10 Reasons To Spend More Time Outdoors

Do you spend too much time cooped up in front of the TV? Maybe it’s time to get out and explore the great outdoors.

1. Is the stress of everyday working life starting to have an impact on your morale? If so, why not escape the confines of the city and visit the countryside for a slower pace.

2. Do you long for fresher air? City life brings with it many benefits, but it also brings more pollution and traffic. The countryside offers fresh, clean air that’ll make you feel brighter.

3. Do you long for peace and quiet? Cities and towns, by their nature, are very noisy, so if that’s getting too much and you need to clear your head, where better than the great outdoors?

4. Do you love wildlife? If so, you’ll find the rural areas to your liking, with both animals and nature in rich supply.

5. Are you tired of commuting every day? If you like the idea of taking some time out from trains and roads to sample a simpler life, the outdoors has it all.

6. Would you like a friendlier existence? Cities can be fairly lonely places, even if you are surrounded by people. In country towns and villages, however, you’ll find everyone’s ready with a welcoming greeting.

7. Are you a budding photographer? If so, you’ll find plenty of inspiration with the scenery and wildlife offering up amazing images.

8. Do you want to show your children a greener world? If your little ones have grown up in a suburban or city world, they may not have fully experienced the great outdoors first hand. They’ll love going for walks, riding their bikes and even playing sports.

9. Are you a rambler at heart? The countryside is full of mazy walks, hills and climbs to let you explore on foot. What’s more, it’s perfect for clearing your mind.

10. Have you always been tempted to give fishing or shooting a try, but never got round to it? Well now is the time to give it a go. You’ll need the right clothing and equipment, but once you do, you’ll be hooked.

If you are ready to give those sports a go, why not browse fishing bags, rods, reels and other fishing equipment today? Likewise, if you need shooting clothing start drawing up a list of what you need.

John Musto: Chamber Music $10.17 John Musto is a composer and pianist who is well known as an accompanist to recital singers in the New York area and as a participant in chamber ensembles. He is a highly skilled pianist who has roots in jazz and in the great American show tunes and whose endeavors as a composer of serious music came rather late in his development. Musto’s 2004 comic opera Volpone was widely praised and his 1997 song cycle Dove Sta Amore considered for a Pulitzer. Although Musto has established his reputation in vocal music, Koch’s The Chamber Music of John Musto surveys his developing interest in chamber forms. Musto could hardly wish for a better advocate in the players in Music from Copland House, crack chamber musicians who are residents at Copland House, a retreat for composers located at Aaron Copland’s former home in Cortlandt Manor, NY. If there is anything good in Musto’s chamber music, this group will be certain to bring it to the fore.Musto’s work does not reek of conservatory-bred academicism; he has stated that he is “a self-taught composer but not a self-taught musician” and his music is the direct outgrowth of his work as a player and interpreter. While his music, such as the opening movement of his Sextet for clarinet, two violins, viola, cello, and piano, can be rather discordant and biting, Musto employs traditional formal development schemes and listeners always know where they are in the music. The layout of the second movement of Musto’s Trio for violin, cello, and piano is very emotionally and psychologically pleasing, even if the piano tends to dominate the texture of the first movement. In places where tonality is more ambiguous, the rhythm takes the lead, a stylistic hallmark of all three of these pieces. At points, Musto enjoys utilizing rather distorted, almost comical, musical ideas, but he is not immune to lyricism and his work does have its occasional nod to romantic tendencies.The most engaging of these pieces is the Divertimento for flute, clarinet, viola, cello, piano, and percussion. Bartók is an obvious influence, but Eastern European folk music is not — Musto loves jazzy phrases and a “big city” kind of New York cosmopolitan idiom; frequent critical comparisons made between Musto and the music of Leonard Bernstein seem particularly apt in such instances. One hates to resort to other names when writing about young composers on initial recorded outings, but it seems useful to mention that if the listener is fond of the music of Paul Schoenfield or Osvaldo Golijov works such as Dreams and Prayers of Isaac the Blind, then this disc of chamber music by John Musto should prove highly satisfying. ~ Uncle Dave Lewis , Rovi Performers: Danielle Farina – Viola; Derek Bermel – Clarinet; James Baker

The Shooting $8.49 Monte Hellman reinvents the Western genre with THE SHOOTING, a cryptic tale of revenge that has become an underground masterpiece of existentialism. The story follows Willett Gashade (Warren Oates), an ex-bounty hunter who returns home searching for his brother, only to discover that he has disappeared. He is met by Coley (Will Hutchins), a frazzled cowboy who is recovering from having witnessed the murder of his best friend. When a beautiful but tempestuous mystery woman (Millie Perkins) arrives, Gashade reluctantly agrees to escort her through the Utah desert. Along the way, Gashade begins to suspect that she is trailing someone, which is confirmed after Billy Spear (Jack Nicholson), a ruthless bounty hunter, joins the party. Unsure of their target, Gashade and Coley continue to inch forward, leery of Billy Spear’s menacing presence. When Gashade finally discovers the hunted victim, he is left stunned and bewildered. Hellman’s subversive, enigmatic tale, shot concurrently with RIDE IN THE WHIRLWIND, assures the director a place in Western history. Nicholson and Oates, who appear in almost all of Hellman’s early films, slip into their roles with the ease and smoothness that has turned them into acting legends, giving cinephiles yet another reason to call THE SHOOTING an unadulterated classic.
