Calydonian Boar
this wiki
The Calydonian Boar is one of the monsters of Greek mythology that had to be overcome by heroes of the Olympian age. Sent by Artemis to ravage the region of Calydon in Aetolia because its king failed to honor her in his rites to the gods, it was killed in the Calydonian Hunt, in which many male heroes took part, but also a powerful woman, Atalanta, who won its hide by first wounding it with an arrow. This outraged some of the men, with tragic results. Strabo was under the impression that the Calydonian Boar was an offspring of the Crommyonian Sow vanquished by Theseus.[1]
Importance in Greek mythology and art
The Calydonian Boar is one of the chthonic monsters in Greek mythology, each set in a specific locale. Sent by Artemis to ravage the region of Calydon in Aetolia, it met its end in the Calydonian Hunt, in which all the heroes of the new age pressed to take part, with the exception of Heracles, who vanquished his own goddess-sent Erymanthian Boar separately. Since the mythic event drew together numerous heroes[2]—among whom were many who were venerated as progenitors of their local ruling houses among tribal groups of Hellenes into Classical times—the Calydonian Boar hunt offered a natural subject in classical art, for it was redolent with the web of myth that gathered around its protagonists on other occasions, around their half-divine descent and their offspring. Like the quest for the Golden Fleece (Argonautica) or the Trojan War that took place the following generation, the Calydonian Hunt is one of the nodes in which much Greek myth comes together.
Both Homer[3] and Hesiod and their listeners were aware of the details of this myth, but no surviving complete account exists: some papyrus fragments found at Oxyrhynchus are all that survive of Stesichorus' telling;[4] the myth repertory called Bibliotheca ("The Library") contains the gist of the tale, and before that was compiled the Roman poet Ovid told the story in some colorful detail in his Metamorphoses.[5]
King Oeneus ("wine man") of Calydon, an ancient city of west-central Greece north of the Gulf of Patras, held annual harvest sacrifices to the gods on the sacred hill. One year the king forgot to include Great "Artemis of the Golden Throne" in his offerings[6] Insulted, Artemis, the "Lady of the Bow", loosed the biggest, most ferocious boar imaginable on the countryside of Calydon. It rampaged throughout the countryside, destroying vineyards and crops, forcing people to take refuge inside the city walls (Ovid), where they began to starve.
Oeneus sent messengers out to look for the best hunters in Greece, offering them the boar's pelt and tusks as a prize.[7]
Among those who responded were some of the Argonauts, Oeneus' own son Meleager, and, remarkably for the Hunt's eventual success, one woman— the huntress Atalanta, the "indomitable", who had been suckled by Artemis as a she-bear and raised as a huntress, a proxy for Artemis herself (Kerenyi; Ruck and Staples). Artemis appears to have been divided in her motives, for it was also said that she had sent the young huntress because she knew her presence would be a source of division, and so it was: many of the men, led by Kepheus and Ankaios, refused to hunt alongside a woman. It was the smitten Meleager who convinced them.[8] Nonetheless it was Atalanta who first succeeded in wounding the boar with an arrow, although Meleager finished it off, and offered the prize to Atalanta, who had drawn first blood. But the sons of Thestios, who considered it disgraceful that a woman should get the trophy where men were involved, took the skin from her, saying that it was properly theirs by right of birth, if Meleagros chose not to accept it. Outraged by this,[9] Meleagros slew the sons of Thestios and again gave the skin to Atalanta (Bibliotheca). Meleager's mother, sister of Meleager's slain uncles, took the fatal brand from the chest where she had kept it and threw it once more on the fire; as it was consumed, Meleager died on the spot, as the Fates had foretold. Thus Artemis achieved her revenge against King Oeneus.
During the hunt, Peleus accidentally killed his host Eurytion. In the course of the hunt and its aftermath, many of the hunters turned upon one another, contesting the spoils, and so the goddess continued to be revenged (Kerenyi, 114): "But the goddess again made a great stir of anger and crying battle, over the head of the boar and the bristling boar's hide, between Kouretes and the high-hearted Aitolians" (Homer, Iliad, ix.543).
The boar's hide that was preserved in the Temple of Athena Alae at Tegea in Laconia was reputedly that of the Calydonian Boar, "rotted by age and by now altogether without bristles" by the time Pausanias saw it in the second century CE. He noted that the tusks had been taken to Rome as booty from the defeated allies of Mark Anthony by Augustus; "one of the tusks of the Calydonian boar has been broken", Pausanias reports, "but the remaining one, having a circumference of about half a fathom,[10] was dedicated in the Emperor's gardens, in a shrine of Dionysos".[11] The Calydonian Hunt was the theme of the temple's main pediment.
The heroes who participated assembled from all over Hellas, according to Homer;[12]Bacchylides called them "the best of the Hellenes".[13]
The table lists:
- Those seen by Pausanias on the Temple of Athena Alea at Tegea.
- Those listed by Latin mythographer Gaius Julius Hyginus (Fabulae 30); they include Deucalion, whose connection is unlikely.
- Those noted in Ovid's list from the 8th Book of his Metamorphoses.

Ancaeus | √ | √ | √ | "from Parrhasia" (Ovid), son of Lycurgus, killed by the boar. In Ovid's account Ancaeus wielded a two-headed axe but he was undone by his boastfulness which gave the boar time enough to charge him: Ancaeus was speared on the boar's tusks at the upper part of the groin and guts burst forth from the gashes it had made. |
Asclepius | √ | son of Apollo | ||
Atalanta | √ | √ | √ | called Tegeaea ("of Tegea") by Ovid, the daughter of Skoineus, from Arcadia |

- ↑ Iliad ix.933; the poet's concern is with Meleager's role in the battle begun over the boar's carcass, which embroiled Meleager and the Curetes, who were attacking his city of Calydon, rather than with the hunt itself, which he swiftly summarizes in a handful of lines.
- ↑ The pelt remained a trophy at the temple of Tegea, which was enriched with prominent reliefs of the Calydonian Hunt, in which the Boar took the central place in the composition. The temple, however, was dedicated not to Artemis, but to that other virgin goddess, Athena Alea

In the second half of this season, the energy drink company has paid for Daniel Ricciardo to make his grand prix debut with the Spanish team HRT.
But the manager of the program, Marko, revealed recently that he is not sure if the deal will be extended for 2012.
It is believed Australian Ricciardo will be moved to Toro Rosso for 2012, probably to replace Sebastien Buemi.
The next Red Bull-backed hopeful is Jean-Eric Vergne, who is now tipped to step into the role occupied by Ricciardo this year.
But, given HRT's signing of Pedro de la Rosa and the fact the other seat will almost certainly go to the highest bidder, Frenchman Vergne is believed unlikely to succeed Ricciardo at the struggling Spanish team.
"Red Bull could park one of their juniors Ricciardo and Vergne at Lotus (Caterham)," said Auto Motor und Sport.
Officially, Caterham's 2012 lineup is locked out, with Jarno Trulli and Heikki Kovalainen under contract.
But less than two weeks ago, veteran Trulli's manager Lucio Cavuto was moved to deny reports the Italian's 2012 seat was in danger due to "Red Bull dollars".
"One thing is clear," said Auto Motor und Sport. "Red Bull will give the Frenchman (Vergne) a cockpit next year."
Lotus/Caterham will use Red Bull's gearbox, hydraulics and KERS systems in 2012.

New Delhi: May 18, 2014
From watching the Indian Premier League (IPL) as a fan till last year to playing in it this season, life has come full circle for rookie Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) off-spinner Shivam Sharma who believes the tournament provides a platform for bagging India berth.
"IPL is a platform from where you can go on and represent India. It was my dream to play in this T20 league. I had gone to see an IPL game with my brother last year and told him about my wish," Shivam told PTI in an interview.
Shivam, 20, got Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) batsman Yuvraj caught at slip to bag his debut wicket in a T20 match and then sent Albie Morkel packing to end with figures of 2 for 26. The youngster said it was all part of a plan.
"We planned to attack Yuvraj. He is the kind of player who can demolish any bowling attack if he gets going. So it's important to get him early. And that's the reason I did keep a slip for him as advised by our think-tank," said the former India Under-19 skipper.
The off-spinner does not have a 'doosra' in his armoury but relies on the carrom ball to surprise batsmen.
"I don't have the doosra, but I do have the carom ball. I bowl the carrom ball a lot in the nets, but (Glenn) Maxwell has decoded my carom ball delivery with his reverse sweeps. So, one learns a lot while bowling to him in the nets, you grow as a T20 bowler," said Shivam.
Overawed by the presence of stars in the Punjab dressing room, Shivam considers himself lucky to be just sitting next to a Virender Sehwag or Glenn Maxwell. He admits having learnt a lot from the senior players.
"It's sometimes unreal to share a dressing room with such big players. From Sehwag I have learnt to keep my cool in any situation. Maxy [Maxwell] is a fun guy, he keeps the dressing room in good spirits. We can't bat like him, but we do learn to play it cool like him," said Shivam.
Getting just two games this season, Shivam has made his presence felt and attributed his self-belief and confidence for his little success.
"It's tough to make a mark in a team full of stars. But it also becomes easy if you have self belief. The main thing that separates the top players from the ones who aspire to become big, is confidence," said Shivam.
A self-confessed Harbhajan Singh fan, Shivam admitted that he does not have the senior off-spinner's doosra. Shivam said he is also a Ravichandran Ashwin fan.
"Harbhajan Singh is my all-time favourite though I cannot bowl the doosra like him. I also like Ashwin a lot," said Shivam.
Getting a chance to bat at No 9, Shivam is known as an all-rounder at the junior level with a few centuries under his belt for Delhi Under-19.
"I have now developed as a bowling all-rounder. But I started off as a batsman and my bowling developed after 17 years of age and I represented Delhi Under-19 as an off-spinner," said Shivam.
After being ignored in the Delhi Under-25 team, Shivam was spotted by Kings XI coach Sanjay Bangar for an IPL trial.
The Delhi-lad still hopes to play for his state in Ranji cricket.
"Let's hope that Delhi picks me this Ranji season. I believe that they will, now that I have played IPL. You never know about the future, but I certainly would like to play for Delhi," said Shivam.

Bombers nab former Vulture
Josh Vearing is the latest addition to the Redland Bombers.
Redland hasbeen incredibly busy in the lead-up to the 2013 NEAFL season, picking up another big-name recruit in former Mt Gravatt captain Josh Vearing.
Vearing played 190 games for the Vultures since 2000, leading the side for the last three years.
The 2007 Syd Guildford Trophy winner was a dual premiership player with Mt Gravatt and a three-time Queensland representative.
Bombers development manager, Phil Carse said, the veteran would be an invaluable addition to their young side.
"Josh is a fantastic edition with his level of experience and he has worked hard to maintain his fitness base over the summer despite not being in formal training," Carse said.
"Josh will add a lot of leadership to the group and being a premiership player knows what it takes to achieve success at our level."
The recruitment of Vearing comes on the back of the club signing former St Kilda player, Steve Gaertner, last month.
Redland will unveil all of their new players at the Redland Family day on March 15.

Scouring, digging and searching the aisles, racks and shelves becomes routine for designer-conscious thrift shoppers. The possibility of finding two interlocked C's, a bag bearing nothing but G's or anything with the ol' LV logo staring back at them is what keeps them hunting.
But a new boutique opens Friday that will change all that. Deja Blue is the effort of Goodwill of Southern Nevada. It offers the same gently used clothing at the same budget-friendly prices, but the items here are all brand names.
Goodwill has had success with the same system in other cities, but the ones that have used the name Deja Blue include Denver and the Orange County area. For the local Goodwill, it seemed a natural fit.
"Everyone is looking for brand names," says Kathy Topp, Goodwill of Southern Nevada spokeswoman. "This is a town where image is important. It's a way to have brand names and have extra cash in your pocket, too."
It's not just the merchandise that's different here. Step foot in the boutique and it's clear this isn't your ordinary thrift store. Hardwood floors and vibrant blue walls greet customers. Items are displayed in "story" format, which means each rack has been carefully thought out with shoes and handbags that coordinate with the clothing placed on shelves above them.
Despite the large 2,800 square feet of space, it's a true boutique ambience and tone.
Some of the pieces on the store's racks and shelves include a Diane von Furstenberg summer printed dress for $99.99, Prada buckle-embellished heels for $134.99, Tory Burch open-toe strap sandal heels for $64.99 and a Salvatore Ferragamo white patent leather clutch for $166.99.
Prices are typically set at 33 percent of the piece's original price. That said, there's also a Chanel quilted tote for $19.99, and a Louis Vuitton messenger bag for $39.99. That's because Deja Blue doesn't just carry authentic pieces. Knockoffs are also sold here.
To determine the authenticity of an item, the store carefully evaluates things such as logos, lining and leather but for the tricky pieces that are harder to distinguish, they refer to shopgoodwill.com. This is the ecommerce site where upscale pieces are sold from Goodwill stores around the country. Experts here are trained to find key identifiers that separate the real from the fake.
And, the term "brand name" doesn't just include luxury designers. Everything from True Religion to Bebe to NFL (a Chicago Bears Brian Urlacher jersey sells for $14.99) are sold here.
For shoppers who actually look forward to the treasure hunt that is thrift shopping, not to worry. Goodwill stores throughout the valley will continue to feature brand name items because it's "the thrill of the find" that makes it so rewarding, as Topp says.
A few contributing factors have upped the popularity of thrift shopping. "No. 1 is the economy," Topp says. "No. 2 is the emphasis on being green. Instead of throwing things away, we can give them new life."
Of course, a rapper rhyming about how great the concept is in a hit song called "Thrift Shop" doesn't hurt matters, either. "We love Macklemore," says Jessica Milazzo, manager of community affairs for Goodwill of Southern Nevada. "We have the edited version of that song playing in some of our stores. It makes it fun."
Deja Blue, at 10300 W. Charleston Blvd., opens Friday at 9 a.m.

The ultimate appetizer is the cheese plate. It's tasty, easy to assemble, and approachable. On my own plates, I'm constantly mixing up the cheeses and experimenting with different accompaniments. I pair honey and almonds with MouCo ColoRouge, fig jam with Old Amsterdam Gouda, and most recently, Denver-based Primo's blackberry-serrano preserves with Italian Tallego.
Although I'm already a fan of Primo's other offerings--mainly the loganberry-ancho and the boysenberry-habanero jams--I'm especially swayed by the blackberry mixture. Primo's newest release has sweet-tart taste and lingering heat that makes it a sure hit on the cheese plate, as well as a dynamic marinade for pork or chicken.

Necrosis is the disorganized breakdown of flesh in some part of the body of a multicellular organism. In an average adult human, between 50 billion and 70 billion cells die off and are replaced every day, but necrosis refers to cell death that is unprogrammed and results from atypical body conditions, such as infections, cancer, serious injury, the presence of venom, severe inflammation, and a variety of diseases. One of the most severe forms is caused by the brown recluse spider, whose bite can cause necrotic lesions up to 10 inches (25 centimeters) in diameter.
When normal cells die off in a process called apoptosis, they send special signals to the janitor cells of the body, phagocytes, which clean them up in an orderly manner. During necrosis, the breakdown is disorganized and chaotic, and phagocytes do not consume the cells in question, nor most of the internal material released from them as they perish.
Every cell has special organelles called lysosomes, which are responsible for digesting food through the controlled release of enzymes. Lysosomes contain enzymes capable of digesting all sorts of macromolecules — for example, the enzyme lipase digests lipids, the enzyme carbohydrase digests carbohydrates, and so forth. These digestive enzymes are kept isolated from the rest of the cell by a special protective membrane surrounding each lysosome. During necrosis, these membranes dissolve, releasing the digestive enzymes indiscriminately, which go on to dissolve the membranes of further lysosomes, resulting in a chain reaction of cell death.
This cellular breakdown is a horrible affliction to undergo, and it can lead to death or permanent injury if not addressed quickly. Medical professionals have come up with a variety of ways to halt the process in people before it leads to irreversible damage, including freezing, removal of the affected tissue, or exposure to a high-oxygen environment for extended periods of time. In the past, it could frequently lead to full amputations, but today, the damage can be contained as long as the affected person is treated properly.
Necrosis does not spontaneously occur in healthy people, and the number of insects capable of causing it are relatively rare. If a person gets a spider bite, chances are that he or she has absolutely nothing to worry about.

My daughter had brain surgery and they took fat from her stomach to repair the hole made for the surgery.

Serendipity on Sunnyslope
SUNNYSLOPE — When Michael Cassidy and his wife moved back here last year, they bought property in Sunnyslope only a block away from where they'd lived six years before.
"We missed living on this very spot," said the retired engineer, who moved to Lynden in 2006. "We missed the sunshine, the four seasons and the mountain views we'd enjoyed for years. We never thought we could find a place again on Sunnyslope, but here we are."
He pointed across the street to his new home, taking shape as one of the first move-in-ready houses in a new 27-acre Sunnyslope subdivision. "It's right where we dreamed it'd be," he said.
The 66-lot Madison Acres, one of Sunnyslope's largest developments in a decade, has been touted by area housing experts as a unique experiment in helping rejuvenate a construction industry hit hard by years of economic slowdown. The project brings together five local home builders working together to take advantage of a housing market that's finally showing signs of life.
"This is a unique situation, a kind of loose partnership, of five builders with the same sense of quality and proven sales records," said Ted McDaniel, owner of Mountain Vista Homes and the developer and lead contractor on the project.
McDaniel said he hand-picked the companies to "share the opportunity" — including some of the risks and some of the costs — by working together instead of aggressively competing for vacant properties and qualified customers.
What: A new housing development in Sunnyslope in North Wenatchee.
Where: On new subdivision streets located south of the corner of Ridgeview Boulevard and Dianna Way
Who: Developed by Ted McDaniel, owner of Mountain Vista Homes, in conjunction with general contractors Bollinger Construction, Shane Covey Custom Construction & Cabinets, Huber Homes and Roberts Construction.
What's available? Most of the 24 lots in the first phase (10 acres) have sold, but 42 lots on an adjacent 17 acres are just beginning development. Lot sizes range from 12,500 to 15,900 square feet.
Costs: Building lots begin at $85,900. Home prices range between $350,000 and $425,00, with most between $369,000 to $390,00.
Info: Call broker Laurie Carlson at 393-9010 or visit madisonacres.com.
— Mike Irwin, World staff
"This isn't business as usual," smiled McDaniel. "Instead of tough competition, instead of being at each other's throats, we're cooperating to make this one of the best subdivisions around. It's a mutual effort, and it looks like it's paying off."
The cooperative effort comes none too soon for area developers and builders who for more than four years have suffered through uncertain times — a burst housing bubble, falling home prices, tightening credit and rising unemployment across the industry.
Madison Acres' first phase — 10 acres, 24 building lots — kicked off in May. Since then, nearly all of the lots have sold, eight homes are nearing completion and four more are underway. The Cassidys, two of Madison Acres' first buyers, could move into their new home as early as the first week of March.
Phase two — 17 acres, 42 lots — has reached final planning stages. In coming weeks, cul-de-sacs will be reworked into street extensions and building lots staked out. Laurie Carlson, a real estate broker for Coldwell Banker in Wenatchee, is already holding weekly open houses in a partially-finished model home.
"There's definitely a synergy among these builders that I don't recall having seen before," said Carlson. "And I think it shows in the (development's) street layouts, in the homes' comfortable designs and even in the buying and building process for the customer. It's a much smoother process."
East Wenatchee builder Shane Covey agreed. As one of four other contractors working on Madison Acres' homes, he said he's seen a blend of building skills from former competitors that helps speed projects and increases quality.
He noted a nearby 4-foot retaining wall that separates higher lots from backyards on a lower level. "We all pitched in and got it done in record time," he said. "I think we were all surprised and amazed."
Covey is building a home for his mother, Sandy Covey. She said her home's design exemplifies Madison Acres' "flexibility and serendipity" in avoiding the usual cookie-cutter look of most subdivisions. Huge windows, a flat shed roof line, an artist's workspace and a pet-washing station are just some of the custom touches incorporated into her home's design.
McDaniel, who bought the Sunnyslope property in 2006, said he wasn't sure then what would happen to the land after the economy began slowing and the housing market shriveled just two years later.
"In 2009, 2010 and 2011, we could build beautiful homes, sure," he said. "But we couldn't give them away."
Then in early 2012, McDaniel said he began to sense a shift in the local economy and housing market. "Things seemed to be picking up slowly but surely. I looked at Madison Acres, took a deep breath and said, OK, let's give it a shot."
The groundbreaking took place May, McDaniel said, and he soon convinced a handful of builders that joining together could bring much-needed production and profits. By summer's end the development was humming with activity. It's maintained that pace right through winter.
"It's been heartening to see excavators and carpenters back at work, doing what they do best," he said.

02-19-2011, 10:05 AMPrimaries are basically a joke anyway.
If the political system is going to have primaries, which are not binding to the convention process, then they should all be on the same day or better yet, one week.
That little podunk states like NH and Iowa can hold such a large political sway flies in the face of the concept of an elected republican form of government as guaranteed by the Constitution.

Safely enclosing horses requires horse fencing designed especially for them. Take advantage of the visibility of vinyl and security of non-climb by installing both styles together while spending about half the cost of vinyl. Our adapter is the worlds safest T-post cover, allowing you to mount a vinyl sight line to T-posts, adding visibility and strength while protecting your horse from lethal T-post impalement! Innovative fencing products from Equi-Tee Mfg., the builders of the Shake'n Fork, a premium quality manure fork with standard or fine-tine versions. Manual or auto-sifting models.
About an Equi-Tee Fence There are several other components that are necessary to build this fence, including PVC top rails, t-posts and non-climb wire. These components will need to be acquired by you locally. Several companies will supply you with a nearby dealer address online or you can visit our suppliers page to find one.
Do you have
equestrian fence that you can count on?
Are you satisfied with your horse fence? Do you feel that it is a safe, nice-looking,
protected enclosure for your horses? Do you have a pasture fence that keeps your horses secure 100% of the time?
A recent survey by the publishers of The
magazine indicates that most horse owners are looking to
either install or upgrade their existing horse fence. Despite advances in
farm fencing materials, budget or installation constraints still play a large
role in determining what type of farm fence we install because the cost of
materials to build a perimeter pasture fence, even on modest acreages, can run
thousands of dollars. If a horse fence must be professionally installed, labor
costs can exceed materials costs! While it is safe to say that good fencing
costs more, our Equi-Tee fence, the best horse fence, is not the most expensive.
confuse security with safety.
most wire fences will keep your horse secure, will they be safely secure? Twenty
five percent of surveyed horse owners did have a horse fence related
injury!!! Is it worth installing
a wire fence that is "safe until it isn't", or are you willing
build a superior wire fence right from the start? Horses have very strong flight instincts and
will flee without thinking of
the consequences. Dependable, effective equine fencing must be more than just
physically strong, it must also visually convey the image of a barrier to the horse long before contact is made.
The horse MUST have time to turn or stop! Horses can be surprisingly
destructive when it comes to containment and can push, kick or chew
their way out of just about anything. An effective horse fence must be durable,
with a minimum of upkeep, and should withstand all but the most
determined horseplay. Another important point to remember is that
"Its not just what you keep in, but what you keep out!"
other style
of wire fence will safely enclose your horse and keep dogs, predators and the
neighborhood children out of your horse pasture.
Designing the
pre-eminent horse fence.
The ideal equine pasture fence must be highly visible, have physical strength and provide a
strong mental deterrent. It should require minimal upkeep and be owner-installed at a modest cost.
Our Equi-Tee adapter has produced a horse fence that combines the best features
of several styles of fencing, while eliminating their
individual drawbacks. We
begin with the
proven design of non-climb wire fence and improve it by adding a plastic
fence vinyl top
rail. The addition of this sight line adds much
needed visibility.
addition, covering the exposed T posts tops adds a further measure of safety. We arrived at this
marriage by installing many fence options at our Firefly
Andalusian Ranch test facility. Since many styles of fence claim to be the "Most
Durable," "Most
Visible," "Most Economical," or "Safest,"
we tested them and found that some of them were totally inappropriate for
horses. We also found that the prettiest, most expensive horse fences were
also the most vulnerable to damage. We explain
some of our findings on Woven wire

Electrified Rope,
Tensile wire , Pipe Panels and Poly-vinyl

I'm sorry to read of his death.
I'm more than a little perplexed as to why he was going about duties such as he was, unarmed.
This is a discussion on Officer Killed In The Line Of Duty Last Night within the Carry & Defensive Scenarios forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; A Knox County School Security Officer was shot and killed last night while assigned to Halls High School to protect against Halloween Night vandalism. Officer ...
A Knox County School Security Officer was shot and killed last night while assigned to Halls High School to protect against Halloween Night vandalism.
Officer Russell Kocur was checking out a suspicious vehicle at the school (turned out stolen from a homicide victim on Galax VA) when he was shot in the back by the dirtbag, a homeless P.O.S. wanted in connection with the VA homicide.
The officer was unarmed and not wearing his ballistic vest.
His title was Knox County School Security Officer, but he is a member of the Law Enforcement community and will be missed.
A salute to you Officer Kocur, and our thoughts and prayers go out to your family.
When you are truly transformed into a warrior and have truly invested yourself into warriorhood, you want to be there. You want to be able to make a difference.

I'm sorry to read of his death.
I'm more than a little perplexed as to why he was going about duties such as he was, unarmed.
Prayers for comfort for his family and friends have gone up.
Rest in peace, Officer.
Unarmed and without ballistic vest ? He must have been pretty comfortable with his surroundings.
If I had to do duty on Halloween night at a high school, I would be carrying a big gun and some armor.
In any event, I am sorry to hear about his death.
USAF: Loving Our Obscene Amenities Since 1947
Accordong to the statement by the school board, he had not yet completed the second phase of his training, and thus could not yet carry a weapon.
Not only that, he usually wore a vest, but for some reason, decided not to wear it last night.
School Security used to be a division of the Sheriff's Office, and the officers received the same training as our reserve officers, including firearms training, and were sworn Sheriff's Deputies who were assigned to the School Board. Now, apparently they are not under the Sheriff's Office, only the school board.
I knew of one officer who was assigned to a different high school, and the principal demanded the officer work unarmed or be fired. Working under the school board, he was answerable to the principal. One day he had to arrest two students who were fighting, one pulled a knife during the fight, and then fought the officer during the arrest, to the point the officer pepper sprayed the student. When he took his handcuffs out, and the principal demanded he not handcuff the student in school. He tried telling the Sheriff's Transportation Officer in the wagon not to handcuff. The Sheriff's Officer asked the principal if he wanted to ride in the van with the student, and then handcuffed the student.
My point being, the school board, school principals, and teachers, are still under the dream that none of these "children" could or would even consider doing harm to another and expect everyone, even those charged with protecting the students and teachers, to treat them with kid gloves so as not to damage their "fragile little minds" (using a phrase from Southpark's Eric Cartman).
I'm off my soapbox for a while.
When you are truly transformed into a warrior and have truly invested yourself into warriorhood, you want to be there. You want to be able to make a difference.
From the essay "TRIBES" by Bill Whittle
That principal needs his teeth kicked in by a student.
And I wish your story had the officer spitting on the principal and resigning in disgust.
Sorry to hear about that. Over hear in Houston, we just had a boy in blue get shot a killed by an immigrant that was pulled over for speeding or something. Either way, the officer didn't do a thorough check on ther person's body and failed to detect the handgun in his waist. Then, from the back seat, the perp managed to get a couple of shots to the officers a head and killed him.
As far as school officers, I am not sure whether our Alief ISD officers are with the Harris County or with Alief ISD. But I can assure you that they pack some heat. Unlike some principles, Alief has no tolerance. But I think thats a Texas thing. If you act like an adult, you're gonna get treated and punished like one.
Sorry to hear about the mans death.
Maybe those fools on the school board will wake up now and pay attention. Like many school boards, administrators and pricipals,they are no more than highly educated idiots.

Fat-wash did the trick for Patio on Goldfinch's Sheer Determination
The concoction has less to do with pigskins or gridirons than with making a cocktail using coconut water.
Joseph O'Brien 4 p.m., March 29
Regarding your May 9 Reader cover photo ("We Spend Every Dime on Our Costumes") — it's good to see real women on the face of the Reader. Best cover ever. This is great!
Name Withheld
via voicemail
After reading "We Spend Every Dime on Our Costumes" (May 9 cover story), I flashed on a woman at a library who likes to play dress-up in a Broadway musical type of way — definitely not burlesque, but like Carmen Miranda. If you know about fashion, how about Zandra Rhodes at 70 years+? She has many famous clients as well.
Does anyone remember Carnaby Street in London, England in the '60s? Later it was a fashion mecca. Now the fashions seem like not very much thought went into them (to me, anyway). Maybe the word is less classy, more suggestive.

In Milano's v. Kansas Department of Labor, the Kansas Supreme Court determined that exotic dancers were employees, not independent contractors, for purposes of unemployment insurance.
Milano's had purchased the club in 2002. In 2004, Milano's began treating the exotic dancers as independent contractors, rather than employees. The Supreme Court, affirming the rulings of the Court of Appeal, the trial court and Kansas Department of Labor, found that the dancers were in fact employees under Kansas law.
The Court based its ruling upon the common-law definition of employment under Kansas law, which focuses primarily upon the right to control the employer has over the employee and his or her work. The Court found that substantial evidence demonstrated that Milano's had the right to control, rendering the dancers employees. Most telling, from the Court's point of view, was the fact that Malino's set various rules — specifically prohibiting illicit or illegal conduct and regulating interaction among the dancers and between dancers and customers, as well as enforcing minimum tips for various dancers. The dancers' violations of those rules were punishable by fines and termination. This, the Court concluded, demonstrated a right to control.
Comment: In many states, including California, the right to control is the most important factor in determining the existence of an employment relationship. But there are different ways of interpreting what "the right to control" means as a practical matter, and this case demonstrates how such interpretations can vary from state to state. For example, California law allows for a principal to exercise a certain level of general supervision over an independent contractor with respect results without transforming the relationship to into one of employment. In sum, although we could not predict with certainty how the same fact scenario would have played out outside of Kansas, it is possible this case might have had a different result in California.
Nevertheless, a business must carefully consider any decision to designate a worker as an independent contractor, as this case illustrates. More and more often, disgruntled workers are filing lawsuits claiming to be employees. The consequences for making a mistake in classification (including liability for overtime, wage and hour violations, unemployment insurance, taxes, and attorney fees) can be substantial. Thus, it is advisable for an employer to obtain good legal advice before deciding to classify a worker as an independent contractor.

This is my dog when he was only 2 years old as pup! He was ranked as number 2 show dog in all of North America, and he was number 1 in Canada. His name was Expo, (Also known as his show name; Northern Exposure). He was a gorgeous little guy that we put down this spring. He was 11 and he had some really rare form of throat cancer that spread into his spine. He was a great little dog and all my family misses him very much! -Fuji
Thanks Game! It was really sad! He had cancer from around September to all the way up to March ish? The poor guy was normally 50lbs and he sunk all the way to close to 37lbs from the sickness. It was rough on him, but he was a tough little trooper. We did get him cremated and a ceramic cast of his paw print, which is one of my most prized possessions ever haha! It was just nice, because our vet was amazing. We also have his little box of ashes in my kitchen LOL! -Fuji
Thanks Ben! They are by far my favorite type of dogs. He had one of the best personalities ever! He was such a bubbly little bulldog, who loved people and kids. -Fuji
Actually, it's Fluffy. Fluffy Arnaud Finnegan III. I've had three turtles, and he just happens to be the third one I've had.
Condolences, Fuji. My dog is an Australian Shepherd. He is a show dog reject. His coloring on his hind quarters is a bit off, and he has a coloboma (sp) in his eyes, meaning his pupils have an irregular shape. Showdog rejects make awesome pets. Their owners are careful with their breeding, so he came with hip certification. Because he was bred for the show ring, he lacks much of the herding instinct that can make a herding dog a pain in the backside. Mostly, he follows me around the house begging for a bit of cheese. I will see if I can find a pic to post. . . .
Thank you Ceasar, our doxie, we ended up with unintentionally. We bought him for my mother 5 years ago. When she passed 2 years ago, he was left to us. He has found a nice place here, although a lil' cold for his short fur hehe. We have to wrap him in sweaters and jackets for winter walks, and the snow is usually way taller than him lol.
Thanks Cindy! It's for sure one of the reason I love show dogs. The owners make sure their dogs are in the best possible health and they are usually pretty friendly to boot. Oh you are so lucky! A friend of mine got an Australian Shepard as well, thinking it was going to be a house dog. Yeah, no LOL! They live on a huge piece of farm land, and all it does is chase cattle all day. Seriously, that's it. You can't even play with it unless you go in and chase cows towards it. It's a crazy little beast. My little piggy dog did the same thing. He didn't eat dog food, our vet told us to keep up optimal health to cook him dinner every night. I made him Fish Sticks, green beans and hashbrowns every night for like 10 years. LOL! The only treats he got were frozen fish sticks and sometimes some sausages! -Fuji
Skye and Saffi look great ! Feña14 you have very awesome friends Where did you get them from ? and what is their breed and origins ?
I'd love to do this, but I can't fit all 3 of our cats since one fears me more than the apocalypse. Also Woodrow, your Husky (if I'm right, I only think "dog, dog, dog") is awesome.
Now that is a f*'ing dog! What do you mean by 'mutt'? The girl dogs must swoon when he walks into the Dog Park. Should have called him Roger though.

Warhammer Online has been maturing nicely over the years since its release. We took the opportunity to find out what's been going on and what the future holds for Mythic's game. We spoke with Lead Designer Keaven Freeman to find out. Read on and then head to the comments to chat it up.
MMORPG: It's been a long time since we last chatted, Keaven. How go things on WAR? The title seems to have settled in with a dedicated hardcore group of fans.
KEAVEN: Overall, things are going great! I have always personally felt WAR was destined to be for the dedicated hardcore group we have now. I couldn't be happier that we have such a close, and active, group of players.

Cameron insults our intelligence over Syria… and gets a slap from Putin
Finian CUNNINGHAM
They say a picture paints a thousand words. The photograph of British Prime Minister David Cameron and Russian President Vladimir Putin in London recently certainly does. When the two leaders gave a press conference at the weekend in Downing Street ahead to the G8 summit, Cameron had the excruciating look of a desperate man. Putin, by contrast, appeared in control. The latter spoke in measured tones and with discernible contempt in his voice.
The two leaders had emerged from a «difficult» – diplomatic language for «combative» – private meeting in which Syria was top of the agenda. Apparently, President Putin had kept his British host waiting for one hour before arriving.
Afterwards, at the press conference, Cameron winced and gripped the podium as if it was a precipice from which he was hanging, as Putin delivered his comments. Cameron had good reason to look fearful as he hung on every word emanating from the Russian leader.
Then Putin pushed diplomacy to the limit when he said: «You will not deny that one does not really need to support the people who not only kill their enemies, but open up their bodies, eat their intestines in front of the public and cameras. Are these the people you want to support? Is it them who you want to supply with weapons? Then this probably has little relation to humanitarian values that have been preached in Europe for hundreds of years».
It was the rhetorical equivalent of a public slap in the face for the conceited British prime minister.
Putin was referring explicitly to the countless videos that have emerged over recent months showing a litany of barbarities committed by the Western so-called «rebels» who have been waging a war inside Syria for the past two and half years to topple the government of President Bashar al-Assad. The depravities include eviscerating bodies of slain victims and forcing children to decapitate soldiers and civilians.
In reality these «pro-democracy rebels» whom the Western governments and media have lionized are a rag-tag paramilitary force of extremists and terrorists who have gravitated to Syria from up to 30 countries, including Libya, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey and the Russian Caucasus. These mercenaries share the same abstruse Wahhabi/Salafist theology, which gives them an ideological green light to butcher anyone that stands in their way of setting up a fundamentalist Emirate in Syria. The NATO powers, led by the US, Britain and France, have armed this proxy army to the teeth and equipped it with logistics and training from Special Forces to do the West's dirty work of regime change.
Consistent reports testify that the American CIA and British M16 are directing the terrorist traffic into Syria from bordering Turkey, Jordan, Lebanon and Israel. There are also reliable reports that Western military intelligence agents have equipped and trained the mercenaries in Syria in the use of chemical weapons, including the deadly nerve poison sarin, which confounds British, French and American government claims last week that it is the Syrian national forces that are using these weapons. That Western claim – presented without of a scintilla of evidence – has been firmly rebutted by both Russia and Syria.
Yet when Cameron spoke first at the London press conference, he appeared to be exhorting Putin on the need for humanitarian principles and urgency.
Ironically, Britain and its allied Western sponsors of state terrorism in Syria have accused Russia of destabilizing Syria and the region from its maintenance of normal diplomatic relations with the sovereign government in Damascus and for Moscow's support of a planned peace conference in Geneva between the Assad administration and members of the internal political opposition. Putin reminded his British host that Russian delivery of weapons to Assad, in particular the S-300 anti-aircraft defense system, was part of a long-standing legal transaction – unlike the clandestine orchestration of foreign jihadists by Western and Arab rogue states in complete violation of international law and norms.
Still, in face of this damning evidence, Cameron struggled to sound statesmanlike as Putin looked on with an admixture of indignation and tedium.
Cameron tried ever-so desperately to strike a pose of consensus with his Russian guest. He said: «What I take from our conversation today is that we can overcome these differences if we recognize that we share some fundamental aims: to end the conflict, to stop Syria breaking apart, to let the Syrian people decide who governs them, and to take the fight to the extremists and defeat them».
Cameron's vow «to let the Syrian people decide who governs them, and take the fight to the extremists and defeat them» is plain old execrable duplicity of the flavour that British politicians are past masters at selling.
The British premier added that Britain and Russia should put aside their differences to find «common ground». What this archetypal British dissembling is aiming at is to somehow inveigle Moscow into jettisoning its strategic relations with the Assad government and to leave Syria at the mercy of marauding Western-backed death squads. Where is the «common ground» in that arrangement? It sounds more like wanting to push Russia and Syria over the abyss.
Within hours of the Downing Street meeting between Cameron and Putin, the former French foreign minister Roland Dumas was separately revealing to French media that he was approached by British officials with a plan to destabilize Syria – two years before the outbreak of conflict in March 2011.
Elsewhere at the weekend, British foreign minister William Hague was maintaining the fiction that Britain was on the side of «moderates» in Syria. Hague told the BBC: "We are currently sending equipment that saves lives, and who are we sending that to? Well, we are sending it to those more moderate, more sensible elements of the opposition. Obviously, we're not sending it to extremist groups, to groups that we're very concerned about, that could become a terrorist threat».
This is again sheer British duplicity and dissembling in the glaring spotlight of truth. The so-called Free Syrian Army of mercenaries, better known as the Foreign Supplied Army, is comprised of more than 70 per cent of foreign jihadist, most of whom like the Jabhat Al Nusra are affiliated with Al Qaeda. The liaison between British and American military intelligence and Al Qaeda-linked Mujahideen is a long-standing collusion, dating back to Afghanistan during the 1980s when these foot soldiers waged a dirty war for the West against the Soviet Union.
The Russians hardly need to snoop on British government phone calls and emails to know of the decades-old collusion that exists between Britain, the US and Al Qaeda proxy terrorists – a collusion which has now caused a maelstrom of destruction and human suffering in Syria, with over 90,000 deaths.
So, when Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke in London of organ-eating terrorists supported by the NATO powers, he was right to rhetorically slap Britain's Cameron in the face. Putin was just right, too, to make Cameron wince and grip that podium with white knuckles before delivering the all-embarrassing slap. For Cameron had minutes earlier just tried to insult Putin's intelligence, and the rest of the world's, with bare-faced lies about Britain's nefarious role in Syria.

Think of Dear Ellie as your very own kitchen table, where you can discuss the things that are on your mind. Now that the boomers are turning 60 and those in the Greatest Generation are in their 70s, 80s, and 90s—we are all blazing new trails in the third third of life. So, have a cup of coffee and let's talk about life: the past, the present, and the future. [Editor's note: Dr. Greenberg no longer contributes to Silver Planet, but we have made her archived blog entries available as a service to our readers.]
Dear Ellie:
I have been trying to make it in my own business for a number of years, and I was doing OK until this economic downturn happened. Now, my clients have disappeared, and I have not been successful finding new ones. Do you think I should stop trying and just get a waitressing job until this blows over? I am 56 years old, divorced, with a grown son and daughter. My health is good. Sharon
Dear Sharon:
There are no quick and good answers to issues of work in this economic climate. One thing is for sure: You must apply for unemployment benefits. Those funds may be your only steady source of income for a while. I surely hope that, as a self-employed person, you have been paying into the unemployment fund.
Since I do not know anything about your skills or your business, it's hard for me to give you specific advice. But you just can't wait until you get new clients or the former ones return. So try to think of this period of time as a transition and make some constructive use of the opportunity to learn some new things.
For example, if you have not had a career assessment in a long time—or ever—investigate the nearest public work center or community college in your county and find out if they have assessment services. If they do, by all means, take advantage of them. Also inquire if those agencies are offering workshops on job searching. If they do, sign up!
If you can get a waitressing job, and you have some experience doing that kind of work, try it for a while. You need to find ways to keep some money coming in as you negotiate this period of time. I'm not suggesting that you trade off your self-employment for a permanent waitressing job, but it would be good if you could pay some basic bills and save a little, even during this hard time.
The old standbys are also important: networking, meeting new people, watching the ads, applying for jobs, and talking to as many people as you can. This is not the time to hide at home and become depressed and lonely. Get out and get going! Ellie

Faced with a huge shortage of doctors in rural health care in Bengal, the government is mulling a proposal wherein medical practitioners must join district hospitals or block primary health centres (BPHCs) if they want admission to postgraduate MD and MS courses.
In fact, doctors will have to sign a bond in this regard before they appear for the MD/MS entrance examination.
State chief secretary Sanjay Mitra discussed the issue at a meeting with Satish Tiwari, principal secretary in charge of health, professor Susanta Banerjee, director of medical education, and director of health services Dr BR Satpathi at Writers' Buildings on Tuesday.
"Primary health care services are reeling under an acute shortage of medical practitioners. We have a plan to send doctors to the rural health care services for at least one year after completion of their MD and MS courses. But they'll have to sign a bond before appearing for the entrance exams for the courses. It'll be mandatory for all of them each year. We discussed the issue with the health secretary today," Banerjee told HT. "We're exploring all the pros and cons of the move, which will be implemented next year if the government approves it," he added.
Existing rules say MBBS doctors who join the government health care services must spend the first 6 years of their service in rural hospitals or BPHCs. They will be allowed to join the MD and MS courses only if they complete at least the first three years in the primary health care services.
A health department official said the government was yet to recruit doctors in permanent posts since it came to power in May 2011. Only several hundred fresh MBBS doctors have been recruited as medical officers on an ad hoc basis. Each ad hoc doctor gets R40,000 each month without any additional benefits.

October is National Pet Wellness Month
Twice-A-Year Wellness Exams Can Help Pets Live Longer, Healthier Lives
Sep 14, 2005, 01:00 ET from Fort Dodge Animal Health
SCHAUMBURG, Ill. and OVERLAND PARK, Kan., Sept. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Sassy, a long haired calico cat, got the right start in life. Adopted as a kitten, her caring new owners started Sassy early on a lifetime of semi-annual wellness exams from their veterinarian. Her routine wellness exams dealt with the most important health screenings for cats -- immunizations, heartworm and other parasite checks, dental health and laboratory evaluations. During one such exam when Sassy was fourteen, her veterinarian, Dr. Lynn Fremin Buzhardt, detected a heart murmur. "Sassy continued to do well as we monitored her heart condition twice a year," said Dr. Buzhardt, co-owner of The Animal Center, Inc. in Zachary, LA. Then, at sixteen, Sassy was diagnosed with kidney disease and hypertension. Now seventeen, she's receiving home therapy for declining kidney function "but otherwise is doing well for a patient her age," says Dr. Buzhardt. "After all, today, Sassy's age is equivalent to 84 human years." Dr. Buzhardt credits a lifetime of twice-a-year wellness exams with helping cats like Sassy live to become senior citizens. "Her owners understand the importance of twice-a-year wellness exams for early disease detection and prevention," said Dr. Buzhardt. Dr. Buzhardt, who recommends twice-a-year wellness exams for all of her patients, says it's never too late to get a pet started with routine wellness exams. "Because pets age seven times faster, on average, than people, major health changes can occur in a short amount of time," said Dr. Buzhardt. "That's why a wellness exam every six months is so important." To help all of her clients learn more about the pet aging process and the health benefits of twice-a-year wellness exams, Dr. Buzhardt's clinic participates in National Pet Wellness Month, a nationwide educational campaign sponsored by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) and Fort Dodge Animal Health. "Communicating with clients about how to keep their pets healthy is a top priority for our clinic staff," said Dr. Buzhardt. "The National Pet Wellness Month campaign helps us facilitate client communications by providing a wide variety of useful educational materials and encouraging pet owners to ask veterinarians about pet wellness exams." October marks the start of the second year of the National Pet Wellness Month campaign. New for this fall are educational materials emphasizing feline health issues. According to the AVMA, cats are brought to the veterinarian only about half as often as dogs. "Cats can hide illness better than dogs and many times owners may not realize there is a problem," said Dr. Marty Becker, contributing veterinarian for Good Morning America and veterinary/pet columnist for Knight Ridder/Tribune. He advises cat owners to take their pets to the veterinarian every six months for a wellness exam and pay close attention to changes in weight, food and water consumption, elimination, grooming and other behaviors. "The ability of a cat owner to perceive and respond to subtle changes in a pet's behavior can make a big difference in the life and health of a cat," said Dr. Becker. Dr. Becker, who serves as consumer spokesperson for National Pet Wellness Month, says twice yearly wellness exams are important for all cats and dogs because they help the veterinarian detect, treat and, ideally, prevent problems before they become life threatening. During National Pet Wellness Month and continuing throughout the year, pet owners can obtain important pet aging and wellness exam information, tailored specifically to their pets, at their local veterinary clinics. "A pet owner's best source for wellness exam information is their personal veterinarian," said Dr. Becker. The National Pet Wellness Month campaign theme, "Twice A Year For Life!" reminds consumers about the importance of semi-annual wellness exams for all cats and dogs.
