Woman 'blessed by the holy toast'
A Florida woman put the item up for sale, claiming it has brought her great luck since she found it 10 years ago. The internet auction site eBay originally pulled the offering, fearing it was a joke, but has now apparently been reassured it is genuine. The snack has attracted a bid - thought to be a hoax - of $99.9m. Diana Duyser, 52, of Hollywood, Florida, set a starting price of $3,000, and pleaded with people not to post hoax bids. 'Total shock' She described how she came across the mysterious morsel. "I made this sandwich 10 years ago. When I took a bite out of it, I saw a face looking up at me; it was Virgin Mary starring (sic) back at me. I was in total shock," she explained. Mrs Duyser has since kept the toastie surrounded by cotton wool, in a plastic container on a stand.
She says a decade on from its conception, it has not shown any sign of mould or crumbling - which she considers "a miracle". She also believes its mystical properties have brought her blessings, including $70,000 won in a nearby casino. Other visitors to the website were sceptical, however. Mocking imitators posted pictures of Elvis and a "burnt George Bush" depicted on slices of toast. Another tried to sell T-shirts showing Mrs Duyser's sandwich, while a budding artist posted a watercolour based on the image. There were no bids.
Mr Duyser dismissed the naysayers. "I do believe that this is the Virgin Mary Mother Of God," she proclaimed. EBay spokesman Hani Durzy said the company had decided to allow the auction to continue. "There's nothing to indicate that the seller isn't willing to give up this cheese sandwich to the highest bidder," he said. But Mrs Duyser added a note for any misguided bidder who might consider paying thousands - or millions - of dollars for a blessed breakfast snack. "I would like all bidders to know that this item is not intended for consumption," she made clear.9th November 2004

: But is it Art?
Turner hopefuls unveil their work Langlands and Bell travelled to Afghanistan after the fall of the Taliban The four artists nominated for the Turner Prize are showing off the work they hope will clinch the £40,000 award The exhibition at London's Tate Britain gallery opens on Wednesday. Among the pieces on display is an interactive digital reconstruction of Osama Bin Laden's base in Afghanistan, created by artists Langlands and Bell. But one piece of their work has been removed because it features an alleged Afghan warlord who is currently on trial at the High Court in London. The two artists, Ben Langlands and Nikki Bell, were official war artists when they travelled to Afghanistan in 2001, where they visited the Bin Laden's former home in Daruntah, west of Jalalabad. This year's shortlist features much more serious themes than previous years, with politics playing a big part in inspiring the artists. Film and interactive installations are also prominent in the display. "This year it is a quite heavy show," said Karen Wright, editor of Modern Art magazine. "Artists are always involved in their time and this is a show that contexts politics and shows what is going on." The other artists shortlisted for the prize are Kutlug Ataman, Jeremy Deller, Langlands and Bell and Yinka Shonibare. Deller's submitted work, including a documentary called Memory Bucket, was inspired by a trip to Texas, as well as photographs and footage of a parade he organised through the Spanish city of San Sebastian. Grayson Perry won the Turner Prize in 2003 As part of his submission he has also invited speakers to give talks on topics relating to his work throughout the duration of the exhibition. Turkish-born Kutlag Ataman will present his new six-screen video installation entitled Twelve, which he filmed in south-eastern Turkey. It features six people talking about their past and present lives, exploring their personal histories and challenging conventional language. Yinka Shonibare will also present a film, this time about the assassination of Swedish king Gustav III at a masked ball in 1792, enacted through dance. Using his trademark batik, he has also included in his submissions a painting called Max 2003, which comprises circular canvases, and sculpture based on an 18th Century painting. The shortlisted works will be exhibited at Tate Britain from 20 October to 23 December, with the winner announced on 6 December. The prize is open to any artist under the age of 50 who is either working in the UK, or is British and working abroad. In the past the Turner Prize has courted controversy with winners including Gilbert and George, Anish Kapoor, Antony Gormley and Damien Hirst. Transvestite potter Grayson Perry won the award last year for his elaborate vases. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainmen
: I'm glad to know I'm not 'normal'!
InterestsRankWelcome to the InterestsRank meme - what it does is look at a livejournal user's interests and classifies them according to how popular they are among other livejournal users. It then displays these in a way that lets you tell how "normal" (or not) someone is (for someone "normal" most interests will be on the left). The numbers in brackets tell you how many other ljers share that interest.

: lists...
I make lists...so as not to forget to do stuff. There's the Must Do list, the Should Do list, and the Could Do list. Lately, I've noticed that stuff on the Must Do list hardly gets done; stuff on the Should Do list sometimes gets done; stuff on the Could Do list always gets done. You notice a pattern emerging? This needs to be thought about. It's important. I'll put it on my list. But which one? 17th October 2004
