Question About Fall Lip Color
With the seasons changing do you think it's ok to continue to wear light pink lipstick or change to something darker?
I don't follow any "rules" when it comes to makeup shades. Just wear what you want.
My first cosmetology instructor used to say "creative people are rule breakers" which I loved. Not sure where she got that quote from, but I sort of live by it. I say wear whatever color whenever you feel like it and who cares what the magazines and such decide are the "rules"
I think lipstick depends more on your outfit and you mood (: wear what feels right.
There are no rules! Wear whatever you want, whenever you want. But the trend for fall lip colors this year is dark plummy colors- and even straight up violet. :)
There are no rules just trends...and you can choose to follow the trends or not
amen! makeup especially lipstick should reflect your mood and self! pink looks good 365 days a year XO
I like the current trends, but right now I'm in love with bright lips, pastel lips.
The trends are bright pink, nudes, burgundy, coral, and matte red. :)
I think u can wear whatever u want... It doesnt hurt to try new things and blend in with the seasons..but i am pretty sure people never stay with one color during ANY season
Pink is always a good choice.
During the cooler months I reach for reds as opposed to fuschias. Other than that I wear pinky nudes and stuff.
Pink is always good! I personally have no season preference, but if you want a darker look, definitely go more hot pink than bubblegum pink. A brown-based pink is always great! I'm a huge dark lip girl, so I tend to reach for reds like Dubonnet :D
Wear burgundy if you want to be on trend, wear pink if you want to be yourself! Wear whatever makes you feel beautiful!
I love wine/berry sort of coloured lipsticks for fall, but wear whatever you want to! x
I also feel that you can wear whatever color. But some colors just look better in certain seasons. I am feeling like plums and read berry colors will be a hit this fall!
I prefer staying with the trends... But why should others opinions affect you? Do what you're comfortable with.
Red berry or burgundy is very in this fall... Styles are very classic but with fun textures. I've seen a lot of lace, and velvet type textures coming
Wear what makes u feel good!! I wore Orange today! I may wear nude bronze color tomorrow!! Ya never know! Lol!

The Palmerston North Rescue Helicopter has lost a MidCentral Health contract to transfer patients partly because its choppers can only land at the city's hospital in an emergency.
MidCentral Health announced yesterday evening that it had awarded its ambulance services contract for patient transfers to Helipro.
The contract is for transfers between hospitals. The Palmerston North Rescue Helicopter will continue to respond to accidents and emergencies across the central and lower North Island.
"There were two strong contenders for the contract which was decided by a panel of experts including clinicians," MidCentral Health Hospital Services operations director Lyn Horgan said.
"The decision to award the air ambulance patient transfers contract to Helipro was a combination of many factors including: equipment, service, and reducing the time taken for patients going by road transport to waiting air services."
Civil Aviation Authority regulations prevent single engine helicopters from flying over built-up areas unless in an emergency.
The Philips Search and Rescue Trust managed Palmerston North Rescue Helicopter uses single engine aircraft. This meant for most patient transfers, an ambulance must take the patient between Palmerston North Hospital and the helicopter's Milson base.
Helipro has two BK117 helicopters equipped to work as air ambulances, they are twin-engined craft so can land at the hospital even when it is not an emergency.
Helipro chief executive Rick Lucas said he was pleased his company would provide the service in association with the Central Regions Emergency Services Trust.
He said the Manawatu would continue to receive a high quality service under Helipro as it had with the Philips Search and Rescue Trust.
"We strive for excellence in every part of the operation and I think we put forward a very robust tender."
Helipro was a Manawatu-based company and its goal was to look after the region's people, Mr Lucas said.
Philips Search and Rescue Trust secretary David Wickham said while he was disappointed, the decision would not impact on the Palmerston North Rescue Helicopter's ability to respond to emergencies such as road accidents, searches and farm accidents.
"We are really quite disappointed but the DHB have made their call. We want to reassure the public in the region that the rescue helicopter is still going to be there just like we have been for the past 20 years."
The rescue helicopter had provided patient transfers throughout its 20 year history without any complaints, he said.
Mrs Horgan said MidCentral appreciated the service the Phillips Search and Rescue Trust had provided. The new partnership with Helipro would hold significant benefits for the community.
Helipro will take over the patient transfer service in the new year.

Patriot, I worked as a welfare caseworker for years until recently. The fraud problem is much, much worse than anyone has ever reported. I'm not talking people misusing their cards, or stores cheating the system...I'm talking people who are lying about their circumstances to get food stamps in the first place. Usually it's two parents living together and the one with the higher income isn't reported. Then the welfare recipient says he or she, the "absent parent," provides no or very little "voluntary child support." I've seen this scam dozens and dozens of times. Multiply my caseload by the number of caseloads in this country, and you have a huge incidence of fraud.

Italian government breaks up after Berlusconi pulls out ministers
This is Italy at its best. Shades of the post-WWII Italy with turnstile governments. It's a tragedy for the people, but more power for the Berlusconi and other types who love power and would rather destroy government. Reminds me in a way of the GOP in the House.
Vacation's over. Time to kick it up a notch. Vat version 2.0 is the reality. Angela has been chosen and the leaders of the Golden Dawn are in chains. What a winter this is going to be.
To all you uneducated morons that think a "third political party" is the answer to all of our problems look to my ethnic homeland as proof of your stupidity. These European Mexicans as my friend calls me can't agree on what time to have lunch let alone run a country. This issue is decades old. If you look at Europe…they have tried almost everything. Chances are if it didn't work there it won't work here.
This planet is dominated by left and right wing tails that wag the dog.
Italy . So beautiful and rich with good people and history. Controlled by a few criminals called politicians……….
Sounds like the United States, doesn't it?
Letta should never have challenged Burlosconi's center-right party to support him in a confidence vote in parliament. Seems Burlo called his bluff.
that's bad for the development of Italy
that's bad for Italy's development
Italy has been, since the fall of the Roman Empire, and will continue to be a failed state.
gosh, i thought this young girls molester Berlusconi was already in jail…
Time for Italy to reshuffle its politics, without the slightest shadow influence from lusty, deceitful Berlusconi. Not the first time Italy runs smoothly premier league soccer without a working government. I admire their people living peacefully in anarchy.

Comet Lovejoy (C/2013 R1) continues to impress into December 2013
Comet Lovejoy is now putting on a superb performance in the early morning sky for Northern Hemisphere observers. At the end of November, it reached 4th magnitude and was visible to the naked eye. The comet was easily seen through binoculars and small telescopes, appearing obviously non-stellar with a nice fuzzy halo and tail. For the remainder of the year, Lovejoy keeps in almost as good shape. Although predicted to fade slightly during December, it should remain an easy binocular and small telescope target, although more difficult with the naked eye.
Location and star chart
Lovejoy started December in Boötes at magnitude +4.3. Traveling in a southeastern direction it then passed just south of Nekkar (β Boo - mag. +3.5) on December 2nd before crossing the border into Corona Borealis on December 4th. The comet then moves through Corona Borealis until December 12th when it enters Hercules, remaining there until the end of the year. During this time Lovejoy is expected to decrease in brightness to magnitude. +6.0. It remains well placed for observation from northern temperate locations, appearing reasonably high above the eastern horizon during the early hours of the morning. However, from the tropics and Southern Hemisphere, unfortunately the comet won't be visible until next year.
The finder charts below show the positions of comet Lovejoy from December 2 to December 30, 2013 and from November 27 to December 11, 2013.

Geminids meteor shower peaks on December 13/14, 2013
The Geminids or "Winter Fireworks" is one of the finest annual meteor showers with this year shower peaking on the nights of December 13 and 14. During peak activity up to 120 meteors per hour, many of them bright, can be seen under perfect conditions. However, sadly this year the waxing gibbous Moon will somewhat interfere with the Geminids during peak time. Of the other annual showers only the August Perseids comes close to attaining such highs.
Parent asteroid
The Geminids are unusual in that the source object is an asteroid, 3200 Phaethon. Together with the Quadrantids, they are the only major meteor showers not originating from a comet. Phaethon has an unusual orbit that brings it closer to the Sun than any other named asteroid, although there are several unnamed asteroids that do approach closer. At perihelion, the point of closest approach to the Sun, Phaethon is only 0.14 AU distant with the orbit being more like that of a comet than an asteroid. At perihelion it approaches the Sun to within less than half that distance of the innermost planet Mercury, while at aphelion (the point of furthest distance from the Sun) it is 2.4 AU distant and further from the Sun than Mars. It is perhaps a little strange that no cometary activity has ever been connected to Phaethon but nevertheless, the Earth passes through the debris field, resulting in the Geminids meteor shower.
Phaethon was the first asteroid to be discovered using images from a spacecraft. While investigating data from the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS), Simon Green and John Davies discovered Phaethon on October 11, 1983. Its diameter is only 5.1 kilometres (3.2 miles).
The Geminids radiant or the point in the sky where the meteors appear to emerge from is very easy to find. At the time of peak activity, it is located very close to Castor (α Gem). Castor is a multiple star system that has a combined apparent magnitude of +1.6, making it one of the brightest stars in the sky. Even brighter at magnitude +1.1 and located only a few degrees southeast of Castor is Pollux (β Gem), the brightest star in Gemini.
LINEAR (C/2012 X1) a binocular and small telescope comet during December 2013
Comet LINEAR produced a major outburst in October and suddenly brightened by over 100 times to magnitude +8.5 and hence within binocular and small telescope range. Since then the comet has been stable, no more major outbursts and only marginally changing in brightness. With the comet heading towards a February 2014 perihelion date, it remains on course to reach naked eye visibility early next year.
Location, magnitude and star chart
LINEAR moved into the northern constellation of Boötes in early November and remains there until December 6th. During this time the comet moves slowly in a southeasterly direction against the fixed background stars. It then passes into Serpens Caput (the northern part of split constellation of Serpens) before entering Hercules on December 26th.
During November, LINEAR was visible with large binoculars (e.g. 20x80s) and small telescopes, appearing diffuse, but not too difficult to see. Now into December, LINEAR is expected to brighten gradually and should be visible with common 7x50 or 10x50 binoculars by the end of the year.
From northern temperate latitudes, LINEAR is well placed for observation towards the east before sunrise. It's also visible from the tropics, although much closer to the horizon. Unfortunately, from the Southern Hemisphere, LINEAR is not observable until February 2014.
The finder chart below shows the positions of comet LINEAR from November 16 to December 28, 2013.

The Planets this Month - December 2013
Mercury reached greatest western elongation last month (Nov. 18th) and was visible for most of November just before sunrise from northern temperate and tropical latitudes. With an orbital period of only 88 days, Mercury takes little time in switching between greatest elongation (east or west) and conjunction (superior or inferior). In December, superior conjunction arrives, which the planet passes through on the 29th. Although the planet is too close to the Sun to be visible at superior conjunction it may still be glimpsed from the tropics and northern temperate latitudes as an early morning object rather low down in the sky before dawn during the first week of December (mag -0.7). For Southern Hemisphere observers, Mercury is inconveniently placed for observation during this time.
On December 1st, the thin waning crescent Moon passes only 0.4 degrees north of Mercury. Three weeks later on the 22nd, Mercury reaches aphelion at a distance of 0.467 AU (approx. 69.9 million km or 43.4 million miles) from the Sun.
From the tropics and Southern Hemisphere Venus remains a spectacular evening object during the first half of the month. From these latitudes, Venus sets over 3 hours after the Sun at the start of December decreasing slightly to 2.5 hours by the middle of the month. Northern Hemisphere observers have not had it so good during this apparition. However, during December the planet is also a lovely sight, low in the southwest sky at dusk from these latitudes.
Only during the second half of December does Venus draw rapidly in towards the Sun and consequently the period of visibility noticeably shortens. By the end of the month the planet has faded from a peak magnitude of -4.8 to -4.4. The phase of Venus decreases from 31% to 4% During December.
The waxing crescent Moon passes 8 degrees north of Venus on December 6th.
Mars remains an early morning object in December. The planet continues to improve in brightness, apparent size and visibility as it continues direct motion through the constellation of Virgo. At the start of December, the "Red planet" shines at magnitude +1.2 with an apparent size of 5.6 arc seconds. By month's end its brightness has increased by nearly half a magnitude to +0.8, with the apparent size increasing slightly to 6.8 arc seconds. Telescopically, the apparent size of Mars is still relatively small but amateur astronomers with medium size scopes or better should be able to spot some of the planets more prominent markings.
What's noticeable, especially to the naked eye, is the brighter Mars becomes the more apparent its deep red-orange hue. Mars is also the easiest planet to monitor movement against the "fixed" background stars.
By the end of December, Mars rises an hour or so after midnight and on December 26th, the last quarter Moon passes 5 degrees south of Mars.

Jupiter is now a spectacular sparkling object moving retrograde amongst the stars of Gemini. The planet rises in the east just after sunset and remains visible for the rest of the evening. During December, it brightens slightly from magnitude -2.6 to -2.7 with its apparent size increasing marginally from 45 to 47 arc seconds.
Jupiter current location favours Northern Hemisphere observers since the planet is located in the northern section of the sky. From Southern Hemisphere latitudes, Jupiter appears closer to the horizon, but still unmistakable due to its brilliance.
Telescopically the planet is a gem. Even a small instrument shows the main cloud belts. Through a medium or large sized telescope a wealth of additional detail is visible. Also easily seen, but not always at the same time are Jupiter's four brightest moons, Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto.
On December 19th, the almost full Moon passes 5 degrees south of Jupiter.
Jupiter during December 2013 - pdf format
Saturn, mag +0.6, was at solar conjunction early in November before reappearing in the morning sky at the very end of the month. It's now visible towards the east-southeast before dawn. By the end of December, the famous "jewel" of a planet rises some 4 hours before the Sun from northern temperate latitudes and only slightly less from locations further south.
Saturn is currently located in Libra and on December 1st and December 29th the thin waning crescent Moon passes 1 degree south of the planet.
Uranus, mag +5.8, is now two months past opposition but still remains well placed for observation. During December, the seventh most distant planet from the Sun is visible as soon as it's dark enough until after midnight.
Uranus starts December moving retrograde in Pisces, before crossing into neighbouring Cetus on December 12th. The planet then reaches its second stationary point on December 18th - signaling the end of this year's opposition period - after which direct motion is once more resumed. The next day, Uranus moves back into Pisces where it remains for the rest of the month.
On December 11th, the waxing gibbous Moon passes 3 degrees north of Uranus.
Lovejoy (C/2013 R1) a naked eye Northern Hemisphere comet during December
Sadly it seems that much hyped comet ISON (C/2012 S1) may not have survived intact when it passed incredibly close to the Sun - within 1.87 million kilometres or 1.16 million miles - during perihelion on November 28th. Although ISON may have fizzled out, there is another comet currently visible to the naked eye; it's name, Comet Lovejoy (C/2013 R1).
Location and star chart
At the end of November and the beginning of December, Lovejoy reaches its peak brightness period. On November 30th, the comet was at magnitude +4.3 and visible to the naked eye. It was an easy binocular object with a 2 degree tail and should remain at this magnitude for a few more days before fading slightly during the rest of the month. We now predict that Lovejoy will dim to magnitude +6.0 at the end of 2013.
Lovejoy remains superbly placed for northern hemisphere observers until well into 2014. It's positioned high in the morning sky as it moves through Canes Venatici, Boötes, Corona Borealis and then into Hercules. However, those located in the Southern Hemisphere aren't so lucky; Lovejoy won't be observable from mid-November until early February.
The finder charts below show the positions of comet Lovejoy from November 27 to December 11, 2013 and from November 22 to November 30, 2013.

Comet Lovejoy (C/2013 R1) remains a naked eye object, easy with binoculars
Comet Lovejoy is now naked eye from a dark site and should reach peak brightness during the last week of November. The comet that was discovered by Australian amateur astronomer Terry Lovejoy shone at mag. +5.2 on November 21st and is expected to remain at least this bright for a few more days, before fading. From light polluted skies, spotting the comet with the naked eye can be difficult and hence a pair of binoculars or small telescope may be required.
Location and star chart
For the rest of 2013 and into 2014, Lovejoy keeps in good condition for northern hemisphere based observers. It's positioned high in the morning sky as it moves through Ursa Major, Canes Venatici, Boötes, Corona Borealis and then on December 12th into Hercules, remaining there for the remainder of the year.
From southern temperate latitudes Lovejoy is no longer visible and won't reappear until early February 2014.

Comet Lovejoy (C/2013 R1) reaches naked eye brightness
Comet Lovejoy has now reached naked eye brightness from a dark site (mag. +5.4 on November 15th). Although spotting Lovejoy from light polluted regions with the naked eye is challenging, it's an easy target with binoculars and popular 7x50s or 10x50s models are ideal for the purpose. In addition, Lovejoy has not yet peaked in magnitude; it will continue to gradually brighten until it reaches about mag. +4.9 during the last week of November.
Location and star chart
During the second half of November, Lovejoy remains a well-placed early morning object - positioned high in the sky - for observers in the northern hemisphere. During this time it moves through the constellations of Leo Minor, Ursa Major, Canes Venatici and Boötes, traveling in a northeastern direction against the fixed background stars.
From equatorial regions it's reasonably well placed during the second half of the month, but from southern temperate latitudes Lovejoy is no longer visible and won't reappear until early February 2014.

Leonids meteor shower peaks on November 17, 2013 but Full Moon interferes
The Leonids is a famous prolific meteor shower associated with comet 55P/Tempel–Tuttle. It's active during the month of November with peak activity occurring on the night of the 16/17th November 2013. Much of the hype surrounding the Leonids derives from its history; it has produced some of the most spectacular meteor storms ever seen. One particular outburst in 1833 was of incredible proportions.
The comet that is the source of the Leonids is 55P/Tempel–Tuttle or more commonly known just as Temple-Tuttle. It is a periodic comet that was discovered by Ernst Tempel on December 19, 1865 and then independently by Horace Parnell Tuttle on January 6, 1866. With an orbital period of only 33 years, it can pass close to the Earth. On such occasions, the chances of a witnessing a super meteor storm are high indeed.
How to find Comet ISON (C/2012 S1) as it heads towards perihelion
There has been much written in 2013 about Comet ISON with early thoughts pointing towards a potential "Comet of the Century"; a dazzling sight, as bright as the Moon and visible in daylight. Now it's more than likely that ISON will fall well short of this mark but may not totally disappoint.
Comets are unpredictable and hopes for ISON have gradually eroded over the last few months as it failed to brighten as quickly as hoped. However, as this ball of "ice and dirt" hurls towards the Sun it should brighten enough to be visible with at least a pair of binoculars. There is a good chance it may be naked eye object in the early morning sky, from about November 15th until at least November 21st. With the possibility that it suddenly could ignite or equally disintegrate as it approaches perihelion (Nov. 28th), we're in for an exciting few days.
The best location to observe ISON is from the Northern Hemisphere. It will be observable in the early morning sky towards the east throughout the brightening period. For example, from 52N (e.g. London, England), ISON will be 11 degrees above the east-southeastern horizon 75 minutes before sunrise on November 19th. Hugging the eastern horizon at this time is Mercury (mag. -0.7) and just to the northwest of ISON is blue-white Spica (mag +1.0). At predicted magnitude +6.1, ISON is much fainter than Mercury or Spica but should be visible with binoculars. With a small amount luck, it may be brighter than this and visible to the naked eye.
For observers in the Southern Hemisphere, ISON is also visible, appearing low down above the eastern horizon as it brightens.
The finder chart below shows the path of ISON in Virgo from November 10th to November 21st. During this time it brightens from magnitude +8.0 to +5.6.

Comet Lovejoy (C/2013 R1) visible with binoculars
Comet Lovejoy, the fourth comet to be discovered by Australian amateur astronomer Terry Lovejoy, has now brightened sufficiently to be visible with popular 7x50 or 10x50 binoculars. As it continues to increase in brightness, Lovejoy will soon - at least from a reasonable dark site - be visible to the naked eye and is now predicted to peak at magnitude +4.9 during the last week of November.
Location, magnitude and star chart
During November, the comet continues to be a well-placed morning object for observers in the northern hemisphere. Those located further south are not so fortunate; from equatorial regions it's well placed for most of the month but from southern temperate latitudes, Lovejoy is only visible for about the first two weeks of November. After that it won't be observable until early February.
At the start of November, Lovejoy was located in the dim zodiac constellation of Cancer. On November 7th, it moved just south of beautiful naked eye and binocular open cluster M44 "the Praesepe" before continuing on into Leo on November 11th. As it approached and then passed by M44, Lovejoy was about magnitude +6.3 and a binocular object. Observations revealed a coma of about 10 arc minutes in diameter, although no obvious tail. The comet then cuts a brief passage through Leo, exiting on November 14th into Leo Minor. It continues to climb in a northeastern direction against the fixed background stars, consequently improving its altitude for northern-based observers. On November 16th, Lovejoy passes by star 30 Leo Minor (30 LMi - mag. +4.7). The comet on this day could be as bright as magnitude +5.2 and visible to the naked eye, with the star acting as a good finder object.
November 26th is the predicted peak brightness date for Lovejoy. Positioned in Canes Venatici, it's estimated to be about magnitude +4.9. The comet then slowly decreases in brightness as it heads towards perihelion on December 25th.
The finder chart below shows the positions of comet Lovejoy from November 5 to November 16, 2013.

Northern Taurids meteor shower peaks on November 12, 2013
The Northern part of the Taurid meteor shower peaks this year on the night of November 12th. Although the Zenith hourly rate (ZHR) or the number of meteors that can be seen per hour under ideal conditions is low, the Northern Taurids often produces fireballs that are a spectacular sight as they slowly pass by.
The source of this very old stream is comet Encke (2P/Encke), which happens to reach perihelion this year on November 21st. Unfortunately a 70% lit waxing gibbous Moon somewhat interferes with this years shower.
Parent Comet and Radiant
The Taurids have long been identified as an old meteor stream, with the first recorded observations made as far back as 1869. Although frequently seen during the remainder of the 19th century, it was not until 1918 that it was realised that a new meteor shower had been found. The Taurids are a little unusual in that they now have two separate shower radians caused by the gravitational effect of the planets, especially Jupiter. Although originating from the same parent comet, overtime they spread out to form two individual meteor showers, now known as the Northern Taurids (NTA) and the Southern Taurids (STA). Both Taurids have low Zenith hourly rates (ZHR), with the Southern Taurids peaking a week before the Northern Taurids. Despite the low numbers it's worth looking out for them as they often produce spectacular fireballs! In fact, when bright Taurids come, authorities are usually in for a busy night from a flurry of UFO reports!
The meteors are associated with periodic comet Encke (2P/Encke), which orbits the Sun once every 3.3 years - the shortest period of any known comet. Comet Encke and the Taurids are believed to be remnants of a much larger comet, which has disintegrated over the past 20,000 to 30,000 years.
The radiant for the Northern Taurids is large and centred at +3h 52m and +22 degrees. This part of the sky is located in the northwest section of the Taurus and only 3 degrees to the southeast of the famous naked eye open cluster, M45 or the Pleiades. Northern hemisphere observers are best placed to spot the meteors although they can be seen from locations much further south as well. As with all meteor showers the best time to look is after midnight.
Last chance to spot Comet Encke (2P/Encke) before it reaches perihelion
Comet Encke (2P/Encke) the periodic comet with the shortest orbital period of all know comets (3.3 years) is now visible with binoculars and small telescopes from the northern hemisphere and tropics. It can be seen low down towards the east in the early morning sky. Unfortunately, from the southern hemisphere it's not observable.
Recent observations at the beginning of the month put Encke at magnitude +7.7 with a bright core of about 2 arc minutes in diameter surrounded by a fainter coma some 10 arc minutes across. The comet will continue to brighten, although only slightly, until it peaks at about magnitude +7.1 just before perihelion (Nov. 21st). It remains visible to observers until about the 18th, before been finally lost to the bright dawn twilight sky.
At perihelion, Encke approaches to within 0.33625 AU (approx. 50.30 million kilometres or 31.26 million miles) of the Sun.
The finder charts below show the positions of Encke from November 3rd until November 18th as it moves through Virgo. On November 16th/17th, Mercury (mag. -0.5) will be positioned just a few degrees from Encke.

The Planets this Month - November 2013
Mercury passes through inferior conjunction on November 1st and is therefore too close to the Sun in the sky to be visible. However, the planet moves fast and just over two weeks later on November 18th, it reaches greatest western elongation (19 degrees). As a result, Mercury is observable from northern temperate and tropical latitudes as an early morning object from about the second week of November until the beginning of December. This also happens to be the most favourable morning apparition of the year for observers at these latitudes. For example, from 52N (e.g. London, England), the planet will be 10 degrees above the southeast horizon about 45 minutes before sunrise on November 18th. Mercury altitude then decreases each following day until it's lost to morning twilight in early December. The planet is at its brightest after greatest western elongation; for example brightening from magnitude +0.7 to -0.7 between November 10th and 30th. For southern hemisphere observers, Mercury is inconveniently low down during this time.
Mercury (mag. -0.7) passes 0.3 degrees south of Saturn (mag. +0.7) on November 26th.
Venus reaches greatest elongation east on November 1st when the planet is situated 47 degrees from the Sun. It remains a stunning object after sunset during November from the tropics and the southern hemisphere. Even at the end of the month Venus still sets over 3 hours after the Sun from these latitudes.
However, northern hemisphere based observers have not had it so good during this apparition of Venus. Although visible, Venus has been very low down above the west-southwest horizon after sunset. During November, the situation does improve slightly with Venus becoming a lovely sight towards the southwestern horizon at dusk by months end.
The magnitude of Venus increases from -4.4 to -4.6 during November with the planets phase decreasing from 50% to 31%. The waxing crescent Moon passes 8 degrees north of Venus early on November 6th.
Mars continues to gradually improve in brightness and apparent size during November as the distance between us and the "Red planet" continues to decrease. It remains an early morning object during November, starting the month at magnitude +1.5 with an apparent size of 5 arc seconds and ending November at magnitude +1.2 with an apparent size of 5.5 arc seconds.
Telescopically, the apparent size of Mars is still small but now amateur with at least a medium size scope may be able to tease out some of the more prominent markings.
On November 25th Mars moves from Leo into neighbouring Virgo and on the 27th, the waning crescent Moon passes 6 degrees south of Mars.

Jupiter is now a brilliant object amongst the stars of Gemini. The largest planet in the solar system rises in the early evening from northern temperate latitudes, a little later from locations further south, remaining visible for the remainder of the night.
During November, Jupiter brightens from magnitude -2.4 to -2.6 and it's apparent size increases from 41 to 45 arc seconds. Jupiter reaches its first stationary point on November 7th, which signals the start of its 2013/2014 opposition period. After this date it commences retrograde motion.
On November 22nd, the waning gibbous Moon passes 5 degrees south of Jupiter.

Saturn reaches solar conjunction on November 6th. From northern temperate latitudes the planet will be inconveniently placed for observation during November. However, it may be glimpsed from the tropics and southern hemisphere low down just before sunrise towards the east-southeast at the very end of the month.
Uranus reached opposition at the beginning of October and remains well placed for observation during November. It's visible towards the east in Pisces as soon as it's dark enough until the early hours of the morning.
During November, Uranus fades very slightly from magnitude +5.7 to +5.8 but remains a very easy binocular or small telescope target. On November 14th, the waxing gibbous Moon passes 3 degrees north of the planet.
Crunch time approaches for Comet ISON (C/2012 S1)
November promises to be an exciting time for all as predicted wonder comet ISON reaches perihelion at the end of the month. The comet, discovered at the end of last year, has an orbit that brings it within only 0.01249 AU (1.87 million kilometres or 1.16 million miles) of the Sun. When a comet approaches our star at such a small distance anything is possible - equally possible a spectacular object visible during daytime or a disintegrating ball of ice and dust that fades away into oblivion.
ISON is currently predicted to reach naked eye magnitude on or around November 21st. It then continues to increase in brightness until it peaks on November 29th, the date of perihelion. It's now believed for a short time that ISON could reach magnitude -6. However, as with all comets nobody can be certain and it could be magnitudes brighter or magnitudes fainter than this value. After perihelion the comet will rapidly decrease in brightness but still remain visible to the naked eye for at least another week or so.
The best location to observe ISON is from the Northern Hemisphere. It will be observable in the early morning sky towards the east throughout the brightening period. Observers in the Southern Hemisphere don't have it as good as their northern counterparts, ISON remains low down throughout this time.
The finder chart below shows the path of ISON from October 28th to November 15th. During this time it moves from Leo into Virgo and brightens from magnitude +9.9 to +7.0. It should then be within the range of binoculars.
Comet ISON Finder Chart from October 28 to November 15, 2013 - pdf format
Comet LINEAR (C/2012 X1) bursts into view
Following a sudden outburst of activity there is now a further comet within amateur telescope range. Comet LINEAR (C/2012 X1) was expected to be about 12th magnitude when close to perihelion next year, but on October 20th it burst into life, brightening by about 5.5 magnitudes to +8.5. It's now predicted to reach magnitude +6 and the edge of naked eye visibility early next year.
Comet LINEAR was discovered on December 8, 2012 by the Lincoln Near Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) project. The operations nerve centre is located at White Sands Missile Range (WSMR) near Socorro, New Mexico. When discovered it was a feeble magnitude +19.4.
Location, magnitude and star chart
During the latter part of October and the start of November, LINEAR is located in the northern constellation of Coma Berenices. It then moves into Boötes on November 2nd, remaining there until December 6th. During this time the comet moves reasonably slowly against the background stars. For the remainder of October it should be easily visible with medium size telescopes of the order of 200mm (8-inches) or 150mm (6-inches). As it continues to brighten it then becomes a much easier small telescope and binocular target.
In the Northern Hemisphere, LINEAR is well placed for observation towards the east before sunrise. Unfortunately, from the Southern Hemisphere, it's not observable until February 2014. On November 17th, LINEAR passes only 1 degree north of Arcturus (α Boo - mag. -0.04), the fourth brightest star in the night sky.
The finder chart below shows the positions of comet LINEAR from October 17 to December 1, 2013. With one major outburst already, this is one comet definitely worth keeping an eye out for.

Comet Lovejoy (C/2013 R1) now within small telescope range
This year is turning out to be a bumper year for comets. We have already seen two naked eye comets in PanSTARRS (C/2011 L4) and Comet Lemmon (C/2012 F6), with much anticipated ISON (C/2012 S1) still to hit its best as it heads towards next month's perihelion.
To add to the mix periodic comet Encke (2P/Encke) is currently visible in the morning skies. Although not naked eye, Encke should reach binocular magnitude during November. In addition, one more recently discovered comet could also soon hit the fringe of naked eye brightness; its name comet Lovejoy (C/2013 R1).
Australian Terry Lovejoy, an information technologist and amateur astronomer discovered the comet on September 7, 2013. He imaged it at mag. +14.4 with a digital camera attached to his 200mm (8-inch) Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope.
Incredibly, this is the fourth comet discovered by Lovejoy in the space of just 6 years. One previous discovery of particular note was C/2011 W3 (Lovejoy), the first Kreutz Sungrazing comet discovered by ground-based observation for more than 40 years.
Location, magnitude and star chart
Comet Lovejoy is a well-placed early morning object during October from both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. It remains in good condition for Northern Hemisphere observers for the remainder of the year and well into 2014. However, those located in the Southern Hemisphere aren't so lucky; Lovejoy won't be observable from mid-November to early February.
The comet started October moving at a leisurely pace through Monoceros before crossing the constellation border into Canis Minor on October 17th. During this time it brightened by over a magnitude (from +10.3 to +9.0) and to within small telescope range. The comet could also be glimpsed with large 20x80 binoculars although remained beyond the reach of popular 10x50 binoculars. However that will hopefully change soon, Lovejoy is predicted to reach magnitude +5.9 by the end of November.
On October 26th, Lovejoy passes less than a degree north of first magnitude star Procyon (α CMi - mag. +0.34). It remains in Canis Minor until October 30th, before passing into Cancer. On November 7th, Lovejoy is located just south of M44 "the Praesepe" open cluster. It then moves briefly into Leo from November 11th to November 14th. On the 14th, Lovejoy should be at about magnitude +6.3 and an easy small telescope and binocular object.
The finder chart below shows the positions of Comet Lovejoy from October 14 to November 7, 2013.

Messier 40 - M40 - Winnecke 4 (Double Star)
M40 is one of three curiosities in the Messier catalog (along with M73 and M102). It's a faint double star in the constellation of Ursa Major that was discovered by Charles Messier on October 24, 1764. Messier was searching for a nebula reported in the area by Johann Hevelius. Although not seeing any nebula, Messier catalogued this double star instead. However, despite no nebulosity existing the double star remained on the list.
American astronomer Robert Burnham called M40 "one of the few real mistakes in the Messier catalogue". He faulted Messier for including it when he found no trace of a nebula and all he saw was a double star.
M40 was rediscovered in 1863 by Friedrich August Theodor Winnecke, hence is sometimes referred to as Winnecke 4 or WNC 4. It's best seen from the Northern Hemisphere during the months of February, March and April.
Locating M40 is easy; it lies about 1.5 degrees to the northeast of Megrez (δ UMa). With an apparent magnitude of +3.3, Megrez is the dimmest of the seven stars that make up the famous "Big Dipper" or "Plough" asterism of Ursa Major. Positioned 17 arcminutes southwest of M40, on an imaginary line connecting M40 with Megrez, is star 70 UMa (mag. +5.5).

Comet ISON (C/2012 S1) brightens as it nears Mars fly-by
Comet ISON, the predicted super comet of 2013, has now brightened to 10th magnitude and within the range of medium aperture telescopes. When discovered at the end of last year, the hype surrounding this possible "comet of the century" went into overdrive. It was predicted to reach an incredible magnitude -16, visible in daylight and be brighter than the full Moon, when close to perihelion in late November 2013.
At perihelion ISON will be only 0.01249 AU (1.87 million kilometres or 1.16 million miles) from the Sun. At such a small distance, there's a real possibility it might not even survive the hostile environment, disintegrating before reaching the other side.
What was also over looked in the popular press last year was that peak brightness occurs for just a few hours during daytime. And of course an object at magnitude -16, right next to our star, appears nowhere near as bright as might be expected. But anyway, it's still an exciting prospect and a potentially great spectacle over the next couple of months.
Recent estimates now suggest that the ISON will peak at about magnitude -7 or -8. On October 11th, the comet stood at magnitude +10.6 with an elongated coma, visible in 250mm (10-inch) or 200mm (8-inch) telescopes in the morning skies just before sunrise. Visually detecting a tail was more difficult. However, the comet and tail could be imaged with much smaller scopes.
ISON is expected to reach naked eye brightness about the middle of November and remain so until the end of December. During this time the best location to be is the Northern Hemisphere. It will be observable in the early morning sky towards the east throughout the brightening period. From the Southern Hemisphere, the condition is not so great with the comet remaining low down during this time.
The finder chart below shows the path of ISON from October 9th to October 29th as it moves through Leo. Also in Leo during this time in Mars and ISON will move eastwards towards Mars before overtaking it. On October 15th, ISON (mag. +10.2) will be about a degree north of Mars (mag. +1.5) and two degrees north of Regulus (α Leo - mag. +1.4). The latter two are about the same brightness and easily visible to the naked eye but the comet is much fainter (3000x) and probably requires at least a 100mm (4-inch) telescope to be seen; preferably a larger scope. Mars and Regulus do act as good pointers to locate ISON.

Orionids meteor shower peaks on October 21, 2013
The annual Orionids meteor shower peaks this year on October 21st but unfortunately a 93% lit waning gibbous Moon will significantly interfere and reduce the number of meteors visible. Generally regarded as a strong shower, the Orionids or Orionid meteor shower is active between October 2nd and November 7th although most activity is on the peak date or a few days before or after it. In the past, rates of up to 70 per hour have been observed but normally the shower is not so active; a figure between 20 and 25 is more the norm at the moment.
Parent Comet
The Orionids parent comet is the most famous of all, Halley's Comet (1P/Halley). There are two annual meteor showers associated with Halley's Comet, the Eta Aquariids shower that occurs in May and the then the Orionids. Of the two the Orionids is by far the more prolific.
Although Halley is now in the outer solar system and will not return close to Earth until 2061, it's worth remembering that Orionid meteors result from particles leftover from the comet. Every observed Orionid is actually a small part of the famous comet streaking through and subsequently burning up in the Earth's atmosphere.
The radiant of the Orionids is located in the north-eastern part of the constellation Orion, not far from the Gemini border. Since Orion straddles the celestial equator, the Orionids are one of the few annual showers that are well placed for observation from almost anywhere on Earth, except the polar regions.
Messier 78 - M78 - Reflection Nebula
M78 is an often forgotten nebula in the constellation of Orion. It's a reflection nebula that's part of the Orion Molecular Cloud Complex, a large cloud of gas and dust centered on the famous Orion Nebula (M42) and De Mairan's Nebula (M43). Also included in this grouping are NGC 2064, NGC 2067 and NGC 2071 and other nebulae. Reflection nebulae like M78 are clouds of interstellar dust that shine due to reflected and scattered light from nearby stars.
M78 was discovered by Pierre Méchain in early 1780 with Charles Messier adding it to his catalogue on December 17, 1780. Although only of 8th magnitude, finding M78 is easy since it's positioned just a few degrees northeast of Orion's famous belt. The three bright stars that make up the belt are Alnitak (ζ Ori - mag. +1.72), Alnilam (ε Ori - mag. +1.69) and Mintaka (δ Ori - mag. +2.25). Positioned 2.5 degrees northeast of Alnitak is M78.

Adobe rolls out Flash Player 11 Beta, boasts native support for 64-bit browsers
By TeamVR on July 15, 2011 12:42 pm@vrzone
Have you been moaning and groaning about the dismal state of support Adobe's Flash Player plugin has for 64-bit browsers? Well, if your answer to that question is a yes, today will definitely be a very good day for you and your favourite web browser, for Adobe has announced the availability of the first beta of its Flash Player 11 plugin, which now boasts…yes, native support for 64-bit browsers. And no, we are not making this up at all.
64-bit computing may have reached mainstream status today, but it does not change the fact that Adobe is notorious among users for its insistence of supplying only the 32-bit version of its Flash Player plugin. Needless to say, the world's heavy reliance on Flash for the delivery of rich digital content such as online games and videos means that users of pure 64-bit operating systems are often prevented from enjoying such content, due to the lack of a proper 64-bit version of the plugin for such users.
However, just as we have always said that good things come to those who wait, users of pure 64-bit operating systems will undoubtedly be pleased with the latest news from Adobe, as the company has just released a beta of their updated Flash 11 plugin on Adobe Labs. And the biggest draw of this preview release? Why, the inclusion of a native 64-bit plugin which is reportedly compatible with most 64-bit web browsers currently in use today.
We tested the x64 build of the Flash Player 11 Beta on a 64-bit build of the Firefox web browser, where it worked perfectly fine. At the very least, YouTube videos were completely playable, and the browser was able to recognize the plugin without any additional fiddling around.
More importantly, we were quite glad to find out that Adobe has fixed a certain flaw in the 64-bit version of the Flash Player 11 plugin which prevented Ookla's speed test from loading on the older, experimental versions of the plugin.
The Flash Player 11 Beta plugin can be downloaded off the Adobe Labs site in both 32-bit and 64-bit flavors.

NYC Rent Control Law Expires After Lawmakers Engage In Worst Of Political Games
By CBS News Staff / CBS News
Late Wednesday night, the state Senate failed to extend the New York City rent control law until Friday, leaving more than 1 million tenants temporarily no longer protected by the 1946 law.The surprising defeat also threatens a linked bill that would cap local property tax growth statewide.Although a deal had been struck between the Assembly and Senate to extend the bill to Friday, Senate Democrats and Republicans got into what Democratic Sen. Diane Savino called the worst of political games minutes before the bill expired at midnight.The inaction, however, likely means no immediate threat to renters.Governor Andrew Cuomo and Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver seek to strengthen protections for tenants enjoying lower rent intended to help keep the middle class in the city.Earlier Wednesday, tenants [including members of Make the Road New York] in the city were expressing concern that rent regulations could expire, and said they worried about tenant protections, reports CBS 2s John Slattery.This would put seniors, low-income families at-risk for eviction, tenant Linda Sarsour, of Bay Ridge, said.Tenants were targeting the office of State Sen. Marty Golden, a Republican who they said has shown no interest in bolstering rent regulations.Approximately 2.5 million New Yorkers live in rent-stabilized apartments, and they said they want stronger protections specifically, getting rid of vacancy decontrol.Once a tenant reaches $2,000 in rent and leaves his apartment, the apartment is out of regulation, tenant Tom Murata said.That would be for tenants whose combined income exceeds $175,000. As a result, expiring leases would go to market rate.The Rent Stabilization Association had earlier issued a statement from landlord Peter Petrov, a small building owner in the Bronx: Vacancy and luxury decontrol is not an issue in my building or in other poor and middle class neighborhoods in the Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens. More restrictions would limit the ability of small building owners like me to pay our real estate taxes and water bills and make repairs. That hurts the city and our tenants, Petrov said.We have taken hundreds of thousands of affordable units off the rolls and made them luxury housing, Assembly Speaker Silver said.Silver wants more than an extension of existing regulations, so tenants can be protected. He said that the Big Apple is increasingly becoming a city of the rich and the poor.

Since the November NYC elections, MRNY members have been hard at work setting the agenda for our next mayor, City Council and citywide elected officials.
We kicked off "Talking Transition" with a low-wage worker forum and our attorneys have been staffing a Single Stop clinic around the clock at the Transition tent.
Recently, our youth joined the Transitions conversation to bring education and police reform issues into the spotlight for the new elected officials. 17-year-old youth leader Cheyanne Smith was also profiled in the New York Times for her leadership to make NYC schools more respectful, safe, and dignified places for learning.

DIY For BMW Cup Holder & Console LED Lights (Pictures)
BMW Cup Holder and Console LED Lights DIY (with lots of pictures)
I did this in my 1995 318i E36 using the 1996-1999 style E36 Modular Cup holder/Storage Tray/Coin Box Console. However, the ease of the DIY makes it applicable to any other BMW from any years, as well as other brand vehicles that come with similar style cup holders and consoles. It is a monster write up for what is basically a quick, simple and cheap DIY with a highly OEM cosmetic and functional appeal.
If you ever did an extended road trip where you have long stretches of highway to cover after dark and your only passenger is a cup of coffee and you often had to fidget to place the coffee in the miniature E36 cup holders and often end up spilling some of it, then this easy and cheap DIY is for you. Even if you want an easier time finding stuff like keys, money, credit cards, etc... in your Storage Tray or Cup Holders at night whiles driving then this DIY can also work for you.
Ive been meaning to do this for sometime now, but needed to find the time and the best method of installing cup holder lights in the console area. Originally the idea came to me a few years ago when I first discovered my car had wiring beneath the console for a Telephone, Aux Audio Input and a small filament bulb that I assumed was there to light up the console area.
Naturally, after 10+ years in the car the bulb was blown so I went to the dealership to replace it hoping that I could have use the light for my cup holder. BMW wanted $12.50 plus tax for what is nothing more than a single Christmas Tree light bulb (that you can normally buy for 99 Cents for a box of 100). I said no to them and started thinking of another way of doing it. I went online...
Over the years I found a few DIY sites showing different methods, the best was this one;
BMW E46 Illuminated Cupholder DIY
Here this guy installs two 20mm disc LEDs into each holder in his 2004 325xiT wagon. This method is very OEM and clean looking and was my first choice. Sadly, the 20mm LEDs he used proved near impossible to buy since the USA company that imports them from China no longer exist. So short of taking an airplane to Shanghai that DIY was not going to work for me. Also the guy used a Dremel Set and spent time soldering the complicated micro LED circuitry to finish off his project.
There are a few more Cup Holder LED Light DIYs at the Honda Civic and Dodge Charger Web Forums that show folks hot gluing smaller 3mm - 5mm LED bulbs (from 2 bulbs up to 10 bulbs) into tiny holes drilled into the console cup holders. And Electric-taping the wiring together under the 12V outlet. Although their techniques were sloppy, the idea of simple wiring with smaller holes and LEDs was cheaper, quicker and more flexible for me. Also messing up didnt mean having two big 20mm holes to worry about in your console.
So I went on eBay and purchased a set of twenty 3mm Orange/Amber LED complete with wiring from a Hong Kong company called Sure Electronics. They ship within 2 weeks, but their LEDs were quality and the entire set worked. (you will hear from some people that LEDs come not working) The LEDs cost $9.99 total with shipping. I also purchased 2 spools of 20 Gauge wiring in RED and BLACK colors from Radio Shack for $6, as well as Heat Shrink for $3 and wire connectors for $1.99. I already own a power drill and Crazy Glue was the only other expense.
My 1995 BMW 318i came with the older style E36 Cup Holder which sucks because not only are the cup holders extra small and useless but everything is stationary so you cannot move the coin holder and cup holders around like you can on the newer 1996-1999 style E36 Modular Cup Holder. I wanted bigger holders and a storage partition instead of an ashtray so I went back on eBay and won a brand new E36 Modular Cup Holder with Storage Partition for $50-shipped. I then managed to sell my old one on eBay for about $50. So I broke even.
Here is a
picture of my 1995 early E36 style Console
That said this project only cost me about $20 to $25 for the LEDs and wiring and crazy glue.
Power Drill w/ 2mm or 3mm drill bits
Small philips star point screw driver
Crazy Glue
Wiring Stripper/Crimper or Scissors
Spool of RED 20 Gauge wiring
Spool of BLACK 20 Gauge wiring
Heat Shrink
Wire Connector Clips (2 sets)
Your Cars Battery or a 12V Battery (for testing the bulbs and connections)
Small Needle Nose Pliers
Scotch Tape or Electrical Tape (for temporarily holding the bulbs in place whiles the glue dry)
The Modular Console Base w/ Cup Holder Modules and Coin Box
($99 at the dealership or $40+ on eBay-if you buy a used one off eBay just make sure the cup holder modules' 4 spring grip finger slats for holding cups are all still in place since usually they are sold with one or two broken off. If you get a broken one you can easily replace it by buying new cup holder modules which cost about $15 each at the dealership)
The Storage Partition Tray w/ Parts Number in the picture
Set of 20 3mm LEDs ordered for $9.99 w/ free shipping from Sure Electronics in Hong Kong via eBay (they also sell under the eBay Seller's ID: eylane). The important thing is to make sure the LED bulbs are pre-wired with power (RED) and ground (BLACK) pigtails. Also stay away from Aftermarket Brands and Auto websites selling these exact same bulbs minus the wiring and nothing else in expensive "LED Kits" that cost $25 to $40 for 5 bulbs.
Begin by removing the two Modular Cup Holders and Storage Partition tray and The Coin Box as well. If your Modular Console came with the Ashtray then you can buy the Storage Tray on eBay (I got mine there for $14.00) or the Dealership for $18.
Find the 4 finger slats that spring-grip the cups and look at the space right below each one. Here is where you will drill your 2mm or 3mm holes. I put holes under each slat (four slats, four holes, four bulbs) to balance it out, but you can only drill less holes if you want to use less bulbs. During the project I realized that 4 bulbs may come out brighter than I wanted or stick out and be obvious, but because the 3mm bulbs are tiny and the way they are placed under the spring-grip finger slats they bulbs dont stick out and the light emitted from each bulb doesnt shine above the console-meaning it wasnt bright or harsh at all, but just right.
After drilling the 2mm holes, you can used the screw driver to widen the holes just a little bit to squeeze the 3mm LED bulb thru. Too small is okay but you dont want the hole too big. So be careful if you use a 3mm drill to not to let the hole be bigger than you want. Also the bulbs shape is similar to that of a Bowlers Hat, where the top is round and then the base of the bulb is wider with a slight brim or ledge. This is good because you can squeeze the 3mm bulb into a smaller 2mm to 2.5mm hole and not have the bulb fall thru into the cup holder.
After you do the Cup Holders you can start with the Storage Tray Partition. I only drilled one hole and used one bulb, but you can use more if you need to. Center the hole and begin drilling.

Official EPL thread
I'd figure I'd put up an official Premier league thread as there is a lot to talk about. How bout my first place Gunners? I need to buy an Ozil jersey. Spurs looks pretty good and Chelsea decent but they have striker issues. Everton looks a lot better than I thought. Man U is off to their worst start in 24 years and Man City while talented has not been consistent.
Hopefully Arsenal can finally win a trophy this year. |

Re: Official EPL thread
That Spurs game was very enjoyable. Arsenal got a hard fought draw at West Brom which isn't too bad as they are playing well. At least for now I can say we are in first which hasn't been the case the last few years.

Wrestling with Angels
Can't Get No Satisfaction
I've never met a potato chip I didn't like. Actually, I've never met a potato chip that didn't call my name from behind the pantry door until I was forced to eat it and every one of its salty companions. So when I heard the phrase "carbohydrate addiction," I knew nutritionists were on to something. It turns out there are foods that can actually increase your hunger when you consume them, creating an escalating, recurring need for the very substances that intensify the problem.
The reality of carb addiction is accepted more widely in popular culture than in scientific communities. But most people can verify anecdotally that some food only makes them hungrier.
It seems to me that this phenomenon symbolizes much of what plagues the human condition. We drink liquids that dehydrate us. We buy objects that require us to buy more objects. We make some money, ratchet up our lifestyle in response, and find we need more income to sustain us. The harder we work, the more work there is to do. And the harder we play, the more elusive the fun. Ask anyone working in Hollywood special effects, or in extreme sports, or in the sex trade industry, and all will tell you the same thing: Yesterday's thrill is today's old news. We always need more.
One of the hallmarks of addiction is "tolerance"—the experience of requiring an ever-increasing amount of a particular substance or behavior in order for it to satiate us. We recognize that dynamic indisputably in chemical dependencies. But it's harder to spot for those of us who are compulsive about work, food, approval, ministry, possessions, intimacy, social media, security, or any other number of more culturally acceptable addictions.
Gerald May was a psychiatrist whose work with chemically addicted people convinced him of two things: Addiction is, at root, a spiritual issue; and every human is addicted to some variety of substances, behaviors, and thought patterns. In his classic Addiction and Grace, May argues that each of us has a profound desire for God. When that desire is inevitably frustrated or misdirected in a fallen world, we experience pain. We deal with that pain in two ways. We repress the longing, or we attach it to something else.
According to May, attachment "bonds and enslaves the energy of desire" to certain people, things, or behaviors until we are obsessed by unworthy masters who can never truly satisfy. Tragically, our attachment to anything other than God (even to things that are not themselves bad) uses up our desire for God. It truly "wastes" us.
May calls addiction "the spiritual disease of our time," but it's not an exclusively modern phenomenon. There's a passage in Haggai that seems so shockingly current that it's hard to believe it was written over 2,500 years ago. The Israelites had returned from their Babylonian exile to find the temple in ruins. They intended to rebuild it, but had their own places to fix and fields to replant; they were too busy.
"Is it a time," God asked through the prophet, "for you yourselves to be living in your paneled houses, while this house remains a ruin? … Give careful thought to your ways. You have planted much, but have harvested little. You eat, but never have enough. You drink, but never have your fill. You put on clothes, but are not warm. You earn wages, only to put them in a purse with holes in it" (Hag. 1:4-6).
Work that is unproductive, food and drink that don't fill or quench, money that doesn't last. The Israelites, to quote a much later poet, can't get no satisfaction. God tells them that life is a treadmill of diminishing returns because they have neglected the temple, and the only way to enjoy the sort of productive, satisfying existence he intends for them is to spend time in that holy place once more.

The never satiating the human spirit with anything other than God is a no brain statement. I wonder if he means that all the goods out of right enjoyment become sources of slavery. It seems that the subject is about vices vs virtuous living and/or the Christian ethics and graced living. The consumerist society is an economic framework that can stunt our spiritual nature.
Harry S. Jorandros
How very, very true. Well described too. Hope many people not only get to read it but fully understand that consumerism only brings unhappiness in the short term.
Howard Pepper
Some good observations here. Yes, the most basic longings and needs are spiritual. Thus they relate to "God" and a pursuit of "God." (I use quotes because concepts of who and what God are are so widely varied, even within the Bible--yes, within--as well as among Christians and nonchristian believers in God.) In fact, though a devout, studied Christian most of my adult life, I now consider it a serious, unsupportable presumption of the author (apparently) that God is most specifically known via a Jesus who is almost impossible to get a reliable picture of via the New Testament.... And Paul cares WAY more about Jesus' cosmic status and role (in a Jewish/pagan blend of his invention) than he does what the earthly Jesus said or did. Read the Gospels, Acts, and Paul again without any theological lenses on, or any presumptions of unity, if you find this a ridiculous concept, as I know most Evangelicals do... my former self included.
