Two Brothers, Plano, TX
8308 Preston Rd
Plano, TX 75024
United States of America
Phone: 972-712-8308
Price for meal: $14
Date of review: Apr 4th, 2011
Submitted by Doc
I was visiting an area in Plano, TX and was looking for a burger place. I ran across this restaurant and decided to try their burgers.
Their burger menu was not super impressive, but I ended up deciding on a mushroom swiss burger with homemade potato chips.
The service was fast and the burger was out in less than 10 minutes.
The burger looked very greasy and sure enough; it was greasy. The bun was almost soaked so much that it had a tough time holding the burger together. The burger tasted alright. The meat was very warm but cooked well done. I personally thought the burger was too greasy and tasted mostly of mushrooms and very little cheese. The chips were also alright, but I think the store bought chips are better.
I also tried their chips and queso and it was a disaster.
I will rate the burger as an average burger that barely makes the cut. They are also too expensive. Paying $9 for a burger plus tips and tax is just too much for this quality. I will not be back any time soon.
How to reach this restaurant?

Jason was selected to the pro bowl, in spite of an up and down year. And we here at Dave's are proud of him making it.
And I'd like to thank JT for this personalized message, which I received this evening:
Dear David,
I want to personally thank you for all your encouragement this past season. It's an honor to have been named today to the Pro Bowl and to once again represent the Miami Dolphins in Hawaii. This recognition wouldn't be possible without my teammates. Football is the ultimate team game, and anything I accomplished on the field was because of their play.
Thank you for your support all season, and I hope you will come out and cheer us on one last time this year when we host the Cincinnati Bengals on December 30th.
Happy Holidays!
Jason Taylor
So, how does he know I voted for him exactly? I mean, what if I voted for someone else, or didn't vote at all? Would he send me mail like "I don't know what your problem is..."?

Note; this is the first of a 2-part report about the traditional Pattaya Thai massage. I know people that rave about this one, but it is not enjoyed by everyone... I can vouch for that! You can see part 2 of the report via a link at the bottom of the page.
Prior to my first visit to Thailand, I only had very limited experience of professional massage. Before continuing I'll just point out that the traditional massage does not normally come with a happy ending massage... unless you ask for it to be so!
Once in Thailand, whether you are a regular massage customer or a
complete newbie, sooner or later you'll give it a go.... everyone does.
It's one of those things that sets Thai culture apart from Western
culture. Pattaya massage girls tend to be very skilled masseuses and you
should have one of the best massages of your life here. Unlike
other massage types, this particular Thai traditional massage is done without the
use of any oils or lubricants. The whole of your body will get massaged
including your head and feet.
Of all the various types of Pattaya Thai massage, the traditional massage is the one that requires the most skill. One session will take around 60-90 minutes to complete, and afterwards, depending on how it went, you may well feel completely relaxed. On the other hand, you might end up a nervous wreck, trembling at the memory of the horrors you just endured!
Before the massage begins, you will probably be given a thin robe to change into. If not, you'll be asked to strip naked; the masseuse will usually drape something over you when the massage starts. You may, or may not, be offered a happy ending massage towards the end of your treatment. The traditional massage is not a typical prelude to such things, but then again, this is Pattaya.....
An experience to remember!
I still like to reflect on one particular Pattaya Thai massage that nearly left me a broken man! The masseuse was young, about 22 or so, and very attractive. She was a little short, even for a Thai girl, being no more than about 5ft tall. For a guess, I'd say that she weighed in at no more than about 100lbs. Her hair was long, hanging down to her lower back, it was straight and jet black in colour. I remember she had big beautiful eyes, and a very sexy smile.
Although I didn't notice at the time, I can only assume that despite her petite frame, she must have had hands like George Foreman! The pressure that she managed to generate with those hands was breathtaking.... literally! She had asked me, prior to the massage starting, whether or not I'd prefer a soft or hard massage. Not wanting to look like a complete girl, I opted for the hard massage, thinking I'd be safe enough because a small girl like her wouldn't really have the strength to deliver it.
TOP-TIP 1: if you are unfamiliar with Pattaya Thai massage, go for the soft option!
My new friend began the massage, starting with my lower legs. If you can imagine a road worker going to work on your calf muscles with a jackhammer, you are somewhere close to the nightmare she was giving me. She stopped after a few minutes to ask if it was too hard or not. To this day I cannot understand why I just smiled and said I'm fine. I think it might have been because she was just too young and pretty, and so small, that I just couldn't admit to her that she was inflicting serious pain. "I'm fine", that's what I said to her, and that's when she really ripped into me!
If you are going to Pattaya some time soon, have a look at the hotel options below:
In part 2 of the report I'll give you another top tip, as well as some general advice about the traditional massage.

1DX + 1.4 TC focusing speed vs. 7D + same lens without TC
I'm wondering if anyone has done a comparison of focusing speeds between a 1DX and 7D when the 1DX combo includes a 1.4 TC and the 7D doesn't. My reason for asking is that I'm a birder considering buying a used 1DX as upgrade for my 7D - and as almost all birders, I'm reach limited. To be very specific: Has anyone compared the focusing speed of a 1DX + 1.4 extender mk III + original 500 mm L IS to the focusing speed of a 7D and the same 500 mm ?

On A Scale of One to Green: How to Rate Your Home's Efficiency Level
From Tim Peterson on October 31, 2007 in Green Remodeling
Numerous rating systems, standards, and best practices exist through government programs to assess and regulate the amount of energy used on residential and commercial levels. These rating systems are designed to help ordinary homeowners like you and me understand and manage energy usage. Quite often, though, we forget that these programs exist and are out there to help us. To refresh our memories, this article will provide an overview of some of the primary energy ratings systems used in the U.S.
Check the Fine Print, Do You Purchase Energy Efficient Products?
To begin with, check the labels on your appliances. By law, most new appliance must carry Energy Guide labels that state their projected yearly energy use. Simply by comparing the information on these labels prior to purchasing, you may be able to save yourself a lot of money on the utility bill. Labels should show an Energy Efficiency Rating (EER) for air conditioners and Geothermal heating and cooling systems, a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating (SEER) comparing the product's efficiency levels with others, and an Energy Star label for products that meet strict energy conservation guidelines set by the U.S. Department of Energy.
Does Your Home Make the Grade?
With a Home Energy Rating (HER), you can rate your home's current energy efficiency level, or, if it is still in construction, its projected efficiency level. Ratings are given through an HER Index, where 100 represents standard energy use for a new home and 0 indicates no net purchased energy. Homeowners can use the information gleaned from HERs to upgrade efficiency levels in their home or to compare levels in homes being considering for purchase. HERs raters perform the inspections.
The HER Index is provided by the Residential Energy Services Network (RESNET), a non-profit organization designed to set standards of quality and increase occurrence of high energy performance in buildings. Certifications of "White Tags" and Energy Star labels are distributed as part of participatory programs.
Is Your Mortgage Energy Efficient?
"Energy Efficient Mortgages," also known as EEMs, enable borrowers to qualify for loans to purchase homes that demonstrate specific energy-efficiency improvements. Lenders can offer conventional Energy Efficient Mortgages (EEMs), FHA EEMs, or Veteran's Administration EEMs. Find out more through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) or the Residential Energy Services Network (RESNET).
Is Your Home Green?
If you wonder whether or not your home qualifies as "green," the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is a good place to check. LEED has a Green Building Rating System™, a nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction, and operation of high performance green buildings. If you're looking for advice or resources prior to construction, LEED also gives building owners the tools needed to measurably impact building performance. It does this by promoting sustainability through five key areas: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection, and indoor environmental quality.
On A Grander Scale
The Department of Energy (DOE) promotes stronger building energy codes and helps states adopt, implement, and enforce these codes. DOE's Building Energy Codes Program is based on the model of collaboration with agencies, jurisdictions, and industry, education for users, and ultimately, implementation, and enforcement.

"Sex can be a significant workout," Dr. Greenblatt says. "You can burn anywhere from 85 to 250 calories every time you have sex." Not only do you burn calories, but you work different muscle groups, depending on how many different positions you try.
"People who have sex also tend to have higher levels of immunoglobulin A, which improves your immune function," Dr. Greenblatt says.
Sex helps protect your heart.
Research suggests that people who have frequent sex have a 50 percent less chance of cardiovascular mortality, compared to people who don't have sex as often. Not only that, but according to Dr. Greenblatt, it can boost your body's production of Vitamin D, and estrogen, which helps you to maintain shiny hair and skin.
Sex can relieve pain.
Immediately before you have an orgasm, levels of oxytocin are five times higher than normal, Dr. Greenblatt says, and that can relieve pain, from back pain to arthritis, and even menstrual cramps.
Admittedly, many researchers are quick to stress that sex and health is like the old "chicken and egg" adage—that is they're not sure which came first. It could be that people who live healthier lifestyles tend to be more interested in sex than those who are not as healthy.
Another important health tip: Don't forget that it's still vital to practice safe sex at all times.

The weather is just not cooperating with our desire to welcome spring with open arms, so instead of frolicking outside in cotton dresses, we're creating a bright spring vibe in our warm, cozy homes by eating fresh salads off of the cheery Verdant Acres Dinnerware ($10 - $16). We've even turned up the heat a little so we can take off our sweaters while we daydream about sunshine and floral skirts.

Did you know that this week, May 4-12, 2014, is National Wildflower Week? This includes San Diego even though the dry weather has resulted in few wildflowers this year. Usually, one will see wildflowers, both native and non-native, all over San Diego this time of year, usually along roadsides and trails, even if they aren't irrigated. This year, it seems that the only flowers that are being seen are in gardens.
While there are no known specific events happening in San Diego this week, here are a few suggestions on how to enjoy National Wildflower Week. You can get to know San Diego's native flowers and how to identify them. Then, go on a hike (it doesn't need to be a long hike far away) with a plant field guide and see if you can identify them. You can take photos of these flowers to show other people that San Diego isn't always brown. A field guide to insects is a good thing to have to identify the many species of insects that depend on these flowers.
The Anza-Borrego Desert State Park still says they have wildflowers around the area, though they won't last long. The desert is traditionally a hot spot for wildflowers with several different native species blooming at the same time. In Mission Bay several native flowers such as Nuttall's lotus, sand verbena and primrose. They may also be seen in other areas around Mission Bay and Ocean Beach, usually around the San Diego River mouth.
No matter how you celebrate this week, keep in mind on how fragile the ecosystem is in San Diego. Wildflowers only last a short time in this area. Please don't pick wildflowers, but leave them for others to enjoy and for native wildlife to use. Some wildflowers are critically endangered and some areas require a permit for any type of collecting.

Macaulay Culkin decided to grant us a happy Monday and be this week's most talked about selfie on Twitter Sunday when he used his cover band, The Pizza Underground's feed to send out a shot of himself wearing a priceless t-shirt. The shirt is a picture of Ryan Gosling wearing a t-shirt of Macaulay Culkin; today the minds of everyone everywhere are officially blown.
Originally the photo of Ryan Gosling sporting a young Macaulay Culkin t-shirt was tweeted by @KristoferSamie in May of 2013. One great photo deserves another and it was totally worth the wait. The explosion across social media this morning has garnered more exposure for the band and reminds us Culkin still has the power over us.
Culkin has moved passed news of his breakup with Mila Kunis after an eight year relationship and his alleged drug abuse over the past few years and proven he is much more than that kid from "Home Alone" with his involvement with an art collective and most recently his work with The Pizza Underground. His contributions to the band include percussion, Kazoo and vocals according to their website.
The Pizza Underground rewrites lyrics from Velvet Underground songs changing them to honor instead pizza. With songs entitled "Papa John Says", I'm Beginning to Eat the Slice", "Take a Bite of the Wild Slice" and "Cheese Days" they seem destined for greatness with or without their most famous member. They recently played shows in Boston and locally in Pomona, Ca earlier in May and have been building buzz through social media due in part to the addition of Culkin.
You can hear and download a copy of The Pizza Underground's demo on their website for a name your price amount, follow along with their journey and check tour dates on Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr.
This whole thing makes everyone else's' lives seem so pointless.

The Mad Fox Brewing Company
Why?Because John isn't the only Madden worth knowing.
The Shops at Spectrum would be a total dude-mare if it weren't for the fact that, deep within the condo-and-retail operation, the Mad Fox Brewing Company provides a sudsy oasis in this bloodless, shop-where-you-live desert. The latest project from Bill Madden, the former Capital City brewmaster whose work has won plenty of bling at the Great American Beer Festival, Mad Fox not only offers its own house-made drafts and casks, but also serve some good ciders, and even mead. Throw in a food menu focused on locally sourced ingredients, and you have a place that might not blot out the suburban nightmare outside, but will at least help make it pleasantly blurry.

If you are like most people, then you share my sentiment that it's a pretty good idea, at least in public, to wear pants around your waist, not around your thighs.
So imagine my delight earlier this month upon entering Enchanted Castle, the family entertainment center at 1103 S. Main St. in Lombard. There my family was celebrating our twin children's 11th birthday. As we headed inside, a sign by the main entrance issued a proclamation that would have seemed needlessly off-the-wall not many years ago:
"Sagging pants not allowed on these premises," it declared. "Please pull your pants up to your waist before entering."
The words are underscored by a graphic depicting sagging (or "saggy") pants, with the universal "don't do this" slash through it. Was the illustration included just in case those desperately lost souls for whom the directive was created had trouble making heads or tails of its meaning?
The encounter with the Only-in-the-21st-Century sign, in addition to warming my traditional pants-wearing heart, spurs on an array of questions, including these three:
*How thoroughly ecstatic do you suppose the graphic artist must have been to have gotten this assignment?
*How serious was the saggy pants problem at Enchanted Castle for management to have taken the step of contracting for the sign?
*What will be the next generation's signature Mind-Numbing Ridiculous Fashion Statement--you know, the fad that prompts even this generation's saggy-pants devotees to shake their head and pine for the good ol' days of half-decent taste?
All mockery aside, when fastening on our public relations and marketing hat, it's beside the point whether we find saggy pants distasteful, puzzling, amusing or stylish. Vegetarians can own a McDonald's restaurant, right?
Personal preferences can get in the way of profit potential. There is ample talk about the importance of being "fulfilled" in your job or career. On that topic, Amway Founders Crown Brad Duncan, a World Wide Group (WWDB) leader, entertains large audiences at events like Free Enterprise Days conferences with a retort of "fulfill this!"--punctuated by his blowing a raspberry.
Duncan follows up with this insight: the purpose of business is not to achieve some kind of warm 'n' fuzzy feeling, but to make a profit with integrity.
So turning back to the saggy paints saga, instead of getting caught up in our own individual inclinations, our focus should turn to their public relations and marketing potential.
For example, here are a few categories where you could parlay saggy pants into rising media coverage:
Clothing manufacturers and retailers: build on the saggy pants storyline by developing a PR campaign that notes other memorable (or utterly regrettable) fashion twists and turns over time. Tie in your product lines with those milestone moments.
Companies seeking to appeal to the youth culture: touch on the saggy pants phenomenon in demonstrating the extent to which this is a specialized audience. From there, you are well positioned to communicate the nuances of connecting with this segment of the population and how it requires a different approach than older age groups.
So embrace the potential PR good that can come even from those things that you might view, personally, with disdain. Otherwise, you run the risk of having the competition catch you flat-footed—or worse yet, with your pants down.

Comments about Arnold Grummer's Cotton Linters:
I needed this product in 3 days for an art project in a school. I was a little skeptical about whether I would get it in time or not but it did come right on time. I was so pleased with the quickness and the service! I was able to cut the linter, mix it with water and yellow food coloring, and flower seeds to make the middle of a paper flower for Mother's Day. Worked great!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Thank you for visiting Track My Shows. This site is designed for you the TV enthusiast. I love TV, and watch more then my share of it, and I currently follow more then 50 shows (My TiVo has more like 100 in its list to record). I realized it is imposable to keep track of which shows I have watched and which I have missed. I created this site to help me and others like me keep track of their shows.
To use the site is easy. You need to register to create a user account (used to track your shows) this account allows you to also leave messages in our forums. Once you have registered and logged in you can start keeping track of the shows you have watched. Some shows you may have watched every episode and just want to mark them all completed. You can easily do that. Other shows you will want to mark one at a time as you watch them. Using the Find Episode menu option you can find the show by its episode title, or you can search for the show by name and find the show by season.
Ok what do we do if the show I watch is not currently in the database? Do not fear you can search using the show search option for almost any show that has ever existed and chose the add show to database option and we will automatically download that show and all of its episodes into our database for you. We also have listed on the right of the page all shows that are scheduled with new episodes today and using the calendar you can find any show that has currently scheduled episodes so that you can keep up with your favorite show.
Recent Changes: I have recently added Recomended Shows bassed on other users follow prefrences that are simular to your own. In adding this feature I realised that it would be helpful to rate episodes watched and eventuly use that data to help recomend shows. To make that posible I have added a rating system as you watch shows you mark them watched by selecting from 1 to 5 star's for the episode that you are watching. the score on shows will help determin a overall ratting for the shows. Please note that if you mark every show a 5 or for that matter a 1 the rattings will not be helpfull. If you have any suggestions please email me at rhealey101 (at) gmail (dot) com any and all comments are appriciated.

Inkjet Print Cartridges for HP DesignJet 8000s
Unfortunately, we are not able to offer cartridges for the HP DesignJet 8000s printer any longer. We strive to keep ink and toner for all active printer models in stock, so when a cartridge is discontinued from our supply, it usually means that the printer is no longer in production.

To find cartridges with more ease and to lower your printing cost, it may be beneficial to start shopping for a new printer. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
Find remanufactured replacement inkjet cartridges for your HP DesignJet 8000s. Our inkjet cartridges are designed exclusively for the HP DesignJet 8000s printer. These high-quality cartridges, rebuilt with at least 60% new parts, are specially constructed to deliver exceptional results, with performance comparable to original HP ink cartridges.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The No. 24 Mercer baseball team scored four two-out runs on its way to an impressive 4-2 win over No. 4 Florida on Tuesday evening in front of 2,722 fans at Alfred A. McKethan Stadium.
Mercer (35-11) is now 8-1 in its last nine contests against ranked foes and secured its first win over a top-five team since downing No. 2 Miami 8-5 on February 3, 2007.
The Bears are also a perfect 6-0 against ratings percentage index (RPI) top-50 clubs in 2014 which includes tonight's win over Florida (No. 2), a pair of wins over Georgia Tech (No. 31) and three wins over High Point (No. 50).
After both teams failed to score or even register a hit over the first three innings of play, Mercer jumped on the board in the top of the fourth. Following a lead-off single by senior Sasha LaGarde and a walk by junior Chesny Young, freshman Charlie Madden came through with a two-out RBI single up the middle to give the Bears a 1-0 lead.
Mercer benefitted from more clutch hitting in the top of the fifth as LaGarde lifted a two-out RBI single to center field to plate junior Devin Bonin and make the score 2-0 Bears.
Florida seemed poised with an answer in the bottom half of the fifth as it had runners on 2nd and 3rd base with just one out, but junior Grant Papelian used a line-out and a strikeout to end the rally and keep Mercer in front 2-0.
The Gators eventually jumped on the board by manufacturing a run in the bottom of the sixth. A lead-off single, a stolen base and an RBI groundout by Taylor Gushue made the score 2-1 Mercer.
Mercer resorted to what it had been doing well all night long for the knockout punch in the top of the seventh inning. A lead-off walk to freshman Danny Edgeworth was followed up by a two-out two-run home run by senior Michael Massi to push the Bears out to a 4-1 advantage.
With the score now 4-2, the Gators once again had a threat brewing with runners on second and third base with just one out, but junior Dimitri Kourtis wiggled out of the jam by inducing a pop-out and a fly-out to close out the Bears win for his third save of the season.
Senior Brandon Barker started the contest for Mercer and threw three scoreless pre-determined innings to earn the win, the 20th victory of his career.
LaGarde, Bonin and Madden all had multi-hit performances to pace the Bears line-up while senior Derrick Workman went 1-for-4 with a single to tie the Mercer all-time hits record with 264 career base knocks.
Mercer is back in action on May 9 when it returns to Atlantic Sun Conference play with a three-game weekend series against Stetson.

The youngest ever Mensa member from Az. is only a 3-year-old, and doctors who tested her said she did so well on her intelligence tests they couldn't even calculate her IQ score exactly.
According to ABC News on Monday, young Alexis Martin has an IQ above 160, and has just become the youngest person in Arizona to be accepted into Mensa – a prestigious "genius" club of sorts that only accepts members whose IQ scores are in the top two percentiles worldwide.
An intelligence quotient, or IQ test for short, is a score derived from standardized tests designed to assess intelligence. A median IQ score is 100, and deviations will bring that score up or down depending on the aptitude of each individual.
Approximately 95 percent of the population scores an IQ between 70 and 130. Martin scored a 160 – the highest possible score, though her actual score may be "off the charts," doctors said.
Who does the 3-year-old now share an IQ score with? The likes of Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking, and BIll Gates, to name a few.
Martin's parents have long thought their little girl was especially gifted.
"From 12 to 18 months old, we'd be driving around in the car and she would recite her bedtime story from the night before," her father Ian Martin said. "She didn't just recite them, she recited them exactly."
Alexis is reading at a 5th grade level and even taught herself Spanish on the family's iPad.
"Anytime she learns a word and just picks it up through anything, she never ever uses it in the incorrect context, ever," said Ian.
So, do you think you're Mensa material? Find out. From Mensa.org, here are ten common test questions used to qualify someone for Mensa.
1. Which number comes next in this series of numbers? 2 3 5 7 11 13
Is it 14, 15, 16, 17 or 18?
2. Only one other word can be made from all the letters of INSATIABLE. Can you find it?
3. Four years ago, Jane was twice as old as Sam. Four years on from now, Sam will be 3/4 of Jane's age. How old is Jane now?
4. Continue the following number series with the group of numbers below. What two numbers best continues the series?
1 10 3 9 5 8 7 7 9 6 ? ?
Is it 11 and 5, 10 and 5, 10 and 4, or 11 and 6?
5. If you count from 1 to 100, how many 7's will you pass on the way?
6. Two men, starting at the same point, walk in opposite directions for 4 meters, turn left and walk another 3 meters. What is the distance between them?
7. If it were two hours later, it would be half as long until midnight as it would be if it were an hour later. What time is it now?
8. Which word of four letters can be added to the front of the following words to create other English words?
9. What is the following word when it is unscrambled?
10. Pear is to apple as potato is to?
Banana, Radish, Strawberry, Peach or Lettuce
Here are the answers:
1. 17 (They are all prime numbers)
2. Banalities
3. Jane is 12. 4 years ago Jane was 8, Sam was 4. In 4 years from now, Jane will be 16 and Sam will be 12.
4. 11 and 5. Alternating numbers go up by 2, and down by 1.
5. If you found 10, you forgot about 70, 71, etc. If you got 11, you forgot about the 70 series, but remembered 77 had 2; if you got 19, you forgot about the extra 7 in 77. The answer is 20.
6. 10 meters
7. It is 9:00 p.m., two hours later would make it 11:00 p.m. with one hour to midnight and one hour later would make it 10:00 p.m. with two hours to midnight.
8. The word "post"
9. Parachute
10. Radish (They both grow underground)
So how did you do? Leave your comments (and score if you're brave) below. If your Mensa material, you really would have needed to get them all correct, and have done so within ten minutes.

Just when you think he has gone gently into that good night, Steve "Zetro" Souza and his razor sharp, disgust laden voice pierces your ears in the most intrusive of ways. Is he back with Exodus? Ummm no !! Oh it must be new Dublin Death Patrol right ? Nope not DDP! Behold the arrival of Hatriot and their offering of Dawn of the New Centurion. Zetro has stood the test of time , and helped pioneer thrash metal to the masses in his early days in The Bay Area scene. He has grown and evolved throughout the years and always adapted his style with a modern approach. This time he has reinvented himself with Hatriot. The band is infused with young blood that are hungry and ready to beat your ass!
Dawn of the New Centurion is without a doubt thrash record, but more than a thrash record. It has a heaviness that is intertwined throughout that I can not remember being associated with pure thrash metal. Don't get me wrong, there are still blazing , lightning fast leads all over the record , thrown down by up and coming shred master Kosta V. There is melody throughout the entire offering, and masterful playing by the entire band. The band takes a no holds barred, take no prisoners, aggressive approach that comes to light as the album progresses.The drums crush you like an out of control tank hellbent on destroying everything in its path. A precise, deliberate, and crushing pace is set from the beginning of the record on the opening track "My Cold Dead Hands", and continues through album closer "Consolation For The Insane".
Overall, I give this album a 10 out of 10, and although it is very early in the year, Dawn of the New Centurion will be in contention for album of the year in 2014.The Bay Area sound is still here. It is old school principles and ideology, fused with modern aggression, production, and themes. What can you say about Zetro that hasn't been said already. The man is a beast and gets better with each piece of recorded evidence. If Dawn of the New Centurion was a mission statement, the statement of Hatriot would be be quite clear.....Devistation
Track List:
1- From My Cold Dead Hands
2- Your Worst Enemy
3- The Fear Within
4- Honor The Rise And Fall
5- Superkillafragsadisticactsaresoatrocious
6- Silence In The House Of The Lord

According to the Canadian Press on Monday, Calgary native Tesho Akindele was named the Major League Soccer player of the week for week 23 of the season. Akindele recorded a hat trick on Saturday as FC Dallas defeated the San Jose Earthquakes 5-0.
Akindele now has six goals in his last six games. Akindele also scored in a 2-1 win over the Philadelphia Union on July 4, in a 2-0 win over the New England Revolution on July 19 and in a 1-0 win over Chivas USA on August 3.
Akindele, who at 22 years of age is playing in his first year of Major League Soccer, has been very accurate. In his 24 shots on target this season, Akindele has seven goals overall.
FC Dallas is currently in third place in the Western Conference. They have 39 points overall--three points back of Real Salt Lake or first place in the conference and eight points up on the Portland Timbers for a playoff spot.
Akindele is now tied for second in goals on FC Dallas this season. Brazilian defender Michel also has seven goals, while Colombian forward Fabian Castillo leads FC Dallas with eight goals.
A forward who wears number 13, Akindele is the only Canadian on the entire FC Dallas roster. FC Dallas next plays Real Salt Lake on Friday.
In other MLS news, there is a strong possibility that two Canadian teams could make the MLS playoffs in the same season for the very first time. Toronto FC and the Vancouver Whitecaps are currently in playoff spots. Toronto FC, which is in third place in the Eastern Conference, have missed the playoffs in their first seven seasons in the league. The Whitecaps meanwhile currently sit in fifth place in the Western Conference, two points up on the Portland Timbers. The Whitecaps made the 2012 MLS playoffs, but lost 2-1 to the Los Angeles Galaxy in the knockout round.

If you have recently been diagnosed with a heart attack, stable angina or severe coronary artery disease (CAD), you may be facing open heart surgery for surgical revascularization (aka bypass surgery or CABG). In some cases, patients are rushed immediately from the cardiac catheterization lab directly to the operating room. For the majority of patients, it is better and safer to schedule surgery on an elective (non-urgent) basis.
Elective surgery is better than emergent surgery
While this delay from diagnosis to surgical treatment can be anxiety-producing for patients and their families, it is also an excellent opportunity to prepare for surgery and 'life after bypass surgery'. There are volumes of information about coronary artery disease, cardiac surgery and post-operative recovery available for patients from well-respected sources such as the American Heart Association and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
General facts about Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery (CABG)
- In the United States, almost 400,000 bypass surgeries are performed every year (CDC statistics, 2013).
- Despite an increasing number of patients with serious co-morbidities such as diabetes and renal failure, post-operative mortality (death after surgery) has decreased over the last 20 years to 2.5 - 3.3% overall (Society of Thoracic Surgeons Cardiac Database, 2014).
- According to multiple studies including the SYNTAX trial, for the majority of patients with multi-vessel or left main disease, surgery is the safer and more durable option when compared to stents, angioplasty or medications alone.
- Many patients are discharged home 3 to 5 days after bypass surgery.
Preparing for the office consultation
- Bring a family member with you to ask questions and take notes.
- If you do not receive a written set of pre-operative instructions, ask for one.
- Bring a list of questions. Having surgery can be stressful and without a list, many people forget to ask important questions during their surgical consultation.
- Most cardiac surgery programs have a patient education department. This 'mini-college' will provide patients with a large quantity of information in the days immediately after surgery along with videos, books and other materials on coronary artery disease, cardiac rehabilitation, heart healthy cooking, resuming sexual activity after surgery, and post-operative medications. The sheer amount of information can sometimes be overwhelming for patients. The cardiac surgery process can also make patients a bit forgetful in the first few days and weeks after surgery so it is better to plan to have at least one family member or friend present for these educational sessions.
- Bring a bag containing all of your current medications including herbal medications, over-the-counter drugs and vitamin supplements. If there are any medications that you are currently prescribed but are not taking (for any reason) be sure to discuss this with your surgeon as well, so these medications are not restarted by accident.
- Be sure to inform your doctor of any anti-coagulants and blood thinners you may be taking such as prasugrel (Effient), clopidogrel (Plavix), warfarin (Coumadin), ticagrelor (Brilinta), pentoxifylline (Trental) or cilostazol (Pletal). These medications can cause serious and even life-threatening bleeding so most surgeons will want you to discontinue these medications 5 to 7 days before surgery. However, it depends on the reason these medications have been prescribed and the severity of your coronary artery disease. The majority of surgeons will want you to continue your aspirin.
-Ask about your blood pressure medications and other cardiac medications. Many surgeons will want you to continue beta-blockers such as carvedilol (Coreg), metoprolol or atenolol before surgery to prevent post-operative arrhythmias. Your surgeon may want you to stop taking ace-inhibitors such as lisinopril, fosinopril or enalapril prior to surgery to prevent low blood pressure during anesthesia induction.
- Most surgeons will also want you to continue your statin medications before surgery. Several studies have shown these medications may prevent intra-operative complications such as stroke, and reduce post-operative inflammation.
- If you have diabetes, ask your doctor for specific instructions regarding your oral medications and insulins. Many of the newer diabetes medications may pose risk of increased cardiac complications or cause hypoglycemia during surgery. Other medications like metformin can cause other problems after surgery.
Most doctors manage hyperglycemia during surgery and after surgery with intravenous (regular) insulin infusions, which are easy to titrate to the patient's fluctuating blood sugar. Patients are then transitioned to subcutaneous injections and oral medications as needed.
Past medical history:
- Be sure to mention if you have ever had a previous stroke (CVA) or mini-stroke (TIA). Many patients who have CAD also have carotid artery disease which can increase the risk of having a stroke during surgery. The doctor may want to order a carotid duplex (ultrasound) to see if there is a large amount of plaque in the carotid arteries leading to the brain.
- Discuss all previous surgeries, blood transfusions or radiation treatments. Be sure to mention if you or any immediate blood relatives have had problems with anesthesia, or developed a bleeding disorder or blood clots.
- Review medication, food and seasonal allergy information with your physician.
Health care proxies and patient privacy issues
- Be sure to designate a health care proxy. (This is important for all patients entering the hospital, not just surgery patients.) This person can help make decisions about your care when you are unable to do so, like during the period when you are recovering from anesthesia and/ or are intubated and unable to speak. Your health care proxy may also serve as your family representative to share information with other family members and friends.
- Discuss how and who you want (or don't want) your medical information shared with during hospitalization. This includes post-operative visitation while you are in the intensive care unit. If you do not want your neighbors, friends, co-workers or church congregation to see you in the intensive care unit after surgery while you are unconscious, intubated, with a Foley catheter draining your bladder, now is the time to say so.
Work/ Finances/ Insurance
- Talk to your employer about medical leave and short-term disability paperwork. Your spouse or loved ones may want to apply for Family Medical Leave (FMLA), as well to stay with you in the immediate days after discharge from the hospital, and to take you to your doctor's appointment. Give copies of all paperwork to the secretaries or administrators at the doctor's office. They will be able to assist you in completing these forms.
- If you do not have insurance, or your coverage is poor, talk to the administrators and the hospital financial office about making payment arrangements or other financial matters. This will help alleviate stress prior to surgery.
- If you smoke, discuss smoking cessation with your surgeon.
- Review pre-operative activity restrictions with your surgeon. If you have frequent angina (chest pain), your surgeon may want you to refrain from vigorous activities before your surgery.
What if I have chest pain before surgery?
- Ask what to do if you experience increased episodes of chest pain (or chest pain equivalents) prior to surgery. Many surgeons will want you to come directly to the hospital. The doctors may want to start intravenous medications such as nitroglycerin or heparin to prevent additional heart damage as you prepare for surgery. Your surgery may be re-classified as "urgent" and scheduled sooner. This is important because sometimes patients have heart attacks at home waiting for surgery because they "didn't want to bother anyone since I was scheduled for surgery anyway."
While this is not an all-inclusive checklist for patients having heart surgery, it will help prepare you for bypass surgery and serve as a guide in discussing expectations with your surgeon and surgical team.

'Lee Daniels' The Butler' Cast on Creating Their Characters
The stars of Lee Daniels' new drama discuss the real and fictional inspirations for their roles and what the civil rights movement means to them. On his character Cecil Gaines, Forest Whitaker says, "There's a lot of depth that I tried to understand, decades upon decades, I had to go from my late twenties to my nineties and fill myself with all of the experiences of what went on during that time. So by the time I'm ninety something years old, you feel that I'm carrying the weight of all this time."

Texas to Same-Sex Couple: Keep Your Divorce Out of Our Courts
On its face, there's something strange about this notion: that a state that does not recognize same-sex marriage will not allow two women, married to one another in a different state, to get a divorce.
But that's the position taken by the state of Texas, which argues that in order to grant a divorce, you've got to admit that a marriage exists in the first place. The state of Texas is not going to do that.
On Wednesday, a state lawyer argued before an appeals court on Wednesday that a District Judge Scott Jenkins violated state law when he granted a divorce earlier this year to a same-sex couple. Click here for the story, from the Austin American-Statesman.
James Blacklock, a lawyer in the attorney general's appellate division, said that Texas law forbids any action that recognizes or validates a same-sex marriage granted in another state, even if the point of the action is to dissolve such a marriage.
But Blacklock added that same-sex couples are allowed to legally dissolve their marriages through another route, one called "voidance," which divides property and is recognized nationwide. "This case is obviously about more than that," he said. "This case is about the desire of same-sex couples to have their marriages recognized as law."
Lawyers for the women, who were married in Massachusetts, urged the three-judge appellate panel to preserve the divorce, saying Abbott has no authority to intervene in a case that ended months ago.
"Discrimination against gays and lesbians is really the last area in which state government openly discriminates against its citizens," lawyer Jody Scheske told the court. "If the attorney general's office has its way, we also would deny legal access to divorce."
It's not the first time the issue has made its way to a Texas judge. The attorney general also intervened when a district judge in Dallas, hearing a divorce petition of two men who were married in Massachusetts, found the state's ban on gay marriage violated the U.S. Constitution's equal-protection guarantee.
The Dallas appeals court overturned the ruling in August, finding that gay couples cannot divorce in Texas. That decision is not binding on the Austin appeals court.

Labour has made five gains on Barnsley Council increasing its majority up to 23.
Labour made five gains, all at the expense of Barnsley Independent Group. It gives Labour 43 councillors and BIG 13. There are also six conservatives and one independent councillor of no political group.
Four sitting councillors, all of Barnsley Independent Group, lost their seats: Barry Lipscombe in Hoylnd Milton, Geoff Bowden in Kingstone, John Love in Old Town and Steve Sylvester in Rockingham.
The group's other loss was Darfield, where BIG member David Wainwright had stood down, and his successor as candidate Carmen Hancock-Jones was beaten by Labour's Brian Key, a former Euro MP.
Coun Linda Burgess, Labour, who retained Darton West, said she was 'delighted' that the BNP came last in her ward - she said Darton West had been that party's 'target ward' for several years.
"I'm thrilled about my own result, obviously, but it is a sign that the BNP is losing the support it had, and I do think that is good news for our society, and our communities."

Stylish celebrities have taken fashion to the next level by creating their own shoe collections in order to satisfy their fashion appetites…as well as ours. From Rachel Bilson to Halle Berry, they're putting their best foot forward. Let's take a peek at some of the hot celebrity shoe lines worth trying.
Fergie Footwear
Fergie's indulged her shoe cravings by creating her own under the Brown Shoe Company to create Fergie Footwear. From shoes to boots to sandals, this Grammy winner has put out some fun and affordable shoes for day to night looks, no matter the occasion. Try the Women's Olivia pump here. It's textured leather adds that little extra something to the snake-like pattern in addition to its luxe gold platform. It's available in other colors as well as this taupe shade, but this one is definitely the most chic.
$199.99 at Fergie Shoes
Jessica Simpson
We all know what an accomplished shoe maven Jessica Simpson has become with her successful company. Her shoes are always fun, edgy, and surprisingly comfortable. Lately, she's incorporated some geometric designs and color-blocking into her shoes, keeping abreast of the trends. Yet, you can usually spot a Jessica Simpson shoe as it seems to take on its own signature look. Right now, I'm head over heels for the "Andy" heel. Standing at almost 6 inches in height, this sculptural masterpiece is definitely on my "shoe to-do list".
$110.00 at Jessica Simpson Collection
Adrienne Maloof by Charles Jourdan Paris
Hot and sassy shoes that say luxury as well as spunk are definitely what this shoe line is all about. Debuting her shoes on Bravo's Housewives of Beverly Hills, we got a glimpse into her collection. Now let's take a deeper look. Ranging from the low $100's all the way up to $1,500, Maloof's shoes are available to all women on the hunt for a killer look. Take these Veronica Platforms in black with crystal embellishments and stiletto heel. Can we say hot?
$295.00 at Issay.
Halle Berry
If you thought acting was Halle Berry's ultimate dream, you were partially correct. Opening up her new sandal line actually takes the dream cake for her. The 5ths Avenue by Halle Berry collection for Deichmann shoes will feature 40 limited edition shoes ranging from peep toes with wedge heels, high-heeled strappy sandals, and high-heeled sling sandals on wedge heels. These shoes will be hitting stores in the UK in March, but we "Staters" will have to wait until spring/summer for our fill.

Karina Smirnoff for Bear Paw
Smirnoff has not only been using those feet for Dancing With The Stars, she's been putting those toes to design use as well. On board with Bear Paw, she's been pulling her weight in creating great boots. Take this Capulet boot for example. As quoted by BearPawStyle.com, "The Capulet is an eighteen-inch fully knitted boot detailed with flower rosettes, set in a diamond raised frame that can be pulled up for an over-the-knee look or slouched down for those who want to be a little more casual." Sounds perfect, doesn't it? It's also available in several colors as well.
$90.00 at Bear Paw Shoes.

Grant Hackett was seen getting off a plane at the Los Angeles Airport by the paparazzi and whisked away. According to ESPN on Tuesday, the Australian celebrity and Olympic swimmer left Australia to get out of the spotlight after some alleged bizarre behavior in his home country. And, where he went from there wasn't known. Well, at least until today.
According to several sources, the Olympic athlete is getting help at the Summit Center at Malibu. The property is on the Pacific coast and is known for helping celebrities and regular people alike. An expensive facility that gives exclusivity while helping people with personal issues. This particular facility doesn't give out patient information, but the rumors around Hollywood suggest that Hackett hasn't checked in to any other facilities that offer similar treatment.
The Australian press has been stalking Grant Hackett nonstop since an alleged meltdown Saturday morning at his Melbourne hotel. The athlete was photographed partially nude and looking disorientated. With recent divorce proceedings and alleged issues with Stilnox medication, the hope for fans is the athlete is getting much needed help in the USA while outsmarting the paparazzi.

The Masters tournament was down to a two-man show on the leaderboard on April 13. Although Matt Kuchar briefly made it a three-man show early, it was clear the Masters would come down to the final pairing of 2012 champion Bubba Watson and 20-year-old Jordan Spieth. But when the leaderboard cleared up for Watson at the end of the front nine, the back nine was a one-man show as his second green jacket was assured.
Watson ultimately took the Masters back by three shots over Spieth and Jonas Blixt, cruising to a final round 69 after early difficulties. Beforehand, it looked every bit like Spieth's time, as four early birdies put him ahead by two shots going into the eighth.
In a Masters tournament without Tiger Woods, having Spieth around to break Woods' record for youngest champion seemed like perfect symmetry. But before Spieth could be proclaimed the next Woods, he finally showed his youth by bogeying the eighth and ninth holes. In contrast, Watson showed his experience by birding those holes, turning a two-shot deficit into a two-shot lead.
Spieth bogeyed the 12'th hole and pared the rest of the final holes, which wasn't nearly enough. Although Watson bogeyed the 10'th, a birdie on 13 and seven pars kept anyone from catching him. While he needed a playoff to win his first green jacket, the end of the front nine made the back nine a foregone conclusion.
The eighth and ninth holes, as well as five straight birdies from the 12'th to 16'th holes in the second round, decided the Masters for Watson this time. But despite how winning at Augusta has become easier for Watson, its winning everywhere else that has been a problem, as he only had one other victory since his 2012 green jacket -- and that came earlier this year.
A second post-Masters hangover won't prove Watson can succeed Woods and Phil Mickelson in the long term. Given what Spieth did until those eighth and ninth holes, he still positioned himself as the PGA's next big thing if all goes well.
To prove they aren't flukes, Watson and Spieth will look for big repeat performances at the U.S. Open in two months -- another major without Woods. The Masters had enough power at the leaderboard without him much of the way, but the Open may need some more thrills at the end.
