Academy Award-nominated "Legacy" is the unflinching chronicle of one family's triumphant journey out of poverty and despair. Touchingly narrated by Nickcole Collins, a teenage girl wise beyond her years, the film follows the Collins family over five years as they slowly pull themselves out of a haze of poverty, drug addiction and violence that plagues their public housing project in Chicago. Stereotype-busting and open-minded, "Legacy" paints the American Dream in honest colors to rousing effect. Improbably, the senseless killing of 14-year-old Terrell, a straight-A student and role model for the neighborhood, spurs the family to seek a better life against impossible odds. Nickcole's mother, a high school dropout, moves in fits and starts to find a meaningful job. Aunt Wanda, mother of Terrell and longtime crack addict, enrolls herself in a drug treatment program. Nickcole catapults herself out of the inner-city trap to a college degree and comfortable life. It's impossible not to cheer for these incredible real-life people as they cry and laugh, stumble and get back up again on their way to something better. In "Legacy," Award-winning filmmaker Tod Lending does the rarest of things - he gives voice to the voiceless. The result is a stirring, must-see film that is "inspirational in the best sense of the term." (Variety). Interactive Menus, Scene Selection.

Amid the current debate over biotechnology and gene splicing, plant breeding has somehow gotten a bad name. Yet not all plant breeders wear lab coats and carry test tubes. Indigenous farmers have been saving seeds and improving their food plants for thousands of years. In other words, you don't need a college degree to develop new, unique, and often superior vegetables right in your backyard garden. You also don't need fancy, expensive equipment or a lot of space.First published in 1993, Carol Deppe's Breed Your Own Vegetable Varieties is even more relevant and important today. Completely revised and expanded, this new edition contains much more material on seed saving for the backyard gardener and small-scale commercial grower. The author also provides unique and crucial information from her own experience and research, including: -- how to develop new and unusual crops, and how to breed for a wide range of different traits (flavor; earliness; high yield; size, shape, and color; cold or heat tolerance; disease resistance; and regional adaptation); -- how many plants you need to grow for seed from each crop to ensure good genetic diversity; -- how to conduct your own variety trials and farm- or garden-based plant research; and-- how to develop plants for a sustainable future, with an emphasis on organic growing methods.As comprehensive and invaluable as it is as a home reference, Breed Your Own Vegetable Varieties is also quite readable for the layperson who is interested in plant and gardening. Throughout the book, the author relates stories of amateur plant breeders, real people who are helping to ensure that our rich garden heritage will be available, and evenimproved, for our children and grandchildren to enjoy.While suited to all climates, gardeners in the Pacific Northwest will find the growing information especially useful. - 18.75

Higher education will never by the same, as Goofy goes to college in this animated comedy. Max (Jason Marsden) is a top-ranked skateboarder who is just starting college, but he has one little problem -- his father Goofy (Bill Farmer), who is a walking disaster and a frequent source of embarrassment. Max figures that he'll be able to impress the girls at the University with Dad a safe distance away, but when Goofy loses his job, he learns that his best bet for launching a new career is to complete his college degree, and soon Max and Goofy are now classmates. Goofy puts a serious cramp in Max's hipness quotient with his non-ironic enthusiasm for disco music and late-'70s fashions, and Max, in training for the X Games, tries to keep his dad at arm's length. Goofy has enough to keep himself busy between his schoolwork and his romance with similarly clueless librarian, Sylvia (Bebe Neuwirth), but in time, Goofy and Max realize that it's better to get along than to stay away from each other. An Extremely Goofy Movie was the direct-to-video sequel to the 1995 theatrical success A Goofy Movie. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide - 16.96

Joseph Manzare, who grew up in the Bronx, NY, started out in the restaurant business at age 14. By 17, he was telling people he was getting ready to open his own place. A college degree in business intervened, but he soon returned to the kitchen. After 18 months in the kitchen at the Hilton in New York, he moved to Los Angeles to apprentice with Jean-Francois Mettigner at L'Orangerie. Manzare spent all his spare time working for free at Spago, where he came to the attention of Wolfgang Puck, who brought him on full-time. After two years at Spago, he traveled to Italy and spent ten months working at San Domenica in Imola. Returning to the States, he again joined with Wolfgang Puck to be opening Sous Chef at Postrio in San Francisco. Soon, he was offered the position of Executive Chef at 44 at the Royalton in New York, where he was nominated for a James Beard Award. He was Chef at Granita in Malibu when he decided the time had come to launch his own restaurant. Along with his wife and partner, Mary Klingbeil, Manzare opened Globe in San Francisco, where he fashions soul satisfying food he calls American with an Italian spirit out of the incomparable bounty of the Bay Area. This was followed by the opening of Globe Venice Beach in 2000 to rave reviews. Now, with Zuppa, Manzare brings to San Francisco his love of Italian cuisine. As with his other restaurants, at Zuppa the focus will be on fresh, organically raised produce as well as naturally and humanely raised meats and poultry. - 10.00
