Becoming Conscious
in Culture
We will discuss the meaning of consciousness from an Afro-Centric perspective. How does one become conscious? How do someone that is conscious behave? Are there any difficulties that come with living a conscious lifestyle? Consciousness is awareness at its core!
in Culture
ENVISION THIS: African vodun is universal to all of humankind in its spiritual and psychological benefits.
Mami Wata has a mission is to educate those interested in authentic African Vodun and to help dispel the myths associated with it as well as assist those in their own personal journey towards their service of the spirits regardless of race, creed, color, sexual orientation or gender. Mami studied traditional medicine and psychology in Africa and became a priestess. She is author of the book Thy Name is Vodun.
Understanding that traditional African priests are healers as well as spiritual leaders and aware that conventional psychology was inadequate for the African American in some cases, she wanted to examine that which had been lost, to them as a people during the slave experience, so as to re-integrate these things for the spiritual and psychological healing of African Americans today. "However, what I found was that since all of humankind was born of spirits and originated from the continent of Africa, vodun, which means "spirit" in the Fon language, is universal to all of humankind in its spiritual and psychological benefits."
Mami's professional background comes from the two fields of Education and Psychoanalysis. While she returns to Africa periodically, most of her time has been spent in America teaching about the African spirituality of vodun from an insider's perspective and assisting those who wish to serve the spirits on their spiritual journeys. She is part of one of the largest Mami Wata Dan temples on the West Coast of Africa…Temple Behumbeza…(Cotonou) Benin, West Africa.

Black Whalers, with genealogist Earl Depass!
Whaling: Opportunities for African Americans Four Whalers of African Descent The whaling industry, created several black abolitionists, entrepreneurs & philanthropists! Whaling Centered until the 1870s in New Bedford, employed a large number of African Americans. This was in part due to the Quaker tradition of tolerance in the New Bedford area, but more importantly, to the large demand for manpower in an expanding industry requiring unusually large crews. Some black seamen in the business were Americans, from the Northeast and the South, some were from the West Indies, and a significant group was from the Cape Verde Islands off the African coast. Whatever their origin, black seamen found acceptance as hard workers and skilled mariners in an industry that was physically demanding, dirty, and often financially unrewarding. When the center of the industry moved to San Francisco in the 1870s, African Americans continued to form a large percentage of the crews. The whaling business was no doubt the largest employer of African Americans seamen on the West Coast until it ended shortly before World War I.

How to Make a Negro Christian--book analysis (rescheduled from last week's cancellation)
in Culture
In 2006, I authored a book called How to Make a Negro Christian. It exposed the life's work
of one Dr. Reverend Charles Colcock Jones. He gave a sermon and authored a book in the mid-1800's called The Religious Instruction of the Negroes. While he didn't live to see the fruits of his labor, this "Apostle of the Blacks" created the template that ALL future enslaved Afrikan owners would use to transform once mighty Afrikans into the grovelling christians we are today. This book discussion will serve to correct the record that we came over here as christians en masse...actually only until the early 1900's (gregorian calendar) did the Afrikan masses embrace this foreign, spiritually incarcerating doctrine. This will be a lively analysis and may spawn multiple parts.

Depending on your definition of high traffic, it is likely that you will see awful performance. If there is any transactional writes that happen often, you'll cap out the max database size rather quickly, and as mentioned above there are many hardware restrictions on express. Not to mention you don't have all the creature comforts for a professional enterprise instance (SQL Agent, etc.).
SQL Server express is more for embedded applications, or very small low-budget intranet applications.

If your A3 is only overheating in traffic it's due to the radiator fans not coming on asthe thermo switch at the radiator id defective. We've seen a few of these. Feel free to give me a call at 415-241-8178 and we will look at it for you at N/C. Take care, Mike

"Grumpier Old Men" takes us back to Wabasha, Minn., which I think of as Grumpyville because most of the residents appear to be grumpy old men, just as most of the residents of Mickeyville are mice. The two leading local grumps are John and Max (Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau), who are neighbors in houses so close that when the blinds are up (as they usually are), they can not only eavesdrop on each other but also even videotape what's happening next door.
One of the peculiarities of their neighborhood in Grumpyville is that beautiful, sex-starved women are constantly moving in. In "Grumpy Old Men" (1993), Ann-Margret became their new neighbor. She apparently was unable to find any eligible bachelors in the entire town (or state), except for Matthau and Lemmon, and ended up, as you will recall, marrying Lemmon.
Matthau remains a bachelor, morose and peppy, still going fishing every day, but boy, is his luck about to change: Sophia Loren moves into the neighborhood. She's opening an Italian ristorante in the building formerly occupied by Chuck's Bait Shop, and the grumps don't like that, because her customers will scare away the fish. So they play a series of tricks on her, like sticking up detour signs so her customers will get lost and surrounding her parking lot with those yellow streamers that say "Police Line - Do Not Cross." The movie's subplots involve Daryl Hannah as Melanie, John's daughter, and Kevin Pollak as Jacob, Max's son. They got engaged in the previous picture and now the Grumps are planning their wedding and reception, which will mostly take place, it appears, in saloons and bait shops.
Also on hand is 95-year-old Grandpa Gustafson (Burgess Meredith, at 87), who seems to live forever on his strict regime: bacon for breakfast, bacon sandwiches for lunch and drinking his dinner.
Meredith, as a randy old coot, has some of the movie's best lines; he more or less singlehandedly accounts for the "salty language" that wins the movie a PG-13 rating. But the film basically belongs to Matthau and Lemmon, who have worked together so often that they fall easily into a rhythm of insult and affection.
Ann Margret seems to have fallen easily into the married life, which mostly consists of pecking her husband on the cheek before he heads off to fish. And the young people go through a perfunctory spat, more or less for plot purposes.
This is, of course, a big-screen sitcom, and in fact I would love to see this material transplanted to the TV screen, where it belongs.
John and Max are next-door neighbors in the tradition of the Ricardos and the Mertzes, living in each other's pockets and discussing every decision, no matter how intimate. The addition of the visiting sex bombs resembles the way sitcoms use guest stars. And no misunderstanding is so big it can't be cleared up with a joke, or a kiss.
"Grumpier Old Men" is not terrifically compelling, although it is probably impossible not to enjoy Matthau and Lemmon acting together.
It feels like what it really should be, a sitcom pilot. By the end of the film, both of the Grumps have gotten married, so I guess there won't be another sequel, unless something tragic happens to one of the wives, or one of the Grumps starts fooling around. Hey, look - there, across the street! Isn't that Joan Collins moving in?
This movie is trying to kill these women, but they endure.

All-Time Rows: Introduction | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | Social Pioneers
Well, we told you statistics didn't mean everything in our selections. So in our second row, the most charismatic crowd-pleaser ever at Indy gets the nod to start inside two four-time winners. Now you may really be scratching your head about our front row.
4. Mario Andretti
Indy 500 starts: 29
Best finish (year): First (1969)
Laps led: 556
It was the most black-humored riddle to circulate down through the decades at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
"You know what the most famous, most repeated words here are?"
"Why, 'Gentlemen, start your engines,' of course."
"No. They are" -- and here the jokester would try to imitate the thundering bass voice of legendary track announcer Tom Carnegie -- "And Mario is slowing D-O-W-W-W-N."
It was damn near true. Mario Andretti's bad luck is part of the fabric of Indy lore. He had only his 1969 win to show for leading more laps, 556, than four-time winner A.J. Foyt, 555.
And yet no one embodied the mystique, the charisma, the color of Indy more than the Italian immigrant who sailed with his family past the Statue of Liberty in 1955 and went on to thoroughly embody the American dream.
Where fans and media alike flat-out feared Foyt, they gravitated freely toward Andretti, in droves, and were always treated wonderfully by him. Day in, day out in the month of May, he commanded more attention and affection than Al Unser or Rick Mears, though both of them would go on to be four-time winners.
Spanning Indy and Formula One, Andretti was always a singular voice for returning the 500 to its one-time status as the Olympus of world motor racing by working with F1 and the Grand Prix of Monaco to stop the two great races from conflicting in May. He never got it to happen, but he did his best.
Meanwhile, he became the only driver every to win Indy, the Daytona 500 (1967) and the Formula One world championship (1978). Many consider him the most versatile driver of all time.
Here is an indelible snapshot of a quintessential Mario Moment at Indy. In 1975, he had to miss the first weekend of qualifying to race in Monaco, but returned for the second weekend to make the field.
At one point, as he walked through Gasoline Alley, a swarm of camera crews fell in behind him, and print media reporters joined the frantic pursuit. As he walked, he kept looking over his shoulder, seeming somewhat bewildered.
He kept walking, we kept following, figuring he was heading someplace important, and he kept looking over his shoulder. Finally he made his turn, and walked through a door marked "men."
We all came to a screeching halt, and half the mechanics in the garage area busted out laughing. But such was the mystique of Mario Andretti.
5. Rick Mears
Indy 500 starts: 15
Best finish (years): First (1979, '84, '88, '91)
Laps led: 429
Above all other Indy drivers, Rick Mears knew when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em -- in every 500 he ran, and in his career.
He got his fourth win quicker, in only his 14th start, than A.J. Foyt (17th start) or Al Unser (18th). Mears' last one came in 1991, and a year later he read the warning signs just right and retired at age 40.
Mears was a cool, calculating scientist at 230 mph. He broke the 500 into distinct segments. He wasn't interested in leading early, just feeling out the car thoroughly, sensing everything it needed. In the middle portions he worked via radio with his team and owner Roger Penske to get the car just right. Only then was it time to go all-out.
In '92, after one of the most horrific-looking non-fatal crashes ever at Indy -- his car skidded upside down on its roll bar, disintegrating along the backstretch -- he was standing in the infield hospital finishing up his exam. He turned and saw wife, Chris, crying. For some reason, "I just started laughing," he said that weekend. That had been his fearless approach to racing, but he understood his wife's horror.
Mears wrecked out of the crash-filled 500 of '92, but walked away. Mario Andretti and his younger son Jeff had suffered terrible foot and leg injuries that day. Mears knew when to quit, and at the end of that season astounded the open-wheel world by announcing his retirement.
6. Al Unser
Indy 500 starts: 27
Best finish (years): First (1970, '71, '78, '87)
Laps led: 644
The Unser family had the perfect nickname for Big Al. "Dry Ice," they called him. "So cool he burns."
With his stony, almost stoic countenance and his trademark reticence, he became Indy's second four-time winner in a far lower key than the first one, the fiery A.J. Foyt.
Not until fully five years after his fourth win in 1987, on the occasion of the first 500 win by his son, "Little Al," in 1992, did Al Sr. spill out all his passion for the race, the place and his family's role there.
"To love something as much as I love racing," Big Al said, beginning to choke up, "and to win at this place and then to have your son come along and win here" -- and now he really broke down -- "is the greatest feeling there is."
Never has a man's sheer tone contained more passion, more joy, more sheer reverence for the Indy 500, more family tradition, in so few words, than Big Al's "greatest feeling there is."

Bollywood/Hollywood is a 2002 film by Indo-Canadian director Deepa Mehta. Its stars Rahul Khanna and Lisa Ray in leading roles. The film was lighthearted, humorous, and family-oriented, as opposed to Mehta's other films (most notably her Elements trilogy of Fire, Earth, and Water), which feature very serious themes and focus on social issues. The film pokes fun at traditional Indian stereotypes, as well as at Bollywood (it features several Bollywood-style song-and-dance numbers). Bollywood actor Akshaye Khanna (the brother of Rahul Khanna) makes a special guest appearance in the movie. Wikipedia

DiDio & Lee Says DC Will Take the Time to Do "Watchmen"/Rebirth Story 'Right'
Comic Books
The midseason premiere of The Waking Dead was so loud and so realistic that one Montana family drew unwanted attention — not from walkers, but from the police.
The Great Falls Police Department responded to a 911 call Sunday evening from a neighbor who heard "screaming from a house about someone having a gun." A second caller helped the seven responding officers pinpoint the house, which they promptly surrounded, some with weapons drawn.
RELATED: Man Allegedly Kills "Zombie" Friend, Blames "The Walking Dead"
According to the Great falls Tribune, notes from the call indicate officers heard "loud talking" coming from inside the home, and saw "flashing lights." Police peeked inside, where they saw two adults and several children … watching The Walking Dead. (Well, the notes refer to it as "a show about firearms," but the cops later identified it as the hit AMC drama.)
No action was taken, although one would hope officers suggested the family turn down the TV just a smidgen, for their neighbors' sake. At the very least, one of the cops should've shouted "Coral!"
Can we arrest the neighbors for being stupid?
@JP: If only.
Since this is now in season *** 6 ***, one would think that the neighbors should have known that this family watches TWD every Sunday.
If this was season 1, then it would be understandable.

Enjoyable Senior Living Experience near Columbus
Brookdale Lakeview Crossing is a senior living community that offers two personalized lifestyle options — Assisted Living and Memory Care. Nestled between businesses and residences, we are located only minutes from Ohio's capital city, making us far enough away to be out of the bustle and noise yet close enough for convenience.
Life at Brookdale Lakeview Crossing
Located in a quiet neighborhood, our bright and cheery community features scenic views from every window in our building. Our community provides 130 apartments for both Assisted Living and Memory Care Neighborhood. We have three apartment style choices, making it perfect for individuals, couples and companions.

We also have lots of fun entertainment at the community as well such as happy hour every Friday, card games, bingo, Senior Prom, and many more.
Quality Care for Seniors
Our staff plays a huge role in successfully delivering quality Assisted Living and Memory Care to seniors. We are very selective about the individuals who join our staff, and we train them on the proper way to address the social, mental, physical, and cultural needs of our residents.
Our Assisted Living Community
Residents at our assisted living community are able to maintain their independence while receiving a little help with certain daily tasks. Just like family, we provide the extra assistance our residents may need with bathing, dressing and medications, while respecting their privacy. We work with each community member to create a personalized plan, specific to their needs. This process allows us to not only deliver quality service and care, but service fees based on need.
Our Memory Care Community
Our memory care community provides specialized care to seniors with Alzheimer's or dementia. We understand that maintaining familiar daily routines is important for our residents. Physical and behavioral needs, as well as life history, play integral roles in our custom care plans. Each resident receives an individualized service plan designed to meet their unique needs, while adding meaning to their day.
Learn More About Our Community
We pay attention to the details at Brookdale Lakeview Crossing, and we will go the extra mile for you. We'd love to tell your more about our community, please give us a call today.
Levels of Care
When you become a resident at Brookdale Lakeview Crossing, you'll be enjoying the best kind of Assisted Living and Memory Care — the kind of care that's based on delivering quality service, through customized plans that are tailored to each resident, and with respect and kindness towards seniors.
Assisted Living Tailored to You
Our Assisted Living community can offer help if you need assistance with daily activities such as bathing, dressing and administering needed medication.

Our skilled and trained staff does more than just provide you with the right kind of assistance to live a healthy and safe lifestyle. We can offer care plans that are customized to you.
It all starts with a Personal Service Assessment. With each of our residents, we sit down and listen to their needs. We don't try to force a care plan on you. Instead, we work with you to figure out the level of assistance you feel comfortable with. Our support is based on only what you need, so you don't end up paying for a ton of extra services.
We strive to provide an individualized experience for each of our residents. It's evident in the customized plans that we offer, but it's also apparent in the atmosphere we provide for our seniors. We learn details about our residents — from their favorite snack and recipe to a lifelong passion — and use that to provide a truly individualized living experience.
Person- Centered Memory Care
When you or your loved one joins our Memory Care community, you'll be given the strongest kind of support, security and life-enriching programs. We create an environment that allows you to feel safe while enjoying meaningful experiences every day.
We have a state-of-the-art approach to Alzheimer's and Dementia care, which has been perfected throughout the years. This approach is based on the Clare Bridge concept that utilizes the latest research and innovations to deliver quality Memory Care to seniors. We focus on caring for the individual — working to encourage feelings of belonging, a sense of self, purpose and fulfillment.
After undergoing specific training, our staff gently assists residents with daily programs that are designed to maintain a resident's abilities and encourage the use of their current skills.

I recently returned from a trip to visit rural villages in Angola to look at the impact that Unicef's sanitation partnership with Andrex is having on children and families there. It's incredible to think that seven out of ten people living in rural Angola do not have a clean, safe toilet to use. This has a huge impact on the health of Angola's children and one of the reasons the country has the highest rate of child mortality in the world.
Scouts in Madagascar are delivering menstrual hygiene education and helping dispel the mystery and myths that surround periods. They also campaign for clean water and toilets for all. This is a huge issue. More than one billion women have no access to a private toilet, making it difficult to manage their periods hygienically.
A key message of the Global Nutrition Report is that ending malnutrition is a political choice that is achievable, but only with an increase in effective funding and infrastructure and much more efficient coordination across relevant sectors. This is true for malnutrition, for access to water, sanitation and hygiene, and for eradicating extreme poverty.
Taps and toilets, things we so easily take for granted, really do transform lives. I'm so proud that Scouts in the UK have chosen to take action on this important issue. In just one week, we learned so much about how we can join together with our Scout family in Madagascar, and across the world, to help get clean water and toilets for everyone, everywhere.
We need to get different sectors talking. Climate change and water are intertwined and we need to speak each other's language when it comes to planning and funding adaptation efforts. We can no longer have countries develop water policies that don't include climate risks, nor can climate planners operate without consulting key water ministries.
Since we marked the first UN-declared World Water Day in 1993, the world has made incredible progress. Yet there remain more than 650million people in the world without access to clean water, who are faced with a daily struggle involving long dangerous walks or expensive black-market vendors, just to get water that is likely neither clean nor safe to drink.
Today is World Water Day and this morning over 650million people around the world woke up with no clean water. That's one in ten people. Forced to drink, cook and wash with dirty water, people are at risk of getting sick and missing vital days of work and education, trapped in a cycle of poverty. Last month WaterAid invited me to travel to India with my 12-year-old daughter Glenys to see the situation for myself. I visited Sanabenakudi, a remote village in east India, to understand what everyday life is like for people living without access to safe water...
We'd like to do a lot more to beat this crisis but we also want to stop future generations being devastated by drought. Around 70% of Africa's people depend on smallholder agriculture for a living and they produce the bulk of the continent's food. We have to find a way to help them survive major crisis - come rain or shine.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The commander of U.S. forces in Iraq says there has been a dramatic decline in the number of foreign fighters entering northern Iraq from neighboring Syria.
Army Maj. Gen. David Perkins told reporters at the Pentagon that he has seen no clear evidence that the drop is connected to a six-month-old anti-government uprising in Syria. Speaking via a video feed from his base in Takrit, Perkins said Iraqi security forces have gotten better at border protection.
Perkins also said that most of the 5,000 U.S. troops based in northern Iraq will be gone by the end of October. He described the al-Qaida in Iraq network as greatly weakened but still capable of violence. He said there are signs the group is suffering from severe internal divisions over money.

What does it mean to be an extreme caregiver to your child? Well in my case it has meant gaining 35 pounds, becoming too exhausted and injured to maintain a lifetime regimen of exercising and that I started smoking. Smokers, of course get no sympathy. I grew up in a household where both parents were heavy smokers but I didn't start until I was 46 years old. That probably means something, but I'm not certain what. Extreme caregiving meant that my expression of creativity, writing, was put on hold for over 15 years, until it exploded from my unconscious with blogging about my son and life with him in 2010 and then publishing poetry in June 2013. After fifteen years of carrying my son and his wheelchair up two flights of chairs, my back was finished and now it's difficult to even lean over my son and perform the physiotherapy which has helped him to survive.
It has meant that, despite best intentions, planning and tremendous effort, my other two children's needs were not met. This sounds as though my life has no balance, and it may well be true. But balance in life has a lot to do with your own perception. Balance is, by definition, never static. It is a balancing 'act'. And as such there have been tremendous swings of the pendulum, more extreme motion than most encounter. Pain and suffering, even death, has a way of doing that. Stoicism is great, if it comes to you naturally but I am an emotional guy, prone to outbursts of joy and sadness, love and frustration. I fight against the swinging of the pendulum, often with success. Sheer will can carry you a long way towards your goals. When the goal is to create a life-environment where happiness coincides with an unflinching look at reality for your children, motivation never seemed lacking.
We go through changes with age, no doubt, often under the influence of our interactions but mostly due to our reactions that stem from who we are. Some don't need change or are impervious to it. We all like to think that we are constantly learning. Only, the accumulation of information today is so overwhelming that it passes for change. When you are challenged to the extreme by your life-circumstances there exists the possibility that it won't change you at all. At least not on a conscious level. What I have seen is that change is never what you expect it to be, if you are open to it. Sometimes we actually retreat to a safe place, a known reaction, but that is not an authentic one. I believe it is only when you are surprised by yourself, when you are taken down a road that is unfamiliar to your psyche, that true change is happening.
Someone who was very close to me more than once said, "Where is the Eric that I used to know and fell in love with?" I'm here, I would say. The circumstances of my life have not made me a different person but it has, through its extreme nature, sharpened certain parts of me, uncovered parts through the process of erosion, that even I could not know existed. Life is full of changing experiences, some short, some long. Often we resist change and, as I said, we retreat to reactions that are meant to keep us safe, away from becoming something we don't really trust, but all that really is, is fear of the unknown.
What we know, is safe, comfortable even. What we don't know catches us off guard and can send us reeling like a drunk through the streets. When my mother lay dying and I left her for the last time that's what literally happened to me. I wasn't capable of walking in a straight line, I was punch-drunk from an overwhelming degree of every emotion possible, happening at the same exact instant. I clung to a wall so as not to fall down, and later wrote:
The end
Clutching the wall,
as all hope leaves me,
not to tumble onto the street,
but trembling,
onto my knees.
Where wet cobblestones frame my anguish,
my deliberate crime of absence,
with just punishment,
that relishes not only love
but rather carelessly,
There is a sense of quasi-hope in that last line. Life is fickle, not fair by any stretch of the imagination. If you have religion you possess a ready-made framework that helps you to deal with the unimaginable. You still struggle, of course, but from my personal view you need to learn what your framework really consists of and see how it isn't adjusting to these traumatic experiences, to move forward. If I am grateful for hardships it is lies in the fact that it brings you to the boundaries of who you are, you see yourself, no longer through a 'mirror darkly'. Moments of clarity arise which can be seen as religious epiphanies, without the religious framework, but often with an expression of religious language, because those phrases are beautiful poetry and thus, timeless truths.
When you go beyond your boundaries you, 'lose it'. And I am no stranger to those experiences. Some get back on track, find the path again and maintain composure. Others wander off into the wilderness, never to be seen again. G. Jurgensen, author of 'The disappearance', a haunting book wherein she shares the loss of her two daughters, wrote of me, "His way is more that of an explorer than of pioneer. For reading his poems conveys the feeling that he is driven by the discovery itself…" I'm not happy with such a description. I would rather be a yes-man. The one who follows orders, is told what to do. But my experience in caring for my son taught me that there are areas wherein you must act as an explorer, covering new ground because, quite simply, no one is there to lead you, to tell you how to behave or even how to approach an obstacle. Your child's life hangs in the balance, but at the same time you are carrying him with you, piggyback, through treacherous terrain. Terrain that you are not a qualified guide for. It comes down to an experience of raw survival. I didn't know this going in. I thought, with my own meagre medical training, the professionals will know what to do. We'll figure this out. Things will be OK. So, let's start! Let's start looking for solutions. A friend once told me, "Yes, that's the problem with men, they can't accept the notion that they can't solve a problem." Sure, if you get stuck in that place of frustration, the feeling of helplessness that comes with not moving toward resolution, then you won't be able to deal with the real issue at hand. But the solution is easy. You do accept that you can't solve the problem, in the way that you are trying to solve it. But a solution exists, a way to help exists.
When I visited my mother on her deathbed in Holland, my brother was also there. He saw me do what I do best; little adjustments to her position, pressing on areas to alleviate pain, spraying moisture into her parched mouth, supporting her chin so she could breath more deeply and paying attention to oxygen levels. All little things which came naturally. He felt bad about not being able to do anything, just standing there. So I told him that he is being there, with his mother. For a brief moment, until she lapsed into unconsciousness, until her light finally went out, she was able to acknowledge his presence, as she had done with me the night previous. That was enough. The connection had been made and it was enough. We are never doing nothing, it's just that the fear of not being effective in a situation, such as I experience daily with my son, can be overwhelming. A whirlwind of doubt is raised as we feel incapacitated by our emotions.
For some it comes naturally, for others with experience, that we can find in those moments a degree of focus, slowly shining its light from what I call, a 'well of intent'. And all of this is possible if we can listen to the voice that our hearts sing continuously in the background. When we let go of fear, by delving deep into ourselves, we can hear that soft singing. The clutter of distractions that infest our minds, the dead-end paths that we let our minds go down knowing, knowing that it leads us nowhere useful, take us from the grace of our own hearts.
None of this lessens the knot I feel in my stomach each and every time my son is suffering; after eighteen years it has not relinquished even a little bit of its bitter sting. I believe there is balance to be found though, in the smiles that can be brought to his face, merely by being present, because he has understood with experience, that the intent is there. That all the effort has created a bond, which always existed, in its entirety, in full force, from the very beginning and which time has allowed to mature, to express, to go out into the dense unknown forest and finally return to its natural home, our hearts.

Will continue to be a stud on special teams. Additionally, Debose found his rhythm as a WR in 2011 accumulating over 400 receiving yards.

I bought this crossbow from Walmart back in May2013.Practiced on it until October 12 2013. I went Deer Hunting in North Texas on October 14 2013 , 1st shot was right on the money, exactly on where I placed the 30 yard dot. Used a Bushnell Range finder,and a Luminoc,on a Barnett Head Hunter 22" arrow with a Barnett Extreme 1 1/4 " expanding mechanical Broad head, and got a clean pass through at 30 yards. Deer ran about 25 yards and piled up with no problems. This is an extremely powerful cross bow, the deer didn't even jump until the arrow had already passed through. My 1st shot, on my 1st Deer, on my 1st hunt, with my 1st cross bow. Yea it is number 1 with me.
The quad 400 is avertised with 20'' inch bolts but it actully need 22'' inch bolts and it should be correct on the web site. look at barnett for specs
The bow was sent back it came with broke arrow and a crack in stock near safety. I to Bass Pro Shop and got a good crossbow.
Excellent product my Husband loved, loved it
I really like the bow. The red dot scope doesn't work ... some settings do nothing. I contacted Barnett for a replacement scope. A minor annoyance was the but plates popping off when they got cold. I'm sure I can remedy that. Over all, a great bow and a good value.
Got this bow for a back up that would be close to my ten point. All I can say is wow! This bow hits like freight train,very good for the money, 5 shots of fine tuning the scope and took it hunting last year,first shot wit a game crusher head strapped to a 22" headhunter bolt,blew right threw a 175 pound 7 point buck with a big pop!! right on the money@32yards,he didn't jump the string till the bolt passed threw,I was amazed cause I thought it was a bit loud but at 32 yards speed wins....and I've got a killer bow that's to big to share with the kids! Looks like we have to shop for a jackal now
The only negative I have is the red dot sight. The one that shipped with the bow was defective, I called Barnett and they were quick to send me a replacement. Unfortunately, the replacement was also defective, the red dots appear more like star burst * then we'll defined dots. I'm not certain, I'm going to get a friend to look at them, before I return them both,
But I'm pretty sure they are not right. If so, then I don't like them at all...
Shipping was fast (they delivered it to my front door & it was the retail box for all to see)???
You'd think someone would at least wrap it in brown paper/ It would have been an invitation to be stolen if my maid had not brought it in the house. How stupid is that?
Easy to assemble, looks great but have not strung it yet.
I believe it'll be great for hogs. The packaging & wordings were misleading & totally incorrect in some cases. You spend $400.00 & "WHAM, A TRUCK T-BONES YOU & YOU ARE LEFT TO CLEAN UP THE MESS!!!
i BOUGHT THE 20" BOLTS AS DESCRIBED ON THE PACKAGING,, wrong, IT REQUIRES 22" BOLTS. ALSO the package shows the 4x32 scope but it came w/ a red dot scope.
The assembly was very easy. I had it assembled in about 10-15 minutes after taking it out of the box. Shot 3 arrows at 20 meter target. It was shooting about 6 inches to right, made the scope corrections which brought it to center with 3 arrows in a 2 inch group. If you purchase this, buy either the cocking rope or the cocking crank. Now waiting for bow season to open. Good hunting.
The Barnett Quad 400 is a remarkable hunting tool, I own two of them...
I made each purchase initially because of the specs and I must say that, I am greatly pleased by the results of their long range and speed.
I have also purchased the aluminum cranck cocking device for stress-free loading.
The red dot scope is a feature that I would have liked on my first bow.
The only regret that I have is that, the detatchable quiver on the red-dot bow is slightly off-set, I have a little disappointment about that matter concering the lack of perscion in the crafting of the quiver.
Over-all, I am well pleased with my purchases...
Cable broke on the 5th shot! This was my first purchase of a Crossbow. Makes me nervous about getting another?????????????
Heavy and a little loud but very fast. A good beginner crossbow. Shoots incredibly hard. Shoots to 50 yds
Great and powerful crossbow for the money. Very accurate at 30 yards right out of the box. Just needed some fine tuning. Assembly was straight forward. Wish crossbow would have came with thumb guard, you can make a custom one cheap just google crossbow thumb guard. Some cheap insurance so you dont lose your thumb. Arrows that come with crossbow are 22" headhunter carbon arrows. Scope is red/green dot 3 different light intensities for each color.
Powerful, Accurate, cocking rope or pulley is a major plus...all in all a great but!

This episode marks one of 2 rare occasions on The Monkees where one of the boys mutters the word "sex"!
When Daggart rips off the bottom half of one of the mother's dresses, he is still holding the dress in his hands when he apologizes. When the mother starts hitting him with her purse, he is no longer holding on to it.
When Davy is playing with the yo-yo, the other children walk up to him twice, one far away shot and one close up shot.
"Monkee Versus Machine's" original ending was the landlord phoning The Monkees for the rent and being upset about Peter's sending him a bunch of toys instead of money.
When Mike is tying Peter's tie, the close up of Peter shows that he hasn't started yet, but in the long shot the tie is already half way tied.
The lights on the DJ-61 are not consistent from shot to shot.
When Peter finds out that they put an ad in the paper just to reach him, his head changes position from the close up shot to the long shot.
The street that The Monkees house was on, Beachwood, was actually the name of the street that went through the middle of Screen Gems studio.
When Micky is trying to get Peter to leave he has his arm around his shoulders. However, in the close up shot where Peter slips up, Micky's arm in no longer there, but in the next shot it is back again.
When Micky is sitting there watching his "son" Peter play with some of the toys, his hands are on the table, but in the next shot he has them crossed.
The boy to Micky's left is scratching his head in one scene with his right hand. However, in the next shot his hands are both down and he is facing the front.
The little girl that is in the testing group with the boys, is watching the boys walk over to Davy while Daggart is trying to get them to play with the toys. However, in the close up shots she, along with the boys, is watching Davy play with the yo-yo.
At the beginning of Peter's interview, his suit jacket is buttoned, but when he gets up to leave it is no longer buttoned.
When Daggart rips off the bottom half of one of the mother's dresses, you can see Micky cover Peter's eyes in background.
When Daggart realizes that Micky and Peter are frauds, Micky's left hand is on Peter's shoulder, but in the next shot it is down at his side.
When Micky is watching Peter play with one of the toys, the toy Peter is playing with keeps changing postitions.
When Mike is standing next to Davy, dressed as Micky's mother, Mike's hands keep changing positions.
This is Robert Rafelson's first directed Monkee episode.
When Peter finds out that they put an ad in the paper just to reach him, no one is standing near him. However, when they cut to a long shot Micky and Mike are standing on either side of him.
When Mike answers the phone while Peter is playing chess, Peter's fingers keep changing postition as he listens to Mike on the phone.
The late Walter Janowitz (Pop Harper) is best remembered in CBS classic sitcom Hogan Heroes as the recurring character Oscar Schnitzer.
This episode has Mr. Schneider, their dummy who was named for their co-creator and co-producer Bert Schneider, making his first appearance.
When DJ-61, the interview machine, spits a stack of forms out at Mike, he brushes them off onto the floor, but after Daggart enters they are again in a neat stack on the machine.
The Barbie outfits you see on the shelf in the background of the office are Benefit Performance (on the left) and Magnificence (on the right). It looks like Ken's Goin' Hunting is on the bottom shelf.
When Davy is dressed as a mother, you can see Mike shoo him away. The same shot is seen twice- one up close and one in the distance.
Before the intro, Peter is walking toward the bottom right of the screen, after the intro Peter is walking toward the top left of the same shot.
J.B.: By George, anybody who wants to fire you is going to have to talk to me first! (pounds his fist on his desk)
Daggart: I want him fired!
J.B.: (timidly) I'm glad you talked to me first.
Daggart: Uh, excuse me, madam. Pardon me, madam.
Micky: (in a high pitch voice) Oh! I never speak to strangers. Oh! My husband is insanely jealous. Come on, Junior, we have to go now.
Daggart: I believe I've seen your son somewhere before.
Micky: Oh, no, no! Impossible! No, he's never permitted to cross the streets.
Daggart: He looks rather mature for ten.
Micky: No, no, no! Actually, he's just a little infant. Yes, I have to help him with his reading. Every morning before he goes to school I read to him. Come on…
Peter: While I'm shaving!
Daggart: (to Peter dressed as Davy's mother) Pardon me, madam. We're only accepting children between the ages of eight and eleven.
Peter: (in a high pitched voice) He is between the ages of eight and eleven...he's thirteen.
Daggart: Harper. Use to design all our toys. Totally useless. I'd fire him like that (snaps fingers), but J.B. promised him his job for life. What are you gonna do?
Mike: Oh, wow! You're all heart.
Mike: Hey, here's one. Says must have your own bicycle. Boy to deliver…pianos!
Davy: Hey, man, there's loads of jobs here. We can get work! Listen to this…Wanted! Keeper at city zoo. Apply meal time at the lion's cage. If the lion likes you the job's yours.
Mike: Plaster's falling down, plumbing don't work, we're two days late on the rent and he calls up grousing.
Computer: What is your name?
Mike: (pulls the chair up to the computer) What is yours?
Computer: What.
Mike: Thank you Mr. What. What's your first name?
Computer: It's not what.
Mike: Oh good, Mr. Not What. And what is your occupation?
Computer: It's not Not What. I'm computer DJ61.
Mike: Oh, you're a DJ, look I bet you have a great record collection? (computer starts smoking) Now tell me about your mother?
Computer: My mother was a duplicating machine.
Mike: Sex? (computer over heats) I bet you're a real swinger when you're turned on. (computer breaks down) You dirty old man.
Computer: I am not programmed for these questions.
Mike: Oh, you want a new program, why didn't you say?
(Mike punches keys rapidly, computer explodes).
Mike: Look, man, it's okay. Besides, you've got something that the machine don't have.
Peter: Mmm?
Mike: You've got friends.
Micky: Hey, you've got some friends, Pete? Bring 'em over someday!
Mike: All you gotta do is stay very cool. And remember these three little words: Don't argue.
Peter: That's two words.
Mike: You're starting already.
Micky: A toy factory needs unskilled help, in nonessential job requiring no training or no experience.
Mike: Hey, Peter, you don't have any training, and he sure doesn't have any experience. You're the only one qualified.
Micky: Probably the only one in the city with those qualifications. At least the only one that can read the ad.
Peter: Just think, they put an ad in the paper to reach me.
Mike: That's right.
Peter: Why didn't they phone?
Computer: Name, please.
Peter: bewildered What?
Computer: Thank you. Last name, What. And what is your first name, Mr. What?
Peter: It's not "What"!
Computer: Mr. Notwhat What.
Peter: Wait a minute! That's not my name at all! My name is …
Computer: And what is your occupation?
Peter: … "Peter"! You dig? Pete!
Computer: You dig peat. Occupation: peat digger.
Peter: shakes his head in despair
Computer: What is your mother's maiden name?
Peter: Thompson.
Computer: Sex?
Peter: Female, of course!
Computer: Alright, Mrs. Notwhat.
Peter: No, my mother is female!
Computer: What do you do in your spare time, Mrs. Notwhat?
Peter: desperate Listen, I'm a MAN!
Computer: In your spare time, you are a man.
Peter: No, no, that's not it at all. First of all, you've got my name wrong…
Computer: Name is misspelled. Please give correct letter.
Peter: Well, I …
Computer: Correct letter is "I." Name is not "Notwhat", but "Nitwit."
Peter: overwhelmed Oh, brother!
Computer: Brother is also a nitwit.
Peter: indignant Now just a minute…!
Computer: That will do, Nitwit. Test complete. Interview ended. Application rejected.
