Take-out Thief: Gets Plain Dough to Go

Calif. pizza parlor burglar gets away with dough: the night crew interrupted his caper, "forcing the would-be baker to forgo his predawn snack and flee hastily with only the restaurant's safe."
oOo Now that's what I call a bite out of crime! That's one delivery heavy on the metal but light on the toppings.

Maybe his plan oOo was to make a "stuffed crust" with the wad of cash-- clever disguise, then the papers would have really eaten this one up! oOo oOo

New Orleans Cafe Du Monde and its beignets are back

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 19 — Beignets are Back! Yeaah! All you DoughNut lovers Unite. Dunkins and Krispys and all yer other faves all look up to the Nah-Lens tradition here... oOo

Avian Bird Flu Threat? I Say Be Prepared

Health News Article | Reuters.com [ 10-17-05 ] I'm not an Alarmist, but the World Media is following this pretty closely now, so we may really need to be prepared.

I say why wait for some Drug to be developed, which may or may not become virus-resistant. Use the natural sources that we have now-- definitely look into Mangosteen juice with it's high Anti-oxidant and especially Xanthone content.

What are Xanthones? I didn't know either until I did investigative research into the microbiology and Mangosteen fruit juice. Check into it here.

Miers Nomination: Big Right-wing Crock Waste of Time

This whole FLAP over the Miers Supreme Court nomination is disgusting. I say let her be a lightning-rod for revealing the true colors of the Ideologues in Congress and the DC arena... oOo oOo

I'm a Dem who watches the performance of what people Really DO, not what they hype. I applaud Pres. Bush for this nomination, for although he may not always make good decisions, he shows that he will not Cow-Tow to some of these rabid narrow-minded politicos.

Like this statement: from Sen. [Kansas] Sam Brownback, who will meet with Miers on Thursday. "Not much track record, people vouching for her, yet indications of a different thought pattern earlier in life." oOo oOo

Whoa, now That's a Problem!! oOo oOo
Shame on anyone for thinking differently sometime in their life!! oOo oOo

No matter which side of the aisle- Trent Lott, William Kristol, as well as Ted Kennedy, Howard Dean, et. al and pundits like George Will show what they really are-- not so caring about Truth, Justice and the American Way as they are about propagating pet political agendas and putrid fallacious Ideologies (of any stripe!).

And these Bloggers, they're no better [ cited by Orin Kerr, October 3, 2005 at 12:28pm "Reactions from the Conservative Blogosphere: A few excerpts" ] . . . give me a break!

Get lost Creeps! The whole lot of you needs to run off the mountain into the lake. oOo oOo

How the brain sorts babble into auditory streams

Here's an interesting take on sound and hearing-- might have application into Music and our stimulation-overload of Noise in Pop/HeavyRock/RapCrap these days. oOo oOo

[From Science Blog, Oct. 06, 05 ] Known as "the cocktail party problem," the ability of the brain's auditory processing centers to sort a babble of different sounds, like cocktail party chatter, into identifiable individual voices has long been a mystery. Now, researchers analyzing how both humans and monkeys oOo oOo perceive sequences of tones have created a model that can predict the central features of this process, offering a new approach to studying its mechanisms. oOo oOo
