Notre Dame forward Jack Cooley celebrates after the team's 64-50 victory over Kentucky in an NCAA college basketball game Thursday, Nov. 29, 2012, in South Bend, Ind. (AP Photo/Joe Raymond)
Updated: January 1, 2013 6:37AM
SOUTH BEND — Scott Martin walked calmly off the court after Notre Dame's 64-50 victory over Kentucky with a rush of steamy fans cheering lustily at his back.
They had all spilled out of the stands, thinking perhaps that the Irish had just done something really special.
One of the young guys, Cameron Biescheid, a spindly 6-6 freshman whom Mike Brey had upbraided after he pulled him out of the game earlier for taking a lousy shot, was squarely in the arms of an Irish student. He was new. He had never done the celebration thing before. He will be forgiven for partaking in the premature celebration. One day he will be old and he will learn.
Martin shook Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick's hand as he made a beeline to the locker room.
Ho, hum, just another win. A sweet win. A huge win for the fans and for the program but not an unexpected victory at all for the Irish players and coaches. They expect to beat teams at home, even defending national champions with Wildcats plastered on the back on their jerseys. Kentucky was ranked eighth in the Associated Press poll and ND not at all.
It's early — the polls are wrong. The Wildcats aren't very good yet.
Knowing what he did about his team and about what he expected, there was no way Martin was going to be part of the over-the-top celebration. Let the fans have their moment, however unintentionally embarrassing it was. He was going to get some ice and find an easy chair.
"I'm old and my knee hurt," he said. "I figured I'd get out the way. I got to experience that last year. Obviously, it wasn't a huge upset. In our mind, we were closely matched."
In fact, they weren't that closely matched at all and it really wasn't an upset at all.
It's pretty simple. The idea that this was some kind of epic matchup between a storied program (Kentucky) and a giant killer (Notre Dame) was just an idea.
The Wildcats have a boat load of young talent. But that's what it is. Young talent. Immature talent. Players who are prone to fall for the countless ball fakes and endless picks and rolls that the Irish can exhaust a team with. Players who have no idea how good Notre Dame is at Purcell (41-1 in the last 42 games).
Players who could, as Kentucky coach John Calipari said, play pretty good defense for 25 seconds and then forget about the last 10.
That is about when the Irish would get ready to strike.
For Calipari, it was a frustrating evening. He didn't necessarily expect to win but he did expect his guys to not get beat for the loose balls.
He expected them to play hard and compete.
He expected way more in the effort department.
He didn't get it. What they got instead was an old fashioned butt whipping.
"This wasn't two teams battling and Notre Dame wins," Calipari said. "This was them grinding us out. That's what we usually do and then them beating us by whatever they wanted to."
For the Wildcats, this piece of humble pie could become a regular affair.
Calipari complained about coaching a new team every year but the grumbling is hypocritical. His goal is to recruit guys that are all good enough to play in the NBA.
He wants a team full of one-and-done guys and, in Kentucky, he has the basketball capital to get those type of players.
It's a spectacular high-risk, high-reward strategy — one that can easily lead to nights where the Wildcats look like a Division II school when compared to the poise and experience of an older team like Notre Dame.
Notre Dame coach Mike Brey called it a fun night. But it wasn't a historic night. It just meant that the old guys were better this time. Much better.

Wedding Party
And you thought a plate was just a plate. Read up on our china primer.
Photo: David Prince
China is, traditionally, the centerpiece of any wedding registry. But even if your idea of entertaining is ordering pizza for the gang, there are many pros to registering for elegant tableware: It's the center of any table setting, can inject loads of style into your home decor, and it's a big investment. China is something you can keep forever, maybe pass along to your children one day. We'll help you learn the lingo, figure out your personal style, and care for it once you take it home.
Some bridal gurus advocate buying two china sets: one formal, one casual. But there's no real need to buy two sets if you don't want to. True china, once reserved for special occasions, is now making its way to everyday use.
Today it is absolutely acceptable, even hip, to mix patterns. An easy way to mix and match is to vary different prints or colors of the same pattern. Or blend different types of china to create a funkier look.
Some bridal gurus advocate buying two china sets: one formal, one casual. But there's no real need to buy two sets if you don't want to.
Place settings come in either 4- or 5-piece sets. The 4-piece place setting, usually found in casual china sets, includes a dinner plate, salad/dessert plate, soup/cereal bowl, and mug. The 5-piece setting, typical of formal china, includes a dinner plate, salad/dessert plate, bread plate, and a cup and saucer.
Check out our detailed wedding registry checklist for all your china essentials.

Chesterfield's Board of Supervisors voted last week to enact a new noise ordinance. The Virginia Supreme Court had ruled that Chesterfield's previous ordinance, much like that of Virginia Beach, was too general and invalidated the county's noise law. The police department has not enforced the noise ordinance since the spring.
The new ordinance fixed the problems with the old ordinance and added a few new items, including rules on noise from parties, eliminating restrictions on noises from farm animals, and setting a fine starting at $100 with a maximum of $500.
The county's new noise ordinance restricts noise in residential areas due to lawn maintenance from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m.; trash and recycling pickup is restricted between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m.; and music from vehicles should not be heard more than 50 feet away.
Noise from pets or other animals should not be heard inside another person's home or from 50 feet away for 10 consecutive minutes. The rule for music or television noise is similar; it must not be heard in another person's home or from 50 feet from the device between midnight and 7 a.m.
Ten or more people gathered at one home between midnight and 7 a.m. must not make enough noise to be heard 50 away or in another person's home.
firstname.lastname@example.com | 751-0421
This new ordinance restriction really has not only my family fed up but my landlords who have been living in the same place on the same driveway, which by the way, has 2 houses on it for 30+ years. We have this church next door to us, at the beginning of our several HUNDRED foot driveway and we are at the very END of the driveway, mind you, and the noise ordinance restriction does not touch them AT ALL! The police have been called multiple time in the past and both families had to "give up" because churches are not touched at all by this. Not only does the church hold lock-ins outside and the kids/teenagers and adulta feel as though they can walk down our driveway when there is a no trespassing sign posted, but ever since the church acquired new owners the music and bass literally SHAKES my home. My dog in return gets worked up because glass objects are shaking in my house, my daughter gets scared and can't sleep at night, I already suffer from migraines and the days I don't have them I obtain them from all of this. The pastor has been spoken to and even was invited over to hear the sound and how loud it was but stated it wasn't his congregation, it was the other pastor's but he would speak to him, then preceded to say the bothersome noise wasn't that loud. They have down lawn care before 7am, and tonight I just had to walk my ENTIRE driveway which is almost a 5-10 minute walk at 10:45pmto ask whoever was in charge to turn the cconstruction machinery off because my family can't sleep and my daughter is upset because of all the noise and on top of that trying to keep both my dogs that never bark to stop barking. This is NOT OK! Why should my family and my wonderful landlords have to suffer like this? We have other houses behind our property and I have no idea if they can hear the noise, but my one question is whatever happened to one of the ten commandments that state respect thy neighbor? If they are Christian and believe in Jesus and God as I do, why won't they respect us when we not only spoke to them first then had to result into calling the police which by the way never came out? This truly is unfair to me, my family, my landlords and my surrounding neighbors. We (my landlords and my family) have absolutely no issue during the day but when it the unnecessary noise starts before 7am and after 9 even up to 11pm this really is not justified for us tax payers who have to work twice as hard to pay the rising costs of this counth. For others reading this and say I shouldn't live in a neighborhood, I don't I live on a main road set back in the woods, so please do not say anything regarding that, thank you.
I've called the police department on several occasions and the dispatcher always does nothing and always gives excuses for the issues so I stopped calling. Last year there were hunters actually shooting down a public road which is very dangerous and all she told me was sir they're hunting and this is hunting season so it's okay. Then I've called several times about loud parties all night at neighbors houses and still nothing done. Chesterfield Police Department has fallen apart and they need to remember they work for us and need to uphold the laws and ordinances that they were appointed too!
People in our subdivision have moved in as renters and have no respect for the elderly. They continue to have noise that sounds like base and drums - not only do we have to listen to this during the day it continues on from the 12:01 AM and on past the 7:00 AM noise ord. WE PLEAD FOR SLEEP AND OUR PEACE AND MOST OF ALL, A STOP TO THIS PROBLEM!
I am saddened that I had new folks move in next door 5 years ago. Now the oldest of three can drive, he plays annoying bass in his car in the driveway. He also has attracted friends that curse, even yelling at the boys parents. I called the police when we were trying to have a cook out and the kids were cussing and playing the music. The next day my mailbox was destroyed. I told the CCPD of this and they said if I had no proof, no case. I wish their driveway did not parallel mine along the fence separating our properties. Looks like the police complaints aren't enough.
having to hear the redneck next door being a jackass any time they want and having the 'law' protect him makes me very angry. My children have to hear the muflerless toys and the loud music until midnight? Chesterfield county needs to step up to the plate on this one.
It's not fair that we have to pay these high taxes in Chester and have to listen to a neighbor that has no respect and plays there base so loud u can hear it over your tv, this is not fair!!
I don't mean to be confrontational, but I believe that the moment we begin to put limitations on healthy clean fun is the moment we will force our youth to look for other activities which have the potential to be devious in nature. I understand that the noise from four basketballs can be quite loud when they are smashing a portable goal outside your house but one must also consider the area in which he or she lives has an impact on the reasonable amount of noise to be encountered. For example, I understand that because I live in a neighborhood with lots of children, I should expect a regular amount of noise from their playing outside. Even though I work nights and would prefer silence during the day, I chose to live here and accepted the "consequences".
Isn't there a 24-hour nuisance noise ordinance in Chesterfield County? We have a family of 5 (4 boys) living next door who are home-schooled by their Mother. It seems that everytime that these boys get bored with homeschool, or perhaps, on recess or break, they decide to come outside and bang basketballs (sometimes 4 at a time) on a portable basketball goal. The boys' ages vary from 6 to 14. This occurs 2, 3, 4, or more times a day, and even at night around 7 pm and as late as 11:00 pm. Since the County Ordinance covers timesframes from 10 pm to 7 am for loud noise from lawn maintence, and 12 midnight to 7 am regarding loud music, why is there no protection for residents for any loud noise that can be heard from inside the home that disturbs that resident's peace at any time? A nuisance noise can be a real problem in high volume neighborhoods, especially when residents run a homeschool in their homes.

What is Ball Moss?
Ball moss (Tillandsia Recurvata) commonly grows in central Texas on live oak and other trees, power lines, and high fences. Ball moss is not really a moss at all; it belongs to the same family as ornamental bromeliads. Ball moss is an epiphyte, meaning it grows on other plants but does not depend on them for nutrition. The "pseudo roots" of ball moss are used to anchor the plant to whatever surface it grows on. However, these false roots do not take up water and nutrients. Instead, ball moss uses its leaves and stems to absorb water and nutrients from the air. This is why many people refer to ball moss as an "air plant."
Where It's Found
Ball moss flourishes in humid spots with low direct light and little air flow. These conditions are common under the canopy of healthy shade trees. Dead or dying branches underneath a tree's healthy canopy that have not been removed provide the perfect environment for ball moss to grow. For this reason, removing dead limbs and branches regularly is an excellent way to avoid ball moss infestations.
Ball Moss Infestations
Once established, ball moss spreads over time and competes with the tree's leaves for sunlight. Heavy ball moss infestations can be extremely unsightly and damaging to trees, especially during periods of stress or in older trees nearing the end of their lifecycles. Ball moss is difficult and tedious to remove by hand. There are non-toxic abatement methods that can get rid of even heavy ball moss infestations and help restore trees to healthy conditions without the use of harmful chemicals.

In Funny People, Adam Sandler's character George Simmons is a successful stand-up comic turned comedy star who has appeared in many shitty but successful movies. Judd Apatow was forced to create some of the character's earlier big screen hits.

Summary: Italy has been made; now we need to make the Italians," goes a familiar Italian saying. Mussolini was the first head of state to include women in this mandate. How the fascist dictatorship defined the place of women in modern Italy and how women experienced the Duce's rule are the subjects of Victoria de Grazia's new work. De Grazia draws on an array of sources - memoirs and novels, the images, songs, and events of mass culture, as well as government statistics ...show moreand archival reports. She offers a broad yet detailed characterization of Italian women's ambiguous and ambivalent experience of a regime that promised modernity, yet denied women emancipation.
Always attentive to the great diversity among women and careful to distinguish fascist rhetoric from the practices that really shaped daily existence, the author moves with ease from the public discourse about femininity to the images of women in propaganda and commercial culture. She analyzes fascist attempts to organize women and the ways in which Mussolini's intentions were received by women as social actors. The first study of women's experience under Italian fascism, this is also a history of the making of contemporary Italian society

Both the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal carried front-page stories today (in the Journal, atop the Marketplace section rather than p. A1) on "e-cigarettes," something most of us never heard of until the past few weeks or not until today. Most e-cigarettes come from China. They have been around for a couple of years but only recently reached the $100 million mark in annual sales. In a sense, e-cigarettes are the latest chapter in the continuing debate over smokeless tobacco, which deliver nicotine from tobacco but eliminate the smoke, which is the source of practically all the harms from cigarette smoking. E-cigarettes are the ultimate smokeless product because they don't actually involve tobacco at all. They typically contain nicotine, water, some flavorings and scents, and propylene glycol (which the Times explains is common in hand sanitizers)—plus a battery and a miniature atomizer so that when the user takes a puff, he or she receives a nicotine-laced flavored mist.
The leading public health antismoking organizations like the American Cancer Society, American Heart Association, and the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids (supported by litigation-induced taxes on smokers) are furious about these unregulated products. They want proof of safety and efficacy, and they want the Food and Drug Administration to force e-cigarettes off the market. That is exactly what the FDA is prepared to do, on the grounds that e-cigarettes are obviously designed to help smokers quit, which is a recognized medical use and therefore renders these products subject to FDA rules about the testing and approval of new drugs.
It is hard to believe that e-cigarettes pose even a tiny percentage of the risks of smoking. Remember, there is no smoke, and the dangers of nicotine itself resemble those of caffeine. The antismoking groups are intent upon perpetuating their reckless gamble that smokers can be induced to quit and that in the meantime, virtually harmless substitutes should be kept off the market unless they go through rigorous FDA testing with all its expense and narrow focus on how products are used.
All of which leads to the totally weird observation that e-cigarettes would be free of all this controversy if only they were more dangerous (by putting real smoke in the lungs, for example) and if they didn't seem to help people quit smoking cigarettes. In today's strange public health regulatory environment, cigarettes are OK and smokeless substitutes are not.
And now, what about FDA regulation of tobacco products? Well, that's another story for another time (really soon).

Gear Review
Rob de Luca
Standard sets the bar high.
Despite the model images, these pants AREN'T BAGGY at all. They fit and look a lot like Levi's 501's but with about an inch lower rise and a touch slimmer straight leg if my eyes work right. True to size. I am 5'10 170lb, 32X32 and they fit perfectly with the cuff rolled up 2in. Like another review said, WeSC's attention to detail is outstanding. Denim is 12.5oz ring-spun cotton, with laser-like chain stitching and double-stitched inseams. If you get the Raw look out for dry bleeding on light clothing and furniture.

Before and After: Remodeling a Galley Kitchen
A galley kitchen in a cozy Tudor-style home gets a bright new outlook, thanks to a thoughtful renovation that added windows, storage, and counter spaceand efficiency.
By Lisa Siglag
Tudor Inspired House
Pictured: Nestled among trees, this 1,900-square-foot house features a timber frame, reminiscent of English Tudors dating back to the 15th century. The shutters and shingles give a storybook cottage feel.
Before: Cramped Kitchen
Airy Kitchen
When asked what he dreamed of for this kitchen, David Bowen replies joyfully, "You're looking at it." Sunlight beams into the once-dark space through the new windows in the breakfast area, offering light and views. Pale green walls and slate floors bring the outdoors in—and the revamped layout makes the kitchen feel twice as big, although no significant square footage was added. And when the sun sets in the evening, the room remains bright due to a trio of new pendant lights, as well as recessed and under-the cabinet fixtures. New cabinets, which extend to the ceiling, provide better storage than the old ones and show off a collection of colorful dinnerware.
Pictured: Once cramped and inefficient, this kitchen today beams with cottage appeal thanks to a thoughtful collaboration between homeowner and architect. New windows capture plenty of natural light while enhancing the home's classic style. The original archway still frames the now-inviting breakfast nook, which also gained a radiator and built-in storage bench.
Before: Kitchen Walls
Plate Rack
Must-Have Feature: Pendant Lights. Set at three different heights, the period-appropriate light fixtures from Holophane suit different tasks in the now-efficient kitchen.
Built-In Seating
Pictured: Built-in seating requires less space than chairs and provides the bonus of much-needed storage beneath. Vintage blue-and-white textiles add a country touch.
Before: Refrigerator
After: Refrigerator
Must-Have Feature: "Built-in Look" Refrigerator
Install cabinetry around your refrigerator to get a built-in look minus the added expense.
Bright Kitchen
The new layout has a streamlined look. Moving the stove to the other side of the long wall creates a continuous run of counter space -- terrific for a family who entertains as well as cooks. "I often use the counter as a buffet," admits Bowen. Ordinary subway tiles become extraordinary when arranged in a herringbone pattern for the backsplash. Appliances: KitchenAid. Sink and Faucets: Blanco Stainless.
Must-Have Features: Deep Drawers and Interesting Surfaces
"[The drawers] are one of my favorite features," says Bowen. The Brookhaven units provide convenient access to oversize pots and pans. CeasarStone counters, made of engineered stone, allow for an integrated drainboard, keeping counters free of unnecessary clutter and making them simple to maintain.

biographical name(born June 13, 1935, Gabrovo, Bulg.) Bulgarian-born U.S. environmental artist. After attending Sofia's Fine Arts Academy, he moved to Paris in 1958, where he began exhibiting his works with the nouveaux réalistes. His earliest sculptures were composed of cans and bottles, many of which were wrapped in paper, plastic, or fabric. He eventually expanded his projects to include buildings and landscapes. In 1964 he moved to New York City. Christo is noted for such monumental outdoor projects as Valley Curtain (1972) in Rifle Gap, Colo., and Running Fence (1976) in Marin and Sonoma counties, Calif. In 1995 he wrapped the Berlin Reichstag in metallic silver fabric. The Gates, Central Park, New York City, 1979–2005 (2005) featured 7,503 steel gates stretched across 23 miles (37 km) of walkway in Central Park. The gates stood 16 feet (5 metres) high and were decorated with saffron-coloured cloth panels. Though his displays, which are temporary and involve hundreds of workers, are controversial among environmentalists, they have been critically well received. Since 1961 most have been collaborative efforts with his wife, Jeanne-Claude (b. 1935).

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is China!
Facts about China
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Tortoiseshell

China's Info...
I am up to date with shots.
This kitten is located in Henrico County, Short Pump. DOB 7/8/12 My name is China, I am a pastel female tortie. I am very adventurous and love to explore new places. I love to cuddle with you. I love to pounce on anything that moves. I am looking for a wonderful family to adopt me. If interested in China, contact firstname.lastname@example.com

Why Adoption is a Great Option
China, a Richmond Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Richmond, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Richmond.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Richmond already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Richmond breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Richmond paves the way for another one to be saved.

The Eagles have given up 27 sacks (fourth worst) and 71 quarterback hits (league high), all which feel like they came in their Monday Night loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Saints pummeled quarterback Michael Vick endlessly, sacking him eight times and pressuring him many others. Most of the sacks came with overload pressures or the illusion of them, toying with the offensive line's assignments as the Saints defenders feasted on their prey. This could be problematic moving forward, especially this weekend when they face the Dallas Cowboys and Rob Ryan's own overload packages.
While watching the game this past Monday night, I noticed that the Saints were blitzing on the Eagles' empty sets, which feature no one in the backfield except Vick. It was a good move by Saints defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, who finally came alive and dialed up some of the best blitzes we've seen this season. On one particular play in the red zone, Spagnuolo called for an overload on the left side of the Eagles' offensive line.
With the two interior linemen pinched inside and two defensive ends lined up wide, the Saints showed blitz with two additional linebackers in each B-gap.
To the left side, where the pressure would ultimately come from, towering left tackle King Dunlap was faced with two pass rushers — the aforementioned defensive end and a linebacker in the B-gap — and he could obviously only block one. Because of the way pass protection is taught, Dunlap was going to be sliding inside, leaving the defensive end unblocked and Vick responsible for accounting for him, which is a problem.
Vick doesn't recognize pressure well at all, and in this case he was expected to identify the rusher on the left and find a "hot-read" to the right. A hot read is when the closest receiver trims his route and immediately spots up open for a quick throw from the quarterback. That didn't happen, and Vick was taken down by the left end and the Saints' four-man rush.
This is something that the Eagles must fix with urgency because the Dallas Cowboys, their opponent tomorrow, showed a similar pressure only a day earlier against the Atlanta Falcons. Dallas lined up in an "Okie" front, which features both guards uncovered in the 3-4 against the Falcons, who appeared to have a six man protection scheme before the snap against the Cowboys' four-man rush. This created a three-on-two matchup to the left side of the offensive line, where the left guard was uncovered and could help the left tackle block the defensive end or simply block the end so the tackle can get the outside linebacker. And in case help was needed, the Falcons had running back Jacquizz Rodgers in the backfield.
When the ball was snapped Rodgers left the backfield to run a route, and the matchup became three-on-two for the Cowboys. The defensive end occupied the left tackle by simply engaging and two-gapping while the nose tackle, who was initially over the center, stunted into the B-gap to grab the attention of the left guard. So who was blocking the outside linebacker, who just happens to be sack master DeMarcus Ware?
No one. And down went Matt Ryan.
The New Orleans Saints and Dallas Cowboys both got to the opposing quarterbacks by creatively utilizing a four-man rush that amounted to an overload but was set up differently. The Saints used linebackers to "sugar" the interior gaps while the Cowboys stunted their nose tackle into the near gap to win the numbers battle despite not being in a favorable position to do so before the snap.
Dallas' pressure schemes will be something to watch tomorrow, as they'll surely test the Eagles' blocking to see if it's improved. If not, it will be a long game for Vick once again.

You guys give such great advice!
Here's my problem: We are on 5 sloping acres in a log cabin. I have a small courtyard of pavers and a small garden that is enclosed with a 2-tier split rail fence. My new shepard can jump this fence. I have been trying to find an inspiration for making this fence taller, staying with the rustic look that we have. We have considered installing new taller posts with another tier of rails. But, since funds are limited, I thought maybe someone might have an idea for something decorative that could just be added to the top rail. I need at least another foot or so. I have a view of the mountains from my kitchen window and don't want anything solid that would obstruct this view. Would love to just pick it all up and set it on rock pillars!! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Have you considered other options besides making a taller wooden fence? If your shepherd isn't making a clear leap over the fence, what about a single wire of electric fence placed a couple inches above the top rail? Or, wherever the pup will likely encounter it when he jumps the fence? You can set the zap-level (for lack of a better technical term) to something less than "will stop a raging bull" but higher than "wouldn't bother a hairless bunny." Alternatively, we have fenced our cat into our yard by adding a couple feet of bird netting above the wooden fence. She can scale the wood fence & walk along the top, but she can't climb the bird netting because it's too flexible. She can lean against it (I've seen her using it as a hammock) but can't push through it because that stuff is surprisingly strong. It's virtually invisible because it's black and we have it held up with black garden stakes (buy the green plastic ones & cover with Gorilla tape, or spray paint might work). Shepherds are pretty sensitive dogs, I bet if he ran into a screen door he'd think twice about running through the door again. You need him to have the same reaction to the fence. This website is the one we followed for the cat fence: Alternatively, if you think your shepherd would plow through the bird netting there is a black plastic chicken wire at Home Depot that runs just under $1/foot. It's 3' wide. It would be sturdier than the netting and it just about disappears from view. We're starting to use it to replace the netting because heavy ice/snow can collect on the netting & weigh it down pretty badly. This stuff seems sturdier, but if we didn't have the ice/snow loading problems we would have kept using the netting. Maybe someone else will have a more decorative option for you. If you replace the fence & want something virtually invisible, consider the aluminum fences. They are pricey but really preserve the views. |
If this were a dog you've had for awhile, I would also recommend the hot wire, except I'd set it up in the area just before his 'take off' spot. IOW's he couldn't get close enough to the fence to jump it. Since he's new to your family I feel he just hasn't bonded with you yet. Every shepherd I've known sticks close to their owner and doesn't tend to wander, so I think you just need to do some positive training when he's in the back area. Keep him on a long line and give him treats and lots of praise while he's with you and anytime he returns on command. Never leave him alone in the back yard. I adopted an older shepherd once and it took a few months before she was completely bonded to me. I suggest going on walks, joining an obedience class, and maybe follow up with an agility class. The more time you spend with him the faster the bond will occur. |
I hear you both. Since my dogs had a run-in with coyotes a couple of weeks ago (and my little terrier was saved by the shepard) I have been taking them out on a leash. You are right about the bonding, annz, I adopted Casey about a year ago. She had never been in a house and she was fearful of everything. She has come a long way - but the rabbits and squirrels call to her - she has so much energy! I need to be able to open the door and let them into this fenced yard so I don't have to go out and watch Casey - she will not jump the fence when I am there. I need to make it high enough to keep her and keep the coyotes out! |

The Bad News Bearers: The Most Difficult Assignment in Law Enforcement (Released May 2009)
The manual states in part:
a. The Next of Kin will be notified promptly in an appropriate dignified and understanding manner by a uniformed service representative. He/she will wear the Class "A" uniform and present a soldierly appearance when making notification.
b. The Army's policy is to make personal notification to the primary next of kin and secondary next of kin of the deceased soldier within four hours after learning of the death. Notification should take place from 0600 to 2200 (6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.) local time unless otherwise directed. The time limits established for notification may have to be adjusted due to distance involved or other conditions, such as adverse weather. All attempts will be made to notify the primary next of kin first, if efforts to contact the primary next of kin are unsuccessful, then the policy recommends that the CNO contact the Casualty Area Command (CAC), immediately for guidance. (United States Army Signal Center, Fort Gordon, Ga, 2002)
The military takes extraordinary efforts to train their Casualty Notification Officers in the proper procedures for notifying families of deceased servicemen and women. USA Today reported on a new training film showing the difficulties that await the soldiers who had to make that fateful knock on the door to inform families of a military death. The film intersperses professional actors with documentary-like interviews of soldiers who have performed casualty notification. It depicts events showing potential reactions from survivors in an effort to expose the CNO's to situations that may arise. In one scene an actress portraying the wife of a fictional soldier sits on a living room couch clutching a pillow and shaking her head violently at the news of his death. The film then cuts to an interview where Army Chaplain Ed Grimenstein warns of what soldiers might expect during notification. Even with these efforts to get the job done right, numerous documented incidents demonstrate how easily the messenger can make errors of judgment in dealing with families during a death notification.
