Call for hi-tech rationing debate
Technology could revolutionise the rationing debate
Interactive videos, health panels and the Internet could help the public become more involved in the rationing debate, according to a leading health charity.
The King's Fund wants a national debate on rationing which involves the public both as patients and as citizens who pay taxes.
"The NHS and the government should value the people who use and pay for the health service. They should be partners," said a spokesman.
He said this could involve taking some aspects of citizens' juries - panels of local citizens who decide on community issues - and adapting them.
For example, giving people more information about the arguments over rationing before a debate at a health authority meeting.
Alternatively, health panels or polls could be used for new expensive drugs.
Internet information
The charity also wants patients to be more involved in deciding which treatments they receive.
The Internet could provide information on the illnesses the drugs treat.
And interactive videos about diseases would allow patients to choose the information which was immediately relevant to them.
Videos already exist for some conditions, such as prostate cancer.
Another way of involving patients more is to give them a greater role in clinical trials.
The first national clinical trial designed jointly by patients and doctors is due to start soon.
It will look at the effect of taking HRT on women being treated for breast cancer.
The idea of joint trials is that patients will be given more information on the kind of drugs they are taking and give them more control.
They may, for example, ensure the results place more emphasis on patients' personal experience of the drugs, such as side effects.
Instant cures
Viagra is just the first of a wave of new so-called "lifestyle" drugs which could be prime targets for rationing.
They include anti-obesity treatment orlistat and anti-anxiety drug seroxat - dubbed the pill for shy people.
Media hype suggests the pills are instant cures for a range of conditions which form the basis of most of our current neuroses.
There is concern that demand may push the NHS budget to breaking point, although most should only be prescribed to those with a clinically defined need.
In the case of impotence - which reportedly affects one in 10 men in the UK, there are at least two other drugs coming up which could prove rivals to Viagra.
They are Vasomax and apomorphine.
Vasomax, marketed by US-based Schering-Plough, is reported to work up to twice as fast as Viagra and to have fewer side effects.
Viagra takes between 20 minutes and an hour to kick into action.
Unlike Viagra, Vasomax does not apparently interact with nitrate-based drugs and does not cause vision problems.
Vasomax's side effects include headaches and blushing.
The drug is already licensed for use in Mexico, under the name Z-max.
It could be on the market in Europe by April.
Vasomax works by blocking the nerves in the penis, allowing blood to flow in and produce an erection.
It is reported to be up to 45% successful in improving impotence in men, depending on the dosage.
Apomorphine was formerly a treatment for hypertension - like Viagra.
It is being tested by US-based TAP Holdings and is said to have a success rate of up to 60%.
But trials did not include men with known physical causes of impotence.
Side effects include nausea in up to 39% of patients, depending on the dosage.
It works by stimulating the neurological signals which create an erection.
Neither drug is not thought to be as effective as Viagra, but doctors say it will allow impotent men to have a wider range of options for treatment.
Some men find Viagra is not effective for them and for some the side effects make it risky.

Vinnie Roe here for cup

Damien Oliver had his first ride on English stayer Distinction at Sandown yesterday in preparation for the Caulfield Cup.

After weeks of indecision, Dermot Weld announced last night that Vinnie Roe would join stablemate Media Puzzle on the flight to Australia next week to run in the Melbourne Cup.
But Weld said a final decision on whether Vinnie Roe would start in the cup would depend on how firm the track was at Flemington on November 2.
Vinnie Roe, who finished fourth behind Media Puzzle in the 2002 Melbourne Cup, is the ruling topweight for this year's race on 58 kilograms.
Weld has been tossing up whether to bring Vinnie Roe back to Melbourne or send the four-times Irish St Leger winner to Canada for the Woodbine International on October 24.
Weld said Vinnie Roe's usual rider Paddy Smullen would ride him if he starts in the cup but no jockey had yet been confirmed for Media Puzzle.
The decision to bring Vinnie Roe will certainly mean the horse, rated as Europe's best stayer, firms in Melbourne Cup markets, for which he is presently quoted at about $15.
In other internationals news, Damien Oliver gave a thumbs up on Distinction after his first ride on the English stayer at Sandown yesterday.
It was made with reservations rather than the glowing endorsement he gave Media Puzzle leading up to the 2002 Melbourne Cup, but was enough to suggest he was happy to ride the big Danehill gelding in the Caulfield Cup next Saturday.
After a 30-minute walk in the chilly conditions at Sandown, Oliver took Distinction on a circuit of the course proper at an easy canter.
"He's a really laid-back and relaxed kind of horse, quite lazy I suppose, (but) he felt good," was Oliver's verdict.
By comparison, Oliver said Media Puzzle, who was working like a machine from the time he arrived in Melbourne two years ago, had impressed him from the outset.
He agreed that the Caulfield track, which was tight compared to the conditions he was used to in England, might be a "bit of a concern" for Distinction because he was such a big horse and his best form in England was on the spacious "galloping" tracks at York and Doncaster.
Against that, Oliver said the videos he had seen of Distinction's races suggested he did not mind a bit of hustle and bustle and was happy racing tight in a field.
"I wouldn't be writing him off in the Caulfield Cup but I think he'll be even better suited when he gets to Flemington," he said.
Oliver plans to test Distinction again in a gallop on the course proper at Caulfield next Thursday.
"I think he's the sort of horse who will switch on under racing conditions."

In the meantime, Distinction, who will be transferred to the international stables at Caulfield next Tuesday until after the Caulfield Cup, will have his first fast gallop at Sandown this morning with his track rider and handler Kerry Jones in the saddle. Jones said Distinction, out of the Nureyev mare Ivy Leaf, came from a family of big horses.
She said the six-year-old, who stands 17 hands tall, had two sisters who were almost as big and a brother who was bigger.
"I don't think Caulfield will be a problem because his sisters both got around Epsom," Jones said.
The home of the English Derby, with all its rises and falls and reverse cambers, has to be one of the most difficult racecourses in the world to negotiate.
"As long as a horse is balanced, it doesn't really matter how big they are and he's a very well balanced horse," Jones said.
Jones and John Cork, who is acting as travelling foreman for trainer Michael Stoute, both believe moving Distinction into the hurly-burly of the Caulfield training centre for even a few days will have a positive effect on his attitude. "We're happy where we are (at Sandown) but he's used to being around a lot of other horses," Jones said.
Cox Plate hope Elegant Fashion also will work along for the first time at Sandown this morning after cantering for the three days since she arrived.
Trainer David Hayes will fly in from Hong Kong tonight to check on the mare's progress but he wanted her faster work to be today rather than tomorrow, when he will be at Sandown, because it fits in better with the training regime he has mapped out for his charge leading up to the Cox Plate on October 23.
The German horse Paolini, who caused a sensation at Sandown on Wednesday when he unseated and then dragged his track rider Vaslav Moravec, has since been on his best behaviour and is steadily increasing the tempo of his work.

Chimp art
Page Tools
A chimpanzee's abstract paintings are going under the hammer at a top auction house in England.
The chimp, named Congo, produced the art in 1957, when he was three years old.
It will now be sold alongside work by the likes of Andy Warhol, Renoir and the Chapman Brothers.
But the sale, next month, will not be the first time that Congo's work has been in the limelight.
He produced 400 drawings and paintings between the age of two and four in the late 1950s.
As well as being the subject of a number of studies, Congo's paintings were included in an exhibition of chimpanzee art at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London.
Experts reacted to the display in 1957, Paintings by Chimpanzees, with a mixture of scorn and scepticism.
Picasso is thought to have framed one of Congo's works on a wall in his studio after being presented with it as a gift.
Congo was also a popular guest on Zoo Time, the Fifties TV program presented by celebrated animal behaviourist Dr Desmond Morris.
His experiments with Congo convinced the former London Zoo curator, who later became famous for his classic television series The Naked Ape, that chimpanzees could understand some of the elements behind human art.
The collection of three works by the "Cezanne of the ape world" are estimated to fetch 800 in Bonhams Modern and Contemporary sale in London on June 20.
Congo's brightly coloured swirls and shapes are painted with tempera on paper.
His paintings are said to resemble the style of abstract expressionism.
Congo quickly learnt how to handle a brush and pencils, instead of knocking them over or trying to eat them.
He always painted within the boundaries of the sheet of paper, never allowing the paint to spill over the edge.
Congo also appeared to know when he had finished a painting - by refusing to pick up his brush or pencil over the work.
Howard Rutkowski, director of modern and contemporary art at Bonhams, said: "I would sincerely doubt that chimpanzee art has ever been auctioned before.
"I don't think anybody else has been crazy enough to do this. I'm sure other auction houses think this is completely mad.
"This might put Congo in the pantheon."
Bonhams said: "Paintings by apes may be seen as humorous or as a derisive commentary on modern art. However, Morris's studies were a serious attempt to understand chimpanzees' ability to create order and symmetry as well as to explore, at a more primeval level, the impetus behind our own desires for artistic creativity."

Hey Chicks,
Hope you are all having an amazing Wednesday!
I am still in super "go" mode. I just spent all weekend at the Can Fit Pro Conference in Toronto (where Amanda and I got to meet fellow bootcamp lover Tommy Europe from "The Last 10 lbs" Bootcamp and clean eating sista friend Tosca Reno).
Now have jumped into a busy week as my I am about to be in my 3rd wedding of the year in Guelph for my gorgeous friend Nadine before heading for a camping / hiking getaway in Jasper, AB for long weekend. We have a week off bootcamps coming up (no classes from Aug 27-31 except Newmarket) before we launch our next session starting Sept 4th, but even then I have guests, we are running charity classes to raise $$ for Team FIT CHICKS CIBC "Run for the Cure" and finalizing details for our TV Series launch on Sept 11th of 'Shape Up with FIT CHICKS" on Rogers TV. I am a busy chick!
Now will all of this exciting stuff going on, I am on the run A LOT but there is one thing I do not go a day without…and that is coffee. I am a self proclaimed coffee junkie. Not even for the caffeine but the taste! I limit myself to 2 a day but if left to my own vices, I could probably drink about 20 cups (terrible, I know!).
That said, I wanted to share an amazing coffee creamer recipe that I came across on a blog I like called "Deliciously Organic". Even though I always try to promote not drinking your calories, this is a super tasty, dairy free, paleo friendly and no sugar added homemade option if you want to give your coffee a little pizzazz one and a while. Instead of cow's milk, the base is coconut milk (it is one of the only non dairy milk that is creamy enough and will not curdle in coffee like soy). If you don't like it as creamy, Carrie also recommends thinning it out by adding a little almond milk but I have not tried this yet.
I tried making the cinnamon streusal coffee creamer and it turned out really yummy! I made a few substitutes as I did not have almond extract and used stevia instead of the date paste.
Courtesy of Deliciously Organic
1 cup of coconut milk (recommended Thai Kitchen Coconut Milk but any will do)
1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp of date paste ( I subbed for stevia added to taste when the coffee was made)
3/4 tsp of ground cinnamon
1 tsp of vanilla extract
1 tsp of almond extract (I left this out but still was delish!)
1. Whisk all ingrediants in a bowl
2. Strain through a fine mesh metal sieve to get any chunks out
3. Store in a glass jar for up to one week
Next I am going to try the Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer but just play around to find something that works for you!
Remember chicks – you want to eat mostly foods that are unpackaged, unprocessed and made with LOVE (aka by you so you know what is in it!) so try this one out and let me know!
Have a fab day!
Laura, your Head Chick

Advanced Micro Devices on Tuesday announced that it would spin off its manufacturing operations into a new company, a breakup that the chipmaker hopes will reverse a string of money-losing quarters and dramatically improve its ability to compete with rival Intel.
AMD would hold a minority stake, 44.4%, in the new company, temporarily called the Foundry Co. The Advanced Technology Investment Co., formed by the Abu Dhabi government, would hold the remaining 55.6%. AMD, however, would have equal voting rights with ATIC, since the company board would be equally divided between the two companies.
The deal is expected to help AMD meet its critical need to reduce costs following a string of quarterly losses that have amounted to several billion dollars. Along with sharing control over manufacturing facilities with AMD, ATIC would pay the billions of dollars needed to continue with plans to expand AMD's fabrication facilities in Dresden, Germany, and build a new fab near Albany, N.Y., which would employ more than 1,400 people. AMD's Austin, Texas, manufacturing operations also would be turned over to ATIC, which would be headquartered in Silicon Valley.
Under the deal, ATIC would pay $2.1 billion for its stake in the new company, with $700 million of that money going to AMD to purchase its share. In addition, the new entity would take over $1.2 billion in AMD debt.
Over the next five years, ATIC has committed to spending from $3.6 billion to $6 billion to expand and improve the new company's chip-making capacity, which also could be used to make processors for other companies besides AMD. In doing so, the company would become a competitor of a host of manufacturers, many in Asia, that build processors designed by other firms.
The agreement also has Mubadala Development, owned in part by the Abu Dhabi government, increasing its stake of AMD to 19.3% from 8.1% with the purchase of an additional 58 million shares and warrants for 30 million more for $314 million.
AMD has been working on its breakup, which the company called its "Asset Smart" strategy, for more than a year. The initiative was an answer to Wall Street's demands for radical change to reverse the company's losses, much of which was attributed to competing against Intel and paying off the huge debt incurred with the 2006 acquisition of graphics chipmaker ATI Technologies.

With our directory of schools in Iowa you can request information from multiple programs to be sure you choose the right program. Review our directory of featured accredited colleges below to get started!
If you're seeking a career that will provide a sense of personal accomplishment and purpose, earning a degree in abnormal psychology is an excellent choice. The discipline of abnormal psychology deals with psychopathology and maladaptive behaviors. Often, professionals in this field work with people who have a broad range of disorders, including:
- Obsessive compulsive
- Eating
- Mood
- Cognitive
- Developmental
- Anxiety
These populations have behaviors and thoughts that cause internal distress and interfere with their everyday living skills. It's very difficult for those with these types of disorders to maintain jobs, take care of their families and interact with society. As a professional, you have the opportunity to use your knowledge and skills to improve the lives of others in need.
Through assessment and the implementation of cognitive and behavioral plans, you play a direct role in helping these populations learn and apply new skills to improve their functionality. You also play a major role for supporting them compassionately as they cope with their illness. As you watch your clients improve, your purpose in life is well-defined.
Abnormal Psychology Degree Options and Curriculum
Associates Degree
The associate degree in behavioral psychology takes two years to complete and is often used as a stepping stone toward earning a bachelor's degree. However, with an associate degree, students can gain positions as rehabilitation workers in healthcare centers and psychiatric technicians in state mental hospitals.
Bachelors Degree
There are many more job opportunities with a bachelor's degree in behavioral psychology. The curriculum is designed to give students in-depth knowledge of this specialty. Course study typically takes four years to complete and includes a supervised practicum in the field.

Common courses include psychological tests and measurements, mental health disorders, principles and theories of behavioral psychology, professional ethics and operant learning. With a bachelor's degree in behavioral psychology, students can attain positions as case managers for social service agencies, career counselors and rehabilitation specialists.
Masters Degree
A master's degree in behavioral psychology opens up even more job opportunities. The degree is designed to provide students with the potential of higher level positions within the industry, such as social services managers, human resource managers and drug and alcohol specialists. There are also opportunities with a master's degree to teach at colleges and universities.
The master's degree also prepares students for acceptance into a doctorate program for behavioral psychology. A doctorate program in behavioral psychology can take anywhere from four to seven years to complete and includes an internship and dissertation.
With a doctorate degree, you can attain licensure in the state of Iowa and act as a psychologist in a mental health setting or open your own private practice.
Licensure Requirements
Applicants for licensure to act as a psychologist in Iowa must meet academic, professional experience and exam requirements. The doctoral degree must come from an educational institution that is accredited and approved by the American Psychological Association. Professional experience under a qualified supervisor for a minimum of 1,500 hours is required.
There must be documented proof that you have collaborated with your assigned supervisor for at least one hour per week. After you have fulfilled these requirements, you are then eligible to take the Examination for Professional Practice of Psychology (EPPP). A passing score is required, and this computerized test is offered multiples times throughout the calendar year at designated testing sites. The test was developed by the Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards (ASPPB).
Career Outlook for Graduates in Iowa
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the median annual salary for behavioral psychologists in Iowa is $71,000. With a projected growth rate for employment set at 22 percent, the job outlook for behavioral psychologists in Iowa is positive.

LeBron Raymone James (/ləˈbrɒn/; born December 30, 1984), nicknamed "King James", is an American professional basketball player for the Miami Heat of the National Basketball Association (NBA). A 6 ft 8 in (2.03 m) small forward, he has been an NBA champion, the NBA Finals MVP, a three-time NBA MVP, and the NBA Rookie of the Year. One of Miami's co-captains along with Dwyane Wade, he is an eight-time NBA All-Star and has earned eight All-NBA honors and four All-Defensive honors. He is also the Cleveland Cavaliers' all-time leading scorer.
James played high school basketball at St. Vincent – St. Mary High School in his hometown of Akron, Ohio. A three-time "Mr. Basketball of Ohio", he was highly promoted in the national media as a future NBA superstar. After graduating, he was selected with the first overall pick of the 2003 NBA Draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers. In 2010, he left the Cavaliers for the Heat in a highly publicized free agency period. In 2012, he led Miami to their second NBA title in franchise history, winning his first overall. His career achievements and leadership role during the Heats' 2012 championship run have led a majority of basketball analysts, experts, and writers to consider him the best player in the NBA today.
Off the court, James has accumulated considerable wealth and fame as a result of numerous endorsement contracts. His public life has been the subject of much scrutiny, and he has been ranked as one of America's most disliked and influential athletes. He has also been featured in books, documentaries, and television commercials, and has hosted the ESPY Awards and Saturday Night Live.

Like most conservatives, perhaps all, I'm a law and order guy. I have tremendous respect and admiration for the police, and count several among my friends over the years. Every police officer I've had to deal with has been as professional and courteous as the situation allowed, and they have a very hard job to do.
That said, cops aren't always right, as an honest police officer would be the first to admit. Sometimes they mess up, and when they mess up it's a bit more important than when the pimply teenager forgot the onion rings in your drive through order. Sometimes they mess up so bad they cause some serious damage.
For example, a cop bashes your door in and invades your home with a gun, demanding you surrender. Turns out he meant to get 1577 Oak street, not 1575, where you live, and now he owes you a new door and years of therapy for your traumatized kids. This doesn't happen very often, if for no other reason than they'd never live it down with the other cops. But it does happen sometimes.
There are other instances where cops unlawfully enter a home. In Indiana, a supreme court case examined this situation, courtesy Orin Kerr at Volokh Conspiracy:
In this case, the officer had come to the home in response to a domestic violence call. He found the defendant, Barnes, outside. The officer and the defendant exchanged heated words, and the defendant started yelling at the officer. The officer threatened to arrest the defendant if he didn't calm down, and the defendant threatened to have the officer arrested if he arrested him. At this point the defendant's wife came outside, threw a duffel bag in the defendant's direction, and told him to take the rest of his stuff. She then went back inside the home. The defendant then reentered the home following his wife, but once inside he blocked the officer (and another officer) from entering. The officers asked if they could enter the home, and the defendant's wife pleaded with the defendant to let them enter. The defendant refused. The police then entered anyway, and the defendant "shoved [an officer] against the wall." The officers then tazed the defendant and arrested him.
The defendant was charged with misdemeanor battery against a police officer, among other things. At trial, he wanted to argue to the jury that it was lawful to shove the officer because he had a citizen's right to reasonably resist unlawful entry into his home.
This case went all the way to the supreme court, who decided that you can't fight a cop even when he breaks the law and invades your home. The court argued that, while in the past, common law provided for people to fight back against legal authorities for invading their home improperly, these days there are legal means to deal with it, so its illegal to fight the cop.
This ruling is part of a basic judicial principle these days that violence is necessarily bad and wrong, and, further, those old Founding Fathers and previous legal scholars were old fashioned, and that doesn't apply these days.
This ruling is very wrong in my opinion, and further establishes a very uncomfortable precedent in American law. Already it is illegal to lie to federal law enforcement officers, when freedom of speech should permit people to lie to government officials, if anyone. By creating a separate, superior class of people in law enforcement, the U.S. moves closer to the very things the U.S. was founded to fight against.
Anyone invading your home - police or otherwise - in an unlawful manner triggers your right to self defense. If there is one principle held higher than almost any other by the Founding Fathers and American history, it is that every man may defend his family and property. That's the idea behind "castle laws" like the one on the books in Texas: you can kill to defend yourself and your home.
Police are not somehow immune to this feature of American law and philosophy. If you invade my home illegally, you're breaking the law and I have the right to use force to defend myself and my home, period.
The idea that people can use the legal system to address grievances is accurate, but insufficient. People have always had the legal system to do this with - even in England, the land the Founding Fathers fled seeking liberty. It wasn't always perfect and it didn't always protect people, but neither does our system now.
Violence is a tool, like the legal system, rhetoric, and many others you can use, to fight injustice. The courts want to remove that tool from citizens, and that's something we must always and vigorously oppose.

Mr. Paulson,
Thank you for responding so quickly! I am so excited to maybe being on
the right road! In all of my research in talking to relatives (my family
was one that did not talk or share anything, at least that I can
remember), my great grandparents came from Bohemia/Germany. Until I
found my ggrandmothers obit last week, she mentioned this village. She
passed away in 1939. I'm just hoping that through any information you
can supply me, I will be successful in my research.
Here is some information which may be of help to you:
Ggrandfather: Johann Janotta
DOB: 12/17/1853 - Bohemia
DOD: 10/2/1901 - He was killed at a barn raising, when one of the
timbers fell on him.
Married: 1879
Ggrandmother: Mary Hetz
1882 Immigrated to US
Son: Wenz Janotta, born 8/1882 in Bohemia
Other siblings born in USA:
Anna Mary Janotta - DOB: 5/2/1884
John Lawrence Janotta - my grandfather - DOB: 8/20/1885
Peter P. Janotta - DOB: 6/26/1887
Anthony F. Janotta - DOB 10/16/1892
On the 1900 Census of Peru Township, Ohio - Johann listed his occupation
as a carpenter. As was my grandfather. The family were of the Catholic
I do have a copy of Johann's Naturalization papers.
I would love any information about the village you might send me. If
additional information is required, I will do my best to supply it to

Hello Elaine:
Your village of "Preheisen" is really the village of Pscheheischen in
Mies ib southern Egerland, Bohemia. There were several Hetz families
in this village in 1946.
If you want more information on the village, etc. contact me via e-mail.

Subject: Janotta/Hetz
I am researching the names Johann and Mary Hetz Janotta, with a brother,
named Joseph Janotta, who was still living in 1939. In Mary's obituary,
she listed him being from the town of Preheisen, Germany. When I type
this town into the computer, it comes up Preuseen. Is this the correct
place? They came to the US in 1882 with a young son, named Wenz. Settled
in Huron County Ohio, while other siblings settled in the Toledo, Ohio
area. Johann was a carpenter by trade. They were of the Catholic faith.
Any information would greatly be appreciated. Thank you, Elaine Lochner,

In some modern-day settings, the normal human members of either side will use guns, and often with [[ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy less than stellar accuracy]], regardless of allegiance. Combined with the idea that guns are easy point and click weapons, how do you set apart your ranged combat hero with no cool looking superpowers? Why, give them a bow and arrow, of course! Not only will it prove that they're a lot better shot than everyone else, but are cool under pressure as well. Usually, the coolness factor will be ramped up by giving them all sorts of [[TrickArrow neat arrows that'll come in handy for any situation]] they might encounter. And of course, their arrows will [[GunsAreWorthless always be more effective than guns]].
Crossbows can fit this trope as well, though they're not ''quite'' as cool. This also lets you replace the [[TriggerHappy negative]] [[CrazySurvivalist violent]] [[GunNut connotations]] that guns bring with them and replace them with the [[ArchaicWeaponForAnAdvancedAge positive]] [[KnightErrant violent]] connotations of the bow and arrow. It's also more believable ([[RealityIsUnrealistic if not necessarily more true]]) to invoke ThouShallNotKill with a bow and arrow than with a gun.
[[BottomlessMagazines Unlimited supply of arrows]] often included, despite the fact that arrows are significantly large and not many can be carried in an ordinary quiver compared to bullets.
Before the widespread adoption of breechloading rifles, the trope had some accuracy. The crossbow replaced the longbow and the musket because while the replacement weapon was inferior, it was also much easier to train people to use it. It literally took a lifetime of training to create a skilled longbowman with ''another'' skilled longbowman to train ''him.'' An ''old'' phrase about training longbowmen is: Start with his ''grandfather.'' However, the breech-loading repeating rifles invented during the 19th century matched the longbow in range, accuracy, and rate of fire, and a moderately healthy man could learn to use one in a manner of weeks of simple instruction.
Of course, that applies to general deployment, where the disadvantages of guns aren't a constantly glaring flaw. Take noise as an example: HollywoodSilencer, put simply, doesn't exist ''any'' gun will make a distinct, very audible noise when fired. The only question is how much and whether or not you can pinpoint where the shot came from. Conversely, bows and crossbows are dead silent, and furthermore, have no muzzle flash to reveal the shooter's position. In a situation where that matters, such as stealthy military operations or just plain ol' hunting, the "archaic" arrow/bolt-throwers are much more preferable.
Close relative of the ArcherArchetype, sometimes overlapping it, though one can exist without the other. This trope regards situations where someone manages to make a bow and arrows a better choice than other, more modern weapons like guns. Often, a hero (or villain) who follows the Straight and Arrow Path can be pretty dangerous with his fists as well; it's all that muscle to pull the draw string.
Subtrope of ArchaicWeaponForAnAdvancedAge. Also related to GunsAreWorthless. Name not to be confused with NoArcInArchery.
* Signum of ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha''. In a world where others use blasters, guns, rifles, and {{Wave Motion Gun}}s, she, as an [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld old knight]], prefers to use a bow and arrow that packs enough explosive whallop to destroy a HumongousMecha's DeflectorShields when going long-range. Although, it is merely a (rarely used) form of her CoolSword.
* Played with in ''Manga/OnePiece''. In a world where every pirate seems to carry a pistol and the Marines use muskets, the marksman of the Straw Hat Crew is a [[ImprobableAimingSkills deadeye]] with a slingshot. Which, the particular weapon apart, keeps him within the trope: with the modifications (magic seashells to increase the speed and power of his projectiles and a variety of [[GreenThumb weaponized plants]] as AbnormalAmmo), his slingshot is better than most firearms, and he has the training.
* Angewomon of ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'' can shoot arrows of light from a bow attached to one of her gloves and first appears in the human world. ''Anime/DigimonTamers'' has [[OurCentaursAreDifferent Pajiramon]], a VillainOfTheWeek who wields a crossbow in a setting where guns can't hurt Digimon. ''Anime/DigimonXrosWars'' has Zamielmon, a bow-wielding SizeShifter elf who [[HuntingTheMostDangerousGame hunts other Digimon for his own amusement]] while Revolmon, a living gun, is on the heroes' side and doesn't get to fight very often.
* Guts of ''{{Manga/Berserk}}'' is an interesting case, in that he has both a gun and a crossbow. While gunpowder weapons are limited to bombards (that we can see), his artificial arm carries a small cannon inside it, and has an AutomaticCrossbow that can be attached on it.
[[folder:Comic Books]]
Where to begin? As mentioned above, this is a common trope in comics, though that's really putting it lightly. There's an entire sub-class of heroes known as archers.
* DC's ComicBook/GreenArrow and his former sidekicks and associated characters. The second Green Arrow (the first's son Connor Hawke) was a variant in which the archer is also good in close combat. Connor is one of the six best martial artists in the DC Universe.
** The first Green Arrow's sidekick Speedy (first Roy Harper, who has since operated as Red Arrow and Arsenal, and then his [[LegacyCharacter replacement]] Mia Dearden) also qualify, as do his enemies Shado and Merlyn as well as ''ComicBook/YoungJustice'''s Arrowette, whose mother Miss Arrowette was Ollie Queen's StalkerWithACrush.
* The ComicBook/{{Huntress}}, whether the Post-Crisis Helena Bertinelli or the Pre-Crisis (and New52) Helena Wayne. The former is a Gotham vigilante and a prominent member of ComicBook/BirdsOfPrey, and the latter is Batman and Catwoman's daughter and a member of the ComicBook/JusticeSocietyOfAmerica.
* Marvel has ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}}, who trained under fellow trope-qualifier Trickshot and performed in the circus before turning to crime and then heroics. He later took up the identity of Ronin, a close-combat fighter.
** In a subversion of this trope, the Ultimate version of Hawkeye ditched the bow and arrows for guns, and manages to be just as accurate with them.
** Kate Bishop also currently uses the name Hawkeye. Notably she first took the alias when Clint Barton was dead, but later he gave her permission to use the codename as well.
* Yondu of the ComicBook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy
* Celestial Archer of the Great Ten, who was probably intended to fill the traditional superteam role established by Green Arrow and Hawkeye.
* [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHercules Hercules]] is known to be a master archer, but because the bow serves as a reminder of Nessus' treachery and Deianira's suicide, he rarely uses one.
* A villainous example: the Spider, formerly of Quality Comics, who replaced Green Arrow in the post-Crisis version of the original Seven Soldiers of Victory and only fought crime to eliminate competition. His sons, the second Spider and Spyder, are another villain and an anti-hero, respectively.
* [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks Golden Age]] hero the Arrow was the first superhero to use archery as his primary gimmick. First appearing in 1938, he was actually one of the first superheroes. Now in the public domain he currently appears in the ''ComicBook/ProjectSuperpowers'' series from Dynamite Entertainment.
* Another early example is Fawcett's Golden Archer. The name being the same as the GA CaptainErsatz from ''Squadron Supreme'' is likely a coincidence.
* Even Creator/RobLiefeld had to get in on the act--his series ''ComicBook/{{Youngblood}}'' had [[MeaningfulName Shaft]], who used a high-tech gravity-catapult longbow because he thought it [[RuleOfCool looked cooler]] than a gun. In later series, he's not above using guns depending on the situation, but still strongly prefers the bow because he considers it to be irrevocably his "thing".
* In ''GIJoe'', Storm Shadow is shown to have carried a bow into Vietnam, which he uses because it happens to be quieter than even a silenced gun. He's considered the best archer in the world in the Marvel ''[[ComicBook/GIJoeARealAmericanHeroMarvel G.I. Joe]]'' comic. The second-best is Zartan, who uses technological aids to achieve high accuracy.
** Scarlett, the intelligence officer of the Joes, uses a crossbow as her main weapon. She gets by thru not being a primary combatant amongst the team.
* Sonya Savage in the later series of ''ComicBook/DangerGirl''. She manages to make a bow seem like a sensible choice in a setting where most of your foes are toting automatic weapons (or worse).
* The professor in ''Film/DiaryOfTheDead'' was killing zombies at 50 feet and farther with bow and arrow.
* ''Film/BladeTrinity'' has Abby Whistler using a bow and arrow as her weapon of choice against vampires.
* ''Franchise/{{Rambo}}'', definitely. Including high-explosive arrowheads.
* Likewise, Arnie's powder-headed arrows from ''Film/{{Predator}}''.
* Melina Havelock, from Film/JamesBond ''Film/ForYourEyesOnly'' uses a crossbow as a way of demonstrating just how badass she is.
* Inara, in the final fight sequence of ''Film/{{Serenity}}'' was to have used a bow and arrow, but it didn't look right in the final cut, so was digitally replaced with a sort of bolt gun. Which explains the apparently weird firing mechanism of that gun. They only did the replacement on the close-ups, though, so she's still got the bow in long shots.
* In ''Film/ThePunisher2004'', the Punisher uses a bow and arrow at one point. Surprisingly justified for an action movie as he makes two silent kills against body armor, since the armor is not arrow proof, and ditches the bow once the building's alarms trip.
* Justified in ''Film/TheAvengers2012''. Clint Barton, aka Hawkeye, uses a bow because his variety of [[TrickArrow arrow heads]] come with secondary functions that a bullet could never have, such as explosive, second stage projectile, and grappling. Barton is also an impeccable shot with his bow, as shown by him casually hitting a moving target [[OffhandBackhand while looking the other way.]] He does use a sidearm in the beginning of the film however, and eventually runs out of arrows during the assault on New York.
* In ''Film/{{Thor}}'', a S.H.I.E.L.D. sniper passes over a [[WallOfWeapons Wall Of Guns]] in favor of a bow, revealing himself to be [[Film/TheAvengers2012 Hawkeye]] pulling a cameo.
* Brenda from the 1984 vigilante film ''Film/SavageStreets'' uses a crossbow and some bear traps to deadly effect against three of the members of the vicious street gang responsible for raping her sister and murdering her best friend.
* Rudy of ''Film/TheMonsterSquad'' similarly uses a crossbow loaded with wooden stakes against the female vampires during the final battle.
* ''Film/AssassinsCreed2016'': Abstergo Rehabilitation Center guards use crossbows against the Assassins during the prison break. Callum uses a bow meanwhile. The in-universe reason is that Callum's training comes from his 15th century ancestor and the bow was much easier to get his hands on than another long-range weapon but doesn't he look heroic with Connor's bow?
* Mack of Louis Lamour's ''Last of the Breed'' very capably uses his bow to defeat any number of armed Russian soldiers. He was a perfectly capable gun user when he got his hands on one. His use of the bow was a combination of its increased stealth, the fact that it could be made on the fly (Mack being on the run from a Russian gulag and crossing Siberia), and that it brought him closer to his [[UsefulNotes/NativeAmericans Native American]] heritage.
* Yeoman from the ''Literature/WildCards'' universe is the setting's premier BadassNormal, capable of taking on super-powered opponents wielding nothing more than a bow. Or less- he's a master martial artist and has killed with just a bowstring.
* The children of Apollo and Artemis' hunters in ''Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians'' will both use bows and arrows with far more efficiency than guns.
** Frank Zhang, to characterize him as a more cerebral child of Mars rather than a brutish child of Ares, is not only talented at archery but also strong enough to use TrickArrows.
* Wahrwoorde from ''{{Literature/Malevil}}''. An EvilPoacher, he preferred to use a bow to commit his crimes in secret and he was a champion archer to boot.
* In ''Literature/TheMouseThatRoared'', the Grand Fenwick expeditionary force invades New York City with just a handful of longbowmen.
-->'''Count of Mountjoy:''' Our national weapon, the longbow, has been out of date for so long that it has become, in many ways, a super weapon. It can kill at a range of five hundred yards. It is completely accurate in skilled hands. It is silent. It requires a low expenditure for ammunition, and lends itself excellently to mass fire.
* In ''Literature/{{Neuromancer}}'' 3Jane's vat-grown ninja bodyguard uses a bow and arrow, with enough accuracy to [[BlastingItOutOfTheirHands shoot a gun out of someone's hand]] and only slice the gunman's thumb a little, and even then the cut thumb was an accident caused by the coriolis forces of CentrifugalGravity. [[spoiler: Then he's blinded and is still able to shoot them thanks to a Zen archery trick.]]
* In ''Literature/TheGirlFromTheMiraclesDistrict'', Robin uses a crossbow despite guns being readily available, likely because it's quieter [[spoiler:and as an immortal creature, he likely has more proficiency with it than he would with a gun.]]
[[folder:Live Action TV]]
* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' has used a crossbow on occasion, though [[JustifiedTrope justified]] in that her vampires are ImmuneToBullets.
** Faith used a modern compound bow in season 3 of the series, contrasting her with the relatively medieval weaponry that the rest of the Scooby Gang used.
* ''Series/TheDukesOfHazzard'': Justified in that Bo & Luke were on probation and couldn't have guns.
* The second Yellow Four of ''Series/ChoudenshiBioman''. Oh sure, she could use the standard issue blaster that everyone has, but perforating MechaMooks with arrows looks cooler.
* In ''Series/TheWalkingDead'', resident redneck Daryl is usually seen preferring his crossbow to firearms. This makes sense as ammunition for guns is becoming scarce and the crossbow has less chance of alerting other walkers. That and crossbow bolts can be easily retrieved after being fired.
* Oliver Queen, The Hood, in ''Series/{{Arrow}}''. He justifies it later, explaining that the bow represents self-control, over the chaotic nature of a gun, though the ''real'' reason he uses a bow is that's the weapon he learned to use while trapped on an island for five years. Because of his signature color and MO, this is combined to make people believe he's a modern day Robin Hood.
* And before ''Arrow'', ''Series/{{Smallville}}'s'' Ollie didn't shy away from his trademark bow. As his live action debut and as it was going for a more fancy, Batman-esque take on him, instead of his usual longbows, Green Arrow made use of Compound Bows (which have the advantage of being easier to fire with) and handheld crossbows, which included such features as grappling gun mechanisms for him to get about. He tended to use the bow for surprise attacks, stronger threats, or for non-attacking purposes, and use the crossbow when shooting at people, due to the fact he could use non-lethal boltheads with this one that the bow wouldn't allow.
* In ''Series/{{Haven}}'', Dwight Hendrickson wields a crossbow, which weirds the others out. This is out of necessity because his Trouble makes it so [[BlessedWithSuck bullets are attracted to him]], so he can't use a gun.
* In the ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' episode [[Recap/SupernaturalS09E02DevilMayCare "Devil May Care" (S09, Ep02)]], Kevin uses a crossbow to defend himself.
* The Power Bow was the signature weapon of the Pink Ranger in ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'', although Kimberly used it far more often than Kat did. (And in far more memorable occasions; the time she used it [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome to slay the Terror Toad]] is one that stands out.)
* Oddly enough, Kelly proves a natural at archery trick-shooting in a late-season episode of ''Series/MarriedWithChildren''.
* ''Series/{{Firefly}}'' gives us [[HighClassCallGirl Inara Serra]], who, in keeping with her graceful pedigree, prefers using a bow and arrow over the combustible firearms that the rest of the crew uses, although she's not bad with guns or unarmed combat when she needs to be.
[[folder: Tabletop Games]]
* In ''TabletopGame/HcSvntDracones'' a compound bow deals more damage than handguns, is perfectly silent, doesn't require an action to reload, and arrows maintain a stable flight path further than bullets and can be [[PoisonedWeapons poisoned]]. Though it requires a minimum of two dots in the Ranged Combat proficiency to use and arrows cost half a credit apiece while 3 clips of ammo cost 5 credits. [[note]]Though that's more cost-effective than a handgun or SMG-sized clip which is depleted after two uses, not bullets mind, but uses.[[/note]]
* Bows in ''TabletopGame/{{Shadowrun}}'' have experienced something of a renaissance, both because many of the native american [[DividedStatesOfAmerica successor states of the US]] have elevated them to the status of a cultural icon and because with trolls, strength-boosting adept magic and cyberware added into the mix, it is possible to use bows that deal damage comparable to modern sniper rifles while also remaining silent and impervious to hacking. Poisoned, explosive and {{Trick Arrow}}s are also popular on the streets.
* Although most people who use bows find themselves seriously outclassed in ''TabletopGame/RocketAge'' Martian Chanari tribesmen who use the Bone Bow are generally far more dangerous, due to the sheer power of the weapon in the hands of a strong archer.
* TabletopGame/Warhammer40000, one variation of [[BifurcatedWeapon Combi-weapon]] is a [[{{BFG}} Bolter]] with a crossbow attachment. It sounds ridiculous, but the crossbow shoots [[HolyHandGrenade consecrated stakes]] built to [[YourHeadAsplode violently disrupt]] a psychic's power, making the crossbow part a good, if situational, specialist weapon.
[[folder:Video Games]]
%%* ''Every {{VideoGame/Turok}} game ever''.
* Following the Archer character type, ''VideoGame/CityOfHeroes'' has the powersets Archery and Trick Arrows, both used by Manticore. It's at least on par with the Assault Rifle powerset.
** The TrickArrow powerset stacks its powers into the most powerful debuffing set in the game, making it highly desired against GiantMonsters and Arch Villains.
* When placed in a FirstPersonShooter, the bow or crossbow can be counted on to be as powerful as a sniper rifle, such as the scoped crossbow in the ''VideoGame/HalfLife'' series, which uses tranquilizer darts meant for large animals or red-hot lengths of iron rebar for bolts. Both are extremely deadly against mostly anything Gordon Freeman comes to face.
* In the ''VideoGame/StarOceanTheLastHope'', Reimi uses a bow. Unusually for the trope, the game takes steps to justify[=/=]HandWave it: she took classes in both eastern and western archery as a curiosity [[spoiler: and to distract herself from her DarkAndTroubledPast]], and was initially on the ship as a BridgeBunny, not for her weapon skills. It's only after it's discovered that the alien wildlife is immune to the standard-issue railguns[[note]]They sense the electromagnetic energy of the firing sequence and brace, older weapons have no such systems[[/note]] that she starts backing Edge up in the field.
* The Sniper of ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' can use a bow and arrow instead of his SniperRifle. The bow has slightly lower maximum damage, but [[ChargedAttack charges to maximum damage]] much faster than the gun in question. It fires in an arc and there's a definite delay between the arrow leaving the bow and landing on the target, so using it successfully is seen as a matter of luck rather than skill. The "arrows from nowhere" bit is averted, as he can only carry about half as many arrows as sniper rifle rounds.
** The Medic can equip a Crossbow (with [[HealingShiv healing bolts]]). There's only one shot per clip but it reloads so quickly, is more accurate, and [[RuleOfCool looks so much cooler]] than the Syringe Gun that it's worth it.
* Connor of ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedIII'' uses one, though he mainly uses it for hunting. He can use [[HandCannon flintlock pistols]], but they end up damaging his quarry's pelt, reducing the value.
* In ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'', Marle uses a crossbow and Lucca a gun. Somewhat justified in that Lucca's an inventor, but then there's the fact that every shop seems to sell guns for Lucca, the party time travel to the future where guns are common, and it's not particularly likely that archery is a part of Marle's princess training. (Of course, it helps that Marle's a RebelliousPrincess, and ''Japanese'' princesses were often trained in bow archery for both self defense and character building reasons.)
* In ''VideoGame/NinjaGaiden'', Ryu's main ranged weapons are either shurikens or a bow and yet he can still kill mooks armed with machine guns as well as helicopters, though it's better trying to use your speed to close the distance and attack them in close quarters than it is to try and shoot them with your bow.
* The advertising campaign for ''VideoGame/{{Crysis}} 3'', a game set in 2047, puts quite a lot of emphasis on the new bow weapon and its arsenal of {{Trick Arrow}}s.
** Somewhat justified, in this case, as it's the one weapon that Prophet can use while cloaked.
* ''VideoGame/IAmAlive'' and ''VideoGame/TheLastOfUs'' use bows as stealthy weapons with retrievable arrows (in the latter game, the arrows might [[BreakableWeapons break]]). They help emphasise the [[ScavengerWorld scavenger world]] where every bullet and weapon counts.
* In the 2013 reboot of ''[[VideoGame/TombRaider2013 Tomb Raider]]'', Lara Croft's most iconic weapon in the game is her hunting bow, which begins as a makeshift longbow and ends as a professional sports bow. She has access to a nice assortment of guns as well, but for most of the game the bow is preferable due to its relatively high damage output and the fact that it's completely silent (stealth greatly helps in keeping Lara alive), whereas her other weapons make quite some noise.
* In ''Videogame/{{Warframe}}'' the Tenno are avid users of bows, albeit ones often [[EnhancedArchaicWeapon equipped with fancy tech]] to make the arrows deadlier or fly faster than normally possible. Their usage is justified in that the Tenno fought against enemies that could corrupt most high-tech weaponry, which bows and low-tech percussion rifles were immune or highly resistant to. Bows are completely silent, deal monstrous amounts of damage, can use a variety of {{Trick Arrow}}s, and often come with innate [[OneHitPolykill punch-through power]].
** Played even straighter by The Stalker, a special enemy who hunts down players if they kill a lot of bosses. While the Tenno can use any weapon they choose, the Stalker is always armed with a bow and kunai as his ranged weapon.
* Despite looking like AutomaticCrossbows, Bowguns in ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter'' behave just like regular guns, muzzle flash included. You still have the option of using regular Bows though, and they're just as effective as every other weapon.
* A large number of enemy {{Mooks}} in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4'' and ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvil5 5]]'' use crossbows with [[ArrowsOnFire flaming arrows]] as primary ranged weapons. In ''4'' this somewhat makes sense as the first two parts of the game take place in an isolated village and a centuries-old castle, but it still carries on in the final third which is on a modern military base and other enemies [[SchizoTech use electrified rods and gatling guns.]] Likewise in ''5,'' the crossbows are used in the opening parts of the game in a dilapidated shanty town, and ultimately gets averted in the final part of the game which takes part in an ElaborateUndergroundBase where the enemies are armed with [[CoolGuns AK-74s and RPG-7s.]]
** In the ''Mercenaries'' mode of both games, Krauser and Sheva (in an alternate costume) use longbows as their primary weapons.
* The hunter Simon in ''VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}}'' DoesntLikeGuns, so had a special bow crafted for him by the workshop which also doubles as a sword. While said weapon's description suggests he was scoffed at by most for trying to fight horrific (and sometimes gigantic) beasts with a bow, the mere fact you can meet him at all suggests he made it work at least as well as the guns he hated.
* ''VideoGame/{{Contagion}}'' has both a crossbow and a compound bow. Reusable ammo, powerful shots and almost totally silent operation are ''very'' useful in a ZombieApocalypse, and indeed [[DifficultButAwesome they are excellent weapons once you get past the initial difficulty of aiming compared to guns]]. A skilled user is ''deadly'' against zombie and human opponent alike, and can clear out vast expanses of the map without attracting any attention.
* ''VideoGame/SevenDaysToDie'' has both a wooden bow and a crossbow. They're not the fastest or strongest weapons out there, but by far they're the most practical, especially early on. Both can be fitted with arrows/bolts of different heads with different effects (stone for bleeding [=DoT=], iron for damage, steel for even more damage and a base for crafting the very powerful [[ArrowsOnFire fiery arrows]] and [[StuffBlowingUp explosive bolts]]), the weapons and their respective ammo are very easy and fast to craft, ''and'' it feeds off (and therefore increases) Weapon Smithing, the same skill that dictates the crafting of melee weapons[[note]]in fact, crafting lots and lots of arrows is a worthwhile way to {{Level Grind|ing}} that doesn't leave you with a lot of junk to discard - they don't depend on a quality level[[/note]]. If that wasn't enough, they're quite silent, being totally inaudible to zombies and difficult for other players to hear at any appreciable distance, which allows for a good streak of stealth kills. A skilled player can do a run through the city biome (the most zombie-riddled one) just fine with a poor crossbow and a good stock of stone bolts.
* Hanzo Shimada in ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'' brings a bow to an arena full of modern weapons and futuristic {{Ray Gun}}s. He rounds out the repertoire with {{Trick Arrow}}s, [[ImprobableAimingSkills ricocheting shots]], and occasionally using dragon magic to chase the arrow with a KamehameHadoken.
* Bows and arrows are regularly seen alongside guns and grenades in ''[[NexusWar Nexus Clash]]'' owing to the UrbanFantasy of the setting and the fact that some of the [[AnotherDimension Planes of Existence]] visited in the series aren't part of the modern world. The [[AscendedDemon Redeemed]] in particular has supernaturally good skill with a bow that allow them to match all but the most capable users of firearms.
* ''VideoGame/{{Metro 2033}}'' and ''VideoGame/MetroLastLight'' feature the [[Film/VanHelsing Helsing]], a pneumatically-driven revolver arrowgun. It is quiet to HollywoodSilencer levels, powerful in the proper pressure level (one-shots an armored human on a bodyshot) and absurdly so when overpressurized (on harder difficulties it can kill a [[BossInMooksClothing Black Librarian]] in little more than a full reload), and the arrows can be retrieved for later use. The downsides are that its pressure gauge is hard to read at a glance, it's very slow to fire, and unlike most of the trope's examples, it's pretty inaccurate at longer ranges, so much so that a scope is next-to-useless on it.
[[folder: Webcomics]]
* ''WebComic/MagickChicks'': {{Justified}} in the case of Callista Archer, who's the captain of Artemis Academy's Archery Club. As such, she has the distinction of being [[http://www.magickchicks.com/strips-mc/deadeye the best shot at the school]] and she [[http://www.magickchicks.com/strips-mc/confusing_my_hormones has the trophies to prove it.]]
* There is an archer among the Regulars of the second test in ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod''. He manages to kill a few enemies, but in turn is taken out by Levin and his sniper rifle. So this trope gets subverted pretty quickly.
[[folder:Web Original]]
* Riley from ''AudioPlay/WereAlive'' was trained as a pro archer and prefers to use a bow since it's quiet and doesn't alert the [[ZombieApocalypse zombies.]]
* ''Literature/{{Worm}}'' has two superheroes who are known for their crossbows:
** Shadow Stalker, who has [[DualWielding one in each hand]].
** Flechette, who has a single, extra-large one.
[[folder:Western Animation]]
* ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'':
** Despite living in the 22nd Century in a city that's the heart of the robotic revolution, the Angry Archer still uses a bow and trick arrows (albeit with some sort of robotic gauntlet on one hand). While he's hardly the most competent of supervillains, he does manage to put them to good use.
** Rodimus Prime as well, though he uses EnergyBow.
* As with their comic counterparts, Green Arrow and Speedy/Red Arrow in ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'', ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' (though only for Speedy), and ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice''. ''Young Justice'' also has, as a main character, Artemis Crock, who in the comics usually uses a crossbow, but is an Olympic level archer. In the series the longbow is her primary weapon, as Green Arrow's second sidekick.
* As does Hawkeye in ''WesternAnimation/TheAvengersUnitedTheyStand'', ''WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes'', and ''WesternAnimation/AvengersAssemble'', as well as in ''WesternAnimation/IronManArmoredAdventures'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Ultimate Spider-Man}}''. And Francis Barton, his son, in ''WesternAnimation/NextAvengersHeroesOfTomorrow''.
[[folder:Real Life]]
* "[[http://www.wwiihistorymagazine.com/2005/july/col-profiles.html Fighting Jack]]" [[JackChurchill Churchill]] fought with [[BowAndSwordInAccord a bow and a claymore]] in World War 2. He's thus the only person to have made a confirmed kill with a bow in said war.
* Modern crossbows are gaining some currency among police and special forces for a number of reasons: because of the way many ballistic vests work, subsonic weaponry like crossbow bolts or arrows can pierce them; they're not nearly as loud and can make for a silent kill if need be; they have more nonlethal ammo options; and they can be fired at a target with a bomb strapped to them without risk of detonation, a real concern with suicide bombers today.
* Modern archery is a ''very'' popular pastime in UsefulNotes/SouthKorea, whose team has won 34 medals (19 of them gold) in the event at the Olympics since 1972.

Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Thank you very much for your time to answer my question, can you offer any techniques on positive thinking. I'm offshore and have a lot of time to reflect on things and i can be my own worst enemy
Sure I would be happy to help. One of the first steps to take in changing your thinking is to pay attention to your inner self talk. That sounds a bit odd, but by paying attention to what you say to yourself and about your world, you can pinpoint where the problem areas are. For example, if you typically react to a compliment by saying, "That is not true. I'm a loser", then you know you have a poor self image. By identifying these issues, you will know what to work on. The next step is to replace your negative thoughts with positive ones. It helps some people to write down all the positive thoughts about yourself and your life that you can think of. That way, when you have a negative thought, you can turn to the list rather than try to come up with a positive thought to counteract the negative one. And it helps to read the list as often as possible to reinforce these thoughts.Another step to take, especially if you are having trouble thinking in a positive way, is to ask people who know you to help you make a list of good qualities about you. Another perspective often helps you see things you miss about who you really are. Also, consider learning as much as you can about positive thinking. Here are some resources to get you started:http://psychology.about.com/od/PositivePsychology/a/how-to-become-a-positive-thinker.htmThe Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent PealeEveryday Positive Thinking by Louise HayThe Path to Success is Paved with Positive Thinking: How to Live a Joy-filled Life and Make Your Dreams Come True by Wally AmosKate

Having degrees in these areas,were there any insightful quotes or phrases that encouraged you achieve your goals? I know,its completely stupid, it was a short encounter with the girl,and I've had many relationships but she really got to me and i don't know why....
Not stupid at all. I encourage you to make a list of inspirational quotes that you can look at to help you. Here are some sites to help you:http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/topics/topic_inspirational.html http://www.lifed.com/top-100-inspirational-quotes-to-live-by Here are a few others that may help:"The only source of knowledge is experience" Albert Einstein Sometimes we need to forget some people from out past because of one simple reason: They just don't belong in our future.Unknown quotes Kate
Those are brilliant, thank you so much. I particularly like that last one. I appreciate you answering my questions, there's not really anyone i can talk to out here about that sort of thing, it's all very 'macho'. I've no problem wearing my heart on my sleeve, but to have 3 weeks of older guys ripping on you can take its toll. Is there anything other advice you can offer? You've really helped me out and i do appreciate it
You're welcome!
Most of all, take care of yourself and don't be too hard on yourself. You need time to work this out so it doesn't bother you anymore. And do as much self help as you can. Learning is always helpful and can get you to where you want to be.
Thank you kate

And there is also one for Atlanta not wanting to be a part of Georgia to remain part of the union of Ga secedes. Ridiculous.
Peacefully grant the City of Atlanta leave to withdraw from the State of Georgia and remain part of the United StatesThe City of Atlanta continues to suffer deprivations of economic, civil, religious, and political freedoms imposed upon it by Georgians (who are hostile to Atlanta).
In the event that Georgia is successful in its effort to secede from the Union, we the people of Atlanta wish to remain in the United States. We love our country. We are dedicated to it. And we are committed to preserving its rights and liberties in accordance with the original ideas and beliefs of our founding fathers.
We would also like to annex Athens, Georgia, Decatur, Georgia and the parts of Macon, Georgia made famous by the Allman Brothers.

In the third quarter of Saturday's game between the University of Dubuque and Luther College, UD quarterback Wyatt Hanus completed a pass to wide receiver Michael Zweifel.
It was the 437th reception of Zweifel's career, one more than the NCAA record (in all divisions) held by Scott Pingel since 1999. Zweifel finished the game with 15 catches for 148 yards, including two touchdowns, making his career total 440 -- for now.
UD beat Luther 45-0 on Saturday, and the Spartans will play at Coe College next weekend.

I am easy going and more laid back with the right people.
Life tends to become boring if you stay around long enough so it's important to always keep an open mind for, and try, new things.
I believe in trying everything at least once.
I like good movies (good as in an intelligent guy behind the camera and a good actor in front in that order) and my favourite actor is Johnny Depp in POC (all 3 of them).
I keep an open eye for movies from different countries and in different languages and enjoy a movie that has a story to tell. (Hollywood movies are mostly visual effects movies and are good entertainment). But the British are kings of drama of course.
I also like sports (mostly watch) and I am a tennis fan (Federer) and like soccer and follow F1.

Manhattanhenge Returns to NYC
For the second time this summer, city residents will get to experience Manhattanhenge — that's when the sun aligns with the city's street grid, appearing to descend between the buildings.
Jackie Faherty, an astronomer at the American Museum of Natural History, said the best way to see it is to look west between 14th and 155th streets as the sun sets, around 8:30 p.m. on Thursday. The sun should appear as a half orb along the horizon.
"We're getting the amazing moment of the sun right on the grid, when everybody wants to be outside, everybody wants to be doing something that's interesting in the evenings, and it smacks you in the face when you see it," she said.
Faherty said Manhattanhenge also occurs twice during sunrise, in the winter, but it's usually harder to see. That phenomenon occurs in December and January.
The phenomenon is not unique to New York City. In fact, it's purely coincidental, Faherty said, and would occur at some point during the year on any grid like Manhattan's.
"If you look at Stonehenge, or any of the great archaeo-astronomy sites, they were designed specifically to line up with the summer solstice, the winter solstice, the equinoxes," she explained, whereas in the city, it's a coincidence of the grid.
While the half-orb sun seems to get all the glory, Manhattanhenge is actually a multi-day event.
Looking west along the grid Wednesday night, you'll be able to see the full orb of the sun above the horizon, Faherty explained. On Thursday, it'll appear as a semi-circle as it sets.
WNYC wants to see your photos of Manhattanhenge. Send in your Manhattanhenge photos to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Maybe our favorite bit of creativity of all time, "Pieces of Her," a play about market research for Tide written by weirdos at Saatchi, has made the rounds in the Cinncinatti HQ of Proctor and Gamble and caused a big shake up. "Hey," thinks a high powered P&G executive, "reading this play is making me deal with the emotions I feel toward myself, toward Tide, and all the agencies who handle our interactive accounts." And then they smoked a thousand dollar bill and feasted upon the last living Keebler elf.
Point is, Ad Age has reported that there's been a massive shakeup among the interactive firms that work with P&G. Three firms are gone and a batch of newbies have been added. The best part of this is that the firms that have, for years, been running the company's two largest accounts, Pampers and Gillette, have "formally joined the roster." So those millions upon millions were just a fun-time trial run? Isn't that like dating someone, having children with them, spending the next seventy years together, and then finally annoucing, "Okay, I'll go out on a date with you."?
