Hi all
This weekend I had a second "tire explosion" while 15 miles from home. My Roubaixs original tires lasted 2000 miles and then the rear went out on me. In the last 6 months or so I have replaced the rear tire TWICE with similar Specialized Roubaix tires. Both have failed and at $60 a pop it aint funny anymore.However, could the problem be that I am over-inflating? The tires are rated to 8 BAR and I always pump approx 7.7 BAR into the tires before a ride. Now, I am in the 280lbs so I am wondering if the weight and the close to max pressure are the issue. Could it be that when I hit a pothole or similar that the tire pressure is increasing beyond the limit of 8 BAR and weakening the tire?
It was a little humorous I guess. Early Sunday morning, and as I rode past the church in Carnation, WA, BBBBAAAANNNNNNNGGGG - It literally sounded like a gunshot going off. Birds flew out of the trees, church-goeers were startled and the Clyde in his lycra was sheepishly apologising and pointing at the tire. My wife was thrilled that she had to get out of bed and come get me on a Sunday morning
Any thoughts on tire pressures for us bigger guys?
P.S. Enough of the $60 tires. Just bought a pair of Nashbar Road 2 tires for $15 a piece. Good reviews too.

Casa Bambora is a complex of fully equipped Studio Apartments located on a quiet hilltop just above the canopy in Tamarindo, where you can enjoy spectacular unobstructed views of Tamarindo Bay, Playa Grande, Playa Langosta and the beautiful San Francisco Estuary in the Las Baulas National Park.
Casa Bambora is conveniently located in a quiet safe neighborhood just 10 minutes walk from world famous Tamarindo beach and only 5 minutes walk from the main strip in town where you can find a wide variety of stores, dining options and much more. Another great thing about Casa Bambora is that it is located just far enough off the main strip in town that you can enjoy the sounds of nature and get a peaceful night sleep without being woken by the Tamarindo nightlife, yet close enough to come and go as you please and enjoy what Tamarindo has to offer.
A studio can accommodate up to three people and has all the comforts of home, including AC, fully equipped kitchen, full bathroom with hot water, 32" HD TV with cable, complimentary high speed wireless internet, iPod dock, king size bed, futon couch/bed and private balconies with great ocean views.
On the fourth floor is a furnished observation with panoramic views of the forest, town and the ocean, great for coffee in the morning or a cold drink while enjoying the sunset and checking out the surf and the wide variety of exotic birds, or just laying back and watching the stars at night.
Casa Bambora is also equipped with a spacious swimming pool and waterfall surrounded by a tropical garden with plenty of hammocks and chairs available to lounge around in. Next to the swimming pool is Casa Bambora's bar and community kitchen/BBQ area, this is where the guests enjoy spending the majority of their time socializing over a cold drink and grilling up the catch of the day.
Tamarindo is a great town with excellent restaurants, shopping, and beaches. The town has world class fishing, surfing, and snorkeling and there is a wide variety of wildlife including monkeys, iguanas and so much more.
There are also laundry facilities available on the property as well as onsite parking for all guests.

Very good
"Friendly atmosphere, Personal Experience and Exceptional Value"
As the title suggests our one week stay in February of 2012 was a great one. We split our stay in both the 1B Studio and 3rd floor studio.
Joey is very friendly and goes out of his way to make his guests feel at home and comfortable.
The property itself is really nice, and the highlight is the custom pool with waterfall, equipped with hammocks and seats surrounding the property.
Free laundry is a plus, also the cabinets are fully stocked with all the utensils and basic ingredients you need to do your own cooking.
Sheets and towels were always clean. Washrooms were clean, we enjoyed the third floor suite a lot better though than the 1B Suite comparatively.
We got to meet and know a bit better some of the other people staying, and everyone is very friendly.
Joey's dogs are adorable are another aspect of what makes Casa Bambora unique too.
Lastly, Joey's knowledge of Tamarindo and Costa Rica as a whole is a valuable asset to your trip experience. He took us to Nogui's for fish tacos the first night, and let us know of some other great places for food/drinks/places to see and do.
To give you a comprehensive review some of the downsides we have noticed are:
1) the water level pressure on the 1B suite shower was not very even make it difficult to shower(comparatively, the 3rd floor suite washroom is excellent).
2) the location of Casa Bambora is up a narrow unpaved back alley hill that is unlit at night (so make sure to bring a flashlight). It's an inconvenience, especially in the evening.
Other than that, the whole stay as very enjoyable and I would highly recommend anyone who wants a worry-free place to stay and enjoy Costa Rica, at a very reasonable price.
Despite the two points above, for the price I paid and the personable experience received, I rate it 5 stars. Pura Vida!

"Great room, great view, nice host, nice dogs!"
We stayed 11 days at Casa Bambora and we loved it.
The honeymoon suite is the best, great view from everywere
in the room or on the 3 sides private balcony.
Amazing sunset from our room and we could share the experience with others at the roof top balcony.
It was great to be outsite the busy downtown Tamarindo,
but still close enough.
Joey always made sure everything was O.K. and it was.
We made friens, it's easy to share time and experiences with others at the outside bar. The outside kitchen was great to share cooking and meals when we felt for it, but we had everything we needed in the privacy of our room too.
Great money value.

"Great Place - Really great view!"
Joey has created Casa Bambora to be a wonderfully comfortable retreat with a truly great view of the Pacific Ocean and surrounding mountains.
The rooms are clean, comfortable and spacious. Each room has its own kitchen, both and sitting area along with a wonderful view even ours which was on the main floor.
The common bar and kitchen area is well designed and a great space for the evening cigar or company.
Joey built a great waterfall that you can lounge in and or jump off of. The pool is spacious and very inviting.
We will definitely recommend Casa Bambora and we will be back!!

"My beach get-a-way"
My stay at Casa B. was wonderful. It was quiet, relaxed, with everything at my fingertips. Joey was an excellent host. He was there when I needed something (even a little chat) and not there when I wanted quiet. The room was perfectly comfortable and the views from the room and the roof were great, especially the sunsets and the dramatic thunder storms.

"Home away from Home!!!"
Thank you Joey for the fabulous accommodations. You have yourself a hidden gem. The studio was perfect. So comfortable and everything you needed was provided. This was our first trip to Tamarindo and we stayed at Casa Bambora for 2 weeks. We were so sad to leave. By far this was the best place to stay in Tamarindo. Close to town yet up the hill enough that you can't hear anybody. The view was absolutely breath taking. We arrived late at night so couldn't see anything. When we awoke the first morning it was such an amazing surprise. I can't think of a better way to wake up each day than to hear the birds singing, monkey's howling, and to see the waves rolling in. We absolutely loved the huge balcony to sit and have morning coffee, the pool to chill at after a long day at the beach, and the kitchen area by the pool to grill dinner at night. Your puppies were the cutest ever. They are so well behaved. Chico...(the cat) what a character. It was so cute to have knock at our door wanting in and to stay with us. Joey you were such a gracious host giving us ideas of where to eat and things to see. We can't thank you enough. Casa Bambora made this the best vacation ever. We hope to see you again very soon and this time with all our friends.

"Great property, location and views"
Joey has his place in tip/top shape. The patio on top of the building is unique and the views are ones to remember for a lifetime. You probably won't find a better deal in Tamarindo based on the room, quietness, lack of road dust like other low budget rooms and coolness of the owner, Joey. We stayed for a week and there were no issues and we would gladly stay there again. Way to go Joey!

"Amazing place, amazing price"
I stayed at Casa Bambora from late October to early November and I have to say that I was so happy that I chose to stay there. I went to Tamarindo for vacation and planned on surfing every day. However, I found myself hardly wanting to leave Casa Bambora because it was such a great place to just relax. The price for a room is an absolutely unbeatable deal. I was amazed at how nice, clean, and well designed/decorated the rooms and bathrooms were. Joey, the owner, takes care of any needs that you might have and his dogs are reliable companions if you're ever looking for one. The proximity to town is perfect, not too close to be loud but at the same time not too far. Also, it seems that no matter where you are, there is always a view of the ocean, especially the top floor (gorgeous). Very romantic and/or chill place, I cannot recommend Casa Bambora strongly enough. I am definitely looking forward to my next stay there.

"the best!!!"
hola joe!!!
what can i say about casa bambora that hasnt already been said?? first off i would like to thank Joe for being such a great host and for having a fantastic cabina.
my husband and i were in tamarindo in april and loved it so much we decided to extend our stay there for an additional week. luck was on our side and casa bambora had a room available. the price was absolutely right and the room was perfect w everything you could possibly need. we were on the second floor and the room had 2 balconies (one looking towards the ocean-(were i had breakfast most mornings and the other over the pool area), a comfy bed, hot shower & a/c. the room was clean and we felt safe leaving our belongings there.
my favourite part of casa bambora was definately the pool area. we must have spent countless hours in it relaxing, cooling down and shooting hoops-or at least trying to. the pool and grounds were maintained perfectly and the water temp & quality was great. unfortunately, we only discovered the 2 seats up top of the waterfall on our last day there so we never got to enjoy it as much as we would have liked. the pool area also had a bbq and bar area that we did take advantage of. another favourite was the upstairs 360 degree balcony. the view up there of the ocean and the surrounding area of tamarindo is so amazing it is hard to put into words. perfect for sunrises, sunsets & star gazing. it definately doesnt get any better than this.
we also enjoyed spending time w kobe and torro. 2 very friendly and wonderful dogs. pinto didnt come out too often but when he did it was great to see him.
overall, we enjoyed everything about casa bambora and would highly recommend staying there. everything about it was great!!!
thanks again joe and everyone at casa bambora. we are looking forward to next april!!!

"Perfect location and accomodations"
We stayed at Casa Bambora in early July, and all I can say is wow! Joey and his father live there too (with 3 awesome dogs!) and could not have been more friendly and accommodating. The rooms are excellent, great a/C for those hot Costa Rican days and nights, and have a full kitchen.
The roof deck has arguably the best view in Tamarindo too. Another perk is the pool which is so refreshing after a long day fishing or at the beach, along with a convenient outdoor kitchen so you don't have to go upstairs for another Imperial ;).
Joey also knows the area very well and is a great resource for tours, restaurants, and surfing knowledge. It is a 10 minute walk to the beach and into town, and the trail can get muddy so careful trekking down at night.
Casa Bambora was excellent and we will definitely be staying here next time. Pura Vida!

"Great Stay At Casa Bambora!!!"
We stayed at Casa Bambora for two weeks and had a wonderful time. The property is very well kept with lush tropical plants and pool with waterfall. Each unit has it's own kitchen if you prefer not to eat all of your meals out. We enjoyed using the barbecue by the pool at night, very relaxing.
Casa Bambora was far quiter then some of the places we have stayed in town and had phenomenal views from our balcony and the observation deck!
The walk to stores and restaurants was only 10 minutes. The pricing can't be beat; rooms are well equipped , clean and air conditioned. Joey the host will help connect you to tours, fishing and great places to eat. We will definetely be back.

"Casa Bambora was great!!!"
Casa Bambora was a really good place for me to stay while in Costa Rica.
Really cost effective if you are the type that likes to cook. There are plenty of
good restaurants close by if you do not.
It's about a 10 min walk to the beach from the room, but well worth it. It was
hot for most of the days of my stay, but a quick dip in the pool always felt
great. The AC in the room made for a comfortable sleep. The view is
awesome, from the roof you can get a view of the beach and surrounding
terrain. It is a very peaceful location, often times i found myself just lounging
around and just hanging out there.
Joey is a great host, he can tell you where to go for good surf, renting
surfboards, food, and tours. He was very helpful. I would not hesitate to stay
at Casa Bambora in the future.

"Best View in Tamarindo"
Stayed at Casa Bambora many times. We love the view, the host and much,
much more. The rooms are just right and have everything you would
need. If it
doesn't, you can just ask Joey and more than likely he can
help. The pool and
grounds are beautiful. If your looking for monkeys,
many mornings you can
just look outside your window. Great stay

This place in amazing. The room had a small kitchen, nice bathroom, big bed, and was super clean. It is quietly nestled on top of a hill and has AMAZING views of the forest and ocean. It is just a short walk from the beach. Joe is a super nice guy and very accommodating. I highly recommend this place to anyone traveling to Costa Rica. Thanks Joey!

"A relaxing and private place with million dollar views!"
The views from Casa Bambora are awesome. The rooms are clean, private,
and have plenty of windows that let the light and ocean breezes come
through.The balcony wraps around the entire room and the roof top view
is easily accessible. The room I stayed in had a kitchen which was a
nice addition. The bathroom is big and has a huge open shower with hot
water. The town and beach is a short walk away. The owner Joe has plenty
of advice on where to go and what to do while staying in Tamarindo. Joe
is always available to accommodate any needs and provides a welcoming
atmosphere. The property also has a good size pool and a large BBQ area.
The whole property flows well and is a safe comfortable environment. My
favorite part is the price. I have visited Costa Rica twice now and had
yet to pay such a fair price for such a quality place! I look forward to
future vacations here and feel lucky to have found such a great place to
return to.
We have stayed at Casa Bambora several times in the past 8 years. The view from the top is beautiful and you also have a beautiful view from the room. The apartments are fully equipped for cooking and you can buy groceries in town and cook your own meals in the apartment or on the grill at the barbecue by the pool while watching sports on the TV that hangs over the bar. Staying here certainly beats spending 100+ for an expensive hotel room in one of the hotels in town. It's only a 10 minute walk to town and it is quiet and peaceful away from the sounds of the town. There is a nice pool and the owner, Joey, is very helpful in giving information on where to go and what to see. He also speaks English and Spanish. We have recommended Casa Bambora to friends and relatives who have also stayed there and been very pleased.

"Casa Bambora is Tamarindo's Hidden Secret!!"
Casa Bambora is one of the best hidden secrets in Tamarindo. It has the best 360 degree panoramic view for miles. Not only do all of the rooms have wrap around balconies with spectacular views of Langosta, Tamarindo, and Grande including not only the beautiful Pacific Ocean, but the mountains as well, the rooftop balcony has the best view in all of Tamarindo. Casa Bambora has a wondeful pool with great waterfall, that you can sit in, barbeque area, a great outdoor bar space, free onsite parking, a unique outdoor shower and great greenry and gardens. Casa Bambora is located in a great location just far enough from the noise of the nightlife of Tamarindo but also just a short walk from world class restaurants, great nightlife, and the beach. The sunsets are stunning in Tamarindo and some of the best I have see in the world and the sunsets from the roof of Casa Bambora are absoultly beautiful. Joey the owner is a great help with recommendations and discounts within Tamarindo and the surrounding area. He is always helpful and is very nice. The free wifi, kitchens in every room, and rate are unbeatable anywhere in Tamarindo. All rooms have a full studio and great privacy. I have stayed at many properties in Tamarindo and Costa Rica and this is the first place I felt like I could call home. I will definitly be back again very soon!

The end result of the four day adventure was SGang Gwaay, an abandoned Haida village from the 19th century and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Of the 180 UNESCO sites I have visited, SGang Gwaay was easily one of the top three in terms of most difficult to visit. I'd put it on a par with Preah Vihear and East Rennell.

I think we should split this message board into two separate boards. One where people can dispense their unbridled optimism (ie. Denard and Tate are both fast!) and another where the other folks can sulk in world of pessimistic realism (ie. State actually has a better basketball program and probably will for some time). If you fall somewhere between these two poles you can decide based on your mood (or height of ego) at any given time whether you need a boost of unrealistic hope or if you need to be knocked down a couple pegs. I know this would help me out. Thoughts?

Cover buttons with printed Christmas fabrics, embroidered holiday designs and more to create lovely handmade ornaments. You can paint fabric covered buttons or add beads for other embellishment ideas. Use these ornaments to decorate the tree or give as gifts to family and friends. You'll love how simple and easy these Fabric Button Christmas Ornaments are to make.
- 6" Square fabric, woven or knit
- 5" Square lightweight non-woven fusible interfacing
- Dritz Cover Buttons - Size 100 (2½"), size 75 (1 7/8"), or size 60 (1½")
- 8" Piece of ruffled trim
- Felt, small piece to cover back of button
- 6" Piece of soutache braid for hanger
- Hot glue gun
- Fabric marking pen or dressmaker pencil
- Scissors
- Tissue paper
Using pliers, remove wire shank from back of button cover by pinching shank together and pulling it out.
Fuse interfacing to wrong side of fabric. Interfacing is needed to reinforce lightweight, knit and slippery fabrics and to stabilize fabrics that will be embellished with decorative machine stitching. It also helps to prevent shadow-through of button shell.
Cut out button pattern from back of package or trace off shape on tissue paper, making a full circle. Place pattern on right side of fabric and center over design. Cut out fabric circle.
Center fabric over button cover. Working from side to side and top to bottom, hook fabric onto teeth. Then continue working around button, hooking fabric onto teeth and stretching fabric for a tight smooth fit (Figure 3). Tip: Use a pencil eraser to help catch fabric on teeth.
Mark top of button on back side. Fold soutache braid in half and hook ends of braid into teeth at top of button (Figure 4). Or, if desired, glue ends of braid to backplate after it's attached to the button.
Trace shape of backplate on felt; cut out. Set aside.
Snap backplate to button with imprint facing you. If backplate is difficult to snap on, use end of thread spool to snap backplate in place (Figure 5).
Hot glue ruffled trim to back of button. Start at top and work around edge of button (Figure 6). Overlap ends of ruffle.

in response to RobertJ Solved
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
1. Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
2. Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
3. Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
4. Open iTunes.
5. Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.
If when you choose restore you get a message that the device cannot be found, download the file below
Apple TV Software Restore 5.1.1 (2nd generation)
Then hold down the option key while choosing restore and select the downloaded file when prompted.
RobertJ Dec 19, 2012 12:53 PM
in response to Winston Churchill
I found that by Googling but thanks. What I didn't find was the direct file download instructions. After upgrading iTunes to 11.0.1 [30 minutes] to get rid of "device cannot be found", I'm now upgrading via iTunes. Looks like a 2+ hour process; next time I'll try the direct download method. On second thought I think I'll stick with 5.1.1 unless Apple adds something worth the hassle like the ability to stream movies from Amazon since I'm a Prime member.
RobertJ Dec 19, 2012 12:56 PM
in response to RobertJ
Luckly my wife's Kindle has a USB to Micro USB cable.
Winston Churchill Dec 19, 2012 12:58 PM
in response to RobertJ
So far as I am aware 5.1.1 is the latest software for the Apple TV.
RobertJ Dec 19, 2012 1:07 PM
in response to Winston Churchill
So far as I am aware 5.1.1 is the latest software for the Apple TV.
I know; however, the updating of firmware on ATV is much less reliable than updating SW on a Mac.
So unless any future ATV firmware offers some new feature of value to me I will skip it. In the meantime I have 72 minutes to go before the iTunes update of my firmware to 5.1.1. Then of course I need to set it up on my network again using the remote and re-login to Netflix again using the remote. A real pain that shouldn't take more than another 10 - 20 minutes.
This entire update to 5.1.1 will end up taking almost four hours and I have a 15M connection to the Internet.
RobertJ Dec 20, 2012 8:25 AM
in response to RobertJ
Winston Churchill provide what would appear to be a solution; however, it didn't work. Not his fault.
After waiting over 2 1/2 hours for iTunes to down load the firmware it would not update my ATV. I got this message:
The Apple TV "Apple TV" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (3014).
I then went to softpedia and downloaded it "manually" in 7 minutes, not 2 1/2 hours. Using Winston's instructions about the option key tried again. Again I got the 3014 error.
After looking into the meaning of the error the suggestion was that my system was blocking iTunes from contacting gs.apple.com; however, in looking at my network logs that was not true.
Reluctant to throw my ATV in the trash I made a desperate move. My wife still had iTunes 10.7 on her computer. I removed iTunes 11.0.1 from my computer and installed iTunes 10.7.
I then followed Winston's option key instruction to access the file AppleTV2,1_5.1.1_10A831_Restore.ipsw sitting on my desktop using iTunes 10.7. The restore worked perfectly and my ATV is now sitting on my network and working perfectly with 5.1.1 .
So while it appears that iTunes 11 is wonderful and the bugs they fixed in iTunes 11.0.1 allow you to actually start the restore process for ATV, they didn't get all the bugs.
I'll be using iTunes 10.7 and watch for iTunes 11.0.2. Under no circumstance will I get rid of iTunes 10.7.

I'm not really sure which file you tried to download (That site only offers one file and doesn't say what it is, but judging by the file size it seems more likely to be the wrong one), but were you sure it was for the Apple TV 2, the link I provided is.
Personally I'd avoid downloading anything from that site and stick with the genuine Apple downloads I linked to.
RobertJ Dec 20, 2012 8:37 AM
in response to Winston Churchill
Absolutely sure AND, it did work properly when I used iTunes 10.7.
The file is AppleTV2,1_5.1.1_10A831_Restore.ipsw
I just downloaded it from a source I'm familiar with and trust.

Article: High-field magnetization and electron spin resonance in the spin-gap system η-Na_ {1.286} V_ {2} O_ {5}[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In this work, we report results of high-field magnetization and electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements performed on η-Na1.286V2O5, a compound that shows a spin gap. This system may be regarded as an assembly of weakly interacting magnetic entities, each of which containing, at low temperature, 18 antiferromagnetically (AF)-coupled S=1/2 spins. The purpose of this work is to determine the gap value and to probe the low-lying energy levels in this compound. On the one hand, the high-field magnetization measurements, performed at temperatures down to 1.7 K on powder samples, suggest a spin gap, Δ, of approximately 39 K, a value which is quite close to the earlier estimate of 35 K, which some of us deduced from the susceptibility measurements at low field [ Duc et al. Phys. Rev. B 69 094102 (2004)]. On the other hand, these measurements show a magnetization step at one ninth of the saturation magnetization, giving strong support to the assumption that this system may be regarded as a finite-size system composed of 18 AF-coupled S=1/2 spins. A theoretical fit of the magnetization indicates the necessity to include couplings to second or more distant neighbors. The ESR data at various frequencies (from 9.6–980 GHz) and at temperatures ranging from 4.2–150 K, obtained on powder samples as well as on single crystals, are in accordance with the gap value mentioned above. In addition, these ESR data indicate that the closure of the gap is not accompanied by any detectable mixing between the singlet level and the lowest-lying level of the first excited triplet. This implies the absence of any appreciable Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction in this compound.

ABSTRACT: High coercivity and magnetic viscosity in nanocrystalline YCo 5 alloy were observed. The alloy was obtained by arc-melting the raw materials, mechanical milling for 4 h with subsequent heat treatment for short times at 1103 K and a final quenching in water. The x-ray diffraction pattern showed a single hexagonal 1:5 phase. The average crystallite size determined by transmission electron microscopy was 13 nm. Magnetic measurements were carried out at 85 K in a pulsed field magnetometer varying the field in the range 50– 250 kOe and keeping the pulse duration equal to 0.3 s. A maximum coercivity of 50 kOe was measured when applying a maximum magnetic field of 250 kOe. The viscosity parameter was measured varying the dH /dt rate in the range 511– 1113 kOe/ s. The calculated activation volumes from viscosity data were smaller than the crystallite volume from transmission electron microscopy, consistent with their different physical meanings. © 2006 American Institute of Physics.

ABSTRACT: The electronic conductivity study of the quasi-one-dimensional Ca3Co2O6 single crystal evidences a Variable Range Hopping conductivity with temperature-induced crossover between 1D and 3D transport and the opening of a Coulomb gap in the d bands along with the ferromagnetic intra-chain ordering. A large negative magneto-resistance is observed at low temperatures. Both spin-dependent hopping and field-induced suppression of the Coulomb gap are discussed. The electronic hopping parameters we infer agree remarkably with the accessible Co sites. Finally, we present the first electronic noise study in a one-dimensional frustrated magnetic single crystal and we discuss the interplay between the low temperature 3D magnetic ordering and the spin-dependent hopping conductivity on the Co sites.

ABSTRACT: Low-dimensional transition metal oxides provide excellent model systems to study magnetic properties induced by the interplay between low-dimensionality character and frustration. In this work, we study polycrystalline Sr3NiIrO6 and Ca3CoIrO6 compounds which exhibit at low temperatures a frozen state with notable dynamic effects that can be attributed to the low-dimensionality character. These dynamic effects are probed by AC susceptibility measurements.

ABSTRACT: We report an electron spin resonance (ESR) study of the s=1/2-Heisenberg pseudo-ladder magnet CaCu2O3 in pulsed magnetic fields up to 40 T. At sub-Terahertz frequencies we observe an ESR signal originating from a small amount of uncompensated spins residing presumably at the imperfections of the strongly antiferromagnetically correlated host spin lattice. The data give evidence that these few percent of ''extra'' spin states are coupled strongly to the bulk spins and are involved in the antiferromagnetic ordering at T_N = 25 K. By mapping the frequency/resonance field diagram we have determined a small gap for magnetic excitations below T_N of the order of 0.3 - 0.8 meV. Such a small value of the gap explains the occurrence of the spin-flop transition in CaCu2O 3 at weak magnetic fields H_{sf} ~ 3 T. Qualitative changes of the ESR response with increasing the field strength give indications that strong magnetic fields reduce the antiferromagnetic correlations and may even suppress the long-range magnetic order in CaCu2O3. ESR data support scenarios with a significant role of the ''extra'' spin states for the properties of low-dimensional quantum magnets.

Article: High-field magnetization study of the S=1/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain [PM Cu(NO3)2(H2O)2]n with a field-induced gap[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We present a high-field magnetization study of the S=1/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain [PM Cu(NO$_3$)$_2$(H$_2$O)$_2$]$_n$. For this material, as result of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction and a staggered $g$ tensor, the ground state is characterized by an anisotropic field-induced spin excitation gap and a staggered magnetization. Our data reveal the qualitatively different behavior in the directions of maximum and zero spin excitation gap. The data are analyzed via exact diagonalization of a linear spin chain with up to 20 sites and on basis of the Bethe ansatz equations, respectively. For both directions we find very good agreement between experimental data and theoretical calculations. We extract the magnetic coupling strength $J/k_B$ along the chain direction to 36.3(5) K and determine the field dependence of the staggered magnetization component $m_s$.

ABSTRACT: The magnetic properties of a polycrystalline Sr3NiIrO6 sample have been investigated by means of susceptibility and magnetization measurements. On the one hand, it is found that this compound, made of magnetic chains on a triangular lattice, behaves very similarly to Ca3CoRhO6 and Ca3CoIrO6. In particular, at low temperature ( T < T 2 ( = 21 K)), a frozen state, characterized by a very slow spin dynamic, is evidenced. On the other hand, for T 2 < T < T 1 ( = 70 K), this phase exhibits magnetization values, smaller than the expected ones, with a 1/3 plateau reminiscent of the ferrimagnetic state of Ising spins on a triangular lattice. Nonetheless, the absence of saturation in 35 T and the low magnetization values are consistent with an antiferromagnetic intrachain coupling between Ir4+ (S = 1/2) and Ni2+ (S = 1). Sr3NiIrO6 can be viewed as made of antiferromagnetically coupled ferrimagnetic chains on a triangular lattice. On the basis of these results, a magnetic (H, T) phase diagram is proposed.

ABSTRACT: After a brief review underlining the power of electronic noise studies to probe local magnetic instabilities, we present new data in three different systems in terms of dimensionality and magnetic ordering: the first results we present deal with low-frequency longitudinal and Hall resistance fluctuations in Ni nanostructures, where we address the questions of the inhomogeneous behavior of the noise at a nanometric scale. In order to get some insight into the atomic process, we report on noise generated in atomic contacts of Ni obtained by the break junction technique. And finally, we present the first electronic noise study in a one-dimensional frustrated magnetic Ca3Co2O6 single crystal composed of parallel Co spin chains. From the magnetic noise analysis, we discuss the interplay between the low-temperature three-dimensional magnetic ordering and the spin-dependent hopping conductivity on the Co sites.

ABSTRACT: We have measured the transport and magnetic properties of the model spin chain single crystal Ca3Co2O6 in high pulsed fields. A crossover between 1D and 3D transport is observed, with the opening of a Coulomb gap below the order temperature of the individual chains. The samples show changes in the variable range hopping transport dimensionality and gap; the magnetic field suppresses the gap, inducing a significant reduction of the resistance, while dimensionality seems governed by temperature. At fields associated with the levels of magnetization of the frustrated triangular lattice formed by the Co lines, and below the critical magnetic temperature, a further increase of the conductivity is observed. This effect is associated with planar magnetic states perpendicular to the lines.

Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

Chihuahuas driving up shelter population
It's not just Los Angeles, and not just California whose shelters are awash in Chihuahuas.
Phoenix is, too. Maricopa County Animal Care and Control shelters received 821 Chihuahuas in the last two months, according to the Associated Press.
That's 230 more than during the same period last year.
As of yesterday, there were 84 Chihuahuas awaiting adoption.
The shelter is offering a special deal this weekend with a Chihuahua adoption fee of only $36.

Microsoft makes good on dog's Xbox damage
Oscar, the dog who purchased 5,000 Microsoft points while chewing on his owner's Xbox 360 controller, has been given an official Microsoft membership, and his owner will receive a refund.
Microsoft, proving even a software giant has a soft side when it comes to dogs — or at least knows a good public relations opportunity when it sees one – will be refunding the points, setting Oscar up with his own gamertag and Xbox live subscription, and sending his owner Greg Strope a new controller and some extra points.
The move makes Oscar the service's first canine member.
A Lab mix, Oscar went after the remote control while his owner slept, somehow managing to turn on the console and purchase 5,000 Microsoft Points for the account of Strope, who had stored his credit card number in the remote.
Strope became aware of the $62.50 transaction whn he received an email confirmation of the purchase from Microsoft.
Yesterday, in an email to ohmidog!, a spokesman for Microsoft said the company is refunding Strope his LIVE points "and providing extra for good measure.
"Plus he will get an extra controller and a LIVE subscription for his dog, Oscar. We also created a gamertag for Oscar so that he doesn't feel left out anymore."

Like a cat to water
This little fella seems to love the feel of water splashing on his head — at least when he's in control of it.
When you're not in control of it, it's an entirely different matter — torture even.
Take my house. (Please.) Recently a new leak developed. After a downpour, water pours in through a tiny slit in the ceiling, directly above the toilet. That's very convenient — for I can just open the toilet lid and, except for some splashage, all the water goes right in.
It's convenient up until the time one needs to use said toilet, in a sitting down manner. Then the options are: get very wet, hold a pot over your head (which is harder than it sounds), or postpone the bodily function until the weather clears up.
The landlord is on the case (it's a complex roofing issue), but until a solution is reached, I'm faced with choosing between letting water that has collected who-knows-what on its trip across and through the roof pour on my head, holding a pot atop my head while on the pot, or gastrointestinal distress.
To be clear, this is not a drip, but a steady flow, and both letting it land on your head, and trying to catch it in a pot, while in the highly vulnerable squatting position, are more demeaning than you might imagine.
So I went to Home Depot and bought a 10-foot length of plastic gutter, which, if I angle one end against the wall under the hole, allows me to direct the incoming flow into the bathtub.
My bathroom now has a water feature. And I'm back in control. How do I spell relief? V-I-A-D-U-C-T.

Burned mobile home housed up to 50 dogs
Officially, six dogs were killed in a mobile home fire near Mesa, Arizona at the end of March. But the owner of the property, neighbors and witnesses say two dozen or more dog carcasses could remain in the rubble.
Possibly as many as 50 dogs were living on the property; 26 dogs survived the fire.
The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office says its Animal Cruelty Enforcement unit will not be investigating and considers the case closed.
Deputy Lindsey Smith, sheriff's spokeswoman, said animal crimes investigators went to the property and found nothing that fit the definition of animal cruelty. Smith said the investigators didn't comb through the rubble, but found only six dogs that died in the fire.
According to neighbors who dug out the carcasses last week and delivered them to Maricopa County Animal Care and Control, some of the dead animals were in plain sight, but the majority of them were buried in a 10-foot by 12-foot area, under rubble from the burnt mobile home.
The owner of the burnt property, Jamie Endicott, provided the Mesa Tribune with a receipt from Maricopa County Animal Care and Control for 31 dogs that were eventually found.
Twenty-six dogs that lived at the residence were rescued, according to Kathy Swaney, who runs Valley of the Sun Dog Rescue.
The woman who lived on the property, Beth Schmeltz, said she didn't know how many dogs she had, but she had provided shelter for them all since she began living there in 1996. Endicott was set to file the paperwork to evict Schmeltz the day the property went up in flames.
On Wednesday, residents in the neighborhood held a memorial for the dead animals. About 50 people attended.

L.A. to halt low-cost spay-neuter program
Citing a budget shortfall, Los Angeles animal control officials say they will end a voucher program that enabled residents to get low cost spaying and neutering for their dogs.
The program started last year, when the city voted to require all Los Angeles dogs and cats be neutered or spayed, with the exception of show animals, law enforcement and service dogs, and those deemed too old or sick for the surgery.
L.A. Animal Services General Manager Ed Boks says the agency was compelled by the city to make up a budget shortfall of $414,000. Ending the spay and neuter vouchers will save about $150,000, he said.
Animal welfare advocates, and some city council members, are displeased with the decision to end the program, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Councilman Dennis Zine's office said he "strongly opposes the recent decision made by the department to halt the voucher program" and will move later this week for the council to reinstate the program.

For dogs, slaughter continues in Baghdad
"While human beings in Iraq were killing each other in huge numbers, they ignored the dogs, which in turn multiplied at an alarming rate," the New York Times reported last week.
Now stray dogs are such a menace that municipal workers are hunting them down and slaughtering them — about 10,000 in Baghdad just since December.
"With fewer bombs going off and hardly any bodies being dumped anymore, the dogs are perhaps the biggest problem on the filthy and rubble-strewn streets of Baghdad. Packs of strays scare schoolchildren and people who get up at dawn to go to work. They gather at open-air butcher shops where customers choose their meat from flocks of live sheep.
"Some people believe that the dogs spread disease, not a difficult case to make in a society that generally shuns dogs as pets, believing them to be contrary to Islamic edicts on personal cleanliness.
"Thus a relative peace has changed priorities, and not just in Baghdad. The holy Shiite city of Karbala was so overwhelmed with stray dogs last year that officials there offered 6,000 dinars ($5.30) for each animal caught and handed over to the municipality. The dogs were shot and buried en masse."
In Baghdad, dogs are killed with rotten raw meat laced with strychnine. On the outskirts of town, articularly around the city's sprawling garbage dumps, the dogs are shot. By the time the cmapgin ends this month, perhaps 20,000 dogs will have been exterminated, said Shaker Fraiyeh of the ministry's veterinary services company.
"Our work may be against animal rights, but there is a more important issue, public health," said Dr. Fraiyeh, a veterinarian in his 30s.
Abdul-Karim Ismail, a veterinarian with the state-owned company dealing with the dogs, said building and maintaining animal shelters and introducing spay/neuter programs to control Baghdad's dog population are considered too costly and complicated in a nation where people had so many more pressing needs.
Some stray dogs have been fortunate enough to find new homes outside Iraq. S.P.C.A. International, a Washington-based charity, began "Operation Baghdad Pups" in 2007 to help American soldiers adopt and take home stray dogs they befriended while serving in Iraq.

Smaller running boards are difficult to get your footing when getting back out of your vehicle but the extra couple of inches on these boards makes a big difference. They're easy to clean and look great! My only criticism is for the price, the metal is a lighter gage than I thought it would be but the three brackets on mine support them very well.

About Aid Watch
The Aid Watch blog is a project of New York University's Development Research Institute (DRI). This blog is principally written by William Easterly, author of "The Elusive Quest for Growth: Economists' Adventures and Misadventures in the Tropics" and "The White Man's Burden: Why the West's Efforts to Aid the Rest Have Done So Much Ill and So Little Good," and Professor of Economics at NYU. It is co-written by Laura Freschi and by occasional guest bloggers. Our work is based on the idea that more aid will reach the poor the more people are watching aid.

At least as good as cash from a helicopter? A new standard for aid effectiveness
by guest blogger Franck Wiebe, Chief Economist at the Millennium Challenge Corporation
In the face of particularly senseless uses of foreign assistance, aid workers sometimes say "it would have been better to drop the money out of a helicopter" to convey how bad programs waste money.
Cash Transfers are less dramatic (and possibly less efficient) than throwing money from a helicopter, but CTs are increasingly accepted as a standard aid mechanism. Their beauty is their simplicity – simply give poor people what they need: more money so they can decide what they need most. Moreover, their likely impact on welfare is easily assessed, because the benefits can be quantified and tracked.

The series centers around the Bone cousins, white, bald cartoon caricatures. In the opening pages of Bone: Out from Boneville the three Bone cousins—avaricious Phoncible P. "Phoney" Bone, goofy cigar-smoking Smiley Bone, and everyman character Fone Bone—are run out of their hometown of Boneville after Phoney decides to run for mayor and built a balloon on top the head of a statue of Boneville's founder. A strong wind made the balloon break the head off of the statue and all the townspeople ran Phoncible, Smiley, and Fone out of town. After crossing a desert, the cousins are separated by a sea of locusts and individually ending up in the mysterious Valley and must make their way across the fantasy landscape pursued by rat creatures. They joyously reunite at a local village called Barrelhaven, where they are taken in by a mysterious girl named Thorn and her even more enigmatic grandmother. Fone Bone instantly develops a crush on Thorn when he meets her, and repeatedly attempts to prove his love through poetry. As they stay longer in the valley, they encounter humans and other creatures who are threatened by a dark entity, the Lord of the Locusts. The Bones are quickly drawn into the events around them, compelling them on a hero's journey to help save the world.

Arizona high court rejects private school vouchers
March 25th, 2009 @ 10:12am
by Associated Press
PHOENIX - The state Supreme Court on Wednesday overturned two school voucher programs, saying they violated the Arizona Constitution.
The vouchers provided to foster children and disabled students under a 2006 law are cash grants in the form of state payment warrants provided to parents, who must sign them over to private schools their children attend.
The justices heard arguments in December on whether the programs violate the Arizona Constitution's bans on using tax dollars to support religion or to fund private schools.
The justices unanimously decided they did. Lower courts split on the issue. . . .
"A child's learning is the function more of the characteristics of his classmates than those of the teacher." James Coleman, 1972
. . .a pupil attitude factor, which appears to have a stronger relationship to achievement than do all the "school" factors together, is the extent to which an individual feels that he has some control over his own destiny. James Coleman, 1966

Fix build error with Python 3 caused by itervalues() in setup.py The itervalues() method is not available in Python 3. As a consequence, this patch replaces the call to itervalues() in setup.py with a call to values() which works on both Python 2 and Python 3.

In some setup closing the xterm window only has the effect of deleting the pty. Then iotop would be busy looping reading on stdin. Instead we should detect the terminal deletion and exit. When this happens iotop receives (0, 25) as an event, which is (stdin, select.POLLIN|select.POLLERR|select.POLLHUP). Also, represent an empty even list as [] instead of 0, this is just cosmetic.
