Brazil vs Germany, first semi final of FIFA 2014 , was bound to trigger a response from the Amul ad line.But it would be to commemorate a 7 – 1 win for the Germans over Brazil (!!!) was unthinkable & inconceivable to say the least!
Brazil – 5 time World Champions &the 'eternal & sentimental' favourites' (hosts of the FIFA World Cup 2014) were taking on the 'ruthlessly clinical ' Germans in the third ever meeting between the two nations at the World Cup. Brazil had won on both occasions, with the most recent being the 2 – 0 win over Germany in the FIFA 2002 World Cup Final.
Current form was in favour of Germany as they had been efficient in swatting away all opposition.And Brazil had been scrappy & were coming through after two emotionally draining matches against continental rivals & were without their talisman Neymar (injured) & stellar defender & Captain,Thiago Silva (suspension).
The hosts were the underdogs in 'The Game' of the tournament so far.
By this time, Lalu Yadav, an innovative Indian, had already set sail with a milion buffalos ,specially trained, to storm the pitch if things did not go in Brazil's favour.
Armed with the knowledge of the buffalo contingent being available to shore up flagging fortunes,Luis Felipe Scolari, Manager of the Brazilian Team set into motion his strategy.He realised that the buffaloes,once on the pitch, will need guidance to execute their task so he included two Brazilian buffaloes in the starting line up – namely Fred & Hulk.Both these bovine clones behaved like clowns on the pitch for 90 minutes & simply waited for the buffaloes to arrive!!!
What about football???Well,the Germans were playing football isn't it?Within the first 15 minutes they had scored their first goal! Thomas Muller scored the fifth of this tournament & 10th in 12 World Cup matches!
Scolari now asked for the buffaloes to be brought in.He was politely informed that the ship carrying the Indian Buffaloes had not even made it past Indian customs! This had an unnerving influence on Scolari & the Brazil players. They immediately anointed David Luiz & Marcello as the buffaloes in charge for storming the pitch!!!
Now with four bovines on the pitch Brazil was seemingly in control & would surely restore the situation by running around aimlessly & waiting for a miracle to happen.But my friends,buffaloes don't play football!Now Brazil were left to play with 7 against the German Wehrmacht! Even out of these seven,six decided to enjoy the German grace & their mechanical precision as they had the best seats in the stadium & left the football to Julio Cesar,the Brazil goal keeper!!!Wish someone had discussed with him as well 🙂
Cesar played football for the full 90 minutes.But he doesn't have any recollection of what transpired between minutes 23 & 29 in the game.He refuses to believe the television replays showing four goals being scored by the Germans in a Blitzkrieg 6 minutes!It all began with the goal in the 23′ which perched Miroslav Klose at the top of list for the the all time goal scorer in the World Cup.
Cesar also disputes the fourth goal.He claims its a replay of the third goal (both scored by Kroos) & that the Germans need to play & score & not rely on TV graphics!!!
By the 29th minute the German draw of lots had thrown up the name of the defender Kheidra to score next & he obliged immediately, leaving the four buffaloes & six player cum spectators with nothing to do other than give bemused looks! It would have been better had they 'moooed' together.That would have been the only teamwork demonstrated by Brazil other than putting to shame their rich football legacy & break millions of Brazilian hearts.
Till sometime back Scolari could be seen bearing a caption which read " Brace yourself – The 6th is coming!" (alluding to the quest for the 6th World Cup win).Again no one told this to Cesar & the 6th did come ,but a goal,thumped in mercilessly into the back of the Brazilian net by the German substitute Schurrle in the 69th minute.
He seemingly did not like his own effort & bettered it by scoring the 7th goal of the match in the 79th minute!History had been made.It was the biggest victory margin for any team in the semi finals of the FIFA World Cup!And after this the ignominy & misery of the Brazilian spectators was complete.And to compound things they started chanting "Ole" at each completed German pass!
Now i was a German too & fervently wished for an 8th goal.It did happen but was made by the Brazilians when they finally pulled one back through Oscar.
It is this sequence of events which has inspired the Amul ad strip.It shows a reeling goal keeper lying in the back of his own posts with seven footballs around him.The silver – grey dress & # 12 on the keeper are depicting the Brazil gloveman Julio Cesar & the seven balls around him are for the number of goals scored by the Germans.
The Tag Line…Arre O Samba, Kitne Goal Thhe?…is a creators delight.The line simply translates into a man named Samba(depicted by the hapless goal keeper) is being asked by the Amul Girl as to how may goals were scored? Its inspired from the plight of the Brazilians who are from the land of the Samba.And also appealsto Indian movie / Bollywood buffs who have grown up on the famous lines of the villain Gabbar Singh (Amjad Khan) from the movie 'Sholay' asking his henchman- Sambha (Mac Mohan)- the same question,but about his adversaries & not goals !!!
The Punch Line..Hum Ek-Saath Hain…depicts the final score line of the match; 1-7 as 'ek' is 1 & 'saath' depicts 'saat' which means 7 in Hindi! The hyphen in the phrase has been intelligently placed to give it a score like look.The line itself is again based on a Bollywood title -Hum Saath Saath Hain !
This was Brazil's first loss at home in 12 years.Its first loss at home in a competitive match in 39 years.Its biggest defeat in FIFA World Cup ever.Its biggest defeat since 1920 when Brazil lost to Uruguay 6 -0.And of course the biggest victory margin for a winning team in a FIFA World Cup semi final match.
The Germans had their numbers too.They scored more goals than their last 6 semi final appearances.They scored more goals than England has in its last two FIFA World Cup campaigns.They have now scored a total of 223 goals at the World Cup,more than any other team.
The defeat has been a disaster & the semi final turned out to be a humiliating fiasco for Brazil.They missed Thiago Silva in defence & Neymar in attack,They also started with bovine equivalents rather than footballers.Substitutes Willian,Paulhino & Ramires came in the second half & provided respectability to the Brazillian game.They should have started the match as the first 11 & not substitutes.Fred & Hulk should have been locked up in the nearest cowshed or their kidnapping organised through the good offices of the Al Qaeda & ISIS.David Luiz,,well he doesn't need to explain his idiotic display as NASA is doing him a favour by attempting to decode his preposterous performance.And as for Marcello, he has been awarded honorary German citizenship for his role in assisting the Germans in securing 5-0 first half lead.Some of the current players will never recover from this defeat & some will never feature in the canary yellow jersey again!
This loss for Brazil will rankle for decades to come just like their loss to Uruguay at the Maracana in the 1950 World Cup Finals is still talked about, only this disaster unfolded a match earlier in the tournament.The Brazil players were overawed & unnerved by the weight of the expectations & proved easy picking for the Germans.The Manager, Scolari erred in selecting the correct combination & overlookin experienced Robinho & Kaka.
The game at Belo Horizonte will be remembered for the day football died in Brazil The day when the Die Maanschaft inflicted the 'Shame of Shames' on the Selecao!
After the loss at the Maracana in 1950 the Brazilians had even ditched their all white gear to do away with any reminder of that painful loss to Uruguay.
One can only hope that Brazillian football will recover from this loss or else they will find themselves in wilderness for a long time to come.Brazil's President Dilma Rouseff sums it up well
" Like every Brazilian,I am very,very sad about this defeat.I am immensely sorry for all of us.Fans & our players."
In the end I thank the Germans for reminding us through their display in winning 7 – 1, that football remains a beautiful game.
Last heard , the buffaloes have started their journey & are presently swimming across to Brazil with Lalu Yadav in tow!

Readers offer their best tips for quicker copying and pasting using your mouse and AutoHotkey, toggling displays with a hotkey in Windows 7, removing tarnish from silver, and keeping your laptop cool.
About the Tips Box: Every day we receive boatloads of great reader tips in our inbox, but for various reasons—maybe they're a bit too niche, maybe we couldn't find a good way to present it, or maybe we just couldn't fit it in—the tip didn't make the front page. From the Tips Box is where we round up some of our favourites for your buffet-style consumption. Got a tip of your own to share? Add it in the comments or email it to tips at lifehacker.com.au.
Use Bottle Caps to Keep Your Laptop Cool
Bambang tips us off to a free and easy way to increase air circulation with laptops:
Got this inspiration because I feel the temperature under my laptop is quite hot. Since the original laptop stands are low, the air circulation is not good for heat release. And I got this idea after seeing bunch of plastics waste in my house. Well, why not use the bottle caps for laptop stands? I also use them on top of a broken file binder that I use to prop up the laptop when I use it in my bedroom.
Mouse-Based Copy/Paste Shortcuts with AutoHotKey
Ruwan shows us a quick mouse-based copy/paste shortcut he made with AHK:
Here's a little script I created to make the Windows Copy/Paste tasks much easier. It uses AutoHotkey to work and given below are the instructions on how to use it.
Copy something to the Clipboard
LEFT click and drag to mark the selection (be it some text in the browser, files & folders in explorer, a section of a picture in MS Paint, etc) and without letting go of the LEFT Click, press the RIGHT mouse button.
Paste whatever is in the Clipboard
Click and hold the RIGHT mouse button where the clipboard content needs to be pasted, and without letting go of it, LEFT Click to paste the content of the clipboard.
Now here's the script:
#IfWinNotActive ahk_class ConsoleWindowClass bAllowOverride := False
~LButton:: GetKeyState, keystate, RButton If (keystate = "D") { SendInput {RButton Up} SendInput {Escape} SendInput ^v bAllowOverride := True } Return
RButton:: GetKeyState, keystate, LButton If (keystate = "D") { SendInput {LButton Up} SendInput ^c bAllowOverride := True Return } SendInput {RButton Down} Return
RButton Up:: GetKeyState, keystate, LButton If (keystate = "D") { Return }
If (bAllowOverride) { bAllowOverride := False Return } SendInput {RButton Up} Return
Toggle Displays in Windows 7 with a Hotkey
Garrett shares a tip for switching displays with a hotkey in Windows 7:
Win + P in Windows 7 is great for technophobes, but with use of a command line and switches to set up hotkeys, I've just saved myself the $US40 I would have spend on UltraMon to do the same thing. I just set hotkeys in the IntelliType software for my Microsoft Keyboard using the following command:
With the parameters
/internal /clone /extend /external
Clean Tarnished Silver with Aluminium Foil and Baking Soda
Dunvi gives us an easy way to remove tarnish from silver with the power of science:
The way jewellery shops and normal people remove tarnish (Ag2S) from silver is by taking silver polish (an abrasive) and pretty much scraping it off. Alternatively, they may use a solution of HCl to do something, which involves removing the layer of tarnish. Unfortunately, this means that you're removing material, and for thin or very precious objects (such as earrings, lockets, etc.) they'll flat out refuse to help you... or possibly try and end up just destroying it (I know this how?).
Well, my chem teacher had a different suggestion. She said to take a sheet of aluminium foil, spread a baking soda solution on top, and then place the tarnished surface on top, and voila!
The way this works is, aluminium is above silver in the activity series. The baking soda solution creates an electrically neutral environment (I think this is what she said about the baking soda, anyway) for the ions to move in, which allows the silver and the aluminium to do that fancy electron swap thing you might remember as oil rig from chem 101. Anyway, the result is that the sulfide ditches that silly silver (presumably to go and hang out with the obviously much cooler aluminium instead) and leaves you with nice silver fancy things - with all the silver still there!
I haven't actually tested this myself yet, (since while I do have tarnished silver, I don't have aluminium foil or baking soda), but a really, really fast Google search suggests I'm not pulling this out of nowhere.

The fire, which broke out Sunday afternoon in the San Bernardino National Forest, prompted the evacuation order of the sparsely populated Summit Valley area east of the dam.
The fire was burning about 55 miles east of Los Angeles in a remote area near Silverwood Lake, a state recreation area, near the small mountain community of Crestline.
U.S. Forest Service spokesman Robert Taylor said 20 mph winds pushed a huge plume of smoke north toward the Mojave Desert.
Officials warned that air quality may reach unhealthy levels in the areas affected by the smoke.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.

NBA Street V3 Review
NBA Jam is possibly one of the most remembered sports games ever, and for only one reason - over the top dunks. Acclaim and Midway hit gold when they released it to the arcade and home in the nineties. Recently it was revived in a fairly impressive game but lately EA has had the wood on the game with their street series. Coming out every other year, EA has managed to build up an impressive arcade title that still retains quite a few simulation aspects. NBA V3 is the best street balling game period, and that is impressive considering the highly competitive market it has been thrown into. So why is it the best? There is no need to look past a combination of EA's vast fortune and licensing, and some fantastic game mechanics.
Street ball for those unfamiliar with the sport is completely different to the traditional style of basketball. The first change is that it's three on three rather than five on five, but the court remains the same size meaning players get tired quicker, alleviated by the fact fatigue is not a factor in V3. The general aim of the game is to reach 21 points before the other team but there are rule changes - points outside the circle are worth two points while those within only worth one meaning the game is longer than some might expect. Now that street ball 101 is over lets get into why V3 is so impressive.
In terms of game modes the game comes across as quite lackluster, only offering three. It's once you delve past the initial options that a lot of depth begins to shine through. The main game mode is a street conquest where you are given seventy in game days to prove you're the best baller team around. Usually time limits in game's detract from the overall experience, but in Street V3 it seems to be balanced quite well. It is not a case of having to skip tournaments to make the deadline, and there is a variety of rule changes to keep the game fresh such as dunks only which offers up some eye candy for the player.
The other game modes basically break the street conquest into individual game types of dunking, street ball and practice where you can tune your moves. The best type is the dunk mode, which is far more impressive than it was in NBA Live 2005. They seem to have really worked on what they had in Live and created perhaps the best dunking competition ever. You jump in the air (with or without obstructions) and use the right analogue to perform crazy, but realistic moves before a dunk and are then marked on creativity. The dunks are the signature move of the game as you would expect with arcade games with the NBA players and legends having signature moves during gamebreakers, which work much like they do in NFL Street, and can destroy an opponent's chances in a single dunk.
The game itself plays in a fast paced manner compared to Live and the court is a lot more open with only three players. The right analogue stick in a game situation is used to perform a number of tricks which builds up the gamebreaker meter. This is balanced by the fact that ball control during these moves is restricted, so players can jump on a loose ball quicker and turn the ball over. While the game doesn't really differentiate itself from many other baller games, it just seems to flow much better. Perhaps it's the presentation of the game and graphics but it just seems to take it to the next level when compared to something like NBA Ballers.
The game contains multiple licenses despite the fact it's not a simulation of the sport. You will find the stars of the NBA featured to play in exhibition games as well as legendary players which you unlock with points earnt via your reputation. The characters animate extremely well, pulling off their moves in a believable fashion rather than going over the top and taking the game into a true arcade spectrum. The courts however are not licensed, but with the court creator you can make your own for your team. There are a lot of custom options in the game such as changing the rules, changing looks of players through to making your own style of shoes.
The visuals of the game are perhaps one of the best aspects of the game with a cartoon style used to animate the players with the courts looking a bit more realistic. The style has come off extremely well with the game looking impressive with not many graphical problems or pop up to speak of. The commentary is provided by a non-professional commentator and you will either love it or turn it off, there is no middle road. Players grunt and call for the ball sometimes but most of the time you will be listening to music, once again provided by EA Trax.
NBA Street V3 is the game that NBA Jam probably should have been last year. EA has really created the best balling game thus far with a better storyline than NBA Ballers and better gameplay than NBA Jam. If you want the best, then NBA Street V3 is no doubt that - with its conquest mode and significantly improved dunking competition, it features everything a street balling fan would want.

Is your growing waist-line earning some notorious attention when you step out of the house? Are you mostly found sitting in front of television munching that packet of chips and coke which you bought on the way back home from office? Long office hours and job demands leaves you too exhausted to indulge in any kind of physical exercise. Learn why physical activity is important to control obesity.
Studies reveal that people who lead a sedentary lifestyle are more prone to gain weight as compared to those who engage in regular physical activity. Obesity is a serious health concern because of its link to several other chronic health conditions. It is becoming more of an epidemic with the bad work-life balance, eating-out trend and increasing use of gadgets to complete routine chores. When you have a car at your disposal, who'll like to walk even for a distance of 1km!
Imbalance between energy consumption and expenditure is largely responsible for excess body weight. As meals become lavish with growing income and access to resources, time and energy to exercise shrinks. This is the prime reason for the growing cases of obesity. Exercise plays an important role in controlling obesity because it is a variable component in the outflow of energy. Exercise helps to burn calories and increases our energy expenditure. Thus, changes in the physical activity will help to alter body weight and gives long-term sustainable results.
Evidence proves that 30-60 minutes of physical activity (per day) of moderate intensity improves health benefits in terms of controlling body weight. One should participate in at least 60 minutes of moderate intensity exercises like walking to maximize weight loss and avoid weight re-gain. Exercise is also known to show significant benefits for cardiovascular system and metabolic rate.
Therefore, it is advised to include exercise in your daily routine to maintain a healthy weight for your entire life. Here are some general exercise recommendations:
Perform 20-30 minutes of exercise for at least three days in a week.
Cardio exercises are very common for weight loss. These include crossfit, interval training, kickboxing, and power yoga etc.
Start with shorter 10-minute sessions of a moderate intensity and then progress to more vigorous ones for longer period.
Check with your doctor especially if you are suffering from asthma, heart problems or joint pains.

Partner Natalie Hanlon Leh and Counsel Natalie Pous author this Bloomberg Law article, the third in a series of five articles written by WilmerHale discussing how the emergence of Internet of Things technologies will impact the automotive industry. The first article in the series, " The Developing Landscape of Internet of Things Standards for Cars," was published on November 5, and the second article, " IoV Technologies as Patentable Subject Matter After Alice," was published on November 20.
Excerpt: As outlined in prior articles in this series, the Internet of Things (IoT), or the connection of a variety of devices to collect and exchange data through the internet, has broad potential to impact the automotive industry. The IoT is changing how users interact with cars, for example by connecting smart devices to cars or incorporating sophisticated user interfaces that can control everything from navigation to streaming music and self-driving and parking features. Moreover, the IoT appears set to fundamentally change how technology is developed for the automotive industry. Read the full article.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances.

Its audacity was brazen and apparently fearless. Among its high—profile victims were Sony, the CIA, the FBI, the US Senate and even the UK's Serious Organised Crime Agency. Exposing frailties in government and corporate networks, the group leaked hundreds of thousands of hacked passwords, and in the process garnered more than a quarter of a million followers on Twitter. But after just 50 days, on 25 June, LulzSec suddenly said it was disbanding.
Just hours before this announcement, the Guardian had published leaked internet chat logs revealing the inner workings of the group, which appeared to consist of six to eight members. The logs showed that authorities were often hot on their heels, and that after an attack on an FBI—affiliated website two hackers had quit LulzSec as they were "not up for the heat". As media attention mounted, Ryan Cleary, an Essex—based 19—year—old suspected of affiliation to LulzSec, was arrested in a joint UK—US "e—crime" investigation. Had the pressure simply got too much to handle? To find out, the Guardian tracked down one of LulzSec's founding members, "Topiary". A key figure in the tight—knit group, he was revealed in the logs to have managed LulzSec's Twitter account and to have written their press releases. After verifying his identity by asking him to send a direct message from the account — "This is the captain of the Lulz Boat," he confirmed — we began a long conversation by Skype.
"I know people won't believe this, but we genuinely ended it [LulzSec] because it was classy," he says. "The leaks we promised happened . . . 50 days were reached, we just about hit 275,000 Twitter followers, things were on a high, so we redirected our fans to [hacker collective] Anonymous and [hacking movement] AntiSec and wrapped it up neatly . . . A high note, a classy ending, a big bang, then a sail into the distance." LulzSec's jovial public image undoubtedly helped it achieve unusual popularity within a short time. Its stated aim was to provide "high—quality entertainment at your expense," and the word "Lulz" is itself internet slang for laughs. The group's popularity spiked after it planted a fake story on US news outlet PBS.com in protest over what it claimed was a misrepresentative WikiLeaks documentary made by the broadcaster. The story falsely reported that rapper Tupac Shakur, who was killed in a shooting 15 years ago, had been found alive and well in New Zealand.
"What we did was different from other hacking groups," says Topiary. "We had an active Twitter (controlled by me), cute cats in deface messages, and a generally playful, cartoon—like aura to our operations. We knew when to start, we knew when to stop, and most of all we knew how to have fun." But the group's mission, Topiary explains, was not calculated. Almost everything LulzSec did — from choosing its name to its next target — happened spontaneously. "We made it up as we went along. We were originally @LulzLeaks on twitter, but I forgot the password so we became @LulzSec. My first name was The Lulz Train, then The Lulz Cannon, then The Lulz Boat. I had no idea what The Love Boat was, it was a complete accident . . . I wrote every press release in Notepad without planning. That's what made us unique, we just came out and made stuff up out of nowhere . . . We released when it felt right, we tweeted what felt right, we wrote what we felt needed to be wrote. We weren't burdened by plans or board meetings, we just did it." The leaked chat logs also revealed the hackers appeared to revel in the international attention they received. However, Topiary says it wasn't that LulzSec was media—hungry, but that the media was LulzSec—hungry.
"We didn't contact a single media outlet for at least the first 40 days, they just kept reporting on our humble tweets," he says, though he admits the attention "gave us more reasons to leak more. It was a thrill, sure, and it did play a role. We enjoyed occasionally confusing and pranking media with weird tweets, or giving exclusives to certain journalists to piss off other certain journalists. It was another aspect of the situation that helped us leverage the entertainment." Yet although many of LulzSec's attacks were perpetrated "for the lulz", the group was accused of attempted extortion by one US security company, Unveillance — a charge Topiary staunchly denies. It was also criticised after it hacked and dumped thousands of Sony Pictures Europe customers' usernames and passwords online, some of which were reportedly later used in scams by fraudsters. But Topiary is unapologetic.
"It's Sony's fault for not defending — and encrypting — its customers' data," he says. "Similarly, in a perfect world, we'd have dumped said data and nothing would have happened. These scams simply prove that other people (our fans/spectators) are more evil than us." Towards the end of LulzSec's reign, it seemed to gravitate towards more overtly political causes. It occasionally compared itself to WikiLeaks in tweets, and its penultimate leak was a joint effort with Anonymous to expose Arizona police as "racist and corrupt", and to "sabotage their efforts to terrorise communities fighting an unjust 'war on drugs'" Anonymous is well known for its acts of political "hacktivism". On Monday it reportedly threatened to attack the Metropolitan police over News International's phone hacking and the possible extradition to Sweden of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. Earlier this year the group claimed responsibility for a series of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks on government websites in Tunisia, Iran, Egypt and Bahrain, and in 2008 it attacked the Church of Scientology after it allegedly attempted to suppress a leaked video interview with actor and scientologist Tom Cruise. Topiary has been heavily involved with Anonymous in the past, occasionally acting as its spokesman in televised interviews.
"Anonymous has been a great way for the younger generations to get involved through methods they understand, like utilising the internet," he says. "My main goal with Anonymous was to spread the word of revolution to those who might be seeking something new." How does he define revolution? "Revolution is kicking the Tunisian government in the teeth by rendering their malicious Javascript embedments inert, allowing Tunisian citizens to surf Facebook without fear of password sniffing. Revolution is a horde of activists holding up Anonymous masks and thanking us for assisting their hard work by obliterating their government's ministry, stock and finance websites, replacing them with inspiring words. Revolution, to me, is bringing down the big guy while not forgetting to stand up for the little guy." Though Topiary will not disclose his age, he describes himself as a teenager and "an internet denizen with a passion for change". He believes he is part of a generational shift in the way technology — specifically the internet — is increasingly being used as a tool to influence the world. The actions of Anonymous in particular, he says, have brought attention to the idea that actions taken online can have a major impact in real life — "linking the two realities". But he also recognises that the actions of Anonymous, LulzSec and other affiliated hackers can be used by governments as justification for greater control of the internet. So how does he balance his actions with that knowledge? "It only results in greater government control if we remain apathetic and let it happen," he says. "The goal with Anonymous is to brutally cut down the middle of that decision and shout 'NO' to laws we don't agree with. Laws are to be respected when they're fair, not obeyed without question." For now, however, Topiary is taking a break from law—breaking. He says he will continue operating on the margins of Anonymous, but will not engage in any more hacking. Instead, he intends to create art, video and graphics for the group to help with a new public relations project, to be titled Voice.
"I've been at this non—stop for a while, it's a big time—sink," he says. "Some people can handle it for years on end, and I respect those people. I just needed some air and a new page in the Anonymous/LulzSec era." After the arrest of Cleary last month, suspected US hackers believed to be affiliated with LulzSec had their homes raided in Ohio and Iowa. In the past, hackers have been offered immunity from prosecution if they cooperate with the authorities. But, if caught, Topiary says he would "never snitch" on other hackers and that he would "pretty much" rather go to jail than work for the government in any capacity.
"Not sure I'd have a place in government security, unless they enjoy bizarre tweets," he says. "But again, no, I wouldn't accept a job that would fight against the things I've fought for. As for the authorities, well, if they have their claws in, they have their claws in, there's not much I can do about it. But I can only hope that they haven't pinned any of us, especially my friends from LulzSec."

Ahead of the Curve
Beth over @ Chinoiserie Chic is predicting Flamingo art is trending into the fast lane. So excited! For me they have always had a sweet spot. See her post here ~ she has some killer inspiration. Audubon Flamingo reproduction above is from Allposters; Beth posted on it here more than a year ago. Such a WOW welcome & receives lots of oohs & awes. Plus it makes me happy, happy, happy every time I walk through the door. Dana Gibson Bargello Pagoda Lantern & front door colors were coordinated to work with the print. Dragon rug; bought on eBay years ago, dragons help ward off evil so you def need them near your entrance way.
Love my little flamingo trinket box below.
Vintage print below was found @ a roadside flea haunt & seems to work right along with the wallpaper.
Here are more of the wallpaper colors; Cole and Sons of London.
Beth has some great Pinterest Boards on these magical feathery creatures. Check them out here.

Hello, guys
I'm currently working in a project to integrate a system I've developed with Qualys with the API 2.0.
While I was running some tests with the Host Detection API I got stuck in this situation:
I ran a script which called the API, downloaded ALL DATA from hosts and its detections and stored them in my database. Then I noticed that there were no "Fixed" vulnerabilities in my results. I checked the API's documentation and found out that in order to get Fixed Vulnerabilities information I must provide the parameter "status=Fixed" in the url. OK then, I called the API twice again, one time with "status=Fixed" and one time with "status=Active,New,Re-Opened,Fixed".
Guess what: None of them returned any fixed vulnerabilities.
So I went to the web UI and check if everything was okay. By going to Assets > Host Assets and clicking on the "Info" button for a few hosts I was able to see their lists of vulnerabilities and remediation tickets and this is what I found in ALL HOSTS:
All of them show 0 Vulnerabilities fixed. ALL HOSTS IN THE SUBSCRIPTION (which are 1500+).
And each host has plenty of remediation tickets with the status of Closed/Fixed (and I'm 100% sure that there were no authentication failures or any problem that could prevent the scanner from detecting a vulnerability as Fixed).
At this moment, I have 170000+ Remediation Tickets with the status of "Closed/Fixed".
So, the question is: Why do all hosts show no vulnerabilities marked as Fixed though I have so many remediation tickets closed/fixed? Is there any feature I must enable? Is this a bug of Qualys? Should I open a case for this?

Batiste / Dry texturising spray / *
I haven't been loving a lot this month mainly due to being super busy with the Hull Bloggers meet up I organised but I have picked out a few favourites that I have been loving.
I have been wanting to try out the Lee Stafford hair growth treatment for so long after a recommendation from Megan ( student-stylexo.co.uk ). I am really loving using it, its very moisturising, it smells lovely and I do think it is doing the trick. Im going to carry on using it and see if there is a noticeable difference but I think there is a bit so far.
I picked up a new Mac lipstick the other weekend during my visit to Chester. It is the perfect colour for me, I absolutely love it !
You may know that I now have a new job so on my last day working at T J Hughes I had a little shopping spree and this Roberto Cavalli fragrance was something I picked up. It smells divine and was a bargain too for this huge 100ml bottle. Im not sure if its available in any other store however you can pick it up on Amazon.
And finally I have been loving the new products that have been released from Batiste. Im not sure exactly when they will be available in store however I would 100% recommend that you go check them out ! I LOVE the texturising spray, I have used it so much and I know it will be a firm favourite for months to come.
What have you been loving this month?

Introduction: Set Up Wifi on a Raspberry Pi Zero From Your Mac and Nothing Else
The Raspberry Pi Zero is an impressive piece of kit.
Weighing in at just 9g and small enough to fit in your pocket it has a 1GHz Arm processor, 512MB of RAM, a micro-SD card slot, input/output pins a mini HDMI socket for 1080p video and can be connected to Wifi using a USB Dongle.
So, like us you might have rushed out to get one for your latest project only to discover that setting it up is not as easy as it sounds. So, if you're looking for a simple cost-effective and repeatable way to set up a Raspberry Pi Zero read on.
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: What's the Problem?
The attraction of the Raspberry Pi Zero is to buy the minimum kit including a power supply, Raspberry Pi Zero, mini USB Wifi Dongle and an SD card with an operating system like Raspbian.
To connect the Raspberry Pi Zero to your Wifi network you need to change some settings and add your network details. The easiest way to do this is to plug a powered USB hub into the single micro USB port and connect a keyboard, mouse and the Wifi dongle and then an HDMI monitor and use the Graphic User Interface of Raspbian to connect to your Wifi. But wait a minute...
...I bought a Wifi dongle with a micro USB connector so that it can connect directly to the Pi Zero in my project. So, it won't fit into the normal sized USB ports on a hub. I could use a dongle with a normal sized USB but now I have had to use a powered hub, a keyboard, mouse. monitor and another dongle just to get up and running.
There must be a better way!
Step 2: Get Full Access to the Raspberry Pi Zero SD Card
After lots of searching around we came across a little publicised method for updating settings on the Raspberry Pi Zero that only requires one piece of software. It costs less than all the other peripherals together and can be used at any time with nothing more than your computer or laptop.
The key is that the files that you need to access on the SD card that runs your Raspberry Pi Zero are usually hidden. If you put the SD card in your computer some files will show up but the ones we need are not readable.
What you need is a file system driver that bridges between your computer's OS and Linux. There are several available but we chose Paragon ExtFS as it is one of the few that works with Mac OS.
Once you've installed the software you can put the SD card into your computer and two volumes will appear; root and boot. You'll probably need to use an SD card adaptor (our micro SD card came with one) so beware of the little lock feature on the side (shown in the image above). We lost a whole afternoon trying to figure out why we couldn't access the root folder before we realised that pushing the adaptor into the slot on a Macbook often slides the lock across!
Step 3: Use Terminal to Update the Settings
Now that you have full read/write access to the SD card used by your Raspberry Pi Zero you can update the settings that control Wifi access.
The easiest way to do that is to use the Terminal application (on a Mac).
There are two files that need to be edited; network interfaces and wpa_supplicant.
Start by changing the directory to the 'network' folder on the SD card by typing:
cd /Volumes/root/etc/network
Then open the 'interfaces' file in the nano editor by typing:
sudo nano interfaces
Terminal will probably ask for the login you use for your computer (the one you enter when you boot up).
Then you will see the contents of the 'interfaces' file.
Make sure the first line says auto wlan0 and that there is a line that says allow-hotplug wlan0 and a reference to the wpa_supplicant file as in the image above.
Step 4: Add Your Wifi Network Settings
Once your 'interfaces' file is edited type Ctrl X to exit and save the file.
Then navigate to the wpa_supplicant file:
cd /Volumes/root/etc/wpa_suplicant
Open the file:
sudo nano wpa_supplicant.conf
Enter your password if requested and then you will see the contents of the file.
Change the SSID and password to suit your Wifi network and then type Ctrl X to exit and save the file.
Step 5: Connect to Your Raspberry Pi Zero Over Ssh
Now you can eject your SD card and insert it into the Raspberry Pi Zero along with your Wifi dongle and power cord and then use the Terminal programme to remotely access over ssh. Make sure your computer is on the same Wifi network when you attempt this.
You can find out details on using ssh here.
Once the connection is made you will see a window like the image above and you're good to go.
One of the first things you might want to try now is to use your computer as a virtual display using something called tightvncserver since you saved all that money and hassle by not using a keyboard, mouse and display!

I also found tightvncserver to be very useful for PiZero, great tip :)
Thank you for sharing.

The day called for possible thunderstorms in the afternoon, but they called a triangle hoping to avoid them. Turns out the first leg was upwind so it was pretty tough for most. Even well after the start, I kept hearing on the radio that they were still trying to make the first turnpoint. I didn't think anyone would be making goal. But apparently, once they rounded that first turnpoint things got easy. I heard Dave May say that he glided all the way from the first to the second without taking a single climb.
Unfortunately, the overdevelopment did come about late in the task. As Atilla was coming into goal first, there were lightning strikes north of the field. Atilla came in fine and got his glider into the hangar as Jonny came in sky high. I knew something must be up for Jonny to be crossing goal at 2000 ft. Apparently he went on final needing a 10-1 but just couldn't get out of the lifting air. He took a wide final out over the town of Gulgong to try to get out of the lift and go around the darkest parts of the sky. Once he landed, the wind started to pick up as the gust front slowly arrived. Konrad and Glen were next in and Konrad managed a nice landing in the 15 knot wind. Glen flew way out over the town at about 2000 ft and we were sure he was going to run away from the storm and land elsewhere. Turns out he was just trying to find a part of the sky that wasn't lifting. By the time he found some and came back, the wind had really turned on. Glen, John Smith, Wolfi and Matt landed in pretty strong stuff but everyone pulled it off alright.
Over dinner we heard that Trent made goal and then flew away trying to escape the storm. He flew nearly back to the first turnpoint before he could find any air going down. Cameron also had a pretty scary time trying to avoid the cloud suck.
Today isn't looking terribly promising. The storm dumped a bit of rain and it looks quite stable out there now. The forecasts are calling for little or not lift.

Macrophages Drive Regeneration
The activity of one type of immune cell helps regrow the limbs of amputated salamanders.
Edyta Zielinska
May 22, 2013
WIKIMEDIA, STAN SHEBSMacrophages, a type of immune cell that travels throughout tissues gobbling up bacteria and dead cells, plays a pivotal role in limb regeneration in a salamander called the axolotl, according to new research published this week (May 20) in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
"There has been a lot of discussion about how cells of the immune system might impinge on the regenerative process," Andràs Simon of the Karolinska Institute in Sweden told ABC Science. "No one has experimentally addressed this before, so in that sense it's very important."
Macrophages are known to be important in human muscle repair after acute damage. To test their role in limb regeneration in the axolotl, researchers from the Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute depleted macrophages in amputated salamanders and noticed the formation of stumps and scarring, rather than new limbs. When the stump was reamputated and the macrophages replenished, the regenerative program resumed, regrowing the lost limb. The researchers noted that in the first 24 hours after amputation, the macrophages were involved in cytokine signaling that was alternately inflammatory and anti-inflammatory, suggesting a more complicated program of tissue repair than that observed in humans.
Nonetheless, the researchers hope the finding will inform research on human regeneration. "This really gives us somewhere to look for what might be secreted into the wound environment that allows for regeneration," said first author James Godwin.


text: By Jon Frandsen, Senior Editor November 18, 2008 The thundering sounds you hear in the distance are either ice cracking as Hell freezes over or LBJ spinning so quickly in his grave that he broke the sound barrier. Senate Democrats decided not to exact real punishment on Sen. Joe Lieberman, the Democratic vice presidential candidate of 2000 turned independent turned ardent backer of GOP presidential nominee John McCain. Lieberman's apostasy was not unprecedented, but its near forgiveness may be. It clearly is not politics as usual. (Lyndon Johnson, who is regarded as one of the most masterful -- and vengeful -- majority leaders in Senate history, would have threatened vile, slow and colorful deaths but settled for burying Lieberman politically. Forever.) The grudgingly forgiving move bodes well for the prospects of tamping down the vitriol in Washington and ratcheting up the cooperation and work.Triumphant as they were after the election, Democrats rode into town furious and determined to ride Lieberman out on a rail for his campaign treason. His loss of the chairmanship of the Homeland Security Committee appeared certain and his expulsion from the caucus possible. But President-elect Obama quietly made clear he would rather Lieberman be let go with a rap on the knuckles. Since it was Obama who Lieberman directly betrayed, it would have been pretty difficult for his former Senate colleagues to demand more. And if anyone had a reason to hold a grudge, it was Obama. With just a year under his belt in the Senate, the anti-war Obama endorsed and campaigned for the ardently pro-war Lieberman in his losing primary fight against a more liberal antiwar Democrat in 2006. (Lieberman plugged on as an independent and prevailed.) This is about more than fence-mending with one man. In fact, the Lieberman incident is one of several signs in recent days that Obama is dead serious about building bridges and trying to usher in a far less partisan age. He met with rival McCain Monday to map out areas where they could work together -- after all, Obama shares more common positions with McCain than with most other congressional Republicans. And he and Sen. Hillary Clinton are in serious discussions about her becoming his secretary of state despite their long and often bitter primary fight. A week or so ago, the conventional wisdom (to which I subscribed at the time) was that Democrats would decide they had little choice but to punish Lieberman in the name of party discipline and to get someone so out of step with the party on national security issues away from a key security committee. Now you are already hearing a new conventional wisdom emerge saying they had no choice but to let bygones be bygones. Pragmatism and politics demanded it, the logic goes, because Lieberman could be crucial in close votes. I don't buy it. Democrats have a healthy majority and can do without him in most cases. Even if Lieberman left the caucus in a huff, he still would have been likely to vote with Democrats more often than Republicans. He's still from a blue state, after all. And whatever political risks there were in dumping Lieberman, there are plenty in keeping him. The Democratic Party is not quite as captive to the activists and liberals that make up the base as the Republican Party is to the conservatives who are its core, but they are crucial nonetheless. Yet Obama is risking their ire by protecting the scalp of an independent who is reviled by many rank-and-file Democrats. Ditto with his moves to embrace Clinton and many former officials from Bill Clinton's White House.Obama proved in the campaign that he is no naif and he's not going to gamble some of his political capital with the base before he even moves into the White House for no reason. So you have to assume that Obama is not blithely ignoring his base or its wishes, but is sending them a subtle but unmistakable message: He intends to do what he promised and govern from the center and through consultation, bipartisanship and consensus. And that means making a decision that while he needs and wants liberals and party activists behind him, he won't be beholden to them. Sponsored Content

Last Friday, Kenyan president Mwai Kibaki inaugurated the Kenya Open Data Initiative, a free internet platform that catalogs and displays visually numerous government data sets. South Sudan's independence overshadowed the debut of this important online resource. Nevertheless, the Open Data Initiative is an important step forward and will allow citizens to monitor Kenya's public resources against the backdrop of endemic corruption. (Kenya ranked a dismal 154 out of 178 total countries in Transparency International's 2010 Corruption Perceptions Index.)
In the past, the Kenyan government's statistics on health, infrastructure, poverty, water and sanitation, energy, and population trends were seldom publicly available, or they were often subject to delayed releases and/or hosted on outmoded websites. The same is true for many other African governments, and broadband access is still limited across the continent. But for those who do have Internet access in Kenya, the new platform represents an important milestone in government transparency, with highly practical applications for researchers, international development professionals, and local members of civil society alike. The Kenya ICT Board also plans to encourage new users: it will award as many as thirty grants this year to the groups and individuals who provide the most useful manipulations of the data. Huduma (Kiswahili for "service"), another offshoot from the developers of Ushahidi, has already begun to use the data in order to compare aid and the provision of services across different regions in Kenya, making way for open source monitoring and evaluation. Information communications (ICT) applications using the Open Data Initiative are also in development. The Kenya government has demonstrated a commitment to innovation and reform. It remains to be seen whether the ready availability of official information will result in popular pressure against corruption.

Today is the last day of our Winter Wedding Tabletop Challenge! We have two inspiring tabletops for you; first up this morning is a 'Colorful Modern' tabletop designed by Alex of i like it. i love it.
The Inspiration
Here again is Alex's original inspiration (see the original post for sources and the details).
The Tabletop
And now, her modern and bright winter holiday tabletop:
Alex: "I am a big fan of the modern aesthetic and as a result of that already own quite a bit of modern decor and accessories. I think I struck a nice balance of combining things that I already owned paired with a few colorful DIY elements that I made specifically for the challenge. I really love the crisp and colorfulness of my final look and hope you do too!
"I wanted to play off the dark tones in my dining table and really let the white and colorful accents pop off of it. I chose my favorite colors to decorate with for the holidays: red and turquoise and then chose to add in green for an extra punch of color. "
"I used clean-lined white square plates paired with modern flatware and glassware. I tucked my colorful menus into crisp white napkins on each setting's plate. Red and turquoise satin ribbon were laid out in the center of the table as a runner. In order to give the table an extra pop of color and shimmer I added a turquoise snowflake ornament tied with some colorful baking twine to each setting. I love the David Stark Twig Topiary from West Elm and just had to include it as the centerpiece for the table. I filled some clear glass ornaments with colored glitter and hung them from the branches. Lastly, I love the look of mercury glass and topped off my table with a few mercury votives around the setting.
"I created my own paper goods using colorful japanese washi tape and card stock. I also used the same tape to make the green polka dot drink stirrers for the water glasses.
"I love this silver glitter 'love' sign and thought it added a cute touch to the modern white chair that I had already draped in ribbons. I envision using this to tie the Bride and Groom's chairs together.
"I think every party should have a signature cocktail. It's one of those great details that allow you to show some personality in your event. I took inspiration from one of the images in my board and crafted this 'Sparkling Cranberry Martini'. Not only is it delicious but the end product worked with my color scheme perfectly.
"I hope I have inspired some brides and/or party hosts to give colorful modern a try when it comes to their event's decor. A big thank you to Rebecca and Laura for the opportunity to share this with you all!"
I'm loving Alex's clever use of washi tape - how amazing did the paper goods and stirrers turn out? And those glittered letters? So many possibilities!
Pink and green japanese washi tape; white napkins, plates, clear ornaments and turquoise snowflakes from Target; BHLDN love banner; David Stark Twig Topiary from West Elm; Jonathan Adler Ceramic Penguin; Tiffany & Co. Martini Glasses; Satin Ribbon and loose glitter from Michaels; Mercury Votives from Luna Bazaar.
We have one more design to show you this afternoon (mine!) so please come back later for a look-see. And don't forget to visit Alex over on her blog for more lovely inspiration!

Why Deploy/Restore Windows 7 System Image to New Hardware?
Have you ever thought of why you need to restore Windows 7 system image to new hardware? Suppose you have just bought a new computer to replace the old one, the first thing you need to do is to install an operating system and necessary applications, which are time-consuming and energy-consuming. You may come up with the idea: "why not make a system backup image of the old computer directly, and then restore it to the new computer?" This may sound pretty effortless, but what if these two computers have different hardware configurations? It's not hard to imagine that the new computer will encounter errors when boot up. So you need to find a safe way to carry out this deployment.
Another assumption: if you are the administrator of the new established cybercafé or a company, you will face the headache problem of installing Windows 7 to numbers of computers. So it is urgent for you to find out the simplest way to save a lot. Luckily, technology makes things possible. You can only installing Windows 7 on one computer, then make a system backup, and deploy this system image to the rest computers for restoration.
Here comes the question: how can you deploy Windows 7 system image to different hardware and guarantee the operability after the restoration?
Deploy Windows 7 system image to dissimilar hardware via AOMEI Image Deploy
AOMEI Image Deploy (AID) is professional system image recovery software that specialized designed for Windows OS based machine. It intends to restore one system image to multiple computers that work in same LAN either with similar or dissimilar hardware. In theory, you place the system image on one computer which could be counted as a Server. Then boot all target/client computers from network by configuring that in BIOS. The rest is waiting for the recovery process to be completed. This is fairly helpful in companies, cybercafés, hospitals and schools. It has neat and graphical user-interface with easy operations. Download this software to learn the detailed steps.
Create WinPE automatically: This will create a standard Windows PE ISO of your computer and store it to the installation directory of this software, and there is no user interaction inside.
Create bootable WinPE ISO manually (Support adding custom drivers): This helps you add drives you might need to install on target/client computers to the Windows PE ISO.
This AID plays greatest role only when there is large amount of computers need to be deployed. If you have just one or two PCs to restore, you may try following method: perform dissimilar restore via AOMEI Backupper.
Free AOMEI Backupper Offers Universal Restore
AOMEI Backupper puts forward a specially designed function called Universal Restore. This function can ensure new computers boot after system restoration, no matter the hardware configurations are the same or not. This freeware can be applied to Windows XP/Vista/7/8/8.1/10. The following are concrete steps.
Situation 1: the target computer is a new one or can not boot directly.
In this case, firstly you need to create a bootable media to boot the target computers. So the processes should be:
- Install Backupper on the source computer.
- Backup Windows 7 to an external hard drive on the source computer.
- Create a bootable media on the source computer.
- Connect the external hard drive and the bootable media to a target computer, boot target computer.
- AOMEI Backupper pops out. Turn the interface to Restore and find the prepared Windows 7 system image by browsing Path.
- Choose the destination.
- Click Start Restore.
Tip: you can also seek help from PXE Boot Tool. With this tool you can boot many computers within LAN at the same time to realize Windows 7 restoration on different hardware.
Situation 2: the target computers can boot.
- Install Backupper on every computer.
- Backup Windows 7 to shared network/NAS or to an external hard drive on the source computer.
- Launch AOMEI Backupper on the target computer(s), turn the interface to Restore.
- Find the prepared Windows 7 system image by browsing Path (If the image is stored on network/NAS, you are expected to find it under the corresponding path; if it is stored in an external hard drive, connect it to the target computer and make sure it can be detected by Backupper).
- Choose the destination. You can choose overwrite the original system, or not.
- Click Start Restore.
- Set the target computer to boot from new system.
Try Universal Restore
AOMEI Backupper is very smart software. When you are restoring a system image to a different hardware, it will automatically detect whether there is any difference on the hardware configurations. And if there is, AOMEI Backupper will automatically tick the Universal Restore option to guarantee the success. Now DOWNLOAD this freeware to have a try!

Frequently Asked Questions
Many out-of-state hunters who wish to hunt big game in Colorado find the big game license application process to be confusing, intimidating, and sometimes frustrating. If you make a small mistake in the application process, your entire hunt can be ruined for a year, so it's important to know what to do and do it right!
As a wilderness hunting outfitter specializing in deer and elk hunts, I am familiar with the process, though Colorado Division of Wildlife employees are, of course, the experts. Please consider this article as an aid in going through the license application process, but don't take my word as the ultimate authority. That's up to the fish and game department. WE OUTFIT IN GAME MANAGEMENT UNIT 43. If you have a Unit 43 tag, please talk to us–we can set you up with a great hunt. We have connections to obtain Unit 43 mule deer buck tags, and we offer these as part of our guided hunts for trophy mule deer bucks. Please call if you have questions.
From my perspective, however, here are some tips that should help you through the process.
Who must apply for a license? Some hunters have the misconception that they must apply for all Colorado licenses. That's not true. There are many regions in the state that are open to unlimited bull elk license sales for the archery and second and third rifle seasons. Those are called "statewide" units. All other elk licenses are available by application and drawing only. First rifle season elk licenses, fourth rifle season elk licenses, muzzleloader licenses, all cow elk licenses, and private land licenses can be obtained only through drawing.
All deer, antelope, bighorn sheep, mountain goat, moose, and mountain lion licenses must be obtained through the application process. There's a special bear season for the month of September that requires a drawing for a tag, but otherwise you can buy a bear tag over the counter that is valid during any season where you're hunting deer or elk.
What percentage of limited draw licenses go to out-of-state residents? The Colorado Wildlife Commission sets the percentages of tags that go to state and out-of-state residents. Recently there was a movement by a group of resident Colorado sportsmen to grab a larger share of limited licenses, especially the coveted tags that require more than 5 preference points. The Colorado Wildlife Commission caved in to this intense political pressure, and now Colorado residents get 80% of those tags, while non-residents get 20%. Of course, you didn't know about this proposal and didn't comment on it, so you got shafted. I still invite you to send a comment to the administrator of the Colorado Wildlife Commission, Mike King. You can email him at email@example.com. For the tags that require fewer than 5 preference points to draw, non-residents get 35% of the tags and Colorado state residents get 65%.
What are landowner tags and Ranching for Wildlife tags? For any rule, there's an exception, and there are exceptions to the application process, too. If you're hunting with an outfitter who operates on a large Ranching for Wildlife private property, he will have tags in hand that you buy as part of the price of your hunt, and you won't have to go through the application process. Another loophole in this rule is landowner tags. Fifteen percent of all Colorado limited licenses are distributed to large landholders as a reward for hosting wildlife on their property, which hopefully helps to keep some of these parcels from being developed. These tags are distributed as vouchers that can be redeemed in the form of a license at any license sales point in Colorado. Landowner vouchers can be freely bought and sold. Realize, however, that if you buy a landowner voucher, you're simply paying a premium for the right to buy a license at the normal license price! You're basically shortcutting the application process and getting a guaranteed tag, but you'll pay for the privilege. There's an active secondary market for landowner tags, and reach for your wallet if you want to buy one. Do a google search or ebay search and you'll find them.
Do I get the right to hunt on private property if I buy a landowner tag? Yes. Previously, you simply got the right to buy a license, and didn't get the right to hunt on that particular ranch. After a loud outcry, that rule was changed so you do get permission to hunt on the ranch that issued the tag. You can also use that license to hunt anywhere in the unit specified on that landowner tag, regardless if it's public or private property. Of course, you must have permission to hunt on private property!
How do preference points work? Each time you apply for a limited license and you're unsuccessful, you are given a preference point. You can accumulate quite a few preference points. There are many guys out there who have a dozen or more preference points for various species of game animals. Some hunts require few or no preference points to draw a tag. In many statewide units, you can draw a bull elk tag for first rifle season with no preference points, for example. A statewide muzzleloader bull elk tag usually takes two preference points for a non-resident hunter. Many units will yield mule deer buck tags with no preference points.
However, some licenses require massive amounts of preference points. All bighorn sheep, moose, and mountain goat units, special high-country mule deer and plains mule deer hunts, some antelope units, and some of the limited licenses units for trophy bull elk take between seven and a dozen years to draw. The Colorado Division of Wildlife magazine, Colorado Outdoors, publishes a special "preference point edition" each March/April issue that details each big game unit and pertinent information such as how many licenses are issued for that unit each year, how many Colorado resident hunters applied, how many non-resident hunters applied, how many preference points it took for a hunter to draw a license, and other interesting details. You can call or email the DOW and either get a yearly subscription or send a check or money order for $2.95 for the March/April preference point issue.
BE ADVISED that there can be sudden fluctuations in draw results, which can be the result of magazines and websites publishing such articles as "Unit ____ is totally under subscribed for third season mule deer tags! This is your best chance to bag a mulie scoring over 180 with no wait to draw! And by the way, we have landowner tags for that unit for sale!" Suddenly a unit that had a total of 2,100 tags issued with 1,500 leftover tags last year will have NONE this year, and you won't know why.
When is the application deadline? The application deadline is usually the first Tuesday in April, but I usually tell my hunters that the deadline is April 1, so they get in their applications in a day or two early. "Snail mail" applications must be postmarked prior to the deadline, but can arrive a couple of days later.
When do we know if we drew tags? Drawing results are announced around June 10.
What if we want to hunt as a group? You can apply as a group, but you'll be dragged down by the lowest number of preference points in the group. For example, if three guys have three preference points each and one guy has one preference point, your application will be treated as if you have one preference point. You need to appoint a group leader to make your application.
What information do they need? If you've bought a hunting or fishing license in Colorado in the last few years, you probably have a CID number, which is your personal number with the DOW. How do you find that number? A hint—go to their website and go to the Hunting nav bar, and drop down to "Draw Results". You can input your name, zip code, and date of birth, and it'll return with your CID number. If you don't have a CID number, they'll issue one when you make your application. You need the standard information INCLUDING your social security number, which I think is an invasion of your privacy. Why your social security number? Because if someone is behind on his child support payments, they won't issue him a license. You MUST have a valid Hunter Safety Card from any state if you were born after January 1, 1949. There are no exceptions to this rule. Don't try to hoodwink them on this. If you took a Hunter's Safety Course and lost your card, get on to the state wildlife department website where you took the course and request a new one. It usually comes in the mail in a few days. If you haven't taken the course and you were born after Jan. 1, 1949, you can't hunt in Colorado. It's that simple. Take the course and you're good to go in any other state or province in the U.S. and Canada. If you try to fool them with a bogus Hunter Safety ID number, you may be subject to criminal prosecution. It's not worth it.
How do I know where I want to hunt? You need to do your research and figure out your hunting spot. If you have a statewide rifle bull tag during the second rifle season, for example, you can hunt in any one of dozens of different units. If you plan to hunt during a limited-license season, such as first rifle elk season, you need to specify a game management unit and hunt within that unit. You can call the DOW or get on their website for the parameters of their units. Make sure your tag is for the area that you want to hunt! Sometimes a logical hunting area can be split by a highway or river, and just across the road you'll see a nice buck that's not in your GMU (Game Management Unit). Sometimes our clients show up with tags that aren't even close to our hunting area, and they simply can't be used.
What about leftover tags? The Colorado Division of Wildlife establishes a number of animals that they wish to see taken out of individual herds in specific areas. The best way to do that is to issue tags for female animals in specific numbers to meet their harvest goals. Often licenses in particular units, particularly cow elk tags, go "unsubscribed". After the license drawing in early June, the DOW will put blocks of leftover tags for sale either by website, through licensing agents (Wal-Mart, feed stores, etc.), at their regional offices, or through the main office in Denver. They are sold on a first-come, first-served basis. Sometimes there are bull elk and buck mule deer tags left over as well, so it's worth checking their websites to see if tags are available. Usually those leftover tags are available beginning on August 10, but check with the DOW because the date seems to fluctuate.
What is a private land tag? That's a license whereby you are limited to hunting on private land only. You may not hunt on U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, or State of Colorado property. You must have obtained permission to hunt on private property prior to your hunt. Private land access can be difficult to obtain, so be careful about buying private land tags if you haven't secured access in advance. Don't confuse private land tags with landowner tags! (See above) Private land tags are issued by drawing only, but often there are leftover tags right up to the beginning of the season.
What about either-sex tags? Archery elk and deer tags are usually either-sex tags, and in some years, limited-license elk tags for the first and fourth rifle seasons are either-sex tags. You can shoot either a cow or a bull, your choice. This is the DOW's attempt to reduce the herd to manageable numbers. This is a "Schedule A" tag—see below.
Somebody told me I can get a cow elk tag AND a bull elk tag. Is this true? For the past several years, the DOW has issued two schedules of elk licenses—List A & List B—and you can buy a bull tag in one season (List A) and a List B (cow) tag in either the same season or another season. You can get only one List A tag, but you can get an additional cow tag. This "two elk in one season" system depends on whether or not the DOW reaches its harvest goals, and will be announced in early 2006. You may apply for only one license per species through the drawing, and any additional tags must be purchased at license agents, through their website as leftover tags, or at regional offices.
I want to build preference points for a special hunt, but I still want to hunt. How can I do this? In the license application process, you'll be asked for a first choice hunt code and a second choice hunt code. If you know you're applying for a unit that's very tough to draw, you can simply put in for that unit and hope for the best as a first choice hunt code. Then, figure out a tag that you might be able to draw with no preference points, such as a cow tag or a first-season bull tag for a statewide unit, and put that as your second-choice hunt code. You'll most likely draw the second choice tag.
Youth game hunting license for persons under the age of 18 with showing of hunter education certificate. If under 16, must have youth game hunting license and be accompanied by adult 18 years or older.
Can I call you to help me through the application process? If you book a hunt with OutWest Guides we will be happy to help you with the application process. You can look through the rest of our website to see what we do—I think you'll find that we do an excellent job of outfitting our clients for wilderness elk, mule deer, and blue grouse hunts. We guide our clients by horseback into the Maroon Bells/Snowmass Wilderness and Raggeds Wilderness areas and we have an excellent reputation for putting our clients on game and doing it right.
How do I fill out the application forms? Very carefully! If you're doing it on a paper application and mailing the application in to Denver, make sure you're dotting all the I's and crossing all the T's—in BLACK INK. Blue won't work for some reason. It's actually easier to make your applications online. If you haven't filled out a required field, the website will kick it back to you, and that way you make sure it's done right.
How do I contact the Colorado Division of Wildlife? Their website is www.wildlife.state.co.us . It's an excellent site and fairly complex, so take your time to navigate it—there's a lot of information! You can call them at (303) 297-1192. There are several regional DOW offices throughout the state, in towns such as Montrose and Glenwood Springs, and if you can't get through at the Denver office, you can call the regional offices and get excellent customer support as well.

Gratitude is one of the character strengths!
"In fact, it is one of the key strengths for enjoying life. A grateful person is not just someone who remembers to say 'thankyou', though they do. Crucially, a grateful person focuses on the good things they have rather than on the things they do not have.. (pg 147 Celebrating strengths by J. Eades)
Each time I walk past these simple pansies by my front door I am thankful for their colour and how cheery they look! Last week I saw a teacher stand with her class against a wall, face the sun and feel the warmth on a cold day! What a wonderful thing to help kids be aware of!!
What could the students in your class be encouraged to be grateful for?
What things can you be grateful for today?

The Neck Hammock - Better Neck Pain Relief at Your Door
by Dr. Steve Sudell Jr., DPT, ATC
Hi I'm Dr. Steve Sudell Jr.!
I created the Neck Hammock out of necessity. As a physical therapist, one of the most frustrating injuries that I see on a daily basis is neck pain. Strengthening and stretching exercises are ok, but I always find that cervical traction almost always provides the most relief.
However, most of the products out there are either:
A) Too expensive
B) Too bulky to carry around
C) Or very cheaply made and utterly ineffective!
I wanted to design a...

Tax Scams 2019
Each year, the IRS publishes the "Dirty Dozen," a list of 12 scams that are rampant during that year's tax season.
This year, the IRS is cautioning taxpayers to be extra vigilant because of a 60% increase in email phishing scams over the past year. This is particularly disheartening, since it comes on the heels of a steady decline in phishing scams over

Not shabby. The theme of the day was "carpe diem": took advantage of what's likely to be the last partly-sunny day before a week of rain to take a hike with my husband at the State Botanical Garden, then had brunch at the renowned local restaurant The Grit before they close for a week of renovations.
Enjoy your trip home, and enjoy home!
On the negative side: I had to go in to work on my day off.
On the plus side: my girlfriend bought nectarines while she was at the grocery store, and now the whole kitchen smells nectarine-y. Mmmmmm.
Church, lunch, naps. And then the usual afternoon game of Rook with the in-laws, which we won, which is not usual!
Relaxing in my backyard hammock, listening to a livestream of Bill Nye and a Tesla cannon at the Museum of Flight, after just doubling my donation to crowdfund a space telescope so my students can take a self-portrait in space. It's a good day.
Elderly cancer-patient mother-in-law felt well enough to celebrate birthday at Fenway, Sox won. Not too shabby.
Olympic distance triathlon. Man was it hot for the running leg (mid-90s). The rest of the day lazing in the pool.
(Shannon – if the nectarines go soft before you finish them – nectarine cobbler. nom)
Visiting with my parents, my brother and his family. Hectic, but enjoyable.
Hot, humid, no AC, and Sims 3 Pets doesn't seem to have an "Ask to Leave" option. Stop eating their leftovers and sleeping in their beds. Gah!…
I may, possibly, not have been doing anything productive today.
Western States 100 mile trail run today in 100+ degree heat. Not me, thankfully, but I feel for them.
Hope your city's not gone.
I had tea with my husband at Lovejoy's Tea Room in San Francisco today. And the gentleman at the next table over was reading The Ghost Brigades. (Tweeted you a shot.)
Shot an archery match, did so-so but had fun with some friends. Stopped for a great burger and beer at a small joint I don't get to often enough.
It was great to meet and talk to you @ ALA. I didn't get a chance to go to Lib Family Feud – hope u helped keep up the writers winning streak!
Made jam- strawberry, and apricot/peach. Also a batch of experimental pickles.
Saw "Deceptive Practice:The Mysteries and Mentors of Ricky Jay", so yeah. There's a story of an effect he pulled off, apparently (and I use the word advisedly) impromptu, for an unsuspecting audience of one, that brought tears to my eyes.
Bratwurst in patty form on the grill at an impromptu family reunion. Laughs and tears shared with loved ones I haven't seen in many years. A good day indeed.
DG Lewis – I see you got there before I could :-)
John, welcome back to Ohio. I hope Darke County has good weather tonight and a great fireworks show.
