Unmoderated Tag: Politics Rating: Good Hits: 16 Comments: 0 Stealing America: Vote by Vote Trailer Stealing America: Vote by Vote Trailer The last two presidential elections both came down to a relatively small number of votes, and in both elections the integrity of the voting process has been called into question. STEALING AMERICA: Vote by Vote brings together behind-the-scenes perspectives from the U.S. presidential election of 2004 -- plus startling stories from key races in 1996, 2000, 2002 and 2006. Unbiased and nonpartisan, the film sheds light on a decade of vote counts that don't match votes cast -- uncounted ballots, vote switching, under-votes and many other examples of election totals that warrant serious investigation.

Permanent Tag: Television Rating: Amazing Hits: 31 Comments: 0 Civilisations: The Soul of the Dragon Civilisations: The Soul of the Dragon First of a four part Australian TV series, circa 2001 and RT 51:21. The story begins more than 1,500 years before our current era on the banks of the Hwang Ho (or Yellow River) and the Yang Tse Kiang (or Blue River), whose formidable power has been feared and respected by men through the ages. To control them, the renowned emperor Quinshihuangdi, today regarded as the first man to unify the great land of China, installed highly sophisticated irrigation systems and dissuaded his people from resorting to prayers and rituals in their attempt to combat the rivers' demons. The discovery of Quinshihuangdi's tomb in 1974 revealed that this saviour of a land subjected to the mighty rivers' whim was held in unbounded reverence: 8,000 individually crafted terra cotta warriors stand guard over their king for eternity.

Pete travels through Egypt and the former Roman Empire looking at the evidence of a Christian world very different to the one we know, and finds over seventy gospels, acts, letters, and apocalypses all circulating in the early Church … User: White_Wolf Aug 19, 2008 2:21 AM

Headline Tag: Science Rating: Amazing Hits: 347 Comments: 1 Islands that Changed the World: Galapagos Islands that Changed the World: Galapagos Follow the filmmakers from the Smithsonian Institute on a visual journey through the lush Pacific Ocean paradise that is home to some of the most precious flora and fauna on the planet. Scattered across the equator, this largely unexplored series of volcanic islands is host to a stunning array of endangered species that remain virtually unknown outside of the archipelago. The Galapagos islands are a fascinating microcosm of our planet and home to some of the most astonishing creatures found anywhere on Earth: iguanas swim the sea like dragons, short-eared owls stalk petrels by day and 500 pound giant tortoises bellow over lava fields. One thousand kilometers due west of Ecuador, where four major ocean currents unite, vast undersea volcanoes break the surface of the Pacific Ocean. Early explorers described these otherworldly islands as "Las Encantadas" - "the Enchanted Isles," but in time they became known as "Galapagos," the "Islands of the Tortoises." Using spectacular HiDefinition cinematography from land, sea and air, and blending dramatic landscapes with intimate animal behavior, drama reconstruction and stunning satellite imagery, this ambitious series presents the most complete portrait ever of these fascinating islands. Galapagos reveals how wildlife has found the most enterprising ways to survive on this restless volcanic outpost, why these islands are such a fascinating showcase for evolution, and the profound forces that influence the delicate balance of life. Against a backdrop of smoldering volcanoes, brittle lava fields, fields of giant cactus and wave-pounded shores, witness blue-footed boobies plunge-diving into treacherous waters, sea lions surfing, the beautiful courtship dance of the waved albatross, Darwin's finches as crafty tool-users and hawks hunting marine iguanas.
