Jane Campion to Lead Jury at Cannes Film Festival
Oscar winner Jane Campion will lead the jury at the 67th Cannes Film Festival. The New Zealand director is the first, and still only, woman to have won Cannes' top prize, the Palme d'Or. She won in 1993 for The Piano, sharing the prize ex aequo with Kaige Chen's Farewell My Concubine.
"Since I first went to Cannes with my short films in 1986, I have had the opportunity to see the festival from many sides, and my admiration for this Queen of film festivals has only grown larger," Campion said in a statement. "At the Cannes Film Festival they manage to combine and celebrate the glamor of the industry, the stars, the parties, the beaches, the business, while rigorously maintaining the festival's seriousness about the Art and excellence of new world cinema."
EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS: 50 Never-Before-Seen Portraits From Cannes
In addition to the Palme d'Or, The Piano went on to win three Oscars, including a best original screenplay nod for Campion, a best actress Oscar for star Holly Hunter and a best supporting win for the then 11-year-old Anna Paquin. More recently, Campion has ventured onto the small screen, directing the TV mystery mini-series Top of the Lake, featuring Elisabeth Moss and Hunter, which aired on Sundance Channel in the U.S..
Campion takes over in Cannes from last year's jury head, Steven Spielberg.
She also collected the Short Film Palme d'Or in 1986 for Peel. She headed the Short Film Jury and the Cinefondation at last year's festival.

Pistol is more than the biography of a ballplayer. It's the stuff of classic novels: the story of a boy transformed by his father's dream -- and the cost of that dream. Even as Pete Maravich became Pistol Pete -- a basketball icon for baby boomers -- all the Maraviches paid a price. Now acclaimed author Mark Kriegel has brilliantly captured the saga of an American family: its rise, its apparent

Novelist and former sports-columnist Mark Kriegel's bestselling biography of the iconic quarterback details his journey from steel-town pool halls to the upper reaches of American celebrity—and beyond. The first of his kind, Namath enabled a nation to see sports as show biz.

On Monday, The Pirate Bay announced (thepiratebay.org/blog/203) that it has launched a new category for torrents, 3D printing blue-prints. This is not as ridiculously optimistic as it sounds.
"In 2012, 3-D printing technology will go from prototyping to production"
IEEE Spectrum (Magazine of the world's largest engineering organisation)
Free software such as Autodesk is available for you to make designs with and "push-button connections to online 3-D-printing services, of which there are now dozens, if not hundreds" are already in existence. This year 1000 production-quality 3-D printers will be placed in high schools across the U.S under a federal programme (IEEE).
Admittedly not a great deal is on the Pirate Bay's page yet except blueprints for a model pirate ship, a 3D Chris Dodd engraved with the AACS Encryption Key, a dildo and a whistle. That is set to change however with databases such as Shapeways and Thingiverse already handling blueprint sharing and printing. Media lawyers have already entered the battlefield with one Shapeways user already having received a cease-and-desist order from movie studio Paramount after creating a 3D replica of a prop.
The potential for 3D printing is not to be sniffed at. The world's first 3D printed plane flew out of Southhampton University in July, demonstrating that the possibilities really are endless.
Worlds first plane created entirely by 3D printing completed successfully
Engineers at the University of Southampton have completed the first plane created using nothing but a 3D printer. The method which uses lasers to fabricate powdered metal and plastic was used to build the plane with no help from fasteners. The plane has a two metre wing span and hits a top speed of almost 100 miles an hour. According to the Southampton team this breakthrough in 3D printing could result in radical changes in the way aircraft are built.
"Laser sintering allows the designer to create shapes and structures that would normally involve costly traditional manufacturing techniques. This technology allows a highly-tailored aircraft to be developed from concept to first flight in days. Using conventional materials and manufacturing techniques, such as composites, this would normally take months. Furthermore, because no tooling is required for manufacture, radical changes to the shape and scale of the aircraft can be made with no extra cost."
As a result of this project the University of Southampton has launched a new Masters course in unmanned autonomous vehicle (UAV) design. (Perhaps my April fools day post may not have been so far off the mark after all).

As bad as the current job recovery has been — and it's by far the weakest since World War II — the recovery in wages has been far worse.
Five years after the recession began in December 2007, total wages in the economy have yet to fully recover in real terms, Commerce Department data show. In other words, the wage recession continues.
By comparison, the longest previous post-war wage recession, which began with the 2001 downturn, was over in 2-1/2 years, even though that jobs recession lasted four years.
In recoveries past, wage recessions have ended long before payrolls hit new highs. But in the current expansion, wages and employment are on the same slow track to recovery. Both remain about 2% below their old peaks.
Sixty months after the start of the 2001 recession, where we are now in the current cycle, wages were already nearly 8% above their prior peak, though payrolls were just 2% higher. A similar recovery would have boosted current wages by about $650 billion annually.
The early 1980s, marked by high inflation, saw real wages recover from one recession only to fall again before staging a more durable rebound. But the current wage recession has outlasted even that era of real wage stagnation.
The simplest explanation as to why wages have been so sluggish in this recovery is that the depth of job losses eroded employee bargaining power more than usual.
While it may not be true in all industries and specializations, the broad oversupply of labor means that workers have tended to feel fortunate to have a steady job, even without the gravy of pay hikes that outstrip inflation.
Another factor has been the underlying job shift since the end of 2007, with the bulk of the lingering losses in industries that tend to pay pretty well.
Compared to five years ago, there are 3.5 million fewer construction and manufacturing jobs and 1 million fewer jobs in financial services and government.
"Job quality is rapidly emerging as a second front in the struggling recovery," the National Employment Law Project, a low-wage worker advocacy group, concluded in a study in August. NELP found that lower-wage occupations accounted for 21% of the recession's job losses but 58% of the recovery's job gains.
By contrast, midwage occupations made up 60% of the job losses in the recession but just 22% of the jobs recovered in its aftermath.
Jobless claims tumbled again in the March 21 week, suggesting a labor market that's not only on firm footing, but one that's heating up. That's despite other economic data in 2015 that has generally been soft and below forecasts. Initial claims declined by 9,000 to 282,000, the Labor Department ...
Jobless claims sink There were 282,000 initial claims for benefits in the March 21 week, down 9,000 from the prior week and beating expectations of 293,000. The 4-week moving average dropped 7,750 to 297,000. Continuing claims declined 6,000 to 2.416 mil, though the 4-week moving average rose 3,000 ...
Orders for long-lived goods sank in February, adding to a string of reports signaling a slow patch for U.S. manufacturing. Durable goods orders fell 1.4%, the Commerce Department said Wednesday, defying forecasts of a 0.7% gain. January's gain was revised from 2.8% down to 2%. Durables excluding ...
Orders for long-lived goods have disappointed more often than not, and did so again in February. Orders sank 1.4% vs. January, hardly the 0.7% increase analysts had expected. Worse, a 2.8% gain in January was revised down to 2.0%. Excluding transportation, orders were down 0.4%, their fifth ...

Kix Brooks to Release Debut Album September 11
Kix Brooks is gearing up for what will be a significant day in his newly-birthed solo career. The iconic Brooks and Dunn hitmaker is set to release his debut album as a standalone artist in September.
Kix Brooks is gearing up for what will be a significant day in his newly-birthed solo career. The iconic Brooks and Dunn hitmaker is set to release his debut album as a standalone artist in September.
Longtime duet partners Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn are on the same ballot for induction into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. Both are nominated in the Songwriter/Artists category, but only one can be inducted. There's no guarantee either will be picked, however.
Kix Brooks isn't the new guy in the video for his Joe Walsh-assisted song 'New to This Town.' He's more like the narrator who witnesses everything and follows the action. The clip also features Brooks as a character in the middle of the plot scenes, singing his song while events unfold around him. Then, things occur in reverse. Sadly, we don't get do-overs in life nor are we able to undo things once they've happened. But it's fun to pretend like we have that power or ability for a few minutes in a video for a country song that muses about what could or should be in life.
Let's give it up for Mr. Vegas! Does this mean Garth is done touring on a large scale for good? If I had to bet, I still think we will see Garth put the band together for an old-school, high energy tour soon rather than later. If that happened, would you be excited to see Garth in concert?
Garth Brooks, Connie Smith and session musician Hargus "Pig" Robbins have been elected as the newest members of the Country Music Hall of Fame. The announcement was made
Kix Brooks will release his first solo single since the split of Brooks and Dunn in 2010. The country great has teamed up with Eagles' guitarist Joe Walsh to record 'New to This Town,' a song that will be released to radio on March 19.
Today's Daily Roundup includes Taylor Swift talking about single life and a new video from Josh Thompson. Kix Brooks also made a big announcement and Jason Aldean shared his thoughts on competitive singing shows on television.

Velo Files: Open Slather
Not in a decade or more have the Spring Classics looked such a wide open
affair - and so far, writes Anthony
Tan, it's been absolutely brilliant.
Less than a week after the season's first monument, Milan-San Remo, and men's professional cycling has lost three of the biggest favourites for the Northern Classics.

Velo Files: The Invisible Man
For Bling to one day win at Milan-San Remo, he must follow the path of The Invisible Man, writes Anthony Tan.
Apart from seeing how he rode, inconspicuous till the final metres, Michael Matthews should take note of what John Degenkolb, a rider with very similar attributes to he, said after he won Sunday in Sanremo. "Experience is very important. It took me four years to gain the necessary experience. Of course you can talk to people and get their advice, but I believe you have to do it yourself, and also mature because of disappointments, like mine last year."
As he said, this year was Degenkolb's fourth attempt at the race - having previously placed 5th, 18th, 39th between 2012-14, respectively. For Matthews, it was M-SR number three, placing 107th (2011), 78th last year, and third last Sunday. From the way he rode on the Cipressa and Poggio, clearly, the 24-year-old had the physical maturity to go the distance, but lacked the maturity of experience in the race; he was far too visible when he didn't need to be, particularly when Greg Van Avermaet attacked on the Poggio and forced the hand of he and Peter Sagan, then again when Sagan - who, unlike Degenkolb, is utterly hopeless at restraining himself - dangled off the front on the run-in to the finish on the Via Roma. "The most important (thing) is to relax; stay calm, save your legs, save your legs, and save your legs until the Via Aurelia. You have to have a good position: not too far to the front, and not too from at the back. You have to find the balance," Degenkolb said, Yoda-like.
Velo Files: Who Will Win M-SR?
Milan-San Remo is nothing if not long and unpredictable. Nonetheless, Anthony Tan looks at eight men who can cross La Via Roma's white line first in the season's first Monument.
SBS will broadcast Milan-San Remo LIVE!
Can you name another race where everyone from Mark Cavendish to Peter Sagan to Alexander Kristoff to Gerald Ciolek to Edvald Boassen Hagen to Tony Gallopin to Michal Kwiatkowski to Fabian Cancellara can win?
Velo Files: Coming... hors catégorie Nairo!
If Tirreno-Adriatico was he at 80 percent, expect to see a hors catégorie Nairo Quintana before too long, writes Anthony Tan.
How good is he?
Crashing twice at last year's Vuelta a España - the first midway through, and in the race lead; the second resulting in a fractured shoulder and out of the race - then, a month prior to the start of Tirreno-Adriatico, falling again at the Colombian road championships - and yep, on that right shoulder he busted five months previous - the flyweight Colombian could be completely forgiven for coming to Lido di Camaiore last Wednesday medium-rare, to use parlance familiar to Alberto Contador's favourite butcher.
Velo Files: Some Nice, some not so Nice
Despite the absence of a few super heavy hitters, this year's Paris-Nice was no less revealing, writes Anthony Tan.
So many things happened at Paris-Nice, it almost feels like we've been through a Grand Tour already, even though we only saw just eight days of racing.
The prologue was a demonstration of just how serious Michal Kwiatkowski was about discovering his stage race potential, eschewing a title defence at Strade Bianche to be as good as he could from the get-go.

I can't rate this machine because I purchased it as a gift. I was being a Secret Santa in a Staples store, when I observed a person looking at the Dell I660. When the sales person asked if he could help her, she responded by saying she was a little short of money and would have to wait a couple of weeks to make the purchase. I found out what she was doing with the unit, and picked out an appropriate unit that would handle her needs - and told the cashier to put it on my credit card.

Great product.
Comments about Dell Inspiron Desktop Computer (I660):
We needed a quick replacement for our old one that did unexpectedly and really didn't have the time to compare and research a lot of different types. This 1 looked like it would meet our needs and not cost us too much. Glad we bought this! Works great and meets all of our needs. Price was great as well and it was even on sale!

time consuming, frustrating problem
Comments about Dell Inspiron Desktop Computer (I660):
We have had nothing but pop ups/malware trouble since we got home with this computer and plugged it in. Finally Dell tech support remotely cleared everything and reinstalled the their programs. We had to reinstall our virus protection, printer, etc. which took more time. Now things seem to be working. Before Dell helped us, we had spent hours with other tech support on mutiple days trying to make our new computer useable. I wish Staples tech support had offered me the Dell tech support number as a suggestion to the problem. This could have been resolved quickly instead of over weeks. The Staples tech support only offered their scan and then for me to pay more if they found a virus. It was a brand new computer when the trouble started. I could have just purchased another one for what they suggested. The computer was too infected for the usual virus protections to do any good, and Dell was very helpful.

Great basic computer
Comments about Dell Inspiron Desktop Computer (I660):
Great 2nd computer. Has HDMI out to use as a home theater system. Large hard drive. Windows 7 still. That's a plus. Upgradeable but not meant as a gaming computer. Has built in wifi. For the price, it is a nice computer. With the addition of a solid state drive, this will increase the speed of the computer's boot time even though it starts fairly quick already. Using it for my kids and their homework which is more than enough power. This is my 4th dell computer and all have worked well for years.

Undercabinet lighting
I want to include under-cabinet lighting in my remodel.
The lights cannot be more than an inch thick.
They need to be turned on from a pre-existing light switch that is in the middle of the cabinetry. There will be two lines of under-cabinet lights coming from this switch, one to the cabinets on the left, the other to the cabinets on the right.
I'm asking the question because I understand that LED lights, for instance, need a transformer, and I'm not sure building codes would let an electrician connect a transformer to a wall switch, and have that transformer hidden inside the wall! Maybe it's a fire hazard?
What are my under-cabinet lighting options?
Thanks ahead.
Uroboros -
there is a thread here that explains installing UCL and wiring to a switch. You can put the transformer in basement or attic or in a cabinet where it can be accessed. We put ours in the cabinet over the microwave but then ours are not wired to a wall switch.
also - ours are 1/2" thick.
the link to UCL install...
Here is a link that might be useful: UCL - DIY
You can also mount a power supply (AKA 'electronic transformer') on the bottom of the cabinet.
Many are less than 1 inch thick.
The problem with remote transformers is that any wiring concealed in walls must be an 'approved method.'
Most of the time the smallest gauge you can find is #14, but if you have a high capacity transformer you are going to need larger wires.
Some equipment is available and listed for hard wiring without a receptacle.
If you use lights that require a receptacle it must be inside the cabinet and not in the counter back-splash.
Permanent lighting is also not allowed on the kitchen counter small appliance branch circuits.
It can take up almost no cabinet space if an electric box is recessed through the back of the cabinets into the stud cavity of the wall.
The receptacle plate is flush with the inside of the back of the cabinet.

Termite Company Price?
I'm having an addition put on the house and the contractor had a Termite and Pest Control company pre-treat the area. The termite company quoted a price of $683 to do my entire house and the annual renewal fee would be $145. Is this a good price?
Here's what they are supposed to do:
1. Remove all wood cellulose-bearing debris.
2. Provide suitable access openings to all crawl-space areas.
3. Trench entire perimeter of the structure(s) adjacent to the pillars. Rod and/or drill through the slabs) as necessary.
4. Treat entire perimeter of the structures, including all expansion joints, control joints and cracks in the pillars as per label and labeling (some vertical drilling may be required).
5. Treat all plumbing areas that are accessible to the contractor as required by label and labeling
6. Other openings treated as required by label and labeling.
You said that your building contractor made this deal? I sure don't like the sound of that.
Ken....why is it that you don't have to worry about termites? MSU states: "Termites are an important wood-destroying pest in Michigan." What's the deal? Maybe the problem isn't as pervasive as it can be in other locations. Subterranean termites are sneaky critters. I think that there is a misconception that they are found only (or mostly) in warmer locations.
maybe its that darn poured cement basement.. lol ...
i cant answer about moo you ... as a wolverine.. moo yew.. does not really exist .. in my mind.. lol ..
i am hoping for a real MI winter so as to forestall any northern migration of this particular pest ...
kim probably can address that.. probably a moo yew grad.. based on the depth of his/her horticultural knowledge ....
In the southern states, termites are extremely destructive structural pests. Thus, specs often call for under-slab treatments. (Much cheaper prior to building the structure than after.)
Thus, the OP *must* have local bids/quotes. Those of us from other regions, even from other cities, won't have a clue.
Termites can be as much of a problem in Michigan and other northern states as down south, although we won't have 5 species of them. Termites are known to make tubes to travel in on poured concrete or cement block walls to reach the wood structure they are looking for.
termites can chew thru cement .. making tubes?????
crimminey ... sounds like a new horror movine ... lol
or do you mean tubes of excrement[one end or the other] to climb up the exterior .. man that might even be a worse movie. . lol
kim ignored my moo yew thesis .. hmmm ...
Ken. Termites build those tubes on the concrete to reach the wood structure. The tubes look kind of similar to very elongated wasp nests going up the concrete, usually inside where they are shaded from the sun but can be on the outside also.
The link below may be of some help.
Here is a link that might be useful: about termites

Exxon's gas supplies doubled in Q3 on new Qatar trains.
November 2, 2010 2:40 by Rasha Reslan
Exxon Mobil Corp expects strong demand in Asia Pacific to absorb fresh gas supplies after doubling third-quarter output from a year ago on production from new liquefied natural gas (LNG) trains in Qatar, a senior executive said on Tuesday.
However, unconventional gas in Asia will take longer to develop unlike in the United States due to the lack of pipeline infrastructure, even as ExxonMobil prepares to start exploratory drilling in coalbed methane (CBM) blocks in Indonesia.
"In my mind, we can't get gas fast enough as an industry because of the demand out there," Linda DuCharme, Vice President at ExxonMobil Gas and Power Marketing Co told Reuters at the Singapore Energy Week.
In Asia's developing countries, total energy demand will double in the next 20 years while natural gas demand will grow by 125 percent, she said.
ExxonMobil's available gas supplies for sales have risen to 12 billion cubic feet (339.8 million cu metres) per day in the third quarter, up from 8 billion cubic feet per day in the same quarter last year.
Supplies from Asia Pacific and the Middle East are around 5 billion cubic feet per day, DuCharme said.
Producers are eyeing Asia to provide homes for new capacity as the world struggles to absorb supplies with many developed economies still in recovery mode.
Qatari oil minister Abdullah al-Attiyah said that demand and supply could become balanced in three years but the International Energy Agency (IEA) says the oversupply could last a decade.
Between 2009 and 2010, ExxonMobil and Qatar Petroleum started up four 7.8 million tonne-per-year (tpy) LNG trains.
The U.S. energy major also has stakes in two LNG projects in Australia and Papua New Guinea with total output of 21.6 million tpy and will be completed in 2014.
Besides the large emerging economies of China and India, Southeast Asia also holds huge potential for gas consumption, DuCharme said.
"Pipeline gas is very much a potential for a lot of countries in Southeast Asia," DuCharme said, adding that the company is actively exploring for resources in countries such as the Philippines, Vietnam and Indonesia.
In Indonesia, ExxonMobil has signed agreements with state utility Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) and fertiliser producer PT Petrokimia Gresik (PKG), for evaluating gas sales from the Cepu block in Java which has 2-3 trillion cubic feet of proven and potential natural gas reserves.
Exxon Mobil said in January it expected peak crude oil production of 165,000 barrels per day (bpd) from its Cepu block to be delayed until the end of 2013.
The company expects to start exploratory drilling in coalbed methane blocks in South Kalimantan in six months using technology it acquired after buying shale gas producer XTO Energy Inc last year, DuCharme said.
But the lack of pipeline infrastructure means that unconventional gas would not be coming online as quickly as it did in the U.S., she added.
Local media had reported that PLN was targeting to use gas from the Kalimantan CBM blocks to fire an 8-megawatt power plant by end-2011. ExxonMobil operates the blocks with local partner PT Sugico Graha.
In Singapore, ExxonMobil is looking at importing its own gas in the long term for its power plants, DuCharme said.
ExxonMobil operates a 140-megawatt cogeneration plant, which currently uses imported pipeline gas. It is building another 220-megawatt unit to supply electricity to the Jurong Island oil and petrochemical hub.
"We're a big consumer of gas here," DuCharme said. "In the long term, we love to have the opportunity to look at supplying ourselves."

Customizing my pc: dell inspiron 530

Posted February 3, 2013 at 4:12PM
Hi! I am currently attempting to change my dell inspiron 530s. I intend to take the motherboard and implement it into a new case (http://amzn.to/X6DKBp). I also intent to replace the power supply with a 500 watt one (http://amzn.to/YMRPZS) and finally i want to put in a new graphics card (http://amzn.to/11DCLtx).
So my question is, i have looked into this and i think that the three should work together. However im not sure and therefor i was wondering is someone who is more knowledgeble on this subject could look over this for me and tell me if any of them are incompatible and what would be compatible?
Thank you for reading :)

Looks OK to me
of course the graphics card would not fit in the old slimline case (half height need) but should be ok for the new case.

In late August, state Speaker of the House Beth Harwell was sitting in traffic on West End when she told WPLN's Daniel Potter by phone that "it would be difficult" to get state legislators to pony up $35 million for The Amp.
Since traffic congestion on Nashville's central corridor is the chief argument for Mayor Karl Dean's massive bus rapid transit project, its negligible effect on one of the state's most powerful legislators — and a Nashvillian to boot — was a big flashing warning sign. In any case, the Dean administration seemed caught off guard last week when Harwell told The Tennessean, unequivocally, that the state should not chip in for The Amp.
"I haven't spoken to Speaker Harwell about what The Tennessean is reporting, but that type of conclusion is clearly premature," Dean said in an emailed statement. "A decision on The Amp should only be made when you have all the facts and information."
That's not the message the administration has been sending to project skeptics, many of whom feel the bus has already left the station — albeit an attractive, fixed station with real-time arrival information (and self-service fare-collection kiosk). Indeed, after insisting that a decision about The Amp should only be made with "all the facts and information" at hand, Dean's statement actually went on to explain why one should support The Amp. In other words, while opposition is premature, there are clearly enough facts to inform your support.
Whether the Dean administration is failing to reel in big fish at the state level, or this particular pond has dried up, isn't clear. But while Harwell is not without substantive reasons for opposition — among them her constituents and the project's price tag — the Nashville Republican may also have more pragmatic motives. After all, her House caucus is filled with mad-dog conservatives who might well beat down her door if she supported a blue-city transit project.
Whatever the case, state support for The Amp is not materializing. Nashville Democratic Sen. Doug Henry told the Scene last week that he would withhold judgment until state transportation officials weighed in. Nashville Republican Sen. Steve Dickerson, meanwhile, said he has not taken a firm position but noted opposition from many constituents.
Dickerson also said he has "some reservations about whether this project, at this time, in this location, is the right thing." What's more, he added that he hadn't been contacted by the mayor or the city about The Amp. (A quick detour: If this is true, how is is it possible that a Nashville state senator, whose constituency apparently has qualms about the project, has not received a phone call from the mayor's office?)
But there are more speed humps still. Asked where Gov. Bill Haslam stands on the state contributing $35 million to The Amp, Haslam spokesman Dave Smith noted that as budget hearings get underway this week, "there are a number of projects under review." At the same time, though, he referred a reporter to a recent story in which state Department of Transportation Commissioner John Schroer discussed the years-long backlog of road projects and increasingly limited transportation dollars coming out of Washington, D.C. Smith also noted the recent release of the state's October revenues, which fell below projections.
The mayor's office says it has not yet made a funding request with the state. Facts and information, you know.
"A year ago, we updated TDOT on our bus rapid transit project, and TDOT responded with support but no commitment on the amount of funding. Our project team continues to talk often with TDOT and its engineering department," Dean spokeswoman Bonna Johnson tells the Scene. "We expect to make a funding request once we are further along the design phase so that TDOT will have more information about the project and how it will work along what is a state route."
If state funding is withheld, The Amp's backers do not see it as a fatal blow. The mayor has said the project will not go forward without the $75 million Metro seeks from the federal government. He's made no such statement about the state funds.
But how the project will move forward without state help is a difficult question. The $35 million funding hole could seemingly be filled by cutting the route or asking the Metro Council for more money — or both. (For the purposes of this discussion, we'll assume the council will approve Metro's $51.5 million portion of the funding, because for the purposes of any discussion, we assume the council intends to approve things.)
Yet even if these doubts don't hurt the project's chances of securing federal funding, they can't help. An answer from the feds won't come until next year. Back in May, Nashville Congressman Jim Cooper said he doubted there would be federal funding available for the project. Now Cooper tells the Scene that he supports The Amp.
But the mayor's office had better hope that discussion over Thanksgiving dinner doesn't sway him. One of Cooper's brothers is sporting a red Stop Amp sign in his yard.

"Listen to the book -Watch the Documentary"
After listening to the book I watched Restrepo the documentary film based on the book. Then I listened to the book again and enjoyed it even more!
"Surprised this did not seem dated."
A great listen and a good reminder of how thin the line is between society and chaos.
"Good Story with a unique approach"
I enjoyed the unique approach to the well worn zombie genre. Really nice narration by Eva Amurri. Here character voices were consistent and on target.

Just bought this jack to use at home. I have a 2009 Lexus IS350 and a 2002 quad cab Ram 1500 4x4 (stock suspension). It's low enough to fit under the Lexus and has enough lift range to get the truck off the ground. The two-piece handle is the weakest part of this jack because of the way the pieces connect but it's serviceable. It will reach the height of the bottom of your vehicle within 3 pumps. The catch is that with the jack in place under most vehicles you won't get a full range of motion with the handle so you'll have to work it a few more times. This is common sense but people seem to forget it and then complain about rapid lift jacks not getting the vehicle in the air after three pumps. Buy this jack with confidence.

By go2gast

Fits under my C4 Corvette and lifts to a good height. Seems well made. I like the rapid pump feature and the rubber handle cover. It does bleed down a little, but not enough to be a problem.
Works Great on a Wide Variety of Vehicle

About Me Professional
Funny the last reviewer mentioned his XJ-S, I have a 1996 Celebration Edition 2+2 XJS Convertible V12 Sportspack car with the ground effects and lower suspension and needed a jack that could get under it yet also lift tall 4x4's and farm equipment and this one works great for all of that. Beought two of them at the same time and they are working fanatastic. One of the best Jack's we've ever had. Our old jacks was much taller when all the way down so rubbed the underbody of low sports cars with ground effects and yet still wasn't as tall fully raised as these are. They are heavy though but then we didn't intend to carry them around, we have an aluminum racing jack for that. We keep these in our shop.
Fits under Jaguar XJ-S V12
By RB_Jaguar
from San Diego, CA
Very nice floor jack! Maximum height of jack body (over the rear castors) is a low 6.0". I use it to work on the underside of a 1987 Jaguar XJ-S V-12 (standard ride height / standard tires) which is a low and heavy car. It fits under the front lip and cross member (just). Once positioned and with a 2x4 to spread the load, its very easy to jack the front end and put on stands. The rear of the Jaguar is higher so there are no issues there. I use the technique described in the manual with two pads under the rear sub frame. It lifts the rear of the car easily also. Nice control - the car can be lowered slowly / safely to the ground or onto stands. Its big heavy jack and seems very stable. It lifts the car high enough for jobs I've done so far (brake flush / bleeding - I have not removed the rear sub-frame). When lifting the front or rear, the jack is quite a ways under the car. Its not possible to move the handle through the full stroke so it takes more than 3 pumps to lift, which is very reasonable. Overall a great floor jack. At less than $100 its a bargain.
My first floor jack
By True Patriot
from Mason, OH
After years of lifting cars with scissor or bottle jacks, I had to drop a gas tank from my Jeep TJ Wrangler to replace a skid plate. I purchased the jack on sale a few weeks back, and deciding that winter was about to set in, went and rented a transmission jack, and using my floor jack to raise the Wrangler onto a pair of Harbor Freight stands (purchased years ago), I unbolted, disconnected, and lowered the tank and skidplate with relative ease using the rented tranny jack.After replacing the skid plate, the assembly would not fit neetly under the raised rear end on stands, so once again, I raised it with the floor jack, and rolled the assembly on tranny jack back into place. Once in position, I slowly lowered the vehicle, and raised the tank assembly. After reconnecting lines and electrical, a brief period of alignment, I set the rear nuts, and gave the tranny jack an extra half pump. When I went to the forward three studs, they were all neatly passing through the holes on the skid plate flange, waiting for me to hand, then wrench tighten the nuts.Finally, all that was left was a final lift to remove the jack stands, and the Jeep was ready for service. I wish I had had a jack like this for years. All of those brake jobs, and drive train repairs... well they would have gone much quicker. I look forward to future events and having a need to use this jack.

Big jack fits in tight places
By Hot Rod
from NJ
This fits under my low Firebird and can still raise my Jeep GC! Handle doubles as a cheater bar when life gets tough. My neighbor says it's too heavy for him to borrow, not that he knows how to use it anyway. This jack goes all night, never had a problem getting the load up or back down. Even the box was hardcore, but I pulled it out and started using it right away. Smooth movement, no fluid leaks, didn't have to add any lube, no repairs done. The wheels are wide enough not to dig into pavement, but I carry it around the garage just because I can. Always use jackstands.

Low Profile lifted Printing Press!
By oldseagull
from Chester VA
Fantastic lift available with this jack, plus I even removed the "saddle" using 10mm hex wrench, gave me even lower profile to lift at certain spots under a 2500 lbs printing press - it lifted all great, a job well done. No sweat, the jack did all the work.

Excellent range of motion
By Grabber
from Seattle WA
I struggled for half an hour deciding to buy this over one of the aluminum racing jacks. I am glad I did because of the great range of motion, especially the minimum height. The downside is that it very heavy. However it is actually not bad carrying because the front wheel axle makes a carrying handle.

Plasmid carriage requires appropriate expression of the genes on the plasmid or host chromosome through cooperative transcriptional regulation. To clarify the impact of plasmid carriage on the host chromosome, we compared the chromosomal RNA maps of plasmid-free and plasmid-containing host strains using the incompatibility group P-7 archetype plasmid pCAR1, which is involved in carbazole degradation, and three distinct Pseudomonas strains. The possession of pCAR1 altered gene expression related to the iron acquisition systems in each host. Expression of the major siderophore pyoverdine was greater in plasmid-containing P. putida KT2440 and P. aeruginosa PAO1 than in the plasmid-free host strains, in part due to the expression of carbazole-degradative genes on pCAR1. The mexEFoprN operon encoding an efflux pump of the resistance-nodulation-cell division family was specifically upregulated by the carriage of pCAR1 in P. putida KT2440, whereas the expression of orthologous genes in the other species remained unaltered. Induction of the mexEFoprN genes increased the resistance of pCAR1-containing KT2440 to chloramphenicol compared with pCAR1-free KT2440. Our findings indicate that the possession of pCAR1 altered the growth rate of the host via the expression of genes on pCAR1 and the host chromosomes.
