We Give Up: 75% of Us Are Now Totally OK With a Stay-Cation
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Much has been made about mobile phones and tablet computers and how those technological wonders have tethered U.S workers to the office.
Not coincidentally, according to Expedia
According to John Morrey, general manager at Expedia, the firm rolls out the workplace/vacation study annually, yet he is "constantly surprised" by how global workers are denied pure vacation experiences.
"Studies consistently show that an ideal work-life balance leads to happier and more productive employees," Morrey says. "Your vacation days are not a gift, not a luxury. They're yours to use. So instead of letting those days quietly expire, take that time and connect with the world outside of your office."
Unfortunately, Americans just aren't taking that advice.
According to a survey of adult Americans about their vacation mindset by Green Mountain Coffee Roasters
Here's some frightening news for online travel sites, cruise ships, hotels and any other business making a living off consumer vacation cash: According to the survey, 75% of adults say they are perfectly fine with the idea of a "stay-cation," in which they never pack a bag at all to hit the open road.
"People are clearly coming around to the idea of taking breaks and even 'doing nothing' in order to lead a healthier lifestyle," says Liz Pryor, a life advice consultant and contributor to the Green Mountain study. Pryor says pulse-raising amounts of media clamor and technology chatter has led to an "inability to switch off," leaving U.S. workers anxious.
If you just can't manage to steal away for a longer vacation this summer, Pryor advises taking a "hooky break" and calling in sick once or twice this summer, using the time to generally goof off and do the things you like.
Also, she suggests a device-free "time-out" when you turn off those cellphones and tablet computers and enjoy the silence.
No, its not a cruise in the Bahamas or a trip to Maui. It's not even a day at Disney
But in the "new vacation normal," it may be the best time off you're going to get.

Caldwell, (Janet Miriam) Taylor (Holland)
(Janet Miriam) Taylor (Holland) Caldwell 1900–
(Also wrote under pseudonyms of Max Reiner and Marcus Holland) English-born American novelist.
Since the publication of her first novel, Dynasty of Death, in 1938, Caldwell has written over thirty internationally best-selling romance novels. Many of her works are long, multigenerational sagas featuring immigrant protagonists who struggle for wealth and power. Caldwell has also written religious fiction, notably Dear and Glorious Physician (1959) and I, Judas (1977). These novels received favorable reviews for their attempt to demystify Saint Luke and Judas Iscariot. Testimony of Two Men (1968) and Captains and the Kings (1972) were serialized for television.
Critics generally agree that Caldwell's greatest strength as a novelist lies in her narrative ability. Her novels exhibit extensive historical research, thus providing a realistic sense of place. It is conceded, however, that much of her writing is formulaic, with stock characters and contrived plots. In addition, critics fault her didactic tendency. Still, Caldwell provides a "good read" and her enduring popularity ensures her a dominant place in the romance genre.

George Dangerfield
The armaments industry is a subject which fiction does well to take up; and Mrs. Caldwell's attack [in Dynasty of Death] is handled with the patience and skill of a prosecuting attorney. In order to establish her case she builds up a careful background, introducing a number of facts and side-issues which a defense attorney would probably characterize—and an impartial judge perhaps disallow—as irrelevant, incompetent, and all the rest of it. But when the whole picture is complete, you have to admit that she has been handling with considerable ability several interacting and at times rather refractory themes….
One's chief criticism of this novel is that it pays the industry a compliment which, though backhanded and unconscious, is none the less a compliment. The author assumes that the industry requires, as its representative, something rather terrific in the way of a man. In all the pages, and they are 797, in which she deals with Ernest Barbour, she never quite reduces him to human stature. Ernest is a devil, the personification of a great industrial evil; and when a devil goes about the devil's work, something is missing. What we miss in this instance is the ultimate historical irony: on the one hand, the traffic in murder; on the other, a trafficker who is just as muddled and petty and able to compound with his conscience as the rest of us. Only a genius could in a novel of this sort create or maintain such an ironical...

Halford E. Luccock
[In Dynasty of Death the] author avoids one ready pitfall of the long family-history novel, that of sacrificing everything to breadth and length. There is a stretch of a hundred years and a cast of actors running into many score. Yet there is intensity of interest, full detail and characterization at each period.
The most noticeable weakness of the novel is that the villains are too darkly and consistently villainous and the good people too obviously equipped with a halo. This is seen in the sharp black-and-white woodcut contrast between Ernest Barbour, the Napoleon of the firm, and his brother Martin, a sort of Pennsylvania St. Francis of Assisi. Ernest is a terribly integrated person—completely integrated about the dollar. He is relentless, cruel, endowed with satanic skill and all the other gifts and graces necessary to make a well rounded devil. His brother Martin gives his life in the effort to relieve the terrible slavery into which Ernest has plunged his workers. This gives an unreal effect, for real life is far more complex and perplexing. The typical munitions king or industrial grand duke is likely to be not an inhuman monster, but rather a person deserving of the classic tribute to a pirate, "as mild-mannered a man as ever scuttled a ship."
This is a novel of sustained interest, done with care and skill, notable for its picture of the unfolding industrial life of America, particularly of the steel industry. (p. 1338)

Harold Strauss
["The Eagles Gather"] continues the saga of the Bouchard family, the great armaments clan whose fortunes were first set forth in "Dynasty of Death." The Bouchards are ruthless, self-willed men, and their women are pawns of their overweening lust for power. One recalls how, in the earlier novel, the Bouchards together with the Barbours founded a small powder and arms factory in Pennsylvania in the middle of the last century. One recalls how they gradually outstripped and exterminated their competitors, how they created a gigantic munitions monopoly with interests extending into affiliated industries, and how these merchants of death learned to manipulate public opinion and to provoke wars when business was dull….
Tradition is a powerful motor force in human behavior. When we first met the Bouchards they seemed shocking and unreal. It was difficult to accustom oneself to the irresponsible violence and unmotivated hatreds with which "Dynasty of Death" was peppered. But now violence and treachery have come to have the force of tradition in the Bouchard family, and one accepts their monstrous behavior with more credence. By that measure "The Eagles Gather" … emerges as a much stronger book than its predecessor. We might also add that its narrative has much more unity, and its drama is much more concentrated. "Dynasty of Death" spread out from 1837 to 1910, and its texture, for all its 400,000 words, seemed a little thin. The new novel...

Taylor Caldwell's "Dynasty of Death" succeeded in making munitions manufacturers seem considerably more dramatic than they probably are in actuality. "The Eagles Gather," a sequel, is more of the same, only not as good. For one thing, perhaps Taylor Caldwell can keep her Bouchards clear and separate, but there are just too many of them for this simple mind. After a while you lose count, and after you lose count you lose interest. As a matter of fact, I think I lost interest before I lost count, because the characterization in "The Eagles Gather" is so definitely melodramatic that it makes the whole long, crowded, and painstaking narrative a bit unconvincing. Also, while I'm perfectly willing to credit anything evil I read about munitions people, I cannot believe that they alone manipulate history, start and stop wars, plan in advance what we shall think, etc. They're powerful, no doubt, but they're not gods. The view of current history on which "The Eagles Gather" is based seems to me rather too simplified.
Those who like complicated family chronicles with a raft of sinister villains will, I think, take to Taylor Caldwell's latest installment of Bouchards. My own feeling is that her message could have been projected in half the length and with half the characters. The book would have been about twice as effective, too. (pp. 52-3)

Richard A. Cordell
["Dynasty of Death" and its recently-published sequel, "The Eagles Gather,"] have the same theine—the titanic struggle between ruthlessness, greed, opportunism, selfishness, and dishonesty on the one side (the munitions barons blandly lump together all such practices as "realism"), and altruism, justice, love, and self-sacrifice on the other side. The victor in this internecine war is not announced, for the war is still raging—perhaps more fiercely today than ever before.
"The Eagles Gather" is a depressing, almost terrifying book. It hurls formidable charges against the powers of evil that shape our personal and national destinies, and although the book is fiction, its insinuations and implications are disturbing and sometimes alarming….
Under the impact of these allegations we find difficulty in responding always to the deep human demands of the story, but human interest is here. For these men of greed, these "realists," do not hesitate to sacrifice friends, brothers, children, and parents in their ruthless battle for power. The various narratives of the novel deal with death-struggles between Machiavellism and human decency. Although the author is not an absolute cynic, she is no facile optimist, and to resolve these conflicts she does not conjure up the comfortable old saw that right makes might.
One fault of the novel, less annoying than in "Dynasty of Death," is the confusing legion of characters…. The author does not exercise her artist's privilege to select, but presents to us in detail, often amusing, the whole clan. Possibly, too, the novel is weakened by a glut of guile and hate. Nearly everyone loathes and despises nearly all the other members of the family—brothers hate brothers, parents and children abominate one another—there is hardly a page which does not contain "hate" or "detest" or "nauseate" or "despise" or some such ill-tempered verb. Everything considered, "The Eagles Gather" is a full-blooded book, provocative and haunting.

Taylor Caldwell's "The Earth Is the Lord's" … reminds one less of a novel than it does of a particularly grandiloquent opera. All the characters talk in a kind of recitative, the psychology is always grand to the point of inflation, and all the action seems to be accompanied by full orchestra, with percussion instruments dominating. The net effect, too, is operatic, for you feel that while all this blood and thunder verges on the silly, it never really is silly but, on the contrary, is perversely, if only momentarily, fascinating.

For the background of her new novel, "The Strong City," Taylor Caldwell has chosen the town of "Nazareth," Pa., and the steel industry as it was during the latter years of the past century. That was the time when men worked twelve hours a day six days a week, when unions were struggling for existence and many employers regarded the "Knights of Labor" with considerable disfavor and even more suspicion. Immigrants were then swarming into the United States, and it is from among these immigrants and their immediate descendants that the author has chosen most of her characters. First in importance is Franz Stoessel, a foreman in the Schmidt Mills when the novel begins….

While "The Arm and the Darkness" by Taylor Caldwell is primarily a long narrative of the physical and spiritual struggles of a young nobleman during the conflicts between the Catholic reaction and the Huguenots in France in the time of Louis XIII and Cardinal Richelieu, it is also an adumbration of the emergence of the Common Man into history and his opening battles for liberty, enlightenment and justice. The real villain of this novel is the corrupt hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church and the real hero is that urge toward liberation that expressed itself in the Huguenot movement. Of course, the line between good and evil is not drawn quite so definitely as that, for Miss Caldwell makes it plain that there were...

Miss Taylor Caldwell casts her net wide in search of themes and periods for the sort of elaborate fiction she favours…. Nobody need or should despise the amount of work which has gone into the quarter of a million words or so of ["The Arm and the Darkness"]. Regretfully, however, one cannot but wish it had a little more life, a little real substance or individuality. Here, it must be confessed, is rather too much of the stale perfume of historical romance, too much of the faded tinsel, altogether too much of the conventional rhetoric…. Miss Caldwell, though extreme facility has always been her failing, has written better books than this….

Taylor Caldwell's long, turbulent narratives—one appears every year with the regularity of the almanac or year-book—are very much alike. From "Dynasty of Death" (1938) down to [her new novel "This Side of Innocence"] the ingredients vary only slightly; a family or two of wealth and power, most of their members despising one another and engaging in callous and unscrupulous business enterprise; intra-family love duels; intimate details of high finance and industrial backgrounds; meticulous attention to Godey's Lady's Book and other sources of information for details of costumes and interior decoration in the Gilded Age.

Will "There Was a Time" cause a rift between Taylor Caldwell and her everloving public? Will that public … mind that she has slapped their wrists in this semi-autobiographical novel about a young writer who forsakes thunderous chronicles of villainous financiers to write from his heart? The answer to these questions must be a resounding no….
Miss Caldwell's desertion of the titans who stomp through her previous output has in no wise affected her approach or her prose—which still throbs with passion, sags with adjectives and overflows into royal-purple rapture. As of old, her characters, wading ankle-deep in malevolence, are locked in unequal contest with compound, overpowering emotions. To be...

Taylor Caldwell realizes full well the limitations and stupidities of her Melissa [the heroine of Caldwell's "Melissa"], daughter of a philosophic writer who has deliberately made a mess of her out of his villainous desire to dominate her and make her subject to his psychologically poisonous whims. But the author never intended that we should become painfully bored and irritated with the beautiful creature; and that miscarriage of Taylor Caldwell's purpose must be attributed to the apparent hurry, the lack of careful organization, the adjectival and prolifically adverbial style in which the novel is written. The author of "Dynasty of Death" and other best sellers seems to be writing too fast and too much. Even those...

What will America be like in 1970? Miss Caldwell's [apocalyptic "The Devil's Advocate"] makes Spengler seem cheerful by comparison. In this novel of fierce prophecy she sees a Communist conspiracy in control in Washington. The courts and the Constitution have been outlawed; family life is directed by the Government; the fifth world war is about to erupt (this one against South America, the rest of the world being subject and in ruins). Tipping her political hand, she offers as her trump of horrors the fact that the Republican party has been banned as of 1958….

Up to now Miss Caldwell has been in the habit of simplifying the past, of building her plot and bullying her characters around one idea…. In The Devil's Advocate she presents a simplification of recent past and proximate future both. Her scene is the slave America of the 1970's, the seeds of whose destruction were sown in the 1930's.
America's downward slide into a Communist state "had begun with a loathsome use of the word 'security.' And in the name of that fantasy, that dream-filled myth, American pride, responsibility, grandeur and strength, had been systematically murdered."… Thus by 1970 the Republic had become "The Democracy," and the President was the captive of The Military and...

If critics took the author of "Never Victorious, Never Defeated" as seriously as she takes herself, articles would have long since appeared on "The World of Taylor Caldwell." Fourteen of the sixteen novels she has published in less than two decades portray important aspects of American life in the period from the middle of the nineteenth century to the present time, most of them concerned with families of great wealth and power. Three of the novels, beginning with "Dynasty of Death," have to do with the Barbour-Bouchard family and the manufacture of munitions. In other novels she has done steel, textiles and lumber, and now she has turned to railroading….

[Taylor Caldwell] has pursued through sixteen novels almost every aspect of the rise of those multi-millionaire families in the United States Theodore Roosevelt called malefactors of great wealth. The fact that her great-uncle once owned all of the railroads in Scotland and that her grandmother was half Irish has had a great deal to do with the subject of her newest book, "Never Victorious, Never Defeated." This long and absorbing novel is by no means a pursuit of a wornout vein; the author has discovered a new gold mine in the intramural conflicts of four generations of a prolific family of Pennsylvania railroad builders fighting to extend their lines north and west. It is a complex story involving more than twenty...

It is impossible to read anything of Taylor Caldwell's without being reminded of the old gag, "He don't sing good, but he sings loud." Miss Caldwell doesn't write well, to be sure—but her books are infused with a sort of wild, anything-goes vitality which can hardly be ascribed to Henry James. Not that "The Sound of Thunder" is a good book. It isn't. But Miss Caldwell has managed to stay sufficiently within the bounds of educated standards to make the reader feel rewarded for panting after her as she free-wheels through this long, complicated chronicle.
The central character is Edward Enger, a hard worker who was sent to help in his father's delicatessen at 14 so that his three brothers and one...

In choosing to put emphasis on the early life of Luke the physician, Taylor Caldwell has presented [in Dear and Glorious Physician] quite a different picture from that Frank Slaughter has given in The Road to Bithynia…. It is—she tells her readers—a subject on which she has worked most of her life. The result shows an immense amount of research, a dedication to her subject. Luke emerges as a whole man—and most readers will find the biographical aspects of her story—up to the time when she gears it into the Gospel record—far more moving and convincing than the final chapters, when Luke approaches what has been, at times unwittingly, his life goal, an identification with the "unknown god" of...

St. Luke, author of the third Gospel and of the Acts, was with St. Paul in Rome and is referred to by him as "the beloved physician." According to tradition he was a gentile Greek. The shadowy figure evoked by these few phrases bursts forth technicolored and Toddeoscale in Taylor Caldwell's ["Dear and Glorious Physician"]….
Aside from any religious conviction, the scholar will deplore the book's heavy-handed reproduction of the period, while any lover of English will cringe at its lush overwriting. The depiction of Luke, Mary and Jesus as Nordic blondes has all the dignity and restraint of a theater poster. No doubt "Dear and Glorious Physician" will be a best-seller and will be bought by Hollywood...

Spacious, alive with the bustle of ancient times and places, and illumined by flashes of genuine lyrical intensity, "Dear and Glorious Physician" is the product of an obsession that has challenged Miss Caldwell's talents for more than forty years….
Armed both with insight and erudition, she movingly reconstructs St. Luke's search for God, universalizing his anguish for troubled men everywhere. With her we live his childhood, meet his family and friends, participate in his extraordinary education, admire his Apollonian beauty and his athletic prowess. We discover the amazing world of ancient medicine; we see him suffer evil and loss, and then, in torments of rage and pity, arrive at an affirmation...

On page 572 (the final page) [of Dear and Glorious Physician] Miss Caldwell adds this sentence (in parentheses) after her own final sentence of the novel: "Continued in the Holy Bible, Gospel of St. Luke, and Acts I and II." There is something awesome in assurance like that, something that defies comment. Lucanus (St. Luke) is a very pedestrian fellow who finally comes to some faint understanding of God.
Lucanus strikes this reader, at least, as a rather dimwitted figure, unable to account for his miraculous powers of healing and, even in his attraction to the new religion, a man who acts remarkedly like a twentieth-century agnostic. If Christianity is Pickwickian and shadowy in Dear and...

Taylor Caldwell is an angry woman. She tells us so in a candid foreword to her curious new novel ["The Listener"]. Man does not need a new religion, she says. He does not require better bombs and missiles. He does not have to travel to the moon. What he really needs is someone to listen to his hurts and bewilderments. Of course, that Someone is the not very mysterious "Listener" of her book.
The role of "The Listener" is dramatized in fifteen chapters that successively feature troubled "Souls," each numbered and tagged, as, for example, Soul One, The Confessed; Soul Two, the Underprivileged; Soul Three, The Despised and Rejected. A troubled Soul repairs to a two-room marble sanctuary that is open to...

The Listener is not exactly a novel; it is rather a series of related episodes or tales held together by a slender string of place. The protagonists of these episodes come to a sanctuary built through the aid of a bequest left by the lawyer John Godfrey. Some are scoffing and defiant; others are hurt and humble; all are seeking peace. Some push the button which opens the curtains to reveal "The Man Who Listens" patiently. Others tell their story without caring to learn the identity of the man. Gradually, as one episode succeeds another, it is implied from the guarded language used that (in some way not made clear) "The Man Who Listens" is Christ.

When love comes to Caroline Ames Sheldon in Taylor Caldwell's "A Prologue to Love" …, it is page 553, and there are only sixty pages or so to tidy things up: change a few bequests, do a little benevolent blackmailing, engage a brain surgeon, and otherwise try to alter the course of a lifetime of bitchery.
Bitchery comes naturally to the wretched billionairess, since the father Miss Caldwell has devised for her is a marvelous nineteenth-century monster of a dad who has everything but fangs.

The natural perversity of students can sometimes be turned to good account, as when a student asks (apropos of a discussion about reading habits), "But isn't it necessary to read bad books in order to recognize good ones?" and the teacher replies, "Yes, it is." The attempt to implement this proposition can be unexpectedly rewarding.
My own experience grew out of a class in American Literature since the Civil War, which had just concluded a study of The American and "The Art of Fiction." There would surely be few better opportunities for applying the criteria of the master craftsman to a work which takes itself seriously but must renounce any claim to artistic importance.

[A Pillar of Iron] is a long and pretentious novel about Cicero which I found extremely annoying both because of its many inaccuracies (I made note as I read of some forty questionable statements) and because it builds up a picture of Cicero that seemed to me to be very far removed from the Cicero most classicists know. For a novelist to deliberately alter historical fact for artistic purposes, and to tell the reader that he is doing so, as Thornton Wilder did in his Ides of March, is one thing. But to set oneself up as a model of research and scholarship, as Miss Caldwell does in her Foreword, and then to present a Roman like Cicero as longing for the coming of the Jewish Messiah, and having visions of...

[A Pillar of Iron is an] astonishingly powerful novel based on the life of Cicero. Miss Caldwell obviously admires the great orator, practically making him a pre-Christian Christian; she glosses over his faults, extols his virtues. Had she shortened some of the scenes and in general been less wordy, she might have had room for a more comprehensive treatment of Cicero's entire life. But even so, she has made his stirring times real.

["Dialogues with the Devil"] is an exercise in moral indignation without the mechanics of fiction that customarily camouflage Miss Caldwell's opinions. Thus, in an exchange of letters between Beelzebub and the Archangel Michael, we are made directly aware of a catalogue of modern scourges beloved of the devil: egalitarianism, water pollution, Freud, masculine women, insubordinate children, climate control and deodorants for men. (Miss Caldwell doesn't say how the letters are delivered, but I suspect that Lucifer has a hell of a lot to do with the U.S. Post Office.)…
The author is certainly on the side of the angels—but she is guilty of a couple of misdemeanors not mentioned by the devil, namely,...

A conversation with the Devil presents a fairly obvious literary temptation, especially perhaps to a Christian, but to anyone who plans to discuss the painful evil of the modern world, its false values or its misdirected aims, C. S. Lewis comes immediately to mind. He knew that the Devil himself would be difficult to catch, so very cleverly he avoided the problem by composing a series of letters from one of Hell's staff to a junior Tempter on his first assignment in the world…. [In Dialogues with the Devil] Miss Caldwell attempts something much more exacting, for she presents Lucifer himself, and, as though that were not problem enough, puts him into correspondence with the Archangel Michael. She is an...

No question, [Taylor Caldwell] … can tell an engrossing story. She proves it once again in ["Captains and the Kings," a] gigantic novel about the Armagh family, closest, perhaps, in structure to her first big success, "Dynasty of Death." As an Irish immigrant, Joseph Armagh arrives via steerage in the 1850s. Upon the death of both his parents, Joseph, at 13, is left with a baby sister and small brother, whom he leaves with nuns near Pittsburgh. He sets out to support them and to survive. He becomes tough, ruthless and proud, and eventually makes an immense fortune that gives him a part in international currency manipulation, in politics, and the waging of wars. Joseph marries, lovelessly, has children and ambitions...

Until about three quarters of the way through [Captains and the Kings] I more or less knew what I should be writing about. Now I am not so sure. It seemed to be one of those capacious dramatic tales of the American dollar dream in the tradition of The Magnificent Ambersons, The Great Gatsby or Citizen Kane. 'Joseph Francis Xavier Armagh was thirteen years old when he first saw America through the dirty porthole on the steerage deck of The Irish Queen. It was the early 1850's and he was a penniless immigrant, an orphan cast on a hostile shore to make a home for himself and his younger brother and infant sister.' And he does, although the brother turns out to be a homosexual concert tenor and...

Big, wordy, sprawling, ["Captains and the Kings"] is probably a thesis novel; there is some loose association with the Kennedy family, though in this instance all of the tragedy is the result of a curse imposed by a ruthlessly destroyed statesman and the time ranges from around 1860 to the second decade of this century; but the theme of an Irish immigrant, raised up to wealth by his own driving passion and bent on making his son President, is finally made secondary to the theme of an international cabal that controls the press and statesmen throughout the world, plans wars, determines international destinies. No one coming new to the book but familiar with the author will be surprised to find that the beginning of all...

Return with Taylor Caldwell to ancient Greece [in "Glory and the Lightning"], where characters in desperation are wont to cry: "Wine, in the name of the gods." At an Athenian dinner party, you can hear the architect Phidias say: "Ah, yes, Pericles, I am at your service. I have the sketches drawn, for the Parthenon." Puts you right into the classic picture, where the Acropolis, in its day, was a bigger provocation than the Albany Mall.
There are other social parallels, if you look for them, in the spectacle of a high but weakened civilization being overwhelmed by a determined force of hairies, the Spartans. And there are stirrings of feminism, too, even in the fifth century B.C., the heyday of the...

"But you can't marry me! You are—Jeremy Porter—a rich man and a lawyer, and I am only a servant girl!" So says Ellen Watson, a beautiful but dreadfully downtrodden housemaid in turn-of-the-century Pennsylvania. Ellen is actually the illegitimate daughter of one of Philadelphia's first families, but this doesn't matter to Jeremy one way or another. He marries Cinder-Ellen when she is 17, and their life together, according to Taylor Caldwell, becomes a microcosm of the American apocalypse….
Caldwell's ["Ceremony of The Innocent"] finds her at the top of her form as a storyteller and as a vendor of the ideas that have surfaced in her novels since "Dynasty of Death." The story is pure melodrama,...

Ceremony of the Innocent is well written, but the plot remains unconvincing. This time the notion of a small group secretly controlling the world is implausible. The book may be of some interest because of its autobiographical insights. Miss Caldwell disavows autobiographical intent but also states that [the heroine] Ellen Porter's "thoughts have been my thoughts and her experiences mine also." The author would be well advised to seek another theme the next time.

The prolific and best selling Caldwell collaborates with [Jess Stearn in I, Judas], retelling the Judas Iscariot story from an angle that's unusual if not new. In what might almost be called The Gospel According to St. Judas, the protagonist describes how, loving Jesus more than the other disciples and having more faith in him, he "betrays" him only that Jesus may prove his messiahship and liberate both Israel and humankind. Judas tries to show, moreover, that it was really he who was betrayed…. The authors follow the events of the New Testament drama closely, give it a setting of some historical authenticity, and recreate, with middling success, its major participants, including John the Baptist,...

The collaboration of Taylor Caldwell and Jess Stearn on their second novel, I, Judas, has resulted in an exceptionally interesting work….
Judas is depicted not as a poor thief, but as the educated son of a wealthy aristocrat. He sacrificed a large inheritance to follow Christ. We learn from Judas' actions that he is somewhat of an elitist, as he speaks of "another bleak Galilean fishing village with country clods in evidence wherever we went," a chauvinist, "for anybody who knows about women recognizes that they are the most devious and self-centered of creatures," but above all, a patriot devoted to freeing Israel from the tyranny of Rome. Caldwell and Stearn portray the character of Judas...

[Taylor Caldwell's Bright Flows the River] is anti-establishment, anti-feminist, anti-democracy, anti-family, anti-power, anti-duty, and in fact anti almost everything save the right and the need of the individual to make the correct choice and philosophy of a way of life that is not counter to his very basic, personal tenets. Caldwell's prose is, most of the time, majestic and almost poetic. The characters, mostly men and four or five of the women, who she has peopled this—her thirty-second book—with, though not realistic or believable to me, are indeed unique.
The plot of the book itself is fascinating and easy to follow. Guy Jerald is a man who has gone after the American Dream of rags...

After thirty-two novels it's good to see that Taylor Caldwell hasn't lost her touch. Her superb style of storytelling turns the ordinary theme of Bright Flows the River into an extraordinary and memorable novel….
The only reservation that I have is that some of the characters border on clichés, but this somehow did not detract from my enjoyment. In a novel in which most of the action takes place in the minds on the characters, Caldwell manages to sustain the suspense of an adventure story. I think that this is a relevant and thought-provoking book.

Although there's no dearth here of Caldwell's portable sermonettes on such evils as soft living, [Answer As a Man, a] turn-of-the-century Pennsylvania tale of rags to riches and love tangles, has the ease and zip of the author's earlier period. The hero and true M-A-N of the title is Jason Garrity, only approved kin of his grandfather, Bernard. Bernard is another true M-A-N, plumping for solid male strength and putting a fist in the face of the flabby, whining, slimy world. As for wimmin: "they should niver have the rearing of men children." So Jason has enough gumption to survive childhood and youth in a shantytown house with his widowed mother, his fatuously religious brother John, his dazzlingly beautiful,...

Taylor Caldwell is a shining exemplar of Grey Power, still churning out highly successful novels in which she loftily pretends the 20th century—at least in fiction—never happened.
Millions of readers must agree that the narrative innovations of Proust and Joyce, to say nothing of Beckett and Borges, were all a mistake; that old-fashioned linear realism is still the best mode for fiction. So her ["Answer as a Man"] reads the way the works of Arnold Bennett or Theodore Dreiser would read if they hadn't been geniuses. On a certain level, Miss Caldwell steadfastly insists on providing a "good read."
This time her hero is Jason Garrity, born at the end of the 19th century to a...

Halloween has become increasingly popular over the past few years, especially for pet owners. According to a recent survey conducted by the National Retail Federation (NRF), seven in 10 Americans plan to celebrate the holiday this year, with the average person spending nearly $80 on costumes, decorations, candy and other Halloween items.
But the holiday isn't just for children any more. In fact, the NRF's annual Halloween spending survey revealed that 15 percent plan on including their pets in the festivities by dressing them up. It's not surprising, considering many people treat their pets as part of their families.
The Associated Press reports that the assortment of pet Halloween costumes available at nationwide pet retailer PetSmart more than doubled last year, although company officials wouldn't divulge how many they sold. They did share which costumes are most popular for our furry friends - bumble bees and pumpkins.
Whether you choose a store-bought costume or make one on your own, pet health experts say there are some things to keep in mind if you plan on dressing your cat or dog in costume this Halloween.
According to PetsLady.com, dog and cat owners should take the same precautions when it comes to pet costumes as they do with costumes for their human children. For instance, it's important to put safety first and ensure there are no small pieces that can be chewed off.
In addition, costumes should not be overly snug or restrictive to the animal's breathing and movement. Your pet's eyes, ears and nose should not be covered. If a mask is used, it should leave plenty of room for the eyes and should not affect the animal's vision.
Experts say it is often helpful to allow your animal to wear his costume ahead of time so he can get used to it. And, it shouldn't be forced if he is clearly miserable with it on.
Whether you plan on dressing your cat or dog up for a Halloween party or parade, or to go trick-or-treating, it's important to remember to keep them leashed or in a carrier.
Keeping chocolate and other sweet treats meant for humans away from your pet is also crucial, as they can be dangerous if eaten by animals. If your pet ingests these foods, you should contact a veterinary hospital. Keep an eye out for more Halloween pet safety tip articles this month.

If you just had a baby, are expecting, or are taking care of a young infant it's important to create a safe sleep environment for your baby. Because babies spend much of their time sleeping, the nursery should be the safest room in the house. Take a few moments to learn about safe sleep.
With any crib, bassinet or play yard, follow a few simple rules to keep babies sleeping safely. Bare is Best!
• To prevent suffocation, never place pillows or thick quilts in a baby's sleep environment.
• Make sure there are no gaps larger than two fingers between the sides of the crib and the mattress.
• Proper assembly of cribs is paramount - Follow the instructions provided and make sure that every part is installed correctly. If you are not sure, call the manufacturer for assistance.
• Do not use cribs older than 10 years or broken or modified cribs. Infants can strangle to death if their bodies pass through gaps between loose components or broken slats while their heads remain entrapped.
• Set up play yards properly according to manufacturers' directions. Only use the mattress pad provided with the play yard; do not add extra padding.
• Never place a crib near a window with blind, curtain cords or baby monitor cords; babies can strangle on cords.
For more information please visit the Safe to Sleep® public education campaign led by The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and in collaboration with other organizations.

Christin's Cuts: Johnny's Gone Fishing
Johnny's Gone Fishing is a landmark in Carrboro that has been in existence for more than 40 years. Having seen multiple incarnations from a bait and tackle shop to what is now, a community institution and cultural destination, Johnny's mere inventory sets it apart. There's locally roasted coffee, glass bottle cokes, eggs, milk, candies and cakes. It's a general store meets environmentally friendly coffee shop and the outcome is nothing short of wonderful. Local musicians play indoor tunes every Thursday and Sunday and there is also a community garden. No matter your taste, preference or activity level, Johnny's has something to offer.
Johnny's has endured its share of battles the past two years. But the neighboring community and Johnny's owner, Jan Halle, have worked out their differences and found common ground. Jan took charge of the property, installed a new manager, Susan Siplon, and developed a new vibe that everyone could get with. It's a testament to the community of Carrboro and Johnny's staff that things were settled with grace and understanding.
Johnny's has withstood a history that would have crumbled many a business, but through good human nature, neighborly love and a passion for community, Johnny's lives on…

Just because something was published in a book doesn't mean it it's better or gospel.
What the what lol? You're saying everything your grandma or mom or whomever made when you were a kid came out of a book? That everything you make is prepared by someone else's standard? There is no one right way to do things is all I said. If someone likes more or less of something and it works for them that doesn't mean it's wrong.
This is my first attempt at making a Pizza Hut pan pizza clone. I generally make New York-style pizzas but my family loves Pizza Hut. The recipe I used for this was the 22 ounce scaled version that Pete-zza calculated in another thread. My directions are as follows:The yeast was added to the water and allowed to activate and dissolve for 10 minutes. Next, I mixed in the salt, sugar, and dry non-fat milk. This combination was poured into a KitchenAid mixer followed by flour and vegetable oil. After a 10 minute kneed using the hook attachment, I let the dough rest, covered, inside the mixing bowl for 10 minutes before rolling it out into a 12-inch circle. The dough was then placed into a Chicago Metallic Non Stick 14-Inch Deep Dish Pizza Pan (epicalien recommended this pan earlier in this thread) with 4 ounces of vegetable oil placed in the bottom. The top was covered using plastic wrap and the dough was proofed for 1 hour. Afterwards, I placed the dough into the refrigerator for approximately 12 hours. It was removed 2 hours before baking.I preheated the oven to 500F with a FibraMent stone placed on the middle rack. Before topping, I slightly depressed the middle of the dough, leaving a 1 inch edge-crust. The pizza was topped with Jackie Tran's sauce recipe, which was a near-perfect imitation of Pizza Hut's. I used 2 cups of low moisture part skim mozzarella (though I saw an ex-Pizza Hut employee say that they used 3 cups on their large pan pizzas, 4.5 if it's a cheese pizza). Half of the cheese was put on top of the sauce, followed by diced onions and green peppers, then the other half of the cheese. I finished topping it with pepperonis. Before going into the oven, I sprayed the edge crust with a vegetable oil cooking spray. The pizza was baked for 12 minutes on the stone.The pizza turned out great and it will be a recipe that I try again in the future. Thanks to everyone who put in effort on cloning this!
I want to make this one but ferment time is only 12hrs. I want to do a 24hr cold ferment instead. How should I adjust the yeast?
Nate,The answer depends on whether you make your dough in the same way and under the same conditions as xsosx did. While we know how xsosx made and managed the dough for his pizza, we don't know at what temperature the dough fermented. We can only assume that his dough went from room temperature into a refrigerator that might have been at around 40 degrees F. If you make and manage your dough exactly like xsosx did and your refrigerator temperature is around 40 degrees F, I would simply cut the amount of ADY in half, to reflect your longer fermentation window. If your refrigerator temperature runs higher or lower than normal, you will have to tweak the amount of ADY in one direction or the other to compensate.Peter
I want to make a 12' pie using the pan below. Is your recipe for a 12' or 14'? I also forgot to mention I will be using IDY instead. How does that change my yeast amount for a 24hr ferment?
Do u think this aluminum American metal craft or my dark Chicago metallic pan will produce the best results? I want to also make a test pizza in a 9in pan. I saw in another thread u referenced that a 14in was 22oz, 12in was 16oz. Am I to assume that a 9in would be 9-10oz?
I would hit that like a madman...nevah too much sauce for Bob! I sure hope you do this again Nate, you should be able to dial 'er in now mate.
Had pizza hut last night.Proofing in swaths of oil is definitely key. Also some type of no-knead dough.
What do you mean by that Mike; thanks.
I doubt that there is any no-knead dough involved. PH went to frozen dough for its pan pizzas many years ago. The only places I am aware of that use fresh dough are PH stores outside of the U.S. and Canada. Peter
Here is a version of "pizza hut origial pan pizza" that I came across. Don't ask how I got it or else I'd have to kill ya I don't know if this is anything close to what you pizza hutters are making or using, so I can't vouch for it's authenticity. I haven't tried it. Pizza Hut Original Pan Pizza 1 1/3 cups Warm water (105F) 1/4 cup Non-fat dry milk 1/2 teas. Salt 4 cups Flour 1 Tbls. Sugar 1 pk. Dry yeast 2 Tbls. Vegetable oil (for dough) 9 Oz. Vegetable oil (3 oz. per pan) Butter flavored Pam Put yeast, sugar, salt, and dry milk in a large (2 qt.) bowl. Add water and stir to mix well. Allow to sit for two minutes. Add oil and stir again. Add flour and stir until dough forms and flour is absorbed. Turn out on to a flat surface and knead for about 10 minutes. Divide dough into three balls. In three 9" cake pans, put 3 Oz. of oil in each making sure it is spread evenly. Using a rolling pin, roll out each dough ball to about a 9" circle. Place in cake pans. Spray the outter edge of dough with Pam. Cover with a plate. Place in warm area and allow to rise for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Sauce: 1 8 Ounce Can Tomato Sauce 1 Teaspoon Dry Oregano 1/2 Teaspoon Marjoram 1/2 Teaspoon Dry Basil 1/2 Teaspoon Garlic salt Combine and let sit for 1 hour. For Each Nine Inch Pizza: 1. Preheat oven to 475F 2. Spoon 1/3 cup sauce on dough and spread to within 1" of edge. 3. Distribute 1 1/2 Oz. shredded mozzarella cheese on sauce. 4. Place toppings of your choice in this order: Pepperoni or Ham Vegetables Meats (cooked ground sausage or beef) 5. Top with 3 Oz. mozzarella cheese 6. Cook until cheese is bubbling and outer crust is brown. 7. Cut in six slices.

I am having acne with pus and red bums on my face everyday one each on my face, I too got acne scars on my face. Please help me with some natural home remedies and to whiten the skin. How to get rid of these fast?
Yauvan pidika or acne vulgaris is an inflammatory skin disorder which is prevalent in both males and females. When the sebaceous glands present on skin produce excessive sebum, the hair follicles present on skin get clogged leading to the formation of acne. According to ayurveda, kapha, pitta & rakta and meda or fat dhathu are responsible for producing acne.
Ayurvedic treatment aims to eliminate the problem from its root. Herbs like Lodhra (Symplocos racemosa), Manjishtha (Rubia cordifolia) and Kushta (Saussurea lappa) are known for their properties to reduce acne. Turmeric (Curcuma longa) and Chandana (Santalum album) are also effective in treating acne. The application of Jaiphal (Myristica fragrans) and Khas-Khas (Vetiveria zizanioides) is believed to provide satisfactory results. Neem (Azadirachta indica), Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia) are known for their blood purifying properties, which can lessen the occurrence of acne and pimple in the long run.
The following are some of the ayurvedic remedies for treating acne:
- To reduce the growth of pimple, rub powder of jamun (Syzygium cumini) seed and apply it on the pimple.
- The peel of orange has medicinal properties that can be used effectively in the treatment of pimple. Make a paste of orange peel powder and rose water; apply it on your face on a regular basis. It is an effective remedy that cures acne and improves the skin tone.
- To achieve an immediate result, apply a paste of lodhra (symplocos crateigodies), vach (acorus calamus) and dhania (coriander). Improvement will be noticed within 7 days.
- A paste of red chandan (red sandalwood) and jaiphal (nutmeg) are also effective in reducing the appearance of acne and pimples.
- Apply a paste of masoor dal (red lentils) with milk, ghee and camphor on your face. It reduces the appearance of acne and clears the scars which are left behind.
- Prepare a paste of lemon, kalaunji (seeds of fennel flower) and milk. Apply it on your face on a regular basis before going to bed. Wash your face with lukewarm water in the morning. This remedy ensures speedy disappearance of acne.
- Make a mixture of nimbu (lemon), extracts of tulsi (basil) and black kasundi (coffee pods), dry it in sun and apply the mixture on face. It is a powerful remedy that is known to cure the problem of acne.
Besides these home remedies, a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle will also enable you to reduce the risk of recurrent acne.

Especially common in children, but not entirely impossible in adults, Atopic Dermatitis is a type of eczema, a chronic condition that causes intensive itching and red rashes in and around areas of dry and sensitive skin. Atopic dermatitis has a tendency to flare and then subside periodically and is often accompanied by hay fever or asthma or other allergies. In more serious cases, clear, fluid-filled blisters are also formed.
Signs and symptoms normally associated with atopic dermatitis may include:
- Itching, which may be severe at nocturnal periods of the day
- Dry or cracked, scaly skin
- Reddish brown patches in almost any area of the body
- Swollen and sensitive skin after scratching
- Small, raised blisters which may leak when scratched
The exact causes of atopic dermatitis are unknown. It can, however, be related to any of the following factors:
- Dry and irritable skin
- Immune system dysfunction
- Gene variations which affect the skin's barrier function
- Action of bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus, on the sensitive areas of skin
- Environmental conditions
If you have Atopic Dermatitis, you are likely to be troubled by the following complications:
- Chronic, itchy skin
- Increased risk of acquiring other skin diseases and viruses, such as the herpes simplex virus
- Asthma and hay fever
- Eye problems such as blepharitis and conjunctivitis
- Allergic contact dermatitis
- Sleep disorders
- Irritant hand dermatitis
- Behavioral problems such as attention deficit or hyperactivity disorders
Treatment and drugs:
If the problem still persists even after regular moisturising and other self-care steps, you may have to take medications and prescribe to certain drugs such as:
- Anti-itching and anti-inflammatory creams
- Anti-itching oral drugs
- Anti-inflammatory oral or injected drugs
- Calcineurin inhibitors that repair the skin
- Drugs to fight infection
- Wet dressings therapy
- Light therapy
- Stress treatment therapy
If excessive hair is stopping you from living and enjoying your life, consult a dermatologist who can help you with an effective treatment.
Urticaria or hives are red, raised lesions that occur anywhere on the body, usually around the trunk, hands and legs. They appear as small round rings or large patches that changes shape, may itch and be surrounded by a red flare. They can be acute or chronic, with acute almost always being an allergic reaction. It is often due to unknown causes, ranging from chronic irritation to parasitic infection to temperatures to water types.
Homeopathy treats diseases as a whole, and similarly, when treating urticaria tries to identify associated symptoms and thereby treat the cause also. After a detailed discussion about predisposition and associated symptoms, a customized remedy will be prescribed, which may include one of the following common homeopathic remedies.
- Apis Mell: The hives consist of isolated patches that are painful, tender, itch at night, feel like bee stings, become purple. There is burning pain, slight fever, and warmth of the surrounding skin. It is worsened by changing weather and exercise, causing severe itching and burning. The patient may already have asthma.
- Arsenic Album: The urticaria is caused by eating shellfish and causes burning and restlessness. The condition gets worse being at the seaside and by getting into sea water. Arsenic is also useful to treat urticarial symptoms during the recession of the lesions. The person also could be down emotionally with depression, despair, indifference and irritability. If the lesions are more severe, the restlessness is also severe. It is worse after midnight, from 1 to 2 a.m.
- Rhus toxicodendron: Prepared from the leaves and bark of the plant poison ivy, Rhus works on multiple body systems including skin, joints, eyes, extremities, and overall vitality. In addition to urticaria, it is also used in cellulitis, arthritis, fevers, etc. It is effective if the urticaria has a burning sensation, inflamed reddened rash that is worsened by cold and improved by warmth.
- Urtica urens: Made from a plant called stinging nettle, which itself has a tendency to produce urticaria, it is used when there is urticaria from bee stings or after eating shellfish. The lesions are red with severe burning and itching, recurring every year, could be associated with weather changes.
- Natrum Muriaticum: The common salt sodium chloride is potentized, and its inner healing power activated. It is used for chronic urticaria, where the lesions develop after severe irritation.
- Dulcamara: The lesions develop followed a general prickly sensation setting in and at night when it is cold and damp. The hives are irregular white patches surrounded by a red area that itch badly. The hives are associated with violent cough, swelling of the lymph nodes, fever, restlessness, sleeplessness, decreased appetite, nausea, vomiting, bitter taste, and intense aching in pit of stomach.

We all have different skin types. While some have dry skin, others have oily. So if you have oily skin, then here are 5 tips to keep in mind, to keep your skin oil free. Oily skin is usually a constant problem in every season since even after washing the face properly it becomes very oily after some time. And, if some cosmetic is applied, then also it makes no difference, the skin remains as oily as ever. Now dermatologists offer various solutions to this problem. Even though you might come across home remedies like the sugar and lime scrub or yogurt, turmeric paste, it is always better to seek professional help for oily skin.
There are mainly 5 skin types:
- Oily: This skin type has too much oil, which can be seen on the face even after cleaning it.
- Dry: The dry skin lacks essential moisture and looks very dry.
- Normal: The normal type of skin is neither dry, nor too oily and not too sensitive also.
- Sensitive: Sensitive type skin is very sensitive and is easily affected by weather changes or any other factor.
- Combination skin: Combination skin is, in which some parts of facial skin are dry and others are oily. Use non comedogenic and powder based cosmetics.
Here we are going to deal with the oily skin type and its treatment. Oily skin appears to be greasy and teenagers often face the problem of oily skin during their puberty. Oily skin can also be caused due to heredity, diet, hormone levels, cosmetics usage and humid or hot weather. According to dermatologists, diet plays an important role behind oily skin. Consuming oily or fried food or having too much oil in your diet can be the reason behind your oily skin. Weather can also make your skin oily. Humidity especially causes the oil to come out of the pores and give your face a greasy look.
Tips to treat oily skin:
- Use a gentle face wash or cleanser and reduce the use of toner: Use a gentle face wash to wash your face at least twice a day to reduce the oil levels. Also reduce the use of toner, and if you use toner then try using an alcohol free one.
- Keep yourself hydrated: Keeping yourself hydrated is very important as the face starts releasing oils if the skin is not hydrated properly.
- Try the home remedies carefully: You might not know the exact concentration of lemon in a sugar lemon scrub, as excess of lemon can cause allergic reactions. So apply home remedies with discretion.
- Use the cosmetics according to your skin type: Cosmetics are very important for a woman and if your skin is oily, it's better to choose non comedogenic and powder based cosmetics
- Consult a dermatologist for quick solution: We all know that a doctor knows the best cures to all our ailments, so try consulting your dermatologist for a quick solution to your problem of oily skin.
A well moisturized and hydrated skin is a thumb rule for a healthy skin. Dry and flaky skin is not only discomforting and unpleasant to look but is also prone to many skin problems. Dry skin or xerosis dermatitis is more common among elderly. Dry skin can cause the skin to crack making it susceptible to infections. Constant scratching of dry skin due to itching is further harmful and can cause thickening and darkening of the skin. Extreme temperature especially winter with cold, dry and chilly winds can be harsh on the skin and disturb its pH level, thus causing skin problems.
Apart from external factors, internal factors such as hypothyroidism, psoriasis and type 2 diabetes can also cause dry skin.
One of the most common skin problems from dry skin is Eczema. Eczema, generally acquired in childhood is an inflammatory reaction of the skin causing the skin to become red and itchy followed by crusting and scaling. Treatment of eczema is usually a combination of creams and drugs. However, eczema does not go away that easily and its relapse rate remains quite high.
Exposure to sun for long hours can also lead to drying of the skin. Apart from this use of harsh soaps and chemical based products or prolonged use of cosmetics on the skin can inhibit the ability of skin to retain moisture.
Dry skin tends to age faster as it is prone to wrinkles. A wrinkled skin loses its charm and elasticity. The whole concept of anti ageing revolves around keeping the sun hydrated and moisturized.
Many skin problems can be prevented only by following a good skin care routine. Others may require a long-term medical treatment. Let's look at some simple and useful ways to prevent and manage dry skin:
Water: Water is not only a natural cleanser for the skin but helps in maintaining an optimum moisture level of the skin. Drink at least 8 to 10 glasses of water every day.
Steam baths: A warm water bath or a steam bath can help relieve skin of dryness.
Oiling of the skin: People with dry skin benefit more from oiling than the use of regular moisturizers. Oiling creates a protective layer on the skin preventing it from drying for longer hours. Use of almond, olive or coconut oil is effective is treating dry skin problems.
Prolonged use of room heaters: Heaters snatch moisture from the surrounding environment including your skin leaving it dull and dry. Thus sitting in heated rooms for long can dehydrate skin and must be avoided as far as possible.
Water-rich fruits and vegetables: Fruits and vegetables, especially, water-rich like watermelon, bottle gourd etc. can help replenish moisture. Eat plenty of those to fight dryness.

Vegan Shoe of the Month: Combat Boots
The following is a guest post by PETA staffer Royale.
Who is the vegan vixen?
She is strong, but compassionate; she is a lover and a fighter; and she is down for the cause and for causing a scene. In a word, she's a trooper. And this trooper is all about wearing her heart on her feet.
The lace-up combat boot is the perfect look for enemy-engaging, animal-defending dames. It's coming in hot this fall, and with plenty of vegan options, there's no excuse for animal casualties. Mid-calf or knee-high or buckled, zipped, or laced, each pair comes with a personality all its own. Just add activist.
So lace up, it's time to kick some fur-wearing, animal-experimenting, meat-eating derrière, ladies. Don't like our style, Nuclear Wintour? Tough chic.
And just so you know, the vegan versions are signified by the pink heart!
Be all you can be in boots that are cute and cruelty-free!
Forward march in fashion-forward footwear!
Rough-and-tumble reaches new heights … of compassion!
So which pair will you be giving cruelty the boot in? Tell me in the comment section below.
Commenting is closed.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on Vegan Boot.
@Jacob You can get a beliefs exemption that would allow you the vegan boots, (even non tan ones,) for your ACU, IIRC!
Love is a hole in the heart.
I wish they were tan, that way I can wear them in my ACUs
Cheri – only the ones with the pink hearts are vegan.
Not sure why Kors boots are showcased, although these ones may be vegan he is a very well known user of fur in his line, so his products should be boycotted
this is great article… great focus on dr martens boots.
i am big fan of women shoes.
i m very happy to learn about these boots.
thanks for sharing it.

The real deal on those unusual things in your new skin care products.
The claim: A potent antioxidant found in purple varieties of potatoes and carrots and in the Australian kakadu plum, anthocyanin promises to fight free radical damage caused by the sun�s UV rays and build collagen in the skin.
The proof: �There has been a decent amount of research looking into anthocyanin as a natural sun-protection agent with basic science showing that it also can stall the growth of precancerous skin cells,� says Dr. Adam Friedman, assistant professor of medicine and director of dermatologic research at Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
The claim: Derived from algae and kelp, seaweed extract is rich in proteins, vitamins and minerals that balance and tone your skin, and serves as a powerful humectant (attracts water).
The proof: �Seaweed functions very similarly to hyaluronic acid that�s naturally found in your skin, which holds 1,000 times its weight in water� meaning it can pull water into the skin to hydrate it,� Friedman says.
The claim: The bamboo plant contains a high level of silica, an element that supports collagen in the skin to give it a youthful glow. Silica naturally depletes as you get older, resulting in a dry and wrinkled complexion.
The proof: �Bamboo extract is an effective anti-aging ingredient because it's the richest known source of silica,� says Dr. Debra Jaliman, author of Skin Rules: Trade Secrets from a Top New York Dermatologist.
The claim:�The metal promotes the production of collagen and elastin, helping to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
The proof: �Copper is just like vitamin C�it�s important for the formation of elastin in the skin. More research still needs to be done on its efficacy in topical applications, but in theory, it works,� Friedman says.
Egyptian Neroli Oil
The claim: This essential oil extracted from the flowers of an orange tree is said to help maintain the right moisture and oil balance in the skin to keep it supple and soft.
The proof: �Neroli�oil is an emollient that moisturizes the skin well,� Jaliman says.
The claim: The baobab fruit�s pulp is chockfull of antioxidants to protect the skin from free-radical damage that can lead to wrinkles and sun spots.
The proof: In addition to antioxidants, baobubis also rich in amino acids, B vitamins, calcium and potassium, Jaliman says. �With this potent roundup, it does�protect the skin�against free radical damage.�
The claim: Jade is believed to slow down cell aging and contains vital elements for the human body, such as minerals, calcium, magnesium and water.
The proof: �There�s nothing that I know of or studies I could find to support these claims,� Friedman says.
The claim: This flower blossom has a long history of use as a wound-healing and skin-soothing botanical, which makes it a popular moisturizing agent in beauty products.
The proof: Not only does calendula have great promise as a moisturizer, Friedman says, �in clinical trials, it prevented free radical damage�though more research needs to be done with topical applications of it.�

Man arrested in Iron River on assault, drug charges
Paraplegic athlete to speak to Iron Mountain students
By LINDA LOBECK
Staff Writer
IRON MOUNTAIN – One moment can change your life. And this is something that motivational speaker Chris Waddell will talk about to students at Iron Mountain High School on Friday.
The public is also invited to attend the presentation at 9 a.m. Friday in the IMHS gym.
Supt. Tom Jayne said that the visit by Waddell to IMHS is made possible through the efforts of Stephanie and Dave Brule II. The Brules, who know Waddell, first proposed the idea to the administration and went ahead and arranged for the visit.
Waddell was a ski racer at Middlebury College in 1988 when his ski popped off in the middle of a turn. He fell and broke two vertebrae and damaged his spinal cord.
The result of the accident was that he was paralyzed from the waist down.
That one moment – on Dec. 20, 1988 – changed the course of his life. Waddell returned to college just two months after the accident, started monoskiing less than a year, and was named to the U.S. Disabled Ski Team a little more than two years after that life changing moment.
Since that time, he has won 12 paralympic medals and has become the most decorated male monoskier in history.
In addition to skiing, he had also been a track athlete. He is one of a handful of competitors to have won World Championships in both the winter and the summer events. Waddell competed in four Winter Paralympics winning 12 medals and three Summer Paralympics winning a silver medal in the 200 meters in Sydney – bringing his total medal count to 13.
Waddell was inducted into the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame and the Paralympics Hall of Fame. The Dalai Lama honored him as an Unsung Hero of Compassion.
With still more to achieve in his life, Waddell retired from paralympic competition and decided to take on another challenge.
Months of training and preparation took him to Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Africa in September 2009. Waddell became the first paraplegic to summit the mountain under his own power. His team carried him for about 100 feet of the 19,340 foot mountain.
When Waddell became the first person to summit Kilimanjaro, he used a handcycle. His trek is documented in the 2010 film, "One Revolution."
In talking with students, Waddell says that after his accident he refused to focus on what he could not longer do. And in an interview with the television news show, "20/20," he said that the accident was the best thing that had ever happened to him.
"I felt like a transformed person. I felt, in a lot of ways, like the person that I'd always thought I was, like the best form of myself," he said.
Waddell is also the founder of the One Revolution Foundation and through an educational program developed by the foundation called Nametags, he speaks throughout the country.
During his talks, he shares his universal message – "It's not what happens to you. It's what you do with what happens to you."
Waddell currently lives in Park City, Utah and travels year-round making presentations for school programs, speaking to corporate groups and screening the documentary.
He is also working on a book to chronicle his journey while also planning his newest adventure – a cross country bike tour to highlight the foundation.

There's Still Investor Appetite for Yum! Brands
More important, the company understands the stomach also serves as a gateway to investor profits. As with the company's Pizza Hut chain, Yum! has delivered. But it hasn't come easy.
While Yum! Brands is without question a dominant force in the restaurant business where it competes with McDonald's
Despite these concerns, the company has persevered. The stock is still up 6% on the year and even reached as high as $72.32 on April 1, representing gains of 10%. The credit here goes to management, which has done an excellent job mitigating the damage while taking the appropriate steps to ensure consumers that the chickens (if cooked properly) were safe to eat. It's going to take more time for that message to sink in. This showed in the company's first-quarter results.
The company has made it known that China, which is the world's second-largest economy, is an increasingly important market. Yum! has made considerable investments in that region to the extent that China accounts for more than half of the company's annual sales. But preserving the company's reputation has been a struggle.
Now, with same-store sales in China falling 29% in April, the company must figure out a way to preserve its market share, especially following a 13% decline in same-store sales for March. China customers are not quite ready to forgive, which means investors must now prepare for the possibility that growth may not come back for quite some time. I believe management understands this.
For the first quarter, which ended March 23, Yum! posted 70 cents in earnings per share, which declined 8% when excluding special items. Weakness in China really took a toll here. Pperating profits plummeted 41%. This was partially offset by 19% profit increase at Yum! Restaurants International and a 5% profit increase in the U.S. division.

Expert Q & A Answers About types of birth control
Can birth control pills make orgasms more difficult to achieve?
I'm 16 and I've been on birth control for a long time. I recently started taking a certain brand, and all of a sudden my ability to orgasm went away...but I had been able to masturbate to orgasm before with no problems. So I decided to switch pills again to see if that would fix the problem...but nothing's changed, even though I've been on it for almost a whole pack. Are birth control pills ruining my orgasms? Will I ever get my orgasms back?

Way too few pecans. There must have been something like 5 or 6 HALF-pecans in the box I received. In the end this is just an overpriced corn flakes/oat clusters mix. It's not bad, but clearly not what I was expecting at all.

Once again, the fruit tops the list of dirtiest produce.
If that apple you reach for every day isn't organic, you may not be keeping the doctor away in the long run, according to the Environmental Working Group's annual Dirty Dozen�list, which highlights the produce picks most likely to be contaminated by pesticide residue. Once again, apples were found to contain the most amount of pesticide residue, which can be toxic to the nervous system. (Though the EWG reminds consumers that eating non-organic produce is still healthier than eating none at all.) RELATED: 7 Germy Sins Meanwhile, green bean fans can relax�the veggie is no longer on the list. Lettuce and blueberries have also cleaned up their act, but in their place are cherry tomatoes and hot peppers. For the second year in a row, the EWG expanded its warning, which helps consumers prioritize which fruits and veggies to buy organic, to include 14 items, noting this year that popular veggies kale and summer squash are not the worst offenders but still contain potentially dangerous amounts of pesticides. The 2013 Clean Fifteen list, awarded to the least contaminated types of produce, is nearly identical to last year's, except watermelon was replaced by papayas this year. (But don't erase the summer favorite from your BBQ menu�it's still No. 13.) The EWG compiles both lists based on data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration. Here's the complete run-down: The 2013 Dirty Dozen: Apples Strawberries Grapes Celery Peaches Spinach Sweet bell peppers Nectarines (imported) Cucumbers Potatoes Cherry tomatoes Hot peppers Plus: Summer squash Kale and collard greens Clean Fifteen: Corn Onions Pineapples Avocado Cabbage Sweet peas Papayas Mangoes Asparagus Eggplant Kiwi Grapefruit Cantaloupe Sweet potatoes Mushrooms Brought to you by: Spry Living
