About this product: This print of the Carina Nebula is a 50-light-year-wide view of the central region where a maelstrom of star birth - and death - is taking place. The immense nebula contains at least a dozen brilliant stars that are roughly estimated to be at least 50 to 100 times the mass of our Sun. The most unique and opulent inhabitant is the star Eta Carinae, at far left. Eta Carinae is in the final stages of its brief and eruptive lifespan, as evidenced by two billowing lobes of gas and dust that presage its upcoming explosion as a titanic supernova.

About this product: Tamara s Yoga Fusion is not your typical yoga dvd. This 90 minute instructional vinyasa style yoga DVD is a powerful and original yoga practice suited for all levels. Tamara Schreyer, M.A., CYT, from San Diego teaches a creative blend of Power yoga, Ashtanga yoga, and Vinyasa Flow yoga all accompanied by an inspiring array of contemporary music by up-and-coming artists. Tamara s guided practice focuses on the importance of moving with your breath and proper alignment throughout the entire practice.
This DVD is unique for several reasons. The music is not traditional yoga music. The soundtrack features acoustic guitar and piano played by up-and-coming artists from San Diego and Ireland. The DVD has the look and feel of something more surreal, dreamlike or a Cirque Du Soleil quality to it; however it is instructional and easy to follow. Tamara s voice is soothing and easy to understand even with the more detailed postures.
The DVD has a menu to choose from (stand-alone chapters) if the viewer does not want to do the entire practice, they have the choice to start the class at any point. The menu is broken down as follows.
1.Introduction A creative and personal look at yoga teacher Tamara Schreyer in her element. 2.Sun Salutations A & B 3.Standing and Balancing Postures 4.Seated Postures 5.Backbend Sequence 6.Closing Sequence 7.Guided Shavasana
About this product: With over four years of continuous performing around the Midwest, multiple successful national tours under their belts, and five independent releases, Troubled Hubble are doing it themselves. Hailing from the small town of Elburn, IL, the band cut their teeth at Chicago venues like the Metro, Double Door, and Fireside Bowl. Drawing inspiration from bands such as Built To Spill, Modest Mouse, and Dismemberment Plan, Troubled Hubble has a melodic, pop-rock sound that's powerful and arresting as comfortably as it is playful and disarming. In Music We Trust said of the band's last album, "The songs have that punch, a hard-hitting punk-esque feel to it (courtesy of the rhythm section, most notably the drums), while maintaining a knack for budding hooks." Punknews.org wrote, "Their live show and their music are incredibly fun, even while tackling tricky subjects; they are optimistic about it all. Yet they are not MTV happy-pappy-punk, they maintain the indie edge and originality. The guitars are not heavily distorted, the remain angular and at times intricate, the bass parts are some of the most creative I've heard." Their Lookout Records debut album "Making Beds In A Burning House" was produced by Dismemberment Plan guitarist Jason Caddell and mixed by Jason Carmer (The Donnas, The Explosion).

About this product: We all hated science in school, right? Science was boring. Science was for nerds. Science was dry and dusty facts about rocks and larvae and the solar corona, which sounds kind of like a beer from the tropics.
Well, Virginia, science doesn't have to be dull, and this series is proof. "A Science Odyssey" is a superb, fascinating set of documentaries on the science *and* the humanity behind the science. It's all extremely literate, doesn't dumb-down its subject one bit, and is chock full of interesting scientists who are enthusiastic about their fields of endeavor. Yet this is science your grandmother could understand. These shows strike the perfect balance between being substantive and being accessible to the lay person.
"A Science Odyssey" ran on PBS late in 1999, and dealt with scientific learning through the 20th century, each episode starting in an appropriate 1900 location for that show's theme and ending in its modern counterpart. Rather than just deal with one narrow topic for two hours, each episode has a broad conceptual theme, and shows connections between each that are often not readily apparent: for example, "Origins" deals with, well, origins, of all sorts of things: life, continental drift, DNA, intelligence. "Bigger Better Faster" deals with everything that got bigger, better and faster in the 20th century: cars, planes, spaceships, computers, and synthetics (which are often better or at least less expensive than their natural counterparts). "Matters of Life And Death" give us a survey of advances of medicines and treatments. The shows are chock full of fascinating anecdotes: we learn about the unlikely invention of nylon, for example, something rarely discussed today, and learn about the bi-polar mind of the man who invented it, who shortly thereafter committed suicide in a fit of depression. We learn about how plate tectonics went from a screwball theory on the radical fringe to an accepted scientific explanation for earthquakes and continental formation, and how deep-sea exploration inadvertently provided the missing piece to the puzzle.
Charles Osgood hosts, and fortunately does not talk in rhyme here. The scripts are extremely well-written, the "theatrics" are kept to a minimum and the historical footage is fascinating. It all moves very quickly, appropriate for this television sound-bite age, but you come away smarter after each one. This should not be out of print. In fact, it should be on DVD, but I'm not holding my breath. These shows were made for the millenium, and are probably considered too "dated" to be of interest today.
(P.S. 10/20/05: I'm happy to report I was wrong about my prediction--PBS has finally put these on DVD! [It's about time. What's the matter, PBS, did you run out of cooking videos and Andre Rieu?] WARNING: do not try to buy these DVDs separately, even from people who claim to have the episode "Origins" in stock. For some reason I could not individually order that one title from anyone, even those who claimed to be able to ship it in 1-2 days. Distributors are currently out of this episode--even PBS itself has no more copies. I finally had to, after ordering the other four episodes separately, order the entire box and sell off the redundant DVDs in the set, all to get "Origins" on DVD. Worth it, but a pain.
Also, a note if you do get these on DVD: For some unimaginable reason [other than stupidity], if you choose "Play" from the menu, THE DISCS DO NOT START AT THE BEGINNING. They start either after the Prologue, or after the Prologue and Introduction depending on the disk. You thus miss the whole "set up" of each episode, the central question or issue. So instead of pressing "Play" in the root menu, go into the chapter selections and start with the first chapter, "Prologue.")
