Cute, but not sure worth the money...

About Me Midrange Shopper
Comments about Levels Of Discovery CoCaLo Jungle Jingle Bench Seat with Storage:
This product was not the greatest to put together and wood is cheaper than expected. Be careful with directions on assembly of "safety hinge" in particular. Wood behind safety hinge broke off easily, but thank God for Gorilla glue! The top of the lid may hit the blue jingling spinners and if not careful, the blue paint may rub off onto the box lid (green portion). Haven't used product much, but already have a few concerns, so not sure how long it will last w/our son after he is born. The sound of the jingles may get old...
Comment on this review
By first time mom
from Philadelphia
I have loved this product since we got it. It was very easy to put together (a little tricky in some spots but all do-it-yourself furniture is a pain sometimes). Great safety feature makes the lid stay open so little fingers arent trapped. Paint job is great and best of all my sons whole room is the 'jungle jingle' theme so it looks fabulous as a little extra feature. For now we keep extra blankets and sheets in it but it will be very handy when he is older for toys.
Watch the directions

About Me Education Oriented, First Time Parent, Working Parent
The product is great, my nephew loves it but watch the directions, they were backwards so it took a little longer than it was supposed to, to put it together!Other than that, it's fun!

Katie Corrado is a multimedia journalist and weekend anchor for CNY Central.
CORTLAND -- Cortland businesses are gearing up for the Jets' training camp, beginning with the team's arrival on Thursday.
Local restaurants are preparing for bigger crowds. "This is our third year with the Jets coming, so we kind of know what to expect," said Mike Spollen, co-owner of Cortland's Central City Bar & Grill. "So you know, we'll have the fryers on, the beers will be cold, the doors open and welcome to the fans."
According to the Cortland Chamber of Commerce, the team brought $5.8 million to the area in 2010.
Other local businesses and restaurants are also excited to have the Jets in town. "Other than what they add financially to the town, my business and other businesses on Main Street, they're a lot of fun," said George Seibel, owner of The Dark Horse Tavern. "They're good guys."
The arrival of Tim Tebow is also bringing added business to Cortland. Tebow t-shirts made at Bernard's Custom Logo & Trophy Source are being ordered by fans as far away as Virginia, North Carolina, and Florida.
Businesses are also happy to have the Jets back in Cortland after not housing the team's practices last year. "We hauled some merchandise out that we had stored away for last year when they didn't show up, so we're happy to get it out on the shelves for this year," said Jodie Wainwright, owner of The Bling Store.
The Jets are arriving in Cortland on Thursday and will have their first practice at SUNY Cortland on Saturday, July 28th.

Hey everyone. Here is a bit of kick ass info that passed my way that will make all of you out there (especially some in Dark Age who had previous involvement) happy! A blast from the past that is welcome to see!
It's confirmed and in production. A movie based on The Mutant Chronicles! We get to see Warzone on the big sceen (betcha never thought you would see that) with badasses Tom Jane, and Ron Pearlman headlining the cast and John Malcokvich, amongst others, signed on!
Here is the original cast anouncement that I picked up on....
And here is a recent update with a smuggled peice of concept art
Guys this is totally cool, and might bring more game concepts and worlds into being used in movies.
(Dreams of an Iron Kingdoms movie and dare I say *dare, dare* DA the movie! Ok it's about 10 years before that comes about but one can dream. )

Posted 10:04 PM 12/9/2012 : Toy Parade benefits Aviva Children's Services
TUCSON - Nearly 3,000 kids in CPS custody are getting toys this holiday.
Santa brought the gifts to the 31st Annual Toy Parade at Freedom Park.
The parade benefits Aviva Children's Services, a non-profit agency that provides services for children who have experienced abuse or neglect.
Motorcyclists from several different organizations came together to hold the toy drive, collecting toys for the children.
Bob Heslinga, Executive Director of Aviva Children's Services says, "we were wondering where we were going to find the funds not only to buy the toys, but also to collect the toys, so T.E.P. stepping in and doing it in the first class way has really been beneficial."
All of the toys and money raised from Sunday's event goes to Aviva.
Kids from newborn to 18 years old will receive gifts.

text: Marie (nee Wirtz) Winkel April 5, 1914- June 13, 2012 It is with heavy hearts and great sadness that the family of Mrs. Marie (nee Wirtz) Winkel of St. Mary's Villa, Humboldt, SK, announces her passing, on Wednesday, June 13, 2012, at her residence surrounded by her loving family. She was 98 years of age. Marie was born on April 5, 1914, to Louis and Elizabeth (nee Wourms) Wirtz at home on their farm in the Pilger district. She attended Canvasback and Old Pilger schools. After completing Grade 8, Marie stayed home and helped on the Wirtz family farm. At the age of 15, she pursued her love of sewing by taking a correspondence course. In her teen years Marie met the love of her life, Joseph "Joe" Winkel, and after a long courtship, they were married on July 14, 1940, in Peterson. The Winkels lived in Pilger for 25 years, and it was here that four children, two daughters and two sons, were born to them; however one daughter died in infancy. Marie was a seamstress out of her home and sewed for many people in the area. She also had a special talent and took great pride in decorating wedding cakes for friends, family and surrounding communities. In 1965, Marie and Joseph moved into Humboldt where she started working at St. Elizabeth's Hospital as a seamstress for the Elizabethan nuns and in dietary and later in laundry until she retired in 1979. Marie kept busy by tending to her nice, large garden which she would then preserve and can for the winter. In her spare time, she enjoyed bowling which she took up after retirement, watching baseball especially the Blue Jays, curling and quilting with her sisters. Marie and Joseph went on various trips to Las Vegas, Reno, Minnesota, Alaska, White Horse and quite often to B.C. to visit with their children and relatives. She especially loved going to rodeos with Joseph in their Datsun. In 1999, Marie and Joseph moved into the East Side Manor and in 2004, she joined Joseph at St. Mary's Villa. Marie will be lovingly remembered by three children and six grandchildren: David (Kathy) Winkel of Prince George, BC, and family, Clinton (Julie) Winkel, Jay (Tobi) Winkel, and Kim (Chris) Reed; Bruce (Gladys) Winkel of Saskatoon, SK; and Sharon (Larry) Renshaw of Thunder Bay, ON, and family, Kelly (Rob) Hatfield, Kari Renshaw, and Ryan (Gina) Renshaw; 10 great-grandchildren; two sisters and two brothers: Lorraine (Alois) Jaeb, Leander (Theresa) Wirtz, Lavina (John) Jackman, and Severn (Chris) Wirtz; sister-in-law, Marion Wirtz; and by numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins. She was predeceased by his her husband, Joseph Winkel; one daughter, Jeanette Winkel (in infancy); daughter-in-law, Sharon (nee Collins) Winkel; parents, Louis and Elizabeth (nee Wourms) Wirtz; three brothers and five sisters: Joseph Wirtz (in infancy), Rosella (Ed) Cody, Evelyn (Emmit) Cody, Annie (Leonard) Lohman, Marcel Wirtz (in childhood), Roman Wirtz, Bernice Wirtz (in childhood), and Dolores (Lukan) Grieman; brothers-in-law: Dennis Lukan and Joe Grieman; and by numerous in-laws of the Winkel family. The Prayer Service for Marie was held at St. Augustine R.C. Church, Humboldt, on Friday, June 15, 2012, at 7:30 p.m., led by Marlene VanDresar and organist Denise Germain. Scripture reader was Audrey White, and the eulogy was delivered by James Winkel. The Funeral Mass for Marie was offered at St. Augustine R.C. Church on Saturday, June 16, 2012, at 10:00 a.m., concelebrated by Fr. Emile April and Fr. Bernard Stauber. Others taking part were: Audrey White, cross bearer; Yvonne Cody, scripture reader; Gladys Winkel, intentions; Bruce and Gladys Winkel, gift bearers. An honor guard was formed by the St. Augustine Parish CWL members. Honorary pallbearers were "all those who shared in Marie's life." Active pallbearers were Randy Lukan, Aaron Lukan, Daryl Lukan, Randy White, Joseph "Buddy" Lohman and Leon Winkel. Interment took place at St. Augustine R.C. Cemetery, Humboldt, SK. Memorial donations may be directed to the St. Mary's Villa Foundation. Condolences to the family may be emailed to email@example.com. Schuler-Lefebvre Funeral Chapel, Humboldt, SK.

The brown wire comes from the input socket, while the white wire goes to the output socket, and the blue wire comes from the circuit's output. For those of you who have a Jim Dunlop Cry Baby wah, here's a pic of its switch.
The color code for a Cry Baby is as follows: The green wire comes from the input socket, while the purple wire goes to the output socket, and the two blue wires connect to the circuit's output.
Okay, back to our Vox wah.
1. Desolder all three wires.
2. Now look at the input socket.
See the two wires attached to the tip tag—the brown and green ones? The green wire is the audio-input lead for the wah circuit. Clip it so that it's no longer connected to the tip tag.
3. Take a 3"- 4" spare piece of wire, strip each end, twist the smaller wire strands at each end together to create a single, tightly formed lead, and tin both ends with solder.

Friday Poll: Do nuclear power plants scare you?
Far be it from us to contribute to media-fueled fear, but recent developments in Japan have made some reconsider the safety of nuclear power--or give it more thought than they ever had.
The 9.0-magnitude earthquake and the tsunamis that hit last week damaged the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, run by the Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco). The utility has been struggling to prevent a possible meltdown and release of high-level radiation, and the emergency has caused some people to flee Tokyo.
As helicopters took to the skies to douse the Fukushima reactors with water, Japan's Nuclear and Industrial Safety Administration raised its severity rating of the crisis from level 4 to level 5 on the International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale. That brings it on par with the Three Mile Island accident, which forced an evacuation of thousands and cost an estimated $1 billion to clean up. … Read more

There are new questions on whether or not -- will ever be justice for the four Americans killed in the Ben Ghazi terror attack.
Despite the president vowing action one of the only suspects in custody has been let free for lack of evidence.
That's a setback and -- it comes as we're getting word that secretary of state Hillary Clinton will testify about Ben Ghazi a little later this month but what about today.
Republican senator Johnny Isaacson at -- Georgia senator good morning to you and thank you for your time here.
Good morning bill can we now categorize this investigation has a cold case.
Well certainly with the release the ballot ours -- was that the nation that was released yesterday that's the last suspect it was in custody.
The fact that we didn't have inspectors on the ground -- investigators on the ground for two weeks before we finally acknowledge this -- a terrorist tactic not a spontaneous attack.
You know information like that goes -- pretty fast it's going to be difficult but there are questions that secretary of state Clinton must ask and John Brennan -- -- and John Brennan to.
And that is why the information that way gotten tables requesting more security never made the seventh for the State Department.
And while there appears to be -- accountability review board investigation told us.
A culture of push back in the State Department on those requests for more secure so you're you're saying that that is the golden question for Secretary Clinton when she testifies and what we believe will be about two and a -- weeks' time.
Absolutely because you know they they say there was a spontaneous attack for two weeks Susan Rice one on TV blaming it on -- Movie trailer it was only two weeks later they finally acknowledged it was in fact an organized attack.
During that two weeks most of the evidence that was on the ground -- -- -- aren't somewhat tarnished.
So we've got to reach construct the entire situation.
We -- need to find out who knew what wind and while the culture pushed back on that information when and where is -- where is that trail of evidence do you believe.
How will you determine whether or not.
The seventh -- the State Department which is where Secretary Clinton works.
Was aware of that question and knew that answer.
We'll secretaries go to testify and I'm glad -- -- -- better -- -- letter concussions better and we're we're glad she's coming back.
But we need to know the answer to that question bill while the information didn't make it or if it didn't make it while there -- -- response for more security in Ben Ghazi.
Recruit for Chris Stevens.
Listen to this in the hours after the attack.
At the White House.
Today we mourn for more Americans who represent the very best.
The United States of America.
We will not waiver in our commitment to see the justice is done for this terrible act and make no mistake.
Justice will be done the end of that statement how do you interpret that now four months later.
What it sounded like a commitment then is still sounds like a commitment that the actions of the administration don't follow the intent of that commitment.
We have got to hold their feet to the far we've got to get answers for the family of Craig's that you Cris Stevens.
And for those diplomats around the world bill that's represented United States of America and very dangerous places it does not -- the good message to have one of your diplomats killed.
Four months after they're killed or no answers and is even a question -- whether it's push back in the State Department.
On bringing security -- -- can you determine if -- there's an FBI team on the ground in Tripoli you know 500 miles away from Ben Ghazi.
And it is still appears that that's a hot zone to go into it and therefore invest items will not that has to be huge job and it was a fair and answers.
And Gaza is a very dangerous place but we have investigators and a lot of very dangerous places around the world.
And nothing is more fussing and getting the answers to why Chris Stevens -- and why we didn't have the intelligence necessary.
To be able to defend the embassy or the commission and -- Gaza when the attack took place just one more point on that do you believe the current Libyan government is willing and able.
And ready to assist in this.
I think there's a willingness but the ability to do it in -- Ghazi is very very equipment Gaza is a consortium that this Islamic radicals.
The extremist groups terrorist if you will.
It's 500 miles away from the -- -- government in Tripoli.
It's a very very dangerous place and even the government of Libya.
As difficulty operating -- van -- they do in the history there is not is not good to with the Islamic extremists that have been festering there for years one final question here.
You mentioned Hillary Clinton several times that are testimony how critical that is to you to figure and -- answers will you bring family members of the victims to do the same.
Get their story.
That's going to be -- determined by the chairman of the committee is investigation go on but I think secretary of state Clinton's testimony.
Will be the trigger for what happens next if we get some answers whatever those answers might be it may be necessary to bring the families for senator thank you Johnny Isaacson the Republican -- -- Georgia we've got some breaking news senator thank you for your time now.

The role of a psychologists is to find out why people do behave like they do, think like they do and feel like they do. Different psychologists will use different types of psychology to find out this information. These techniques involve counselling patients and some psychologists will focus on how the humans mind will develop.
The first lab which main focus was on psychology was founded by Wihelm Wundt all the way back in 1879, Germany. You will find that there are a lot of different sub-disciplines of psychology, all use different ways of understanding the mind, Social Psychology, Clinical Psychology, Cognitive Psychology and Occupational Health are all examples of sub-disciplines.
The typical image of psychology is the patient reclined on a couch, telling his therapist about his life, but there are a lot more things a psychologists will do. One type of psychologist will have the job helping professional investigators, investigate child abuse, this is a forensic psychologist. Another type is a legal psychologist; these will advise judges and act as a trail consultant, there are even psychologists that will work with professional sport players to help them enhance performance or improve and overcome barriers.
The type of psychology which main aim is to establish facts on the mind is known as a research psychologists, whereas an applied psychologists is the type that will help individuals with their problems.

Yom NCSY Photo Essay: No Captions Needed, the Photos Tell the Message
They say a picture tells a thousand words. The photos below tell many more words than that.
These are the photos of YOM NCSY 2013, held on Monday, July 30 at Mini Israel near Latrun, about a half hour from Jerusalem, in which more than 1,000 teenagers participating in NCSY's 11 summer programs in Israel assembled to celebrate their glorious summer; to confirm their commitment to their Jewish heritage and their love for their Jewish homeland; and to pave the way for the upcoming Jewish New Year and school year with a full complement of joyous memories to share with family, friends and teachers.
No captions are necessary. Please, look at these photos, and you can fill in the captions yourself.
Ok. We'll give you one word, which was heard many times during the event, as well as throughout the entire summer: "Awesome!"

Pope's Tavern at the Oxford Inn
Online Reservations
Enjoyed our meal, would request a table further from the bar next time, as it was a bit noisy. Pasta with white clam sauce was excellent, with a good number of whole clams. Chicken marsala was very good. House salad very fresh and tasty. Fresh bread with olive oil for dipping was great. Extensive wine list, bottles were half price that evening. Large dining room was attractive but very dark, with few diners, resulting in perception of dining in a large cavern.
It was restaurant week and the place was hopping! We were seated at what I considered to be the best table in the house! The wait staff were incredibly attentive and responsive... not to mention friendly but not chummy, which I despise... We would go back to Pope's Tavern OVER the other option in town... we absolutely loved it!
Great restaurant. Lovely dining room and cozy neighborhood bar Delicious food from flat pizzas on the pub menu to fabulous entrees on the main menu. The Chicken dish is fabulous! Never a disappointment!
This was our first visit but certainly will not be the last. Will surely recommend it to friends who will be traveling to that area. Good food and friendly service.
My husband and I went to Oxford for our anniversary and stayed at the Oxford Inn Bed and Breakfast. We made reservations for the restaurant onsite...Pope's Tavern and it was the best meal we had all weekend. The food is well thought out and the menu is small enough that the dishes are all executed properly and at a high level. I would consider driving over and hour to get there just for dinner. The chef was very personable as we had a chance to chat with her at breakfast the next morning. We loved it and will definitely be back.
Recommended by our nephew. Not a large selection but it was delightful. Husband had soft shell crabs over a southern succotash - best he ever had!! I had lamb chops which were a bit overdone but still delish. Desserts were the BEST- chocolate mousse and key lime pie - perfect endings. Great martinis! Awesome dining experience! Will be back next year!
This restaurant is my husband and my favorite restaurant on the mid eastern shore of Maryland. The food is very high quality and their preparation and presentation cannot be surpassed by other resturants making the same claims. It is not the least expensive, but worth every penny.
The food was terrific. Service very pleasant. Because of so many hard surfaces, the room was quite noisy.
We felt welcomed from the moment we stepped in. I'm very picky plain eater and they were able to accomodate without a hesitation. Will be back and will be our 1st stop!
Lisa's soft shell crabs, in season, and Eastern Shore succotash are the best ever!
excellent menu just the right amount of items. close to perfect service. a bit noisy and a bit close. the soft shell crab was perfection and couple with local succotash made it a bit beyond! The martini was perfect and the wine list wonderful. we had a wonderful evening and would without question return.
Consistent high quality. Wonderful friendly atmosphere..
Pope's Tavern is our favorite restaurant on the Eastern Shore. A couple of weeks ago we took good friends who had never been to Oxford before, and Pope's did not disappoint. The dinner was terrific. We had soft- shell crabs, rockfish and tuna. Not only was the fish and shellfish perfect, but you have to try the succotash. Best anywhere! Lisa is a tremendous chef and her husband Dan is a great host. If you need a ride from one of the Oxford marinas, Dan will pick you up in an old right-hand drive London taxi- "The Popemobile". We're making another reservation for this coming weekend.
Everything was just perfect--food, ambiance and service. Highly recommend this restaurant, and we will definitely be returning again!
The food an service at Pope's Tavern is too notch. My girlfriend and I are both in the food industry and had one of our favorite meals at Pope's. I had an amazing special of flounder cooked perfectly and accompanied by some of the greatest garlic mashed potatoes I have ever had. My girlfriend had the soft shell crab and we have not tasted a better soft shell crab before... And I am from Maryland! We asked for a recommendation on wine and was served a fabulous bottle that paired wonderfully with both our dinners. We both will highly recommend Pope's tavern to anyone headed to the eastern shore.
Imagine a place that goes that extra step to make sure your evening is as wonderful as it could be. Now, go two more steps and you'll probably find yourself at Pope's. At least, that was our experience. The tomatoes in the capresse salad were grown out back, the tuna was incredibly fresh, the crab cakes were perfection and the Eastern Shore succotash was sublime. They clearly know a thing or two about wine too - as the list read like a "Who's Who" - with a great variety. But, beyond the fantastic food and warm atmosphere is the thoughtfulness of staff and owners. Imagine being asked if you would like an after dinner cigar on the porch, or a ride back to the marina in the London Black cab -"Pope's Mobile"? It was above and beyond GREAT!
A wonderful evening. Great dinner, lovely atmosphere, superb wine list. A great find in Oxford.
Located in the quaint town of Oxford, in a beautiful historic Inn, going in the Pope's Tavern makes you feel like you are stepping back in time. Delicious fresh seafood, prepared skillfully in the Maryland tradition. The soft crabs and flounder melted in our mouths. Service was attentive friendly. If you arrive by boat, the Pope Mobile, an old london taxi will pick you up. Enjoy the beautiful porch for a drink outside for a view of the marina across the street.
Pope's Tavern at the Oxford Inn in Oxford, Maryland, is easy to miss as the road turns away from it just as it comes into view. Do not pass this spot by! Our dinner was divine from start to finish--and reasonable, too.
The swordfish was cooked to perfection, as was the filet.
Went in for our 5 year anniversary and they had my favorite menu so far. I had 4 courses because I couldnt choose due to all the great food options. Lisa the chef really knows what she is doing and would recommend this restaurant to anyone. Keep up the good work and hope to see you again soon
We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience at Pope's Tavern. My wife and I were visiting Oxford celebrating our 2nd wedding anniversary. Pope's was cozy and quaint respite from a cold, raw, wet off-season evening. We were greeted warmly by the bartender, who quickly procured a cocktail for us, and then left her post to coordinate our seating. We enjoyed a corner table in a quiet, almost empty dining room. Our meal matched the ambiance in it's warmth and heartiness. The Moules and Frites were a fantastic starter, and my wife thoroughly enjoyed her shrimp risotto. All in all, Pope's Tavern was exactly what we had in mind--fine dining served in a quiet, quaint and cozy atmosphere. Tres Bien!
Second time here! We're early diners so it was very quiet. Charming atmosphere. My oysters Pope style were very dry but tasty. Liver pate special was delish! Our Rockfish and NY strip specials were both excellent. Flourless chocolate cake wasn't as decedent as our last dessert there, but still great. Great place for a special occasion! Very good martini's and a nice selection of wines. We'll definitely be back!!
If you are looking for a quiet dining experience, Pope's Tavern is not the place. Although it is a small venue, a couple loud talkers can dampen an otherwise terrific experience. I would recommend going during the week when it is quieter than on the weekend. Do not order the Crème bruele for dessert as you may be disappointed.
Quaint Inn, just about 12 or 14 tables. Nice wine selection. Nice food presentation. Three specials of the evening besides the regular menu choices. The food was excellent-- well prepared and very tasty. The service was "spotty".....we were greeted quickly upon arrival, placed and received our drink order but then waited nearly 40 minutes to place our food order after flagging down our server. There was no apology or acknowlegement for the delay. There was a festival going on in the neighboring town which brought many visitors to the area but the restaurant appeared to be staffed appropriately to handle the crowd. Service improved as the evening progressed.
The meal at Pope's Tavern at the Oxford Inn was all that we expected it to be. This restaurant is a favorite because the food is always reliably delicious! The specials should be tried because they are creative and delicious.
Loved the food! Absolutely Awesome! Definitely tantalizes the tastebuds! A burst of flavor in every bite! A must try!

CDC now says 4,000 swine flu deaths in US
2 hrs 59 mins ago
ATLANTA Federal health officials now say that 4,000 or more Americans likely have died from swine flu about four times the estimate they've been using.
The new, higher figure was first reported by The New York Times. It includes deaths caused by complications related to swine flu, including pneumonia and bacterial infections. Until now, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had conservatively put the U.S. swine flu death count at more than 1,000. Officials said this week they're working on an even more accurate calculation.
The CDC says "many millions" of Americans have caught the pandemic flu virus since it first appeared in April.

I am going to tell you something that will chill your blood if you are a hunter and outdoorsman.
Fact: The future of hunting and outdoorsmanship is in the process of dying.
That is true and I can prove it. Go to any hunting camp in Texas and look at the people you see there. The vast majority of them will be middle age or older and the most of them will be beyond 50 years of age. The average age of the persons buying hunting licenses in the state of Texas, according to statistics from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, is mid-forties. Seeing a youngster in a Texas hunting camp is about as rare as seeing a whooping crane in your front yard.
The reason is simple; hunting in Texas has gotten so expensive that the average person cannot afford the money to take the kids hunting. When an average buck whitetail costs from $1000 to more than $3000, it is extremely difficult for Dad to take Joey hunting. Even cull bucks — pardon me, make that management bucks – which used to be free are now being sold for $1000 and up, sometimes very up. The fact is that hunting in Texas is on the verge of pricing itself completely out of the range of the average hunter. The result is that we are not teaching our children to love the outdoors, because it is just too bloody expensive.
I just did an Internet search using cheap Texas deer hunts for the search parameter. The first one that came up gives the price of a cheap hunt as $2000 for an 8-point buck that would score under 140 B&C points. That is precisely the kind of buck that Junior would probably shoot for his first buck. But he won't be able to because Dad cannot afford to pay $2000 for the boy to shoot a cull buck. That is simple math. According to the Census Bureau, the average income for a family in Texas is right at $50,000. That means that for Dad to let Junior shoot a buck, it would cost, if my math is correct, 4% of the annual family income. That is, if Dad doesn't care to hunt. If Dad hunts then the cost rises to at least 8%, or nearly a tenth, of annual family income. I don't know too many families that would sacrifice that much income to go shoot a cull buck or two.
Another outfitter on the Web advertises management deer hunts for $3750. What a deal — NOT! Still another offers trophy whitetail hunts for $1800.00, but if you shoot one with 10 points or more you get hit for another thousand bucks.
The consequences here are too dire to contemplate. With a dollar driven market for hunting in Texas, there is no new blood being introduced to the wonders of the outdoors. On top of that we have changed in the last 50 years from being a mostly agrarian society to a mostly urban society. This means that the majority of us are not in touch with the realities of making a living, such as the truth that for something to live, something else much die. That is an unshakeable fact. I suppose with the modern technology we could fabricate some type of chemical that would keep us alive, but that point in time has not yet arrived and we must kill to live. That even goes for vegetarians. Vegetables are alive, although they may not be alive in the sense that a deer or turkey is alive.
As hard as it is to believe anyone could be so ignorant and naive, many people today truly do not understand that the beef they buy wrapped in plastic in the supermarket was once a living, breathing, mooing, eating, slobbering, defecating cow that someone had to kill and someone else had to butcher. They don't even think about where it comes from; they just assume that it is made in some factory, I guess. This has caused a backlash against those of us who hunt, even though we are more humane and probably more sterile than the slaughter houses and butcher shops. Because we kill our own food, and do it with one of those evil guns, we are somehow throwbacks, cruel, mean and heartless. And you will not be able to explain to these people that they are just as guilty, if there really is guilt to be assigned, as we are. Just because someone else does their killing for them does not relieve them of the moral responsibility for that death. Ask any judge as he sentences the person who paid another person to kill someone for him. He is just as guilty as the guy who pulled the trigger.
Sorry, I have digressed.
The point here is that we are losing something so precious that it should be protected like life itself. We are the last nation in the world, that I am aware of, in which Joe Average can buy a hunting license and go hunting. In many states this can take place on publicly owned land, although in Texas it is mostly done on privately owned land. In most of the other nations it is the game of the rich and powerful. In some places they have their own private shooting reserves, like the Shah of Iran and his family used to have. If you aren't a king you have to be rich. If you aren't rich, you just don't hunt. Remember Robin Hood, who was outlawed for killing one of the King's deer?
We were, in the past, a nation of outdoorsmen who understood the balance of nature, what my Native American ancestors called the Circle of Life. This Circle of Life begins with our own young. When that link is broken the circle flies apart. And it is breaking down, rapidly. I prophesy that within the next 20 years (probably sooner) the "deer boom" in Texas is going to bust. All these deer ranches that were purchased by city dwellers as places to play during the fall will be for sale, if they aren't already. The sad part is that the big working ranches that these smaller parcels were once a part of no longer exist, and no one can make a living on a 500 acre ranch. In most places at least 5000 acres is required if a working ranch is to succeed, and even then the owner has to do all the work himself. It would take decades to put all the broken up ranches back together to where they would be useful for agriculture, assuming that there is anyone left who wants the backbreaking, dawn-to-dark life of a rancher. In the meantime we will be buying all our produce, including that plastic-wrapped beef, from overseas. This means that with each step the outlook gets worse and the U.S. becomes less self-sufficient. I can follow this train of thought out to the logical end and it scares the pants off me.
I really miss the days of the 1950s and even into the 1960s, when I could ask my friend the rancher if I could go hunting and he would smile and say, "Well, as long as you promise not to shoot the windmills or the cattle, go ahead. If you happen to see a coyote, be sure and shoot it. And if you do get a buck, I sure would like to have one of the backstraps." No money, no avarice, just friendship and trust. I do miss it so.

Dynamic stretching is a movement-based type of stretching. It uses the muscles themselves to bring about a stretch. It's different from traditional "static" stretching because the stretch position is not held.
Sports medicine experts consider dynamic stretching a better way to reduce muscle tightness than traditional stretching. But how do you do it? These videos introduce you to eight dynamic stretches that target different muscles and areas of the body. They provide tips on how to do the stretches and for how long.
