If you’re looking for subpar customer service and less than adequate actual service, take your bow here to get it set up. I purchased a new bow and brought it here to get set up, peep installed, rest tuned and hopefully paper tuned and basically dialed in without any messing around on my end. What I got was a crooked peep that was justified by the employee because he installed the string loop legit sideways, so he said the loop would bring it straight. Epitome of lazy indifference towards the customer. He also installed my dropaway wrong, which, had I not asked to use the chronograph for the second time, would never have been discovered. Upon shooting thru the chrono, the felt on my rest was destroyed as well as the fletchings on my arrow.
You’d think considering that they had me “good to go” and then that happened that perhaps they’d offer new felt and or fletchings. Nope, not a word was said about it. All that being said, I generally do all of the work on my bows by myself, but I spent a good amount of money on this new bow and wanted to let a “professional” set it up as I’ve been very busy with overtime at work and have a few out of state hunts planned for this year and didn’t want to leave anything to chance. All said and done, a 5 year old with a smart phone, a bow press and a few YouTube videos could’ve done a better job, legitimately. I hadn’t gone to Jons for quite some time on account of them being arrogant and off putting years ago, but I’d heard good things recently so gave them another chance. They underwhelmed massively. To add, when I checked out, I asked what the damage was (knowing full well I’d have to redo all of it myself) and the employee flipping overcharges me, he says “peep, rest and kisser installed” I have never shot a kisser and never was it discussed, but in his indifferent mumbles I picked that up.
Kudos Jon’s, you employed idiot thieves (I know because they jokingly told me about how much merchandise they stole from you) that stole from you in 2005 and you apparently still employ exemplary people.

John Hammonds Survived Widow Maker Heart Attack
John Hammonds may be the last person you would expect to have a heart attack. Nearly 6 feet tall and a lean 165 pounds, the retired nuclear power plant operator and martial arts instructor stayed active riding his road bicycle, training German Shepherds, doing uphill wind sprints and keeping up with his grandchildren.
And yet, on Aug. 25, 2016, John suffered a serious heart attack, the kind doctors call “the widow maker”.
Thanks to St. Mary’s, he not only survived, he continues to thrive.
“Friends call and ask me how I feel and I say, ‘For somebody who’s supposed to be dead, I’m feeling pretty good.’ Maybe that’s a little morose, but I feel like I’ve earned it,” he says.
Active and Loving It
John has never been a couch potato. He went from the U.S. Navy into a 27-year career in nuclear power plant operations with The Southern Company. Working at Plant Edwin I. Hatch near Vidalia, Ga., he ran the nuclear facility’s engineering department, moved to operations, and then went into training. At the end of his career, he traveled as an on-loan crisis management educator with the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations and did some consulting.
During many of those years, he also taught marital arts and trained protection dogs. He let go of both in the 1990s to focus on family and his career, but hoped to resume dog training when he retired.
“Now I train dogs, raise bees, chase grandchildren, things like that,” the Bogart resident says. “I’m blessed to be able to do that.”
After stepping away from martial arts instruction, John fell into a low spot physically.
He didn’t like it, so when a friend in Vidalia invited him to join a bike ride, he did. On that first ride, his friend dropped him, the cycling term for leaving him behind.
“I’m not one to walk away from a challenge,” John says. “It wasn’t long before I dropped him. I was riding about 100 miles a week in Vidalia.”
In October 2012, an opportunity arose for John and his wife, Kristi, to move to the Athens area to be closer to their eldest daughter and her family. They settled in a beautiful home in Jackson County. But after moving, John’s miles on the bike declined. In 2016, even though Northeast Georgia was suffering through the hottest summer on record, he was determined to start rebuilding. On Aug. 25 he set off on a 15-mile ride. It was hot, but he felt okay.
When he got home, though, he didn’t cool down like normal, and as he walked up the hill to his house, he had a moment of dizziness and nausea. “That’s not right,” he thought, but it passed quickly.
He ran a few wind sprints up the hill in front of his home and felt better. He went inside, took a shower, and then drove with Kristi to a sporting goods store on the Atlanta Highway.
On the way there, his left arm began to hurt. In the parking lot, Kristi said, “You don’t look good.” He said he would be all right after he walked around a little. A few steps later, he gave her the keys. “Take me to the hospital,” he said, thinking he was suffering from heat stroke.
Increasingly alarmed, Kristi drove toward Athens. John was rapidly feeling worse. His arm hurt. His chest hurt. He broke out in a cold sweat and was squirming with discomfort. When they reached the Atlanta Highway sign for St. Mary’s, he told Kristi, “Take me there.”
It was a good choice. St. Mary’s is an accredited Chest Pain Center with PCI, the technical term for balloon angioplasty and stent implantation. Despite his deteriorating condition, he walked into the Emergency Department and began routine check-in.
But when he doubled over, he was rushed in for an emergency EKG. The readout was clear: heart attack.
John remembers being given aspirin and nitroglycerin. He also remembers Charles Neckman, MD, an interventional cardiologist with Oconee Heart and Vascular Center, asking him a lot of questions: What are your symptoms? When did they start? Do you have a family history of stroke or heart attack? Turns out, he did.
New Lease on Life
Within minutes of walking through St. Mary’s doors, John was in the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory. Under twilight anesthesia, he remembers watching the monitors as Dr. Neckman used the cath lab’s sophisticated technology to find a blocked blood vessel in John’s heart, reopen it, and implant a medicated stent.
“I could see where the blood vessel looked like it just stopped, and then blood started flowing again,” John recalls.
The procedure resolved a 100 percent blockage of John’s left anterior descending artery (LAD), which is the largest artery providing oxygen and nutrients to the muscle tissue that makes the heart contract, pumping blood.
It’s called the widow maker because a complete blockage in the LAD can result in death within minutes.
Blockages usually form slowly over time. As the affected spot in the blood vessel becomes narrower, blood flow slowly declines. Looking back, John remembers feeling just a little less energetic than usual in the weeks leading up to his heart attack. Eventually, the artery becomes so narrow that a clot forms and completely blocks the artery.
Fortunately, at the moment John’s LAD became fully blocked, he was already in St. Mary’s Emergency Department, minutes away from the cardiac catheterization procedure that would save his life.
Time Is of the Essence
“John’s experience shows us two things,” said Dr. Neckman. “John shows the life-saving importance of getting to a hospital fast when heart attack symptoms begin. John also demonstrates how being fit can make a difference in the body’s ability to keep functioning under extreme stress. If he hadn’t been in such good condition, I’m not sure he would have had such a good outcome.
”
John stayed at St. Mary’s for about four days to make sure it was safe for him to return home. Six weeks later, he came back for a nuclear stress test that showed no additional signs of coronary artery disease. While his heart has some scar tissue from his heart attack, it is still strong. In late November, Dr. Neckman gave him unrestricted clearance to return to cycling, running, dog training and chasing his grandchildren.
“Had I not gotten to St. Mary’s emergency room and had Dr. Neckman not put in that stent in time, I wouldn’t be talking to you,” he says. “St. Mary’s saved my life.”

The Cure, Black Sabbath & Elton John: Reddit Users Pick Best
Long Tracks A Reddit user with the nickname u / BareassedM decided to find out which tracks more than 7 minutes long people listen to entirely without switching.
The topic quickly went viral and garnered 6,000 comments in less than a day.
We have selected 10 songs with the most user votes. The sample of Reddit users turned out to be rather conservative and consisting of classics of English-language music of the 20th century – but there are also surprises.
Pink Floyd “Shine on You Crazy Diamond”
One of the longest tracks in the Pink Floyd catalog – the original song is 26 minutes long and consists of nine parts divided into two tracks.Regularly included in the lists of the best songs of all time. The members recorded it in honor of Syd Barrett, who left the band due to drug problems.
Dire Straits “Telegraph Road”
A classic of British rock, but in fact – a cross between blues, rock ‘n’ roll and country. “The final solo is something from the category of legends”, “Interesting thing: I just found out that the song was named after the road I drive every day. I ride from my area to downtown Detroit, ”users write.
Black Sabbath “War Pigs”
Ozzy Osbourne and teammates protest against the Vietnam War. Commentators rightly point out that the timing of more than 7 minutes is not felt at all. Among the tips in the thread is to listen to a cover performed by prominent 1990s metal band Faith No More.
King Crimson “The Court of the Crimson King”
90,038 Songs well over 7 minutes long were commonplace for psychedelic and experimental rock bands of the 1960s and 1970s.This is one example. “The whole album is a masterpiece,” the user says, referring to the record, which is almost identical to the name of this track: “In the Court of the Crimson King”.Something Corporate “Konstantine”
An unobvious number that is closer to pop music than to conservative guitar rock. “It reflects the notion of a drunken love ballad to the utmost,” one of the commentators shares his feelings. The replica of another user, who said that it was a krinzh, went into a deep minus in the vote.
Elton John “Funeral for a Friend / Love Lies Bleeding”
“She will play at my funeral,” writes one commentator. Elton John himself wrote this track when he was thinking that he could play at his funeral.
The Cure “Pictures of You”
“When you cry, it seems like it lasts about 2 minutes,” writes a panelist.
Creedence Clearwater Revival “Heard It Through the Grapevine”
“In the early 1990s, my friend and I were traveling.Suddenly [on the radio] this song started playing – and played for 6 hours in a row, it was simply put on repeat. Perhaps she played longer, but the station stopped catching. ”
The Beatles “Hey Jude!”
One of the users sneers that out of 8 minutes six takes “na-na-na-na”, which, of course, is not the case. But because of the lightness of the track, it’s really hard to believe it’s that long.
Rush “2112”
The top ten is closed by another multi-part composition, half of the whole album.
Its authors are Canadian pro-rockers Rush, who, like other colleagues in the workshop, experimented with complex conceptual formats. “Did you write a song so long that in the end you realized that you were influenced by you?” One of the users scoffs.
The life of the richest man in modern history: Jeff Bezos and his habits :: Heroes :: RBC Style
The nerdy computer and electrical engineer, as Bezos himself calls himself, could have worked on Wall Street, but traded that future for the precarious prospects of an internet startup.In 1995, the Amazon online bookstore appeared, which grew into an empire and now sells and delivers not only books, but also any goods – from shoes to household appliances. Without the existence of Amazon, no American can imagine life.
The whole world is discussing the billions of dollars that Bezos earned by the age of 54.

Jeff Bezos is nowhere near as noisy as Elon Musk, and is not at all like his main competitor in the Forbes 400 rating – the intelligent to the bone Bill Gates.The head of Amazon was not caught on hooliganism, his sense of humor is peculiar, his lifestyle can be called exemplary in the meaning of “quiet”, but not devoid of excesses. Bezos has five mansions in the United States and the status of the 25th largest landowner in the country.
Life and customs
The richest man in history believes in good sleep.
Every morning he wakes up without the aid of an alarm clock. His day begins by preparing a “healthy” breakfast for his wife, writer Mackenzie Bezos.
Jeff Bezos and Mackenzie Bezos

By the way, they’ve been married for 24 years.Before meeting Mackenzie, Bezos tried to establish his personal life more than once and even went on blind dates. However, all attempts did not bring the desired result: Bezos wanted to find not just a partner in marriage, but an inspirer. “I needed a woman who could get me out of a prison of imperfection (literally -“ out of a Third World prison ”), help with ideas and bring them to life,” the businessman admitted.
He completely devotes the morning time to his family, wife and four children.
After observing this ritual, Bezos gives himself up to work.
The Rule of Two Pizzas
Bezos doesn’t do well at board meetings or meetings with investors, so he tries to keep such events to a minimum, reducing their number to six hours a year. He organizes meetings according to the “rule of two pizzas” – if the group of gathered people does not have enough people to fill this dish in the amount of two pieces, the meeting will not take place.
“If you can’t feed the team with two pizzas, then there are too many people,” Bezos explained.
Gastronomic Quirks
The billionaire has unusual eating habits. It’s not about white wine oysters, or lobsters, or even molecular cuisine. One day, while meeting with the founder of the Dallas online store Woot, Matt Rutledge, he ordered himself a “super breakfast.” Bezos was brought an octopus with potatoes, bacon, green garlic yogurt and eggs.
“When I look at the menu, I want to choose something that I have never tried,” the businessman explained.”For example, I’ve never had an octopus for breakfast.”
Another ritual inextricably linked with nutrition is washing dishes after dinner. Bezos never allows himself to miss this ceremony: “I’m pretty sure this is the sexiest thing I’ve ever done.”

Amazon is now engaged in not only sales with delivery, but also the creation of entertainment content – the studio has already released the series “The Man in the High Castle” and “Obvious”, and also began work on the series on the universe of “The Lord of the Rings”.Bezos himself is a fan of the Star Trek franchise, one of a large army of so-called Trekkie. In 2016, the head of the largest Internet company even starred in the next part of the restart of the Star Trek franchise. Infinity”.
True, you can’t recognize him in makeup.
Space Hobbies
In addition to worshiping Star Trek, Bezos has another passion related to the infinity of space.
He searches for sunken parts of NASA rockets in the depths of the ocean in submarines and often takes his children with him on these adventures.
In addition, Bezos seeks to contribute to the development of the space industry and lead humanity to distant worlds. He owns the aerospace company Blue Origin, which he formed in 2000 to develop space tourism. Its successes are not as loudly discussed as that of Elon Musk’s SpaceX, which is unfair. The New Shepard 2 rocket was tested in 2016, making suborbital flights and landings, the reusable New Shepard 3 system proved to be operational in 2017 and 2018.Under Bezos’s direction, Blue Origin is planning a lunar landing in 2020. “Space is the final frontier. See you there, ”he once said, turning the Star Trek motto into a call to action.
Almost Tony Stark
Bezos’ wardrobe grows with his business, says Joseph Rosenfeld, personal style consultant in Silicon Valley. “He (Bezos) does something with his own style that sets him apart from the rest of the tech world.

Sharp objects
Raising four children is not an easy job for any parent.Bezos can hardly be called a very cautious person – they do not run companies with a trillion capitalization. Mackenzie, as her husband’s inspiration, matches his character and supports his ideas. These provisions also apply to the approach to raising children. For example, Bezos allowed the heirs to use sharp knives from the age of four. Nobody hid electrical appliances from the little Bezos either.
Parents are sure that this way their children will be able to know the world much earlier and get used to its structure.“I would rather be the father of a child with nine fingers than a child who has no way of knowing the world,” says Bezos.
