Join the Army's top athletes as they battle dozens of extreme challenges -- and each other -- in a grueling, elimination-style athletic tournament. Their bones will break. Their spirits may be crushed. Less than half will even finish. But the promise of yearlong bragging rights -- and an engraved 9mm Beretta for the winning team -- drives them on. This is the ultimate Armed Forces Olympics, the Best Ranger Competition. Part 1 Twenty-three two-man Ranger teams descend on Fort Benning, Georgia for the start of a taxing, three-day competition. As the men prepare for the first day's events -- including marksmanship, a spot jump contest and a PT test -- a passionate crowd of family, friends and fans gathers to cheer them on. And while each man wants to get off to a fast start, the key is to maintain a consistent level of performance throughout the competition's 60 continuous hours. Part 2 It's Day Two, and the original 23 teams have been whittled down to just a dozen. With the conclusion of the grueling, 21-mile road march, the men prove their mental acuity in a series of tactical tests, including weapons assembly, a medical first responder, grenade assault course, stress shoot and the infamous Prusik climb. But each of these pales in comparison to the second day's final event: the land navigation and night orienteering course. Part 3 The final day of competition is here. After the conclusion of the 12-hour land navigation and night orienteering event, the remaining teams take on the sprawling, 26-obstacle Darby Queen course. From there, it's time to make a splash in the water events -- including the helo cast and water confidence test. Finally, the teams put everything they have left into the two-mile buddy run.

Shalom in the Home is a weekly one-hour primetime program that helps families overcome their thorniest problems. The program is hosted by Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, an Oxford-trained theologian and philosopher who's written a dozen-plus books on relationships and families and has counseled thousands of people through difficulties with marriage, parenting, sex and self-worth. Shmuley comes face to face with the most difficult situation of all - helping a widow overcome the grief of her husband's death. Carolyn Morgan had a storybook romance for 10 years, until her husband died in her arms after a car crash on Valentines Day, 2000. For the past 6 years, Carolyn has struggled to put Chad's tragic death behind her, and for 6 years she has fallen into deep depressions in the months leading up to Valentines Day. Shmuley first helps Carolyn face the painful legacy that her struggle with grief is creating for her two daughters. In one agonizing scene, Carolyn and Shmuley watch videotape of Carolyn forcing her kids to look at old pictures and videos of their dad against their will. Next, Shmuley and Carolyn go back to the scene of the accident to help her confront her demons. In the shows most powerful moment, Carolyn buries the blood-soaked sweater she wore on the night her husband died. We revisit Carolyn two months later - her kids are happy again, and for the first time in 6 years Carolyn is dating a man and in love for the first time since Valentine's Day, 2000.This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media.
