I had heard about this new place called Caffe'Bene near the Crown Plaza Times Square hotel via NY Times. Since this is an area where I frequent, I was pretty excited. It is the first American cafe from a South Korean franchise, that has opened over 700 stores in 4 years.
These looked pretty nice. Most items are in bins and you help yourself. The place was really, really busy and with it's location, I can see why. I know breakfast at the Crowne Plaza is not cheap, so this is a great alternative.
These little mini tarts were adorable. I liked the fact that most items were in a small size. Just enough for breakfast with some fruit, coffee or a light snack.
Ahh pecan buns, what a beautiful thing. And again, these were mini size, so you really don't feel so guilty eating one.
Okay, so here is the nice set up. My lovely assistant for the day had to hold open the clear plastic so I could shoot the pastry. Gotta love assistants. They are too valuable!!
The blood orange doughnut to the left is highly regarded, but I prefer the dulce de leche to the right. I would think either one would be quite heavenly.
They do have some items behind a glass counter, the more fancy desserts. Their coffee beans are from the Metropolis Coffee Company, a well known Chicago roaster.
These looked quite lovely and fluffy. There did not seem to be too many items I would not try here.
I am not sure what this is, but I would be willing to try it. For my readers, of course.
Hoagies and really lovely salads as close up below. I like the idea of obtaining your food here, and go to Times Square where they have the tables and chairs. Relax, people watch and enjoy these tasty items from Caffe'Bene !!
I would highly suggest you pop in here if you are in the area and in need of some yummy food. I am told they are planning to open 50 more in New York, so some other locations would be greatly enjoyed. Their hours in Times Square are 530am to 2am.
Thanks for taking it for the team and sampling those breakfast munchies!
All I can say is WOW! What a delicious place! Everything looks so yummy. Those little coffee cakes really caught my eye!
YUM! It's time for me to go to bed but this food is making me hungry for breakfast!!
These look delicious. We have an Asian bakery here that has the best desserts.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and symptoms of psychosis, such as hallucinations, often occur together. In clinical terms, PTSD is described as consisting of four clusters of symptoms: re-experiencing symptoms, avoidance symptoms, negative changes in mood and brain function, and hyperarousal symptoms. However, some mental health professionals believe that the experience of psychotic symptoms should be considered as an addition to that list, given that they commonly occur among people with PTSD.
Psychotic symptoms can be divided into two groups: positive symptoms and negative symptoms. This doesn't mean that some psychotic symptoms are good and some are bad. Rather, positive symptoms refer to an experience, such as hallucinations, whereas negative symptoms refer to the lack of an experience.
Positive psychotic symptoms are characterized by the presence of unusual feelings, thoughts, or behaviors. This includes experiences such as hallucinations or delusions.
Hallucinations refer to sensations of something that isn't really there. An auditory hallucination is an experience of hearing voices that aren't there. A visual hallucination would involve seeing something that isn't real. Tactile hallucinations occur when you feel something that isn't there. Olfactory and gustatory hallucinations involve the experience of smelling or tasting something that isn't present.
Delusions are ideas that you believe are true despite the fact that they may be unlikely or odd. For example, you might believe that the CIA is spying on you or that aliens are controlling your behaviors or thoughts.
Disorganized behaviors are also very common with psychosis. You may, for example, make up words, speak in unintelligible ways, or stand in an odd pose.
Negative psychotic symptoms are characterized by the absence of experience. For example, if you have negative symptoms, you may not be emotionally expressive. You may have difficulty speaking, may not say anything for days on end (called alogia) or be unable to accomplish simple tasks or activities, such as getting dressed in the morning. You may appear very unmotivated and withdrawn. Mental health professionals often refer to this lack of emotional expression as a person having a "flat affect."
In a flashback, you may temporarily lose connection with your present situation, being transported back in time to a traumatic event in your memory. In a severe flashback, you may see, hear, or smell things that other people don't, consistent with a hallucination. Flashbacks often occur during periods of high stress and can be very frightening to the person experiencing them.
Dissociation is an experience in which you feel disconnected from your body. You may not have any memory of what's happening in your environment for a period of time. The experience is similar to a daydream, but unlike a normal daydream, it's very disruptive to your life.
The distinction between these conditions is sometimes difficult, as there can be considerable overlap between different symptoms and conditions.
Considering that schizophrenia is one of the most common psychiatric diagnoses, it's not surprising that some people may have both schizophrenia and PTSD. PTSD most commonly occurs after a traumatic experience, and it has been found that traumatic experiences are more common for those with schizophrenia than for the general population. A recent study, in addition, found that there is significant genetic overlap between schizophrenia and PTSD.
Treatment for both disorders is critical, yet some physicians are reluctant to use some of the normal approaches. For example, using exposure therapy for PTSD might not be the best choice when a person also has schizophrenia, since exposure therapy may worsen the symptoms of schizophrenia. That said, studies have found that well-thought-out treatment can reduce the symptoms of PTSD. For those who have this combination of conditions, it's important to find a mental health provider who is familiar with the treatment of both conditions.
Researchers at the University of Manitoba, Columbia University, and the University of Regina examined the data on 5,877 people from across the United States in order to determine the rates with which people with PTSD experience different psychotic symptoms. They found that among people with PTSD, the experience of positive psychotic symptoms was most common. Approximately 52 percent of people who reported having PTSD at some point in their lifetime also reported experiencing a positive psychotic symptom.
Not surprisingly, it appears that the more PTSD symptoms you're experiencing, the greater the likelihood that you will also experience positive psychotic symptoms.
Researchers have also looked at which traumatic events are most commonly related to the experience of psychotic symptoms. The events that put people most at risk include being involved in a natural disaster, seeing someone injured or killed, or experiencing shock as a result of a traumatic event that happened to a loved one.
The experience of psychotic symptoms may tell the story of just how severe a person's case of PTSD is and how well he or she is coping with the condition. It may also raise red flags about the likelihood of potentially dangerous behaviors.
It has been suggested that the experience of psychotic symptoms in those with PTSD may be connected to the experience of dissociation described above. Frequent dissociation may increase the risk for the development of psychotic symptoms.
Studies have shown that people with PTSD who experience psychotic symptoms, as compared to those with PTSD who do not, may be at greater risk for a number of problems, including suicidal thoughts, suicide attempts, and greater overall distress. It's important for everyone with PTSD and their loved ones to know the risk factors and warning signs of suicide.
If you or a loved one who had PTSD is experiencing psychotic symptoms, it's very important to seek out treatment. Positive psychotic symptoms can usually be effectively managed through medication. Addressing PTSD symptoms in treatment may also result in a reduction of psychotic symptoms.

Are You Experiencing Negative Psychotic Symptoms?


A man was reportedly arrested and could face jail time for keeping an 86-inch flat-screen TV that was delivered to his home by mistake after he ordered a smaller one from Amazon.
Nick Memmo, 35, said he originally bought and paid for a 74-inch flat screen TV, but when the 86-inch was delivered by a third-party shipping company he chose not to return the larger model.
The police found it mounted on to his wall, he told Boston 25 News.
"They surrounded the house and knocked on the door with flashlights coming through all the windows. They told me to come outside then handcuffed me," he told the outlet of his arrest on Monday night (local time).
"I looked into all the laws and said, 'You know, it's a scratch ticket. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose'," he told the local news outlet.
The shipping company, however, disagrees. They allegedly made numerous calls to Mr Memmo before they finally went to police.
The shipping company claims Mr Memmo signed for the incorrect delivery, which he disputes. He also said that he never informed them he was someone he is not.
According to Freetown Police Department, the delivery service told police two televisions had been delivered but one was delivered by mistake.
Mr Memmo is now facing jail time. He says if he knew he would be arrested he would have paid for the larger TV or returned it.
He was charged with theft of personal property by false pretence, and misleading a police officer.


"When you're up around threshold, or really, sort of, intense effort. You want the maximum amount of air you can basically get. And if that's through your mouth and your nose, that's going to be the absolute best. If you've ever ridden with a cold, you'll know what it's like to try and do an effort with your nose blocked. And, it's a horrible feeling. You feel like you're suffocating.


Are you tired of working from home? Sick of setting up in coffee shops? Then it's time to consider co-working.
Are you tired of working from home? Sick of setting up in coffee shops? Maybe you're over the rigidity of long-term office leases? Time to consider co-working.
This change could be the inspiration you need to improve your quality of life and increase business productivity. Franky Law from Accrue Workplaces suggest five reasons co-working could be for you.
Co-working gives you access to immediate networking opportunities, both professionally and personally. When you are co-working you will become part of a diverse community of professionals, from a variety of business sectors and walks of life. These communities are both encouraging and resourceful as members can trade services and support each other whenever possible.
Working from home can be restricting, lonely and quite frankly, boring. It is very easy for freelancers, consultants and entrepreneurs to suffer from loneliness, especially given the fact that it has become more and more common for people to work up to 12 hours days. By choosing to work in a co-working space, you will benefit from the interactions with the other members, social events and business events too.
Sometimes, just getting up in the morning and dressing for work is enough to get you in "work mode" and facilitate a productive day. Many people who do not work in an office can get complacent, allowing distractions to reduce their productivity. By being part of a working community, you assign a certain amount of accountability, giving you incentive to dress right, arrive early and work hard. This can only benefit your business.
The traditional working environment stipulates a set structure, with regards to the day's tasks and hours whereas co-working encourages flexibility. A flexible environment with various seating options, meeting rooms and facilities, plus 24/7 access. In addition, there are no long term leases, with simple monthly rolling contracts.
Co-working businesses actively encourage networking through a variety of community events. Business growth and quality of life are key to a successful community! This can increase marketing and revenue opportunities, as well as broadening your horizons through access to enriching material. You will have fast and easy access (mostly free) to interesting events and education opportunities ranging from lectures about entrepreneurship and startups, to yoga sessions and happy hours!

Sunday Reads: Nasty Big Pointy Teeth… Yeah, that is Something to Fear!

We write these morning posts the night before, and I am writing this one watching the Wisconsin v Michigan State…its a good game…at least no blow out! (Wow, the last few seconds of the game were something to see. Michigan pulled a Hail Mary and Wisconsin deflected the pass in the end zone right into the hands of a Michigan player who fought his way to a touchdown.)
There is a green menace attacking Lake Erie…it's toxic but not radioactive…and there is a gray monster on the prowl in Australia. More on this at the end, think of it as your morning terror tease.
I'm going to stick with the US for a bit, and then hit the world news.
Occupy is taking up residence in a new location. This time in a swank Connecticut neighborhood, specifically on the front lawn of GE CEO Jeff Immelt's house. Which I think is fabulous!
It seems that Occupy is getting threats from all sides. Susie Madrak had a post on her blog about Anonymous taking down a servers of a company that hosts an underground child pornography site. Looks like there is some trash talk going on, threats are being made and references to NYPD beating some Occupy ass…Suburban Guerrilla » Blog Archive » No good deed goes unpunished Give that link a click if you want to read the instant messages between Anonymous and the Lolita kiddie porn site.
When a foreign press outlet is praising a politician from the US, it makes you wonder why our own US media hasn't picked up on it. On Friday, the Guardian ran a story about Bernie Sanders. Bernie Sanders: America's No1 socialist makes his move into the mainstream
Bernie Sanders sits in his Senate office and reflects on another unexpected twist in his already unusual political life. As the only self-proclaimed socialist to sit in the US Congress, Sanders is long used to surviving in the political wilderness. But Sanders is now having to get used to a different environment altogether: the mainstream.
His constant slamming of Wall Street, his critiques of big business and the excesses of money in politics, as well as his call for a defence of American jobs, have become hot issues in US politics. The senator from Vermont is now a regular on American TV screens and rapidly becoming a fixture of US politics and a hero to many on the left.
The white-haired and irascible Sanders, 70, who is famed for his blunt outspokenness, almost became bashful at the thought that his exile from the mainstream appears to be ending.
It's about damn time too!
"It's, you know, nice to know that positions you have been advocating for years are now getting out to Main Street, and that millions of people are beginning to say: enough is enough," he told the Guardian.
Is this, at last, his political moment? "Yeah, it is," he said, and then he details why, in a typically long, passionate, Sanders-style explosion of stream-of-consciousness explanation.
"If you were to speak to any audience in America and you say: there's something wrong with our system when the crooks on Wall Street, through their recklessness and criminal behaviour, are able to cause a recession, which has resulted in so much suffering to people, and then they get bailed out by the American people and then three years later end up making more money than they ever have before: people go nuts!"
He pauses for breath to think about the situation. "The short answer to
your question is: 'Yes'," he says.
Give the rest of the article a read, Sanders has been doing interviews quite a lot lately, and he is making sense. Maybe people are starting to take notice.
Help my memory a bit, cause this next link seems like deja vu. Bachmann on the Spot In Iowa Michele Bachmann was talking to a group of people at a town hall and took a question from a woman who had no health insurance…and the answer sounds like something Ron Paul and Santorum and one of the other GOP bozo candidates has said recently.
"My son is 22 and he's on an expanded Medicaid program that's under Obamacare," the woman said to Bachmann. "You often talk about stopping Obamacare. I want to know what you're going to do . . . I can't afford $1,000 a month."
The woman shook her head and looked annoyed as the 55-year-old Minnesota congresswoman recalled her parents paying $5 when she visited the doctor as a child in Iowa. She blamed federal government intervention for raising prices, and contended that increasing competition among insurance companies and reining in medical malpractice costs will help make health insurance more affordable. She also suggested private charity as an option.
"We will always have people in this country through hardship, through no fault of their own, who won't be able to afford health care," Bachmann said. "That's just the way it is. But usually what we have are charitable organizations or hospitals, who have enough left over so that they can pick up the cost for the indigent who can't afford it. But what we have to do is be a profitable nation that's growing, so that we can pay for those people who can't afford it through no fault of their own. Once Obamacare is gone, this is what we have to do."
Oh yeah, private charity…these GOP asshats are so quick to suggest begging for help…just as fast as they are in denouncing poor people in need who are on government assistance.
Another example of this crap can be seen in the latest from Senator Jeff Sessions…Sen. Jeff Sessions Tries To Cut Food Stamp Funding
Senator Jeff Sessions is very, very, very worried about fraud, waste and abuse within the Federal food stamp program (SNAP). So worried he has introduced an amendment to cut funds to the program because he's certain there are just a bunch of poor deadbeats out there taking advantage of the Feds' largesse.
The press release from his office on Friday says it all:
Consider the food stamp program, now known as "SNAP"—the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. SNAP is the largest item in Agriculture Department's budget. Spending on food stamps has surged over the last decade. It's nearly doubled since President Obama took office. And in the appropriations bill before us this week, Senate Democrats propose another increase that would quadruple food stamp spending from what it was in 2001.
Eleven million more Americans are on food stamps now than when President Obama first took office. The size of the benefit has increased 31 percent since 2008. When the food stamp program was expanded nationally in the 1970s, food stamps were used by 2 percent of the population. At the beginning of the last decade, they were used by 6 percent of the population. Today that figure has risen to 13 percent—one in eight Americans. This seven-fold increase in food stamp usage demands honest examination.
It's time to look under the hood.
You can take a look at the rest of the press release at that link above…what an ass, I can't stand these people. They have absolutely no good will towards their fellow man…hmmm, I can hear Sessions now…jabbering about workhouses and decreases in the surplus population.
Alright, I'm doing it again…by that I mean writing about Alabama and the anti-immigration law. This time let's look at what ripple reaction this law is creating when it comes to white kids bullying Hispanic children. After Alabama law, Hispanic kids being bullied
Spanish-speaking parents say their children are facing more bullying and taunts at school since Alabama's tough crackdown on illegal immigration took effect last month. Many blame the name-calling on fallout from the law, which has been widely covered in the news, discussed in some classrooms and debated around dinner tables.
Justice Department officials are monitoring for bullying incidents linked to the law.
"We're hearing a number of reports about increases in bullying that we're studying," the head of the agency's civil rights division, Thomas Perez, said during a stop in Birmingham.
The article talks about a group of kids playing basketball.
It was just another schoolyard basketball game until a group of Hispanic seventh-graders defeated a group of boys from Alabama.
The reaction was immediate, according to the Mexican mother of one of the winners, and rooted in the state's new law on illegal immigration.
"They told them, `You shouldn't be winning. You should go back to Mexico,"' said the woman, who spoke through a translator last week and didn't want her name used. She and her son are in the country illegally.
As if these kids don't have enough to worry about. Now they have to deal with the additional hate this law is bringing towards the Hispanics in the state.
But hate is not a new problem in the deep south, as this next disturbing article from CNN shows us. Teen murder suspect carried 'backpack of hatred'
Editor's note: This story contains language that some readers may consider offensive. For more on this story, watch "Mississippi Still Burning?" on CNN Presents, Sunday, October 23, at 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. ET.
To get to Brandon, you have to drive across the Pearl River, a boundary that seems to separate black Mississippi from white.
In the town's center, a monument stands honoring the confederate soldiers who fought in the Civil War.
This mostly white town in mostly white Rankin County is about a 30-minute drive from Jackson, Mississippi. It's here in Brandon that some residents say a gang of teenagers expressed their strong racial prejudice — sometimes through violence.
These residents say the teens were friends with and often led by Deryl Dedmon, now 19 and facing capital murder and hate crime charges for the killing of James Anderson, a black man, who died after he was beaten and run over by a truck in Jackson, according to police. Dedmon has pleaded not guilty and his attorney has refused to answer CNN's repeated requests for comment.
Another teen, John Aaron Rice, was charged with simple assault. He has not entered a plea. The other five teens who were there have not been arrested or charged, though officials say they may still be indicted .
I urge you to read the entire article, because it touches on the extreme hate these young men have towards blacks, and their lack of conscience when it comes to their killing of James Anderson. A killing that was caught on surveillance cameras.
"They were looking for black people. They were looking for a black person to assault," said Mississippi's Hinds County District Attorney Robert Shuler Smith.
Shortly after he allegedly drove the truck over Anderson, Dedmon boasted and laughed about the killing, according to testimony given by some of the teens to detectives.
"I ran that nigger over," Dedmon allegedly said in a phone conversation to the teens in the other car. He repeated the racial language in subsequent conversations, according to the law enforcement officials.
"He was not remorseful, he was laughing, laughing about the killing," said Smith.
The local police do not seem too concerned, as one of the teenage witnesses says,
"I've even heard it out of some of the police officers' mouths," he said. "This is their statement: 'Well, Deryl was a good kid. He just made one bad mistake."
Yeah, he got caught.
Alright, that is it for the US, let's go global…
The fighting in Kenya is getting more complicated. We've seen the abduction of tourist and aid workers, now the possibility of more targeted violence on foreigners is giving the US Embassy reason to issue a warning. U.S. Embassy in Kenya warns citizens of 'imminent threat'
The U.S. Embassy in Kenya warned American citizens Saturday of an "imminent threat of terrorist attacks" after Kenya sent troops across the border into Somalia to pursue suspected Islamic militants from Al-Shabaab.
Kenyan government spokesman Alfred Mutua told CNN about the advance this week, which marks a dramatic shift in security tactics for the east African powerhouse.
"This is to inform U.S. citizens residing in or visiting Kenya that the U.S. Embassy in Kenya has received credible information of an imminent threat of terrorist attacks directed at prominent Kenyan facilities and areas where foreigners are known to congregate, such as malls and night clubs," the U.S. Embassy said in an emergency message.
It looks like other Eastern African nations are backing Kenya's offensive in Somolia.

African Union peacekeepers are seen in the Deynile district of the capital Mogadishu, Somalia, October 20, 2011.
The six-nation east African regional group the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) has pledged full support for Kenya's military offensive against al-Qaeda linked militants in southern Somalia. Other countries in the region are considering joining the effort as the militants appear to be losing their grip on the famine-stricken Somali countryside.
Reports are coming in that suggest Kenyan soldiers are making their way toward the rebel held port of Kismayo.
IGAD held an extraordinary ministerial level meeting Friday, five days after Kenya launched an offensive against al-Shabab. More than two battalions of Kenyan troops backed by air power streamed into southern Somalia after Shabab rebels were blamed for a series of kidnappings of foreign tourists and aid workers.
A communiqué issued after the brief meeting in the Ethiopian capital welcomes Kenya's move to scale up security operations.
In other Africa news, Liberian Ellen Johnson Sirleaf has been declared the most powerful women in Africa by Forbes Magazine.
As if winning the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize wasn't enough, Forbes Magazine, one of the most influential business publications in the United States, has, in its maiden Africa issue, honored President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf of Liberia by naming her the most powerful woman on the African continent, among 20 women listed.
According to the first issue of Forbes Africa Magazine, which went on sale October 1, President Sirleaf tops the list of most powerful African women, with Nigeria's Finance Minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and Malawi's Vice President Joyce Banda in second and third place, respectively. The list includes 11 women from South Africa alone.
The run off election will be held in November, I hope Sirleaf keeps her position as president. We'll keep you posted as Liberia moves towards that run off vote.
Boston Boomer mentioned Cannonfire's take on the "convenient" death of Gaddafi in her Saturday morning post. I want to bring your attention to this post over at Emptywheel. The OTHER Saudi Assassination Plotter Got a Reduced Sentence in July
This post from Cannonfire reminded me how convenient for our country it is that Moammar Qaddafi was executed rather than captured alive and tried: he will not be able to tell anyone, now that he's dead, how Ibn Sheikh al-Libi, who under torture provided one of the casus belli for the Iraq war, came to be suicided in a Libyan prison just as Americans started focusing on torture in 2009.
That, plus the death of the Saudi Crown Prince Sultan bin Abdul-Aziz al Saud, made me think of another plot Qaddafi brings to his grave: that he had purportedly arranged to assassinate then Crown Prince now King Abdullah. The evidence to support that plot mostly came from Abdulrahman Alamoudi, a prominent American Muslim who was arrested in 2003 on charges he violated trade sanctions against Libya.
Anyway, thinking about the similarities between that case and the Scary Iran Plot led me to consult Alamoudi's docket (most of which is not available online). What happens to a guy convicted in connection with plotting with a nasty African dictator as we launch the war to finally kill that dictator?
Well, it turns out that at about the time it was clear we'd stick around to ensure Qaddafi died in this kinetic action, a sealed document got filed in Alamoudi's case. And, on July 20, 2011, Alamoudi got about 30% knocked off his sentence, from 276 months to 197.
Hmmmm, interesting indeed…I'm sure Gaddafi took some big ass secrets with him to hell…and it wouldn't surprise me if a bunch of "cleaners" from the CIA are working to make sure those secrets don't come out.
There is an interesting article cited over at History News Network, some of you may want to click over there and check it out: Yoani Sanchez: The Deaths of Dictators: Neither History Nor Their People Will Ever Absolve Them
Ceausescu was in his helicopter, Saddam Hussein was hiding in a hole, Tunisia's Ben Ali fled into exile, Gaddafi fled in a convoy and ended up hiding in a drainpipe. The autocrats escape, they leave, they don't sacrifice themselves in the palaces from which they dictated their arbitrary laws; they do not die seated in the presidential chairs with a red sash across their chests. They always have a hidden door, a secret passage through which they can scurry away when they sense danger. Over decades they build their secret bunkers, their protected "ground zeros" or their underground refuges, because they fear that the same people who applaud them in the plazas can come for them when they lose their fear. In the nightmares of the dictators, the demons are their own subjects, the abyss takes the form of mobs who want to bring down their statues, spit on their photos. These despotic gentlemen sleep lightly, alert to the cries, the hammering on the door… they live with premonitions, often of their deaths.
I would have liked to see Muammar Gaddafi before a court, indicted for the crimes he committed against his country. I think the violent deaths of the satraps only gives them an aura of martyrdom they do not deserve. They must be left alive to hear the public testimony of their victims, to see their countries move forward without the hindrance they represented, and to observe the fickleness of the opportunists who once supported them. They must survive to witness the dismantling of the false history they rewrote, to see how the new generations begin to forget them, and to hear the diatribes, the scorn, the fiercest criticism. To lynch a despot is to save him, to offer him an almost glorious way out that spares him the lasting punishment of being judged before the law.
It's a good piece, check it out.
Yay, it is now time for the links to your morning terror tease.
From Minx's Missing Link File: View from space: Toxic algae bloom in Lake Erie | Water | EarthSky Yuk…check out the green sludge that can be seen from space.
The green plumes shown in these images is the worst algae bloom North America's Lake Erie has experienced in decades. The bloom is primarily microcystis aeruginosa, an algae that is toxic to mammals, according to the Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory. These images were acquired by the The Landsat-5 satellite in early October, 2011. The reasons for this year's giant bloom are complex, say scientists, but might be related to a rainy spring and invasive mussels.
The Landsat-5 satellite acquired the top image on October 5, 2011. Vibrant green filaments extend out from the northern shore. Several days of calm winds and warm temperatures allowed the algae to gather on the surface. The bloom intensified after October 5, and by October 9—when the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the Aqua satellite acquired the lower image—the bloom covered much of the western basin.
Algae blooms were common in the lake's shallow western basin in the 1950s and 60s. Phosphorus from farms, sewage, and industry fertilized the waters so that huge algae blooms developed year after year. The blooms subsided a bit starting in the 1970s, when regulations and improvements in agriculture and sewage treatment limited the amount of phosphorus that reached the lake.
Microcystis aeruginosa produces a liver toxin, microcystin, that commonly kills dogs swimming in infected water and causes skin irritation for people. Richard Stumpf, an oceanographer with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, measured 50 times more microcystin in Lake Erie in the summer of 2011 than the World Health Organization recommends for safe recreation.
Ewww…taking a dip in that lake…makes me sick just thinking about it. One thing though…who would go swimming in Lake Erie in the first place? Isn't it one of the most polluted bodies of water within the US? Didn't catch on fire back in the day because of all the chemicals dumped in the water?

Great white sharks are a protected species in Australia. Photograph: Brandon Cole

A great white shark killed an American diver yesterday in the third fatal shark attack in recent weeks off the coast of Western Australia.
The state government has promised to hunt the killer and is considering more aircraft surveillance off west-coast beaches. Australia averages fewer than two fatal shark attacks a year.
Truly frightening stuff…talk about needing a bigger boat!

Morning y'all, I have a few updates on some news stories:
As if this comes as a surprise: Autopsy: Libya's Gadhafi killed by shot to head – USATODAY.com
An autopsy confirmed that Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi died from a gunshot to the head, the country's chief pathologist said Sunday, just hours before Libya's new leaders were to declare liberation and a formal end to an eight-month civil war to topple the longtime ruler's regime.
The declaration starts the clock on a transition to democracy that is fraught with uncertainty and could take up to two years.
However, international concern about the circumstances of Gadhafi's death and indecision over what to do with his remains overshadowed what was to be a joyful day. Gadhafi's body has been on public display in a commercial freezer in a shopping center in the port city of Misrata, which suffered from a bloody siege by regime forces during the spring.
Opinion: Blame Norquist, not Founders – Doug Kendall – POLITICO.com
But the Constitution is not the problem. If we want to get Washington working again, we should listen to the Founders — not blame them for problems of our own making or change the ground rules of the system of government they bequeathed to us.
True, the Founders established a deliberative democracy, with a series of checks and balances designed to prevent the majority from running roughshod over the rights of political minorities. But these checks and balances have served our nation well.
And the devastation looks bad: 7.3-mag earthquake strikes Turkish city – CBS News
Turkey's state-run agency says a powerful earthquake has collapsed some buildings in the centre of eastern city of Van.
The mayor of a town in eastern Turkey hit by a powerful earthquake says many people have died.
"There are so many dead. Several buildings have collapsed, there is too much destruction," Ercis mayor Zulfikar Arapoglu told NTV television.
"We need urgent aid, we need medics," he said.
The U.S. Geological Survey put the magnitude of Sunday afternoon's quake at 7.3.

I mentioned the Orionid Meteor shower in Friday morning's post, there are some pictures at this link here: Orionid Meteor Shower Wows Weekend Skywatchers | 2011 Orionid Meteor Shower & Halley's Comet | Amateur Astronomy & Skywatching Tips | Space.com
A weekend meteor shower created by the leftover bits of the famed Halley's comet is thrilling skywatchers around the world, who captured amazing photos of the cosmic light show.
The dazzling "shooting star" display was sparked by the 2011 Orionid meteor shower, which peaked before sunrise on Saturday (Oct. 22). The meteor shower is visible in the southeastern sky and appears to emanate from the constellation Orion, the Hunter (hence its name).
Great post, Minx. Lots of interesting stuff.
If anyone is interested in the Deryl Dedmon hate crime case, I wrote an in-depth post about it in August.
Oh thanks for that link BB, I thought you had written something but I could not remember when.
Fannie says:
You did a great job on your post BB. Dedmon has been ingrained that his stock is superior. And it is through the schools, the community, the churches, and the juvenile justice system that he has learned to internalize it, and accept it. He really is a relfection of our larger society, and the violence that is promoted and comes our instituitions.
Racism and sexism, and gay bashing is everywhere, it becomes a reality, and we now are finding it clearly, via the camera.
I know. Most of the time it's not that blatant. But when I see a horrible crime like this done by young people, it makes me realize how far we still have to go as a society.
It seems as if Jeff Sessions missed that whole thing about the financial system crashing, taxpayer bailouts, millions of people losing their homes, and record levels of unemployment. If he isn't capable of making the connection between those events and increased use of food stamps, then he needs to retire immediately.
Amen to that – retire immediately.
ralphb says:
It isn't that Sessions can't make the connection, it's that he doesn't care. An even bigger reason for him to step down immediately.
True. My comments were mostly academic. But you have to admit, he sounds stupid when he discusses the increase in food stamp use and doesn't connect it to the economy.
@Ralphie B…
I don't think any of them don't care. Hey, I am realistic, I don't expect the politicians to be bleeding hearts about everything…but dammit, they should at least have some sense of humanity…and genuine sympathy for the basic issues that are affecting the country.
I really don't think a lot of them care at all. We seem to have spent a generation electing the most selfish asshats possible to public office.
Or, if they do care, it isn't enough to try and do anything to help which imho is just as bad.
Well, I live in Cleveland and I can report that many people swim, fish and go boating on Lake Erie.
It was the Cuyahoga River that caught fire decades ago, and that has been cleaned up since then.
You are behind the times but thanks for playing.
Ah, okay Sweet Sue, I thought it was Lake Erie that was on fire…I'm glad it's been cleaned up. Still don't think I would take a dip in it though. 😉
The Cuyahoga drains into Lake Erie. The lake diluted the pollutants enough so they couldn't catch fire, but that's where they all went, back in the day. So your point that you wouldn't have wanted to swim in that soup is still right, I'd say. Sue's also right that most of the skin-dissolving chemicals have been brought down to levels that no longer make sensational TV.
Sweet Sue,
I didn't know you lived in Ohio. I'll be driving through the Cleveland on my way home to Boston. It seems like a nice city. It's very pleasant to drive through, at least on the turnpike.

Thank you Mike. So true, and this is where I have been personally for a few years now, coming out of hardbound religion (which is the devils very well contrived counterfeit by the way) into a genuine spiritual life, lived moment by moment (what I believe Jesus meant when He called us to come to him). Now one thing I have found, and many will disagree with this, is that we must start to see the bible as a spiritual book, not as a text book for moral living or pleasing a law-obsessed God. I have and am making may missteps in my walk now, to be honest, as I learn to step into this new spiritual reality as a child learning to live for the first time.
Also I am finding that religious people do not generally know where you are coming from, and you make them uncomfortable. Whereas as you may have real, matter of fact testimonies of things you are entering into, they have mere bible verses, echoes of teachers they follow, script and rote. Ultimately I find they will leave you, as they left the Lord. They are threatened, their little religious house of cards is exposed. If all God wanted was a race of well behaved, good little moral sheep (what religious endeavors to achieve) He could have very easily created that by divine fiat. What He wants however are real spiritual sons who are one with Him in ways we can only begin to appreciate.
What you said Wayne is so true. I, along with you, am learning many things that the religious system taught are wrong. Looking to the Spirit for truth rather than to man is bringing so much truth and different ways of seeing things. Thanks for your comment.
A lot of truth in this!
Thanks Chuck. I appreciate your comment.

The hotel bedroom furniture sets are to be selective and coordinated. Not all furniture can be put in, there should be a choice of place, the design style and design concept of hotel furniture itself need to maintain a high degree of coordination.
In general, no matter what the standard hotel bedroom furniture sets, its functional requirements and furniture composition are basically similar. It not only requires sleep and rest, but also has the function of writing small pieces of luggage.
When cleaning hotel bedroom furniture sets, do not be lazy and repeat the use of the already dirty rag. This will only cause the dirt to repeatedly rub on the furniture surface, and it will damage the bright surface of the furniture.


It has been ages since I had fried catfish, so was happy to give this truck a try. The catfish was good. Hot, crispy and tasty, and plenty of it. Would have loved to have a side of hush puppies to go with it. The red beans and rice was very bland and a disappointment. They need to throw a ham bone or some seasoning, or even some salt in with the beans - something to give it some flavor. I can recommend the catfish, but skip the red beans and rice.
I am sad to see so many bad reviews for this food truck because I had a great experience with them. I got got food from them at the monthly food truck festival at Navy Yard. I got an Oyster Po Boy and my friend got the fried catfish and old bay fries. We all thought the food was delicious. The portions for both dishes were big. The oyster po boy was full of fried oysters. The fry on both the catfish and oysters was perfect and crispy, not at all greasy. Both dishes were well seasoned. The french fries were crispy and had a ton of old bay on them. I love old bay so I am not going to complain about that but I can see how it can be a bit much for some people. Everything was made to order and fried on the spot.
The service was okay. The festival was very busy and the line for this truck was really long. It took at least 15 minutes for our food to be made but I felt this was understandable since it was so busy and everything was being fried to order. The man collecting taking orders was nice enough.
I am not sure if I got lucky or if the food at this food truck has improved. In any case, I would get the food from here again!
Over priced for just the sandwich. Shrimp was not hot, lukewarm at best and the toppings to include the sauce, was very skimpy.
They cook all their stuff fresh to order, and this is what I always get when I find this truck,always hot and fresh!
First of all, the oyster po boy w/red beans and rice costs $13 so it should be pretty darn good to justify that cost. I was disappointed with the fried oysters. They were heavily battered and very crispy and the oysters got lost in the process. Some of them were very small. The bread is just okay. The red beans and rice were good but not impressive. I give the red beans and rice 3 stars and the po boy 2 stars. I might give the catfish a shot at some point but I'm not going back for the fried oysters.
It really pains me to give a bad review to this truck that is supposed to be representing my home state of LA. The sausage tasted really bad and the beans and rice were undercooked. This was a rushed botched meal that left me feeling nauseous and cheated. I couldnt even eat it, just had to cut my losses and throw it in the garbage. If you are interested chef, I can cook you a real pot of red beans with some onions, bell peppers, scallions, a bit of smoked turkey for flavor or some real sausage. If you cant cook rice that isnt crunchy, buy a rice cooker. You might be able to pass that mediocre/poor cooking off on these city folks, but you will never fool a country girl with those hard red beans and crunchy rice!
Cajunators is a cajun and creole cuisine food truck. The cuisine was first introduced at the 2nd Truckeroo DC food truck festival on July 15, 2011. The truck officially launched on the streets of the District on about September 20, 2011 (at Union Station). The truck actually used to be the first Dangerously Delicious Pies truck before it was transformed into the Cajunators (Cajunators is not affiliated with Dangerously Delicious Pies).


You Said It: "I Love How Real Drew Barrymore Looks in Her CoverGirl Commercials"
"I have seen the new covergirl commercial with Drew Barrymore and ... I love it because Drew isn't traditionally skinny and model-y, and they don't try to make it look like she is either," writes Vitamin G reader Melanie, who lives in Pleasanton, California. "Seeing someone so beautiful and confident strutting around with curves has made me feel better about my own, go CoverGirl!"
Agreed! Drew looks terrific, not bony and airbrushed to death.
Have you noticed other ads following suit?

Do I even have to explain it??? MIGHTY MOUSE is the coolest super hero who was ever imagined! Who doesn't love a crime fighting, damsel saving,flying mouse??? Ever since I was a little girl anytime super-hero was brought up Mighty Mouse is who came to mind. So it doesn't surprise me that he is who the first thought I had when I read Day 6.
Since tomorrow is Sunday and I won't be online I am posting this a day early. Out of all the places I have ever been there is only one place that I feel the peace and love of our Heavenly Father and Savior...The TEMPLE.
I've visited many Temples. Thirteen to be exact! But the Seattle, Washington Temple holds a very special place in my heart. When I was an infant I was sealed to my parents and older brother, Patrick in that special building. I don't remember anything about it...but I was told that I was a perfect, content baby the entire 10 hours we were there that day. Even though I was a nursing baby, I had no problem being away from my mommy for 6-7 hours and never fused.
Another reason this Temple means so much is because on September 27th, 2002 I was sealed to my Eternal Sweetheart, Ryan Scott Bair. I remember everything about that day. It was one of the greatest days of my life, aside from becoming a mother a few years later. I am so lucky to have found a man who loves me, cares for me, and supports me in all I do. I LOVE YOU RY!!!
You know the saying,"Never put off til tomorrow what can be done today,"? Well I tend to be the opposite. I always seem to put things off and I'm not always conscious of it when I'm doing it.
First off let me just say I consider myself "FRIENDS" with many people! However, I have 4 women in my life who have proven themselves over and over to be there for me and love me no matter what my faults.
I met Melissa Louise Sauter/Smeltzer on the 1st day of school in 3rd grade. Why she wanted to be my friend was beyond me...maybe it was because we were the only 2 girls in our class??? Anyway we became friends regardless of my attitude among other faults. Some of the stories she has about me...oh that's another blog. Anyhow, I LOVE HER! She has been a GREAT friend for the past 20 years...dang that's a long time...here is to 20 more with her as my friend.
A few months after turning 12 my family moved from Key Center, WA to ROSWELL, NM. What were my parents thinking??? Again that is another blog!!! I was terrified! I had lived in the same home my entire 12 years of existence. I didn't think I would find friends as good as I had had in Washington. Well the Lord knows BEST. On my first day of school in Roswell I met Amanda Michelle Hogge/Rubio. Not only did we share the same middle name but we also shared a love for sports. We played on many teams together throughout the years. Up until High School when I chose soccer and she chose volleyball :( We live close so she is the friend I see the most often now a days. I don't think she will ever understand the amount of love I have for her. She made the hardest thing in my life (at the time of age 12) bearable. Her mom and her are a second family to me.
When Ryan and I decided to make the big move down to New Mexico from Spokane, WA< I have to admit I was a bit nervous. A few months passed without anything grand...and then I met Emily Reva Winkel/Sessions! Her cute family have moved from Oregon and bought a home in our ward. We were called to be the Girl's Camp Director/ Assistant Director together. We became close over that week of camp and realized how much we had in common with one another. A few months after camp we both realized we were expecting...HAHAHAHAHAHAHA...heavenly father sure has a sense of humor, right? So in the picture below is at our Twilight Party...yes I went...were Em and I are pregnant together!
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, these women and their cute families! They are a soft place to fall when the road of life becomes rocky!
1.I belong to THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATER DAY SAINTS, I know who I am I know God's plan, I'll follow him in faith!
2.I LOVE to sing and can sing a song I've only heard once...however...don't ask me to sight read!
4.I have small anxiety attacks when I have to leave my children for more than a few hours...it doesn't matter who I leave them with, still have them.
5.I am a crime fighting, nose wiping, Lego building, sword fighting, dig in the dirt Super Hero to my 3 energetic boys.
7.I am not a beauty school dropout, however, I don't enjoy doing hair as much as I used too. Not sure why...just not enjoying it...maybe too many clients who think I am a magician????
9.I enjoy food! I'll try anything, as long as it is cooked, at least once!
10.I LOVE the HEAT! So good thing we live in New Mexico...it's warm pretty much all year and scorching the rest of the time.
12. I LOVE PRIMARY!!! I was so intimidated and insecure in my calling for the first 5 months, I had to pray away the fear daily, and now...I am at home there.
13.I LOVE my CHRISTMAS gift from my husband(see picture)! I can't wait to take some photography courses from my dear friend, Tonya Peterson.
14.I was nicknamed booger face by my loving siblings when I was a toddler...due to a scar I have on my face from a booger. Long story short if a booger dries on your face while your sleeping get a warm washcloth to wipe it off. DON'T try to scratch it off!
15.I get claustrophobic! Even in my home if there is too much stuff...so I DE-clutter often and recently realized I need to really start THINKING every purchase through so I don't clutter my home!
Day 28-A picture of you from last year and now-how have you changed?
Day 29-In this past month, what have you learned?


Maybe Kenneth York should invite his neighbors over and pop open a few $200 bottles of his Cabernet Sauvignon to chill them out.
Homeowners who live near the Hollywood sign are livid over York's plan to build a two-story, 8,000-square-foot mansion, a 1,300-square-foot guest house, a pool, a tennis court and "wine caves" next to the sprawling vineyard he planted years ago above their homes.
Residents complain that York — a Glendora ophthalmologist who planted six acres of grapes in 2001 —intends to build a third-of-a-mile-long road up a steep section of Mt. Lee and bulldoze a series of terraces, work that will cause years of dust and noise.
Before he begins construction, however, York needs waivers from the city for the massive amount of grading he needs to do and construction of the roadway and numerous retaining walls.
Though the winery is not widely known, Hollywood Classic Vineyard bills itself as boutique label and a throwback to the era when Los Angeles was a steady wine producer. There is no tasting room and visitors are not permitted to tour the vineyard, but the company's website boasts that the yields from harvests produce superior wines.
But to some who live beneath the Hollywood sign, the winemaker has failed the taste test when it comes to being a good neighbor.
Workers tending the grapes work Sundays, storage bins are parked along the street, and during harvest season, a noisy refrigerator truck sits outside York's home, they complain.
York did not respond to calls seeking comment about his construction plans or vineyard operation, but his attorney, Ellia Thompson, said neighbors and city officials have known about the plans for years. And his consultants have stressed to the city that the grading will create ample fill dirt for the roadway and for terraced building pads.
