Antlerz are cut from 100% naturally shed deer antlers. Deer shed their antlers once a year. Ranch workers gather these shed antlers. They are then cut to the appropriate size, cleaned and then packaged. Antlerz do not splinter and hold up longer than most traditional chews. They have a high concentration of calcium and phosphorus, with trace amounts of iron, zinc and sodium. They do not come from any meat processing facility or slaughter house. |

This film documents the construction of The Distant Early Warning Line (DEW Line) during the Cold War with the Soviet Union. The DEW Line was a joint venture by the United States and Canadian governments designed to give early warning in the case of a nuclear attack. A variety of radars and Doppler antennas including the AN/FPS-19, AN/FRC-45, AN/FRC-101 were constructed. The DEW Line was strategically placed along the 70th parallel near the artic circle. Table Of Contents: (1) The DEW Line Story (1960s) - This documentary explores the planning, design and construction of The Distant Early Warning Line (DEW Line). The cold war era "next generation" defense system is discussed at length including political, military, scientific and national defense benefits. At a cost of 346 million dollars, over 450,000 tons of parts and materials, and 75 million gallons of fuel had to be flown and shipped to the upper reaches of the earth to enable the construction of this futuristic undertaking. The film also highlights the work and lives of the brave men who ventured to the artic circle to build these massive radars, in bitter cold, to preserve the security of North America - 27 Minutes |

It is, according to the federal government, one of the most dangerous jobs in the world. On average, 70 high-tower workers die every year. Their job is to fix the antenna at the summit of New York's most famous landmark's like the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building. They're nearly 1500 feet off the ground. It's more than a quarter of a mile straight down. ABC News profiles Tom Silliman who has been working as a high-tower worker for 32 of his 56 years. But he seems an unlikely candidate. This is where he lives, Neuburg, Indiana, where the tallest building in town is just two stories. With his two engineering degrees from Cornell, Silliman set out to follow in his father's footsteps, designing and building TV antennas. But as fate would have it, one of his tower workers fell one day and hurt his back, so Tom Silliman, the designer, was pressed into action. And more than three decades later, the love hasn't waned. Silliman is now one of the best known skyscraper tower and antenna repairman in the world. He's climbed Boston's Prudential Center, Chicago's Hancock Building, and the Tower of America in Texas. ABC News interviews Silliman from the top of the Empire State Building. Not the top the tourists visit, but the real top.

Garmin's nüvi 255 improves upon its 200-series predecessors by adding top-of-the-line features such as FM traffic updates or MSN Direct content to an entry-level line. But Garmin is also introducing some significant improvements with this new series, like a predictive technology that provides faster satellite lock, a redesigned screen with more information, terrain maps, and an exciting new photo navigation feature. The 255 adds complete maps for North America and Text-to-Speech, so you get turn by turn spoken directions with the real names of streets (e.g. "turn left in 50 feet at Nebraska Way", rather than merely "turn left in 50 feet").

| One of Garmin's key product philosophies is to make extremely complex technology easy to use for anyone right out of the box, and perhaps nowhere is that better exemplified than in the user interface for Garmin's portable navigation devices. Garmin's interface is a key to their success part of what makes their devices such a pleasure to use. Simple controls and sub-screens make it easy to enter or search for destinations and get data about your trip. Simply touch the color screen to enter a destination, and nüvi takes you there with turn-by-turn voice directions, 2-D or 3-D maps and smooth map updates as you navigate. This year, Garmin has redesigned its interface to include much more useful information. | |

New -- HotFix - aka: Satellite Ephemeris Data Prediction
![]() | Your GPS device locks onto transmissions from a dedicated network of Satellites in order to determine its position. Until the device gets a "lock" on three satellites, it can't effectively navigate, so decreasing the time it takes for your device to get "satellite lock" is always a goal of GPS manufacturers. With Garmin's new HotFix technology, your Garmin GPS remembers the position of all satellites it is tracking when you turn it off, and calculates their movements in order to predict where they should be the next time you turn it on. This gives the device an idea of where it should look for satellites, and dramatically decreases the time it takes for your Garmin to get its position and start navigating. HotFix can predict satellite positions for up to 3 days after the device was last turned off. Using Garmin's unique Web site Garmin Connect Photos users can choose from millions of geo-located photos provided by Google's Panoramio photo sharing community and download them to the nüvi for a richer navigation experience using pictures as a guide. | ||||

Canada's Godspeed You Black Emperor raise the ante on their already ambitious orchestral rock by releasing a double CD of material as their second full-length album. The group combines the drums and guitar of typical rock-band instrumentation with horns and strings to create a music built around drones and slowly evolving melodic figures. It rises and falls from delicate introductory passages to unabashed grand climaxes. Their juxtaposition of drums with violins and lush romantic tonality brings to mind Rachel's, but their compositional scale and the pounding repetitive intensity of their dynamic peaks evoke Glenn Branca's The Ascension. Although the two discs are indexed at only two 21-minute tracks each, the package includes a handy road map to the movements into which each is subdivided. The opening piece starts with five minutes of a 15-beat circular melodic pattern that is gradually embellished as the volume swells to an ecstatic roar. The release drops down to a pastoral drone that rebuilds to support an acid-etched guitar solo, which in turn yields to a unified 4/4 kraut rock pound that eventually explodes, leaving behind field recordings of public announcements mingled with wandering late-night Swell Maps piano. The other pieces use a similar set of sonic building blocks to take the listener on comparable journeys. Fans of Godspeed's previous work will be very happy, and the curious might want to hop on board as well. --Bob Bannister
"Simple, addictive. Pure California Music." -- Oakland Tribune "Nice, melodic, free-flowing progressive pop. The Botticellis are a California-based quintet whose music recalls 1960s pop but is flavored and threaded with twenty-first century sounds and ideas." -- BabySue "Look for the Big Star influence ... airtight hooks and dark, cheeky lyrics." -- Noise Pop The Botticellis have an obsession with pop music, melodic songwriting, and the cinematic sounds of yesteryear, but they're not lost in some oldies Neverland. On Old Home Movies, the quintet gives us ten luminous snapshots of sun-bleached memories. The vision is uniquely Californian, and while their music basks in the warmth of the Golden State as personified by the Beach Boys, it's also steeped in the shadows and queasy uncertainty of Raymond Chandler. The band produced the album with the help of Anton Patzner (Bright Eyes who plays violin on "Who Are You Now"; Matt Cunitz, whose museum of vintage keyboards colors the music; and Jason Quever (Papercuts), who plays drums on "Flashlight" and helped capture the band's balmy sound on analog tape. Old Home Movies promises to bring burnished, finely crafted pop to the people, filling their heads with vibrant memories and California daydreams.
