Emily Nussbaum may be my favorite critic working today -- her New Yorker column is my North Star of trusted opinion in the televisual wilderness. But she gets "True Detective" wrong, wrong, wrong. (SPOILERS BELOW if you are not up to date with the series.)
HBO's twisted police procedural, written by Nic Pizzolatto and directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga, has assumed a toehold in the zeitgeist, and Nussbaum's is the most trenchant among proliferating critiques. Yet supporters and dissenters alike are battling over terrain -- the role of women, and especially women's bodies -- that circumscribes the debate from the start. "True Detective" appears shallow only when you view it through a single lens.
That's not to say the series' depiction of women is not fair game. In the gape-mouthed gauntlet of traumatized girls through which Det. Rust Cohle (Matthew McConaughey) passes to pursue his line of questioning, or the undressed curves of Det. Marty Hart's (Woody Harrelson) extramarital paramours, "True Detective" assumes a leering gaze out of sync with its troublesome subject matter.
But on the whole, Nussbaum's claim that "every live woman they meet is paper-thin" is overstated. What are we to make of the proprietress of a "hillbilly bunny ranch," who counters Hart's hypocritical, holier-than-thou condemnation with defiance? Or of Marty's wife, Maggie (Michelle Monaghan), who revenge-fucks Rust and reports back to her husband, knowing full well he'll fly into a rage? If there is, to the series' discredit, a queasily anonymous quality to the women whose deaths prompt Hart and Cohle's investigation, the live women of "True Detective" are in fact anything but mere backdrops for the action: they talk back.
It's worth remembering that the lion's share of "True Detective" occurs in rural south Louisiana in 1995, not Lena Dunham's New York. Underemphasized in lamentations about the lack of diversity on "Girls" is the notion that Hannah Horvath's refreshing brand of young womanhood is class-based and site-specific. The same could be said of "True Detective": the sum total of the (admittedly small) female roles -- women who work in exurban strip malls or chemical processing plants, pray at revival meetings or hang out at bars, wear prim dresses or punk-inflected jewelry -- reflects their respective struggles against constraints of time, space, and circumstance. The tough madam's response to Hart may not be as satisfying to our ears as Amy Jellicoe's revolutionary aphorisms, but it's nothing if not honest. "Girls walk this Earth all the time screwin' for free," she says. "Why is it you add business to the mix and boys like you can't stand the thought? I'll tell you. It's 'cause suddenly you don't own it the way you thought you did."

Why do we applaud when Maggie happens to dislike her husband cheating on her? She stands up for herself?? Well, what were we expecting??
So, you're saying that women of the south are being portrayed accurately for time period and place? Ok so that means that even though they're abused, used, exploited, etc...they sure seem to be loving it. Maggie only divorces her husband, not because he's a jerk but because she wants more of him, Lisa breaks up with him because she wants more of him, not less. And, Beth just can't get enough of him. Wow, I didn't know our expectations of women in the south should be soooo low. Marty doesn't even show interest in any of these women, he barely looks at them, they all come to him, offer themselves up and want his exclusive attention. Misogyny must have mysterious aphrodisiac-like powers. According to this acclaimed show anyway.

Mac, you make some good points. I agree that the men of S and the C are through the female perspective and I have laughed and rolled my eyes at their protrayal many times. But it's a silly, fun show, I would be interested to hear if you feel degraded by the show or just annoyed.
I've heard the perspective that these women in TD are just through our protag's viewpoint. I know a lot of viewers see it that way, I don't think TD does a good enough job in that respect. One of the themes of the show (besides the men's relationship with each other and with themselves, masculinity, etc) is sexual exploitation and murder, of women. It's like 'look how badly women are treated but here's some boobs and ass for your viewing pleasure' "oh look how badly men treat women but I guess they enjoy it because she sure looks satisfied (cue writhing, ooh and ahh of Beth while on top and then her begging for anal).
Olivia Gibson | March 1, 2014 1:17 PM
To address your applause for the whorehouse madam: Men DO own prostitution, they make the most money off of it and experience the least risk. Men don't have a problem with prostitutes because they benefit the most from its existence, ie gratification, license to degrade with no consequences and money. It's NOT a woman's game. Prostitutes are marginalized, they are often trafficked or runaways, with nowhere to turn, they have almost ALWAYS been sexually abused as children. The only thing men don't like about prostitutes is having to look at them after they've achieved gratification. Patronizing prostitutes is having access to a piece of flesh, get off on it and not have to have a conversation with "it" (the flesh)
If a whorehouse is actually run by a woman, it's a rare occurrence. Did those women look like they were raking in the money? Happy, clean, well taken care of? NO.
And, the women talk back? That's laughable. They do more to create hatred of them. Either they're throw away sex toys or whiny, pissy wives. The show only created the two forms of women: the throw away sex toys, Lisa, overalls girl, Dora, hookers, the drug dealer who opened her legs in offerance, the asses in the opening credits and in the strip club...and the other form: the pissy, whiny ones, Lisa once she decided to share her mouth with someone else, and Maggie who is just a destroyed, pathetic nothing reduced to getting it from behind from smelly, unsexy Rust.
Fallon | February 28, 2014 5:15 PM
Trailer park whorehouse manager refers to 'it'; so does True Detective. Female characters sell 'it', they have sex with 'it', they use 'it' vindictively and sadly, they get killed, raped, possibly molested (?daughter) because of 'it'. "It" is front and center, primary motivations for female characters. Is there ONE female character who exists outside of 'it'? Personhood is so far in the background it doesn't even exist. So, Maggie hurts Marty / uses Chole with 'it' because she's mad at her shitty husband? Wow, that's really deep. The poor daughter is now 'of age' and fair game to be defined by her 'it' also. Let me ask the females out there: do YOU exist as a HUMAN BEING or are you just ass, tits, vagina? Or, in Maggie's case you only exist to illustrate the male characters in your life?
Kit | February 28, 2014 2:45 PM
Full disclosure: I have not seen True Detective, though I'm interested. And so I can't exactly take issue with your arguments in context of the show. But the arguments themselves are troubling. I wonder, have you spent any significant time in the South? Others parts of the nation and world have a certain idea of it that is not precisely true. And 1995 was not so long ago. I was young, being raised in a rural town of women who were vibrant, strong, and multifaceted. Is my experience unique? I don't think so. Fiction has long ignored large swaths of women who did not fit into the conventional roles prescribed. Your comparison with "Girls" is troubling as well. A big hole in every critic's argument of this kind: SHOWS CAN BE MADE ABOUT ANYTHING YOU WANT AND TAKE PLACE IN ANY ENVIRONMENT (EVEN AN IMAGINED ONE). The fact that so many of our shows end up in these locations or time periods that so conveniently preclude limited roles for women isn't just an accident--it's an evidence of the industry's systemic denial of women's voices and stories. Why not make a story with two female detectives? There have been rumors that the next season will be just that. But why not begin the show that way? Have there not been enough stories about men? Maybe consider that all shows are constructed with intentionality before writing another article.

I don't know why there are women, including Emily Nussbaum, who find it difficult to understand that there is a whole history when women didn't matter, except to procreate. That there are still hundreds of square miles on this planet today where women still don't matter. That women are in "True Detective" mere cut-outs is because that's frequently the way it actually was and frequently still is. The women of the Bunny Ranch, the scorned irrational wife - these are real people who don't have too much more to offer than the story affords. Nussbaum can decide not to like it, but she's foolish to try to deny its veracity. "True Detective" is about the dark, deep, recesses of Southern men. It is brilliant in every way. Not everything has to create a character where there is none. This is actually the way that many people live. A lot of women in places all over the world and all through history are just like that. No matter how one might feel about it through one's educated, hyper-intellectualized, overly-psychoanalyzed New York lens, it's really not a subject for a value judgment. Great art allows us to go into the most interesting of places even if we don't want to live there.

The show does a good job of portraying the "dirty south", as these parts of the state are. Louisiana's only real city is New Orleans - Baton Rouge scrapes by due to film incentives. I commend the show for exposing the gritty truth of an ugly place.

Latest Player Updatesclose
Shawn Chacon
Thu Jun 18, 2009 11:48 am Athletics signed RHP Shawn Chacon to a minor league contract and assigned him to Triple-A Sacramento.
Fantasy Source Spin: The Astros released him about one year ago, but Chacon's 4.29 ERA and 29/16 K/BB ratio in 42 innings with the independent Newark Bears must have caught the eye of Oakland general manager Billy Beane. The 31-year-old is a longshot to contribute this season, or at any time in the near future.
Thu Jun 26, 2008 6:02 pm Astros requested waivers on RHP Shawn Chacon for the purpose of giving him his unconditional release.
Fantasy Source Spin: There's little doubt that Chacon will clear waivers. The Astros are doing him a favor by releasing him when they certainly could have justified keeping him on suspension for an indefinite period.
Wed Jun 25, 2008 10:55 pm Shawn Chacon, who was suspended indefinitely by the Astros, said he threw Ed Wade to the floor Wednesday after being asked to attend a meeting with the general manager and manager Cecil Cooper.
Fantasy Source Spin: Chacon said he was told sternly by Wade that he was going to have the meeting, something he didn't want to do. "He started yelling and cussing," Chacon said of Wade. "I'm sitting there and I said to him very calmly, `Ed, you need to stop yelling (at) me. Then I stood up and said 'you better stop yelling at me.' I stood up. He continued and was basically yelling and stuff and was like, `You need to (expletive) look in the mirror.' So at that point I lost my cool and I grabbed him by the neck and threw him to the ground. I jumped on top of him because at that point I wanted to beat his (butt). Words were exchanged." Chacon was pulled away from Wade by a teammate before he could do any damage, which may end up saving his career. It's still hard to imagine another team being eager to give him a chance this year.
Thu Mar 20, 2008 9:48 am Manager Cecil Cooper announced Wednesday that Shawn Chacon has secured a spot in the Astros' rotation.
Fantasy Source Spin: Chacon has a 6.92 ERA in 13 innings this spring, but had a strong outing Wednesday and has impressed more than Woody Williams and Chris Sampson. "I think at this point we'd have to say that he's got to be one of the guys," Cooper said. "The way he's pitched, he's had one bad inning his last three times out there. He's been pretty solid."
Source: Houston Chronicle
Mon Feb 18, 2008 10:28 pm The Astros and Shawn Chacon are reportedly close to an agreement on a one-year contract.
Fantasy Source Spin: It was reported a week ago that the Astros made him an offer. Chacon would battle Chris Sampson for a rotation spot, with the loser working in middle relief.
Source: FOXSports.com
Tue Feb 12, 2008 2:17 pm General manager Ed Wade said Tuesday that the Astros have made an offer to Shawn Chacon.
Fantasy Source Spin: "I'm talking to his agent but we haven't reached any agreement yet," Wade said. Chacon has said previously that he prefers to start and the Astros have at least one opening in their rotation.
Source: MLB.com
Thu Jan 24, 2008 10:16 am The Pirates and Shawn Chacon continue to discuss a deal that would bring the free agent back to Pittsburgh.
Fantasy Source Spin: Chacon's agent has been marketing him as a starter, but predictably, Chacon's phone hasn't been ringing off the hook. He was actually effective against right-handed hitters out of the bullpen last season, and will likely fill a similar role if he signs with the Pirates in '08.

What is the greatest boss battle of all time?
A pretty simple question, many legitimate answers. Personally, The End from Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater wins hands down. After two and a half hours of slowly grinding him down I was met with an incredible sense of accomplishment followed by my taking a little break because my sweaty hands were aching after gripping the controller for too long. I bought a(nother) PS2 for that game, and even though back then $300 was a lot of money, it was totally worth it. In fact, MGS3 probably had the best cast of boss battle in the history of video games. What do you guys think?

Discussion Issues: Concurrent Session on Professional Ethics
Mary C. Daly,
Fordham University School of Law
This breakout session rests on the assumption that most of the participants currently teach professional responsibility and are interested in either incorporating a globalization perspective into their courses or offering a course or seminar exclusively devoted to the globalization of the legal profession. 1
The participants will briefly exchange views at the session's beginning, identifying the academic, professional, and market forces that support the proposed modification of the traditional law of lawyering curriculum. A substantial part of the session will focus on the substantive areas in the curriculum that most easily lend themselves to a discussion of issues related to globalization and cross-border legal practice.2 For example, the participants' attention will be directed to the very stark differences in the application of the attorney-client privilege in the U.S. and European Union courts to communications between in-house counsel and a corporate client. Conflicting and inconsistent understandings of the principle of avoidance of conflicts of interest and professional independence will also be explored.
Practical suggestions will be offered including how teachers can use hypotheticals and the problem-solving method to incorporate cross-border practice issues.3 The participants will share their views on whether it is more pedagogically effective to adopt a pervasive approach, incorporating materials relating to cross-border practice and globalization throughout the curriculum, or to group these materials in a separate stand-alone chapter. The session will identify those areas in the curriculum in which a comparative perspective can correct some of the common misconceptions about the U.S. legal profession, such as the frequently repeated observation that the United States has more lawyers per capita than any other country in the world. Finally, this portion of the session will explore whether the existence of a cadre of cross-border practitioners whose ties of allegiance to the jurisdiction of licensure is attenuated threatens the traditional understandings of the role of the lawyer as an intermediary between the state and the individual and encourages lawyers and clients to view legal services simply as a commodity subject only to the rules of the marketplace.
Participants who are interested in offering a course or seminar devoted exclusively to the globalization of the legal profession will be invited to share their views on the offering's structure and content. They will also be asked to address ways of organizing the offering so that it will appeal to students whose career interests are in areas other than cross-border practice, such as family and criminal law.
At the present time, there is no text devoted exclusively to exploring professional responsibility issues in the context of cross-border practice. Several professors have assembled individual course packets for seminars on the topic and are likely to be most willing to share their material.4 Attached as Appendix D is the syllabus, an example of a research assignment, and the table of contents for Global Regulation of Lawyers: Statutes and Standards, prepared by Professor Laurel S. Terry, Penn State Dickinson School of Law, in connection with her seminar, Cross-Border Legal Practice. Attached as Exhibit E is the Table of Contents for the seminar Transnational Legal Practice taught by the presenter.

One of the men who was shot by Birmingham Mayor William Bell's security detail
during a police chase in November is suing the mayor and his security

In the federal lawsuit filed this week, Justin White claims he wasn't
doing anything wrong when the SUV carrying the mayor and his security
team began tailing White's vehicle.
White says he crashed on I-20/59 downtown because he was startled
when the SUV behind him turned on its flashing lights. He also claims
the police officers on the mayor's detail shot into his car for no

The Woodville Police Chief was convicted of a simple assault charge against him Thursday.
Chief Jessie Stewart, age 62, of Woodville, was convicted in a bench trial of simple assault before Justice Court Judge Roger Arnold.
Stewart was ordered to pay a $500 fine and $127.50 in court costs for slapping a probation officer on the buttocks while she was at the police station.
The case against Stewart was investigated by investigators Crystal Tillman, Larry Ware, Christopher Watkins, and prosecuted by Assistant Attorney General Stanley Alexander of the Attorney General's Public Integrity Division after the prosecutors and judges of Wilkinson County recused themselves.

Pals and family were in amazement of how much calm and grace she exhibited in face of the grief and loss she felt on a regular basis. Jean ( not her actual name ) lost her partner all of a sudden when he expired in an automobile crash only minutes from their home. Each morning, in the quiet moments she had before her kids awakened Jean would roll out her yoga mat and come into child's pose where she would start to sob till it was time to prepare for work. When asked how she was dealing with the grief and the extra stress in her life she thought about her yoga / breath practice. Nevertheless if you wish to use one, just say 'No, thank you' to the communal eye pillows your studio might offer.

I have always loved what Joseph Campbell announced about Carl Jung– he's an ideal example of someone that is 'grounded in perpetuity, but moving in the province of time.'** I have always sought that, since I read those words.

It is called triple-dipping, and it goes like this:
A state worker retires and collects a lump sum and a pension. The worker then goes back to work for the state. This is often a good thing, because they have institutional knowledge and don't require training, and the state isn't forced to put an employee on the full-time payroll. But to protect their pension, the workers (called annuitants) can only work for 95 days, so that's what they do.
But some, on day 96, file for unemployment compensation. And they get it. It's perfectly legal.
But that doesn't make it right. House Republican Adam Harris calls it a gluttony of benefits.
"It's not really fair for them to draw from the state pot of money that's for people who lose their jobs through no fault of their own," said Harris. "That's what the (unemployment compensation) fund is there for, and we want to protect the integrity of that fund."
Harris's bill (HB421) would stipulate that any retiree who voluntarily leaves employment to maintain retirement benefits is ineligible for unemployment. The triple-dipping ban passed the House unanimously Tuesday. Harris says good behavior shouldn't have to be legislated but sadly it does.
"This isn't right. You know you shouldn't be doing this, and I should point out most employees don't do it."
But last year Harris estimates about 200 employees did, and it cost the system nearly $2 million.
"That's $2 million we could use in education, we could use in corrections, we can fix a road. We need that revenue. We think this bill closes that loophole and that's a good thing."
The House passed similar legislation last year, but the Senate didn't take it up. A spokesman for Senate Republicans said there's support for the concept, and the bill will likely move in the coming weeks.

We're still working on it; we're in one of those periods where the idea is still alive and still resonates out there; we just have to get all the resources together to make it happen, and we believe, I believe it's still a signature piece of our company and a piece we want most to happen.
Words from an Mr Danny Glover in an interview I did with him earlier today; of course, he's referring to the Toussaint Louverture film he's been trying to make for a number of years now.
The interview was for The Black Power Mixtape, which Glover is a producer of, and which hits theaters in a limited release this Friday; but, of course, I couldn't miss slipping in a question about his Toussaint project.
I responded to his above reply by saying that I could only imagine the challenges he must be facing in trying to get a film on this subject matter financed and produced.
He laughed as I said that and added:
You don't want to hear those stories man... the stories I could write a book on... just on the process of trying to make a film about the Haitian revolution; but the project is still alive.
I'll share the rest of our conversation in a later post, but I figured this would likely be a piece of most interest to a lot of you who've been vocally hopeful about the Toussaint project.
So now you know; it's not dead. But it's not a sure-thing either; though he seems committed to seeing it come to fruition... eventually.
Was a pleasure chatting with him though; definitely what I'd call a cool cat.
Leslie de Quillacq | February 14, 2012 11:02 AM
I hope you know about Philippe Niang's Toussaint film that airs tonight, February 14, and tomorrow on the French channel 2. someone should pick it up for the US market. This is an American story.

Have you heard anymore aboout the making of the film about Nat Turner? At one time I read Spike Lee was interested in making the film,
I really hope and pray that Danny Glover gets to make this film on the Haitian Revolution, in which Toussaint was a key player, but there were also some other very brave and interesting people that should be a part of that story.

I feel like there should be more movies about black history outside of America. As well unexplored black history in The USA(like not being a slave , interracial relationships way back when, rich black folks, artistic black folks, what was going in the North at the time,etc) I can't believe this men has to fight so hard to get things done. Hollywood is so limiting.

Geez, he's from South Carolina. Quelle surprise.
the whole damn thing, I can honestly say that this is offensive and riddled with factual errors.
So says Grover Norquist in his new book "Leave Us Alone" which only proves he is not just insane but blind. He takes a map of CA by county in the 2004 election to prove his point. And bingo it's mostly red. Pity no one leaves in those areas but he can continue to delude himself.
Apparently urban California does not count in the mind of Grover Norquist.
Some 2,500 banks are S-corporations.
Ah The Confluence, aka the Cesspool. They have actually launched a new website, Pumasphere. It's a coalition of 30 some-odd blogs. The ringleaders are Darryl Murphy of PumaPac, Kimberley Haas (aka Riverbottom formerly Goldberry at the DK) and Sherri Taggles who has a photoshop obsession with Obama, she loves to dress him in diapers and then call him "Pampers". Among the founding blogs of the Pumasphere is one called Team Sarah devoted to espousing the values that Sarah Palin brings to politics. Yes because no one else comes to policy positions of Hillary Rodham Clinton like Sarah Palin. The Pumas are rank amateurs, complete neophytes when it comes to politics. I attended one of their conference calls early on. To call it chaotic is to assign a level of order that it can only aspire to. Anarchists are better organized.
Their latest project is campaigning for Harriet Christian as the next Senator for New York. They even interviewed the poor woman. The opening question was "What made you get involved in politics? Was it 9/11?"
I kid you not.
The other amusing part of the Cesspool is that they constantly get involved in blog wars with other liberal or progressive blogs. It's hysterical to read their threads. Beats Free Republic for sheer comedic lunacy. Every time they get questioned about being a liberal blog, Riverbottom writes a post call read our credo. I've been tempted to fire back and tell her to read her blog. The common denominator is Obama hate pure, simple and unadulterated. They seek to be outraged for the sake of being outraged. They love to talk about how "tolerant" they are even though they constantly disparage any and all Obama supporters as "obots" and then any time someone happens to leave a dissenting voice, it is quickly banished. It's all quite amusing.
Not to mention time.
Here's a report in English:
Thanks for introducing me to the Reading Liberally group. Surprisingly, there isn't one for San Francisco, so it seems like I will have to start one.
Too funny. I wonder how "oh my god" moments Boehner will have during the Obama Administration. The more the merrier.
I hadn't. Thanks. It is amazing how rich the diaries are on myDD.
I think you're right. I really would love to hear his explanation on it though I don't he'll ever be completely candid on the matter.
I have always said that Obama is a just another politician with attributes and flaws. One of my bigger criticisms was that I thought that his was the politics of expediency. I'll do what I can, not what I should.
But I really would like to know what he actually he himself believes in.
Yours is a "separate but equal" argument and it does not fly. The reason "marriage" is important is that word confers thousands of rights universally. It's not enough that I might be able to marry in Massachusetts or Connecticut and yet have that marriage not recognized everywhere else. My marriage rights have to be national. I hope you can understand that.
I have never been a gay activist but I am rapidly becoming one. I want an explanation on how he could go in reverse on this issue. I honestly feel betrayed. Not that I am going to throw the baby out with the bathwater either. I do realize that "saving the country" is more important. But it seems when it comes to trampling rights, it's okay to trample mine because after all I am only gay. What choice do I have but to vote Democratic?
Wow, you just gained a fan.

There are actually pirates off the Mosquito Coast. They largely attack yatchs.
Panama is capable of defending the canal but the canal isn't what it used to be. It's outdated and too small to handle the supersized container ships now used in global trade. Rail across the isthumus now accounts for something like 20% of goods crossing Panama. The notion that Venezuela is going to block the canal is just plain nonsense. Chavez may be an ass but he's not an idiot. He's largely bluster. Trust me, I am no fan of Chavez and not to say he's harmless but his bark is worst than his bite.

Mortgage pass-through certificates entitle the investor to distributions from underlying pools of mortgages. A key aspect of these securities are the credit ratings given to them by the ratings agencies. In In re Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities Litigation, 2011 WL 1778726 (2d Cir. May 11, 2010), the court considered whether these ratings agencies, by allegedly helping to "determine the composition of loan pools, the certificates' structures, and the amount and kinds of credit enhancement of particular tranches" could be liable under Section 11 of the '33 Act for misstatements in the certificates' offering documents.
The plaintiffs' argued that the ratings agencies activities made them "underwriters" of the securities and therefore subject to Section 11 liability. The court disagreed, finding that "to qualify as an underwriter under the participation prongs of the statutory definition, a person must participate, directly or indirectly, in purchasing securities from an issuer with a view to distribution, in offering or selling securities for an issuer in connection with a distribution, or in the underwriting of such an offering." The fact that the ratings agencies played a role in "structuring or creating" the securities was insufficient to find that they acted as underwriters. Nor had the plaintiffs adequately alleged that the ratings agencies controlled the primary violators. The court found that "allegations of advice, feedback, and guidance fail to raise a reasonable inference that the Ratings Agencies had the power to direct, rather than merely inform, the banks' ultimate structuring decisions."
Holding: Dismissal of claims against ratings agencies affirmed.Posted by Lyle Roberts at May 13, 2011 10:31 PM | TrackBack

The University of Queensland (UQ) is a uniquely Australian representation of a classic university campus. Its campus, which sits along the Brisbane River, features distinctive sandstone buildings framed by flowering jacaranda trees along with cafes, playing fields, and lawns. At the same time, the campus is less than 5 miles from the center of Brisbane, providing for plenty of off-campus experiences.
With over 35,000 students, it's not surprising that UQ has more than 60 academic departments and 4,000 courses on offer every year. You can study anything from architecture to marine biology and psychology. Government and industry funded Cooperative Research Centres in fields such as mining, infectious diseases, tropical plant protection, and Aboriginal health illustrate the comprehensive nature of research and teaching that goes on at the University of Queensland.
During a semester at UQ, you can expect to take four courses per semester to earn 16 US credits. Your courses will be taught through a combination of lectures and tutorials, and you will be expected to show a great amount of individual initiative. Whether you are studying history or physics, a student body hailing from all regions of Australia and the world means you'll be introduced to an international perspective.
Outside the classroom, you'll find some of the best sporting facilities of any Australian university. Recreational facilities, including a pool, ball fields, and open spaces are scattered throughout the campus. The Student Union organizes a wide range of clubs and societies that offer opportunities to integrate with Australian and other international students. Restaurants, cafes, and entertainment venues are also scattered throughout the campus giving you plenty of options if you want to sit and have a cup of coffee or enjoy a meal. Across the lawns, you'll also find accommodation at the residential colleges, although many students choose to live in Arcadia managed apartments within a short bus ride of campus.

I entered a contest to win a gift form Keith Urban and recieved a 4G Infuse phone form him still in box with all documentation form AT&T. I never connected the phone and kept it in box. I had hoped to connect the phone but after checking in with AT&T their service for the phone was more than my budget will allow and I don't want to switch phone companys at this time been with Spring for 23 yrs and had just bought a phone form them so cannot afford to keep the phone it is very nice and I hate to get rid of it but maybe it will help me see him in concert this year. Serious inquiries only please. Thank You.

When the Sixers first got Brand he was labeled all sorts of things, when the only thing wrong with him was that he was hurt. Eddie Jordan actually pushed him to the 2nd team. Stefanski was highly critcized for this move, but now that the team is successful, no one is talking about Elton.
I thought he would be the most loved Sixer by now. He shows up every night, he plays hurt doesn't complain and acts like a complete Professional. He is an East Coaster, and the Sixers are very fortunate to have him. He's made to play out of position and guards people bigger than he without making excuses or backing down.
No one even talks about him during the game chats. I don't get it, the only thing that Brand doesn't do is open his mouth, but he is clearly a leader on the floor and sets a great example with his work ethic and effort.
Elton is becoming my favorite Sixer for a lot of reasons. I'd rather see a post about him than another one about Evan Turner. Maybe some of you posters might stop sniffing his jock for a minute to talk about a real player, and the Sixers most solid performer.

MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) - Police have arrested an attempted murder suspect they've been searching for since January.
According to incident reports from Myrtle Beach Police, police responded to a reported shooting on Dennison Avenue on January 17 and found a man who claims someone shot at his car four times.
The victim recalled that the suspect was driving a white Crown Victoria and was following him on Highway 501 before they turned onto Dennison Avenue. He identified the suspect as 26-year-old Jamal Antwaun Lewis of Kingstree and explained the two of them have had problems in the past.
The report states several bullet casings were found in the roadway and bullet holes were found in the victim's car.
It turns out Jamal Lewis was also wanted for a similar incident reported in June 2012. The two victims of that crime drove to the police station to say a man in burgundy Honda Accord shot at their car shortly after they left the movie theater.
One of the bullets flattened their tire, and they pulled into the parking lot of a nearby restaurant. After changing the tire, they continued on to the police station but a white Crown Victoria met them on the highway and fired at them.
The victims then said they drive furiously to the police station to report what happened.
Luckily no one was injured during either incident.
Jamal Antwaun Lewis was booked into J. Reuben Long Detention Center on Thursday, April 11 and charged with three counts of attempted murder, three counts of possession of a weapon during a violent crime, and six counts of the manufacture and distribution of crack cocaine.

I would like to wish all the fathers a blessed and happy Fathers' Day 2012. It is a hard time to be a parent of a youngster, not to mention an adolescent or youth. The challenges are great, in direct proportion to the rewards. I'd like to congratulate the young fathers who are stepping up and participating in their children's lives, especially when society equates parenting with one's largess or paycheck.

The Athens, Ohio community remains in mourning today for the loss of former starting nose tackle Marcellis Williamson, who died Wednesday of unspecified causes just months after wrapping his final season of college football and earning his degree. The Ohio Bobcats' official website has posted an official statement from head coach Frank Solich:
Marcellis had a wonderful personality and was appreciated, not by just his football family, but by others on campus. He was an excellent football player whose ability to supply leadership to the program was respected by his teammates. He was devoted to being as good as he could be on the field, in the weight room and in the classroom. We offer our deepest sympathies and condolences to his family.
The university has also established a memorial fund to help the Williamson family with Marcellis' funeral expenses. Donations can be made online, dropped off at any Dollar Bank location, or mailed to this address:

Mets All-Star pitcher Matt Harvey may be out next season, but that hasn't stopped him from scoring a home run with girlfriend Anne Vyalitsyna.
Harvey gave a shout-out on Instagram to Russian-born Anne V, as she is known — and who also happens to be one of the world's top models — for being stellar during his painful elbow surgery last week. He wrote: "Very special surgery helper who watched the whole thing. Amazing gf she is!!! Everything went extremely well."
Very special surgery support. @AnneV!!! She is the best. Everything went extremely well!! pic.twitter.com/LNPGGOwMza—
Matt Harvey (@MattHarvey33) October 23, 2013
Harvey and the model met at a New York Rangers game in May. Since then the two have been inseparable. Before the surgery, Vyatlisnyna, 27, and Harvey, 24, were spotted house-hunting together downtown. Vyatlisnyna just put her own apartment, a two-bedroom, two-bath unit on Fulton Street, on the market for $1.5 million, reports The Post's Jennifer Gould Keil.
Harvey currently lives in a two-bedroom rental on East 10th Street. Reps for both declined to comment.

Here we are, the crew from the Toledo Ohio Miami Dolphin Fanclub. Jeff & Rose, Bob, and myself.
DC$,......made this one. The ball is in there somewhere,...
On a side note; it always amazes me of some fans can so easily dish it out, but can NOT take it. And, I never understood the whole homo referrence thing just because one roots for the opposing team. It seems to be a last resort for not being able to defend ones point of veiw at football games. Me,....everytime after CJ Spiller got the ball I would yell,.....C ! J ! Gets Tackled !!! I'm sure they loved that one, after all the all beleive he is the savior for the team. Here is a thing of beauty.
After the game I headed to where the team buses were parked to see what I could get into. Here is our guy Jake Long. Soon after this pic was taken I went to do my famous take my own picture move. I had what we call here an " Epic Failure" !!!
This time it worked, Me & A Fasano.
I got to spend a few moments chatting with one of our newest Dolphins and former Buckeye, Bobby Carpenter. Nothing like chatting about Dolphins & Buckeyes at the same time,.....F'n awesome in my book !!!
This pic sums up my day at Ralph Wilson Stadium. I'm one happy camper. When I told this pic a Bills fan shouted "taking a pic with all your friends ?". "No" I replied,......" Just looking to take a pic of this toilet before you lost your team to another city".
All in all it just about as good of a day as one could want. Tailgated with some new & old friends, a Dolphins victory, and a safe trip home. Life is good !
Until next time...

Sex Offender Arrested for Failing to Register as Convicted Sex Offender
Lexington County Sheriff's Department deputies on Monday, July 15 arrested a 52-year-old West Columbia man who was wanted on an arrest warrant that was issued after the man failed to register with the Sheriff's Department as a convicted sex offender. The man previously was convicted in federal court of possessing child pornography.
At the time of the arrest, Lexington County Sheriff James R. Metts said Thomas Patrick Sullivan, 52, of 124 Phillip Drive, West Columbia, was naked and performing a sexual act as he watched adult pornography on a computer in a shed outside the Phillip Drive residence. Sullivan was booked at the Lexington County Detention Center at 6:44 p.m. on Monday. Sullivan was released from the Detention Center on Tuesday, July 16 after posting a $1,092.50 bond.
Under South Carolina law, Sullivan is required to register with the Sheriff's Department as a convicted sex offender because Sullivan was convicted in federal court in South Carolina on August 17, 2007 of possessing child pornography, Metts said. Detectives obtained an arrest warrant for Sullivan after Sullivan failed to register with the Sheriff's Department as a convicted sex offender.
Deputies went to an air-conditioned shed outside the Phillip Drive home and found that Sullivan was naked and was performing a sexual act while he watched adult pornography on a large computer monitor, Metts said. Deputies then arrested Sullivan.

More than 70,000 people are delinquent on their mortgages here in Nevada. Even more are underwater, which means they owe more than their home is worth. Foreclosures have dropped over the past two years, but they're expected to pick up again.
On Tuesday night, six local real estate and legal experts held a seminar to help distressed homeowners. The free seminar was held at Depoali Middle School in Southwest Reno. About 60 people showed up to learn from the experts who all donated their time.
One of the issues that is confusing to homeowners is that the rules and programs for short sales and foreclosures change constantly, and keeping up with the changes is a full time job. Local attorney Jamie Cogburn says it's important to know what your options are. "The most popular are re-finance, loan modification and short sale," said Cogburn.
Carlos Mejia has been trying to modify his loan for three years. "My house is underwater. I bought it for a higher price and now it's worth $220,000, I bought it for $450,000," he said. Mejia says he's still making his payments, but he needs to find out what his future holds. "I want to keep my house," said Mejia. "But when I call they send me papers telling me instead of paying less, I'll be paying more."
Every situation is different, but there is help available. And the real estate experts say banks are constantly changing the way they handle distressed homes. Cogburn says knowing whether you plan to stay in your home for the long term will help you decide if you should modify the loan or sell your house. "You really need to figure out what your long term goal is and look at your financial situation and figure out which option is best for you," said Cogburn.
Emma Post of the Nevada Hardest Hit Fund talked about grants from the federal government that are available to qualifying Nevada homeowners. Those grants are designed to help reduce the principal on home loans that are underwater. "The latest one was about $1,700 and as much as $240,0000 written off," Post told the audience.
Cogburn says Assembly Bill 284 stalled foreclosures in Nevada for the past two years, but he expects that to change. "We're already seeing foreclosures start to pick up," he said. "They always slow down during the holidays, but after the first of the year, especially with the presidential election over, you're going to see foreclosures pick up drastically."
The panelists did say that if you've tried to modify your loan or arrange a short sale, you may want to try again since some of the programs have changed, just in the past two weeks.

A man died Wednesday after apparently shooting himself in front of police at a park in Newport Beach, a police official reported.
At about 5:45 p.m., Newport police received a call from the Orange County Sheriff's Department requesting assistance in finding a man who had been reported as missing, according to Kathy Lowe, Newport Beach police spokeswoman.
"Officers located the individual, who was sitting in his vehicle, in the parking lot of Arroyo Park," Lowe said in a released statement. "When responding officers attempted to contact the individual inside the vehicle, he displayed a handgun and shot himself.
"I do not have any specific details regarding any communication between the officers and the victim," added Lowe.
The man was taken to a local hospital where he died of his injuries, Lowe said.
His name is being withheld pending notification of his family.
No other information was released.

The Virginian-Pilot of Norfolk reports (http://bit.ly/15XNyBa) that federal officials have requested bids to extend fencing in the 4,500-acre refuge from the dunes to the marsh. The move would effectively block the herd's access to a large section of the refuge. Bids are due this week.
More than 100 acres already are enclosed by an electric fence. The barbed wire fence would extend the barrier from ocean to sound.
Karen McCalpin, director of the Corolla Wild Horse Fund, said barbed wire is dangerous to wild horses and deer. She said a cut from rusty barbed wire can get infected or cause tetanus.

Glamour girl Jordan aka Katie Price has formed an unlikely alliance with Justin Bieber. The busty model has made friends with Bieber and has taken him to Hamleys toy store and has bought his a remote controlled car.
Katie Price also took her kids to see a wax model of Justin Bieber at Madame Tussaud's; Jordan's kids are a big fan of Justin Bieber's music and love the blonde moppet with his cute mop of hair.
Proud mum Katie could not take her eyes off clean cut Justin and she said 'I keep looking at him and I can't believe how good looking he is'. Katie invited him to go to Hamley's with her brood and look around the toy department. Junior hit it off with Bieber and they had a great time playing with the train sets and remote controlled robots and cars. Princess enjoyed talking to Bieber and seeing him dancing and singing to the High School Musical and Glee karaoke as well as playing on the musical Wii.
Jordan invited Bieber to go for tea at the Ritz and she demurely ate cucumber sandwiches and petits-four with baby faced Bieber who had no idea who Katie Price was and how she had found celebrity.
Bieber was under the impression that Katie was some kind of wealthy member of the London aristocracy and that she had some kind of tenuous link with the Royal Family.
The glamour girl invited Bieber to come and stay at her palatial home in the county, "Gee" said Bieber "I can't wait to play with Katie's toys at her cabin in the country". He is under the impression that Katie is a super mum and her intentions are strictly honourable. Watch out Justin, Katie is longing to play doctors and nurses with you!

EYEWITNESS LOCAL NEWSMan Charged With Sexually Assaulting Putnam County Convenience Store Clerk
from Eyewitness News Online
Reported by: Jeff Morris
Reported: Jun. 25, 2014 3:51 PM EDT
Updated: Jun. 25, 2014 11:19 PM EDT
Hurricane , Putnam County , West Virginia
A Dunbar man has been charged with sexually assaulting a female clerk at the Speedway on Teays Valley Road in Hurricane, court documents said.
Nicholas D. Taylor, 21, is charged with second-degree sexual assault and public intoxication after an incident that occurred at the store about 1 a.m. Wednesday, according to a criminal complaint filed in Putnam County Magistrate Court.
The clerk told 911 operators that she was sexually assaulted by a white male in his early 20s who was wearing no shirt. She said he had chest tattoos at a Batman tattoo on his arm. A Putnam County sheriff's deputy detained a male who he spotted standing in a parking lot and identified him as Taylor, the complaint said.
The deputy said he transported Taylor, who had a strong alcohol odor on his breath, across the street to the Speedway, and the victim positively identified Taylor as the male who sexually assaulted her. The complaint said the clerk reported that Taylor had lured her into the bathroom at the store and sexually assaulted her.

To those who reject Our signs and treat them with arrogance, no opening will there be of the gates of heaven, nor will they enter the garden, until the camel can pass through the eye of the needle. Such is Our reward for those in sin. (Quran 7:40)
And those who feared their Lord will be led to the Garden in crowds, until behold, they arrive there. Its gates will be opened, and its keepers will say: 'Peace be upon you! You have done well! Enter here, to dwell therein.' (Quran 39:73)Ubadah narrated that the Prophet Muhammad said: "If anyone testifies that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah Alone Who has no partners, and that Muhammad is his slave and His Apostle, and that Jesus is Allah's slave and His Apostle and His word which He bestowed on Mary and a spirit created by Him, and that Paradise is true, and Hell is true, Allah will admit him into Paradise through any of its eight gates he likes."
Abu Hurairah narrated that the Prophet said: "Whoever spends two things in the way of Allah will be called from the gates of Paradise and will be addressed, 'O slave of Allah, here is prosperity!' So whoever was among the people who used to offer their prayers will be called from the gate of prayer; and whoever was among the people who used to participate in jihad will be called from the gate of jihad; and whoever was among those who used to observe fasts will be called from the gate of ar-Rayyaan; and whoever was among those who used to give in charity will be called from the gate of charity."
It is natural to wonder: What will happen to those people who have earned the privilege to enter Jannah through more than one gate? Abu Bakr had the same question, and he eagerly asked the Prophet Muhammad: "Will there be anyone who will be called from all these gates?" The Prophet answered him, "Yes. And I hope you will be one of them."
The most commonly-cited list of the eight doors of Jannah includes:

Judge's concern at Southampton man's 'absurd' behaviour towards police
11:08am Wednesday 12th February 2014 in News
A JUDGE spoke of his concern about a Southampton man's attitude to the police when he spared him a prison sentence.
The city crown court heard how police wanted to speak to Fraidoon Hamidy about an alleged incident at his former girlfriend's home.
Prosecutor Ed Elton said that while driving down Chapel Road, two support officers saw him and one ordered him to wait.
But Hamidy ran off, throwing down a fast food meal he was eating and discarding a jacket and a hat. He was pursued into a churchyard where with his fists clenched, he waved his arms around and struck one officer on the hands, causing him to suffer small cuts to a palm and a finger.
Hamidy, 22, of Bursledon Road, admitted obstruction and breaching a conditional discharge imposed at the crown court for damaging his ex-girlfriend's clothing and household effects.
Defence barrister Charles Gabb said it was an absurd way for Hamidy to behave. "He has a lot of growing up to do and his behaviour was completely unacceptable."
Judge Derwin Hope told Hamidy he was concerned about his attitude and behaviour. "The pre-sentence report says you don't have a proper approach to police officers in particular. They have an extremely difficult time and it should not be made more difficult by your attitude. It has to change."
Hamidy received a 100-hour community order, 18 months' supervision and told to pay £180 costs and a £60 surcharge.

Although free agency is still over two hours away, deals are starting to come fast and furious. The New Orleans Saints handled some important business as they re-signed wide receiver Marques Colston to a five year contract worth a reported $40 million, with $19 million guaranteed. The Saints receiver has a good thing going with Drew Brees and it only makes sense for him to stick around there.
Although the 49ers added Randy Moss last night (at a reported $2.5 million with $1.5 million in incentives per Adam Schefter), they are potentially still in the market for a wide receiver. Mike Wallace and Vincent Jackson could be off the board for the 49ers, but there are still some intriguing options, including guys like Robert Meachem, Mario Mannigham, and of course their own Joshua Morgan. I suggest Wallace might be off the board in part because of the sizable first year salary the 49ers would need to pay him. There is a lot of business to take care of and it is possible the 49ers just won't have the space to front load the deal.
Free agency gets going at 1:00 p.m. pacific. I'll post pertinent rumors where possible, but for now, go ahead and use this as sort of an open thread for free agency news and rumors.

Tomorrow, Thursday Feb 7 2013, the Big 4 Bridge is open although incomplete. The bridge, as seen in the top photo taken around July 6, 2001 was a rail bridge crossing the Ohio River between Louisville Kentucky and Jeffersonville Indiana.
The bottom photo is much newer and it's not a pedestrian bridge connecting the same areas. Or it WILL connect the same areas in the summer when the Southern Indiana portion of the ramp is complete! It will connect Louisville's Waterfront Park area to a small park area being developed in Jeffersonville Indiana.
The ramps are really awesome and have neat multicolored changing lights on them. The bridge has safety rails, lights and benches. I'm looking forward to riding to the opening tomorrow and checking it out! This will make my commute to work infinitely more safe as opposed to crossing the four lane Clark Memorial, or 2nd Street, bridge.
For history on the Big 4 Bridge, if thats' your thing, look here.
You Don't Have to Be Superhuman to Commute by Bicycle
These are people who travel many miles at a pace more like 10 miles an hour. They wear regular clothes and ride the bikes that they can afford.
But everyone who bikes in New York or any other city has certain things in common. The Type-A strivers on their carbon-fiber steeds; the skinny-jeans-wearing fixie riders; the elevator repairman in work clothes on his anonymous hybrid; the fashionable businesswoman on her folder; the 82-year-old photographer on his cruiser. All of them benefit from an increased recognition that bicycles are a legitimate way to get from one place to another, and that you don't have to be some kind of a freak to use them.

Article from the Huffington Post about Lebron James and his recent bike commuting to practices and games. Good news! (I wonder if that bike is the right size for him though.)
MIAMI — LeBron James at some point lost count.
Actually, he never started keeping track. At some point this season, he occasionally began riding his bicycle to practice instead of driving.
Then it turned into riding to morning shootarounds.
And then games.
James introduced his passion for riding when he was spotted on his bike on the way to the Heat's game against the Chicago Bulls last January. Fatigue had little effect, with James scoring 35 points in a 97-93 victory.
Suddenly, James was spending more time on the bike than driving around in expensive cars. The added conditioning is why he seems to have no problem logging 42 minutes in the most routine of games. That was James' stat line in the Heat's 103-92 comeback victory against the Minnesota Timberwolves Tuesday at AmericanAirlines Arena.
He has since added it into his conditioning program. The result has him averaging 37.6 minutes, topping 40 nine times this season.
"He's just a freak of nature," Timberwolves forward Kevin Love said. "He's very durable. He just has all the tools and continues to get better. Everyone knows that he'll be a big problem (for opposing teams) for a really long time."
Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said the plan was to remove James once the game was in hand Tuesday, but the Timberwolves made a late run. Guard Dwyane Wade was done for the night while James was closing yet another game.
"I would have preferred that it would have been 37 [minutes] if we could have taken that lead to 25," said Spoelstra, who refers to James' conditioning as "world-class." "We weren't able to do it. He wasn't even breathing heavy."
James has made the bike ride from his Coconut Grove home three times this season. Each trek takes from about 30 to 45 minutes, depending if James is "pushing it." Last Saturday he made the trip four times in one day, riding to shootaround and back in the morning. A few hours later, he rode back and forth for the game against Washington Wizards.
The last trip occurred about an hour after the Heat's 30-point victory.
"I got lights on my bike," James said. "I'm serious. This isn't a joke. Of course, safety first."
James risks the chance of being noticed during one of his many rides. His solution is simple: "People try to stop me but I'm in a zone."
Sort of like James' on the court this season. He's once again putting up numbers to deserve regular-season most valuable player consideration. James is averaging 25.4 points, 8.6 rebounds and 6.7 assists, yet still feels the need to improve.
"I don't know," James said. "I just have a drive to continue to improve and just continue to fight through it. (Monday) I was extremely tired but I got some more work in. I'm just trying to push through. As a leader, I want to continue to push through. I've got a personal vendetta against myself right now. I'm just trying to push the button, I guess push the envelope."
As to why he has the vendetta against himself, James said, "because I don't like me."
Of course, he was joking. It is all part of his attempt to become one of the greatest this league has seen. He is currently considered the game's best. Now, he is trying to solidify himself among the all-time greats, along with the likes of Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan.
"I want to maximize everything I can and not waste an opportunity each and every day to compete and get better as a player," James said. "I want to be the best. You've got to push the button sometimes."

George Michalopulos, author and frequent contributor to AOI just launched the Monomakhos blog (it means one who fights alone) with this theme in mind: Enough of the ethic stagnation and Ruritanian triumphalism. It's time for our bishops to get on the stick and stop playing games. This country's too great to let us watch it continue its downward slide. Christianity conquered the Roman Empire and gave birth to Western Civilization. So why should we stop now? George is a historian, essayist (many of his essays appear on AOI and OrthodoxyToday.org), patriot, and father. He's impatient with obscurantism and moral poseurs.

Apple iPhone 4 (CDMA)
Reviewed by L0RDANGUS (Currently owns)
Let me start off by saying that I love this phone. The slick modern design mixed with the crazy detail of the Retina Display makes this by far the best phone to look at and hold. The camera and software on the other hand I do have problems with. While the camera is not terrible it isn't the best camera you can have in a phone, but it is pretty darn close. The software (iOS5) is great at doing what it does best, which is being extremely reliable and user friendly. I just wish iOS had a little more stuff going for it, like widgets.
So, if you like amazing hardware design, reliable and easy to use software, a decent camera, and things that just work, go with this phone. That's why I did.
If you need something that is more customizable, or has a crazy ass camera, you might want to go with something else.

For all of you who are betting on a card to mass-produce inexpensively, let your kids shuffle up a pack of these, and their valentines will love the hands they've been dealt.
Use a pencil to trace around a playing card onto card stock, then cut out the traced shape.
On one side, write the letter A on 2 corners as shown (make one A upside down, as on a real playing card). Decorate with heart stickers and add a message like "You're a real Ace" or "You're an Ace in my book." On the other side, write who the card is to and from.

Bethlehem Steel Corp. has been charged by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration with two violations of federal job safety laws.
The citations, involving the maintenance and safe operation of overhead cranes, carry proposed penalties totaling $11,000. The company can appeal.
Acting on a confidential worker complaint, OSHA inspected the local plant in May, according to George Tomchick, supervisor of the agency's Allentown area office. Several alleged crane safety violations were found, he said.

Keeping your dog safe at home is a must for all dog owners. SportDOG Brand can help. Whether your dog hunts, trials or is a full-time companion, our containment system provides freedom and safety for $1,000's less than conventional fencing. Our in-ground fencing is easy to install and versatile enough to accommodate just about any yard or area. More than one dog to contain? No problem, simply purchase additional collars. Like all of our products, our containment system and components are backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty.
Safe and effective for all dogs over 10 pounds, the SportDOG Brand® In-Ground Fence System's transmitter is powerful enough to cover up to 100 acres of land. Installation is as simple as burying the wire around the perimeter of your yard and plugging in the transmitter. Your dog wears a correction collar that receives a signal from the wire and warns him if he ventures too close to the perimeter. The waterproof collar receiver allows for four adjustable levels of correction plus tone and vibration mode. The system is expandable to include any number of dogs with the purchase of additional collar receivers. Follow the training instructions included with your SportDOG Brand® In-Ground Fence System to get your dog acquainted with his new boundaries and he will be staying safely in your yard in no time!
A Containment System is the cost-effective alternative to traditional fencing. You create an in-ground hidden fence using a boundary wire. The detailed instructional video and/or DVD guides you through the easy-to-follow self-installation process.
When your dog is wearing a containment collar and approaches the boundary area, he hears a warning tone. If he continues toward the boundary, he receives a harmless but effective electrical stimulus that reminds him to stay in the "safe" part of the yard.
You can also use a containment system to block off areas such as gardens, swimming pools, or anywhere else you don't want your dog to go. If you have a traditional fence, but a dog who likes to dig under or jump over it, installing the boundary wire just inside the perimeter of the fence could be your answer.
Most importantly, these systems provide freedom for your dog to run AND peace of mind for you.
