7DY-DVD-142 - Situated on the Arabian Peninsula between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, the United Arab Emirates is a fairy-tale of the One Thousand And One Nights. In just a relatively few years the region has been catapulted from the Middle Ages intothe 21st century and it is now an international financial centre within an ancient desert region.  It contains seven sheikdoms that are united both politically and economically.  Dubai is a wonderful holiday paradise with a romantic desert and a long history in which the past unites with the present.  Dubai is the second largest state in the United Arab Emirates and is situated on the north coast of the Arabian Peninsula. Fifteen kilometres from Dubai is the tiny Emirate of Sharjah where life continues according to age-old Arabian tradition.  Tourism was once popular on this former pirate coast but the Saudi king subsequently prohibited the consumption of alcohol and thus the tourists stayed away.  On the western side of the Hajar Mountains an oasis village developed that contains more than two hundred springs and wells.  The oasis was once frequently occupied by Saudi Arabia but in 1974 the International Court Of Justice in the Hague ruled against the Saudi occupation.  Today, Oman and the United Arab Emirates share the nine oasis villages of the Buraimi Oasis and live together in peace. Abu Dhabi is the largest of the seven Emirates and means, Father Of The Gazelle, a name derived from an ancient legend. The seventy three thousand square kilometres of the Abu Dhabi region cover eighty-six per cent of the United Arab Emirates and in the 1960's the city had a population of five thousand that has now grown to almost a million.  As the oil supplies gradually trickle away the sheiks are becoming increasingly cautious with their spending and the oil boom has now been followed by tourism in this fairy-tale holiday paradise that is full of desert romance.

WTF-DVD-ERIE - "The Erie Canal"... a ditch that opened the nation!    Filmed and produced by Fran & Brooke Reidelberger  Scripted and narrated by Fran Reidelberger   Thomas Jefferson called plans to build it "little short of madness".  James Madison said it was "impractical at best".            "It" is the Erie Canal in New York State: An engineering marvel in 1825, an economic juggernaut throughout the 19th Century, an increasingly popular recreational delight today. In this all new digital video production, filmmakers Fran and Brooke Reidelberger travel the canal system from Albany to Buffalo, sailing in the wake of history, enjoying the tranquil beauty, attending the festivals, visiting the old canal towns, and wondering what our country would be like if the canal had never been built.  Aboard "Chicane", a 65 foot power boat, you will experience the canal and:·  Take a whirlwind tour of Albany, New York state's bustling capital city. Visit "Uncle Sam's" grave and our nation's first school of engineering in Troy.·  "Climb" the Waterford Five, the world's highest series of high lift locks.  The lift is 169 feet.·  Explore the Herkimer "diamond mine" and find your own 500 million-year-old crystals with a diamond-like shape and sparkle.·  Sample real beer and root beer at F.X. Matt Brewery, New York's oldest, in Utica.·  Watch and listen as school children about American Revolutionary War history at Ft.

Frank Baum, the man who wrote the "Wizard of Oz" stories.·  Enjoy a weekend of summer fun at Sylvan Beach on Oneida Lake, part of today's Erie Canal.·  Learn how the canal helped make Syracuse one of the world's premier salt producing centers.  -- Take a dinner cruise and meet a "star-in-the-making" at Baldwinsville.

It's listed in "Ripley's Believe It Or Not" 16 times! ·  Tour Rochester, home to Eastman Kodak, Xerox, Bausch & Lomb and a host of educational and cultural attractions, including Eastman House and the Strong Museum. ·  See the church that George Pullman (of Pullman railroad car fame) built in honor of his parents in Albion. ·  Watch and listen as canal artist Arthur Barnes interprets canal life onto canvas in Medina.·  Visit Lockport, site of the most difficult engineering and construction job on the Erie Canal.  Lockport is also the birthplace of volleyball and the fire hydrant.·  Experience Buffalo to learn about the city's personal connection with four U.S. presidents and the story behind "Buffalo Wings".·  Admire the spirit and laugh with the wild and wacky "boat builders" who race for glory in the annual Tonawanda Canal Fest.    ·  Along the way see an "upside down" bridge, a sloping lift bridge, a floating dam, and more!

WTF-DVD-BRIT - "Britain's Gentle Highway"... a canal adventure in England, Scotland & Wales Filmed and produced by Fran & Brooke ReidelbergerScripted and narrated by Fran Reidelberger           Started in the mid-1700s, they served as the internal transportation system for Great Britain's "Industrial Revolution".  By the early 19th Century, they crisscrossed Britain covering more than 5,000 miles through major cities and rural hamlets.  "They", in this case, are the canals of England, Scotland and Wales.  Abandoned by industry today, the canals have become a playground for holiday boaters as well as "home" for many retirees who live year round on their floating homes.  In re-visiting and re-filming this unusual and colorful part of Britain, film producers Fran and Brooke Reidelberger hire an old-fashioned canal boat to travel in the wake of history, discover modern engineering marvels, and enjoy the timeless British countryside.              ·  Start at Beeston Castle Wharf in Northwest England at a canal boatyard built in 1775, a year before the birth of the United States.  Charles Hardern and family run a small fleet of rental boats and a substantial boat repair facility, both highly regarded.            ·   Climb a flight of four locks at Hurlston -- operating the locks yourself -- and learn about a major water supply for the canal system.            ·  Meet Robert Brown, a retired school teacher who spends his retirement years painting canal scenes.            ·  Visit the Cadbury Company in the Welsh town of Chirk to watch cocoa beans turned into chocolate delicacies.            ·  Cross the Pontcysllte Aqueduct, 1,000 feet long and 126 feet    above the Welsh River Dee.            ·  Travel under lift bridges and through a one-lane tunnel -- with no lights!            ·  Attend the International Music Festival in Lllangollen, Wales.            ·  Tour the ancient walled city of Chester with classic half-timbered buildings, Roman history, and modern shops.            ·  Enjoy wildlife and wild flowers during a misty morning along the Shropshire Union Canal.·  Ride and learn about the Anderton Lift, a mechanical monster first built by the Victorians to move boats 50 feet up and down between the Weaver River and the Trent and Mersey Canal.  The lift was altered over time, abandoned in the late 20th Century, and only recently rebuilt and re-opened as an aide for recreational boaters.·  Watch talented, modern day craftsmen at Stoke-on-Trent as they use Josiah Wedgwood's priceless formulas to produce elegant pieces of pottery that we call "Wedgwood" today.  ·  Discover a "secret" bunker near Nantwich.  The 35,000 square foot underground facility was designed as a center for regional government in case of nuclear attack in the 1950s.  It was recently declassified and opened to the public for tours.

VPG-DVD-161 - SAN DIEGO For some, San Diego - a coastal city with a wonderful climate - is California's southernmost city, for others it is the northernmost city in Mexico. It is not quite as predictable as other US metropolises and even the skyline promises something different. Palm trees, colourful flowerbeds and wonderful sandy beaches are typical of Southern California and are an open invitation to surfing and relaxation. The exclusivity of the beaches exudes an aura of luxurious living and the grand houses of the Coronado district are among the city's most prestigious. The long distance trains that travel through Amtrak Station connect San Diego with many other Californian cities and also with the bordering city of Santa Fe. The red tram, known as the San Diego Trolley, leaves from here and travels south to the Mexican border. Everywhere there are blossoming flowers and spouting fountains and the magnificence of this colourful garden city makes it easy to forget the arid terrain of the nearby desert. There's also Balboa Park, the San Diego Zoo and Sea World. With its many attractions and close proximity to Mexico, San Diego is an unforgettable city that's a very special kind of tourist metropolis!

TMT-DVD-104 - POMPEII On August 24th in 79 A.D. a massive volcanic eruption destroyed the Roman city of Pompeii when millions of tons of lava instantly petrified the bodies of 2000 of its inhabitants. Pompeii is the incarnation of a civilization that was destroyed by this natural disaster. Some of its underground corridors were accidentally discovered in 1594 but serious scientific excavation did not begin until the 18th century. Even today, more than one third of the city remains concealed beneath volcanic rock. Because of the airtight conditions beneath the lava, Pompeii is the most well preserved ancient city in the world with perfectly preserved streets and buildings that provide detailed information of the former living conditions, trade, commerce and art of Roman times. The lively city attempted to compete with Rome and offered its visitors and guests abundant luxury and diverse entertainments and the interiors of the buildings with their magnificent reliefs indicate the wealth and high living standards of Pompeii's elite.
