TIDBITS® UNCOVERSLAST GOOD-BUY
by Blue Sullivan
There is something singularly satisfying about finding a really good price on some-thing. Pawn stores and antique shops pres-ent opportunities to experience this joy. It’s surely why so many of us are drawn to them.
• The old stereotype about pawn shops was that they were dirty places run by unscru-pulous men and women looking for every chance they could find to cheat you out of a buck. Yet the massive success of reality shows such as “Pawn Stars” and “Hardcore Pawn” has done a lot to rebut that inaccurate image. • David Bakke of “Market Crashers” notes that while you, “probably look for ways to save money as often as you can… here’s one you may never have considered: shop-ping at a pawn shop. It’s actually a viable way to save money — and not just on guns.”• In his article, “7 Things You Should and Shouldn’t Buy from a Pawn Shop,” Bakke outlines the best things to buy.turn the page for more!• Bakke says that perhaps the safest buys at any pawn shop are tools. He notes that the prices are often far superior to those of new tools. This is doubly true if you’re just looking for one or two specific tools for home renova-tion or repair. “It’s simply not worth it to pay full price for seldom-used tools,” says Bakke.• According to Bakke, the other great value found at almost any pawn shop is jew-elry. He explains that it’s typical to find prices that are half what they would be for new re-tail jewelry. Bakke chalks this up to peo-ple’s distrust of the idea of “used” jewelry. • “Some people may have an issue with

LAST GOOD-BUY (continued):buying ‘used’ jewelry, but isn’t almost all jewelry ‘used’ in some way, shape, or form?” Bakke ar-gues. Since so much jewelry, even retail jewelry, is comprised of items made from melted down gold from other sources and re-set diamonds, why not buy it “used” for a much better price?• As for items that are best left on the pawn-shop shelf, Bakke is emphatic. He ad-vises to never buy electronics or home ap-pliances with a lot of moving parts. He sin-gles out vacuum cleaners, computers, digital cameras and televisions as things to avoid. • Bakke thinks televisions are possibly the riskiest pawn-shop purchase. “There is an implied risk with purchasing anything from a pawn shop since it’s all used merchandise, but this risk goes up even farther with televisions, especially flat-screen LED TVs,” says Bakke.• Bakke warns that almost no pawn shops allow money back returns. The most they of-fer is in-store credit, so buyer beware. He ad-vises, “Be sure to inquire specifically about all aspects of any return policy they may have.”• Though he mentions that he has experi-enced instances where something he bought at a pawn shop broke soon after, Bakke thinks that the positives easily outnumber the negatives. He says, “The overall money that I have saved over the years has far outweighed the replace-ment cost of the few things that did break down.”• The process of finding good value at antique shops requires a little more time and thought, but it’s just as rewarding.

________ Q: I’ve been following Brian Aus-tin Green’s career since “Beverly Hills, 90210.” I especially loved him in “Terminator: The Sarah Con-nor Chronicles,” which was on Fox a few years back, as well as his guest appearances on “Small-ville.” What does he have coming next? -- Deanna R., Jackson, Miss.
A: Aside from pending fatherhood (as of this writing, his wife, actress Megan Fox, is due to give birth to the couples’ daughter any day now), Brian also has a new show to look forward to. He stars in TBS’s “Wed-ding Band” -- along with Melora Hardin (Jan from “The Office”), Peter Cambor, Der-ek Miller and Harold Perrineau. The shows centers on the friendship of four young men in a band who, in a very “Wedding Crashers” way, play at weddings, reunions and bar mitzvahs, and use said celebrations to pick up women. “Wedding Band” pre-mieres Saturday, Nov. 10 at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
Q: When will “How the States Got Their Shapes” be back with a new season? It’s such an interest-ing show! -- Greg D., Bangor, Maine
A: “How the States Got Their Shapes” will be return to H2 for a second season with back-to-back 30-minute episodes on Sat-urday, Sept. 29, at 10 p.m ET/PT. Hosted by journalist and former “Daily Show” cor-respondent Brian Unger, the show has an added twist this season: Brian will be quizzing Americans about what unites us and what really divides the states -- and exposing some of our country’s most stubborn regional rivalries. Competitors can earn cash prizes and show their state pride by proving just how well they know their United States. This season, Brian will travel to Pittsburgh, Miami, Seattle, Chicago, St. Louis and Nashville, Tenn.

LAST GOOD-BUY (continued):com entitled “Buying antiques — how, where, when and why to buy” gives 10 sure-fire tips on how to make a wise purchase.• Most antique dealers are happy to hag-gle over their prices. The column strongly ad-vises antique shoppers to ask for a discount on any item they are interested in. It notes that dealers usually assign a private code to each item advising how much of a discount they’re prepared to give (for instance, 25 percent off the sticker). Asking for a discount prompts the salesperson to investigate this. Simply ask, “What’s your best price on this item?”
• Another potential option for getting a discount is paying cash, but don’t offer to pay in hard currency up front. After negotiating a maximum discount under the auspices of pay-ing by check or credit card, then (and only then) ask if there might any further cash discount. Not every seller will offer one, but some do.
• Another essential tip when antique shop-ping is to thoroughly examine any item of inter-est before buying. Antique-marks advises you to, “Look at the bottom, the top, the sides. Look from odd angles and use a magnifier to look close.”
• Examining each item of interest ex-tensively is vital, as is inquiring about any damage or restoration the item might’ve un-dergone. As Antique-marks notes, “If you don’t ask, they don’t need to tell you.”
• One of the best ways to find a good deal is to look for items that don’t fit the focus of the individual antique shop. If you’re in a shop that focuses on furniture, look for the odd bit of ce-ramics or jewelry. Items that don’t fit in will of-ten be discounted much higher to get rid of them.
• Check if the shop is a member of any trade associations. As Antique-marks notes, this provides “a greater degree of security and pro-tection” for your purchases. Fake antiques are not uncommon, and some are quite convincing.
\• When completing your antique purchase, make sure you a get a receipt. Make sure it lists specifics about the item, including age, damage or restoration, the material it’s made of and its value.
• Finally, if you decide to purchase antiques at auction, do your homework! Know the rules of auction bidding and familiarize yourself with items shipped from outside the country. Valuable and antique items must be declared through customs.

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: A while ago, you printed information on how to safely approach strange dogs. I’d like my two children to be familiar with those procedures. Can you provide that information? -- Candice C., Las Vegas
DEAR CANDICE: I sure can. Here are a few tips courtesy of the American Kennel Club on how to safely approach a strange dog:--Ask permission: It’s very important to ask a dog’s owner first if you can pet the dog. Not every dog reacts the same way to strangers petting them, and the owner will know if the dog is friendly and if it is safe for you to approach.--Approach calmly: If the owner says yes, make a fist, extend your hand slowly to the dog, and let it sniff the back of your hand. Dogs recognize people by scent, so letting it sniff your hand lets the dog become familiar with you.--Where to pet: Once the dog has sniffed your hand, pet it gently under the chin or on the chest.--Don’t hug dogs: Kids should never hug a dog.
Dogs don’t hug each other, and they don’t understand hugs to mean love and affection like humans do. Wrapping your arms around a dog can stress it out and lead to an unnecessary bite.--Keep your chin up: Never put your face down in front of a dog. This can be threatening to the dog and cause it to react. Find out more about safely approaching dogs and about the AKC’s upcoming “Meet the Breeds” event at http://www.akc.org/meet_the_breeds/.

• On Sept. 22, 1776, in New York City, 21-year-old Na-than Hale, a captain in the Continental Army, is exe-cuted by the British for spying. Before being hanged, legend holds that Hale said, “I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country.” There is no his-torical record to prove that Hale actually made this statement.
• On Sept. 18, 1793, George Washington lays the cor-nerstone to the United States Capitol building. The building would take nearly a century to complete, as architects came and went, the British set fire to it, and it was called into use during the Civil War.
• On Sept. 23, 1846, German astronomer Johann Gottfried Galle discovers the planet Neptune. The blue gas giant, which has a diameter four times that of Earth, has eight known moons and a ring system containing three bright and two dim rings.
• On Sept. 21, 1938, a powerful Category 3 hurricane slams into Long Island and southern New England. Charlie Pierce, a junior forecaster in the U.S. Weather Bureau, was • sure that the hurricane was heading for the Northeast, but the chief forecaster overruled him. All told, 700 people were killed by the hurricane.
• On Sept. 19, 1959, in one of the more surreal mo-ments in the history of the Cold War, Soviet leader Ni-kita Khrushchev explodes with anger when he learns he cannot visit Disneyland. Government authorities feared that the crowds would pose a safety hazard.
• On Sept. 17, 1965, four adventurous Englishmen ar-rive at a motor show in Germany after crossing the English Channel by Amphicar, the world’s only mass-produced amphibious passenger car. On land, the cars used a four-speed-plus-reverse manual trans-mission. In the water, they used a transfer case that had two speeds: forward and backward.
• On Sept. 20, 1973, in a highly publicized “Battle of the Sexes” tennis match, top women’s player Billie Jean King, 29, plays Bobby Riggs, 55, a former No. 1-ranked men’s player. Riggs, a self-proclaimed male chauvinist, had boasted that women were inferior. King beat Riggs 6-4, 6-3, 6-3.

To Your Good Health By Paul G. Donohue, M.D.
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I am an 82-year-old woman. My body cannot tolerate antibiotics, vitamins or painkillers. I am told I have macular degeneration and was advised to take Ocuvite once a day. My sister suggested I write to you to see if you have an idea of how to take Ocuvite in some other manner or some other way to get the ingredients in it. Help. -- L.M.
ANSWER: In 2001, the results of the first AREDS report (Age-Related Eye Disease Study) was published. It showed that the combination of beta carotene (a form of vitamin A), vitamin E, vitamin C, zinc and copper could slow the progression of moderate macular degeneration to severe macular degeneration. Macular degeneration is a wasting away of the macula -- a small, round area of the retina necessary for clear central vision, the kind needed to read, sew and drive. Ocuvite is one capsule that incorporates all these nutrients. Currently a new study, AREDS 2, is being conducted. The vitamin-mineral combination has been altered a bit and new ingredients have been added: lutein, zeaxanthin and omega-3 fatty acids. Some Ocuvite pills also contain these materials.Since you’re unable to tolerate vitamins, you’ll need to get these nutrients from foods. You might not be able to reach the high levels found in pills, but you’d be getting all the ingredients in those pills.Beta carotene is found in colored vegetables like carrots and peppers, in dark-green vegetables and in colored fruits. Vitamin E is widely available in many foods: meats, nuts, cereal grains, wheat-germ oil and sunflower oil. You find vitamin C in citrus fruits, tomatoes, potatoes and broccoli. Zinc is in meats, shellfish, nuts and legumes, like peas. Copper is in shellfish, nuts and organ meats.The new version of AREDS, not yet published, contains lutein and zeaxanthin, which you can obtain in kale, spinach, collard greens, corn, green beans, carrots, squash and tomatoes. Omega-3 fatty acids are found in fish like salmon and tuna.The booklet on macular degeneration explains this common malady and its treatment. To obtain a copy, write: Dr. Donohue -- No. 701, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Can. with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery.
Slowing Macular Degeneration
MARTHA’S VINEYARD (continued): • Many artists live on the is-land, creating and then selling their hand-crafted, one-of-a-kind pieces.• Vacationers or residents reach the is-land via ferry or airplane, as there are no tunnels or bridges linked to the island. There are more than 100 lodging destina-tions, ranging anywhere from cozy cottages to campgrounds to swanky luxury resorts.• Although the oceans around the is-land are freezing with large waves and dangerous undertows, the island of-fers many harbors with warmer water.• Martha’s Vineyard is referred to as “Noepe” by the American Indians, which means “Land amid the streams.”• It is believed that Martha’s Vineyard was discovered in the year 1000 by explor-ers called the Northmen, who named the is-land Vineland. When Verranazo stumbled upon the island in 1524, he named it Claudia, honoring the mother of France’s Francis II.• The first explorer to give the island its current name was Bartholomew Gosnold, who also discovered and named Cape Cod. While lost in the Atlantic, he stumbled upon a smaller island outside of Martha’s Vineyard and gave this island the name. The next day, he discovered the larger island and after exploring, switched the names and titled the smaller island No Man’s Land. Mar-tha’s Vineyard came from his mother, Martha.• The first school on Martha’s Vine-yard was established in 1651 to teach na

One of the best kitchen gadgets I’ve ever invest-ed in is a digital thermometer. Within seconds, it tells me the temperature of the food I’m cooking and whether it’s done.Temperature is one of the most important safety steps in food preparation to avoid food poison-ing. To help us stay safe, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has created a free booklet espe-cially for us: Food Safety for Older Adults. It has information we need to know and keep handy: How we get a food-borne illness, and what can happen to us if we do. How to choose lower-risk food options. How long food stays safe in the refrigerator. And much more.For example, did you know that lunch and deli meats need to be heated to 165 degrees Fahr-
Food Safety
enheit? The bacteria Listeria can grow even at proper 40-degree refrigerator temperature.My favorite part of the booklet, especially since I now have a high-tech digital thermometer, is the picture chart of the recommended internal temperatures of cooked food. Fish, 145 degrees. Beef, 160 degrees. And so on. (I also invested in two refrigerator/freezer thermometers to make sure the old refrigerator and freezer are keeping food at the correct temperature: 40 degrees for the refrigerator and 0 degrees for the freezer.)There are a number of steps involved in finding the booklet online, but it’s worth the trouble. Go to www.fsis.usda.gov, click Fact Sheets, At-Risk Populations, More Like This at the bottom of that category, then scroll down to the PDF version of Food Safety for Older Adults. If you can’t find it, send email to fsis.outreach@usda.gov to request the booklet.Or call the hotline and request it at 1-888-674-6854. vSee Back Page For Answers

• It was American singer Josh Groban who made the following sage observation: “There’s no half-singing in the shower, you’re either a rock star or an opera diva.”
• If you’re considering having a child sometime in the near future, you might want to consider this: It’s said that the cost of caring for a new-born during its first year of life is more than $6,000.
• In 1986, actor and director Clint Eastwood took on a new and unfamiliar role: political can-didate. He ran for mayor of Carmel, Calif. He de-feated the incumbent mayor in a landslide, and he kept the position for two years. His salary? A whopping $200 per week.
• Often these days you’ll see someone carrying a tiny dog around with them, but you might be surprised to learn that this is not an entirely new fashion. In ancient Rome and Greece it was not uncommon for a noble lady to carry her tiny Maltese dog around in the sleeve of her robe.
• In the early days of motion pictures, Will H. Hays became known as the “Czar of Hollywood.” He presided over the earliest incarnation of the MPAA, charged with ensuring the morality of movies. Some of the changes the so-called
“Hays Office” insisted upon were removing the image of a cow’s udder from a Walt Disney cartoon; and removing any direct reference to adultery in the 1935 adaptation of the Tolstoy novel “Anna Karenina” -- despite the fact that Anna’s affair is at the heart of the novel.
• Those who study such things say that a wom-an’s sense of smell tends to be better than that of a man.
Thought for the Day: “I think that I am better than the people who are trying to reform me.” -- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

MARTHA’S VINEYARD (continued): tive Indians who were willing to learn.• Martha’s Vineyard was con-sidered part of New York until 1692.• At one point in its history during the mid 1800s, after generations and genera-tions, Martha’s Vineyard had such a high deaf population that the residents de-veloped their own sing language, Mar-tha’s Vineyard Sign Language (MVSL).• In 1911, the Colonial Inn open-ing, thus sparking its transforma-tion into a vacationer’s paradise.• Steven Spielberg’s blockbuster hit “Jaws” was filmed on the island in 1974. • When famous actor John Belushi died in 1982, he was buried on Martha’s Vineyard in the town of Chilmark. Many residents and vacationers visit his grave to pay their respects.• Long-term island residents tend to be affluent, as the cost of living on the is-land is about 60 percent higher than that of the United States mainland, and the cost of real estate is a striking 95 percent higher. In 2010, the island’s population was 16,535.• In 2011, Martha’s Vineyard celebrat-ed its 100th year of being a supreme vaca-tion destination spot in the United States.
CLEANING OUT THE GARAGE
Having dedicated some ink to antiquing and pawn shops, Tidbits explores another of our major methods of retail “recycling” — the garage sale. Every single weekend, individual mini-entrepreneurs open their garages and yards to sell used (and occa-sionally new) items from their homes to bargain hunters from their neighborhoods and beyond. Here are some interesting bits about this popular underground economy.• Most of us think of garage (or yard) sales as a series of decentralized, uncon-nected, weekend family “stores” set up in the front yard, and for the most part, they are. However, every year, right before La-bor Day weekend, there is a garage sale that stretches from Maryland to California. • This past May celebrated the 13th annual “Great US 50 Yard Sale.” This cel-ebration was held May 18-20 this year.• The event includes a loose collection of businesses and towns along US Highway 50. Highway 50 is one of the longest highways in the United States. It stretches from Ocean City, Maryland, to Sacramento, California, over 3,073 miles! A 1997 article in Time mag-azine declared it the “backbone of America.”• Though the Great US 50 Yard Sale isn’t formally organized nationwide, its orga-nizers have coordinated steadily with coun-ties all along the route who have given their support. This support has grown steadily every year, with media outlets picking up the story. Although official numbers were too numerous and difficult to tabulate, one writer covering the story found over 75 yard sales in just one 25-mile stretch of highway.
