Falconry in Mississippi

On: By: admin

Most Mississippi sportsmen who go small game hunting for birds and rabbit use a modern shotgun and the appropriate sized shot and it has been this way for nearly three centuries. More than 357,000 Mississippi hunters aged 16 years of age and older take to the woods each year, a force larger that the peacetime army of Germany, Great Britain and France combined. However, of those hunters, only about 25 use a bird of prey instead of a firearm or primitive weapon to harvest game.

What is Falconry?

Falconry is taking wild game in its natural habitat with the use of a trained falcon. In past times, the term austringer or hawker was used for a hunter who did the same thing with a hawk or eagle, however today the term falconer and falconry is used for practitioner and the sport as whole. The hobby originated in the ancient world as far back as 2000 BC and predates the use of firearms for hunting by more than a millennium.

Do you have what it takes?

Falconry is time consuming and expensive. One must begin as an apprentice to the sport to and work up to being a general or master level falconer. Alan Mumbower, the regional biologist and guru of the MDWFP’s Falcon Program puts it like this on the states website to see if falconry is for you:

“Will you, can you, commit part of your waking hours to a creature who at the very best of times will merely tolerate your presence, is as affectionate as a stone, and at the worst of times will cause you heartache and puncture wounds? Can you commit to an average of a half-hour a day, every day, and two to four hours on a hunting day, regardless of school, family, or job — for as long as you have your bird?”

Being a falconer is more time consuming that many other hunting disciplines and it is a lifestyle change that affects you 365-days a year. Let’s face it, no matter how dedicated a hunter you are, you still don’t have to feed and take care of your rifles, shotgun or bow everyday no matter what. With a bird of prey on the payroll, you will.

How much does it cost?

The good news is, the most priceless item and the one that you could not perform the sport without is free. You cannot legally buy a bird of prey for hunting, and must trap your own in the wild. However, before you head out to the woods to capture your new feathered friend you must first file as an applicant for an apprenticeship. In the application you must pass a certification review and inspection where you have to show your Mews (indoor facility for your raptor), your weathering area where the tethered raptor can fly, your jesses (anklet) for the bird, swivel, leash, gloves, bath containers, perches, scales and other equipment needed to care for and train your animal. This equipment is very specialized and like all good hunting gear costs money. Before you even go shopping for your equipment however you have to pay set up with the MDWFP to take your written falconry exam based on Federal and State regulations, and pay your permits and fees of no less than $100 (good for five years) plus the cost of your regular hunting license.

Your apprenticeship.

Current Mississippi State regulations only allow the apprentice falconer, who has to be a minimum of 14 years of age, to trap their new bird humanly during approved times after all of the above tests, fees and inspections have been taken care of. An apprentice can only possess a red – tailed hawk (the most commonly used for new falconers) either a red-shouldered hawk, or an American kestrel. The new falconer must train their first animal and use it for a complete hunting season before they move on to becoming a general falconer after two years. During this time you must work and be sponsored by a Master Falconer, by definition a sportsman with at least eight years of experience in the sport. General Falconers may possess two raptors and hunt without the tutelage of a master. Master falconers may possess three birds.

The payoff.

The two dozen Mississippi falconers that pursue this ancient sport would largely have it no other way. For their time, effort and money invested they are modern day beast masters who are literally one with nature. Many Mississippi falconers practice this most extreme of all bird hunting and use their raptors to take duck and dove as well as squirrel and rabbit effortlessly and with great majesty that must be seen to be appreciated.

Great Swan Songs: Five Bands Whose Last Album Was Their Best

On: By: admin

The term Swan Song, a metaphor for a final gesture or effort, often gets used when the year comes to a close. It was actually quite a few months before the New Year back in October, when veteran Boston designated hitter David Ortiz enjoyed his swan song by playing out his final season with the Red Sox against the Cleveland Indians in the American League Division Series.

A more appropriate use of swan song occurs when it regards musicians, to whom it applies in a literal sense. For instance, David Bowie recorded his swan song this year, an album called Black Star, released just a few days before his death in January.

The record was well-received by critics as well as fans, and the track Dollar Days is one of the sweetest songs in his discography. Black Star, however, pales when compared to Bowie’s very best albums. The disc Scary Monsters and Super Creeps from 35 years ago remains the best, along with Hunky Dory from 1972.

Rarely is the swan song of a band or artist the best album of their career, but several groups have actually made last albums that excelled all of their previous releases. Here are five of those bands whose last album was the best in their catalogue.

The Hoople by Mott the Hoople

Guitarist and co-founder Mick Ralphs had left before this record, so vocalist Ian Hunter took sole control of the glitter rock quintet. Tunes like Alice, Marionette, and Roll Away the Stone made this last album the best in their impressive catalogue.

Look? Hear? by 10cc

Their biggest hits, like I’m Not In Love, Dreadlock Holiday and The Things We Do For Love, preceded this album. Nevertheless, all ten songs here could be pop hits as, unlike their other records, there are no duds on either side of this vinyl.

Dandy in the Underworld by T. Rex

The title track became an instant classic when, shortly after the record was released, front man Marc Bolan was killed in a car crash.

Lost Without Your Love by Bread

David Gates and his hit-making group had broken up in 1972, but thank goodness they reunited six years later. The title track became a huge hit, and Change of Heart might just be the best song about a guy in a love triangle.

Good Times by the Monkees

Mickey Dolenz, who had an excellent voice at the band’s sixties heyday, some how sounds even better now. The dozen songs here, written by an All-Star cast including the guys themselves, make this collection of new stuff better than any of the band’s previous albums. Those oldies like Headquarters were certainly goodies but, unlike this disc, they were all a bit flawed. Even Davy Jones appears posthumously to sing lead on Love Takes Love, a previously unreleased song from a session in the sixties.

Fashion Myths Debunked – 7 False Beliefs About Fashion That Can Cramp Your Style

On: By: admin

Somewhere in your developmental fashion years, a parent, schoolteacher, nun, or another member of the fashion police drilled certain rules into your head about what you should or shouldn’t wear. And you believed them. But according to fashion design experts, most of these rules are just myths. Not only are they untrue, they can be detrimental to your wardrobe.

Here are some rules you can finally start breaking!

Myth #1: Don’t wear white after Labor Day. All right, let’s put this one to bed right away. White is not only acceptable, it’s actually quite stunning in the fall and winter. Remember that white comes in many shades, some warm and some cool. The warmer whites add drama to a post-Labor Day wardrobe, and when the white comes in a cozy fabric like cashmere, it’s definitely a “fashion do.”

Myth #2: Horizontal stripes make you look fat. Although people have blindly believed this myth for decades, it’s scientifically proven to be wrong. A psychologist at York University recently showed that horizontal lines do not make you look fatter; and if anything, can make you look thinner. He was confirming the findings from a 19th century physicist who first investigated the optical illusion that horizontal lines look taller and narrower than vertical lines.

Myth #3: Don’t mix patterns and stripes. Whoever made this up obviously didn’t go to fashion school. Mixing patterns and stripes makes for an absolutely fantastic look. Just keep proportions in mind, so if one pattern or stripe is bold, make the other more subdued. The contrast is quite fashionable.

Myth #4: Your shoes should match your bag. Let’s face it: if you match your shoes with your handbag, you will look like the Queen dressed you. She probably wants you to wear matching gloves, too. If you have to match your bag with something, it should be your clothes, but even that is not necessary.

Myth #5: Baggy clothes hide the fat. People are not fooled by that muumuu. While baggy clothes may hide the figure, the result is a shapeless silhouette that can actually make you appear larger. Form-fitting clothes that show off the curves without being too tight are actually more flattering.

Myth #6: Black looks good on everyone. Not necessarily. Color experts argue that only one in five people have the cool, pale skin tone that looks good with black. People with warmer skin tones look washed out in black, as the color takes away all the golden tones from their skin.

Myth #7: Men’s shoes should match their belts. This one’s a toughie, as many men may face resistance from those who swear by this rule. But shoes do not need to match – they should coordinate with the belt. Imagine if you had shoes that were tan or white. It would be difficult finding a tan or white belt that was an exact match. But you would find brown or black belts that coordinated with them.

The only true rule in fashion design, then, is that rules were made to be broken. You’ll find that debunking the myths may be the best thing you ever did to your wardrobe.

Products and Advancements in the Anti-Aging Marketplace

On: By: admin

HGH is produced naturally, in everyone, by the pituitary gland. After the age of 23, your natural HGH levels begin to decline and you may start to experience the affects of aging. This includes weight gain, decrease in energy, lack of sex drive, low endurance, muscle atrophy and more.

HGH therapy comes in several forms. The first is by injecting Human Growth Hormone directly into your bloodstream. This invasive procedure can only be prescribed by a physician. Injectable HGH therapy was originally intended for children with stunted growth but physicians soon correlated the benefits to be helpful in trying to offset or delay the aging process and resulting health risks associated with getting older. Doctors are now liberally distributing this substance to elderly patients seeking to slow the effects of aging. The main problem associated with injectable Human Growth Hormone is that it often costs upwards of $3000 a month. That’s $36,000 a year and it is not covered by insurance. Additionally, this invasive therapy comes with some health risks. Side effects such as allergic reactions, fever, and swelling are just a few of the risks associated with the injectable form of therapy.

Due to the steep costs and risks of certain side effects associated with this invasive form of therapy, explorations of alternatives have become popular. Alternative HGH therapies include “All-natural supplements, including capsules, powders, and sprays. There is one very important point to understand about these types of Human Growth Hormone therapy. They do not offer “actual” HGH. The only way to get actual Human Growth Hormone is by having it injected directly into your bloodstream via syringe, physician, and prescription. I have seen, in this crowded marketplace, several products promoting themselves as “HGH” in a spray. This is impossible because HGH is a large unstable molecule that cannot pass through the membranes in the mouth. Furthermore, it is illegal to provide true-form HGH without a prescription. The goal of alternative therapies is to stimulate your own body’s pituitary gland to produce more Human Growth Hormone on its own. These all-natural therapies have several benefits. Whether the HGH therapy is termed “all-natural”, “homeopathic”, or spray form, the fact is that these alternatives are only around 2% of the cost of the injectable Human Growth Hormone.

What should I choose?

With HGH alternative supplements saturating the market, it is very difficult to make a decision as to what is right for you. What is the most effective, safe, practical, and affordable solution available? Sprays remain suspect because of the premise behind them. As stated earlier in our report, we have found that is impossible for a spray to deliver actual HGH sublingually. Furthermore, administering accurate doses sublingually presents a challenge for sprays. Additional drawbacks are the potential binders and fillers that are present in this form of therapy. Lastly, taste remains a concern with all sprays. Powders are less popular and prevalent on the market. Having to measure proper mixes and portions is a hassle that I would prefer not to deal with but may be a preference for those that find pills and capsules intolerable.

Most of the “all-natural” capsules, pills, and tablets are similar in what they promise to offer. I have found that Ultimate HGH(TM) and GenF20(TM) HGH releasers are two of the more popular and effective HGH supplements, in capsule form, that stimulate your own pituitary gland to produce more HGH naturally. Neugenisis(TM) is new to the market but offers its HGH releasing formula infused with rich antioxidants promoting additional Wellness benefits. Additionally, Neugenisis(TM) is promoted in a package that includes another logical Antiaging product, a topical anti-wrinkle cream. Neugenisis(TM), on its own (individually) measures up well to all the stand-alone HGH releasing products available. Neugenisis(TM) is different in that it provides additional antioxidant properties and is an effective product in a system that was created to offer the most Antiaging benefits available. New research suggests the benefit of combining all-natural HGH releasing compounds with skin rejuvenating topical crèmes.

The Longevity System

With higher HGH levels come improved elasticity of the skin, strengthened nails, and enhanced skin rejuvenation. One of the main ingredients in all the HGH releasing products mentioned is L-Arginine. L-Arginine is involved with the production of new skin and connective tissue. It is essential to the formation of collagen and boasts many benefits that relate to skin repair and rejuvenation. NeuLife Laboratories has brought a new combination to the market and offers the “Longevity System”, featuring a high-grade HGH releaser in caplet form, Neugenisis(TM) (with active ingredient L-Arginine), and an aggressive topical anti-wrinkle crème, Neuderma(TM). Neuderma (TM)compliments the HGH benefits provided by Neugenisis(TM). Neuderma(TM) is an aggressive topical anti-wrinkle cream which includes the benefits of Pentapeptide technology (Matrixyl and Argireline). In my research, I have established that both products, Neugenisis(TM) and Neuderma(TM) , can stand individually as “A” list products but as a system, Neulife Laboratories has created a niche that, up to this point, has not been filled. Both, HGH releasing supplements and skin crèmes, can run upwards of $100.00 each. With this new system, you get the all-natural HGH releasing supplement and the topical Antiaging, anti-wrinkle crème, for approximately the same cost of some individual products.

If you can tolerate the costs and potential side effects of invasive HGH injections, this form of therapy may provide the quickest benefit of Human Growth Hormone. If you seek alternatives, sprays and powders have more limits than potential benefits. It is my opinion that a system of therapy, including a HGH releaser and a topical wrinkle crème, can provide the ultimate package for those seeking Antiaging benefits. NeuLife Laboratories has introduced the “Longevity System” to provide the comprehensive benefits that many seek but seldom find.

Airsoft Sniper Rifles – Spring Vs Gas

On: By: admin

Many people often wonder what the differences are between gas airsoft sniper rifles and spring airsoft rifles. Besides the obvious fact that one is powered by a spring, and one is powered by gas, there are actually some other important factors as well. But above all else, it is fair to say that the biggest difference between gas and spring powered airsoft rifles is usually the price. For example, a good spring airsoft sniper guns usually costs about $100 – $125, while a good gas airsoft guns generally costs about $175 or more in most cases.

Also, another important thing to consider about gas airsoft guns is the fact that they almost always shoot at a higher velocity than a spring airsoft sniper rifle. Generally the higher end spring airsoft sniper rifles shoot at around 450 FPS, while the gas airsoft rifles usually shoot at 500 to 550 FPS. It is also worth noting that a bolt action gas airsoft gun is much easier to cock than a spring powered rifle; this is because with a gas airsoft gun there is no heavy duty spring to cock back for each shot. You still have to pull back the bolt with a gas powered rifle, but it is much easier to operate.

Another very important thing to consider is the fact that all spring rifles are single shot only, meaning that they have to be cocked for each and every shot, while a gas powered airsoft sniper rifle can be semi automatic. However, many of the gas sniper rifles are still made as single shot bolt action rifles, which makes them much more realistic. And again, the single shot gas powered airsoft rifles are much easier to cock than the spring airsoft rifles. This may not seem very significant, but it can definitely make a difference in airsoft games where you end up doing a lot of shooting. You would not want your arm to become tired during an airsoft battle!

As far as accuracy goes, most people will agree that the accuracy of a spring airsoft rifle is pretty much the same as gas airsoft sniper rifles, but there may be a few that disagree. There isn’t much evidence to really support any differences in accuracy between the 2 types of airsoft rifles, but it is safe to say that you should most likely be using slightly heavier airsoft BBs with a gas powered airsoft sniper rifle, due to the fact that they usually shoot at a significantly higher FPS than the spring powered airsoft rifles. The faster an airsoft gun shoots, the heavier the BB you will want to use, to achieve maximum accuracy. This is especially true at longer distances.

Conclusion? If you have the extra money you may want to consider a gas airsoft sniper rifle, as they shoot a bit faster than the spring airsoft sniper rifles, and are easier to cock as well. However, the spring airsoft rifles are certainly an excellent choice if you don’t want to spend the extra money, and it is arguable that they are a bit more durable than the gas airsoft rifles. Also, if you want a semi automatic airsoft rifle, then spring airsoft sniper rifles are not for you, as they are single shot only.

Ripped: How the Wired Generation Revolutionized Music Review

On: By: admin

I just recently finished reading the book, Ripped: How the Wired Generation Revolutionized Music. I’m kind of mad at myself for waiting so long to read it. It’s been in the “to read” pile for a long time and I just got around to reading it. It’s a fantastic look at the evolution of music over the past 20 years or so. From the rise of indie bands like Death Cab for Cutie and Bright Eyes, to Prince’s record label, to mp3’s and the “pay what you want” model introduced by Radiohead and NineInch Nail’s Trent Reznor.

I can’t honestly say that I remember much about my 7th grade history class. I couldn’t even tell you my teacher’s name, let alone what we “learned” that year. The one thing that I do remember is that there was a banner hanging above the chalk board. It read, “Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”

If you are going to be a musician today, then you need to understand how the music industry has changed so that you can try to figure out where it’s headed. Sure it’s great to know about the writers in Tin Pan Alley from the late 1800’s to the early 1900’s; it’s important to understand radio’s role in the emergence of popular music and how payola controlled that; it’s important to know that the first video ever aired on MTV was The Buggle’s “Video Killed The Radio Star” (seriously think about that for a minute).

In the last 20 years, the music industry has changed more than it has in nearly its entire existence. Or, certainly in this century. The current music industry that we operate in is still changing at a rapid pace. There’s speculation on the extinction of CD’s within 2-3 years, there’s been a major resurgence in vinyl (who saw that coming?!), the major record labels as we knew them may cease to exist within 5 years, mp3’s and file sharing are now a good thing and a major source of world-wide distribution (what?!).

Greg Kott’s “Ripped” is one of the most fascinating books on current music history I’ve ever read. He jumps right in with the first chapter about the major consolidation that all of the big 5 (at that time there were 5 major record labels, as opposed to the 2 1/2 there are now). This was a huge shift in the record industry at the time. It scared a lot of artists and put a lot of people out of work.

Greg does a great job in detailing the consolidation of the majors, the rise of indie bands, the fight against and for sampling on hip-hip records and new mashup records and artists, Prince’s record label and his do-it-yourself approach, the rise of mp3’s and the fall of Napster and the “pay what you want” model that Radiohead started with “In Rainbows,” that Trent Renzor “improved” upon.

I don’t want to give too much away, because I want you to be able to enjoy this book. It isan enjoyable book. It discusses in detail the many things that have happened over the past two decades that have changed the face of the music industry dramatically.

You can read each chapter as a vignette about each band or person or aspect of the industry. But when taken as a whole, “Ripped” reads more like a cautionary tale with a hopeful ending.

“Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”

The Characteristics Of The Real Estate Market

On: By: admin

The real estate market is the economic sector that involves the buying and selling of infrastructure such as buildings either for residential purposes, business premises, and the industry segment. Like any business sector it is susceptible to the economic forces of supply and demand. The main people involved in this field include the owner, renter, developers, renovators, and the facilitators.

This sector has a number of characteristics that are specific to it. Real estate is durable since the buildings can last for many years while the land it stands on is indestructible. As a result the supply is composed of a large share of already pre-existing stock and a tiny percentage of new development. Thus the stock varies in price only according the deterioration, renovation, and the new development coming up.

Stock in this sector could be referred as heterogeneous since every piece is unique. All buildings are different in terms of the location they are situated in, their structure and design as well as how they are financed. Change in this field takes quite a long time. This is as a result of the long duration involved in financing and construction of new property.

The real estate has the very unique feature in terms of the buyers in this market. The property can be purchased either as an investment with the expectation of earning returns or as a consumption good with the thought of using it. Individuals could also invest in the market for both reasons whereby they use the property for a while before selling it at a profit. As a direct result of its dual nature, there is a high demand since individuals tend to over-invest in this sector.

Immobility is yet another characteristic unique to this sector. The properties as well as the land it lies on are both immobile. As a result there is no physical market place meaning one has to go to where the property is situated. Therefore this issue makes location a prime factor before investment.

The main factor in demand for property is demographic, that is the population size and growth. The demographic composition plays a huge role in determining the demand and as a result the price. The performance of the economy also affects the performance of the sector since it plays a role in the ability of investors to take loans and mortgages for financing their business ventures. Naturally, the pricing determines the level of demand in the sector.

There are a number of ways to finance investment in the real estate market from government and commercial institutions. Financial aid can be obtained from commercial banks, savings banks, mortgage brokers, life insurance companies and other financial institutions. However, the best practice still remains getting funding from your own savings.

In view of the recent real estate market crash it is best to follow some guidelines. As a buyer ensure that the price you pay for the property matters a lot as well as the ability to dispose of the purchase later down the road. If not it is advisable to downsize your mortgage to be on the safe side. As a seller, identify when it is the right time to put your property on the market in order to avoid low offers.

Top 5 Best Kaskade Songs You Don’t Want To Miss

On: By: admin

Ryan Raddon (aka Kaskade), in addition to being the #1 DJ in the United States (according to a 2011 DJ Times poll), the world’s #30 DJ (DJMag Top 100 DJs poll, also in 2011), is, in his own right, a chart-topping producer as well.

With 9 artist album releases and countless top remixes, there are myriad songs to choose from to determine a top 5 list. However I’ve got 5 that I think represent Kaskade’s best work. I’ve included a couple of remixes here because, well, they are fantastic and you won’t want to miss them.

Here’s the countdown:

5. Call Your Girlfriend (Robyn — Kaskade Dub)

This gem of a remix did not make it on the commercial release of Robyn’s album, but, this track is definitely “hands in the air,” and the drop is fantastic. This one can be found on Kaskade’s Soundcloud page.

Favorite moment: the drop. First one is at 1:27.

4. Be Still (Love Mysterious)

This song was released as the first single from Love Mysterious, which was released in 2006. It topped the Billboard Dance Club Play chart at #4. American singer Sunsun provides the very fine vocal work. Be Still also features some great guitar work throughout, a rarity in electronic dance music (EDM).

Favorite moment: 1:56. The start of the build up into the last refrain of the chorus. Backing guitar complements Sunsun’s gorgeous voice here. Also 3:04, the guitar solo. Rockin’ in a House tune. Couldn’t be better!

3. Room For Happiness (Fire & Ice)

I had never heard of Skylar Grey before I bought this album. But the combination of her passion-filled vocal rendition, the meaning-laden lyrics, and a pounding beat makes for a great song.

Favorite moment: 3:16. The break/bridge.

2. Love Is Not Enough (Above & Beyond — Kaskade Remix)

Kaskade’s remix of this track from Above & Beyond’s Group Therapy album is, not to put too fine a point on it, fantastic. The original mix was already top-notch, and Kaskade has add his brilliant and unique touch and made this into a favorite of mine.

Favorite moment: 3:40 the build-up into the last chorus. And overall, the piano. I love piano in EDM, and this is the perfect touch for this remix.

1. Don’t Stop Dancing (Dynasty)

This album, like most of Kaskade’s artist releases, is brimming with fantastic music. But the track that stands out to me is this one. Kaskade worked with EDX on this track, and Haley provides the excellent vocal work.

Favorite moment: the syncopated pikes throughout. Just love em. They provide the drive through this track that makes it so irresistible.
