I just signed up here and read elizpiz's review on her turbochef dual oven and I thought I'd share a bit of info on our new single model. Our stove has a normal oven under it so we only needed the single wall oven. The kitchen was renovated over the summer at our vacation house in rural New Hampshire. Because we always bring our food for the weekend and cook every meal there, I thought the high speed would come in handy. We're a family of 4 + about 4-8 guests most of the time. So far, I've only used the oven for one weekend: Thankgiving 2013 for 8 adults and 6 kids. We cooked a 22 lb turkey in 81 min and it came out slightly overdone, although not really dry. The outside was nicely browned and crispy. The bird was so big it was almost touching the top of the oven and the very outside there was like turkey jerky. The rest was very good and all I would do differently is take it out a bit sooner. I was afraid when the plastic popper thing hadn't popped at 78 min, so I gave it another 3 min - by then it had popped. Sweet potato casserole from the Turbochef cookbook was quite sweet, but great. Also the molten center chocolate cake kit that came w/the oven was perfect (<3 min cooktime). It made great crispy bacon in about 140 seconds (w/o smelling up the kitchen) and perfect english muffins in 2 min. We also made a meatloaf which ended up a bit dry because again I was afraid it wasn't done and I had it cook more ... which I regretted. Chicken nuggets for the kids came out hot & crispy in 90 seconds if I remember right. These times do not include the preheat time - which seems long when the cook times are so short. It was about 9 min to preheat for english muffins that toasted for just 2 min. If I want to wait 11 min min, I can just use a normal toaster. If I have a bunch of muffins then sure I'll use the TC. I agree w/the other review that the oven fan stays on a long time after you're done cooking. Our group was loud enough that it didn't matter, but if I'm the only one awake in the morning I don't want to listen to that fan for 20 min after making breakfast. I will embark on a more detailed cleaning adventure next weekend so I can't comment there. The oven is darkened on the top - mainly from the turkey. I would also say that the knob/wheel thing you turn to operate the oven is overly sensitive or something because it's very easy to make the wrong selection. I turn the knob to highlight potatoes and then press the knob to select it - but when I press it jumps up to the item above potatoes and selects that instead. I got better at it as the weekend went on. A touchscreen would be an improvement. The oven was very popular w/the guests and everyone couldn't believe the speed and quality of the food. I'm sure we'll discover how to perfect each recipe over time, but even right out of the gate, we had a super thanksgiving and a fun time with this oven. |

noun \ˈgi-dē-ən\Definition of GIDEON
: an early Hebrew hero noted for his defeat of the Midianites
: a member of an interdenominational organization whose activities include the placing of Bibles in hotel rooms
Origin of GIDEON
Hebrew Gidhʽōn
First Known Use: 1535
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Judge and hero of ancient Israel, whose deeds are described in the Old Testament Book of Judges. The book contains two versions of Gideon's story. In one account, he led his tribe of Manasseh in a victorious campaign against the Midianites, then fashioned an idolatrous image from the booty and led Israel into immorality. In another version, he replaced worship of the local deity, Baal, with that of Yahweh (the God of Israel), and the power of Yahweh enabled his tribe to destroy the Midianites.

We heart our readers. No, seriously we do.
Oh of course there's the snarkers - for whom a gaming web site which spewed forth exclusive news 24-7, free beta keys and a side serving of free 3D Blu-ray porn would still not be quite good enough.
Yet for every one of those there is usually ten more who are witty, intriguing and just downright insightful - and who make us look at our news in an entirely different way.
So by way of a tribute to these bold buccaneers of the comments section, we thought we'd repost the best of the reader responses from this week - the ones which made us laugh, cry, howl; scratch our heads thoughtfully or, indeed, our bums ruminatively.
Who knows? If this kind of thing proves popular, we might even do a comment of the week with a regular prize.
Feel free to nominate your recent favourites in this article's comments section below.
Halo Reach vs. God Of War III for GOTY? Not likely...
"I completely agree with the article, the undiscovered country is the real thrill. Franchises are great but you know what to expect. Who knows what new titles and indie games might rock the internet? No one. Except maybe Nostradamus, he's dead though."

Xbox 360 is "fully 3D capable"
"...but when I play games or watch TV, I've got my phone, I've got all kinds of things going on. I get up, I get down, I'm looking outside at the weather"
Well there ya have it kids... home 3D will never take off because you have a phone, and you get up and you 'get down' (dancing perhaps?) and need to check the weather.
In the history of gaming, TVs, technology, phones, chairs, dancing and humanity, has an excuse for something not becoming popular ever been so well thought out?

"Ooh, a field!"

Halo Reach "The biggest title of 2010"
"I'm pretty sure that Heavy Rain: The Origami Killer is a bigger title than Halo Reach. It has 3 extra words in it...."
jazzy_p takes a rather literal approach to Halo Reach claims
"Zzzzzzzz I got bored of Halo after the 2nd. And ODST was a lame over priced and short expansion pack. Having said that, Microsoft could sell s**t in a bag if it had Halo written on it."
Squall5005 invents a whole new Spartan-themed product line
"Its going to arrive in a 10ft high case with 6ft high writing on."
lonewolf2002 has clearly had an early look at the Reach Limited edition box set
Microsoft: 'There's no need to launch a new Xbox'
"I can't see Sony or Microsoft releasing a new console for at least another couple of years. They both have powerful hardware (being enhanced with add-ons). Nintendo on the other hand, I can see producing a HD based Wii this year."
Nintendo Christmas 2010:- Wii HD.
Microsoft 2012:- Xbox 3D, Live based console with built in Natal.
Sony 2012:- Playstation 4 with 3D space controllers.

The title Mound City is St. Louis's appellation in honor of the Mound culture that existed here a thousand years ago. The heart of this Mississippian culture's capital, located at Cahokia, adjacent to East St. Louis on the Illinois border, is where the bulk of the remaining mounds are found. This ancient city was the largest north of Mexico City, and like Hohokam in the southwest, the Mound builders dispersed (or disappeared) around 1400 CE. Although archaeology on the site continues to yield astonishing, and controversial, findings (such as evidence of human sacrifice), the presence of this early civilization is little felt in the surrounding area. Indeed, while the nation recently celebrated Lewis & Clark's historic voyage to find an uninterrupted water route to the West coast, the specifics of St. Louis's role in taming of the West is little examined.
St. Louis does celebrate its position as the "heart" of the country, ignoring its less palatable history—its erasure of its native past supplanted by European settlements, its current racial problems, a convoluted political system that precludes collaboration and resource sharing, a declining industrial base and environmental problems. It is this uncelebrated set of realities that we hope will be a rich vein for artistic exploration. Through Mound City, and other educational and curatorial initiatives, we intend to explore the interrelationship between art, history and nature in our 105 acres and historic gallery spaces.
Artists in the exhibition will explore traces of native culture in our contemporary world ranging in topics of disappearance and destruction, resurrection and monument. Artists include A Tribe Called Red (Ottowa), Sam Durant (Los Angeles), Geoffrey Krawczyk (New York), Beverly Pepper (Todi, Italy), Alison Saar (Los Angeles), Marie Watt (New York), among others. Mound City will also include our In Residence: Archeologists Joe Harl and Robin Machiran. Laumeier Sculpture Park is also co-curating a film series with Webster University focusing on films by native and indigenous filmmakers from around the globe.

This is a discussion on Debating Piers Morgan within the The Second Amendment & Gun Legislation Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; Originally Posted by chuckusaret Alex jones at least had the gonads to sit across from him in a debate. Do I agree with Alex's delivery, ...
Alex Jones haughty demeanor was what, in his opinion, was required to get his point across and it did. Was it the right way to go? Some say yes some say no, but it did get him and his message a lot of national exposure. Comparing Alex Jones to Howard Dean? Well Jones is a talk show host and outbursts can be expected, it is called an attention getter, and his comments are presented to a totally different audience. On the other hand Dean, as a politician, is expected to be well mannered and professional at all times, but he has proven, on many occasions over the years, to not have done so and has brought embarrassment to himself and to the democratic party. The outburst doing his presidential bid confirmed what many thought, Dean was a nut case and his supporters fled. Of late the democraps shy away from him as if he had the plague.

I think we would have been better represented by Ted or maybe Tom Selleck. But of course that is why his producers would never invite them to be on the show. Alex Jones gave Morgan and his people exactly what they were looking for.

Well Alex Jones is a shock-jock. That is his stick...his hook! Jones is to shock-jock conservatism radio programing what Howard Stern is to shock-jock sexual adult content radio programing.
This type of behavior is what you should expect to get if you invite Jones on your show. Just like you would expect Stern to be talking about adult sexual content.
Morgan already knew what to expect. His producer, writing and production staff already discussed this during their budget meeting. He was WELL informed about him well in advance. It's all about the Arbitron.

I found some good counter statistics here:
Piers Morgan Nailed On Incorrect Gun Homicide Stats | CNS News
Yoda, I am, yes.
I found this little tid bit about crime in England:
* In 1997, Britain passed a law requiring civilians to surrender almost all privately owned handguns to the police. More than 162,000 handguns and 1.5 million pounds of ammunition were "compulsorily surrendered" by February 1998. Using "records of firearms held on firearms certificates," police accounted for all but fewer than eight of all legally owned handguns in England, Scotland. the homicide rate in England and Wales has averaged 52% higher since the outset of the 1968 gun control law and 15% higher since the outset of the 1997 handgun ban.
What has the confiscation of 162,000 legally registered weapons accomplished? No mention of any illegal weapons being turned in. How about the crime rates increasing by 67% since the the laws were approved and the confiscation of all guns.
Piers may come across as a gentleman but he has intentionally not been truthful when stating data on crime in England. It is time to inundate CNN with e-mail/letters asking for the removal of Morgan. Based on CNN's continued decrease in the number of viewers each day I am sure that they would be more than happy to review any suggestions on how to stop the loss of viewers

Exactly. And if you are looking to advance your anti 2A agenda who better to have on your show to represent your opposition? Jones probably just tripled his name recognition. So he got what he wanted but at what expense? I believe his interests here are actually contrary to ours. If the threat of the jack booted storm troopers goes away so does a large part of his material, and his audience. As long as there are people that refer to us as paranoid extermists etc. he has a guaranteed income.

Dean showing passion, feeding off the excitement of attending supporters, got emotionally riled up and gave a little shout-out!! What?? Just because your running for political office you can show a little emotion, for what you believe in? Show a little LOVE for your Country? If he was such an embarrassment to the Donkey, how did Joe Biden become VP?
Now Jones vs Morgan are showman, fighting for viewing aspect ratings. Viewers watch and listeners listen to them to be entertained by these entertainers, masquerading as a normal news, media, radio, and TV hostess.
OK open mouth and insert foot: How did the poor Donkey become the logo of the Democrats? It's an insult to the intelligence of the Donkey!
When the goof ball Morgan says the US has more gun crime does he understand that most of our gun crime is In areas that have the toughest gun laws? Chicago, DC, NYC. He's an idiot.

While I posted this before, here:Top ten reasons: For Piers Morgan
This is how to shut Piers Morgan up...
Top 10 reasons Piers Morgan should support American citizens possession of "assault weapons" and Extended capacity magazines:
10: Because "An armed man is a citizen, and an unarmed man is a subject." Surely Piers, if anyone knows it's true, you do ...
9: Because, although Admiral Yamamoto of the Japanese navy in WWII never said "You cannot invade the mainland United States because there would be a gun behind every blade of grass." It should always be true. And those guns should be able to engage the enemy as well as the enemy's weapons might engage us.
8: Because, should our government ever become as corrupt as those in Tunisia, Egypt, Syria and Libya; our citizens should never be reduced to using social media with pictures of atrocities, genocides, murder and mayhem perpetrated by the government, hoping for the sympathy of the world's policemen.
7: Because, if we are to remain the super power we are and also be the world's policeman, with troops deployed in 150 countries around the world, we must never be vulnerable at home. Ordinary citizens may be the last line of defense, just as they are in Switzerland, and somebody has to be able to defend the homeland ... (and remember this one for later, Piers.)
6: Because 15 year old boys should always be able to protect their homes and their 13 year old sisters when home invaders kick in doors ... with their daddy's ARI5, and after shooting the invader several times with the evil assault weapon ... the perpetrator was able to get to his car and drive off.
5: Because when our police forces act as cowardly as British Bobbies during the London riots of 2011 just like our own Los Angeles police force did during the Rodney King riots of1992.. It is armed citizens, like those in Koreatown, with assault rifles; who are able to keep the looters, murderers, and arsonists at bay for nearly 24 hours, until the National guard forces finally show up to actually enforce the law.
4: Because, as looters were given free rein in New Orleans, Louisiana (after Katrina) while the police, in fear of the looters, did nothing; the police chief ordered his force and National guard troops to disarm the law abiding citizens of that city, and parts of the county .. .It must never happen again.
3: Because of ranchers like Mr Ladd of Arizona, who himself has seen over half a million illegal aliens CAUGHT on his property alone, coming from/through Mexico ... And he knows that Border Patrol agents have not all been beyond corruption, and that many many aliens have been let through the border while heads were turned. And he knows of aliens of 35 different nationalities that have been caught, nationalities which are considered to be a danger to the security of the United States ... and those are only the ones that have been caught.
2: Piers, this is the real number one reason that the people of this country should not be restricted from having what you and the rest of the anti-gun crowd mistakenly call "assault weapons" and extended magazines for those arms if they wish. But, in deference to your nationality, I've moved it to number two... It's really quite simple:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State,
the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
And finally, Piers, the NUMBER ONE REASON ordinary American citizens should be allowed to have assault weapons, and extended mags capable of holding more than 10 rounds; is for this if for no other. ..
1: Should England's Prime Minister ever again "make a clear appeal to the United States ... " for arms and ammunition as Churchill did in his "fight on the beaches" speech of June 4th 1940; and should the Civilian Committee for Protection of Homes in Birmingham, UK ever again ask the American Committee for Defense of British Homes for pistols, revolvers, shotguns, and binoculars ...
You might want to again count on the private American Citizens in the United States of America to take pity on you poor sods, and ship guns to you just as we did in 1941 in answer to an advertisement in The American Rifleman... the publication of the National Rifle Association.
Because after Dunkirk, there was some genuine concern whether the Brits would be able to defend their homeland should the Nazi's come across the channel.
It could be worse!
I suppose

Does anyone out there have experience working with Percherons or Shires? What is their disposition? Are they easy to work with? Confirmation problems? I know many people prefer Belgians for field work but I would like to try a different breed. I've worked with and trained light horses but not drafters. Thanks!
Guess it depends on what you want to do. The drafts as a whole tend to be pretty laid back. Reason being a rogue horse at twice the weight of a regular horse is 4x as dangerous. They will usually quickly be done away with one way or another. If you want to try your hand at driving find a an experience team of senior citizens. I know at this point in my life I'd love a pair that won't cut the hard work on an Amish farm but for the few things I need that power for an old age pensioner would be more than up to the job of twitching a few logs or plowing a small field.
Horses breed for hitch wagons generally tend to be a touch hotter. People want to see that high step and flair. Horses that did a lot of contest pulling hit the collar with a ton of power and an inexperienced person on the lines is going to become a pull toy or worse. High stepping doesn't do a thing for work. Wastes energy. Ripping the drivers arms out of his sockets is counter productive too.
The individual temperament matters more than the breed.

Help!! I have just started using my first-ever gas stove. I cooked sausages and then spent 1/2 hour cleaning!The heavy cast iron grates had to be removed and the whole stovetop had to be degreased. Is there such a thing as a splatter protector for the rest of the stovetop when I'm cooking something messy? I'm hoping I haven't made a mistake going to gas from electric. This clean-up issue is huge to me. Any suggestons? |

They do sell lids to catch the splatter. They are universal lids (to fit all sizes) and are made of a mesh that will let the steam escape but catch the splatters. They also sell little pie pan type lids to fit over the other burners you are not using. Buy a degreaser like Greased Lightning to clean up grease splatters. |
Also if I am making a big messy production ofs omething like fried food for the masses or a big batch ofsjelly, I will cover some of the cooktop with foil. If you clean up your grease spatters righta way they wont' become hardened....and any of the degreaser sprays works very well. Linda C |
thanks for that. I'm sort of wondering how to keep the other 3 burners and the cast iron grates from getting totally grease covered if I don't get the splatter screen on in time. (the family isn't always as careful)My old electric stove was much easier to keep clean on a daily basis. Maybe this is just one of those cases where I need to take time to get used to something new |

Upton Beall Sinclair, Jr. (September 20, 1878 – November 25, 1968), was an American author who wrote close to one hundred books in many genres. He achieved popularity in the first half of the twentieth century, acquiring particular fame for his classic muckraking novel, The Jungle (1906). It exposed conditions in the U.S. meat packing industry, causing a public uproar that contributed in part to the passage a few months later of the 1906 Pure Food and Drug Act and the Meat Inspection Act.[1] In 1919, he published The Brass Check, a muckraking exposé of American journalism that publicized the issue of yellow journalism and the limitations of the "free press" in the United States. Four years after the initial publication of The Brass Check, the first code of ethics for journalists was created.[2] Time magazine called him "a man with every gift except humor and silence."[3] In 1943, he won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.
Sinclair also ran unsuccessfully for Congress as a Socialist, and was the Democratic Party nominee for Governor of California in 1934, though his highly progressive campaign was defeated decisively.
Sinclair was born in Baltimore, Maryland to Upton Beall Sinclair and Priscilla Harden. His father was a liquor salesman whose alcoholism shadowed his son's childhood. Priscilla Harden Sinclair was a strict Episcopalian who disliked alcohol, tea, and coffee. Sinclair did not get along with her when he became older because of her strict rules and refusal to allow him independence. Sinclair told his son David that around his sixteenth year he decided not to have anything to do with her and stayed away from her for 35 years because a controversy would start if they met.[4] Her lineage was of great affluence. Her parents were very prosperous in Baltimore and her sister married a millionaire. Sinclair had wealthy grandparents with whom he often stayed. This gave him insight into how both the rich and the poor lived during the late nineteenth century. Living in two social settings affected him and greatly influenced his books. Upton Beall Sinclair Sr. was also from a highly respected family in the south, but due to the Civil War and Reconstruction, the family's wealth evaporated and the family became ruined.
Growing up, Upton Sinclair's family would move around continuously due to the fact that Sinclair Sr. wasn't successful. Sinclair Jr. developed a love for reading at an early age of five years old. He read every book that his mother owned for a deeper understanding of the world. In 1888, the Sinclair family moved to Queens, New York, where his father sold shoes and where Sinclair entered the City College of New York, five days before his fourteenth birthday.[5] He wrote jokes, dime novels and magazine articles in boy's weekly and pulp magazines to pay for his tuition.[6]
He graduated in 1897 and then studied for a time at Columbia University.[7] His major was Law, but he was more interested in writing, and he learned several languages including Spanish, German and French. He supported himself through college by writing boys' adventure stories and jokes. Using stenographers, he wrote up to 8,000 words of pulp fiction per day. After leaving Columbia, he wrote four commercially unsuccessful, though critically well-received books, King Midas (1901), Prince Hagen (1902), The Journal of Arthur Stirling (1903) and a Civil War novel entitled Manassas (1904).
In 1904, Sinclair spent seven weeks in disguise, working undercover in Chicago's meatpacking plants to research his political fiction exposé, The Jungle. When it was published two years later, it became a bestseller. With the income from The Jungle, Sinclair founded the utopian Helicon Home Colony in Englewood, New Jersey. He ran as a Socialist candidate for Congress.[8][9] The colony burned down under suspicious circumstances within a year.[10]
During his years with his second wife, Mary Craig, Sinclair wrote or produced several films. Recruited by Charlie Chaplin, Sinclair and Mary Craig produced Eisenstein's ¡Qué viva México! in 1930–32.[11]
The Sinclairs moved to California in the 1920s and lived there for nearly four decades. Late in life Sinclair, with his third wife, moved to Buckeye, Arizona, and then to Bound Brook, New Jersey. Sinclair died there in a nursing home on November 25, 1968.[12] He is buried in Rock Creek Cemetery in Washington, D.C., next to his third wife, Mary Willis, who had died a year before him.
Aside from his political and social writings, Sinclair took an interest in occult phenomena and experimented with telepathy. His book entitled Mental Radio was published in 1930 and included accounts of his wife Mary's telepathic experiences and ability.[13][14] William McDougall read the book and wrote an introduction to it. It led him to establish the parapsychology department at Duke University.
The Upton Sinclair House in Monrovia, California, is now a National Historic Landmark.[15] The papers, photographs, and first editions of most of Sinclair's books are found at the Lilly Library at Indiana University in Bloomington.[16]
In the 1920s the Sinclairs moved to Monrovia, California, near Los Angeles, where Sinclair founded the state's chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). Wanting to pursue politics, he twice ran unsuccessfully for United States Congress on the Socialist ticket: in 1920 for the House of Representatives and in 1922 for the Senate. During this period, Sinclair was also active in radical politics in Los Angeles. For instance, in 1923, to support the challenged free speech rights of Industrial Workers of the World, Sinclair spoke at a rally in San Pedro, California, in a neighborhood now known as Liberty Hill. He began to read from the Bill of Rights and was promptly arrested, along with hundreds of others, by the LAPD. The arresting officer proclaimed that "we'll have none of that Constitution stuff."[17]
In 1934, Sinclair ran in the California gubernatorial election as a Democrat. Gaining 879,000 votes made this his most successful run for office, but Frank F. Merriam defeated him by a sizable margin,[18] gaining 1,138,000 votes.[19] Sinclair's platform, known as the End Poverty in California movement (EPIC), galvanized the support of the Democratic Party, and Sinclair gained its nomination.[20]
Sinclair's plan to end poverty quickly became a controversial issue under the pressure of so many migrants to California because of the Dust bowl. Conservatives considered his proposal an attempted communist takeover of their state and quickly opposed him, using propaganda to portray Sinclair as a staunch communist. Sinclair had been a member of the Socialist Party from 1902 to 1934, when he became a Democrat, though always considering himself a Socialist in spirit.[21] At the same time, American and Soviet communists disassociated themselves from him, considering him a capitalist.[22] Science fiction author Robert A. Heinlein was deeply involved in Sinclair's campaign, although he attempted to move away from the stance later in his life.[23]
After his loss to Merriam, Sinclair abandoned EPIC and politics to return to writing. In 1935 he published I, Candidate for Governor: And How I Got Licked, in which he described the techniques employed by Merriam's supporters, including the then popular Aimee Semple McPherson, who vehemently opposed socialism and what she perceived as Sinclair's modernism.
Of his gubernatorial bid, Sinclair remarked in 1951:
The American People will take Socialism, but they won't take the label. I certainly proved it in the case of EPIC. Running on the Socialist ticket I got 60,000 votes, and running on the slogan to 'End Poverty in California' I got 879,000. I think we simply have to recognize the fact that our enemies have succeeded in spreading the Big Lie. There is no use attacking it by a front attack, it is much better to out-flank them.[24]
In 1902, Sinclair married Meta Fuller, who had been a childhood friend and whose family was one of the First Families of Virginia. The couple had a child named David, born on December 1, 1901.[25][page needed] Around 1911, Meta left Sinclair for the poet Harry Kemp, later known as the Dunes Poet of Provincetown, Massachusetts.
In 1913, Sinclair married Mary Craig Kimbrough (1883–1961), a woman from an elite Greenwood, Mississippi, family who had written articles and a book on Winnie Davis, the daughter of Confederate States of America President Jefferson Davis. He met her when she attended a lecture by him about The Jungle.[26] In the 1920s, they moved to California. They were married until her death in 1961.
After Craig's death in 1961, Sinclair married Mary Elizabeth Willis (1882–1967).
Sinclair was opposed to sex outside of marriage and he viewed marital relations as only necessary for procreation.[27] He told his first wife Meta that only the birth of a child gave marriage "dignity and meaning".[28] Despite his beliefs, he had an adulterous affair with Anna Noyes during his marriage to Meta, writing an unpublished novel about the affair called Love's Progress, a sequel to Love's Pilgrimage.[29] His wife then had an affair with John Armistead Collier, a theology student from Memphis, from which they had a child named Ben.[30]
He believed Christianity to be a religion that favoured the rich and promoted a drop of standards and he was therefore against it.[31]
Sinclair devoted his writing career to documenting and criticizing the social and economic conditions of the early twentieth century in both fiction and non-fiction. He exposed his view of the injustices of capitalism and the overwhelming impact of the poverty. He also edited collections of fiction and non-fiction.
His novel based on the meatpacking industry in Chicago, The Jungle, was first published in serial form in the socialist newspaper Appeal to Reason, from February 25, 1905 to November 4, 1905. It was published as a book by Doubleday in 1906.[32]
Sinclair had spent about six months investigating the Chicago meatpacking industry for Appeal to Reason, work which inspired his novel. Sinclair intended to "set forth the breaking of human hearts by a system which exploits the labor of men and women for profit".[33] The novel featured Jurgis Rudkus, a Lithuanian immigrant who works in a meat factory in Chicago, his teenage wife Ona Lukoszaite, and their extended family. Sinclair portrays their mistreatment by Rudkus' employers and the wealthier elements of society. His descriptions of the unsanitary and inhumane conditions that workers suffered served to shock and galvanize readers. Jack London called Sinclair's book "the Uncle Tom's Cabin of wage slavery".[34] Domestic and foreign purchases of American meat fell by half.[35]
Sinclair wrote in Cosmopolitan Magazine in October 1906 about The Jungle: "I aimed at the public's heart, and by accident I hit it in the stomach."[3] The novel brought public support for Congressional legislation and government regulation of the industry, including passage of the Meat Inspection Act and the Pure Food and Drug Act.[36][37] At the time, President Theodore Roosevelt characterized Sinclair as a "crackpot",[38] writing to William Allen White, "I have an utter contempt for him. He is hysterical, unbalanced, and untruthful. Three-fourths of the things he said were absolute falsehoods. For some of the remainder there was only a basis of truth."[39] After reading The Jungle, Roosevelt agreed with some of Sinclair's conclusions but was opposed to legislation that he considered "socialist." He said, "[R]adical action must be taken to do away with the efforts of arrogant and selfish greed on the part of the capitalist."[40]
In The Brass Check, Sinclair made a systematic and incriminating critique of the severe limitations of the "free press" in the United States. Among the topics covered is the use of yellow journalism techniques created by William Randolph Hearst. Sinclair called The Brass Check "the most important and most dangerous book I have ever written."[41]
Between 1940 and 1953, Sinclair wrote a series of 11 novels featuring a central character named Lanny Budd. The son of an American arms manufacturer, Budd is portrayed as holding in the confidence of world leaders, and not simply witnessing events but often propelling them. As a sophisticated socialite, who mingles easily with people from all cultures and socioeconomic classes, Budd has been characterized as the antithesis of the stereotyped "Ugly American".[47]
Sinclair placed Budd within the important political events in the United States and Europe in the first half of the twentieth century. Today out of print and nearly forgotten, the novels were bestsellers upon publication and were published in translation, appearing in twenty-one countries. The third book in the series, Dragon's Teeth (1942), won the Pulitzer Prize for the Novel in 1943.[48]
The Lanny Budd series includes:
Sinclair was keenly interested in health and nutrition. He experimented with various diets, and with fasting. He wrote about this in his book, The Fasting Cure (1911), another bestseller.[49] He believed that periodic fasting was important for health, saying, "I had taken several fasts of ten or twelve days' duration, with the result of a complete making over of my health".[50]
Sinclair favored a raw food diet of predominantly vegetables and nuts. For long periods of time, he was a complete vegetarian, but he also experimented with eating meat. His attitude to these matters was fully explained in the chapter "The Use of Meat" in the above-mentioned book.[51]
Sinclair is extensively featured in Harry Turtledove's American Empire trilogy, an alternate history in which the American Socialist Party succeeds in becoming a major force in U.S. politics following two humiliating military defeats to the Confederate States and the post-1882 collapse of the Republican Party, with Abraham Lincoln leading a large number of Republicans into the Socialist Party. He wins the 1920 and 1924 presidential elections and becomes the first Socialist President of the United States, his inauguration attended by crowds of jubilant militants waving red flags. However, the actual policies which Turtledove attributes to him, once in power, are not particularly radical.[citation needed]
Sinclair is featured as one of the main characters in Chris Bachelder's satirical fictional book, U.S.!: a Novel. Repeatedly, Sinclair is resurrected as a personification of the contemporary failings of the American left and portrayed as a quixotic reformer attempting to stir an apathetic American public to implement socialism in America.[52]
Upton Sinclair and his EPIC plan are referred to by Sinclair Lewis in his 1935 novel, It Can't Happen Here.
Upton Sinclair and his wife Meta are referred to by Joyce Carol Oates in her 2013 novel, The Accursed.

Rev. Samuel RodriguezThousands of Christians will gather in Houston's Reliant Stadium tomorrow for Texas Gov. Rick Perry's "The Response," a seven-hour prayer rally that will call on God to save America from the "sea of moral relativism."
As we have previously written, Perry is betting that The Response will cement his support among evangelical primary voters, thereby positioning him as a frontrunner for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination.
Opponents of The Response have lambasted Perry for throwing in with a far-right fringe of evangelicals, noting the extreme views of some of the event's organizers and endorsers. But this criticism overlooks the fact that The Response actually represents a relatively diverse cross-section of Fundamentalist Evangelicals and so-called "charismatic Christians" who make up the new face of the Christian Right.
The leadership of The Response is a who's who of the key players in this new evangelical movement. The new alliance breaks down traditional racial and denominational divides in American Evangelicalism, unifying over shared support of social conservative positions, including opposition to abortion and same-sex marriage, and their belief that the country is in a "state of crisis" that is a harbinger of End Times.
These conservative kingmakers are clearly not averse to politics — they exercised their campaign muscles in 2008 and 2010 to great success. Their involvement in the prayer rally is a tacit signal that, should Perry decide to run, this powerful coalition will be in his corner in 2012.
The new face of the Christian Right.

Cavendish 'relatively ok' after crash
Comment on this storyLondon – British cycling star Mark Cavendish has said he is "relatively ok" after colliding with a car while training in Italy.
Cavendish, the 2011 world road race champion, who has a home in Tuscany, told his Twitter followers on Monday: "Went & hit the back of a car that slammed on today in training. Wasn't ideal. Apart from a bruised arm, I'm relatively ok. If anyone cares."
Cavendish's accident happened less than two weeks after Tour de France winner Bradley Wiggins and British Cycling head coach Shane Sutton were knocked off their bikes in Britain.
The 27-year-old Cavendish, who last month left Team Sky for Belgian outfit Omega Pharma-Quickstep, has now travelled from Tuscany to California.
An eventful weekend for the Isle of Man born rider also saw him announce his engagement to former model Peta Todd. – Sapa-AFP

Convert audio and video files and more with Converter Plus
Convert, search, play, discover, and more with this super-versatile media freeware.
If you wanted to load the "Green Acres" theme song to your MP3 player, how would you do it? You could search for an MP3, but we suggest you make your own with Converter Plus, a versatile audio and video converter that, among other accomplishments, can convert video files into MP3s. That sounds sort of un-special, we know, but it's a lot less common than you'd think. And besides it's just one of Converter Plus's capabilities, which include not just converting audio and video files from one format to another, but also downloading video for watching later, streaming Internet TV and radio (with lots of free stations) and even games. Converter Plus also searches for music and can find the latest tunes for you. Recent upgrades include improved audio conversions and Windows 8 compatibility.
Converter Plus opened with a tabbed, white-on-gray interface that makes subtle but effective use of color for touches like icons, social media links, and media player controls. We entered an album name in the Music Search tool, and Converter Plus displayed a list of a dozen or so MP3s we could download. The Discovery sub-tab offers links to a variety of music resources, including news, sharing, and streaming. Converting videos to either an audio or video file is as simple as clicking either Convert to Video or Convert to Audio. We could enter metadata, start and stop time, and bit rate as well as one of seven popular audio formats. The Video Converter is similarly versatile. All our converted files played normally.
We were already pretty happy with Converter Plus at this point, and we hadn't gotten to the Video tab's Video Search and YouTube Downloader tools, the Convert tab's simple wizard-based process, the file manager and playlist creator in the My Files tab, or the TV, Radio and Games tabs. That's a lot, but the program's layout handles it all in style, even the Watch TV tab. Don't like the look? Just re-skin the interface. Anything else? Chat, and languages, and online support. Converter Plus certainly made it easy for us to satisfy our craving for '60s sitcom themes!

Hey, guys. So I've been in school for a few months now and I can finally, finally say that I've had the craziest (Miami?) and so far. Me and Charlotte and running in like 5-inch stiletto. No, I didn't do it to any type of party. I actually went to one of those things that you always see, posters around campus for, cool, that you never ever pay attention to. Well honestly, some people paid attention because me and my roommate were there and the line was wrapped all the way around the 1st floor. So the officer student involvement hosted a showing of rocky horror picture show. Everybody is going crazy, rocky horror is about to start. It's like, pack like crazy. What's rocky horror picture show? Rocky horror is a movie from 1975 and it's adapted from a British musical that's basically a pair of tons of horror films trending between the 1940's and the 1970's but it's not a scary movie at all. Rocky horror is the longest running theatrical film in history because of it's part to say it patience. Say it, participation. Anyways, people yell back lines at the screen. It's encouraged to dress up in costume either as one of the characters or in lingerie to stand up in the isles and act up the film. They dance during the film and they throw props, toilet paper, water guns, yes props at the screen at certain times of the movie. Rice, confetti, toes and it was all by my air. So they put this V on my forehead because I am a virgin, never been to rocky horror before. So I'm the side of soccer son yehey. Yeah I took one of the posters.

When is it appropriate to share faith at work?: One nurse's story - page 12
As nurses, we wear many hats. To name a few: we are caregivers, providers, assessors, comforters, encouragers, teachers, an ear to listen. Are we to be evangelists or preachers? In my opinion, no... Read More
3Jul 5, '13 by green34I am an atheist and I do not tell my patients that. As for that smile and glow thing, I get that all the time due to my personality. I am rarely "mean" or "strict." As an EMT, I was told that I looked like an angel because of my smile all the time.
I work in a Catholic hospital but I do not share my faith. I will consider praying with a family if they ask me to, but I do feel like it is a hollow gesture inside because I am an atheist. We do have chaplains that are familiar with many different religions.
I think if nurses pray with their patients that ask them to, it would be okay. It doesn't bother me. However, coworkers that drag religion into everything kind of bothers me. -
1Nov 13, '13 by TrevyRNI have a tremendous respect and understanding for patients when they engage in spiritual practice and I encourage it if the cues, as you've mentioned, are there. Spirituality, religion, faith, prayer etc is extremely healthy and healing for people. I am a spiritual person, but also an atheist.
There was a funny situation the other day when a preacher was standing over a young girl with an obvious fracture and impressive deformity of her arm. He was praying for her with the family, asking God to guide the doctors to provide competent care, see her through this tough time, and help her find relief from her pain. I was glad to see him there helping me and the docs guide this nice family through this stressful time in their lives. It was kind of humorous though about the pain relief. I was standing there with my hands together, quietly respectful, with 4mg of morphine and zofran in hand. I was thinking "Hello.... preacher dude, need to administer God's pain relief... can we speed this along LOL".
Thanks for all y'alls posts.NF_eyenurse likes this.

This was the stuff of epic tales
Sometimes one witnesses, firsthand, epics in the making, not in the grand tradition of the Elder Edda Old Norse poems, but more like the Finnish epic poem "Kalevala," which takes the prosaic facts of farm life and turns them into the stuff of legend.
Well, in the incident of which I'm thinking, actually it was more like Punxsutawney Phil, the groundhog weather savant. At least that's the way it came to feel in my tiny town when an innocuous event took on a life of its own.
It started when a young woman I'd never seen before came to my door in a big hurry. "Do you have a bottle opener I could borrow?" she asked breathlessly.
Assuming her to be a new neighbor, I opened the kitchen drawer and happened to pull out our very best one – shiny with a couple of gadgets attached. I gave it to her, and she thanked me and left.
And that was that until about five days later, when my husband suddenly grumped, "Where is my bottle opener?"
I had forgotten all about it. And that's when the event became peripatetic.
I could only tell him what happened – which helped not at all. This led to my going around the neighborhood, stopping at every door, asking if anyone might be the borrower.
As when guides appear on the path of the quest in "Lord of the Rings," it was a blessing in disguise. I managed to meet some new neighbors and get in some good chats with others whom I normally saw only in passing.
But, one and all, they pointed me on. One knew of a housewarming at a new home two doors up. Another said he had seen guests at the corner house – maybe they had it. I had a feeling it was the kind of thing that was about to take me to the Great Sinkhole at the end of the world.
My inquiries must have stirred somebody's memory ... or conscience. My husband walked in a couple of mornings later with an odd expression on his face. "You'll never guess what's outside," he said.

Part Three of The Current
Picasso's Women - Art Gallery of Ontario Curator
Pablo Picasso said he painted the way other people wrote their autobiographies. "The paintings, finished or not, are the pages from my diary," he said. Anyone wishing to read that diary may want to visit the Art Gallery of Ontario over the next few months. A major exhibition called Picasso: Masterpieces From the Musee National Picasso, Paris consists of 144 works taken from the painter's personal collection.
At a glance it's clear how important women were to his life and art. Whether they're reclining sensuously, contorted and grotesque or offering light in the face of evil, the women of Picasso's works say as much about the man as they do about his art.
The Current's Kathleen Goldhar visited the Art Gallery of Ontario with interpretive planner Shiralee Hudson Hill and was introduced to one of Picasso's most important muses. We aired a clip.
And of course there were many more muses, and lovers and wives and mistresses. Elizabeth Smith is the Art Gallery of Ontario's Executive Director of Curatorial Affairs and she was in our Toronto studio.
Picasso's Women - Art Critic & Picasso Muse
There was the passionate Picasso, whose life was filled with love affairs and the women who loved him. But there was also the Picasso who was notorious for abusing the women in his life.
Mark Hudson is an art critic and author of the book Titian, the Last Days. He was in our London, England.
Sylvette David met Picasso when she was 19 and living in the South of France. She is now immortalized as The Girl with the Ponytail. She now goes by the name Lydia Corbett, and she was at home in Devon, England
This segment was produced by The Current's Kathleen Goldhar and Lara O'Brien.
Last Word - Surviving Picasso
We've been talking about Picasso and his women this morning. The film Surviving Picasso suggested the Master painter was also a master manipulator. It also suggested his mistress Françoise Gilot managed to keep her self-respect, and became a better artist for her years of endurance.
On today's Last Word, we aired a clip of Anthony Hopkins, portraying the painter as a complex man -- with a whole range of complexes.

Sterling apology, military transgender ban, Vibram lawsuit and more
Chuck Hagel: Ban on transgender people in military should be reviewed
Brian Kersey/Getty Images
U.S. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel speaks at an event hosted by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs and the University of Chicago Institute of Politics at the Fairmont Hotel on May 6, 2014 in Chicago, Illinois. Hagel's speech focused on the military's transition from 13 years of war to a new era with different strategic priorities and fiscal constraints.
While the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" means gays and lesbians can now serve openly in the military, transgender service members are still banned.
But over the weekend, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said in an interview with ABC's "This Week" that he was "open" to a review of the policy:
"It continually should be reviewed, I'm open to that, by the way. I'm open to those assessments. Because, again, I go back to the bottom line. Every qualified American who wants to serve our country should have the opportunity. If they fit the qualifications and can do it."
Professor Aaron Belkin, who studies transgender military service and is Director of the Palm Center at San Francisco State University, joins the show to talk about the Pentagon's policy on transgender people in the military.

If you are a visual person like I am you often find it easier to visualize and understand things after seeing it. Over at the XNA Team blog there are some pointers to some presentations about XNA that may be helpful.
Specifically there is a pointer and description of a webcast about the Space Wars starter kit, an interview with Boyd Multerer the XNA product unit manager over on Channel 99, and presentations from GameFest. I've watch a couple of demos using the Space Wars starter kit and it really helpd me jump start my understanding of it and how I can have some fun with it. Seeing makes a huge difference for me.

Pressure ulcers (also called bed sores and pressure sores) are ulcers on the skin caused by pressure or rubbing at the weight-bearing, bony points of immobilised people (such as hips, heels and elbows). Different support surfaces (e.g. beds, mattresses, mattress overlays and cushions) aim to relieve pressure, and are used to cushion vulnerable parts of the body and distribute the surface pressure more evenly. The review found that people lying on ordinary foam mattresses are more likely to get pressure ulcers than those lying on a higher-specification foam mattress. In addition the review also found that people who used sheepskin overlays on their mattress developed fewer pressure ulcers. While alternating-pressure mattresses may be more cost effective than alternating-pressure overlays, the evidence base regarding the merits of higher-specification constant low-pressure and alternating-pressure support surfaces for preventing pressure ulcers is unclear. Rigorous research comparing different support surfaces is needed.
Can pressure ulcers be prevented by using different support surfaces?
