Dust Bowl: Special Edition (2CD) Dust Bowl: Special Edition (2CD)
Sale Price: $21.99

2011 release from the American Blues guitarist and singer/songwriter, winner of Billboard Magazine's #1 Blues Artist Of 2010 award. Dust Bowl combines the gritty, blues-based tones of Bonamassa's first albums with the fluid, genre-defying sounds he's mastered in the years since, plus a dose of Nashville in duets with legends John Hiatt and Vince Gill. Dust Bowl, producer Kevin Shirley explains, is very firmly rooted in the Blues, but definitely explores the outer reaches of the genre and showcases Joe's amazing virtuosity as he digs deep into his psyche in some lengthy and blistering guitar solos. This special edition of Dust Bowl contains a bonus CD entitled "Ten Years Of Joe," featuring 10 classic songs from 2000-2010. Disc 1 (Dust Bowl): 1. Slow Train 2. Dust Bowl 3. Tennessee Plates 4. The Meaning Of The Blues 5. Black Lung Heartache 6. You Better Watch Yourself 7. The Last Matador Of Bayonne 8. Heartbreaker 9. No Love On The Street 10. The Whale That Swallowed Jonah 11.

Tae-Bo Workout: Instructional [VHS] Tae-Bo Workout: Instructional [VHS]
Sale Price: $1.00

Billy Blanks's Tae-Bo Workout: Instructional is the essential first step for anyone wanting to attempt any level of Tae-Bo workout. This tape, which had been available only as part of the two-tape Basic set, is now available for individual purchase, so if you want to dive right into one of Blanks's more challenging workouts, you have the tools available to safely perform the exercises. Billed as the "future of fitness" and hawked by numerous celebrities, Billy Blanks's Tae-Bo actually deserves much of the hype it's receiving. A mixture of boxing punches and martial arts kicks, Tae-Bo is fun and easy. Tae-Bo: Instructional lays out the movements you need to successfully complete a workout. Once you've mastered the steps, you won't have to fast-forward through half the tape to get to the workout, nor will your workout be slowed down by the repeated lessons. After you feel comfortable with the movements (and they're really quite easy to follow; nothing too complicated to trip you up), you're ready to move on to Tae-Bo: Basics or Tae-Bo: Advanced. Blanks, a seven-time World Martial Arts champion, is a superb instructor, providing encouragement and careful instruction (if you don't know by the end of the tape to hold in your stomach, that's no one's fault but your own). Not only is Tae-Bo great exercise for all levels, but the punches and kicks are wonderful for working out stress and aggression. This is the aerobics exercise video for people who are bored by aerobics. --Jenny Brown

Fast & Furious 4-Movie Collection Fast & Furious 4-Movie Collection
Sale Price: $28.59

The Fast and the FuriousA guilty pleasure with excess horsepower, The Fast and the Furious efficiently combines time-honored male fantasies (hot cars, hot women, hot action) into a vacuous plot of crystalline purity. It's trash, but it's fun trash, in which a hotshot Los Angeles cop named Brian (Paul Walker) infiltrates a gang of street racers suspected of fencing stolen goods from hijacked trucks. The gang leader is Dom (Vin Diesel), ex-con and reigning king of the street racers, who lives for those 10 seconds of freedom when his high-performance "rice rocket" (a highly modified Asian import) hurtles toward another quarter-mile victory. Racing is street theater for a lawless youth subculture, and Dom is a star behind the wheel--charismatic, dangerous, and protective toward his sister Mia (Jordana Brewster), who's attracted to Brian as the newest member of Dom's car-crazy team. Director Rob Cohen treats this like Roman tragedy for MTV junkies, pushing every scene to adrenaline-pumping extremes; when his camera isn't caressing a spectrum of nitrous oxide-enhanced dream machines, it's ogling countless slim 'n' sexy race babes. The undercover-cop scenario cheaply borrows the split-loyalty theme perfected in Donnie Brasco; a rival Asian gang adds mystery and menace; and digital trickery is cleverly employed to explore the fuel-injected innards of the day-glo racecars. It's about as substantial as a perfume ad, but just as alluring, and for heavy-metal maniacs of any age, Diesel's superblown '69 Charger proves that Detroit muscle never goes out of style. --Jeff Shannon 2 Fast 2 Furious Like the high-revving imports and American muscle cars that roar down the streets of its south Florida setting, 2 Fast 2 Furious is tricked out to the max. While Vin Diesel opted for his XXX franchise, this obligatory sequel to The Fast and the Furious benefits from Diesel's absence, allowing returning star Paul Walker to shine while forging a lively partnership with rising star Tyrese, who fulfills his sidekick duties with more vitality than Diesel could ever muster. The Miami/Dade locations are another bonus, lending colorful backdrop to the most dazzling street-racing sequences (both real and digitally composited) ever committed to film. The plot is disposable--former cop Walker and jailbird Tyrese are recruited by the FBI to dethrone a thuggish kingpin (Cole Hauser)--but director John Singleton keeps the adrenalin pumping, enlisting a rainbow coalition of costars (including rapper Ludacris and Chanel supermodel Devon Aoki) to combine a hip-hop vibe with full-blown action while showcasing hot babes, edgy humor, and some of the coolest cars that ever burned rubber. Heed the movie's warning, kids: Let the stuntmen do the driving. --Jeff Shannon The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift has all the elements that spelled success for its predecessors: Speed, sex, and minimal dialogue. The plot doesn't need explication; it's a nonsensical series of confrontations and standoffs that serve to get us from one race to another. Tokyo Drift can most accurately be described as a visual poem about screeching tires, crunching fiberglass, and sleek female skin, set to a killer soundtrack of Japanese pop and hip-hop. The actors are only needed for tight close-ups of narrowed eyes or sweaty hands tightly gripping gearshifts, though Sung Kang, Better Luck Tomorrow, stands out as a vaguely philosophical hoodlum with deadpan charisma. The curved bodies of the cars and the luscious flesh of the women are both shot with a fetishistic hunger. The "drift" style of racing--in which the cars are allowed to slide in order to take sharp turns at high speeds--grabs your eyes; there's a strange, spectral beauty to rows of cars sliding sideways down a mountain road at night. Also starring Lucas Black (Friday Night Lights) as our wheel-happy hero; Bow Wow (Roll Bounce) as the scam-artist comic relief; and martial arts legend Sonny Chiba (Kill Bill) as a yakuza big shot. --Bret Fetzer Fast & Furious Fast & Furious is high octane torque-er porn that puts the franchise back on course after drifting in Tokyo. With the original cast once again in the driver's seat, we are good to go with a this-time-it's-personal plot and spectacular race and chase set-pieces that exceed the promise of the stripped-down title, beginning with an awesome highway hijacking of an oil truck led by former street racer Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel, at his glowering and gravel-voiced best). Dom is a fugitive in the Dominican Republic, but after a devastating personal loss, he is driven by revenge to return to Los Angeles to bring down an elusive drug smuggler. He is reunited with Brian O'Connor (Paul Walker), the undercover FBI agent who let him go eight years earlier. Brian, also on the case, must come to terms with Dom and make amends with Dom's sister (Jordana Brewster), whom he betrayed in his original pursuit of Dom. Fast & Furious is just the ticket for putting your mind on cruise control. From a see-what-you've-got racing challenge through the streets of L.A. to the illicit kicks of the street-racing subculture (this is extreme PG-13), there is nothing cheap about these thrills. A record-shattering opening weekend at the box office could mean faster and more furious action to come, but if this is the franchise's last time around the block, it goes out a winner. --Donald Liebenson

Ruby Slippers

The ruby slippers are the magical shoes worn by Dorothy (played by Judy Garland) in the 1939 MGM movie The Wizard of Oz. In the film, Dorothy acquires the slippers after her house falls on and kills the Wicked Witch of the East, freeing the Munchkins from the Witch's tyranny. In return for her unintentional good deed, Dorothy receives the slippers to protect her from the Witch's vengeful sister, the Wicked Witch of the West. Dorothy knows the slippers are magical, but she is unaware of their specific powers. Only at the end of the film does Glinda, the Good Witch of the North, reveal the slippers' secret: Whenever Dorothy wishes, she can return home to Kansas by simply clicking her heels three times and repeating, "There's no place like home".

china apparels
In L. Frank Baum's original novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Dorothy wore silver slippers. The movie's creators changed them to ruby to take advantage of the chromatic possibilities of the new Technicolor film process.

The ruby slippers were designed by Gilbert Adrian. It is speculated that at least seven pairs were made in Judy Garland's sizes 5 and 6; four pairs used in the movie have been accounted for today, as well as one 'Arabian test pair' that was used in costume tests but not seen in the final picture. One pair is on permanent exhibition at the National Museum of American History at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC[1]. This pair does not match (the right bow is higher than left; see picture), fueling speculation that more of the slippers may exist. The others pairs are owned by private collectors Philip Samuels and David Elkouby. A very elaborate curled-toe pair, not used in the film, is owned by actress and memorabilia preservationist Debbie Reynolds. Another unused, bugle-beaded pair was made while Richard Thorpe directed the film. The whereabouts of that pair are unknown.

The four pairs of shoes used in the film were originally white silk pumps from the Innes Shoe Company in Los Angeles, and bear an embossed gold or silver stamp, or an embroidered cloth label, on the white kid leather sole of the right shoe. At the time, many movie studios used plain white silk shoes because they were inexpensive and easily dyed. It is likely that most of the shoes worn by female characters in The Wizard of Oz were plain Innes shoes with varying heel heights, dyed to match each costume. The shoes used for Dorothy's slippers were dyed red; then burgundy sequined organza overlays were attached to each shoe's upper and heel. The film's early 3-strip Technicolor process required the sequins to be darker than most red sequins found today; bright red sequins would have appeared orange on screen. The Art Deco-inspired bows comprised three large rectangular red glass jewels with dark-red bugle beads, outlined in orange-red glass rhinestones in silver settings. The stones and beads were sewn to a piece of red strap leather, then to the organza-covered shoe. Three pairs of the surviving slippers have orange felt glued to their soles to deaden noise. The remaining, unmuffled pair, the smallest, was used on the feet of the dead Wicked Witch of the East and possibly for close-ups of Dorothy (e.g. in Munchkinland and at the Emerald City gates). Garland wore one primary pair during shooting. This pair can be seen when the Witch tries to grab them, while holding Dorothy and her friends captive at her castle; and at the film's climax, when Dorothy taps her heels to return to Kansas. The "sister set" to this pair is owned by Michael Shaw, who obtained them from Kent Warner in 1970. This pair can clearly be seen in the final film when Dorothy shows the ruby slippers to the Emerald City doorman. This pair has been missing since it was stolen from an exhibit at the Judy Garland Museum in Grand Rapids, MN.[2] The last known pair was made for Bobbie Koshay, Judy's stunt double. This is most likely the size 6B pair (owned by Roberta Bauman, Anthony Landini, and current owner David Elkouby) whose lining says "Double" instead of "Judy Garland". Judy may have worn this pair for photos and publicity appearances after the film's primary shooting was finished in 1939.

At a 1970 MGM auction, a pair sold for $15,000 (the pair now on permanent exhibition in the Popular Culture wing; The American History Museum; The Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC.). Another pair was originally owned by a Tennessee woman named Roberta Bauman who won them in a "Name the Best Movies of 1939" Contest at her high school. She owned them until 1988, when she sold them to the auction house Christie's East for $165,000 plus commission. Anthony Landini bought the shoes, and immediately started showing them at The Disney/MGM Studios The Great Movie Ride in Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. Two weeks after Landini bought his pair, yet another authentic pair surfaced, previously owned by Kent Warner, who found most surviving pairs of slippers while working in the Hollywood costume industry. This pair was offered privately through Christie's to the under-bidder of the Bauman shoes. Philip Samuels of St. Louis, Missouri bought them for the same price that Anthony paid, $165,000. Samuels has used his shoes for fund raising for children's charities as well as lending them to The Smithsonian when their slippers are cleaned, repaired or (previously) on tour. Landini auctioned his pair of slippers off, yet again at Christie's East, on May 24, 2000 for $666,000, which included the buyers premium and commission to the auction house. They were sold to David Elkouby and his partners, who own memorabilia shops in Hollywood. Elkouby has been convicted of selling costumes stolen from movie sets.[citation needed] Elkouby and Co. have yet to display the shoes again. Yet another pair of ruby slippers from the film, owned by Michael Shaw, was exhibited in the Oz museum in Wamego, Kansas. They were stolen from the Judy Garland Museum, part of the Children's Discovery Museum in Grand Rapids, Minnesota in August, 2005 and have yet to be recovered. Further information about the history of the shoes can be found in the book The Ruby Slippers of Oz, by Rhys Thomas (1989).

The Ruby Slippers play yet another integral role in the 1985 Disney film "Return to Oz", for which Disney had to obtain rights from MGM to use reproductions in the film.[3] Unlike the slippers used in the 1939 film, the hand-made British spool-heeled shoes for Return to Oz were covered in hundreds of red crystals.[3] The stones were soaked in sulphuric acid to remove the silver backing,[3] and two types of glue were used to affix them to the shoes (a spray glue and an optical glue). No matter what was done, the stones would not stay in place, and kept falling off during filming.[3] Effects were later added in post production to give the slippers their magical glow. Simple, red grosgrain ribbon with additional stones were used for the bows. Four pairs were made for the filming: one pair, size one, for Ozma (Emma Ridley), two pairs, size 2, for Dorothy (Fairuza Balk), and one pair, men's size 10, for The Gnome King (Nicol Williamson). Stagehands were specifically hired to sweep up loose "rubies" that would fall off the slippers after a scene was shot. Fairuza and Emma, being the little girls they were, couldn't keep from playing, skipping and tapping their heels, so eventually they were required to take off the slippers between takes. In 1985, the Walt Disney Company gave away a pair of slippers to promote the film. They were won by a British family, who sold them to prominent Oz collector Willard Carroll in a 2001 eBay auction.

The Western Costume Company in Hollywood claims to have made Garland's original slippers. While it is likely that Western would have been contracted to make some of The Wizard of Oz's many costumes, no records of the original slippers exist to validate their claim. In 1989, to commemorate the movie's 50th anniversary, Western produced the only authorized Ruby Slipper reproductions. Hand-lasted on Judy Garland's original foot mold and completely sequined and jeweled, the reproduction slippers were nearly identical to the originals. Western planned a limited edition of 500 pairs at $5000 each, but halted the project after selling only 16 pairs.

An imitation pair of Ruby Slippers appeared in the 2002 movie, The Master of Disguise. Another pair appeared in an Oz sequence in the cult comedy Kentucky Fried Movie.

According to the revisionist version of the Oz history chronicled in Gregory Maguire's Wicked, the slippers were given to the Wicked Witch of the East (Nessarose) by her father. At the time the shoes appeared silver. After being enchanted by Glinda (the Good Witch of the North) they become items of power that allow Nessarose to walk without the assitance of a wheelchair. The energy of Glinda's spell gave the shoes their famed ruby glow. Maguire's invention thus bridges Baum's silver shoes and the ruby slippers of the film. In the musical adaptation of Wicked, like the novel, the slippers are given to Nessarose by her father. Unlike the book, however, Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, is the one that enchants the shoes, giving Nessarose the ability to walk. This shows the underlying reason why Elphaba wanted the shoes from Dorothy so badly.

The Ruby Slippers of Oz by Rhys Thomas. Tale Weaver Publishing. 1989. A true Hollywood mystery story about the most famous shoes in the world, and the definitive work on the Hollywood Memorabilia Underworld and the man who created it.

In World of Warcraft, the Ruby Slippers are a pair of epic-level cloth shoes dropped by the Wizard of Oz-themed "opera event" in the Karazhan raid instance. The shoes function similarly to the hearthstone that all characters start out with, allowing them to teleport from their current location to the inn where the hearthstone is set. The caption under the statistic lines, much like in the movie, is "There's no place like home."

What should I look for in an antique violin?

This is a question for violinists and collectors of fine stringed instruments:
Let's say I was at an auction and an obviously old violin (with a bow and case) was being displayed before it was put up for bid. As a complete novice (who is interested in learning to play and has an appreciation for the history and beauty of these instruments), what should I be looking for when examining the instrument? Please be specific. Don't say "look for good quality" or "make sure it's in good condition". I don't know what good quality or good condition look like. That's what I'm asking. What makes this violin a good or bad investment? What are some signs that it's been well taken care of? Played regularly? Well-made and well-designed? True antique or knock-off? Also, any links to good guides or info pages would be useful.

for any string instrument, you should be looking for good tonal quality. This is, however, only one of MANY factors that goes into investing in an instrument. if you are just starting to play, I would not suggest going out to buy a really nice antique, but collecting is fine.

First thing you have to decide is how old you want it to be. If you want a Baroque Violin (the oldest), then that is a completely from most other Violins. you may want to look inside the Violin to see the name of the maker and when it was made (it will be on the label placed below the f-hole on the left).

If you are going to play it eventually, you want to have a really nice-sounding instrument. This decision is opinion oriented, but a novice shouldn't be alone in making a decision like this. Get a friend who is an advanced string musician to help you find the right instrument. A Violin that rings and has a sultry tone, in my opinion, is optimal.

many old instruments need to be repaird, and that can be costly. if you see a Violin that you want to buy, but is in need of reperations, you have to consider whether or not it will be worth it. Keep in mind that instruments often sound even better aftr being repaired.

good luck!
