Author details fight to save a mountain

The ancients once believed that the world was flat. It was not, but could yet be made flat by the actions of man.
Editor's note:
This book review is a new monthly feature produced by the members of the program committee of Blue Ridge Bookfest. The reviews will feature authors with ties to Western North Carolina.
This true story, concerns a several-year fight initiated in 1999 by the residents of Western North Carolina's high-mountain Avery County to prevent the leveling of Belview Mountain near Dog Town. This mountain is situated little more than a mile from one of the most scenic sections of our national treasure, the Appalachian Trail, where the tail crosses Hump Mountain.
The fight began when the Clark Stone Co. acquired a 99-year lease on a 151-acre site with plans to blast the rock from the mountain. The rock was to be removed from the mountain for use in road building and construction projects across the region. Over the years, the mountain would essentially have been leveled, and the pristine trout streams would have become clogged with rock dust. To remove the rock, the operation would involve blasting, a mammoth shovel, crushing, sorting, washing and transporting on roads cut into the mountain.
Those most affected would, of course, be those living in the shadow of the operation. The noise and dust would be a seven-day-a-week problem that would destroy the mountain and the serenity their families had enjoyed for generations in that pristine, natural setting.
The property owners closest to the mining operation needed help to organize and conduct this fight. They recruited the author of this book, Jay Erskine Leutze, to their cause.
Leutze was a young law school graduate who had relocated to their community to live a simple and quiet life. He wanted to write, hike and trout fish. He had not moved into the cabin-style home given to him by his mother with the expectation of leading this or any fight. When the local people approached him, he found he could not say no. Their cause was too important. It became his cause, and he put his whole being into it.
The tactics employed by the mining company were nefarious and involved many marginal and illegal actions.
From the initial failure to conduct public hearings to the overt disregard for environmental regulations, the mining company did as it pleased.
They had the money and the connections needed to get the mine operating. Regulators in Raleigh seemed more interested in looking out for the interests of the mining industry than those of the local citizens and the regional and national conservation groups the residents were ultimately able to recruit to the cause.
Years were spent in hearings and courtrooms in an underfunded battle to save the mountain. This fight had as many twists and turns, ups and downs, as the mountains themselves. The outcome was always in doubt until a final judgment was issued by the North Carolina Court of Appeals. This review of "Stand Up That Mountain" will not disclose the outcome in order to preserve the suspense that makes this book so important.
Many books written on environmental and conservation topics are written by outsiders who view the fight retrospectively and from a safe distance. Not this one. Leutze lived it a day at a time. He invested major portions of his life and his limited finances. He wrote about the experience only after being convinced to do so when the fight was over.
He wrote with respect and affection about the local citizens who first recruited him to their cause and who stayed at his side until the end. He fought with passion but managed to maintain the "we may lose or we may win" reality so necessary for the leaders of worthy causes. Absent that reality, he could have lead all those involved in fighting it over an emotional cliff.
This book should be read by all those who believe in, support or choose to lead similar causes.
Bill Ramsey, the author of two books, is a member and past chairman of the program committee for the Blue Ridge Bookfest, an annual event in Henderson County "Where Readers Meet Writers." This year's event is set for May 17-18 at Blue Ridge Community College. For details, visit www.blueridgebookfest.org.

The office could theoretically be abolished, as the Washington Constitution specifically allows the legislature to take such a step at its discretion.
Current officer
The 15th and current lieutenant governor is Brad Owen, a Democrat elected in 1996, 2000, 2004, and 2008.
His wife, Linda Owen, is the Second Lady of Washington.
The state Constitution addresses the office of the governor in Article III, the Executive.
Under Article III, Section 2:
The executive department shall consist of a governor, lieutenant governor... |
In order to be eligible for the office of lieutenant governor, a candidate must be :
- a citizen of the United States
- a qualified elector of the state of Washington
- See also: Gubernatorial election cycles by state
- See also: Election of lieutenant governors
Washington elects lieutenant governors in the Presidential elections, that is, in leap years. For Washington, 2004, 2008, 2012, and 2016 are all gubernatorial election years. For Washington, 2006, 2010, 2014, and 2018 are all gubernatorial election years. Legally, the lieutenant gubernatorial inauguration is always set for noon on the second Monday in January following the election. Thus, January 14, 2013 and January 14, 2019 are inaugural days.
By law, lieutenant governors are elected in separate elections from governors in both the primary and general elections. This means it is possible to have a partisan split in the Executive office.
The lieutenant governor of Washington is elected in a direct election—the candidate with the most votes becomes lieutenant governor. In the event that two candidates receive an equal number of votes which is higher than that received by any other candidate, the members of the state legislature vote between the two at their next session.
Details of vacancies are addressed under Article V, Sections 7 and 8.
A vacancy in the office is filled by a gubernatorial nomination.
The Lieutenant Governor is the first officer in the line of succession in the event of the Governor's death, resignation, removal, absence, or inability to serve.
She is the President of the Washington State Senate and takes on other duties as assigned by law or as delegated by the Governor.
The lieutenant governor's pay is set by law and may not be increased or diminished effective during the current term.
As of 2010, the lieutenant governor is paid $93,948 a year.

All of the faculty are well informed on current developments. We bring that into the classroom and mix that with the content you need to know if you want to work in the business. You need to know about legal aspects, business start-ups, and have a very keen eye on where technology change is taking the business." Elizabeth Allison Associate Professor, Music Education email@example.com | 617 747-8899 "I had the opportunity to audition for a performance job at Old Sturbridge Village, which is a living history museum in Sturbridge, Massachusetts. I worked there both in a solo capacity and performing in small ensemble groups. I did recordings of early American folk music, specifically ladies' parlor ballads. The more I worked in that genre, the more interested I became in how women work in music and how folk music is such a powerful influence in so many women's lives. It was a way for women to express themselves, and it became a way for me to express myself, as well, and to sing, which is important to me." Jennifer Andrews Assistant Professor, Liberal Arts email@example.com | 617 747-2737 M.F.A., University of Pittsburgh Published in local and national newspapers and magazines Darol Anger Associate Professor, Strings firstname.lastname@example.com | 617 747-2328 "We have students coming from a classical music background who are interested in playing various vernacular styles—jazz and fiddle music, blues, pop—and then we also have fiddle players who learned by ear or through various traditional routes and who are interested in expanding their theoretical knowledge. That's two very different approaches, although after a couple of years it all evens out. Usually they wind up expanding their taste buds a little bit, so they're interested in more styles. There's a string style for every country, usually four or five." Jason Anick Instructor, Strings email@example.com | 617 747-6243 "When I teach students jazz I always encourage them to learn from other musicians in their ensembles, or give them suggestions for records to listen to and solos to transcribe, or encourage them to play with different instruments. That's how I learned. That's what worked for me. I try not to overwhelm them with harmonic concepts at first but instead help them build a solid foundation and understanding of what the music is all about." Tom Appleman Assistant Professor, Bass firstname.lastname@example.com | 617 747-8498 "We play a lot of current pop hits, and I bring those tunes into class and show my students what's coming through the Top 40 market. I show them what people like to hear at bars, what people like to dance to, and what songs are the big hits at night. I also bring in songs from the past 20 years, songs that people know, and we really look at the music so the students can understand the songs on a different level. We do a lot of singing in class, a lot of rhythm. I'll have some music playing in the background and I'll point to certain rhythms, and the students will clap over the consistent beat that's going on in the background." Rick Applin Professor, Composition email@example.com | 617 747-8103 "Love of music is our common bond in all my classrooms. With the education majors, it's love of teaching as well. In my tonal harmony course for education majors, we role play in our third hour: I become a high school student with the rest of the class, and one of the class members teaches. I show my students that you can maintain a certain degree of informality that is nevertheless infused with a sense of respect for the institution, for the teacher, and for the classroom." John Arcaro Assistant Professor, Piano firstname.lastname@example.com | 617 747-8104 "How to inspire a student—or whether I'm even supposed to inspire—is always a mystery. Sometimes I just play for them and that gets them excited. I also try to go hear my students perform, and go out of my way to give them positive feedback, because we're all our own harshest critics." Abigail Aronson Professor, Guitar firstname.lastname@example.com | 617 747-8269 "A lot of times I work with students at identifying scales, chords, and improvisation approaches by ear while we're learning the fingerings and theory. Many people find it refreshing to increase their confidence about what things sound like, as opposed to being sure of having them under their hands or recognizing them on a page. In my own playing, I often sing and play in unison or octaves when I improvise on guitar or bass." Arleen Arzigian Assistant Professor, Liberal Arts firstname.lastname@example.com | 617 747-6047 "I think the faculty at Berklee are very engaged individually with the students, because a lot of what the students do is more creative, more individualized. I think people are more receptive to letting the students be a little freer. I have them do a presentation using visuals, or videos and visuals. They will often incorporate music into the presentations. They get very, very creative." ‹ previous 2 of 66 next ›

While you may only know them for their mountain bikes, Diamondback has been making huge strides in developing their road offering as well. The result of this push is the Podium series carbon fiber frame. The Podium frame is hand made using Diamondback's Advanced Monocoque Molding Process that ensures that each piece of carbon ply is laid precisely where it needs to be to provide exceptional stiffness and durability, without using excess material that will weigh the bike down. Diamondback makes their own carbon sheets in house from the latest MR60 and HR40 fibers produced by carbon fiber leader Mitsubishi Rayon Co. Ltd. and also the industry workhorse T700 fibers by Toray Industries Inc. due to their high tensile and modulus strength. This allows the engineers at Diamondback to have complete control of the quality of their materials and allows them to use less material in the frame, to keep weight low, without sacrificing stiffness or durability. The Podium frame uses the latest in cycling technology including a 1.5" tapered headtube that creates a stronger and stiffer front end and the Press-Fit BB30 bottom bracket standard that minimizes the overall weight of the bike while increasing the stiffness of the bottom bracket region. The Podium also features carbon fiber drop outs and internal cable routing for a clean, uncluttered finish that also improves aerodynamics.
Built up with Shimano's revolutionary Ultegra Di2 electronic group, the Podium 6 would be right at home amongst the pro peloton. With the flick of a button Ultegra Di2 lets you make perfect shifts every time, even under extreme load, something no mechanical drivetrain can boast. Battery life is estimated at minimum 1,250 miles per charge so you aren't limited and a handy LED power indicator near the handlebars lets you see your battery status so you know when to charge.

"Anything Goes" traces the life and career of John Barrowman, from his Glaswegian childhood and American adolescence to his first big break starring alongside Elaine Paige in "Anything Goes". Since then, John has made a name for himself with outstanding West End achievements, including an Olivier Award nomination, and success in the movies the "Producers" and "De-Lovely". His triumphant transition into television was confirmed when "Torchwood" won a Best Drama BAFTA. John also lays bare his personal life: his emigration as a child, coming out to his family and his 2006 civil partnership with long-term boyfriend Scott Gill. "Anything Goes" is revelatory and insightful, told with real heart and characteristic Barrowman charm. This is a wonderful tale of how one boy achieved his dreams.
You can buy Anything Goes from Amazon in the UK by clicking the Anything Goes: The Autobiography link.

by Buck Pomerantz Win the battle for great sound in your ride. Sound Ordnance amplifiers feature tough construction, rugged looks, and a 3-year warranty, so you can enjoy the full power of your music for the long haul. Even better, you can add Sound Ordnance to your arsenal at a surprisingly affordable price. The Sound Ordnance M-2250 2-channel amplifier deploys 175 watts RMS to each channel, giving your music plenty of firepower. Or you can bridge the M-2250 to mobilize 500 watts RMS to your sub. An adjustable high-pass filter makes sure your full-range speakers operate within their optimum range and give you the best tone possible. If you're driving a sub, the variable bass boost and low-pass filter allow you to control your bass barrage at will. The M-2250 amplifier uses sophisticated power supply and output technologies to ensure clean amplification from the inputs all the way to your speakers. Special circuits protect the amp from overheating and short circuits, and a turn-on delay virtually eliminates that annoying thump when you crank up your system. Although this amplifier has a port for a remote control built in, it's not functional, and a remote controller for this amp is not available. Product Highlights:2-channel car amplifier175 watts RMS x 2 at 4 ohms (250 watts RMS x 2 at 2 ohms)500 watts RMS x 1 bridged at 4 ohms (4-ohm stable bridged)variable high- and low-pass filters (40-300 Hz, 12 dB/octave)variable bass boost (0-12 dB at 45 Hz)PWM (pulse width modulation) power supply with MOSFET outputpreamp inputs and outputsfuse rating: 25A x 28-gauge power and ground leads recommended wiring and hardware not included with amplifier15-3/4"W x 2-1/8"H x 9-13/16"Dwarranty: 3 yearsOur 60-day money-back guarantee My system has plenty of power. Who needs an amp? You might think you don't need an amp because you have a 400-watt system in your car, or because your new stereo puts out 50 watts a channel. But those are peak wattage ratings, which may boil down to 15 or 20 watts per channel, using the more realistic RMS rating. An amp sends your speakers the power they need to deliver your music with clarity and impact, whether you're using factory speakers or high-performance components. And low-frequency reproduction requires lots of power, so an amp is an absolute must if you're adding a sub to your system.
Great Amp for a low price Written By Mark, Florida on Tuesday, March 31, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Wanting to do something big on a small budget? This is the amp for you. It pushes and sounds just as good as many other more costly amps. I have it bridged puching an 8" Bazooka. The bass is clear and load. So far all of my friends are very impressed by the sound. (I haven't told them how much I paid.) Pros: Great sound and power. Can't beat the price Cons: The plastic used for the mounting can break.
Awesome in a box! Written By Robert, Douglas, WY. on Tuesday, March 10, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Bought this amp with the bandpass box and was skepical only because of the name brand. I have loved the sound from the install and would happily outfit my vehicle with all Sound Ordnance speakers and amps. Sound is amazing and amp powers subs with plenty of bass to spare! In fact i have to turn it down. Pros: Easy install. Clear insrtuctions. Cons: No remote; But my deck does control the bass so I really do not need one.

Another thing that caught my eye was that it looked pretty sharp when I opened the box Pros: -Cheap -Clean look -Sounds great with my BT1014 bass tubes Cons: Slightly bigger than my old one

POWER! Written By Walter, Santa Rosa Beach, Fl on Wednesday, January 07, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Running two 2250's and one 2100 in my semi. These amps are well built. They have held up to the extremes over the road without any problems. Very easy to install and plenty of power to spare. Very pleased with the sound quality of these amps. User recommended! Pros: Easy to install, sound and power Cons: Large footprint
Sound Ordnance M-2250 Written By Anonymous, St. Joseph, MI on Tuesday, December 16, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great amp for the money!

Sound Ordnance M-2250 Written By SRL, Germantown, MD. on Thursday, November 06, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The Sound Ordnance M-2250 is a great two channel amplifier. Bought this to replace an amp that was quite a bit more expensive. The sound quality is excellent and the power is fantastic. Price is great for the high quality of the sound and power, I recommend this amp for two channel music.

M-2250 Written By Scott, MD on Tuesday, July 22, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Good sounding amp. Used to drive 2 Kenwoods from a less than stellar head unit and was impressed with the sound and performance difference the amp made. Good amp for the money. Pros: Good product for the cost.

Ok for the price, I returned it. Old school amp better Written By Old TimerStereo, Aiken , SC on Friday, April 25, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) OK amp for the price but couldn't use as my old school Autotek 7050 BTS ( 22 x 2 @ 4 ohms ) was 4 db louder and hit much harder with 2 Alpine Type S 12" Subs in 1.25ft3 per side sealed box and lots of acoustic filler inside. My Autotek was probably around 200-250 watts mono as it is an old school cheater amp. Still, 500 watts should have been at least as good and was no where near. I used to compete back in the late 80's and early 90's. For the cheap price it is ok and would probably be better for a pair of 88 to 90 db efficiency 10's. I returned it since my old amp was much better. The return process was quick and easy and only cost a flat $10 for the return label. I have bought from Crutchfield since the early 90's. You get what you pay for. If all you got is this much then it is not bad for the $$. My Autotek was $600 back in 1989. Probably isn't fair to compare a competition amp to a consumer amp. For just good bass it will do but for really loud bass go with a high dollar name brand. Power cost $$$$$$$. Pros: Cheap, sounds ok . Looks impressive Cons: big, not a high currant type amp. Probably great with 10's given the low price.
M2250 Written By DaVaile, San Diego, CA on Saturday, March 15, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Whoa!!!!!!!!!.... This coupled with the Sound Ordnance B-24= Wow. Really powerful loud and clean bass. Also cant beat the price....... I Love Crutchfield
Sound Ordnance M-2250 amp Written By Chance, Granbury, TX on Friday, December 27, 2013 I have a 1998 Grand Marquis and I was cautious putting this with my 2 Memphis PR 10's in a ported pro box and WOW!!!! this amp makes my subs pound harder than any 12's I've heard in awhile. This amp is very reliable looks great makes the subs sound great and wont break the bank to buy. I will definitely have sound ordnance in my mind whenever I need any more car audio. Pros: great price, great amp and well worth the money Cons: little big but that's my only complaint
Nice amp Written By Anonymous, Oxford mi on Friday, November 15, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This amp rocks. My second sound ordinance amp. Highly recommend.
Great Product Written By Alex W, Marquette, MI on Sunday, September 29, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The M-2250 looks fantastic and provides more than enough wattage for my 12" Rockford Power Subwoofer. Everywhere I go people ask me about it, and want to hear it. Pros: Looks great, Easy setup, Good power, and adds to your cars character. Cons: Only turns on with the radio if you attach it to the power FM antenna wire...
Bang for your buck Written By Kb, Carlsbad, CA on Tuesday, September 24, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) While I'm happy with this amp, there are a few things it could do better. For starters, the size seems a bit large in comparison to other 500 watt amps I've had in the past. Also, the lip that extends over the leads for the power/ground makes it a bit if a challenge to secure your wiring. Also, it is difficult to adjust the amp, because the knobs are flush with surface of the amp. Not major issues, but seemingly easy fixes. Pros: Good sound at a very affordable price. Cons: Some functionality sacrificed for appearance.
Sound Ordnance M-2250 Amp Written By 73 CJ5, Virginia on Monday, September 02, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is the second SO amp I have purchased from Crutchfield. Packaged together with a good head unit and quality speakers, you have a system that's very impressive. Mounted the amp directly under the driver's side seat and it fit perfectly. Pros: Pros are: Price, good specs, looks good if you should mount it where it would be visible. Could be an easy install determined by available space. I mounted it on a plate close under the driver's seat, off the floor and out of sight. Cons: No cons
Sound Ordnance M-2250 Written By Anonymous, Brooklyn,New York on Sunday, July 14, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought two Sound Ordnance Amps the M4100 and M2250. The 2250 i used it to power my two alpine type r subs. Well lets just say the amp looks good, it does get hot, and its BIG. But overall it doesn't have enough power to give for the subs to hit hard. So I returned it so now I'm just waiting for another M4100 to use as a 2-channel to power the subs. Lets see how that goes. Pros: Nice Look Cons: Its BIG, not enough power for a pair of subs, and vents are on the bottom (WHY?)
M 2250 Written By Joe, Milwaukee,WI on Tuesday, July 09, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was refereed this amp by Crutchfield staff and could not be happier. It does exactly what I needed it to do. Pros: Price is right and easy to hook up. Cons: None

Sound Ordnance M-2250 Amplifier Written By Brian, Warren, OH on Monday, April 29, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Serves its purpose 100% and delivers clean unadulterated signal without power-drain when used properly with a 1.0 MicroFarad capacitor. 5 stars. Pros: Easy install, affordable, sleek and slim, serves its purpose perfectly. Cons: BIG DEAL HERE: Factory in-the-box comes with the bass boost already at +12db!! TURN THIS OFF before install, you have the immediate potential to damage your output audio equipment.
Sound Ordnance M-2250 Written By Nick, Hastings MI on Friday, April 05, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Unfortunately didn't even have enough power to push my 2 12 Inch infinities subs.had to return. bought a Kenwood amp instead, satisfied to say the least. Cons: Not much power. Connectors are plastic. Vents Are On Bottom Of Amp.
So much power! Written By Proboscis, Henning, TN on Wednesday, April 03, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought one that was scratch and dent. You can not beat the price for this powerhouse! I have one Memphis 12 in a sealed box in the trunk of my Infiniti. With the gain halfway, the bass is deep and smooth with the sub flexing hard. I smell sawdust sometimes after listening to rap. Lol! Pros: Lots of power and a 3 year warranty Cons: I wish the RCA hookup was on the same side as the power hookup. And the amp is rather large.
Power Written By Tony, St. Charles, MO on Monday, March 25, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) It has enough power to rattle the entire car, and it sounds awesome. My wifes last amp shot craps and this one is so much better and cheaper price was nice Pros: Easy hook up, Cons: none

Pros: perfect Cons: perfect
Worth it without a doubt so far... Written By p, PA on Wednesday, January 16, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Just finished installing this about a week ago - it's currently powering a pair of image dynamics chameleon components rated at 125rms a piece- it sounds marvelous with the gain not even half way up. I have absolutely no complaints regarding quality or anything like that. I just hope the amp lasts a long time. Pros: Great sound, cheap price (I got it when it was on sale for 100 bucks), the terminals use philips set style screws so you dont need to go searching through your allen key collection to find the "right" size. Cons: the only complain I have- is that I had to remove the shiny plastic end pieces because of my particular mounting set up- I couldn't get at any of the terminals while they were on there, so I had to wire up the whole amp before I could mount it... wasn't that bad, just thought i might be worth mentioning if you have spatial constraints regarding its mount set up and whatnot...

bad fn a Written By Anonymous, roundup montana on Wednesday, September 05, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) used set to bridged and mono to power a single kenwood 10 in a vented box in an extended cab truck, all i can say is wow. deffinately surprised with the output and features for sound settings. I've shopped around and returned many this one is deffinately a keeper. BAD FN A. and for the price your probably not going to find a better deal.
Sound Ordnance M-2250 Written By kii, albuquerque nm on Monday, May 21, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) this amp rocks! from the moment i opened the package i was impressed , the price is excellent for the quality of the amp, the desighn of the packaging n thoroughness of the manual n related items tells me theres been some actually investment in R&D, im using it bridged in mono and the amp has plenty of power and actually more than i need for my 1 12" sub ,. really brought out the impact of the sub to my system and im very happy with the amp. Pros: plenty of power, flexibility control options, crossover, bridgeable etc... Cons: the mounting tabs are a little weak, but if you take youre time and properly install the amp i dont see a problem.
Solid built powerful amp Written By James, Grand Blanc, MI on Friday, March 30, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value This amp packs a punch when bridged. I have it hooked up to the B-24 subs and they sound more powerful now. I was using a 500watt mono amp for them, but it only put out 150watts at 4 ohm. I had it tuned (m-2250) perfectly in less than 5 minutes. Pros: powerful when bridged for 500 watts Cons: the plastic screws for the adjustments (ie: gain, lpf,hpf) are a soft plastic and strip easily, so make sure to use a proper sized philips tip screwdriver
POWERFUL!! Written By Darren, Augusta,GA on Tuesday, March 27, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) High quality amp when adjusted properly. Gets real hot, but what amp doesn't.. Warning: You may have to call customer service when installing due to instructions conflicting with actual locations of knobs and adjusting screws (mislabeled). Good looking amp too. Pros: solid quality Cons: mislabeled adjusting knobs/screws
Boom! Written By Mark, Oswego NY on Wednesday, August 31, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Replaced Alpine m500 & Alpine 10" Type R with the SO B-24 box & the SO 2250 amp and all I can say is WOW.. The bass is amazing.. This thing booms and the speakers aren't even moving.. The box fits perfect in my 2010 Nissan Altima Sedan's trunk like it was made for it. Product quality is superb in my opinion... Oh and my head unit is a Sony XAV 72BT. I was a little unhappy reguarding the amp, came dented and scratched but still works...
great amp for the price Written By jdep, ohio on Friday, June 24, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This amp is very solid, and well built. powered right up with no problems. definatly puts out the advertised power. Amp gets pretty warm during solid use, but not alarmingly hot. be sure to put in an open area if not a ventilated one. bass boost is nice, not a locked in 6 or 12 dbs, fully adjustable with a screw identical to gain or crossover adjustments. end caps ARE plastic, coated with chrome, be careful securing it down. hookup was easy and staight forward. all in all a very solid purchase at a good price.
Awesome for the price Written By C McFarland, MF, Ohio on Sunday, April 24, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was looking for a decently priced amp that gave enough juice to get two 12s thumping. I'm currently running this amp, non-bridged, and it gives an incredible amount of bass out of the two subs. Will probably buy a second one soon. Great buy if you're not looking to break the bank for good sub-power.
awesome Written By noem, harlingen,tx on Tuesday, February 22, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) this little amp is awesome,had my doubts at first but when installed, it booms.have this one hooked up to s/o bandpass box w/12s and it really bumps.will recommend these products to all my friends
Sounds great, easy hookup. Written By Sean P., Traverse City, MI on Saturday, February 05, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Bought this in January, with the free wiring kit it came with. Install was easy, and the controls on it are simple. It's powering my Rockford Fosgate P2L 212s, and it makes them sound fantastic. Lots of power for not a lot of price. There's no remote for it, even though it has a spot to put one; Not enough to mark this down a star. Sold out 4 days after I bought it, speaks for itself.
Sound Ordnance M-2250 Written By Nick A, Columbus, Ohio on Thursday, January 20, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have this amp powering the Sound Ordnance B-24's. This amplifier is great and is handling the cold winter in Columbus, Ohio like a beast. Sound Ordnance is great stuff!
Clean power Written By Will, Savannah, Ga on Wednesday, December 08, 2010 I have this powering my Sound Ordnance B-24 the amp gets the job done with ease. There are however three issues that made me go 4 stars instead of 5. 1st as mentioned before the end are plastic ( cosmetic ) 2nd There are vents on the bottom of the amp and when it is mounted blocking these vents it seems to get very warm. Once I mounted it with air flow pass both top and bottom of the amp it runs cool. 3rd There is a place for a remote although Crutchfield does not carry one for it.
Good Value Written By Deggy, Madison, WI on Tuesday, November 23, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have had the M-2250 for 3 months now. I have it bridged to run 500w rms @ 4ohm. It is hooked up to the SO B-24 2-12" bandpass box. HOLY CRAP! A Very nice combo. - Lots of power for the price. - Love the look of it. - Good screw-clamping connectors for power wires. - I have not yet experienced clipping at high volume. (But I'll keep trying!) - I like the little Sound Ordnance dog tags that they send with it. - At normal volume levels, the amp does not get hot, yet still provides good bass. - After pushing it really hard for 30 minutes, the amp was quite warm. It didn't 'burn' my hand, but I wouldnt want to hold it there for very long. - When really pushing it, it makes my lights dim a little, which is to be expected with AB class amps. Time to get a capacitor. - Others have commented on the plastic end caps? Well, I'm pretty sure they are metal, cuz when I was screwing in the power cables, I touched the end cap and it arced n sparked, so be careful. - The amp seems to have a spot to plug in a remote bass boost control, yet Crutchfield Advisor say there is not one compatible with it. Overall, the value for the price is excellent, hence the 5 star rating. If it cost over $300 like many 'name brand' amps with similar stats do, I may rate it slightly lower. The 3 year warranty is what sealed the deal for me. Despite the minor low points, I love this amp and would recommend it to anyone that wants high power rating for a low price.
Knock your socks off Written By Patrick, Berryville, VA on Friday, October 08, 2010 WOW, I have this amp powering up the B-24 Sub. Nothing better than getting a bass massage while driving down the road. I have moved this setup to a new car and still no problems. As noted above the ends are plastic and I wish they were metal. Easy install, Nice eye appeal, wonderful overall. I am sold on Sound Ordnance. This amp really hits hard. My Step-daughter was in the car and her hair was moving so much she had to put it in a pony tail.
Sound Ordnance M-2250 Written By Michael, Atlanta on Thursday, September 02, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I only have this turned up half way and it's more than enough for me. I'm running it bridged on the 2 Dual 12's that Crutchfield sells enclosed. Definitely turns heads. Great product
Awesome! Written By Alex, Ft. Worth, Texas on Sunday, March 07, 2010 I am using this to push the Sound Ordnance B-24's at 500W bridged. It's a beautiful amp in person, and fit nicely with my EA4200 behind the 12's in the trunk of a 97 accord. The amp doesn't seem to get hot, but it gets warm to the touch. No problems so far and makes the subs sound great! The only thing I wish was different was the metallic sides - they're plastic, not aluminum/metal.

I haven't tried the very latest release yet but I hope limbo works soon.
Opening client from the command line and forcing to update from menu helped.
I haven't tried the very latest release yet but I hope limbo works soon.
I tried Steam when it was in closed beta, it was horrible and cluttered up the whole home directory, i went so far as to remove it. Now i decided to try again as it enters public beta, and things are already much better. Nice one Valve, working to make real change happen!
Well all data is still in your home. Just the default download dir is not longer ~/Steam but ~/.local/share/Steam.
It follows xdg base dirs now? Nice.
It does not install on Debian AMD64 right now as libwayland0 is not yet properly multiarch, and also libjpeg8 and libpulse0 are named differently in Ubuntu.
Run my script as root and user then start it.
I can not see what you want with wayland. If you need mesa 9.0.1 as backport ask the irc://irc.freenode.net/#kanotix bot !mesa .
i don't want wayland, libwayland is just a dependance of libegl1-mesa (which it probably shouldn't be, but that is another issue).
I don't need a messy script that is going to do all kinds of things that I don't need. If libwayland wasn't an issue, I would just use force install to ignore the package name issue and be done.
Are there still naysayers on here that the Steam client is coming to Linux? LOL
I just played a bit of teamfortress 2 on linux
I found a few problems.
No sound, watching a vid in steam made the steam gui crash.
I could not quit the game, I had to use ctrl alt esc.
I posted the last two issues on the git hub.
Opensuse 12.2 64 bit
Hmm, I'm guessing that the issue is either the distro, or the sound server in use.
I've been running TF2 on my Ubuntu 12.10 x64 box this afternoon on the r600g driver (Radeon 6850 w/ git mesa/drm + drm-next kernel on the LLVM R600 backend). It could use a good amount of performance optimization (I'm assuming on the part of the driver), but it's running and stable, and my sound is functioning (pulse with motherboard-based audio).
I haven't yet managed to get the flash plugin working, so I haven't been able to watch any trailers in the Steam GUI.

Mar 3, 2015I really did not expect to enjoy this movie but well, it turned out I did! I don't really understand how people dislike Russell Crowe's performance but I thought it was great (then again, I don't know much about singing). All the songs were memorable, especially One Day More. I recommend for anyone who likes musicals or not!

Dec 4, 2014Even if it overstays its welcome, Tom Hooper's epic adaptation of the Hugo classic is remarkably well performed and finely staged with jaw-dropping sets and brilliant imagery.
Nov 13, 2014
Sep 2, 2014This is quite an incredible movie. Having never seen the play nor read the book (yet!), I thought this was a great film. It had great acting, beautiful songs, and a bittersweet plot. I really had no problem with the length because the movie had me so engrossed and entertained, and I was lost in the music. It's an absolutely amazing film.
Aug 24, 2014The bold, harsh emotion of the musical is certainly still present. Les Miserables suffers from one too many miscasts and a godawful performance from Russell Crowe as Javert. Nevertheless, Anne Hathaway gives the finest performance of her career to date--closely matched by an impeccable Samantha Barks.
Jul 30, 2014
Mar 25, 2014
Mar 4, 2014An absolutely wonderful movie! Very powerful, very touching and all-around extremely enjoyable! The songs are also very memorable and awesome! One of my favourite 2012 movies.
Mar 3, 2014
Jan 27, 2014
Dec 31, 2013Em certos pontos foi um bom filme, porém a direção incompressível detona um pouco filme, mais há pontos positivos, como sua fabulosa direção de arte e seus personagens e sua trilha sonora.
Dec 14, 2013
Nov 17, 2013Was all the singing really nesessary? No, with the budget that the director had, he should have made a proper epic. All the singing actually destracts from the story. As for the characters, this film would be falling apart if it were not for Crowe. Just a matter of personal opinion.
Oct 31, 2013
Oct 27, 2013i don´t know why people hate so much this film,it was a good adaptation of the vitor hugo book and there was a great prodution in this film so why the hell the critics aren´t giving good grades for this movie.
Oct 20, 2013when I finished watching this movie I did not know that was the rewarding feeling or was that a good movie or was because I hold an entire movie in which all the dialogues are sung
Sep 18, 2013Les Mis just whisks you away with its charm and dramatic characters. The singing is okay by the actors, but you have to give them credit, as they don't sing in movies often. Also, director Tom Hooper (The King's Speech) directs the movie in such a way that we are captivated by its awe and wonderment.
Sep 4, 2013the story is great, the picture is so good but I did not like the musical theme which the movie was based on! so I couldn't complete it until the end!
Sep 2, 2013I`m not a fan of musicals at all, so I watched this expecting to hate it, but I liked what it was all about. If you can get through the singing and focus on the story it`s a good watch.
Aug 28, 2013
Aug 22, 2013Well I haven't laughed that much for ages! Lots of good actors making fools of themselves. It's amazing that they all took on the project! Can't be enough scripts around I guess. Loved the Liam Neeson version, much much more entertaining.
Aug 16, 2013Didn't work for me. I preferred the 1998 distribution with Liam Neeson and Geoffrey Rush. Having said that, I did like "some" parts but I was mostly annoyed by the singing. Too much of it.
Aug 10, 2013
Aug 10, 2013Deep and strong theme. Unforgettable characters. Superb acting. Gorgeous photography.
The singing is a bit tiring sometimes, and renders the film slow at moments. Also, the fight scene at the barricades is awkward and not very well though out.
But other than that, loved it. -
Jul 21, 2013
Jun 20, 2013I think the film is best appreciated if you watch it like you were watching an opera. Of course, there are no "closeups" in opera, but the nonstop singing, the oversized emotions, the multiple deaths for hopeless and lost causes--these are truly the building blocks of grand opera. And from time to time Les Miserables really does earn the right to be compared to grand opera.
Jun 17, 2013A miserable attempt to adapt this beloved musical for a film audience. Don't get me wrong, I like Russel Crowe under proper direction and in the right role, but his performance in this film was absolutely dreadful.
Jun 15, 2013
Jun 13, 2013So I already hate musicals, and this one just confirms how awful they are. Anne whats her name is so bad it makes Vince Vaughn look like a good actor. Disgusting, boring, and just plain terrible.
Jun 9, 2013Les Miserables is one of the best musicals that I have ever seen. It is based on true story. The songs are very good, for example I like Javert. I really recommend this movie..
Jun 7, 2013the is the best big screen adaptation of a Broadway musical in 5 years. tom Hooper takes to preserve many of the great original moments for the show. Hugh Jackman is incredible as valjean and Anne Hathaway is heart wrenching as the tragic Fantine. It is stirring, sad, and thought provoking Victor Hugo would have been singing along too.
Jun 4, 2013"Les Mis is simply an astounding, captivating rendition of one of the most beloved musicals in history. Its not the best movie of the year but Filled with breathtaking performances, this three hour long spectacle is truly, what i like to say, incredible." A-
May 28, 2013
May 20, 2013Les Miserables is a powerful and depressing which is just what the adaptation needs. However, despite Anne Hathway great acting, Tom Hooper basically just made the musical with more awesome sound eits. So my message to this mixed film is, if you want to be a musical, then dammit Hooper make a freaking musical for crying out loud.
May 19, 2013This is a creative way to bring a musical to a film.Even though it's weird hearing all the diolage spoked though singing,it is a very beautiful well developed film.
May 18, 2013
May 16, 2013
May 14, 2013Great movie with awesome songs. It is the best musical of all time. It is filled with emotions that is very amusing. The ending almost made me want to cry. It is the best
May 12, 2013
May 8, 2013The only reason I do not give Les Miserables a 9 or a 10 is because I hate Musicals. The story was gripping, the cast phenomenal, the character development was excellent. It was an emotional film that made me shed a tear more than once.
Apr 29, 2013
Apr 29, 2013
Apr 21, 2013A beautiful, touching film with a wide and recognizable cast. Although the singing is slightly off at times, the atmosphere will sweep any doubts away.
Apr 18, 2013Les Miserables tells a simple and touching story, and although the film may not do it justice, there is certainly a beautiful element at its center that we would be fools to ignore.
Apr 16, 2013
Apr 13, 2013Les Misérables directed by Tom Hooper, a great movie, good interpreters, big emotions, good songs, very interesting movie, There are two impressive moments in which two actresses make a big test, beautiful scenery and beautiful picture, in short, I recommend the film, a lot of emotions this film.
Apr 13, 2013One of my most favorite movies of 2012 and worthy to be one of my favorite of all time. When first hearing about the film, I thought it would be overrated for being a Broadway production brought to the big screen, but I was definitely moved by the very memorable experience within the cast and wonderful music.
Apr 4, 2013I'm going to make this short and say les miserable is the best movie I've seen seen all of 2012 to me a definite 10 out of 10 definitely see this movie you wont regret it.

Mar 31, 2013
Mar 26, 2013Though I am not a fan of musicals, and though it took me a good 15 minutes into the film to adjust to the constant musical numbers, I became immersed into quite a theatrical experience I haven't felt in a long time (with an amazing line of acting from talented actors to support it). This movie will perhaps open my eyes and force me to reconsider the genre of musicals.
Mar 26, 2013It's a great movie one of the best of the year as it has all actors, music, production, love, everything I loved it and it was one of my favorites to win the Oscar for Best Picture.
Mar 25, 2013It's the one of the deepest movies I've seen. Although to speak by singing is a little bit frustrating I enjoyed it. The screenplay is incredibly nice, and the film has a special atmosphere, you must see it, must enjoy :D
Mar 24, 2013
Mar 24, 2013I saw the musical version of Les Miserables, it was very good and I enjoyed this movie. It is very long, almost three whole hours, I loved it and I think everyone will.
Mar 23, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
Mar 23, 2013I loved this movie especially the performances of Anne Hathaway and Hugh Jackman. The singing is well done even Russell Crowe, I know he's not as good as Hathaway or Jackman but I thought he was solid.
Mar 23, 2013
Mar 19, 2013
Mar 16, 2013That's the best musical ever with the role of Anne Hathaway portraying Fantine being one of the best roles in 2012 movies. Hugh Jackman has a nice voice.
Mar 2, 2013the only thing good about this movie is the performances of Anne Hathaway and Hugh Jackman, i hate it when all the movie is songs and there is not an actual dialogue, it gets boring
Feb 27, 2013
Feb 25, 2013such a touching movie. i cried from halfway all the way to the end. Eddie Redmayne and Amanda Seyfried work really well together and i am totally hooked on the songs from les mis. I think this movie deserves loads of awards and amanda and eddie should date (in my opinion)
Feb 23, 2013Hugh Jackman you deserve an Oscar for your performance "All Cast take a bow superb performances" Russell Crowe you where great as always singing was in character loved your portrayal
Feb 23, 2013The story is great, but I'm judging it as a musical and I will have to give it a 5/10. In general I found the songs ridiculous and weird, yes there were good ones such as the Susan Boyle song or the song about revolution, but the rest was plain songs filled with obvious rhymes and bad singers. I can't compare this movie to musicals such as Singing in The Rain, or The Phantom of Opera.
Feb 21, 2013
Feb 19, 2013
Feb 16, 2013A wonderful tribute to the 1982 French musical. And yes, time has passed since the 1980s and its torrents of emotion and tears but the initial concept is here, honored and magnified. Surely, one the best musical on screen after Moulin Rouge.
Feb 14, 2013

Feb 13, 2013
Feb 12, 2013
Feb 12, 2013Fabulous cinematography amazing acting (apart from Russell Crowe whose singing us abysmal) Hugh Jackman shines and Anne Hathaway us simply amazing. I did not expect to enjoy this movie but left the cinema completely in love with it
Feb 10, 2013
Feb 10, 2013Really brought 19th Century France to life. Having never watched the musical, I'm not able to compare it to that, but it seemed to be pretty good in its own right. Music was great although some of the actors were really straining to sing their parts at times.
Feb 10, 2013The whole movie is tedious. The singing was too much and acting was pretentious.
It's totally the opposite experience while I was watching Moulin Rouge. Moulin Rouge is way much better than Les Miserables. -

Occasionally, like its characters, ragged around the edges, this nevertheless rings with all the emotion and power of the source and provides a new model for the movie musical.
We're all familiar with the experience of seeing movies that cram ideas and themes down our throats. Les Misérables may represent the first movie to do so while also cramming us down the throats of its actors.
It's a relief to see Sacha Baron Cohen, in the role of a seamy innkeeper, bid goodbye to Cosette with the wistful words "Farewell, Courgette." One burst of farce, however, is not enough to redress the basic, inflationary bombast that defines Les Misérables. Fans of the original production, no doubt, will eat the movie up, and good luck to them. I screamed a scream as time went by.

Amazon is launching a new kids' entertainment service, just in time for that long holiday drive to grandma's house.
The new Kindle FreeTime Unlimited monthly service lets children aged 3 to 8 watch, read and play all the Cinderella and Thomas the Tank Engine videos, books and apps they can for a flat price starting at $2.99 per child for Amazon Prime members. Available starting today on the 7-inch display Kindle Fire and Kindle Fire HD models â?? and coming next week to the 8.9-inch Kindle Fire HD â?? the all-you-can-consume plan costs $4.99 per child or $9.99 per family for non-Prime members (Prime members get a $6.99 monthly family rate).
The curated content includes movies, TV episodes, games, educational apps and books from Disney, Nickelodeon, PBS, Sesame Workshop and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. "It's a lot of work for parents and the rate of error is pretty high when you are going out to get this content," says Peter Larsen, Amazon Kindle Fire vice president.
Rented individually, a movie on Amazon may cost $4, while TV episodes may be $1.99 each. Within a month, a child could easily consume up to $50 in content, if rented separately. "We think it's an unbelievable deal," he says.
The new FreeTime Unlimited service builds on the FreeTime parental control feature built into Kindles. Parents can set profiles for their children and limit viewing times and they get their own user interface for the device. "They feel like it's their tablet," Larsen says.
Content that appears in each child's FreeTime profile will reflect their age and gender. They can search for characters such as Dora the Explorer or Buzz Lightyear and find TV episodes, movies and apps starring them. "You can choose to download content as you see fit. If you know you are going on a trip in the car and you want a couple TV shows, a few games and maybe a map app and a book, you can just download that within FreeTime and hand it over to your kid and away they go," Larsen says.
"We hope that the combination of FreeTime and FreeTime Unlimited is going to make these $159 Kindles really attractive for families and their kids," he says.
Advertising and in-app purchasing features have been removed from the thousands of individual titles already approved for Free Time Unlimited.
FreeTime Unlimited will arrive on the devices as a free software update. Customers can sign up within the Free Time app. For more information go to the FreeTime Unlimited page on Amazon's site.

Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.
