"There are three things in life that get better with age - wine, women and cheese." - Author Unknown.
Oxygen Acres is a farmstead cheese-making company engaged in making artisanal cheeses. We take pride in producing the best quality cheeses using fresh ingredients. The idea of making artisanal cheeses evolved from our passion for great food, love of agriculture and interest in agrarian traditions. Cheese making is the most definitive way of connecting with our dairy livestock and captivating the uniqueness of our milk source.
With large multi-national companies getting involved in mass production of cheese, the art of cheese making activity has been reduced to a mere science and long production lines. At Oxygen Acres making cheese is more of an art than science. Our cheeses are produced making the best use of dairy science knowledge available and yet preserved it as an art by producing hand-made cheeses in small batches.
Let's say "No" to protein deficiency among vegetarians. Oxygen Acres cheeses are packed with high quality protein and the non-fat variants are minus the fat and cholesterol. Our desire is to introduce wide variety of cheeses that suits well with the Indian pallet and indulge our customers. We hope that you will join us in this wonderful culinary journey and support us.
What makes Happy Cheese unique?
Our cheeses are hygienically produced using the freshest ingredients available from our farm. Immediately after the evening milking, the milk is converted into cheese and ripened for six to eight hours before it's ready for delivery. Absence of artificial additives makes it healthier and your dishes tastier.
Clean, healthy skin reflects the happy and healthy you. Why use chemicals to cleanse your body and damage it in the long run? Oxygen Acres is introducing Naked Soap, soaps that are sure to leave your skin healthy, glowing, soft and supple.
For the time being, Naked Soap is available exclusively for Happy Milk customers and Farm Tour visitors. For Happy Milk customers, it will be delivered right to your door step along with your milk.
Nature never intended for thousands of hens to be crammed in tiny sheds, fed with high dozes of antibiotics, a chemically infused diet and expect them to grow or lay eggs in a certain way in a fixed number of days. High demand for eggs coupled with human greed has led to the inhumane treatment of these beautiful creatures. Nature intended for these birds to run around, scratch the ground and grow on grain diet.
At Oxygen Acres we follow the nature's way. We raise our limited number of birds from day old chicks in cage-free barns and allow them to roam around freely. They are fed with a pure grain diet of organically grown rice, raagi, wheat and corn. We ensure that hygiene is maintained for their healthy development so that use of antibiotics is not essential.
Once our hens reach egg-laying maturity, they are provided roosting areas and nests to lay eggs. Eggs are gathered each morning, washed and packed in re-usable egg baskets and delivered to our customers on the same day. How about that for farm fresh eggs? And it can't get any fresher.
Disclaimer: Oxygen Acres is raising hens for egg laying purposes only. They are not intended to be used for meat. Once our birds complete their egg-laying days, they will retire and roam freely in a separate spacious area until they meet their natural end.

Introducing Fitness For Life (FFL) with Oxygen Acres, a program that promotes healthy life style by incorporating optimum quantities of protein, calcium and essential minerals in your diet combined with moderate exercise on a daily basis.
Milk is the best energy boosting drink fortified with all the goodness we need for a healthy lifestyle. But milk also consists of fat and lactose (sugar) that leads to weight gain. Some find it difficult to digest lactose, a condition usually referred to as Lactose Intolerance.

I found this on Odditycentral.com an article about a 35-year-old Chinese artist that has taken to making himself invisible in his artwork. The photographs more of which can be seen at the Odditycentral.com site, are pretty amazing. It is reported that the artist can spend up to 10 hours to make sure that each photograph makes him,well perfectly, invisible.
He stated that his artwork is a form of protest to the actions of the Chinese government is shutting down his art studio. He claimed it is his representation of not fitting in. Amazing stuff.

SEO: Why is My Business Not Showing Up on Google?
Franchise owners and small business owners who search the name of their brand on Google may be discouraged by the results. A client emailed me a couple of weeks ago in a panic because when he searched with the brand name of his franchise, his business did not appear as a local result within the first few organic listings nor on Google's mapped image. In fact, quite the opposite occurred – the other business under the same franchise appeared as the only result. How could this be?
LOCAL SEO | Evidence that Google Results are Not Including all Local Business Locations
There are multiple reasons why your business may not be showing up as a result when entering a single branded keyword. The location and device that your search originated from is the most likely culprit. In my client's case, he was performing a single branded keyword search from his home computer, which just so happened to be located within a mile of his competitor's business. To prove that the location of your device can affect search results, I replicated this scenario from my home computer. As you will see below, if I search with the branded keywords, "Better Bodies," which is the brand name of local gyms in my area, only one out of three Better Bodies' gyms shows up as a result.

The legend lives on
Just follow the people carrying guitars and you'll end up in Nashville, Tennessee. There's a lot more to listen to in this southern U.S. town than old country songs. We pay a visit to Music City
The parking lot is large and sparsely lit, but still about a hundred people have gathered here, in front of a row of unremarkable store fronts, waiting to get in. The atmosphere is charged. Everyone knows there's a fantastic evening ahead because right here, between the hairdresser, the laundromat and the children's clothing store, the legendary Bluebird Cafe will soon reverberate to the authentic Nashville sound. A small club with 1980s bistro charm, the Bluebird is famous as a venue for songwriters; many write songs that make others famous and some have even composed for Jerry Lee Lewis and Fleetwood Mac or jammed with the likes of Bob Dylan and Aretha Franklin.
Almost everyone here in Nashville, Tennessee, is involved with music in one way or another. The city is small ( pop. roughly 660 000), but the music scene is huge, with more than twice as many jobs per capita in the industry here than in Los Angeles or New York. Between 1970 and 2006, Nashville was the only U.S. city where the music business kept expanding and attracting stars: Jack White, Kings of Leon, The Black Keys, Justin Timberlake and Sheryl Crow have all made Nashville their home. Add to that the hundreds of musicians only insiders know, the ones who provide live music at breakfast time in many bars and cafés. They drive for Uber to make ends meet and stand in line, guitar in hand, for open-mic and songwriter events in the hopes of getting their big break. They are the reason Nashville is known as the "Songwriting Capital of the World."
The atmosphere at the Bluebird is intimate, like a jam session. Every newcomer dreams of playing a set here, but the standard is high. The manager, Erika Wollam Nichols, allows each candidate just one minute. Is she too tough? Wollam Nichols, with bangs and the imperturbability of the seasoned roadie, shakes her head. "That's the average time people listen to a song on the radio before deciding to keep listening or switch to another station." Taylor Swift and Keith Urban were both discovered here. Tonight, though, the performers are not young hopefuls but old hands. A guitarist in a hat takes the dimly lit stage. You don't have to be from Nashville to recognize him: Colin Linden, a band member in the TV series "Nashville" and also a musical consultant to the show. Now in its sixth season, the internationally successful series regularly features the Bluebird Cafe. "So, do y'all feel like you're in an episode of 'Nashville'?" Linden asks the audience. "That woman over there invented us all." The platinum-blond scriptwriter Callie Khouri, seated at a neighboring table, nods at the crowd. In 1992, Khouri won an Academy Award for her screenplay for Thelma & Louise and she's the creative force behind "Nashville." Since the show started, as many as 300 people have waited outside some nights, hoping to snag one of the Bluebird's 100 seats. And thanks in large part to the series' success, the city has become something of a tourist magnet, too.
"Nashville" is a show about country music, and it's country music that has made the city famous. Downtown, you'll find the Country Music Hall of Fame with a museum attached. As you walk down Lower Broadway, you will always hear country music issuing from the honky-tonks, which are often crowded by midday. But Nashville's music is more complex: It's a mix of punk rock, Americana, indie, pop and blues that has its own scene – off Honky Tonk Highway – in Melrose, 12 South and trendy East Nashville across the Cumberland River.
It's not yet noon in East Nashville's hippy-esque Graze bistro. The door opens and redhead Tanya Montana Coe walks in sporting cowboy boots and a blouse that glitters differently with every movement. Born and raised in Nashville, the singer with the smooth, husky voice is one of those people who attracts attention even when they're going for brunch. Her father, musician David Allan Coe, wrote "Tanya Montana" for his daughter when she was a teenager. Later, she didn't want to have anything to do with the music business. "Show business loses its appeal when you spend most of your childhood somewhere backstage," she explains, sipping a smoothie.
She didn't start learning to play the guitar until she was in her twenties. She was working as an accountant then, but the office job was too constricting. "My friends were all doing something creative, and that was infectious." She and a friend opened Goodbuy Girls, a vintage boutique selling stylish cowgirl boots and Western clothing. Once a week, they invited different musicians to play during their shop-and-sip happy hour. One night, one of them said: "Tanya, why don't you play something." The response surprised her completely: "The applause blew me away," she recalls. When the husband of a friend offered to produce her debut album, she agreed and then spent three years honing her sound to make it as different from her father's as possible. "I wanted it to be my own style, not what people expected." Coe's first album, Silver Bullet, came out in 2015, a true product born of talent and friendship. It sounds best right here in Nashville. Even as a child, she disliked touring on a grand scale. Coe, who recently released the single "Electric Blue," still feels most at home in Nashville clubs.
I spent most of my childhood somewhere backstage
The city has just the right infrastructure for a newcomer like Coe: legendary studios, the historic letterpress printer Hatch Show Print and United Record Pressing, the largest operation of its kind in North America. There are countless outstanding musicians waiting to be booked for a studio recording here. Chances are that the guy making sandwiches at the café is a better drummer than the one who was just on the radio. Nashville's location within the U.S. helps, too. They say that if you go on tour from Nashville, you'll reach nearly half of the U.S. population within just one day. Some artists do so well, their success spills over onto everyone else. Jack White, founder of the White Stripes rock duo, influenced much more than the city's indie scene when he established the physical headquarters of his label, Third Man Records (along with a performance venue and a record store) in Nashville. In addition to producing country legend Loretta Lynn and Nashville discovery Margo Price, his label releases blues, jazz, gospel and folk. Every set played in his The Blue Room club is pressed straight onto vinyl.
"When Father John Misty played there, they recorded the gig and gave guests a freshly pressed record to take home," Heather Lose enthuses over a beer at the Vinyl Tap record store and bar. Lose – red curly hair and a hearty laugh – cofounded WXNA, a radio station run by enthusiasts that's open to all genres. Musicians love it and it's considered the city's best station. An art director and photographer, Lose is also a typical Nashvillian. As the daughter of a bass player (and married to one, too), she's crazy about music and works in the business. Before college, she spent some time with a record label in Los Angeles. What brought her back? "In a city like LA, the buildings are so much taller than you, you automatically feel small." In Nashville, everyone finds their own creative niche and artists tend to work together rather than competing.
On Saturday night, the house band at Santa's Pub demonstrates the art of jamming. Santa is a tall man with a white beard and a trailer with Christmassy graffiti. The week-night karaoke events he holds there are wildly popular, perhaps because a can of beer costs just two dollars there, but also because he and his wife, Angelina, treat everyone like a favorite grandchild come for the weekend. Inside it's like a scene from Urban Cowboy, the air thick with cigarette smoke and so full you can't even get to the bar. There's no dance floor, but the bearded gents in plaid shirts whirl their cowboy-hatted ladies around the tables in a spirited two-step without upsetting a single beer. The eight musicians just fit on the tiny stage. The double bass played by Carter Brallier, the band's founder, nearly scrapes the low ceiling. The Ice Cold Pickers, Nashville's best and youngest, talented and charming, play here every Sunday night. Admission is free but tips are welcome.
They get together at Santa's to pay tribute to their musical heroes. After playing the first song themselves, they invite people from the audience onto the stage – singers, songwriters, guitarists, passers-
by. We tear up. Is it the smoke or the soft voice of Ben Haggard, son of the legendary Merle? It hardly matters. In the end, it's the music that matters, the sound that endures from generation to generation and the lyrics that hang in the air after all the beer cans have been collected and the floors have been swept. Songs that were written right here in Nashville.

Arizona is attempting to woo Apple with a $10 million grant and a 70 percent tax break, according to a report.
Apple's new Mesa, Arizona, plant will manufacture glass for its high-tech devices, but only after the state lured the Cupertino, Calif., company with a grant and promise of the facility taxed as a foreign trade zone, according to Bloomberg News. Apple spent $114 million to buy the factory left vacant by First Solar Inc.
However, the state and the local power company, the Salt River Project, had to create renewable energy so Apple would select Mesa as the site. Arizona's newest solar and geothermal plants are happening because of Apple's requests.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
The so-called sweeteners are nothing new. Apple was given $135 million from state and municipal governments to build data centers in Nevada, North Carolina and Oregon, Bloomberg reported. But with an unemployment rate of 7.6, Arizona will likely keep wooing Apple for more jobs.
We believe that locations in California's San Joaquin Valley and deserts could be just as a lucrative for Apple, and closer to its headquarters. It certainly couldn't be any hotter than Arizona.

Every time you pick up a statue in the open Hong Kong world of Sleeping Dogs, you can take it to your shifu (or your kung fu master). In exchange for the statue, he'll teach you a new move to use against your enemies.
But he'll also insult your practice while you do so. Even if you're kicking every student's ass while experimenting with your newly-learned takedown, your shifu will spit out some of the most hilarious insults. Strung together all at once here is even better. It's one of my favorite parts of Sleeping Dogs.

06.14.13- The annual LA Film Festival is officially in full swing featuring a wide variety of movies at the Regal LA Live Stadium 14, where the premier for Crystal Fairy was held. The movie, starring Michael Cera and Gaby Hoffman, is about a young man in his twenties (Cera) traveling with friends through Chile. On their journey to find the Chilean cactus, a hallucinogen native to the land, Cera's character invites a woman by the name of Crystal Fairy (Hoffman) to tag along. The two characters end up bumping heads throughout their quest for the "magical" cactus, but once they find what they are looking for, differences are set aside. The comedy arrives in theaters on July 12 and has already received an award at the Sundance Film Festival for director Sebastián Silva, who also showed up to the LAFF premier.
Silva arrived at the theater shortly after Cera did and the two weren't hesitent to acclaim each other to the press. Cera mentioned his experience in Chile with Silva and his family: "I was living with the Silva brothers for three months so they were really like a second family and I love them- they're like the most magical family I've ever met."
At Crystal Fairy's premier, I spoke with Michael Cera and Gaby Hoffman as they revealed the details behind their two weeks of filming in Chile. "Watching this movie is actually a good way to get a sense of what it was like" Cera said, "We shot it chronologically so we had the voyage that you see in the movie." Cera explained that while the storyline for the film was defined, the actors improvised the dialogue in most scenes. Hoffman told us that, while there was a challenge in being unsure how she was going to "pull off" her not-so-simple character, "Once we were there we just sort of went with the flow and it all happened organically". This 'play-it-by-ear' approach made for authentic interactions between the characters, which could have been seen on and off screen.
The two actors really grew to appreciate one another from the experience, as Cera told us, "Gaby was amazing…she's such a fascinating person…completely bizarre, and fearless, and wonderful- it was great." Hoffman had equally kind words of praise for Cera, saying that, "Michael is the most spectacular human being. He's so talented and he just made my job really easy-all I had to do was react to him." When asked about the challenges of shooting this film, both Cera and Hoffman stated that the overall experience "wasn't challenging" and "was fun".
This humorous film captured the authentic acting abilities of Michael and Gaby by displaying their impromptu wit and banter. Crystal Fairy is yet another movie where Cera shows off his exceptional talent in comedy leaving audiences and fans wondering "what will he do next?!". When I asked Cera what his near-future plans are, his answer was quite simple, "No idea…" There you have it- Michael Cera is the actor with an agenda as improvised as his latest film.

Oklahoma is probably be one of the least likely places to give birth to an industrial noise combo. Musically more accustomed to hosting ballet and theatrical events, it's difficult to envisage the combined works of Andrew Eldritch, Dave Gahan and Trent Reznor ever being placed on any educational curriculum.
Not that Oklahoma-based trio Depth & Current seem concerned by perceptions of the norm. Formed five years ago in the city of Norman just 20 miles south of Oklahoma, they've spent the ensuing period steadily honing their experimental sound into the dizzying maelstrom prevalent throughout Transient. Whereas the band's 2011 self-titled debut hinted at a bright future, Transient delivers those expectations on every level.
What's most astonishing about Transient - their first release for London's Club AC30 - is that the eight pieces barely clock in at a quarter of an hour combined. Rather than pulverise the listener into submission, Depth & Current have created a series of short sharp aural shocks and as a result, Transient seems all the more assured for it.
Mixing pulsating and occasionally jarring beats with meandering synthesized arrangements and swathes of distortion and feedback, the three-piece; Chris Harris, Derek Lemke and Tommy McKenzie; have conjured up a sound that is likely to be embraced by the shoegaze, psyche and goth hordes en masse.
Whether it be the harsh industrial surging opener 'Running', which sounds as if it were recorded in a beehive, or the heavier noise-induced 'Unknown', Depth & Current live up to their biographical description as sonic experimentalists. Obvious reference points including the likes of Depeche Mode, Suicide, A Place To Bury Strangers and The Sisters Of Mercy; the latter due to Chris Harris' baritone, if somewhat spectral vocal.
'Coast 2 Coast' could be Iggy Pop's 'Nightclubbing' revamped by the Batcave crowd circa 1982 while 'Turn Me On' turns My Bloody Valentine et al's reverb drenched blueprint inside out, instead filtering various segments of noise through an ear shredding colander.
Further on, 'You're Alive' provides a timely reminder of why we fell in love with Skywave's Synthstatic nine years ago while the poignant bombast emanating through 'Exes And Ohs' coupled with 'Breaking Your Heart''s reflective eminence render both as possibly the most brutal break-up songs ever set to tape.
A concise lesson in controlled aggression, not a single song breaking the two minutes mark, Transient keeps it short and simple from start to finish. 'A full length album for a modern attention span,' say the band, and we wholeheartedly agree.

The Fighting Seabees was John Wayne's third war movie (not counting Pittsburgh, in which the war figures only slightly), following the Only Angels Have Wings-inspired Fighting Tigers and Reunion in France, both 1942. Although Wayne would eventually become closely tied to the war movie genre, second in popularity and number only to his Westerns, these and They Were Expendable, which premiered after V-E Day but before V-J Day in May 1945, were the only ones actually released during the war.
Ironically, while in The Fighting Seabees he plays an impatient just-give-me-a-gun-and-let-me-fight man of action, Wayne himself never enlisted. His four children entitled him to a 3-A deferment though he could have enlisted as many other 3-A status fathers and industry peers did. Director-mentor John Ford and others encouraged him to enlist throughout the war, but Wayne kept putting it off until it was too late. Many believe his subsequent super-patriotism politics after the war were a direct result of the guilt he felt for not serving, and it was a topic off-limits in interviews.
Olive Films' Blu-ray of The Fighting Seabeas is variable but mostly excellent. There's a fair amount of speckling and other damage, but the sharp image allows viewers to really appreciate the film's scale during its impressive battle scenes particularly. For years most films in the Republic Pictures library looked terrible on home video. New transfers like these are a revelation.
Navy Lt. Commander Robert Yarrow (Dennis O'Keefe, in a role intended for George Reeves until he was drafted) proposes absorbing construction work into a new wing of the U.S. Navy, but Donovan is vehemently against the idea of his men having to first go through a rigid basic training program, and of other Navy procedures he feels would only slow down his construction projects.
Instead he decides to accompany his men on the next job, to build another airstrip on a remote Pacific island. When the Japanese begin bombing and invading the island, Donovan foolishly leads his men into battle using rifles they've secretly stashed in one of their trucks, blundering into a foolproof crossfire trap set by Yarrow. Instead of vanquishing the Japanese with minimal casualties, Donovan's foolhardiness causes many of his own men to be killed or wounded.
Among the critically wounded is Yarrow's girl, war correspondent Constance Chesley (Susan Hayward), who by this time has fallen in love with Donovan instead, this despite his incredible pig-headedness.
The Fighting Seabees presses most of the right buttons, introducing an ensemble of colorful (and predominantly Irish-American) types playing Donovan's construction workers (among them are William Frawley, Paul Fix, J.M. Kerrigan, Grant Withers, Ben Welden, and Duncan Renaldo), only to have them die heroically or needlessly or ironically later in the film. The enemy either is a faceless hoard of invading marauders or ruthless, mostly unseen assassins picking off workers one-by-one. Of the Axis powers, the Japanese were singled out as inhuman monsters in American propaganda, and The Fighting Seabees has its share of whoppers, Yarrow arguing, "We're not fighting men anymore. We're fighting animals," while Donovan calls the enemy "bug-eyed monkeys." (However, more than once Yarrow and Constance refer to Donovan as "a big ape.")
The movie fascinates in the way it admonishes Donovan for stubbornly refusing to get with the program, that his stubborn individuality is directly responsible for many deaths (rarely has such a "hero" been so reckless yet come off so well by the final reel), and insisting the war can only be won if he submits completely to the Navy way of doing things. Constance's near-death experience especially turns the tide and, now humbled, overnight Donovan becomes the ultimate team player insisting every report be filed in triplicate ("I was never one for sitting on the fence," he explains). And yet during the climax only by doing exactly the wrong thing, by exerting his individuality and disobeying orders does he save his battalion.
Similarly, the film's trite romantic triangle exemplifies another component common to such films, that of the female lead whose role isn't so much to stand between two men each fighting for her affections, but rather to create a bond of inseparable friendship between the two opposing men and then selflessly get out of the way for the greater good. Just like real life.
The film was an ideal showcase for Wayne - he even gets to Jitterbug in an early scene - while its large-scale battle scenes still impress. Howard and Theodore Lydecker were Republic's special effects wizards, early geniuses in the art of miniature models. Here, instead of their usual work Republic split them up, with Howard directing a second unit crew that, presumably, would have shot most of the battle footage not featuring Wayne or O'Keefe. Filmed mainly at Iverson Ranch, this footage utilizes almost no miniatures at all but rather consists almost entirely of full-scale destruction effects, including some spectacularly huge explosions.
Video & Audio
In black-and-white and in its original 1.37:1 screen shape, Olive Film's presentation of The Fighting Seabees will be a revelation for those who know the film only from earlier VHS versions or Artisan's 2000 DVD release. The film is, as they say, "unrestored," meaning that it has a lot of speckling, inconsistent PQ during dissolves and fades, and some chemical damage here and there but overall it's bright, very sharp and a major upgrade. The Region A disc has decent audio, English only with no subtitle options, and No Extra Features.
Parting Thoughts
Full of wartime clich�s but undeniably exciting and entertaining, The Fighting Seabees is Highly Recommended.

So we utilized a liquid workforce, leveraging the best talent from the US and Japan. This allowed us to work flexibly with the most impactful IT resources, no matter where they were. With this global team, we analyzed 150,000 cases of transport data collected from iPads installed inside emergency vehicles in Saga Prefecture. We then examined a vast amount of hospital data. By combing these two sets of data, we created a detailed picture of how patients were being transported and what we could do to speed things up. And by applying artificial intelligence and machine learning to the data, we found new opportunities to improve coordination between the government, hospitals and emergency agencies.
That meant we could optimize the dispatch process, reducing the cases where hospitals can't accept patients by up to 40 percent and cutting average transportation time by up to 1.3 minutes. When it comes to saving lives, extra seconds make all the difference.

Pacemaker Trailer (2012)
Once a promising marathon runner, Joo Man-Ho (Kim Myung-Min) was forced to give up his dreams because of a critical leg injury and to support his younger brother. Still unable to leave the track & field for good, Joo Man-Ho then became a pacemaker - a runner who leads his team during the first section of a marathon event before dropping out. He makes ends meet by delivering chicken for a friend's fried chicken restaurant.
Park Sung-Il (Ahn Sung-Ki), his old coach from his marathon running days, pays Man-Ho a visit. Park Sung-Il wants Man-Ho to become the pacemaker for the Korean national team as it prepares for the upcoming 2012 Olympics. Man-Ho is even offered the chance to run in the Olympics as the pacemaker for the Korean team. Park Sung-Il accepts, but faces recurrence of his leg injury, which could prevent him from ever running again and must also contain his original dream of becoming a champion marathon runner.

If you're young and you want to start your own business, Mitt Romney's has some advice from you: Borrow money from your parents. At a "lecture" for students at Otterbein University in Ohio today, Mitt Romney told students that, his friend, Jimmy John, started a business by borrowing $20,000 from his parents at a low interest rate. Romney suggested anyone in the audience could do the same:
This kind of devisiveness, this attack of success, is very different than what we've seen in our country's history. We've always encouraged young people: Take a shot, go for it, take a risk, get the education, borrow money if you have to from your parents, start a business.
Watch it:
The advice fits right into the characterization that Romney is 'out of touch' with regular people. Most students don't have parents with $20,000 in disposable capital sitting around to give to their kids to start a business.
At least it's more than Romney's surrogates had to offer young people on their youth policy conference call this week.

When certain developmental practices are over done by our society, wildlife, and in turn our own communities, are impacted. Here are a few statistics about wildlife that may surprise you: Of the ocean we've explored and the species we've identified, more than 2,000 marine species are listed as "threatened" or endangered. Less than one percent of the ocean is protected. Approximately 14 percent of our land is protected. Close to one fourth of the species assessed by the IUCN have been deemed as at risk of extinction. 90 percent of the species protected by the Endangered Species Act here in the US have recovered!

Editor's note: This story was originally published in January 2005.
When the NHL lockout finally ends, Red Fisher will begin his 50th season on the Canadiens beat. In this feature series, which concludes today, Red picks his Top 10 Habs from the last half-century.
MONTREAL - The applause from the 1,000 guests at this sports celebrity dinner had been warm for Bob Gainey and other stars of his time. Then: "Our next guest is a man who this past September joined the honoured ranks of the Hockey Hall of Fame. Those of us in Montreal thought it was long overdue. The record of the Canadiens is a tribute to the work he did as the team's general manager. Here is ..."
The light played on the round face, catching the high colour in his cheeks and the thin line of wetness above his upper lip. Sam Pollock dabbed at his forehead even as a few people rose to their feet, and soon there was no longer applause sweeping through the grand ballroom of the hotel, but a noise engulfing it.
When people ask about Canadiens dynasties, such as the one in the 1950s and another during the 1970s, it's not necessary to look beyond the people who put them together - general manager Frank Selke Sr., with the team that won a record five Stanley Cups starting in 1955-56, and Pollock in the '60s and '70s, whose teams won nine during his 14-season career. They made it happen with the talent they acquired - at times to the dismay of others.
"Who did the Canadiens take in the draft?" I asked a colleague on a June afternoon in 1973.
"A kid named Gainey ... Bob Gainey."
"They say he was a pretty good defensive player with the Peterborough juniors."
"Never heard of him," I said.
"I guess Pollock did," was the reply.
Pollock's strength as a GM was that he always put his personal stamp on draft choices. Pick the right player and he could be a franchise leader. Choose the wrong one and it could set back a team for several years. Pollock would listen to his scouts, but the buck and the puck always stopped with him. Reaching out for Gainey based largely on his defensive credentials might have been the best decision Pollock made in his years with a team that always has relied heavily on offence. His selection was a surprise to everyone - but Sam knew.
Pollock was in Halifax to watch his first-round choice in the exhibition season's first game. The Boston Bruins were the opposition. The Canadiens were the reigning Stanley Cup champions; the Bruins had won in 1971-72, but were still very much the Big Bad Bruins.
Bobby Orr was on the ice to start the game. So was Peterborough alumnus Gainey. Orr jumped on a loose puck in his zone and then, in the classic Orr skating style, slipped beyond one man and then another. On the opposite side of the ice, rookie Gainey gathered his legs beneath him, gathering speed with each stride and crashed into hockey's best player. Orr went down in a heap, blinking into the lights at Gainey's back. In his seat, no more than 20 feet away from the collision of the rookie and the legend, Pollock smiled thinly. Sam knew.
Nobody ever has been more right about a player. Gainey's first NHL bodycheck was an omen of things to come in his 16-season career, eight as team captain. He made defence and punishing bodychecks fashionable among NHL forwards. He controlled games. He was as much of a winner and a game-breaker as any of his contemporaries who enjoyed 50-goal seasons. No player brought more to the game, few as much, even though the most goals he scored was 23 during the 1980-81 season.
No defensive forward in the league came within a rink-length of him when he was a runaway winner of the first four Selke trophies as the NHL's top defensive forward. He was simply the very best at what he did.
"You watched the way Gainey worked," Larry Robinson once said, "and you had to go out there and try to work the way he did. There was no other way."
Gainey was the poster boy for players who played with and through injuries. One game that comes to mind was Game 6 of the Eastern Conference final in 1983-84, a series the four-time Stanley Cup champion New York Islanders led 3-2 after losing the first two games. Both of Gainey's shoulders were damaged to the point where at noon on game day, coach Jacques Lemaire made it clear he didn't expect his man to dress that night. As it developed, the Canadiens lost that night, but Gainey played ... the Gainey way. It's the only way he could play.
His confrontations with the Islanders' Bryan Trottier and Vancouver's Stan Smyl have become part of hockey lore. He rarely gave an inch, but if he had to, he made certain it was only an inch. It's what made him a member of five Stanley Cup teams and a Conn Smythe winner in 1979.
He is a private person who picks his friends carefully and always has made it a point to do the same with words when he's not completely comfortable with people he doesn't know well - starting with the media. Nobody I know is more in command of what he is doing and what he has wanted to do as a player and later as an executive with the Minnesota North Stars, Dallas Stars and now the Canadiens. He knew it even while he was playing.
Gainey was on the telephone during a Canadiens visit to Boston. "Got a minute?" he asked. "I've got something I'd like to talk to you about."
"Come on up," he was told.
A few minutes later: "I'm thinking about going after the general manager's job in Minnesota. I was wondering what's the best way to go about it."
Gainey was in his 15th season with the Canadiens. He was 35. In his mind, he had done everything he wanted to do as a player. Time to move on.
"The first thing you do is you don't do a thing until you tell Serge (Canadiens GM Savard) what you've got in mind. You don't approach the North Stars directly. You can't. Get someone to talk to them quietly just to let them know you're interested."
"I guess you know this isn't the right time to write about this," Gainey said. "I mean ... I don't have to tell you why."
"I know why," I said. "I can sit on this for a little while, but if I hear a word about it from someone else, I'm going with it."
People in my business get burned now and then holding back on a story. It hurts for the short term, but it's a small price to pay for the long term. Gainey had provided me with a flood of stories during his career. He was always there - win or lose. He had earned many times over the small favour he was asking.
Some weeks later, Gainey brought up the matter. "A reporter called me about it yesterday. Go ahead with it," he said.
The story appeared in The Gazette the next day and, as you'd expect, the media mob descended on Savard. Was it true? What did he think of his team captain applying for the GM's job in Minnesota? "It's news to me," said Savard, who had known about it for many weeks. "I hope Fisher is right. I'll get compensation for Gainey," he said with a laugh.
As it developed, Gainey didn't get the job. He played a 16th season with the Canadiens, then left for France, where he took on a playing-coach's job. The following year, he was behind the North Stars bench and led Minnesota into the Stanley Cup final.
Eight seasons later, Dallas GM Gainey watched his Stars win the Stanley Cup.
The rest you know.
Red Fisher's Top 10 Canadiens
Red's Top 10 Canadiens combined to win 71 Stanley Cups. Here's a look at the players profiled in this feature series:
No. 10: Serge Savard won eight Stanley Cups and was a member of the Big Three on defence with Guy Lapointe and Larry Robinson.
No. 9: Dickie Moore, a six-time Stanley Cup champion, won back-to-back scoring titles during the 1950s.
No. 8: Bob Gainey won five Stanley Cups and was one of the best defensive forwards in NHL history.
No. 7: Bernard (Boom Boom) Geoffrion, a member of six Stanley Cup teams, was the second NHL player to score 50 goals in a season.
No. 6: Defenceman Larry Robinson could do it all - skate, score and fight - en route to six Stanley Cups.
No. 5: Henri Richard won 11 Stanley Cups, an NHL record.
No. 4: Doug Harvey was the best defenceman of his time and played a key role on six Stanley Cup teams.
No. 3: Guy Lafleur, who won three NHL scoring titles, could electrify an audience like no other player with his speed and shot and was on five Stanley Cup teams.
No. 2: The legendary Maurice (Rocket) Richard was more than just a hockey player to Canadiens fans while winning eight Stanley Cups.
No. 1: Jean Beliveau spent 18 seasons with the Canadiens, winning 10 Stanley Cups while displaying unmatched class on and off the ice.

Love is never sure to go smoothly, but at least you're not in Palestine where love can get a whole lot more complicated. Love is one of the most beautiful and pure emotions in the world and yet here it is often deliberately restricted due to the apartheid checkpoints and racist laws that Israel has imposed on the Palestinian people. Unfortunately in Palestine, we are even denied the right to love. Love under occupation is especially complicated when one's lover has a different Hawiyyeh (ID card) from that of the other. It is simply because Palestinians in different places within Palestine have different IDs which identify where we live, in Gaza, or West Bank, or Jerusalem, or 48 lands.
IDs are a symbol of occupation and apartheid. Israel imposed these policies to make our lives more difficult, to control and restrict our movement, to make warm and connected feelings like love more painfully elusive. In Gaza and the West Bank, we have the same green Hawiyyeh. However, it is virtually impossible for a Palestinian from Gaza to visit another Palestinian in the West Bank and vice versa. Our people in Jerusalem hold a blue Hawiyyeh (Israeli Hawiyyeh). This Hawiyyeh is a temporary residence card. It has an expiration date and it can be withdrawn any time by the Israeli Occupation Forces. Israel uses these policies whenever they like which put our people in Jerusalem under permanent threat of being deprived the right to exist on their lands.
I'm writing this after spending one week in Istanbul with Louay Odeh and Areen Sweetat, a beautiful Palestinian couple, and their family who came from Jerusalem to visit them. Louay, who is originally from Lifta, one of Jerusalem's villages, served 10 years in the Israeli prisons before he was released in the Shalit swap deal. His happiness of physical freedom was incomplete as he was expelled to the open-air prison in Gaza.
I had the honor to meet with Louay during a festival of freedom in Gaza right after the prisoner exchange took place on October 18, 2011. I can still remember how excited my dad was when he insisted on us accompanying him to that festival. "It is very much like those popular festivals of freedom that were organised for us when my comrades and I were released in the 1985 swap deal," Dad recalled. Dad knows Louay's uncle as they served 13 years together in Israeli jails. He also met Louay's parents during the 70s in prison as they also experienced imprisonment in Israeli jails like tens of thousands of Palestinians.
Louay's partner Areen who is a Palestinian from 1948 occupied lands waited for him during his entire imprisonment, clinging with hope that the dawn would come when his chains will break for them to unite together in peace and harmony. After two years of Louay's release, they finally got married on August 25, 2013 despite all the obstacles they faced. Their marriage is a victory against Israel's apartheid regime. It wasn't easy for them to re-unite together. They had to find somewhere else outside to celebrate their wedding and live. Louay is no longer able to even enter his homeland Jerusalem after his expulsion to Gaza. Areen as well couldn't enter the Gaza strip which is for Israel "a terrorist zone". Therefore, if she did enter the Gaza Strip, Israel would confiscate her Israeli passport, and that means that she would never be able to see her family and homeland again. The sole solution they could find was living in Turkey until Palestine is free.
I also met one of Louay's brothers, Oday, during his visit to Istanbul. He has become a good friend of mine. He lives in Jerusalem and I'm a refugee living in the Gaza Strip but studying currently in Turkey. We hold different IDs which means that it is almost impossible for us to meet within Palestine. Isn't it insane that I and any friend from the other side of Palestine can only meet face to face in any country other than Palestine? And on the condition that we, the lucky few, manage to be granted a visa to that country? Isn't it inhumane that the only way to talk with friends from the other side of Palestine is through social media?
On the day Oday's flight to Jerusalem was scheduled, he tried to tease me as we were saying goodbye and said jokingly: "I'm going to Jerusalem but you are not." This sentence brought me to tears. But he didn't realize how painful his "joke" was. I went back home along with another friend from Jerusalem. I kept cursing borders, checkpoints, distance and occupation all the way back home. He tried to calm me down and said: "One day we will wake up from this nightmare and live the life we want; in dignity and freedom." I smiled and remembered Rafeef Ziadah's poem, "We, Palestinians, wake up every morning to teach the rest of the world life, sir."
I wonder why it's only us, Palestinians, who must think a billion times before letting our hearts open up to a Palestinian living on the other side of Palestine? Why should our love stories be so complicated, be so agonizing? When can we stop saying: Damn the checkpoints and the apartheid wall? When can we love wherever, whenever and whoever we want without worrying about apartheid checkpoints and the restrictions on our movement that Israel imposes on us? When will the words, "human rights" mean anything on the ground for us Palestinians? When will the international human rights organizations and people worldwide have the conscience to speak out and act against the racism and oppression that we endure on a daily basis? When will all people learn that love is the solution? When will we, Palestinians, be able to live and love in circumstances that you reading this have had your entire lives, but that I have never experienced for a single moment?

Ridiculously decadent and wickedly corrupt, Rogrigo Borgia is one of the best love-to-hate-him characters of all time. As season three of The Borgias is about to hit our screens, we look at where Oscar winner Jeremy Irons likes to spend his time when he's not dominating Renaissance Italy
A screen legend
Thirty-plus years after wowing audiences as Charles Ryder in Brideshead Revisited, Jeremy Irons has reached the social pinnacle – at least in terms of his characters' pomp – sweeping back onto TV screens on 14 April in the third series of The Borgias.
Irons plays Rodrigo Borgia, a gloriously immoral patriarch with even nastier offspring, who schemed his way to become Pope Alexander. Ruthless isn't the word: the Renaissance clan is billed as "the original crime family" in Neil Jordan's account.
The Borgias' settings are sumptuous (the series is shot just outside Budapest, an understandable shift from Rome given the scale of the production) and Jeremy Irons looks right at home, whether striding through palazzi or lying ill in a bed the size of a football pitch.
For a chap whose roles have included that of super-wealthy socialite Claus von Bülow (Reversal of Fortune), which earned him an Oscar, he looks as if he were to the manner born. So to hear that Irons owns an actual real-life 15th-century castle somehow doesn't come as a surprise.
A spiritual connection with Ireland
When he took part in Who Do You Think You Are? a few years back, Irons revealed an almost spiritual love for Ireland. In 1998 he and his wife Sinead Cusack bought a ruin – 15th-century Kilcoe Castle near Ballydehob in West Cork.
The couple painstakingly restored it, and now its peach-painted walls (a controversial choice at the time, but actually very lovely) stand guard over the countryside. Its higgledy staircases, enormous sitting room and open fires make a surprisingly cosy family home.

How to star in your own fairytale
If living in a castle sounds like fun but you're not in the mood to undertake a restoration project that, in Irons's own words, "only a fool would do. Someone with more money than sense," then how about renting one for a week?
The lovely 17th-century Ballinlough Castle in Meath is a mere 50-minute drive from Dublin. The Nugent family has lived in the house for 400 years, but move aside for guests, which gives the place a friendly, relaxed air. Think long walks, open fires, gorgeous grounds and pretty, airy, comfy furnishings.
Or step into the pages of Jane Austen
The combination of history and family life is also part of the magic of Drenagh House near Limavady in County Londonderry. Not strictly a castle, it's one of Ireland's finest late Georgian houses, set in vast parkland, offering four-poster beds, claw-footed baths and views of the Sperrins.
It has self-catering apartments in the clocktower, which can sleep four or eight, if you don't want to rent the whole thing. Either way, it's like living in a Jane Austen novel; you expect Mr Darcy to pop up at any moment.
And that's what a holiday should give you: a total escape, and a chance to dream. What kind of life style do you dream of?

Local and out-of-state athletes competed Saturday for five spots on the National Wheelchair Curling Team, which will go on to the world championship in Switzerland this winter.
Local and out-of-state athletes competed Saturday for five spots on the National Wheelchair Curling Team, which will go on to the world championship in Switzerland this winter.
The competition took place at the Utica Curling Club on Clark Mills Road and showed how many opportunities have become available in the area for people in wheelchairs in recent years, said Sherri Harris-Game of Utica.
Her 17-year-old son Kevin Burnside Jr., who competed Saturday, was born with spina bifida and uses a wheelchair "on and off," she said.
"I thought it was the biggest honor in the world," she said of the location of the national trials. "It's a great opportunity. I'm excited and I'm nervous."
"You don't really have to travel that far or go to another state," Burnside said.
Harris-Game recalled how few opportunities existed locally for her son to participate in sports when he was younger. Now, in addition to curling, he also participates in the Boilermaker and wheelchair basketball, she said.
Burnside only started curling a month ago to prepare for the national trials, which will continue today.
The Utica Curling Club was the perfect location for the competition because the facility is top-notch, and it's accessible to people in wheelchairs, said Marc DePerno, co-chair of the national selection trials.
Next month, the facility will host an international wheelchair competition, featuring teams from Scotland, Norway and Canada, he said.
Community volunteers have been extremely supportive of the program, he said.
"It's helped us develop what is probably the best wheelchair program in the country," he said.
Athletes traveled from Massachusetts, New Jersey, Wisconsin, Texas and Nevada to compete this weekend, DePerno said.
Those chosen for the team will travel to Switzerland in February for the World Wheelchair Curling Championships.

Oksana: From Moscow With Love
[Our Beauty Of The Day]
Where She's From: Beautiful Oksana Lysenko's family snuck into the US after being deported from Canada; after being granted permanent residency, she has since been realizing her American dream.
"I was born in Moscow, Russia but left when I was four to come to Canada and then finally to New York where I was raised," she tells The Black Star News. "Some of the most important things I learned from my parents was to study hard so that I wouldn't have to work as hard as them when I got older. Also, to always try new things whether it was food, or activities."
Oksana started out going to a college for fashion merchandising but then moved to Los Angeles to attend Make-up Designer school to become a make-up artist. "It's been my passion since I was 12 years old. As I was in the process of moving to Los Angeles, I decided to try modeling out on the side to see where it would take me, and so far I've just been trying to work on my portfolio to see where I'd like to really take this."
Where She's At: "I can definitely see this going far just because I don't see why a person can't do what they truly want to do. My aspirations are to become successful in anything I do whether it be modeling or something else while still being grounded and happy."
"It's hard to see which project you choose will be 'that' big break for you," she says, when asked about dealing with challenges. "I've had experiences where a person tries to tell you all this great stuff about their project and how much it can do for you but in the end it is not something you'd really want to sign up for. You have to be very careful and feel people out. If you can read people very easily then that's a great characteristic to have for this work. If you can't and your naive, you will be set up for a disaster which is sad. This business is male dominant so women need to be very cautious in what they sign up to do."
Oksana is inspired by successful models and entrepreneurs such as Heidi Klum, Tyra Banks, Alek Wek, Cindy Crawford, and Sean Combs. "They all started small and went through a lot of hardships but yet still made it to the top. It's always nicer to see those who weren't handed success on a silver platter like Paris Hilton for example," Oksana tells The Black Star.
How does this beauty prepare to step out?
"Some brands I like to wear are bebe, marciano, rock and republic jeans. I like any designer that makes clothing that flatter the female body--not drape over the body and make you look silly. My favorite perfume is channel chance, makeup products definitely from MAC or NARS because they are very vibrant and bold. Shoes: anything that's comfortable and usually very low heel because I'm tall so I like to stay away from too big of heels."
Oksana's Words Of Wisdom: "Always stay positive, the moment negative thoughts start to arise is the moment that things will start to shatter. Surround yourself with happy people who are positive as well."
Oksana's Secrets Of Success: "Well I still have a long way on my road to success but to just stay positive and keep moving forward without looking back helps a lot."
Oksana's Favorite Three Movies: "Inside Man, Sicko, Pretty Woman."
Oksana's Favorite Three Books: "Rich Dad Poor Dad, 48 Laws Of Power, Of Mice And Men."
Three Leaders That Have Most Inspired Oksana: "Benazir Bhutto, Princess Diana, Bill Clinton."
The First Three Things Oksana Would Do As President: "Bring all US troops back. Pre-emptive war is terrorism. Fix our health insurance system and make it free for everyone no exceptions. Fix our corrupt system of the law enforcement."
Oksana's Favorite Car: "The Mercedes CLS 55 AMG and anything Infinity makes is nice."
Oksana's Five Favorite Entertainers And Their Songs: "Common-I Want You; Celine Dion-To Love You More; ATB-Let You Go; Mariah Carey-Always Be My Baby; and, Sonique-Feels So Good."
Oksana's Five Favorite Websites: "www.myspace.com, www.yahoo.com, www.bbc.co.uk, www.youtube.com, www.oxykisses.com."
A Short Oksana Story: "My family had flown to Canada from Russia in hopes of living there but after our visa expired, Canada did not allow us to live there despite attempts of pleading to stay. They ended up deporting us so we drove very late at night to come into the U.S. The employees at the border were asleep as we drove past so we drove very slowly and quietly and made it into New York illegally. After years and years of court cases and lawyer fees, we finally got the approval to stay here permanently and ever since then, it's been a blessing."

Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things on TV to watch while you stay at home and hand-select your exploratory committee. LET'S GO!
HawthoRNe – 10:00PM (TNT) The Jada Pinkett drama with the fUNny name returns for its third season, and joining the cast full time is none other than Mr. J-Lo himself, Marc Anthony. Oh yes, my children. Marc will adding a dash of fiery Miami salsa to the festivities. Perhaps he and Jada will hook up on the show and produce two children who become famous at an obnoxiously young age and credit none of their success to nepotism. Also, be aware that the new season of "Memphis Beat" starts right before this. Didn't know that show was still around, did you? Well, it is. ANTICIPATION: YOU NEED TO KNOW!
THE NINE LIVES OF CHLOE KING – 9:00PM (ABC Family) ABC Family keeps churning out ambitious new series. This one premiering tonight is about a 16-year-old girl who dies. Only she doesn't really die, because she's a member of an ancient race of protectors on the run from evil hitmen who want them dead. Or, at least, dead a few times until they really do stay dead. ANTICIPATION: HIGH CONCEPT!
JON BENJAMIN HAS A VAN – 10:30PM (Comedy Central) Benjamin, a comedian best known as the main voice talent on "Archer" and "Bob's Burgers" (both good shows) gets his own Comedy Central series in which he travels the country in a van seeking out random human interest stories. Hopefully, it'll have reminders of Dave Attell's great "Insomniac" series. God, I loved that show. Why did it have to go away? ANTICIPATION: FUNNY!
INDEPENDENT LENS – 10:00PM (PBS) The Navajo nation believes that there are four genders among human beings: male, female, female with a male essence, and male with a female essence (also known as Capoteism). See how those beliefs ended up playing a role in the 2001 murder of a young Navajo transsexual. Serious stuff. ANTICIPATION: HIGH!
GENE SIMMONS FAMILY JEWELS – 10:00PM (A&E) And at the opposite end of the spectrum, here's the premiere of this show's seventh season SEVENTH season. I'm as blown away as you are. ANTICIPATION: TONGUEY!
Tuesday Watch List: Mrs. Smith And Mr. J-Lo
Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things on TV to watch while you stay at home and hand-select your exploratory committee. LET'S GO!

Cap Gemini is to start flogging Google Apps to its big corporate customers.
The package of office applications, Google Apps Premier Edition, includes spreadsheets, documents, calendar, Gmail, instant messenger and VoIP and is delivered as a service over the internet.
The software as a service (SaaS) market is predicted to grow rapidly - Gartner predicts 25 per cent annual compound growth until 2010.
The deal is a boost for Google's ambitions for the corporate market. Cap Gemini's backing helps Google be seen as a viable partner for large businesses - online applications have been seen as more attractive for small businesses which are focussed on costs and lack large IT departments.
Cap Gemini claims to support over one million desktops around the world. Having an alternative to Microsoft's Office package could help companies negotiate better deals with Redmond.
Cap Gemini will charge an annual licence fee for the package of applications as well as make money from integration and support.
The Google package can either be used as an outright replacement for Office or as a way for staff outside the office to work remotely.
Cap Gemini's press release(Pdf.) is here.®

Steinberg releases new updates for the WaveLab family. The versions WaveLab 6.1.1, WaveLab Studio 6.1.1 and WaveLab Essential 6.0.1 provide compatibility with the Windows 7 operating system. These updates have not run all quality assurance tests as is the case with regular updates, therefore no additional support is available for these versions.
Our priority objective was to offer a solution as soon as possible, allowing our valued customers to use WaveLab 6 with the new Windows 7 operating system. Were releasing this update earlier than actually planned, comments Timo Wildenhain, marketing manager at Steinberg.
The download includes the complete installer packages for Windows 7. Older versions of the WaveLab 6 family do not have to be removed before installing this update.

Welcome to Project Car Hell, where you choose your eternity by selecting the project that's the coolest... and the most hellish! Let's return to Engines Not Found In Nature projects, shall we?
You can find intra-corporate engine swaps all over the place, but even a 350-powered Chevy Vega or a 4A-GZE-motivated Toyota Starlet is a bit of a snore after you've seen a few. The real engine-swap fun starts happening when you do a mashup involving totally unrelated drivetrain and chassis; that way you get
maddening challenging technical hassles and enraged purists thirsting for your heretical blood. It's a lose-lose win-win!
Sure, you can get all manner of potent Nissan powerplants for a 510, but what if you want completely absurd engine revs and all the engine weight behind the front wheels? You could spend crazy downtown money on a wild SR, and then chop a hole in the firewall and move it back… but why not just take a tip from Herr Doktor Wankel and eschew reciprocating mass? That's what the seller of this 1971 Datsun 510 with 1988 RX-7 Turbo engine (go here if the ad disappears) has done, and all you need to do is wrap up
damn near everything a few loose ends to get it fully streetworthy! It's got a Frankensteined custom oil pan, some suspension mods, wheel flares, etc. It starts and drives, doesn't have much rust, and the interior is totally stripped ready for restoration. That engine put out 182 horses from the factory, and you'll be able to blow it up get much, much more with the usual turbo tweaks.
182 horsepower in a 2,000-pound car? Why, you might as well be driving a garbage truck powered by a 50cc Honda Cub motor! You need to get the power-to-weight down from 11 pounds per horse to something more
stupid sensible, like 500 horsepower in a 1,000-pound car! You get to two pounds per horsepower and you'll have plenty of hill-climbing and passing power, because it's all about the safety! We all know that the cheapest route to 500 horsepower is the good ol' Small-Block Chevrolet V8; you can put together 500 reliable Chevy horses using off-the-shelf parts, no sweat… but what car best suits such an engine? We suggest this 1965 Austin-Healey Sprite (go here if the ad disappears), which is already set up for a small-block Chevy engine. By "set up," we're not sure if that means "Austin engine torn out, space now available for Chevy" or "engine mounts in place, firewall modified," but you'll learn more as you try to negotiate the price down from the $3,000 starting point. It has a "professionally built" chassis and wheel tubs- hey, you need steamroller rubber to propel you into the nearest concrete abutment get all those horses to the pavement- but the planned 4-link rear suspension, she is not finished yet. Does it come with the body and trim parts not shown in the photo? Is there rust? We can't say! Don't worry about that stuff, though, because we can think of plenty of cars with tougher parts availability than the Sprite. Thanks to Radiohound for the tip!
