The flexi Fit is a unique and ultra-flexible installation system, which will fit almost any opening. The wall fittings can be turned to fit either inside or outside the door frame. The flexi fit gate can open in both directions, and it can be operated with one hand. Quick release makes it easy to mount and detach if required.
We needed a stairgate that fitted our awkward staircase and this has done the job perfectly. They seem to have fixed the instructions that was mentioned in a previous review. Bit of a tricky one to fit. but now it's up it is perfect
Fantastic stairgate and excellent value for money. Easily installed by my husband. Would definitely recommend!
I bought this gate to go at the bottom of my stairs, i had a pressure mounted one there but found the bottom bar uncomfortable so I bought this as it has no bar. It was a bit fiddly to put up but once there is sturdy. I would strongly recomend using rawl plugs if you are not screwing into solid wood as the gate is weighty. Also make sure you pay attention to which way you want the gate to open before you do any drilling.
We bought this gate to put at the top of our stairs when the grandchildren visit. Chose this one as it is wider than most others and has no bottom rail to trip over.
Lovely stairgate that fits neatly at the top of our stairs and falls naturally back against wall when open. No bottom bar to trip over. Feels very solid and safe when closed. Just remember to swap A & B as mentioned in other comments.

(FILES) -- A file photo taken on March 10, 2013 shows Kenya's newly elected President Uhuru Kenyatta delivering a speech after attending a mass on at the Martyrs of Uganda Catholic church during a thanksgiving service in Gatundu, Kiambu. The International Criminal Court on March 31, 2014 postponed Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta's repeatedly-delayed trial over post-election violence to October, saying it was giving Kenya more time to look for documents wanted by prosecutors. "Today the Trial Chamber adjourned the case against Uhuru Kenyatta until October 7," the Hague-based ICC said in a statement. AFP PHOTO / SIMON MAINASIMON MAINA/AFP/Getty Images

Does Brett Favre still have some unresolved feelings about Green Bay? With his sharing of classified Green Bay information to anyone willing to listen, it would seem so.
Last weekend, FoxSports.com reported that Favre called Detroit Lions President Matt Millen a few weeks ago to give him information on how to beat Green Bay – or at least, how Green Bay, when Favre was there, would prepare to play the always-terrible Lions.
In case you have forgotten, or have at least tried to, Brett suffered a heart-splitting breakup with the Packers during the pre-NFL season. He had second thoughts about retirement and wanted back in, but Green Bay had already made other plans and told Favre no thank you. So instead of hanging his cheese head, he signed with the Jets. It was high drama – worse than what you would find in the girls bathroom during a middle school dance.
This week, Brett had to formally deny any secret-sharing allegations and said that he didn't call Millen, Millen called him… you know, to go hunting.
"I didn't give him any game planning," Favre said in a press conference on Wednesday. "I haven't been in that offense in over a year. I don't know what else to tell you. It was pretty simple." Favre said he received the call from Millen while he was traveling home and the two talked mainly about hunting… and a little about football.
Now, if I am to believe Favre – that Millen called him to talk hunting – I have to believe that what Millen had in his sights was information on Green Bay. And who can blame him. The Detroit Lions are so, so very bad that something has to be done, all ethics aside. Detroit is winless so far and that record doesn't look to improve any time soon. I don't blame Millen for calling Favre. Sometimes, you just have to fight dirty.
On the other hand, maybe it really was Brett who called Millen to share some Green Bay secrets. This scenario is as good as it gets and would be proof that Brett, despite how excited he may seem to be playing for the now dismal Jets, really wants to be in Green Bay.
Led by the young arm of Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay now sits in second place in the NFC North, behind the Bears. Rodgers, a little shaky at times, is leading the team to some well-deserved victories and everyone in Green Bay has forgotten about Uncle Brett. I guess I would make some calls, too.
It was FoxSport.com's Jay Glazer who first reported Brett's secret-sharing story, and he is sticking to it. "I stand by my story 1,000 percent," Glazer told The Associated Press. "I guess Brett and I will just agree to disagree on certain things. The way I do my work, I don't go on what just one person told me. I investigated this fully and for quite some time. I spoke with several sources, and when I go with something, I make sure it's dead-on. I think my track record speaks for itself."
According to The New York Times, Glazer's report was based on anonymous sources (the best kind) and has not been confirmed publicly by anyone within the Packers or Lions organizations. But Lions Coach Rod Marinelli seemed to give a little truth to the matter when he responded with "no comment" when questioned last Monday and Tuesday.
Loose-lips Brett is giving out information to anyone who will listen. Hell, he may even be giving information to the Dallas Cowboys.
Apparently, Favre also called Cowboy QB Tony Romo, but this time he was just sharing some advice on how to play through injuries.
"Next thing I know, I'm calling everyone in the league, giving out secrets," Favre said. "I'm willing to help, but it's awful ridiculous."
The hard truth is Brett needs to hand up the phone and instead get his act together on the field. Right now, he is playing terrible ball (and at the cost of Chad Pennington's once blossoming career in N.Y., who was sent to Miami of all places because Brett needed a place to play).
Brett wants to play ball without giving up all the perks of a retired quarterback – playing phone tag, sharing gossip, starring in commercials, planning hunting trips. Last week's overtime loss to the Raiders, which he said was one of the most disappointing in his career, was inexcusable.
Brett, pull your head out of your ass for the sake of all us good, betting Americans. Worry about playing football. You can play phone tag in the off season.

"This news has left me heartbroken," the actress tells PEOPLE in a statement. "I can only imagine the pain his family feels at this time, and my heart goes out to them, especially Deborah, Michael and Liliana."
"I spent 10 years of my life studying and admiring one of the most brilliant actors, yes, but more importantly, one of the greatest men," Sigler, who played daughter Meadow Soprano on the hit HBO show, continues.

THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF VARIABLE STAR OBSERVERS 25 Birch Street, Cambridge, MA 02138 USA BITNET: aavso@cfa SPAN: cfa::aavso INTERNET: email@example.com Tel. 617-354-0484 FAX 617-354-0665 AAVSO ALERT NOTICE 182 (March 11, 1994) 1229+08 SUPERNOVA 1994D IN NGC 4526 We have been informed by the Central Bureau for Astronomical Telegrams (IAU 5946 and Nova Network) that R. R. Treffers, A. V. Filippenko, and S. D. Van Dyke (University of California at Berkeley) and M. W. Richmond (Princeton University) reported the discovery of a supernova in NGC 4526 (R.A. 12h 31m 31s Dec.+07° 58.5', epoch 1950), located 9" west and 7" north of the galaxy nucleus. "The object was found on March 7 UT (R=15.2 magn.) during the Leuschner Observatory Supernova Search, which uses an automated 0.76-m telescope equipped with the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory CCD camera. Confirmation was made with an image taken through thin fog on March 9, and the object appeared to be brighter than on March 7. It could not be detected to a limiting magnitude of R = ~17 on March 1. Inspection of spectra ...reveals that the supernova is of Type Ia, probably about 1 week prior to maximum brightness ...The continuum is very blue. This supernova could reach magnitude 11 to 12, since the parent galaxy is in the Virgo Cluster." Accompanying is a finder chart for this galaxy and the surrounding field from the Thompson and Bryan Supernova Search Charts (1989). The comparison star magnitudes are all photoelectric (V) magnitudes and are from Hanes gi -41. 1976, Month. Not. Royal Astron. Soc., 177, 653; Kilkenny and Malcolm 1984, MNRAS 209, 169; and Geneva Observatory, Grenon M. et al. Also accompanying are two CCD images of NGC 4526 showing the supernova, provided by M. W. Richmond and A. V. Filippenko. Below are observations reported to the AAVSO and the Central Bureau of Astronomical Telegrams: Mar 9.90 UT, 13.5 (J.-C. Merlin, Le Creusot, France; photovisual); 9.901, 13.7 (B. H. Granslo, Sollihoegda, Norway); 9.932, 13.3 (H. Dahle, Oslo, Norway); 10.885, 12.9 (O. Midtskogen, Tranby, Norway); 10.961, 12.5 (G. M. Hurst, Basingstoke, England); 11.548, 12.8 (Y. Sekino, Kanagawa, Japan). Please monitor the supernova closely and report your observations, giving the exact time to the minute, to AAVSO Headquarters using our charge-free number (1-800-642-3883). Be sure to indicate the comparison stars you have used in making your estimates. 1844-21 NOVA SAGITTARII 1994??? P. M. Kilmartin (Mt. John University Observatory, Christchurch, New Zealand) and B. Skiff (Lowell Observatory, AZ) have provided the following precise measurement for N Sgr 94 (IAU Circular5944): R.A. 18h 5Om 37s Dec. -21deg 23'29" (epoch 2000), which precesses to R.A. 18h 47m 37s Dec. -21deg 27'02" (epoch 1950). B. Skiff identifies a star of B magnitude 18 and R magnitude 16 as the suggested promising,,, candidate for this nova. N Sgr 94 has dropped significantly from the beginning of March to date, as indicated by the following observations reported to the AAVSO: Mar 2.0 UT, 8.2 (D. Overbeek, Edenvale, S. Africa); 4.49, 8.6 (W. Dillon, Missouri City, TX); 5.0, 8.5 (Overbeek); 5.20, 8.6 (M. Zanotta, Laino, Italy); 5.54, 9.4 (P. Collins, Scottsdale, AZ); 6.42, 9.8 (P. Walker, Middlebury, VT); 7.0, 9.0 (Overbeek); 7.0, 9.2 (J. Smit, Waverley, S. Africa); 8.48,10.9: (R. King, Duluth, MN); 9.48, 11.0 (King); 10.46,10.9: (Dillon); 11.1, 11.0 (Smit); 11.013, 10.8 (Overbeek); 11.065, 10.8 (Overbeek). R. M. Wagner, Lowell Observatory, reports that the spectrum of this object taken on Mar. 4 by R. Bertram does not look like a nova spectrum. The continuuum is very red, with a "very narrow H-beta emission line" and many narrow absorption lines. He comments that this object may not be a nova but a long period variable (Nova Network). This is certainly a very interesting object that deserves very close monitoring! Please monitor it whenever possible and report your observations to HQ. Many thanks for your efforts and valuable astronomical contributions. Janet A. Mattei Director

Caterham are "very, very close" to confirming their 2014 driver line-up which will include at least one experienced driver.
Although last season Caterham raced rookie driver Giedo van der Garde and Charles Pic, who had just one year's experience under his belt, this season the backmarker outfit wants a driver who has been around.
Heikki Kovalainen was initially the favourite to return to his former team, however, in recent weeks Kamui Kobayashi has also been linked to the seat.
"There are lots of drivers being linked with Caterham at the moment which is very good news for us," a team spokesman told Sky Sports Online.
"I think it's flattering that somebody of Kamui's experience, talent and popularity would be linked to our team.
"We will be making an announcement on drivers in due course and there are a number of drivers of Kamui's experience who are being considered."
He added: "I think you could guess that we would need to have at least one experienced driver in the car this year.
"It's particularly important with the new rules and the new car configuration that you have somebody who has some experience.
"Again, it's flattering that a team of our size and stature is being linked with experienced drivers and I think that's more than likely to be something that we will see."
And although in the past Caterham have announced at the last minute, this year they expect to have a decision made "very" soon.
Asked about the timeframe, he said: "Sometime before 9 o'clock on Tuesday 28 January [when the Jerez test starts]!
"Last year we did leave it a little bit late, we're not planning to do the same again this year.
"We are very, very close to be being able to make an announcement and it will be soon. We have a couple of weeks but we are aiming not to use all of them."

Gulf Coast Dodges a Bullet... for Now
A sad and ironic post for the day after Earth Day – the Gulf of Mexico offshore oil rig that caught fire on Tuesday and sank yesterday is still a serious concern for the Coast Guard, NOAA and potentially for dozens of endangered species.
The Coast Guard continues to search for the missing 11 crew members while cleanup efforts have begun. An oily sheen covers the water where the rig used to stand, probably related to the fire and onboard activity as the rig sank. While it is contained for now, BP Vice President David Rainey said "it certainly has the potential to be a major spill." BP PLC operates the license on which the rig was drilling.

Warlords of Draenor: More information on the new toybox feature
As ever, you can read all Rygarius' responses to player questions after the break -- there's a lot of great information on how they're categorizing toys before players get to weigh in with their feedback. It seems likely that Archaeology items will be included, for example, and equippable items with effects will likely be turned into a spell, allowing the player to use the effect without having to have the item equipped.
However, Rygarius does point out that certain items (the particular one under discussion being Sylvanas' Music Box) may remain character specific. Other things such as the Jade Raccoon are under consideration as toys, but not confirmed either way. Regardless, the goal is to free up more space in your inventory, something that will be welcomed by all!

Fabio goes to Philadelphia to take on his favorite sandwich with the locals, a true Philly cheesesteak 'wit' onions.
- Use rib-eye steak for the best flavor. Slice it as thin as possible. For easier slicing, put the rib-eye in the freezer for 20 minutes to par-freeze it. Don't salt the steak: you'll draw out too much moisture and dry out your sandwich.
- Cheesing your Steak: Slice, shred, grate, or cube cheese before melting it: a block of cheese is not going to melt well at all. Soft cheeses melt best.
- A quick cheese primer: Cheez Whiz: a thick, bright orange, processed cheese sauce. American: a mildly flavored processed cheese that melts easily and is often used in sandwiches. Cheddar: a hard yellow or white cheese originating in England. No Philadelphians use Cheddar on their cheesesteaks…that's near blasphemy.

A locum GP who worked out of hours has been jailed for two and a half years at Sheffield Crown Court after admitting the manslaughter of a 42 year old man who died after the doctor failed to recognise the signs of diabetic ketoacidosis.

He admitted causing the death of Andrew Fellows by failing to carry out an adequate clinical assessment, failing to refer him to …

Since Pepperdine is a law school rooted in the Christian tradition, it is unsurprising that spirituality is an important component of student life. While individuals from all faith traditions (and those with no faith tradition) are welcomed into the Pepperdine community, the Christian foundation of the law school is visibly expressed in a variety of ways.
Professor Jim Gash and his family host a large group Bible study in their home each Wednesday of the academic year at 7 p.m. The Bible study is organized and led by law students and includes worship music, prayer, and a guest speaker. The majority of speakers are faculty, administrators and staff members from Pepperdine that the students invite to come and share their faith. For more information, contact Stephanie Lamphere or Luke Baty, the student leaders of the Bible study, at firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com
The Christian Legal Society serves as the primary community for Christian students at the law school. Although the Christian Legal Society does not host a large formal Bible study or prayer group, there are numerous small groups that form through and within the organization. For more information on the Christian Legal Society, including becoming a part of a small group, contact Sarah Thornsberry at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Each year, the Student Life Office selects several emerging Christian leaders from among the first year students to serve as Spiritual Life Advisors. The selected students serve in this role throughout their student years. The primary role of the Spiritual Life Advisors is to serve as a liaison between the students and the law school administration in regard to spiritual life matters at the law school. The SLA group meets with the Student Life Office on a weekly basis throughout the academic year for discussion and prayer.
The Interfaith Council is an effort of the Student Life Office to make sure that students from all faith backgrounds feel welcome in the Pepperdine community. Modeled after the SLA program, the Interfaith Council meets weekly throughout the academic year to discuss spiritual life matters at the law school and to get to know one another across religious lines. The Student Life Office selects members of the council by identifying major religious groups that are represented at the law school and approaching an individual student to serve as a representative of her or his faith tradition.

The file is ~135MB and is in .MOV format.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

DIY Experience: installing internal 2TB HDD in THR-22
Posted 17 January 2012 - 06:58 PM
I simply removed the old drive and replaced it with the Seagate 2TB Green dirve - which I bought at a local BestBuy for $160.
Interestingly enough - the original drive was also manufactured by Seagate. It was a bit thinner, but it fit perfecly into the frame.
The drive was automatically formatted as soon as I powered up the box, then the Tivo logo appeared with the sign.. Just a few more minutes.. And then it simply stalled. A couple red button re-boots did not help - the rebooting sequency simply failed for me.
Then I tried the old CE trick (pressed 0-2-4-6-8 on the Peanut remote) - as soon as the first screen appeared after the reboot.
That forced the software download (18A). As soon as the software was successfully updated - the Box rebooted again - this time all the way through to the guided setup.
The entire experience was quite satisfying (in a geeky kind of way).
The entire enterpise cost me $260 ($100 to DirecTV and $160 to BestBuy for the HDD).
Let me know if anybody else was brave enough for this kind of upgrade?

However, if the DVR is owned then it yours to do with as you please.
If you don't want to do sub-models at least do the new equipment...I'm just sayin'
Since it costs 2.4¢ to produce a penny, my 2¢ worth is really 4.8¢ worth. That 4.8¢ is my own and not the 4.8¢ of DIRECTV, Dish, or anyone else for that matter.

Sorry Weaknees - anybody with Torx T15 tool-set and a SATA internal HDD can do it - I guess.
I have not tried the external HDD with the THR22 DirecTivo, but I DID install an external eSATA 1.5 TB HDD with my HR24-100 receiver.
The procedure was quite simple - power off the receiver - connect the HDD using eSATA cable to the back of the receiver - power on the HDD - wait for 30 seconds - power on the receiver - wait for the HDD to be formatted and enjoy the your TV.

If you would try external drive on your THR22 ... that's would add something new to the site.

I haven't actually removed the screws, because that would risk the wrath of the FBI, NSA, etc., but mine looks more like tamper-resistant T10s...

Hello, would just like to know how the poster got the THR22 for only $100? They've always been $199 as far as I know...
Sometimes customers can qualify for special deal "perks". Or perhaps they just got a very friendly support rep.

These work beautifully on my Squier VM Mustang bass. They don't fit original screw holes, however fit perfectly on the head. As previously noted by another reviewer the screws strip easily. Naturally I had filled the old holes and pre-drilled for the new ones. You need a tiny philips head w/ a decent sized handle. I stripped 2 of 16. Use caution or buy better screws before you start. Also, why not include the 2.5mm hex screw? I have 4 sets of hex screws, no 2.5 so this kit will require a trip to the hardware store. W/o that hassle 5 stars.
These seem fine quality-wise. I had no problems installing them. The bushings were a nice press fit in my Mighty Mite Jazz Bass neck. No problems with the screws either. The only difficulty I had was because of my slightly non standard usage of the tuners. My bass is strung BEAD, and the center hole in the B string tuner was slightly too small for the string. A couple minutes work with a drill fixed that. Over-all a good product.
These tuners are excellent. Period. Absolutely great tuners and especially for the price. Solid and heavy, keep great tune. BUT the screws that came with my tuners are of absolute horrendous quality. These are the some of the cheapest and worst quality screws I have ever worked with. Youre now thinking - great this guy cant work screws... That is not the case - Not only do you need a microscopic screwdriver to drive these screws, I have stripped 3 out of 3, driving these little stupid screws in... cheap pot metal! (unlike the tuners themselves) Use better screws than the ones these came with! Other than that, great product! Thanks stew-mac......
Instale este juego de calvijero para un brazo de un fretless, funcionan muy bien y mantienen la afinacion, aparte el aspecto es muy clasico y de buena calidad
These are an excellent, easy on the wallet, replacement bass tuners. They are very smooth when tuning the strings; no binding at all. Would highly recommend these to anyone.
Excellent for the price!
Had replace tuners on a gibson grabber project.
These worked good.
Even though there has been good reviews, I still expected they'd still be a cheap and somewhat low-quality tuner, but they are very nice. I've been using them for a solid month now and my tuning-stabilty has been great. There's been no slop in the gears and I like the adjustable-tension feature. They also look almost identical to the factory Fender tuners I replaced. The only possible way they could be any better is if the mounting holes were to match the Fender-patter.
These are great tuners. A perfect fit for my Sting Ray Musicman bass.
Good quality for a reasonable price.

Hi, I am Chris Baldwin. I am a very simple man with not so simple goals. For instance, I am on a constant quest to save the princess. She has probably been kidnapped (again) and needs saving. Also, I am currently a bear with a bird in my backpack, trying to save my little sister from an evil witch. Some said it was impossible, but I have bested fruit, spike and moon to attain the title "The Guy." I also saved the world from the ancient demon Jashin, thus becoming "The Ninja." I suppose that makes me "The Ninja The Guy." Anyways, I love meeting new people, throwing the Frisbee, playing sand volleyball, staying up late, and, of course, playing videogames. If any of those things interest you, we are sure to be best buds.
No one knows the true origin of the one they call Matt Melton. Born in the highlands of Scotland and raised by Trappist Monks, his lineage can be traced directly to Pythagoras, Socrates, and El-Cid Campeador. His youth found him solving trivial problems with the scientific world, such as finding the last digit of pi (it's 7), turning water into gold, and discovering the Fountain of Youth (Hawaii). After solving these early trifles, he decided to attend Rose-Hulman to solve more difficult issues, such as curing the world of entropy, or determining if the light really shuts off once you close the refrigerator door. Once at Rose, Matt truly hit his stride, becoming a Sophomore Advisor and Resident Assistant while being a four year diver to maintain his manly physique. Word has it, he loves Rose so much, he'll never leave, no matter how hard Rose tries to get rid of him. But no matter. For a special three weeks in Catapault, Matt will join Alisa as your guide on the IM fields, as well as supplying comic relief and sleep deprivation. Be ready. It's gonna be awesome.
Hey kids! My real name is Alisa Dickerson. I am from a place in Kentucky known as Elizabethtown (ever heard of the movie?). This fall, I will be a junior majoring in mechanical engineering. The biggest thing I am known for is once dating 'The most interesting man on Earth', which was fun for a while, but it got old. Other than knowledge workouts, I am always down for getting creative with some arts and crafts, being a handy(wo)man , spending time with nature (I <3 Rain), or just settling in for a good ol' movie. Also, I'm the type that likes to half-heartedly dabble in sports, so if you are looking to raise your own ego and self-confidence, I suggest challenging me to a game of basketball or something. I guess you could say I blackmailed Micah for this job, but that's irrelevant because I can't wait to hang out with all you Monkeys at Catapult. I promise it will be one of the best experiences of your life, even if I am the sole cause.
Hey! My name is Darcie and I'm going to be a graduate student at Rose starting in the fall. I'm from the great white north, aka Michigan, and people always make fun of my accent. I LOVE to sleep and do anything that involves running around outside. I am completely TERRIFIED of anything and everything… especially if it involves some form of fish or frogs! I have a tendency to laugh a lot and I have been known to eat black olives and green beans like it's my job. I can't wait to get to know all of you this summer and I'm ready to have a great time!
Hey y'all!
My name's Alex and I'm from a little town south of Denver known as Castle Rock, Colorado (not quite South Park, but almost as awesome!), where there's none of this humidity nonsense that I've found in Terre Haute. I did Catapult two years ago, and it was (no joke) the best three weeks I had in four years of high school! I can't wait to see y'all have the time of your lives: you won't even want to sleep because we've got so much awesome stuff planned! Of that stuff, my favorites include playing IM sports (even though I'm terrible at most of them), watching movies, going on late night TBRs (Taco Bell runs), and doing other crazy random shenanigans. So, future engineers: get ready to have so much fun your head just might explode (we'll try not to let that happen, but…)!
Hey there! Welcome to the online portal with all the information you'll about the happenings of Catapult 2010 session 1. As the session progresses, we'll have daily updates and lots of pictures. For now, check out your counselors (we're addicted to fun, as you'll see). It's our job to make sure each and every catamonkey has the time of their lives for three weeks while creating an awesome engineering project with some of Rose-Hulman's best professors.

Fiorentina v Atalanta: Preview
Five wins and a draw in the past six games have catapulted Fiorentina into the chase for the Scudetto behind Juventus, Napoli and Inter Milan, but their coach Vincenzo Montella says the best is yet to come.
The Viola host Atalanta tomorrow looking to underline their own European credentials after several years of international anonymity and Montella is still expecting improvements from his side, which won 3-1 at AC Milan last weekend.
``I think this team can continue to improve,'' he said. ``I don't know if that means also in terms of the league position, but we have margin for improvement, I am convinced.''
Fiorentina are widely recognised as the side who currently play the most attractive football in Serie A and comparisons have been made with Spanish giants Barcelona.
``That comparison is not accurate,'' said Montella to Sportitalia.
``It is our idea always to impose ourselves on games and we are trying, but that doesn't mean we will always succeed.
``A lot of the time it depends on the opponents and, in recent games, we have had less of the possession, but got the results.
``As for tomorrow's game, (Stefano) Colantuono has a lot of experience and always has his team playing well and certainly we are up against one of the best sides in the league with important players.''
Atalanta's own form has been admirable in recent weeks with a 3-2 win over Inter Milan last weekend taking them to 13 points from their past five matches.
Nobody in Bergamo is getting carried away like in Florence, though, with the aims for the season unaltered.
``I am more interested in the gap between ourselves and the side third from bottom, not the one third from the top,'' said Colantuono to Sky television.
``We cannot allow ourselves to lose concentration, or else we risk losing.
``Too much has been said about us and we need to work in silence and not get triumphant.''

The Raspberry Pi (short: RPi or RasPi) is an ultra-low-cost credit-card sized Linux computer which was conceived with the primary goal of teaching computer programming to children. It was developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation, which is a UK registered charity (Registration Number 1129409). The foundation exists to promote the study of computer science and related topics, especially at school level, and to put the fun back into learning computing.

If I knew a bit more about Raspberry Pi and the Linux OS, all I'd need to get is the Model II Ras Pi and the 4GB SD Card with Debian Linux. However, I'm barely Linux literate and know nothing of the Raspberry Pi computer. This package has everything I needed to get up and running. It's about $50 worth of hardware (including the SD card) and $33 for the book; assuming that the Debian Linux comes on all 4GB SD cards for the Ras Pi. (If not, it's worth more.) Also, I didn't have to screw around installing a Mac or Win OS--I got Debian Linux, and that's all I need. So I was able to get going quickly. If you know Linux and can crank out CLI code for the Linux OS, you can probably get by using the Raspberry Pi dot Org page (which I used as a helpful supplement). However, for getting what you need for out-of-the-box (adding a keyboard, mouse, and monitor), this is a good package. The first day I had it, I had it humming along nicely once I got the input and output hardware install--all simple USB plug-ins with a VGA monitor. (HDI monitor would be even easier.)
The Raspberry Pi is great, but the red Bud case is a joke. It is hard to get apart without breaking the connecting pins and it is BIG. It also is not specifically designed for the Raspberry Pi - it is very hard to insert the SD card if the case is closed up. The only way to use it is to leave the top off, and it is still hard to insert the SD card. I definitely DO NOT recommend this case. One of the clear cases might be better, but the clear case from Amazon is the best (similar to the ones at MCM, but has access to I/O pins and has light pipes to extend the LEDs to the top of the case).
The supplied power supply is marginal; only 4.7 volts at tp1 and tp2.
You should buy it.The RPi arrived with configured SD card, power supply, plastic case, and an intro book. After adding a USB kybd and mouse, it booted but was erratic. The power supply from MCM is stamped 1000ma, but it was not enough to run the Pi (700ma), kybd (100ma), and mouse(30ma). When the supply winks out, the Power LED lights but the ACT LED flickers and the FDX, LNK and 100 LEDS stay dark. When sufficient power is available (unplug the kybd & mouse) and a network connection is present, the FD, LNK, and 100 LED get active within 2-3 seconds of applying power. MCM should provide a heftier supply.I guess you need a powered USB hub. I had one case where I unplugged power and reconnected, and it sat like it was dead (power light on, all others off). Voltages looked good (5V and 3.3V). Looked up Troubleshooting in the book and by that time, applied power again and it booted OK. So if you have a drop-out, give it 5 minutes and try again. Why? Because it worked.The book is a help in getting started, but most of it is likely in the on-line community. I prefer reading from a book so the cost was worth it to me.The red case is hard to open, and came with detailed prying instructions, so I guess a lot of people broke them. It will do for protection from falling objects and static discharge if you just leave it closed. When you first run it, you get a config screen. Tell it to enable SSH, then you can connect from another computer using PuTTY. This is a text terminal, but it's fine for playing with the Linux command line.Surprising to me, the C compiler was easy to get working. There is no IDE installed but nano is a usable text editor. Use nano to write the source code, save it and exit, then just type "gcc source.c -o source", then "./source" to run your code. I ran a C loop of 1 Billion additions in 23 seconds ( 43 million additions per second). The same code in Python resulted in 0.2 million additions per second - 200 times slower than compiled C.

Do yourselves all a favour and make a trip down to New Zealand and Australia. The courses are all accessible and rate as good as any in the world.
Barnbougle in Tasmania is sensational! My favourite in New Zealand is Kinloch the only Jack Nicklaus Signature course in New Zealand. A terrific risk and reward design. Now isn't this gorgeous - the 2nd at Kinloch.
I deffinatley agree Barnbougle Dunes and Barnbougle lost farm are 2 of the best courses i've ever played

If you get the chance, the Prince course at Princeville in Kauai is an awesome track, my personal favorite course! jimr
Living in the area, I've been fortunate enough to play all of the Pinehurst courses. Everyone raves about # 2 (and it is very nice), but my favorite is # 6. The hardest course I've played was the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island. We played in 35+ winds and it was brutal.... but lots of fun...
I would like to play at baytowne at sandestin and orchard hills.
Top 10 courses I have played based on my rankings not just golf digest or prestige.
1. Lake Nona Golf and Country Club, Orlando, Fl
2. St Andrews Golf Links , Old Course, Scotland
3. Palm Beach Polo , Cypress course, Wellington, Fl
4. Hill AFB Golf Course in Utah. ( hidden gem and best greens on this entire list)
5. Ledgerock CC in PA
6. Torrey PInes South Course, SD, CA
7. Redlands Mesa Golf Club, Grand Junction, CO
8. Islesworth CC, Orlando, FL
9. Air Force Academy Blue Course, Colorado Springs, Co
10. Congressional CC Gold Course, Bethesda, MD ( Tougher than blue course and just as pretty.)
For special occasions:
1. Pinehurst #2, SC
2. Harbor Town, SC
3. The Greenbrier, Old White, WV
Favorite more affordable:
1. Magnolia Grove, Mobile, AL
2. Ross Bridge, Birmingham, AL
3. Cacapon, WV
I've got some bucket list places
Torrey Pines (North/South), Whistling Straits (Irish/Straits) ...been there,
St. Andrew's, Bandon Dunes, Pinehurst #2 (esp.with the renovation), Greenbriar (Old White and Green), and Bethpage (Black and another color) might still happen.
Pebble Beach, Augusta National, and Oakmont are probably out of reach.
When I travel to an area, I like to find the historic/old courses especially if walkable. Places like Great Southern in Gulfport, MS. A Donald Ross design that used to be a tour spot and time has since forgot, and Katrina tried to sweep away. It has retained his small rectangular greens. Had a ton of one putts, and a ton of chips from 30 feet from the pin but off the green. They just got a club house and are improving the grounds as they finally turn around from Katrina. Just gems that may be a little rough. While in Ireland, the big name places needed to be booked weeks in advance, and I ended up at several links courses including courses designed by Harry Varden and Old Tom Morris. Carne Golf Links at the far end of County Mayo was wonderful. Just keep checking under the rocks and you don't have to follow the crowds to find some gems even if lacking polish.
Happy hunting.

text: Hi everyone, I posted High School Homeschooling "workshops" in the Requirements, Curriculum, etc. Forum. They cover classes, grades, credits, transcripts, college, and more. As we go along, I'll remind members when to prepare and register for SATs, apply for scholarships, prepare transcripts for college or post-high school work, etc. But the workshops I posted should be enough to get you started.
