Hardcore [VHS] Hardcore [VHS]
List Price: $14.95

Although it never achieved the classic status of Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver or the greater critical acclaim of his own Blue Collar, Hardcore remains a vital film from the early career of writer-director Paul Schrader. It's a solid companion piece to Taxi Driver (and uses much of the same crew, including cinematographer Michael Chapman), with a similar descent-into-hell storyline. Schrader's strict Calvinist upbringing in Grand Rapids, Michigan, provides the semi-autobiographical launching point for a journey into the dark heart of pornography and prostitution, beginning when a stern, morally upright Calvinist father (George C. Scott) learns that his teenage daughter has vanished during a church-sponsored visit to California. She's a runaway on a rapidly downward spiral, and Scott recruits a sleazy private detective (Peter Boyle) and a sympathetic porno-actress (Season Hubley) to try and find her. Although Schrader's much-criticized ending doesn't ring entirely true, there's much to admire here, from Scott's memorably anguished performance to the vivid authenticity of the film's seedy, threatening locations and the conflicting moral issues raised in an atmosphere of hopeless depravity. As its title suggests, Hardcore is a potent, uncompromising film, definitely not for prudes or underage viewers. --Jeff Shannon

If you want to learn how to stop overspending, you're a step ahead just realizing you have a problem. Recognize these causes? Try these solutions.

5 Reasons For Overspending

1. Feeling insecure. That big empty hole inside needs healed properly, because there's no way you'll ever fill it. It's hungry as a black hole in space!

2. Feel relief. You may feel a moment's relief when you buy something, but the money is gone for good.

3. Entertainment. Nothing good on TV, at loose ends? Window shopping can be deadly to your budget.

4. Impress others. Those darn Joneses, co-workers and the cool crowd can cost you plenty!

5. Emotional need. Collectors must own every single whatsit variation. Fans must prove they're the biggest fan ever. Budget be damned!

Ways To Stop Overspending

1. Admit you have a problem. If you can understand what causes your overspending, great. If you can't acknowledge any problem exists in your life, your budget will suffer for quite some time.

2. Track income, outgo. When you see where you are money-wise, it helps you realize what damage overspending can cause.

3. Create frugal pastimes. Create a new income stream, take up cooking, sewing, gardening, take a class, get fit. Avoid boredom which leads to default spending.

4. Proxy buyer. Give a smart shopper your detailed list so she can pick your items up when she goes shopping. It keeps you out of the store.

5. Turn dollars into hours. Is a new polka dot blouse worth 4 hours of work?

6. Wait 3 days. It's Tuesday night and you want it. Will you still want it Friday night? Find out!

7. On sale = need? If you need it and it's on sale, buy. If you don't need it and it's on sale, go home!

8. Price book. Write down what this, that and the other store want for the same item. It can be eye-opening.

9. Shopping lists. Stick to your list of low-cost items you discovered at each store.

10. Declutter. Go through stuff in your house 15 minutes at a time. Get rid of items you don't like, never used, are a bad fit, are a wrong color or that remind you of a bad time. I don't care how much you paid for it. Keep only what makes you smile.

11. Gratitude. Feel grateful for what you have that makes you smile.

12. Freeze credit cards. A card in a block of ice in your freezer can't make a quick emotional store assault. Nuff said.

13. Good vs. cheap. One good bag outlasts 12 cheap ones. Careful now. Don't buy 3 good bags, then keep all 15!

14. Professional help. A pro can get you past this when you can't manage alone. Check online.

These tips may help you learn how to stop overspending. Or they'll show you where you need some counseling.

Oil Finishing for Butcher Block Tops; Why, When and How

Either in the traditional maple or beech wood or an increasingly wider range of exotic hardwoods, the butcher-block countertops have lately become broadly available. While traditionally the butcher blocks were meant to be used for chopping, cutting and slicing meats, nowadays we find that this strictly functional role is slowly left behind and the butcher-block tops are mainly employed on the grounds of the visual effect that wood generates.

In such instances, the wood is commonly finished with polyurethane-based or water-based varnish, acrylic lacquer, stain, or any other sort of build-up finish, which both seals the wood and creates the desired looks. For those few left cases of butcher-block tops that are actively used for food preparation, however, the range of finish choices is substantially narrowed down to the oil finishes, which raises a bit of a problem.

The problem is, the oil finishes are not finishing actually, but more of a continuous treatment to the wood. As soon as the oil is applied onto the wood surface, it will reach, due to capillarity, to the wood core, which will eventually leave the surfaces dry and hence, a new coat of oil will be required. Routine maintenance becomes, therefore, part of the deal since, if the treatment is not carried out periodically, the wood will start exchanging moisture with the environment and, consequently, the wood may swell or warp in an excessively moist climate, or, conversely, crack if the atmosphere is rather dry.

Regular application of oil thus being the only way to secure a long, functional life for your butcher block, it is usually carried out monthly during the first year and once every 4-5 months ever after. Particular circumstances, however, will further adjust the frequency. Wood species with a higher porosity such as beech or oak will require a more frequent treatment than maple, black locust or other similarly tight-grain wood. The pace of wear and tear is another factor to influence how often the re-oiling is to be performed. As the butcher block is sanded down at times in order to remove cut marks and scratches, a new coat of oil must follow each sanding. The blocks extensively used on a daily basis are usually sanded down every couple of weeks or so and hence, the re-oiling would follow the same frequency pattern, too.

When choosing the oil finishing, it is important to select a food-grade inert oil, like walnut oil, tung oil or food-grade mineral oil. Vegetal oils, although safe in contact with foods will eventually go rancid and impart undesired odor and taste. Others, such as the Danish oil, although stable are not suitable for food contact. For increased water-repelling and stain protection properties, mineral oil can be heated, mixed thoroughly with beeswax and immediately applied, the resulting mixture being something in-between a penetrating and a build-up finish.

The oil is applied extremely easy, by pouring it onto the wood surface and then smearing it with a paintbrush, rag or sponge. Never worry about applying too much oil, especially during first time session. When the oil is indeed too much, it will stagnate onto the wood surface for many days and would have to be wiped off with a clean, dry rag or paper towel, but it will take time for the wood to achieve this level of oil saturation. Most often, the oil will go into the wood fiber within a 2 to 24 hours interval. The speed at which the wood will suck the oil in will vary with the type of oil used, the wood species and the grit the wood was sanded at. Woods with a naturally oily fiber, like walnut or black locust, will absorb the finish at a slower pace and so will do the wood polished down to a very smooth surface. Walnut oil generally gets absorbed slower than the mineral oil but faster than the tung oil, which also tends to dry the wood and sometimes raise the fiber.

Three to four coats of oil are required before installation on both topside and bottom one, particularly insisting on the end-grain area, where the wood pores are open wider and the oil is absorbed about twice faster. Following the installation, the re-coating is done on the topside only.
