  Rick Steves' Europe [#108]
  Surprising Bulgaria
  Bulgaria is a time war of old and new - from chic shops in the city to donkey cars in the country. We hike to a mountain monastery, meet two sculptors (dad does Stalin, son does nudes), and enjoy a traditional dinner feast at a local home. duration 28:00   CC STEREO TVG

  Passport to Adventure [#122]
  Sea Kayaking In Southern Thailand
  The limestone cliffs of southern Thailand make this a paradise for kayakers. Hosts Mark Jennings & Julie Conover team up with one of the first eco-tourism companies in Asia to explore the aquamarine waters of Phang Na Bay on kayaks. It's dazzling caves, coves and inland lagoons are home to many colorful bird species, monkeys and exotic sea life. In the island's towering hongs, or caves, Mark & Julie meet the local "hunters" who search for highly prized nests that are sold to make the notorious Chinese aphrodisiac "birds nest soup". Camping on pristine, deserted beaches and enjoying tropical sunsets with a diverse group of adventurers caps off this tropical adventure. duration 27:15   CC TVG

  Nova [#3613]
  Becoming Human: First Steps
  A comprehensive 3-part series investigating explosive new discoveries that are transforming the picture of how we became human. Shot "in the trenches" as discoveries were unearthed throughout Africa and Europe, each hour of "Becoming Human" unfolds with a forensic investigation into the life and death of a specific hominid ancestor. Dry bones spring back to vivid life with stunning animation, the product of a unique Nova collaboration between top anthropologists and a talented team of movie animators.
  Part 1: The first hour examines the factors that caused the split from the apes. The film explores the fossil of "Selam," also known as "Lucy's Child" - an amazing, nearly complete child fossil that helps shed light on our ancestors' early development and how we began to depart from that of chimps. Paleoanthropologist Zeray Alemseged, who discovered "Selam," spent 5 years carefully excavating the sandstone-embedded fossil grain by grain. Nova's cameras are there to capture the unveiling of the face, spine and shoulder blades of the oldest known child fossil, 3.3 million years old. And, for the first time, Nova takes viewers "inside the skull" to show how our ancestors' brains had begun to change from those of the apes. duration 56:11   STEREO DVI TVPG

  Warplane [#104]
  Age of Stealth
  The final hour examines the computer age avionics and stealth planes that are all but invisible to the enemy eyes. Over the trenches of World War I, planes had been indispensable. Since that time, developers have worked endlessly to make planes harder to spot and shoot down. The program explores the computer technology and new materials that have not only transformed air combat, but also positioned the world's most advanced air forces for a future where in-cockpit pilots may no longer be necessary. duration 56:46   CC STEREO DVI TVPG

  Frontline [#2605]
  The Medicated Child
  Ten years ago, stimulants like Ritalin and Adderall were the drugs of choice to treat behavioral issues in children. Today children as young as four years old are being prescribed more powerful anti-psychotic medications that are much less understood. The drugs can cause serious side effects, and virtually nothing is known about their long-term impact. The increase in the use of anti-psychotics is directly tied to the rising incidence of one particular diagnosis -bipolar disorder. Experts estimate that the number of kids with the diagnosis is now more than a million and rising. As the debate over medicating children continues to grow, Frontline producer Marcela Gaviria confronts psychiatrists, researchers and big pharma about the risks and benefits of prescription drugs for troubled children. duration 56:26   CC STEREO DVI

  Independent Lens [#1104]

From the Lakota Lands across the Great Plains to the Navajo and Hopi desert lands of the Southwest, this film shows how tribes face fierce opposition in changing the energy habits of traditional fossil fuel dependent utilities and electric cooperatives. duration 56:39   CC STEREO TVPG

  Smart Travels - Europe With Rudy Maxa [#213]
  Europe's Getaways
  A key attraction of travel in Europe is that 30 minutes outside of any city there lurks a getaway, a quiet spot to catch one's breath. In this program, we explore a few such magic places. We begin in peaceful Holland with visits to the windmills and canals of Zaanse Schans and Delft. Then, in the Bavarian Alps, we breathe in pristine Mittenwald and check out the handiwork of a local violinmaker. In Austria, a cruise on the Danube takes us to a spectacular Baroque abbey. Finally, in Tuscany, we go underground to ancient Etruscan tombs beneath the town of Orvieto and sample great wine at Castello Banfi. Tips on how to find one's own hideaway, how to meet locals and how to avoid much tourist hassle. duration 26:46   CC STEREO TVG

  Priscilla's Yoga Stretches [#1]
  The 130 programs are designed to air daily, Monday through Friday. The 15- minute segments are frequently coupled together to fill a 30-minute time slot at the option of local programmers. The first three shows demonstrate and explain three to four new postures or exercises per show. The last two shows serve as review so the viewer has a chance to make certain they followed and understood correctly. In addition, if the viewer missed a show, the Thursday and Friday review days bring them up-to-date. At the onset, the program is strictly teaching the "building blocks" of yoga exercise. As the series progresses, the work becomes more demanding. However, there is an effort to always have a fair balance of some basically simple postures mixed in so that everyone will have an opportunity to participate. duration 13:46   CC

  Mexico - One Plate at a Time with Rick Bayless [#612]
  Tequila Flights and Bites
  Rick's on a mission to tell the world about tequila, and he's starting with a party for 25 at home. But it's not about doing shots and licking salt off your hand. He wants to open people's minds and palates to the complexities of Mexico's smooth, super-premium tequilas made from 100% blue agave-artisanal products on a par with the world's great brandies. So he's planned a tasting with tequila flights and plenty of fun, satisfying food to match. In the town of Tequila, Rick gives us a firsthand look at the production process, from the harvesting and roasting of the agave hearts to fermentation, distilling, and aging. Back in Chicago, he and his daughter, Lanie, get started on what's often called the Mexican party food: a big, bubbling vat of Classic White Pozole, a hearty stew of corn and pork that goes perfectly with the flavor of Tequila. As the Pozole simmers away, Rick and Lanie prepare the rest of the menu: a Help-Yourself Tostada bar with three toppings to welcome the guests, and luscious Chocolate Pecan Pie Bars for dessert. Rick treats his guests to a lively and informative introduction to the essentials of great tequilas. Then everyone gets served a steaming mug of Pozole, topped with all the traditional trimmings, from pork cracklings to homegrown oregano. Put two of Mexico's greatest hits-Tequila and Pozole-together, and you've got a fiesta that really takes flight. duration 26:46   CC STEREO TVG
