sits in trees

yes i would have to say that is it in a nutshell...

OOOhhhh boy, here we go again, 40 pages of Ted to follow folks....

nailed alot of big deer on Long Islands east end. i used to live in East Hampton before i move upstate. Couldnt take the crowds and too many nature lovin anti's.

beautiful country over that way, love the river and that windy road! Gotta love NY state for it beauty.

Unfortunately if there wasnt a market for stolen trail cams no one would bother stealing them. Now what group of people do you suppose supports the market for stolen trail cams?

Sorry to say but it really looks like we are Doomed. no lol on that one.

You know this is not an uncommon analogy i have heard from many a rifle hunter.

If this fella can even find a 20 yard spot with a good backstop and a block target he can be well on his way. For a general guideline if you are zero'd at 20yds you will be shooting about 3 or 4 inchs lower at 30yds, and thats pretty much true for all but the very fastest bows...

This all sounds good, see we can all get along if you just keep us apart, lol.

Teachers making 78k a year isnt the problem, i agree that anyone with a masters should be making that even though thats not the case anymore, plenty of master degrees being put to good use flippin burgers at McDonalds in our new economy. The problem is having to take care of you teachers and your spouses till you die. Why should we have to flip the bill for your lifetime of health benis and your pensions because of a deal i had nothing to do with? Heck woman are living to 100 today and female teachers are no exception, that adds up to one big pile of clams for me and my kids to have to pay in taxes. Take care of your own retirements and health benis when you quit or you may well lose your job, thats the way it seems to be going anyhow because no politco dares mess with your unions, they just stand back and watch education budgets ruin and bankrupt townships and peoples lives instead of making the needed adjustments to keep things on an even keel..Well that should be enough to send Pav packin for another week or so, lol.....i gotta go and listen for GOBBLERS, see ya!

No Snapple lid dude, just every UPS driver i have ever known since i was old enough to get UPS packages delivered to me personally for about 30 years now as late as a 7:30 at nite. ask the next UPS guy you see coming up to your front door about how many hours he works a week and if he can refuse working those hours??UPS driver start their day at a terminal hours before you even get out of bed, like 5:30 loading and organizing their parcels, and you will see them driving around till well after dark any day of the week.Man you teachers really live on another planet dont you?

Did any of you ever think maybe we as Americans just dont deserve good health care. We say we dont want Gov touching our healthcare and yet we are the ones who elected the very schmucks into office. The Republican party tells us that gov should not run health care, But they are the Goverment!!! So they are basically telling you, yea elect meeee but dont trust or expect me to do a damn thing??? The more crap i here from politically baised media and talk show hosts and the more i see Americans taking sides behind these criminal politicians the more i think yea we get what we deserve, and this is it, a Piss Poo Educational system, Piss POO health ins and healthcare. We are without a doubt turning into a third world nation.

UPS guys work a mandatory 60 hrs a week.

Im all for criminals and Illigals just not receiving any form of free health care, even though we all know that will never happen here. But we have a huge % of our public who simply choose not to get insurance. Example a 30 year old says well my employer doesnt offer it or the 30 year old owns a startup business and doesnt want to pay 13 thousand a year for health insurance because he says "well i dont own a house and im healthy so what can they take from me??" and i will just take my chances. Not only that we have millions of people getting these half assed super high deductable policies(10 to 20k out of pocket) then they get sick and claim bankruptcy.The leading reason for Bankruptcy in America is sickness/medical expenses by people who dont have insurance and are not eligible for any free medicaid. So its folks like me who have always done the right thing and made sure me and my family have quality ins that are forced to fill in the gap for people who dont pay. That % of people who dont pay are increasing every year because the working poor population who are not eligible for medicaid in America is growing.

And i wouldnt be surprised if there is some last minute deal that helps preventing teachers from being laid off..I can see the headline now, " Last Minute behind closed doors Deal save Teachers Jobs in Kingston" which to me means, ahh lets just raise taxes more...

I would like to have the freedom of choice to not have to pay for people who dont want to get health insurance with the ever increasing cost of my own health inurance. So that is why i think the mandate to force slackers who dont wanna pay for their health care is GOOD!

Dude dont you realize your argument is completely diminished when you post stuff like this.

Pav you are a teacher, so your healthcare insurance is paid for by others and you pay close to nothing for superior health care. If you work in the private sector or worse self employed in the US you are most likely paying 8% or more of your salary for your health insurance anyway when you add in copays and deductibles and that is with crappy care?

I do have some fond memories of my teachers as a child growing up on Long Island, but man i just cant afford you guys anymore??lol... I like how the school enrollment has decreased by some 30% and they continue to operate the way they did when they had 3000 more students?????????????

Holy Cow, Read This! Times Herald-Record Published: 2:00 AM - 04/12/12 KINGSTON — Some 81 Kingston school employees will likely be without a job come fall. Superintendent Paul Padalino's first budget puts the district under the tax levy limit, but axes 37 teachers, 42 teaching assistants, an assistant principal and one bilingual family worker. "We continue to operate like a 10,000-student district while we're only a 7,000-student district," said Padalino, who took over the top job in January. Kingston schools now have 220 teaching assistants and roughly 700 employees. The job eliminations will be achieved primarily through boosting class sizes to 21 in the primary grades and 25 in the secondary grades, Padalino said. Instructional cuts will be limited to some Advanced Placement courses and pre-kindergarten for three-year-olds. "These are the changes we need to make to be effective and efficient," Padalino said. The district's tax levy would rise 2.5 percent under the $143 million 2012-13 budget. Kingston faces a state-mandated tax levy limit of 3.2 percent. The school board will vote on this budget Wednesday. Kingston expects to save $1.4 million by shutting Meagher Elementary School and voted Wednesday to authorize the sale of the central administration building. The Uptown Kingston headquarters have been appraised at $560,000. Next year, Kingston will consider shutting two of its 10 remaining elementary schools after Meagher closes. Nine of the employees that would lose their job work at Meagher, with the other 72 coming from the district's other schools. Despite all the teaching positions on the chopping block, Padalino wants to spend $125,000 to restore an assistant superintendent for business position vacant since June 2010. "As things are changing in education, the responsibilities in that office grow," he said. Board members also doubted that students will be take to take AP courses online or through the Board of Cooperative Educational Services. "It's going to be hard to offer that selection of (AP) courses or even close," said board Vice President Matt McCoy. "In reality, they're going to get cut." Just four of Kingston's AP courses enroll more than 10 students, Padalino said. Most board members, though, indicated they'd support the budget with cosmetic changes. "I really think it's a good budget," said Maureen Bowers.

Why can Germany make their health care/insurance work at a cost that is almost 1/2 of ours and nobody goes broke when they get sick, and why do they get quick immediate quality care that we could only dream of in this country. Why are people from all over the world starting to go to Germany and France for the finest in surgical procedures? Why? If they have what is called socialized medicine and it is so horrible why are they outliving us and not having their homes and everything they have ever worked for takin from them because they get sick? I gotta know?

Good show!

This is scary, plus all over 65 on social security, and better than 1/2 of the countries healthcare is being paid for by someone else. and thats not to mention people who choose not to have insurance are being paid for by us in our health insurance premiums...My family coverage went up to 13 thousand at the beginning of the year?

One quick word on social security/medicare. If any of you know any old folks, then you know theres so much waste in that system it aint even funny. My 78 year old mother in law who happens to be in pretty good health sees a foot Dr, a blood Dr, a bone Dr, a Chiropractor, and about 2 or 3 others that i dont even know what they are called doctors,and also her GP. And she see's them all every month with a doctors appointments or 2 every single week? She is sent for countle$ tests every year that show nothing, she takes about 2 dozen pill$ a day, and in the area of Fla where she lives they build and build more medical facilties??? And almost everyone over the age of 65 in Fla does the same thing. So now when one party either Republicons or Democraps tries to do something about waste in Medicare the other side go's friggin beserk with OHHHH they are rationing ole folks or they wanna pull the plug on grandma? and absoultly nothing ever happens to trim the costs and WASTE in medicare which costs use billion$ a year.. I give up.

The health insurers and big pharma give the money to the people they want in Gov (and im talking billions right to Romney and Newt and the likes of them) and yea the teachers unions are funding Obamy's run. i think by saying that gov controls health ins and health care is like the tail waggin the mutt.
