Local medical marijuana users fear new legislation that limits home growing

Patients who rely on medical marijuana may find it more difficult to get after the federal government announced major changes to the existing system.
Winnipegger Steven Stairs relies on the drug to treat his glaucoma and relieve his pain, and he's one of 26,000 Canadians with a license to grow medical marijuana.
Under proposed changes to existing regulations, those Canadians will no longer be able to grow their own pot.
Canada's Minister of Health, Leona Aglukkaq, said recently, "Current medical marijuana regulations have left the system open to abuse."
Under new regulations, the Canadian government and individual growers will no longer be able to produce their own pot. Instead, private companies will produce the marijuana and sell it to patients. The changes are aimed at reducing crime, but opponents believe it will drive more people to the black market.
"They're making it harder for people to get the medicine they need, and it's going to mean more and more profits in the hands of organized crime," said Mark Calderaro of the Carleton University Young Liberals.
The proposed changes will also mean higher costs for patients.
That, according to Stairs, is concerning for people who rely on medical marijuana.
"A lot of people who are using medical marijuana are disabled," said Stairs. "They have a lower income earning ratio already."
The federal government is planning on implementing the new system by March 31, 2014.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a method for operating a computer system to perform date operations, and more particularly, to a method for operating a computer system to accurately perform date operations spanning centuries.
2. Description of the Related Art
Most existing computer application software treats a date in a format similar to "MM/DD/YY" or "YY/DDD," using 2 digits of a 4 digit year number, resulting in 2 digit year numbers. For example, the year 1998 is input, stored, processed and displayed as "98". However, starting at the year 2000, this treatment will cause problems because "00" could be interpreted as either "1900" or "2000," and, for example, the length of a period from 1998 to 2000 could be negative if 98 is subtracted from 2000. This problem is known as the "Year 2000 (Y2K) Problem" in the industry, and has been considered a crisis.
Several inventions attempt to solve the Y2K problem by providing complex and expensive computer programs. A discussion of related, representative art follows.
One such invention is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,289,393 which issued to S. Kaya on Feb. 22, 1994. This invention is a portable electronic apparatus having a calendar feature which stores the year in 4 digits.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,600,836 which issued to H. Alter on Feb. 4, 1997, discloses a system and method for processing date-dependent information which spans one or two centuries. The invention includes time change interfaces that convert date data from local time to zone time so that all of the dates are in one century, as well as a method of converting from zone time back to local time.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,630,118 which issued to D. P. Shaughnessy on May 13, 1997, discloses a system and method for modifying and operating a computer system to perform date operations on date fields spanning centuries. The system comprises a subroutine that determines which dates within the program correspond to specified date criteria and performs a date operation on the date field.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,644,762 which issued to T. B. Soeder on May 14, 1996, discloses a method and apparatus for recording and reading date data having coexisting formats. The invention uses a system whereby years past 1999 are stored as binary integers in fields previously reserved for representations of years as two decimal digits, so that the last two decimal digits will be able to coexist for at least ten thousand years.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,668,989 which issued to D. Mao on Sep. 16, 1997, discloses a system employing two-digit hybrid radix year numbers for the year 2000 and beyond. This system treats the higher digit as hexadecimal, but displays the digit in a decimal-like style, while the lower digit is treated as ordinary decimal, so that the year 1900 is represented by 00 and the year 2000 is represented as '00.
British Patent No. 2,312,536 which was published on Oct. 29, 1997 and issued to Anderson et al., discloses a method and apparatus for identifying and correcting date errors. The invention consists of a suite of computer programs used together to detect and correct year 2000 problems in a personal computer. One aspect of the invention involves the correcting the century value of the date operations a computer when the computer rolls over to the year 2000.
Lastly, The Year 2000 and 2-Digit Dates: A Guide for Planning and Implementation, 3d ed., published by IBM in May, 1996, discloses three solutions and techniques for solving "Y2K" problems. The first technique involves conversion to full 4-digit year formats (DDDD) from 2-digit year (DD) formats, the second technique involves windowing techniques, namely, externalizing 2-digit or 4-digit year formats, and the third technique involves using a 2-digit encoding/compression scheme, whereby 4-digit year data are compressed into 2-digit existing space.
None of the above inventions and patents, taken either singularly or in combination, is seen to describe the instant invention as claimed. Thus, a date formatting system solving the aforementioned problems is desired.
The present invention provides a method which can be incorporated into the application processing logic of a computer program whose date operations would otherwise fail as a result of date operations utilizing 2-digit representation for the year. For example, the 2-digit code "00" could be representative of either the year 1900 or the year 2000.
According to a first embodiment of the invention, a 6-integer file system in CYYDDD format is used, "C" being a variable indicating the century. A second embodiment utilizes a 7-digit integer data file and is in YYYYDDD format. These two embodiments help avoid "year 2000" problems by using a year format in excess of 2-digits.
Accordingly, it is a principal object of the invention to provide a date formatting system that enables computer programs to avoid the "year 2000" crisis.
It is another object of the invention to provide a date formatting system that is easy to use in conjunction with a computer program.
It is an object of the invention to provide improved elements and arrangements thereof for the purposes described which is inexpensive, dependable and fully effective in accomplishing its intended purposes.
These and other objects of the present invention will become readily apparent upon further review of the following specification and drawings.
Similar reference characters denote corresponding features consistently throughout the attached drawings.
Referring to the drawings wherein like numerals represent like elements, FIG. 1. illustrates an exemplary computer system 10 that may include the date formatting system of the present invention. The computer system 10 has an input device 12, a CPU (central processing unit) 14, a memory device 16 and a display device 18. The operation of the computer system 10 is governed by a computer software program that is stored in the memory device 16.
A typical software program has numerous routines that perform the tasks that the program was designed to perform, such as alphabetize, sort or otherwise move text. More often than not, such programs additionally include a routine such as a date operation such as a date comparison.
The date operations often encoded in such software programs use a two-digit representation for the year. In such a case, the date operations may be erroneously performed when processing dates after Dec. 31, 1999 for the reasons discussed above.
Referring now to
For example Dec. 25, 1998 would be shown as 298359, as shown in
Adding days to these six-integer files will similarly avoid any Y2K problems. For, example to determine the date 2 years and 200 days from Jan. 1, 1999, simply add 002200+299001, which is equal to 301201 or Jul. 20, 2001.
Referring now to
Referring now to
As shown in
It is to be understood that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, but encompasses any and all embodiments within the scope of the following claims.

"A Sower Went Out To Sow"
January 30, 2013
The thirteenth chapter of Matthew's Gospel introduces us to Jesus's use of parables.
A parable is a wise saying or a fictitious short story used by Jesus to expound his teaching. It leads the listener to concede a point that he himself does not immediately perceive as applicable to himself, so the lesson goes home.
Most of the parables used by Jesus come from his own life setting, so they were familiar to his listeners. Later on, the teachings of Jesus were modified by the early Christian community. We notice this when we compare the parables in their different Gospel versions.
One of the simplest and best loved parables is that of the Sower. It's a simple description of the process of ploughing in Palestine, of the kind of ground on which the seed is sown, and of the usual results.
The "footpath" is the soil trodden hard in paths through the fields. Wild thorns, the most common weed in the country, are not cleared before ploughing, but are upturned during the act of ploughing itself. The fields are sown throughout, even at the edges where the limestone subsoil lies close to the surface. The parable concludes with a reference to the yield of the crop, which varies depending on the quality of the soil where the seed was sown.
The 'kingdom of heaven' is the central point of the parable. The kingdom will arrive in spite of obstacles. The harvest will be there, in spite of the difficulties of growth. This is a real cause of hope. Even in the early Church communities, not everyone yielded a bumper harvest. The results varied. So this parable is an image of the Church in growth.

Did you know that in Hindi, the language spoken in my country, India, we do not have a word that is the equivalent of 'Goodbye'? That is because, in our culture, we believe that closures are only punctuation marks and when one door closes, another opens, and the cycle of life carries on. But the closure is an important part of the next beginning. So, I have to say my goodbyes in English only.As I lay down my office as Chairperson of ICMCI, and I reflect on the last two years, it seems like the London Congress happened a long time ago, but just the other day. There is so much water under the bridge, and it went past very swiftly. I cannot say we didn't work hard, because we did. I cannot say we didn't work smart, because we did.
If you look at the combined outcomes of the last two years from all points of view, you will find that each and every member of the ExCom has significant contribution to report. They have each given the best of their energies and not held back at all. Like all teams, we too had our forming storming issues, and we too had our ups and downs, and periods of bursts of energy, and some moments when we found ourselves depleted of energies. There is much accomplished, and a combined reading of the ExCom report for 2009-2010 released at Jordan Conference last year, and the ExCom report for 2010-2011 being released at Taipei Congress, will tell the complete story. I am sure that there are many who believe that there is still so much more left to be done, and the mantle now falls on my worthy successor, the incoming Chairman of ICMCI, Francesco D'Aprile, to carry the legacy forward.
This issue of Meridian is being released on the eve of the Taipei Biennial Congress and marks the beginning of 25 years of ICMCI existence. In the many centuries since the earliest consultants, these last 25 years have added immense value to the growth and evolution of the profession. Management consultants in over 48 countries have the option of becoming members of professional institutes, with ICMCI at the apex. They have the benefit of receiving training and knowledge and endless learning and networking opportunities offered by our members. They also have the option of obtaining the very prestigious certification and adding a CMC after their name, and they have the honor of being welcomed into reciprocal membership of ICMCI member institutes in over 48 countries.
The award of the Meridian Order goes to three eminent and distinguished persons in ICMCI who have contributed over many years to the working of ICMCI, tirelessly and selflessly. An announcement to this effect is being made at the Taipei Congress and is also included in this newsletter.
For the first time, ICMCI has put implemented an International Award for Consulting Excellence, the Constantinus International awards, and these too are being given away at Taipei Congress. In this newsletter, you will find the names of the winners and a bit about the award winning consulting done by them.
The Taipei Congress is mostly about the Breakthrough Strategy that was forged as an outcome of London Business Meeting demands of the Board of Trustees in September of 2009. I am proud and happy to have had the bend in the river during 2009 and 2011 and to have been witness to the moment of transition to the new ICMCI that will emerge as an outcome of the work done by the Breakthrough projects.
The global map of ICMCI has changed since it was published after the London Congress. In this issue you will find the latest map of the many countries where CMC is available through our members. The CMC gold has spread far and wide. The hope is to cover more parts of the African and South American continents where undiscovered territory exists. I am sure that future ExComs will rise to the challenges posed by these two continents, and will find success in the many countries there where consultants also exist.
This address is incomplete without the acknowledgement of all my very competent and efficient colleagues on the ExCom, the elders who have mentored me in ICMCI, The Board of Trustees who have engaged themselves in record numbers with what we have done, and the efficient secretariat that has been the backbone of our functioning.
With these words, I bid goodbye and leave the mantle of Chairperson very confidently and proudly, in the hands of Francesco D'Aprile, the incoming Chairman, who will lead from here onwards. I look forward to continuity of many relationships forged through friendship, professional respect, and mutuality. The door to future correspondence now opens and a different wavelength can get established in my new avatar of Past Chairperson.
With best wishes to all,
Aneeta R Madhok, CMC
Chairperson, ICMCI

When Grace Andreas's sister, Petra, and her husband are both killed, Grace inherits the power and responsibilities of the Oracle of Louisville, as well as her sister's two young children - neither of which she is prepared for. Then Khalil, Demonkind and Djinn prince of House Marid, decides to make himself a part of the household, both as guardian and counterpoint to Grace's impudence towards the Elder Races.
©2012 Teddy Harrison (P)2012 Tantor
I save my audio books for road trips..but it was so engageing i could not wait for the next road trip to finisn..yeah i really enjoyed the book,
I think she did a great job
It had great fun moments..but parts were so sweet , and loving it made your eyes tear up a bit
Say something about yourself!
"Still loving them!!!!"
I have to say I didn't think I would ever be so addicted to a set of books as I am to Black Dagger Brotherhood...and I was wrong. If BDB gets a 100, this series is getting at least a 95! The world created by Thea Harrison is so vivid and distinct from anything else I have ever read that I just want to know more and more, and like with BDB I find myself wondering which of these secondary characters is going to be the focus of the next book.
Love, love, love these books, can't tell you how happy I am with them! The only thing that would make them a bit better is not waiting so long for the hot scenes...I mean you KNOW they are coming, but I want them to hurry up and get there long before they actually do. The scenes are well written and explicit, but in a GOOD way!
This book detailed the story of the Oracle (Grace) and the Gin Callile, once again sorry for the spelling, these were listened to not read so I am doing my best!
The plot was full, the characters were well rounded, and if you can call a totally imaginary world made up of imaginary creatures as believable, then this plot within this imaginary world was very believable...I do feel a bit cheated, in need of a serious epilogue or a book two about them, because I SOOOO want to know how it went after the book was over, but for the most part, two thumbs way up!
"now the story begins to unfold wonderful."
Thea now begins to weave a tale of humans and different types of mystical beings, the story jumps and spreads as people begin to live different lives, interesting lives, lives that surprise you, compel you to wonder what is around the next corner. No gaps or "why is that happening?" this is a growing, truly provocative series now. When you aren't listening you are thinking about it, wondering what comes next. This will be a series that will be read for the next decade if not longer. Thea has found her stride and her stories have depth, humanity and move as the world does..... slowly toward the unknown. Brava bella, Brava
Hello, my name is Teresa and I'm an addict.
"Just makes you want to read more and more."
I love this series. I am tempted to go back and listen to the first one again and considering how many unread books I have in my library that is saying something. This book is sexy, funny, and you love the characters. Although I wasn't sure where the angst was going to come from, it was more romance with small obstacles to overcome than anything large and obvious until closer to the end. The narrator is the same throughout all of the series and does a great job. Defiantly should listen to in order, all the books are great. Now I have to go find all the short novellas that the author wrote for this series.
"Probably my favorite book in the series so far!"
Yes, I would definitely listen to this again. It was just the right amounts of fun, sexy and engaging to keep me going. I blew through it in 2 listens.
After the last two books in this series, I had serious reservations about going for the fourth. The last two books were fairly formulaic, which I can get past if the characters, world building, and other nuances of the story are interesting enough. However the last two didn't really feel that way to me. I loved the first installment so much though that I decided to give the series one more chance before I gave up on it. I am very glad I did because I think I loved this book even more than the first one. I would love to see a full series based just on these characters. The female lead was strong and she didn't spend the whole book whining about her lot which I found refreshing. The male lead was just plain sexy! He wasn't as stereotypical as I have found the males to be in this series, and he was fun and surprising. It was also refreshing that this was not just another Vampire/ Shifter story, I enjoyed the diversity of supernatural beings. Overall, I found this book charming, fun, and sexy. It gave me a reason to stick with this series for at least a few more books.
The narrator was pretty good in this story, I liked her in this book better than the rest of the series. I am not sure if it was because I thought her Character voices were more appropriate in this one, or if it's because the story was just better. Probably a little of both.
Yes, I didn't want to put it down.
The universe that has been set up is very interesting. It is a shame it is so badly wasted.
Not really. All the action is crammed into a few days and we're supposed to believe some profound connection is being formed. What?
"Love the series - BUT my favorite so far!"
The whole world of the Elder Races just fascinates me! Their relationships with the mortals, really, this is great sci-fi. The whole mythology of the series is fantastically woven.
I would listen to this again just for the Djinn, Khalil. I think he is my favorite so far. He was so well developed. They all are, but this one, this one stuck with me the most. I was fascinated by him and all his Djinn "ness" He started as the cold snarky scary Djinn and then gets under your skin… He is smoking… in more than one way. He did it for me. I'd like to have a Djinn on hand!
The narrator gets it right every time. You know every character that is speaking – she does great accents and have to say loved the children's voices. She does a great job with all the male characters as well.
I find that some of the reviews of the series are ridiculous. If you don't find them completely entertaining – then why do you keep reading them! Because they are entertaining and you can't put them down! That's why!!! I highly recommend the series – I enjoyed every minute of them. The steamy scenes are well written and reflect each character deepest desires. They just enrich the story even more…
Science Fiction, Fantasy, Romance, Time Travel, and Historical Fiction – this series has it all! Thank you Thea for this series -- please continue!
Love it and I am totally hooked. You will be too -- start with Dragon Bound.
"Love this series"
Just what the doctor ordered. Lovable characters, nice storyline, some steamy love connections and lots of heart. Can't wait for more.
"I absolutely loved it"
This is one of my most enjoyed audiobooks in some time - and I generally enjoy all my audiobooks. All of the characters are likeable, and as opposed to some reviews, I did not find the heroine to be at all ungrateful or whiney. Instead, I found myself really respecting her - there were no cringe moments where you just wish the heroine would be a little smarter, a little less hysteric or more willing to stand up for herself. Also, the male lead - was so incredibly wonderful. He seems someone that is willing to learn, despite his age and power - he takes everything in and tries his best to understand how it applies to Grace, himself and their growing relationship. Just a truly enjoyable listen.
I Love to read and I am all over the place. From Fantasy to Non Fiction to True Crime. Sadly even some Romance novels which I never thought I would read but they turned out to be not bad some even good as long as they had some fantasy in them
"Wonderful on the edge of your seat"
The Narrator's ability to give the character's believable voices ones I would I have had given them myself
How the main female character found her inner strength. She over came her own obstacles without much help. Its nice to see where women are shown to have strength without being a butch yet holding her femininity.
The one where she went to the moon
Where she stood tow to toe with a 1st generation Ginn and was able to bargain with him without dying.

Amazing story, told in only a way Chuck Palahniuk could. His grasp of how to get his characters down is frightening and Anna Fields ability to capture them is beautiful! I'm so excited to listen to more by Chuck Palahniuk as well as things narrated by Anna Fields!!!

In the APS 2011-17 Strategic Plan, the community set a goal to ensure that every student from grade 2 through 12 has a personal digital learning device to support instruction. The Strategic Plan states that APS should create vital and engaging, technology-rich learning environments, provide an infrastructure for learning and utilize state-of-the-art technology that creates engaging, relevant and personalized learning experiences for all learners regardless of background, language or disabilities.
APS is dedicated to providing high quality, engaging learning experiences that develop the whole child. It is committed to challenging all students, preparing them to be college and career ready, and becoming responsible and productive global citizens. Our vision for the personalized learning initiative is that every teacher uses technology to transform teaching that results in personalized learning and academic growth.
APS has laid the foundation for ensuring that students have equal access to information, opportunities and tools needed for learning by providing students and teachers with new technology tools. Students are able to leverage technology to take greater ownership of their learning, and engage in activities that require them to solve problems, collaborate with others, and generate new ideas. APS is committed to ensuring instruction, curriculum and outcomes are connected to our students' unique talents, skills and interests and using technology to provide flexibility and choice for our learners.
Benefits of Personalized Learning
While personalized learning is not new, technology is helping us to make greater strides toward this goal, and we see many wonderful benefits.
- Classrooms are student-centered and the teacher's role is as facilitator to guide learning rather than just being gatekeeper or a
single source of knowledge.
- Through personalized learning, students are challenged to think critically and use higher order level skills.
- Students are more engaged in learning when they are given more opportunities to take control of their learning.
- Teachers are able to offer immediate feedback so that students can make adjustments to their thinking and improve on their work.
- With collaboration tools, students and teachers are able to communicate easily both inside and outside of school.
- Students are exploring more creative ways to solve problems, express their ideas, generate new learning and develop skills to
work as part of a team in the classroom and virtually.
Learn more about why APS cares about Digital Learning in our Executive Summary (Español) and our journey in the Digital Learning Paper (Español)
Latest News
In the fall of 2015, APS released a draft handbook on personalized learning, to address family and staff questions regarding the initiative. Feedback was collected from the community and the Digital Learning Steering Committee is using that feedback to make appropriate amendments to the handbook. A final version of the handbook, and a full report on the comments received from the community and APS responses to them, will be released in the spring of 2016.

A Walk through the 2016 Vintage Computer Festival
Started in 1997 by Bay Area entrepreneur Sellam Ismail, the Vintage Computer Festival (VCF) is a grass-roots showcase of historical computers. After a nine-year hiatus on the West Coast, the festival was resurrected in 2016 by the Vintage Computer Federation, spearheaded by Evan Koblentz, with CHM volunteer and docent Eric Klein serving as producer.
VCF has a rich history that makes for intriguing commentary about the preservation versus presentation of historical objects and is a favorite event among computer enthusiasts. This year was no different. Take a walk through VCF 2016, hosted at CHM, with curator Chris Garcia.READ MORE

The Internet is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and offers shopping that can be just as safe as stores or mail orders. But unless consumers learn to identify online fraud indicators, those who buy online can open themselves up to the same scams that are common with offline shopping.
On the web, cyberspace crooks have the potential to perpetuate scams quickly, leaving no paper trails and bypassing all geographic boundaries. Some common "red flags" that strongly suggest a potential online scam include the following:
* "It's Now or Never"/First Come, First Served. Beware of pressure for an immediate response or frantic claims of limited availability. Any legitimate company will give you time to make a wise purchasing decision. Look on the web for a reliability seal from an online consumer protection group such as BBBOnLine and do some background checking before you buy.
* No Mail Please. If a seller requests payment in cash by a private courier or by check or money order through an overnight delivery service, be suspicious. He or she could be trying to get around postal fraud laws.
* "Free" for a Price. Don't trust an offer for "free" products or services that later asks you to send money or pay an upfront fee.
* Dazzling Presentation. Scam business advertisements, particularly those sent by e-mail, are often brimming with excessive CAPITAL LETTERS, dollar $ign$ and !!!exclamation points!!!. It's also not uncommon for these ads to include misspellings or grammatical errors. Con artists hope that a glitzy website or flashy e-mail ad will blind consumers into falling for a scam.
* "Get Rich Quick" Appeals. Con artists know exactly how to scam consumers who want to make big money quick with little work or effort. The explosion of e-commerce and internet-related businesses has made it easy for cyberspace crooks to con eager buyers into believing that hundreds of dollars invested in an internet business will instantly turn into thousands of dollars in profit over night. But the only person likely to make easy money in such schemes is the con artist.
According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, over $300 billion in business will be conducted over the Internet during the first decade of the new millennium. Chances are good that you'll be one of those people making a purchase online soon, if you haven't already. Here are some tips to help ensure that your online shopping experience is a safe and satisfying one:
* Location, Location. If you're interested in trying a new online merchant who you're not familiar with, ask the company for its physical location (address and phone number) so that you can check on its reliability with outside organizations like your BBB and consumer agencies.
* Customer Satisfaction Policy. Determine the company's refund and return policies before you place an order. If online companies can't offer concrete commitments on how they will handle any potential problems you may have with their products or services, reconsider doing business with them.
* Protect Your Passwords. Never give out your Internet password. When creating a password, avoid using established numbers, such as your house number, birth date, or your telephone or Social Security numbers. If the site asks you to create an account with a password, never use the same password you use for other accounts or sites.
* Leave Nothing to Chance. Be sure you have a thorough understanding of everything involved before making an order. Be clear on the price and any shipping and handling charges. Know the terms of any product or service guarantees. Find out how long it will be before you receive your order. Federal law requires that goods and services be delivered within 30 days, unless a different delivery period is specifically stated by the merchant.
* Guard Your Personal Information. Only provide your credit card information or Social Security number online in a secure environment. Look for the prefix https:// . . . in the Uniform Resource Locator box which lists the website's web address to be sure that a site you are using is secure.
* Check For Reliability. Check a company out with your BBB. For the phone number or address of your nearest BBB. Also look for a reliability seal from a reputable online consumer protection program such as BBBOnLine (www.bbbonline.org).
* Keep a Paper Trail. Print out the "address" of the company site you are on - its Uniform Resource Locator (URL). The URL ensures that you are dealing with the right company. It's also a good idea to print out a copy of your order and confirmation number for your records.
* Pay by credit or charge card. Do not send cash under any circumstances. If you pay by credit or charge card online, your transaction will be protected by the Fair Credit Billing Act. Under this law, you have the right to dispute charges under certain circumstances and temporarily withhold payment while the creditor is investigating. In the event your credit or charge card is used without your knowledge and permission, you generally are liable for no more than $50 in charges per card. Many companies do not hold consumers responsible for any unauthorized charges made online, and some card issuers may provide additional warranty, return, and/or purchase protection benefits. Be cautious if the seller asks you to pay by check or money order as you will have little recourse if the transaction goes awry. The Federal Trade Commission recommends in general that buyers not wire money either. If something goes wrong with the transaction, the buyer most likely will lose their payment.
* Know Your Consumer Rights. The same laws that protect you when you shop by phone or mail apply when you shop in cyberspace. Under the law, a company must ship your order within the time stated in its ads. If you decide to pay by credit card or charge card, your transaction will be protected by the Fair Credit Billing Act. If you are not comfortable entering your credit or charge card account number online, call it in to the company's 800 number or fax it.

'Parks and Rec'-ap: Everything's Zen? I Don't Think So.
Reunited and it felt so good. It had been six long weeks since we last saw our favorite parks and recreation employees from a small, fictitious Indiana town. (Suck it, Eagleton!) With Leslie's campaign, and thus the rest of season four, drawing close to the end, there was no time for plot lines about coming up with campaign theme songs or finding time in the day to "Treat yo'self." It was time to get down to business.
If there's any testament to the staying power of Leslie Knope (an increasingly Emmy-worthy Amy Poehler) in this already rocky campaign, it was during last night's new episode of Parks and Recreation titled "Live Ammo." When we last saw Leslie she had a disastrous, drunk interview with Buddy Wood (Sean Hayes). So what could possibly be worst than that? Killing puppies. Sweet, adorable, innocent puppies.
Of course Leslie wasn't actually killing puppies (or in the words of Tom, puuuuuupies.) But she did face the dilemma of having to close the local animal shelter, thanks to a budget cutting stand-off with Councilman Pilner (the always-great Bradley Whitford, back in political West Wing mode) before his impending retirement. Leslie would soon find out she would have to snap out of parks and rec mode and into a city council mindset. For a person who smiles 90 percent of the day, this is no easy task. But, come on, this is Leslie Knope we're talking about here.
After being faced with the even worst prospect of losing the shelter and employees being cut in the budget (including her best friend, beautiful tropical fish Ann), Leslie put one whole, risky idea together. In a bold stroke of genius, Leslie convinced Bobby Newport's (we miss you, Paul Rudd) campaign manager Jennifer (Kathryn Hahn) to have her rival use his bottomless trust fund to save the animal shelter in exchange for no more negative campaigns and a negotiation with Pilner to save jobs and the budget. While the risky maneuver would undoubtedly give Bobby the edge with voters that week, Leslie quickly reminded Jennifer that the clueless, spoiled Bobby would have to face her in a debate soon. And nobody beats Leslie Knope in a debate.
As if the stakes weren't high enough for Leslie, she has more than just her political future hanging in the balance — she has to consider Chris' future as well. After spending the day testing to see if Ron was a flexible enough coworker (by taking him, hilariously, to meditate) to appoint him as Assistant City Manager, Chris found out that if Bobby were to win, he would lose his job. Literally the worst news ever.
NEXT: The coolest thing since *NSYNC, Aerosmith, and Nelly performed together at the Super Bowl.
While the idea of losing one's job, or complete upheaval of the entire government, may have thrilled the unintentionally zen Ron, the idea shook Chris to his typically very strengthened core. But leave it to Ron freakin' Swanson to know that it's not meditation that would help the struggling Chris. ("We're all just molecules, floating around in random patterns devoid of meaning," he said, hopelessly, if not accurately.)
No, it was a glass of whiskey (the nectar of the Gods, if you will) and the shockingly sound advice of "Don't try so hard" that did the trick. (In fact, a newly enlightened Chris may have looked at his ex Ann in a whole new light. Sorry Tom! But, not really. Please break up, in spite of your amazing apartment.) Ron may not care about the government, but his quiet devotion to his friends and coworkers is a different story entirely.
But Chris wasn't the only one facing the awful truth that, as an adult, sometimes no matter how hard we try, things don't always pan out and our once sound worldview can be shaken to its very core. (Wow, I guess I see I have more in common with Chris than I initially thought.) April had the very anti-April task of taking over for Leslie, a job which she soon found out was not, as Leslie had promised a "non-stop thrill ride." Before Leslie negotiated to keep the animal shelter open, April took on the task of trying to save it and recruited Andy, Tom, Donna, and Gerry for help. April may be the anti-Leslie, but that doesn't mean she's incapable of having good ideas and a big heart, too.
When taking in all the animals from the shelter, including a headphone-eating piggy, April came up with a plan to hold an adoption drive at the park. An idea Leslie wonderfully described as "The coolest thing since *NSYNC, Aerosmith, and Nelly performed together at the Super Bowl halftime show." While April's plan was arguably a little bit cooler than that, they wound up leaving with more animals than they arrived with, crushing her spirit and reinforcing that hard work doesn't actually pay off. And much like Ron playing spiritual guru to Chris (let's all let that sentence sink in), Tom stepped up and played moral compass and cheerleader to a disappointed April. (Hey, thanks for taking our advice, you guys! Now please just break Tom and Ann up.)
"Live Ammo" may not have been the laugh-out-loud episode Parks and Rec fans had been waiting for during the Lil' Sebastian-sized hiatus, but it was an important one. There were subtle, but tremendous shifts with characters and the roles they'll play for the rest of the season, if not the series. (April could, against all odds, become a force in local politics and Chris could evolve from a one-note joke to a versatile, perhaps lovable character.) We're not just rooting for Leslie anymore in this campaign, we're rooting for everyone again.
NEXT: The night's best lines!
The best lines and moments from last night's Parks and Recreation:
–Leslie owns "sneak around" clothes.
–Tom's "girl heaven" apartment includes cozy blankets, a fridge full of coconut water, and amenities galore.
–A particularly saucy Leslie around the puppy-level cute Ben. ("I'm just really into you. Gimme a spin, baby.")
–The visual of stern Ron standing behind a meditating Chris was total comedy bliss.
–Tom's invention of the Beeryonce. That's just beer in a "sexy ass mug"
–Tom's pronunciation of cashmere. ("Cashmuuuuuur." If he and New Girl's Schmidt ever were in the same room the Douchebag Space Time Contiuum would collapse in on itself.)
–Ben's priceless, horrified reaction to a house full of animals.
–Donna's made-up back stories for the animals, including Ray Charles' seeing eye dog and a cat that appeared in Boogie Nights.
–Andy setting up cards in hopes that all the dogs would play poker.
–Chris hoping to play Cranium while drinking whiskey and wheat grass shots with Ron. (Sorry, but does that sound fun to anyone else, too?)
–Leslie thinking that being a nurse mostly consists of "shaving wieners and dodging knife attacks from meth heads."
–"I will walk deeper into the belly of the beast if it means I'm able to further limit reckless government spending. I mean I have so many ideas. Some are simple, like take down traffic lights and eliminate the post office. The bigger ones will be tougher, like bring all this crumbling to the ground." — Ron's genius government platform
–"I'm not sure I'm interested in that. No, I am sure I'm not interested in that."— Ron, on meditation
–"I'm filling in for a person who smiles 90 percent of the day." — A distressed April, aka Lil' Sparkle
–"It's crazy boring, it lasts forever and you're going to wish you were dead. Wanna borrow my yoga pants?!" — Ann, not quite selling the meditation sizzle to Ron
–"I don't know what the hell these other crackpots were doing." — Ron, after he "didn't" meditate
–"I just had five cats on me at once! Wanna come in here and try and break my record?" — Andy
–"They should be rewarded for not being people. I hate people." — April, on animals (Did anyone else notice Andy in the back playing with a toy monkey?!)
–"There's a hot, spinning cone of meat in that restaurant next door. I don't know what it is, but I'd like to eat the whole thing." — Ron. Be still my heart, Ron Swanson.
What did you think of last night's episode? Were you disappointed in the levity of it or were you glad they moved the story along as much as they did? Will Leslie be able to take this campaign right out of Bobby Newport's entitled hands? Between this and Cabin in the Woods, is anyone having a better week than Bradley Whitford? And seriously though, Ron. Freakin'. Swanson.

Do you ever use a glue gun in your crafts? If so, I'm going to tell you all about Hot Glue Gun Helpers developed by Cathie Filian and Steve Piacenza and distributed by Plaid Enterprises…and then, you're going to slap yourself in the forehead and ask, "why didn't I think of this?" These tools are so simple and yet so useful, you'll want to snag a set immediately.
The set comes with a large mat, three finger caps, a paddle, tweezers, and a press wand. All are non-stick and heat safe- up to 600 degrees!
I love the extra-large mat- it's over 14 inches wide! It's a great work surface.
To test out the tools, I decided to work on a spring floral Kissing Ball… so let's hot glue some moss to a Styrofoam ball.
I slipped on some of the finger caps and applied some hot glue on the ball, and then pressed on some moss using my clad fingers. (By the way, you get 4 sizes of caps in each set, small through extra-large. Nice, right?) While some hot glue oozed up through the moss, my fingers stayed absolutely cool- just a little hint of warmth to let me know that I would have sustained a nasty sting if I didn't have my caps on!
Next I added some vintage ribbon, and I wanted to make sure I pressed it firmly enough into the moss. Enter the paddle!
I was able to press the ribbon down firmly to ensure good adhesion with the glue. I could even take up a little glob of hot glue with the corner of the paddle and put it right where I want it. It also came in handy when gluing loops- check it out:
Then I decided to add some flowers- time to use the press wand. It's really flexible, and allows you to do a "soft press"- you can keep from crushing delicate objects, like silk flowers.
I love the tip on the press wand- really great control. Lastly, I decided to add some crystals in the center of my silk flower clusters. Time to bust out those tweezers! They have a rubberized, heat-resistant and npn-stick tip. This allowed me to place the crystal in the puddle of hot glue and position it accurately without the tweezers getting sticky and creating unsightly strings.
I also used the tweezers to hold a silk leaf to the ribbon while the glue cooled. Could you imagine doing this with your fingers? No way!
At the end of my play date with Hot Glue Gun Helpers, I ended up with a sweet Kissing Ball for Valentine's Day and a respect for these tools. I can't imagine ever getting out my hot glue gun again without them!
And, they can be used with any glue- Mod Podge, Tacky Glue- even with heat embossing! That mat alone can really save your worktable from scorching. It will roll up for easy storage, but my bet is that you'll want to keep it out and use it daily.
This 7-piece kit retails for $19.99- a great value, if you ask me. The only drawback right now is availability. I've not seen it in the big box or the local craft stores yet- but if you must have them ( and you probably do)- you can buy them at the official Etsy shop. And you know what's cool? If you order set of two or three Hot Glue Gun Helpers, you get a discount. Sounds like a great opportunity to get some crafty friends together, right?
But first you might want to leave a comment for a chance to win a set! Yes, our friends at Plaid are offering the readers of CraftTestDummies a chance to WIN! To enter, just leave a comment on THIS POST sharing how often and what kind of projects you use hot glue with. I'll draw a random comment via Random.org around 12 Noon EST on Friday, January 14, 2011. This drawing is open to US & Canadian residents only.
This Giveaway is now closed. Thanks for your comments! Check HERE to see the winner!
