Work detailsThe Spindlers by Lauren Oliver
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Another fabulous book by Lauren Oliver. I cut it down by half a star because the concept with this one is not as original as "Lisel and Po". It's the old baby brother kidnapped by wicked creatures and older sister has to go to a fantasy world to rescue him plot. BUT no one could have done that plot better than Oliver. She's got lots of wonderful and strange original creatures that we meet along the way, and also a lovely friendship story woven in. And the writing is beautiful. Reads like a great MG fantasy. I thought it lacked some characterization and some of the wording was boring compared to the fantastical things that were happening. I never truly felt Liza's love for Patrick. Still, not without merit, beautiful writing. i liked the simplicity of the story. from the very outset Liza comes alive and has a real mission on her hands. from the moment she picks up the broom until she lays down again in bed the story is fast paced. the characters she meets along the way are diverse and quite cute and horrible all in one. i read it in 2 days. and it was worth the time. there are twists and turns and i would read it again and again. This book was one of the best young adult books I've read in a while. I loved the details of the environements, but espeically loved the interaction between Liza and Mirabella the rat. I will be sharing this with my kid and I'm sure she'll love it! Review courtesy of Dark Faerie Tales. Quick & Dirty: Very cute middle-grade fantasy with a fun story, good adventure and interesting characters. Opening Sentence: One night when Liza went to bed, Patrick was her chubby, stubby, candy-grubbing and pancake- loving younger brother, who irritated her and amused her both, and the next morning, when she woke up, he was not. The Review: Liza loves her younger brother Patrick even though most of the time he is a pain. He is her playmate and best friend. One morning they wake up and Patrick is different. He isn't his usual annoying self and right away Liza knows that something is wrong. Before their long time babysitter Anna went off to college she told Liza about the evil Spindlers and how they can steal your soul. She instantly knows this is what happened to Patrick. Liza tries to inform her parents but of course they don't believe her, so it is up to her to try and save Patrick before it is too late, and the Spindlers eat his soul. Liza has to travel to the Below. She sets on her journey and finds a door in her basement that leads to the wondrous Below. She soon befriends a giant fashionable rat named Mirabella who agrees to help guide her to the Spindlers. As they travel through the Below they meet many different and interesting creatures along the way. She has some close encounters, and at times she doubts that she will even make it to the nest to rescue Patrick. With wit and a little luck she finally makes it to the nest, but once there she has to face the evil Spindlers Queen. She only has one shot to save Patrick and herself from staying with the Spindlers forever. I thought that Liza was a cute character. She really loves her little brother even though he can be a pain, and she is willing to risk her life to save him. There were times when she did irritate me a little, but to be honest I think it was just because she was so young. This book is defiantly set for a younger audience and while I don't mind reading these I tend to not connect with the characters quite as much. That being said I think that a younger crowd will love Liza and connect with her much better than I did. Overall, I thought that this book was a fun read. The adventure was really fun, the worldbuilding was fascinating, and it was a really fast read. I have always loved Lauren Oliver's writing and this book is no exception, she really did a wonderful job. Oliver is very descriptive in her writing and I loved the world she created. The plot flowed really well and while it was predictable it was also really fun. I would highly recommend this to anyone that likes MG Fantasy, especially the age group it was written for. I think this book would be a wonderful introduction into the world of reading for younger children. Notable Scene: The nids filed into the stone seats that encircled the court, buzzing and chattering excitedly. Almost as soon as the nids were seated, the mole cried out, "All arise for the Honorable Judge Gobbington IV!" Instantly there was a general shuffling and rustling, and murmurs of excitement, as the nids climbed to their feet. Liza stood along with everybody else. Mirabella was practically white with fear, and Liza's throat was dry and chalky, as though she had inhaled sawdust. She heard a scuffling sound, the noise of slapping footsteps along the dark, dank hall through which the mole had led them, then a dry, rattling cough. Finally the judge stepped into the amphitheater. At least, Liza thought he must be the judge. He certainly looked wise. Although he was probably no taller than she, his head was at least four times the size of hers and incredibly wrinkled, like an enormous, shriveled pea. His face, in contrast, seemed ridiculously small: just a bare twig of a nose, and two squinty eyes, and a pinched mouth floating in the middle of that humongous head. Liza felt the wild urge to laugh, as she did sometimes when she got very nervous, and fought desperately to quell it. Judge Gobbington IV had a large gavel tucked under one arm. He was wearing thick glasses and an elaborate black gown that reached almost all the way to the ground. His bare feet protruded from underneath its hem, however, and Liza saw that they were large and slightly webbed, like a duck's. When he walked, his feet made a wet, slapping sound against the stone.

This is a webpage that has a lot of information about sustainable forestry. It's not a formal organization but a forest owner who manages his timber for sustainable yield. His goal is to remove trees that are either dead or past their prime and promote the growth of healthy trees. He turns low quality logs (bowed, knots, and other defects) into flooring and other products. http://www.timbergreenforestry.com/ -- Hal, Tennessee http://www.first285.com |

We are an all-volunteer grassroots organization that is dedicated to spreading the word about the severe health hazards of the 3 most prevalent but under-recognized air pollutants that contaminate public spaces and neighborhoods nation-wide.
With skyrocketing asthma rates, and with asthma as the number one reason for school absenteeism, we recognize that cities have "accessibility requirements" that require the removal of all barriers to the use of public spaces for people with disabilities, according to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). To persons with asthma and other breathing or cardiac disorders, wood smoke presents an actual physical barrier that prevents increasing number of people, especially those with asthma, from attending public events and using public spaces such as city parks, streets and sidewalks.
These three pollutants are especially hazardous to breathe, because they all contain many of the same toxic, cancer-causing and hormone disrupting chemicals that are in tobacco smoke, including lead, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, benzene, toluene, formaldehyde, and dioxins, to name a few.
They all can infiltrate both private and public spaces, such as parks, streets and sidewalks, depriving others of the basic civil right to breathe clean air, even on their own properties. They are all a source of fine particulates and VOCs (volatile organic compounds). VOCs and fine particles are so miniscule that they escape filters and other containment.
Their toxic chemicals are also "bioaccumulative", meaning that they build up and do not break down in the environment or in our lungs, where they are left to do damage over time in our bodies and to new generations through our water, soil and food chain.
OUR IMMEDIATE INITIATIVE IS TO RESTRICT OR ELIMINATE OUTDOOR RECREATIONAL WOOD BURNING IN MINNEAPOLIS. (And also in other suburbs, which would likely do the same if Minneapolis sets an example.)

Hot answers tagged ordnance-survey
There's the Ordnance Survey OpenData now. You could try the Strategi product. This has urban_region polygons, but they don't have names since they are often several towns now in a conurbation. Combining with the settlmnt_point layer you could use that to get the names.
Here's the polys and points on top of a google maps layer (done using QGIS)
As you can ...
It depends how you define cities.
The strategi dataset contains a cities layer. If you wish to have more detail, and include large towns the Meridian 2 dataset contains an urban area layer that would be a good starting point.
You could also use the Boundary Line Data from the same source that would give you the administrative Boundary associated with ...
Are the TIFs tiled? The OS Vector District raster images I have aren't. To find out using QGIS, load one of the rasters and select Information in the Raster menu. Click OK, and somewhere after the projection and metadata you should see a line something like: Band 1 Block=4000x65 Type=Byte, ColorInterp=Palette
If, as in this case the block size is the width ...
If you simply want to dissolve the edges and are happy with having one large multipolygon feature of all buildings, you can simply use the fTools "Dissolve" tool ("Vector/Geoprocessing/Dissolve").
If you want to keep the attributes (in the case of OS Vector that would only be the ID, which seems to be rather arbitrary), you can split the dissolved vector ...
KML files are always WGS84/lat lon (EPSG:4326). Save the KML file as an EPSG:27700 shapefile instead.
Alternatively, you could download the Ordnance Survey OpenData Boundary-Line dataset, which is already in EPSG:27700. See:
As suggested by other answers, the problem is related with the POINT and MULTIPOINT types. shp2pgsql (and ogrinfo) detects the geometry type as MULTIPOINT, but then, when creating the EWKB representation of the geometry (the value to insert in the_geom column), it seems to be generating a POINT geometry:
select ...
The 'National Grid Shape file' can be downloaded at:
Using this for a OS grid at a specific resolution would take some aggregation based on the TILE field, or by using the SCALE field.
Here, the XSL file is a style sheet language file (XSLT, or eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations) for transforming the XML file into other XML documents or other objects such as HTML, plain text, pdf, etc.

I'm assuming that you are using the Meridian 2 data from the Ordnance Survey and have used that and your data to create the chart below.

Basically as far as I can see you want to automatically remove points that do not fall within the area in question, in this case the county of ...
The SLDs were originally created for our own use in GeoServer which supports several vendor specific options that we use for our OS OnDemand Web Services, so there are some edits that you need to manually make to the SLDs for them to work in QGIS.
The first is that in the SLDs we top and tail each rule with the
Not me but Adrian Walker has
'Using Ordnance Survey OpenData Street View Rasters With GeoServer'
Some good tips there (especially if on linux platform)
Some python code is available at the bottom.
Or are you looking for Vector examples?
Your example grid reference only has 4 digits and thus specifies a location which is 1km square, so plenty of room for a 500m error there.
See Ordnance Survey grid digits for examples of numerical resolution. More digits will give you more accuracy.
I think you'll need to georeference the base image and then capture your vector layers manually drawing over it.
This seems like a similar proccess: http://geo.nls.uk/urbhist/guides_vectorlayerqgis.html but not exactly what you are looking for.
If you're unfamiliar with georeferencing this looks like a good guide as well: ...
For administrative boundaries, GADM is always the best free source:
adm_2 includes the counties and larger town boundaries.
If you need more, have a look at what Ordnance Survey offers as OpenData:

I found this on the Ordnance Survey Blog Map data video from 2004 to 2011.

I don't know why you are getting that error, but I just tried to load your zipped shapefile using the SPIT plugin in QGIS, and it imported just fine. This surprised me as I assumed SPIT was just a gui for shp2pgsql! I am using QGIS 1.6 on windows but it should work just as well on fedora.
Hope this helps
You can add this projection to the projection table postgis uses and then refer to it with the new name (97460 or SR-ORG:7460 in this case):
INSERT into spatial_ref_sys (srid, auth_name, auth_srid, proj4text, srtext) values ( 97460, 'sr-org', 7460, '+proj=tmerc +lat_0=49 +lon_0=-2 +k=0.9996012717 +x_0=400000 +y_0=-100000 +ellps=airy +datum=OSGB36 +units=m ...
Ah, I've done some of this. Probably the best way of georeferencing old Ordnance Survey 6" maps is to use OS Grid coordinates (not grid references and definitely not lat/lon). If your map images are true, undistorted scans you might, with luck, be able to do this using just two points.
What I normally do is find two features on the map that still exist ...
GIS file formats contain georeferencing information. This ties image pixel coordinates to grid references in a projection system, in this case British National Grid.
There are lots of ways this information can be stored depending on image format. A basic tool to get you started is gdalinfo which will query the extents of the image in British National ...
These can be found here. These were found via the wonderful ShareGeo website: http://edina.ac.uk/projects/sharegeo/content.html
Edit - they can be quite slow to load - but do cover the entirety of Great Britain. No coverage for Northern Ireland unfortunately:
You can find the geo referencing files on our website for each of the raster products
Download TFW Here
Download the correct zip file and unzip it into the same directory of your .tif files
Any GIS will then work with the raster files
IGN France has a good equivalent the Ordnance Survey MasterMap formally AddressPoint now Address Layer 2 database.
based from many years of working very closely with OS addressing, it
is in conjunction with Royal Mail (privatised in October 2013).
Accuracy, it is ...
After calculating areas of the 1km grid shapefile rectangles, I can confirm that the single cells are not precisely 1km². The error is small, though. If your errors are larger, it is possible that your problem is related to a different issue (possible reprojection errors).
Small errors in the source dataset
Most of the calculated areas are less than 10m² ...
OS has started an open source effort called OS OpenData which provides a number of 'open' datasets.
The lack of publicly available UK data was part of the impetus for OpenStreetMap (OSM). Cloudmade has some easy-to-use extracted data, and other download options via Planet.osm.
In the future you should be able to use the LLPG (local Land and Property Gazetteer), which would return a British National Grid coordinate. This can be easily converted to Lat/Long and I would argue it is probably more up to date than the OS AddressPoint data, given that it is updated by the councils who create the address and updated daily in most cases. ...
The most accurate way to do this is to use the Ordnance Survey AddressPoint dataset. Their price list seems to suggest that for use on just one terminal costs around £16,000.
However, if you are willing to sacrifice some accuracy you can do this for free at http://www.nearby.org.uk/coord.cgi using the postcode part of the address. They also have an API ...
One alternative may be to populate the attributes yourself?
Provided that your generated grids are polygons rather than lines, you could use Easting and Northing figures to populate a field for each object.
There will obviously be some conversion of the numeric grid references to the OS Grid Ref, however there are plenty of example scripts out there to ...
A suggestion:
install postGIS and create a database
write and execute a script to import all your data using the shp2pgsql command
display your data in your favorite desktop GIS (like Quantum GIS, see page 40 of this document)
Actualy it's quite easy can be done with batch files and ogr2ogr or shp2pgsql
I have created some batch files that will loop and using ogr2ogr or shp2pgsql convert and merge the files.
Below are the shp2pgsql examples, this is just part of batch file 1, the section reports for the diferent feature types and in total took about 12 hours to run.
Batch file ...
As a first step, if you want to merge multiple shapefiles into a single shapefile (to ease loading in whatever viewer you choose), you can use OGR utilities to merge shapefiles within a directory or multiple directories. If you're interested in experimenting with GeoScript, you can also do the same thing in JavaScript (or Python, Groovy, or Scala).

I certainly didn't say anything in those terms
Er, yes, you did. You explicitly used the attribute "display" -- as in, "inline" vs. "none" -- in several posts. And throughout this thread you've talked about showing and not showing an image. Only later did it turn out that you need the image to be there all along, occupying space, whether blacked-out or not.
What do I replace that with.
Nothing. But it does absolutely no harm to retain the phrase. HTML 4 was open to the possibility that a style could be some type other than "text/css", hence the "type=et cetera" element, though even there CSS (a specific language) would be the default. HTML 5 assumes styles are CSS, so all that's needed is <style>.
Since the code we're talking about is not written in HTML 5 (as witnessed by tags such as <nobr> and <font>) it makes no difference one way or the other.
That's because all of the 'map' portion of the page will eventually be placed inside of a table.

Seven students will complete the capstone of their McPherson College education at the Science Research Symposium on Friday, April 18 at 2 p.m. in Melhorn Hall, room 112.
Adan Ghaffarian, Irving, Texas; Alan Grosbach, Gladstone, Mo.; Joel Grosbach, Enders, Neb.; Jessica Miller, St. John, Kan.; Andrew Paull, Kanopolis, Kan.; Brett Whitenack, McPherson, Kan.; and April Woody, Tescott, Kan., each will present their senior research projects to the public at the symposium. All seven students will graduate in May with a degree in the sciences. Landon Snell, Wasco, Calif., is also a science graduate who completed and presented his project, �Isolation and Identification of Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria from the Intestinal Flora of Feedlot Cattle and a Measure of Their Efficacy for Lateral Gene Transfer� in December.
�This year's eight senior science majors have explored interests in an unusually wide variety of topics, including both basic and applied research,� said Dr. Jonathan Frye, associate professor of natural science. �Their projects range from developing techniques for meteorite preservation to developing techniques for increasing agricultural production; from studying the process of aerobic methanogenesis in tropical plants to studying aerobic exercise in humans.�
Two students, Alan Grosbach and Joel Grosbach will graduate with agriculture degrees.
Alan Grosbach�s project is directly connected to an internship he completed over the summer. Titled �The Effect of a Nutritional Supplement on Stillbirths in Swine,� his project has �shown the knowledge of a biological system and more specifically the animal science/nutrition that I have been taught,� he said.
Joel Grosbach will present �The Effect of Row Spacing on the Yield and Plant Growth of Popcorn.� Joel�s degree focus is in agriculture management.
The remaining five presenters are all biology majors.
Ghaffarian�s project, titled �Aerobic Methane Emissions of Tropical Plants,� is a follow-up of an �07 alum�s project. Throughout the process of completing his work, Ghaffarian has learned several research techniques.
Miller chose her topic, �The Dispersion of Tamarix ramosissima on the Quivira National Wildlife Refuge,� because �Tamarix ramosissima is an invasive plant, and invasive species and how they affect native environmental dynamics, as well as their spread are really interesting to me,� she said. Miller also said that her project has emulated values that she has gained from her MC education�patience and diligence.
�The Effect of Atmospheric Contact on the Rate of Acetylene Breakdown in Axotobacter Chroococcum,� will be the focus of Paull�s presentation. Paull said his project �involves all of the sciences that I have studied over the past four years and takes that knowledge and applies it to a real world situation.�
Whitenack chose his project, in part, to �pay homage� to MC alumni and former professor, H.H. Nininger. Working at the McPherson Museum as a curator, Whitenack has had the opportunity to curate a collection of meteorites collected by Nininger. His project, �The Use of Electrolytic Reduction for the Removal of Chlorides from Iron Meteorites,� interested Whitenack as a curator and, he said, �Can be applied to my line of work by preserving meteorites for museums and the collector as well.�
Woody chose her project, �The Effects of Yoga Conditioning for Athletes on Cardiorespiratory Endurance,� to demonstrate her strong interest in athletic performance and the human body. �Aside from the results that I found, I've learned that there are a lot of untested areas in the field of exercise physiology,� Woody said. �I think this project showcases my overall education at MC because I used my science background along with statistical, physical education, and writing skills.�
Presenters and their scheduled times are as follows:
Adan Ghaffarian � 2:15
Alan Grosbach � 2:30
Joel Grosbach � 2:45
Jessica Miller � 3:15
Andrew Paull � 3:30
Brett Whitenack � 3:45
April Woody � 4:00

Labor Day weekend in Northern Michigan is only days away, and many of us will engage in traditional Labor Day activities—getting out on the water, barbecuing, and waiting in traffic.
I was never really keen on board games as a kid. It wasn't as though I disliked them or anything. I actually thought they were fairly fun. The problem was that I really didn't have many people to play them with. My brother was kind of young for anything I wanted to play, and my sister had a habit of punching me and storming off anytime I started winning in a game. So yes, even though I had some games, and had some fun trying to play them by myself… for the most part, they sat on the shelf getting dusty.

Not a ton of new article out there, so I've included some fun stuff related to the draft. Enjoy.
- Brian Levinson of Big Cat Country shares his thoughts on "safe picks"
- Sports Science checks out Colin Kapernick, Ryan Mallett, and Christian Ponder.
- Andy Dalton on Jon Gruden's QB Camp. Chuckie is the man.
- Big Cat Country's updated table of which draftees the Jags have shown interest in.
- Paul Kurharsky says that CB's, RB's, and WR's taken in the last three round are statistically some of the least likely positions to help your team, but they keep being overdrafted. Who can help and who the Jags should target here.

Blobel, Bernd (2000) The European TrustHealth Project experiences with implementing a security infrastructure. International Journal of Medical Informatics 60 (2), pp. 193-201.
Full text not available from this repository.
Accepting the shared care paradigm, communication and co-operation required between health care establishments must be provided in a trustworthy way. The solution for establishing such trustworthy environment has to be based on a common policy framework, on services, and mechanisms, which have been standardised. In Europe, the legal framework, other policy issues, and the services and mechanisms needed have been developed within projects launched by the European Commission, by the European standards body CEN as well as by temporarily established groups. Within the European TrustHealth projects, a security infrastructure for trustworthy health telematics applications has been specified, implemented, and evaluated. It is based on Health Professional Cards and Trusted Third Party services. Experiences regarding organisational and technological implications of the specification, implementation, maintenance, and evaluation of such a security infrastructure are described on the basis of the ONOCONET example. For the complete software lifecycle, the UML methodology has been deployed.

How to Hire an Electrical Contractor
Perhaps you want to add
outdoor lighting
for your patio or entryway. Or maybe you want to brighten up your home decor with a
ceiling fan
or a
wall sconce
. Whatever the task, do-it-yourself home rewiring electrical projects can be intimidating. A small mistake can have disastrous results. Be sure to follow the electrical safety tips at the end of this article.
Often the best option will be to contract with a licensed electrician. Start your search by asking friends, neighbors and coworkers for references for electrical contractors. Often they've been through the process and have some good pointers on starting a home rewiring project.
Whether Large or Small, Plan Your Home Rewiring Project
Save time and money by combining electrical projects. Think of extra outlets, lighting or computer wiring that you may want for the near future. Make a list of your specific needs. Draw a diagram, or lightly mark your walls or ceiling using a pencil.
1. Set a Budget
Know how much you want to spend for your total project, including parts and labor. You may need to wait for estimates before you can complete your budget. It's a good idea to always be prepared to go over your budget by up to 20 percent.
2. Pre-Screen Potential Electrical Contractors
Call the electrician and get some background information before scheduling an estimate. Write notes on everything that you find out. Ask questions such as:
How long has the company been in business?
Is there a permanent business address and telephone number?
Is the electrician bonded and insured?
Is the electrician licensed and certified?
Can the electrician give at least three references?
Is the work guaranteed in writing?
Is the contractor a member of the Better Business Bureau?
3. Check the Contractors' References
Contractors will usually give references, but many people will not check them. It's important to contact the references and add this information to your notes. Here are some questions that you may wish to ask:
How was the quality of the work?
Was the estimate accurate?
Was the work performed as scheduled?
How would you describe the contractor's work ethics?
Would you use the electrician again?
Check with the Better Business Bureau for the contractor's reliability report. Keep in mind that members are pre-screened, properly licensed and free from a pattern of complaints.
4. Schedule Estimates
If you received positive feedback from your initial contact and references, schedule to meet with the contractor. This is your time to gather critical information and see if the contractor seems ethical. If the estimate is not free, be aware of any costs.
Schedule at least three estimates. Since costs for labor and materials may fluctuate throughout the year, get all of your estimates within a short span of time.
5. Meet with the Electrician
Ask the contractor to bring proof of bonding and insurance. You want to be sure that you aren't responsible for any on-the-job injuries or damage to your home. Also ask to see proof of licenses and certifications. Find out if the person giving the estimate will perform the work. If not, ask for the qualifications of the crew or subcontractor. Take written notes.
Get the estimate in writing. It should include costs for materials, labor and permits. Make sure that all the work you want done is included. Also see that it includes a tentative time frame. Find out who is responsible for any repairs such as holes cut into the wall.
Beware of high-pressure sales tactics! Some contractors may offer a discount if you sign the contract on the day of the estimate. A fair estimate should be good for more than one day, so do not sign a contract on the same day as your estimate.
If the contractor recommends additional work, get opinions and estimates from at least two other electricians.
6. Compare Your Estimates
The lowest bid is not always the best value. There are other considerations. The materials used should be of good quality. The contractor should be honest and prompt. Thoroughly evaluate your notes before accepting a bid.
7. The Contract for Your Home Project
Read the contract thoroughly. For this type of work, never count on a handshake or verbal agreement. The contract should contain the following requirements:
Material list - all purchased by contractor.
Labor costs.
Exact description of work.
Assurance that building permits will be obtained (contractor's obligation).
Start and completion dates.
Payment terms (some states set limits on down payments).
Electrical Safety Tips
Have a qualified electrician periodically check your home. Faulty wiring and improper use of electrical appliances can cause fires. Use the following home safety tips to keep you and your family safe from electrical fires:
Replace frayed, cracked or cut power cords immediately.
If a switch or outlet is hot or discolored by heat buildup, immediately shut off the circuit.
Only use extension cords as a temporary measure.
Turn appliances off before plugging them in.
Keep electrical appliances away from wet areas.
Keep heaters and halogen lamps away from draperies, clothing or other combustible materials.
Remove lint from clothes dryers.
Do not place power cords under rugs, carpets or furniture.
Do not overload outlets.
Replace any item that causes electrical shocks, overheats, shorts out or produces smoke or sparks.
Use only three-slot outlets for appliances with three-prong plugs.
Don't allow children to play around electrical appliances.
Use safety closures to help child-proof outlets.
Buy products which meet the Underwriter's Laboratory (UL) standard for safety.
Have a working smoke alarm.

Thread: Boldin News (Merged)
You have to pick in the top of the draft to have a shot at a Calvin Johnson.
However, that isnt really the point. There are guys all over the draft board that wind up being good pro receivers, but the Ravens have drafted guys like Devard Darling, Demetrius Williams, Marcus Smith, Yamon Figurs, etc.
WR - IMO - is arguably the hardest position to scout for because it is the easiest position for collegiate players with outstanding athleticism to look like all-pros.
It isnt like Ozzie has completely avoided drafting them either. For whatever reason, the Ravens have just not had much luck with drafting and developing their own receivers. Thus why the Derrick Masons and Anquan Boldins were necessary. The problem with going after other team's successful receivers is that it can be expensive. I mean, they are talking about Mike Wallace possibly getting a contract similar to Vincent Jackson!
Hopefully Flacco and Caldwell will improve the development of younger receivers.

Re: Boldin News (Merged)
I know you and Ex seem to be sure he's coming to Bmore, but he isn't man. If Kendall Wright went 20th overall last season, I'm pretty sure Tavon Austin (who IMO is a better prospect than Wright was last year) can match that or even go higher.
Look for the likes of DeAndre Hopkins at 32 if we end up cutting Boldin.

Kill two birds with one shirt
January 14, 2014
I bought this for a very specific use. It's my motorcycle baselayer for cooler temps. For that it seems to work wonderfully. Normally I would wear a base layer and if it's cold I would add something to break the wind. Now on a motorcycle this is only needed on the chest area, a 360 degree windproof garment only makes you sweat when it's underneath two other layers. The windproof barrier has a 1cfm rating, which for all intents and purposes is windproof. Sure, it's not 0cfm like gore windstopper but it's more than enough. It would work on a bicycle as the only barrier, so on a motorcycle at 75mph with a motorcycle jacket over it it works wonders. The merino wool itches the first time you wear, just bear it, it will go away after a while or after a wash. The collar does itch my neck, but on a bike I am constantly turning my head past my shoulders to check for traffic, this would not affect the vast majority of wearers. I'd love it if they made a crew neck version of this or if they offered the windproof layer on a heavier base layer. Merino wool is thin and delicate, it most likely would not last on a thru hike of the Appalachian trail but few garments will. Take care of it and it should last you a very long time. I personally do not like the "sporty or outdoorsy" color combinations, I prefer my garments in neutral or normal colors so that I can wear them out to dinner as well as during my adventures. I wish they made one in all black, but that's just being picky I guess. Cost is high, but I got it on sale for half off, even then it was a bit high but merino wool just isn't cheap. Fit is halfway between compression and loose. If your specific need can use this combination then this would be a great base or secondary layer.

Part Number 9743413 (AP2920872) replaces 4171117, 747527, 9740811, AH402320, EA402320, PS402320.
Mark for Model Number KUDS24SEBLO
Answer Hi. If the Float part # 9743070 itself has crud build up in the tub hole (normal) this stops the float stem from lifting up and down smoothly. Remove the lower rack and lift the float out of the tub to check for this and crud under the float top. Remove the bottom panel and look at the float switch cover. If it is not latched closed then this allows the float stem to be misplaced and off to one side. This will bend the float switch lever to be activated all the time. It is best to replace the float switch itself part # 9743413. Thank You.

Ralph M V. for Model Number KUDM24SEBL5
Answer Ralph, Did you also check the float stem W10207863 and float shaft 9743070 for a build up of debris , causing the flaot to "stick" ? If alls OK, you may want to consider a fill valve 9744468, you may have an issue with the solenoud or diaphram, allowing a slow reaction and allowing an intermittent overfill. Thanks

Lots of good numbers
The Reds are on quite a roll. Best record in the entire league since April 19. Went 6-1 on this homestand against two teams we've struggled with historically. We're 8-1-3 over our last 12 series. And we're just now starting to hit the ball. Good times!

Well guys we are in Madrid and were due to leave tomorrow to Chicago via Newark. However both flights were can cancelled d/t the Hurricane. Got an email from UA confirming our flight from Newark to Chicago rescheduled for the 31st but no news yet as for getting to Newark from Madrid. Been on hold forever with UA from a local call but no answer. I've emails too and no answer either. What to do?
What will UA do? Can't get thru to them

Maybe Lufthansa can help? The only MAD-ORD options for tomorrow in economy at the united website involve LH for MAD to Frankfurt, overnight in Frankfurt, and then United to ORD on the 30th.
Report Abuse
Tried that. This was not available. I assume they have to get me home but how and when? If they have me in EWR I suppose they must find a way to get there but no communication makes it rough. On top of that my iPhone hasn't worked so I got a cheapo here to call home but 3 hrs. later it's still not activated! Yeesh.

Wait time will be greater than 30 minutes which I don't have. Going to the airport seems your best option.
A few years ago, I had an award ticket issued by United and flying on Thai. Lufthansa operated a Star Alliance desk at the Bangkok airport and they were very willing and able to make a change to the ticket. -

Thanks so much for trying. Now they want us to go on Nov. 4 which is 5 days late. Just can't do that. Guess I'll have to go to the airport.
Report Abuse
I realize it's no consolation, but with 5,000+ flights now cancelled, you're certainly not alone in this predicament. When a weather event like this happens, it often takes several days for airlines to re-establish normal flight schedules. Grounded planes need to be moved into position and as many as 50,000-100,000 passengers need to be accommodated, many on flights which are already booked near capacity.
I've been caught in situations like this several times over the years, including being stranded in France when all flights into US airspace were grounded for days following the 9/11 attacks in 2001. The best I can tell you is to take a deep breath and try to accept that sometimes things are just out of your control. I hope you will find someone who can help you get on an earlier flight when you get to the airport. Best wishes for your travels back to Chicago. -
Report Abuse
Thank you. I realize that. The frustration is that you just can't get thru to speak to someone at UA. Endless wait times. Then we buy a cheapo phone to call home as my iPhone doesn't work here, and that's a mystery and the SIM still isn't activated nearly 16 hrs. later soi I still can't call home. Well we bit the bullet and bought new tickets on Lufthansa for tomorrow. We just can't wait till the 4th.
Best wishes and prayers to those on the east coast. -

UA does have a Madrid number. Of course, how helpful they can be, or whether you can get though is another matter.

Meant to add that they will open 9am Monday. Which is just a few hours from now. May be better than going to the airport with many many passengers crowding a few agents.

BTW, you SHOULD at least have the Nov 4 flight confirmed first, then try to change to earlier dates or options. That way, at least you know you can come back on Nov 4.

Thanks for the advice. We decided to bite the bullet and rebook. We got Lufthansa and leave tomorrow. We connect MUC-LHR-ORD and arrive the same day. When you figure the extra cost vs. the cost of staying till the 4th we are out about $700.00 but hopefully will be home 5 days sooner. We both have to be at work on the 5th and besides just really want to get home. Again thanks for the numbers. I appreciate the effort. The # I have been calling with perpetual hold was 900 813 996.

BTW we decided to book on our own after seeing the news yesterday and noting so many cancellations. Glad I did as now the prices are a lot more.

$700 well spent. Also reminds why some travel insurance can be helpful. In cases like this.

I have it and called them. Will start a claim process when I get home. Hopefully I can get some $ back.

Do you mean the extra cost minus the cost of staying equals about $700? Or is the $700 a fare difference or change fee or both?
Report Abuse
The first one. The tickets were about $2300.00 so figure conservatively an extra $1600.00 for extra hotel and food, entertainment and so on.

BTW thanks agin for the help. It's been hard here and it's tough making decisions based on ones best guess but that is what w found ourselves having to do.
I have seen pic of the storm and my God my prayers are with those folks. They are in harms way. Best of luck to all of them. -

I'm glad you have tickets home. I expect it will take a week or more to clear the backlog - and that is if the airports on the East Coast can open in the next couple of days. Sandy is worse than Irene.

Since you are in the EU their rules prevail and UA must provide you with accommodation and meal allowance during the delay; it is termed "duty to care" I believe. They will no doubt try to say they are not responsible because it is weather related, but that is not true. I learned this when stranded by he Icelandic volcano ash cloud.
Report Abuse
It will be a while but when I know more I'll post it here. Thanks again for the help. It was pretty hard being there with no communication from UA but of course the real issues are with those so affected directly by this terrible storm.
Report Abuse
Well I have sme news. UA will refund about half our fare or basically the return we did not use. That is in the works and the extra money for upgrading to Econ plus has already been returned.
Report Abuse
Seamus, do you have a link to the information about "duty to care"? I had two nights' hotel and meals due to my flights being canceled (leaving from Rome). Thanks.
Report Abuse
You did get a good price on that return ticket. The net cost of your return will be about the same as what you originally paid. Will you get any benefit from your travel insurance?
Report Abuse
We'll see. I spoke with them and have claim forms coming. Thanks again for your help and I'll keep you posted.
Report Abuse
Well UA has returned the full original fare, not a partial one as they first said they would. I don't know why but sure am not complaining.
Report Abuse
Update. The insurance declined the extra night in the hotel BUT covered the entire expense for the additional airfare. Good news!
