raditionally, auditioning for an orchestra means appearing alone onstage in a nerve-jangling performance before grizzled veteran musicians. In the Google way, it means posting on the company's video-sharing site, YouTube, for online judging by the professionals and then, ultimately, the YouTube universe.
That second option is the main feature of a new marketing project by Google to bolster the organized presence of classical music on YouTube and promote the idea of online communities. And orchestras and professional musicians, poking around in the murky but fecund possibilities of the Internet, have jumped on board as a way to further their own educational and musical missions.

What's the reality on what is being offered? What do they base the deal on? Can Gillis ask for 20 1st rounders and be justified in his asking price, simply because he thinks that's what Lu should garner? Likewise, does Burke offer a ham sandwich and a Bozak simply because he can? Or are both GMs working off some precedent, some baseline of prior trades, to at least start to find a common ground? Which is more likely?
If Burke isn't offering something that is _fair_, based on precedent, why bother calling at all? To get laughed at? Why bother increasing your offer after EDM has entered the arena? He made his best stab at buying the car but found out he could do better, just by chance, when EDM came along... ?? And here I was thinking Burke had already offered everything he could afford?
Is that reality? Is that "winning the internetz"??

With production at 66,000 boe/d day in July 2011, the Eagle Ford shale play in South Texas remains overshadowed by its more mature neighbors, the Barnett shale (877,000 boe/d) and the Haynesville shale (708,000 boe/d). But a surge in new drilling activity suggests that is about to change.
Data research firm Evaluate Energy projects the Eagle Ford shale may soon become the biggest producing shale play in Texas, if not the entire US. Drilling activity in the Eagle Ford has been growing dramatically for the past year, and at the end of 1Q 2011, it was the area with the most new wells being drilled in the state, Evaluate Energy found. According to the report, "the Eagle Ford play is looking like it will soon catch up with and overtake its neighbors."
Going longer, getting cheaper
Magnum Hunter Resources Corp. is one of the companies tackling the Eagle Ford play. CEO Gary Evans said at the IPAA OGIS New York conference in April 2011, "One of the things we're striving to do in the Eagle Ford is to go out further."
With seven wells completed and producing in the play, the company has upsized from 1,219-m (4,000-ft) laterals to its most recent lateral of 1,829 m (6,000 ft), although 244 m (800 ft) was lost at the toe due to mechanical problems. "We're fracing more stages, too," he said. "We're trying to get up to 20 stages per well." Most Magnum Hunter wells to date have been completed with 14 to 16 fracture stages.
The company holds 25,000 net acres, most of those part of 50% operated joint venture partnerships with Hunt Oil Co., EOG Resources Inc., and GeoSouthern Energy Corp. Most of its acreage is concentrated in the oil window of Gonzalez County, with some in Fayette, Lee, and Atascosa counties, where the average thickness of the Eagle Ford is 23 m to 46 m (75 to 150 ft), with 8% to 10% porosity and 60% to 80% brittle rock.
Its latest wells have averaged 1,200 to 1,300 boe/d. "Our goal is to get to 2,000 boe/d per well IP (initial production)," Evans said. Current wells are typically leveling out at 400 to 600 b/d. Production is 98% oil, "not condensate," he clarified. Magnum Hunter is running one rig, and Hunt has another focused on JV acreage. Evans expects to have 15 wells on production by yearend 2011.
Well costs are near US $8.2 million at present, but Evans is determined to drive costs down. "The last well we drilled was $7.5 million; our goal is to get to $7.2 million," Evans said.
Monitoring service companies is crucial to keeping costs down. "We hammer on these guys. If you've got 10 pump trucks and we only need eight, send the other two home. Don't charge us for that," he said. Magnum Hunter also buys a lot of its own equipment, whether lighting, frac tanks, or well agitators.
Dealing quickly with mechanical issues is another focus of cost cutting. "When something goes wrong – cut and run," Evans advised. "You stay there for three days fooling around trying to trip a hole, and that's when your costs go out the roof."
One big problem Eagle Ford operators encounter that affects the success of a well is staying in zone. "Steering is crucial for staying in zone. We're 100%. We don't get out of zone," he said.
Magnum Hunter runs high-case and low-case economics. Based on a 1,280 b/d model with a 500,000 bbl equivalent estimated ultimate recovery (EUR), the internal rate of return (IRR) is 36% at $80 oil and 64% at $100. Modeling 613 b/d and a 362,000 bbl equivalent EUR, a low case, the IRR is 23% at $80 and 39% at $100.
Magnum Hunter has paid an average of $375/acre for its position, Evans said, but today acreage is leasing for around $1,500 to $2,000.
"We're willing to try new things; there are better ways to do this," Evans said. The company is experimenting with new technology in Atascosa County, where it has 3,000 acres that are 100% operated, with two producing wells. "A year or two from now we'll be doing things differently than we're doing them today. Look at all these resource plays; you're seeing better recoveries, better production, and better reserves … because we're learning."
Rosetta rising
Rosetta Resources Inc. also is getting good results in the Eagle Ford.
"Our Eagle Ford assets continue to outperform our expectations," said CEO and President Randy Limbacher, summing up 1Q 2011 during a conference call.
Rosetta holds 65,000 acres in the Eagle Ford play, but it has focused its attention up to now on its 26,500-acre Gates Ranch prospect in northern Webb County. During 1Q 2011, Rosetta drilled nine wells and has current production of 120 MMcf/d, up from zero 18 months prior.
In fact, the strong well performance makes the Houston-based company's published 7.2-Bcfe type curve obsolete. "The Eagle Ford wells are behaving nicely," Wunderlich Securities analyst Irene Haas observed. "The data clearly shows that the newer wells are producing at higher rates than implied by the 7.2-Bcfe type curve." And those newer wells are curtailed by some 15 to 20 MMcf/d due to short-term infrastructure constraints.
Rosetta's Senior Vice President of Asset Development, John Clayton, added, "We'd like to see what these wells can do when they're not curtailed."
KeyBanc Capital Market's Jack Aydin is willing to take a guess: "We estimate EURs could be well north of 8.5 Bcf/well on average in the Gates Ranch area."
The company has begun three-well pad development, resulting in a cost savings of $500,000/well and has a lease operating expense of $0.15.
"Rosetta continues to optimize drilling and completion operations, which have offset service cost inflation," said Michael Bodino, managing director and head of energy research for Global Hunter Securities. "Spud-to-release has decreased over the past 15 months from 27 days to 15, and pad development allows the rig to mobilize in hours rather than the previous five to seven days." Downspacing remains imminent, as the company believes it is recovering just 20% of hydrocarbons in place. "The current well inventory of 236 wells is based on spacing of roughly 80 to 110 acres," Haas noted. "If downspacing is feasible, the Gates Ranch well count could double to 441. Using the current type curve of 7.2 Bcf per well, this implies an incremental 1.5 Tcf before royalty."
Bolstered by recent asset sales and $385 million in liquidity, Rosetta has added a third rig to its program to test acreage beyond Gates Ranch, specifically 25,000 acres in the liquids windows in southern Gonzalez, central Dimmit, northern LaSalle, and Encinal counties. It plans to have 58 horizontal wells drilled and completed by year-end.
But with the ramp-up comes challenges. Even with firm take-away commitments in hand, Limbacher continues to closely watch the midstream infrastructure situation.
"Two potential pressure points are trucking capacity and the reliability of firm gas transportation," he said.
Oil hauling in South Texas is extremely tight and will continue to be for some time, Limbacher said. The company has sufficient trucking capacity now but is moving toward other solutions such as rail, additional pipelines, and barges.
Gas take-away is challenged as well, even with firm commitments for existing production.
"We've seen our midstream partners struggling from time to time to provide firm capacity for which we've contracted," he said. Rosetta has moved gas to other carriers on a short-term basis. "Expect us to continue to develop additional take-away options to ensure plenty of gas pipeline capacity for our key projects."
Targeting take-away
SM Energy holds 250,000 net acres in the Eagle Ford shale. According to President and CEO Tony Best, "This is a company-maker for SM Energy. It's a great position."
SM holds 165,000 net 100%-operated acres, mostly in the rich-gas window in Webb and LaSalle counties, where it is working three rigs presently and plans to go up to six by year-end. They also holds a 25% nonoperated position of 85,000 net acres with Anadarko Petroleum Corp. in Maverick and Dimmit counties, with 10 rigs running.
Take-away capacity in the Eagle Ford is an issue for some operators, but Best assured attendees at the April 2011 IPAA OGIS New York conference that the company is in a good position to handle increasing production.
"We've been able to secure significant takeaway capacity, and we've contracted for the drilling and completion services that we're going to need for this year and next," he said. "That is going to be critical in our ability to ramp up in the program."
SM now has takeaway commitments for 150 MMcf/d through midyear, going to 300 MMcf/d by the end of 2012. It also has secured a new take-away agreement for an additional 190 MMcf/d when a pipeline arrives in 2013.
"By mid-2014 we will have 470 MMcf/d of take-away capacity to accommodate our program in this play," Best said.
Comparing these numbers with total company-wide production for 2010, "That is clear evidence of the significant impact the Eagle Ford can have on SM Energy and the opportunity we see in front of us in this play," Best said. "It's a pretty exciting time for us." SM expects to drill 80 wells (70 net) by year-end.
Best of play
Carrizo Oil & Gas Inc. holds 33,000 net acres in the condensate window of LaSalle and Dimmit counties. President and CEO S.P. (Chip) Johnson IV said at the New York symposium that many think this will have the best economics of any area of the Eagle Ford. "It's extremely profitable," he said.
The company is looking to expand its position through lease acquisitions, focusing in Dimmit, northern LaSalle, McMullen, and Atascosa counties, Johnson said. The goal is to target the play where it is shallower than 3,000 m (10,000 ft), with some condensate but with a majority stream of oil production. The hurdle at present is cost. "It's very hard to find more acreage here now at a reasonable price," he said.
Nonetheless, in early June Carrizo bolstered its position with 13,000 new acres for $1,650/acre up front and a total cost of approximately $5,500/acre once carried drilling costs are factored in.
All of Carrizo's first three Eagle Ford wells had initial production of more than 1,000 b/d of oil on a 24-hour rate. The following two came in at 735 bbl and 815 bbl at restricted rates. Average EURs with well expectations of 70% liquids and 30% rich gas are 400,000 boe (300 million net), with total target reserves of 92 MMboe.
Total well costs are $7 million to $7.5 million with 1,500-m (~5,000-ft) laterals and 18 frac stages, drilled into the condensate window above 3,000 m (10,000 ft). Finding and development costs average $23.33/well, with a 54% rate of return at $100 oil and $4 gas.
The company anticipates completing three wells a month from June through the end of the year. It now estimates it has 230 locations on 115-acre spacing.

Steamboat Springs Steamboat Springs Transit fell just 1,100 riders short of a record December last month.
"We were way up," City of Steamboat Springs Transit Director George Krawzoff said.
The free-to-rider city buses carried 135,350 passengers last month, compared to 104,158 in December 2001 and 136,430 in the record December of 1998.
Traditionally, the last day of the year is the busiest day of the year for Steamboat's bus drivers, and this year was no exception. On New Year's Eve, the city buses ran until 2:30 a.m. and carried 9,197 passengers. Krawzoff figures the old record for Dec. 31 would have fallen had it not been for the heavy snow that sent New Year's Eve celebrants hustling home to bed so they could ski in the morning.
"We were on pace to exceed 1999 when we had a record 9,441 passengers," Krawzoff said. "But with that snowstorm, I think we carried far fewer revelers."
The obvious reason for an upswing in bus ridership is a return to 20-minute service intervals for the first time since 1998. During the intervening four years, the city cut bus service to 30-minute intervals. But Krawzoff says there's more to it than that.
"Our service is improved, but the ridership is beyond that," Krawzoff said. "A certain percentage (of the increase) is local ridership."
Krawzoff pointed to November 2002 as evidence. Ridership was up 40 percent, from 26,000 passengers in November 2001 to 36,000.
The trend within the trend has seen winter ridership declining slightly while gains in the summer and shoulder seasons have partially offset the softer winter numbers, Krawzoff said. Summer ridership has doubled over the past five years.
Winter ridership here took a big jump in 1997 when bus routes were redrawn to better serve resort condominium properties. Numbers peaked in the winter of 1997-98 at 745,000 passengers and gradually slipped down to 672,801 in the winter of 2000-01 and 647,790 last winter.
It remains to be seen whether the return to 20-minute frequency will permanently reverse that trend.

The Monthly Jobs Brief is 3!
Three years ago this month Public Assets Institute published its first monthly Jobs Brief—our one-page update on Vermont's employment picture, published the same day as the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics releases its monthly data.
In 2009, Public Assets got interested in what was behind these numbers. We wanted to find ways to provide context and create broader understanding about jobs and the Vermont economy—a big concern after the recession hit. With a grant from the Vermont Community Foundation, we developed the monthly Jobs Briefs in July that year.
In addition to providing analysis of the newest unemployment data, each report looks to history and other up-to-date information, including data released by Montpelier, to uncover trends, quirks, and developments others are not catching.
Like all our reports, the Monthly Jobs Briefs are written with the average Vermonter in mind. We gather the facts and explain what they mean in a way that anyone can understand. Read today's brief.

As we reported earlier this week, recently reunited friends Gemma Collins and Bobby Norris have once again parted company in The Only Way Is Essex.
Feelings between Gemma and Bobby have been fraught recently due to Bobby's announcement that he planned on having a baby with a surrogate, a gay-by if you will, of which Gemma was less than supportive as she pointed out his financial situation did not make the plan plausible.
Bobby took great offence to Gemma's supposed lack of support and the two bickered between themselves for most of the current series until last Sunday when a truce was called between them and they almost seemed to be singing from the hymn sheet for once.
However, during last night's insight into the Essex gang's lives, Gemma and Bobby took their disagreement to a whole new level where it almost looked like they might come to blows!
The situation arose after Gemma, who used to go out with co-star James Argent, could be seen cosying up to her ex, sparking many rumours that a reconciliation was on the cards.
The pair were seen in bed together scoffing pizza and showering each other with compliments during which Arg commented:
"We'll have this pizza and then I'll make my move, you don't want me to stay do you?"
The whole gang then gathered later in the episode for a comedy night where Arg had to been removed from the stage after bursting into fits of hysterical laughter at his own joke which was followed by Bobby and humiliating him with a limerick about his weight.
Given the current situation between Gemma and Arg, the larger-than-life busty blonde did not take kindly to Bobby's comments and displayed this by not clapping along with everyone when he left the stage.
An unimpressed Bobby then confronted Gemma which sparked a huge row during which Gemma was heard to ask Bobby to stop being so aggressive to which he replied:
"If I looked at a thesaurus and looked up the word aggressive, it would be a picture of Gemma Collins."
This led Gemma to accuse Bobby and Charlie of not being genuine which resulted in Bobby declaring that he wanted nothing more to do with Gemma or her 'fat club'.
The scene ended with Gemma calling Bobby an embarrassment, to which he replied loudly:
"I'll rip that cheap wig off your head… Alright Vanessa Feltz, I'll leave it there. You're a f***ing tramp."
The Only Way Is Essex can be seen on Sunday and Wednesday nights at 10 PM on ITV 2/ITV2 HD.

America vs Australia: Bathroom EtiquetteA unidentifiable person from Goliath Distribution in Australia will now be taking the Australian's side of this blog article. Be prepared for country wars. But probably not. One of the first things I didn't understand when arriving in Australia was the need for 2 flushing devices on the toilets. One for a super flush and 1 for a medium flush. Hmmm...doesn't really seem necessary. Or does it? I couldn't figure out which one was for what. Mini flush for number 1's and super flushes for number 2's? Super flush if you wanted a little bit of excitement in your day? Mini flush if you went but your friend was sleeping in the next room and you didn't want to wake him? Sometimes I would just push both at the same time for super mini flushes. Hoping something cool happened. It didn't.

The villainous Flashback lay quivering on the floor, still covered in the debilitating cheese from his last battle. Wormhole unsheathed the nib of his Cosmic Pen and drew a portal. In a shimmer, the fortress vault appeared on the other side. A glass display protected an ancient book, containing the key to power. The Monkeyshines Codex was nearly in Wormhole's grasp …
This narrative wasn't ripped from the pages of a graphic novel. It emerged from the interaction between fertile young minds play-testing Herodex, a homemade game about superheroes.
A few months ago — after struggling through several attempts to get my sons hooked on Dungeons & Dragons — I came up with a one-page version of the game (DnDish) that spawned a weekly session with four kids and a handful of six-sided dice. The experience was successful enough for the boys to spin-off their own adventures in school, prompting some interest from friends in joining our ongoing campaign.
Scalability issues quickly surface, however, when you increase the duration of individual down time between turns in a skirmish. This is particularly true when the average age of the gamers is in single digits; patience is not their virtue. We capped the party at four players to keep everyone involved. This left an itch unscratched when larger gatherings wanted to role play. Continue Reading "Herodex: Superheroes and Storytelling" »

IMAX Theater To Open At Destiny USA Friday
The IMAX and RPX theatres at Regal Cinemas Destiny USA are opening just in time for all the big blockbuster movies of the summer. The theaters open at 12:01 Friday morning for showings of the new "Man of Steel."
The IMAX and RPX theaters will enhance Regal guests' viewing experience with the IMAX screen three times the average movie theater screen standing 40 feet tall and stretching 72 feet wide. The RPX theater is slightly smaller standing 31 feet tall and 58 feet wide. Both screens combined will add close to an additional 700 seats to the entire Regal Cinema complex, making a total of 3,400 seats.
The concept of the IMAX Theater originated in Montreal, Canada in 1967. The idea revolutionized cinema even more when 3D viewing was created for IMAX theaters in 1986. IMAX has exploded into a worldwide phenomenon launching 700 plus theaters spread across 52 different countries. RPX (Regal Premium Experience) theaters are still relatively new to the entertainment world. They debuted in April 2010, with more than 40 screens across the country today.
"On the behalf of the 230+ workers and multiple construction teams we put on this project, we are very proud getting this job done in time for Superman, Man of Steel," Rob Schoeneck, General Manager of Destiny USA, stated. "There's not a bad seat in the house!"

Apr 5, 2013 at 10:56 am #1301332

@voiceofsticksLocale: Mid-Atlantic
I have used New Balance 690s for a few years now (the predecessor to 790 and 890s), for running, etc. Itend to hike in my Vasque Breezes but I'd like to upgrade to trail runners.
I find New Balance's numbering system to be pretty confusing – can anyone tell me what trail runner I should look at if I like the fit of the 690/790/890 running shoe? This is their lightweight (but not minimalist), basic neutral trainer.
I tried looking on Zappos but quickly got overwhelmed and apparently EVERYTHING is minimalist now? I don't mind a small heel drop but I need SOMETHING beneath my foot…thanks!Apr 5, 2013 at 11:16 am #1973116
IanBPL Member
I run in 990s but found that I was the most comfortable in their 510 trail runner; as luck would have it this is their cheapest TR.
It was nice to check out their factory store in Charleston where I could compare them all side by side. I don't know if you ever go to Williamsburg but they have a factory store there.Apr 5, 2013 at 11:23 am #1973118

FWIW I've been buying NB shoes for the past 20+ years and I don't have any real understanding of their numbering system.Apr 5, 2013 at 1:13 pm #1973155
Maris LBPL Member
Apparently the first one or two digits indicate the 'quality' of design materials, higher number being 'better'. The last two digits indicate the 'performance series' for which the shoe is intended.
Copy/pasted info regarding the last two digits –
60: stability (860-1260)
70: mild stability (870)
80: neutral (880-1080)
90: lightweight, modern (890)
00: spikes and racing flats
40: Optimal Control
Supported by medical and podiatric experts, shoes in this category provide maximum control, stability, cushioning and support for biomechanical needs such as pronation and low arches.
50: Fitness Running
For training on roads or for indoor workouts, the 50 Series offers the combination of visual attitude and innovation with the responsiveness and power athletes need.
60: Stability
Designs that offer industry-leading stability to reduce pronation while also providing unparalleled cushioning and comfort.
70: Light Stability
70 Series shoes offer the perfect combination of stability and speed, all in a lighter, sleek profile designed for runners who train at a faster pace.
80: Neutral
For high-mileage runners who require light shoes and the protection of superior cushioning.
90: Speed
For faster runners who want every advantage, including a superior ride and fit. The choice trainers for professional and non-professional speed and distance runners.
00: Competition
Racing flats and spiked shoes that define high performance. Competition-level footwear for athletes who want to maximize performance, set records and win gold.Apr 5, 2013 at 1:58 pm #1973166

I have never really understood whether there even IS a 'real system' behind the numbering.
The letters usually mean something: MT = Mens Trail, WO means Womens Outdoors (I think), etc.

They've been using the system Maris indicated for 2 years now supposedly. I wish they would have included the last style in the model number. They allow you to search what shoes are made with each last but most of those (eg, RL-3 used on the new 889) return nothing. :/

Winthrop University professor Scott Huffmon is aggressively defending the results of a recent poll which showed S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley with an abysmal 34.6 percent approval rating.
Earlier this week, SCGOP executive director Matt Moore released a memo to the party's executive committee calling into question the validity of the poll.
"This poll is highly questionable," Moore wrote. "It has President Barack Obama polling 12 points better in South Carolina than he's doing nationally. Do you honestly think Barack Obama is massively more popular in South Carolina than he is nationwide? I don't."
(To read Moore's memo, click here).
Huffmon counters that the Winthrop poll showed Obama's approval rating among South Carolinians at 44.8 percent – which is roughly identical to his national approval rating.
Huffmon – who released a poll in 2010 predicting Haley's victory – has also come under fire from Democrats within the last year (which would seem to indicate that he's doing something right).
Speaking of Democrats, Huffmon explained why his sample included roughly the same number of Democrats as Republicans in a state that overwhelmingly voters "R" in general elections.
"While thirty or so percent of all registered voters are Democrats, only about 20 percent or so of those who actually show up on election day are Democrats," he said. "I base that number on our October 2010 poll of likely gubernatorial voters. You remember that poll, right? The one the Democrats accused of bias? The one that correctly predicted Haley's victory?"
"An additional factor contributing to Republican victory after Republican victory is that among independents, most lean toward one of the parties and among leaners, significantly more lean toward the Republican party than the Democratic party," Huffmon added.

Two Far North teenagers have been referred to Police Youth Aid after allegedly attacking their parents.
The first was a 13-year-old girl who was charged with assault with intent to injure after an incident at Opua on Friday evening in which she allegedly punched and kicked her mother.
On Sunday afternoon a juvenile boy was charged with assaulting his mother and wilful damage at Towai.
Senior Sergeant Peter Robinson of Kerikeri said police in the Far North had their hands full with domestic violence incidents, but children attacking their parents was a relatively new phenomenon.
"It's certainly a concern for us," he said, urging anyone who was a victim of or witnessed domestic violence to contact the police as soon as possible, whomever the perpetrator.

The bad news is there are names to be added every year to the Key West AIDS Memorial. The good news is there soon will be additional space to memorialize local residents who have lost the battle.
Crews from D.L. Porter construction company are expanding the granite memorial that stands solemnly at the foot of the White Street Pier on Higgs Beach.
The estimated $160,000 expansion has been three years in the making, and is being funded with two grants from the Monroe County Tourist Development Council, awarded in two different grant cycles, said Jon Allen, president of the Friends of the Key West AIDS Memorial. The nonprofit group created the memorial in 1997 and, along with the city of Key West, ensures its maintenance.
The Friends also administer the annual addition of new names, which are read aloud every Dec. 1 on World AIDS Day during a candlelit march down White Street to the memorial.
The expanded section will be made of the same black granite as the original design, but instead of resting flat on the ground, it will include tilted granite panels bearing the additional names.
"We realized several years ago that we were running out of space, so we got a hold of Michael Ingram, who was the architect of the original design, and asked him to give us some options on how we could continue to add names," Allen said on Wednesday. "Thankfully the number is lower every year, but the addition of names is ongoing."
Ingram, along with fellow architect Anthony Sarno, designed a "free standing annex to the memorial," said Allen, adding that the design received approval from the Friends of Higgs Beach, the Art in Public Places board and county officials, as the beach is county-owned.
"The new design will be up out of the ground on tilted panels so it will be more visible, and I think it will really define that space a little better," Allen said.
Phase 2 of the memorial will accommodate about 1,200 names, said Ingram, hoping Key West never fills it. There are currently more than 1,100 names inscribed into the original granite.
His design also features new benches that will face the nearby Africans Memorial, as well as the sunset from Higgs Beach.
"The seating will be individual seats that are designed to discourage long-term occupancy," Ingram said.
In addition to the TDC funding, the Marion Stevens Fund has pledged an additional $20,000 for ongoing maintenance of the memorial, Ingram said, commending the city of Key West for its work maintaining the area as well.
The contract with D.L. Porter requires work to be finished within six months, and Ingram estimated it will be finished well within that time frame, although a definite completion date has not been set.
The Friends of the AIDS Memorial always welcome volunteers and donations to help preserve the memorial. For more information about the memorial, visit www.keywestaids.org. To volunteer or donate, email email@example.com.

With the bridal shower, St. George trip, camping, and Bam Bam's out of the way, we were ready for the main event: Mariel and Jordan's wedding! We all woke up extra early on Friday, October 10, to get ready for the big day. I was really antsy that morning (having a sister getting married makes me feel really old) so I jumped on the treadmill for a couple miles at 6 a.m. Much clothes-ironing, cereal-eating, hair-drying, make-up applying, and tooth-brushing later, we were good to go. Mariel and my parents drove up together and the boys, Hannah, Jason and I followed a few minutes later.
We're all excited, but we are also very tired.
We made it up to the beautiful Oquirrh Mountain temple in plenty of time. Adam and Grant waited in the waiting room with Rachel and the little cousins while the rest of us attended the sealing. Click here for more about temples and why being sealed there matters to Mormons.
My Grandpa Pullan–who also married us five and a half years ago–officiated. He did a beautiful job. (I feel like the word "beautiful" is already over-used in this post, but it really was a beautiful day all around!
After the wedding, Jason, Hannah and I went back downstairs and met up with Adam and Grant.
#1 I can't believe my brothers are so old and tall.
#2 I always think my hair is long and lustrous and then I see Hannah again.
#3 How sharp do we all look in our wedding finery?
Finally Mariel and Jordan emerged from the temple! I have no pictures of this because we were just reveling in how happy they looked. Oh wait, here's one from Laurisa!
Mariel's dress was perfect, her hair was gorgeous, her flowers were stunning, her ring is insanely shiny, and her veil is mine (heart), but the best part of the whole day was her huge smile. She and Jordan just glowed. I couldn't stop smiling when I just looked at them!
We took lots and lots of pictures ("Everyone! Now Pullans! Now Deans! Now Pullan and Dean immediate families! Pullan immediate family! Dean immediate family! Bridesmaids! Groomsmen! All together now! Look at each other and pretend to laugh!"). Mariel's photographer was awesome, though, and handled all the crazy–and believe me, with our family there can be a lot of crazy–with aplomb. Also, I am exceedingly excited to see a picture of me and Hannah Pippa Middleton-ing Mariel's dress. Yes, that happened.
While the newlyweds took kissing pictures around the temple, we basked in the perfect October day.
At noon, the boys, Hannah, Jason and I (a group I will now just refer to as the siblings, as we spent much of our time together) embarked on our most exciting duty of the day: retrieving 45 dozen donuts from Payson Market. Mariel loves donuts and especially loves Payson Market donuts. Thus, it only made sense to serve these fabled confections at her wedding reception. I drove us back down to Payson (which was fun in spite of Hannah's radio station tips, which inadvertently led us to accapella and NPR, which is great for every day, but not for a wedding day). We stopped at Fat Jack's for our second box of cheese sticks in 18 hours, then popped over to the house to pick up a few things we'd forgotten in the morning rush. Adam and Grant drove the truck over to Payson Market and loaded up the boxes and boxes and boxes of donuts.
We followed them to the Springville Art Museum, where we left the donuts in the kitchen in anticipation of the reception. I have never seen so many donuts in my life.
Oh, and those are definitely maple-bacon donuts, Adam's favorite. So gross.
The siblings drove over to the Chillon in Spanish Fork for the luncheon. I haven't been to the Chillon since Hannah had choir there and it is a beautiful space. We had a great lunch and got to share a table with my moms sisters and Chris and Christie.
The dads said nice things about Mariel and Jordan and I cried (emotions, man) and Hannah slept (after the lunch, of course).
At this point I too felt like taking a nap too, but there wasn't time! We jetted back to the Springville Art Museum for family photos. Again, I don't have any of these, but I did steal a picture of the bridesmaids and flower girls from my Aunt Laurisa. The bridesmaids were (from left) Jordan's sister, our cousin Rachel, Hannah, and me.
I like to call the next series of photos "Hannah and Amanda Posing With People They Love."
We love our beautiful mom (how great does she look?)(and our dad, but we didn't get a picture with him)!
We love cousin, friend, and fellow bridesmaid Rachel, whose hair looked best out of all the bridesmaids!
We love Aunt Sharla (and all our other aunts and uncles)!
If you can't tell, Hannah and I were all about our bouquets. Seriously, I wanted to figure out a way to dry it and bring it back to Virginia with me. Also, the boutonnieres had succulents in them and were awesome.
With some patience, we also got a picture of my Grandma and Grandpa and all of their grandchildren (except Mariel and Jordan, once again off taking kissy pictures. Those two…)
We love Jason too, but I love him the most.
The reception got underway and we settled in for three hours of laughter, talking, and donuts. Oh, and I wrote on a chalkboard sign. I am so glad Pinterest wasn't around when we got married because I am pretty sure it would have just made me feel pathetic. Mariel, on the other hand, had a clear vision and pulled it off!
Mariel and Jordan stood in line while the rest of us ate and socialized. Jason and I were so glad to see Dave and Jake and Justine! We can't wait to meet our little niece in November!
We also got to catch up with Roni and Amelia. I may be wrong about this, but I think the last time the three of us were together was at Jason and my wedding? Anyway, they are great.
There were so many people from my past Payson life, including my second grade teacher, several young womens leaders, our neighbors from the old house, Roni's mom/my old boss at Fat Jack's, and a panoply of ward members, family friends, and my dad's colleagues that I didn't recognize right off. Of course, they were all there to see Mariel because she is very well loved, but I had fun reconnecting with old friends too.
Panoramic view. The first version of this photo left one of my aunts with four legs. I won't say which one. You have to be careful with that panoramic iPhone feature.
As you can see, the floor at the museum is tiled and very very hard. I kicked off my high heels after about an hour.
I also ate more donuts than I'd care to admit and Jason and I had a fantastic evening. We got one quick pick with the Deans right before they headed off for their honeymoon in California.
After they departed, the rest of us made short work of the decorations, gifts, and extra food. It was weird and sad to drive home without Mariel, knowing Jason and I wouldn't see her again before we left for home. We were also all exceedingly exhausted from a long, wonderful, beautiful day, one of the best yet in the Pullan family. Congratulations Mariel and Jordan!

Police discuss dangers of online dating in light of internet sex crime investigation
JACKSONVILLE, ONSLOW COUNTY - In light of a recent Internet sex crime investigation out of Onslow County, NewsChannel 12 talked to Jacksonville Police about the dangers of online dating.
"It's so easy to put a false name in there, to download a picture and drop a picture on these sites," said Sgt. Mark Ketchum with the Jacksonville Police Department. "That's what makes it much more dangerous, if you will, for those who are trying to be legitimate, you know, because they just don't know who they're talking to."
One man contacted contacted NewsChannel 12 Friday, saying he was a victim. He said he worked up the courage to come forward after seeing the original news story on Patrick Georges' alleged sex crimes back in late December.
"As soon as I saw his face, everything flashed before my eyes...and I was a wreck," said the alleged victim, who wished to remain anonymous.
Georges, 24, already faces several charges of crimes against nature and extortion involving at least six victims. Other victims accuse Georges of posing as a woman on the dating site MeetMe.com, and luring them to his grandparents' home on King Street in Jacksonville. Victims say that once they were inside the home, Georges was the one who greeted them. They say he began to accuse them of breaking into his home and threaten to call police -- unless they performed a sex act.
Some victims admitted that they gave in to his demands, against their will, out of fear that they would get in trouble with the law.
For this particular man's case, he says Georges posed as a white man on a site called Grindr, a dating app for gay or bisexual men. He says other than that, his story matches with the other victims'.
"I really thought I had broken into this guy's home, and someone was playing a trick on me," he said. "I told him that it was a big misunderstanding. I'm just trying to leave, I meant no harm."
Jacksonville Police have an open and active investigation, and encourage those who think they might be a victim to call law enforcement. They shouldn't have to feel afraid.
"If you're done nothing wrong, you've not violated a law, if you have a reason to be where you are at, then law enforcement will merely come and clarify that," Ketchum said.
Georges remains in the Onslow County Jail with a $120,000 bond.

Dissident Deputy Premier Ah- med Ben Bella indicated his ap- iroval, although it was not dear whether the guerrillas support his quest for power. Under the leadership of Col. Si Hassan, 27, a former medical stu- dent, guerrillas in the splotched camouflage uniforms of the French army swept into the nation's capital from the outskirts in an apparent move to impose a solution in the feud between Ben Sella and moderate Premier Ben Youssef Ben Khedda. Hassan told newsmen he sought to form a junta to rule pending general elections in this newly in- dependent nation. Elections for a constituent assembly are sched- uled for Aug. 12. In talks with newsmen Saturday, Hassan said his men would not stand too long for chaos caused by political squabbling. He said he and his officers be- ar "dfrectoratiffls of itaiy until the elections are held. Hassan's forces moved into the city from WUaya 4, which sur- rounds Algiers.

'Italy deserved to reach final' - Lippi
Triumphant Italy coach Marcello Lippi tonight insisted it was his team's destiny to reach the World Cup final.
The veteran coach saw stunning strikes deep into extra-time from Fabio Grosso and Alessandro del Piero send the Italians through to Sunday's Berlin final, where they will face either Portugal or France.
The match in Dortmund against hosts Germany had looked destined for a penalty shoot-out, where Jurgen Klinsmann's team would have inevitably been favourites.
Germany have never lost on penalties in the World Cup and Italy have never won.
Italy boss Lippi said: 'These games are decided on a razor's edge. They can go back and forth so quickly.
'But if it had gone to penalties we would still have survived that as well.
'I am very happy with the performance of my team. We played well and deserved the victory.
'We controlled the game. We didn't have many chances but there were not many chances in the game.
'It would have been unjust if we had not won the game or had to go to a penalty shoot-out. We deserved to win this match. No-one can doubt that.
'We were a little better than Germany. Not that much better, but a little better. We hit the woodwork twice.
'We are happy to win such an important match against such a great team in a stadium full of 60,000 cheering German supporters.'
The statistics backed Lippi's argument. Italy dominated possession and had 10 shots on goal, compared with just two from the Germans.
Full-back Grosso scored a brilliant opener in the 119th minute and substitute Del Piero added a second with the last kick of the game.
Lippi said: 'I was sure Del Piero would make an impact on the game. I looked at him very closely. I watched him before the match and I knew he was keen.
'When I sent him on, I said to my friends on the bench he would score the decisive goal.
'He really played such an important role and decided the match.'
Defeated Klinsmann expressed 'huge pride' in his players, saying: 'To lose a game like that after 120 minutes is a huge disappointment but a huge compliment should go to the team for what they have achieved and the character they have shown.
'A big compliment too to Italy, they are in the final and good luck to them.
'That's how it goes and that's what makes football so fascinating.
'We knew that it was going to be a very, very tight game, similar to against Argentina, and we were well prepared.
'Both sides had chances, they hit the woodwork twice in extra-time and we had some good chances as well.
'It's a very young team and they did fantastically well throughout the tournament - the spirit and character they showed was amazing.
'They played tremendously, they gave all their heart, and played passionate, attacking football.
'The World Cup has been a huge success for the team and for the country and has shown a whole new German face to the world and that is something we can all be proud of.'
Lippi refused to be drawn on whether he would prefer to play Portugal or France in the final.
But the Italian admitted he will sit down and watch tomorrow's semi-final with interest.
He said: 'I would be stupid to pick one team as my favourite opponents. This would motivate the other team. We will take whoever comes along.
'We have not reached the end of the road yet. We must try to complete the task and we will wait to see who our opponents will be.'
Italy reach the final with their domestic game embroiled in allegations of corruption, just as they did when they last won the trophy in 1982.
Lippi said: 'Italian football is great football. It is very playful football but I will limit my comments to that.
'This was the match everybody wanted to see and to beat the Germans in their own backyard is amazing.
'We have already received congratulations from the Prime Minister.'
He thought the game had been won in the centre of the pitch where man of the match Andrea Pirlo and Rene Gattuso were outstanding.
Lippi said: 'We were dominant in midfield. We had superiority in midfield.
'I knew we had a great team and my players proved that tonight.
'In the final phase of the match, our play was a higher quality than the German play.
AC Milan midfielder Pirlo admitted it was a dream come true to reach the showpiece in Berlin.
Pirlo said: 'It was a fantastic match, full of emotions and a dream I have had since childhood has come true - I am to play in a World Cup final.
'We deserved to win. We created quite a few chances. Germany were lucky twice when we hit the post and the crossbar.'

The Diploma in Ethics, offered through Western University, Department of Philosophy, is being offered as a response to a wide and growing interest in the ethical dimensions of professional and public life. The purpose of this program is to enable participants to strengthen and develop their understanding of ethics so as to enhance their ability to recognize and respond to ethical issues in a wide variety of social settings. The Diploma in Ethics will educate students in the essential concepts, central issues, history, and methodologies of ethical reasoning. The program also emphasizes the development of critical thinking skills, writing skills and verbal skills. The Diploma in Ethics is a post-undergraduate program of study that may be completed full-time in one year or part-time over a number of years.
The program consists of five full-course equivalents. Students are required to complete four half courses in moral theory, moral reasoning and professional ethics. Students must also complete an additional six half course equivalents in applied ethics, political philosophy or philosophy of law. Typical course selections include business ethics, biomedical ethics, death, feminist philosophy, history of political philosophy, and environmental philosophy.
The Diploma in Ethics is open to anyone who has completed a three or four year undergraduate degree. The program is geared towards students who have degrees in subjects other than Philosophy, and thus presupposes no prior background in ethics or Philosophy. Although all eligible people are invited to apply, the Diploma in Ethics is particularly well-suited to those who are, or who intend to be, working in a profession such as law, medicine, nursing, journalism, education, engineering, government or business. The Diploma in Ethics is a program of study that may be completed full-time in one year or part-time over a number of years.
Admission Requirements
Students must have a 3 or 4 year undergraduate degree. The program is designed for students who have degrees in areas other than Philosophy. While no particular background is presupposed, Diploma students are required to have writing skills sufficiently strong to write essays at the university level.
Course Requirements
The program consists of 5.0 courses.
NOTE: All Diploma students must take 5.0 courses as outlined in the program requirements. Courses taken as part of an undergraduate degree may not count towards the fulfillment of these requirements. Students who have satisfied any of the Diploma in Ethics requirements prior to entering the Diploma in Ethics program must consult with the Department of Philosophy to make appropriate course substitutions.
Progression Requirements
A student must maintain at least a 70% average and obtain a mark of not less than 60% in each course to remain in the program.
Graduation Requirements
To qualify for the Diploma in Ethics a student must complete the prescribed program of studies with at least a 70% average and a mark of not less than 60% in each course.
How to Apply

Students who are graduates of another University must apply to Undergradaute Admissions by submitting an application form to the Ontario Universities' Application Centre in Guelph. Application deadlines are listed below.
