Has anyone Bought the Edge Trail Jammer Kit?
This kit has the TB, air intake and elec module.
Is it worth the money? Does it really make that much difference for $850? |
theres a show on spike tv called trucks and these people put this on a jeep wrangler and they said it made a 2-4 mpg increase and that power had definitely increased...(didn't say how much)...should be at least a few hp
I just saw it the other day, that is what got me wanting it.
I was just curious if someone with limited funds (unlike a TV program) thought it was worth it. The surprising spec was the 0-60 mph time would decrease by 2 seconds, that sounds pretty amazing. |
This is one of the few engine mods that actually can make a difference since it adds a new fuel managment system. Now you say does it make an 850 dollar gain? That I don't think it does. About the only thing for a jeep that you are going to find to give you that much power increase is a turbo charger.
huh???? how does it decrease 0-60 time by 2 seconds??? i thought it was supposed to help power!!! i don't get it...unless it just helps high end power and decreases low end power :/ ...i dont know
power is power, and decreasing 0-60 time by 2 seconds is huge
getting a better 0-60 time would take more hp and torque, usually a lot of it. so it should help thru the whole power range too. |
:confused: can you turbo charge the 4.0?
Yup - the 4.0 has both super and turbocharger kits readily available. The 2.5L has superchargers readily available, and 2.5L turbo kits for dodge dakotas can be made to work on them. Both engines have a pretty good selection of aftermarket mopar performance parts available - everything from cams to pistons.
Check out this turbo 4.0 install: http://jpmagazine.com/techarticles/e...ep_4_0l_turbo/ |
that sucks that it decreases the power (0-60)...and yes there is a turbo for the 4.0
I think you are reading it wrong!
Decreases 0-60 time, which is a good thing and takes a power increase. Example: old time 0-60 10 seconds, after mod 8 seconds, so it is faster, a lot faster |
hahaha!! lol SORRY i was reading it wrong jus like u said...it must have been late at night!!! no wonder i was so confused...now i get it...i dont know if it was late or what but i guess i thought ya meant that it got worse...but yeah your right...decreasing 0-60 by 2 seconds is alot...2 seconds is a good bit in 0-60...i was so confused...i thought it hurt power and i didn't get it and i didn't understand how it could hurt lol...yeah it definitely HELPS power...thanks for correction
That was my point exactly 2 seconds is a HUGE improvement, even for an bus. Sounds too good to be true, especially when they state it to only be around 20 hp.
where can you find the super charger and turbo charger kits at? For the 2.5 4 banger?
Are you kidding?
Okay, I know everyone is different, but a 0-60 time, what in the world are you people thinking. If you are worried about how fast your JEEP goes, maybe you should have bought a mustang. I mean come on people, the wrangler is the LEAST aerodynamic auto in the known universe! Why would anyone care what it's 0-60 time is. I dunno why I try to figure some of you people out.

People like you are why I hate forum boards. You have to be a smartass about a simple statement of facts, while most of the discussion was a misunderstanding. I don't need a fast Jeep or a mustang. I do have a 12 second car, a highly modified 2002 Pontiac Firehawk #783 of 1501 produced. The whole point of the 0-60 time was that is was a HUGE improvement so it must mean that it does a good job of increasing HP and TQ. SIMPLE AS THAT. Now if we were talking about taking them to the track then your reply would be justified, otherwise it was just being a smartass! If you can't figure some people out it is because you don't get what people are talking about in the first place. |
First of all, I knew you weren't racing jeeps, I just thought it was funny that you cared what the 0-60 time was. Second, I found it funny that some stupid company BOASTS about improving a jeeps 0-60 time anyways. I just had a good laugh and thought that I would point out how funny the discussion sounded to me. Sorry if I pissed you off, but all of your talk of 0-60 just made me laugh till it hurt. Take a joke dude.
There's no 'funny business' about 0-60 times... well, unless you're talking funny cars of course. So what a manufacturer tries to boast their 0-60 improvement - it still signifies, A, a performance improvement (a good one at that, IF the claim is actually true), and B, a performance improvement in which will affect most people (on-ramp performance, merging, etc.) - horsepower is without a doubt the preffered measurement, however time improvement is something that everyone can understand and figure out just how much it will improve the feel of the vehicle (something you can't do with just HP without lots of experience in power mods of all sorts on the platform in applies to).
While Jeeps make good torque; their highway acceleration is not all that great - ESPECIALLY with the 2.5L. With a bit of help in all areas from suspension, to brakes, to tires, to powertrain - Jeeps can make for some VERY nice handling rigs not only off-road, but perform superbly on the road.... other than the noise. Some people like having it as close to that point as they can afford. Powertrain (and high end suspension) modification allow you to get all the utility of a utility vehicle; something that normally tugs around town definitely feeling like a barebones truck, to something that has all the capability of a truck, and the feel and ease of drive of a civilized SUV or car. At least that's my stance - one coming from someone who's Jeep has no fenders, no air coniditioning (or even a fan) in Arizona, no radio, no nothing that's not involved in getting my TJ from point A to point B; about as 'trucked out' as they come (oh and it's a DD too). |
You can hear the difference. You can feel the difference but you won't gain 2 seconds. That's track proven. Of course that was a 4.0 with 5.38s to 40 MT/Rs. :D
Almost forgot the picture.
http://www.teamwir.com/2005photos/10...3_8332_jpg.jpg and just for referance... my other buddy with a 4.0, 4.88s, 35s waxed him by a full second down the 1/4. |
Okay Carl,
I appreciate the reply. My point was exactly like JeepCrawler98 said, you can't always feel a few horses but 2 seconds we can all tell the major improvement. I also agree that why does the company even measure that spec. I would never even think about timing my Jeep off the line. I do a lot of mods on my Firehawk and a 2 second increase on that car would cost well over 10 grand. So yes it is an impressive spec to me but I could care less how fast it is, especially when I want to put 4.88's in it. When I get the gears in the Jeep I bet my car's 1/4 mile time will be close to my Jeep's 0-60 time. 12 sec 0-60 Jeep and a 12 second 1/4 mile daily driver, the tortoise and the hare. I simply meant it must work well to have those numbers. NUFF SED!!! Now, to my original question: does anyone have it and do they think is worth $850? |
HOLY CRAP dude!
Why did you even think of drag racing your Jeep? What was your time? |
No! It isn't worth 850. However, I have another buddy that just picked up the whole kit for under 500. He has driven 14 hours plus one way and averaged 18+ MPG in this jeep... http://www.thedoubleduke.com/pics/Di...ariangrill.jpg and I think that is worth the investment :) |
Where did he get the kit?
I am a retailer for Edge and my cost is $652 |
The drag race was a joke amongst friends. We were talking times one day and decided to find out. The white jeep went 17.6xx and my buddies jeep on 35s went 16.5xx. Both jeeps are freaking tanks. The white jeep weighs over 5000lbs verified. |
Not sure. I'm not even sure he bought it new but I do remember him getting it under 500 shipped. EDIT: Bad info. I called him and he said he sent it back cause the guy promised it came with the intake. Which it didn't. :( |
Are the toyo tires the 35s you were talking about?
I am thinking about going to 37x1450's in the toyo mt |
That would be right, my cost is $450 without the intake |
Yes. We all run Toyos except me. The 37s are a rockin tire. I wish they would make a 40+ in a C range and I would run it! You won't regret anything besides the weight of the tire. |
Yes I know they are 94 pounds
what's bad with the weight? Changing flats? |
One more question:
How do you guys with tires over 35 mount the spare?, most all tire carriers state they carry up to a 35 or 36. And do I dare try it on the stock tailgate with a bracket for clearance? |

I'm looking for an amp/DAC to use on my computer that can power 250Ω headphones as well as IEMs (Currently using Zero Audio Carbo Basso but looking to upgrade). I want something that preferably doesn't take up a lot of room but I have no plans on using it with a portable music player. Is there anything for under £100 GBP that will suit?
Do I go for something like an AudioQuest Dragonfly 1.2, Fiio E07K, Fiio E17 or something else entirely?

Album Summary

- Victor Lawrence (Cello)
- Tawnee Lillo (French Horn)
- Mark Robertson (Violin)
- Amy Tatum (Cello)
This soundtrack for season two of the popular television forensics drama/science fiction/thriller Fringe relies heavily on the work of composer Chris Tilton, with additional music by Michael Giacchino. Both artists carry a solid pedigree when it comes to the subject matter, and their nearly interchangeable themes are dutifully steeped in the murky, conspiracy-tinged patina of past projects like Lost and Alias. A tense blend of icy electronica, steady foreboding percussion, and melancholy strings, Fringe: Season 2 offers up more material than most television soundtracks. The Fringe franchise remains one of the stronger additions to the science fiction genre, and its atmospheric blend of X-Files-inspired dread and CSI noir is dutifully conveyed in its music. ~ James CHristopher Monger

.- Pope Benedict encouraged the bishops of Europe to be zealous and fresh in their approach to evangelizing modern culture, particularly young people.
During a Sept. 29-Oct. 2 gathering in Albania, the bishops were read a message from the Pope in which he urged them to "courageously" identify "new missionary paths of evangelization, especially in serving the new generations."
The annual assembly of the Council of European Bishops' Conferences was held in Tirana, Albania.
In his message to the bishops, Pope Benedict praised the council as "a vital structure connecting the European episcopates, which for forty years has promoted fruitful collaboration in pastoral and ecumenical activities."
The council, which is headed by Cardinal Peter Erdo of Esztergom-Budapest, dedicated this year's theme to the new evangelization—the late Pope John Paul II's call to re-evangelize formerly Christian societies.
In the opening session of the gathering, Cardinal Erdo recalled how the mission of the council "is to support the Church throughout the continent of Europe, focusing particular attention on those Churches which, during the course of last century, suffered greatly under the dictatorship of atheist regimes."
"Today we can confidently affirm that the rebirth of the Church in those countries is proof of Divine Providence and of faith in Christ, who was crucified and rose again," he said.
In addition to the topic of evangelization, the assembly focused on the council's service to the Church in Europe as well as progress made in the area of ecumenical dialogue. The bishops then met with His Beatitude Fouad Twal, Latin Rite Patriarch of Jerusalem, to discuss ways to help Christians in the Holy Land.
The bishops also reflected on Pope Benedict's trips this year to Germany, Croatia and Spain, where he attended World Youth Day.
During the assembly, the council re-elected Cardinal Peter Erdo of as president of the body. He will serve a five-year term ending in 2016.
Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco, president of the Italian bishops' conference, and Archbishop Jozef Michalik of Przemysl, head of the Polish bishops' conference, were elected as vice presidents. They will replace Cardinal Jean-Pierre Ricard of Bordeaux and Cardinal Josip Bozanic of Croatia.
The bishops thanked the newly elected leaders for their readiness to serve and encouraged them in their work of evangelization in Europe. They also thanked "all the members of the outgoing presidency for their work for the good of the Church and for their devotion to promoting fraternal communion among the European episcopates."

Apple has finally gone "on the record" about iPhone 4's reception issue issuing a press release and saying a software fix is on the way.
Wait a minute, it was a software issue all along? That's what Apple's claiming, at least.
"Upon investigation, we were stunned to find that the formula we use to calculate how many bars of signal strength to display is totally wrong," a statement the company released said. "Our formula, in many instances, mistakenly displays 2 more bars than it should for a given signal strength. For example, we sometimes display 4 bars when we should be displaying as few as 2 bars."
"Users observing a drop of several bars when they grip their iPhone in a certain way are most likely in an area with very weak signal strength, but they don't know it because we are erroneously displaying 4 or 5 bars. Their big drop in bars is because their high bars were never real in the first place."
That's right it's not a hardware design flaw as most people have assumed.
I spoke to Apple spokesman Steve Dowling about the issue. Dowling said that any suggestion that this is a hardware design flaw is wrong -- it was simply a software "mistake." Apple says it has tested and retested the phones to confirm the problem. Dowling said overall reception in iPhone 4 is better than in any previous phone they've shipped. And my own experience confirms this: I have yet to drop a call.
Plenty of videos have surfaced showing users dropping multiple bars while their left hands are gripped tightly around their iPhone. According to Apple those users aren't really dropping that many bars. Steve Dowling says the effect is "amplified" by the poorly written software.
Some critics have suggested that Apple knowingly put the wrong software in the new phone to give the appearance of strong reception.
"That's not case. It was a mistake," Dowling said. To be clear this fix won't improve the iPhone 4′s signal strength, just how it displays it on the phone.
What about reports that some people are not just losing signal strength but are dropping calls altogether? Dowling told me that anyone who holds a cellphone will experience some attenuation of the signal strength -- especially in areas with weaker coverage. So would someone with only one bar of service potentially experience a dropped call if they gripped the iPhone 4 a certain way? "Yes," according to Dowling. To my mind that falls into the category of Obvious.
And what about the rumor that Apple was going to start handing out "bumper" cases for free, which may fix the issue? Nope. Apple told me that it has no plans to do that and that software fix should be here in a few weeks.
I guess in the meantime, just listen to Steve Jobs and "don't hold it that way."

Incomplete Contracts in Dynamic Games
I develop a dynamic model of costly private provision of public goods where agents can also invest in cost-reducing technologies. Despite the n+1 stocks in the model, the analysis is tractable and the (Markov perfect) equilibrium unique. The frame-work is used to derive optimal incomplete contracts in a dynamic setting. If the agents can contract on provision levels, but not on investments, they invest suboptimally little, particularly if the contract is short-term or close to its expiration date. To encourage sufficient investments, the optimal and equilibrium contract is more ambitious if it is short-lasting, and it is tougher to satisfy close to its expiration date. If renegotiation is possible, such a contract implements the first best. The results have important implications for how to design a climate treaty.

Suspected Smuggler Fingers Alleged Border Patrol Killer
Saturday, July 25, 2009
Mexican authorities say a man they have in custody has been identified as the gunman who killed a Border Patrol agent east of San Diego last Thursday night. KPBS Reporter Amy Isackson has the story.
Mexican authorities say a witness identified the man arrested near the shooting scene as the one who killed Border Patrol agent Robert Rosas.
U.S. and Mexican police launched a massive manhunt on both sides of the border after Rosas died.
Mexican police found the supposed gunman, Ernesto Parra Valenzuela, walking in the rugged area five hours later. They say he had a pistol hidden in his clothes.
Mexican authorities say their investigation then led them to a group of human smugglers that operated in the area and were also wanted by US authorities.
They say one of them fingered Parra Valenzuela.
US authorities say Border Patrol agent Rosas was shot Thursday evening while chasing a group of people trying to sneak across the border.

This post originally appeared on Newser.
If the idea of fighting over cheap towels on Black Friday or pretending to work while actually shopping on Cyber Monday just depresses you, here's something that may bring back the holiday spirit: Charitable groups have dubbed tomorrow "Giving Tuesday."
As NPR optimistically puts it, the idea is "to get people excited about giving in the same way they might get excited about buying a big-screen TV at a bargain price." It was dreamed up by New York's 92nd Street Y.
Basically, it's a jumpstart to the holiday giving season, with groups like Mom It Forward planning volunteer projects and activities like a Twitter party, where attendees will talk about "how you can really make a difference over the holiday season," says the group's founder.
More than 1,400 groups are participating, and even big retailers like JC Penney are planning service projects and fundraisers. The idea, says one of the organizers, is to get people talking about giving and "sharing that passion with others," rather than "sitting alone at their kitchen table at the end of the year making those end-of-year contributions."

San Francisco's online network officials have just learned a primal lesson: Never piss off your system administrator. Terry Childs, a disgruntled system administrator, allegedly locked all municipal employees out of the city's FiberWAN network. Childs, who faces four charges of computer tampering, earned almost $150,000 in the past year for being part of the system's on-call support team. Bail was set at $5 million — higher than that of most suspected murderers — after prosecutors argued that Childs could cause more harm to the network. This comes at no surprise: Insiders have always posed an acute threat to information networks. For the full story, check SecurityFocus.
Editor's note: This story is still developing, with Childs recently turning over passwords to Mayor Gavin Newsom.
Outsourced security services are going to jump significantly in the next five years as companies turn to outsourced applications, according to a report released last week by Gartner Inc. The research firm said outsourced services such as anti-malware and anti-spam for email and IM (instant messaging) already account for 20 percent of revenue in the messaging-security market, and are expected to jump to 60 percent by 2013. As mobile employees bypass the corporate network to access business data, Gartner said, companies will need to put security controls between those users and outsourced services. In other words, new approaches are needed to secure cloud-based IT services. Find out more at SearchSecurity.com.
Attention Dr. Nayland Smith! Whoever that is hacking into your computer, it's probably not Fu Manchu — in spite of the popular media fantasy about a coordinated attempt by the Chinese government to break into U.S. military computers and steal secrets. Bruce Schnieir admitted that there is a lot of hacking coming out of China, but insists that the reprobates behind it are basically young, male, patriotic Chinese citizens merely trying to demonstrate that they can hack just as well as everyone else. He makes a good case, which you can read on his blog, Bruce Schneier on Security.
As Dirty Harry once asked, "Are you feeling lucky, punk?" You should, now that Symantec Corp. has opened two of its Norton 2009 products to public beta. Both Norton Internet Security 2009 and Norton Antivirus 2009 feature new code that makes the scans run faster and consume fewer system resources, said Tom Powledge, vice president of Symantec's consumer product division. For instance, whereas Norton Internet Security 2006 consumed roughly 300MB of hard-disk space, the 2009 version only needs 100MB. And the new anti-virus software will now ignore all unchanged and previously scanned files (like photos and music) to make AV scans faster. Also, in order to keep up with ever-changing malware, the 2009 products will be updated every 15 minutes. Read all about it at CNet News,or download betas here. If you're feeling lucky.

Date Day
Last week the husband and I had a day off together and got outdoors to enjoy the sunshine. We ate icecreams and went for a walk through the beautiful Hamilton gardens (first picture is the Italian garden and second picture is the Indian Garden) and took the Holga along for the ride. There are more pictures of our adventures over on Hello Holga and the rest of the roll will be gradually put up throughout the week (my first time the entire roll of film has been a success!)
P.S do you guys enjoy seeing these kinds of posts? I have to admit I have been spending a lot of time on Rockstar Diaries and love seeing pictures of the little things their family gets up to and it does inspire me to share a few things now and then of my own life, if you guys like it :)
Edit: Also- sorry to keep mentioning this but today is the last day to vote for me on the Lovelies blog awards. It's come down to a bit of a last minute race so if you have a sec please help me win!

Animalia | Chordata | Mammalia | Chiroptera | Emballonuridae |
Scientific Name: | Emballonura monticola | |||
Species Authority: | Temminck, 1838 | |||
Common Name(s):
Taxonomic Notes: | This species may be confused with Emballonura alecto which occurs in sympatry with E. monticola on the island of Borneo (Corbet and Hill 1992). |
Red List Category & Criteria: | Least Concern ver 3.1 |
Year Published: | 2008 |
Date Assessed: | 2008-06-30 |
Assessor(s): | Bates, P., Francis, C. & Kingston, T. |
Reviewer(s): | Hutson, A.M., Racey, P.A. (Chiroptera Red List Authority), Chanson, J. & Chiozza, F. (Global Mammal Assessment Team) |
Justification: This species is listed as Least Concern in view of its wide distribution, presumed large population, its occurrence in a number of protected areas, and because it is unlikely to be declining at nearly the rate required to qualify for listing in a threatened category. However it is potentially sensitive to forest loss and may become threatened in the future by continued deforestation. |
Previously published Red List assessments: |
Range Description: | This species occurs in Myanmar and Thailand to western Malaysia, Borneo (all of the island) and Indonesia (Sumatra, Riau Archipelago, Bangka, Belitung, Enggano, Babi Islands, Batu Islands, Nias Island, Mentawai Islands, Java, Sulawesi) (Simmons 2005). The distribution in Sulawesi is uncertain. There is a new record from southern Thailand, near Phanom, suggesting that the Myanmar population is linked to that of southern Thailand and Malaysia (S.

KPU Eagles now tied for final playoff position
Winning twice in one week for the first time this season, the Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) Eagles women's basketball team is closing in on a PACWEST (Pacific Western Athletic Conference) playoff position.
In two must-win games at the Surrey campus of KPU, the Eagles edged the Langara Falcons 57-54 on Thursday night then topped the Douglas College Royals 62-59 Saturday.
KPU improved to 6-12 on the season, and with three games remaining on their schedule are tied with the Falcons for the final playoff position. The Eagles hold the tiebreaker, having won all three head-to-head meetings with Langara.
"We played strong defense down the stretch both nights," said KPU Eagle head coach Dan Nayebzadeh. "We were very disciplined, resulting in two key victories."
A loss Thursday to the Falcons would have dropped the Eagles two games back, and all but out of contention for postseason play. But in a tight game, Kwantlen came out on top.
KPU built a 20-13 lead in the second quarter, but it was the largest of the game. Langara pulled to within one point by halftime, and the game remained close the rest of the way. There were five lead changes and on seven occasions the game was tied.
Amber-Lee Kavanagh posted a double double for the Eagles with a game-high 16 points and 12 rebounds. Shilpa Khanna added 14 points to go with three steals. Samantha McPhail collected 10 rebounds while scoring nine points.
Still a game out of a playoff position going into Saturday's game, Kwantlen never trailed against Douglas. The Eagles led 18-10 after one quarter, and 31-26 at half time. The score stayed close until the fourth quarter, when the Eagles pulled away for a second consecutive win.
Kavanagh was again the top scorer with 13 points, and added nine rebounds. Christina Brown netted a dozen points, while Harjot Ladher pulled down 13 rebounds with McPhail grabbing 11.
KPU's men's basketball team lost both games on the weekend, and are now out of playoff contention.
The Eagles fell behind by 14 points at halftime, and fell 100-64 to the Langara Falcons Thursday night. On Saturday, Devan Haynes with 14 points, Devonte Pierce with 12, Obi Udevi with 11 and Ali Bosir with 10 all scored in double digits against Langara.
Bosir had a huge game Saturday, scoring 24 points while collecting 16 rebounds against the Royals. Udevi contributed 16 points with Gurpal Mann scoring 13 and Haynes adding 10.
Both KPU squads are on the road twice next weekend, playing in Squamish against the Quest Kermodes Friday and Saturday in North Vancouver against the Capilano Blues.

I make documentaries and sad little comedies with a small team called Castparty Productions. I also did an experimental narrative feature last summer, for which I'm in the process of doing a director's cut.
We've begun periodic shoots of a local activist hero, for a doc that may or may not turn out to be feature-length, along with working on a feature-length musical. I guess you could say we're touching all the bases.

HI. Sailesh Dave from Bombay, India. Currently producing Prime Time TV shows and small spoof movies for clients like MTV, STAR TV network etc. Have always been passionate about documentaries and want to start by making some. Need advice on what are the latest market trends, sales agents, international format requirements, technical specs etc. Thanks.
Tue 17 Feb 2009
Welcome, Sailesh. Best thing you can do is spend some time reading the various through the various topics here and use the search engine and tags to get at specific questions you might have. There's a handy Help function that will explain things, too, if need be.

Hi All – I've worked on a few documentaries before as editor and composer, but am making my first as a director/producer now and am looking for different resources and communities to help answer some of the questions and snags I'll encounter along the way.
I'm in the grant writing stage of the process now...
looking forward to participating here.

Dear Citizens of D,
I'm producing and directing my first documentary, "To Them That's Gone", along with three partners. The film is about the Run for the Fallen, an apolitical memorial project that traveled across America last summer to honor service members killed in the Iraq War. We are now in post-production and the fundraising continues.
I'm proud to say we just launched our website and new promo piece at www.tothemthatsgone.com. I'd be honored if you would watch the piece, and any feedback would be greatly appreciated (email below).
My prior experience includes picking up a few tricks while assisting Doug Block for a stretch, during the production of "51 Birch Street"; and assisting/shooting additional footage on "Jacques d'Amboise in China", which recently aired on HBO.
It's good to be here!
Wed 18 Feb 2009
Your project looks very powerful. Good luck during the post process! I'll send you an e-mail with a couple names that are in your area that could be helpful to you.

I'm Jonathan Archer and I work for ITVS. My colleagues held a special week-long conference last year, and it's archived on this site. If you haven't searched it for info, I strongly suggest you do. In the pursuit of broadening our services to the community, however, I'm experimenting with going the other way – instead of a forum, just 140 characters. If you're on Twitter, or know people who are, point them to @jonathanITVS. I'm no official spokesperson, but will be looking to provide timely and (necessarily!) brief responses to queries to help filmmakers on their way. It's the dialogue that counts. Hope you find this a useful experiment. See you on Twitter!

Hello All,
I have been happily strolling through this pretty fabulous site for the past couple weeks and have already gained a lot (shoot wide open on digital cameras!).
High time I introduced myself. I'll do it like an AA meeting.
I'm geoff feinberg and I'm a long time lover of documentary. During the day I work as a freelance editor (last worked on marshall curry's latest doc as an ast. editor), but during the night I'm scheming away putting my own docs together. At the moment one of the things I'm working on is getting the guts to make a self funded, one man crew shoot in India. Takes a lot of balls and risk (doubly so to do it on ones own dime). But thats what this is all about, eh?
Happy to be here and join discussions.

I am happy to have found out about this website. My name is Matthew Cortese I am about to graduate from film school. My focus is on editing Documentaries. I just finished a short film on my father who is a muralist in Northwest Indiana, it is called Pete's Portrait. I am currently working on another short doc about a director of an improve troupe. I was currious as if there are distribution outlets for short docs?
Mon 23 Feb 2009
Greetings D-Word,
I just found out about this site, and I am really enjoying it. I'm also pretty new to the business having just graduated college and am in the process of looking for work in Boston. In this search for employment I have encountered the need for a website with my video work on it. I have videos on Current but I would like something that I can update frequently sort of like a blog. I have a site, that only showcases my photography that I would like to replace with video. Any kind of HTML template suggestions so I don't have to buy flash would be really helpful. Thanks for D-Word and good luck with your projects folks.
Mon 23 Feb 2009
We're brand new to this site having come across it from Documentary.org. We've been filmmakers for many years. Our latest film is a blend of animation and documentary entitled "Mythic Journeys" it stars Tim Curry, Mark Hamill & Lance Henriksen and features interviews with Deepak Chopra, Michael Beckwith and many others. You can view a trailer at the site below. We look forward to getting to know all of you on the boards.

Part 1: Effective Concrete Maintenance Requires Inspection Guidelines
Part 2: Successful Concrete Repair Requires Careful Preparation
Part 3: Concrete Coating Considerations To Extend Performance Life
By Thomas A. Westerkamp June 2012 - Grounds Management Article Use Policy
Concrete sidewalks, ramps, parking lots and garages around institutional and commercial facilities can perform reliably for years. But they can do so only if maintenance managers implement a comprehensive concrete-maintenance program that identifies small problems early and addresses them before they become larger and more costly.
By developing inspection guidelines focused on common causes of problems, combining them with effective repair procedures, materials and equipment, and specifying coatings to protect surfaces, managers can extend concrete performance life and minimize trip-and-fall hazards.
Managers tackling the challenges of concrete maintenance must accept two contradictory facts: Water is a necessary ingredient in concrete, as well as its single most destructive enemy. Without a vapor retarder to keep water out, concrete coatings on below-grade inside floors or walls soon will fail.
Water expands by 9 percent when it freezes, causing spalling and cracking in exterior concrete walkways, floors, walls, and roofs. Concrete is alkaline and normally protects rebar from rusting, but water mixed with chlorides in de-icing compounds can penetrate to rebar and rust it, causing expansion and cracking. Water also can penetrate structural concrete beams and cause cracking, rusting the rebar and weakening the structure.
The first thing technicians must determine when inspecting concrete is whether the problem is structural or superficial. The start of a structural failure — for example, a deep crack in a structural concrete beam — requires immediate attention and documentation. A concrete engineer using non-destructive evaluation, such as ground-penetrating radar, infrared thermography, and impact-echo technology, can discover hidden problems.
Most concrete problems are superficial, but even these problems need careful and ongoing attention. A cracked curb or spalled walkway, parking-lot surface, or garage floor that is unstable can cause falls and broken bones that require surgery, rehabilitation, and months to heal.
Performing thorough inspections before the colder weather arrives can detect relatively small problems that technicians can repair quickly, preventing further water and ice damage. Inspecting concrete surfaces after cold weather arrives also can reveal new damage that technicians can repair quickly.
The key root-cause factors technicians should record during an inspection include environment, soil, drainage, nearby chemical waste, and on-site activities. They also should document essential facts related to the concrete surfaces in question:

출판사 줄거리
...a deep and convincing study of the late Renaissance and late Reformation world of learning, imposing in its detailed textual analyses and conceptual overview. Vladimir Urbanek, International Review of Comenius Studies and Early Modern Intellectual History Hotson presents the reader with a clear picture of Alsted's complicated intellectual and religious background ... one cannot but admire Hotson's convincing analysis of Alsted's thought ... this valuable intellectual biography of one encyclopaedist enlightens and explains a whole world full of pansophic plans, eschatological enthusiasm and educational optimism within the framework of Calvinist endeavours towards a general reformation. Dutch Review of Church History Excellent, erudite and lucid intellectual biography ... Hotson has provided a richly contextualised and nuanced study of the possibilities of belief which were available to Alsted. Journal of Ecclesiastical History Hotson has written a concise intellectual biography, in many respects exemplary, of a scholarly figure who is difficult to pin down. He has given Alsted a detailed profile. Based on Hotson's scholarship, other researchers will be able to make better use of Alsted's treasure trove than has been possible so far. Bulletin of the German Historical Institute The author combines the approaches and methods of political history, church history, the history of ideas, and the history of science, and he succeeds admirably. Bulletin of the German Historical Institute There is much more to this monograph than traditional intellectual biography ... [This] monograph represents a staggering amount of research, meticulously documented and expertly presented ... Hotson has offered us nothing less than an imaginative and innovative attempt at reforming the history of ideas. Clearly, he is setting high standards for himself and others in the next generation of intellectual historians. American Historical Review ... this work is a major achievement that should and will permanently mark the landscape of late Renaissance-Reformation studies ... every serious scholar of early modern cultural history should read this book. Sixteenth Century Journal With enormous erudition and the perserverance of a detective, Hotson dissects the various intellectual strands that make up the fabric of Alsted's oeuvre, identifying authors and tracing the often curious ways in which ideas found entrance into Alsted's work ... This brief review cannot possibly do justice to the subtlety and comprehensiveness of Hotson's study. Alsted was a writer of prodigious productivity and learning. So is his modern biographer.

Williams hopes for further collaboration with Jaguar
Could Williams emerge as the outsourced competition department for Jaguar? It very well might if Adam Parr has his way. The chairman of the Williams F1 team and its related subsidiaries is enthusiastic about his company's collaboration with the British automaker, and is keen to see it move forward into new areas.
Currently, Williams is helping Jaguar develop the C-X75 concept into a roadgoing supercar. And while the micro-turbines housed in the show car's engine bay aren't likely to make the production cut – at least, not initially – the hybrid element of the drivetrain is. That's where Williams comes in, supplying its expertise with the Kinetic Energy Recovery System it developed for use in F1 towards road-going application on the production C-X75.
Williams could, potentially, be called back in to service to develop hybrid systems for other Jaguar road cars if its work on the C-X75 turns out well, but Parr is also looking towards Le Mans. Jaguar has no less than seven victories at the famed endurance race to its name, including five in the 1950s and another two in 1988 and 1990, and is rumored to be working on a new LMP1 racing prototype, but whether Williams is in on the program remains to be seen.

So finally in the opening of the show, they explain the rules and how eliminations will happen. Am I crazy that I like to know that information up front? Anyway, there will be no eliminations again this week, which I guess makes sense, because you want people to get a chance to know the contestants a little bit. And then next week, the bottom two will have an a capella battle to determine who goes home. And then in a few more weeks, America gets to vote. This seems like a sad hodgepodge of how reality shows usually work; I'm surprised this show isn't on NBC.
Wait, are they really opening with a duet between Kelly Clarkson and Robin Thicke of "State of Shock"? Does anyone besides me remember this song? It was a duet between Michael Jackson and Mick Jagger? Anyone? I actually remember this song because back when people used to listen to the radio, and my brother and I were pre- or early- teens stuck at home listening to the Hot Eight at Eight or whatever, we called in and he got to introduce this song on the radio. And we recorded it on our cassette recorder. We thought we were totally famous. I wish I still had that tape. Not that I have a tape player that I could play it on anymore.
Anyway, this week's theme is Classic Duets. I would like to state for the record that I want to hear "Islands in the Stream," "Leather and Lace," "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," and "It's Only Love." Thank you.
The host is still named Quddus. They start the show with a recap of last week's show, which you either watched or you read the weecap from last week, so let's move on. This week, John Legend will be singing with Bridget Carrington first. Her name does not fit her image, at all. He realizes that the verses were a little low for her, but this week, he thinks they've found the right key. And they're singing "Knew You Were Waiting" by Aretha Franklin and George Michael. How in the **** did those two end up singing together, by the way?
Bridget comes out singing first, and then John joins her. He sounds fantastic. She sounds nervous. When they sing together, he's overpowering her a little, but their harmonies work. She needs to cut it with the embellishment on the notes. Her voice and tone are pretty; she doesn't need the extra notes. She has a pretty decent stage presence and performance but they don't have a ton of chemistry together. I guess I just want her to be better than she is.

God establishes people for His purposes. What He establishes no man or movement can stop. Establishments energized by the Holy Spirit enjoy momentum that propels them forward in faith. For example, a church or ministry freshly challenged with a God-sized vision and a unified mission will move forward by God's grace. A leader led by the Lord will persevere through rough patches, because his motive is the sake of God's people.
Where has God established you? Are you honored to be at home for the sake of your family? Your faithfulness now in disciplining, training, coaching and mentoring your child will pay a lifetime of dividends in their adult experiences. Does the Lord have you in an influential role at work? Your ability to see the bigger picture of service to the people is what will sustain you to lead well. God established you for His people.
"Then people will say, 'The LORD Almighty is God over Israel!' And the house of your servant David will be established in your sight." 2 Samuel 7:26
Therefore, use your establishment as a platform for God and others. Your Kingdom opportunity may be a place, a position or both. Ask how as an organization and/or as an individual you can leverage your integrity for the Lord. You are blessed with moral authority to lift the morals of your community, maybe even the world. Your boat of honorable behavior lifts all boats of behavior. God established you for His glory.
Furthermore, do not treat lightly the deep pillars of honor that have settled onto a firm foundation of faith all these years. The Lord's legacy over your legacy is a long shadow of influence that serves as a moral compass for your children, grandchildren and those you serve. Jesus Christ has established you to serve His people for His glory. What He establishes He sustains and blesses. He accomplishes His will through what He has established—thus make sure the neon sign on your life reads: ESTABLISHED BY GOD!
"The children of your servants will live in your presence; their descendants will be established before you." Psalm 102:28
Prayer: Heavenly Father, may You establish me for Your people and for Your glory.

Super Paper Mario is much different than the previous entries in the series. It focuses on platforming more than the RPG elements the series is known for. But Super Paper Mario still has the humor and memorable characters that the fans love. This is my Super Paper Mario review and let's start with the story.
The game starts with Princess Peach getting kidnapped... again. Mario and Luigi think it's Bowser, so they go to his castle to try and save her. When they get there, it turns out that Bowser didn't kidnap her, it was actually a man named Count Bleck. Count Bleck shows up at Bowser's castle, brainwashes his army and also kidnaps Luigi and Bowser too. After this, Mario is found unconscious by a mysterious being by the name of Tippi. Tippi transports Mario to Flipside, which is in another dimension than the one Mario and his friends live in. They go and visit Merlon, who tells him about an ancient hero called the Light Prognosticus who travels across multiple dimensions while collecting the eight Pure Hearts to stop Count Bleck. Thinking that Mario is the Light Prognosticus, Merlon tells him to collect the Pure Hearts so he can defeat Count Bleck and save Princess Peach once again. The story is very good and still has that charm the series is known for. On to the gameplay.
Super Paper Mario controls more like a platformer than an RPG. There's no more turn-based battles anymore, and it's just you jumping on an enemy like a Super Mario Bros game. There's still RPG elements, like gaining experience points and restoring HP with items, but some fans of the series may not like this change, and I can see why because it was an unnecessary change for the franchise. But the game is actually really good as a platformer and you'll have fun with it just like when you played the original Super Mario Bros. Another new addition to this game is the ability to go into the 3rd dimension, or 3D as some call it. Mario learns this technique pretty early in the game and it's useful for finding hidden items and getting passed obstacles that may be impossible to go through in 2D. This addition works very well and is easy to control in this dimension. During the course of the game, you'll be meeting many interesting people known as Pixls. Pixls are basically your partners in this game and can help you out in battle. But Mario isn't the only person you can control in this adventure. I won't say who else you can control other than Mario, but they are familiar faces. These other characters that you can control have different abilities that Mario can't do but all of them can't go into 3D like Mario does. You will rarely be using the Wii Remote pointer in this game, and the only times you'll actually be using it is when you are pointing at the screen to see a description of an item, character, or enemy. This isn't big, but it's nice to know that it's there. That has to do with the gameplay, on to the presentation.
The graphics in this game are great, but are only a small improvement to The Thousand-Year Door. The sound is amazing and some memorable tracks include is Gloam Valley and Memory. Video below on both of them. When I listen to Memory, it makes me think about everything that has happened in the game and usually some certain characters. The game played at a great speed and only had some lag. On to the replay value.
After beating the game, there's not one, but two Pit of Trials if you're up for the challenge. There's also a few other things that will make you go back to this game, and you'll enjoy every second of it. What's also a nice addition is that when you beat a chapter, you can go back to the world and try to find whatever you forgot to get. There's some great replay value here, and I recommend to play as much as you can.
Super Paper Mario is a great game. It still has the humor and memorable characters that the series is known for. It was unneeded for the franchise to have a heavy focus on platforming, but it plays so well that you won't really care. The presentation is also very good and the replay value will make you come back for some more. Even if it's not really Paper Mario anymore, I recommend this to the fans.
I hope you liked my review and please check out my list of games I'm reviewing: http://www.ign.com/blogs/mjo1450/2012/04/25/games-im-reviewing/
Have a great day guys (and girls).

The truth is that Barchester's leadership is really concerned with social rather than spiritual or moral issues. These intrigues, entwined through the lives of many memorable characters, provide a humorous backdrop for exploring the clash between the old and new ways in Victorian England.
Don't miss the first book in the series, The Warden (Unabridged).
(P)2006 Blackstone Audio Inc.
Decided to read this book to fulfill my pledge to myself to read some classic literature. It very quickly turned into one of the most entertaining of the books I have read. Aside from all the Victorian nonsense, the story is quite humerus at the expense of the Anglican Church hierarchy. But perhaps the best part of the recording was the reader, Simon Vance. His interpretation was so well done, that at times I thought I was watching a movie.
"Give Trollope a try"
In the hope that someone might be looking here at Trollope's most famous title, I just want to put out a general plug for his novels (especially all six of the Barsetshire series.) They are very mature, intelligent reads -- truly books for grown ups. And Simon Vance (who, like many narrators, has a couple of names) is just about everyone's favorite interpreter of 19th C. English fiction. Start with "The Warden", then you will enjoy "Barchester Towers" even more. Happy listening!
I had always intended to read Trollope and never quite made the time. Listening to this engaging narration by Simon Vance made such a pleasure possible while driving to work. Although one must have a taste for much more intricate prose than is characteristic of today's fiction, Vance's interpretation makes all the different characters recognizable and brings out the humor and minute social observation that keeps Trollope's intrigues of small town and ecclesiastical life in England mid-19th Century so enjoyable even today.
"If you've run out of Jane Austen novels..."
If you enjoy dense, complex novels which illuminate an entire society and have a broad range of unique characters with recognizable foibles, I highly recommend this delightful sequel to The Warden. Bishop Grantly has died and is succeeded by the Rev Proudie who brings with him his domineering wife and his ambitious and manipulative chaplain, Mr Slope. Mr Slope aspires to marry the wealthy and attractive Widow Bold, nee Eleanor Harding. Will he succeed in his courtship, or will the spirited Eleanor favor the feckless Bertie Stanhope or the scholarly Mr Arabin? Will Eleanor's father, the self-effacing Reverend Harding be re-appointed as warden of the hospital, or will the position go to the aptly named Reverend Quiverful, struggling to support a family of 14? And what of the fascinating, beautiful, and scandalous Signora Neroni, (nee Madelyn Stanhope), sister of the worthless Bertie, whom all men seem to desire? Minor characters, like the eccentric Miss Thorne and the combative Archdeacon Grantly, are delineated for our delight. Siimon Vance makes each character and incident come alive in this reading. Pay an extended visit to Barchester. You will enjoy the company.
"Charming and Laugh-out-load!"
It's very seldom I LOL at an audio-book--this one did it for me! Of course, Trollope's charming Victorian writing style had a lot to do with it, but Simon Vance's delivery was impeccable, engaging, and thoroughly enjoyable. I enjoyed this title even more than "The Warden" (book one in this series). I'm on to Doctor Thorne and am sure I won't be dissappointed!
One word of caution on this recording: it sounds like it may have been digitized from a previous analog recording. There are brief (a few seconds) sections throughout the recording that sound muffled--much like a stretched or damaged cassette tape might sound. Not overly disturbing, and it doesn't take away from the enjoyment of the work, just noticeable.
I enjoyed this second installment of the Barchester Chronicles much more than the first, The Warden, even though many of the same characters (Mr. Harding and his daughters) continue the story. Trollope has a unique way of getting inside the minutiae of Victorian society and behavior, and he does so with both affection and humor. I'll definitely continue listening to the series.
"Simon Vance"
Simon Vance has got to be the best narrator on the planet. love this book as i do all of Trollope's work. just wanted to give a shout out to the best narrator in the business. Wish someone would hire him to do Dostoevsky's "The Possessed" or "Demons" how about Blackstone Audio? hint hint
"My first Trollope won't be my last"
This is my first Trollope novel and I described him to some book-loving friends as an ecclesiastical Jane Austen with a definite Dickens twist. I thoroughly enjoyed this and plan to read more Trollope. The casual references to the numerous titles and hierarchy of the clergy in the Church of England can be a bit tedious for us, the uninitiated, but this delightful novel was worth it. From the slippery Mr. Slope to the domineering Mrs. Proudie, the characters are well developed with humor and irony. Very enjoyable. The narrator does a fine job. You can almost see him winking at you as he raises his brows and lowers his chin.
"Simon Vance brilliant once again"
Trollope is as relevant as today's political headlines. If we think fools and charlatans are something new, he has a lot to teach us. But there is the difference of time and language and the exact nature of political and personal offenses that might make him more distant to a casual reader or listeners to a careless reader. Simon Vance is absolutely brilliant in bringing vibrantly to modern ears Trollope's sly humor, skillful character creation and warm hearted affection for those who do right in life. I loved every minute of Barchester Towers and am now going back to listen to The Warden. And then on to the rest of the saga. Three cheers for Simon Vance!
"Barchester Towers review"
As a Dickens fan, I was prepared to be disappointed. But this book truly shines. I will now embark on the remaing 4 chronicles..
"More 1950's Trollope"
Simon Vance continues his impressions of characters in 1950's British films. The women suffer especially, sounding like Lady Bracknell or Gwendoline in the Edith Evans version of 'The Importance of Being Earnest'. Perhaps it's supposed to give period feel for the American market, but it's the wrong period and serves only to make Trollope's very human characters too distant to empathise with. Listern to Juliet Stevenson reading Jane Austen for how to make period characters live. Shame. It's a lovely book.

North Gardner Mountain is the high point of Okanogan County, which is on the east side of the Cascade Crest bordering British Columbia. It is connected to the 59-foot shorter Gardner Mountain by a high ridge. These two mountains are themselves not as spectacular as their nearby neighbors such as Silver Star Mountain and Kangaroo Ridge because of their softer, more erodible rock. However, the view of spectacular mountains to the west and south is phenomenal from this vantage point, and very worth the climb. Gardner and North Gardner can be easily done in one day from a camp at Gardner Meadows.
Getting There
Thanks to Redwic for providing updated driving directions.1) Head south through Winthrop along Highway 20.
2) Shortly after crossing a small bridge, turn right onto Twin Lakes Road.
3) After 1.3 miles, turn right onto Wolf Creek Road.
4) After 2.8 miles on Wolf Creek Road, turn left onto Left Fork Wolf Creek Road.
5) After 3.8 miles, the road forks. Veer left at the fork, continuing another 0.6 miles to the Wolf Creek Trailhead and large parking area.

"Who are you?" yelled a member of the audience at the Middle East downstairs a week ago Tuesday.
"Who am I?" replied Wedding Present frontman David Gedge. "Who am I exactly? It's become almost a philosophical question."
There are a few ways to take that exchange. After a long break to front the more atmospheric Cinerama, Gedge is once again leading the Wedding Present. The new Wedding Present album, Take Fountain, started as a Cinerama project. And then, there's always been the disconnect between Gedge's stardom overseas and his cult status here in the US.
It would have been perfect if Gedge and his three mates — long-time bassist Terry de Castro, drummer Charlie Layton, and guitarist Chris McConville — had replicated the layered, hushed sound and melancholic beauty of Take Fountain. It would have been nice had Gedge's breathy, talk-sung vocals, his lyrics of relationships crashing on the rocks, cut through the musical clatter. But with no string section, horns, or the like, these were performers set on emphasizing the full-throttle acceleration of the new material and revisiting their early years as a post-punk band. They even played their first-ever single, "Go Out and Get 'Em Boy," with Gedge calling it a "cool treat," and Cinerama's "2, 3, Go." On the other hand, they omitted "Interstate 5," the stately, muscular epic that kicks off Take Fountain, and the agonizingly glorious "Mars Sparkles Down on Me."
Only four of the set's 21 tunes were new. There were romantic disasters ( "I'm from Further North Than You") and wishful reveries ("Love Slave"). Before kicking into the goodbye song "It's Not You," Gedge said, "Now we're rockin', aren't we?"
