LCD media storage
Gus says, "Like the rest of flat-screen TV buyers I found out that my old CRT-based entertainment center was inadequate for the new wideness of LCD. Well, I had to look no further than my Ikea Pax wardrobe. This 93" tall utilitarian behemoth is nothing more than shelves where I put my clothes. However, the idea came to me that it might also serve as a good entertainment center, just in need of a little hacking. The Pax unit I purchased in 2006 was $111.28. This included the box itself and six shelves. I figured for that price I would have all of the entertainment center storage I needed plus I would undercut the price of a smaller (inadequate), however, TV specific unit by at least $60, according to what I had seen listed. So I saved my pennies and took my measurements to make sure my 37" television would fit inside my, what happens to be, 39" wide wardrobe and I put caution and shelf strength to the wind and headed down to Ikea. It turns out they have inflation in Sweden. In 2008 my aforementioned Pax configuration cost me $149.80. However, I was still beating the price of some of the smallest TV stands by a nice margin.
Now, you might be saying to yourself, "this entertainment center idea is not a hack, it is a repurposed wardrobe!" However, you would be wrong because the load-bearing composite-board (the integral life force of all Ikea furniture) had to be drilled to make way for wires. These holes are very important as without them my little electronic boxes do not receive power or connectivity.
So, with my Dremel-esque (borrowed) tool, I took bit to flimsy composite and watched many, many particles of dust fly. My cuts were less than precise, how I measured shelves' distance by the screw hole (not to be confused with my drilled holes, these line the interior of the cabinet for shelf hanging purposes) for tight fit and maximum storage and up went my Ikea hacked Pax wardrobe-cum entertainment center."

10 comments:
i also hacked pax to be a media center, because i didn't find anything suitable, payable and closabe (!) for my old 37cm-TV and my very old (but still working) stereo.
my pax is lower, though (half the height), and it has lomen doors.
great, because if i don't use the TV i don't see the TV!
and a lot of holes make the backside look like a piece of emmental cheese, but make sure that it's not getting too warm in there.
a second pax attached to the first makes it a pretty sideboard with lots of media and other storage space.- AshleyOctober 24, 2008 2:07 AM
It looks like everything fits nice, but my gosh that is ugly.
ReplyDelete - AnonymousOctober 24, 2008 2:32 PM
There is no way that or any book case shelf is supposed to hold that much weight! This is a shelf meant for clothing and he put a TV on it. And, it is IKEA and uses tiny pegs for support in pine or fiberboard sides! He needs to review the weight limit for those shelves before his expensive TV crashes to the ground.
Yeah, and it is very ugly and hardly a hack because many people put holes in the back of their bookcases to run light wires through them and many come with notched particleboard for that purpose. - AnonymousOctober 25, 2008 10:22 AM
The shelf that the TV is on doesn't look like it will last 6 months without some serious bolstering in the center (perhaps even all the way down to the bottom). It's already sagging and it doesn't look safe for the TV.
ReplyDelete - AnonymousOctober 25, 2008 12:53 PM
Too overcrowded. Looking at this gives me a headache. The TV is crammed into the shelf. You have a great looking TV it needs a nicer home.
ReplyDelete - AnonymousOctober 26, 2008 10:31 AM
How do you account for the fact that you have no air circulation? That TV fills up the entire space, so the heat is not going to dissipate. Your TV is going to burn out in a year.
I had a similar issue. I had a 40" LCD, and I bought an Expedit TV storage unit. The TV just fits in there, but there was no air circulation. I could feel the storage unit heat up. So, I bought an extendable TV mount, and mounted it inside the Expedit. Now I can extend the TV 18 inches so it is outside of the storage unit when I watch TV, and I can then push it back into the unit when I am not watching. It looks very nice.

Rio Grande Adventures
***********Special Notice***********
Due to the closure of certain Middle Rio Grande Conservancy District properties along the middle Rio Grande, we are currently offering the following guided and self-guided options:
The Coronado (Abbreviated) (Algodones to Bernalillo) - Approximately 2 hours
The Bosque (Extended) (Bernalillo to Alameda) - Approximately 4 hours
The Expedition (Algodones to Alameda) - Approximately 6 hours
Rio Grande Adventures are currently offered six times daily, at 7:30 AM, 9:00 AM, 10:30 AM, 12:00 PM, 1:30 PM and 3:00 PM, Tuesdays through Sundays. Please see the Calendar Page for details, and feel free to call if you're looking for a tour on another day or time - we will always try to accommodate you.
"We loved the whole experience, from the professional instruction and service, to the fall colors along the bosque, to the wildlife (Great blue heron, Canadian geese, Sandhill cranes... and a curious coyote), to the open skies above. Truly, you made our day!"
Quiet Waters Paddling Adventures' guided and self-guided tours of the middle Rio Grande are truly an exceptional experience. Although we're located just ten minutes north of Albuquerque, the middle Rio Grande offers a genuine wilderness feel with little sense that you're adjacent to a major metro area (you'll rarely even hear traffic!).
Rio Grande Adventures involve anywhere from one to six hours of "river time".
Both guided and self-guided adventures are available.
All Rio Grande Adventures include your choice of boat, all required equipment, and the shuttle to and from the river.
Guided Adventures include an interpretive guide, fundamental instruction, bottled water and a picnic.
Guided Adventures are strongly recommended for novices.
Guided Adventures begin at $49.00 per person.
Self-Guided Adventures begin at $28.00 per person.
Self-Guided Adventure participants must budget their time within the parameters given below.
Children under twelve who float along with an adult go for half-price (applies to children floating along with two adults in a canoe or tandem kayak, or with one adult in a solo canoe or kayak).
For planning purposes, please allow approximately one hour both to and from the river for orientation, loading and unloading boats and equipment, and transportation time. (Allow 4 hours for a 2 hour tour, 5 hours for a 3 hour tour, etc.)
Affordable Family Fun!
"It is truly the best thing I've enjoyed with my kids in New Mexico . . . "
Paddling a canoe or kayak down a gentle river is a delightful and healthy activity that can be enjoyed for a lifetime. As a means to encourage parents to introduce their children to the joys of paddling, kids under 12 who float along with a parent (or parents) in the same boat go for half-price! Our tandem canoes can easily accommodate a child or two along with two adults, and our Daytripper kayaks are ideal boats for a single parent to float along with a small child. (Our recommended minimum age for kids is 3, although it is entirely up to the parent's discretion. We do have Type II PFD's on hand for toddlers that weigh less than 30 lbs.) Bring your family!
Please Note: Half-price rate for children under 12 applies to children floating along with two adults in a canoe or tandem kayak, or with one adult in a solo canoe or kayak.
Guided or Self-Guided - Which should I choose?
If you have limited experience (or none at all) in controlling a canoe or kayak on moving water, we strongly suggest that you begin with one of our guided tours. Although the middle Rio Grande is primarily Class I water, there are hazards present. Sweepers and strainers are common, as are occasional obstructions in the river. There are a few tricky bends and some small rapids to contend with as well. Varying water levels throughout the year create very different paddling environments, and floating with a guide who is familiar with the river can enhance your experience.
Those who do have some experience paddling on moving water will find little along the middle Rio Grande they haven't encountered before. As long as you know how to avoid sweepers and strainers, (and what to do if you can't avoid one), the difference between an upstream and downstream "V", know what an eddy is, and have a fundamental understanding of river dynamics and reading a river, you should be fine. On the other hand, if you're asking yourself what "sweepers", "strainers", "V''s, "eddy's", "river dynamics" and "reading a river" are . . . please start with a guided tour.
All tours include a short safety and instructional video before we leave our shop, and our guided tours incorporate an additional orientation prior to launch.
Tour Options
We are currently operating along approximately 18 miles of the middle Rio Grande, from the village of Algodones in the north, to the Alameda Bridge at the northern city limits of Albuquerque. Tour offerings will vary depending upon time of year, current flow levels and other factors, although we generally schedule tours from north to south throughout the day. Approximate tour length and estimated times can be found below. Our current schedule can be found at our Calendar Page.
All middle Rio Grande Adventures, guided and self-guided, include your choice of canoe or kayak, paddles, life vests, all required equipment and a shuttle in our air-conditioned van to and from the put-in and take out. Guided Adventures also include an interpretive guide (or guides), bottled water throughout the tour, and we provide a light picnic – typically an assortment of cheeses, meats and crackers, fresh fruits and/or vegetables, and cookies.
Guided Adventures
"Paddling down the Rio Grande River with Quiet Waters still remains my #1 adventure in the Albuquerque area! The staff was courteous, pleasant, and well informed about the flora, fauna, and history of the river . . . "
Quiet Waters Paddling Adventures' guided tours offer an opportunity to take in the tremendous scenery of the middle Rio Grande valley with the added benefit of a professional guide who is familiar with the nuances of this particular stretch of river, and we also provide a picnic along the way and bottled water throughout the tour.
Our guides are very helpful – they are accomplished paddlers familiar with this section of water, and will provide basic instruction on everything from paddle strokes to "reading" a river. They are also trained in rescue in case of a mishap, and are required to maintain certification in First Aid and CPR at a minimum.
Guided Adventures Include:
Your choice of canoe or kayak and paddle.
PFD (life vest) and all required safety equipment.
Shuttle to and from the river.
Interpretive guide.
Pre-launch orientation addressing the fundamentals of river dynamics and basic paddling instruction.
Bottled water throughout the tour.
A light picnic, typically including an assortment of meats, cheeses, crackers, fresh fruits and/or vegetables, and cookies.
Specialty Guided Adventures
We also offer several specialty tours at various times throughout the year. Our popular Sunset Float provides an opportunity to take in the Sandia Mountains bursting into their rich, watermelon colors in the light of the setting sun, while the Full Moon Floats deliver an incredible atmosphere along the river, with abundant beaver sightings common. Both of these tours are followed with a campfire, an assortment of snacks, and S'mores at Bernalillo's Coronado Campground.
Albuquerque's annual Balloon Fiesta provides a lucky few with an opportunity to "Float the Fiesta!", and take in the balloons as they soar over the river from the best seat in the house: relaxing in your canoe or kayak, far from the maddening crowds! Please see the dedicated Float the Fiesta! page for additional details and rates.
Guided Adventure Tour Options and Rates:
All rates are per-person, and assume four adult participants or more (in total) on a given tour. Children under twelve who float along with a parent or guardian in the same boat do so at half price, and count as one-half of an adult.

Notes on our Sliding Scale: Rates for guided tours are entirely dependent upon the total number of guided tour participants on a given tour. In cases where we do not schedule a minimum of 4 adults in total for a tour, our guests are contacted the day before, and given the option of continuing with the guided tour at the rates in the tables above, converting to an self-guided tour*, or canceling their reservation with no penalty.
Example: A party of 2 adults and two children (counts as 3 adults) makes a reservation for two kayaks for "The Coronado" tour ($69.00 per person with 4 adults or more, kids at half price). If we do not take any additional guided tour reservations for that tour, our guests are contacted the day before and given the option of continuing with the guided tour at a rate of $79.00 per person, converting to the self-guided "Coronado" tour at a rate of $44.00 per person, or canceling their reservation (with no penalty).
*The option to convert to a self-guided tour is not available for the Sunset or Full Moon Floats.

Self-Guided Adventures
"They provided top of the line equipment, drop off and pick up right on time. By far the best canoe rental option in the ABQ area! Highly recommended."
Those who have some experience in paddling on moving water will find the middle Rio Grande an incredibly scenic and serene float. Our Self-Guided Adventures provide everything you need for an enjoyable day on the water – you simply arrive at our shop, and we'll take it (and you) from there. We'll provide the boat, paddles, PFD's, all required equipment, and a shuttle in our air-conditioned van to and from your put-in and take-out.
Self-Guided Adventures explore the same sections of the Rio Grande as our Guided Adventures, and will involve anywhere from one to six hours of river time. Rates start at $28.00 per person for a tandem canoe, and $31.00 per person for a kayak or solo canoe. Just as with our guided adventures, kids 12 and under who float along with their parent(s) in a canoe or kayak go for half price!
Self-Guided Adventures Include:
Your choice of canoe or kayak and paddle.
PFD (life vest) and all required safety equipment.
Shuttle to and from the river.
Self-Guided Adventure Tour Options and Rates:
Rates are per-person, and a minimum of two adults are required to conduct a tour. Limit of one adult per kayak, or two adults per canoe. Children under twelve who float along with a parent or guardian in the same boat do so at half price (Applies to children floating along with one adult in a kayak or two adults in a canoe).
Time Management: Self -Guided guests need to budget their time on the river within the parameters shown under the "Tour Options" section above. Our listed tour times incorporate generous allowances for breaks along the way, and our van will be waiting at the take-out for your selected tour within the time frames indicated.
In most cases, a relaxed steady pace with no breaks will get you to the takeout 30 minutes to an hour before we arrive, but if you feel what we're allowing isn't sufficient and would like to allow more time for a given tour, please let us know at the time of your reservation. In cases where guests do not advise us beforehand and fail to arrive at the take-out at the scheduled time, there will not only be an extended wait for our van to return to the access point, but there will be an additional shuttle charge of $15.00 per person.
"The Coronado" (Abbreviated) - $31.00 per person for a tandem canoe, $34.00 per person for a kayak or solo canoe.
"The Coronado" - $41.00 per person for a tandem canoe, $44.00 per person for a kayak or solo canoe.

Tour Descriptions:
Algodones Launch Site Options:
"The Coronado" (Abbreviated) - Algodones to Bernalillo (Approximately 5 ½ miles – one and a half to two hours of "river time")
"The Coronado" - Algodones to Corrales (Approximately 9 ½ miles, three to three and a half hours)
"The Expedition" - Algodones to Alameda (Approximately 18 miles, five and a half to six and a half hours)
Bernalillo Launch Site Options:
"One Hour Along The Bosque" - Bernalillo to Corrales (Approximately 4 miles, one hour)
"The Bosque" (Extended) - Bernalillo to Alameda (Approximately 13 miles, three and a half to four hours)
North Corrales Launch Site Option:
"The Bosque" - Corrales to Alameda (Approximately 8 ½ miles – two and a half to three hours)
"The Coronado"
Covering a stretch of river that encompasses the area the Coronado campaign wintered in 1540, this adventure will put in among a beautiful stand of cottonwoods in Algodones, then traverse approximately 9 1/2 miles of remarkably secluded Rio Grande valley. The upper section of this trip features several interesting ancient volcanic formations and two small, Class I rapids. Once south of the Hwy 550 bridge in Bernalillo, the Rio begins to widen and slow, while the Bosque opens regularly to reveal spectacular views of the Sandia mountains.
Coronado Tour "Adventurers" can choose either the abbreviated two-hour float, stopping at Coronado campground in Bernalillo, or extending the tour to three hours by continuing on to just north of Corrales.
"The Bosque"
As the Rio Grande passes through Corrales, the river widens and slows considerably, braiding into multiple channels as it meanders through seemingly endless cottonwood Bosque. Although this tour is quite close to the sprawling development of greater Albuquerque, the participants will not see any of it, as the east bank is dominated by the Sandia Pueblo lands, while the west bank is entirely protected Bosque preserve.
Approaching Alameda, the Rio spills into numerous narrow channels, winding its way through several small islands, providing an almost tropical feel. Songbirds and waterfowl are plentiful in this section, and the views and sense of solitude are remarkable. This is a very mellow float trip with few sections of fast moving water.
Bosque Tour Adventurers may select either the four hour "Extended" tour, starting at Bernalillo, the three hour standard version, putting in just above Corrales, or the brief "One Hour along the Bosque" tour exploring the section of the Rio from Bernalillo to Corrales.
"The Expedition"
If you're looking for a full day on the river, "The Expedition" tour provides an opportunity to float the full 18-plus miles of the Rio Grande, experiencing the river changing character from the narrower, quicker channel to the north, to the braided, wetlands-flavored bosque immediately north of Albuquerque proper. The guided version of this tour includes stops for two picnic breaks along the way.

Booker is scheduled to be arraigned on charges that include attempted murder later this week.
Harden is being held on $5,000 bail.

Jourdain, chairman of the Red Lake tribal council, who is charged with owing $81,000 in back State Income taxes for the years 1979-1985, was held before Judge Earl B. Gustafson of the Minnesota tax court on May 17th in Duluth, Minnesota. Tribal attorney James F. Bodin represented Jourdain and Assistant State Attorney General Thomas O'Hearn represented the state of Minnesota. Both parties presented their argument on the factual issue of domicle before Judge Gustafson. Jourdain claims that he is not subject to Minnesota Income taxes because his domicle is still the Red Lake Reservation. Jourdain was forced to flee the reservation in May, 1979, under police protection, due to the reservation-wide uprising against his policies of corruption and mismanagement. Since 1979 Jourdain has resided at 2309 Calihan Ave., Bemidji, Minnesota, where he claimed and received homestead property credits in all but one year since that time. At the conclusion of the trial. Judge Gustafson took the matter under advisement and is sceduled to rule within 90 days. Notice of Coalition meeting The Coalition for Open and Responsible Governments on the Red Lake Reservation will hold their next meeting on Sunday, June 11 at 10:00 AM at the Home of Shirlynn Whitefeather in Alaska Tornship. All concerned Red Lake Tribal members are urged to attend. Action to be taken will include election of officers and adoption of a coalition platform. See you there.

Jury convicts Allery St. Paul (AP) - A federal jury has convicted a former area director of the Indian Health Service in Bemidji on a charge of defrauding the federal government of nearly $15,000 in false travel coucher claims. Alan Allery, who has resigned from IHS and now runs medical services for the Red Lake Chippewa Tribe, was found guilty of two counts of making false claims for temporary housing expenses when he was given a promotional transfer from Aberdeen, S.D., to Bemidji in November 1984. He was acquitted of a charge involving a third claim for which he said he submitted all the documentation that was available to him at the time. Allery's attorney, Steve Meshbesher, said he will appeal the verdict. "Allery is adamant in his innocence and has every intention of appealing what he perceives as a perverse verdict," Meshbesher said. Allery, 41, testified in the three-day trial before Senior U.S. District Judge Edward Devitt that he was entitled to all the reimbursements. He said charges against him were "precipitated" by four or five disgruntled office subordinates whose work he had criticized. "They wanted to create a political situation that (Washington, D.C.) headquarters would have to deal with, so they did that by calling congressmen, the inspector general, and things like that," Allery testified. "They were trying to put as much heat on me as possible." Assistant U.S. Attorney James Lackner said Allery, who was indicted in January, falsified a lease that allowed him to claim $1,500 a month in rent, when he actually paid $500 a month. He said other fraudulent food and lodging claims in connection with the transfer totaled $14,902. He also was found guilty of getting an extension on his temporary quarters reimbursements and claiming an additional'$3,000 for rent he did not pay. Lackner said Allery used the money to renovate a basement bathroom in the house which he eventually bought for $76,000. Allery denied having any intent to defraud the government. Take offensive to protect sovereignty Bloomington, Minn. (AP) - American Indian tribes must launch a legal offensive to avoid a threat to their sovereignty by expanding government powers such as taxation, representatives from 12 tribes around the country have been told. "If you don't document sovereignty and take jurisdiction, somebody else will," said Robert Pirtle of Pirtle, Morisset, Schlosser & Ayer of Seattle and Washington, D.C. "Use it or lose it it's that easy," he said Wednesday. The law firm is sponsoring a three-day workshop on tribes and taxation, ending Friday. The firm has argued eight tribal sovereignty cases before the U.S. Supreme Court and represents - among other tribes - the Red Lake Chippewa tribe near Bemidji. William Edmo, grants officer with the Shoshone-Bannock tribe of Idaho, attended the workshop to learn how to broaden tribal taxation powers. His tribe has established a taxing commission and soon will begin taxing sales of ore from its phosphorus mine - pre-empting the state, which now taxes the tribal ore. The money will be used for a school, roads and other services, offered to Indians and non-Indians on the reservation. Once those governmental services are in place, the tribe can tax property and income of residents, he said. Tax revenues are much needed for services and economic development, he said. "We want to do it in logical sequence - a planned approach," Edmo said. "We don't want to overtax, or ruin our business, or provide inadequate services. But we have to do it, exercise our tribal sovereignty." "If you're weak, the state and federal government will run over you," said Red Lake Chairman Roger Jourdain. Tribes have the power to tax income, property, sales, real estate and construction on reservations, Pirtle said. But they must wrest it from other taxing entities, which illegally assumed that power over tribes, he said. Founded in 1988 Volume 1 Issue 50 May30,1989~| 1 Copyright, the Ojibwe News, 1989 A Bi-Monthly Publication Bemidji, Minnesota 56601 Protestors were effective in closing down the White Earth RBC offices on Thursday, May 18 after a request for meeting with tribal authorities was denied. Dale Hanks (right) explains the federal order to Becker County Police that dictated the closing of the building. Federal Aeent Anthony Mercea of * U.S. Senate Select Committee on Tribal corruption ordered the closedown. (Photo by Mark Boswell) White Earth protestors call for federal investigation, Wadena's removal What started as a request for a public meeting with Tribal officials in White Earth ended with the closing of the tribal offices and what may be the beginning of a federal investigation into the alleged mishandling of federal funds by a U.S. Senate Select Committee on Tribal Corruption. The request for a public meeting was initiated by a large group of protesters who presented a petition to Tribal Chairman Darrell 'Chip* Wadena, Secretary Treasurer Jerry Rawley, and District Representatives Sharon Eid, Dan Stevens and Steve McArthur on Tuesday May 16th at the White Earth Reservation Business Committte Offices in White Earth. The petition requested a special meeting with the RBC on Thursday May 18, wherein complaints could be voiced by enrolled members of the reservation on a number ofissues. A public meeting with the enrolled members of the reservation has not been held since May of 1985. On that Thursday protestors gathered for the meeting at the RBC building, but were denied entrance to the building. After several hours of tense negotiations, the Becker County Sherrif s Department closed down the offices until an area FBI investigator could be dispatched to settle the dispute. Sherrif Clarence Paurus stated in the Detroit Lakes Tribune that an official of a U.S. Senate Select Committee on Indian Affairs, Anthony Marcea, ordered the shut down. The reasoning behind the closing of the office was, according to protestors, that if they couldn't enter a building they, as residents of the reservation own, no one could. The following Monday, employees were admitted to the building, effectively breaking the comprimise that federal authorities had established in order that the situation be properly handled. On Tuesday, May 23, FBI agent Joe Ryan appeared at the RBC offices in order to hear the complaints and allegations of the protestors. The meeting, held in the RBC gymnasium, lasted several hours and was the forum for what many believe to be the tip of the iceberg in corruption and misallocation of funds and services on the reservation. The areas of concern ranged from the misspending of funds, favoritism in everything from housing to jobs, nepotism within the RBC heirarchy, the embezzlement of bingo funds, and the bungling of the negotiation process in the 1985 Land Claims Settlement Act by Wadena. Ryan, who appeared deeply concerned over many of the issues raised, repeatedly .emphasized his jurisdiction in these issues. "All I'm capable of doing, " said Ryan," is dealing with the embezzlement of federal funds." Many protestors replied by asking, "Aren't these instances of embezzlment?" Although Ryan's visit was not the start of an official investigation by the FBI into the allegations presented, but it was a necessary first step in such a process. On Friday, May -26, District Representative Dan Stevens responded to the protestors and set a preliminary meeting for Friday June 2. This meeting, as dictated by the letter will only be open to three enrolled members of the protest group and will supposedly set up a dialogue between the administration and reservation members. Currently, a petition is circulating on the reservation urging eligible voters to voice their opposition to the alleged corruption by ousting Chairman Wadena. Along with the document is a letter, signed by Wadena, that was sent to three members of this year's powwow committee. Ted Hoaglund, John Boudreau, and Mark Hanson, all employees of the White Earth RBC, were fired because of their association with die protest. The petition, according to the tribal constitution, would have to carry 20 percent of the reservation's eligible voters to effectively oust the Chairman. An estimated 500 signatures are required. Contribution discrepancy Window Rock, Ariz. (AP) - A tribal judge says Navajo Chairman Peter MacDonald may have received more campaign contributions than allowed in the 1986 election and may have filed a false campaign report. ' If so, MacDonald could face removal from office, Judge Robert Yazzie said in a 50-page ruling Monday. The ceiling for contributions in the 1986 campaign was $84,192 for chairman and vice chairman, as determined by multiplying the number of registered voters by $1, Yazzie said, and MacDonald's expense report said the campaign received $69,430 and spent $75,191. However, an apparent discrepancy arises from testimony by John Paddock, an Arizona contractor who told U.S. Senate investigators he provided MacDonald more than $39,000 in airplane flights during the campaign, Yazzie said. Navajo prosecutors say MacDonald's campaign report does not reflect those flights. Yazzie also noted that tribal law forbids contributions by non-Navajos, and Paddock is not Navajo. Yazzie's ruling also concluded that the Tribal Council acted legally in placing MacDonald on administrative leave in February, following allegations before the U.S. Senate committee that the chairman received kickbacks from businessmen. Yazzie granted a permanent injunction against MacDonald exercising power. Meantime, interim Chairman Leonard Haskie opened the spring meeting of the Tribal Council and gave his first State of the Navajo Nation address on Tuesday. Haskie, the council's choice to succeed MacDonald, said now that the chairman is out, the tribe must move to shore up its financial situation. "The intent... of the council is that the government continue and that services not be interrupted, and I feel that has been fulfilled," Haskie said. He called Yazzie's ruling historic and said it removed all doubt about the legality of the council's action. Thomas Hynes, MacDonald's attorney, said it wasn't known if the chairman planned to appeal. The task now is to rebuild tribal unity and stem the flow of expenditures which caused him to declare a state of financial emergency May 5, Haskie said. The top priority of the tribe's Washington office is to develop a budget for the 1990 federal budget, he said. "With the help of the division directors, we have developed a list that includes many vital areas, and by this week, we will finalize the list and begin working with our friends in Congress to gain support," he added. Haskie, who met most of Monday with Hopi Chairman Ivan Sidney, said there were projects, requiring joint approval, which would benefit both peoples and could not wait until the tribes resolved the larger questions of land ownership. "Under the (1983-1987) administration of Peterson Zah, the Navajos and Hopis shook hands. Under MacDonald, we fought, and these projects were stalled behind empty rhetoric," Haskie said. His staff told reporters the session should last about two weeks. Outside the meeting, held in the tribe's Education Center because of work on a water main leading to the five-sided council building, about 20 demonstrators carried signs opposing Haskie. The council convened with a quorum of 48. Forty-nine delegates had banded together to oust MacDonald, and the Haskie faction is said to have picked up four members for a total of 53. Haskie spokesman Duane Beyal said the rest were expected to attend but had been delayed by other commitments. Among proposals on a 22-item agenda was one likely to draw opposition in^New Mexico - a request that Congress give Fort Wingate to the tribe as reservation land. The fort about 10 miles east of Gallup, N.M., is to be closed by 1995 under the military base closings measure recently approved by Congress. The city of Gallup and McKinley County have been working together toward proposing that the 2,200-acre base be turned into a redevelopment area. One concept under consideration is making a portion of it a detoxification center to help deal with rampant alcoholism among tribal members. New Mexico also has expressed interest in the possibility of making it into a National Guard training center. Also on the agenda was a request for $24 million from the federal government for the financially strapped Navajo Indian Irrigation Project.

Recently took a trip to Death Valley with my dad and brother. I posted a few pics in the completed adventure section, but I thought I would put a couple on my thread.
And here is a small water crossing

Very cool cruiser, what part of sd are you in? And what troop are you with? Are those pictures on ~ page 5 next to that army reserve/maintenance lot by Mesa college?
Semper, How is the Plastikote...I think that's what you used...holding up on your hood? I thought it looked great and am thinking of doing something similar. Any recent pics showing your hood? Would you still recommend using it? Have you found the finish to scratch easily? Thank you.

My LC Build and Family Adventure Thread Mauka2Makai - Our Quest Begins...An 80 Series Adventure
Ha, is it accessible from the 15 freeway? I may have "accidentally" stumbled onto Miramar from a little dirt road on the side of the freeway but not sure... My girlfriend lives right across the freeway in scripps ranch so I probably drive past you just about every day!! There are some sweet looking dirt roads up in the hills off pomerdado rd and Miramar rd, if only they were open to the public...
There are some cool little trails through scripps ranch and up in rancho peñasquitos, ever been up that way?
What area is your troop from?
Sorry about all the questions... It's exciting because I don't know anyone else in sd area who uses their 4x4!
It is holding up well, It is called plasti dip-easy to find at home depot. I need to go over it at least twice more for it to look great but so far so good. I would recommend doing a little more research before tackling the project though. I have heard reports of the coating not liking to come off once it has been baked on there. For me it isn't an issue because the paint is toast, but for you with that nice white, it would be sad to see the paint get ruined. Have you looked at the LC 3mm hood decals? That may be a better option.
I doubt you "stumbled" on to miramar lol, if that was the case you would have had some angry guys with rifles asking you some serious questions. Unless you just came to the edge of the base, it is right off the 15. I have seen some fun looking trails in the area you are talking about, mostly on my way out to Anza Borrego.
The scouts are part of a group with the LDS church. Our building is located up on black mountain road right off ted williams park way.
Haha ya that's why I didn't go too much further,
I'm not too familiar with the group up there. I got my eagle with a little troop out of La Jolla/UC area.
Do you have any idea how "used" that area off pomerdado is? Every now and then some humvees that say Lockheed Martin on them roll in and out of there but they leave that giant gate open? Ive heard of some people who ventured in there with mountain bikes along that road with no problems but have been scared to drive in there with my Jeep.

sinfo-Advanced Network Monitoring
Are you looking to set up some kind of network cluster, but dealing with many different computers, all of which are nearly impossible to keep track of? What if you're in charge of a room full of computers and also of those who are using them (some of whom may be looking to slack off or run something I'll politely dub "objectionable")? sinfo may be what you're looking for. According to its Freshmeat entry:
sinfo is a monitoring tool that uses a broadcast scheme to distribute information on the status of each computer on your local network. It supports CPU, memory usage, network load and information about the top five processes on each computer. sinfo uses ncurses to display the information in an attractive manner.
sinfo displays invaluable system information over multiple PCs for easy administration.
Further extending sinfo's use with the -s switch provides even meatier information.
A binary is available for those with Debian-based systems, such as Debian, Ubuntu and the like, and chances are that it's already sitting in your repository. Given that this software also includes a startup dæmon, sinfod, I thoroughly recommend taking the binary option if you can, because a great deal of the process is automated (it's also the version I cover here). Nevertheless, in the interests of distro neutrality, I also cover the source version during the installation, as usual.
As far as library requirements are concerned, you need the following, according to the documentation:
ncurses: libraries for terminal handling (tested with version 5.7).
boost: peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries using Boost.Bind and Boost.Signals (tested with version 1.42).
asio (>=1.1.0): asio is a cross-platform C++ library for network programming (tested with version 1.4.1).
If you're compiling from source, you need the pesky developer packages
as well (-dev). The number of packages under libboost- in particular
are quite extensive, so if you run into any problems during
, the
libboost libraries may be the culprit, requiring more of its packages
before you can install properly.
For those running with source, once you have the library requirements out of the way, grab the latest tarball and extract it. Open a terminal in the new folder and enter the following commands:
$ ./configure
$ make
If your distro uses sudo:
$ sudo make install
If your distro uses root:
$ su
# make install
Before I continue, I should explain that sinfo is broken into two parts: the everyday application and the background dæmon. As for installing the dæmon, I'm going to leave this part to you, because it seems that just about every distro has a different method of dealing with startup processes (and the Debian package takes care of all that). Check the readme files in the source tarball and the Web site for more information if you're still using the source.
sinfo is a "semi-GUI" command-line program that's actually pretty easy to use, although advanced users can make it do some pretty cool stuff via command-line switches. To run the program in its basic mode, simply enter:
$ sinfo
Assuming that you have sinfo installed only on your machine for now, the information being displayed will be just that of your machine. From this screen, you see all kinds of useful information, such as available memory, CPU utilization, hostnames and so on. The sinfo Keyboard Commands sidebar shows a list of the keyboard commands that drive sinfo, toggling parts of the program with a single keystroke.
However, in this state, it's really just a glorified version of
The whole point is that you can display information from several machines at
once to keep tabs on a LAN. If the other PCs on your network have sinfo
in their distro's repository, it should be as easy as installing
sinfo via apt-get and the like, then running the program on those
machines. As soon as I did that on a second machine,
both PCs were displaying under both installations. Keep installing it
on other networked PCs, and the list will grow larger and larger.
Those are the basics out of the way, but what about the extended features? Obviously, I don't have the space to cover everything here (and you really should check the man page for more details), but let's look at some of my favorite features.
At the command line, if you add the -W
switch (or
alternatively --wwwmode
like so:
$ sinfo -W
the output changes from the usual top
-like screen to HTML
output instead—very handy for those into things like remote
with automated Web pages and whatnot.
This is slightly redundant while in the sinfo user interface (simply press
the s key), but it's awesome when doing some kind of command-line scripting:
add the switch -s
(or alternatively
), and a big chunk of
serious system information is output as well. As an example, my two
machines had the following extra information:
192.168.1.2 knightro-bigdesktop i686
↪Linux 2.6.32-27-generic #49-Ubuntu SMP Wed De
cpus: 4 MHz: 800.0
RAM: 3276.5 MByte swap: 7629.4 Mbyte
load 1min: 0.0 load 5min: 0.1 load 15min: 0.1
192.168.1.1 nhoj-desktop x86_64
↪Linux 2.6.38-8-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 0
cpus: 2 MHz: 1000.0
RAM: 2007.6 MByte swap: 2047.3 Mbyte
load 1min: 0.1 load 5min: 0.2 load 15min: 0.1
uptime 0 days, 19:13:03
This kind of information suggests many potential uses, and keeping watch and troubleshooting at LAN parties springs instantly to mind. If any one node is having trouble, there's a good chance that the host will be able to hit the ground running when trying to isolate the problem.
In the end, sinfo is not only well designed, but if it's installed as binary, it's also convenient. Ultimately, I think this application will carve out an instant niche for itself, and hopefully, it will turn into one of those standard applications that are so commonplace, they just become part of the landscape. Maybe porting it would do exactly that.

Looks like a nice tool for keeping an eye on network resources, although I think the likes of Niagos / Icinga are more useful for larger enterprise use.
Something's missing
I use ubuntu and it's in the repositories. I installed it OK using apt-get, but there's no data. Running basic sinfo shows no data:
/ 0 nodes, 0 CPUs total CPU utilization: -nan% ( 0.000 GHz / 0.000 GHz )
Trying to pick up one of my other machines (that have sinfo installed) either defaults to the local machine with above result, or if I include a port I get:
receive error: Host not found (authoritative).
Anyway, it seems like a useful utility as I have 4 machines on my local network, but so far I'm not able to get it to work...
Thanks for the article. Works well on my server but on my netbook (wireless) the daemon exits silently. When I run it with -F I get:
[root@acer ~]# sinfod -n wlan0 -F

Exception: Address family not supported by protocol
And the client app never shows any display.
Didn't find anything about the exception with google.

Free Webinar: Hadoop
How to Build an Optimal Hadoop Cluster to Store and Maintain Unlimited Amounts of Data Using Microservers
Realizing the promise of Apache® Hadoop® requires the effective deployment of compute, memory, storage and networking to achieve optimal results. With its flexibility and multitude of options, it is easy to over or under provision the server infrastructure, resulting in poor performance and high TCO. Join us for an in depth, technical discussion with industry experts from leading Hadoop and server companies who will provide insights into the key considerations for designing and deploying an optimal Hadoop cluster.
Some of key questions to be discussed are:
- What is the "typical" Hadoop cluster and what should be installed on the different machine types?
- Why should you consider the typical workload patterns when making your hardware decisions?
- Are all microservers created equal for Hadoop deployments?
- How do I plan for expansion if I require more compute, memory, storage or networking?

The Community Planning Toolkit www.communityplanningtoolkit.org was developed by Community Places through the support of the BIG Lottery Fund to help the Community and Voluntray Sector in Northern Ireland to prepare for the planned introduction of Council led Community Planning in 2015.

The Warwick Junction Urban Renewal Project was organized in response to inefficient, unsafe, and unsanitary conditions that developed at a primary transport node located in the South African city of Durban. The impetus for the project stemmed from urban management and design issues that resulted from increased taxi and street trading activity.

Duke on 42nd
In Herzog's latest, politics (and generational confusion) take a smaller stage
The playwright's After the Revolution made a splash last year at Playwrights Horizons (I reviewed it here in November); and there, too, a grandparent and grandchild are tasked to find common ground when politics clash. But where After the Revolution served as a rather large interrogation of 90's politics, 4000 Miles, now playing at the Duke on 42nd, is a smaller play about a particular relationship. More

Hmmm.. I like your Harry Potter one! I have like, two or three right now, but I can always take on one more!
Okay, so I have really been craving for Roleplaying. The group ones I am in, are moving slow, which is a fine pace with me, but it doesn't carve that crave. Here are some of the things I'm interested in doing.
*Harry Potter:
Animagus x Witch
Wizard x Witch
Witch x Muggle
Wizard x Muggle
Tamer x Tamer
Tamer x regular person
*Sherlock(Movieverse or BBC Sherlock):
No pairings here, just good old fashion mystery with Holmes and Watson XD
*Legend of Korra-
Bender x Bender
Bender x Regular
Though I do like a bit of romance, I don't want the whole plots revolving around it well besides in Harry Potter XD though I would still like a plot in that one though. Neither will I write anything graphic or steamy. Just so you guys know. Applies to ones below too XP
*Gang x Victim
(With a bit of supernatural, no worries, no vampires :)
*Escaped Hybrid Experiment x human
( O.o I know, but I found those were really fun and funny to do XD)
*Can't think any right now X'D So if you have any suggestions or ones that you wanna do, just post XP
My Criteria:
*Literate- its fine to have a few spelling errors and such, as I do myself.
*Post 2-3 or more paragraphs, every 2-4 days. Don't worry, I can crank out a lot of paragraphs, but that depends on how much you give me to go off of as well. I know we all get writers block sometimes and a paragraph is fine now and then, but don't post just one every time, this is high casual to advanced after all. As for every 2-4 days, Sometimes I get impatient, or I get too lazy. So really this is a good range for me. I may pester you, but only like once in a while if I don't see a post. Mostly I would like to know whats going on as I know we all have busy lives. I will alert you as well if I am unable to post within those days in the future.
*Don't drop out without telling- please, please, please . I would like to know if you don't want to rp anymore so I'm not sitting there waiting and pestering you. I really would like to be able to go long-term and finish, but if you get bored, please tell me. I won't get offended.
* Don't mind a bit of sensuality (I don't care if there is romance or not, either way is fine with me) , swearing, or drinking, possibly bloody scenes and high violence- I know drinking, blood, swearing, sensuality in Digimon, legend of Koraa? Mind you, I'm planning on characters on being around 18 to 24. A bit strange, but I want this to be darker, and more mature than kiddish, it gives it more plot and freedom. Or that is my opinion anyways.
And, I think thats it. As far as Ideas go, I
I also rp with multiple people, so if others have said they would, then don't let that chase you away. It will always be open XD Oh and can't forget, you don't have to know all about the shows and such in order to rp with me. I don't mind helping along the way :)
So if anyone is interested, just PM me or post here.

"I don't wanna live a thousand years.
If I just live through today, that'll be enough."
Hmmm.. I like your Harry Potter one! I have like, two or three right now, but I can always take on one more!
"Let's finish this the way we started. Together."
"Dobby didn't intend to kill. Dobby just meant to maim... or seriously injure."
"Sorry professor, I must not tell lies."
"Where are you going, Mr. Baggins?" "I'm going on an ADVENTURE!"
"I look like my great aunt Tessie. *sniff* Smell like my great aunt Tessie."
"One ring to rule them all."
"We're not vermin, and we're not freak, and we're not pests. WE'RE BORROWERS!!!"
To anyone I roleplay with. I am definitely still around and alive. For whatever reason, I just cannot get over my writer's block, along with working two jobs. I hope to have something for you soon.
LOK! LOK! LOK! Legend of Korra. I would be interested in doing the Bender x Bender on that one.
Whoop! XD And Pm-ed you both :)
"I don't wanna live a thousand years.
If I just live through today, that'll be enough."
Hi, I'd like to do the Gang X Victim one with some supernatural.

Why The Video Looks Shaky (Don Ward)
Updated: 06/18/2013 - We did a quick helicopter tour of the Black Forest burn area. Someone asked why the video looks shaky.
Democrats take complete control of Colorado's legislature Wednesday when they gavel the 2013 lawmaking session to order.
Colorado will see its first openly gay House speaker in Democratic Rep. Mark Ferrandino. Democrats held on to control in the Senate. That means that after two years of divided government and limited agendas, the legislature is poised to see a flurry of legislation favored by Democrats -- including civil unions for same-sex couples, tuition changes for illegal immigrants and expanded Medicaid for low-income adults.
The 100 members of the new Legislature will spend most of the first day in ceremonial speeches and swearing-in ceremonies. The real work starts as committees start meeting to pore through bills and decide which measures to send to the governor to become law.

Bingham's Environmental, Land Use and Natural Resources Group is recognized as one of the premier practices in the United States. With more than 50 lawyers practicing full-time in this area, we have a knowledge base that dates back to the beginnings of environmental law in the United States and a breadth of experience across the body of environmental law, which enables us to provide our clients with the rare combination of deep knowledge and exceptional litigation experience. Named the 2011-2012 Law Firm of the Year in Environmental Law by US News and World Report and Best Lawyers, Bingham's Environmental, Land Use and Natural Resources practice group provides environmental litigation, compliance, counseling, permitting and transactional support to clients worldwide.
Our permitting experience is best exemplified by our recent work entitling thousands of megawatts of renewable energy, and in obtaining and defending public lands and natural resources permits for conventional energy projects throughout the United States. We have assisted developers in obtaining necessary entitlements from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Forest Service, National Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Land Management, California Energy Commission, local jurisdictions, and other federal and state agencies; resolving related transmission and interconnection issues; and negotiating power purchase agreements.
We handle litigation stemming from enforcement investigations, multimedia enforcement actions, bankruptcy cases with environmental law aspects, contract-related issues, environmental insurance and mass tort claims. We also handle criminal cases and related civil proceedings conducted by the EPA and investigations undertaken by various federal agency inspector generals' offices.
Our compliance and counseling practices leverage our decades of experience with the evolving body of environmental laws. We assist both U.S.-based and foreign-based companies with facility permits related to waste and water discharges and airborne emissions. We provide on-site assistance to help our clients both comply with information requests and defend their practices.
Our transactional team works with clients as deals are being structured to develop strategies and negotiate terms designed to minimize potential liability and reduce long-term environ-mental and related legal costs. We work with renewable energy developers; oil and natural gas companies; industrial, chemical and consumer manufacturers; buyers and sellers; trade associations; investors; potentially responsible party (PRP) groups; and municipalities. We help our clients obtain and defend state and federal permits for vital infrastructure projects.
Bingham's environmental and natural resources lawyers are at the cutting-edge of issues in environmental, land use and natural resources law. Our practice spans a broad range of areas, including:
Through our work we have developed significant experience in a variety of industries — an asset that helps us deliver value-added service on every engagement.

Going, Going, Gone
Posted: February 12th, 2013 | Author: artintolife | Filed under: fashion, stuff to buy | Tags: designer collaborations, designers, fast fashion, shopping, Spring 2013, target, trendsI restrained myself from talking about the already over-hyped Prabal Gurung x Target collection leading up to its release. But, reality, I am as much of a sheep as the next girl. And just because I didn't talk about it doesn't mean I didn't think about it, plan for it and shop it. As much as I love Gurung's designs, and both Kate Middleton and Michelle Obama seem to be fans, I didn't anticipate the reception the collaboration received when it launched on Sunday. The fab-collab-that-more-or-less-sells-out-on-day-one, with the best pieces selling out by mid-morning, is back. Did you get any? If not, there are a few choice items left.
Customer reviews suggest most items are quite cute, but beware of fit issues. By and large the collection runs small. So try it on in stores or order a couple of sizes. The shoes, however, in addition to being surprisingly comfortable, run about 1/2 size large.
Overall, I agree with the general assumptions that are being bandied about to explain this recent success. Pronouncements that the public had grown tired of designer collaborations, largely because they had become commonplace, seem to have been premature. The buying public still appreciates access to great design. That doesn't go away just because there's more of it. I think, for one thing, with their vibrant colors and flowers galore, Gurung's designs for Target are more accessible than Maison Martin Margiela for H&M was. Most importantly, however, the prices were accessible — true Target prices. Each dress sold for $30-$40. The Target x Neiman Marcus holiday collection seemed to have forgotten how vital the "bargain" is for widespread panicked success. We can only hope that fast fashion retailers got the message loud and clear. But I do think a fair amount of credit has to go to Prabal Gurung who designed a beautiful collection that was both easy to wear and appealed to a wide range of shoppers.
For all of the collection's success, mumblings around the industry suggest that Prabal Gurung should feel a little bad that he did not manage to crash the Target website the way that the Missoni x Target collection did. I would like to think that is due impart to Target having learning how to better manage the volume (for one thing, not releasing the precise time the collection would launch online). It is worth noting, however, that Missoni has a distinct and universally recognizable look. Every time I wear my Missoni x Target coat, people recognize it as being Missoni, whether or not they know about the collaboration. That has a caché that a young designer can't possibly match. And that most designers, who have an aesthetic that may be a little harder to nail down, can't match either. While many women may recognize that exquisite Prabal Gurung dress that Kate Middleton wore, I venture that few would be able to recognize another Prabal Gurung piece which they have never seen before. With that in mind, if crashing websites is the goal in this business, I would propose a Target x Pucci collaboration.
