    If I were to cheat during a big time international tournament (and that's a BIG "if"), I'd probably try and find out ahead of time where the tournament is to be played. Then the night before, I would place mirrors strategically around the room so that when I was playing an opponent, I could look at the mirrors to see what pieces he/she were playing.

  2. My oldest just started in middle school this year (6th grade) and already had an incident last Friday at school. I have an inquiry out to a friend of a friend family law atty for his opinion but would also like Surly to weigh in.
    He was walking from his 7th period class which is upstairs and while walking down the stairs, a 7th grader pushed him from behind, sending him down about 10-12 stairs. Luckily he landed in such a way that he landed on his right side and fortunately didn't hit his head or anything else critical. We took him to the ER as he said his hip hurt pretty bad and his forearm was numb (he landed on his elbow) but xrays came out clean so walked away with just some bruising and soreness.
    When they pulled him into the nurses office, he initially thought he tripped but the school pulled security footage and saw where it was a very intentional push. They were able to identify who it was; a female 7th grader that has had no interactions with my son. From interviews, they believe it was just a case of this student wanted to push someone down the stairs and my son just happened to be there. I tend to believe this as all his classes and lunch are only with other 6th graders. He's also a very easy going kid so I know it wasn't a case of him popping off to someone in the hall or anything. 
    I had a call with the principal and security officer today and it was inferred that the student was suspended and also some comments were made that this isn't this students first incident at the school. We have the choice to press charges. We haven't been allowed to see the video but the principal and counselor have said it's very tough to watch. My opinion is leaning to pressing charges due to the severity of what happened. If it was just a push in the hallway or a shove into the lockers, I'd let it go. Pushing someone down stairs is some psycho shit. My ex is a little hesitant to do it out of concern of retaliation. My opinion is if we were to get to see the video, it wouldn't even be a second thought to press charges. No one gave a shit about Ray Rice until the video leaked.
    What say you Surl?

    At the beginning of this post I was ready to tell you to stop being a bitch and let your kid figure it out. By the end I was wondering why you hadn’t already set the girl’s house on fire and murdered her dog.

    La Barbecue manager and owner indicted on fraud charges

    The owner of an East Austin restaurant and her manager have been indicted and summoned to appear in Travis County District Court for their alleged role in a $350,000 workers’ compensation fraud scheme.
    Allison Clem, manager of la Barbecue, and her wife, LeAnn Mueller, who owns the food truck and restaurant are both ordered to appear in court September 28.
    Back in 2016, an employee of the restaurant suffered severe injuries while operating a piece of kitchen equipment, and Clem and Mueller found out about the injury that day. Four days later, Clem contacted Paychex Insurance to get workers’ compensation coverage, something the restaurant had been without since November 2014.
    According to a Fraud Unit investigation by the Texas Department of Insurance, Division of Workers’ Compensation (DWC), Clem did not disclose her employee’s injuries to the agent but asked that the new policy be backdated to July 1, 2016, three weeks before the employee was hurt. Mueller then submitted a signed application for coverage claiming the business had no prior losses and the policy was approved by Travelers Casualty Insurance Company of America.
    When Travelers received the claim for the employee’s injury, they approved the claim and paid the injured employee more than $350,000 in medical and indemnity benefits. The insurance company is also responsible for lifetime care of the injured employee.
    If found guilty in Travis County, Clem and Mueller, could be ordered to pay restitution plus double the amount Travelers has already paid in benefits to the injured worker.

    I don’t cook anything but slabs of bacon below 275. I’m usually over 300.

    A couple of months ago I may have been over-served at a neighbor’s house and promised to bring a brisket over for dinner the following night. My wife woke me up at about 10:15 the next morning and reminded me about the brisket. It was on by 11 and done at 4:30. The ribs and chicken were done at exactly 5:30. I sliced everything and we were over there at 6:00 sharp.

    Perfecto

    Did you forget how to speak English again?

    ¿Que?

  6. Here we are almost a year later. I started talking about road games the wife might be interested in going to this year. This got delivered today.

    The wife ordered this because she didn’t wanna hear me moaning and groaning when we head down to Austin here in the near future.

    Do they make an optional attachment that will let me hook it up to a 5gal water jug?
