"They are supposed to provide 24/7 nursing care. They promise full coverage with a nurse there all the time, and the family has had to fill numerous shifts. Otherwise, they call 911, and my grandson has to go to the hospital. They haven't gone above and beyond to find nurses to fill the shifts. They just assume that the family can take care of it with no problem. It's the only office in town where you can find kids partying and watching TV in one room, and then dogs barking in the next."

"We have used their services for several months. Our experience with the first 2 home health aides was excellent.

About Spencer
"Anonymous doesn't yet have the capability to run computers without a power source, officials say. But if the group's members around the world developed or acquired it, an attack on the power grid would become far more likely, according to cybersecurity experts who spend their time giving stupid quotes for stupid articles."
Well, they could run them on generators, but I think it'd be hard to connect to the internet during a blackout.
Hope everyone has a fun night and a great new year.
You honestly think that any drug costs $70,000/treatment to produce?
Pharma companies set prices high because their business is literally "pay or die", so they can get away with it.
"The issue is whether it was subjective bad faith to do so. Considering that fair use is a defense and that the would-be plaintiff has a legitimate, nonfrivolous claim of infringement, I don't see how any would-be plaintiff could ever be in subjective bad faith so long as there's copying."
So you are basically admitting that there is no punishment for using the DMCA to censor people, so long as they use any scrap of material the would-be plaintiff could considering copying.
And yet you wonder why we don't like the DMCA.
They did say it was the cause. The exact opposite, in fact. They are saying that the act obviously failed at doing what it was meant to do, according to the RIAAs own numbers.
I "get it" just fine. NZ can't dictate the terms a U.S. hearing, correct, but you seem to be missing the point. The U.S. broke the law when they took the evidence out of NZ to begin with. That's obtaining it illegally, last I checked.
And "good faith", even in legal terms, means that the evidence was believed at the time to be legally obtained. The U.S. knowingly broke NZ law when they took the evidence offshore. And even assuming they did not know, ignorance of the law is just as bad, if not worse.
So, let me get this straight. The FTC is accusing Google of hurting it's rivals, when capitalism is about hurting your rivals.
And even assuming they are correct in their claims, what is the FTC doing about apple, who buys materials from suppliers who's employees are jumping off the roof of their factories because of working conditions.
Where is the FTC action against Telcos and wireless providers who are price gouging customers through agreements to artificially keep prices high because there is no real competition?
And what of the "too big to fail" banks? Where is the FTC there? Oh, wait, that's right. We're propping those guys up. Forgot about that.
Missed the ACs reply due to realizing I wasn't signed in halfway through typing my comment.
Considering that the U.S. has been ordered to return the evidence, saying that the DoJ is acting in "good faith" is laughable, at best.
Actually, not true. The failings in NZ do change the case in the U.S., since the evidence was gathered illegally by the NZ police. If the evidence is obtained illegally, it's still inadmissible in a U.S. court, which means that the DoJ would have no case.
No one should have to ask a judge if they can have the rights they are fundamentally entitled to, i.e. free speech. No matter how atrocious what she said was, the judge has no right to tell her she can't say it, especially when you stop and see people like the WBC being allowed to spew their vitriol all over the place.
"while ignoring all the horrible things that Dotcom did."
Horrible? Horrible is trafficing 12 year old girls to sell as sex slaves. Horrible is selling methamphetamine to middle schoolers. Horrible is murdering innocent people for kicks.
Running a legitimate business that followed laws it didn't even have to(the DMCA) and giving rights holders direct access to your servers is hardly what I'd call "horrible".
I normally don't go so far as to say "Fuck you, U.S. government", but this time, I can't think of anything better to say.
I can think of at least one company who will soon disagree.
Share the popcorn?
I also fail at html tags, and the link was supposed to go here:
Rob has cleverly made sure that he cannot use the most obvious title for a sequel to this book. How?
The 2009 Film, Year One
Also, just going to leave this here
For those in the US, might I suggest contacting your representative. Congress wants to "protect the children". Well, let's let them know that here are real children who really need protecting, and demand they do something about it.
The problem is a legal one. Even if someone makes an android version, it still would suffer the same legal fate as the iOS version. What needs to happen is the lawsuit needs to be dropped, or a judge needs to realize that SCS doesn't actually want to help anyone but themselves, and tell them to go fuck themselves and throw the lawsuit out.
This disgusts me. How dare congress write bullshit bills "for the children", and then when this shit comes along, they simply turn a blind eye.
Something interesting to be noted is that when I searched for the post from Finesse, Google found it, but when you try to access the page, Facebook says it cannot be found, implying it was removed.
If anyone is interested.
I agree that it's not completely about the money yet. But I a bit more pessimistic about anything actually changing.
Also, rather off topic, but I noticed an error on your website while browsing your portfolio. Was wondering how to contact you to point it out.

Insights: Indulgences
Vintage sporting and collectible arms offer a fascinating blend of history, technology and art
Matt Kramer
From the Print Edition:
Raquel Welch, Jul/Aug 01
I'm not a gun guy. I've never shot anything. Any critter bigger than my shoe has nothing to fear from me. I mention this because I, ironically, was at an auction preview of antique, sporting and collectible arms at Butterfields auction house in San Francisco.
What caught my eye -- apart from the guns themselves -- was the economics of collecting antique sporting arms. Simply put, they almost never decrease in value, regardless of the state of the economy. "To date, there has never been a crash or a severe bear market in antique or collectible sporting arms," says Greg Martin, who heads Butterfields's seven-person arms and armor department. "There are never any big speculations in gun collecting, unlike, say, Ferraris. No big bubbles, no big busts."
Martin later told me this auction was "no big deal;" a big deal to him means something that reaches a world-record price. (Butterfields is the dominant auction house in this field, racking up virtually every world-record price set at auction.) But, to me, this auction preview looked impressive.
For example, there was a collection of Smith & Wesson No. 2 Army revolvers -- the sidearm of choice for Union soldiers in the Civil War.
As I stood in front of the showcases, I turned to an affable-looking fellow in his late 60s standing next to me. "Do you know anything about these guns?" I inquired. "Yeah, I think so," he replied with a grin. "Actually, that's my collection you're looking at."
His name is John Otteman, and he had been collecting for 40 years. Naturally, we got to talking, and I asked him the obvious: just one gun type? Isn't that, well, a little specialized? After all, he had 59 of these Smith & Wessons, plus a bunch of worn leather flap holsters for them.
"Really, it's not that unusual," he said. "I mean, not everybody goes after the Smith & Wesson No. 2 revolver, although it is a popular gun. Most collectors specialize in something, whether it's a particular gun or just a time period."
Otteman put his collection up for auction because he's been living in Singapore for the past six years, which has crimped his collecting opportunities as well as the gratifying participation with fellow collectors. Also, Singapore's relentlessly hot and humid climate makes gun storage difficult. It was time, as he put it, to "exit."
I was more interested in his collecting entry. What did gun collecting offer him? "Really, it's history, at least for me," he explained. "I think that's true of a lot of antique gun collectors. I became fascinated with the Smith & Wesson No. 2 revolver for a lot of reasons. Its technology was advanced for its time. But probably, above all, was its involvement with the Civil War."
"So what's it like to shoot one of these guns?" I asked, my arm encompassing his showcased collection. "I don't know," he replied. "I've never shot any of these guns." I was truly baffled. If you buy wine, you're going to open it, right?

Common Rocks Case-Mate's Show During New York Fashion Week
In the midst of New York Fashion Week, Common took over the Best Buy Theater in Times Square to promote Case-Mate, a cutting-edge designer of accessories for mobile devices. The event was co-hosted by Fergie and Quddus with beats provided by DJ Mia Moretti.
A crowd of roughly 2,000 rocked and swayed to a string of classic tracks encompassing the Chi-Town rapper's expansive discography – from Can I Borrow a Dollar? (1992) to The Dreamer/The Believer (2011). The crowd's enthusiastic sing-along to "The Light" served as one of the highlights of Common's performance set.

About Payout Ratio
The payout ratio is the percentage of net income that a company pays out as dividends to common shareholders.
A payout ratio of 10% means for every dollar in Net Income, 10% is being paid out as a dividend. For instance, if Microsoft earns $50 million in net income and the payout ratio is 25%, Microsoft will offer $12.5 million to all its common shareholders.
Companies with low payout ratios:
- High growth companies often have low payout ratios; they use the money to invest in other projects.
- Companies that do not have positive cash flow or positive earnings.
Companies with high payout ratios:
- Value-orientated companies
- Where the board and management may own stock and pay dividends to themselves (cynical view)
- Where management is favorable to shareholders
- Companies that have a consistent dividend stock policy
- Companies that do not have any investment projects that are worth pursuing.

This past week I received many generous scholarships at the Telluride High School awards night that I will use in my quest to receive a college degree at Colorado State University.
First, I would love to thank our high school counselor, Karen Lavender, for all that she does. She makes it possible for us seniors to apply for these wonderful scholarships in the first place and plays such a major part in helping us get into college. This year she acquired more than $143,000 in donor funds.
Receiving these scholarships was very exciting and suspenseful; I applied for several scholarships but didn't know which, if any, I was going to get. I thank each and every donor for their generous awards, including Strokes of Genius, Telluride Rotary Club, TAR Brooks "Hoot" Brown Memorial, Cody Simonian/Lizardhead Hockey Club, and Telluride Ski and Golf Company. Without their assistance, it would be very difficult for me to afford college.
I love Telluride and feel fortunate to have grown up here. The town in this tiny box canyon is like no other and I feel blessed been raised in such a loving, caring, and supportive community.
– Hannah Daley

"The design is perfect for my daughter's ballet birthday! We ordered a portrait image on the front with two smaller images on the back of the card -- one with a tutu of course! The paper quality is nice and thick."
"I just received the invitations that I ordered for Bella's party. OMG!! They are absolutely amazing! I love, love, love them! The paper quality was excellent. No flimsy, cheap cardstock. I wasn't sure how her photo would turn out so I was pleased to see that the photo turned out well. The font and colors turned out great as well! I would highly recommend tinyprints to all my family and friends! Ordering was easy. Shipping was fast and the product was professionally done. Thank you tinyprints for making Bella's day even more special."
"This invitation was just perfect for my daughter's 2nd birthday party! I liked that it had a little sparkle (note the glitter is a graphic not actual glitter but I knew that ahead of time) but it wasn't overly princess-y or flashy. I customized quite a bit of the text with the different fonts, using a script for her name which I think turned out really cute. The only thing I would recommend is making the "kindly respond" quite a bit bigger--it seems a little small to me on the invite and I even enlarged it some. Shipping was super fast and came almost 5 days early! This is my third purchase from tinyprints and I'll definitely be coming back."
"My 4 year old was so excited by these invitations. The design is cute and the paper quality is excellent. It was very easy to customize and I received them just four days after ordering!"
"I ordered this invitation for my grandson's 3rd birthday. He loves trains, and he was so excited when he saw the invitations. The overall quality of the invitation is great, and we have received so many compliments on the invitation! Also, the invitations were shipped super quick!"

Students at the University of Virginia attend a flu clinic Thursday to get their swine flu vaccines.
University health officials gave the vaccine to students 24-years-old and younger.
Those in high-risk categories for chronic illness also attended. Students didn't have to sign up in advance, but they did have to pay $20 for the shot.
Organizers say the vaccines are important for the health of the community.
"They are doing it to protect their community, their friends, and their loved ones, who they can give the virus to," says Dr. James Turner, the UVa Director of Student Health.
UVa plans to hold another clinic before Thanksgiving and in the beginning of December.

There will be plenty of fresh faces at Florida State games this season and one very old one.
After years of irreconcilable differences, former coach Bobby Bowden has agreed to be honored at the football kingdom he built from scratch in the 1970s.
Bowden, after 33 years, was pushed out after the 2009 season and hasn't attended a game since.
He said he wanted to stay behind the scenes to let Jimbo Fisher develop the program, but there was no denying a lingering bitterness.
That ends this year when Bowden returns for "Bobby Bowden Day" on Oct. 26 against North Carolina State and then again Nov. 17 versus Syracuse as part of the 20-year anniversary tribute to the 1993 national title team.
Bowden also won a national title in 1999 and dominated the Atlantic Coast Conference from the moment Florida State joined in 1992. His 389 victories rank first among major-college coaches.
It's nice to see both sides have agreed to bury the spear.
Bowden will see a team he would have loved to coach, very young but very talented.
He wouldn't like the way they rush quarterbacks to the lineup these days as Bowden always preferred third-year juniors.
With EJ Manuel off to the NFL, however, Florida State will be youngest where it counts most, the only reason the Seminoles aren't ranked higher.
That doesn't mean Florida State can't be good. There has been a growing buzz about redshirt freshman Jameis Winston since he dazzled everyone in the spring game.
Some are suggesting Winston could repeat Johnny Manziel's out-of-nowhere feat of winning the Heisman Trophy as a freshman.
Winston has a similar pass-run tool kit although he is taller (6 feet 4) and bigger (227 pounds) than Texas A&M's superstar and serial autograph signer.
Winston has the personality to attract voters with his love for cheese balls and distaste for boorish behavior.
"If I ever get Manziel disease, I want all of you to smack me in the head with your microphones," Winston said at media day.
Winston hasn't even won the starting job yet as he battles it out with Jacob Coker, but he already has brightened up Tallahassee.
Florida State, technically, has a lot of holes to fill with only 10 returning starters. The Seminoles lost 11 players to the NFL, including three first-round choices.
No one, though, is taking up a collection only one season after the Seminoles won 12 games and wrecked Northern Illinois' Bowl Championship Series-buster dreams in the Orange Bowl.
The Seminoles are well-stocked at nearly every position. In Phil Steele's national unit rankings, Florida State ranks No. 2 at receiver, No. 4 at offensive line and defensive back, No. 8 at defensive line and linebacker and No.1 on special teams.
Plenty of "non-starters" from last season logged plenty of playing time.
For only the second time since 1992, though, Florida State was not chosen to win at least a share of the Atlantic Division. The season will likely come down to the huge ACC showdown at Clemson on Oct. 19. The home team has won the last six games in the series and Florida State hasn't won in Death Valley since 2001.
The other big games are home against Miami (Nov. 2) and at Florida (Nov. 30).

It is often hard to find papers than can be used for almost anything. This pack of beige and brown may sound boring, but just the opposite. I made a complete book out of them, and it came out just beautiful. Any color you can think of will go with these neutral papers. I especially love the newsprint and the butterflies.
Very heavy kraft paper/cardstock, very nice prints, and that great watermarked/resist pattern as well that makes this paper so versatile! Ink it, stamp it, spray it, distress it. It takes it all beautifully. This is one of my favorites.
I found this item once in my local store and then never seen it again. I have a thousand items I could use this product on. It is perfect for those heritage photos I am currently working with. I love Tim Holtz products.

Welcome once again to "An Expert's Audit". This audit will also be posted here as well as on my fantasy hockey blog at www.fantasyhockey.hockeyanalysis.com . During the season I also do weekly reviews of teams for people who email in to me for a look-see. These audits will continue to appear here monthly and if you're interested in having your keeper team "worked over" then you can begin by emailing Dobber about it.
Gordon Bell is Quebecois. I was thinking that it must be a pen name or something when an obvious Francophone (by writing style) had an Anglophone moniker attached but it turns out that I just shouldn't go around making assumptions. The pen name that he wanted to go with turned out to be "le prez" and so … let me introduce you to The Prez as I call him. He's a Scottish heritage francophone living in Quebec City. We first had real contact during the World Championships in QC this spring and I was jealous that he got seats to any such thing.
Prez plays in a 10-team roto keeper league. It was a 12 teamer last year but two guys packed it in and they had to run a little dispersal draft. My first thought was, "COOL, a dispersal draft". I won't bore you with many details except to say that Prez somehow got his hands on the 3rd, 5th, 14th and 19th picks so he added Henrik Lundqvist, Andrei Markov, Tomas Kaberle, Chris Osgood, and Derick Brassard. I didn't realize how significant that Brassard pick was until we came to keeper options.
Everyone in this league keeps 5 forwards regardless of position, 3 defensemen, and 2 goalies plus everyone gets to keep 3 rookies for two years max on top of the other keeps. Getting Brassard in the dispersal draft was HUGE for your team next year when I expect him to contribute big for the Jackets.
This league counts points only for skaters and gives 2 pts for a goalie win, 2 more for a shutout.
Who to keep
Your roster looks like this (keepers are signified with an *):
* Vincent Lecavalier – guys have been down on him a bit but I expect a big bounceback to numbers not unlike 2 seasons ago.
* Martin St. Louis – the Lightning aren't going to stink any more, they've been signing offensive options out the wazoo and they hope that Matt Carle becomes who he's supposed to become.
* Marian Hossa – lots of fantasy guys are all abuzz with the idea of Hossa lining up with Datsyuk/Zetterberg. Yes please.
* Zach Parise – if the reins come off him a little bit more then I see 40 goal seasons for a decade or so. If he were in Philly he'd be better than Daniel Briere.
Daniel Briere – if he were in Jersey … he'd have to play with John Madden or something. I still don't see the production anytime soon in Philly that he put up during his last season in Buffalo.
Simon Gagne – risky but high reward too.
Patrick Marleau – less reward than Gagne but less risk too.
* Nicklas Backstrom – me likey, especially in a keeper league. I realize he was a rook last year but you actually kept him 2 years ago so he doesn't qualify as a rookie keep this season.
Tuomo Ruutu – just not a fan. I can't believe that Carolina is banking on big numbers out of him, I just don't see it happening.
* (r) Derick Brassard – the Jackets offense is going to be SCARY. Soon.
* (r) James Sheppard – maybe one day he can be Zach Parise but I don't think you want to wait as long as it'll take before he has enough value in a 10 team league.
Igor Grigorenko – upside, sure but can you wait how long it'll take before you get to see it? I can't.
Joe Corvo – some are very high on him putting up really big numbers in Carolina but you only get 3 D keeps and he doesn't make the cut.
* Tomas Kaberle – I'm a Leaf fan so remember that but I also think that he'll be a top 3 option for your D next season.
* Brent Burns – I'd just plain keep him around the roster forever … or a decade … whichever comes first.
* Andrei Markov – the Montreal PP didn't miss a beat after shedding Sheldon Souray because Markov played off so well against some significant talent up front. I don't see that changing anytime soon.
Ian White – yeah … uh, no.
Ryan Whitney – I'll probably catch it a bit from guys reading this because Whitney is just plain skilled but I'm not as high on him as others are and I think he'll be great trade bait for you to upgrade your keepers elsewhere.
* Roberto Luongo – yeah, this is a pretty good keep. Duh.
* Henrik Lundqvist – I can't believe that you have arguably the 2 best keeper goalies in the game right here on your roster.
Chris Osgood – you only start 2 goalies so I'd actually look at shopping him pretty hard before you have to submit your keeper list.
* (r) Josh Harding – I think he steals the job away this season and within a couple years he might be the next great goalie keep.
What to do, what to do
So the argument here centers around who doesn't make the cut. Whitney, Briere, Gagne, Marleau and Osgood can all be decent keeps for their own sakes. I'm going to argue that you can move some of these guys for upgrades elsewhere. So … does the Prez trust his advisor? Hey, it's your team man and the final decision is going to rest on you. Just stay away from the little red button, we don't want an international incident over Whitney vs. Kaberle.
Ok, so let's see if we can upgrade. I'd like to upgrade your rookie keeps if possible, see about upgrading your D options and shop around for any interest in your non-keeper guys.
Whitney/Kaberle/Parise for Brian Campbell and Alexander Radulov – you began by offering up fringe keepers in order to get an upgrade elsewhere and this is how things came to be. In a keeper league I love this deal and I was surprised that it actually happened. It should be noted that this happened before the Radulov "incident" signing in Russia although there was all the talk of various NHL guys moving to Russia. That incident still hasn't played itself out at the time of this writing so in the end you may be keeping Radulov if he's playing in North America or you just overpaid for Brian Campbell by a pretty severe margin.
Markov/Marleau for Sergei Gonchar and Michal Rozsival – you weren't keeping Marleau anyway but this deal helps your D immensely so that you now have decide between Rosie and Burns for your 3rd D keep. My choice is still going to be Burns.
Briere/Osgood for Ilya Kovalchuk – this never went anywhere but it was a decent offer given the league parameters.
Briere/Corvo/St.Louis for Sidney Crosby – Sid's owner might've put him on the table but nothing ever came of this offer. If I had received it I would've declined it too but it was still worth a shot.
James Sheppard and Simon Gagne for Patrick Kane – on face value that can work but because you keep rookies then you have to offer up a rookie to get one back. In the end this idea didn't fly.
Players going out – Tomas Kaberle, Ryan Whitney, Zach Parise, Andrei Markov, and Patrick Marleau.
Players coming in – Brian Campbell, Alexander Radulov, Sergei Gonchar, Michal Rozsival.
Keepers – Vincent Lecavalier, Martin St. Louis, Marion Hossa, Nicklas Backstrom, Alexander Radulov (or Daniel Briere if Radulov is in Russia), James Sheppard (rookie), Derick Brassard (rookie), Brian Campbell, Sergei Gonchar, Brent Burns, Roberto Luongo, Henrik Lundqvist and Josh Harding (rookie).
Rostered but not kept for next year – Daniel Briere (or Alexander Radulov if he's playing in Russia), Simon Gagne, Michal Rozsival, Tuomo Ruutu, Igor Grigorenko, Joe Corvo, Ian White, and Chris Osgood.
Well, you upgraded your forward keeps from Zach Parise to Alexander Radulov and the hope is that he plays out his contract in North America. This move would've helped if Radulov plays in Nashville because of the system he plays in as opposed to the system Parise plays in. You took a chance on this move and it could very well be that it bit you on the butt. Again, if Radulov is playing in North America then this is still a very nice move for your team, if he's in Russia … not so much.
You also upgraded your D keeps from Kaberle/Markov/Burns to Campbell/Gonchar/Burns. With Campbell leading the way from the back end in Chicago he'll undoubtedly have more to work with than Kaberle will in Toronto. The Habs PP will still have to be feared and Markov will have a good chunk of the reason for that but when it comes to pure PP offense from the rearguard then there are few better options than Sergei Gonchar anywhere. Burns continues as your third keeper and I see him as a young upside option for the next decade and a better long term option than either Joe Corvo or Michal Rozsival will be.
It's a shame that we couldn't find a taker for Chris Osgood. In a league like yours that counts wins and shutties then who wouldn't want the starting goalie for the Stanley Cup champions? I'd advise you to keep him yourself but you need to think a bit more down the road in that situation. It's too bad really.
Prez and I both agree that the biggest crime in this whole experience is that we couldn't work Briere into a deal and now he has to lose him for nothing. If Radulov isn't a keeper then Briere resumes his keeper slot though and otherwise you can go get Briere back in your September draft.
It was a pleasure to work with you Prez, all the way from a dispersal draft through maximizing your keeper options. May your approval rating always be going up.

Robert Nkemdiche's unhappiness with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution seems to have settled down.
The Clemson defensive end commitment from Grayson High School in Loganville, Ga., tweeted this week that Michael Carvell of the AJC was "causing problems" for Nkemdiche's recruitment. That statement appeared to be very off base when looking at Carvell's coverage of Nkemdiche's recruitment.
Nkemdiche appears to agree as he has since deleted the tweet following a conversation with Carvell. Here's the latest from the AJC:
"When I contacted Nkemdiche, he was specifically upset about the story saying his mother was 'upset' at Clemson and 'it was not a done deal.' After being informed that the story was reported by ESPN and not the AJC, Nkemdiche deleted the tweet."
What happens next with Nkemdiche's recruitment is anyone's guess. He will surely continue to hear from several schools, including Alabama, Georgia, LSU and Ole Miss, where his brother, Denzel Nkemdiche, is a redshirt freshman.
And speculation on the future of the nation's top prospect will continue to build.

It's a fact; the more you know about deer, the easier you'll be able to make important decisions as a hunter. And as an educated hunter you'll be able to better analyze the deer sign you see before you on the ground, or understand what a deer is doing -- or possibly going to do next -- as you observe from afar. Another important process as an educated hunter will be that you are better able to track and recover a deer after a firearm shot or release of the arrow when you begin thinking like a deer. You can also better understand the "what happened" details when dealing with deer in our forests and fields. Being an educated hunter offers many rewards.
The good news is that now you have options when it comes to learning about deer, and these programs definitely beat the "school of hard knocks." For some hunters, their education is reading magazines, and this approach generally lays a basic knowledge about deer. Some hunters also take elaborate field notes -- that are studied -- to track important dates, moon phases and observations, and other details on deer behavior as they understand it. Other hunters read books, do online research, and attend hunting shows to sit in on seminars from experts.
Education and understanding follows several routes and has several degrees of impact. Some estimates are that you retain 20% of the information you read, 60% of the details you observe, and more than 80% of the information that you participate in as a hands-on exercise. This is the reason high schools and colleges have science labs and mandatory attendance. Your degree of deer education will definitely affect your hunting abilities.
Electronic Education
Nearly any student in today's classroom can tell you that books have been replaced by computers as an important source of learning. Some classes that students once had to attend and struggle to sit through are now offered online. In recent times, computers and online education technology have increased greatly in acceptance and use. Hunters have also accepted the computer challenge. If you look deep enough, hunter education courses and some biology classes are now offered online.
There are also educational audio CDs or DVDs that will impart useful deer knowledge to the user. These are not to be confused with hunting DVDs that simply retell the details of broadcast hunting trips. Learning is limited with TV shows that are meant to entertain.
Recently, however, the deer hunting arena has had two educational CDs enter the market. Cyber Deer, by the Quality Deer Management Association, is a new release that permits users to "shoot" deer from selected heights, distances and angles with a bow or firearm on the computer screen. Users can study the shot path and other details. The real discovery comes as you zoom in and strip away the skin and look at the layers while studying your shot's impact on the skeleton and organs. This program also cautions the student against low percentage shots. It's not entertainment; the program is designed to teach adults and children ethical hunting and effective shot placement.
"The program covers ethical shots, and is definitely a good tool for a new hunter to learn about shot placement," said Randy Bowden, QDMA's Marketing Director. "You can also use this program in hunting camp to recreate that shot after it is made and see the projectile path. This will help determine if the wound is deadly, or also get more details on how long you need to wait. It's a tool that outfitters and hunters can use to aid with recoveries." The program permits entry of the hunter's stand height in feet and other details when searching for the fine details of the shot and wounded deer. The CD can be ordered at www.qdma.org.
Whitetails Unlimited also has an educational CD geared towards kids that teaches about wildlife habitat. The "Youth Series CD" additionally covers deer distribution, wildlife wonders and deer talk. This organization offers many other booklets on deer. Visit www.whitetailsunlimited.com for a full overview.
Some call companies offer instructional audio CDs and DVDs that provide details on how to call and hunt deer. You'll have to read the fine print or ask questions to be certain again that you are not purchasing repackaged TV shows. You can learn and listen, and these audio CDs are great when you must take a road trip and want more to do than look out the windshield.
Class is in Session
For students of hunting who want to obtain that 80% or more "learn-and-retain" rate, you normally must enroll in a class. The good news is that classrooms combining hands-on practice and useful information for hunters are growing.
Among your top options is a series of Deer Steward Certification courses being offered by the QDMA. The first seminar in this series is 21/2 days long and covers herd-, habitat- and hunter management and deer monitoring. The second part in this series provides more on-the-ground experience and students will develop a deer management plan. These classes are held at various locations in the US.
There are also demonstration farms that teach about food plots and planting for deer. Some of these also give great insight into hunting tactics around food plots. A leading one is NorthCountry Whitetails (www.northcountrywhitetails.com). You have the option of visiting their demonstration farm and taking classes, or having staff visit your property. Another option is having a state biologist visit your property and give pointers or conduct game surveys.
Hunters can also learn via the various seminars held at hunting shows. Several top-rate consumer hunting shows attract informative speakers who can provide "from-the-field" insight into deer behavior and hunting. Look at the show schedule and ask questions to determine if it's educational or a pitch to book a hunt with an outfitter. Seminars I've seen have effectively covered calling, food plots, habitat management, treestand safety and other important topics. And you'll get to possibly see some top deer trophies on the surrounding show floor.
And while the standard hunter education courses focus mostly on firearms safety and very vague hunting basics, several states now offer advanced hunter education courses that actually teach hunting tactics, like hanging a treestand, reading deer sign, or following a blood trail. For young hunters, some states and hunting organizations also offer summer camps that have hunting courses. Ask questions and get answers before enrolling and dropping the bucks -- dollars, that is -- or you could possibly learn more about butterflies and basket weaving than how to turn a deer into dinner.
The more you know, the better you can understand deer and possibly apply that knowledge when you hold a firearm or bow. Deer's the topic, class is in session, so sit up and pay attention.
Read Up
When it comes to deer and an education avenue for hunters wanting to learn more, there are many volumes of books about deer and the science of all things deer. If you like to read, among the most detailed books on everything deer is White-tailed Deer, Ecology and Management by the Wildlife Management Institute. This book can be found in used book stores or on some websites, and expect to pay about $100 for the used book that is by some considered as the bible on deer. This detailed manual covers deer vocalization, restocking efforts, and many more deer details that are used by the country's game biologists.
Another source for detailed books on deer is the QDMA web site. I found more than a dozen titles, and topics covering scoring deer on the hoof to food plots. One particular book, Observing and Evaluating Whitetails, focuses on antlers and gives readers and hunters a full understanding of these fascinating bones.
There are also several management and deer specific organizations that hunters can join to learn. Many of the magazines these groups distribute have pages of deer management and hunting information, but you'll also have to wade through the advertising and "me and Joe went hunting" stories. A little entertainment can help keep education fun!
After you obtain an education about deer, hunting is the test. Putting your tag on a deer after the shot means you have passed the test.

text: Hi, I am 25 years old and would like to find out about a few things regarding DLA. I have been receiving DLA for 6 years and my control has been somewhat erratic to say the least. I do not have warning signs of hypos anymore which puts me in a very dangerous situation should my blood sugars drop. I currectly live with parents and from the age of diagnosis I have had constant visits from paramedics to bring me round after a hypo coma. If my mum or dad wasnt there I dread to think what would have happened, brain damage? death?. I was recently diagnosed with bost mild neuropathy in my feet and background retinopathy in both eyes, not severe enough for laser but still shown some signs of damage. I was diagnosed with brittle diabetes 2 years ago which means I struggle to keep blood sugars within normal limits and obviously with no warning signs was awarded high rate care and low rat mobility. Mobility being as I am unable to drive with my ilness and even a short walk to a bus stop could prove too dangerous for my blood sugars. My mum or dad currently drive me to hospital and doctors appintments. I have never got over the fact that I have diabetes and no matter how much I try to control it things still go wrong, I was diagnosed as a manic depressive 4 years ago and if I didnt hav people pushing me to get up or get ready to be honest I would never go out the house. I do not go out at all anymore because to be honest all I end up doing is thinking why have I got all these health problems while other people can get on with there life. I know people may think pull yourself together but just the fact that I will have this desiese till I die is depressing enough without knowing my complications will only get worse. If a severe hypo does ccur during the night it puts me at risk of another hypo the following day which is one of the reasons why I had a lot of time off work, my hpos at work where too dangerous andnwas told as I was working with machinary they wanted me to leave, so now I have lost my part time wage too. My dla ends in september and I am so worried about the changes they have made like the new pip benefit. I understand everyone will have to have a medical now, is this correct? Obviously I can only walk short distances and my disabilty is some what hidden in regards to hypos, high blood sugars, depression, retinopathy and never damage. If my disabilty is hidden what will happen? The people who do the medical will not be witnessing the hourly checks through the night or the constant help I need from my parents so what will a medical do? I can walk but only short distances to prevent hypos which can come on very suddenly. Any help would be great and please do not judge, you do not have to live my life. Thank you
