Ihave a 2000 Toyota Camry with 143k mile on it. My garage is not terribly wide and I need to jack up just the front to work on the brake calipers and pads. The normal jacking points according to the manual (Chilton's, etc), and according to the Toyota owners manual, is between two notches along the weld on the frame rail just inside of each wheel (just behind the front wheels, and ahead of the rear wheels). This is for a different model Toyota, but the jack point positions are essentially the the same.
So, I want to jack the front up all at once. I found a place on the frame and used a scrap 2x4 to cushion the frame from the floor jack. Since I need to hold up the front end, but due to the narrow garage I can't get under the passenger side to place that jack stand I need to find a place under the frame to put both stands.
You really should not be nervous at all about using 2x4's placed between either the jack and the car or the jack stand and the car. There are several reasons why you want to use them, but the main reason why I use them is to distribute the load of the car over a broader area, which helps prevent damage to the car from the jack stands. The place I usually put them in a situation like yours is to put the 2x4 just inside the pinch rail where your image shows to put the jack. This area has the same basic support as the pinch rail does. By putting them just inside (away from you towards the inside of the car), you'll most likely find a flat/secure spot where you won't have any wobble from the 2x4 like you'd see at the rail. Ensure your 2x4 is long enough (I like mine at least 12" in length) to support the car without breaking in half (long ways). You'll find this not only supports the car, but will be very secure in the process.
Where on the frame can I place the stands? They have to be far enough apart to evenly support the frame, and that means wide placement. It's a front wheel drive car so things get complicated for finding strong frame points.
One place I've found on most front wheel drive cars to support the load is where you find a tie-in point for the front suspension. In the diagram you provided (and as @Ben mentioned), you'd be looking at the subframe mounting points. These areas will be well supported due to the fact they need to be in order to do their job. Placing the 2x4 along this area will distribute the load as well as provide excellent stability.
When doing front suspension work, only place the car high enough so the front suspension is completely extended, but the front tires are just off the ground. This will allow you to get the tires off without issue, but will be low enough you'd never have an issue with it rolling off the jack stands (as long as the vehicle is on level ground).
Again, I wouldn't worry so much about a 2x4 placement between the jack stand and the car. It is usually a little unnerving when you hear them creak a little when the car is put down on top of them, but I've never had an issue using them. You'll find what works for you
When hitching and unhitching loaded trailers, D-L heavy duty tongue jacks are real back savers. These easy-to-install, smooth operating jacks can be mounted in a variety of ways on various sizes of trailer tongues. They reduce the physical effort required to maneuver a loaded trailer into hitching position or removing the trailer from a vehicle. All models are made from heavy gauge steel for strength and durability. Features include:

On my rusty 2000, I usually put them on the trailing arm right up against the bushing where it meets the body. On the later ones (I'm not sure the exact cutoff, but our '04 Outbacks definitely have them), there's a brace on the bottom of that going forward to the diff mount bracket (?) that's fabulous for jack stands.
So one day some local bigwig got permission from the FCC to put up a radio station and its towers across the street from us - roughly. The transmission from that station would naturally blur over many other stations , pretty much all of them excepting the local high watt news/BS station.
I got some slotted polyurethane pucks on Amazon that allow me to use the lift points for the OEM scissors jack; the slot allows the pressure to spread to the body and protects the pinch welds. I like having the jack stands as wide as possible for stability, and feel much more comfortable using this method.

Grace finds it hard to call it quits with Ben, whose charm makes her reconsider. Meanwhile, to save his failing cabaret act, Jack unsheathes his claws and writes nasty new material based on Will's private life.
Grace realizes that although she enjoys Ben's company she does not actually love him, so she decides to break up with him. To her surprise, Ben refuses to accept the break up and instead keeps on insisting "we're good". Finally, with help from Karen, Grace convinces herself that she does indeed love Ben, but then he breaks up with her.
Jack has a new cabaret act called Jack 2000, which starts to bomb until on the spot, he starts making fun of Will, who is in the audience. Will is insulted, and stops telling Jack details about his personal and romantic life. Jack's act fails when he has no new material and feels depressed that his best friend being mad at him. Karen convinces Will to help Jack out, and Will gives Jack permission to use even his most embarrassing moments. Jack, reminded of what a good friend Will is, decides not to use them and still ends up performing a fantastic show.

This jack is made to raise and lower your Camper or Utility Trailer with ease while using the smooth and comfortable ergonomic Handle featured on this Bulldog Top Wind Jack. Due to the existing A-Frame style Plate, this allows the option to either Weld this Jack to your existing A-Frame coupler, or if your A-Frame Coupler features pre-drilled holes it can be secured by bolting through the Coupler. We recommend using 3/8" x 1 1/4" Bolts if you are looking to bolt on rather than weld.

On May 31st, 2000, I signed up with a new service called LiveJournal. I was user 4,136 which entitled me a permanent account and street cred in some alternate geeky universe which I have not yet visited. I was living in the Sunshine Biscuit Factory in Oakland California and starting a company to dispatch couriers, taxis, and emergency services from the web.
One night in July of that year I had an idea to make a more "live" LiveJournal. Real-time, up-to-date, from the road. Akin to updating your AIM status from wherever you are, and sharing it. For the next 5 years, I thought about this concept and tried to silently introduce it into my various projects. It slipped into my dispatch work. It slipped into my networks of medical devices. It slipped into an idea for a frictionless service market. It was everywhere I looked: a wonderful abstraction which was easy to implement and understand.
The 6th year; the idea has finally solidified (thanks to the massively creative environment my employer Odeo provides) and taken a novel form. We're calling it twttr (though this original rendering calls it
stat.us; I love the word.ed domains, e.g.
gu.st/). It's evolved a lot in the past few months. From an excited discussion and persuasion on the South Park playground to a recently approved application for a SMS shortcode. I'm happy this idea has taken root; I hope it thrives.
Turning Potential into Reality: The Invention of the Integrated Circuit Your browser does not support the video tag. Jack S. Kilby held his Nobel Lecture on 8 December 2000, at Aula Magna, Stockholm University. He was presented by Professor Stig Hagstrm.
Summary: In seeking practical solutions to replace the vacuum tube as a switch or amplifier for controlling the flow of electrons, Bell Labs successfully used semiconductor materials to create the transistor in 1956. The rapid development of electronic computer technology started at Texas instruments in the summer of 1958. Kilbys notebook has the first diagram of an integrated circuit where all components were made of the same material. The integrated circuit concept was accepted around 1960 and many applications followed, beginning with the pocket calculator in 1964. Since then, development has been rapid, following Moores law, where the number of integrated circuits on a chip doubles every 18 months.
