The Steal $12.99 A history of shoplifting, revealing the roots of our modern dilemma. Rachel Shteir’s The Steal is the first serious study of shoplifting, tracking the fascinating history of this ancient crime. Dismissed by academia and the mainstream media and largely misunderstood, shoplifting has become the territory of moralists, mischievous teenagers, tabloid television, and self-help gurus. But shoplifting incurs remarkable real-life costs for retailers and consumers. The “crime tax”-the amount every American family loses to shoplifting-related price inflation-is more than $400 a year. Shoplifting cost American retailers $11.7 billion in 2009. The theft of one $5.00 item from Whole Foods can require sales of hundreds of dollars to break even. The Steal begins when shoplifting entered the modern record as urbanization and consumerism made London into Europe’s busiest mercantile capital. Crossing the channel to nineteenth-century Paris, Shteir tracks the rise of the department store and the pathologizing of shoplifting as kleptomania. In 1960s America, shoplifting becomes a symbol of resistance when the publication of Abbie Hoffman’s Steal This Book popularizes shoplifting as an antiestablishment act. Some contemporary analysts see our current epidemic as a response to a culture of hyper-consumerism; others question whether its upticks can be tied to economic downturns at all. Few provide convincing theories about why it goes up or down. Just as experts can’t agree on why people shoplift, they can’t agree on how to stop it. Shoplifting has been punished by death, discouraged by shame tactics, and protected against by high-tech surveillance. Shoplifters have been treated by psychoanalysis, medicated with pharmaceuticals, and enforced by law to attend rehabilitation groups. While a few individuals have abandoned their sticky-fingered habits, shoplifting shows no signs of slowing. In The Steal , Shteir guides us through a remarkable tour of all things shoplifting-we visit the Woodbury Commons Outlet Mall, where boosters run rampant, watch the surveillance footage from Winona Ryder’s famed shopping trip, and learn the history of antitheft technology. A groundbreaking study, The Steal shows us that shoplifting in its many guises-crime, disease, protest-is best understood as a reflection of our society, ourselves. |

Steal Big Steal Little [VHS] $9.98 As has become rapidly apparent over the course of his career, a little bit of Andy Garcia goes a long way. Though he can rise to good material, his taste generally is poor, as this lumpy comedy proves. More to the point, without good material, Garcia is revealed for what he is: a pretty-boy actor with only minimal talent and a slightly cross-eyed smile. So the idea of Garcia playing identical twin… |
How to Identify an Ideal Jeweller for Diamond Rings
What makes an excellent diamond rings store?
A diamond rings store is not just a place to buy diamond rings ( in Wellington, New Zealand or where ever you are from ).
It can be a place to restore old diamond rings, repair damaged diamond rings, and even find a estimate on what you already own.
But there's much more to the story.
A jewellery store can be the place you go to mark very special occasions in your life.
And that's why selecting the proper one can affect, well, the remainder of your life.
If you do not need to get stuck with a wedding ring that makes your skin go green or you do not need to spoil your marriage request with a half-heartedly assembled engagement ring, selecting an excellent jewelry shop should be priority number one.
For you fellows who do not know the first thing about jewellery, remember that finding a good jeweller is like finding a good tailor : after you find a great jeweller, you wish to keep her.
The difference between a bad jeweller and a good jeweller is like the difference between bronze and gold - they'd look similar, but that's all they have in common.
Finding quality jewellers in your area - ways to "whittle down your list"
Check out online reviews
A search for close by jewellers in your neighborhood should also show a number of online reviews that you can check out.
Employ jewellery review sites and be sure to find an all around feel for which jewelry shop near you would work best.
Don't place too much stock in any one individual review, bad or good : you never can tell if someone is biased.
Ask around
If you have a friend or family member who had a great experience with a jeweller, ask for that jeweller's contact information and add them to the list.
Good word-of-mouth is how good jewellers stay in business, and if you can get personal recommendations, you can know you're headed in the right way.
Like their stuff!
And most importantly, peruse the jewellers' web site and only include them on your list if you like what you see.
