Mumbai: At a special screening of Nagesh Kukunoor's "Lakshmi" for sex workers held at the centre of a red-light area here, the filmmaker was accosted by a group of extremely overwrought sex workers who wanted to know who the played the nasty pimp in the film.
"Agar woh mil jaye to hum ussey aisa sabak sikhaayenge ki naani yaad aa jayegi (If we find him, we will teach him a lesson to remember)," the workers told Kukunoor after the screening.
The screening was held at the Alankar theatre on Grant Road.
Of course when they got to know that the "offender" was none other than Kukunoor himself, the sex workers directed their wrath at him, bombarding him with loud expletives and jostling him until he had to be whisked away.
Laughing at the experience, the film's co-producer Elahi Heptoolah said: "It was a screening only for the sex workers of Kamathipura (Mumbai's red-light district). The atmosphere was charged and emotional. The ladies completely empathized with what was being shown on screen.
"They felt it was their own story put up there and the pimp, played by our dear director Nagesh, represented everything that was evil in their lives. They felt a deep hatred for his character. They couldn't recognize Nagesh who stood quietly outside to see them off after the show as the guy played they pimp. When they did, they were very upset."
There are plans to show Kukunoor's film to prostitutes all across India.
"We feel 'Lakshmi' is relevant to sex workers' lives far beyond a film. We want to expose the film in all the red-light areas of the country. But first we're trying to get it released in Alankar cinema on Grant Road, so all the sex workers would be able to watch it," added Heptoolah.

Kent, Washington Father and Stepson Indicted on Drug and Gun Crimes
Allegedly Sold Demerol, Oxycontin, Hydrocodone And Firearms Illegally From Gun Shop
A Kent, Washington man and his stepson were arrested this morning following their indictment on seven criminal counts related to gun sales and controlled substance distribution, announced U.S. Attorney Jenny A. Durkan. The indictment alleges that MARK E. BRYANT, 49, and his step-son ANDREW GAGLEY, 30, illegally distributed Demerol. BRYANT is also charged in four different counts with distributing oxycontin, hydrocodone, and morphine on three different days in September and October 2012. BRYANT is also charged with selling a firearm to a drug user. GAGLEY is separately charged with selling a firearm to a felon and illegal alien. Both men will appear in U.S. District Court in Seattle today at 1:30.
BRYANT owns Westside Guns and East Valley Auto Rebuild on South 222nd Street in Kent. On multiple occasions BRYANT sold guns or drugs to persons working with law enforcement on the property of his Kent gun shop. GAGLEY also participated in gun and drug sales in and near the business. On October 26, 2012, GAGLEY allegedly sold a Colt .556 caliber, semi-automatic rifle to a person working with law enforcement. GAGLEY allegedly made the sale knowing that the person was prohibited from purchasing firearms because the buyer was in the U.S. illegally and was a convicted felon. Just two days before, on October 24, 2012, BRYANT illegally sold a Firestar .45 pistol handgun to a person he knew to be a drug user. As a Federal Firearms Licensee, BRYANT is required to file paperwork on gun sales and to maintain acquisition records on all firearms received and transferred to other persons.
The arrests today are the culmination of an eight month investigation by the South Sound Task Force. The South Sound Task Force is comprised of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), the Lakewood Police Department (LPD) and the Washington State Liquor Control Board (WSLCB); with assistance from U.S. Customs and Border Protection's Office of Air and Marine.
The charges contained in the indictment are only allegations. A person is presumed innocent unless and until he or she is proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
Each of the crimes charged are punishable by up to twenty years in prison and three years of supervised release.
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Ye-Ting Woo.

Fading Out
John Redmond
- The Ghost Orchid by Michael Longley
Cape, 66 pp, £7.00, May 1995, ISBN 0 224 04112 6
The West of Ireland is a good place in which to hide. Fast-moving columns of sun and rain cause landmarks to appear and disappear; the roads have potholes which could hide the many vagrant horses, donkeys and sheep; and young boys hang from the signposts till they are wildly twisted about. To find your way is pleasantly difficult – but even more pleasant is the difficulty of being found. Among other splendid things,'the West' is the land of transplanted urban dream kingdoms, a paradise for poets who do not wish to be disturbed. Michael Viney's documentary, The Corner of the Eye, opens with a slow sweep across this landscape, a picture of distances fringed with purple and a few tawny cows nosing through the foreground, then switches to a little white cottage in the midst of it all, and then to the face of the dwelling's occupant, and the film's subject, Michael Longley. Sitting in the blue light from a window, Longley discusses – in a manner which the film's opening sequence seeks to imitate – the process of exploring unfamiliar places. He remembers how, as a native of Belfast, he came to Carrigskeewaun in Mayo at a time when the Troubles were starting to break out in Northern Ireland. What first mesmerised him about the West was the horizon, the sense of unlimited space, the lines of hills. Then, as the years passed, he became more fascinated by the middle distance, by walls and trees and roads until, finally, his love affair with the landscape ended with him on his hands and knees looking 'into the faces of small flowers'.
It is appropriate that there are two faces on this book: on the inside of the dust jacket, a black and white image of Longley, everyone's idea of what a poet should look like, a fierce-eyed observer with a beard like a bank of reeds; and then, on the cover, the ghost orchid, like some sort of lost and melancholy alien, so sensitive to being observed that its eyes and brains, elaborately folded on scribble-like stalks, are tinged with a permanent blush. Longley's poetic kingdom is by now a familiar one – a world of otters and lapwings, of sandy expanses and wild flowers, of clouds re-arranging shadows on the bog between the mountains. Reminding us that microscopes are more reassuring than telescopes, much of The Ghost Orchid is an exploration of such miniature things as flies, anemones, snowflakes, 'boxes the size of tears', equations which can be written on the back of a postage-stamp and names which can be written on a grain of rice. Formally, these minute objects are mirrored by 'small' poems, some no more than one sentence, some no more than two lines long. As a result of this repeated 'zooming-in' process, the reader experiences feelings of both intimacy (only when we know a place really well can we number every blade of grass) and importance (such godlike knowledge makes us feel proportionally large). At times the emphasis which the book places on scale is worthy of Lewis Carroll's Wonderland:
We are completely out of proportion in the tea-house
Until we arrange around a single earthenware bowl
Ourselves, the one life, the one meeting, a ribbon of water
And these makeshift ideograms of wet leaves, green tea.

Rantoul Press asked Mayor Neal Williams and Village Administrator Bruce Sandahl for a reflection on the year just completed and a look-ahead to the coming year.
Following are their comments.
Neal Williams
As we usher in a new year with a sense of hopefulness and anticipation, it's fitting that we take a few moments to look back and to celebrate the successes the village of Rantoul enjoyed in 2012.
These successes would not have been possible without the village's dedicated and professional employees, each of whom works hard every day to provide efficient, friendly services to the people of Rantoul.
Among the long list of accomplishments, I would like to highlight just a few that demonstration the progress we made in 2012:
• Rantoul experienced a 28 percent reduction in the crime rate.
• Rantoul enjoyed a fourth consecutive year of no increase in the village's property tax levy.
• Easton-Bell Sports, one of Rantoul's largest employers, began construction on a $52 million complex, resulting in the retention of more than 300 jobs and creating the possibility for future growth.
• Rantoul contributed its program of demolishing blighted properties. Aggressive code enforcement also resulted in a decrease in the number of substandard rental properties.
These are just a few examples of the progress Rantoul made in 2012. Although those efforts will continue, we can also look ahead to the following opportunities in 2013:
• The conveyance of properties on the former Chanute Air Force Base, thus allowing both occupied and unoccupied properties to be sold and placed on the tax roll.
• The demolition of White Hall and the CAFB steam place.
• Lincoln's Challenge academy will begin demolition of three 1,000-man dormitories, allowing for the construction of a new campus which will house more than 800 cadets.
• Rantoul will again host the I&I Historic Farm Days, an event that draws over 65,000 visitors from several continents.
• Dollar Tree General store and O'Reilly Auto Parts will start and complete construction of their new facilities.
• The Miller-Valentine senior housing project will be constructed at Twin Lake Subdivision and will offer 42 affordable single-family housing units to senior citizens.
In 2013, the village and its staff will continue to provide services designed to meet the needs of its citizens, including police protection, recreation and public works. Electricity, water, wastewater and natural gas will continue to be offered to citizens at the lowest possible rates.
Rantoul is more than just bricks and mortar. The village will continue to work with and assist other governmental bodies such as Rantoul Township High School and Rantoul City Schools. A school resource officer from the Rantoul Police Department is currently assigned to the high school and a DARE officer walks the halls of our grade schools.
The village also works to support the efforts of the Northern Champaign County Community Services Center, Generations of Hope, Lincoln's Challenge, Cultivadores, the Multicultural Service Center and many other organizations which strive to improve and enhance the lives of numerous citizens.
One year from now I am confident that we will look back on 2013 as a very positive year, one which was filled with growth and progress and which provided a solid foundation for years to come. This vision for Rantoul will only be realized with the hard work, patience and dedication of its greatest asset — its people.
It has been an honor to serve this community as mayor, and I look forward to working with village trustees and staff to meet and overcome the challenges we will face.
Bruce Sandahl
It has been another busy year for the village of Rantoul in a number of areas, all of which continue to move us forward. During the course of our daily lives, we sometimes forget the amount of progress we are making in the village, and we need to stop once in a while and reflect on what has taken place.
Below is a short list of some of the activities, actions and improvements that have happened this past year, all of which help to improve our quality of life, job opportunities and economic development within our community.
• Rantoul Foods building expansion.
• Charles Industries building expansion.
• Prairie Village expansion with a veterans wing and new dementia facility.
• Hope Meadows expansion nearing completion.
• Dairy Queen renovation and expansion.
• Starcrest Cleaners new facility.
• Lindsey Lane Bridal expansion into the former Busey Bank Building downtown.
• Style FX expansion and renovation downtown.
• Internet Cafe building renovation and new business downtown soon to be open.
• Maria's Tacos new business downtown.
• Easton-Bell's new 800,000-square-foot manufacturing and distribution facility under construction.
• Stewart Oil/Super Pantry convenience store and gas station to be constructed on the former CIB/Tatman properties.
• Miller-Valentine Senior Housing Project, which includes 42 condo style housing units and club house at Twin Lakes Subdivision. (Construction to start in the spring of 2013)
• Rantoul Business Incubator satellite facility for incubator startup companies and business startup management classes in a partnership with University of Illinois Enterprise Works, Parkland College and the village of Rantoul.
• South Murray Road project is completed for the west side commercial, retail and hotel development, Stone Bridge Center, located on the southeast corner of Interstate 57 and Hwy 136.
• Chanute Air Force Base property transfer and airport size reduction agreements with the FAA and USAF.
• Shared-used bike path under construction and to be completed this spring.
Continued progress is being made in eliminating excess substandard housing and blighted properties. This is a very important effort to stop the decline in overall property values and to improve the quality of our neighborhoods and the well-being of our current and future citizens.
Our village budget is showing a positive year-end balance again this year, and our mayor and village board have not raised the property tax levy for the fourth consecutive year.
Reduced crime rate
We have also seen a dramatic reduction in the crime rates within our village. Over the past four years, part 1 and part 2 offenses have been reduced by 28 percent.
This was accomplished by the dedicated members of our police department, village cleanup efforts from our citizens and village employees and the continuous elimination of blighted and substandard housing and other properties.
Next year we can look forward to the completion of the Easton-Bell, Super Pantry, Twin Lakes Senior Villas and several other projects mentioned above. Also, the Lincoln's Challenge Academy's new campus construction and building demolition will begin, along with the demolition of White Hall and the Chanute steam plant projects.
It has been a good year of progress for the village, and with the continued guidance and support from our mayor, village board and citizens, 2013 promises to be another year of the village of Rantoul moving forward and being a community that we can all be proud of.

Also I was looking at the apple site (canadian one) and if you go to the tech specs http://store.apple.com/us/browse/ho...01&cp=ipodtouch-sustain-q2fy10-0001-APP+STORE It doesn't say that the headphones have a mic attached to them, and even on the headset description itself as well. Did they add in a built in mic?? Also one last question, I'm a bit confused why they are advertising face to face video calls? It's only if your using skype right? P.S. if you look at the ipod gallery, you can no see the speakers, its near the port for those who didnt know. Thx guys!

Ghosts of End Times Present: Walter Veith
From the December 2011 E-Block.
Perhaps you've seen those billboards warning about the end times which say that not keeping the Sabbath is a sure sign you're on the side of the bad guys. If you ever wondered, Walter Veith is an example of a go-to guy for a book advocating that very stance. As his Truth Matters (TM) reveals, though, it's a bit more complex: Yes, it's an adventist view, but with him at least it is also an anti-Catholic view. Veith's position is that Roman Catholicism fits the bill of the whore of Babylon; anti-Sabbatarianism is the mark of those who follow it, and Adventism (as represented by Ellen G. White, and we presume, not by all who call themselves Adventist) represents safe quarter from all that badness, the "Elijah who was to come".
Not all of TM is quite this far fetched. Veith initially makes an effort to argue that Jesus existed and fulfilled OT prophecy, using McDowell as his guide through secular references to Jesus. Other chapters are no less extraordinary (and no more scholarly). Unfortunately, since I am not equipped to evaluate many of Veith's charges against Catholicism; and since there have already been adequate critiques of White done before, I'll limit myself to checking up on a few of Veith's claims and use those as a microcosm for evaluation.
If you're looking for any serious or detailed exegesis of passages to validate Veith's eschatology, it won't be found here. Documentation is spotty at best, and a great deal is taken for granted or described in as few words as seemed possible. Veith does offer the standard sleight of hand we have seen from both amateur eschatologists and copycat Christ mythers: Collapsing down descriptions to a lowest common denominator to achieve a match. Thus for example, we are assured that the papacy fits descriptions of Daniel 7's fourth beast (although it is allowed to have been initially pagan Rome!), but the explanations frequently fall short of satisfactory, as for example, where Daniel says the beast "shall devour the whole earth." This, we are assured, happens inasmuch as "[P]apal Rome was to receive the same supremacy it enjoyed in the Middle Ages over the nations of Europe on an international scale at the end of time." A later chapter is then said to prove this in detail, but what Veith calls a "mortal wound" amounts to little more than a boo-boo. In Veith's view, the "mortal wound" to the Papacy was the dethroning in 1798 of Pope Pius VI by Napoleon: The Pope had his papal ring removed, and died in exile; thereafter his successors had to submit to Napoleon, one of them, Pius VII, was also exiled, but returned to power in 1814.
Thereafter, Veith tries to up the ante with yet another papal exile, in 1848, but admits this pope (Pius IX) was restored to power just two years later. In the end, he sums up the "wound" as the papacy having lost political power outside Catholicism between 1798 and 1929.
As with standard dispensationalism, however, Veith does little more than carefully select what he needs to serve his purposes. Why not instead select the advent of the antipopes as the "mortal wound," or the reign of the so-called "pornographic" popes? Or how about the current controversy over pedophilia and Catholic priests?
Other matches are no more persuasive. We are told that the papal title "Vicar of the Son of God" totals to 666 in Latin; but so for that matter does "Papa Smurf" in English. We are told that the USA is the lamblike beast of Revelation, because it "starts off like a lamb and later speaks like a dragon" -- with reference to the latter, because it "would become more militant over time" and eventually, it is said, will "cause all who dwell on the earth to worship the papal power..." The proof of this is the USA's role as a global policeman. I must have missed the news story where Afghans and Iraqis were being compelled to worship on Sunday and take communion; but apparently, that the US merely has the ability (so Veith says) to enforce papal decrees is enough to suppose that it is only a matter of time before they do. That, and the fact that in 1982, Ronald Reagan had a private meeting with the Pope, an "American Envoy was posted to the Vatican," and (supposedly, according to "Liberty magazine") the Reagan administration altered its foreign aid program to "comply with the Church's teachings on birth control." All that is missing now is the Jesuit lizards driving the black helicopters using a Sasquatch as a co-pilot.
In terms of Sabbatarianism, Veith provides nothing new of substance we have not seen before, and answers nothing we have argued in reply. His major mistake is supposing that Sunday is regarded as a "Christian sabbath." Other than this, it is hard to give Veith much credence as a researcher when he adheres to such absurd notions as that the Christmas tree is derived from pagan practices (a matter we discussed in the E-Block exactly three years ago).
In sum, while truth may matter to Veith, it seems clear that he doesn't have enough gumption or discipline to ensure exactly what it is.

Hello all my beautiful readers!! I am sorry for being MIA (Missing In Action) for so long.. The past month has been quite a roller coaster ride for me in terms of my personal life. Too many things happening at the same time, lost a very dear person in the family, work!
To top it off, the weather is so weird these days..sometimes it's cold, sometimes it's hot..all this just made me feel like putting a blanket on my head and going back to sleep!
Anyways, enough of my sob story..! The main thing is that I am back and how!
One of my favorite online shopping websites, Jabong.com, is co-sponsoring Lakme Fashion Week this year and is giving all the creative minds out there a chance to showcase their talent at the show!
All we have to do is create looks with all the gorgeous stuff available on the website and Jabong will select the winners based on creativity and style! Moreover, those looks will be recreated at the Jabong studio and showcased at the show!! So cool!
I was super pumped up when I got to know about the contest and could not wait to start creating looks!
Every participant is allowed to submit upto 3 entries and I will be sharing mine in 3 separate posts.
So today I will show you the first look I created. This look is casual and chic, perfect for a day out with friends or for shopping. With the coming summer, this look will ensure that you remain cool and look stylish at the same time!
Pastels and maxis are going to be a hit this spring/summer and what better than to combine the two in this adorable maxi dress!
The cotton material will keep you cool and the sexy back cut will add to oomph factor! You can throw on a denim jacket if you wish to add layers to your look or give it that edge.
Pair this look with a tan sling bag, tan sandals with a bit of gold bling effect, big chunky watch and a statement neckpiece like this chain necklace and you are ready for the perfect day out, looking oh-so-stylish!
This look is so complete in itself that it does not even need much makeup to balance it. Just line your eyes with a black eyeliner, a bright coral lippie, some coral blush and tie your hair in a top knot or a side plait.
I personally love this look and wear such outfits a lot myself!
What do you all think? Would you wear something like this? I would love to hear from you!

Subway Restaurants Marketing Situational Analysis Case Study
Executive Summary
Subway Restaurants is the leading submarine sandwich franchise in the United States and the world with 20,532 restaurants worldwide located in 72 countries. Restaurant locations continue to increase year over year from an annual rate of 4 percent in 1999 to 14 percent in 2003. Brand recognition grows as market geographically expands. The new Tuscany Décor reinforces the idea of a fresh, healthy and great tasting menu items. Recent additions such as the Atkins friendly sandwich wraps should establish a stronger association between just good tasting fast food to now healthy tasting fast food as concerns continue to grow about the increasing obesity problems.
A diverse menu continues to provide a healthy alternative to burger chains which continues to support overall growth. Target markets continue to include individuals with incomes over $55,000, students, and young professionals in high population centers, and individuals concerned with their health including the overweight.
With over control of over 59 percent of the market, Subway's closest competitor continues to remain Quizno's. Concern over their ability to erode Subway's customer base from older franchise "no frills" restaurants is a concern. A newer addition to the submarine sandwich market is Burger King with their various grilled chicken submarine sandwiches on baguettes. With over 11,000 restaurants, this could develop into a major threat.
Recommendations include focusing marketing survey studies on the ability of Quizno's and Burger King to erode customer base. Further evaluation is needed concerning the results of trial direct marketing of coupons through text messaging. The response rate for the 800 text messages sent out for free Subway sandwiches was 8 percent. This is greater than the average response to paper coupons and could be a great avenue to target the technology dependant target market.

Beckham, who won six Premier League titles with Manchester United and a La Liga crown with Real Madrid, captured his first MLS championship in his final match of his five-year deal.
Beckham has been heavily linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain but was unsure on his next move following his triumph.
"I'm glad all the hard work of the season paid off," he said. "I play the game to win. Whether I stay or not I've had an amazing five years."
While it could become a Hollywood ending to Beckham's time in America, it was another former Premier League star who had a hand in the winning goal.
Robbie Keane set up Landon Donovan for the 72nd minute goal which was enough to secure the victory for the Galaxy.
The triumph put the finishing touches to a season in which the Galaxy produced the best regular-season record in the league and were unbeaten at home.
When the final whistle blew, Beckham wrapped his arms around Donovan and lifted him off his feet in celebration.
Donovan paid tribute to his "warrior-like" team mate, saying Beckham injured a hamstring earlier in the week and was "playing on one leg."
Beckham himself was just happy to claim the title so widely predicted when he arrived Stateside to great fanfare in 2007.
"It's about time," said Beckham, who could yet have a sequel with the Galaxy if team officials can persuade him to return.

Switch up the Halloween treats you give out to all those little trick-or-treaters this year and give them something spooky like the Forkz Eyeball Lollipops.

Nothing gets you down like a drippy faucet. This beautiful Moen high-arc kitchen faucet dripped when the water was turned off. The weight on the pull-out hose didn't seem to be working either to retract and hold the pull-down spout in place. I talked to my plumber about it and he suggested requesting some replacement parts from 1-800-BUY-MOEN. So I gave it a try.

Built-In Raised Laundry Platform
We bought a front load washer and dryer 5 years ago when we built our home. Instead of paying the $600 for washer & dryer pedestals (which are nice for raising the height of the washer and dryer as well as providing storage), I built a raised platform in our laundry room out of left-over building materials I already had. Raising front load washers and dryers makes doing laundry more ergonomic, with less bending over. I recently built a raised laundry platform in another home that improved upon my origional design by adding tile, cubbies for laundry bins below and additional built-in storage shelving.

Samsung Patents 'Double-sided' Smartphone
Samsung may be working on a "double-sided" smartphone in which the display covers almost half of the back of the device.
Samsung Display has filed a patent application for its "double-sided" display smartphone to the United States Patent and Trademark Office in September, 2016 and the USPTO published the patent on Wednesday.
The phone comes with a touchscreen display that goes from the front all the way to the rear side of the device covering almost half of the back.
Chinese Meizu has introduced the Pro 7 dual-screen smartphone series in July, featuring a second display. However, the Meizu smartphone features two separate touchscreen displays, while the Samsung patent shows one big screen, which is 180 degree rounded at the side of the device.
As always, patent applications don't necessarily mean the technology will be in use anytime soon. Companies often file patents as a marketing technique or simply to stop competitors working on certain ideas.

Duplicated BBC channels since retune
I am having a peculiar problem .. I've been using W7 Media Centre for a couple of years without incident, but since the recent retune I'm having problems with some channels, mostly BBC (I suspect it's just a single multiplex) being repeated in the channel list. Only one of the repeated channels actually receives a signal.
Moving up & down the channels is odd, if there are two channel 1's for instance, down from BBC 2 gets no signal, down again shows BBC 1. At present, in fact, I have three instances of BBC1 and BBC2.
I have tried clearing the configuration right down by removing the channel data (found some instructions to delete the database) and retuned, but the multiple channels keep on coming back over time.
Anybody else spotted this and know what the cause is?

I don't use media centre - but there is an analogue switch off going on right now - might be causing odd issues.

Sorry, I should have said, this is all digital freeview.. I don't tune in to the analogue channels at all.

The duplicate channels with no signal are from adjacent regions. In the guide, right click and disable unwanted channels. Once you have WMC set up as you like it, you can stop retunes by going into Registry Editor (type regedit in search box) and finding the entry
hkey_local_machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media Center\Service\BackgroundScanner
and setting
PeriodicScanIntervalSeconds Dword = 7FFFFFFF
PeriodicScanEnabled Dword = 0

That sounds very plausible, I'll certainly give that a try.
Thank you!!

I have the same problem- after the last digital retune (analogue now gone) I have 2 of all BBC channels.
I too thought they were picking up 2 transmitters ( I live between Sandy Heath and Waltham) But even if I put in my location as SG19 2NH (the postcode of the Sandy Heath transmitter, I still get 2 of all BBC channels.
Although I think there have been many improvements in W7, tuning is not one of them. It would help if you could get some transmitter info in the guide to help eliminate the duplicates (eg right click or on mouse over)
|My System Specs

A few months ago the complete setup of the digital frequencies in the London region was changed. You will have to delete all the channels and re-tune again to get the new ones.
|My System Specs
|17 Jun 2012
Yep ,,, done that. Complete reset, deleted databases , edited registry, full setup again and guess what - duplicate channels
|My System Specs
|17 Jun 2012
I just noticed. I have some duplicates also but they are unchecked in the Edit Channels screen in Settings so don't show in the guide.

I think that it all depends on whereabouts in the country you live. In some places, you can receive signals from more than one transmitter. For example, here in Doncaster we can receive signals from 2 transmitters, namely Emley Moor and Belmont. Most of the programs are identical, and the main difference is the regional news program/bulletin. Our main transmitter is Belmont, so on both of our TVs (one with a set-top box, the other integrated) receive BBC1 from there on Channel 1. However, the regional news is centred on Hull, whereas Sheffield/Leeds is more relevant to us. This comes from the Emley Moor transmitter. Here lies an anomaly. The channel number for this is different on both TVs (admittedly, they are not on the same aerial). Go figure.

Capt. W.W. Nixon
Posted By: Sharyl Ferrall (email)
Date: 5/31/2006 at 06:04:32
Nixon -- Sunday Morning, May 21, W.W. Nixon, the only surviving brother of the late J. Sharpe Nixon of this place, and well-known here, died at his home in Boone, Iowa. A Boone paper says of him:
He had been troubled for some time with asthma, although he has been active in life almost up to the time of death. But about a month ago he was compelled to leave his work and the final sickness set in. The deceased was born in Chambersburg, Pa, in 1825. He was afterward a resdient of Ohio, where he enlisted his services in the cause of the Union, being promoted successively to the rank of lieutenant and captain. After the war he came to Iowa and lived four years in Nevada, when he came to Boone in 1869. He has since resided here, with the exception of two or three years, when he resided in Pierre, Dak., and Pueblo. This was about five years ago, when he again returned to Boone, as the climate did not seem to agree with him. Mr. Nixon was among our first mayors. He was four years collector of internal revenue for this district, being appointed by U.S. Grant. He was councilman for a time and recently clerk and librarian, which position he had to give up on account of poor health. In every capacity he served faithfully, a man of sound judgment and unquestioned integrity. Capt. Nixon was a prominent worker in the W.C. Crooks G.A.R. post. He was a Mason, and an Odd Fellow, and all three of the societies were called together to attend his funeral, which was held at the residence Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Rev. W.P. Payne of Nevada, formerly of Boone, preached a short sermon. The deceased leaves a widow and four children, all grown. They are Mr. Will Nixon, of Boston; Mrs. Fannie Barndollar, of Pueblo; Mrs. Susie Moore, of Des Moines, and Mrs. Anna L. Streit, of Pueblo.
-source of this obit is unknown, as is the year. I believe it is from an out of state paper, because it was in with some other obituaries in my gg-aunt's genealogy files. All of the other obits in the folder were from Pennsylvania. Neither do I know of a family relationship to any of the families I am researching. I checked calendars ... Sunday, May 21st was in both 1893 and 1899, also the time-period of the other obits in the file.
If you can date this obit, please let either me or the Boone co. coordinator know so it can be added. Thank-you.

Hello to all our lovely blog readers!
How are you? I hope you're all enjoying the summer. Isn't this weather amazing?! I am scorching hot and my feathers are in a fluster trying to keep cool but I'm not complaining. Hot feathers are better than soggy feathers, don't you agree?
Well, we've had a very exciting month here at Gypsy Wood Park. All of us animals and our friends have had the chance to be film stars for the day, can you believe it? We've had the brilliant Owain Llyr here with us to film and produce a virtual tour of the park, and working on a film set is so much fun. I'd like to say a huge thank you and a big shout out to Owain Llyr for producing the brilliant virtual tour. You can have a sneak preview below.....
Apart from being film stars, we've been busy with all our lovely visitors. All of us animals have loved meeting lots of new friends and faces. Woody's train is well and truly up and running and we've heard that everyone has really enjoyed it, with lots of people excited about the new ride.
And I've been having lots of fun with all the lovely visitors on the castle play-fort and zip wire. Who knew a little chicken like me could have so much fun, and it's so great to meet lots of new friends!
Sadly, one of our little pigs, Bluebell, has been a bit under the weather with a poorly leg. Poor Bluebell... but thankfully our lovely vet has been looking after her, and she will be on the mend soon.
Mini-Bobby and I have also been doing a lot of county shows and fairs, always entered into the poultry category. We love getting out and about on adventures, so it's brilliant to get to do exciting things like that! We do a special chicken boogie for good luck before we leave for each show. We'll keep you updated on our next win - it's bound to be soon, hehehe.
And just one other exciting bit of news for you - Mr Islwyn Jones from the fantastic Pen y Bryn Falconry will be with us on the 16th August from 12-3.30pm. This amazing falconry display will show the incredible control between man and bird, and there will be lots of opportunities to get involved. Here's a sneak preview......
It'd be great to have a good crowd to cheer on Islwyn and his beautiful creatures, so spread the word and come and join us! You won't want to miss it!
That's it from me Bobby and him Mini-Bobby! Don't forget to come down and see us soon. This year we'll be closing on the 14th September, so that's just 40 little days away. Boohoo, I don't want to think about closing already - still way to much fun to be had and boogying to be done before then.
See you sooooooooooooooooooon,
Lots of love

EXCERPT:"Don't be afraid," she said in a sultry voice. "You want to help us. All you have to do is unlock these cells and let us out."
"I would but I don't have the key," he said, his eyes locked on hers, looking like a love-sick puppy.
There was a collective sigh of disappointment behind her.
"Who does?" she asked.
"Dexter has it," he confessed eagerly.
"Is there any way that you can get the key for us?"
"Uhhh, I don't know," he said. "He keeps it hidden in his office and no one is allowed in there. I will gladly try."
She frowned. Why did we just assume this automaton would have the key? This really put a damper on their plans.
"Ask him what we're doing in here," Sebastian whispered.
"Right, why are we locked up in here?" she asked the oaf.
"Because, you four are the Bound Ones, from the legend," he said as if it was simple and obvious.

I live in fear this will happen to me although that fear is what keeps me aware of my surroundings. It happens all the time – the dreaded cell phone ring. During a meeting, a movie, a play, etc. At the movies is my peeve and I've heard one go off at a play before. The only thing worse then a cell phone ringing in places it shouldn't is the awful ignorance someone would posses to actually answer it. I've heard that before too.
Imagine how it would have felt if your cell went off at the New York Philharmonic! Imagine if they stopped the show and confronted you for it? Ouch!
The conductor, Alan Gilbert, halted the performance. He reportedly asked the gentleman whether it would go off again. The gentleman replied that it wouldn't. Gilbert then reportedly addressed the audience: "I apologize. Usually, when there's a disturbance like this, it is best to ignore it, because addressing it is sometimes worse than the disturbance itself. But this was so egregious that I could not allow it."
It was handled a little differently during a performance at the Orthodox Jewish synagogue in Presov, Slovakia.

The hungry space monkey goes to school on the moon.
He's a very hungry monkey. Yes he is. For the moon is made of cheese. And the hungry space monkey doesn't like cheese. Gleek has a taste for brains. He opens the airlock and sneaks
past the jungle gym into the galactic tree canopy where the view of the giant brainoid aliens was easiest. Gleek scratched his
fleek. Which, if you know anything about Deeks, was a real bleak peak at a freak. But Gleek the space monkey decided to do a surprise visit on Superman and Hawkwoman
and caught them, in flagrante delicto, cooking up meth in Hawkwoman's bathtub. "Ha!" shouted Gleek, pointing an accusatory finger. Superman blushed. "You ain't no Heisenbergs."
The Heisenbergs were, some three years later, still cooking up meth in Hawkwoman's bathtub. It was very profitable. Superman didn't know what to do, so he asked Lois Lane.
"Are you asking me as Superman or as Clark Kent", asked Lois Lane as she folded Clark's underwear and Superman's Unionsuit. "Both", was their/his reply. "The Heisenbergs are an unc
outh bunch that wear lead underwear that I can't penetrate with my X-ray vision," said Superman. "Look, Clark…I mean Superman," said Lois, "the Heisenbergs are friends of mine, and
we have to prevent them from boarding the Hindenberg." "I'm sorry, Lois," replied Superman, "but I am not permitted to change history again. I have demerits." Lois picked up the
can of Raid & desperately tried to stop the swarm of mosquitos. A few succumbed but the rest started biting the passengers. Of course, You-Know-Who is bullet AND sting proof, so…

Skellan's Enemy Within
Altdorf is the capital of the Reikland. It is situated at the confluence of the Reik and the Talabec. Where the waters meet and mix sediment forms extensive mudflats and small islands upon which much of the city stands. The city is renowned as the centre of religious and secular power in the Empire, being the site of both the Imperial Palace and the Holy Temple of Sigmar. The Emperor, the Grand Theogonist, the Supreme Patriarch, and a number of other important authorities live in the city. Altdorf is a centre of learning, home to the College of Engineers, the University of Altdorf, and the Colleges of Magic.
The city is well defended, surrounded by tall white walls topped with roofs of red slate. The city has a large garrison and is home to a number of knightly orders, as well as the famous Reiksguard Knights. A great many wizards live in Altdorf, and are tolerated here more readily than elsewhere in the Empire due to the presence of the Colleges of magic.
The army of Altdorf wears a uniform of blue and red.

I grew up very shy (I know, quit laughing friends). Was it due to my needing glasses even before I got them at 10 or to the fact that at that same age of 10, I was already within an inch of my total height or was it my love of reading? Whatever the explanation, I absolutely hated speech class; had to come a bit out of my shell when I did my student teaching, but it was only as a middle-aged adult that I started interacting more with the world of people surrounding me.
I even had a reputation as "stuck up" in high school – no one ever guessed that I was simply too afraid of talking to anyone as I kept my nose in the air or in a book.
Once I started however, I couldn't stop: hopefully I also listen as much as I talk.
This propensity to talk to most anyone, most anywhere (except whilst travelling, for some reason that is when I again regress and try actively not to talk to my seat partner: I'll opt for the single seat if I can and if not keep my eyes shut to prevent too much nosiness) has led me to some of the most fascinating people.
Stories lie behind the facades of such ordinary-looking people: you never know if the cash register girl might not have fled from her home country as a young child, braving kilometres and dangers that we have no knowledge of; if the elegant looking older man might not have been in the cavalry of some distant country; if the sloppily dressed person might not be a physician of renown. Even if such is not the case, most have a story to tell: even those who have never left the villages in which they grew up have a wealth of history and culture to which many of us can only aspire.
In just the past months I have met a former ambassador's wife (you think your life is exciting, how about being bombed at home – and we're talking about in the USA); a family member of a prominent politician; someone who has actually met and conversed with people that I admire; the couple I shared the cable car with who live just around the corner of my first flat in Geneva; the lady walking her dog who, at one point, lived across the ocean from where we were now, but in the same city as my little sister; the young man who is home on vacation from his humanitarian job overseas. One would never guess from looking at any of them, the wonderful and full lives that they have led.
So, don't hesitate, engage conversation – you never know what you might not learn, whom you might not meet: living at its best is an exchange with those who inhabit our planet.

TIaRT: The Biggest Transition of My Life.
I share a story that I never though would be my life. I never imagined any of the things in my life would happen to me, and that I would be 'that girl', but through it all running has helped me grow and reflect on so many different aspects of my life, that without it, I don't even know where I would be today. I begin with a background.
My sophomore year of high school, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. She was on and off treatment including chemotherapy and radiation all throughout my high school and beginning of my college years. She was never horribly sick, but she was tired, and took many more naps and cut back on her 40 hour work weeks volunteering at the Christian school I went to growing up. If any of you met my mom, you would know instantly that she was a fighter. She was so stubborn and she bullied the cancer to have her life stay as consistent as it was before she was diagnosed.
I went to many doctor appointments with her, and once I moved away to college, we became very close. This time really allowed me to see the core of my mom, the person she was, her beliefs, her thoughts, and her wishes and it made me see who I wanted to become.
In March of 2006, the doctor came back after some testing and told her and my father that she had three to six months to live. Three weeks later she passed away. I spent those last three weeks in an abyss of artificial smiles and complete confusion. I had no idea what was happening, or how I would handle everything, and once the reality hit, she was already gone.
I was exhaustively lost after that happened. I had been running every year in high school and off and on in college. I completely stopped running. I stopped functioning. I couldn't get one foot to go in front of the other, none the less make my legs follow. I couldn't sleep. I couldn't eat. Everything had lost flavor and I had lost interest in life.
One day, I decided that it was time that I stop wallowing in my confused state, and get my life back together. I was still going to school at the time, and decided that I had to finish out the semester, after dropping one class. I finished my 18 units, but I was still very lost.
I felt like I didn't want to run because it was something I did when my mom was alive. Though I absolutely hated her at my cross country races, and I hated her watching me run track, and even hated her watching me sit the bench while on the soccer team, I wanted her there for me. I wanted to know she would be there when I got home from my run. I wanted to see her again and I felt like running was something that I couldn't do again, it wasn't apart of me anymore.
It came to me one morning. I needed it. I wanted it still. I wanted the consistency, and I wanted the control. This was when I went out once again, and found the comfort of the road under my feet. The first run I completed after she passed was a short three miler, and once I got under the cover of the brush around me, I broke down and just cried as I ran, but nothing had ever felt so good. I had consistency again, I had a path in front of me, and I had something that no one could ever take away from me.
I had breath in my lungs and with tears streaming down my cheeks, I just ran. I allowed myself to hurt, and to feel again, and I allowed myself to think. To think about the changes, about the future. It was a time of thinking. After that run, I didn't run again for a while, life got in the way, but since then, I have realized that running through the hardest times in your life, gives you something that you control. You can do it. You can come back to it. You can make a change, but you have to choose too.
So granted, I also went to counseling, and did a lot of prayer during this time, obviously, but I know, without running the biggest transition of my life wouldn't have led me to the story I have today, to the outlook I have today, or the attitude I have today. So many people tell me they are so sorry, and I am sorry too, but I can't change that, and I am lucky that I got to see a great example of what I want to become one day, and learn so many life lessons at such a young age.
Sometimes I look back at my short life thus far, and think about things that could have changed, or could be different, but I know that God had this all happen for a reason, so I got it to take it and run with it. :)

What a beautiful and touching post, Danica. Your Mom's memory, fighting spirit and toughness is with you and you prove it was her gift to you on every run you take. She would be so proud of the strong woman you have become. Bravo. Keep on running strong!

Definitely an emotional post but thanks for sharing. It is nice to see that others have gotten through tough times by running. Without running I don't think any of us would be who we are today. Good luck with everything!!

Wow, what a powerful post!
You have found in running an amazing ability to draw strength.
You also have a gift for expression and your words are very moving:
"This was when I went out once again, and found the comfort of the road under my feet."
"I had consistency again, I had a path in front of me, and I had something that no one could ever take away from me.
Thank you.

This is so hard to read, because I can't imagine going through it and also because my mom had breast cancer, too. I was in middle school and my dad and my mom really tried to keep all of us kids from knowing anything about what was going on b/c they thought they were protecting us. I wish I could go back and go with my mom to the doctors as scary as it must have been. I'm so blessed that she got through it and that she is still with me today. I really thank you for your post and think it is just really heavy to hold on to and must really make you who you are today. I don't know what else to say, just all of my heart goes out to you.

This brought tears to my eyes. I am so sorry for what you had to go through (and still do) with losing your mom. As someone who is very close and best friends with her mom too, I can't imagine what that tragedy was like. You are a brave person to talk about it. Thank you for sharing. Her memory will always stay alive through you!

I was starting to hold my breath before I finished the second paragraph. I was a senior in high school when my mom was diagnosed with cancer. She died before graduation. I lost my sister to breast cancer in 2001. I know that lost feeling all too well. And yet, life goes on, and we must go on, too.

Thank you for sharing Danica. I too lost a parent (my father) about 4 years ago. Thankfully like yourself, I found a positive way to channel my grief and anger in running.
One foot in front of the other. Day after day. Stay strong, and don't forget to smile along the way.

I started reading your blog through "I signed up for this?" and this was a very nice post dedicated to your Mom. My Mom died in 2000-funny, she battled cancer 3 times in her life, colon, breast and cervical, made it through them all but eventually died from a broken heart. Her and my Dad were going to retire to a place up north and live happily ever after. My Dad was diagnosed in 1993 w/lung cancer which mets to his liver and brain and within 6 months of diagnosis-he was gone. My Mom made it for 7 years after that hard day. I had my son 2 years after my Dad died and once he grew up and no longer needed "grandma" to babysit, she eventually just gave up due to missing my Dad sooo much that on the eve of what would have been their wedding anniversary-we let her go peacefully to him. I then felt completely LOST. SHIT, now I'M the grown up! I didn't want that-I wanted my Mom to always be there as she was while I was growing up (she never worked) and to not have her there to call sucked. I got huge over the years and one day I seen an image of myself in the TV reflection which totally was her. She was very obese and and that's where I was headed--fast. I got my shit together and now this past summer I did my first triathlon! I do it because I want to be here with my son for as long as possible. Now I just enjoy my healthy and happy lifestyle soooo much, I will never give it up. I plan to go my first 1/2 marathon on May 17th! I feel fantastic and I often think of both my parents-knowing that they are both very proud of me from above! Running was hard for me, never thought I would get the knack, now I love it. I love my life, I love my family. The best things in life are right in front of me everyday!

Hey girl,
I just read this tonight because I found your blog way past when you wrote this. I want to say that this post moved me and I am even more motivated to run. Honestly, I come to your blog at random times - not really when you have a new post - to motivate myself to get out there and run.
Thank you for having such a great and powerful blog :-)
- March 2, 2009 at 9:25 PM
I just happened upon your blog tonight and have been reading all your amazing entries. First off I lost my mom when I was 19 to colon cancer. So I know how hard it is to put your feet on the ground and keep going. And second of all I am training in Louisville Ky with "Team in Training" for the Rock and Roll Marathon in San Diego. I however will be walking in memory of "Chloe Newman" my friends 7 year old daughter that pasted away in June 2008 after 39 months of fighting Leukemia.

Danica, this post touched my heart so much. When I first came across your blog and saw your profile picture I felt impressed because I think that running takes so much discipline and commitment but to understand that why behind it...that makes is powerful. I am going through some challenges in my life right now and I feel like you set such an inspiring example of how to push through those times by channeling your energy in positive ways. You are a beautiful woman with incredible strength and courage. God bless you!

I lost my mother in a freak accident when I was a freshman in college, so, I kinda sorta semi understand your feelings. I am so sorry for your loss, as I know how painful that is. I'm glad you were able to "re-find" running. After I lost my mom I put all my energy into working out, running, controlling something. It backfired a bit, but, now, years later, I think I've found a balance.
Thank you for sharing.

I have been reading some of your posts and found this one very touching.
I lost someone I loved very much last year to cancer. I remember going for a short run the day that Kelly died and crying through the entire run.
I love the final comment about taking what God has given you and running with it.
Thanks for sharing.

Abstract (provisional)Background
The recent access to a large set of genome sequences, combined with a robust evolutionary scenario of modern monocot (i.e. grasses) and eudicot (i.e. rosids) species from their founder ancestors, offered the opportunity to gain insights into disease resistance genes (R-genes) evolutionary plasticity.Results
We unravel in the current article (i) a R-genes repertoire consisting in 7883 for monocots and 15758 for eudicots, (ii) a contrasted R-genes conservation with 23.8% for monocots and 6.6% for dicots, (iii) a minimal ancestral founder pool of 384 R-genes for the monocots and 150 R-genes for the eudicots, (iv) a general pattern of organization in clusters accounting for more than 60% of mapped R-genes, (v) a biased deletion of ancestral duplicated R-genes between paralogous blocks possibly compensated by clusterization, (vi) a bias in R-gene clusterization where Leucine-Rich Repeats acts as a 'glue' for domain association, (vii) a R-genes/miRNAs interome enriched toward duplicated R-genes..Conclusions
Together, our data may suggest that R-genes family plasticity operated during plant evolution (i) at the structural level through massive duplicates loss counterbalanced by massive clusterization following polyploidization; as well as at (ii) the regulation level through microRNA/R-gene interactions acting as a possible source of functional diploidization of structurally retained R-genes duplicates. Such evolutionary shuffling events leaded to CNVs (i.e. Copy Number Variation) and PAVs (i.e. Presence Absence Variation) between related species operating in the decay of R-genes colinearity between plant species.

Abstract (provisional)Background
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) establishes a beneficial symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. The formation of the mycorrhizal association in the roots leads to plant-wide modulation of gene expression. To understand the systemic effect of the fungal symbiosis on the tomato fruit, we used RNA-Seq to perform global transcriptome profiling on Moneymaker tomato fruits at the turning ripening stage.
Fruits were collected at 55 days after flowering, from plants colonized with Funneliformis mosseae and from control plants, which were fertilized to avoid responses related to nutrient deficiency. Transcriptome analysis identified 712 genes that are differentially expressed in fruits from mycorrhizal and control plants. Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis of these genes showed 81 overrepresented functional GO classes. Up-regulated GO classes include photosynthesis, stress response, transport, amino acid synthesis and carbohydrate metabolism functions, suggesting a general impact of fungal symbiosis on primary metabolisms and, particularly, on mineral nutrition. Down-regulated GO classes include cell wall, metabolism and ethylene response pathways. Quantitative RT-PCR validated the RNA-Seq results for 12 genes out of 14 when tested at three fruit ripening stages, mature green, breaker and turning. Quantification of fruit nutraceutical and mineral contents produced values consistent with the expression changes observed by RNA-Seq analysis.
This RNA-Seq profiling produced a novel data set that explores the intersection of mycorrhization and fruit development. We found that the fruits of mycorrhizal plants show two transcriptomic "signatures": genes characteristic of a climacteric fleshy fruit, and genes characteristic of mycorrhizal status, like phosphate and sulphate transporters. Moreover, mycorrhizal plants under low nutrient conditions produce fruits with a nutrient content similar to those from non-mycorrhizal plants under high nutrient conditions, indicating that AM fungi can help replace exogenous fertilizer for fruit crops.

NitroTech protein, a MuscleTech product, is a sports nutrition supplement primarily composed of whey protein concentrate along with such ingredients as creatine, cocoa powder and amino acids. Available in seven flavors, NitroTech protein can help build muscle but may also cause side effects. Consult a doctor before using NitroTech or any other supplements.
Gas and Bloating
The primary ingredient in NitroTech protein is whey protein concentrate, a protein source derived from dairy. This concentrate, along with all other dairy products, contain a sugar called lactose. Some people cannot properly digest lactose, a condition known as lactose intolerance. This may cause gas and bloating between 30 minutes and two hours after ingestion.
High Blood Pressure
One of the added ingredients in NitroTech protein is creatine, an amino acid that can improve your workout performance. This happens because your body can convert creatine into ATP, or adenosine triphosphate, a cellular energy source. While creatine can be beneficial, the University of Maryland Medical Clinic, UMMC, explains that supplementation of creatine may cause some side effects, such as high blood pressure.
Kidney Damage
Due to the high protein content and inclusion of creatine, NitroTech protein may cause or increase the severity of existing kidney damage. High-protein diets can cause or aggravate kidney damage, according to MayoClinic.com nutritionist Katherine Zeratsky, R.D., L.D. Each serving of NitroTech contains half the daily suggested intake of protein and MuscleTech recommends consuming three servings each day, which would deliver 150 percent of your daily protein requirement. Additionally, UMMC suggests that creatine may cause kidney damage.
Liver Dysfunction
Another risk of high-protein diets is the potential for liver problems, according to MayoClinic.com. UMMC explains that creatine use may also cause liver problems; thus, continued use of NitroTech may increase your risk of liver dysfunction.
NitroTech use may bring nausea, as creatine can trigger this effect. Also, if you are lactose intolerant, the whey protein concentrate may cause nausea as well. In addition, Drugs.com notes that soy lecithin, another NitroTech ingredient, may cause nausea. In some cases, it can also cause a severe allergic reaction that includes hives, swelling of your face and tongue or difficulty breathing.

Who says Disneyland is just for kids? Okay so the inspiration for this recipe did NOT come from a happy hour at a bar at all. It honestly came from one of the restaurants in Disneyland by the Pirate's of the Caribbean ride. I of course did not have the monte cristo sandwich because it was not vegan, but my brother sure seemed like he enjoyed it (jerk) and I was admittedly jealous of his fried sandwich…
…so I decided to make my own vegan monte cristo later that week at home. PUT THAT IN YOUR PIPE AND SMOKE IT!! I've got to say though, that it is definitely NOT good that I have gone so far as to fry an entire sandwich. It gave me all sorts of confidence that I can fry just about anything. My head got pretty big and I half jokingly told wife-unit that I would fry a piece of pizza next. She laughed and said something that I didn't really hear because…
Vegan Monte Cristo Sandwiches (makes 2 sammiches)
- 2/3 cup water
- 1 egg replacer equivalent of 1 egg
- 2/3 cup all purpose flour (I used whole wheat)
- 1 3/4 tsps baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 4 slices of soft sandwich bread
- 4 slices of 'ham' vegan deli meat
- 4 slices of 'turkey' vegan deli meat
- 4 slices mozzarella Daiya (this recipe will be difficult to do with shredded but is def do-able because I've done it)
- 1 tbsp organic powdered sugar
- Raspberry/your favorite jam (optional but…YUM)
- vegetable oil for frying
- toothpicks
Heat the vegetable oil in a pan to 350 degrees.
Mix the first five ingredients in a medium/large mixing bowl and set aside.
Put the sandwiches together like so: bread, vegan ham, daiya, vegan turkey, bread. Cut each sandwich into quarters and put a toothpick through each to hold it together.
Dip each quarter sandwich into the batter and completely coat. Fry the sandwiches in the oil until lightly browned and then set on a paper towel covered plate to cool.
REMOVE THE TOOTHPICKS!!!! Because you don't want to eat those.
Lightly dust the tops of the sandwiches with the powdered sugar. If you choose to, and I recommend it, top each sandwich with a light layer of jam and then eat while still warm. SO GOOD!

Oh. No. You. Didn't.
Okay. I totally have to make this now!
I've never had a Monte Cristo but now I want one! And your posts are so entertaining, love 'em!
Awesome. As are all these other recipes you've posted. I can't wait to try some of these… btw… I have tried battered/deep fried pizza before many years ago. It's actually really nice!! Albeit, it's stupidly fattening but… yeah now my mouth is watering. They call it the pizza crunch… Why not make a vegan recipe for it? =)
There is a rule that things that taste great are not healthy and things that taste horrible are very good for you. I am certain that there are no exceptions to this rule. However, this "sandwich" has taken things to the extreme. Not only does it require fake meat but includes jam and sugar and then deep fried. This must have more calories and badness than the baddest fattest Bigmac burger. I applaud your bravery, lets show the carnivors what we can do. I wish I was still in my teens and had the courage and conviction not only to make such a monster, but to eat it. By law it must taste so, so good. At first I was physically shocked, but now I am jealous.
In Scotland they deep fry Snickers bars and Ice-cream, but I guess that is old hat now Why not go the whole hog and make a deep fried pizza recipe. With chips of course!
Go on! lets break-away from this organic lentil carob cup cake raw salad vegan image. Lets have some food with balls!
Is this xtreme-vegan cuisine?
Pre-vegan I indulged in the actual Blue Bayou Monte Cristo :cue angelic singing: and was really bummed I wouldn't be able to partake on our upcoming trip to Disneyland. But now I can make my own fried sandwich, roll it in powdered sugar, and dip it in jam! Sweet! And fried!
This looks super delicious. I am excited to have a taste of this.
Refined sugar and powdered sugar contain bone ash – not vegan. But this is certainly something I would love to try some day!
Robin, everyone kind of hates people like you. I'm sure there are vegan options for both refined sugar and powdered sugar in the USA, just like there are in the UK.
Caz, so true! Also- I can't wait to make this.
I just made these!!! OMG!!! So rich and it totally ruined my diet =P
Oh. My. Dog.
I just bet myself 20 bucks there wouldn't be a vegan Monte Cristo on the web! Oh my gosh, the deep-fat fried version (with "dipping sauce" – i think it was just pancake syrup ;-)) of my teens for grown-ups. Yummly!
I glanced up and saw the notes about sugar, and yes there are vegan sugars! It is so bizarre to me that sugar is still cut with bone. I mean, we have cars that park themselves. Why can't a machine or a human with a ….whateveri'msleepy do it?
Thanks for the recipe – this is extremely tempting!
Ooof – sorry about the excessive smilage. My pain meds just kicked in (:
@Caz, wow that was mean & unnecessary.
I think Robin is just sharing knowledge for people who are new to eating this way. I have felt looked down on and left out in vegan groups because i'm new – it's way more harmful & hurtful to put people down like that Many of us eat this way because we love animals, it should be taken for granted that we can be kind to each other. :/
No, Amy Lynn, I don't believe Caz was being mean and unnecessary. Even if he was, the internet is full of the mean and unnecessary. People like Robin are the reason I have to specify about the sugar EVERY TIME I POST A RECIPE. If a new vegan hasn't found the 26 billion references online I don't think one more in the comments sections is going to do it.
Thank You! As a very new vegan I was invite to dinner at a steakhouse (smh) with my family to celebrate my sister's birthday and say the monte cristo on the menu and was like NO! I loved this dish as a meat eater but refuse to go back and now i don't have too. I could careless about calories I just want to be happy and full!
First of all, WoW. Finally a vegan monte cristo. I will have to make that sometime. Might be having a '50′s party, I should make these if I have it. About the powdered sugar thing. I just put raw sugar in a coffee grinder for 10 seconds and voilà. Vegan powdered sugar.
~Lé Russe~
oh yum, I am so full I cannot move. Will have to halve the recipe next time. And make the batter just a touch thinner.
I am so glad I found this recipe. I found a few others but will probably never use them as this one is perfect.
I used daiya cheddar slices and shredded mozzarella. Not again, mozzarella only.
Thank you so much for sharing this!!!
You really make it seem so easy along with your presentation but I find this matter to be really one thing that I believe I
might never understand. It sort of feels too complicated and extremely huge for me.
I'm taking a look ahead for your next submit, I will try to
get the hold of it!

I am having an issue with my Windows 10 Pro on a Dell Optiplex 780 machine where every time I open a Windows Explorer window, doesn't matter what directory, I get the following error message: "Please insert the last disk of the multi-volume set and click OK to continue" I have not installed anything that has a multi-volume set or anything.
