VPG-DVD-230 - IRELAND Ireland is one of Europe's most green and mysterious islands and everyone who visits this isolated island in the Atlantic Ocean is given a very warm welcome. Dublin is the capital of the Irish Republic and it is a city of musicians, poets and dreamers, as well as being a financial centre. Its many old buildings indicate its long and dramatic past. It was founded by the Vikings within a wonderful valley where the River Liffey flows into the Atlantic Ocean. South west of Dublin is Kildare, the heart of Ireland's horse racing. In 1902 the Irish national stud, Tully House, was founded there. Rich and eccentric Scottish brewery heir, Colonel William Hall-Walker, had the idea of a creating unique horse breeding scheme that would be based upon astrological calculation. The Wicklow Mountains are a natural paradise of mountains, swamps and lakes, beautiful valleys and a fascinating mountain landscape to the south of Dublin. Jerpoint Abbey near Thomastown dates back to the twelfth century. It is one of the most beautiful Cistercian ruins in Ireland. The Cistercians built the monastery in characteristic style and one of the stone sarcophaguses is said to contain the bones of Holy Nicolas who was buried there by the Crusaders. Although much of it has remained unspoiled, Ireland has undergone much change. It is a land of great natural beauty, healthy commercial success and excellent hospitality: a wild green island set in the wild Atlantic Ocean!

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.

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. Stanwix in Rome.· Tour Rome where digging of the canal began in 1817 and visit the grave of Francis Bellamy, the man who wrote the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag.· Travel the waterway aboard a mule-drawn packet boat at the Erie Canal Village near Rome.· Attend the Oz Fest and meet the Munchkins in Chittenango, home of L. 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!

GTR-DVD-1247 - Set within the Black Hills in the state of South Dakota is one of the most famous landmarks in the U.S.A., the Mount Rushmore National Memorial: four monumental portraits of the most famous American presidents that have been carved into the granite and symbolize a kind of spectacular tribute to democracy.Since their unveiling in 1941 the huge faces of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln have created a good deal of interest. The area around Mount Rushmore is also most striking as the Black Hills' mountain range is a masterpiece of nature.Twenty five kilometres south west of Mount Rushmore another stone image towers up from the landscape, the Crazy Horse Memorial. Created in 1947 it commemorates the famous chief of the Oglala Sioux. Its dimensions are even larger than those of Mount Rushmore and when completed it will be a hundred and ninety five metres long and a hundred and seventy two metres high!But the Mount Rushmore area is far more than just a symbol of American history. It is also steeped in the rich culture and traditions of North America's native Indians.Global Treasures - History's Most Protected Monuments - Heritage is our legacy from the past, what we live today, and what we pass on to future generations. our cultural and natural heritage are both irreplaceable sources of life and inspiration.

It was founded by the Vikings within a wonderful valley where the River Liffey flows into the Atlantic Ocean. After the Vikings, the Normans conquered the city and ruled over it for seven hundred years and under King Henry The Eighth Dublin became the capital of what was then a British colony.
