>> So you just brought a Mustang GT, you hotted [assumed spelling] it all up, even did some [inaudible] modes [assumed spelling], that's great because this car will eat your car.
>> This is a Saleen S302 Extreme, top of the line for the most ordacious [assumed spelling] Mustang hot rider in the world. ^M00:00:20 [ Music ] ^M00:00:26
>> Let's do it by the numbers, 620 horsepower, 600 foot-pounds of torque, seriously.
>> How did they get there? First of all, they clamp on a twins screw super charger, so that's the big difference. After that it's all massaging. Do all the stuff right, port [assumed spelling] polished, blueprint, balance, make it breathe better, yeah it's got an intercooler on there, you need that. But the button line is it's a based Mustang 302 GT they start with, then they give it this. Now, you're not going to take that kind of performance and power, and run it through a stock [assumed spelling] mustang GT Suspension, not unless you got a death wish, no offense to Ford. So what Saleen does is drop that suspension out, put a whole new race craft suspension under there, they do all the stuff right, I'm not going to kill you with every components, but a couple of highlights. 20 inch wheels, otherwise, you can't get big enough [inaudible] to control this thing. And they put in some big breaks that have six pott [assumed spelling] calipers [assumed spelling]; this thing stops just about as well as it gets going. Technology in this car in interesting, now mustangs aren't known for having lots of cabin tech, but you can get a navigation system in the Saleen S302 Extreme, and also and Ipod adapter, so it's not exactly a tech showcase, but I do like a couple touches on the dash, I'm a big dash fetishist. Nice new Saleen gauges that they add in on their cars, taking out the stock's Ford units. And I like the little blister up here with these two boost gauges, you get your boost PSI, and your air temperature here for your intake. These, of course are key things on a car set up this way. Other niceties is the one you just love, that means you don't even need a good stereo, is that exhaust system. It's a custom Saleen stainless steel center section rig, and let me tell you, it just sounds great. Transmission choices are either this very meaty [assumed spelling] feeling, six-speed manual, or a three speed automatic, kidding.
>> As the most power car Saleen has ever done, this S302 extreme offer 0 to 60 in the sub four-second range. Price is just a tick under 80 grand to start, and just a 100 copies are going to come off the line in the first year.

"An Inconvenient Truth" trailer
Humanity is sitting on a time bomb. If the vast majority of the world's scientists are right, we have just 10 years to avert a major catastrophe that could send our entire planet's climate system into a tailspin of epic destruction involving extreme weather, floods, droughts, epidemics, and killer heat waves beyond anything we have ever experienced--a catastrophe of our own making. If that sounds like a recipe for serious gloom and doom--think again. From director Davis Guggenheim comes the Sundance Film Festival hit, "An Inconvenient Truth," which offers a passionate and inspirational look at one man's commitment to expose the myths and misconceptions that surround global warming and inspire actions to prevent it. That man is former Vice President Al Gore, who, in the wake of defeat in the 2000 election, reset the course of his life to focus on an all-out effort to help save the planet from irrevocable change. In this eye-opening and poignant portrait of Gore and his "traveling global warming show," Gore is funny, engaging, open, and downright on fire about getting the surprisingly stirring truth about what he calls our "planetary emergency" out to ordinary citizens before it's too late. With 2005, the worst storm season ever experienced in America just behind us, it seems we may be reaching a tipping point--and Gore pulls no punches in explaining the dire situation. Interspersed with the bracing facts and future predictions is the story of Gore's personal journey: from an idealistic college student who first saw a massive environmental crisis looming; to a young Senator facing a harrowing family tragedy that altered his perspective; to the man who almost became President but instead returned to the most impassioned cause of his life--convinced there is still time to make a difference. With wit, smarts, and hope, "An Inconvenient Truth" ultimately brings home Gore's persuasive argument that we can no longer afford to view global warming as a political issue--rather, it is the biggest moral challenge facing our global civilization.

With this video it seems like the core solution involves lots of heavy metal head banging. There is no doubt that the second full-length album from Norway's ZYKLON is a platter highly anticipated. Fans and critics alike have followed the album's progress as various news and music gossip pages have meticulously tracked the band's trips and sightings during the making of this all-important recording. And now, with worldwide release set for early September, "Aeon" - as it is titled - will come to represent more than just a stronger and more potent ZYKLON; it will righteously disclose for all a band in possession of steadfast determination, focus and poised to wave their personal banner of musical independence for years to come. Escalating the extremity factor, Aeon gives witness to equal measure death and black metal. But as those who know ZYKLON's sound can attest - so much more can and will be found within. Guitarist Samoth and drummer Trym together with guitarist Destructhor and new vocalist/bassist Secthdamon bestow an incredulously cold and calculated metal, a sound that is light years apart from the duo's later Emperial days. And as monumental as 2001's "World ov Worms" was ("a mighty, snarling beast," said Malcome Dome/Metal-Is), Aeon's musical palette needs but a solitary sitting in which to bare its raging power. Recorded at Akkerhaugen Lydstudioin in Norway and mixed at famed Studio Fredman in Sweden under the watchful eye of Fredrik Nordstr?m, "Aeon" sees B?rd "Faust" Eithun returning to handle lyrical duties while Secthdamon takes his first steps on record behind the mike and on bass. Earning his vocal stripes while touring (the band supporting Morbid Angel and Deicide for their maiden US adventure), the drummer turned bassist/vocalist settles perfectly into the position left vacant in late 2001 by Daemon. Destructhor will continue to impress the guitar aficionados with his lightning-fast solos and technique. Add to it the long-respected play of Samoth and the inspiring skins of Trym, "Aeon" is a record that builds upon an already revered sonic recipe. Founded in 1998, it was evident from the start that ZYKLON was to be more than just a "side project" for the then-Emperor guitarist and drummer. Teaming with Destructhor (also of Myrkskog), the trio's rehearsals ignited a spark that would put them on the fast track. Enter England's Candlelight Records. Already home to Emperor, Candlelight was the best and obvious first choice for the band and their recording future. Enlisting Daemon from Limbonic Art for vocals and featuring a guest appearance from Kristoffer Rygg (Ulver, Arcturus), "World ov Worms" was recorded and released February 2001 in Europe and followed in April for the United States. The band would tour worldwide with Morbid Angel and by year's end the album would find itself upon many magazine and critic "Best of Year" lists. Work began on Aeon in early 2002 with the band's writing and rehearsing seeing out the end of the year. Recording commenced in February 2003 with final work completed in May. The album's cover art was created by long-time friend and accomplished designer Stephen O'Malley. Whereas previous work catered around the studio, ZYKLON is equally dedicated to the live arena. With festival appearances already confirmed and tours looming on a horizon that will see the band living for the stage till the early months of 2004, "Aeon" will ultimately earn its merit where it ought to - in front of the band's dedicated and growing fan base.
