinks, with trailing strands of honeysuckle that scented the air.
"A bleeding heart!" Guenevere said, entranced.
The Queen's glance flashed toward Lucan and away again. "A weeping heart," she corrected, her trembling fingers playing with the honeysuckle as if it were Lucan's hair. Her eyes were very bright, and the smile she gave was for him alone.
The heralds were trumpeting the next lord into the ring. But after the laughing knight in red and gold, all the challengers were shadows, doomed to fade. Lucan would win. He knew it, all those around him knew it, and even the dark and ugly monster that he rode seemed to know it. With each challenge the black beast charged down the field in a frenzy, bent on destroying what lay in its way.
But for all its boldness, Lucan's horse did not please the Queen. "That new creature Sir Lucan rides: what is it?" she demanded, and back the answer came: "A black stallion he sent for out of Wales, when he heard of its spirit from a lord who owned it there." The Queen nodded, but the faint frown did not leave her face.
The sun beat down, hotter than usual for the time of year. Lucan was clad now in deep black armor gleaming like his horse, and his opponents had no more chance than men of tin. One by one they galloped down the lists, and one by one he knocked them all down. At last the sun stood halfway down the sky, and Lucan held the field alone.
"So now, which shall I choose?" The Queen's face was pink, almost girlish, and lit again with that special smile.
"Madam, you know that you must choose the victor," Guenevere said fondly, "if you want the best of your knights to defend you to the death."
Once more the strange shadow crossed the Queen's face. "Don't talk to me of death!" She closed her eyes.
Guenevere stared. This was the woman who never admitted fear, the queen who had faced death in battle, fighting from her chariot like Queens of the Summer Country from the ancient days. No tears, no fears were words she had soothed Guenevere with from childhood as she schooled her to be strong. Faint strands of fear entangled Guenevere's heart. What was haunting her mother? Was she enchanted; was she ill?
"The Queen's champion!" The herald's chant was howling round the ring. "The Queen will choose her champion and honor him."
The Queen opened her eyes and gave Guenevere her best smile. "No tears, no fears, little one," she whispered, squeezing Guenevere's hand. "I must go." Guenevere could not speak. She sat without moving as the Queen's knights and attendants parted the crowd and ushered her below.
In the center of the field, the men-at-arms had raised a low platform for the Queen. Guenevere watched as her mother lightly crossed the trampled grass and mounted the dais, all happiness now, her quicksilver soul at ease again. Others followed with tasseled cushions bearing the rewards for the victor, rich gifts of gold made ready for many months.
In front of the knights' enclosure, Lucan stood waiting beside the King. Enraged at being kept standing, his horse was shying violently, till it was all the champion could do to hold the brute down.
At last the heralds gave the signal to move forward to the Queen. Flanked by the King, waving to acknowledge the wild cheers on all sides, Lucan set off in triumph down the field. On the dais ahead, the Queen waited for him with starlight in her eyes.
The sun was low in the sky now, the heat of the day no more than a memory lost. A sly wind sprang up, whipping the heavy trappings round the horses' legs, and the air grew cold. The sun sank behind a livid bank of clouds, blue, black, and purple, swelling from the east.
The two riders drew up before the dais.
The Queen stepped forward to meet Lucan, the gold chain of victory in her hands.
"Well fought, Sir Knight!"
"My lady and my Queen!"
Still astride the snorting horse, his face wreathed in a grin of triumph, Lucan leaned down toward the Queen. She smiled and reached up to place the chain around his neck. Neither of them saw the horse's evil eye fix her in its glare. With a loud scream the great beast reared up, its front legs pawing at the dying sun. Then, like heaven falling, it plunged down to strike the Queen and crush her into a broken, bloodstained heap beneath its feet.
With a scream of horror, Lucan leaped from the horse and dragged it away from the pale shape lying motionless on the grass. Still howling, he tore his sword from its sheath and struck straight and true into the horse's heart. As the monster beast keeled over, bucking and heaving, a laughing, snorting spirit burst out through its mouth and took to the sky. The last echoes mocked the hollow air and died as the horse's lifeblood sprouted in great red blossoms, soaking the earth where the Queen's body lay.

I loved 'Isolde'. I loved the 'Crystal Cave' series. But somehow Guenevere comes off as such a stupid woman. Her lack of foresight, ignorance, and sheer stupidity irritate me to no end. I purchased all 3 books in this series and am so infuriated at how silly this woman is that I cannot bear to read on. Chickie needs to get her head out of the clouds and focus on what is going on around her. No wonder she is a tragic figure.
you think you would love this book.. so boring i put it down three times to read other books.. i kept waiting to care about what would happen next in the story..around page 187 i gave up.
Those things that make soap operas what they are can all be found in this book: love, passion, deception, adultery, rich people, beautiful people, surprise pregnancies, death, and so, so much weeping! It's an emotional roller-coaster to read and follow. Too much so. I found myself rolling my eyes at the lack of intelligence and strength in Guenevere as well as her flighty and shallow thoughts. The evil characters are good because they add a sense of suspense and readability to the book. Most of the other characters, in my opinion, were sappy and became too unbelievable.
Before I go into praise of the book, I have to say it did start off slow. But then once it really got rolling I couldn't stop reading and finished it in three days. There are lots of unexpected turns(unless you know the story, I guess) and I love the romance.
a great start.lush, sensual, everything a hot blooded woman could want
It's adicting although it looks boring... You will love it
GREAT book!!! I was skeptical at first. It took me about 50 pages (or so) to get really into it but then I was hooked. It IS dramatic, it IS soap opera-ish and, well, isn't that why we read Arthurian stories in the first place? One of the best books I've read. Can't wait to get the second book!!
This book will be candy in the fans of Arthurian lovers everywhere. It blends classic tales with twists on characters, places, etc. I loved the depth of character and the metamorphisis of Guenevere throughout the book it was a great insight into her life.
I LOVED THIS BOOK SO MUCH!!!! It was soooo awesome... i would definatly recommend this book and all the others in this trilogy. It was amazing. Rosiland Myles is an incredable author. It is addicting I couldn't put it down...and then i had to go out and buy the other books in the trilogy as well...:)
i loved all three of the books, could never put them down! the story is tragic and lovely all at the same time, and really makes you feel with the characters and all. i really enjoyed how it was told from guenevere's p.o.v. and held the pagan povs of the time as well. i did think it was a bit harsh with christianity, even though the author tried to infuse some good christians in there. all in all a great book, great read, i wish it was more than just a trilogy!!
Ms. Miles is a true genious. I think anyone who has a passion for history, literature, or drama would love it. I think it would make a great movie. (oh and if there are any directors intrested im open to play the part of Guenevere ) )
This book was very well written and ahd a good story. I found the characters loveable, they really pull at your heart strings. however, the book is written in a feminist point of view. I only reccomend this book for those with strong stomaches and high tolerance fore thematic scenes.
The premise is good and all of the expected elements are there but, for some resaon, I found it difficult to immerse myself in the story and care about the characters.
Interesting twist on the Arthur story. A roller-coaster of emotion....DRAMATIC!
This book is amazing! I recommend it to everyone..more to romantics though. The first few chapters are confusing becasue tehey switch points ofview, but after teh mother dies it becomes very clear. And don't forget to follow up this great read, with the other 2 continuations
this is one of those books that you just cant put down. the detail and thought of the characters and the roles they play are one of a kind. Nver before have i read a book where the characters have been so intrictly intertwined together. to create a one of a kind book. no matter who reads it all will find that it is not only interesting but gives an insite into the life of people that we have all heard about but never understood.
For me, the first few chapters confused me a bit, and i almost stopped reading it. But when Guenevere meets Arthur, it gets exceptionally good!! I didn't want to put it down! =D
This book is very good! I'm halfway through it and I cannot put it down!

Posted on 03/23/2011 12:14:47 AM PDT by krogers58
Looking for some advice for a concealed carry weapon for the wife. We were thinking a semi-auto, clip fed weapon. She seems intimidated by the recoil on my 9mm (Glock), and was wondering if there was a decent handgun that would give her more confidence with aiming and firing. I was thinking of something like a .380, but I've never shot them to compare them to a 9mm. Obviously they shoot a smaller cartridge, but the gun seems much lighter and would seem to be more susceptible to kick-back. Maybe I'm wrong. I think a .25 auto might be too light. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I'd get her a short barreled .357 or .38 revolver. Get one without a hammer. No slide or mag for her to bother with. Just grab it and shoot, really simple like. The .357 has uber stopping power too. FAR more than the .380(or even a 9mm).
Smith & Wesson Model 632 Carry Comp Pro .327 Federal Magnum Revolver
.380 aren't all that bad. They've got pretty much the same caliber as a 9mm, just not as much powder behind it. Range vs shot placement are the two biggest factors there. Chances are if a woman needs it, it's going to be at point blank range to very short range.
About the Glock though look into a 9mm Springfield XD or some other brand. Your wife's problem with the Glock recoil may actually be due to the larger grips on a Glock and not really the recoil of the round.
Stay away from the .25, quite possibly the worst round ever made. You're better off with a pistol that shoots .22lr.
try a compact Smith&Wesson MP9...has the ability to change the grip size which might help with some of the recoil issues
I am sure you will get a lot of good advice here on FR, but what is comfortable to shoot for practice or self defense classes is so important. Get some range time BEFORE you buy.
I have only had one incidence of flinching, it was a nightmare. I found it is nearly impossible to hit what I was shooting at with my eyes closed.
I agree there, go with a hammerless revolver.
Only thing lacking really is capacity. Best case scenario shots never get fired even if the gun does get pulled, so capacity doesn't matter.
Worst case... after that first round the bad guy's day is pretty much ruined so the followups are just to make sure he doesn't get back up. Anymore than 3 rounds here and haven't been training enough.
"I have only had one incidence of flinching, it was a nightmare. I found it is nearly impossible to hit what I was shooting at with my eyes closed."
I find if I shoot with my eyes open I don't flinch so much! ;)
It will also never 'jam' or malfunction.
One-stop-shots are the best, but they come with recoil. So to balance it, why not have a gun that can unload thirty rounds? No aggressor will take that lightly - if at all.
Anyway, it's an option for those who really just can't stand recoil.
Now you give me advice. It is 52 years too late, but thanks for the effort.
How about a .45 with sub-sonic loads. Very comfortable to shoot, makes big holes.
3" barrel .38 revolver.
Lew Horton used to order them up from S&W.
Not always easy to find, but the best compromise between a snub-nose and a too large pistol.
Slightly longer barrel dampens recoil, revolver is SIMPLE to operate and check that it is, or is not, loaded.
Not true. I have had revolvers malfunction and break for me while at the range. It was rare and amongst many thousands of rounds fired, but it can happen. One instance is why my blued Ruger Security-Six now has a stainless ejection rod.
Perhaps the "seems intimidated by the recoil" needs a bit more thought. I'd be reluctant to unnecessarily compromise the primary purpose of self-protection. To me, the .45 ACP is the very best defensive round.
For a lightweight carry weapon, consider the Glock 36. It's one of the lightest (unloaded) firearms on the market. Gotta love the Glock's point-and-shoot simplicity, reliability, and durability.
For those with small hands, it uses a single-stack magazine. I recommend adding the magazine extender, which gives you a better grip; otherwise, your pinky finger hangs loose. You only get 8 rounds (6+1+1) to carry, BUT you get a very lightweight carry weapon; and, after all, how many rounds are you realistically/probably/likely going to need?
It's really about trade-offs. Getting used to the recoil may be your best overall choice.
Don't get a .25, a .22 long rifle has more power than a .25. .380s have enough for defensive use and you can get some good ones. However, the recoil on them is more than one would think but not as severe as a 9MM.
The question will be whether she can operate the slide or not. Some women don't have the grip strength for small frame automatics. I have seen some women that can't pull the trigger on DA/SA autos in the double action mode.
If she learns to handle the 9mm, I recommend a Glock 26 with a proper holster. Small, simple, high capacity. With the right ammo you can do a lot of damage.
If we are talking concealed then I want a nice silver plated snub nose .38 that I can jab into someones ribs because I don't like to miss.
If you watch the movie Police Academy, the character Tackleberry might have a couple of suggestions for you.
You'll get endless suggestions on this topic here at FR, as the topic always does. I suggest one thing only: the gun you have with you is better than the gun that's left at home.
Basically, that means that the gun you're comfortable carrying, though of smaller caliber, is better than the stopper you've left at home because it's too heavy, too bulky, too unwieldy, or kicks like a mule.
Personally, I like the Walther PPK for its time-tested reliability and security (safety blocks the firing pin); however, the SIG-Sauer is probably just as good, if a bit more expensive, and the Beretta is othing to sneer at.
Then, again, most people will tell you that if you don't practice regularly, a revolver is best; the Smith and Wesson Chief's Special is just fine in that regard, and, yes, it is used by a good many Chiefs of Police.
I agree, take her to a range. She should go with the largest caliber that she can comfortably shoot with accuracy.
Take her to a range where they rent different guns to try. Pick a couple S&W small J frame revolvers (Model 60LS), single action and double action, but the hammerless double action only trigger pull may be too stiff for her.
Look at the Bersa Thunder 380 conceal carry while you're trying out suggestions.
S&W Model 60LS can shoot both 38 and 357. She can start out with the lighter 38 loads and work up from there at her own level.
I've found that the key to being able to handle recoil is the grip. Get something that your wife can hold securely and comfortably and most of the recoil issues will go away. I would also recommend a hammerless revolver, .38 cal, 2" barrel. A couple of manufacturers now are offering ported barrels and that helps a lot, too, especially if you move up to .357. And I agree with everyone who says stay away from a .25 auto.
Husbands buying guns with/for wives can be (I said can be, not will be, or are) difficult. Hubby's 'suggestions' are sometimes colored by what he would carry, wife's preferences are sometimes shaped by wanting hubby to be happy with her choice of the 'right' gun.
If your wife is having problems with the recoil of a Glock 9mm, then it's entirely the wrong time to buy a pistol for her to carry, unless there's a reason to make it happen now.
In that case, I'd go with the revolver suggestion -- basic, easy to operate in ALL functions (sometimes people who do not have strong hands have difficulty cycling the slide of an automatic).
Anyone who carries is far better off with a weapon with which they are completely independent -- not relying on assistance to load, or to make ready, or to holster, or to unload, or to chamber check, etc.
Likewise, it needs to be a weapon which does not induce that moment's hesitation before pulling the trigger, as the shooter anticipates recoil.
I'd rather have my wife carry a .22 revolver she was comfortable and proficient with, than a .45 she was hesitant to pick up.
In the event of actually having to draw it, a calm person with a pistol is a lot more likely to regain control of the situation than someone shaking and waving a gun all over the place.
What KoRn says is true.
Look for a .38 snub nose with an internal hammer.
Just less for her to screw up.
Make sure it's actually the recoil that she doesn't like. My wife doesn't much care for the slide movement when a semi-auto is fired, but she's fine shooting revolvers that have more recoil than my 9mm semi-auto. Over the years, she's gotten used to that aspect of semi-autos and will shoot them, but when she was starting out, she disliked it enough that she went with a revolver for home defense.
Don't know how much shooting experience your wife has, but if she doesn't have much, she might consider getting a .22 pistol and putting a few thousand rounds downrange before ruling out a 9mm pistol. May be that she just needs the comfort of familiarity with shooting in general in order to get comfortable with shooting a 9mm.
skip the clip fed handgun. get her a can of wasp spray.
I'd go with the first poster's suggestion and add that there are lots of feather weight model revolvers out there. I don't care for them but your wife may.
My only addition has been Crimson Trace lasergrips. They improved my targets and confidence 1000%. I practice with .38s also.
A lot.
Nice. I could see this fitting my wife better than the XD-9.
Kimber Pro CDP II. Not too big. Not too small. Just right. If I'm dressed, it's in my pocket.
Ruger SP101 .327 Federal Magnum
One shot stopping POWER!
Too many problems to list; i.e. limp wristing, slide spring too heavy, ammo problems, etc.
Forget the 'concealed hammer'—it makes the trigger pull hard, and accuracy for the unskilled is non-existant.
You need 'cock and shoot' for starters.
Revolvers of the proper size are the way to go. Get one with all the power you can handle, then PRACTICE!
The Bersa is the one I was going to recommend. Got one for my wife, she loves it and she cannot stand recoil well. Load it up with the 90gr Corbons and you have a platform that is superior to 38s with a 2 inch barrel. She likes it over the Glock because of the external safety.
The low profile sights on the gun are great too as I have taught her to point shoot at the very close range this gun is designed for...self defense...nothing more. "if you are shooting at something beyond 25 feet, you have no reason to be using a self defense gun".
>>it makes the trigger pull hard, and accuracy for the unskilled is non-existant.<<
I respectfully disagree. CTLasergrips! ;D
This might help (note that it needs to be a pink 0.38): http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011/03/22/armed-beauty-queen-fatally-shoots-intruder-florida-home-invasion/#
"Silver plated"? Right, Kemosabe.
Id get her a short barreled .357...
Because defense .357 Magnum rounds out of a lightweight revolver has far less recoil than 9mm out of a semi-auto.
Did you read that part about "intimidated by recoil"
I have one and like it. Light easy to shoot, accurate, and small. Get the larger magazine. It gives you a longer grip.
I agree with the recommendation about the Springfield XDm 9mm. I am a woman with a small hand and have no problems with my Springfield. The XDm comes with small, medium and large backstraps, and are fairly easy to switch out. I installed the small backstrap and it fits perfectly in my hand. No problems with recoil. I could shoot that gun all day without a lot of fatigue, and that's saying something because I have had arthritis surgery on both hands over the past two years.
I worked with a guy in the 70's that was shot by his wife at point blank range 6 times with a 25 Auto. That was Friday night. He came to work on Monday.
Get her a wheel gun in 38.
Remember it is very embarrassing not to mention often fatal to get shot woth your own gun.
If she has no problem working the slide in a semi-auto, the Bersa .380 that IOWAfan mentioned in 24 is a good carry choice. Not as compact as the tiny ones like Keltec P3AT, but recoil is not nearly as noticeable.
Finally, as many have mentioned, go to a gun range and let her try a few different guns, and see if she finds one, about which she says "I can carry and fire this one all day long".
Good luck.
You might want to consider a Makarov or the Polish variant. Not much recoil and works every time. The 9x18 is between a .380 and a 9mm. The Polish ones are @ 200.

I was scammed on Skype by this girls picture & fake video. The girl they are stealing pictures from is Josie Model .ca
The name used was Bernice Berko (email@example.com) in Ghana, Africa. Claims shes from Kumasi & Accra. That her mother is sick with diabetes her father is dead and her uncle is out to murder her over a warehouse inheritance. So she needs money for "Mum" so she can get money to move out of the area to capetown South Africa. Wants Moneygram sent. She also wants the money sent to Charlotte Oduro which is probably the same person. She also uses Lana Brooks photo's as her friend. Another person used in the scam is Helena Boatemaa4 on Skype that backs up the fake story. IE Lana Brooks photos. They claim no speakers on Skype. That way there's no interaction with voice & picture at the same time. A Richard Kuso is also in on this scam. She wants moneygrams sent to him also.
Do NOT tell your scammer he is posted here or report their account as it puts others at risk!

As for Gabrielle's father, Russell Anderson, well, he's in an asylum for the criminally insane, claiming to be possessed by a demon named Abaddon, which turned him from a mild-mannered scientist into a serial killer. For Gabrielle, the dawning realization that her mother might not be chasing rainbows and her father really isn't insane is one fraught with danger, adventure, and romance. It will lead her from Rhode Island to the Australian Outback and the distant past of 50,000 years ago, into a world filled with magical creatures.

SBD/June 3, 2014/Media
NBCSN Sets New Network, NHL Audience Records With Kings-Blackhawks Game 7
Published June 3, 2014
EAST MEETS WEST: The HOLLYWOOD REPORTER's Mike Barnes noted teams from N.Y. and L.A. -- the "top two TV markets" in the U.S. -- have not met in a championship since the '81 World Series between the Dodgers and Yankees. Kings RW Justin Williams: "We want to put L.A. on the map, and put it significantly on the map with regards to hockey." Rangers-Kings Stanley Cup Final Game 1 is tomorrow at Staples Center (HOLLYWOODREPORTER.com, 6/1).
THIS IS OURSELVES: AD AGE's Michael McCarthy reported NBC's upcoming Stanley Cup promo spots will "continue to use the Freddie Mercury/David Bowie vocals" from the a-capella version of the '81 classic rock song, "Under Pressure." NBC has already employed the song in spots "to drive tune-in" for the Eastern and Western Conference Finals. NBC Sports "started working on new 'Pressure' spots" as soon as the Rangers defeated the Canadiens in the Eastern Conference final. The net's in-house marketing department is "creating the campaign," the idea for which was a "collaboration" between NBC Sports Group Senior VP/Marketing Bill Bergofin, Dir of On-Air Promo Ray Worsdale, On-Air Promo Producer Ryan Watson and Editor Mike Gazzara. Rather than "focusing on bone-jarring checks or painted, screaming fans, NBC chose to focus on the intense pressure felt by players as they strive for the most hallowed trophy in sports" (ADAGE.com, 5/31). Meanwhile, in N.Y., Bob Raissman referred to NBC play-by-play announcer Doc Emrick as a "virtuoso performer." Emrick's "priorities are simple," as he "reports what's unfolding in front of him, voicing calls so dramatic that they are mesmerizing" (N.Y. DAILY NEWS, 6/1).

We take pride in our home and it's upkeep.
Our home is cared for by an individual just a short walk away and readily available should any situation require immediate attention.
Thank you for a wonderful experience. We had the
opportunity to stay in your beautiful home and enjoy
our family vacation! Lots to do in the area, a lot of
shopping and very close to downtown Orlando. A
definite choice for future vacations. Thanks for
sharing your home with us...The Giorlando family!
The house was beautiful. It was really awesome and great I loved the beautiful pool in the back . We had a great time. The kids enjoyed themselves. Loved that the outlets were baby proof as we were traveling with a toddler. Overall the house waa great and really comfortable. It felt like our home away from home. We can't wait to vacation and stay there again :)
Once again our 5 week stay was amazing. The location is perfect for a visit to Disney Parks or a day trip to area beaches. The house has everything you could possibly need, comfortable beds, the pool and patio area is perfect for relaxing after a busy day. Thank you again for sharing your home.
Nice house. Very comfortable. Quiet Neighborhood. Good location for a Disney trip. Small TV's in 2 of the 4 bedrooms. House was clean. Very minimal supplies upon arrival. Close to stores. I would stay here again.
We've been staying at this location for years now. It's like our second home. So close to everything. Large enough for families, clean and comfortable. Thank you again Patricia ... it's always a pleasure.
The property was as described on VRBO. It was clean and comfortable. The gentleman caring for the property was extremely friendly. The downside included the pool being sanitized just before our arrival so the kids had to wait till next day to use. One sofa had been broken down, he was in the process of fixing with drywall screws, but it only held till someone sat down. Disappointed that there was not a icemaker in frig. Furniture could use some updating because it is worn and obviously not very serviceable. Despite problems, we had a nice stay in Orlando and Magic Kingdom with the grandkids.
We totally enjoyed ourselves! Very comfortable and spacious. It made us feel at home. The location was perfect for our needs. It had everything the kids needed and more. Adults too, :-) I wish we had more time so we could have stayed longer. Hope to be back real soon.
Located on the quiet community of Sunrise Lakes in the town of Clermont, Lake County, our home is very strategically positions for many activities.
Our home is just 10 minutes away from Disney World. Universal Studios, Sea World, Kennedy Space Center and other major attractions are just a short drive away as well. Lake Louisa State Park offering scenic walking trails and fishing is just a 5 minute drive. Golfing is just a couple of miles south.
No matter which coast you prefer, Gulf Coast or East Coast of the Florida panhandle, you are an hour away from the lovely beaches.
Restaurants and shops, such as Wal-mart Supercenter , are two traffic lights away. Should you enjoy Outlet Malls that is a short drive away as well.
No matter what your preferences are, you are in the center of it all.

A magnitude-7.7 undersea earthquake rocked eastern Indonesia early Saturday, the U.S. Geological Survey said. There was no danger of a tsunami.
The earthquake occurred in the Banda Sea about 120 miles south of Ambon city, the USGS said. It occurred at a depth of 212 miles.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said no destructive tsunami threat existed.
There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.
Indonesia, the world's largest archipelago, is prone to seismic upheaval because of its location atop a volcanically active region known as the Pacific "Ring of Fire."
A Dec. 26, 2004, earthquake of magnitude 9 off the Indonesian coast generated a tsunami that left at least 216,000 people dead or missing and nearly 2 million homeless in 11 countries.
The true toll will probably never be known, many bodies were lost at sea and in some cases the populations of some places struck were not accurately known.

Academic Experience:
So far I have just been taking the basic classes that you need before you go into your study. This year coming up I will be entering the program of my study.
Academic Experience:
I am studying to be a Registered Nurse. The classes are both hands on Nursing skills and Sciences in order to learn the most to become an effective Nurse.
Academic Experience:
The professors teach the curriculum but don't make you really learn anything. 3 of my 5 classes had exams and 1 of them was open book. I don't feel like I have learned anything to advance me in my degree.
Academic Experience:
I just switched my major to Pharmacy Technician. I haven't taken many classes specialized for this major. I can see how the courses that I have taken benefits my major though. The instructors make sure to cover a wide variety of majors. The classes I have taken that apply to my major I have found are very interesting and easy to understand.
Academic Experience:
It is hard to have an actual major at this school as the catalogue of classes changes yearly as do the class requirements, also if 30 yrs ago you attended there and were in a special course which required that courses be continually repeated they are counted against you even if they were not graded and were on scholarship and not Federal or State financial aid. Classes also from then no longer count towards meeting your major's criteria because they are considered outdated, although basics such as Algebra have not changed in how the problems are solved in basic concept, so one had to retake the courses prior to where they left off which adds to cost and cuts Financial Aid for future semesters causing one to take out student loans in order to graduate with even a General Studies Degree.

Maria needs to recognize that few husbands ever think the time to have a baby is now. We all want kids,,,,,someday.
First they need to look into cost of the birth, starting at $10,000 then the cost of taking care of them etc.

One option for running my tests in my Play! application is by executing the command
play auto-test.
One of the ways Play seems to identify tests to run is to find all test classes with the super class
play.test.UnitTest (or another Play equivalent). Having a test class extend
UnitTest seems to come with some overhead as shown by this bit of stuff spat out in the console:
INFO info, Starting C:\projects\testapp\.
WARN warn, Declaring modules in application.conf is deprecated. Use dependencies.yml instead (module.secure)
INFO info, Module secure is available (C:\play-1.2.1\modules\secure)
INFO info, Module spring is available (C:\projects\testapp\.\modules\spring-1.0.1)
WARN warn, Actually play.tmp is set to null. Set it to play.tmp=none
WARN warn, You're running Play! in DEV mode
INFO info, Connected to jdbc:h2:mem:play;MODE=MYSQL;LOCK_MODE=0
INFO info, Application 'Test App' is now started !
Obviously having a Play environment for tests that requires such a setup is useful, however, if I have a test class that tests production code that executes logic that does not require a Play environment I don't want to have to extend
UnitTest so that I can avoid the overhead of starting up a Play environment.
If I have a test class that does not extend
UnitTest then it does not get executed by the command
play auto-test. Is there a way to get the
play auto-test command to execute all tests regardless of whether I extend Play's
Edit: Someone has actually raised a ticket for this very issue

Although a lot has changed over the past 80 years, one thing has managed to stay the same. Somewhere in the world, there's a kid who's got something to say, and chooses to do so through the power of a Gretsch guitar. In fact, with more and more musicians discovering the phenomenal knockout punch that Gretsch delivers everyday, that's a sentiment that won't be changing anytime soon. Over four generations, Gretsch guitars have provided players with the quality and precision needed to take their skills and talent to new heights of greatness. With their signature twang and jangle, the distinctive hollow body sound of a Gretsch guitar is widely recognized, and has been a source of passion for artists ranging from Chet Atkins to Brian Setzer. In fact, both of those artists even have their own signature Gretsch models.
Whether you're an experienced player or just getting started, Gretsch guitars have a model for every playing level. For an affordable guitar that has plenty of jangle and very little hum, the Gretsch Electromatic Pro Jet with Bigsby B50 tailpiece is an instrument that will surely provide more twang for your buck. The intonation is astounding, its playability is superb, and the appearance is pure Gretsch. Another popular model is the G5420T Electromatic Hollowbody Electric Guitar. A single-cutaway hollowbody that's complete with Filter'Tron pickups and a Bigsby tremolo, the look and sound of this guitar is nothing short of phenomenal.
With so many models to choose from, we would be here all day if we tried to discuss them all. The fact is, when you're in possession of a Gretsch guitar, you're in possession of a sound that's truly special. It's a sound that's firmly cemented forever in the history of popular music, and a sound that will forever remain a vehicle for musicians all over the world who've got something to say. That's the power of a Gretsch guitar.
