24 Great Back-to-School Books for Preschool thru Middle School
Great back to school books for kids in preschool, elementary or middle school!
I know many kids have mixed feelings about starting a new school year and some are a little anxious about heading back to school and moving up a grade.
As a parent and educator, I can tell you that most kids don't just come out and tell you about their back to school fears and concerns.
Kids tend to hold things in and then the first week of school you might notice them losing sleep, being more anxious or showing signs of nervouseness.
Try reading a few books (or having older kids read themselves) about the grade they are about to enter.

Daily Fantasy Baseball Cheat Sheet For 8/21/16
Daily Fantasy Baseball Cheat Sheet: August 21, 2016 DFS Tips for games on 8/21/16
August 21, 2016
Check sites for prices See the Latest Odds
Here's my fantasy lineup for August 21, 2016.
A full slate of 15 games on Sunday once again, where we may see a couple of new division leaders by the end of the day. Here is my take on today's action.
USA TODAY Sports
Pitcher #1: Jose Quintana, CWS
Salary: $9,900
Analysis: The White Sox have fallen off a cliff, going from potential World Series contender at 24-12 to this season's biggest disappointment at 57-64. However it's not all bad on the south side as Quintana has been one of the most consistent options in the rotation to this point. As far as DFS goes, i'm taking Quintana on Sunday. Besides the fact that Quintana is a .500 pitcher with an ERA under three, his career numbers against the A's is what I'm looking at. Current A's batters are only hitting a combined .162 against Quintana with only 1 extra base hit and 21 strikeouts. While the Sox may not have much to play for the rest of the way, I like Quintana to have another solid outing against one of the most inconsistent teams in all of baseball.
Pitcher #2: Ryan Vogelsong, PIT
Salary: $5,700
Analysis: This is a smaller price than I was expecting for Vogelsong, but hey I'll take it. By no means has Vogelsong been a star this season, however in his appearances this year he has been pretty good. To be honest, the main reason why I'm taking Vogelsong here is because of his past success against the Marlins. Current Miami hitters are only batting .237 lifetime vs. Vogelsong, with only 1 homer and 6 RBI. It's clear to me that this Marlins lineup is not the same without Giancarlo Stanton, and it appears they're starting to fade out of the wild-card race. Look for Vogelsong to give us some bang for our buck with this value pick and a strong outing for the Pirates.
Catcher: Nick Hundley, COL
Salary: $3,000
Analysis: Jason Hammel has been surprisingly reliable option for the Cubs this season. One of the Colorado Rockies that will be happy to square off with Hammel, is my value pick behind the plate in Nick Hundley. Hundley has had past success against Hammel, batting .389 with a home run, 2 RBI and 4 extra base hits, only striking out 3 times. Although Hammel is still in the top 10 in batting average against, I like Hundley to do some damage against the Cubs on Sunday.
1st base: Ryan Howard, PHI
Salary: $4,300
Analysis: Howard wasn't my first choice at 1st base, however I did manage to find some value here. Mike Leake it's just one of those pitchers that I have zero faith in, and seeing Ryan Howard on Sunday is not something that Mike Leake should be particularly interested in. In his career, Howard is batting .348 against Leake with 3 homers, 8 RBI and 4 extra base hits. I'm not usually a Ryan Howard guy, but I will be here in the hopes that we get a big performance from Howard for the Phillies in the series finale.
2nd base: Robinson Cano, SEA
Salary: $5,200
Analysis: I usually have success picking against the Brewers, and I'm hoping Sunday will be no different. Matt Garza takes the hill for Milwaukee and although he's had a few good starts since coming back from injury, he's still a sub .500 pitcher with an ERA of almost 5. Facing the wild-card hungry Mariners on Sunday may inflate Garza's ERA by a few points with guys like Cano on the other side. Cano has had success in his career against Garza, batting .375, with 2 homers, 7 RBI and 5 extra base hits. I'm thinking the over hits in this game and like I said yesterday when the over hits, usually a couple guys have big games, and I think Cano comes through big here.
3rd base: Josh Donaldson, TOR
Salary: $4,300
Analysis: This is a tricky pick, mainly because Donaldson is day-to-day, however JD is scheduled to return to the lineup. If Donaldson does in fact play, he will face-off against Indians strikeout master, Corey Kluber, one of the many pitchers Donaldson has had career success against. Donaldson is .385 with a homer and 4 RBI against Kluber in his career. As September comes closer, the Blue Jays know that every game is going to be crucial towards their goal of reaching the playoffs for the second consecutive season. With Donaldson being one of those Blue Jays, I think he shows up here fresh off of a couple of days rest.
Shortstop: Brad Miller, TB
Salary: $4,600
Analysis: There was no major psychological reason why I chose Miller here. My selection of Miller is really only based on his career success against Rangers starter Martin Perez. Miller is a career .400 with an RBI and an extra base hit in a small sample size (10 at-bats). The rays are simply looking to play spoiler here, I think they do exactly that behind a solid offensive night from Miller.
Outfielder #1: Mark Trumbo, BAL
Salary: $4,400
Analysis: i'm thinking that the reason why Trumbo's price is lower than usual is because the O's are taking on Houston's supposed-to-be ace, Dallas Keuchel. However anyone that has watched Keuchel for extended periods this season can see that the Astros #1 is clearly not himself this season. When Keuchel takes the bump against Baltimore on Sunday, one Oriole he will want to be weary of is Mark Trumbo. Trumbo is a lifetime 6-for-13 against Keuchel with all 6 of those hits resulting in extra bases, 3 being home runs and 7 RBI. Look for the O's slugger to improve on his league leading home run tally on Sunday.
Outfielder #2: Yoenis Cespedes, NYM
Salary: $3,300
Analysis: Are you kidding me? This might be one of the biggest steals of the season in my opinion. While some may say that Cespedes hasn't been very good this year, he's fresh off the DL and is coming off a monster performance on Saturday, blasting 2 homers and an RBI double to push 3 across the plate as the Mets look to be in resurgence mode. Add in the fact that San Francisco is sending struggling righty Jeff Samardzija to the hill for the Sunday nighter, this could spell disaster for the Giants. Cespedes is .308 lifetime against Samardzija, with 2 homers and 3 RBI. If Cespedes' bat can carry over from Saturday, we may be looking at our highest point-getter from the field on Sunday.
Outfielder #3: Ryan Braun, MIL
Salary: $4,800
Analysis: Like I said before with Robinson Cano, I think games that go over the total usually mean that there are going to be a couple of big performances on one side or the other, or in this case, both. Seattle is throwing rookie Ariel Miranda to the mound on Sunday, and quite simply from what I've seen from Miranda this season, i'm not convinced he's ready for the big leagues just yet. Veterans like Ryan Braun feast on opportunities like this and I think that's exactly what will happen on Sunday. No stats to back up this one, just a gut feeling.
Salary remaining (out of a $50,000 budget): $500

Phoenix Kitchen Remodeling ~ Phoenix Bathroom Remodeling
Homeowners who are experiencing weak water pressure in their kitchen or bathroom may be having this problem for a number of reasons. One of the most common is corroded piping. Homes that feature galvanized or steel pipes may acquire mineral buildup and corrosion after a couple of decades of use.

With our assistance the job becomes a snap and the homeowner is well on their way to a more luxurious and efficient lifestyle. Phoenix Repipe Experts
An outdated toilet wastes thousands of gallons of water every year.

Updating the plumbing can go a long way toward achieving that goal.

Liam Neeson kicks way on to Forbes rich list
HOLLYWOOD action hero Liam Neeson is the only Irish actor to make it on to the Forbes 'highest paid actors' list.
The Taken trilogy star made a whopping €18m in the past year, with no other Irish actor coming close to the Antrim man's pay packet.
Neeson came 22nd in the annual Forbes Actor Rich List, thanks to a string of big budget productions in 2014.
The 63-year old, who recently featured in Ted 2 and Entourage, had major roles in the third instalment of the Taken series, Run All Night and A Walk Among the Tombstones.
Neeson shared his spot on the list with Gone Girl star, Ben Affleck.
Australian superstar, Hugh Jackman, came in at number 21 with earnings of €21m.
Although Neeson still ranks highly on the list, he has made a significant drop from sixth place in 2014.
Neeson earned a staggering $36m (€27m) in the previous year.
This year's list sees Iron Man star, Robert Downey Jnr, come out on top for the third year running, earning $80m (€74m), followed by Jackie Chan with $50m (€46m).
Action man and producer, Vin Diesel, came in third with $47m (€43m), while Bradley Cooper ranked fourth - taking home $41.5m(€38m) in 2014.
Having originally made a name for himself in drama films, Neeson's career took a turnaround when he became an action hero in his mid-fifties.
This transformation took off in 2009 with the first instalment of the kidnap drama Taken, which grossed more than $24m (€22m) in its opening weekend.
Neeson went on to play Hannibal in blockbuster movie The A Team.
Roles in thrillers such as The Grey, Unknown and mythological feature film Clash of the Titans secured his position as a bankable box office leading man in Hollywood.
In a recent interview, the actor told the Independent UK he was a little embarrassed by his new-found fame.
"Action heroes used to be for much younger men, but now I get all these scripts where it's 'scratch 35, now it's 60," he said.

Adding to all its other problems, the intelligence community's inspector general, I. Charles McCullough III, has discovered a rash of fraud cases involving employees and contractors within the 16 agencies and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI).
Between July 1, 2012, and March 31, McCullough's office completed 26 investigations that substantiated violations of criminal law or administrative regulations. An additional 29 inquiries remain open, according to a heavily redacted inspector general's report made public last week by Steven Aftergood on his Federation of American Scientists Web site.
The IG attributed the increase in cases to its own "initiative to proactively identify false billings by ODNI contractors." This was achieved by increasing the recurring data available for analysis and running a data interrogation program that led to investigations of possible fraud.
Only seven closed cases that the Justice Department decided not to prosecute were briefly described in the IG report. There was no indication how many of the 19 other closed cases are being considered for prosecution. About 25 of the open investigations involve false claims for time worked, according to the report.
Aftergood characterized a few of the cases described in the report as "creative forms of misconduct."
For example, an ODNI employee was discovered having operated a personal Web site during working hours using government computer systems to solicit and receive donations. In addition, the employee apparently contacted news media outlets to sell articles without first subjecting them to pre-publication review, as rules require.
Instead of prosecuting the case, the ODNI employee's managers "issued him a letter of reprimand that restricts him from receiving a promotion, bonus award or step increase for three years," the IG report said.
Twenty-three of the closed cases involved "labor mischarging" — the ODNI term for contractors padding their bills. Here, too, some appeared creative.
Two owners, who were the only employees of a subcontracting firm, mischarged 1,691 hours to the government for time running "a business for horse saddle padding," according to the IG report.
The IG investigators also found that the two used their business to lease three BMW automobiles for personal use and to purchase artwork. Instead of prosecution, the case was turned over to the head of ODNI contracting activity to recover the unauthorized charges and to the Internal Revenue Service to see whether there were any tax violations.
In other cases, a contractor billed the government for 700 hours of labor not performed during a 14-month period. The person also employed government computer systems four to six hours a day for personal use "to include the administration of a distance education course being taught for a local university," the IG said.
Another contractor billed the government for 400 hours working at home on matters "outside the scope of the contract" during a one-year period.
In these cases, as with others described as "labor mischarging," the IG report said the government potentially could recover more than $1 million.
One incentive for the increased focus on fraud may have come from the IG's review of the 2010 Improper Payments Elimination and Recovery Act, which requires agencies to "identify and estimate improper payments" and "conduct payment recapture audits with respect to each program and activity that expends $1 million or more annually, if conducting such audits would be cost-effective."
The IG also reported that he and the Defense Department's inspector general are conducting a joint review on "the disciplinary actions taken in response to misconduct substantiated by the IG" that was requested by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and begun in July 2012. As of March 31 it was in final draft form, according to the report.
In addition, the IG reported that he is involved in evaluating ODNI's response to the 2010 Reducing Over-Classification Act, including the identification of policies and procedures "that may be contributing to persistent misclassification of material."
Some items redacted from the IG's report may be an illustration of the problem.
For example, a report on inspections of the Office of Legislative Affairs (conducted over four months in 2012) and the Office of the Chief Financial Officer (done this year over three months) both blacked out "challenges" found in the running of the offices. In both cases, however, the report left unclassified the "commendables" found. Pages in which the IG makes "open recommendations" and "corrective action" for both offices also were blacked out.
The citation made to justify the redacted portions refers to the section of a statute, 50 U.S. Code 3024, which gives authority to the director of national intelligence to "protect intelligence sources and methods from unauthorized disclosure."
In these cases, though, it refers to allowing the withholding because they involve "intra-agency memos" and "pre-decisional recommendations" exempted under the Freedom of Information Act.
Apparently, what has been done right can be made public, but what may have been done wrong can't.

text: I'm gearing up for getting my yard in shape this spring and I was in the John Deere Landscapes/Lesco store today. I'm in North Florida(Jacksonville) growing St Augustine grass. I asked the guy at the counter about when to apply a pre-emergent and he said Feb-15th. That sounds about right to me. I also asked him whether to spray or to put down a granular version. He recommended a granular (0-0-7 with dimension) since I was using a backpack sprayer. Is this my best option or should I spray? With what if so? I was planning on using Mansion with a spreader/sticker for post. He also recommended a 24-2-11 in march then in april a 18-0-9 with allectus and again in June. Is this a sound plan? Would you modify it?

LeBron James lifts Heat over Pacers
The reigning NBA champion Heat took a 3-2 lead over the Pacers in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference finals. The winner of the series will face Western Conference champion San Antonio in the league's title series beginning June 6.
Trailing 44-40 at halftime, the Heat out-scored Indiana 30-13 in a third quarter that may prove to be the difference in what has been a close, physical and sometimes testy series.
Fittingly it was James, who recently collected the fourth regular-season Most Valuable Player award of his career, leading the charge. He single-handedly out-scored the Pacers by three points and also handed out four assists of his six assists and grabbed four of his eight rebounds.
"That's LeBron showing his greatness, and making it look easy," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "His engine in that third quarter was just incredible. "He was tireless. He was making plays on both ends of the court, rebounding, covering so much ground defensively and making virtually every play for us offensively.
"It's really remarkable and a testament to his conditioning and to his greatness — his ability to make big plays when you need them." The Heat will try to finish off the Pacers in Indiana in Game Six on Saturday and return to the NBA finals for the third straight year.

Chia Cam: Day 6
Annoyed that Garfield is getting all the attention, Scooby has decided to start throwing out some sprouts of his own. They're definitely not worms. though they are a little pale and wan. I opened the blinds in the family room so the poor pets wouldn't die from lack of photosynthesis.
I think it's yet another sign of my insanity: I sit in a dark room for months but let the sun in because the plants are suffering.

An Unusual Case of Septic Arthritis
- Oct 1, 2005
- Topics:
Septic or infectious arthritis in healthy adult horses usually develops rapidly, creating significant lameness, but a recent case report found that septic arthritis might appear chronic rather than acute, and that it can be caused by an unusual bacterium.
Septic arthritis is almost always exquisitely painful, and the lameness it causes only gets worse until the infection is treated. Christina Hewes, DVM, treated the first documented case of Mycobacterium avium causing septic arthritis in a horse when she was at Washington State University's (WSU) College of Veterinary Medicine. Other cases probably have been missed since the signs point to chronic, degenerative arthritis rather than septic arthritis. This might be because mycobacteria are notoriously difficult to kill and do not cause acute, severe lameness, as do other infectious causes. The body responds to infection by walling the bacteria off in tumor-like masses of immune cells and bacteria called granulomas. Finding the organism for culture is very difficult, and treatment lasts for months.
When a 12-year-old American Saddlebred gelding was admitted to WSU with chronic lameness of the right carpal (knee) joint, he had all the signs of chronic, degenerative arthritis. He was lame off and on for three years, but the lameness would resolve with cortisone joint injections. The lameness had recently worsened, and an injection was ineffective. Radiographs of the knee identified a large, cyst-like structure at the end of the radius (the upper foreleg bone ending at the knee), which prompted the referral. The case appeared recently in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association.
A thorough workup at the teaching hospital confirmed the need for diagnostic arthroscopy to examine the joint and determine the cause of the lameness. However, when the horse went to surgery for arthroscopy, the synovial surface of the radiocarpal joint was found to be smooth and intact. This was unexpected in a case of chronic arthritis. The cystic structure in the radius, which was debrided, was full of soft material surrounded by a thickened synovial layer. After surgery, careful examination of the removed synovial tissue revealed the mass to be a granuloma, which was positive for Mycobacterium avium. The diagnosis was changed to "septic arthritis and granulomatous synovitis."
How Mycobacterium infected this horse's radius will never be known, and due to the poor prognosis for soundness, the gelding was ultimately euthanatized when a relapse of severe lameness occurred.

The Captains Surprising Five For Twenty TenThe Captains Surprising Five For Twenty Ten
Earlier this week I rushed home from work for the same reason that millions of other Americans did – the Census form!
Filling out a form primarily used for demographic data is about as exciting as it gets! The form only took a few minutes to fill out, but the thoughts that arose from it occupied me for hours. It started when I thought back to the last time I filled out a Census form in March 2000. I remembered filling out the form after The Chad and I returned home from our spring break trip to South Padre Island, Texas. I was sun burnt and still hung over from five days of drinking. Filling out that form was probably the most responsible thing I did that month.
Back then I was a 21 year old college student getting ready to complete my first senior year. I had shoulder length hair and I drove a Ford Escort. I lived with Dr. Dan and The Chad in a crappy little house by campus1. At that time I had two main concerns in life: intoxicating myself in increasingly exotic ways and doing as little work as possible to maintain a 3.25 grade point average.
Obviously my priorities have changed dramatically in the past ten years, along with a great many other things. I've been preoccupied the last few days thinking about everything that's changed in my life over that ten year period. Most of those changes aren't really all that surprising. Back then I assumed that I would be married by thirty and that I would pursue a post college degree at some point. But some things I would have never guessed in a million years. This topic seemed tailor made for a Friday 5 list.
Top 5 Things About The 31 Year Old Captain That Would Surprise The 21 Year Old Version
1. I'm married to my high school crush
Ten years ago I was blissfully recently single and I had no immediate plans for a committed relationship. While I wasn't interested in a girlfriend at the time, I knew deep down that I wanted to meet a respectable girl and get married before the end of the decade. But I always assumed the future Mrs. Captain was someone I had yet to meet and not someone that I had already known for five years at that point. Back then I viewed Megan as The One Who Got Away and just assumed she would remain that way. How often does someone actually get a chance to catch The One Who Got Away? The odds seemed long, but the payoff was astronomical!
2. I still have a respectable amount of hair
I've always assumed that I would grow up to be a bald man; the bald gene is prevalent on both sides of my family. The odds seemed stacked in favor of me having a chrome-dome in ten years. But that never came to be, largely due to my good friend Propeica. Right before I turned 30 I enlisted this Rx soldier to help me defeat male pattern baldness. At the time I was sustaining heavy casualties, and Propeica single handedly turn the tide. In the 1½ years since then my hair loss has pretty much stopped. So a big shout out to Science! Thanks!
3. I'm a diehard Cardinals fan
Growing up, I was never a really that much of a sports fan. Of course I liked going to Cardinals games as a kid, but that was standard for all St. Louis children in the 1980s2. I largely ignored the mediocre Cardinals of the 1990s, with the exception being the 1998 McGwire season. In 2000 I was mostly preoccupied with music and movies. I didn't watched sports and it seemed unlikely that I would start anytime soon. But later that year the Cardinals made the playoffs for the first time in years and I tuned in to watch. In 2001 the Cardinals went back to the playoffs with the help of rookie sensation Albert Pujols. From that season on I was hooked, and I was rewarded with some amazing Cardinals teams over the decade. That's some good timing.
4. I am not a father
Having kids was never something I felt particularly strong about; I just kind of assumed it would happen to me at some point. I thought I would either accidently knock up someone I was dating or I would marry someone who was gung-ho about having a baby. Amazingly neither of these two thing occurred in the past decade. I am happily married and happily childless in 2010. Sweet!
5. I live 15 minutes from where I grew up
Back in 2000 I hoped I would someday find the gumption to move out of Missouri. I gave it a try in Florida for two years, but it didn't stick. In the past ten years I've lived in nine different homes, and six of those were in St. Louis. So I guess it's not super surprising that I live in St. Louis. But I think the most surprising thing on this list is that I now live so close to where I grew up.
If I need to swing buy a Best Buy I now go to the store on St. Charles Rock Road, same as when I was in high school. My default movie theater is once again the AMC West Olive 16. It's still a little hard to believe. In fact, according to Google Maps I live 15 miles from where I was living during the 1990 Census, when I was 11. So according to the records I've only moved fifteen miles in twenty years. Unfuckingbelievable!
The Captain
1. We lived in a tiny 3 bedroom shack in the rear parking lot of a much larger house. It looked like it was the servant's quarters for a stately home. But my rent was only $125 a month!
2. Going to Busch Stadium was super rad back then, it had amazing nachos and a guy nicknamed The Wizard who did backflips!
The Captain Would Like To Introduce Hugo
So apparently Megan and I are crazy, because we adopted another dog on Wednesday. Here is the picture that sold us.
Our new pooch is quite similar to our current pooch; he's a male toy fox terrier pup about two months older than Desmond. We are still trying to decide a proper name for him. In sticking with the Lost theme the most obvious name would be Charlie. However, my younger brother Charlie probably wouldn't be amused.
Most of the other male names on the show would sound goofy for a dog – Locke? Sawyer? Sayid? Smoke Monster? So we're currently calling him Hugo. Desmond & Hugo has a good ring to it.
While getting another puppy may sound ill advised, we actually put a lot of thought into our decision. After several months with Desmond and his unlimited amounts of energy it became apparent to us that he needed more stimulation than we were able to provide him. After seeing Desmond's unbridled excitement towards other dogs at our local dog park, the obvious solution was to get Desmond a friend.
But not just any friend would work. We wanted to find a dog that was similar to Desmond in size and age, so we spent weeks searching the internet for toy fox terriers. Eventually we found an ad for a young male toy fox terrier named Squirt at a shelter in O'Fallon, IL. On paper he sounded like a good fit. His first owner was an elderly lady who simply could not keep up with him and eventually gave him up for adoption.
We went out to visit him last Saturday and we loved almost everything about him1. We filled out the paperwork on the spot and made arrangement to pick him up on Wednesday. The rest of that weekend was spent gathering supplies for the new guy and preparing our house for a second dog.
Meg and I took off work on Wednesday so we could pick him up in the morning, and we were greeted with this loving little face.
Instead of taking Hugo right to our house, we first brought him to Creve Coeur Park. Multiple sources told us the best way to introduce a new dog into a house hold is to have both dogs meet in a neutral setting. So we walked them separately to the park and let them commence their friendship. It was love at first sight. Actually, I don't think love is what you would call this
It was more like obsession mixed with a struggle for supremacy. Both dogs immediately tried to establish dominance over the other, which involved a massive amount of humping. Hugo has a slight size advantage over Desmond, but Desmond has way more energy and is more determined than Hugo. So far this has translated into something of a stalemate.
At first it is hard to tell the two pups apart. To the average eye Hugo just looks like a scrappier version of Desmond. When they are next to each other it's obvious that Desmond is a product of superior breeding. Hugo looks gangly and his fur is kinda splotchy. Desmond looks like a show dog, Hugo looks like a pound puppy.
Personality wise they are quite different. Desmond has a very strong personality and Hugo is much more laid back2. So far this has translated into Desmond following Hugo around the house obsessively. Hugo hasn't had a break from Desmond since he walked in the door on Wednesday. We bought Hugo his own bed, but Desmond curled up next to him right away.
It's a little desperate on Desmond's part, but damn if it isn't adorable. Our little dudes already seem like the best of friends and I imagine this will only increase over time. These two dudes seem ready to face whatever comes their way.
As for Megan and I, we're just hoping that these guys don't end up driving us crazy…
The Captain
1. We may have let him keep his name if it wasn't so ridiculous. Squirt is the soda that alcoholics chase shots with, not a dog name.
2. So in the end, Desmond is the handsome and intense guy who was by himself way too long and Hugo is the bigger and scruffier guy who came from group incarceration…
The Captain Sees Flames And Rifles Coming Over The Hills
As you can see from my numerous twitter feeds yesterday, I had one hell of an awesome Tuesday. Gorgeous weather and exciting day at work and an amazing concert is about as much fun as I've had in ages.
Within the first hour of my workday I knew I was in for a real treat. My boss and I were tagging along with Ranger Tim to take a tour of parks in West County. Our morning began with a tour at the main ranger station. Before we left Ranger Tim thought it would be fun to put my name into the police database to see what came up on the screen. I agreed without thinking and immediately regretted it.
Ranger Tim: It says here you had a warrant in Kingsville, Texas back in 2000?
Me: Uhh…..
My Boss: What was that about?
Me: (shrugs) Spring Break (flash grin)
Ranger Tim: What happened?
Me: What happens in South Padre stays in South Padre?
After we were all done laughing I explained that I had a speeding ticket that I forgot to pay and eventually took care of. It really set the tone for what turned out to be an extremely entertaining day.
Ranger Tim is a middle aged man with a great moustache and a million stories. As would be expected for a guy who spends his days in public parks, he as lots of funny stories about catching people mid-coitus and catching teens with liquor and drugs. Or as he would say, perverts and dope smokers. It must be a generational thing, because I think I've heard the word "pervert" more yesterday than in the rest of my life combined.
The Ranger's stories made the drive entertaining, but the real star was the parks. Not a bad view for 10:30am on a Tuesday.
Having grown up in North County, I was not too familiar with the parks of West County. Surprise, they're really beautiful. We saw all sorts of entertaining things, including a gathering of old men flying little glider planes like this
The planes were cool, but watching them try and free a stuck plane from a tree branch was actually more enjoyable.
I was up for anything and I agreed to almost everything, including riding the carousel.
I was trying hard not to look too thrilled. I did everything except agree to climb this monstrosity
Maybe next time.
The highlight of the day was definitely the prairie field set on fire. Burn! I was lucky enough to watch several parks staff do a controlled burn to a brush field. While they were busy making sure to tightly control fires like this
I was standing in the background sounding like a teenager. Cool! I watched an entire field burn in about an hour as I hatched a plan to bring a busload of teenage boys with me next time and charge admission. I would have paid $5 back when I was 14 to see something this cool.
It was a solid eight hours of stunning scenery and perfect weather, or just the best day of work ever. And my nite was even better. I attended my first concert of the week with my old friends Jamie and Eric. The double bill at the Pageant was one of the best I've seen in awhile – Band of Skulls opening for Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. Band of Skulls is a new group that was featured in my Modern Rock 2009 disc recently and who put on a great live show. Strangely enough, both bands were three piece sets with a female member. Band of Skulls features a kickass bass player named Emma who is a dead ringer for Chrissie Hynde. Killer.
But the real show was BRMC. I've been a fan for a few years now, but I've never found a chance to see them live. Being the huge music fan he is, Eric's seen them multiple times before. Music nerds unite!
From the start I was determined to have the band play "Rifles." It's definitely their best song and probably one of my favorite songs from the past ten years. Eric said they rarely play it live anymore, which made me all the more determined to hear it. After mercilessly shouting "Play Rifles!" for 1½ hours, the band finally relented during the encore. Here's a good approximation of how it sounded.
I came home exhausted late last nite and slept hard. I needed to be well rested, because today was the day that we adopted another toy fox terrier puppy. But more about that tomorrow…
The Captain
The Captain Is Ready For Closure
Every day for the past few months the news coverage had mentioned something about the proposed Health Care Bill. While I have many thoughts on the subject, I have purposely not mentioned this topic here on the Captains Quarters. With so much shouting about this issue on both sides of the table I was trying to not be part of the deafening noise. I usually keep my opinions reserved for those who are interested in having a discussion.
As it now looks like a decision one way or the other may come soon, I've decided that there are a few things that I want to mention before the debate is closed. First off, let me state that I support the passing of this bill. There are many things in this bill that I like and several things that I dislike. But on the whole I think that this should become law for one specific reason – cost containment.
As a guy that works on budgets for the government, I tend to side with the budget office most of the time. In this case, it's the Congressional Budget Office. The CBO looked at the proposed Health Care Bill and determined that over the next nine years it will raise total health care spending by 1% while extending coverage to 34 million Americans who would otherwise go without1. In my book that's an amazing deal. Raising costs 1% and getting over 10% more coverage is a deal for anyone purchasing insurance.
And while I know that there are a lot of assumptions that go into that calculation, I think this is a reasonable estimate. All budgeting involves a fair amount of forecasting and guessing, and I know firsthand that budget offices in government do their best to make estimates as accurate as possible. Could there be more cost containment measures in the bill? Yes, and I would love to see them at some point. But I think this is a good start towards tackling this monster of a problem.
The other thing that I wanted to address is the sudden scrutiny over the parliamentary procedure concerning this bill. I've followed politics pretty closely since my days as a political science major at Missouri State, and I've never seen anyone care this much about the process of Congress adopting a law. This stuff seemed pretty boring to me ten years ago in college, and now it's making the news every day!?!
I honestly can't believe that the general public is really concerned about Filibusters and Reconciliation. Today the chatter was concerning Deeming Resolutions! Really?!?
These discussions always seems super disingenuous to me. As in most sports, the losing team is the only one who complains about the validity of the agreed upon rules. As long as the bill is passed legally according to Congressional rules, then what else is there to discuss?
I think that the vast majority people are really just concerned with the outcome of the vote and could care less which set of parliamentary procedures are invoked. The result is really all that matters to me. So let's finish this discussion already. It's been over a year since this debate began and I am ready for the decision to be made. Yes or no. Up or down. Let's get to it.
The Captain
1. Instead of a snarky comment, I'm actually going to link to the source of this figure . How literary of me.
The Captain Is Sending A Friend Request
Last week I attended a show so wonderful it became my new favorite type of live entertainment, the Middle School Musical1. My 14 year old brother Charlie has decided to follow in my hammy footsteps by taking an interest in theater. He was one of the leads in the Seager Middle School production of Schoolhouse Rock! The Musical.
To my delight, the show was solely comprised of songs from the Schoolhouse Rock! television show. Charlie is a talented singer and was able to score a few solos in some of the best songs. He lead in I'm Just A Bill and also on my personal favorite, 3 Is The Magic Number. Here he is with our brother Paul after the show in his Just A Bill costume.
Great job Charlie!
The funniest part of the whole evening to me was the after-show-freak-out. After most school theater productions the hallway outside the theater is complete chaos. The kids' excitement about performing translates into extreme hyper activity. It's been years since I witnessed firsthand that many teenagers running around and screaming with so much excitement.
My mom informed me that after the show, the 30+ members of the cast headed to Applebee's where they made life hell for several servers and the rest of the patrons2. Back in my school theater days we did the same thing to the waitstaff at the Casa Gallardo on the Rock Road. For some reason this really got me thinking.
Back then it was more or less true that everyone involved in the production was invited out. While everyone may not have been best friends, there was still a certain level of camaraderie within the group. Assembling a large group of people for loose plans on the fly was no big deal. It stayed this way for me pretty much up until I graduated college. There always seemed to be a near endless supply of people ready to meet up at a moment's notice.
This is obviously not the case anymore. Getting a group of friends together now requires at least a week's notice and typically involves several cancelations. I'm not trying to point any fingers here; I am just as guilty of this as everyone else. Lately I have been lamenting this fact because it is about to get more challenging for me. This year is quickly turning into Babypalooza 2010.
Megan and I currently have five close friends/couple who are currently pregnant. My buddy Dave and my buddy Morgan are both due to be parent this summer(!), and our good friends Jamie and Rachel, are expecting twins(!double-up!!) in June. Megan's Maid of Honor is actually in labor today(!) and my buddy Timmy's wife was due on Wednesday! That's a lot of babies; congrats to everyone!
And while newborns do not prevent me from remaining friends with anyone, it does make hanging out with them more challenging. To address this issue I have been attempting to find additional people to fill in the impending gaps. This is proving to be a challenge. As I lamented numerous times while I was living in Florida, making friends becomes more difficult with age. Luckily, living in St. Louis gives me options that Florida did not. I've recently begun trying to reconnect with several friends I haven't seen in awhile, and I've had moderate success. My other strategy has been to try hanging out with some of the casual acquaintances that I've made over the years. This approach has also produced some mild victories.
My next few months look to be rather social for me. Not table for 30 at Casa social, but I am planning on putting myself out there more than usual. So it looks like the next round is on me. Cheers!
The Captain
1. It's kinda like High School Musical movies, but without any real characters or plot. Wait…
2. Although I would contend that if you're at an Applebee's on Thursday nite at 8pm your life is pretty much hell anyways.

India Stands Tall Among BRICS
While the neighbour China is showing the declining trend in GDP growth, India is exhibiting a rising trend as on Dec'15.
India's GDP growth is best among BRICS
Inflation in downtrend
Commodity prices have corrected resulting into the cooling down of inflation
Controlled inflation means higher spending power of consumers thus boosting the economy
crude prices on southward trend
India being net importer of crude oil has benefited from this crude price correction.
Since India is heavily dependent on imported crude oil, lower crude prices lead to low import bill and hence a control over Current Account Deficit.
Falling twin deficits
Rise in direct tax base, increase in indirect tax collection led to the improvement in fiscal deficit, whereas fall in oil prices and gold imports are contributing to a fall in CAD
Reducing fiscal deficit along with the contraction in CAD is improving the overall economic health of the country.
Reducing interest rate scenario
125 bps rate cut has been effected over the last 15 months
Low interest rate scenario fuels consumption leading to enhanced industrial activities.
Your India Is Shining
Here are the 5 reasons why India is the right destination to invest in.

PC Fix Speed - How To Remove?
PC Fix Speed claims to be a system optimizer capable of increasing your computer's speed and repairing computer errors. The truth is it is not a legitimate program but a scam. It gets inside a computer using various tricks, such as social engineering or bundling it with freeware. If you see an advertisement informing that your computer runs slower than it should and click on it, you might get infected with a trial version of PC Fix Speed. Once installed to your computer it will start scanning it and display all sorts of warnings with the only purpose to convince you into buying a full version of it.
A free version of this fake registry cleaner cannot be removed from Control Panel Add and Remove Programs list unless you purchase its complete version. No legitimate application would force a computer user to do so. Another point proving it is a scam is PC Fix Speed scan results.

All celebrities face the scrutiny of unwanted observers ogling their most intimate relationships with an suspicious eye, but it's hard to deny that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart face more fanatical surveillance than most.
Although their 'fairy tale' romance — born from the heady teenage passions of Twilight — ended years ago, the pair's individual love lives and personal relationships haven't ceased to be a topic of public fascination. But why, out of all of the other actors out there, were RPatz and KStew the ones who fell foul of this constant invasion of privacy?
Let's investigate why the relationships of this former couple are never destined to be truly their own and what it is about Rob and Kristen that make them perfect tabloid fodder.
Teenage Dreams
#RobertPattinson and #KristenStewart might be people in their own right, but since the fateful day they signed their #Twilight contracts, they have taken on another identity that is much more important to many of their fans. That of #EdwardCullen and #BellaSwan, the star-crossed lovers who love happily-ever-afters and then some (because, you know, they're immortal.)
This heady tale of raging teenage hormones whipped up with vampire lore that is probably more realistic than it's depiction of romance captivated a young adult audience, and it looks like teenagers for years to come will continue to sink their teeth into the love story.
Rob and Kirsten representing these deeply beloved, emotive book characters caused the boundaries of fantasy and reality to become blurred for many fans — even before #Robsten was a thing — but when the pair actually got together things hit fever pitch.
When Fantasy Merges With Reality
When Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart became a real couple in a real relationship, the teenage dreams of many fans came true. Seeing the leading lovers of Twilight stepping out of the cinema screen into reality seemed to signify to many that the exciting tale of vampiric love and devotion was a real possibility. In short, there is no denying that Twilight spawned intense, creative feelings and strong attachments to the characters that have rubbed off on Rob and Kristen's real lives. Especially thanks to scenes like the one below:
In the press, Rob and Kristen's real names were interchangeable with those of their characters and this shift in Stewart and Pattinson's identity was readily played upon by the press. The idea of Bella and Edward being together in real life generated a lot more hype than framing the pair as two young actors who simply fell in love on set.
Although referring to actors as their character names might seem harmless, in the case of Rob and Kristen, it seems to have made their love lives prime tabloid fodder. A trend that doesn't seem to have changed much since the last Twilight movie in the series flew onto the silver screen four years ago in 2012.
The Burden Of Representation
They might not have asked for it explicitly, but both Rob and Kristen are laden with the burden of representing Bella and Edward for the rest of their lives.
Whenever fans pen a Twilight fan fiction or unpick the intricacies of Stephenie Meyer's story through fan theories, they will almost certainly be imagining both Rob and Kristen's faces.
Being so closely aligned with the characters in arguably the biggest teen romance story for decades is undoubtably the reason why numerous Robsten accounts exist on every platform from Tumblr to Twitter, desperate to keep the illusion that the couple are somehow still together alive. All this despite the fact that RPatz and KStew have been separated for over three years.
Obviously, this is an extreme faction, but the fact that there are "truthers" out there who genuinely believe that Rob and Kristen are secretly married and have a child can't be helpful for the development of both Pattinson and Stewart's post-Twilight love lives.
Obsession Leads To Conspiracy
After representing such totems of romance, Rob and Kristen's love lives continue to be seen as fair game, and perhaps more importantly, a plentiful click generator.
Websites such as Hollywood Life seem to have totally built themselves on the shaky foundations of Robsten relationship rumors thanks to the fervent fan-following both actor's have gathered.
No matter who Rob or Kristen are romantically involved with, it seems like they are media fair game for two reasons:
- Fans feel like they are going out with the wrong person and only Robsten is valid
- Fans feel somehow entitled to access to their love lives thanks to the attachment they formed with their Twilight characters.
The first point especially has led to some troubling racist or homophobic comments bubbling up on images featuring FKA Twigs, Alicia Cargile or Soko from those who do not see these partners as "worthy."
The latter, often fuelled by pure curiosity, means that many articles about Rob and Kristen's love lives will always generate a decent level of buzz, which means they continue to be written despite Twilight coming to an end. In the absence of vampires, people continue to crave a good love story, and Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart continue to provide that, whether they want to or not.

Fallout: New Vegas - Best RPG at Golden Joystick Awards
View Single Post
October 24th, 2011, 04:45
I actually liked the political focus of the second game; the political nature of the story is a refreshing break from usual fantasy tropes, and I enjoy moral quandaries that aren't black and white (also a staple of TW1). I liked TW2's story for reasons that are similar to why I enjoy Game of Thrones: Political intrigue creates a much more believable setting for me than typical "save the day" heroic fantasies or "grand adventures," and I am very glad that a game focused on these elements instead of the usual cliches that are so commonplace throughout RPGs. Dragon Age: Origins, while guilty of being about "saving the world" on the surface, also did a great job of incorporating political dynamics into the story to make it feel much deeper than the darkspawn invasion would have otherwise been (I guess being a "history geek" is partly responsible for my love of "realistic" fantasy settings that feature political struggles; the feudal era of Europe had fascinating plots, power struggles, and traditions that seem terribly under-represented in the fantasy realm based off this time period, and The Witcher franchise helps fill this void).
The Witcher 1 was a
experience for me, but certain parts of the story just seemed to drag on and feel a bit stale, which caused me to lose my connection with the story a bit in the process - but perhaps that is due to the fact that I couldn't stand the Alvin storyline (mainly the character) and absolutely hated dealing with almost any quest related to him. I think the first game's story would have benefited from more political intrigue instead of the path that was ultimately taken, which felt far more like standard fantasy, albeit pulled off extremely well with great choice and consequence implementation and very interesting characters/world lore.

Sorry, political junkies. Ashley Judd will not be trying to make CSPAN-2 more watchable anytime soon.
Judd took to Twitter on Wednesday to announce that she wouldn't be running for the U.S. Senate in Kentucky next year, meaning that she'll come no closer to official Washington than her current role as the first lady in "Olympus Has Fallen." Not yet, at least.
The actress and University of Kentucky graduate had flirted with running against Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, but ultimately decided not to join the race. Her tweets cited the boilerplate need to focus her time and energy on her family, and maybe that's the whole story. More likely, Judd used her Phi Beta Kappa brain to calculate that the chances of unseating McConnell were too slim to justify all the fund raising she'd have to do and the criticism she'd have to endure.
I don't have anything against Judd personally, and if I were a "Star Trek: The Next Generation" fan, maybe I'd actually be a fan. Nevertheless, her near-candidacy reflects much of what's wrong with politics today.

|4. K2 Family Bouncing Flow (12" - Relentless)
|Yet another track thats been making a splash overseas this summer but this time its not the overactive island of Ibiza thats been providing the airspace but instead the more recent addition to the holiday schedule, Ayia Napa.
K2 Family are another rap collective who like talking about jumping, shouting, pumping and anything else that rhymes for that matter. Its a ravaging up-tempo energy booster. And garage fans everywhere will be shaking their booties in a more than saucy manner when this one reaches their lugholes.
So, in the style of the well-rhymed but badly-worded crew - its sleazy, cheesy and will certainly pleasy! if you like that kind-a-ting. Catch ma drift.
