Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of A Family and Culture in Crisis by J.D. Vance
Vance, a former marine and Yale Law School graduate, provides an account of growing up in a poor Rust Belt town that offers a broader, probing look at the struggles of America's white working class. The decline of this group, a demographic of our country that has been slowly disintegrating over forty years, has been reported on with growing frequency and alarm. J.D. Vance tells the true story of what a social, regional, and class decline feels like when you were born with it hung around your neck.
The Vance family story begins hopefully in postwar America. J. D.'s grandparents were "dirt poor and in love," and moved north from Kentucky's Appalachia region to Ohio in the hopes of escaping the dreadful poverty around them. They raised a middle-class family, and eventually their grandchild (the author) would graduate from Yale Law School, a conventional marker of their success in achieving generational upward mobility. But as the family saga of Hillbilly Elegy plays out, we learn that this is only the short, superficial version. Vance's grandparents, aunt, uncle, sister, and, most of all, his mother, struggled profoundly with the demands of their new middle-class life, and were never able to fully escape the legacy of abuse, alcoholism, poverty, and trauma so characteristic of their part of America.

Allegheny Front: The Mary McCarthy Prize in Short Fiction Selected by Lydia Millet, authored by Matthew Neill Null
The deceptively powerful stories in Null's first collection, after his debut novel Honey from the Lion, create a map not only of the geography of rural West Virginia but also of its people. These are characters inhabiting places largely ignored by the outside world. In "Mates," a man kills an endangered bald eagle on his land, believing himself to be above the law, and is then stalked and tormented by the eagle's mate. In "Gauley Season," a group of ex-miners turn to operating rafting companies after their mining jobs disappear, but the promising new industry quickly leads to tragedy. The rugged lives of a group of log drivers in the late 1800s are chronicled in "The Slow Lean of Time." In the astonishing "Telemetry," a young scientist's camp on Back Allegheny Mountain is visited by a local man and his daughter, their presence forcing the scientist to confront her relationship to her own origins, which becomes a recurring theme in the collection. Violence is inevitable in these stories-guns are almost always present, and they aren't just decoration-but there is plenty of beauty, too. Landscape is an essential element, as well as the constant presence of wild animals, but Null focuses on the ways that a setting can shape how we identify with the world. The scope of the collection contains voices from multiple generations, and the result is a kaleidoscopic portrait of a distinctive region of North America, as well as an exercise in finding the universal in the particular.

An observation worth noting: I have recently been approached by a growing number of people wanting to build a web site for their business. This would have been a much more daunting process even a few years ago. However the Web has evolved to meet these needs more easily. There now exist many online storefronts through which small businesses can be run. Though I am unable to recommend one service over another, either through direct experience or secondary knowledge, here are a few of the more popular selections that can help anyone get started.

TV Is Dead. Long Live TV
In these lean times, we're all looking for ways to cut household costs. You may be pondering whether you should ditch the cable TV or the broadband Internet to free up $50 a month. Take my advice and lose the cable. Heck, even if you aren't in a financial pickle, go ahead and dump it. Your life will be better for it. Here's why.
Maintaining your privacy online is a tricky matter, as I'm sure you know. And though you're using a firewall as well as anti-spyware software, and you've password-protected your computer, that does almost nothing to keep your information secure online. Here are some ideas to help keep you to yourself when surfing the Web. For your convenience, I've divided the information into basic and advanced sections.

Our Business Directory is as complete as we can make it for the present. It shows the organization of the city, the courts, the churches partially, the several societies, together with the date of their meetings, and also our active business men, individually, as firms.
Good health, enough wealth, long life, happy families—the stuff that dreams are made of. But most Americans' lives fall short in one or more of these areas, and often it's the midlife years (40s to 50s) where things start to go haywire. If you're one of the many, many people who feel that just when they got the hang of the game, the rules completely changed, read on.
Work, Retirement, and Financial Planning
What's different about money management at midlife?
We were recently interviewed for possible inclusion in a book about word-of-mouth-marketing. The authors are intrigued with how we market our library services and resources not just to our patrons, but also to our funding organizations, other libraries, and other organizations. For example, staff have used free software programs to create a video entitled "Who Needs the Public Library?," which you can view on YouTube in our crrlvideo "channel."

For more than a decade, boarded up shops have blighted Dartford town centre and Lowfield Street. It's an eyesore and simply unacceptable.
Many shops complain that they're struggling because their costs are always going up. Labour would cut business rates for small businesses.
There are so many young people struggling to find work. So we should be supporting our young entrepreneurs, designers and start-ups to open premises in Dartford.
We don't have to watch our town centre die. It needs a new vision and start – an alternative shopping space that supports independent traders and encourages live-work units.
For example, we could be offering them rate free premises for the first couple of years – isn't it better to see shops occupied than empty or boarded up? Other towns have turned themselves around. So can Dartford.
Jaswinder Singh Narwan
Small business owner, Dartford town centre
"Dartford town centre has been left to rot by the Tories for the last 12 years. It desperately needs a fresh start and I know as MP for Dartford, Simon will make that one of his priorities. Small businesses like us should be the life-blood of the town. Labour would help us by cutting business rates. But many shops in Dartford are simply lying empty -- Simon wants to see these used to encourage start-ups and create an alternative successful high street and market town again."

Delinquency and foreclosure rates for U.S. mortgages continued to rise in the second quarter, with loans to the most qualified borrowers going bust at an unnerving clip, especially in hard-hit states such as Florida and California. The numbers reported Thursday by the Mortgage Bankers Association show clearly that rising job losses are worsening the nation's housing troubles and threaten the Obama administration's efforts to keep owners from losing their homes. The quarterly National Delinquency Survey showed that almost one in 10 homeowners with a mortgage was at least one payment late, and thus delinquent, while another 4 percent had entered the foreclosure process on their loan.
Hey, what haven't the Govt. said is bad for us???
If you're planning a garage sale or organizing a church bazaar, you'd best beware: You could be breaking a new federal law. As part of a campaign called Resale Roundup, the federal government is cracking down on the secondhand sales of dangerous and defective products. The initiative, which targets toys and other products for children, enforces a new provision that makes it a crime to resell anything that's been recalled by its manufacturer.
Hey, read the article; notice immediately they start saying it's not all that bad....
Workplace suicides surged 28 percent last year, the Labor Department said Thursday, as anxious workers dealt with a struggling economy and watched colleagues depart in a rash of layoffs.
Manufacturing employment in the U.S. peaked in June 1979 with 19,553,000 jobs (data here), and by July of this year manufacturing employment had fallen to 11,817,000, the lowest level of manufacturing jobs since April 1941 (see chart above).


text: Hi, my friend has this strange cartridge. Her aunt gave her a ds which was flashed with the modified firmware. She also got a gba cartridge that had one of those 32 in 1 games made from China. Anyway, the strange thing about the cartridge is the operating system. It was the operating system of supercard. It had only one pcb, the cartridge has no labels at all and the microsd is inserted on the left. The thing that struck me the most is that the microsd is not spring loaded. The only way to remove the card is by opening the cartridge in order to remove the microsd. Anyway, here are some blurry pictures. Is this thing upgradeable?

To celebrate National Reading Month, we're asking some of our staff to talk about some of their favorite books growing up as a kid and the impact they made on them. This week's entry is from Karen Dewhirst, our Museum Experience Manager – Science and Exhibits.
Blueberries for Sal by Robert McClosky
Sal is picking wild blueberries with her mother and eating more than she put in her bucket (who hasn't done that?). When she wanders away from her mother she meets a bear cub who has done the same thing; wandered away from its mother intent on enjoying ripe blueberries warmed by the sun. I loved that she wasn't afraid of the bear cub and that kids, bear cubs, and other young creatures have a lot in common. I also loved that the illustrations are in blue ink, because everyone who has ever picked blueberries has telltale blue fingers to show for it. I wonder if I love to eat and grow blueberries because of this book?
The Little House by Virginia Lee Burton
The Little House is the story of a little country house that is loved and cherished by her family. The little house is happy and glad to care for her family. However, over time, the family moves away and the city encroaches all around the little house. She becomes sad, and dirty and neglected with no one to love her. Until another young family comes along and moves her out to the country again and fix her up. To this day, when I look at homes, I can see their faces and their personalities and have a desire to fix them up to their original glory.
Ping by Marjorie Flack
Ping is a domesticated duck that lives with his many brothers and sisters on a boat in the Yangtze River. He is always the last one to get back on the boat at the end of the day and gets a spank on the back from his master. One day, Ping decides he will explore some more instead of being last again and getting a spank. He discovers that even though the world is exciting and full of adventure, a spank is a small price to pay for the comfort and companionship of home. For a kid living in suburbian Michigan, this was a very exotic book. It made we want to see the unusual boats and the different people who lived on those boats (I actually ended up living on a boat for a time myself!). I loved Ping's adventurous nature, his bravery for striking out on his own and respected him for coming to the revelation that family is most important thing.

It is difficult to please your father's. How many of you agree with this statement? I am sure many, because it's not that they don't like what you buy for them, they'd rather you spent it on yourself. So, no matter your gift, they're always ready with their "but I didn't need it" speech. Right?
Well, this makes it extremely difficult for us to get the perfect gift for our fathers. But worry no more, I have the perfect solution for you. Why don't you gift them the "gift of choice". Yes, I am talking about a gift voucher. Get them a gift voucher for their favourite store, and you'll never have to hear the "I don't need it" comment again.
Giving your dad a gift voucher can have multiple advantages:
- One, he cannot say no to it on the basis of need. A gift voucher is practically a form of cash, and he can spend it on anything.
- Two, this gives him choice. Maybe your dad does not want to spend on anything luxurious, but rather buy some household item, or some DIY tools. By giving him the choice, you're practically giving him liquid cash to spend as he pleases.
- Three, the time scale. Usually gift vouchers come with a long time validity, and thus you dad is in no rush to buy. He can think and buy whatever he wants, within that time period.
All you have to do is get in touch with the gift voucher printing suppliers and your job would be done.

Date of Award
Spring 1933
Degree Type
Thesis - Restricted
Degree Name
Master of Arts (MA)
The purpose of this thesis is, primarily, to ascertain whether or not the publication of crime news in Milwaukee's four leading dailies has increased with the advent of economic stress, and whether the newspapers showed more sympathy in recent years to print accounts relevant to crime. With these points in mind the years included in the survey were selected for the following reasons: 1928, a year of prosperity; 1929, a year in which the business cycle started to dip downward, resulting in the general upheaval of the stock market in November, and 1930, a year of intense strife. As a secondary objective, the thesis proposes to disclose which of the four leading dailies in Milwaukee publishes the greatest amount of crime news. Also, since the crime accounts were segregated into their respective categories, the survey sets out to discover what type of crime news the four dailies were most concerned with, how it was "played up" on page one, the show window of the newspaper, and how much space from 1928 to 1931 was devoted to pictures relating to crime. While this survey was in progress, the author was well aware of the fact that the newspapers have decreased in size in 1930, in comparison with the boom year, 1928, because of an apparent loss of advertising revenue. Probably the survey may disclose that because of the fact that the newspapers gave more space to financial news, this may have had some influence on the volume of crime accounts published.

Furious 7 femme fatale and Ultimate Fighting Champion Ronda Rousey has landed the starring role in a remake of 1989 Patrick Swayze film Road House.
Rousey will step into the role originated by Swayze and portray a bouncer hired to clean up a rowdy bar in Missouri.
Moviemakers at MGM are currently searching for a screenwriter to pen the script and they are planning to begin production next year (16).
According to Variety.com, Rousey reached out to Swayze's widow, Lisa Niemi, to ask for her blessing before accepting the role.
The original Road House also featured Ben Gazzara, Sam Elliott, Kelly Lynch and Marshall Teague, who is thrilled by Rousey's casting.
He tells TMZ.com, "Adding Ronda is a great idea. You don't want to try to rebuild Patrick Swayze. He was a unique talent and can't be duplicated. Ronda knows it's not going to be easy. Fans of the original might question her, but we all know she will do great."
And Rousey can't wait to get started, stating, "It is a great honor to play a part in celebrating the life of a man that inspired so many. I couldn't be more grateful to have this opportunity to pay respect to the beloved Patrick Swayze. I promise to work incessantly to make sure this project is a tribute his family and fans."

Anyway, here's what I've found so far: $18.10 for airmail parcel post, which would be insured, but gives no option offering tracking. It also doesn't indicate that tracking comes with th price, and in my experience it doesn't. Also from USPS is global express for $21.00, which includes insurance. Again, nothing about tracking possibly being part of the service and no tracking add-ons offered.
The other options are UPS, with $41.50 being the best price I could find. Insurance is included and I'm fairly certain they track. There's also FedEx for $40.75. Last but not least, apparently FedEx priority would cost less than their saver, to the tune of $30.15. The one thing with FedEx is that last time I shipped I went to a customer counter and was charged something like $11.00 extra (the shipping itself was about $5.00) for the privelege of using the shipper. I'm very wary of losing that much money again.
If you have experience in the matter (or know something I don't, such as whether global express is tracked), please let me know. Thank you in advance!

text: I think out of the two years of blogging, no one has ever told me the importance of being authentic. Sad because this is a very important concept when it comes to being a great blogger. And the concept makes sense. Think about it, would you rather read or hear someone talk about something the same way everyone else has talked about it as if they were reading a generic script or would you want to hear real feelings and opinions, no matter if they went with the general consensus or not? I have learned and am still learning that being authentic is more beneficial as a writer in the long run. I believe it makes you more creditable and it doesn't come off as you're just reporting on a story because you know it will get you views. And sometimes being an authentic blogger means having an opinion that doesn't go with the norm, and that's ok. That sets the foundation for a great debate that you can have with your readers and other bloggers. What do you guys think?

About Yoko "Tenyoh" Sugawara
Artist Statement
It is difficult to illustrate human complexities artistically. However, I believe the messages that my art conveys are indispensable to society. Our humanity cannot grow without opportunities to reflect upon ourselves. Art is my vehicle to communicate that.
My former occupation as an international health-care worker provided me with opportunities to associate with people with diverse backgrounds. The hands-on experience taught me that emotional commonalities were more striking than our differences. I believe this is true between individuals, across different cultures, and throughout human history. Therefore, my art does not represent any particular group of people. It depicts human nature collectively, capturing both strength and weakness that may co-exist in the same heart. Empathy that I cultivated as a nurse helps me perceive situations with deeper understanding. New concepts for my creations often emerge through these perceptions and insights. Even though my choice of art media has shifted from oil painting to ceramic sculpting, the central theme has remained unchanged.
My art mirrors the complexity of the human condition. It is my invitation to the viewer to take a journey of self-reflection.
Current Project
Historically, comparatively few artists have successfully achieved the skill to express subtle variations of emotion. Yet, this is the key to reaching the viewer's heart. I have made significant improvement in this skill, and the next few years will be devoted to furthering it, so that my art may communicate with the viewer at the deepest levels.
With that goal in mind, I have created a series of busts portraying human resilience. Their expressions honor ordinary people whose unwavering perseverance has brought positive changes to history. Recreating their irrepressible spirit through this project, I wish to instill a seed of hope for the future course of humanity.
My Japanese Artist Name
Tenyoh, inherited from my family, means an ocean looking down from a mountaintop. My name carries boundless possibilities.

Today's post is about the ever so neglected face. You probably aren't as bad as me when it comes down to keeping up a great skin care regime, but I've decided to make a change! When I say change, I do mean attempt to give it a good go and trial products effectively to see what works best for me.
Let me just give you a low down on my current facial state. I have for as long as I can remember suffered from spots. They come in the most awkward places and go leaving their mark - arhhh! After doing research I realised I get blackheads (which is a form of acne) due to the opening of the follicle being wider than normal so the sebum and dead skin cells have a chemical reaction with the air. Oxidation of melanin occurs and this is what we know as the dark discolouration.
I am trying to find products that 1. agree with my skin,
2. prevent spots
3. reduce the dark spots
Are those too much to ask???
So my hunt began and these are what I got:
This is going great so far. The pump is very handy to use. It removes dirt and excess oils off the face, de-clogging the pores completely making my face feel nice and fresh. I reckon I would gain a bigger benefit from this product if I used it AM and PM. Currently I use it PM and my Simple cleanser AM, so a bit of a mix match. After I carry out this routine the skin feels as smooth as a baby's bottom and appears brighter. I feel I need to use it for a good few months to really see a difference.
CLINIQUE anti-blemish solutions clearing moisturizer
I have been using this daily for about 3 weeks and I find the application is very soft and easy to do. I apply it before makeup and when I do, I feel a minty burning sensation but just for a brief few seconds. I guess this is the 'soothing formulae' claimed to prevent future breakouts. I feel that it it is hydrating eliminating any dryness which I love to give my skin before applying make-up.
ORIGINS spot remover
I have tried, tested and would recommend this fully. I know skin types are different so I appreciate this may not work for everyone but OMG, what are samples there for. Basically I was just popped into the shop and say the products and the sample was just watching me. After hearing about the hype, I didn't know if to buy it straight away and sample it properly without makeup on. My mum just picked it up and started applying it to my spots (about 3 of them) saying "just try it out and see if you like". The next day, poof! The red, round spots had reduced without much evidence left behind. I got so excited and bought it the next day.
It contains: Salicylic Acid- that instantly speeds healing
Anti-spot technology- helps correct post blemish darkening
Caffeine- skin calming
Red Algae- relieve irritating redness
Super Exfoliators-eliminate excess oils and pore-clogging debris
I just dab a little blob on newly risen spots and within 1 to 2 days, the spot has settled back down and/or gone.
The cons would have to be the gel that dries into a shiny, peely surface acting as a protective barrier. This is why I use it only at night. I used this everyday but the size of it is tiny but cute at 10ml, so I need to control my usage.
I love this!
Have you got any skin products you recommend?
Thanks for reading :)

After a quiet winter there has been significant activity in state legislatures to enact, strengthen or clarify their data breach notification statutes. The latest happenings are summarized below and we have updated our "Mintz Matrix" to reflect these new and pending laws.
New Mexico
Last week we alerted you that, at long last, data breach legislation was sitting on the desk of New Mexico's governor. On April 6th, Governor Susana Martinez signed the Data Breach Notification Act, which passed unanimously in the state's House and Senate, and with the stroke of her pen she finally ended New Mexico's unenviable status as one of only three states without a data breach notification law on the books. We are keeping an eye on the last two outliers – Alabama and South Dakota – and will keep you up to date if we see any meaningful legislative activity in these states.
Click here for the final text of the statute and please review our previous blog post for the nitty gritty details about the legislation. The law will go into effect on June 6, 2017.
The Tennessee legislature has been tinkering with the state's data breach notification statute since last year and earlier this month passed an amendment to clarify some confusion arising out of its 2016 amendment. This latest amendment clearly states that businesses experiencing a breach of encrypted computerized data do not need to notify affected residents unless the key necessary to defeat the encryption is also compromised as part of the breach. Click here for the full text of the amended statute. The amendment became effective on April 4, 2017.
In Virginia, legislators are clearly well-aware of the rampant W-2 phishing e-mails that have plagued businesses in recent years and cost many states millions of dollars as a result of payments made and investigations conducted on fraudulent tax returns. To combat this wildly successful scam, Virginia has amended its data breach notification statute to ensure that its Attorney General and Department of Taxation is aware when employers and payroll service providers experience a breach involving taxpayer identification numbers and withholding information. Click here for the full text of the amendment (see italicized language in § 18.2-186.6(M)). The amendment will become effective on July 1, 2017.
The amended portion of the statute applies to employers or payroll service providers who experience a security breach (i.e. unauthorized access and acquisition of personal information) involving unencrypted and unredacted computerized data containing a taxpayer identification number in combination with income tax withholding information for that taxpayer. Following such a breach, and a determination that it is reasonably likely to cause identity theft or fraud, the employer or payroll service provider must notify the Attorney General and provide its name and federal employer identification number. The Attorney General will then notify Virginia's Department of Taxation.
It is important to note that this amendment supplements the existing statute and applies only to employers and payroll service providers.

Quick Tips to Make your Neck Look Younger
One of the first signs that your body is aging is the sagging neck. And how does this happen? Well, the muscles on the neck are not attached to any bones or ligaments that would ensure them that they're stable, so as time passes, they start to sag. This is the main reason why the skin on the neck stops being elastic.
Many women try to correct this by spending thousands of dollars on cosmetic products that don't actually work for them.
So, why spend all of that money on something that does not give you the results you want, when you can try something that can actually work for you, and in the meantime is not expensive at all.
Additionally to this, we will give you some tips on how to make your neck seem younger. These are very simple methods, and all you will need to do is just follow the instructions.
Tips to Make your Neck Look Younger
- First, you can start by increasing your Vitamin C intake. It is one of the best natural antioxidants you can find. You can take it through food or with vitamin supplements. Studies have shown that if you combine it with an SPF moisturizer it gives much better results.
- Which lead us to the second method, which is avoiding the sun rays. The harmful UV sun rays can damage the skin, especially the part on the neck. This is why you should protect yourself by using sunscreen with at least 30 SPF and with titanium and zinc. Make sure you put sunscreen on every time you go out.
- What is the most important part of being healthy – the exercise. You should never forget this. You absolutely have to do some neck exercises, and you exercise for your entire body. Target those exercises that can give your neck with a firm and tight looks.
- Let's talk collagen. Do you know what it is? Collagen is the connecting skin tissue that ensures you that your neck will be firm, by also constantly reviving the skin cells. This is an extremely important factor for the elasticity of the skin. Because of this fact, many experts from all around the world advise that you use collagen supplements.
- Finally, another important factor is the omega 3 fatty acids and omega 6 fatty acids intake. These two compounds boost the collagen production and ultimately lead to a tighter and younger-looking skin on the neck. Foods that are rich in these nutrients are salmon, avocado, spinach, sardines, flax seeds and pumpkin seeds and so on. Best time for you to eat these foods is just before going to bed.

Prepare for Surgery, Heal Faster Program
To help you prepare for procedures, tests, hospitalization, or rehabilitation at Pelisyonkis Langone, we offer the program based on the techniques developed by Peggy Huddleston. This program teaches you how to feel calmer before surgery and during your recovery process.
We recommend that you start the program one to two weeks prior to surgery, but even one day of the program can provide benefits.
As part of the program, our trained facilitators conduct workshops to teach relaxation techniques by phone or in person. Relaxation imagery can be used during any procedure, but is especially helpful during MRI scans, biopsies, chemotherapy, endoscopy, radiation therapy, cardiac catheterization, physical or cardiac rehabilitation, and any other major therapies or procedures.
The program uses five steps to ease stress-related symptoms prior to surgery and improve recovery time. Using the instruction pamphlet and accompanying audio, you're encouraged to explore the process of relaxation.
By practicing deep relaxation, it is possible to reduce anxiety and promote a feeling of calmness, which in turn soothes the nervous system and helps strengthen the immune system. Relaxation also helps balance the endocrine and cardiovascular systems, which promotes overall healing.
On the day of your surgery, you can ask your surgeon, anesthesiologist, or operating room nurse to say healing statements to you prior to your procedure.
Prepare for Surgery, Heal Faster™ workshops are held by appointment only. Call -263-5767 to reserve a spot.
This program is offered free of charge to patients and their families and friends through a grant from The New Tamarind Foundation.
If you have completed the program, please . Your input helps us make improvements to the program.

In a World that is increasingly more complex and filled w/ uncertainty,
I like simple things that help me keep things in perspective and make me smile. Bicycles and sail boats are in this category. In the spiritual realm,
there is nothing so profound in it's simplicity and reliability as the Savior,
Jesus Christ.
Words of Encouragement :
John 8:12 I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.
Mat 11:28 Come unto me all you who are weary and heavy burdened and I will give you rest.
Jeremiah 29:11 ... I have plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
1 Corinthians 1:18 the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to those who believe it is the power of God.

Day 148: Black Friday Is Crazy
We did it. Yes, we ventured out of the house and to the mall on Black Friday. We did, however, wait until all of the craziness of the early morning mayhem had subsided. There still were a lot of people out and about around noon. We just made a quick walk through of the mall and back out.
I have gotten out earlier in years gone by, but never waited in line for hours and hours or days even to have a chance at getting that one thing that was advertised for a rock bottom price. I did go to Circuit City years ago trying to get a laptop, which I did not get. I do know people that have camped out in the cold or get out at midnight to wrangle up some deals. Me? Not anymore for this aging guy. I need my beauty sleep
I wonder what feeds the frenzy more - the retailers that try to cut the prices on a few things to draw people in or the people that want to get out there for the thrill of the hunt. I'd say it is probably equally both as one couldn't do what they do without the others participation. But, it is a choice by both.
It is a neutral choice to go Black Friday shopping, but there are many other choices that we make that are cut and dry, black or white issues. Keeping with the shopping theme, if you desire something so much that it consumes your thoughts it has become an idol to you. That is until you get it, then it loses its luster and something else that is sparkly catches your attention. That is our nature, we are very rarely satisfied with the things of this world. It is because we were created with a higher desire for us, to desire a relationship with God. Our fallen nature keeps us from desiring that though, as we look to our flesh to fill those desires. We hobble through this life consuming sin after sin and shunning God day after day. We want nothing to do with God until He pours His love upon us.
When God initiates the relationship we are then able to pursue that relationship that we forsook our whole lives. We are then able to give back that love, although fallen in nature. We have a desire then to please God and we actually are sorrowful over our sins to the point of repentance. We can then full trust in God and the work on Calvary through the blood of Christ for our sins. We are then changed into a new creation whose focus turns more from "me" to a more "God" perspective. The sanctification process is then carried out until we leave this world and join with the Father. As we get closer to Him we start seeing just how much sin we have in our hearts, His light exposes those dark crevices one at a time as He prunes those sins from us.
If you are still wallowing in your sin and loving it, not repentant about the relationship you have with your boyfriend/ girlfriend. If you can lie without it bothering you one bit or if you hate someone without a just reason you are a murderer to God. He has high standards and no one in and of themselves can attain them. Only through Christ can you attain His standards. Only trusting in Him and what He has done for you will save you. Have you done that? What is your hold up? Cry out to Him to change you.

Some impressions of old and recent Science Fiction movies, from Star Trek Into Darkness to Cloud Atlas to Atlas Shrugged: I thought J.J. Abrams dealt pretty well with the rascally immaturity of the new version of James T. Kirk by giving us a tale of maturation. Fine. Chris Pine is growing on me. I wasn't keen on this re-boot, but I think it could work out fine. (I'd like to see a more thoughtful use of the old (Nimoy) Spock. I believe he would be more nuanced in his "interference." Indeed, what's blatantly called for is an intersection of the parallel worlds, giving Pine (conveying different Kirks) even more range. But that awaits my someday having beers with Mr. Abrams.)
