ZIP Codes - Key Concepts
- ZIP Codes are categories for grouping mailing addresses and are not exact geographic regions.
- The centroid of a ZIP Code may be in one County and the associated city/town in another.
- In rural areas, a single ZIP Code may be used for cities and towns in several different Counties.
- ZIP Code "areas" can overlap, be subsets of each other, or be artificial constructs with no geographic area.
- ZIP Codes are only loosely tied to cities.
1 Keeping the above key concepts in mind, what we informally refer to as the "center" of a ZIP Code is most often actually the centroid of a polygon.

An elegant variation on "Zion," this name invokes tradition, spirituality and even masculinity. Incidentally, Sion is also the name of a Czech castle, cementing the name's monolithic stature. Though not currently popular, this is certainly a unique name for a special boy.

Does the uncovered interest parity hold in short horizons?
AbstractIn this article, one of the contemporaneous monetary theories of exchange rate determination, namely uncovered interest parity (UIP), is examined. The UIP hypothesis assumes that if capital is perfectly mobile, then investors around the world will be indifferent between holding their portfolios in domestic or foreign securities because they obtain the same return from these assets. Based on a theoretical formulation, our ex post estimation results employing four developed countries exchange rates vis-a-vis US dollar indicate the failure of the UIP hypothesis using short-horizon interest differential and future spot exchange rate data in line with most empirical papers in the economics literature.

TEAMS: Boston Red Sox, Houston Astros
8 a.m. ET: The Red Sox responded to a good old-fashioned beatdown by bouncing back and grinding out a 6-5 win over the Athletics on Wednesday. Now, the Sox' focus turns to the Astros, who arrive at Fenway Park on Thursday for the start of a four-game set. Houston, in its first year in the American League West, figures to have a difficult season ahead. The Astros are a very young team, and there are bound to be some growing pains before they're able to morph into a competitive squad. That doesn't mean the Red Sox should take them lightly, though, especially since Boston lost three of four before Wednesday's win. Clay Buchholz will get the start against Philip Humber. Humber, of course, threw a perfect game last season, but he's hardly been the same pitcher this year. He enters Thursday's game with an 0-4 record and a 6.63 ERA. Buchholz is looking to move to 5-0, as he's been lights-out thus far. His first step toward doing so will be his first pitch, which is scheduled for 6:35 p.m. ...

Royals salvage series finale with 5-2 victory against TigersTodd Palmer, The Kansas City Star
It took 33 2/3 innings and nearly 12 hours of baseball, but the Royals finally managed to take a lead Sunday during the final game of a four-game series with the Tigers.
The Royals had returned to Kansas City on Thursday with designs on putting a dent in the Tigers' 4 1/2-game lead in the AL Central.
Instead, the Tigers grabbed a three-run lead before the Royals took a turn at-bat in the series opener and overmatched Ned Yost's run-starved club until the seventh inning of the series finale.
That's when the Royals' scuffling offense was resuscitated long enough to muster a five-run frame en route to a 5-2 victory that salvaged the final game of the series and the final before the All-Star break.
Really, the offense slowly woke up from a three-game hibernation more than it surged to life.
Still, it was enough to snap a three-game skid, keep the club above .500 and pull the Royals (48-46) within 6 1/2 games of the Tigers (53-38) at the season's unofficial midpoint.
Through six innings, Justin Verlander had the Tigers on course for a sweep.
The Royals had gifted the Tigers a 2-0 lead in the third inning and mustered only two hits -- Brett Hayes' two-out double in the third and Jarrod Dyson's two-out infield single in the fifth.
The tide finally turned in the seventh when singles by Billy Butler, Mike Moustakas, Raul Ibanez, who snapped an 0-for-25 stretch with a line drive to center, loaded the bases before Alcides Escobar broke up the shutout with an infield single past the mound.
Dyson knotted the game with an RBI groundout to second, which chased Verlander.
The Tigers' beleaguered bullpen couldn't staunch the bleeding.
Two batters after Salvador Perez, who pinch hit for Hayes, was intentionally walked, Omar Infante slashed a two-run single to left.
Eric Hosmer, who extended his hitting streak to a career-best 13 games, pushed the lead to 5-2 with a ground-rule double to center and that was more than enough for Wade Davis and All-Star closer Greg Holland.
The Royals best two relievers each turned in a perfect inning, polishing off a victory that sent the crowd of 23,424 home in jovial spirits.
Starting in place of Jason Vargas, who underwent an emergency appendectomy Wednesday in Tampa, veteran lefty Bruce Chen turned in a sterling start.
He allowed only two runs on eight hits with two strikeouts and no walks in 5 1/3 innings, but he left with the Royals trailing 2-0.
Making his first career relief appearance, Yordano Ventura backed up Chen with 1 2/3 scoreless innings.
Ventura (7-7) picked up the victory, allowing only one hit with three strikeouts. Holland earned his 25th save.

U.S.S. Enterprise leaves for final deployment
Wednesday - 3/14/2012, 1:37pm EDT
It's the end of an era for U.S. Navy carriers. The U.S.S. Enterprise was on hand for the Soviet blockade during the Cuban missile crisis. She flew thousands of sorties during the Vietnam War. And the Navy's largest carrier was one of the first on scene during Operation Enduring Freedom.
This week, the Enterprise left Norfolk, Va., for her final deployment.
Rear Adm. Ted Carter, commander of the Enterprise Carrier Strike Group, spoke with Federal News Radio's Jared Serbu from the Atlantic Ocean as the carrier heads off for one last set of missions in Europe and the Middle East.

Rolling Thunder
It's an armada of motorcycles, thousands of them, the mufflers removed from every one, it seems, so a low steady cyclical growl floats over the whole city -- and from the horizon, for the bikers are across the river as well, in the neighborhood close to Arlington National Cemetery, which is the magnet pulling all this metal to Washington, D.C. each year during Memorial Day weekend. It's called Rolling Thunder (which was also, not so coincidentally, the name of a bombing campaign during the Vietnam war).
The usual tourists wander around, of course, taking the usual pictures of the usual monuments. But more awe-inspiring is the temporary installation of artwork on the streets downtown. There are long rows of parked motorbikes, customized to the point of mutation, parked at angles that seem like a temptation to gravity and the domino effect. The place is full of sweaty, beer-swilling, heavily tattooed bikers. And you should see their husbands.

A few years ago, I reviewed the official Harley-Davidson company history -- naturally, it was a coffee table book with an immense number of fetishistic photos. I noted that the official Ford Motor Company history, another coffee table book, did at least contain one shot of the Pinto with a caption acknowledging the little clunker's publicity problems but claiming its fireball dangers had been greatly exaggerated by the press.
The HD history, on the other hand, was a peculiar hymnal in that the "American bad boy" image is, of course, precisely what has sold the pig iron over the years, and it's why what my wife terms the "Hell's Accountants" -- the well-trimmed greybeards at the diner down the street whose hawgs probably cost more than our house and who occasionally whip down our street, endangering the children and pets -- it's precisely why they've recently taken up riding these gleaming farters. But that same "Wild One" image is what the company wants to play down because, obviously, it doesn't reflect the great many middle-aged, "recreational" outlaw/customers.
So I noted that among the book's more than 100 photos of Harleys and their "ride free" riders, only one biker was even smoking a cigarette.

Using a pestle or cocktail muddler, lightly bruise the rosemary needles. In a small saucepan, combine the rosemary with the honey and water and warm over moderately low heat for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand for 30 minutes. Transfer the rosemary-infused honey to a serving bowl or small pitcher.
Meanwhile, using a sharp knife, peel the oranges, removing all of the bitter white pith. Cut the oranges crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices and arrange them on platters. Season the oranges lightly with salt and drizzle with some of the infused honey. Serve with additional honey alongside.

General Questions
Is the GRE required for admission?
The GRE is not required; however, you are welcome to send your scores if you have taken the test. The GRE code for OSU is 4586.
Am I able to apply to the MFA program in two separate genres?
Yes, however, applicants are only accepted in one genre. Applicants wishing to apply to both the MFA in Poetry and the MFA in Nonfiction, for example, should submit separate applications to the Graduate School, including separate writing samples and statements of objectives. If you are submitting one application, please send only the writing sample that reflects your genre of choice.
What qualifications do I need for admission?
The writing sample is the most important part of the application. Beyond the writing sample, admission to OSU's Creative Writing Program is also based on three letters of recommendation, the student's personal statement of objectives, and college transcripts. Applicants must have a four year baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited college or university, and a combined GPA of at least 3.00 on the last 90 quarter (60 semester) credit hours of graded undergraduate work toward the first baccalaureate degree plus all work completed thereafter.
Can I apply to the MAIS (Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies) with Creative Writing as one of my three fields?
No. Graduate study in Creative Writing is only available through the MFA Program.
Can I upload my writing sample with my online application?
Yes. The writing sample, statement of objectives, resume, and recommendation letters may be submitted online. This is the preferred method. Alternatively, you may send these materials via the postal service to the following address:
School of Writing, Literature, and Film, Oregon State University, 238 Moreland Hall, Corvallis, OR 97331
What application materials are required?
Please visit the Graduate Admissions page on our website for a list of application materials and guidelines: http://oregonstate.edu/cla/english/admissions-graduate-program.
How do I apply?
To apply for a graduate degree at Oregon State University, simply use the online portal. You will be able to save your application and continue at your convenience.
What is the application deadline and fee?
The application deadline for the 2014-2015 school year is January 8, 2014. The fee is $60.
Are there application fee waivers?
The Graduate School does not offer application fee waivers.
What is the most important part of my application?
The writing sample plays the biggest role in the selection process.
How many pages of poetry/prose need to be submitted?
The poetry sample should consist of no more than 10 to 12 poems. The prose sample (fiction or creative nonfiction) should be between 15-20 pages in length.
What are the requirements for letters of recommendation?
Three letters of recommendation should written by individuals who can discuss an applicant's creative writing in detail, as well as academic interests and aims; letters for teaching assistant applicants should include discussion of teaching potential.
Will you accept application materials past the deadline?
We will accept late recommendation letters, as long as this information gets to us within about a week of the deadline. Please encourage your recommenders to send their letters on time.
Does the MFA program offer spring admission?
There are no spring admissions to the graduate MFA program.
If I am not offered admission and I reapply the following year, will my application materials still be on file?
To be absolutely certain that your materials reach us, we recommend that you complete a new application and re-submit relevant material, including letters of recommendation, writing sample, personal statement of objectives, and transcripts.
I wasn't an English major. Can I still apply?
Absolutely. Our MFA students come from a wide variety of academic backgrounds.
How many students are admitted each year?
The MFA Program received over 370 applications in 2012 for our six seats in Fiction, four seats in Creative Nonfiction and four seats in Poetry.
What is your acceptance rate?
Our acceptance rate is under 4%.
Is Oregon State University a signatory to the Council of Graduate Schools Resolution Regarding Graduate Scholars, Fellows, Trainees and Assistants?
Program Details
Creative writing at OSU is a 2-year, 60-credit program. OSU runs on the quarter system. Most quarters, a student takes a 4-credit workshop in their genre (poetry, prose, or nonfiction), a 4-credit literature or craft course, and 4 credit hours of thesis advising and/or teaching-practicum credits, for a total of 12 credits each quarter. Click here for more.
What is the teacher/student ratio?
The teacher student ratio is approximately 1:3. Professors are devoted to students' work and accessible for out of class attention and guidance.
Is there a reading series?
Our MFA program features three reading series. The Visiting Writers Series brings 4-5 nationally known writers and poets to campus each year. With each visiting writer, colloquiums, craft talks, and other related events are scheduled specifically for the MFA students.
Our Literary Northwest Series celebrates the burgeoning literary scene in the Willamette Valley and the Northwest.
Our program also hosts a monthly reading by our MFA students.
Can I teach?
All our MFA students are fully funded through Graduate Teaching Assistantships. In addition to teaching courses in composition, our MFA students have the opportunity to teach creative writing during their second year.
What is the size of the program?
We typically admit 3-4 poets, 6 fiction writers, and 3-4 nonfiction writers a year, for a total of 24 - 28 students at any given time.
What is the demographic of your students?
Our graduate students come to us from top-ranked universities all over the country, from a wide variety of academic majors and post-collegiate careers. We have accepted students of all ages and backgrounds. We welcome diversity, and seek to attract a diverse graduate cohort by actively recruiting, as well as offering Diversity Recruitment Bonus scholarships.
Do you teach creative nonfiction writing?
Yes. We offer grad-only creative nonfiction workshops and magazine writing courses.
Do you admit playwrights?
No. At this time, we do not offer a playwriting workshop, or have a playwriting concentration.
Do you teach screenwriting?
A screenwriting workshop is offered once a year.
Do you accept students who write fantasy, science fiction, or other "genre fiction?"
The MFA program welcomes experimentation with literary forms new and old. While we do not wish to restrict our students from pursuing the writing that most excites them, the workshop emphasizes literary fiction, and encourages students to complicate generic conventions and subvert clichés, rather than recreating and reinforcing them.
Does the MFA program offer opportunities to study abroad?
Study abroad is not a part of our program at this time.
What is the Stone Award?
The Stone Award in Lifetime Literary Achievement is one of the nation's most generous life-time achievement prizes in the field of literature. Our inaugural recipient was Joyce Carol Oates who visited Corvallis in May, 2012, meeting our graduate students in a small group session, and giving an evening public reading. The award will be granted every other year.
Program Requirements
What is required to graduate?
Creative writing at OSU is a 2-year, 60-credit program. OSU runs on the quarter system. Most quarters, a student takes a 4-credit workshop in their genre (poetry, fiction, or nonfiction), a 4-credit literature or craft course, and 4 credit hours of thesis advising, for a total of 12 credits each quarter. Here for more.
Within the 60 required credits, each MFA candidate must take at least 1 pre-1800 English course. Students holding a GTA position must also complete at least 1 composition theory course as part of their coursework.
Students produce a thesis at the end of their second year of study. The thesis is a sustained piece of imaginative writing of literary merit. Generally, length, form, and content are mutually agreed upon by the student and the thesis advisor, depending on the student's needs and goals, with final approval resting with the advisor. Typically, however, a thesis is between 75 and 120 pages in length for fiction and nonfiction, and may be a short-story or essay collection, a novel, or a sustained nonfiction work. Poetry theses are between 35 and 48 pages in length.
An oral examination, or "thesis defense" is given in the student's final term of study. It measures a writer's growth and tests ingenuity and academic knowledge. The defense typically involves questions on theory and technique, on the history of the genre, on the student's own creative work, and on the student's grasp of the contemporary situation in the field of Creative Writing. The committee consists of the student's thesis advisor, a second representative from Creative Writing, a representative from Literature or Rhetoric and Writing (or, in some cases, from another field of study in which a student has a particular interest), and a Graduate School representative.
Does your MFA program have a language requirement?
Do I have to take comprehensive finals?
No. The MFA degree culminates, for each student, in a 2 hour Thesis Defense. See above, under "What is required to graduate" for more details.
Finances / Scholarships
What types of funding do you offer?
Our program is committed to providing full funding for all admitted MFA students through Graduate Teaching Assistantships. For 2013-2014, the annual salary is $10,249. MFA GTAs receive stipends of approximately $1138 per month, along with full tuition remission and a $300 stipend-supplement each quarter (excluding summer) to defray roughly half of student fees.
Though the GTAship is offered to students on a yearly basis, it is extremely rare that a student's contract is not renewed for the second year of study. As a GTA, you are often the sole instructor for the courses that you teach; you may also apply to be a teaching assistant in an introductory literature course. First-year GTAs teach an introductory composition course capped at 25 students. Second-year GTAs have the opportunity to teach creative writing (fiction or poetry). OSU's academic calendar is on a quarter system, and GTAs typically teach 1/1/2 (one section for two of the terms, and two sections for one of the terms).
Is tuition waived?
Yes, tuition is covered for all admitted GTAs.
Do you offer Health Insurance?
OSU provides health care coverage through an 85% GTA-only health insurance premium subsidy.
How long can I teach and how do I apply for a GTA position?
All GTA positions are for two years. To be considered for a GTA, be sure to check "Yes" next to "Graduate Teaching Assistant" in the Additional Graduate Questions module of the application.
Any chance of receiving additional funding?
Additional stipends can be sought through The Graduate School. We also submit our top candidates for prestigious university-wide fellowships, scholarships, and the Diversity Recruitment Bonus. In order to qualify for the Diversity Recruitment Bonus, a student must belong to an acknowledged minority group. Students who may qualify are strongly urged to indicate their ethnic identity on the Graduate School web application. On rare occasions, students receive additional funding by working with other departments.

oh the music of your tune,
Makes everything so immune,
Even it's a silence code,
Yet it's your best antidote.
You make the rainbow sings,
With every move you swings,
Could you be so that beautiful,
With hymns and beams so bountiful.
The bubbles of air you've made,
Determine your happiness in fate,
For your passionate is in the air,
Make one's serenity clear and dear.
The magnificent flows you've shown,
Took everyone's precious breath away,
Colorful enigma that looks beyond,
Shows your loves never betray.
Thousands of charisma you've run,
Reminds us life's meaning and the fun ,
Your mystic beauty just like the sun,
Always treasured even it's gone.

Best Hand Cream with SPF 15: The Winner
The contenders: Hand lotions and creams with a minimum of SPF 15. These moisturize and address roughness, wrinkling, and brown spots, some with ingredients commonly found in face creams: antioxidants, peptides, and retinoids, to name a few.
Testing time: Four weeks.
And the winner is...Dior Capture Totale Multi-Perfection Hand Repair Creme SPF 15 ($56, department stores) had the best overall performance score, rating first in a key hand-cream measure: ability to moisturize after six hours. Testers raved about the soft feel of their skin, and several singled out the scent — an unsurprising bonus from a company known for its fine perfumes. Most comments reflected these perks: "What a difference," raved one 49-year-old tester. "My hands look much smoother, as if I am in my 30s."

Trista's Baby Turns 1! Momlogic is There!
Four ballots, three months, two locations and one party planner later, Max's birthday party has finally come! The Candyland theme came to life as the Sutters and their guests enjoyed the festivities. See the fabulous photos!
Momlogic and entertainment and style guru, Jennifer Sbranti of HostessWithTheMostess.com helped bring Trista's vision and momlogic voters' choices to life during the "First Son of Reality TV's" first birthday party. Take a look at Trista and Ryan's son Max's celebration!
Click for more photos from the Bachelorette baby's bash!
|After Trista chose the Candyland theme, momlogic users chose the rest. This candy tree invitation designed by Sbranti was chosen by 86% of momlogic readers to alert guests of the event.
The party favors were custom designed by EM Tanner Designs, and were made up of personalized t-shirts, lunch boxes and plates with a lollipop design that 56% of momlogic readers voted for.
|With 45% of the vote, the winning menu was sliders with snow cone French fries, which was provided by chef David Sanchez of The Lake House.
|The main attraction--besides the birthday boy himself--was the candy buffet that was made up of 200 pounds of candy provided by Sweet Factory. Trista loved how it turned out, but joked that the other parents may be mad at her for having it.
The cupcake design that 48% of momlogic readers voted for was lollipops--and Mountain Flour Bakery made Max a cake to match. He had a boo boo on his face because, as Trista said, "Boys will be boys." But that didn't stop him from digging in.
Because of the threat of rain, the party was moved inside, but luckily, we moved into a firehouse--so the Sutters felt right at home. Ryan is a firefighter in Vail, Colorado. Trista has her own diaper bag line. You can check them out at www.TristaBaby.com.

ABERDEEN, S.D. (AP) - A Powerball ticket sold in Aberdeen is worth $10,000.
South Dakota lottery officials say the ticket matched four of five white ball numbers and the Powerball in the Saturday drawing to win the game's third prize. The odds of doing so are one in about 649,000.
The winner has about six months to claim the money.
Powerball is played in 42 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The jackpot is at $50 million for the next drawing, on Wednesday.

Whisky Type
Port Ellen 30 Year Old 1983 Vintage Islay single malt Scotch whiskey. Single refill hogshead #10124 expression of the lost Scottish distillery bottled December 2013 by Douglas Laing & Co. for the Director's Cut series. 102 bottles.
Nose: Distinctly old Islay! – softly phenolic, salty, leathery & malty + a wisp of smoke.
Palate: Oily & mouthcoatingly peaty sweet + later ash, soot and soft chewed leather.
Finish: More ash & soot show through subtly around its smoked typical old Islay style.
Port Ellen Distillery was established by Alexander K. Mackay on the southern coast of the Isle of Islay at Port Ellen in 1825. Port Ellen was a malt whisky distillery but closed in 1983 and whilst the distillery buildings remain Port Ellen drum maltings occupy part of the site and participates in Feis Ile, the annual Islay Festival of Malt and Music. Most recent official bottling of Port Ellen single malt whisky was the Port Ellen 11thRelease. During the winter of 1823-24 James Fox tested his newly designed spirit safe at Port Ellen Distillery prior to its introduction in all Scottish licenced distilleries by 1825 in order to comply with enactment of the Excise Act of 1823. Thus Port Ellen Distillery was the first Scottish distillery to install a spirit safe and James Fox was paid £428 for his work.

This is a fine knife for its intended purpose, but I have never seen a more meaningless video. Talk about empty platitudes, WOW. It actually described the finish as "Awesome," that was it, just awesome. No wood type, no steel type, but apparently it is good for slaying dragons. Big WOW on how bad that video was.

This is the white-handled version of a Bowie knife I've had for many years with a black handle, so I was very familiar with the product already. It should meet or exceed the highest expectations of anybody seeking a quality Bowie knife. It handles very nicely, but simply looking at it is an immense pleasure.

The other reviewer obviously didn't put any oil on it like it shows HOW to do on an instruction sheet included in EVERY Case knife. While it does not mention the kind of steel used in the seller's listing, it is probably made from Chrome Vanadium steel. This is NOT stainless steel and MUST have a light film or coating of oil on all metal, especially if being carried or in an area with high humidity or near salt water. CV steel is often preferred for its' ability to be re-sharpened easily and quickly, but the down side is that it requires more care & oiling than SS knives that can be carried all year, then dumped in a drawer without oiling or cleaning. Case makes excellent knives and with just a little care will last several lifetimes - truly a knife that can be handed from Father to son many times.

More Information About Case Cutlery
W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company of Bradford, Pennsylvania, is one of the most recognized names in the knife industry. The company, which has made handcrafted knives since 1889, has introduced innovation while continuing to make knives the old-fashioned way - through the hands of skilled craftsmen.
Case offers knives to fit virtually any need, from the convenience of a handy pocketknife to working and hunting knives and specialty cutlery such as the RussLock® which can be opened with one hand and this yearÂs new Mini Trapper with Golf Tool and Hobo® with Spoon. Case offers hundreds of different styles of knives, including many original designs such as the popular CopperLockÂ, Baby Butterbean, Sod Buster® and XX-Changer®.
CaseÂs commitment to quality begins with the materials used in production and is perfected by the talented hands of the master craftsmen and skilled employees who make Case knives.
Only the finest handle materials are used by Case. Materials include: imported Brazilian cattle bone used because of its density and strength; hardwoods such as rosewood; elegant mother-of-pearl and the new turquoise and black Jet stone.
In addition to a wide variety of handle materials, Case distinguishes certain handles with specially created patterns called jigs. Jigged bone is bone that has been notched to give it a rough texture. Jigging is done by hand for any knife sporting a Vintage Bone handle. Case has a variety of jig patterns including: Smooth, Standard, Rogers, Corn Cob, Rogers Corn Cob and PeachSeed.
Case customers have a choice of two different types of steel: the convenience of TruSharp surgical steel, a high-carbon stainless cutlery steel, or the tradition of chrome vanadium. While the surgical steel blades are easier to maintain and more resistant to rust and corrosion, many traditionalists prefer chrome vanadium, the original type of blade used by Case.
Case spares no expense on the internal components of its knives. While the average consumer doesnÂt always notice the genuine brass liners or the nickel silver bolsters, these special touches are key to making a knife that will last for generations.
Perhaps the most famous quality assurance Case has is the distinctive ÂXX that each Case knife wears like a badge of honor. The stamp of quality on each Case knife blade signifies that the blade has been properly tempered and tested  not once, but twice. It is more time consuming to produce a Case knife  on average, each knife takes eight weeks to make and is touched by more than 125 sets of hands  but the folks at Case believe the end result is a knife unlike any other on the market today.

Chapter 2:No Escape from the Vampire World0 Reviews
Fancy Suite, limo rides, and spa package for the next day all to good to be true. Till all this luxurious vacation surprises never get used when a interested clan leader takes Raylen away from her ...
The white stretch limo arrived at her place of sleep where she stepped out into the autumn air of Chicago ,which felt so amazing and fresh compared to the feel of Shreveport outdoors. Then she walked into the towering hotel which the door guard almost kicked her out of because Raylen guessed she was not fancy enough. 'Um hello Mr. door guard I'm in a flipping limo is that proof enough that I belong at this hotel.' She thought to herself before giving him her best smile and walking into the huge lobby.
Then after checking into the beautiful 5 star hotel, she took in the sites of the beautiful architect that adorn the huge lobby which for her childhood obsession she found a fountain with three levels of water flow, god did she love fountains better yet this fountain had a ledge around it. So making sure no one was looking Raylen hopped up on the ledge in went into her fake explorer mode. "Now here we are today on City Jungle and I'm your favorite explorer Raylen. Today's show will focus on deep in the industrial jungle of the sleeping place. Within the sleeping place we can see the cart towing bell creatures." She said making her hands like binoculars over her eyes looking at the bell boys. Raylen then jumped down and walked quietly up to the bell boys looking back at the imaginary camera filming her randomness. "And now we will attempt to approach such creature the bell creature very rare in smaller hotel .but can be found a lot in the bigger sleeping place regions of the world. This one we approach now folks has a name he has been classified by as Timmy." She said reading his name tag as the bell boy turned around looking at her funny before speaking to her. "Can I help you miss?" He said before spotting her luggage next to the fountain "Hmm how about I help you take those to your room?" Then Raylen snapping out of random moment smiled at him and then pointed to her luggage. "Why yes, yes you can my luggage is over there and I'll show you to my room?" She said as the bell boy grabbed her stuff then they went into the beautiful glass elevator.
At last they made it to her floor where she walked into a very beautiful suite which had two bedrooms wait a second two bedroom. Then as she thought this through a blonde with black underneath hair girl glomped her to the floor hugging and tickling. "Ray,Ray I missed my Ray, Ray. Everyday I'm without my Ray, Ray I have a bad day,day." She said hugging the crap out Raylen before getting up and pulling Raylen up who was laughing to hard to stand up straight. "Wow that was a nice surprise nice to see you to Lee Lee. Now I hope you made me some sweet tea tea because I am thirsty. Just kidding I did not come to Chicago looking for sweet tea." Raylen replied in a slightly toddler voice before getting up and looking over at the aroused bell boy. "Oh dear lord forgot you were here now please drop the luggage." She said taking her luggage before handing him a tip then pushing him out the door. "And please whatever you thinking of please keep it out of the gutter." Before slamming the door in his face and walking over to the couch. "So Leanne what is your list of plans tonight?"
The blonde stared at Raylen before remembering what the plans were for the night. "Oh my goss I almost forgot. First things first were not staying in here all night even if it's a pretty fancy room. No were getting dinner, maybe a movie since a little birdie told me their having a Rocky Horror Picture Show screenings tonight, and then were checking out this awesome club I found out about. After that your paying for two chocolate frosties, fries, and nuggets at Wendy's because all that dancing our asses off is bound to make us hungry for stuff like that." Lee excitedly said before pointing at Raylen's bedroom. "Now you get dressed in a sexy dress so we can get this party started on Saturday night." Lee demanded before walking off to the other bedroom to get ready. That's when Raylen remembered she never owned a clubbing like dress only her Lolita dresses she thought this through how she was going to get a sexy dress as she dragged her luggage into the very elegant and modern looking bedroom. Then her eyes caught a dress in a dress bag hanging on the closet door.
Taking it out she found a beautiful short blue dress with rhinestones on it and attached to its tag was a note. The note was addressed to her from her one and only boss Eric.
"Dear Raylen,
I remember clearly you never been one to go clubbing so after I found out your friends plans for the night of arrival. I decided to be a nice person and buy you a dress ,well Pam would pick out and buy the dress for me,that would suit you for clubbing. And when I found this blue one ,well Pam found the dress, I knew it make you sparkle in the night time life of Chicago. So I hope you have a fun and safe night? And please remember what I said and the promise your supposed to keep. I'll know if you break the promise and become dinner for some one. Other than that I hope you have a nice time off of work and I expect to see your face back at Fangtasia on the day I set for you to return.
Take Care Sweetheart,
Eric Northman
PS: I like to hear a thank you for getting a two bedroom suite in an expensive hotel so you and your friend Lee is it can have what you human girls enjoy a sleepover."
Raylen read the note over and smiled at the awesome dress Eric ,but really Pam bought for her. Then setting the note down she went to get ready, which did not take long till she was in the sparkling blue dress. To go with her dress she put on silver heels, wrapped a silky blue scarf around her neck to hide Eric's bite mark, and then fixed her black hair so it was wavy and settled on her shoulders. Then walking out she found Lee dressed in a hot pink and gold dress that really brought her out ,and her blonde and black locks were put in a nice bun. "Ready to go Lee because I'm ready for the nightlife that does not require me working in it." She said in getting pumped tone as Lee smirked at her and look over her friends dress before grabbing her purse and having Raylen follow her to the lobby where they would wait for the limo Eric had turned out giving Rayen for the week. Goss was she going have to hug that vampire god to death when she arrived at Fangtasia the following night of her return home.
As they waited for the limo to show up Lee gave a strange look in a certain direction that aimed at a building across the street and what she saw gave her burning glare before signaling her something. Then tapping Raylen on the shoulder she told her,she had forgotten her phone in the room and that if is right if Raylen wait here for the limo by herself. "Oh dear that would be something I would not want to forget. So I'll see you in a little bit and do not worry I'll be fine out here waiting for the limo." She said going to sit on a bench next to the hotel watching as the cars went by down the busy street in front of her.
Then she remember her awesome iPhone that her Aunt got her with the special Phantom of the Opera case so pulling it out and her headphones she begin to immerse herself in one of her favorite POTO songs "All I Ask of You", which she began to sing to herself in her best soprano voice. During the time she was immersed with the love ballad little did she notice the eyes that Lee saw before leaving now watching her from the shadows the eyes that belong to a very fascinated coven leader that disappeared as fast as they had arrived. That very time Raylen's phone rang to have the name Pam on it, which she was glad since she really wanted to thank her and Eric for the dress and especially Eric for all these awesome surprises. "Pam!! How awesome is it to hear from my favorite fashion queen. I was planning on calling you and Eric soon, but you guys read my mind thank you so much for the dress it makes me look fabulous." She said as Pam trying to reply back changed to Eric's voice. "Well Raylen how is your night so far I am assuming you and your friend about to experience the nightlife. I am guessing you're waiting for the limo to pick you guys up. Listen I need to talk to you about something please go somewhere in the hotel that is without people." She paused before replying. "I am alone right now Lee had to go get her phone." Then there was very angry and annoyed growl at the end of the phone. Before Eric responded in a much calmer tone from his growl, "You mean to tell me she left you alone outside I'm assuming waiting for the limo. Get your ass back in the hotel I know you're in a nicer area of Chicago, but just because its nicer does not mean it is safe." Raylen jumped at his calm anger grabbing her purse and walking back inside the hotel lobby then heading to the women's bathroom that was empty. "Okay, okay what is that you need to tell me I am inside so no worries now. Now Mr. Northman you better tell me what is so damn important for me to know. Or so help me God I am hanging this phone up on you." She responded to his silence waiting for a response from the Viking that was starting to get on her nerves.
Meanwhile, Lee had walked into the hotel and headed back to the last meeting room on the hall she was told to meet her new boss in. She hated she lied to Raylen ,but Lee had lost her modeling job and was now trying to find a way to survive and if it meant betraying her friend for the money to live then that was what she had to do. As she sat down in the chair just as a group of vampires known as the Dandies had arrived in the meeting room all in bowl shaped white hats. And one the black hair she remembered from the first meeting as Brendon approached her. "Seems like you did not chicken out on our deal Ms. Anderson that is good because Master William would have you in a grave faster than you could try to apologize for making that kind of mistake." Brendon said in his sinister way as Lee looked up at him with an evil smile. "Of course I did not chicken out of the deal I brought that dumb bitch to you. Now where is the money I was promised I receive for bringing her?" She growled at Brendon before see felt a force push her and her chair hard against the wall. "No, no Leanne that is where you forget you have her yes I know that. But you have not yet brought her to me. So clearly you better watch your tongue till the girl is in my hands? As for the money I have something better for you then money." Said the annoyed voice of the leader of Dandies ,which Lee almost had a heart attack from the terror she now felt for her new boss standing right next to her looking down at her with a dark glare. "Master Beckett um sir I did not mean it like that. You know what where was it you wanted me to bring her to you again Master." She said with fear her tone making the vampires, other than William, want to rip her throat open and drink her dry, but before she could get and answer a powerful slap to the face brought her crying to the floor. "I do not want your pathetic apology you know to well where I wanted you to bring her. Now go to the girl and continue with…." He let out a snarl but then paused his anger looking up as he caught the cherry blossom scent coming off said girl they were talking about as she walked through the hallway passing the meeting room they were in ,but William saw she was distracted and on the phone. This caused him to send a kick to supposed girl's friend on the floor before William strutted passed his clan walking out into the hallway following her quietly before she disappeared into the women's bathroom and locked the door for some reason. With curiosity on his mind about the girl that Leanne was to bring to him, William decided to listen in on her conversation and put his ear to the door.

Open Thread - playoff predictions
I'm going to be out this morning, so this will probably the the only post from me until I work on some more series preview stuff later today.
Now that the White Sox have fallen into the playoffs, we have all the matchups set up. I invite you guys to share your thoughts on what you think will happen, at least for the first round. If you want to take the next step and predict the Championship Series as well, you are welcome.
ALDS White Sox vs. Rays - Chicago has played hard to get in and exhaustion may be a factor here. Tampa has never before reached the post season and has a number of young players.
After having watched Florida and later Arizona topple the Cubs, I've developed a theory that young teams that make the playoffs do better, if only because they're simply happy to be there and are more likely to play loose the entire time. It won't matter to Tampa if they're down 2 games to 1 or even 2 games to 0, they're going to play hard and have fun out there. Therefore, I predict it will be the Rays in 4.
ALDS Red Sox vs. Angels - I've recognized the scariness of the Angels since early in the season. However, they are possibly the weakest team to win 100 in ages, as their division didn't exactly deliver unto them a ton of competition. The Red Sox are well-assembled and have a deep squad. I think they'll win this series, but if the Angels manage to take it, I think that LAofA will be the team to beat for the Series. Red Sox in 5.
NLDS Philles vs. Brewers - Like the White Sox, Milwaukee will have to contend with exhaustion at this point. On top of that, they really have only one dangerous pitcher right now, and he`s been throwing complete games on short rest for the last two or three weeks of the season. The Phillies had a stiff competition of their own, but at this point they have the better pitching - and that's what wins playoff games, folks. Pitching and defense. Phillies in 4.
NLDS Cubs vs. Dodgers - I'm starting to think that the Dodgers might be the best 84 win team to ever reach the playoffs. They don't really have a single hole offensively, although I'd characterize their team as having a lot of #2 hitters and one #3 hitter. They also have fantastic pitching, particularly in the bullpen. The Cubs, however, have the best starting pitching of any team in the playoffs and they have more than one game-changer in their offense. Cubs in 4.
I'm not going to predict the CS or WS at this point, but again, feel free to do so if you want. I'm sure one of the Riders will have more for you later today, even if I don't.

Q: A friend of mine who works at the school let it slip that my daughter's teacher views me as high maintenance because of my weekly calls to check in about her type 1 diabetes. She was diagnosed at the end of the last school year, so why wouldn't I be concerned? I'm now shying away from contact just so that I'm not seen as a pain, but it's making me anxious. Should I address this with the teacher? What's an appropriate amount of parent-teacher contact?
A: Because most kids spend a good part of their lives at school, teachers and school nurses are very much a part of their care team (as is any adult in a caregiving position). Wanting to stay in touch with your daughter's teacher and school about her progress is not unusual -- in fact, most diabetes educators encourage regular school-parent contact no matter what grade a child is in.
As for being seen as high maintenance, understand that many, if not most, parents of children with type 1 experience some level of anxiety or worry about their child's blood sugar management at school. This is especially true when the diagnosis is recent, or the first time a school nurse or teacher will be performing some of the tasks involved with daily management.
It could be that your child's teacher was having a bad day and her words were simply thoughtless -- or there could be something else afoot. Maybe the time when you call is her only break on that particular day or calling right at the end of the school day conflicts with her schedule. To clear the air, make an appointment to talk in person. Be upfront in letting the teacher know that diabetes still feels very new for your family, and it may be that you need to stay in a little closer contact than other parents of students with type 1 that the teacher has possibly worked with before.
Together you can decide on the frequency and type of communication that works well for everyone. Is there a particular day that is more convenient for a quick 10-minute call? Perhaps weekly emails would work better, and phone calls can be reserved for urgent situations? As you negotiate this, just know that it's completely reasonable to communicate in some form on a weekly basis, even if it's just to hear that your daughter is doing absolutely fine. As the school year progresses and your comfort level rises, you can always revise this communication plan, with the goal still being to keep lines of communication open.
--Jennifer Dunford, R.N., C.D.E., is a certified diabetes educator and type 1 diabetes management team member at Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children in Wilmington, Delaware.
How Other Parents Deal
"When my son went back to school after his diagnosis, his teacher came up with a checklist form that she sent home every day. It had boxes for things like 'Had a morning snack,' 'Checked my blood sugar,' 'Went to the nurse.' It was very reassuring -- and very easy for the teacher to fill out!"
--Jennifer, mom of Evan

I'm trying to merge 2 sites I've had in the past into a new 3rd site to use as a portfolio, but before transferring the content I need to get my design and layout in order.
So far I've come up with a layout I'm somewhat happy with, but I could use outside eyes to give me other perspectives, I'm creative but suck artistically. I haven't made a banner or logo yet, simply have placeholders for both. Same with the footer, I haven't felt inspired by anything yet so it's just a boring white.
So the way I decided to break it up was to use thumbnails with descriptions for each item which load that information's main page where they can read more about it. Basically they are different projects I've been working on.
I made the first 3 pages of the new site, but the links all lead to my old site so I'm just looking for feedback on the design rather than content.
The new site is http://LeeFromSeattle.com/projects.html as well as /tutorials.html and gallery.html On the projects page when you hover over the top left div and the bottom left div it shows/hides an animated sprite.
I just made the gallery yesterday so would like feedback on it, it's just javascript, some of the images are repeats, and the panel on the right will be to show different categories, the current buttons were to test functions I made to clear all the images, a section of images, or draw a section of imgs.
Now for my online resume part, I put my non personal resume info into a menu similar to a game, because I'm trying to get a job as a front end game dev, so figured I'd style my stuff as I would if I was making a game.
The website for the resume menu is just http://LeeFromSeattle.com with no extensions. Do you think that's a good way to display my information?
Ignore all the moving sprites that was just for a test, I might add that to it's own page to show off my sprite generator and the javascript I animate them with, but I was planning on making that into a tutorial when I have time.
Any advice from a design perspective? Thank you.

Sep 23 2011: There is currently a conspiracy that states the Comet ELENIN, the "Comet" that is currently traveling through our solar system, could be planet X, a Brown Dwarf, or a Neutron Star, now however unlikely this is, the only reason i keep it in mind is that every large siezmic event over the past 2 years has happened on a day, key word ON a day, that this Anomaly, the Sun, and the Earth have been aligned, the next 2 alignments are 9/26/2011, 11/3/2011, but on 10/17/2011 this anomaly will be less than 1/4 the distance between the earth and sun, to us, at a mere .23 AU away from us, now if this is a comet nothings going to happen and in the next week it will be obvious if it is just a theory, or a possibility, but if this is acutally is planet X, a brown dwarf, or a neutron star, alot of things could happen , from the magnetic poles of our planet switching, having our planet pulled closer to the sun, or farther away, and so much more, so it is fully possible that cosmic events can effect our planet, the question is, when, and where?
