Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty
The Limited Test Ban Treaty (LTBT) is a treaty prohibiting all test detonations of nuclear weapons except underground. It was developed both to slow the arms race (nuclear testing was, at the time, necessary for continued developments in nuclear weapons), and to stop the excessive release of nuclear fallout into the planet's atmosphere. The Treaty was signed and ratified by the governments of the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and the United States during the autumn of 1963.
It is officially known as the treaty banning nuclear weapon tests in the atmosphere, in outer space and under water, but is often abbreviated as the Partial Test Ban Treaty (PTBT), Limited Test Ban Treaty (LTBT), or Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (NTBT) – although the latter also refers to the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty. The Treaty was signed by the governments of the U.S.S.R. (represented by Andrei Gromyko), the United Kingdom (represented by Alec Douglas-Home), and the United States (represented by Dean Rusk), named the "Original Parties", in Moscow on August 5, 1963, before being opened for signature by other countries. The Treaty of Moscow was ratified by the U.S. Senate on September 24, 1963, by a vote of 80 to 19. The treaty went into effect on October 10, 1963.[1] [2]
Much of the initiative for the treaty had its focus in what was the rising concern about radioactive fallout as a result of nuclear weapons testing underwater, in the atmosphere, and on the ground's surface, on the part of the nuclear powers. These concerns became more pronounced after the United States successfully tested a hydrogen bomb and a thermonuclear device with the power of eight megatons of TNT in November 1952, and 15 megatons later on, and when the U.S.S.R. detonated a 60-megaton nuclear warhead, deliverable by a bomber, in October 1961.
Initially, the Soviet Union proposed a testing ban along with a disarmament agreement dealing with both conventional and nuclear weapon systems. The Western nuclear powers and the Soviet Union traded positions on this issue over the course of negotiations in the 1950s through offers and counteroffers proposed under the aegis of the United Nations Disarmament Commission. It was only later during 1959 and into the early 1960s that the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union agreed to detach a general agreement on nuclear disarmament from a ban on nuclear weapons testing.
The Soviet Union, however, only agreed in principle to a testing ban with no verification regime or protocols. It was over what measures and the method by which they could be effectively carried out that caused much of the deadlock in the latter half of 1961 over a test ban agreement. The problem of detecting underground tests – that is, distinguishing it from an earthquake – proved to be particularly troublesome. Therefore, the United States and United Kingdom insisted on intrusive, inspection-based control systems as a means to verify compliance. On the other hand, the U.S.S.R. held the position that surveillance and seismic detection equipment operated from outside the boundaries of any signatory was adequate to verify compliance. The Western Powers thought that any agreement not subject to a control system rigorous enough to verify compliance would set a bad precedent in nuclear arms control for future agreements.
In June, 1963, President Kennedy dedicated what he would call one of the most important speeches of his life, at American University's commencement ceremonies, to making his case for the treaty.[3] Deadlock ensued until early July, 1963, when Premier Khrushchev signaled his willingness to agree to a ban that would exclude underground testing. In effect, this meant the Soviet Union would agree to a test ban in the atmosphere, outer space, and under water environments. This was the position that the Western Powers had long favored as an alternative to a more comprehensive (underground environment) ban. This opened an opportunity for a three-power meeting among the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union on July 15, 1963, in Moscow. The negotiations in Moscow, reflecting the long deliberations that had gone on for nearly a decade, took relatively little time as the treaty was signed by representatives of the three governments only 21 days later.
Most countries have signed and ratified the treaty. Countries known to have tested nuclear weapons but which have not signed the treaty are China, France and North Korea.
Leaks of nuclear fallout
The provisions of the treaty eliminate the possibility of space, underwater and atmospheric testing. All testing was to be driven underground, just so long as the radioactivity did not go beyond the national border of the testing country. Both the Soviet Union and the United States subsequently performed what are known today as cratering shots intended to breach the surface but were carried on the official books as underground shots. Peaceful use test explosions are also banned, due to the difficulty in distinguishing weapons testing from purely scientific ones.[4]
The most noteworthy violation of the Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty took place at the Chagan nuclear test in the Soviet Union, carried out on January 15, 1965. The charge was powerful enough that some fallout rained upon Japan, and both Japan and the United States complained, but the complaints were eventually dropped, and the problem was ignored by the foreign governments.[5]
Both the United States nuclear test series and the Soviet Union's nuclear test series fired several devices in the 60s which were intentionally shallowly placed, intending cratering effects. None were the size of Chagan, and no fallout in other countries was detected from them.
The other accidental releases of fallout during nuclear testing have included the Baneberry nuclear test in 1970, carried out by the United States in Nevada. The dangerous effects of its radioactive fallout were soon described as one of the "world's worst nuclear disasters" by TIME magazine.[6]

What's that, you say? "Sr Gregor, last time you did a barbecue article, you had a cool video from some Youtubers with music and stuff. Where's our video? Hunh, hunh?" Very well, my little nomsters (see what I did there?), here you go. Enjoy, and while you're at it, give a browse through the rest of MyHarto's collection of always funny, seldom informative, and deep as a Chicago-style pizza "cooking" videos:
Alrighty then, again taking a tip from Chef John over at FoodWishes, I decided to try cooking shrimp in their shells. I've only cooked with truly raw shrimp a few times; typically I end up buying the precooked stuff, but for the most part, anything I cook them with results in them being a bit tougher than I'd like. Shrimp should, ideally, have moisture and a certain level of "crispness" to them when bitten into. The precooked stuff is fine for when I'm feeling lazy, but particularly in this case, you definitely want to go with raw, large-sized shrimp. (For those who might be confused - raw shrimp is usually blueish-gray. If it's pink, it's already cooked.) Shrimp are measured by how many it takes to make a pound, I went with "21/25"s, which is to say, it takes 21-25 of these shrimp to make a pound. I also bought them "ready to peel", which means that they've been deveined and could be peeled right then and there.
I started out making my side dishes - they're both cold and could stand to sit in their respective juices and oils while the shrimp cook, and the shrimp are best served near-piping hot from the pan. I went with a fruit salad of strawberries and mangoes in a honey syrup sauce, and some bruschetta. Cutting mango is, in my humble opinion, a pain in the tuchus. It doesn't have a clearly-defined pit, and when they properly ripened, they're a pain to cleanly separate from their skin. I go with a nearly-ripe mango, personally, but if you have better luck elsewise, more power to you. I cut into the fruit in quarters, without slicing through the pit, and then link my finger just under the skin. On a good day, like this one, I got it cleanly off. At that point, I just carve out chunks from the pulp. Strawberries.... um, remove the green bit and cut them? The honey syrup was about a quarter cup of honey, a pinch of nutmeg, and a couple tsps of vanilla, just enough to make it fragrant and flavorful.
Bruschettas you've seen me do elsewhere. No big changes are needed, although when I laid it all out, I kept the mozzarella separate, with some cracked pepper and olive oil drizzled on it, and the basil-mix in a bowl so people could make their own. One thing I did differently was getting rid of the seeds and "jelly" of the tomato - it made for a much less sloppy bruschetta topping.
Back to the main part of the meal, for my marinade, I went with a few dashes of salt and pepper, a couple tbsp of ketchup, a quarter-cup of brown sugar, some cumin, chipotle powder, a pinch of allspice, the juice from a medium-sized lemon, a couple tbsp of olive oil, and a pinch of onion powder. Toss your shrimp in the marinade, coating liberally, and let it sit for ten minutes or so. Get your pan nice and hot, season it, lower the temp to and lay your shrimp down side by side , with a bit of room to breath and dry out enough to crisp the shells a bit. We're also leaving the shrimps in their shells in order to somewhat insult them from the pan so they cook without drying out. You want to leave them on their side until they're cooked just past halfway, then flip them. (The flesh of shrimp will go from semi-translucent to a more solid white as it cooks.)
Once the meat has cooked through (all opaque), you're pretty much set to plate and serve. Some pointers I picked up through the video and practice:
- Don't let the shrimp sit in the marinade too long. The high acidic component will essentially cook the meat prematurely, lending itself to a more rubbery texture.
- Cooking with raw shrimp is vastly superior to precooked shrimp. If it's opaque, it's already cooked. All you're going to do by cooking pre-cooked shrimp is shrink and toughen the meat.
- Don't leave your pan on high for too long, or you'll burn the oil and your food, even if you drop the temp right before cooking.
In any case, it was fun, and a nice light summer meal. At the time, in fact, it was so hot outside, we cleaned out the dog's kiddie pool and set up our table in the pool itself so we could leave our feet in to cool off under the blistering sun. Clearly, cooking for amazing flavor doesn't lead to cultured living.

We'll start where we left off last time. To see part one of this project, click here. Or you can view the entire project in the PDF plans found at the bottom of this page. Starting from page 11 in the pdf plans, we've built the router table cabinet. Now it's time to fill it with 2 pullouts (these two pullout will hold 90 router bits) and a drawer for storing router bits , extra collets, wrenches and a couple of feather boards.
Cut out the pullout parts. Use on of the shelves to arrange your router bits. These are the largest cutter I have and they all fit on one shelf. I marked the hole locations and drilled them about halfway through the shelf. I drilled the rest of the shelves with two rows of holes spaced fairly evenly, just using my eye to gauge the distance between holes. I drilled three shelves with ½" holes and the other three with ¼" holes. I ended up with ninety holes total — more than enough for now and the future.
Screw the pullout parts together. I made one pullout for my router bits with ½" shanks the the other for my ¼"-shanked bits.
Glue up the pullout spacers. Use whatever scraps you have handy. Some of mine are made of plywood and some are made of leftover pine. So far, I've spent no money for materials. All this wood is leftover from other projects.
I After the glue has dried, machine the pullout spaces to their final dimensions and cut them to length. The spacers span the panels and are glued to the legs only. Locate them at the bottoms of the top rails and at the top of the bottom rails. Yeah, I think that's right. After the glue has dried, draw lines on the spacers perpendicular to the front rails. These are the center lines for the drawer siides. Drill pilot holes and install the screws to attach the slides to the spacers.
Measure the distance between centers on the slides you installed on the spacers Transfer this distance to the pullouts and attach the drawer sildes to the pullouts. I allowed ¼" clearance at the top and bottoms of the pullouts. Using two slides on one side of a pullout is a bit unusual, but it works great. If the pullout doesn't work perfect the first time, you can tweak the drawer sildes a bit by removing the all but the front screws on the spacer slides. Run the pullout into the cabinet about three-fourths in. This will allow the spacer slides to align with the slides on the pullout. Replace the screws, drilling new pilot holes if necessary.
Now cut out the parts for the box. I glued and screwed them together for positive holding strength. This box will look like a little cabinet when it's done. The back runs the full length top to bottom. The front needs top and bottom railis

Hi all,
I've joined this forum because I will be starting a new role within my company, as Java developer.
To this date, I have had no programming experience - I went to uni to do Law! However, I've worked my way up in my company right from the bottom and they see the potential and enthusiasm I have to the work I put in. I was offered the job on the basis that I knew nothing about Java and I would be taught on the job, put on intense courses and develop micky mouse applications for the first 6 months until I'm up to scratch.
I've been reading a book for the last month, Head First Java and completed all the exercises etc up until chapter 6. The main problem I have with this book is that it assumes some experience with Java, namely C++. I'm looking for advice, in essence, about the best way of learning Java from a very base, beginner level. I have no doubt that my new colleagues will help me in every way they can as I have worked with them for the last 9 months constantly in my previous role in the company - I used to troubleshoot complex issues and locate the exact cause, then I would pass this over to the developers who then find the offending code and fix it :-)
I'm not an idiot, but I have no programming experience. So, if there is anyone who would like to give me some advice about their experiences with learning Java and the best way I can quickly get up to speed and start coding in less than 6 months, please, do let me know!

Nuts are a powerhouse food that contain a wealth of healthy fats, fiber, bioactive nutrients,and phytochemicals. They have been linked to several potential health benefits including decreasing risk of heart disease, diabetes, and hypertension, lowering cholesterol levels, and improving control of type 2 diabetes. Nuts may also play a role in decreasing inflammation and insulin resistance. However, some are concerned with the high fat contents in nuts. At least 50% of the calories in most nuts are made up of fats. Although these fats are good fats, they do increase the calorie value of nuts and may contribute to weight gain. Excess weight and obesity are factors that increase the risk of heart disease and diabetes which the nuts are hoped to help.
Spanish researchers set out to find more conclusive information of the effect of nuts on weight gain. A systematic review, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, found that nuts were not associated with an increase in body weight, waist circumference, or body mass index.
About the Study
The systematic review included 33 randomized trials with adult participants who were offered a nut-enriched diet or their usual diet. Participants were assessed for changes in weight, body mass index (BMI), or waist circumference. A variety of nuts were used including almonds, cashews, pistachios, walnuts, peanuts and pecans. The nuts may have been used to replace other food items in the diet or simply added to current diet. Most studies lasted for 2-24 weeks.
When looking at body weight, BMI, and waist circumference, participants on the nut enriched diets did not have any differences compared to participants eating other diets.
How Does this Affect You?
A systematic review is considered a reliable method of research because it pools a large number of participants. The higher number of participants in a study, the more likely the results are to be true and not due to chance. Many of the studies were fairly short and any changes in weight may have been too small to be noticed. Longer term studies may help identify if nuts are linked to weight changes.
Some are scared off from nuts because they are a fatty, calorie-dense food but it appears adding them to your diet may not be hazardous to your waist after all. Additional studies also seem to support that nuts could be beneficial to your overall health. As with any food, moderation is an important factor. Consider nuts as a regular part of a well-balanced diet. Work with your doctor or dietitian to develop a diet plan if you have a chronic health condition or are at high risk of health issues like heart disease.

I was just added to my club and the club has transmitted to GHIN. Should I be able to post scores online?
If the data has been transmitted, your record has been sent to GHIN and you should be able to post online. However, just because your information has been sent to GHIN, does not guarantee that you can post scores online. Each golf club independently makes the decision as to whether its members may post online. If you get the message, "Not a member of a club that allows Internet Posting", your club has either decided not to accept scores posted online or has done nothing to activate that feature. If the club wants to allow Internet Posting, it needs to notify the regional golf association from which it receives the GHIN service.

Jeffrey George Sluman (born September 11, 1957) is an American professional golfer who has won numerous professional golf tournaments including six PGA Tour victories.
Sluman was born and reared in Rochester, New York. After graduating from Greece Arcadia High School in 1975, and Monroe Community College in 1977, he attended Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida. He earned a bachelor's degree with a major in finance from FSU in 1980, and turned pro later that year.
Sluman has had an unusual career in terms of winning golf tournaments. During what are usually considered a golfers most productive years – their early twenties through their middle thirties – Sluman won only once. At the age of 30, he won the 1988 PGA Championship. Then, shortly before his 40th birthday, he starting winning consistently on the Tour and in non-Tour events. After winning the 1997 Tucson Chrysler Classic, he won seven more events including four on the PGA Tour during the next seven seasons. Sluman's best season was in 2002 when he finished the year ranked 15th on the PGA Tour with $1,250,187 in earnings. Despite his rather unusual sequence in respect to tournament wins, Sluman has been one of the Tour's most consistent top 10 finishers throughout his career; his regular career earnings exceeded 18 million dollars.

A few months ago I featured Exploded Andy, a shirt from the guys that brought us some of my favorite Exploded tees, including Exploded 128, Exploded Phone and iSteamMac. After a string of Apple centric T-Shirts we now get two Android happy shirts in a row! What is an Apple fanboy like me to do about this?!
Of course, spin it and interpret it as only an Apple mega fan could! And it is for that reason that I actually really enjoy this shirt, which was designed by illustrator Chris Bishop.
Some might see this shirt as a pro Android tee. You might see Andy breaking loose and attacking the Apple way. Not me. No way! To me, Andy, that green Andoid character is much like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man character from Ghostbusters. Big, fat, and slow. Sound familiar? If so, because those are all characters that both the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man and the Android OS and its various handsets have in common. Think Droid X. Big and slow. Yuck.
And at the end of the day, what happened to the Stay Puft Mashmallow Man? He died a horrible death. Apple might not have proton packs to destroy big and fat Andy, but what they do have is even better. It's called Rabid Apple Fans. Myself included.
To me, I see here Apple fighting quite valiantly. They are the good guys. They are fighting the big battle against the fat and ugly Marshmallow known as Andy. Â Fight that fight, Apple. Keep on fighting.
Andy Vs. Apple is available now in T-Shirt and poster form. Both the T-Shirt and posters are priced at $19 a piece.

10 Myths About Technology
Hi all!
Saw this great article on cnet about some key myths about technology and wanted to share with Sim Champs like yourself!
Here's a little snippet:
Sponsored Content:
Turning a computer on and off regularly is bad for it
Another myth I heard when I canvassed my social networks was that a computer can be damaged over time by being regularly turned on and off.
In fact, said the Geek Squad's Matos, it's specifically recommended that you do power your machine off on a daily basis, for example at the end of each work day.
According to Matos, "Every computer needs its rest time," in part to be sure that if you're away from it and there are power fluctuations or surges, it isn't damaged by them.

As well, he said, it's recommended that if you're going to be away from your computer for small periods of time, you let it go to sleep while you're gone. But in any case, he said, a regular on/off pattern is definitely good for the computer, not bad.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—Sophomore Matt Brown doubled down the right field line in the bottom of the tenth inning to give No. 21 Birmingham-Southern a 4-3 Southern Athletic Association win over Hendrix College, Friday evening at Striplin Field.
Brown's double scored junior Zach Wagner, who singled to right field to open the bottom of the 10th, and helped the Panthers improve to 13-3 overall and 6-1 in the SAA. The Warriors dropped to 8-8 overall and 4-3 in conference play.
The Panthers mustered some two-out magic in the fourth and manufactured a run in the fifth to build a 2-0 lead. Junior David Bourbonnais singled to open the fourth inning and advanced to third when Brown delivered a two-out single. Junior Jake Campbell's single to left center scored Bourbonnais, and senior Evan Grovenstein worked a one-out walk and after stealing third, then scored on a Bourbonnais sac fly to center in the fifth.
Hendrix battled back to tie the game with runs in the sixth and seventh innings. Collin Radack reached on an infield single and scored two batters later on a Thomas Weber single to right field to cut the BSC lead to 2-1 in the sixth. Spencer Summers walked to begin the seventh and scored on a Wyatt Hogan RBI hit to tie the game, 2-2.
Senior Jeremy Hatley led off the home half of the eighth with a triple and was replaced by senior pinch runner Ethan Netherton. Brown followed with a double to left field to give BSC a 3-2 lead.
Hendrix answered in the top of the ninth when Matt Simmons doubled and scored from third on a Seth Mobley ground out to short to tie the game, 3-3.
Wagner opened the home half of the 10th with a single, then went to second on a balk before Brown's game-winning double gave the Panthers the win.
Bourbonnais picked up the win in relief of senior starter Miles Nordgren to improve to 1-0. Bourbonnais worked a scoreless tenth with one strikeout, and Nordgren worked into the ninth allowing three runs on six hits with three strikeouts and only one walk. The Gadsden, Ala., native threw 109 pitches, 81 for strikeouts, for 74 percent on the night.
Birmingham-Southern and Hendrix will conclude the three-game SAA series with a doubleheader on Saturday at 12:30 p.m. at Striplin Field.

A Chlorine Free Pool ~ is it possible?
Many of our customers have asked - " How can I operate my swimming pool without using Chlorine?" Those that pose the question have some concerns with the environmental effects of Chlorine production, which produces harsh by-products in the manufacture of Chlorine compounds as well as the waste produced in the packaging, transport and storage of Chlorine tablets and other forms of this very effective sanitizing chemical.
To play the advocate of the devil - without Chlorine in our daily lives, the impact of Cholera and Dysentery and other bacteria borne illnesses would rob our planet of an estimated 500,000 lives annually. Chlorine can be said to be one of the greatest inventions of the twentieth century. It has allowed us potable drinking water -and- fresh swimming pool water.
But Chlorine does have it's downside. Chlorine is a highly reactive and dangerous chemical. Without proper handling and storage - it can quickly overcome even the strongest of individuals. I have a story of my pool service truck catching fire because of an accidental mixture of granular Chlorine and Poly 60 algaecide. It took only drops of a foreign substance to cause a 100 lb drum of Calcium Hypochlorite to turn into a raging inferno.
And who can forget the Bio-Lab fire of the early 90's? The entire chemical plant burned to the ground in a matter of hours, due to careless management of this extremely volatile compound. This is the primary reason that I won't allow Chorine compounds inside our warehouses.
But I digress ~ is it indeed possible to operate a swimming pool without the use of Chlorine? It is possible, but difficult. As I am known to say, if you had a filter as big as a house, you wouldn't need Chlorine at all. Or if you had a pump as big as a small car, you wouldn't need Chlorine either. This is why a rushing stream grows no algae, but a stagnant pond does. But neither is very practical. In today's swimming pools, we use a combination of Circulation, Sanitation and Filtration to keep our pool water clean and clear. If you were to eliminate one of these three, you would need to increase the other two. Likewise, if you simply poured in 5 gallons of bleach into your unfiltered and uncirculated pool every day, you can be sure that it would remain blue.
But again, I digress. How can you operate a pool without Chlorine? Is it possible? It can be done with Biguanides. These are a peroxide based sanitizer, sold under the brand names of Baquacil or SoftSwim. But these compounds have their own drawbacks and are not exactly environmentally friendly, per se. They can be troublesome to manage, and expensive to use.
If you are interested in going Chlorine-Free, here is my recipe for success.
1. Install the largest DE pool filter money can buy, and run the pump nearly 24/7. Overfiltering the water and over-circulating the water will serve to compensate for the lack of a halogen sanitizer in the pool water.
2. Install a Nature2 purifier and an Ozone purification system. These two systems, working in conjunction, will kill most contaminants that enter the pool water. Another good alternative system is the PoolNaturally system, using Sphagnum Moss as a water conditioner.
3. Use a maintenance dosage of a quality algaecide, like a Poly 60 - not a cheap 10% quaternary ammonium compound. Using an Enzyme product will also reduce the amount of organic matter in the pool that needs to be eliminated. You may also find useful a natural clarifier like Sea-Klear to bind together suspended materials for easier filtering.
4. Shock the pool every other week with a non-chlorine shock compound like Potassium-Oxymonopersulfate.
Another option to reduce your use of manufactured Chlorine is to install a Salt Water Chlorine Generator. You are still using Chlorine, but you are making it yourself, and reducing the demand for manufactured chlorine. This method is simpler to be sure, but if you are really interested in going completely Chlorine-Free, following the recommendations above will get you as close to Chlorine-Free as you can be.
You could also just let it go natural, baby! Just let the algae grow, put in some plants, and get over the idea that pools need to be blue! Not very palatable for most pool owners, but for some pool owners who want to create a natural swimming pool, this can be a viable alternative.
So, yes, it is possible to operate a swimming pool without Chlorine (unless you operate a public pool ~ the Health Dept. will frown upon your endeavors). It is not without cost or extra effort, but it can be done!

Qt Extended 4.4.2
From Openmoko
Note: this is an old version of Qt Extended.
Installing Qt Extended 4.4.2 on the FreeRunner
Download the kernel and rootfs
Download the kernel and rootfs to your workstation. Here's a link to the rootfs created by Hypnotize. And here's the mwebster flash image containing the kernel. Boot your FreeRunner in dfu mode and use the dfu commands:
desktop# dfu-util -d 0x1d50:0x5119 -a kernel -R -D uImage-gta02-mwester-stable-d6f9fd270943fb22.bin ... stuff ... desktop# dfu-util -d 0x1d50:0x5119 -a rootfs -R -D qtextended-4.4.2-gta02-rootfs-release-working-with-SystemRingTones.jffs2 ... more stuff ...
Fix Echo Cancellation
On his blog Chris Samuel explained how to turn on echo cancellation for qt extended 4.4.2. First you need to download an updated neo plugin. Secure copy the libneovendor.so file to your Freerunner, then secure shell to the FreeRunner and do this:
freerunner# cd /opt/Trolltech/Qtopia/plugins/phonevendors/ freerunner# mv libneovendor.so libneovendor.so.orig freerunner# mv /home/root/libneovendor.so .
The change should take effect immediately.
The White Screen of Death (WSOD)
Sometimes when Qt Extended recovers from suspend you see a bright white screen. You don't have a phone anymore - you have a flashlight. Hold the power button down for about five seconds to power down the phone, then power it back up.
Compiling the Qt Extended 4.4.2 SDK
Start with a fresh Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid) install.
desktop# sudo aptitude update desktop# sudo aptitude upgrade desktop# sudo apt-get install kde-devel kde-devel-extras qt4-dev-tools build-essential thttpd patch libvorbis-dev
(sorry if I forgot some - might need to add some dbus packages)
Download the SDK source and toolchain from qtextended.org. Change directory to your machine's root directory then untar the toolchain - it will install itself to /opt/toolchains. Next create /opt/QtopiaSDK/qt-extended-4.4.2 and /opt/QtopiaSDK/build directories. Unpack the Qt extended SDK source to /opt/QtopiaSDK/qt-extended-4.4.2. Set a pair of environment variables as follows:
desktop# export QTOPIA_DEPOT_PATH=/opt/QtopiaSDK/qt-extended-4.4.2 desktop# export QPEDIR=/opt/QtopiaSDK/build/qt-extended-4.4.2
I like to create a file called setqtpath-4.4.2 with these two exports commands in them, which will look like this:
desktop# echo "export QTOPIA_DEPOT_PATH=/opt/QtopiaSDK/qt-extended-4.4.2" >> setqtpath-4.4.2 desktop# echo "export QPEDIR=/opt/QtopiaSDK/build/qt-extended-4.4.2" >> setqtpath-4.4.2
Now I can add these two variables to my environment whenever I want by sourcing them like this:
desktop# . setqtpath-4.4.2
Next download a pair of patches from mwester's openmoko stuff: pkg-config-template.patch and qmemoryfile_unix_open_args.patch. Copy these to the qt-extended-4.4.2 source directory and execute these commands:
desktop# patch -p1 < qmemoryfile_unix_open_args.patch desktop# patch -p1 < pkg-config-template.patch
Now change directory to the build directory. Execute the following:
desktop# cd $QPEDIR desktop# $QTOPIA_DEPOT_PATH/configure -device neo -D _FORTIFY_SOURCE=0 desktop# make desktop# make install
The -device neo is good for both Neo and FreeRunner. The _FORTIFY_SOURCE=0 turns off some extra error checking that is turned on by default in many linux distros but borks the qt extended build process.
There's still something wrong which will cause errors. I don't know exactly what is wrong, but I googled a fix. Find the file qt-extended-4.4.1/devices/neo/configure-common and change the line:
-add-modules pim
#-add-modules pim
Compiling an Example Qt Extended App
First set those indispensable Qt environment variables:
desktop# export QTOPIA_DEPOT_PATH=/opt/QtopiaSDK/qt-extended-4.4.2 desktop# export QPEDIR=/opt/QtopiaSDK/build/qt-extended-4.4.2
Next create a directory /opt/Qtopia/build/myapps. Copy the example app. Rename the example app to something that makes sense (how about "example"!). Create the Makefile and build the example.
desktop# mkdir /opt/Qtopia/build/myapps desktop# cd /opt/Qtopia/build/myapps desktop# cp -R $QTOPIA_DEPOT_PATH/examples/application . desktop# mv application example desktop# cd example desktop# $QPEDIR/bin/qtopiamake Finding Projects... Writing 1 Makefiles... desktop# make make: running qbuild default uic /opt/QtopiaSDK/build/myapps/application/examplebase.ui moc /opt/QtopiaSDK/build/myapps/application/main.cpp moc /opt/QtopiaSDK/build/myapps/application/example.h arm-linux-g++ /opt/QtopiaSDK/build/myapps/application/.moc/moc_example.cpp arm-linux-g++ /opt/QtopiaSDK/build/myapps/application/main.cpp moc /opt/QtopiaSDK/build/myapps/application/example.cpp arm-linux-g++ /opt/QtopiaSDK/build/myapps/application/example.cpp arm-linux-g++ /opt/QtopiaSDK/build/myapps/application/example
Now you have an executable example. Of course, it won't execute on your workstation, you must secure copy it to your FreeRunner. Then secure shell into the FreeRunner, import the Qtopia environment variables and execute the app:
desktop# scp example root@freerunner:/email@example.com's password: example 100% 33KB 33.4KB/s 00:00 desktop# ssh 192.168.3.111 root@freerunner's password: freerunner:~# . /opt/Trolltech/Qtopia/qpe.env freerunner:~# ./example
You should see a message on FreeRunner's LCD.

According 2009 Population and Housing Census, nearly 6.7 million Vietnamese ─ 7.8 percent of the population ─ are living in temporary or sub-standard housing. Low-income families living in poorly built housing are trapped in annual cycles of repairs. More than half of rural dwellers lack adequate sanitation while more than one third do not have access to clean water. Every seven in 10 persons also face the risk of typhoons, torrential storms and flooding which hit Vietnam annually.
Adequate housing creates a base of safety from which to foster social inclusion and community. It empowers women who are often the head of the household. It improves people's livelihood as the home can be used as a base for small business. When wage-earners return to a safe and comfortable home, they are likely to be healthier both mentally and physically, which boosts their labor productivity. Improvements in housing are also associated with improved educational outcomes for children.

Iraq's conflict is the result of sectarian divisions that have been allowed to fester, and it is up to Iraq's people and leaders to resolve those differences, US President Barack Obama said.
In excerpts of longer interviews on several television networks, the president sought to place responsibility for holding off the threat posed by the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (Isis), which has seized areas in the north of the country, and emphasized that US support would be limited and conditional.
Mr Obama suggested that failure to acknowledge minority concerns coupled with uncertainty in forming a government after elections in April had left Iraq vulnerable.
"Some of the forces that have always possibly pulled Iraq apart are stronger now, (and) those forces that could keep the country united are weaker," he told NBC Nightly News. "It is ultimately going to be up to the Iraqi leadership to try to pull the politics of the country back together again."
Mr Obama is sending up to 300 US military advisers to Iraq and has threatened air strikes as Sunni Islamists have gained control of the north of the country and made a push toward Baghdad. Growing mistrust between Shia and Sunni Muslims has heightened tensions in the country, where the United States fought a war from 2003 to 2011, the president said.
Mr Obama, who is under fire from some Republicans for his decision to pull U.S. troops out of the country when he did, defended his decision.
"Just because something is stable two years ago or four, doesn't mean that it's stable right now," he said.
The president said Iraq's challenge is to assemble a government in which Sunni, Shia and Kurd constituencies feel adequately represented.
"Part of the task now is to see whether Iraqi leaders are prepared to rise above sectarian motivations, come together, compromise," Mr Obama said.
"If they can't, there's not going to be a military solution to this problem. There's no amount of American firepower that's going to be able to hold the country together," he said.
Mr Obama said US advisers will determine whether there is a functioning chain of command in Iraq's military. U.S. assistance in establishing joint operations depends on cooperation among Iraq's ethnic and religious groups, he said.
"The terms on which we send in any advisers would be dependent on us seeing that within the military and with the political structure that there remains a commitment to a unified and inclusive Iraqi government and armed forces," he said.

Associate of The English Manner, Susan Osman, made the news last week (click here for full article) for commenting on how the Chinese revere age and experience when it comes to the professional world. Susan has been offered a high-profile job with China Radio International's English service. Having previously worked for, amongst other organisations, the BBC, Susan felt that youth was not seen as vital in Chinese broadcasting, unlike in Britain.
This made me think that sometimes we as a nation are too quick to judge someone over their age. Does it really matter what age someone is when it comes to doing a job? Granted that there are some jobs that do require a certain youthfulness, and for each of those, there will be a similar number of jobs really only suited for older people.
I have encountered people mis-judging me due to my age. I was in a taxi yesterday and the driver asked me how old I was. I replied (20) and he looked very confused. Admittedly, I do look quite young (although older than 20) but sound like a 55-year-old. But I often get asked how I can be an etiquette consultant at my age. To be fair, it's a valid question. The stereotype of etiquette experts is that of a woman in her early sixties with half-moon glasses and a brooch. I've had some fairly harsh comments in the past; although I have a thick skin so can rise about these easily.
There is no pre-requisite that to be an etiquette tutor one has to be over fifty. It is perhaps true that someone of more advanced years will have experienced life more, but as for knowing the rules, nuances and protocols, anyone with enough determination, vigour and vim can pick these up fairly straightforwardly. And being young also gives one the advantage of being able to talk coherently about other aspects of life that older colleagues may not be able to cover.
So which can see that ageism can work both ways. We should not judge someone just based on how old they are. This is wrong. What matters is one's understanding, determination and ability.

Night lights
We avoid using unneeded lights at night to reduce light pollution.
Transit friendly
This library is conveniently located near public transportation.
Taming the temperature
We use roofing and exterior paving materials that reduce the heat island effect (thermal gradient differences between developed and natural areas). This minimizes our impact on the microclimate and on wildlife habitat.
Let the sun shine in
Windows provide natural light and reduce the use of electricity.
A fresh idea
Windows that open allow for natural ventilation, improve indoor air quality and eliminate the need for artificial air conditioning.
Pedal Power
Bicycle racks are provided, encouraging library visitors to use this environmental and health conscious mode of transportation.
Climate controls
Zero chlorofluorocarbon (CFC)-based refrigerants are used in the building's heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVAC&R) systems.
A bright idea
High performance lighting fixtures use less electricity and need to be replaced less frequently.
Breathe deeply...
You can because this wood composite is made without formaldehyde (which gives off harmful fumes that can cause breathing problems).
Breathe easier
The paints, adhesives and sealants in this building contain only low levels of volatile organic compounds (VOC), reducing odorous or harmful indoor air contaminants.
Flourishing flooring
Made from natural ingredients including flax seeds, sawdust and pine resin, this linoleum comes primarily from renewable resources and is biodegradable.
Lowering the flow
Efficient fixtures such as low-flow faucets reduce water usage by 45%.

- Once you have listened to the piece use your mouse to drag the relevant notation on to the stave.
- When you are happy with your answer, simply click on the 'Answer' button to reveal the correct positioning of the notes.
Dictation isn't as hard as it seems! Remember these golden rules...
- Start with the rhythm - you can write it above the stave to help. All of our examples give you the time-signature and bars, so use that to help you work and make sure you've got the right number of beats in each bar!
- Once you've got the rhythm try to work out the pitches of the notes. Notes that are conjunct (next to each other) are often easier to fill in, but don't be put off by bigger leaps. If you try and 'hum' the notes in your head and 'count' the distance in between you can work out where you're going. Alternatively, try our handy interval guide to help you.
- Look out for bits you've heard before! Music often repeats itself, so whether it's a recognisable rhythm, note or interval then make sure you use it to your advantage.
- Don't panic. it's easy to hear something, think "there's no way I can write that" and give up all hope. But practising really helps, and by breaking the piece into manageable chunks and using logic then it's always possible.
- With the excercises above feel free to listen as many times as you like until you're happy. You can then check your answer and see if you've gone wrong anywhere.
For Teachers
Teachers can download a free lesson plan (pdf) for A level students. The lesson plan is designed to help students recognise intervals, develop rhythmic perception and practice dictation exercises.

I couldn't thank the American Anthropological Association's member donations enough for this experience. At the Smithsonian Institution-National Museum of African Art I am just finishing up the research for the project creativity of work assigned to me by my coordinator, Dr. Kreamer. Dr. Kreamer is the Deputy Director and Chief Curator for the National Museum of African Art. I intend to edit my findings and continue researching throughout the next few weeks. Dr. Kreamer and I had a conversation about the next step to the project which will include constructing a list of images that go along with the concept of work and that can be displayed in the exhibit. We intend to go into storage and find images, sculptures , and other pieces of art that will work with the project to tell the story of work and how it contributes to people's everyday lives in Africa.
Dr. Kreamer and I were also able to discuss post-graduate opportunities with a possibility of me continuing to work with the Smithsonian Institute on other research projects after this experience.
Last Wednesday I attended a meet and greet information meeting for Smithsonian interns where I met fellow Smithsonian employees. At the meeting they were able to give me insight and encouraged me to continue to pursue my passion of curatorial work with the intention of continuing my work with the Smithsonian.
This Tuesday I attended an event offered to the African Art interns where we were given a personal tour of the museum and all of the hidden places that the museum had that weren't open for public view. On the tour we were able to see the archives, the private collections, and the storage facilities where they keep all of the extra art. We met with workers to discuss the processes of woodwork and construction that goes into building packaging to ship artwork and how they build the sets that the artwork is displayed in in the museum. We also had the opportunity to talk to a curator who gave us a personal tour of Camille and Bill Cosby's collection of artwork. The African Art museum is preparing for an opening in November that the Cosby's are contributing many pieces of work too. We were given an inside look of the artwork that is about to be put on display. The artwork is fascinating. Their collection is truly inspiring and I encourage everyone to check out their art when the exhibit opens in November.
At my internship at the American Anthropological Association we are currently working on outlining essay and poster projects for students to become involved in. These projects will provide students the opportunity to present their research and build their resumes. These events will be surrounding the very first National Anthropology day which will be celebrated in February 2015.
Last weekend I went to the Newseum, the National Archives to see the Bill of Rights, Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, and the Library of Congress where I used my library card access the bottom level and explore the vast collection of novels and articles. The following day I went on a hike at Riverbend Park and where I saw the great falls along the Potomac which separates Virginia and Maryland. After the hike I went to see the Pentagon and tried Vietnamese food. I really enjoyed adventuring around the area and I am looking forward to exploring more museums and parts of DC this weekend.
The AAA Summer Internship Program is funded entirely by AAA member donations. Make your contribution today!

Regular flights to Boston
It's just seven hours non-stop from London, with British Airways' award-winning service.
It's just seven hours non-stop from London, with British Airways' award-winning service.
America's oldest city has a lot to brag about: seat of the world's greatest universities, the birthplace of the modern USA, holder of the States' greatest collections of Impressionist painting. It's even titled the Athens of America.
But this isn't a city for bragging. Instead, Bostonians are down to earth, welcoming and neighbourly. The city is small and boutique, perfect for wandering. You can get around on the rickety T line or simply by walking. Every corner celebrates America's immigrants and founders in servings of great cuisine and well-preserved history. On Boston city breaks, feel cultured in Harvard, competitive at a baseball game in Fenway Park and flush at the prospect of tax-free shopping. If you ever lose your way, the Freedom Trail will guide you to the city's best sights. From the summit of Bunker Hill at the end of the trail, you'll look back at Boston with affection, even if it's just a stop on a multi-centre adventure. Book flights to Boston: you'll always be glad you've been to 'Beantown'.
We've opened the doors to our spectacular new lounge at Boston Logan International Airport.
Make the perfect start to your journey by visiting the complimentary bar and get creative with our in-house mixologists. Next, take in the panoramic views of the Boston skyline before calming your senses in a luxurious shower suite, featuring new rain shower technology. Why not finish off your experience with a mouth-watering pre-flight meal. Then, when you're all finished, simply step on-board our new A380, directly from the lounge.
Lounge access is available to British Airways Gold and Silver Members, Club World business class and First passengers.
A magnet for fashionable folk – Back Bay boasts some of the best shopping in Boston. Discover an array of chic boutiques and trendy eateries in bustling Newbury Street. Browse over 100 big-brand and designer stores at Copley Place Mall and then find incredible Impressionist treasures in the Museum of Fine Arts. Back Bay is a must-visit for baseball fans – see the Boston Red Sox in action at Fenway Park or enjoy a tour of the iconic stadium.

Player Boljug abusing friend request:
I've been trying to compete in tournaments, and there's a player that keeps trying to distract me by spamming friend requests. I put him on my block players list, but that doesn't stop him from distracting me from friend requests. This should be considered a bug, since a blocked player should NOT be allowed to spam friend requests.

Eindhoven University develops the first coating with self-repairing surface functionality
Researchers at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) have for the first time developed a coating with a surface that repairs itself after damage. This new coating has numerous potential applications – for example mobile phones that will remain clean from fingerprints, cars that never need to be washed, and aircraft that need less frequent repainting. The results were published in the 17 July edition of the influential scientific journal Advanced Materials.
Functional coatings, for example with highly water-resistant or antibacterial properties, have at their surface nano-sized molecular groups that provide these specific properties. But up to now, these molecular groups are easily and irreversibly damaged by minor contact with their surface (such as by scratching), quickly causing their properties to be lost. This has been a big limitation to the possible applications of these coatings. Researcher Catarina Esteves of the department of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry at TU/e and her colleagues have now found a solution to this problem. They have done this by developing surfaces with special 'stalks' carrying the functional chemical groups at their ends, and mixing these through the coating. If the outer surface layer is removed by scratching, the 'stalks' in the underlying layer re-orient to the new surface, thereby restoring the function.
This development can be of great importance for many applications. For example it will be possible to make a self-cleaning car, with a highly water-resistant coating that keeps this self-cleaning property for long periods. The superficial scratches will be self-repaired and the water droplets simply roll off the car, taking dirt with them. An occasional rain shower is all that's needed to keep the car clean. In the same way, products like mobile phones, solar panels or even aircraft will remain clean for a longer time. For aircraft a cleaner surface means less air resistance, which in turn reduces fuel consumption. Other applications are contact lenses that self-repair their scratches, and coatings that resist the formation of algae, which is an advantage for ships. A limitation of the new technology is that it only works with superficial scratches that do not completely penetrate the coating.

Vintage Air Serpentine Belt System - Out Front, Smaller Is Better!
Vintage Air's New Front Runner Serpentine System For Small-Block Fords
This just in: Size does matter, and smaller is better! Well, maybe not for everything, but when it comes to things cluttering your engine compartment, small and compact are good. Air conditioning takes up a fair amount of space under the dash and the hood, and Vintage Air knows this as well as anyone. They have successfully introduced their new Front Runner system that reduces all the engine-mounted A/C accessories to a tight-knit cluster that mounts to the engine block and doesn't clutter up the heads or intake, which allows them to be removed easily. The Front Runner is driven by a serpentine belt to help simplify the system and uses a spring tensioner for hassle-free use and adjustment. To help it stay in the confines of the engine's shadow, Vintage Air's new and exclusive TiteFit Line compact compressor fits in a spot not much bigger than the included polished GM 140-amp alternator. Precision-machined and hard-coated, the Front Runner's aluminum pulleys reduce weight but wear like steel, and are engineered and matched for optimum component speeds, which reduces failure and maintenance. The Front Runner was only available for the small-block Chevy at first, but rejoice, all you Blue Oval fans, it's now ready to order and mount on your small-block Ford.
Trucks don't always have, and in fact rarely do they have, much room under their shallow dashboards for extra stuff like stereos and A/C units, and most older, factory- or dealer-installed A/C units hung well below the bottom of the dash, but it was all in the name of comfort, right? Now we can have both! Vintage Air has had great success with their Gen II unit, and now has it in a mini version as well, which would work perfectly in the 1960 Ford F-100 we're close to getting on the road that also has a punched-out 351 Ford small-block in it. So follow along, and if you set aside a Saturday with your truck, you could have air conditioning in no time thanks to Vintage Air!

I got a preliminary quote from state farm for 375 for 6 months, but i think he may have quoted the roadster. Even that seems low. However I should know for sure soon since they tell me i should get my car in 1 to 2 months.
Really, that's all?? I was quoted $2000 for 6 months from Allstate in California. I have a spotless record. Sounds like I need to call around more.
State farm quoted me around $560 for 6 months. We are in California.
Geico; $560/6m
I got quoted $1,200 for 6 months but my coverage is $500K/$300K as I'm sure most of Model S owners should have
Ameriprise/Costco $459/6months in Washington State.
If you are looking for more data, you may want to check these threads:
I just switched from AAA insurance to Geico on my "S" in SoCal. AAA wanted 1650 for 12 months. Geico was 1543 for the "S" and another auto. Much, better rates..especially if you do an umbrella through them.
State Farm quoted me $425/6 month, including 10y accident free and multiline discounts. I am in Minnesota.
I did this quote from Progressive online ($373.50/6 mo).
I did this quote from Progressive online ($373.50/6 mo).
Wow. I get completely different numbers from Progressive. The art that is insurance quoting.
San Jose, California (Annual Premium)
State Farm: $1162
Progressive: $1512
Geico: $1099
Liberty Mutual: $1809
Travelers: $1200
When I checked on insurance they had a difficult time finding any information in their database on Tesla. The first agent asked if this was a Smart car....ahh NO I explained. I finally got with my normal agent after taking delivery this last week and was given a price of $413/6 months with MetLife. This seems pretty reasonable based on the replacement cost.
Farmers, in California, about 1600/year
but you need to compare the liability, deductible, etc to compare apple to apple
Nationwide quoted us just under $1300/year in California ($1000 deductable).
@Schlermie I'm in San Jose as well and State Farm quoted me $2060 for 12 months... plus multi-policy discounts with home & other cars & a perfect driving record!?!
What level of coverage & deductibles did you request in your quotes?
State Farm $556/6mo, Atlanta, $500 deductible.
State farm, $473/6 mos. in Ky.
$1000 deductible with full coverage at $250/500, multi with home,other cars and perfect record. Fully loaded performance. I spoke with Jim Edington in the 95138 area.
@Schlermie, excellent! Thanks so much for the info... that's even higher coverage than I was quoted 0.o
My San Jose State Farm agent (in 95126) might have some explaining to do ;)
You have any idea how much I should expect my insurance to be? I am 23, license holder for 5 years now, no records, Fremont CA. Progressive is quoting me a staggering $300/month!
P14884, why not check the threads already linked above? Like this one:
P14884...try GEICO, their Tesla rates have been good
I just got insurance for my model S in CA. I used to be with AAA, but they wanted 5.6K for 12 months! Switched to Geico for only around 2.6K. I'm a single male 29 year old and have one speeding ticket on record, but everything else is clean.
I would recomendthat people should at least check out Geico. I have been with them for 25 years and never had a problem. And whenever I compared rates theirs have always been the lowest, by far.
Early on I had some unfortunate luck with one of my cars. First a tree fell on it in a wind storm, and a few months later it was stolen. The bottom line was Gieco ended up paying me more on that car than the total of all my premiums to that date. Oh, you ask, how much did my Geico bill go up? Not one cent. Since none of it was my doing, they explained, my policy cost would remain the same. :)
You convinced them you didn't cut down the tree, then? Good job!
I have a couple of speeding tickets and two other vehicles. When to 8 different companies. Essurance was the lowest at 1660 for 6 months, Gieco was the highest at 2430. Nationwide and progressive were the other low two.
@Joyrider - YMMV, but Geico was nearly double every other quote I had. They have to pay for all the gecko commercials somehow.
My State Farm rate in IL is $635 / 6 months. That is with a multi-car and home insurance discount. If I did not have the multi-car, it would have been $766 just for the Model S.
The (reverse) wages of sin‼‼
Multiply the miles you were speeding by the mph over the limit you were (on average). Divide that number into the extra insurance you will pay for the next 5-10 yrs. That is the cost per 1 mph speeding for 1 mile.
$344 for 6 months state farm
@skystream -that is fantastic. I get my car next week, and have been with State Farm for 32 years, and when I asked a few months ago for a quote they said "we have no idea". Is there a way I could have my SF agent contact yours? If you don't mind, then feel free to email me at email@example.com.
People, to compare oranges to oranges, you need to state your coverage and deductible and then the premium, otherwise, someone can have a low deductible and a high premium, or a high deductible, and thus a lower premium... your age and where you live also matter, multi-car discount, etc, there are many factors. but in any case, @skystream3.7, if you have good coverage and deductible, your rate is excellent! Envious.
I'm over 50, excellent record, multi discount etc and its 600 for 6 months in Illinois wi American Family for me.

Pastry Partner
When it comes to liners and mats that you place on top of a cookie sheet, the answer is an unreserved yes. Cookies lift right off, so there's absolutely no cleanup (but you'll get a slightly crisper cookie). Silicone baking sheets can also be used for rolling out dough without adding excess flour to prevent sticking. The Tupperware Silicone Wonder Mat ($32) and SiliconeZone Baking Mats ($12 to $24, depending on size) even have measurements to guide you when you're preparing a rectangular pan pizza or, on some, a round piecrust. To locate a Tupperware distributor in your area, visit ordertupperware.com or siliconezone.com.
Takes the Cake
For cakes, however, we still prefer conventional metal pans. Silicone molds do not always peel off smoothly, sometimes taking an edge off the cake. Also, you can't count on getting the uniformly golden brown crust you want for texture and easy frosting. And because the molds must sit on a cookie sheet for support in the oven, you'll need to use a sheet large enough to hold both pans on a single oven rack or bake them on two racks.
Flight of Fancy
But if storage space is an issue (these can be folded up and wedged into an empty space in a drawer or cabinet) and you want to give the molds a try, look for models with smooth, not waffled, interiors for easier cleaning, and handles for a secure grip. We recommend the cake forms from KitchenAid ($16.99 to $32.99), which come in standard sizes. KitchenAid Silicone Bakeware is available at kitchenaid.com Have to have that butterfly pan? It's $19.99 from Pedrini or at amazon.com.

Kohei Uchimura produced the performance of his life on the high bar to come back and just barely beat Oleg Verniaiev to defend his Olympic all-around gymnastics title by a tenth of a point.
Verniaiev led Uchimura going in to the last rotation and appeared ready to close it out. But the man known as King Kohei produced a sterling 15.8 on the high bar that wound up being just enough. Verniaiev followed Uchimura and hopped on his landing, leaving the door open for the judges.
The 22-year-old Verniaiev turned in a 16.1 on parallel bars that appeared good enough for gold, but the six-time world champion showed why he's still the best, even if just barely — the final margin was 92.365-92.266.
U.S. & World
Britain's Max Whitlock won bronze with 90.641. Uchimura, who hasn't lost since the 2008 Beijing Olympics, is the first man since Sawao Kato in 1968 and 1972 to win two consecutive all-around Olympic titles.
Americans Sam Mikulak and Chris Brooks finished well off the podium. Mikulak, who finished fifth on the vault in 2012, was seventh. Brooks was 14th.
