Youʻve got pictures of things you are passionate about. You want to organize them, and make them available so others that share your interest could view them as well. As you see other pictures about that interest, you could click a link and automatically have that picture added to all the others you have about that subject.

CANON CITY — Eager to do more than make license plates, inmate workers here are bustin' out.
Canoes and custom motorcycles are among the newest products being made by inmates working under the Colorado Correctional Industries program. Fishing rods and flies also are recent additions.
Correctional Industries oversees about 60 inmate work programs in the agricultural, manufacturing and service fields. Offerings range from furniture making to a commercial fish farm.
The managers of the programs say they're always willing to think outside the fence — and also eager to tap inmates' specific work talents.
So when inmates at the fiberglass shop at the medium-security Fremont prison aren't building fish tanks, they're making fiberglass-sealed canoes. Read More..

The "ag-gag" bills, S.F. 1118/H.F. 1369, are still alive when the Minnesota Legislature convenes January 24 and may come up for hearings this session.. These bills would make it illegal for someone to enter a farm or animal-producing facility and take videos or photos without the owner's permission. The bills would make even just possessing and distributing these videos or photos a crime. The bills did not pass in 2011 because many people, including the news media, thought they were unconstitutional.
The lead author of the bill in the House, Representative Rod Hamilton from southwestern Minnesota, lists his occupation as "pork producer" and is a former president of the Minnesota Pork Producers. We think that says it all – kind of makes us wonder what Representative Hamilton doesn't want us to see.
Please contact your legislators and let them know that this bill represents the worst kind of pandering to agri-business special interests. Don't know who your legislators are? Find them at District Finder.

Mexico's Totalplay picks Envivio for IPTV, VOD services
Totalplay Telecomunicaciones, an IPTV service provider in Mexico, has deployed Envivio Muse encoders to provision its live and on-demand services.
Totalplay Telecomunicaciones, which is a subsidiary of Grupo Salinas, wanted to extend its channel lineup and improve its video quality while also cutting down on space requirements in the headend. To help meet those goals, Totalplay is using software-based Muse encoders on the Envivio 4Caster Gen III platform.
"We deliver more than 200 SD and 50 HD channels, and it is critical that we offer our subscribers the best possible quality while also managing our infrastructure and management costs," said Eduardo Kuri, CEO of Totalplay. "Envivio provided a robust video processing solution for our TV offering, both for live and on-demand services."
Muse is Envivio's software-based encoding offering for real-time broadcast applications. It can be used for IPTV, cable, satellite, Internet and mobile service providers. According to Envivio, video services in any format and resolution are supported, as well as advanced applications such as advertisement insertion and content protection for personal devices.
"Our solutions are designed to offer the adaptability operators require, whether delivering high-definition on a big-screen TV or adaptive bit rate video on a tablet or smartphone," said Envivio President and CEO Julien Signes. "With this new deployment, Totalplay enhanced its video service for viewers in Mexico and can easily add new services over time, as well."

What do you think of the
Assos winterBootie_S7
? Share a...
Joseph Frick
Really disappointed
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I wear a US size 10.5 for starters. When I initially tried to put these on I had a ton of trouble getting them to fit over my clip on's and gave up for some time. A few foot soaked rides later I tried again and was able to fit them on. They fit great and worked as advertised. I was stoked! They were pretty dirty after a 30 mile ride in the rain so I threw them on gentle cycle with my other assos gear I used for the ride. A couple days later as I prepped for a rainy ride to work I broke the zipper on the booty. Hoping to arrive with one dry foot I tried the other on and that zipper broke also! Super bummed that I paid so much and got just one ride out of these. I spoil myself with a lot of assos gear but this product disappoints.
Any one who does pony up for them please know to handle with care as you put them on. It is a wrestling match getting them on over the shoe clips but must be done with patience and delicate care. This is my first true winter riding and I confess I am a noob. Maybe this is common knowledge and I learned the hard way. Yet my next pair will come at a much more reasonable price point. There must be other quality booties out there for much cheaper. And if I do break them I won't be pissed that I just wasted $179!!!!

I'm not "confederate". I can see how you might make the Robert E. LEE -> confederate connection.
No need to talk crap to you under a "throw away" I do it plenty as leethestud
No, apparently I am not alone in thinking that you are a huge kook.
Look here dumpster juice if anybody is a troll its you crawling out under the trash and butting in this conversation. f*** off.
F**k yeah confederate. Yankee thinks you are me. Or I am you. Or we are each other. Dumpster juice.

who thinks you are confederate? get these kooks!
this happened to me... some fcktard dropped in on me and I had to exit over the top of the wave... the wave sucked my board and the leash snapped... I was in the impact zone. I took a couple on the head but remained calm and let the waves push me in (head over heels for part of it) then pretty much just calmly but deliberately did a back float/doggy paddle in. I figured it would be too draining to try and freestyle swim back into shore.

New York, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - Los Angeles Clippers guard Jamal Crawford has been named the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year for the 2013-14 season.
Crawford claimed the honor for the second time, previously winning it for the 2009-10 campaign with Atlanta. He joined Kevin McHale, Ricky Pierce and Detlef Schrempf as the only two-time winners.
In 69 games this season, including 45 off the bench, Crawford led all reserves in scoring with an average of 18.6 points. He also notched 3.2 assists and 2.3 rebounds for a Clippers team that finished 57-25 and earned the third seed in the Western Conference playoffs.
Crawford, last year's runner-up to New York Knicks guard J.R. Smith, received 57 first-place votes and 421 points from a panel of 125 sportswriters and broadcasters throughout the United States and Canada to edge Chicago's Taj Gibson for this year's award. Gibson picked up 49 first-place votes and 395 points in the balloting.
San Antonio's Manu Ginobili, the 2007-08 winner, was a distant third in the voting with 138 points, followed by Phoenix's Markieff Morris (85) and Oklahoma City's Reggie Jackson (49).
Crawford is the first Clipper to win the award.
To be eligible, players must have come off the bench in more games than they started.

OK, so we invited experts to post here, but they haven't participated yet. There's no link, but there's also no information. The best laid plans ...
It'll happen eventually. I'm looking forward to seeing information on solar.
Earth Home Project:www.freewebs.com/stocktonunderground
Well I am ceratinly no expert but maybe I can get the ball rolling here. The picture in my profile is of my house. The side that is shown with the 8 windows is facing south. They are double pane windows about 3 x 7' each on the top 6 and 3 x 4' on the bottom 2 windows. The walls are built with 2 x 8 stick construction with about 4-6" stone facing for a total of about 14" of wall thickness. The total square footage of the house is about 2700 sq ft.including the basement. The kitchen, dining room and living room are on the south side of the house. The bedrooms are on the north side of the house. There is a 6 foot roof overhang on the south side.
On the sunny days during the winter, the sun is at a low enough angle to shine through the windows and heat the LR, DR and kitchen to a comfortable temp (65-70F). The bedrooms on the north side reach about 60F. On the cloudy days, we get very little or no solar heat and must use natural gas as a supplement. We have a fireplace that we rarely use because it is very inefficient. Our highest heat bill last winter here in the mounatins of PA was $175.00. Our total heating bill for 5 months (Nov-Mar) of winter heating was about $750.00.. October, April and May are heated by solar rays only.
During the summer the sun is aat a very high angle and never shines into the south facing windows. This helps to minimize the solar gain.
Things that I have noticed:
We have a very strong wind almost every day here. Sometimes good, sometimes bad. Its a nice way to help keep the house cool int the summer, but can be a real pain in the winter.
There is only one opening window on the windy side of the house so we don't get all of the benefits of the summer breeze. I need to work on that.
I am going to replace the carpet in the LR and DR with some type of slate/stone to help absorb the solar rays during the day and radiate them back into the house at night.
I hope that this help someone and I will try to answer any questions that I can.
Yes, I have one row of pine and one row of arborvitae trees on the west (windward) side of my house and also a row of arborvitae on the north side of the house. They are about 75 feet from the house on the west and 40 feet on the north. There are no trees on the south side as they are not needed to block the summer sun, due to the high angle of the sun. The east side is also free of trees. They do help diffuse the wind a bit. I am situated on top of a mountain and routinely get 25-40 mile per hour gust of wind. The rows of trees dont interfere with the sunlight until about an hour before sunset in the summer and not at all during the winter. The downfall to the trees is that they slow down the breeze during the summer which causes the house to have slightly more stagnant air on the humid days.
Overall I say that the trees are definitely a benefit, especially to aid in blocking or diffusing the winter winds.
Depending on the height of the window...
Prune the bottom of the trees.
Fencing can be designed to accept reflective diffusion panels in the winter. This will slow the winter winds, and reflect the sunlight back toward the house.
I'm not an expert either but I do live totally off grid and have for over 10 years.
My system is small beans compared to most. I survive on 512 watts in east central Ohio which is a challenge within itself. 99.9% of everything that requires power operates at 12 volts D.C. or less. (lighting, computer, pumps, fans, TV, stereo, cordless phone, ect..) *Note* My laptop computer operates at 15 volts D.C. via a automobile voltage adapter direct from my battery.
My system consists of 8 Unisolar 64's, Zantrex C-40 charge controller, (4) 6 volt golf cart batteries connected in series-parallel for 12 volts. I have a reserve of around 400 aHr.
I built all of my light fixtures throughout. The major lighting (big lights as I call them) are 4' fluorescent and the rest are either low wattage landscaping lights (3 watt) or LED's.
My stove, 2 fridges, h/w tank operates on propane. (I know, I know.. Maybe someday I'll convert) I can get almost 3 months from a 100# cylinder!
My h/w system is kinda different but it supplies me with hot enough water for showers. The main burner never kicks on. The water is heated with the pilot light only. I restrict the flue to hold the heat in the tank for as long as possible just so the pilot light is not smothered out. I don't have the flue vented to the outside so any of the heat that does escape stays in the house.
Ain't nuthin' fancy but it keeps me alive. I'm at the very low end of frugal..
I don't like the title expert but I guess I am an advanced solar off-grid homesteader and solar home designer.
I designed my own solar cabin that is 400 sqft and built for under $2000. I use a 350 watt solar electric system and propane for furnace, stove, fridge, and OD water heater. I have a solar batch water heater, solar composting toilet of my own design, solar air heaters and solarium porch.
I drilled my own water well and harvest rain and greywater, raise a garden, chickens and rabbits.
I have designed and built several small off-grid homes for other people and you can see my solar cabin for ideas.
Solar design is such an important aspect of our energy future. Mother Earth News is working on a variety of projects relating to this topic, and we've invited several experts in the field to help us out. We thought you'd like to meet them, so information about our solar experts (in their own words) is right here.

Under the 2014 NDAA, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and his staff have six months to come up with a plan for streamlining the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Staff, and a host of other leadership offices from 2015 through 2024. (Jim Watson/AFP via Getty Images)
Congress is pressing the Defense Department to adopt a more ambitious strategy for trimming headquarters bloat.
Under the newly signed 2014 National Defense Authorization Act, the Pentagon has six months to come up with a plan for streamlining the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Staff, and a host of other leadership offices from 2015 through 2024.
The plan is supposed to spell out the expected savings during that 10-year period, starting with its fiscal 2016 budget request. DoD must then provide annual rundowns of the spending reductions resulting from cuts to the ranks of military personnel, civilian employees and contractors, as well as other management changes.
The congressional directive comes after Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel earlier this month told subordinates to begin implementing plans for 20-percent manpower and funding cuts to OSD by 2019. Those reductions, which follow from an internal strategic management review, are supposed to save more than $1 billion by 2019, according to Hagel.
Some lawmakers apparently have much more aggressive cost-cutting goals in mind. The provision in the final authorization bill originated in the Senate, which said in its version that the Pentagons headquarters reduction plan should save not less than $100 billion over ten years. The final compromise measure drops any reference to a dollar target.
Spokesmen for Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin, D-Mich., could not be reached for comment on the reason for the change.
Besides OSD and the Joint Staff, the plan must cover the headquarters for the National Guard Bureau and combatant commands, the offices of the secretaries of the Army, Navy and Air Force and the major command headquarters for the military services.

Apr 21, 2011Charming game with a cool interactions on the world and on the society of the game. Its cool the options of that every actions affect your aspect giving you personality,thats cool but it needs more depth ,also annoying some AI don't act well and some weird glitches. The graphics are colorful , the gameplay is easy and simple.

Jan 9, 2011I really don't understand why the user reviews for this game are so low, because Fable II is a lot of fun. Sure, it's fairly linear and the gameplay can become pretty simple, but it's still a very well-designed adventure. Some people might argue that there isn't enough to do, but you really need to appreciate the things you CAN do, because those things are very enjoyable.

Aug 13, 2011I enjoy RPG and i bought this for my xbox360. As an RPG it is just rubbish. The graphics are shoddy and the story is for kids. Nothing new and nothing great.
Mar 5, 2012If you're a fan of JRPG this isn't the game for you. Storyline is very thin, combat is very simplistic. I really tried to like this game but it's become one of those games I will never finish cause I find it's a waste of my time. Also the framerate at some area's is very low and that doesn't improve the feeling of the game either.

Jul 28, 2013By technical aspects the game is not perfect, but damn-it, it's enjoyable. It's one of the only games that to me merited a replay not just once, but 3 separate times. That's right. I played through the game 4 times (not in a row), and am planning on playing it again. Way better than its sequel.

Mar 15, 2011The highly anticipated Fable 2. I enjoyed Fable 1 so much. it was awesome. I had such high hope. But I've got to be honest. For me it just didn't deliver. There's so many bugs and the most annoying thing of all is the low FPS while executing jobs and cycling through menus. I keep playing hoping it will have more to give but it just doesn't grab me like the first one. Sad face :(

Apr 23, 2011Absolutely loved this game, so much so I played it from start to finish twice. I can see from the other reviews that you either like this sort of game or you don't, and I am one that does. There are many well known voice actors, the game looks beautiful and plays well and is full of humour.
May 9, 2011Not a bad game. In my mind the user score is more accurate than the metacritic score. Fable is decent, has a good story line and is fun. Also graphics are exceptional. Problem is this game gets boring towards the end. Worth playing.

Aug 30, 2011A decent RPG, but not deserving of GOTY 2008 (Gamespot). The game-play was fun while it lasted, but the sense of achievement or adventure in the game was limited by how easy everything is, and how little there is to do.

Nov 9, 2011I enjoyed playing this game particularly with all the little options available, but it never really clicked for me. I never found the draw to come back and finish this one. Didn't stop me from playing the 3rd one on sale but it really didn't shine as much as I'd hoped it would.
Nov 15, 2011
Nov 29, 2011Its pretty average if you ask me and not as good as the first game. While Fable 2 is a ton more realistic and life like then the previous game, There are a ton and I mean a ton of bugs and glitches as well as a poorly designed world and simple combat. Its pretty disapointing.
Jan 24, 2012
May 27, 2012Can't believe this gets 89 on metacritic. This is a 7 out of 10 at best. Not that different from fable 1. Best thing about it is the humour. Really silly when a far better game like dragons dogma only gets 75. Some of these reviewers really do boost the so called AAA titles. Sad times.
Mar 21, 2014
May 17, 2012This game is better then fable 3. The story while still am easy ride, is better then Fable 3's. It's also shorter. The combat isn't as easy and you will probably be knocked out at least once in your first play-through. However the real fun comes in with playing with your morality bars, and controlling real estate. I recommend this cheaper title over it's successor.

Fable II is everything Molyneux promised the first time around. It's funny, deep, emotional, epic, and, yes, wildly charming. We are already eager for a second playthrough, and we're betting a lot of you will have exactly the same reaction. [Dec 2008, p.68]
It's a game that builds gradually and then becomes irresistible, a beautiful lump of an RPG that continues beyond the close of its main campaign, and will have you thinking about it when you're not at your 360. [Dec 2008, p.79]
The combat handles well, it's visually stunning, the voice acting and musical score are brilliant, and the epic storyline doesn't end before it begins (like the first game did). But the most appealing thing about it is that it delivers everything that Molyneux has promised, plus it is oozing with wit and charm - something sorely lacking from many games nowadays. At the end of the day, Fable II is a triumph and a must buy.

Cyclophosphamide and topotecan are standard anticancer drugs used to treat patients with Ewing's sarcoma and neuroblastoma. Despite this therapy, however, in some patients the cancer returns or persists. In this study, researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of adding the drug bevacizumab to cyclophosphamide and topotecan therapy in children and adolescents with Ewing's sarcoma or neuroblastoma that has returned or persists despite standard therapy.
Bevacizumab works by inhibiting the formation of blood vessels that tumors need to grow and spread. It is given intravenously (by vein). It is already approved for the treatment of several other types of cancer, but its use in this study is considered investigational.
This study is coordinated by POETIC, a consortium of several U.S. hospitals that conducts clinical trials for children with cancer.
To be eligible for this study, patients must meet several criteria, including but not limited to the following:

OK, put yourself in Olshey's shoes then. Why hasn't Olshey had the courage and dignity to leave when an employer is treating him that way?
You forget, Olshey has the power to change things...Have the courage to leave. If someone is supposedly treating me bad, I can't make them act the way I want them to. I don't have that power. What I do have is the power to change my situation by leaving and finding other work.
I guess he wants his cake and eat it too. If he can't find another job, he can always sit back and take it.
I have the courage to leave, and I'm talking to Portland at the moment. In fact, I'm one of the favorites to land the job. I don't have the power to change DTS, so I hope I land this job. Why aren't you worried?
I'm also not ready to leave my cruel employer. But thank goodness, if I don't get this job, I can always go back to my cruel employer.
By the way, my cruel employer knows what I'm doing and he has the nerve to continue to pay me during the slow season of the year...What savagery!
Neil Olshey
Ekker I'm shocked too. Same crew that defended Vinny. It just feels like people want to play Devil's Advocate for some reason right now. We should all be united as anti Donald. He's a scumbag.
Ekker, how do you know beyond any doubt that there hasn't been an offer in place since, say, all-star break... and that Neil didn't say "Thank you Mr. Sterling, but I'll keep working month-to-month and we'll renegotiate in the offseason", knowing that he was one of the favorites for COTY, the media would start leaning on the organization and he could pry more money than he was being offered?
I like Olshey, and while I don't believe he's the messiah that some people seem to think he is, I think he's done a pretty damn good job and that we should keep him.
But if he's asking for a ridiculous sum (let's say, for the sake of argument $25million), but Donald is only offering $5million (again, numbers straight from my arse), then is it really so outlandish for Donald to tell him to go and interview elsewhere, come back with any offer he gets (maybe $10million) and better it ($12million)?
If you're Donald Sterling, you just saved $13million. If you're Neil Olshey, you just made an extra $7million. Everybody wins.
Has nobody here ever made a deal?
If olshey leaves offer job to Billups
Not playing devil's advocate. Your crew just jumps at every little article that comes out. My "crew" is just telling you guys to wait for the outcome. Olshey is not god. DTS is not the devil. Somewhere in the middle is the truth...The truth none of now but the parties involved.
Do you think he'd go for it?
Thank goodness he didn't find another job. Who else can I pay meaningless pennies to to organize the roster? What? Oh gosh darned it. Portland just picked him up. I guess Vinny can always be GM too. Love that kid.
Eric Pincus
@DanielBain25 it's not the clippers it's olshey looking at options i think he'll stay
He should consider it Paul has a good relationship with Billups its a no brainer to bring back BG he could also recruit like he did with Martin.
I'm not even going by these articles although they absolutely add fuel to the fire. I've been saying Olshey should have a contract since before season ended. I see this as a bigger issue and not a stand alone one.
Eric is a great guy and usually right but let's see what happens. You know me Joe... when I'm wrong I'll always own up to it and apologize for jumping gun. If Olshey gets inked to multi year deal I'll apologize and shut up about Sterling for now.
its still speculation, but doesnt take away from the fact that DTS is a dirty cheapskate.
Well, I have 70 million in player contracts to counter that. You sound like a Lakers fan now.
Also, isn't everything up until this point, just speculation?
This has just as much validity as all the speculation that says he's going to Portland... exactly NONE. No disrespect intended, Eric... or to you for posting, Joe.
It's a fluid situation and anything could happen, but I happen to believe that Olshey will be back too.
It's a fluid situation and anything could happen, but I happen to believe that Olshey will be back.
That was my reason for posting this. Seems like everyone wants to believe everything they read is the god's honest truth so why not throw a wrench into the their thinking?
Yeah, I see what you were doing there
I've still yet to see a plausible argument to disprove the hypothetical scenario I suggested.
Actually, I answered that in a quote right above yours.
What quote do you mean? Can you repost your answer?
Ok, I searched every Hoops rumor site I could find, and I don't find one single rumor that says Olshey is in at Portland. The rumors just say he is one of the finalist. On the other hand, the more you read, the more you realize that the Portland job is not a good gig. They have fired like 3 GMs in the last 3 years for .................. doing a good job. Geez
Olshey should stay where is is loved by all. He also needs to win a ring, so he is only one or two moves away from getting us to the finals. Give him a raise and let him get to work. We don't need any distractions away from the task at hand.
Oh yeah... THAT.
Another thing that people haven't factored in yet is that every dollar Donald saves on Neil's contract is a dollar that could be spent on better players and the inevitable luxury tax we will have to pay for them.
But let's just give Neil a Dunleavy contract and cut players to pay for it.
"Chris Paul will be with me for a lifetime," Sterling said. "And Blake will too. I'm not going to ever let these guys go. They are max players, and so you're going to pay that and keep them." -Donald Sterling
If DTS doesn't keep his word, than you guys can all call him cheap. Think about this, isn't it better to be a business man and be smart with your decisions? Sterling gave Brand a huge contract he didn't deserve was he cheap? He also paid big money to Kaman.
This is the 1st time in Clippers history that we actually have 2 Superstar players, and Sterling the 'dirty cheapskate' is willing to give them both max money not only because they deserve it, but because he's a great business man and he'll make profits from all our playoff victories and championships
Just read an article from another blogger at CBS sports entitled,,,Clips Willing To Let Olshey Walk. I was going to post it until I got to the bottom of the article and the writer called the Clippers owner,,,,Paul Allen,,,,. This is the quality and fact checking that goes into these articles.
Or Portland does something insane to see if we will bite,,like offer 10 million a year to him. If they did that,,who would think DTS was nuts for not matching it? I wouldn't blame him or DTS (but I would really blame Portland for sniping him ,,but when he gets fired in a year he could come back).
PS: I know Allen owns the Jailblazers,,,but proof read your crap,,man.
lol i never knew clipper fans were supposed to defend DTS.
yes, i know very well that he's willing to shell out money on players ever since he matched Elton and Corey, but that is NOT the case for coaches and front office staff.
One or two moves??? You are far from beeing realistic on that.
I am not saying it cant be done next season but for sure its gonna need inbetween 4-7 moves who work out (very) well to do so.
Watch SAS who will make it all the way. They have a packed roster and if you want to pass that sweep even we got, youre gonna need a packed roster, too.
It's not so much about defending him than it is about resorting to that tactic. That's been the theme it seems for Lakers fans this season.
Dunleavy, if i recall, got a good contract from DTS.
I stopped taking CF86 seriously after he made an avatar bet on insidehoops against the Clippers. We were down in the 4th and instead of supporting the team he was talking all sorts of negative things about the team and a member there said he thought the Clippers could come back and win and CF made an avatar bet with him that the Clippers would lose. He's a hysterical little girl sometimes.
Pretty douchey post.
'86 is cool even when I disagree with him.
FYI personal attacks are not allowed here- here are the site rules and guidelines for your reference:
http://clippers.topbuzz.com/PNphpBB2-vi ... -1593.html
Yeah but didn't DTS try to not honor his contract after he was fired? I forget or never found out what the result was of that whole mess.
is a contract really a contract if DTS fails to knowledge it? there's a reason he was sued.
You should get your story straight. You're talking about the game against the Hornets where the Clippers were down 13 in the 4th at Staples... and I said the game was over. If that makes me a bad fan, so be it. That was during the stretch where they were losing left and right and falling apart in March. Not to mention I had every right to call out the players for lazy play and lack of effort. They played like a bunch of zombies with no heart.
Read the rules David posted because we have a zero tolerance policy on trolling.
BTW thanks Joe and and Cleepers. Even when we disagree I like and respect you both greatly.
yeah, it went to court and somehow the court ruled in Donald's favor and he only had to pay part of the year. He is the only owner in any sport that I can think of who has done that. His business tactics are shameful and a black eye on Clipps fans.
"yeah, it went to court and somehow the court ruled in Donald's favor and he only had to pay part of the year. He is the only owner in any sport that I can think of who has done that. His business tactics are shameful and a black eye on Clipps fans."
Part of the reason I think Sterling might be reluctant to sign anyone to a long term contract IS the Dunleavy situation
Here's a guy who was a bafoon
Probably worse than Vinny
Had one good season with us and he can't be fired for a lack of performance
Personally I hate the idea of a contractual obligation where neither party can walk away when they please and obviously that's not unique to the NBA
at the same time Neil is responsible for the very changing of the Clippers culture
From setting up meetings with Lebron's CAA agency to getting Paul to LA I think he can be trusted and I think Sterling will match whatever offer he gets
Call me crazy but I like what DTS is trying to do with month to month, year to year contracts. At least for players.
Everytime a player gets paid, they go in tank mode. You ever wonder why players do their best in contract years?
Anyways, I've learned over the years to just roll with this team. Whether our PG is CP3 or Smush Parker, the only thing constant is DTS.
Yes, but the contract was given. It was also Dunleavy who stepped down from his position the he was contracted to do. Yeah, Sterling pulled a Sterling in the end but my point was that Sterling did give out a big contract.
Donald had a case. Dunleavy stepped down from his position and felt he should be payed for a position he wasn't contracted to do.
Contracts, they're funny sometimes.
Another thing I don't get
How come guys like Dunleavy get a free pass when they underperform and it's chalked up to "oh Sterling's a scumbag not fulfilling his contractual obligations" but almost everyone attacks guys like Rashard Lewis or Gilbert Arenas on much more massive contracts who are now being paid to warm the bench for other teams
There's all this talk about the NBA needed non guaranteed contracts for players well what about coaching staff? what about executives like Otis Smith or Billy King who make moronic move after moronic move?
Excuse me use of the word "girl", but he does act hysterical at times. As for the rest of my original post, it's all true. He was hysterical and gave up on the Clippers and made a bet against them. Those are the facts and I just posted up the truth.
BTW, David- Cleepers said my post was douchey, I want to know if that's considered a personal attack or not?
Did you or did you not make an avatar bet against the Clippers? I don't know of a single self respecting fan who'd do something like that.
Situation keep instigating and you'll find yourself banned. You literally came here with a purpose to instigate it seems.
Wow dude, threatening to ban me because you bet against your own team? Wow.
Good point, it's not a good situation up there. Neil is smart, he's gained a lot of respect in only a year. It would be short sighted for him to bail now because the Blazers offer him a little more money. You're going up there to work for an owner that continually fires good GM's and also is known to mettle in decisions as much as any owner in the league. He'll veto your move and then fire you for not doing it.
The other thing is it's pretty much guaranteed that this team is going to get even better next year and more than likely we'll lock up these two starts and begin a run of 5-10 years of contending...If he takes another step or two, or even better if we can actually get to the finals in the next couple years, Neil will be literally one of the most sought after GM's in the NBA...His value is going to continue to rise and he could get an even better gig in 2014 if he really wanted to leave.
Unfinished business here, he won't leave at least not yet.
That's not what it's about. It's about you coming here and calling me a girl and continuing the issue when warned to chill about it. Whatever personal vendetta you have you need to let it go.
No because he was talking about the post. If he said YOU were "douchey", then yeah it'd be a personal attack. BTW trolling another member is not allowed either. Appreciate it!

Yep. It should not harm anything. The voltage the CPU is made/specified for is the Voltage where it is guaranteed by the mfg. that all transistors will shift and switch around. If you lower the voltage the power consumption will drop (I forgot the damn formula with frq. and voltage), without a loss of computing power. What can happen is, that not all transistors will switch and so you will get more or less severe errors. It is a matter of experiment but one should try to set the lowest specified voltage in every case, that should be safe. If your own CPU was produced on a nice day you might be able to go lower, if it was produced on a rainy monday... well. Not much capacity in undervolting.
Please note that not all BIOSes are genius and so if your box hangs after underclocking or undvervolting (or over~) you will have to reset the BIOS/CMOS by jumper so it will forget the settings a go back to failsafe defaults.
Some errors will not happen during P.O.S.T. but later when the OS kicks in or if you just stress your CPU. Then you can enter your BIOS setup and regulate the setings back to a safe position.
more on topic: @ kbios
If you ever happen to have some spare money, that thing was 35 Euros, in case you live e.g. in the US it should be cheaper (all electronics is more expensive in Europe, don't ask me why).
Though the boxed coolers aren't that noisy, esp. when you put them to a regulated fan port so it will regulate fan speed according to the temp. sensors. And a phenom cooler should always have the capacity for Athlons.
Wow.. that's new to me. I take that back then.
One should not write long post b4 seeing what other might have posted meantime. :/
Umm, that sounds really strange that they damaged the IMC. I would not expected that to have happened. Dead IMC p.o.s.t. code. Uh, sound horrible. Just some beeps and a number maybe and then it's over. Maybe someone from AMD could shed some light on it how to damage something by undervolting? Or on this "current sink" thesis from the thread?
Looks like he went a little too low with 1.088.
Just received the motherboard and set everything up. Well, it works great! With the Phenom II heatsink and no thermal paste, the Athlon idles (bios) at 50°. Can I expect a much better result with some paste? (Just not to open everything up again in vain). Thanks
Hi, thanks for your reply. Since I am using a Phenom II heatsink (which I previously used on another processor) I have removed the original paste to use a new one. I'll now try putting it on again and post the results.
You didn't use _any_ paste? Then I'd expect improvements of 10°C or even more. Paste is very important.

lets hope this feature will make it into the alpha in time
Phoronix: As A Feature, Fedora 14 May Actually Ship On Time
Red Hat's John Poelstra who is the Program Manager for Fedora and its "feature wrangler" has proposed an interesting feature today for Fedora 14: to actually ship it on time. The goal would be to not only ship Fedora 14 final according to their release schedule, but the alpha and beta releases too...
lets hope this feature will make it into the alpha in time
If the massive overhauls to half a dozen key systems from fedora 8 to fedora 13 hasn't killed everyone... I'm sure getting back on schedule isn't that big of a deal. If fedora 14 can get as far into open source 3d as 12 got into 2d there won't be much to do for 15. All the other ones though would start with sane feature lists and then add 5 more categories 2 weeks before beta. LOL
Who gives a damn, honestly. They should ship it when it's ready like always, I don't get why everyone wants to go Ubuntu nowadays.
Never mind the got python 2.7 on the feature list for 14. It's do or die. They aren't done the max pain developement model yet.
I don't care about delayed Fedora releases. One or two weeks just don't matter. No release had servere bugs, you just install and it runs. Back in my Ubuntu days I've seen patchorgys just after release just to get it run.
before doing a ubuntu upgrade i always wait minimum one week. so that the bugs get sorted out.
Let's go back to Windows 9x! Fedora is already as bleeding edge as possible, yet cutting release schedules to get it out is perfectly sane!
Nowadays even commercial software giants delay if it's not ready and right. Vista has been overhauled three times. Apple spend 10 years before the iPad was where it didn't totally suck.
Wake up...
The idea is simply to do the development right so that it works within schedule and we don't have to delay to release with the right quality. Take it from me, we (QA) are still not going to let anything go out that doesn't meet the release criteria.
The very company that you work for took Fedora 12 to make RHEL 6.0 that's released just days ago and you tell me that what's released today is the 'right quality'? And then you want to put more pressure on the release?
I just updated the very Fedora install that I'm posting this from and I get more updates on almost a daily basis than the hack and slash Ubuntu with their blended Linux kernels and X version.
You've got to be kidding me!

The rabid hordes of Woot Screaming Monkey seekers at CESes past have taught us a hard lesson: monkey giveaways must be tightly controlled or we'll never get anything else done at our booth. So like every day, today at 2 PM only, you can turn up to the Woot booth (21902, South Hall) for your Screaming Monkey with a design that's exclusive to CES (until we decide to sell it on the site someday).
But yesterday, we did a little something special. And I mean very little. With the aid of a tiny, crackling amplifier, myself as host, and Randall Cleveland as a hirsute Vanna White, two brave volunteer players played Failure, the only quiz show dedicated exclusively to questions about famous failures, disaster, blunders, and flops. In Failure, players don't get any points for getting questions right: they only lose points for getting questions wrong. Watch the action in the video - and then play Failure: The Home Game with the questions listed below!
Failure: The Home Game Two players take turns answering these questions. Each player's score starts at zero - but remember, no points are awarded for correct answers. Points are only subtracted for incorrect answers.
Player One answers here (questions 1, 3, 5, 7); Player Two answers here (questions 2, 4, 6, 8); Final Failure answers here (question 9); complete answers here (questions 1-9)
Thanks to Mike and Jeremy for playing, and thanks to the rowdy mob that surrounds our booth every day at 2 PM. You people are awesome, as long as nobody gets trampled in the monkey rush.
If failure is your thing, you'll find it by the buttload in our CES 2012 coverage.
Your answer for #4 is wrong. Buzz was a failure from the moment it was conceived.
Hey woot got me on camera!

I won't be running for president of the Google Buzz Fan Club in this lifetime. But I have to assume you never experienced the clusterhole that was Wave. Just look at it: If you're designing a social network, it might be a good idea to hire some designers with social skills. Wave makes Wuphf look visionary. Anyway, Google gave Wave the hook just three months after its public launch. Buzz lasted 22 months. Wave "wins"!
Complete this famous line from the Paul Newman film Cool Hand Luke: "What we have here is a …" (80 points)
Woot FAIL. It should read "What we've got here is ..." No "a" or "have" in the original.
dcobranchi wrote:Woot FAIL. It should read "What we've got here is ..." No "a" or "have" in the original.
Well, that's the great thing about calling the game Failure. Anything we screw up just enhances the concept. (Thanks for the correction.)
Any chance that Powerpoint playing in the booth will be uploaded? I have a suspicion it was completely unnecessary and the booth's only purpose was to launch monkeys.
While Buzz certainly seemed DOA, Google inexplicably kept it on life support for much longer.
LOL the guy "trying" to throw @ 1:13. Someone failed PE. And why were they throwing them anyway??? Woot monkeys are meant to be "flung" not thrown.

Don't go dissin' on thefenst. He knows that the only way to safely deliver a screaming monkey into a crowd is an overhand toss. If you fling a screaming monkey into a crowd, you could take someone's eye out.

It was the fireball above the dark highway that first caught John Williamson's eye that hot summer night of Aug. 9. A veteran Bishop Fire Department volunteer, he was off duty, headed from his girlfriend Amy Steinwand's home in Big Pine to his home in Bishop.
He stared in horror at the seething red mass and turned to Steinwand, who was driving. "Go," he said. "Go, go, go."
They shot up the highway, flying past cars and trucks, headed toward the inferno.
In the lap of constantly moving tectonic plates, amid volcanic, pine strewn mountains, Mammoth is a singular place.
Its people match the granite that rises high above the town. Strong, generally selfless souls who think nothing of moving mountains to help someone who has been injured, has an illness or has lost their home.
Mammoth and the Eastern Sierra are peopled by individuals with outsized hearts.
Look at the Search and Rescue team: Its members will drop whatever they're doing to head out into difficult terrain in all kinds of weather to rescue those who are lost or injured.
By Joe Parrino
Town Council is considering how to manage the spending of Measure R and Measure U funds, appointing committee members to help with the issue and considering some very high-end, and worthwhile, projects. All in the name of addressing the needs of ALL recreation opportunities in Mammoth for residents and visitors, and to create a sustainable economy year round. The projects under consideration all require enormous capital outlay, and one recreational opportunity missing from the discussions is to open up the existing Motocross track for public recreational riding.
By Kim Stravers
It was short, this summer – a tease. Skiing in shirtsleeves through June and early July, we sunned ourselves on ridges, looking wistfully at the meadows and mountains beyond and wondering how long it would be before they'd grow wildflowers instead of rotten corn. It was August before the high country melted out enough for most of us to explore it in hiking boots and running shoes, and the aspens went gold within a few short weeks. Then, by November: winter.
In an incident that easily could have turned tragic, a 47-year-old Bishop man spent Saturday night alone and without a sleeping bag, in a steep ravine below White Mountain, after two hiking companions abandoned him there.
The hiking companions then continued their hike up to the old, restored cabins at the Champion Sparkplug Mine, where they spent the night – with sleeping bags and under a roof.
Bishop resident Patrick Toon was hiking in on the trail to the mine Saturday when he became separated from his group, according to Mono County Sheriff's Deputy Pete De George.
Welcome. Everything's open.
For the first Thanksgiving weekend since 2004, Mammoth Mountain Ski Area is open from Eagle Express and Cloud Nine Express, all the way over to Outpost 14.
"This," said ski area spokesman Dan Hansen, "is huge for us."
"It's been an amazing early-season snowfall. Mother Nature has been very good to us."
The Mammoth Lakes Police Department is investigating the circumstances of a single vehicle, roll-over traffic collision resulting in the death of a 30-year-old resident of Summerland, Calif.
On Tuesday, November 23, the police were notified of a vehicle that was off the roadway in the vicinity of Le Verne and Fir Streets in the Bluffs area of Mammoth Lakes. Officers located a Toyota Tacoma on its side approximately 100 feet down an embankment.
Law enforcement officials confirmed a fatality in Mammoth Tuesday, but did not release any other information, pending notification of kin and an on-going investigation.
Updates will be posted as soon as they are available.
The fatality was storm related, other sources said.
The storms of this past weekend came with some drama, when a Bishop man in his forties had to be rescued from a ravine where he had been injured during a fall, below the Campion Sparkplug Mine/ Jeffrey Canyon area in the White Mountains Sunday.
According to a Mono County Search and Rescue Team member, who wished to remain anonymous, the rescue took nine hours due to the steep and snow-slippery and terrain. A break in the weather did cooperate with the rescuers, however, and the man was eventually transported to Northern Inyo Hospital will non-life-threatening injuries.
The snowplows plowed. The tow trucks towed. Police investigators investigated. The skiers skied, the snowboarders rode, the sledders sledded, the snowshoers showeshoed and it was a perfect day.
Last Sunday, it was good to hear the familiar voice of Doug Howell and his snow removal team from Mammoth Firewood come crackling across the scanner. It was like an old shoe.
"Careful coming around that bend, it's a blind corner."
"There's a car parked in the middle of the road!"
"Just about got Canyon cleaned up. Headed to Lakeview."
Winning games helps.
Going to the playoffs is fun and exciting for everyone, from the players and coaches to the supporters of the team and the fans in the stands.
But this year's Mammoth High School football team was bigger than that just for having taken the field.
After a lost season in which Mammoth had no team at all, the Huskies returned under the wing of their resolute coach, Tom Gault and his industrial-strength assistant coach Marty Thompson – a former Fresno State and Detroit Lions tight end.
(Updated 9 a.m. Sunday) The other shoe of the Big Storm dropped on Mammoth Saturday night and Sunday.
After a lull in the action on Saturday afternoon, the second wave of the storm kicked into high gear overnight, starting at about 10 p.m. Saturday and running into Sunday. At the top of Mammoth Mountain, a wind gust of 107 miles an hour was recorded at 4 a.m. Sunday
By 8 a.m. Sunday, the wind had calmed to an average wind speed of 32 miles an hour and a foot and a half of new snow was on the ground at the Sesame Snow Study Site, near the Main Lodge at Mammoth Mountain Ski Area.
Note: The What's Up item about the Thompsons that ran in Friday's paper has been corrected in this version.
That was the crew of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" up on Mammoth Mountain Saturday, which took marketing whiz Joani Lynch a bit by surprise, but she (Joani) is fast on her feet. Ellen didn't show, but "Amy" (the dorky on-camera cohort in the blue biz suit) came up for 15 hours of taping. The bit aired Wednesday. For two minutes. "Hollywood's rough," said Joani. ...
If and when the Town of Mammoth Lakes loses its appeal of the $30 million Hot Creek litigation against it, Mammoth could be thrown into a Chapter 9 bankruptcy whose effects could last many years.
But citizens who are anticipating the immediate effects of such a predicament are unlikely to notice anything different at all.
"The notion that the town would be shut down because of bankruptcy is a layman's misunderstanding of how it actually works," said one of the participants in the court battle, who preferred anonymity over concerns in interfering with the ruling.
Mammoth Times Editorial A place for Mammoth High School students to gather during lunch time is a gift worthy of recognition by the entire community. Some students hang out at Vons during their break; others clamber like goats on the rocks in the High School parking lot. Joanne and Byng Hunt just made the goat option more attractive.

How can you check that fan/temperator monitor is working. I thought there was only work done on >r500 cards for that.
Trying to test out the r300g driver from git under the latest 2.6.35 release candidate, and everything seems to work until I try to start up any opengl app, the window of the app is drawn (plain black) but nothing is rendered, the app just "stalls", for example with `LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxgears`;and that's it, it just stalls there, even if left for over an hour, but strangely (to me) the system isn't under load at all during this time.Code:libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/dri/tls/r300_dri.so libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/dri/r300_dri.so libGL: Can't open configuration file /etc/drirc: No such file or directory. libGL: Can't open configuration file /etc/drirc: No such file or directory. Running synchronized to the vertical refresh. The framerate should be approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate.
Nothing is reported to dmesg or Xorg.0.log while the app is "running" either.
Tested under both rc1 and rc3 kernels, under 2.6.34 with the exact same userland components rendering "works" but it it slows the system to a crawl, agp issues fixed in 2.6.35?
This is with the 1.8.2 rc1 xorg-server, with libdrm, mesa and xf86-video-ati from git.
So, should I file a bug with Xorg log, dmesg and all that, and if so is the freedesktop bugzilla the right place for (what seems like) a kms issue?
FWIW, glxinfo suggests all is good, and with this kernel the full 512MB of the card is detected, and I have thermal/fan monitoring for the card (nice work on all that).
How can you check that fan/temperator monitor is working. I thought there was only work done on >r500 cards for that.
You're probably thinking of the (very) new support for the internal temp monitoring for r600 and up, but there's also support for hardware monitoring via third-party hw chips on the i2c bus on r500.
For example, the 512MB sapphire x1950 pro agp card I have has an lm64 chip which is supported by the in-kernel lm63 driver.
wrt my original post, thought I should add that I get the same behaviour (no rendering) with classic mesa as with r300g (should have tested that before...), so definitely looks like a kms issue to me.

Hi Jess, ZERO cream cheese required :) The cashews provide all the creaminess you need. TRUST me. Try it and you shall see! <3
Raw cranberry lemon cheesecake bites
Prep Time
15 min -
Total Time
2 hours 15 min -
Shelf Life
1 week in freezer -
12 servings
Lemon Cheesecake Base
- 2 cups cashews
- 1/2 cup lemon juice
- 1/2 cup honey (or maple syrup or agave nectar)
- 1/3 cup coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Cranberry Topping
- 2 cups fresh cranberries
- 1/2 cup dates
Recipe Directions
- 1. Throw all lemon cheesecake ingredients into your high-speed blender and blend, starting very slowly and then increasing the speed. (You may need to stop and start it a bit if your blender is getting hung up. If your blades won't move, turn blender off, create an air pocket down the side with a knife, and then blend again starting on low.) Keep blending until it's very smooth, like a creamy white fudge with no cashew chunks at all.
- 2. Pour lemon filling mixture into the final pans/molds and place in freezer (to let them firm up a bit while you are making the cranberry topping).
- 3. You do NOT need to wash the blender. (It will have some lemon filling leftovers in it, but that's okay.) Throw the cranberries and dates into your (dirty) high-speed blender. Blend until nice and smooth.
- 4. Hopefully your lemon cheesecake bases has firmed up a bit in the freezer (15 mins or so?), now use a spoon and plop the cranberry topping onto the lemon filling and smooth it out with the back of a spoon.
- 5. Place recipe back in freezer. Freeze until it reaches the desired (firm) consistency (5 hours or so!).
- 6. Store in freezer at all times. To eat, just open the freezer, grab what you want and eat immediately.
The Rawtarian's Thoughts
By The RawtarianAlthough this recipe looks pretty fancy, it's actually quite easy. All you need is a blender, and although you need to use it twice you don't even have to wash it in between uses so this can be whipped up very quickly.
The taste of this recipe is majorly tangy, what with the lemon and the cranberries. Little children might not care for it, but I think it has a gourmet flavor and I absolutely love it.
Now, I've explained everything quite nicely in the directions, so you should be able to follow along quite well. (If I do say so myself!)
The biggest question mark will be deciding what kind of dish or molds to use. If you don't have a lot of kitchen gear, you can just get a big brownie pan, cake pan or pie dish and dump the entire recipe in it (first the lemon filling, then adding the cranberry on top about 10 minutes later). Then freeze, and slice once frozen like a big cake. Easy!
As you can see in my pics, I made a few different sizes of cheesecake "bites", from a little "cake" (using a mini springform pan) to two smaller versions using silicone molds (medium square molds and tiny round molds). I actually prefer the tiniest "bites", because they're a nice little snack in a small portion. Also, a tip if you're using silicone molds, just fill them up and leave them in the freezer in the molds. Then pop them out of the molds just before eating.
One last note, these will melt really quickly so you must eat them frozen.

Raw cranberry lemon cheesecake bites
Absolutely loved this recipe Laura-Jane, thanks so much for sharing. I made this tonight and can I just say, the Lemon cheesecake base is AH-MAZING! I mixed it up a little bit as I didn't have Cranberries, so I used frozen mixed berries and I added a bit of Cacao powder, it was divine! I will be trying it again with Cranberries as I think it would be delicious. The possibilities are endless, I'm thinking Raspberry too! Mmmm. Thanks again.

Hi Jane, can I use macadamia nuts for the base? And if so, do I have to saok them? Thanks:-)
Hi Laura Jane, as I can't buy fresh cranberries where I live, do you think dried would work. Also thank you , for your generosity in sharing such amazing recipes. With gratitude. Karen :)
Rue Olp's Review
Raw cranberry lemon cheesecake bites
These are amazing! One question. I make a ton of stuff from your website and people are always asking me to give them individual recipes. Too much work for me. Can I just paste your link onto my Facebook next to where I put a pic of your stuff that I make. Then then can have direct access to you;)
Is it possible to make this without coconut oil? I have an alleryg to coconut :(. Irish moss? Not sure how to use Irish moss though.
I made these today with half cashews and half macadamia nuts for the base and used acai and raspberries for the top and it was amazing!!!
Made this tonight and right now I am waiting for it to set up! But it smells so good and the stuff I liked of the spoon was yummy

Diana's Review
Raw cranberry lemon cheesecake bites
Crust Ingredients:
3/4 cup well packed soft dates, chopped
1 Tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 Tbsp. vanilla
Pinch of sea salt
1 1/2 cup ground almonds or almond flour
1/2 cup dried coconut
1/2 cup cashews
Crust Directions:
Put the dates in a food processor and blend until a smooth paste forms. Sometimes it turns into a hard block and the blade has a hard time going through it, and if that happens, add about a tablespoon of water. Add the remaining ingredients and mix until smooth.
Put the crust mixture in the bottom of a springform pan and put it in the freezer until you are ready to assemble.
Diana's Review
Raw cranberry lemon cheesecake bites
Thank you for sharing this recipe :)
i don't have this type of blender, i just have a very basic regular blender. will it work if i will soak cashews for 2 hours at least?
Can most cashew based recipes be subbed with almonds? Or should I be the one to try this with almonds and report back? :-)
We have a cashew allergy in our home, so I'm curious.
Hi SueBee,
In short, no, almonds are not a good sub for cashews, cashews are way creamier and will react quite differently.
If you can do macadamia nuts they would work better instead of almonds.
Almonds aren't creamy or oily enough - I almost think you'd have better luck maybe using bananas instead, or maybe some almonds and some bananas - it will turn it into a banana-ish cake, but it will at least have the creaminess
Also, this podcast might be of interest to you if you have time to listen:
I just made those little cranberry-lemon cheecake bits…they are so incredibly deliciously sweet and tangy….the presentation can only get better as i make these more and more often. So easy to make with my Vitamix. Thank you for this recipe..

The Presidio held an event showcasing the ground breaking of a general instruction building here March 10.
Mrs. Gail McGinn, the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (Plans), in her opening remarks at the ceremony, stated that the opening of a new general instruction building at DLIFLC is an important addition to the Department of Defenses' capability to train its members in foreign languages vital to our national security.
Given current global engagements by our Armed Forces, language skills enhance broader operational and strategic capabilities - just as important as weapon training - on the battlefield and across the entire array of DoD missions.
"This new GIB, along with the Alfie Khahil building that is nearing completion and the projected FY 11 GIB, demonstrate Congress' and the Department of Defense's tremendous commitment to excellence in language training," said COL Sue Ann Sandusky, Commandant of the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center.
"Clearly, Ms. McGinn, the DoD Senior Language Authority, Congressman Sam Farr, and other local representatives in Congress have been phenomenal in recognizing DLI's unique contributions to our national security efforts as we move forward with these new GIBs."
The addition of the new facility will directly support the efforts of the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center to increase its language instruction capability.
The construction of the 47,000 square-foot instructional building, which will hold 36 classrooms, will provide a state-of-the-art learning atmosphere for service members to learn foreign language and culture.
Additionally, the facility will have numerous academic support areas, such as faculty offices, a conference room, test-control areas, multi-purpose training areas and cultural rooms.
Construction on the GIB will begin March 22 and is scheduled for completion in November 2011. The cost is projected at $13,416,600 for the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) silver-level building.
The building is the second of three general instruction buildings that will be erected on the Presidio of Monterey over the next four years. The third building is planned to begin construction in fiscal year 2011 with a completion expected in 2012.
In closing, Mrs. McGinn said, "DLI is a national treasure...and is the keystone of our effort to give our operating forces...the ability to operate with our allies and partners in times of war and peace, whether in operational or humanitarian missions."
