Winner of Britain's "The X-Factor," Leona Lewis debuts with a mix of pop and R&B. She is blessed with a vocal range that's so versatile, in songs like "Better In Time," that one may immediately compare her to Mariah Carey or Beyoncé Knowles, especially in "The First Time I Ever Saw You." It's not Lewis's fault that her voice doesn't distinguish her from these stars, but her producer, Simon Cowell (American Idol), plays it safe, and doesn't add anything new to what Tommy Mottola achieved with Mariah decades ago. That's not to say that the album is bad, but let's just hope Leona Lewis's sophomore effort shakes things up a bit more. --Ernesto Sánchez (People en Español ) Ganadora del concurso de talento británico "The X-Factor," Leona Lewis debuta con una mezcla de pop y R&B aderezada de una tesitura de voz que en sus momentos más agudos ("Better In Time") no deja de recordar a Mariah Carey, o que en sus notas graves ("The First Time I Ever Saw You"), pareciera ser Beyoncé Knowles. No es su culpa que su voz no tenga distinción, pero su productor, Simon Cowell (American Idol), juega a lo seguro y no propone nada que Tommy Mottola no haya logrado décadas atrás con Mariah y que decenas de seguidores han intentado hacer sin cambiar el mundo de la música. Eso no quiere decir que el disco de Leona Lewis sea malo, pero por favor, esperemos que en su próximo disco proponga. --Ernesto Sánchez (People en Español )

The Wailin' Jennys--Cara Luft, Nicky Mehta, and Ruth Moody--are three Canadian singer-songwriters with already established careers who first got together for a one-shot gig in 2002 and, to their surprise, discovered that their voices blended in an almost magical harmony. They decided to put their solo endeavors aside for a while to see where this gift would take them, and the appealing folk-pop vibe of 40 Days is the result. They perform an eclectic selection of material, including covers of John Hiatt's "Take It Down" and Neil Young's "Old Man" plus lovely versions of the old English folk songs "The Parting Glass" and "Saucy Sailor." However, it's the original songs that stand out most. As you would expect, each Jenny has a distinctive voice and writing style, but the amazing vocal harmonies help Luft's spiky, rock-inflected songs, Mehta's poetic and mysterious meditations, and Moody's lively Celtic-tinged melodies blend into a seamless whole. --Michael John Simmons

Disney presents a high-tech motion picture unlike anything you've ever seen in an astonishing 3D Combo Pack. Immerse yourself in the digital world of Tron, as celebrated actor Jeff Bridges stars in a revolutionary visual effects adventure beyond imagination. When Flynn, the world's greatest video game creator, sends out a secret signal from an amazing digital realm, his son discovers the clue and embarks on a personal journey to save his long-lost father. With the help of the fearless female warrior Quorra, father and son venture through an incredible cyber universe and wage the ultimate battle of good versus evil. Bring home an unrivaled entertainment experience with Tron: Legacy in jaw-dropping Disney Blu-ray 3D - complete with never-before-seen bonus features that take you even deeper into the phenomenal world of Tron. It's magic in a new dimension.Features include: •MPAA Rating: PG•Format: Blu-Ray•Runtime: 125 minutes
The luminescent lines and shimmering surfaces of Tron: Legacy will tantalize anyone who's lusted after the latest smartphone. The long-ago disappearance of his computer-genius father has left Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund, Four Brothers) with existential ennui and a lot of money. When he discovers his father's secret workshop, he gets sucked into a computerized realm ruled by a megalomaniac computer program named Clu--who just happens to be his father's virtual doppelganger. To find his real father (Jeff Bridges, reprising his role from the original Tron, with a bit of his role from The Big Lebowski thrown in for kicks), Sam has to fight in gladiatorial games, drive in digital demolition derbies, and be stripped and dressed by slinky pneumatic babes. For all the techno-babble and quasi-philosophy the characters spout, this is a movie without an idea in its shiny head. It would be pointless to describe the many sillinesses because Tron: Legacy isn't actually trying to be smart; it's trying to look cool. It succeeds. Olivia Wilde (House) looks like the coolest action figure ever (if the entire movie could be nothing but the shot of her lounging on a futuristic sofa, it would be a masterpiece of avant-garde gizmo-fetishism). The facemasks are cool, the glowing skintight outfits are cool, the light-cycles are really, really cool--and let's be honest, it's all about the light-cycles. That's what the audience for Tron wants, and that's what Tron: Legacy delivers. --Bret Fetzer Versions of Tron: Legacy on Blu-ray and DVD Tron: Legacy DVD Tron: Legacy (Two-Disc Combo) Tron: Legacy (Four-Disc Combo) Tron: Legacy / Tron The Original Classic (Five-Disc Combo) Tron: Legacy / Tron: The Original Classic (Five-Disc Combo in Identity Disc Collectible Packaging) Release Date April 5, 2011 April 5, 2011 April 5, 2011 April 5, 2011 April 5, 2011 Format/Disc # DVD Blu-ray, DVD Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray, DVD, Digital Copy Tron: Legacy includes: Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray, DVD, Digital Copy Tron: The Original Classics includes: Blu-ray Tron: Legacy includes: Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray, DVD, Digital Copy Tron: The Original Classics includes: Blu-ray Tron: Legacy Blu-ray 3D No No Yes Yes Yes Tron: The Original Classic No No No Yes Yes Digital Copy No No Yes Yes Yes Collectable Lithograph No No No No Yes Bonus Content First look at Tron: Uprising, the Disney XD animated series; Visualizing Tron: Watch how the filmmakers brought the astonishing world inside the Grid to life; Installing the cast: Stars discuss their Tron experience Same as Tron: Legacy DVD The Next Day: Flynn Lives Revealed: What happens immediately following the end of the movie?; Launching the Legacy: Beyond the amazing visuals is a rich story filled with an entire world's history and mythology; Disc Roars: Watch director Joseph Kosinski use the raucous crowd at Comic-Con to record actual ADR for the disc game stadium crowd; Music video: “Derezzed” written, produced, and performed by Daft Punk Same as Tron: Legacy DVD Same as Tron: Legacy (Two-Disc Combo) Same as Tron: Legacy DVD Same as Tron: Legacy (Two-Disc Combo) Same as Tron: Legacy DVD Same as Tron: Legacy (Two-Disc Combo) Limited edition identity disc packaging Tron: The Original Classic Bonus Content None None None Exclusive photo Tronology; The Tron phenomenon; The making of Tron; Deleted scenes: with introductions by Bruce Boxleitner; Audio commentary:Steven Lisberger, Donald Kushner, Harrison Ellenshaw and Richard Taylor; Production gallery; Storyboards: showcasing early work on Light Cycles; Storyboard-To-Film comparisons Exclusive photo Tronology; The Tron phenomenon; The making of Tron; Deleted scenes: with introductions by Bruce Boxleitner; Audio commentary:Steven Lisberger, Donald Kushner, Harrison Ellenshaw and Richard Taylor; Production gallery; Storyboards: showcasing early work on Light Cycles; Storyboard-To-Film comparisons

And that's just the beginning, as the Champion Plus also offers a punch reamer, multipurpose hook, wood saw, fish scaler, and hook disgorger. In short, there's no better accessory for camping, hunting, and fishing trips. Should the basic tools not cut it, the Champion Plus steps up with a host of extras, including a metal file, metal saw, fine screwdriver, mini screwdriver, and chisel scraper. Add in such tools as a ruler, nail file, nail cleaner, magnifying glass, pressurized ball point pen, straight pen, sewing eye, and key ring and you're well equipped for everything from repairing holes in tents to reading the fine print on instructions.

Victorinox attends to every detail, from selecting the finest materials to performing the final inspection. In addition, each individual tool has been hardened in a different way to stand up to its designated use. Such care is unmatched, and is why the Champ series is recognized by such international experts as the New York Museum of Modern Art and the State Museum of Applied Art in Munich, both of which have selected it for their "excellence in design" collections. Outfitted with a nylon handle and an aluminum housing, the Champion Plus carries a lifetime warranty. The Champion Plus measures just 3-1/2 inches long and contains 30 useful tools.

Thus began what would become the international brand name Victorinox, a combination of Victoria, for Elsener's mother, and "inox," or stainless steel. Today, Victorinox produces watches, luggage, clothing, and, famously, Swiss Army Knives. The original product dates to 1897, when Elsener patented the Swiss Officer's and Sports Knife he supplied to the Swiss Army. Following World War II, American servicemen and women shopping in PX stores shortened the name to Swiss Army Knife, which lives on in English-speaking countries around the world and has become a metaphor for versatility.

Cinderella (Two-Disc Special Edition)
List Price: $29.99

|
Worry not, Disney fans--this special edition DVD of the beloved Cinderella won't turn into a pumpkin at the strike of midnight. One of the most enduring animated films of all time, the Disney-fied adaptation of the gory Brothers Grimm fairy tale became a classic in its own right, thanks to some memorable tunes (including "A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes," "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo," and the title song) and some endearingly cute comic relief. The famous slipper (click for larger image) We all know the story--the wicked stepmother and stepsisters simply won't have it, this uppity Cinderella thinking she's going to a ball designed to find the handsome prince an appropriate sweetheart, but perseverance, animal buddies, and a well-timed entrance by a fairy godmother make sure things turn out all right. There are a few striking sequences of pure animation--for example, Cinderella is reflected in bubbles drifting through the air--and the design is rich and evocative throughout. It's a simple story padded here agreeably with comic business, particularly Cinderella's rodent pals (dressed up conspicuously like the dwarf sidekicks of another famous Disney heroine) and their misadventures with a wretched cat named Lucifer. There's also much harrumphing and exposition spouting by the King and the Grand Duke. It's a much simpler and more graceful work than the more frenetically paced animated films of today, which makes it simultaneously quaint and highly gratifying. --David Kronke DVD Features For another of its classic films, Disney delivers another dazzling DVD with a gorgeous, razor-sharp picture and 5.1 sound. (Note: the 1949 film is properly presented in full-screen format, 1.33 aspect ratio, because widescreen films weren't made until the '50s.) The best part of the supplemental features is the archival material, the absolute highlight of which is two unused songs, "Cinderella's Work Song" (in which Cinderella imagines multiplying herself à la the Sorcerer's Apprentice) and "Dancing on a Cloud." Bippity-boppity-boo! (click for larger image) Because these numbers were never animated, they're accompanied by stylish illustrations from the Disney artists, and they're simply marvelous to look at. The artist of much of that material, Mary Blair, gets her due in a 15-minute featurette, while the better known "Nine Old Men" are the subject of a round-table discussion among some of today's top animators. In addition, a 38-minute documentary covers their contributions to specific characters of Cinderella as well as the film in general and the vocal cast. Also on the historical side is "The Cinderella That Almost Was," tracking the development of the project through decades of original Disney concepts, characters, and songs, including the 1922 silent "Laugh-o-Gram," which is also included in its entirety. The pumpkin transformed (click for larger image) Additional musical material includes three radio programs and a short promo of the movie by Perry Como, in which he summarizes the plot amid some songs by the Fontaine Sisters, star Ilene Woods, and the host himself. Seven other unused songs (17 minutes total) are available in audio-only. The material for kids is on the sparse side, consisting of two music videos, Disney Channel personality Sally (from "Mike's Super Short Show") learning how to become a princess with the help of the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition crew and others, a minor dancing-princess feature, and a DVD-ROM design studio. Oddest extra: ESPN's "top Cinderella stories," including the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team and Joe Namath's New York Jets, although stories on Mia Hamm and tennis's Williams sisters should appeal to the film's primary target audience of young girls. --David Horiuchi Cinderella Throughout the Years Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella (1957 Television Production) Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella (1965) The Slipper and the Rose (1976) Faerie Tale Theatre - Cinderella (1982) Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella (1997) Ever After - A Cinderella Story(1998)

Firefly - The Complete Series
List Price: $49.98
Sale Price: $22.56

As the 2005 theatrical release of Serenity made clear, Firefly was a science fiction concept that deserved a second chance. Devoted fans (or "Browncoats") knew it all along, and with this well-packaged DVD set, those who missed the show's original broadcasts can see what they missed. Creator Joss Whedon's ambitious science-fiction Western (Whedon's third series after Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel) was canceled after only 11 of these 14 episodes had aired on the Fox network, but history has proven that its demise was woefully premature. Whedon's generic hybrid got off to a shaky start when network executives demanded an action-packed one-hour premiere ("The Train Job"); in hindsight the intended two-hour pilot (also titled "Serenity," and oddly enough, the final episode aired) provides a better introduction to the show's concept and splendid ensemble cast. Obsessive fans can debate the quirky logic of combining spaceships with direct parallels to frontier America (it's 500 years in the future, and embattled humankind has expanded into the galaxy, where undeveloped "outer rim" planets struggle with the equivalent of Old West accommodations), but Whedon and his gifted co-writers and directors make it work, at least well enough to fashion a credible context from the incongruous culture-clashing of past, present, and future technologies, along with a polyglot language (the result of two dominant superpowers) that combines English with an abundance of Chinese slang. What makes it work is Whedon's delightfully well-chosen cast and their nine well-developed characters--a typically Whedon-esque extended family--each providing a unique perspective on their adventures aboard Serenity, the junky but beloved "Firefly-class" starship they call home. As a veteran of the disadvantaged Independent faction's war against the all-powerful planetary Alliance (think of it as Underdogs vs. Overlords), Serenity captain Malcolm Reynolds (Nathan Fillion) leads his compact crew on a quest for survival. They're renegades with an amoral agenda, taking any job that pays well, but Firefly's complex tapestry of right and wrong (and peace vs. violence) is richer and deeper than it first appears. Tantalizing clues about Blue Sun (an insidious mega-corporation with a mysteriously evil agenda), its ties to the Alliance, and the traumatizing use of Serenity's resident stowaway (Summer Glau) as a guinea pig in the development of advanced warfare were clear indications Firefly was heading for exciting revelations that were precluded by the series' cancellation. Fortunately, the big-screen Serenity (which can be enjoyed independently of the series) ensured that Whedon's wild extraterrestrial west had not seen its final sunset. Its very existence confirms that these 14 episodes (and enjoyable bonus features) will endure as irrefutable proof Fox made a glaring mistake in canceling the series. --Jeff Shannon Beyond Firefly on DVD Watch Stargate: Continuum on DVD Catch up on Stargate Atlantis on DVD Check out Sunshine on DVD Stills from Firefly (Click for larger image)
Airing on Fox in 2002-2003, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" creator Joss Whedon's mix of sci-fi spectacle and Western drama followed the ragtag crew of the transport spaceship Serenity. Five hundred years in the future, the men and women of Serenity try to stay one step ahead of the totalitarian Alliance in control of the galaxy while running odd jobs--legal and otherwise--that take them to frontier worlds. Nathan Fillion, Gina Torres, Adam Baldwin, Alan Tudyk, Jewel Staite, and Ron Glass star.

Despicable Me (Three-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo)
List Price: $29.98
Sale Price: $14.99
|
|
|
Despicable Me is a compelling animated comedy about an aging supervillain's falling popularity at the hands of a younger supervillain and three young orphan girls. Gru is a true, bad-to-the-core evildoer who's earned the title of the world's No. 1 supervillain. But when young upstart Vector steals the Pyramid of Giza, Gru's status suddenly sinks to No. 2. Gru counters his fall by speeding up his plan to shrink and steal the moon, enlisting the help of his army of minions and the elderly Dr. Nefario, but a lack of funding and the difficulties involved in stealing the needed shrink-ray gun threaten to derail everything. Adopting three young orphan girls is an unlikely, but seemingly effective means to further Gru's evil mission, but Gru quickly discovers that caring for three young girls is more work, and distraction, than he could ever have anticipated. What unfolds is an unexpected shift in attitude that will forever change the lives of Gru, Vector, and all three young girls. A visually appealing film produced by Chris Meledandri (Ice Age, Ice Age 2: The Meltdown, and Horton Hears a Who), Despicable Me is full of weirdly shaped characters and settings that are somehow a perfect fit for Sergio Pablos's story. What's especially refreshing is that in this film, 3-D effects are used skillfully and effectively: even when the effects are exploited for comic reasons, they don't become a distraction, as is all too common in many recent movies. The film is full of corny banter and silly antics that inspire plenty of spontaneous laughter, and the minions, while not the best-developed characters, sure are comical. Ultimately, there's also a wholesome message about following one's heart. Steve Carell is the perfect villain-gone-soft in his role as Gru, Jason Segal is quite funny as Vector, and Julie Andrews makes a surprising appearance as Gru's very un-motherly mom. The story isn't new, the humor is relatively juvenile and somewhat forgettable, and it's no Toy Story 3, but Despicable Me celebrates silliness in a way that's satisfying and highly entertaining. (Ages 6 and older) --Tami Horiuchi
"**** This Year's COOLEST Animated Comedy!" - Jeff Craig, Sixty Second Preview Get ready for a minion laughs in the funniest blockbuster hit of the year!

But when Gru enlists the help of three little girls, they see something in him nobody else has ever seen: the perfect dad. From executive producer Chris Meledandri (Horton Hears a Who, Ice Age), and featuring the voices of an all-star comedic cast, including Jason Segel, Russell Brand, Miranda Cosgrove and Julie Andrews, Despicable Me is "rousingly funny, heartfelt and imaginative" (Pete Hammond, Boxoffice Magazine).

Here are some more information for Glasses Old:

Collecting Vintage Glass
Collecting antiques is a very rewarding and often lucrative hobby. Being able to own a piece of furniture, a painting or a piece of jewellery that was made hundreds or thousands of years ago helps us appreciate the craftsmanship of the time and also the quality of the wood, metal or gemstones.
Being a collector of antique glass is no different, and the fact that these items are so delicate and unique makes them all the more interesting and valuable. As you can appreciate, glass is easily broken or damaged and keeping something perfect for decades is a feat in itself, let alone for longer periods.
The process of making glass was founded in the east around 3500 years ago and started with the basic heating and melting of sand. Lime is added to the sand to help it melt at lower temperatures and helps the makers work with it more easily. The lime component also acts as a stabiliser, as natural glass will be very brittle on it's own. Other minerals were added to the glass to make the colors, effects and finishes that make these pieces so beautiful. Elements like magnesium, copper or cobalt were mixed with the base materials to generate vibrant colors and patterns.
Over the years, the techniques used to make glass has changed from a simple process of making containers or shapes with molten glass, sometimes decorated on the surface, to more complicated pieces. The Romans used glass cups and goblets for drinking and the Egyptians were also using glass containers around the middle of the 14th century. England began to use glass to decorate their churches, using stained glass windows. Taught by the Venetians, the glass makers of europe began to produce some very intricate pieces and processes such as engraving, sand blasting and cutting were used to decorate glass objects of all types. Images, heraldry, names and designs all began to appear on the surface of the glass, as people began to put value on finer made pieces.
If you are interested in collecting antique glass, there are a few points that you might need to consider when buying a piece at auction or sale. Firstly, you will need to consider the origin of the item. Some glass pieces were copied, reproduced and mass produced all over the world after their style became popular. Knowing if the piece is a repro item will ensure that you are not paying over the odds.
Something that all collectors of antiques worry about is the condition of the piece. Damaged items still hold their value, but old or vintage glass, being so delicate, becomes quickly worthless when broken. Cracks and chips are common in older pieces, mainly due to it's age and history, but newer pieces should be in perfect condition if possible.
Older glass is also more inferior than newer versions. It was not until lead oxide was added to the process that glass became very bright and translucent. Cloudy glass is a sign of age and also of the piece being genuine. You might also be able to see imperfections in the glass where the process was a little crude and not as refined as today. Bubbles, mis-shaped edges and imperfect circles or rims are a good indication of this.
About the Author
Come over to the authors website, all about Depression Glass, where you can read more on collecting vintage glassware. This kind of glass was mass produced during the American great depression and was cheap, cheerful and in plentiful supply. It is now a great collectors item, the Pink Depression Glass being the most popular.
Is it ok to wear my new prescription contacts with my old prescription glasses?
I just got new contacts. But I didn't get new glasses.
I am wondering, is it ok to wear my new prescription contacts one day and then suddenly wear my old prescription glasses the next day?
Would that ruin my eyes and/or vision?
NO it is fine, especially if your glasses are just a back up. Often times your prescription does not change drastically enough to spend the money on both contact lenses and a new pair of prescription glasses. it cannot hurt your eyes.
