		<content:encoded><![CDATA[A lively collection of true tales that illuminate and celebrate lesbian parenting from the nonbiological mother`s perspective.After author Harlyn Aizley gave birth to her daughter, she watched in unanticipated horror as her partner scooped up the baby and said, I`m your new mommy! While they both had worked to find the perfect sperm donor, Aizley had spent nine months carrying the baby and hours in labor, so how could her partner claim to be their child`s mommy? Many diapers later, Aizley began to appreciate the complexity of her partner`s new role as the other mother. Together, they searched for stories about families like their own, in which a woman has chosen to forgo her own birth experience so that she might support her partner in hers. They found very few. Now, in Confessions of the Other Mother, Aizley has put together an exciting collection of personal stories by women like her partner who are creating new parenting roles, redefining motherhood, and reshaping our view of two-parent families. Contributors include Hillary Goodridge, who was one of the lead plaintiffs in the case for same-sex marriage in Massachusetts, stand-up comedian Judy Gold, and psychologist and author Suzanne M. Johnson.This candid peek into a previously unexamined side of lesbian parenting is full of stories that are sometimes humorous, sometimes moving, but at all times celebratory. Each parenting tale sheds light on the many facets of motherhood, offering gay and straight readers alike a deeper understanding of what it means to love and parent in the twenty-first century.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[BE GOOD, SMILE PRETTY is the emotionally powerful document of one daughter's journey to discover the father she never knew. Director Tracy Droz Tragos was just three months old when her father died in the Vietnam War. Thirty years later, she sets out on a cross-country odyssey to find out more about Lt. Don Droz, travelling from California to the U.S. Senate and all places in between in search of her father's old war buddies (including fellow swift-boat commander Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts). Through compelling interviews with these men, as well as family photographs, letters, home movies, and audiotapes, Tracy is finally able to know her father as more than just a soldier or a shadowy photograph on the wall. By uncovering both the painful details of her father's death and the very qualities that made him human, Tracy allows herself and her family to understand, grieve, and cope with a painful loss that is shared by an estimated 20,000 veteran families in the U.S.  DVD Features:  Region 1  Keep Case  Audio:   Dolby Digital Stereo - English  Additional Release Material:   Extended Interviews  Interactive Features:   Scene Access   Interactive Menus  Text/Photo Galleries:   Stills/Photos   Biographies - 1.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[A CRIMINAL AND AN IRISHMAN is an incomparable account of Pat Nee`s life as an Irish immigrant and Southie son, a Marine, a convicted IRA gun smuggler, and a former top associate of Whitey Bulger`s. His narrative transports the reader into the criminal underworld, inside the planning and preparation for an armored car heist, inside gang wars and revenge killings. Pat Nee details his evolution from tough street kid to armed robber to dangerous potential killer. He discloses for the first time how he used his underworld connections and know-how as a passionate and effective IRA operative. For years law enforcement and the media have speculated about important events with Pat Nee near or at their center: the Mullen-Killeen gang war for control of South Boston, the Valhalla smuggling operation (seven tons of heavy weapons aboard a fishing boat from Gloucester, Massachusetts, bound for Ireland), the murder of John McIntyre, and many other episodes. Pat Nees stories are sometimes dark and brutal, but they shed light on the world in which we live, and are stories that only he can tell.  Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.  For personal use only.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[On the eve of the 400th anniversary of the founding of the Jamestown colony, this authoritative history argues that Jamestown-not Plymouth-was the true birthplace of the American experience  Jamestown -the first permanent English settlement in North America, after the disappearance of the Roanoke colony-is often given short shrift in histories of America. Founded thirteen years before the Mayflower landed, Jamestown occupies less space in our cultural memory than the Pilgrims of Plymouth. But as historian James Horn points out, many of the key tensions of Jamestown's early years became central to American history, for good and for ill: Jamestown introduced slavery into English-speaking North America; it became the first of England's colonies to adopt a representative government; and, it was the site of the first clashes between whites and Indians over territorial expansion. Jamestown began the tenuous, often violent, mingling of different peoples that came to embody the American experience.  A Land as God Made It   puts the Jamestown experience in the context of European geopolitics, giving prominence to the Spanish threat to extinguish the colony at the earliest opportunity. Jamestown-unlike Plymouth or Massachusetts-was England's bid to establish an empire to challenge the Spanish. With unparalleled knowledge of Jamestown's role in early American history, James Horn has written the definitive account of the colony that gave rise to America.  Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[The findings of the Framingham Heart Study&#8211;begun in 1948&#8211;have been nothing short of revolutionary. Over the years, they have provided conclusive evidence that cardiovascular disease is largely the result of measurable and modifiable risk factors, and that individuals can gain control over their heart health by looking carefully at their diet and lifestyle and changing their intake of saturated fat, cholesterol, and tobacco smoke; losing weight or becoming physically active; and regulating their levels of stress and blood pressure. It is principally because of the Heart Study that this understanding of what was once deemed a&#8220;silent killer&#8221; today seems intuitive.  The Framingham Heart Study was launched not long after Franklin Delano Roosevelt succumbed to a massive stroke, the result of runaway blood pressure, at a time when cardiologists in the United States numbered fewer than 400 and heart disease was the nation&#8217;s number- one cause of death. The study asked 5,209 citizens of Framingham, Massachusetts&#8211;who overate, smoked, and suffered heart attacks and strokes to the same extent as the rest of the United States&#8211;to undergo biennial physicals, blood tests, and detailed interviews concerning their behavior. The results changed the course of medical history.  Written by the Study&#8217;s current director and a national health reporter,  A Change of Heart   is the first account of this heroic cooperation between the U.S. Public Health Service and the people of Framingham. It is a fascinating, clear-eyed assessment of the achievements and challenges of the Framingham Heart Study to date, and of its continuing importance.  Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[Set against the vivid backdrop of the Civil War, this is a timeless tale of friends and enemies, anguish and adventure. Dear Private John Meadows: My name is Joshua Loring.... My pa got killed at Fredericksburg so I don't much like Rebs. I'm joining the army as soon as I can.... I just hope the war doesn't end before I get my chance. And so begins the life-changing relationship between Joshua, a twelve-year-old from Massachusetts, and his unlikely pen pal, a lonely fourteen-year-old Confederate soldier imprisoned on George's Island. Joshua sends the letter at his uncle's request, although he's sure there isn't a Reb in the world he'd like. The events that follow force Joshua to confront his deepest feelings about the enemy and lead to the greatest adventure of his life.  Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.  For personal use only.
