Adult Leadership Model in Action We role model leadership by applying the three leadership keys we teach girls to ourselves. Specifically: Our self-awareness enables girls to Discover themselves and their values. • We demonstrate "leadership of self" by staying true to the values of the Girl Scout Law. Our teamwork inspires girls to Connect with others in an increasingly diverse world. • We demonstrate "leadership of others" by advancing healthy relationships, constructive conflict resolution, and diversity and inclusion. Our ability to embrace change empowers girls to Take Action to change the world. • We demonstrate "leadership of the organization" by keeping Girl Scouts relevant and by standing up for girls as they pursue their goals.
On the heels of 100 years of developing girls of courage, confidence, and character, the Year of the Girl is our move to rally the nation around the cause of girls' leadership. Together, we can do this. To learn more, visit girlscouts.org/yearofthegirl.
A good leader is someone who works with others to make things happen. —Annie, 17, Girl Scout Senior

Our Leadership Manifesto We are the leaders behind the leaders. We hold ourselves and each other accountable for living up to the Girl Scout mission, Promise, and Law. We lead with courage, confidence, and character. We make the world a better place. We are sisters to every Girl Scout. We proudly embrace our role as leaders of the Movement, with full knowledge and appreciation of the fact that we are, in essence, the leaders behind the leaders. Through our actions we inspire girls to do great things. We take our role as mentors seriously, knowing that girls look to us and will learn as much—if not more—from how we treat each other than from how we treat them. We practice what we preach: there is no gap between what we say and what we do. As the premier leadership development organization for girls, we embrace our role as champions of the new Girl Scout Leadership Experience. We understand it, embrace it, and live by it. We guide girls—literally and figuratively—on their leadership journey. We commit ourselves, every day, to being the leaders girls aspire to be and the leaders that girls need us to be. We are the leaders behind the leaders.

Scouting Spotlight
Flying Monkeys receive scholarships We've been following the 'Flying Monkeys', our Girl Scout group from Ames and Gilbert, Iowa, who successfully gained national recognition through their accomplishments through FIRST® LEGO® League (FLL). The Flying Monkeys, through FLL, developed a prosthetic hand device to help a three-year-old toddler without fingers write. Their dedication and hard work paid off as they were then awarded the first $20,000 Global Innovation Award from the XPrize Foundation and a provisional patent for their device, garnered national and local media attention, received numerous honors, and now they have one more accomplishment to add to their list.
amp Summer C
The team received another honor during an event hosted by Iowa State's College of Engineering Recruitment and Community Outreach and the Girl Scouts of Greater Iowa. On August 29, representatives from the college, Girl Scouts, and community gathered to discuss the Girl Scouts and the organization's mission.
The Summer 2012
Dean Jonathan Wickert and the Flying Monkeys Girl Scout troop
During the program, College of Engineering Dean Jonathan Wickert announced that each of the girls would receive a $1,000 scholarship should they decide in the future to pursue engineering at Iowa State. As he presented certificates to the excited 11- to 13-year old girls, he commented how honored he and the college would be to have each of them become Cyclone engineers. We are proud of the outstanding example the Flying Monkeys have been and congratulate them on their success and honors that they have received!
i Jason Major recognized in Fort Dodge Jason Majors is an outstanding volunteer and was
Jason, Maddy, and Jodi Major
recognized as one of our "Man of the Year" award recipients at the Girl Scouts of Greater Iowa Annual Meeting in 2011. In November, he was also recognized by the "Fort Dodge Today" Publication. In the article, it states that Maddy Major is responsible for her parents' involvement in Girl Scouts, but, Jason has taken the reins from there volunteering as the Fall Product Chair, for events, community service projects, leading, and more. He volunteers with his wife, Jodi, and he states, "It's nice to see the girls become more confident in themselves and helping them grow and mature. You can actually see one-on-one the positive things that Girl Scouts does that affects those girls."
Thanks, Jason, for your positive involvement in the lives of our future leaders!

Bullying and Teasing: No Laughing Matter Young girls and teens can very easily become victims of relational aggression (emotional bullying) and we've taken a stand against this form of bullying among girls. We want to also equip you, as parents and leaders, by giving you resources to use while working with the girls in your troops. Through our partnership with A Way Through, Girl Scouts of Greater Iowa is offering Friendship Power workshops to address the issue of relational aggression. These workshops teach girls the power of being a good friend and how to react when someone is not being a real friend. Girls are shown what to do and say in uncomfortable situations with others. You can bring this awesome workshop to your area for free! This program is presented during the school day to provide simple tips, powerful tools, and practical advice on coaching 4th and 5th grade girls through hurtful friendship situations and/or female bullying. Please contact Carla Marcellus at 800-342-8389, 515 278-2881, or email@example.com to get a Friendship Power workshop scheduled in your area. Together, we can work to ensure our girls are equipped with the tools and communication skills needed when faced with relational aggression or bullying. Girl Scouts of Greater Iowa has also purchased a membership with the Global Alliance for Preventing Relational Aggression (GAPRA). With this membership, any volunteer or member of the Girl Scouts of Greater Iowa can access resources on bully prevention to work with children to improve their relationship skills. Every month there is a conference call by a different professional expert on bullying and how to prevent relational aggression. These conference calls can be accessed by going to www.gapraconnect.com and entering the Username: girlscoutsiowa and the Password: cookies123 into their system.

No truer words were written to describe the women and men who deliver and support the Girl Scout Leadership Experience for our girls. Together, we make a difference in girl's lives and through our mission we have seen how girls have made a difference in our communities. Each year we pause to formally acknowledge the contributions of our volunteers and to recognize those whose works are truly exceptional and have exceeded the expectations of their volunteer role. In 2007, Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) surveyed volunteers to find out how they wanted to be recognized. Here they are the results in order of the most meaningful: 1. Anything – formal or informal that came directly from the girls 2. Free learning opportunities 3. The GSUSA awards (badges, pins and certificates) GSUSA has also learned that some of the awards no longer meet the original intent. Emerging roles have been left out and some of the guidelines and nomination processes are unclear or becoming too hard to manage. Overall, they heard from you that this the right time to take a close look at which awards would continue to be offered by GSUSA while still upholding our valued traditions and history. The results are in! In addition to the Council Awards (Greater Iowa Award, Hall of Fame, Rookie of the Year, Teamwork, and Man of the Year,) the GSUSA awards that will continue are: • Thanks Badge and Thanks Badge • Honor and Appreciation Pins • President's Award
Class Details: Sign in/registration: 8:30 – 9:00. Class: 9:00 a.m. (sharp) - 3:30 p.m. Lunch: There will be a 1/2 hour break for lunch. Participants will need to bring your own lunch and beverage. Cost: $30 for a two year certification. You must attend all day to receive your certification. Physical requirements for certification: Participants must be able to sit on the floor, perform appropriate chest compressions, and meet other physical requirements. Register online at www.girlscoutsiowa.org.
The pins that will be retiring in 2012 are: • Volunteer Service Pins I, II, and III • Volunteer Development Pin and Keys • Outstanding Leader and Outstanding Volunteer • Volunteer Trainer's Pin • Leadership Pin and Leaves One new award will be put into place for 2012. It is the Volunteer of Excellence Award which recognizes those volunteers who have contributed outstanding service while partnering with girls in any pathway to implement the Girl Scout Leadership Experience through use of the National Program Portfolio or who have contributed outstanding service in support of the council's mission delivery to girl and adult members. We would like to personally thank you for your efforts and contribution of time and look forward to seeing you at our 100th Anniversary Celebration and Annual Meeting in March (see page 6 for more details)! As information becomes available on changes and updates to the Adult Awards program it will be posted on our website.

TotT: Floating-Point Comparison
October 16th, 2008 | Published in Google Testing
When comparing floating-point values, checking for equality might lead to unexpected results. Rounding errors can lead to a result that is close to the expected one, but not equal. As a consequence, an assertion might fail when checking for equality of two floating-point quantities even if the program is implemented correctly.
The Google C++ Testing Framework provides functions for comparing two floating-point quantities up to a given precision.
In C++, you can use the following macros:
ASSERT_FLOAT_EQ(expected, actual);
ASSERT_DOUBLE_EQ(expected, actual);
EXPECT_FLOAT_EQ(expected, actual);
EXPECT_DOUBLE_EQ(expected, actual);
In Java, JUnit overloads Assert.assertEquals for floating-point types:
assertEquals(float expected, float actual, float delta);
assertEquals(double expected, double actual, double delta);
An example (in C++):
TEST(SquareRootTest, CorrectResultForPositiveNumbers) {
EXPECT_FLOAT_EQ(2.0f, FloatSquareRoot(4.0f));
EXPECT_FLOAT_EQ(23.3333f, FloatSquareRoot(544.44444f));
EXPECT_DOUBLE_EQ(2.0, DoubleSquareRoot(4.0));
EXPECT_DOUBLE_EQ(23.33333333333333, DoubleSquareRoot(544.44444444444444));
// the above succeeds
EXPECT_EQ(2.0, DoubleSquareRoot(4.0));
// the above fails
EXPECT_EQ(23.33333333333333, DoubleSquareRoot(544.44444444444444));

I was listening to Switchfoot's 'We Are One Tonight' and this thought entered my head, so I'm going to go with it. Hope you like it!
Kanone glanced in the mirror once more, making sure everything was perfect. Of course, nothing less than perfect would be acceptable for a night like this. Well, at least the occasion was special; the night itself was a little windy and cloudy. Still, not even the heavens would dare to ruin this night for him. Deciding that this was as good as he got (which according to most was pretty damn good) he smiled, satisfied with himself. He stared at the second button on his maroon shirt, trying to decide whether to leave it buttoned or unbuttoned. Then, he smirked, realizing that he was more caught up in this one night than any other, and how ridiculous it was what the other boy did to him. Kanone woldn't put forth this effort for just anyone, but when had Eyes been just anyone? In fact, when had Eyes been anyone other than the one?
Deciding that he couldn't waste anymore time thinking about how perfect Eyes was or else he was going to be late to pick him up, Kanone grabbed a short, black jacket off the coat rack. He almost made it out when a woman's voice stopped him, "Kanone Hilbert, where do you think you're going this late at night?"
Kanone spun on his heel to see a smirking brunette, arms crossed. Kanone grinned, "Nowhere special." he lied. Perhaps the biggest lie he had ever told, and his mother knew it.
"Why don't I believe you?" she asked, knowing her son was up to something.
Kanone laughed, "Obviously because I'm lying." he told her. Hey, at least he was honest about being dishonest.
"That figures." she muttered, "So, where are you off to? Another date with Eyes?" she asked, teasingly. His mother had accpeted her son's relationship with his life-long friend with open arms and endless teasing, the latter of which got on Kanone's nerves quite a bit. Tonight, though, the end of the world couldn't put a frown on his face. In fact, he'd probably even laugh a little, as long as Eyes was there to laugh with him, that is. Well, perhaps not laugh, but...whatever.
"What do you mean another date?" Kanone asked, innocently, "We've never been on a date."
"Ah, so a first date?" she asked.
Kanone blushed a little, and still found it absurd how much the boy affected him, "Perhaps." he said, "And if I'm going to be on time for whatever it is, I need to leave. Now."
The older one took the hint, "Have fun, don't get drunk, do any drugs, or get knocked up, and be home by midnight." Kanone raised an eyebrow as his mother laughed, "No, wait, that was my mother's speech. We can see how well that worked." Kanone snickered at this, "In your case, just the first three apply."
Kanone grinned, "Of course." he said, "I am only 12."
"I don't know, kids these days..." she trailed off, laughing and reaching out a hand to ruffle Kanone's hair, "I'll leave you alone."
Kanone glared at the retreating hand, "You do realize I spent an eternity getting my hair to not look like I just rolled out of bed, correct?" he asked, dashing back to the mirror.
This comment sent his mother doubling over in laughter, "Do you honestly think Eyes will care, dear?" she asked, "After tonight it might look like that anyway, you're just going in prepared."
Kanone glanced at his mother's reflection in the mirror, "You really missed out on how to not be so foward, didn't you?"
The reflection grinned at him, "What's the point of disguising the truth?" she asked.
Kanone sighed, but really couldn't come up with a answer to that. Finally getting his hair back into a decent condition, Kanone spun around, "Now, if you're done talking in riddles and messing up my perfection, I'll be going."
The woman laughed, "Your perfection?"
"You're denying it?" he asked, sounding a lot more cocky than he was feeling. In truth, he was grateful for the stalling. He had been around Eyes countless times, as his friend, mentor, and boyfriend. This was different, though, tonight they were going on an actual date. It was just something about the idea of a first date that made Kanone nervous. He wanted his night to be perfect, if not for him than for Eyes. He supposed he was a romantic at heart, underneath everything else.
Looking up, he noticed the laughing had stopped, and his mother was smiling at him, "Have fun, dear." she said, kissnig him once on his forehead.
"I will." Kanone promised, and with that he was out the door...and into the wind, "Of course, what was I worried about my hair for?" he wondered, his mother couldn't do near as much damage as mother nature. It was only a five minute walk to Eyes' house, and Kanone looked up at the sky, "It's so cloudy." he thought, idly, "Shouldn't the stars be out on a night like this?" Whatever the weather, Kanone knew this night would be perfect.
Reaching his boyfriend's door, Kanone knocked a few times, finding that ridiculous as well. Any other day he would have just walked in, but he supposed this was the right thing to do on a date. Not a minute later, the door swung open to reveal the most breath-taking sight Kanone had ever seen. Eyes was wearing his usual black pants with a medium blue button-up shirt, the top buttons being buttoned. Kanone smirked, yet another symbol of his boyfriend's innocence. Eyes' soft silver hair was combed down, hanging losely and nearly brushing his shoulders, reflecting the light from a lamp somewhere inside. His piercing blue eyes were no less intense, but clouded over with a certain emotion that Kanone had rarely ever seen on him. He wasn't sure to this day what that emotion was, perhaps it was love, or maybe just simple lust or anticipation. Whatever it was, it always made the younger one look drop-dead gorgeous.
A smile flicker of a smile graced Eyes' lips, "I'll be ready in a second." he said in his usual low, calming voice, "Do you want to come in?"
Kanone smirked, "Of course." he responded, ruining the mood set by Eyes' relaxing british accent with his in-your-face southern one. Nodding, the silver-haired one moved inside, leaving Kanone to close the door.
As promised, a moment later Eyes reemerged into the living room where Kanone had taken a seat on the couch. He now stood once more and smiled, seeing that Eyes had added the choker that the former had given him for his birthday last year to his attire, "Ready?" he asked.
Eyes nodded, "When you are."
"It's a bit chilly outside, you might want to bring a coat." Kanone suggested.
Eyes shook his head, "I'll be fine."
Kanone grinned, "Stubborn as ever." he thought, "Alright, then, shall we?" One more nod and they were out the door. The wind flipped Eyes' hair every which way until it finally settled after a hand was clamped over it. Eyes quickly brought a small hair tie from his pocket and pulled his hair into a ponytail. Kanone turned his attention to exactly what they would be doing on the date, "Well, since the weatherman has lost all my trust and fatih, perhaps we should skip the moonlit walk?" he asked.
Eyes smirked, "I think the fact that there's no moon pretty much killed that whole idea." he added.
"Right." Kanone agreed, "Well, there's always the movie theater."
"We could." Eyes said, but didn't want to really do something so typical for their first date. The walk had been perfect, and it would have been romantic as hell, but there were still other things.
"Ot not." Kanone dismissed the idea, seeing the lack of enthusiasm, "Was there anything you wanted to do in particular?"
Eyes glanced up to the sky, "So much for a first kiss under the full moon." he thought, supposing it was ridiculous to be excited about such an insignificant thing. Sighing, he shrugged, "It's up to you."
Kanone frowned, which he didn't think possible tonight, "I'm sorry the weather isn't panning out." He really had no idea why he was apologizing for something he had no way of controlling, but he hated to see Eyes disappointed.
The younger one attempted to summon a smile to break through his disappointment, and almost succeeded, except he didn't, "It's alright." he assured Kanone, "I suppose the movie theater could be fun."
Kanone shook his head, "You don't want to see a movie, we won't see a movie. There's got to be something else." They hadn't really been walking in any particular direction, and ended up in a huge field that led down a grassy hill to a small lake. Eyes shivered, despising the water for absorbing any and all heat that might have fallen upon the field. Of course, the wind didn't help either. Kanone saw this, and immediately removed his jacket, wrapping it around Eyes' shoulders, "Better?"
The silver-haired boy turned to face him, and smiled a little at the gesture, "Thanks." he whispered, and gasped a little as Kanone pulled on the edges of the jacket, forcing Eyes closer to him.
Kanone grinned at the innocent stare he was recieving, "I've got another way to warm you up." he suggested, brushing his lips against Eyes'. The shorter one closed his eyes and sighed as Kanone placed a chaste kiss on his lips. Kanone brought a hand up to the back of the younger one's head and undid the ponytail, noticing that the wind suddenly died down..
Opening his piercing blue orbs back up, Eyes glanced upwards, smiling a real smile, "Look." he whispered, "The stars are coming out."
Kanone joined his boyfriend in gazing upwards, "So they are." he noted, then looked back down to Eyes. The younger one bit his lip before leaning into Kanone and being caught in a passionate kiss; his first real one. He sighed softly and wrapped his arms around Kanone's neck, letting the jacket slip off his shoulders. Tonight had been perfect after all, and not even the heavens would have dared to ruin it.
Much fluff to be had there. (shrugs) I liked it okay, and it was a nice change in pace from all my other...crap. Well, hope it was enjoyable; review!

Alone Together
Isiore is already there when I arrive. His mouth is practically tied up, terse as it is at the corners. My stomach drops a bit, out of curiosity and uncomfortable circumstances, no fear. I don't even know what he will tell me. I am not Koso, after all.
"Hello," he says, looking past me, "is Koso coming back soon?'
"No," I say, shaking my head, "only me. I'm here to talk to you, though, about the Speaker."
He is not happy, and is fast becoming helpless in a way that makes him more frightening. He has the eyes of a cornered dog, whose options have just been cut.
"Does this Koso not understand how important this is? He was supposed to be the only one to know, there was a reason for that." Isiore hisses, in a whisper, as if the waves of the ocean will give him away.
"Why don't we talk inside?"
We make our places in the front room, seated across from each other on too-comfortable couches. Neither of us has thus far been pleased at how this has gone, so I try again to make conversation. My lies and slowly seeping guilt are worth nothing if Isiore will not speak to me.
"Why do you want only Koso?"
Isiore is silent still. He will not look at me. I am obviously a fool.
I sit back, thinking. Isiore is one of Ilene's people, from Her very soil. He must be Gifted. Why would he stay here longer than a day? And Koso, what does he have that they would want? White hair, old memories, a dead friendship with my brother the almost-prince. A sister who writes letters.
"What do you know about Arezzo and Ithan?"
Isiore's eyes snap up to mine. I have hit something, and he glares at me with the eyes of a dog who has been bitten for his own negligence.
"Shut up, boy," he growls, the polite tone of yesterday's fatherly merchant gone. His eyes swing up and down me. "You are the spitting image of your stupid brother."
Everything in me tenses, but I wait. I have no idea which Gift this man has. Though I would have guessed Water simply for his profession, I can all but rule that out now. I cannot go hand-fighting with a man so unknown.
"I am all you have, likeness or not," I force out, my teeth gritted. "Koso is not coming, so tell me about the Speaker."
At this, some fire goes out in the man, though his eyes don't lose their hardness.
"I do not trust you," he says to me.
"I do not trust you," I return.
I remember Benson's words, that Koso and I are cowards, never speaking up to one another. That cannot happen here. There is something unknown at stake, too large to give up.
"What should I do to gain your trust?" I ask, already weary. Isiore looks at me with brilliant, watchful eyes, then shakes his head.
"You cannot earn my trust. I must tell you, though, if I cannot tell your superior."
I desperately want to rebuke this man on all of his wrong counts, but curiosity drives me to silence.
"The Speaker's name is Nadia," Isiore begins, "did you know this?"
"Then you do now. Remember it. Nadia is coming to this place, soon, to talk with the leaders of the town. Changes must be made."
I am seething, but put emotion on the backburner.
"Where will she be?" I ask, my first question. "She cannot come to the market circle. She cannot be seen by the townspeople."
"She will come here, to this building."
I nod, though I cannot endorse his free claim of this place. It is not worth the fight. The Speaker would have to come here via ship, and this is the closest of everything to shore.
"A week from now, or close."
I bite my lip. I will have to tell Koso now, tell him everything. This involves his Porthouse, his life, his people. Yet, I cannot imagine him reacting well to the news of the visiting Speaker. I will think on it after, when I regain my senses and emotions.
"What else is there?"
These cannot be the only details, thirteen year old Nicola could have told me these things. There are opinions somewhere, or warnings or truths.
"My family and I will be staying in this town for awhile, to oversee the progress and growth of the place. My children should be welcome, you will welcome them. Come prepared for the Speaker's night. There will be others there, but they have been told by now. Do not worry yourself with them. Goodbye Tomas, brother of Ithan."
He leaves, without waiting for another word from me.

This bulletin summarizes the information presented in NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-37, Revision 1, Guide for Applying the Risk Management Framework to Federal Information Systems: A Security Life Cycle Approach. Developed by NIST in partnership with the Joint Task Force Transformation Initiative, the publication supports federal managers in both defense and civil agencies in making informed decisions about the security of their information systems. The revised guide explains the basic concepts to be applied to the management of security risks to information systems. The bulletin discusses issues emphasized in the publication: planning and building information security capabilities into information systems throughout the system life cycle; implementing up-to-date management, operational, and technical security controls; and maintaining awareness of the security condition of information systems though improved monitoring. The Risk Management Framework is explained, and references are provided to additional sources of information on risk management.

text: TV Actresses | Events | Little Champs | | The Zee Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Lil Champs, Tanmay and Vasundhara were on Cloud Nine, as they were given a pleasant surprise by the celluloid genius, Sanjay Leela Bhansali. The ace directors mother who is very fond of the two kids, sent out a warm invite, and the kids landed right inside the residence of Sanjay at Magnum Opus, Seven Bungalows, Andheri. As they say, the rest was History for the kids! The kids who have shown a great range of talent with their delightful songs were showered with utmost praise, love and affection. Also present to wish the kids were the ace choreographer, Vaibhavi Merchant and musical maestro, Ismail Darbar. A very intense human being and intense film maker is what all refer the great film maker as, but his generosity and hospitability towards the kiddos was a picture-perfect shot, a very candid moment, after all!!

A group of law firms has found itself at loggerheads with the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) over solicitors' involvement in health and safety investigations.
The HSE claims employers' solicitors should not be present when inspectors are interviewing employees after work-related incidents. The law firms, led by DLA Piper Rudnick Gray Cary regulatory partner Roy Tozer and Burges Salmon's Chris Jackson, contend otherwise.
The debate has led to uncertainty over the profession's obligations while proposed Law Society guidance on the issue is redrafted.
Jackson said: "This is an issue about fair representation and the interests of justice. It's about a criminal investigator wanting to stack the odds in its favour."
Disagreement arose last year after the HSE wrote to the Law Society suggesting that the presence of solicitors who accompanied employees at interviews investigating workplace incidents intimidates the employees.
The firms, the HSE and the Centre for Corporate Acc-ountability all made representations to the Law Society on its draft guidance, stating that it would be ethically incorrect for employer's solicitors to sit in on interviews. The Law Society's rules and ethics committee delayed the adoption of the guidance in October and again on 2 December and is now preparing to issue amended guidance in the New Year.
Lobbying firms also included Beachcroft Wansbroughs, Eversheds, Hammonds, Pinsent Masons and Shoosmiths.
The HSE declined to comment.

Treading footsteps,
Your voice reckons with the wind,
Complacently challenging the voice of years,
The whisper of age,
The screams of forever.
You beg to differ with immortality,
stabbing wounds into the punctured sky,
A star pocked magnet for emotion,
The remnants of a forgotten pantomime,
With a story dying between the cherry blossom.
And characters untold.
For every voice has reason,
Not every voice has rhyme,
Not like mine,
Not like mine.

At least one organizer of the annual 420 smoke up says they pay their fair share to cover all the costs.
"We have created a Frankenstein by accident."
Jodie Emery says they meet with city planners, police, and everyone else to carefully plan the event out.
She says they also, this year, raised 20-thousand dollars to help cover the bill.
"We hold a number of meetings with the city and we, the organizers, have agreed to take on all of the costs associated with security, fencing, porta potties, first aid booths, and walkie talkies. We coordinate and communicate with the city and police regularily."
While Emery admits its less a protest and more a mainstream event these days it still cannot get a permit.
"The city has asked us to apply for a permit but they agree we can't meet the requirements. The insurance required and the fact that many of the vendors are voluntarily paying to cover security, first aid, and sanitation. The process for getting a permit would mean that this event can't continue."
Emery says while other festivals and celebrations require permits the 420 event is more unique than that.
"Marijuana being in that grey zone makes 420 very unique. We are not like car free days. They are not breaking any laws. We are not like yoga on thebridge. We are not like the gay pride parade."
Emery says even if the organizers backed away from holding the event because they couldn't get a permit thousands of people would still jam the art gallery grounds every April 20th.
That said she admits there has been some discussion about changing the events location.
"50,000 people don't show up because they have a personal invite. They show up to that place because for 20 or so years they always have. Our concern it that if we try and move the event it will be really hard to get people to another location."
The city of Vancouver says it costs almost 93-thousand-dollars to hold this years 420 event.
