Glowing Crystals Create Interactive Flickering Light Fields
A Dutch design studio has created thousands of flickering crystal tokens that can be rearranged endlessly and prompt participants to think about light outside of the bulb.
CRYSTAL is an interactive light installation by Dutch design firm Studio Roosegaarde that has found a permanent home in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, after touring in Amsterdam, Paris and Moscow over the past year. The launch of the permanent exhibit on October 18th coincided with the start of Dutch Design Week 2013.
Thousands of plastic tokens resembling crystals are placed on a floor mat with a weak magnetic field, which powers two LED lights housed in the crystals. Visitors are encouraged to rearrange the stones to formulate patterns and messages, and even to steal them. Described by Daan Roosegaarde, the namesake of Studio Roosegaarde, as 'Lego from Mars', the installation certainly has an otherworldly quality, and appears every bit as tempting to play with as legos. Studio Roosegaarde will be adding more crystals each month, in varying colors and shapes, and will also publish the design plans so anyone can create pieces to add to the open-sourced light collection.
CRYSTAL is located in a dark tunnel in the recently refurbished Natlab building, the site where the first Philips lightbulb was produced and where Einstein spent time. The installation is part of the Light-S project, a project by the city of Eindoven and Park Strijp Beheer, an urban development project within the city, to explore how light influences people, space and technology and can create new experiences between them.

Arizona Sheriff Responds to Shocking Allegations
A sex scandal involving a rising star in the Republican party is a man who co-chaired Mitt Romney's campaign in Arizona.
He's a no-nonsense, tough-on-immigration sheriff... now dealing with allegations that he threatened to deport his secret ex-lover, a Mexican man.
ABC's David Kerley has the details.
This hard-charging, rising star in the Republican party has battled the Obama administration with his tough stance on immigration.
Sheriff Paul Babeu of Pinal County said, "It's time we stand up for America and our rights. It's time that we put America first."
Is now caught in a sex scandal involving a Mexican male the sheriff running for congress co-chairman of Mitt Romney's Arizona campaign.
Until pictures were printed in a newspaper, with allegations that the sheriff allegedly threatened to deport this Mexican man if he revealed
their sexual relationship.
Babeu said, "I'm here to say all these allegations that were in one of these newspapers are absolutely, completely, false."
Then in this extraordinary press conference, this admission...
Babeu said, "Except for the issues that refer to me as being gay. Cause that's the truth. I am gay."
That revelation sent shock waves not just through the sheriff's county, but also national politics. Within hours of the allegations of a threat the sheriff resigned from his position with the Romney campaign.
With Romney celebrating the 10 anniversary of the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, his campaign released a statement within minutes:
"Sheriff Babeu has stepped down from his volunteer position with the campaign so he can focus on the allegations against him. We support his decision."
The Sheriff doesn't not deny a relationship with the Mexican man who worked on his campaign, but he plans to fight the other charges.
Babeu said, "And a lot of people have reached out to me already friends and voters, supporters and said sheriff, this changes nothing. that who you are I know you personally, I know your performance and I value and appreciate who you are."
Not only will he fight the allegations, the sheriff says he will continue his campaign for congress.

FS: Titanium Silver Trim Set + Non sport Dove Grey seats
All of this is from my 02 325Ci.
Currently I'm missing the smallest piece of the dash, but I have it, and I'm looking for it throughout the week. It can't have gone far.
The set is in basically perfect condition. There's literally one scratch on the whole thing, on the drivers side. Pics included.
Looking to sell the whole set, but if I really can't find that last piece, I'll part out. Willing to cut the price a little because of the missing piece. I'm hoping it'll turn up soon though.
There's that missing piece; I know it's nearby:
The only scratches on the whole set:
I switched to M seats so now my old manual ones are for sale. Dove Grey, in near excellent condition. Slight wear on the sides, and a small (like, hardly bigger than a quarter) sized "water" stain on the passenger seat. Not noticeable.
These aren't the exact seats, but I'll get pics this weekend when I'm home which is where they're stored. If you have inquiries, please PM me.
Just make me an offer. Hesitant to ship the seats, so...I'm in NC. Local would be nice. Or nearby.
As for the trim, shipping is around $25-40. Keep that in mind if you offer. Looking for at least $200. But try me. Need to sell ASAP.
Hi, do you have pictures of the actual seats that you could post, or send to me?
Very interested.
Thank you, Mike
Trim is sold; seats are still up for grabs. NEED TO SELL THEM!
do you still have these?
What all is required to switch out the pieces? I have the wood grain trim. but it's all cracked up. I have a silver car with black leather, and I think the silver trim would look sharp.
Let me know. I also need the leather wrapped elbow rests... do you have those?
nevermind... I just say where you posted that the trim is sold.
Sorry, just saw trim is sold,

Cro Cop in Dream
I was wondering who Crocop is going to have face in dream. The only person that comes to mind for me is Alistair Overreem, but judging by crocop not wanting to fight Cain Velazquez i doubt that he is gonna wanna get in there with Overreem anytime soon. What other heavyweights are there that would fight him in dream?
Well if he is under contract with Dream that means he can fight in other orgs outside of Japan. That would open a whole window of endless op.. But another Mark Hunt bout would be nice.. Not to mention the whole list of stateside boys that could make a awesome bout. AA , TImmy , Fedor , Barnett , Buentello and so on..
He's in the UFC now isn't he? :confused02:
Aww man! I wanted to see him avenge his past losses.
I still don't think it's true I want to hear this from Dana and Cro Cop we need both sides.
Hey, UFCFAN, you can change your sig now, Cro Cop just came back :D
Out of the contenders that have been listed i think most of them would own crocop at this point in his career. If the stories about him not wanting to fight cain and overreem are true then i dont see him taking fights against aa, buentello, barnett, or fedor. It does kinda seem like he wants to fight cans lately and doesnt want any kind of challenge. Maybe im reading to much into it.
Cro Cop back to UFC
Well Cro Cop is back in the UFC now so this discussion is pretty mute.
Yeah it seems that his signing with DREAM was a rumor, and nothing more.

New series features history of Dillon, the dam and more
July 19, 2012
The Summit Historical Society began a new summer talk and tour program this week that will run every Thursday morning through the rest of the season. The program, which begins at 10 a.m. at the Dillon Schoolhouse, will take a closer look at the Dillon Dam, reservoir, tunnel and the history of the town.
"There is a great deal of interest in doing historic tours of the lake; this is another option people can do since the boat tours fill up so quickly," Summit Historical Society administrator Linda Kelly said.
The historical talk is based on Sandra Mather's book, "Dillon, Denver, and the Dam." Mather, who hosts the weekly programs, will talk about the history then lead the group on a walking tour of new Dillon to highlight some of the buildings that were moved from old Dillon.
Dillon, both the new and old, has seen a lot of change since the turn of the century. As early as 1913, the city and county of Denver began buying water rights west of the Continental Divide. On May 13, 1923, the commissioners filed a Blue River water diversion project. Four years later, the plan included a dam over the Blue River and a 23.3-mile-long tunnel.
Denver chose the Blue River Valley for the reservoir we know today because of its location. Besides the confluence of the three streams and the constriction of the valley north of old Dillon, the site offered a huge catchment area with gravity flow through the tunnel.
With the new changes and construction, residents of old Dillon had to vacate their homes and transfer their lives to new Dillon – a place completely different from old Dillon at the time.
Old Dillon knew its place in the county: agricultural town, a watering hole for cowboys and a transportation center. New Dillon had to find its place.
Learn more about how new Dillon found its place in Summit County Thursday mornings at the Dillon Schoolhouse. It is $5 to attend and the proceeds go directly to the Summit County Historical Society. No reservations are required.

advice on buying a new wk2
been trolling for a while with a few occasional posts.
Decided on a wk2 overland 4x4, v8, off road adv II.
i want the 2012 with the 6sp.
invoice comes in at 44,091
USAA buying program gets me the ability to pre order at 42,500 (1591 under invoice). I am also a member of AAA, Costco, amex, etc.
Thinking mineral gray (PDM) in black. Leaning towards the lifetime warranty for about 2,100 per what i see on our forum.
First new car in 14 years, I have been driving a 97 LR Discovery, so i am a novice at this.
Any advice? Be it in negotiations (price), or the car i have picked out. Any one have that interior/ext color combo, etc.
Any help appreciated.
Probably pulling the trigger Monday or tuesday. It looks like the process is i lock down on the price, sign a few docs and leave a .5-1k deposit and wait.
Re: advice on buying a new wk2
Your invoice price is $43,266. Your total invoice you have shown in your post has destination added in twice. The INVOICE pricing shown at wk2jeeps INCLUDES desitination charge. (It's the retail price that has to have destination added to it).
Great color combo by the way. I will probably be getting black esterior and black interior myself, but that's because I've been wanting to get a black one for so long even though the mineral gray is so nice it's really going to make it tough for me to stick to my plan of getting a black one.
Re: advice on buying a new wk2
Re: advice on buying a new wk2
yeah, the websites still list 2011. I went to the dealer, they build the build for msrp and fwp (invoice) and we went from there...
thanks for the advice on the destination fees
Re: advice on buying a new wk2
Re: advice on buying a new wk2
Not sure what ACC is, other than a lousy sports conference :)
Yes,there was no charge for the 730 radio in my build, its now std. The only charges above and beyond the base overland 4x4, WKJS74 (40,426) was 1,954 for the EZH V8 and 886 for the AWY ORAIIG (which i still don't get, thats 3x more money than last year, yet it looks like the same package)...oh, and the 825 in destination fees that someone mentioned i shouldn't include...which brings you to the total invoice price of 44,091.
Re: advice on buying a new wk2
Re: advice on buying a new wk2
The off road adventure price confuses me as well. Apparently the same pkg as last year, but the price sky rocketed. I have posted a thread about it on our site, but got no answers. I have called a few dealerships and jeep themselves, and no one can explain the price to me either. But i have gotten two build sheets from different dealers, and that 995 msrp (886 invoice) price does appear for the AWY off road II pkg on v8 overlands on both of them...which is consistent with what w2kjeeps has as well. Looking at the w2kjeeps site, i see that the price is 275 if you get the pkg as well as the summit version of overland...which confuses me even more.
not that i think its relevant, but my builds were for a v8, 24p, while your attachment was for a v6, 26p....
Re: advice on buying a new wk2
Right but the V6 vs. V8 should have nothing to do with it. The Overland 4X4 comes standard with Quadra Lift. If you look at Limiteds, there is a Off Road Group I and II. The 4X4 Overlands include Quadra lift already so it doesn't make sense. The 2012 sticker I showed shows $275 for the Off Road Adventure Group II. It wouldn't make any sense that the V6 Off Road Adventure Group II would cost less than the V8 Off Road Adventure Group II..the V8 is a separate option....I really hope someone in the know can weigh in on this! I was leaning toward picking up a 2012 but with a $1620 price difference already (base price increase from pre 2 May 11 builds and destination increase along with the $1K incentive) it would grow another $720 if the offroad group II is really $995 vs. $275 in the 2011s. Uggh.
Re: advice on buying a new wk2
I hear you,i am in the same position
It makes no sense

Jennifer Lopez remembers the days when her record label budgeted $1 million for one of her music videos. Today, she's attempting to create the same magic with one-tenth of the money.
The entrepreneur says being a singer has been "challenging" since she debuted on the pop scene in the late 1990s, dominating the charts with back-to-back hits while becoming a driving force on other entertainment platforms.
"It used to be like this big magical world, almost like Oz, when you'd make a record," the 44-year-old says. "[It] was like anything was possible."
Lopez, who released her eighth album, "A.K.A.," on Tuesday, says the music industry no longer feels like Oz.

"Fully loaded…"
Film Synopsis:
Director Robert Rodriguez (Sin City) is back with a rip-roaring, zombie-infested rollercoaster of a movie. Rose McGowan, Freddy Rodriguez, Bruce Willis, and an all-star cast fight for their lives in the ultimate showdown between an army of flash-eating mutants and a motley group of rag-tag survivors. Featuring one of the most memorable screen heroines ever and the now legendary mock Machete trailer.
My Take:
Before offering my feelings on this film I wanted to summarize a description that I found at Wikipedia as I think it offers brief but pertinent info:
"Planet Terror is a 2007 film written and directed by Robert Rodriguez, about a group of people attempting to survive an onslaught of zombie-like creatures as they feud with a military unit, including a go-go dancer searching for a way to implement her "useless talents". The film is a tribute to the zombie film genre and was released theatrically in the United States as part of a double feature with Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof under the title Grindhouse in order to replicate the experience of viewing exploitation films in a "grindhouse" theater."
I really like the whole Grindhouse concept. I had seen the trailer for Grindhouse while at the theater but I don't recall ever seeing it playing locally. From what I remembered it looked interesting but was never really on my radar after that. This is not a film that should be taken literally. Its intent, in my opinion, is to be over the top, gory and satirical in its homage to zombie flicks. I think it maintains a level of control with respect to its action based elements which made it fun for me. I don't consider myself a fan of zombie movies per se but this was a bit different. The "sickos" were infected by a chemical agent that turned them into puss oozing, crazed, flesh eaters who died when they were shot. This gave it a bit more of a sci-fi/horror feel. I liked the presence of the strong female characters that were not afraid to kick butt and take names. I am not so sure that Freddy Rodriguez was the right choice to play the "Badass". I just didn't find him to be credible as the "I never miss" tough guy with the kind of reputation that is spoken of in whispers and given legend status. His presence certainly didn't detract from the film though. Rose McGowan, where did SHE come from? Honestly I have never seen her in anything else but it was hard to focus on anyone else if she was in the frame. I loved the machine gun leg. I watched chapter 26 (when she gets the machine gun prosthetic) three times in a row. I enjoyed the entire third act and thought it was easily the best part of the movie. There are several high profile cameo roles that lend support to the main players but this script keeps things pretty simple which under the circumstances is fine. I thought things moved along nicely and stayed on point. There was plenty of action and enough emphasis on the gory details to keep thrills and suspense brewing. This is probably not a film for everyone because if looked at in the wrong context it would probably be considered silly. However, if you leave the word literal at the door and bring your imagination with you I bet you will have a good time on Planet Terror.

Planet Terror comes to Blu-ray Disc featuring 1080p AVC (original version) and VC-1 (scratch free version) encoded video that both have an average bitrate of approximately 19 mbps and lossless Dolby TrueHD 5.1 channel audio (original version) that has an average bitrate of 3.7 mbps and lossy Dolby Digital 5.1 channel audio (scratch free version) that has a constant bitrate of 640 kbps.
I watched the original version during my evaluation and only checked out select portions of the scratch free version. This presentation utilizes a stylized look that is intended to create an aging film effect by using a layering process to introduce the appearance of print damage that comes in the form of speckles, scratches running lines and obvious editing cuts. Dynamic lighting is also used to enhance the effect during certain segments. Grain is intact, and it appears as though differing film stock is used during certain segments as grain is moderate in some cases and heavier in others. It works toward promoting the film's intended look and seems dependent on the story's course. The color palette isn't extensive and makes use of darker tones which matches the theme of the movie. Red is used in several shades and stands out quite nicely against the other colors within the film's range. The filtering and lighting used tended to water down fleshtones however they didn't appear unnatural. Blacks had good dynamic range while being slightly crushed. Shadow delineation was decent which allowed me to discern enough detail within objects in dark backgrounds to give those sequences ample depth. I didn't detect any obvious signs of video related anomalies but due to the nature of the video it wasn't always easy to tell. Resolution and sharpness were very good overall and the video had appreciable dimensional depth and resolvable detail. The nature of the photography doesn't lend itself to glossy, vibrant, imagery that jump off of the screen but I think the look works well within the parameters of the director's vision. The scratch free version is devoid of the earlier mentioned processes and has a more conventional look. My comments regarding clarity, blacks/shadow detail and artifacts are essentially the same. Quite honestly I preferred the look of the original version. There was nothing overtly wrong with the scratch free version but its smooth wrinkle free texture didn't have appeal of the original. This is probably only because I watched the original first and became accustomed to it. I think it was a great idea to include both versions which gives viewers a choice.
The lossless Dolby TrueHD audio featured extended dynamics and tight, punchy bass that augmented the films action sequences. Dialogue was clearly rendered and articulated through the center channel. I thought it could have been a bit more prominent within the front soundstage but that didn't inhibit perception in any way. The presentation leaned more toward the front with the surrounds providing directional support to broaden the depth of explosions, gunfire and background auditory elements. Sound effects had excellent dynamic energy and descriptive sonic detail. Robert Rodriguez' simple yet engaging music had a nice hard rock edge that was highlighted by the power of the electric guitar and smooth tone of the saxophone. I was impressed by the track's well defined bass, that never achieved demonstration like depth, but easily reached deep into the room to underscored the low frequency detail present in the mix. Its presence was never in question as it struck quickly and subtly fell back below the surface. I think a bit more surround activity would have better integrated the front and rear soundstages. This is a minor complaint though. I am guessing that this probably closely matches the theatrical presentation which falls in line with the source material and subsequently the director's intention.
** Sony PS3 users should note that this film wouldn't load on its own in my PS3. Once I placed it in the unit I just got a black screen. I hit the Top Menu button on the remote and it then loaded just fine. I have the latest firmware release installed on my PS3. FYI.**

Final Thoughts:
Planet Terror isn't your everyday run of the mill action flick or zombie movie. It is a fresh take on each genre that requires the audience to look beyond the boundaries of what is the norm. If you keep it in perspective its easy to look past the otherwise weaker aspects of its story and simply sit back and enjoy the ride. The Weinstein Company has impressed me with the quality of their Blu-ray Disc releases. This is another quality disc that delivers excellent lossless sound and visually rewarding images. The bonus content is entertaining and even includes an additional version of the film as well as BD-Live access. I would recommend a rental prior to purchase for those who are curious. I am sure that fans already have it pre-ordered so 'nuff said.

BTW when you got the black screen, how long was it for? I only say because when playing WALL-E it said the screen may go black while the disc checks for on-line extras.
Maybe the waring was omitted on the Planet Terror disc.
Too long and it only happened with the PS3. My Panasonic BD55 loaded it right up..

The whole film was shot digitally, so there wasn't any film stock used, all the grain is artificial. How heavy it is was just how much they wanted simulated in post-production.

I'm assuming the question had to do with the other three so-far-unreleased trailers that served as a sort of intermission between Planet Terror and Death Proof -- Don't, Thanksgiving Day (?), and (best of all) Werewolf Women of the SS (hysterical). I don't think they've shown up in any home video form.
The TrueHD track was very effective, while the look was great and enhanced the overall cheesy feeling.
I have Death Proof sitting here, looking forward to it.
Thanks Ralph.

I'm tempted to place the head on a drill press and drill the holes out. Doesn't look too hard and would not affect anything as the holes are very shallow.
You can wait for your gasket and, if it does not have the nipples, then no work is needed. If it does have the nipples, then I agree with you that drilling the holes with a press should do the trick since you have the old head to go by (regarding diameter and depth of the holes). Just make sure you don't get any shavings in the new head. This will save you from having to order another gasket which, if Murphy is looking over your shoulder, may very well be the incorrrect one as well.
Most problems are usually something simple !

FLORENCE, S.C. – For the second consecutive week, Francis Marion University senior libero Kelsie Deaton has been named the Peach Belt Conference Volleyball Specialist of the Week, this time for the week ending Oct. 24. Overall, it is the third straight week a Patriot player has earned this honor.
Deaton, a native of Martinsville, Ind., averaged 6.87 digs per set in four matches last week, while compiling a .961 reception percentage.
She set a career high with 45 digs in a close five-set loss to Palm Beach Atlantic University on Friday at the Pacer Invitational Tournament. The total was only one dig shy of the school record and was the seventh highest match total in Peach Belt Conference history.
She tallied 26 digs in a victory over Davis & Elkins College and recorded 20 digs against King College. She began the week with a 12-dig performance on the road at UNC Pembroke.
She is now ranked second in the PBC in digs per set at 5.14.
Deaton has 10 matches this season with 20 or more digs, and 27 in her career. For her career, she has 1,768 digs, and has moved up three positions into fourth on the Peach Belt's all-time list. She is second on the FMU career list behind Jessica Strader (2003-06), who dug up 2,248 balls.
The 14-12 Patriots will travel across Interstate 20 to play at the University of Montevallo on Sunday at 2 p.m.
Deaton is a former All-Conference performer at Martinsville High School, where as a junior she helped lead MHS to the 4A state championship.

Note 3.
Dr. Frank Davis
Because of his expertise and knowledge he generously offers the insect-rearing world, the IBBA is fortunate to have Dr. Davis as an Advisor. Dr. Davis was keynote speaker at the IBBA's 2006 Annual Convention in Monterey, California. Dr. Davis has tailored a special insect pathology service for butterfly rearers to identify the parasites associated with butterfly farming.
Dr. Frank Davis was born and raised in The Mississippi Delta on a farm. At the age of 25 he received his Ph.D. and took a position as a research entomologist with the United States Department of Agriculture/Agriculture Research Service in Starkville, the home of MSU. He was assigned to the Corn Insect Pest Group.
He worked as the entomologist on a team with plant breeders and plant pathologists to identify and develop corn/maize germplasm with insect and microbial resistance for 35 years (retiring at the end of 1999).
To be successful in identifying and developing insect resistant plants, they needed a consistent source of the insect(s) to artificially infest each plant in the pre-selected growth stage with the insect's eggs or neonates so that all plants in an experiment had the same opportunity to be heavily damaged. So, in the latter half of the 1960's, Dr. Davis began to develop a facility design and system for rearing the southwestern corn borer, a pyralid moth. Back in those days, he designed this facility and then with the help of his technician and some students, they built it.
Dr. Davis says, "This started my insect rearing ventures. In those first years I/we learned about rearing by obtaining a degree from the "University of Hard Knocks". We fell in many pot holes of rearing from diet contamination by microbes to suffering the consequenses of environmental equipment failures. However, I was determined along with some talented and devoted technicians and students to make continued improvements to our rearing system so that we could successfully rear the number of quality insects needed for research in a timely fashion at the lowest possible cost."
In the 1970s they added the fall worm (a noctuid moth) to the rearing and then in the 1980s, they added the cotton bollworm and the tobacco budworm (both noctuid moths). At this point they needed to develop equipment for reducing the amount of hand labor in the rearing system.
They successfully did this plus we worked out solutions to problems within the system that needed fixing. Dr. Davis says "Today, I am proud to say that we have one of the best rearing systems for a mid-sized program (thousands of adults per week per species reared) in the world. It is a model system that many laboratories have adopted for rearing their lepidopterans."
After retirement in 1999, Dr. Davis asked MSU to convert his adjunct professor status within the Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology to an emeritus status. They did and he began to plant the seed for developing some formal education for the world wide insect rearing community.
Well, the seed sprouted in 2000 when Dr. Davis and his colleagues sponsored two workshops titled "Principles and Procedures of Rearing Quality Insects".
Important Note About Dr. Davis:
Dr. Davis was given the Fellow Award, the highest award presented by the Entomological Society of America. This award has been given to only 191 scientists since 1934.
Note 4.
Harry Pavuulan
Dr. Pavulaan has performed the most comprehensive field research on Rhode Island butterflies and has now brought forth his findings both for the enjoyment of serious butterfly enthusiasts as well as for the scientific entomological community. He brings to light the purest statistics on species biology, markings, distribution, host plants, flight patterns and other facts, including all known English and Latin names for each studied butterfly.
Dr. Pavulaan has written numerous technical papers and articles, and authored the Virginia Butterfly Atlas and has contributed much to Butterflies of North America and the Atlas of Eastern Butterflies. Dr. Pavulaan reviews and writes articles that pertain to raising and releasing butterflies.

The B.C. teachers union is seeking guidance from its members as the government tries to secure an unprecedented 10-year labour contract.
The 41,000 members of the British Columbia Teachers' Federation are being asked: "Do you support our bargaining team and their efforts to achieve a negotiated settlement, and oppose any government interference into the bargaining process?"
Local union offices are running the vote, collecting ballots across the province online and in traditional voting boxes. The vote was announced Wednesday and concludes Friday.
BCTF president Jim Iker said the union decided this week to call the vote after the government said it wanted to end current talks and launch them later with a new focus on a 10-year deal.
He said the government on Wednesday had inexplicably resumed bargaining on unresolved issues that don't include the proposed decade-long agreement.
The union thought it important, he said, to give members an opportunity to express their views on the fluid situation.
Asked what impact the vote might have, he said: "We always listen to our members and adjust to what our members say. We're a very democratic organization."
The developments came after Education Minister Peter Fassbender sought a pause in the bargaining process so both sides could develop a "road map" to negotiate the decade-long agreement Premier Christy Clark has touted as a means of bringing labour stability to the school system.
It was a key plank in the B.C. Liberal platform in the May election campaign that saw the party win a fourth consecutive majority.
"I think whatever feedback they get will guide their discussions but it will also help us in terms of maybe some of the hurdles we have to overcome," Mr. Fassbender told reporters in Victoria when asked about the unexpected vote.
The BCTF has been opposed to a 10-year deal, citing concerns from members. Mr. Fassbender said rejection of the proposal now would be premature and won't dissuade the government. "What they need to do is be patient, allow their leadership to sit down with us in a spirit of co-operation and collaboration, and let us go back and tell them what a long-term deal looks like," he said.
Mr. Fassbender wouldn't say if anything less than a ten-year deal might be possible. "If I speculate on anything less than a 10-year goal that we set out, then I'm already starting to back off. I don't think this is the time."Report Typo/Error

Results: Cage Warriors 65
To the surprise of many, five-time UFC veteran John Maguire was upset by healthy underdog Saul Rogers (pictured) after three rounds of closely contested action in the Cage Warriors 65 headliner.
The event, which streamed on MMAjunkie from The Helix in Dublin, saw the significantly younger and less experienced Rogers (8-1) hold his own and more against Maguire (19-7) to take a unanimous decision victory, and the most notable win of his young career.
Maguire expected his winning streak and subsequent climb back to the UFC's octagon to take another positive step forward against Rogers, but that obviously didn't go as planned. The 24-year-old Rogers stayed away from the dangerous submissions of "The One" when he needed to and patiently waited for his moments to attack.
With the loss, Maguire drops to a dismal 1-4 in his past five fights, while Rogers recorded his second consecutive victory under the Cage Warriors banner.
After seeing his UFC career fizzle due to consecutive losses, Ben Alloway (13-5) got back on track in his return to Cage Warriors with a decision victory over a game Jack Mason (26-13) in the co-main event. It wasn't the most thrilling contest on the card, but it was a meaningful bout for both men as they are trying to enter the crowded welterweight title picture. That made a victory on paramount.
Fortunately for Alloway, his striking and grappling were just a little more on point than Mason for two of the three rounds, and that's what got him a victory. There weren't many memorable moments in the fight, but Alloway has to be satisfied with his performance seeing as it earned him his first victory since December 2012.
Artem Lobov (8-8) tried to goad Alex Enlund (10-2) into a standup fight with some pre-fight banter, however, once the actual contest began, it was evident no such thing was going to take place.
Enlund relentlessly pursued the takedown from the opening bell and after a brief struggle, the grappling specialist got the fight where he wanted. Once Enlund had an advantageous position over Lobov on the ground it was just a matter of time until the fight-ending submission was locked in.
The 26-year-old got his arm under the neck with relative ease for a rear-naked choke, but instead of tapping out, Lobov opted to go to sleep, giving Enlund the ninth submission victory of his young career.
Damien Rooney (10-3-1) impressed in his Cage Warriors debut with a second-round submission victory over Bryan Creighton (5-2) that showed a little bit of everything in his game.
The story of the fight was the power of the short and stocky Creighton against the tricky height and length of Rooney. Ultimately, the latter proved more successful as Rooney stayed on the outside and wisely picked his shots from the outside when the fight was on the feet and was always looking to attack on the ground.
Rooney was always doing his best to finish the fight and in the second round he locked in a triangle choke from bottom position that forced Creighton to tap out in MMA competition for the first time.
For the first time in his career, Paul Redmond (9-4) was forced to go past the second round and to the final bell when he defeated an extremely game Damian Brown (10-6) by decision in an entertaining affair.
It was an extremely high paced, back-and-forth 15-minute affair that would test the endurance of even the most well trained fighter. Redmond proved he able to not only go the distance, but he can do it while going full throttle for the entire fight.
The bout with Brown was contested almost entirely on the ground, as the sweeps, transitions and submission attempts came in waves. While neither man was able to finish the fight, there was nothing to be discouraged about for either after the effort put forth in the cage.
Philip Mulpeter (7-4) may have come up short in the most high-profile bout of his career against John Maguire last year, but on Saturday "The Honey Badger" showed that loss has only made him better as he came out and ran through Aldric Cassata (7-6).
Cassata had nothing to offer his Irish counterpart beyond takedown attempts, and once it was evident Mulpeter could avoid being held on the ground, his confidence bolstered and eventually the finish came. A big knee to the body followed by an assault of ground-and-pound produced the fight-ending stoppage form the referee.
While his record is far from consistent, Mulpeter's knockout of Cassata was a perfect example of what he's capable of when he's at his best.

* TSX rises 11.19 points, or 0.09 percent, to 12,878.35
* Half of the TSX's 10 main groups gain
TORONTO, Feb 18 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index edged higher on Thursday, sustaining a six-week high, as consumer and telecom stocks made modest gains, while shares in energy companies pulled back despite a further rise in crude oil prices.
The most influential movers on the index included Canadian Tire Corp, which advanced 6.4 percent to C$123.97 after its earnings beat expectations despite a slip in revenue. .
The consumer groups were higher, with staples up 0.9 percent and discretionary gaining 0.4 percent, while telecom stocks added 0.8 percent.
The country's largest wireless provider, Rogers Communications Inc, rose 1.1 percent to C$49.25.

Oatmeal Lemon Cookies are light and crispy. Forget about try to eat just one.
So I thought I was about lemoned out and had shared enough lemon recipes with you but then the Oregonian went and put a recipe for Oatmeal Lemon Cookies in the FoodDay section last week and I knew I had to try it!
I had a group of women from church coming over one evening last week to make these fun headbands and these cute headbands and I figured it was the perfect opportunity to give the cookies a try.
Oatmeal and lemon is not a combination I usually put together but it works! The recipe is similar to a cookie that was available at the Portland Art Museum . The author of the article (sorry I don't have their name – I cut out the recipe but that was it) had this to say about their experience with the cookies nearly twenty years ago:
"I don't remember the exhibits, but I'll never forget those elegant cookies. Their elusive, lemony flavor makes them the ideal accompaniment to an evening's dessert, such as fresh fruit, ice cream or sorbet."
The cookie would also make a perfect tea time cookie. It makes a light, crisp delicate cookie.
The recipe tells you to lightly flatten the cookies but I must have made mine too big because this is what happened.
So with the next batch I decided to use my smaller cookie scoop and not flatten them and it worked better.
The cookies were a hit with the women and I will definitely be making them again!
- 1 cup flour
- ¾ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 C unsalted butter ( 2 sticks)
- 1⅓ C granulated sugar, divided
- 1 tsp lemon extract
- Grated zest from 1 medium lemon
- 1½ C old-fashioned oatmeal, uncooked
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Into a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt.
- In a stand mixer set on low speed, beat the butter and 1 cup sugar until creamy and light in color, 4 to 5 minutes, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl as necessary.
- On medium speed, add the lemon extract and zest and beat until blended.
- Slowly add the flour mixture, beating on low until blended.
- Add the oatmeal and beat until blended
- Using a tablespoon measure, scoop out some dough and roll it between your hands to form a ball (if the dough sticks to your hands, keep a bowl of cold water nearby and occasionally dip your hands in, shaking off the excess)
- Place the cookies, 2½ inches apart on the baking sheet.
- Place the reserved ⅓ cup sugar in a small bowl alongside another small bowl filled with water.
- Lightly dip the bottom of a flat glass in the water and then in sugar.
- Lightly flatten each cookie, refreshing the glass with every one or two cookies.
- Bake until the tops are just golden, about 12 minutes.
- Let the cookies firm and cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a rack to cool completely.
- Makes about 2½ dozen cookies

Thought I would kick things off with a video for ya, where I recommend some awesome books as possible Christmas gifts for the book lover in your life.

Miranda Kerr, Victoria's Secret Fabulous Collection launch, February 2013
Summer might officially be over in Australia so that means there's all the more reason to wear bright, sunshiney colours. There's something about yellow in particular that lifts one spirits. It's not a colour that everybody can pull off, it's not for the sallow among us. But those who can, please do. Miranda Kerr, obviously really, is a perfect fit for yellow. Her simple silky one-shouldered number with the flared sleeve not only matches the bras behind her, but is bright and sophisticated. Paired with the blue shoes and the red lip, it's a fresh and vibrant party look.

As the Vikings begin to evaluate their free agents and those from other teams, their assessments go well beyond the simple statistical lines.
The biggest names in the business aren't always the best fits. Schemes play a factor – a 3-4 linebacker won't do much good for the Vikings, and they need their cornerbacks to be physical and willing tacklers – and the coaching staff is always asked to define the characteristics of the ideal player at a position.
Vikings defensive end Jared Allen mentioned several times during the course of the season the chemistry he felt in the locker room in 2012. It was an interesting mix, too, because many long-time veterans were let go and an infusion of youth entered the building. The Vikings had 16 draft picks over the last two years and 35 players total that were on their season-ending roster for 2012 that weren't part of the Vikings at the end of 2010.
Figuring out how a new addition fits into the chemistry of the locker room is an important factor, general manager Rick Spielman said.
"That's part of the process of putting a football team together, too. Those are the things that when you bring guys in – and we are with this young nucleus of players and the type of players they are – you want to try to blend that chemistry so it's the same coming in," Spielman said. "How Chad Greenway evolved into where he's one of our core leaders, not only a great football player for us but a core leader. Now you look at a Harrison Smith and some of these rookies … Rhett Ellison where he fits all those similar characteristics that we want to build this team with.
"I think because of that and that chemistry in the locker room, that can get you through when we did have our dip and went through that adversity during the season. If you don't have all those high-character guys down in that locker room, it could very easily have gone the other way."
Kevin Williams has just about seen it all. He was part of the team during the so-called "Love Boat" scandal. He went through the firings of Mike Tice and Brad Childress as head coaches. He suffered through the tease of the 2009 NFC Championship Game. And he has been a staple in the locker room through the ensuing rebuilding of the team.
He now has seniority on the team, the only player left from the 2003 version of the Vikings, but despite a movement toward youth, he believes the organization is headed in the right direction.
"I think we're on the right track," Williams said. "To bring in the young guys we did and mix them in with the older guys, I think we had good success and can keep building. If we come in next year and bomb I think we'll all be disappointed. We want to build from that and I think we're on the right track."
The Vikings were the fourth-youngest team to start the 2012 season, but Spielman made the decision to keep around certain veterans. Tight end Jim Kleinsasser retired, and offensive linemen Steve Hutchinson and Anthony Herrera, along with CB Cedric Griffin were released. Some veteran leadership was needed, and now Spielman is left to make some more decisions with his veterans.
Williams, a 10-year veteran of the league, has two more years left on his contract and will cost $7.5 million against the 2013 salary cap. Antoine Winfield, entering his 15th season, will also count more than $7 million against the cap. And Jared Allen, entering his 10th NFL season, is scheduled to have about a $17 million cap charge in 2013. It's Spielman who has to weigh the value of veteran leadership versus big contracts.
"That's extremely hard, because there's a lot of value to that leadership and a lot of value to the character, especially to (Winfield and Williams)," Spielman said when asked about those two players specifically. "When you go through the whole process and start putting the pieces together, are there ways to keep them there? Should we keep them there? Do we try to renegotiate? Do you let them play out their deal? So there are a lot of different ways, and those are the decisions that we are going to have to make. But you still have to go out there and perform and play."
The Vikings finished the 2012 season with eight free agents on the roster. They hit on fullback Jerome Felton, who signed a one-year contract, helped lead the way for Adrian Peterson's 2,000-yard season, and made the Pro Bowl. They missed on tight end John Carlson, who signed a five-year, $25 million contract and had only eight catches.
"We've got a great GM in Rick Spielman. He obviously brought some guys in this year that helped us win a lot of games, and that's going to continue to help us win," Peterson said. "So I feel like they'll make the right adjustments, ranking the right people to continue and lead us in the direction we're headed."
Spielman indicated the Vikings would take a measured approach to free agency again this year and continue forward with his philosophy of mainly try to build the roster through the draft and re-sign the players he knows best "unless something unique out there happens."
"You never know," he said, "but we'll always have our radar up for anything unique that could eventually happen. But we'll take the same approach as we did last year."

LONDON – Britain's Man Booker Prize announced on Wednesday that it was expanding to cover all novels written in the English language, meaning American authors will be eligible for the first time.
The £50,000 ($80,000) Booker prize has until now been awarded annually for the best work of fiction by an author from Britain, Ireland or the Commonwealth.
"The expanded prize will recognize, celebrate and embrace authors writing in English, whether from Chicago, Sheffield or Shanghai," said Jonathan Taylor, chairman of the Booker Prize Foundation.
The change will come into effect for the 2014 award.
Novels must still have been published in Britain and entered by their British publisher, Taylor said. The prize is awarded to a specific book, rather than an author.
Previous winners of the Booker, one of the world's richest literary prizes, include English novelist Hilary Mantel, Australian author Peter Carey and the South African J.M. Coetzee.
The Booker has long held out from recognizing American authors, fearing that the powerful U.S. literary scene, backed by wealthy academia and creative writing programs, would swamp the output from the rest of the world.
