Hilbert Lacrosse Gets Another Win
11-10 Victory over Cobleskill
- Release Date:
- March 16, 2011
- Contact:
- The Office of Sports Information
- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
Myrtle Beach, SC – In reverse fashion from the day before, Hilbert College took a 11-10 victory from Cobleskill March 16th in a back-and-forth scoring affair. Ryan Wagner (Orchard Park, NY/Canisius) scored only one goal for the day, but his hit at 3:30 left in the fourth quarter broke a 10-10 tie and sealed the victory for the Hawks (3-1). The leading scorer for Hilbert was Josh Baker (Hamburg, NY/Hamburg) with six goals (1 assist) but it was a total team effort with runs by each team making it an interesting game to the final horn.
Hilbert took at 6-1 lead in the first quarter and survived the Cobleskill offensive pressure in the second session going into half time up 7-6. The Hawks built another 9-6 lead before the Tigers clawed back and tied the score at 10-10 in the fourth. Wagner's winning goal was scored in a man-up situation finishing the team's southern swing with a win.
Nick Kieffer (Lee Center, NY/Rome Free Academy) and Wagner were a combined 9 for 18 in face-offs and Baker had 6 ground balls for the game. Defensively, Sean Manning (West Seneca, NY/West Seneca West) held Cobleskill's best player to just one goal, while Kyle MacKowiak (Buffalo, NY/Bishop Timon-St. Jude) had 14 take-aways. Pat Lunderman (Niagara Falls, NY/Niagara Wheatfield) had another solid game in the cage stopping 16 shots. Sean Purtill (Orchard Park, NY/Orchard Park) and Greg Zitnik (Blasdell, NY/Frontier) each netted two goals in the winning effort.
Hilbert returns to Hamburg over the weekend and has a few days to prepare for their March 23rd game at Thiel College. Their home opener is set for March 26 against La Roche College with a 2pm start.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

What began as a rescue for Weimaraners now accepts all dogs, but focuses their
energies on saving large and giant breeds from certain death. Located in Palm
Beach County, FL, Big Dog Ranch Rescue offers a true last line of defense for
hundreds of souls, burdened by illness, neglect and despair. More...
The Dr. Jane's HealthyPetNet Foundation has made fresh inroads to making the
world a better place for senior citizens and senior dogs.
Our charitable non-profit has awarded a financial grant to the National Brittany
Rescue and Adoption Network (NBRAN), a dedicated organization devoted to saving
the lives of abandoned American Brittanies both in the U.S. and Canada. A
network of foster-care volunteers, NBRAN is comprised of individuals who work
passionately on behalf of this lovable breed.
Once referred to as "Brittany Spaniels", Britts are known to retain their
puppy-like enthusiasm regardless of age. Great family dogs, they tend to be
gentle, yet active, and are widely recognized for their good humor. More...
We're nearly midway through 2010, and we'd like to take this opportunity to share
the progress made by the Dr. Jane's HealthyPetNet Foundation thus far into 2010.
While we have highlighted some of the caring animal rescue agencies who have received
financial awards this year, many more grants have been awarded.
Before we convey some of the details about these worthy organizations, we want
to thank you for all that you've done to support our foundation. Even if you have
never made a donation directly to the Dr. Jane's HealthyPetNet Foundation, if you
have ever purchased any of our products, you have contributed to its reserves and
thus helped animals in need. And for that, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
As you've probably noted, the vast majority of the animal rescue groups selected
for our grants are small non-profits who typically operate on shoestring budgets.
In many cases, the only assets these heart-full groups have are the people dedicated
to aiding homeless and abused companion animals. Frequently located in small communities,
these affiliations fulfill a vital need in under-served areas of the U.S. Not only
do they accomplish so much with so few resources, they work every day to relieve
suffering and enrich their communities. More...
The old adage that "good things come in small packages" couldn't be truer with
regards to the lively, lovable Dachshund, affectionately referred to collectively
as "doxies". Although it's hard to imagine anyone abandoning one of these clever little canines, sadly it happens all too often. Fortunately, the Dachshund
Rescue South Florida is committed to rescuing Dachshunds, giving them a chance to
live better lives. That's why we are so pleased to report that The Dr. Jane's HealthyPetNet
Foundation has granted a financial award to this worthy organization to help them
cover the costs of much-needed veterinary services.
Dachshund Rescue views any successful animal rescue as one with the "patience
and understanding" to oversee all of the steps of adoption, in order to give dogs
a "second chance at a wonderful life". And they have done more than just give Dachshunds
a fighting chance; in fact, in their first two years of operation, they have saved
the lives of over 200 doxies! More...
We are so pleased to bring you the news that The Dr. Jane's HealthyPetNet
Foundation has granted a financial award to Golden Rescue South Florida. This
award will be used to help rescued Golden Retrievers receive the veterinary
treatment they need and deserve.
The dedicated people at Golden Rescue South Florida truly have a heart of
gold. They believe that all animals are part of a sacred creation and should
never be treated as "commodities, things or garbage". They are a can-do group of
people and work tirelessly to improve the lives of Goldens and other rescued
dogs. More...
If you're like most people, you are probably wondering, "What are essential
fatty acids?" Or, "How could something with the word 'fat' in it be good for
me?" The short answer is essential fatty acids (or EFA's) are essential because
our bodies alone cannot produce them – they must be obtained through our diet.
EFA's are long molecules that are used in the construction of the walls of our
cells, known as the cell membranes. The cell membranes are critical for both
nutritional processes and the excretion of toxic waste products. Without EFA's,
the body cannot make or repair cell membranes correctly. EFA's also regulate
bodily functions such as blood pressure, clotting, fertility, heart rate and
immunity. For these reasons, they are often referred to as "good fats".
Now that you know a little more about essential fatty acids, you may wonder,
"Are there different types of EFA's?" And if so, "What are the differences?" More...
There seems to be a lot of confusion out there as to the best sources of
omega-3 fatty acids. This article will break down the major sources of omega-3's
and give you the information you need to make educated choices.
First, there are three main types of omega-3 fatty acids: DHA, EPA and ALA.
DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (Eicosapentaenoic acid) are found in fish and
ALA (alpha-linolenic acid ) is found in plants like flaxseed. When you choose an
omega-3 source, we suggest that you select a healthy balance of all fatty acids,
but make sure you are getting enough EPA and DHA, as these fatty acids are
responsible for the majority of the health benefits of omega-3's.
This is important to remember: if a food or supplement states it is high in
omega-3, it does not necessarily mean it is high in EPA and DHA. For example,
although flaxseed oil is six times richer than most fish oils in omega-3's,
flaxseed oil contains mainly ALA, not DHA and EPA. Unfortunately, our bodies can
only convert ALA into DHA and EPA in very small amounts. Scientific studies have
revealed that fatty acids from fish or fish oil, but not flaxseed oil, benefited
patients with cardiovascular disease and ADHD. More...
A review of how probiotics work and why they are so important to good health.
Probiotics have received a great deal of attention lately, and this focus is
absolutely justified. An increasing number of products, from yogurts to pet
foods, contain probiotics. Often referred to as "healthy" and/or "friendly"
bacteria (or microorganisms) in the media, their proper notation is "direct fed
microbials" when used in pet foods. Basically, probiotics are helpful bacteria
that reside in the intestinal tract. In fact, every digestive system contains
millions of bacteria, both those with a healthful purpose (like probiotics) and
some that are not so beneficial. While some kinds of bacteria can be harmful,
many (like direct fed microbials) actually help the immune system adapt to
internal changes within the body and thus naturally support good health. More...
On Tuesday, March 2, 2010, a lawsuit was filed in a San Francisco Superior Court, which alleged that several popular brands of fish oil supplements have illegally undisclosed and unnecessarily high levels of contamination from toxic PCB compounds. Widely regarded as cancer-causing agents, PCB's were outlawed from manufacture in 1979. The lawsuit names eight manufacturers and retailers of fish and fish liver oils (as well as shark and shark liver oils) which tested positive for PCB contamination that exceeded the limits approved for human consumption under California's Proposition 65. The initial defendants named are CVS Pharmacy, Inc.; General Nutrition Corp. (GNC); Now Health Group, Inc.; Omega Protein, Inc.; Pharmavite LLC (Nature Made brand); Rite Aid Corp.; Solgar, Inc.; and TwinLab Corp.
These allegations should give consumers cause for grave concern. Although many currently marketed fish oil supplements feature claims of being "treated" to remove or reduce levels of PCB's and other toxins, many fail to accurately state the residual levels of PCB's remaining after "treatment". This lack of disclosure leaves consumers completely in the dark, not knowing whether or not they are ingesting high levels of PCB's when taking their omega-3 supplement. The allegations are deeply disturbing, as many consumers regularly take their supplements every day. More...
We are proud to note that Ellen Moon and her
third generation Life's Abundance Labrador Retriever, Corey, showed at
the "world class", prestigious Westminster Dog Show at Madison Square Garden in
New York City held on February 15th and 16th. More...

A recent study by the Girl Scout Research Institute found that girls define their health in holistic terms, and place equal value on emotional and physical well-being. Uniquely ME! The Girl Scout/Dove Self-Esteem Program helps girls feel better about themselves by helping them develop the skills necessary to face life's challenges. The core program curriculum, which integrates the latest research from the Girl Scout Research Institute, consists of activity booklets that guide girls through simple exercises that help them understand and build self-esteem.
The Uniquely ME! booklets include exercises about recognizing one's strengths and best attributes, handling peer pressure, healthy eating habits, hygiene, general wellness, exercise, and identifying core values and personal interests. Additional information about eating disorders, the power of positive thinking, relationship, and stress is also available to girls, on an age-appropriate basis.
Girls in grades 4th through 6th are invited to participate in this event. The event will take place at the Antlers Public Library, 104 SE 2nd Street, on June 26, July 3 and July 17 from 12:30 p.m. until 2:00 p.m.
A special session will be held on July 24th with a tea party, spa treatment, photo shoot and special speaker, Miss Oklahoma first-runner up - Damaris Pierce. Time and location of this event will be announced at the last session.
The cost is free for Girl Scouts and $12 for non-Girl Scouts, to cover membership fee. All participants must register for the event. Registration forms can be picked up at the Antlers Girl Scout office located at 804 E Main, Ste 2, Tuesday or Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to noon. Registration deadline is June 25. Register early as limited space is available.

Dana White Disses Bob Arum; Calls Him a 'moron' for Making Pacquiao-Marquez 4 - Yahoo! SportsWhite has consistently bashed Arum and boxing promoters in general for not making the best fights possible, so it's hypocritical that he's now blaming "Uncle Bob" for putting Pacquiao in a tough match. Dana likes to talk about how the UFC's mission is to give MMA fans the best fights possible, even though he clearly supports "cash cows" being protected.
Don't act surprised though, we've all known about how Dana likes to protect his top money-makers for quite some time.
Looks like even the mainstream fight fans are noticing and commenting on the match making of late. How's the heat hold in that glass house Dana?

A couple of weeks ago, when nature was wreaking havoc on the Northeast in the form of earthquakes and hurricanes, I wrote a post about the importance of Twitter and outlined the basics for opening an account. Now that you've had a couple of weeks to play around, it's time for a few more tips.
First of all, you've probably been making lots of mistakes. But that's OK because I'm pretty sure almost no one saw them. The most difficult thing about Twitter–and really, it's not hard once you catch on–is figuring out how to talk to people, how to use the @ address (or mention), how to tweet and retweet, and what tone you should take. As I've said, Twitter is only as good an experience as you make it, and the Twitter experience completely depends on who you are following and who is following you back. So to review:
- Following people. You should start out by following about 100 people/organizations, unless you're Yoko Ono, who follows everyone who follows her, nearly 700,000 people at the moment. First find out if anyone you know is on Twitter. Easiest way is to ask. Or put up a Facebook status asking. Or try the tips in this article from Mashable.com, "10 Ways to Find People on Twitter." Next choose a few news organizations you like–your local paper, the Associated Press, Gawker, whatever. If you like fashion, then follow fashionistas. If you like tech, well, you won't be reading this, but follow Tech Crunch. There are organizations you can follow for dog lovers or knitters or whatever. See the Search box next to the blue Twitter bird on the top black bar? Type anything into it and you'll get results. Fiddle around a bit by clicking on this and that and you'll find the ASPCA, who along with the Huffington Post, will provide you with pictures of adorable kittens.
- Getting followers. You see, in Twitter, you can follow almost anyone–unless that person has a protected account (will explain at a later date, but forget it) or has blocked you. People get blocked for being obnoxious (being a "troll"), sending spam, and stuff like that. Otherwise, people don't bother to block their followers, generally. (I suppose there are some picky people and, actually, even I do a filter thing to get rid of people I'm following who might be dicey. More on that at another time.) But getting followers is hard, unless you're famous. A good method is to take a social media class at your local Y or community college. That way you'll start out with a group you can learn with. So to get followers, you have to have some to begin with. Then you have to tweet interesting things–but in the right way. It's a "if you build it, they will come" kind of thing.
- About famous people you follow. Know they will not follow you back or even read your tweets. Most famous people have someone who tweets for them. At most they look at their @ mentions, that is, tweets addressed to them. They won't bother to read these tweets unless they know the sender–or unless you catch their attention.
- Catching their attention. Well, you do this by commenting on something they've said. Using the retweet button at the bottom of a tweet is nice for the person you're retweeting because for people who count these things, the number of retweets increases a person's influence online. But look at this: I tweeted the publisher WWNorton this evening:I was being silly. Sort of Tweeting into the stratosphere. Sort of telling my Twitter friends who might be reading through their stream at that moment that I was tired. But, then, this appeared:Somebody at WW Norton read it and was amused. The more you tweet, the more likely things like this will happen. I tweet about Baby Boomers–the AARP follows me. It kind of begins to work like that.
- Remember, Twitter isn't about you. Sure, if you're the star in your local drama club's production this weekend, tweet about it. But people don't want to hear about how wonderful you are. They want to interact. Twitter is really social–people make friends. The other night I witnessed the first face-to-face meeting of two women who had been Twitter friends for years. I mean, they really know each other well. Then they finally met. It was kind of awesome. (Yeah, @AmyVernon and @TheWordIsBerry.) If you're being too obvious about how clever you are, well, any followers you may have will be bored by the tweet. If they even see it.
- The trick of the retweet. This is how you'll get noticed–with the manual retweet. That means copying a tweet and pasting it into the "what's happening" box. You begin by saying something short. Then you type RT (meaning retweet) @ (wherever it came from). Here's an example: No way I think Slate magazine was going to read this. But some of my Twitter friends did. And that was what mattered. I'm talking to people I know. Notice that I'm also passing on information, an article from Slate.
- Tweet essentials. So what does a good tweet have? To quote Sree Sreenivasan, who practically invented social media (follow him at @Sree or @SreeTips), you need to be succinct and give information. A tweet, he says, should be useful or funny. You've got to keep it under 140 characters; Sree advises 120, which gives room for retweets.
- Sending Tweets. So this is where it gets a little complicated. If you start a tweet with @goodfriend, the only person who is going to see that tweet is goodfriend and someone who follows you and goodfriend. Now, when a whole bunch of you are following a famous person, you'll see the tweets. Remember, the famous person probably won't bother (though, as I said, people check their @ mentions; you might really hear back). So what you do is put a "character"–a period or anything before the @ mention, like this: Everyone who follows me could see this, although I was really sending it to my friend. But people saw it and retweeted it–kind of like dropping a stone into a lake. It ripples. Sometimes, though, I don't bother with the .@ and just use @. I do this when I'm being dumb and not thinking, when I'm really talking to one person, or when I don't really care. Like this:MarcIsGod is my daughter's friend. This was a conversation between the two of us. Probably we should have been Direct Messaging.
- Direct Message. Did you know that all Tweets are going into the Library of Congress–except for private ones, called direct messages. You send a Direct Message by putting D before the @, like d @goodfriend. Thing is, you can only direct message someone who is following you. So it really is a friend-to-friend thing.
- About links. A good Tweet often contains a link to an article or website that gives more information. I'll talk about link shorteners and stuff in another post, but you can copy the URL of whatever you want to send out and paste it into your link. (Don't just send links, however. That's what spammers do. If someone is sending you only links, block him. I'll get to that later, too.) Also, never click on ANY link unless you know where it is coming from. There's a lot of bad spamming stuff going on in Twitter. So be careful. Also, if you are manually retweeting and there's a link you're including, you'll also probably have to manually add http://–the magic characters that make a link clickable. This has been a problem in Twitter for a while now.
So, in general, find good people to follow and just play around. Have fun. I'll recommend this wonderful article on the basics of Twitter by @TweetSmarter. I'll give the link in full so you can see the title: http://blog.tweetsmarter.com/twitter-basics/is-twitter-really-that-hard-yes-yes-it-is/. Follow @TweetSmarter. He's the smartest. But Twitter is only hard in the beginning, and only if you don't take advice from people like @TweetSmarter.
Let me know how you're doing with Twitter. As long as I don't get too many questions, like under 100, I'll answer them personally. I love hearing from everyone by email, Twitter, and Facebook, but there is that comment box too. In case you forgot, I'm @wordwhacker.

Where Bartenders Drink in Las Vegas
No one knows a city's best drinkeries like its talented bartenders. And that goes double in a city like Las Vegas. It's the glittering casinos and all-night clubs that draw most visitors' drinking dollars. But both on the Strip and off, it's possible to find great bars that don't demand bottle service or crazy table minimums. More

Meet Kelly Dorfman, "nutrition detective", in person and hear about her new book What's Eating Your Child? on Wednesday, June 8th at Mendham Books. The book is about the hidden connections between food and childhood ailments such as anxiety, recurrent ear infections, stomachaches, picky eating, rashes, ADHD and more. And what every parent can do about it. Her just published book has gotten five stars on Amazon--the highest rating.
If you haven't heard Kelly Dorfman speak, she is a top lecturer on nutrition and now a published author of a book on feeding your children that is a must read for every parent. If you can't attend the book signing/talk you can order the book on Amazon here.

Comments about 24V Cordless 17 in. 3-in-1 Lawn Mower:
Works great now that my son showed me how to raise the wheel height. Just wish the battery would hold a charge for a longer period of time. Fortunately ~ I bought this AFTER the 14" that just couldn't "cut the mustard". Between the 2 of them ~ I can mow front, back & side of yard.

Comments about 24V Cordless 17 in. 3-in-1 Lawn Mower:
I bought one of these mowers two years ago along with a three year warranty at a large hardware store. It can cut tall grass. It cuts evenly. I can cut my 1200 sq ft yard twice before recharging the battery . It's quite and I don't have to oil it or store gasoline for it. It's light and easy to mow around the obstacle course, that is in my back yard. I can pass over a hose or rock without consequence.
Yet It has enough power to collect the grass well
I made the mistake of charging the battery in a hot garage, three months ago. Messed up the battery. So I took it back to return it per the three year warranty. Came here to buy my second one. I charge batteries inside the house now.

Comments about 24V Cordless 17 in. 3-in-1 Lawn Mower:
The last time I tried to mow with my big name brand gas mower, I had enough. Always drama and trips to the gas station trying to find non-ethanol gas (manual says). It was either find something that always works or pay someone a big price to mow mine and my daughters lawns. I saw the Worx 17" 24v at Lowes and played with the easy adjuster on the height. I was hooked but still skeptical. I had to try it when I got home even though it was charged only 2 out of 3 lights on the indicator. It did perfect. It is easy to use always runs (when charged) and does a great job. Weve already saved enough this summer to pay vs paying someone else. My wife and daughter even like to mow now.

No general antelope licenses are offered. All antelope licenses are limited quota. Antelope licenses are valid only in the hunt area(s) for which they are issued.
Before applying for an antelope license, the applicant should review the tentative antelope hunting information, specifically the limitations column, to determine the type of license that is valid in the specific hunt area for which you are applying.
In the initial drawing, an applicant may apply for one (1) full price license and two (2) reduced price licenses. After the initial drawing, an applicant may apply for and receive up to two (2) full price licenses and up to four (4) reduced price licenses in any area with leftover quotas. These limits include any licenses issued in the initial drawing.
Price is the difference. A full price license is required if the applicant wishes to hunt an antlered animal. However, if the applicant only wishes to hunt an antlerless animal, it may be beneficial to determine if an area offers a reduced price license. Full price licenses include types 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 9 and 0. Reduced price licenses are types 6, 7 and 8. Reduced price licenses are offered to encourage additional harvest in areas where populations are above management objective. When determining whether to apply for a full price license or a reduced price license, the applicant should evaluate what type of animal they wish to hunt.
The Commission may authorize a sportsperson to possess more than one (1) limited quota license in certain antelope hunt areas. For those certain hunt areas, a sportsperson may possess a maximum of two (2) limited quota any antelope licenses. Second limited quota any antelope licenses shall only be available to residents and nonresidents on a first-come, first-served basis after the initial drawing is completed. The second any antelope license shall be sold for the full price.
Special Antelope Drawing. Wyoming statute sets aside 40% of nonresident antelope licenses for applicants paying a higher fee. Applicants who pay the extra $240 for a special full price antelope license will participate in a separate random computer drawing.
Reduced price doe/fawn antelope licenses are limited quota only. These licenses are valid only for the hunt areas and limitations for which they are issued.
The Commission may authorize a sportsperson to possess more than two (2) reduced price doe/fawn antelope licenses in certain antelope hunt areas. The actual total number of reduced price doe/fawn licenses a person can possess will be determined in late April 2013. Regardless of the total number of reduced price doe/fawn antelope licenses any person can possess, a maximum of only two (2) reduced price licenses can be applied for in the initial drawing. If a sportsperson wants to purchase reduced price doe/fawn antelope licenses after the initial draw, including up to the maximum number allowed, they will be able to do so at the Cheyenne headquarters office, Department regional offices, automated license selling agents or on the WGFD website.
The withdrawal block is your method of communicating to the license system that you do NOT want a reduced price license if you do NOT draw a full price license. The full price drawing is conducted first. Before conducting the reduced price drawing, the system will automatically review all reduced price applications and remove any application from participating in the reduced price drawing if the system does not find a full price license issued for the sportsperson and the withdrawal block was checked. This would also be true if you did not submit an application for the full price license, but submitted a reduced price application and checked the withdrawal block. Your application for a reduced price license would not participate in the drawing.
The sportsperson should understand that the system does not look for the hunt area in which the full price license was issued. It just looks for the existence of a full price license being issued. It is possible to draw your reduced price license and a full price license for different hunt areas. If you don't want to draw a reduced price license in an area that differs from the area you are applying in for your full price license, then you should list the same hunt area as your first choice on both applications, leave the other choices blank and check the withdrawal box. The result will be that if you don't draw your full price license, you will not participate in the limited quota reduced price drawing. Keep in mind, the drawings are independent of each other. If you draw your full price license, you may not draw your reduced price license. However, if the withdrawal block is checked and you don't draw your full price, you won't draw a reduced price license because you will not be in that drawing.
Party hunting is illegal in Wyoming. Hunters who apply as a party are not allowed to take game for another hunter.
A party is a group of hunters who APPLY for hunting licenses for the same species, area and type, with the expectation of receiving the same drawing results. All applicants in a party are assigned the same random number; therefore, they receive the same drawing results. Applying as a party does not increase the drawing odds.
Applicants who do not apply as a party are assigned individual random numbers.
Party applications will be accepted for all big game licenses, except moose, bighorn sheep or mountain goat.
The maximum party size is six (6).
Residents and nonresidents MAY NOT apply together as a party.

|Special Fees Types only available to Nonresident
|Nonresident Special
All applications and fees must be in the same envelope and the party block must be properly completed. All party applications for which the party block is not completed will be treated as individual applications in processing and in the random computer selections.
Party applications require that all applicants choose the same species, hunt area and season type in the same order of preference.
Party applications for full price licenses must be submitted separately from party applications for reduced price licenses. Example: If six people want to apply together as a party for full price elk but a few of those people also want reduced price cow/calf elk licenses, two separate applications must be submitted. One application is the party application consisting of the six applications for full price. The second application is either the individual applications for reduced price cow/calf elk or the separate party applications for reduced price cow/calf elk.
For nonresident elk, deer and antelope parties, all of the applicants' preference point totals will be averaged to determine the preference point ranking in the preference point drawing. If you did not receive your first choice elk, deer or antelope license or a preference point during the initial draw period and are eligible to purchase a full price leftover elk, deer or antelope license, you may also purchase a preference point during the preference point only application period.
Applicants who wish their applications to be processed as a party must complete the party block. For example, if there are three (3) applicants within the hunt party, the party block would be completed as follows:
|Hunter in Party
|Party Application Block
|Application for First Hunter in Party
|Application for Second Hunter in Party
|Application for Third Hunter in Party
Applicants who do not want to be processed as a party should not complete the party block:
|Hunter in Party
|Party Application Block
|Leave Blank if Not Applying as a Party
Special archery seasons for big game are established by the Commission in late April. Information on archery seasons will be available on or about May 5. Traditionally, antelope archery seasons for most areas open August 15 and close the day the regular (rifle) season opens. For elk and deer, the archery seasons in most areas traditionally open September 1 and close September 30 or earlier in September when the regular (rifle) seasons open.
Hunters holding general or limited quota hunting licenses may hunt with bow and arrow or crossbow during special archery seasons if they first obtain an archery license in addition to their valid hunting license. Only one archery license is required to archery hunt all big game and trophy game animals. Archery licenses are available at the Cheyenne headquarters office, Department regional offices, automated license selling agents and on the WGFD website. Do not purchase an archery license until you have received notification of drawing results.
Some elk hunt areas offer hunting licenses for archery only and these licenses are designated as type 9 licenses in the Tentative Season Information tables. Type 9 elk licenses are often available as leftover licenses. Holders of type 9 licenses are not required to obtain an archery license in addition to the limited quota archery only license, but are restricted to hunting only in the area(s) and during the season specified for the type 9 license. In elk hunt areas that have type 9 archery only licenses, the special archery season may not be open when the type 9 license season is open or there may not be a special archery season.
Persons hunting with archery equipment during regular firearms seasons need not obtain an archery license, but are required to wear fluorescent orange.
The preference point system is designed to improve an applicant's odds of eventually drawing a license in a hard-to-draw hunt area. Preferences points are utilized in conducting the resident and nonresident moose, resident and nonresident full price bighorn sheep, nonresident elk, nonresident deer and nonresident antelope drawings. Seventy-five percent (75%) of available licenses in each hunt area and license type combination will be allocated to the preference point drawing. Applicants with the highest preference point ranking will receive priority in the preference point draw. The remaining twenty-five percent (25%) of available licenses will be allocated in a random drawing regardless of preference points. The random drawing is intended to provide everyone who applies a chance of drawing a license, regardless of their preference point total.
All applicants will participate in the preference point drawing even if they have no preference points. After the preference point drawing is completed, all unsuccessful applicants will then participate in the random drawing.
A youth applicant wanting to be awarded preference points must be at least eleven (11) years old at the time of submitting an application for a big game limited quota license and must be at least twelve (12) years old when in the field hunting.
A youth applicant wanting to purchase preference points only must be at least eleven (11) years old at the time of submitting an application and must be at least twelve (12) years old by December 31 of that year.
Preference points are assigned to the person's sportsperson identification number and are tied to a species, but not to a specific hunt area. You are allowed to apply for different hunt areas from one year to the next.
Preference points shall not be restored when an applicant causes more than one customer record to be generated, due to the following:
1. A different sportsperson identification number was given on the application.
2. A different sportsperson identification number was generated because the sportsperson number field on the application was left blank.
3. A different last name, first name, date of birth or social security # was used by the applicant.
Such circumstances cause preference points to be accumulated under different sportsperson identification numbers and ultimately deleted for failure to apply under the same sportsperson identification number. Exceptions may be made for a name change because of marriage or divorce.
No preference points will be earned when a person applies for a closed hunt area or invalid hunt area/license type.
Preference points applied for, awarded or purchased during 2013 are not available for use in the 2013 limited quota drawings. Any preference points awarded in 2013 will be available for use in the 2014 limited quota drawings.
No person may apply for, or be awarded, more than one (1) preference point per species in the same calendar year.
If you were awarded a preference point in the initial drawing period, you are not eligible to purchase a preference point during the preference point only application period.
The application period to apply for the purchase of a preference point only is from July 1 to September 30, 5:00 PM mountain time. There is no application fee to purchase a preference point only.
Full Price Elk, Deer and Antelope Preference Points (Nonresidents Only)
For nonresident full price elk, deer and antelope, preference points can be accumulated either by submitting the applicable fee when applying for the initial limited quota drawing for licenses or by purchasing a preference point after all drawings for the year have been completed, beginning July 1.
If the nonresident applicant wants to accumulate preference points in the initial drawing, they must select the fee option that includes the preference point fees for full price elk, deer and antelope licenses. The preference point fees that must be remitted are $50 for elk, $40 for deer and $30 for antelope ($10 for youth for each species). These applicants will be awarded a preference point if unsuccessful in drawing their first choice.
For nonresident full price elk, full price deer and full price antelope, an individual's accumulated preference points are only considered in the limited quota drawing for the applicant's first choice in the preference point drawing.
If the applicant submits the appropriate preference point fee with their limited quota license application for the initial drawing and does not draw their first choice, they will be awarded a preference point for the year in which the application was submitted. Drawing a license for your second or third choice does not cause preference points to be deleted and the applicant will still be awarded a preference point for the year.
For nonresident elk, nonresident deer and nonresident antelope, an applicant will lose all accumulated preference points if they draw their first choice license in the initial limited quota drawing or if they fail to be awarded a preference point within two consecutive years by either earning a preference point in the initial drawing or by purchasing a preference point in the appropriate application period.
For party applications, all of the applicants' preference point totals will be averaged to determine the preference point ranking in the preference point drawing.
There are no preference points for reduced price cow/calf or reduced price doe/fawn licenses. Applicants for reduced price licenses do not lose their preference points if successful in the reduced price drawing, nor do they accumulate preference points if they are unsuccessful drawing these license types.
If you select the preference point fee option when submitting your nonresident application for the limited quota drawing, the fee you must remit is as follows:
|Regular Full Price Elk
| $14 Application Fee
$577 License Fee
$50 Preference Point Fee
|Regular Full Price Deer
| $14 Application Fee
$312 License Fee
$40 Preference Point Fee
|Regular Full Price Antelope
| $14 Application Fee
$272 License Fee
$30 Preference Point Fee
Some suggestions when applying for licenses with the preference point option: to maintain your preference points, do not apply for an easy-to-draw area as your first choice. If you do and are successful, then all of your accumulated points will be deleted and the odds of drawing a license in a hard-to-draw area will be diminished for several years until you build up preference points again. If you desire to hunt more often without sacrificing your preference points, continue to apply for your preferred (hard-to-draw) area as a first choice and apply for easy-to-draw areas as your second choice. By reviewing the random draw odds from previous years, you can find hunt areas with good odds of drawing a license as a second and possibly a third choice. License types with zero percent (0%) drawing odds are not available as second or third choices. On the other hand, it is nearly certain you will draw a license in an area with 100% odds listed for the second choice drawing. However, be advised that drawing odds can and do change from year to year as applicants shift their preferences for specific hunt areas. The prior year's drawing odds are a useful indicator of relative odds, but provide no absolute guarantees.
In an attempt to assure fairness, all limited quota licenses are initially allocated to applicants on the basis of randomly generated numbers through a computerized drawing system. A computerized, random selection process will determine successful applicants.
If the applicant is successful, the license and a copy of the regulations should be mailed within 25 days of the selection date. For nonresidents, elk regulations will not be mailed until mid-June. Applicants who do not receive a license or refund within 25 days following the drawing result date should notify the Department. Applicants who wish to obtain results prior to mail notification may access this information at the WGFD website or by calling 307-777-4600. License fees are returned to unsuccessful applicants and to persons who submitted improper applications or fees. All refunds will be issued in the name of the applicant, regardless of who submitted the fee accompanying the application.
Neither the U.S. Postal Service nor any other mail delivery service is an agent of the Wyoming Game and Fish Department. Therefore, the Department cannot assume responsibility for mail delivery to and from the Department. If necessary, duplicate licenses or replacement warrants will be issued by the Department upon timely notification that the applicant failed to receive a license or refund warrant. Duplicate licenses may be purchased from the Department for a fee of $5.00.
Each drawing is independent of all other drawings. The drawing for each species is conducted independently and the result of one drawing has no effect upon other drawings. Therefore, success in the drawing for one species does not guarantee success for another. For example, success for a moose license does not guarantee success for a bighorn sheep license.
All full price limited quota and reduced price limited quota licenses remaining after the initial drawing will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis through the Department's Electronic License Service (ELS) via the WGFD website, at Department offices and automated license selling agents, or through the submission of a paper application form to the Cheyenne headquarters office.
Full price elk, deer and antelope licenses will be available July 10, 2013, at 8:00 AM mountain time.
Reduced price cow/calf elk, doe/fawn deer and doe/fawn antelope licenses will be available July 17, 2013, at 8:00 AM mountain time.
A current list of leftover licenses available for purchase will tentatively be located on the WGFD website on June 30, 2013.
A sportsperson should understand that the majority of leftover licenses are in areas with limited public access. Applicants are reminded about having permission to hunt on private land before applying for a license. Otherwise, you may end up with a license and no place to hunt and these licenses are nonrefundable.
Individuals who qualify for landowner elk, deer, antelope or wild turkey licenses must apply within the application period to the game warden in the area where subject lands are located. Landowner applications can be obtained at the Cheyenne headquarters office, Department regional offices or on the WGFD website.
Landowners are allowed to apply for one (1) reduced price landowner license per big game species in addition to one (1) full price landowner license.
Minimum requirements are 160 acres of deeded land and 2,000 animal use days annually by each species for which applied. Nonresident landowners should contact the local game warden to determine eligibility well before January 20 for elk and March 15 for deer and antelope. Resident landowners should contact the local game warden well before May 15.
Applications submitted on the WGFD website may be modified on the WGFD website. This feature is also available for paper applications once the application data is entered in the system. Go to the Department's website at http://wgfd.wyo.gov and choose "Enter a License Drawing" under the "Hunting" tab. Enter your sportsperson information and hit "submit." Click on the "View Previously submitted Applications" button and then the "Modify" button and then select the "Continue to update areas and types" button. You will not be able to modify the fee type for which you have submitted your application. For example, you can't change from a regular to a special or a reduced price to a full price or vice versa. The party originator must make the modifications to party applications. Modifications to party applications may also be submitted to the License Draw Section by fax at 307-777-4679 and must include the sportsperson identification number and the applicant's signature. The deadline for modifying hunt areas and types on applications is listed in the Resident and Nonresident Initial Drawing Application Period and License Fee Charts.
The Department issues without charge pioneer game bird, fish and small game licenses to any resident who is 65 years of age or older and who has 30 years of continuous residence in Wyoming immediately preceding application for a license. The license is valid as long as the licensee remains a Wyoming resident.
The Department and automated license selling agents issue a pioneer elk license for a fee of $5.00 and a pioneer deer, antelope or spring/fall turkey license for a fee of $2.00. If these licenses are applied for through a drawing process, a $5.00 application fee is required in addition to the license fee, except for turkey. Eligibility for these licenses is any Wyoming resident who is at least seventy-five (75) years of age and has continuously resided in Wyoming for at least 50 years immediately preceding date of application.
The Department and automated license selling agents also issue a pioneer heritage elk license for a fee of $32.00, a pioneer heritage deer license for a fee of $23.00, a pioneer heritage antelope license for a fee of $20.00 and a pioneer heritage spring/fall turkey license for a fee of $10.00. If these licenses are applied for through a drawing process, a $5.00 application fee is required in addition to the license fee, except for turkey. Eligibility for these licenses is any Wyoming resident who is at least seventy (70) years of age and has continuously resided in Wyoming for at least 50 years immediately preceding date of application.
Big game pioneer and pioneer heritage applicants must meet the above criteria by June 15th. Pioneer and pioneer heritage individuals applying for limited quota elk, deer or antelope licenses must compete in random computer selections to determine successful applicants and pay the applicable $5 application fee.
Pioneer and pioneer heritage general elk, general deer and general turkey licenses are issued from the Cheyenne headquarters office, Department regional offices and automated license selling agents without paying the $5 application fee. If you just want a general license, do not apply in the drawing.
Pioneer applicants desiring to purchase leftover licenses may do so at the Cheyenne headquarters office, Department regional offices and automated license selling agents.
Each applicant assumes an inherent risk when applying for a license to be used in the future. License fees are generally nonrefundable once a license has been issued and licenses are nontransferable. Please consider the risk when applying.
Licenses, stamps, permits or tags issued under Title 23, Wyoming statutes or by Commission regulation become the permanent property of the licensee and shall not be canceled or any fee refunded after the license, stamp, permit, tag or preference point has been issued except as follows:
i. In the case of the death of the licensee, any person who has authority to represent the decedent as provided by a court order shall submit a written request for a license refund supported by a copy of the respective death certificate;
ii. In the case of the death of the licensee's spouse, parents, grandparents, lineal descendants and their spouses, step-parent, step-sibling, step-children, father-in-law, mother-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, step-son-in-law or step-daughter-in-law, the licensee shall submit a written request for a license refund supported by the respective death certificate. The date of death on such certificate shall have occurred during the regular season, resulting in the licensee not being able to participate in the majority of the regular season;
iii. In the case of incapacitating illness or injury of the licensee supported by a physician's sworn statement on a Department form;
iv. Military personnel who receive Permanent Change of Station (PCS) orders or are assigned away from their home duty station on Temporary Duty Orders (TDY), all of this being supported by a copy of official military orders from the Armed Forces of the United States;
v. Individuals who are not able to participate in the majority of the regular season for the species specified in Commission Rules and Regulations during the year for which the license is issued as a result of a court subpoena, jury duty, Grand Jury investigation or attorneys required to attend criminal cases. A certified copy of the court document shall accompany the written request for the license refund;
vi. When the Department determines one hundred percent (100%) of the hunting opportunity and access to the hunt area has been closed due to administrative actions of the state or federal government in closing of the public access to public lands due to a natural disaster;
vii. An error on the part of the Department or its authorized agent where the applicant has been issued a license not requested;
viii. Any youth licensee may be granted a license refund if the youth licensee's opportunity to hunt is jeopardized as a result of any license refund granted by the Department;
ix. A sponsoring organization of a person with a life-threatening illness may be granted a license refund if the licensee's opportunity to hunt is jeopardized as a result of incapacitating illness or injury supported by a physician's sworn statement on forms provided by the Department that the licensee is incapable of performing tasks necessary to exercise the privileges of the license.
The appropriate refund form can be requested by calling 307-777-4516. Under no circumstances shall the Department approve a refund of any license, permit, stamp or tag if the written request for refund is received after January 31 following the season for which the license, permit, stamp or tag was issued or was valid. Refunds shall be denied in any circumstance where the licensee hunted on the license for the designated species as specified in Commission Rules and Regulations, including special archery seasons, during the year for which the license is issued.
For deadlines for withdrawing applications on the WGFD website or submitting a withdrawal form, please review the application deadline chart provided above. Applicants may not withdraw from the wild bison priority ranking or a preference point only purchase. A $5.00 fee will be deducted from the license application refund. The refund will be issued upon completion of the drawing. Pioneer applicants are exempt from the $5 withdrawal fee.
Withdrawing online
To withdraw an application online, go to the Department's website at http://wgfd.wyo.gov and choose "Enter a License Drawing" under the "Hunting" tab. Enter your sportsperson information and hit "submit." Select "View Previously Submitted Applications" and then the "Modify" button and the "Remove Application from Drawing" button. This feature is also available for paper applications once the application data is entered in the system.
Withdrawing Using the Paper Process
You may also withdraw your applications upon submission of a written request. Form 16 "Request to Be Removed From the Drawing" can be downloaded from the WGFD website. It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure withdrawal forms have been received by the License Draw Section by the applicable date.
Holders of moose, mountain goat or full price bighorn sheep licenses, who are "Unable To Use The License For Good Cause" (see regulation, Chapter 44 for a definition of this terminology), may reserve a license for the same species and hunt area in accordance with Commission regulations for the immediately succeeding calendar year only. A disabled license holder must contact the Fiscal Administration Section and request a disabled hunter certification form. This form must be completed in full and signed by the applicant's physician and returned with the license prior to the earliest season date for which the license is valid.

I'm not an artist and I know these aren't perfect, but I think they still came out pretty cool. I used images from my iphone to replicate the the Nintendo characters. I basically drew the images on with a pencil and then used Acrylic paint to fill them in. I used Sharpie Paint markers to fill in small details like the pupils.
WARNING: These are for fun only. Do not eat eggs that have been painted with Acrylic paint.
Step 1: What you Need:
One Dozen Hard Boiled Eggs- some might crack during the cooking process. It's good to have extra.
Acrylic Paint:
Cadmium Red
Deep Black
Burnt Sienna
Brilliant Green
Unbleached Titanium Hue
Medium Gray
Permanent Rose
Azo Yellow Medium
Titanium White
Sharpie Poster Paint:
Floursent Green
Floursent Blue
Lead Pencil
Bowls with water
Old newspaper
Plate for paint
Paper towels
Wet rag- in case you get paint on surrounding surfaces:
Black Sharpie
Step 2: Mario & Luigi
Cadmium Red
Unbleached Titanium Hue
Sharpie Paint:
Brilliant Green
Unbleached Titanium Hue
Sharpie Paint:
To make Mario & Luigi, paint two hard-boiled with the Unbleached Titanium hue. Repeat process two times. Wait at least 1 hour to dry. Next, using a lead pencil, draw their faces onto the eggs. Use paint accordingly to fill in eyebrows, mustache, etc. Use the white sharpie paint pen for the pupils and the blue paint pen for the blue outline of the eyes.
Such Detail!
i already made this with markers, haha. my nephew love it so much. I post it on my instagram @wipank_
This is so cool. Great job
amazing just amazing
(and it made it to Good Morning America's site)
u wake up old memories.....
Maybe you can do the pinhole trick and blow out the raw egg instead of boiling them. That way there's no issue with keeping the eggs for longer.
I've never tried that trick before, but knowing me, I would probably drop the egg and it would shatter to pieces. It's worth a try though. They should keep for a while in the fridge. We'll see how many many make it after Easter!

Karen, very nice ref. photos for april. I'm sure I will find something to paint, time permiting.
Your under painting in oil looks like a good start. I have never tried oils yet, always wanted to. Maybe you can share some details of your class with me.
What medium did you use for the bike trail? Good start!
Good sketch of your husband, will you take this farther and paint him in oil?
Geri, your portrait comes out very nice on the black background. Didn't have time to compare it to the ref. photo, so it looks very good to me. I can tell the texture of the paper could be difficult to handle.
Sarah, your dark a little threatening look on the water, flooding the country reminds me of last years dramatic flooding over here. Hope this year nobody will have to go through this.
C&C always welcome
Hello Karen,
good start...it is the traditional way to begin an oil painting. Looking forward to seeing the end product.
feel free to make constructive c/c...no digital alterations please
Karen, very nice to see your under painting. The light looks good in this. I have never tried to work in oils so it will be interesting to see this develop while you take your course.
Bonnie C & C most welcome / appreciated
Claudia welcome back. I look forward to seeing your hand painted eggs. Thank you for your comments. The bike trail is oil on 9x12 canvas paper. I will eventually try Bob in oil. Oils are so versatile if you try them you'll get hooked.
Sarah thank you for your comment. I enjoyed working out the values without worrying about color.
Bonnie thank you for your comments.
C&Cs always welcome
I started to add color. I couldn't wait for class next week to play with it so I hope I'm going in the right direction.
I can understand your impatience, it looks fine so far but will wait until it is 'finished' before commenting. What size is it and are you using 'real' oils or water based?
Sarah it is a 9x12 canvas panel. Real oil. Mostly Windsor newton. Medium is lindseed and turp. Underpainting burnt umber thinned with turp
Karen are you using layers of thin glazes to paint this? Just curious.
C and C always welcomed
Geri I painted the color over a dry underpainting. So far one layer of wet in wet color. I plan to continue adding color in sections. If I need to add more color over what I have placed I have to make it fatter but I don't think that will be a glaze. Sarah Or jen any help?
with oils it depends on your tutor's way of teaching. Your first step was traditional...whether you realised it or not you were painting tonally (values) but in your second you appeared to be painting textures and using more colours.
Fat over lean (underpainting) is the norm and the whole is brought together by applying a final glaze which will make it harmonious. . It depends whether you want to give the illusion of texture with smooth brushwork or apply painterly textures (which casts shadows if very fat) ) and again it depends on the subject. Personally I like to have both in a painting (mine are very much larger than yours)...a smooth area, to give the eye a 'rest' and thickly applied paint to simulate texture for contrast..
However, I have no idea what your tutor has in mind step by step and he/she may be very pleased with what you have done so far....I can only say that perhaps I would have experimented on another similar underpainting and have waited for the next session.
I hope I have been of help...Jen will probably be adding her pennyworth too...let's hope we agree and you don't get confused!!!!!!.
Sarah thank you for the explanation. If I have time I will do another underpainting before class and use a larger canvas. The material list was a 9x12 but everyone had larger. John (the instructor) said he had the smaller size on the list so beginners could start small. It is an ongoing workshop so everyone is at different stages.
After a long cold winter Easter can warm the heart.
Hi Paul and welcome to the group. Very nice abstract of Easter eggs. What medium did you use? If you would like comments please add cc's welcome to your signature line. I llok forward to seeing more of your work
Karen, it looks like you are headed in the right direction and it all looks good. For my two penny worth I agree with what Sarah has said about layering etc. As you are taking this instruction to learn something new I would slow down now and see where your instructor wants you to go next. Each step in the traditional method is there for a reason.
Jen C & C's always welcome
Paul, hello we haven't seen you in a while. Nice take on the Easter eggs and harmonious colours. What medium? Hope to see you back again.

Every two weeks, Alexander Street offers a free music download from our popular online music collection. This download is freely available, regardless of whether or not your library subscribes to the collection.
Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg (1843-1907) was approached by dramatist Henrik Ibsen in 1874 to compose incidental music for a staging of his five-act play Peer Gynt. Although Grieg had been laboring over an opera with Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson since 1873, he pursued the project, believing it would not distract him from his operatic endeavors. In the end, the opera was dropped and Grieg devoted his time to Peer Gynt, which would become some of his most popular music. Grieg completed the score in 1875 and the first performance took place on February 24, 1876.
The incidental music (music used for scene changes or dramatic effect in a stage work, not unlike today's film soundtracks) consists of 26 vocal, choral, and instrumental movements. In 1888 Grieg extracted these four movements to construct the Peer Gynt Suite No. 1, op. 84 and would later extract four more movements for the Peer Gynt Suite No. 2, op. 55. The first and fourth movements in this suite are perhaps Grieg's most well-known pieces. The first, "Morning Mood," is the prelude to the fourth act of Ibsen's play. The last movement, "In the Hall of the Mountain King," appears in the second act of Peer Gynt as an orchestral and choral piece; Grieg arranged it in this suite for orchestra alone.
This recording is performed by Orquesta Filarmónica De La Ciudad de México under the direction of Fernando Lorenzo.
