The Big Bang Theory: The Complete First Season
University physicists Leonard and Sheldon know whether to use an integral or a differential to solve the area under a curve. But they don’t have a clue about girls. Or dating. Or clothes. Or parties. Or having fun. Or, basically, life. So when a pretty blonde named Penny moves in the apartment across the hall, the guys decide to get an education outside of the classroom. Boys, you have a lot to learn. With series creators Chuck Lorre (Two and a Half Men) and Bill Prady (The Gilmore Girls) concocting the right mix of logic and lunacy and stars Johnny Galecki (Roseanne) and Jim Parsons (Judging Amy) turning geekdom into Phi Beta fun, The Big Bang Theory is big on laughs. And life.

The Big Bang Theory: The Complete Second Season
The science of funny is back! At work, physicists Leonard and Sheldon and their geek pals conquer the cosmos. At home, real life from dating to driving conquers them. This season, Leonard gets a girl. So does Sheldon. (Sheldon?!) Howard drives the Mars Rover into a ditch. Raj woos a terminator. Gorgeous girl-next-door Penny falls under the spell of Age of Conan. And super-smart, überconfident Leslie Winkle reduces mere men to spineless jellyfish. Twenty-three laugh-filled episodes from series creators Chuck Lorre (Two and a Half Men) and Bill Prady (Dharma & Greg) and a talented cast with astronomical comedy I.Q.s show why Big Bang is such a big hit.

The Big Bang Theory: The Complete Third Season
From Emmy® nominees Chuck Lorre (Two and a Half Men, Dharma & Greg, Cybill, Grace Under Fire) & Bill Prady (Dharma & Greg) comes The Big Bang Theory. Leonard (Galecki) and Sheldon (Parsons) are brilliant physicists, the kind of "beautiful minds" that understand how the universe works. But none of that genius helps them interact with people – especially women. All this changes when a free-spirited beauty named Penny (Cuoco) moves in next door. Sheldon, Leonard's roommate, is quite content spending his nights playing Klingon Boggle with their socially dysfunctional friends, fellow Caltech scientists Howard Wolowitz (Helberg) and Rajesh Koothrappali (Nayyar). Leonard, however, sees in Penny a whole new universe of possibilities ... including love.

The Big Bang Theory: The Complete Fourth Season
“Four seasons in, it is still laugh-out-loud funny. Every episode, every week,” USA Today’s Robert Bianco says about the hit series The Big Bang Theory. Here’s your chance to subject his conclusion to empirical analysis by watching all 24 Season 4 Episodes! This season the Big Bang gang’s romantic universe expands. On the rebound from Penny, Leonard falls into the arms of Raj’s sister Priya. Sheldon gets a girlfriend, or rather a friend who is a girl: Amy, a dour neurobiologist who declares herself besties with Penny. Howard and Bernadette heat up. And so do Raj and Bernadette (at least in Raj’s Bollywood daydream). All in the furtherance of award-winning genius comedy.

Star Wars: The Complete Blu-ray Saga will feature all six live-action Star Wars feature films utilizing the highest possible picture and audio presentation.

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace
(32 Years Before Episode IV) Stranded on the desert planet Tatooine after rescuing young Queen Amidala from the impending invasion of Naboo, Jedi apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi and his Jedi Master discover nine-year-old Anakin Skywalker, a young slave unusually strong in the Force. Anakin wins a thrilling Podrace and with it his freedom as he leaves his home to be trained as a Jedi. The heroes return to Naboo where Anakin and the Queen face massive invasion forces while the two Jedi contend with a deadly foe named Darth Maul. Only then do they realize the invasion is merely the first step in a sinister scheme by the re-emergent forces of darkness known as the Sith.

Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones
(22 Years Before Episode IV) Ten years after the events of the Battle of Naboo, not only has the galaxy undergone significant change, but so have Obi-Wan Kenobi, Padmé Amidala, and Anakin Skywalker as they are thrown together again for the first time since the Trade Federation invasion of Naboo. Anakin has grown into the accomplished Jedi apprentice of Obi-Wan, who himself has transitioned from student to teacher. The two Jedi are assigned to protect Padmé whose life is threatened by a faction of political separatists. As relationships form and powerful forces collide, these heroes face choices that will impact not only their own fates, but the destiny of the Republic.

Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
(19 Years before Episode IV) Three years after the onset of the Clone Wars, the noble Jedi Knights have been leading a massive clone army into a galaxy-wide battle against the Separatists. When the sinister Sith unveil a thousand-year-old plot to rule the galaxy, the Republic crumbles and from its ashes rises the evil Galactic Empire. Jedi hero Anakin Skywalker is seduced by the dark side of the Force to become the Emperor's new apprentice--Darth Vader. The Jedi are decimated, as Obi-Wan Kenobi and Jedi Master Yoda are forced into hiding. The only hope for the galaxy are Anakin's own offspring.

Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope
Nineteen years after the formation of the Empire, Luke Skywalker is thrust into the struggle of the Rebel Alliance when he meets Obi-Wan Kenobi, who has lived for years in seclusion on the desert planet of Tatooine. Obi-Wan begins Luke's Jedi training as Luke joins him on a daring mission to rescue the beautiful Rebel leader Princess Leia from the clutches of the evil Empire.

Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back
Luke Skywalker and his friends have set up a new base on the ice planet of Hoth, but it is not long before their secret location is discovered by the evil Empire. After narrowly escaping, Luke splits off from his friends to seek out a Jedi Master called Yoda. Meanwhile, Han Solo, Chewbacca, Princess Leia, and C-3PO seek sanctuary at a city in the Clouds run by Lando Calrissian, an old friend of Han’s. But little do they realize that Darth Vader already awaits them.

Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi
(4 years after Episode IV) In the epic conclusion of the saga, the Empire prepares to crush the Rebellion with a more powerful Death Star while the Rebel fleet mounts a massive attack on the space station. Luke Skywalker confronts Darth Vader in a final climactic duel before the evil Emperor.

Zumba Fitness Exhilarate: The Ultimate Experience DVD Set

Bigger, bolder, and edgier, the Zumba® Fitness Exhilarate DVD collection is revolutionizing the at-home fitness experience by combining raw energy with cutting-edge design, lights, and sounds to take you on an unforgettable, exhilarating journey to a healthy and happy lifestyle.

The Activate DVD features a 45-minute workout sure to rev up your metabolism.

As Jam-packed with red-hot dance steps, pulsating Latin and international rhythms, and feel-it-to-the-core routines, this invigorating dance-fitness party will have you movin', rockin', and shakin' the weight off to the exotic rhythms of salsa, cumbia, samba, reggaeton, merengue, and more. With music-video style visuals and live musical accompaniment, these multisensory fitness DVDs put you right in the middle of a Zumba® Fitness-Party. And thanks to its nonstop, easy-to-follow choreography and muscle-engaging routines, you'll torch hundreds of calories per hour and sculpt your body from head to toe--without feeling like you’re working out.

The seven-disc DVD collection features seven total-body workouts and each routine utilizes varying levels of intensity to deliver a body-energizing workout that you'll want to move to again and again. The set includes breakdowns of basic steps, a 20-minute "Rush" workout, a 45-minute "Activate" workout, the "Ripped" workout featuring the Zumba® Toning program and breakthrough Zumba Sentao program, a 60-minute "Exhilarate" dance-fitness party, the "Mix" workout featuring rhythms from all over the world, and a massive Zumbathon® Fitness-Concert live class.

About Zumba Fitness
The Zumba Fitness Total Body Transformation System includes four DVDs and two toning sticks. Zumba Fitness® is the only Latin-inspired dance-fitness program that blends red-hot international music, created by Grammy Award-winning producers, and contagious steps to form a "fitness-party" that is downright addictive. Since its inception in 2001, Zumba Fitness has grown to become the world's largest and most successful dance-fitness program with more than 10 million people of all shapes, sizes, and ages taking weekly Zumba classes in over 90,000 locations across more than 110 countries.

A fitness instructor in his native Cali, Colombia, the life of Zumba program's founder, Alberto "Beto" Perez, took an unexpected turn one fateful day in the mid-'90s. He darted off to teach an aerobics class and forgot his traditional aerobics music, so he improvised using his own mix of music from tapes he had in his backpack (the salsa and merengue music he grew up with). Spontaneously, he created a new kind of dance-fitness, one that focused on letting the music move you (instead of counting reps over the music). Energy electrified the room; people couldn't stop smiling. His class loved it! And on that day, a revolutionary new fitness concept was born--the Zumba Fitness-Party.

The Exhilarate DVD features a 60-minute dance party workout that torches calories.

In 2001, Beto brought his new dance-fitness style to Miami, Florida, and, through a student (Alberto Perlman's mom), met entrepreneurs Alberto Perlman and Alberto Aghion. All three hailed from Colombia and all three had a vision to bring this dynamic dance-fitness class to the masses. The three Albertos formed an alliance and created a business, calling it Zumba Fitness. They trademarked the word Zumba® and set a goal to expand the brand all over the world. First came the DVDs, then the infomercial--which introduced the Zumba Fitness-Party to the public on a wide-scale basis. That followed with the demand for Zumba classes and Zumba instructors and then the company took off and the Zumba program expanded in a big way. By 2005, Zumba Fitness spawned a full-fledged Zumba Academy to license Zumba Instructors to teach Zumba classes. More expansion followed with the launch of Zumbawear apparel and accessories, music CDs, and in 2008, one of the bestselling at-home fitness DVD series ever--the Zumba Fitness® Total Body Transformation System--which starred Beto and introduced Zumba Fitness' newest stars, Tanya Beardsley and Gina Grant. In 2010, Zumba shook the ground by being the first branded fitness program to launch a video game on all three major gaming platforms: Wii, Xbox, and PS3.

Fast forward to today, the Zumba program is now taught in gyms and studios all over the world to millions of Zumba enthusiasts. And as the program continues to evolve from its humble beginnings, to a global movement, to a way of life--its growth has only deepened the company's commitment to providing accessible fitness, without the strain, without the sacrifice, just the pure joy of a party.

Kitsch Vs Retro: Dodgy Decor Standoff

!±8± Kitsch Vs Retro: Dodgy Decor Standoff

Strange as it may seem, there are people who enjoy decorating their homes in styles of bygone eras. And, we not talking about vintage style, or anything that smacks of class or elegance, we're talking about the dodgy designs that proliferated in the 50s, 60s, 70s, and even, these days, the 80s. Some call it retro, some call it kitsch. Those who call it retro don't like it when you call it kitsch and those who call it kitsch don't much care what you call it because they're happy in their Elvis-themed rooms bowing before their shrines to Graceland.

According to Wikipedia, retro is a "culturally outdated or aged style, trend, mode, or fashion, from the overall postmodern past, that has since that time become functionally or superficially the norm once again." That's a very long-winded way of saying that people get hooked on the past and develop dangerous obsessions with plaid. Of course those who are into retro prefer to think of it in more positive terms and once again we turn to Wikipedia which obliges us with a referral to "quirky or attractive products that are no longer available". There is even a term for an intense love of retro objects: retrophilia.

For the discerning, there is a difference between kitsch and retro with kitsch being the inferior of the two styles. Wikipedia weighs in with a brief history on the word, which is of German origin and used to refer to inferior or tasteless art that shamelessly borrows from the real thing. Kitsch refers to things that are aesthetically deficient, and gaudy. Kitsch takes things which could be subjectively construed as cool (Elvis, Star Wars, garden gnomes, Oriental influences) and mangles them so badly that they are barely recognisable.

A few examples

When one thinks of retro décor, one thinks of colours, textures and bold shapes. The most obvious example, and one which almost anyone referring to retro examples uses, is the avocado green kitchen. You've seen it movies and TV shows and maybe even is some old family photos. The walls are green, the floor is black and white chequered linoleum, the wall phone is turquoise and the curtains are brown (there may or may not be an orange rug on the floor).

The example above harks back to the 50s and 60s. 70s retro is a little more adventurous; the colours are brighter and seem almost to clash on purpose, lava lamps make an appearance and beaded curtains separate rooms instead of doors.

Coral Nafie writes about retro in a way that makes it seem almost reasonable. She says that retro should have a fun, lively feel to it, a sense of flair and should definitely be funky. She shamelessly admits that retro is loud and busy and that furniture should be big and bulky; rather than the more subtle approach of having one piece of furniture as the focal point in a room, all of the furniture in a retro room vies for attention. Avocado green is mentioned as are chequered patterns, tie-dyed fabrics and shag carpeting.

Those who want to venture into retro should bear in mind one important word of caution: too much retro equals kitsch.

Which brings us, rather neatly, to some examples of kitsch décor, and we really are spoilt for choice. Think ceramic pink flamingos on a lawn, porcelain dogs in the living room, three ducks flying across the passage wall, frog-shaped tea pots, stuffed fake alligators (which are only moderately better than stuffed real ones), animal heads on the wall and rooms stuffed full of Raggedy Anne dolls. To really epitomise kitsch, however, you need to get your hands on a poster of Yoda Elvis. Nothing says screams aesthetically deficient like Yoda in an Elvis jumpsuit.

So, on a scale of one to ten, neither styles scores. But if you really have to choose one or the other, pick retro, you'll have more fun and are less likely to be estranged from all your loved ones.

Tips on Installing a Beaded Curtain

!±8± Tips on Installing a Beaded Curtain

It's hard to know exactly when it happened, but make no mistake about it - the 60's and 70's are definitely creeping back into style. Whether it is because the music of the time refuses to die (Janice Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, The Bee Gees, etc.), or because current pop culture keeps reminding us (think Austin Powers, baby), it is definitely hip to be retro. Vintage T-shirts, hip huggers and lava lamps are just some of the items enjoying a renaissance of sorts. It may be time to add another accessory to that growing list of groovy comebacks. The beaded curtain is quickly becoming popular again, as people everywhere are adding this unique accessory to their home interiors. They are sure to liven up any room, and better yet, they are so easy to install. In this article, we'll provide you with some easy tips on installing a beaded curtain.

First things first - what exactly is a beaded curtain? For those of you born after the time of free love and flower power, a beaded curtain is a curtain made from many strands of beads that extend down to the floor. These curtains are typically hung outside of a doorway, so that people can truly make an entrance. They usually feature a wide array of different colors, and can even be made to create a painted picture or design. Beaded curtains provide any room with a new look, and you might not believe how easy they are to install. In fact, putting up a beaded curtain should take you 5-10 minutes, tops.

The first thing you need to do in order to install a beaded curtain is to gather a few necessary supplies. You will obviously need the curtain, and in addition you will need a hammer, a pencil, and either two nails or two hooks. That's it. Once you have selected the doorway from which to hang your beaded curtain, you are ready to go.

You have the option of hanging a beaded curtain either inside or outside of the door frame. However, it is recommended you choose to hang the curtain on the outside of the frame, just for the sake of convenience. Hold the curtain up above the door frame, and make sure that is level against the wall. Take your pencil and make two marks where your nails or hooks will go. This will ensure that you are hanging the beaded curtain evenly.

The next step is to hammer your nails or hooks into the wall above the door frame. Use the marks you have made with the pencil as your guide and you should have no problem. It is important that you make sure the nails or hooks are securely hammered into the wall. After this step is completed, simply hang your beaded curtain onto the nails or hooks and enjoy!

See, wasn't that simple? These tips on installing a beaded curtain will truly turn this job into a breeze, giving you plenty of time to enjoy this wonderful blast from the past. Have fun!

Antique Lamps - Style and Ambiance

!±8± Antique Lamps - Style and Ambiance

Light creates the ambiance of your home, whether it is a modern award winning architectural building or a humble cottage. Getting the right lighting effect adds the final touch to your interior design plans and is worth considering at the outset of any new design, or redesign of your home.

Overhead interior lighting fixtures and fittings can be complimented and in fact, should be complimented - with a range of 'occasional lighting', floor lamps and table lamps. Any home, whatever the style, needs just the right lighting effect to set off the furnishings and decor, not to mention it will turn your house into a home.

Using antique lamps to create the finishing touch can work well in any home, modern or otherwise, creating a real feature and talking point. Mixing and matching styles of furniture and decoration is a very old design trick. In a very modern home antique piece works incredibly well, and fit naturally into period or traditional homes. By example, a visit to a Stately home will illustrate the effectiveness of mixing design eras for maximum impact.

Very few of these houses have an interior design scheme from just one period. Victoriana mixes happily with Georgian features, Jacobean with 20th century. Even a retro-phone next to a broadband router works surprisingly well! While you shouldn't be afraid to go ahead and mix up your design periods, this approach should be handled with care! Mixing styles can work particularly well in old houses, from country cottages to Georgian style manor houses. Getting the feel right, however, is not straightforward. French Ormolu does not always fit in a suburban semi - it can, if handled well, but is not always quite the 'look'!

Thinking about the house itself is important. Old houses usually incorporate several historical periods of design already, and for this reason can be well suited to the eclectic mix and match approach. More modern houses, be it a Victorian terrace or a thirties house may need a more careful approach. If you are a 'period' stylist, you may want to go to extremes and decorate this type of house with antiques and features from just one specific period.

In either case, getting the right finishing touches for your light fittings is important. Victorian terraces or villas would traditionally have possessed gas lighting, and antique lamps that have been for converted for electric use are ideal for this type of home. Having your electrician add a dimmer switch - not a difficult job itself - to the control will add a more authentic look. Paraffin and oil lamps can also be sourced to add lighting details, again this type of antique lamp can be sourced that has been adapted to be used with electrical fittings - reducing the work and smell involved!

20th Century Homes.

A 1930s home or any 20th century building can be pretty adaptable when it comes to style. Structurally they can lend themselves well to opening up rooms to create a more modern feel or adding and extending to create space. In this case you may decide to go for a fully modernist interior design and this type of house can suit it well. Adding the odd period feature, however, can provide a visual nod to the buildings origins, making a surprisingly effective statement. If you choose to be faithful to the period style of your home, furnishing with items from the period is easily done.

Antique shops and online traders can be found that specialise in various eras. Iconic designs from the 60s and 70s such as the Lava lamp are still reproduce and widely available, as are feature vintage lamps from just about every style the 20th century has to offer

Choices, Choices, Choices.

Whatever type, or style of building you are making into your home, the details of your interior design will be important. Using antique lamps throughout the design, whether it is period or modernist can create a great visual impact, lighting your home in a subtle welcoming way. Added to their beauty is the fact that antique lamps have an inbuilt value in them, making them an investment for the future as well as a unique and attractive design statement.

The range of available antique lamps is also extremely varied. Popular designs include classic French designs, English and Japanese lamps, plus the vast range of Chinese porcelains. Each of these styles is adaptable, but if you have a very modern design scheme, Japanese style is worth considering.
