Excellent Resource for working through an estate
I found the book in the library and when I found I'd bookmarked 40 or so pages, I decided to buy myself a copy (used, for half price). Good advice for working through an estate, which is what I'm dealing with--what to sell to collectors and what should go through a yard sale. Collectors have been very nice to work with, if they won't buy my item they will recommend somewhere else. My first item to sell was a musical instrument; the collector gave me $50 more than the highest bid at a local music store. The book has been very reassuring to both my mother and me to know what's junk and what is worth 10 or 20 times more than we'd expect from a yard sale, or at least double what we've seen on ebay. For the most part, not for newer collectibles (past 1970s), but book has an extensive section listing collectors of fast food, pop culture, and similar items which may only be 10 or 15 years old. Look for an older edition at the library to check the format; I've found this to be an...

Clean out your attic, and clean up!
My wife has been bugging me for a long time to get rid of a lot of old things in our basement and attic, and, being a lazy guy, I've been putting it off by telling her I'm waiting to sell some of it for cash. She saw an ad for this book in the local newspaper, and told me to buy it, thus calling my bluff. Actually, I'm happy that I did, for the book is a cornucopia of information about potential buyers for a myriad of things you may find around your house. There's an excellent 20 page introduction, and an extensive index for the various items that may be of interest to dealers, and individuals. I'm putting off the day of reckoning by telling my wife I must study this book intently, but already I've found one thing that I considered junk, which may be valuable to someone: my 1964 presidential compaign can that once contained 12 ounces of "Gold Water; the right drink for the conservative taste". If your house contains a lot of old stuff you've collected because, for...

Quiet, strong and cheap, best warranty. Get it.
I bought this to replace 20 year old ISE disposer which lost both of its blades and was pretty much useless.Installation was almost plug-and-play except for the sink flange piece. I had to remove old one (couple of minutes), clean some old plumber's putty and make sure contact surface is clean before I put the new one on. Since I have stainless steel sink, the supplied rubber gasket was just fine to use alone. The outlet orientation and dishwasher inlet were in exact same spot as the previous disposer so I didn't have to mock around with that - perfect compatibility.Last was electrical hook up. The disposer comes with around 2-3 feet of cable with standard 3 prong plug on one end... I had to cut it off and make electrical connection to old cable. Manual covers that and tells exactly which prong should be hooked up to which color of wire on the other cable. Similarly to plumber's putty, there were no wire caps included with the disposer.At this point...

Impressive product and customer support
Like several of the other reviewers, I purchased this to replace a Badger 5. I found the Waste King product impressive on a number of areas. The warranty is five years and it includes in-home service, which is a rarity nowadays. Some of the larger Waste King models (1 Hp) have a lifetime in-home warranty. I looked at them, but decided to go with the ½ HP version since I only use the disposal for plate scrapings (bones go in the trash and vegetable peelings go into the compost pile) and didn't want to buy way more disposal than I needed.Waste King offers two mounting options - the traditional three bolt method, and the EZ method. This model is the EZ method and, true to its name, is really easy! Very clear instructions come with the unit, plus there are videos on the Waste King site to walk you through the process. If you have even the most basic of tool skills and can follow instructions, this is a job you can handle.The other feature I liked about the EZ...

Experience a More Powerful Grind
Featuring an energy-efficient, high-speed, 2,600 RPM 'Vortex' permanent magnet motor, the Legend 2600 offers more power per pound than comparative disposers.

This 0.5-horsepower motor will grind tough foods, and it requires 115 volts, 60 Hertz, and 4.5 current-amps to operate.

Jam-Free, Mess-Free Feeds
The Legend 2600 is a continuous-feed disposer, which means you can add waste while the unit runs. Stainless steel swivel impellers reduce jamming, and an easily removable splash guard keeps things tidy. A front-mounted reset button allows for simple operation.

Grinding Components Minimize Noise and Wear
Because the Legend 2600's grinding chamber is made of glass-filled nylon, you will never have to worry about corrosion. Also, the stainless steel grinding components are insulated, so you'll get the quietest grind possible.

works great so far and was pretty easy to install
Like the other reviewer I replaced an older one with this. The trick is that older garbage disposals tend to have something called a three-point attachment just under the sink, while newer ones like this have a new design that rotates on. Now if you want to replace the current part that's in the sink this doesn't matter. But then you need the plumber's putty like the other reviewer said (unless it's a stainless steel sink, whose smooth surface apparently doesn't leak).On the other hand you can do what I did and buy an adapter. This mounted under the sink, allowing me to keep the part you see in the sink when you look down, and thereby obviating the need for applying plumber's putty. It cost about $15 at Orchard Supply, but I'm sure you can get one from Amazon. It bolted to the sink part easily, and the Waste King rotated onto the adapter equally easily.The only problem was that the adapter lowered the garbage disposal itself half an inch or so. I wound up going...

Culture or Trash?: A Provocative View of Contemporary Painting, Sculpture, and Other Costly Commodities

Regular Price: $19.95 |

Customer Review

Let the painful truth about contemporary art be told.
James Gardner's "Culture or Trash?" is a well-written, intelligent, and well-placed criticism of the twisted, ill-conceived, and philosophically indefensible practices of the Western "art world." Just as relevant today as when it was published six years ago, any dyed-in-the-wool bohemian who can muster the guts to read this one all the way through will doubtlessly suffer much cognitive dissonance, as page by page, cherished art world illusions are stripped bare. Gardner's reading of the human motives hiding behind the ridiculous pretensions of "Postmodernism" are deadly accurate, and his book should be required reading in the art schools of America. There are, however, a few small problems with this book; first, Gardner's praise for artists Agnes Martin and Pat Steir, I think, is misplaced, and second, Gardner gives us a lengthy and accurate description of today's art world, but unfortunately, only whispers about how it got that way.

ART (?)
In 1993, when CULTURE OR TRASH was published, James Gardner was the art critic for "The National Review." Early in the book, he describes a three week art extravaganza which was being held in a very upscale (read expensive) San Francisco Art Gallery. When each guest arrived, he or she was met by a uniformed waiter and offered a cup of coffee to drink while browsing in the gallery. The coffee was served in a simple white cup and cream was poured from a similarly simple white cream pitcher. What most of the guests didn't know, and never were to know, was that they were a part of the art, a performance piece entitled "Garcon." That was it, three weeks of the "artist" pouring about three hundred cups of coffee. Because the cream pitcher had been used in an "artistic performance," and because it had been touched by a "famous" avante-garde artist, it became a "relic." It was labeled, encased in glass, and was last seen on...

Trash or Treasure?: Censorship and the Changing Meanings of the Video Nasties (Inside Popular Film)

Regular Price: $79.00 |

Product Description

Trash or Treasure is a wide-ranging historical study of the British circulation of the video nasties--a term that was originally coined in order to ban a group of horror videos in Britain in the 1980s. Through an exploration of the range of historical materials, the book examines how this unusual genre category was formulated in a particular context and then used (for different reasons) by moral campaigners, distributors, critics, and fans. By examining the discourses that inform the circulation of a group of banned films, the book argues that censorship is not just about rules and regulations, but also about the discourses that generate censorship and the cultural and commercial consequences of a censorship act or law.

This blog is written for the moms (and non-moms) out there that want to learn how to seriously stretch a dollar. Welcome to My Frugal Adventures.

Well, she started by finding items at garage sales, on the side of the road and even in the trash and turned around and sold them on classified sites for a profit. So next time your son or daughter complains they don’t have any money or can’t seem to save enough, I’d simply show them this video of Willow and hopefully they can see that it actually IS possible to make money at a young age if you have the... I always thought of myself as a pretty money savvy teen who put her money to good use, creating goals and putting each pay cheque in the bank rather than just spending it on frivolous things like friendship bracelets and Pop Rocks candy…. Parents, can you even imagine your teenage kids coming up to you one day and asking, “Hey mom, I really, really want to buy this house so do you mind going in halfers with me on it. I promise to keep my room clean for a whole month. ) I remember the feeling of saving MY money, the money I worked so hard for and walking into that A & B Sound feeling like such an adult that I could purchase such a big ticket item without any help from my parents.

Coupon Tip of the Week : Here’s a simple suggestion to help you save money and avoid buying something just because it seems like a good deal.

While people may change the bins they throw their trash in, it won’t change the fact that they bought the trash in the first place, Sagebiel said. The university throws away more than 34,000 pounds of trash every day, Sagebiel said — the equivalent of 10 mid-sized sedans. If a piece of trash is thrown away on campus, it could end up there, said Jason Geddes, Reno’s environmental services manager. However, if a piece of trash is recycled, it could still end up there. I mean, by the time it’s been recycled it’s been so heavily processed that it’s not like there’s still germs on it. ”. On the supply side, however, it’s easier to get people to notice things like blue cans all over campus than it is to get them to... John Sagebiel, an avid environmentalist who drives an electric car and buys his food local, has a problem with the amount of attention given to recycling. “Not everybody thinks that it’s a great idea to have a shirt that’s partially made out of recycled shirts,” Sagebiel said. “Recycling is bullshit, in my opinion,” said Sagebiel, environmental affairs manager for the University of Nevada, Reno. So making it easier for people to reduce their energy and material consumption is key, according to Tara Pike, a faculty member involved with the recycling program at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Some people don’t trust products made of recycled materials, he said.
