Mysteries of the Bible - Prophets: Soul Catchers
"The prophets -- whose visions are said to have come directly from God -- have long intrigued students of the Bible. This exploration of these legendary figures tries to determine whether they actually existed and looks at the cause and meaning of their proclaimed divine possession. From Elijah's ecstatic voice to Jeremiah's haunting vision of the fall of the Holy Temple, the lives and messages of the prophets are examined in depth on this disc."

The Six Billion Dollar Experiment
Well, I live very close to the CERN, so if a black hole does ensue next November, I'll be among the very first to enter it. Unfortunately, if that does occur, I won't be able to post to tell you all what it is like. :D
The Secret of El Dorado
"New evidence that advanced societies flourished in the Amazon Basin before the arrival of Europeans
"It was the most notorious wild-goose chase in history: the Conquistadors’ search for El Dorado, a fabulous kingdom of gold that Indians said lay hidden in the jungles of the Amazon Basin. But now, at last, archaeologists have uncovered the truth behind that myth. They have found evidence of a huge society, as advanced as the Egyptians or the Incas, right in the heart of the rainforest. And this is more than the story of a lost world rediscovered.
"For it seems that the people of the real El Dorado possessed a secret with the power to transform our world and their secret in the soil could be the solution to solving famine in the thrid world and other nations once and for all."

Neil deGrasse Tyson presentation - Beyond Belief
"This is a presentation on science, religion, and how poorly-designed humans, the Earth, and the universe really are. The presenter, Neil deGrasse Tyson, is the new host of the PBS-TV program "NOVA scienceNOW", director of the Hayden Planetarium in the Rose Center For Earth and Space at the American Museum of Natural History. He is the recipient of seven honorary doctorates and the NASA Distinguished Public Service Medal."
Pandora's Box - Episode 4 - Goodbye Mrs Ant
"A modern fable about science and society, focusing on our attitude to nature. Should we let scientists be the prime movers of social or political change when, for instance, DDT made post-war heroes of American scientists only to be put on trial by other scientists in 1968? What kind of in-fighting goes on between rival camps before one scientific truth emerges, and when it does emerge, just how true is it?"

Pot O'Gold (starring James Stewart and Paulette Goddard)
"Also known as "The Golden Hour". "Jimmy, the owner of a failed music shop, goes to work with his uncle, the owner of a food factory. Before he gets there, he befriends an Irish family who happens to be his uncle's worst enemy because of their love for music and in-house band who constantly practices. Soon, Jimmy finds himself trying to help the band by getting them gigs and trying to reconcile the family with his uncle, an avid music-hater, all while winning the heart of the beautiful Molly!" Directed by George Marshall, written by Haydn Roth Evans and Robert Brilmayer, 1941. Film in the public domain available at Archive.org"
Another EarthShip - Angel's Nest
If I had the means, I'd build one for my son with room enough for the family which he would so like to have, one for my daughter and my grand-daughter, plus one for my grand-daughter as she is growing so fast and will want her independence in a few short years, and one for my hubby and myself. I'd also have a few more built for like-minded friends.
My dream home - an EarthShip
Unfortunately, it is not on my tiny income that I can afford one, however much I really want to have one. I also have a few good ideas for an EartShip to generate even more electricity and even generate water from the air, and I would use square foot gardening so as to amply feed myself and my family all year round. If anyone wants to offer me the money needed to pay for land and the building of an EarthShip in Switzerland where I live, I'll accept with eternal gratitude. In fact, my dream is much bigger than just having an EarthShip - what I would love to be able to do is to have a whole village/community of EarthShips being built, in the hope that the example would inspire countless other people to do the same. :)

Andrey Vinogradov (Russia) - Maslenskaya (Traditional Russian Pancake week tune)
"Maslenitsa (Russian: Мáсленица), Cheesefare Week, or Pancake week is a Russian religious and folk holiday. It is celebrated during the last week before Great Lent—that is, the seventh week before Pascha (Easter)—though some of its traditions date back to the pagan times. Maslenitsa corresponds to the Western Christian Carnival, except that the Orthodox Lent begins on a Monday instead of a Wednesday. In 2007, Maslenitsa was celebrated from February 12 to February 18."

Weather Report with Jaco Pastorius - Black Market
Not very good picture quality, but a jazz classic with pretty good sound quality.
Assez mauvaise qualité d'image, mais un classique du jazz de bonne qualité sonore.

Hauntings
"This absorbing A&E program profiles three families who are certain that specters and other strange phenomena inhabit their homes. From a Midwest clan that enlists a ghostbuster to a Pennsylvania family followed by spirits to 11 different houses, these stories could turn doubting Thomases into believers. On the other hand, skeptics may prefer to accept the logical explanations of historians, psychologists and a prize-winning physicist."
The Philadelphia Experiment
"Much has been written and speculated about this legend of an experiment in "electronic camouflage," both pro and con. Reportedly it ended with the ship teleporting from Philadelphia to Norfolk with some crew members becoming embedded in the ship. Sorting the facts from the fiction has proven an almost impossible task, particularly with the recent flux of misinformation and deliberate disinformation that has been injected into the internet by those connected to the U.S. intelligence community, professional skeptics and arm chair researchers.
"This documentary sheds new light on project 'Invisibility'-a secretive military project rendering its test subject invisible but ended with catastrophic consequences.
"The Philadelphia Experiment; Was it simply a Degausing method used by the military or was it something much more?"
