With nearly a decade of history under their belt, Yukon Blonde is on course to establishing itself as one of Canada's most acclaimed and cherished indie rock bands. Their latest release, Tiger Talk, is a departure from their previous, more laid-back 70s inspired rock n roll, and is propelling the band past the club scene and into theatres. Recently, Stylus had the opportunity to speak with the band's chief songwriter and lead vocalist, Jeff Innes, about the band's success, the meaning of Tiger Talk, and the personal impact of touring full-time.
The band has come a long way since scrapping the name Alphababy and becoming Yukon Blonde a little over three years ago. "It's kinda cool. I feel like we're growing up," Innes says about their growing success. "We've got a really good rhythm of touring. It's starting to feel like more of a legitimate job."
The band recently signed to Dine Alone Records, one of Canada's premiere indie labels, and is currently on the road with fellow Canadian rock sensation The Sheepdogs. Their single, "Stairway," has even been featured on a Toronto Blue Jays commercial, and was covered by Dan Mangan as a B-side on his latest 7". Tiger Talk was longlisted for the 2012 Polaris Music Prize.
"In 2006, Dan Mangan opened up for us in the seediest bar in all of Vancouver," Innes reminisces proudly. Long-time good friends, Yukon Blonde was also the band at Mangan's wedding.
Innes speaks about the band with a sincere duality. While clearly honest and utmost appreciative of Yukon Blonde's success so far, he is also sharply cognizant of the sacrifices that have made any of it feasible. "You have to sacrifice pretty much everything," he explains.
At the time of talking, Innes was in Vancouver doing overdubs for a commercial ("I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say anything about that," he says half-jokingly), and was about to see his girlfriend for the first time in four months. Meanwhile, his bandmates were in Toronto, where they now reside during their time off. "It was weird," he jokes. "It was the first time we haven't seen each other everyday."
They don't have homes, instead opting to sublet rooms from friends as they see fit. "I don't know what a normal life is… it's kind of weird," Innes admits. In fact, in order to pay for Tiger Talk, the band purged their only permanent space at the time – yes, a jam space – and sold various objects to help pay for the recording process.
Indeed, it's fitting that the album that has seen so much success is largely about the personal strife of being in a full time touring band. The record was written while on tour in the United States – Innes would lock himself in a hotel room, and punch out piles of songs. "A lot of it was written on days off. There would be two or three days between tours… it would all build up so much on tour," Innes says.
Consequently, about 50 demos were put forward for Tiger Talk. Yet the ones that made the cut were a collection of tunes that Innes initially intended for a side project, and that clearly strayed from their previous efforts. When rearranged with the band, the road environment in which they were written shone through. "It's about touring the States… that's pretty much what the record is," Innes explains. "It's a romantic record, but I [also] feel like it's a desperate record."
Their single, "Stairway," takes the listener there in an evocative and considerate manner: "I'm wishin' I could be home right now, right home to you," he sings overtop a rhythm section that drives like one on tour, drinking shit coffee from some middle-of-nowhere gas station as a means to stay awake.
Still, when reminiscing about the challenges of making a meaningful record, Innes looks forward to new opportunities with little hesitation or complaints. The band manages to keep things fresh for themselves on the road, viewing tour "as an open idea instead of a fixed burden." With a pile of 7"s and EPs under their belt, they have built an impressive catalogue of music, and have no plans of quitting anytime soon.
"Of course," Innes says matter-of-factly when asked if there will be another Yukon Blonde record.
Listen for yourself by picking up the album and attending their live performance opening for The Sheepdogs at The Burton Cummings Theatre on December 11th, 2012.

How Different Stages of Product Life Cycle Impact Your Pricing Strategies?
New year comes with new products! As an Amazon seller, you are probably performing product research to discover new and trending products to attract shoppers. Getting the right price for your products is a key aspect of your business. When a new product enters the market, its product life cycle begins. From the beginning to the end, each stage of product life cycle will require a different pricing strategy to maximize product profitability.
Before you make your purchasing decision, let's dig into the nitty-gritty of product life cycle, so you will have a better idea on how to find products that are growing in popularity to help you generate more revenues.
- Introduction stage
When a new product is brought into the market, it is unknown to most buyers. Even though there is no review or rating, the product faces hardly any competition. In order to quickly create a demand for a new product, sellers can set the price lower than competitors, or offer a reduced introductory price for a limited time to attract customers and generate some word of mouth. However, pricing your products too low will not only hurt profits, but also it will lead buyers to undervalue your products, or even suspect that you are selling counterfeit goods.
- Growth stage
As the number of your product reviews increases steadily, the sales volume of your new product is also on the rise. Sellers can increase selling price gradually due to growing market demand. On the other hand, your potential competitors are also aware of your product and have started selling it. You should strive to provide good customer service to achieve a higher customer retention rate at this stage.
- Maturity stage
In maturity stage, growth slows down and eventually stabilizes. Price wars and sales promotion become common due to intense competition. Sellers should know how to differentiate themselves and emphasize their unique selling points to eliminate competition for increasing or maintaining market shares.
- Decline stage
It happens to any kind of product that slowly enters a recession after they have been in the market for a while. When shoppers start showing little interest in a product, the sales would start to decline. Sellers will usually devise some promotions such as a discount, free shopping, or bundle sales to keep products in decline stage as attractive as possible. Sellers may also choose the option of getting rid of products showing a decline in popularity to prevent slow-moving inventory issues.
Pricing is always the key factor in increasing sales on Amazon, so this is why automated repricers exist. In the first stage, sellers can create their own repricing rule to get the Buy Box first with a repricer, and bring as many sales to your store as possible. When it moves to the Growth stage, sellers can set a minimum and maximum price for a listing to prevent its price falling below your break-even price. As reviews and ratings increase, sellers can customize their repricing rules by choosing which type of merchants to compete with through the final two stages in product life cycle. If you want to implement the best pricing strategy in each stage, you'll need Repricing Central to accurately adjust your price in an instant.

by Susanne Maziarz, Music Director at Neighbourhood
Are you hiding your inner rocker? There is a chance for you to come out and be part of the music made at our Sunday service.
Neighbourhood's Spirit Band is always looking for instrumentalists and vocalists to join us in preparing for one of our Sunday services.
The Spirit Band core is Kendrew Pape (guitar, harmonica, vocals), Sean Thomas (guitar, vocals), Balazs Farkas (cajon, vocals) and Susanne Maziarz (bass, keys, vocals). We meet on Monday evenings, following the Spirit Choir rehearsal, from 9:30 – 11 pm and provide the music for one Sunday service every six weeks throughout the church year (September – June). It takes us a couple of weeks to throw song ideas around to make sure they relate well to the theme of the service (and to our musical abilities) and we rehearse for the three Mondays preceding the service we are scheduled for. For example: the theme of "Conflict As Opportunity" on May 15th inspired Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood by The Animals and We Can Work It Out by The Beatles.
The next service we play, themed "Our Search for Meaning – What Did You Find?", is June 19th. Does that strike any song ideas in you? Please come out and join the band; it is an opportunity to share your soul and spirit with this spiritual community unlike any other.
Send suggestions to email@example.com.

Russia's Gift giver is called Ded Moroz. Ded is short for Dedooshkah. Which means grandfather and Moroz is the word for frost. So he is Grandfather Frost.

Good Morning! I am limping into the day...
We have a garbage disposal in our kitchen sink (an electric unit that allows what most countries compost to be sent down a drain) . Yesterday in my disappointment (in myself for wasting foods) I needed to toss some left overs that I got a bit to busy to use up. I really hate to throw out our resources like that. Well the garbage disposal is temperamental and I often forget to use care and dispose of th foods slowly paying attention to the needs of the disposal. When I don't allow it to work as it should it jams. Then I have a real mess, usually stinky one too (for the foods that might be spoil are the ones that get tossed).
So yesterday I jammed the garbage disposal. I usually get Beloved to come in with the plunger and fix my mess and it is not a fun task. Often you get splashed with disgusting water...You get the idea?
Well beloved was at work and I had a mind to get the kitchen cared for. It was in my heart to fix my neglected kitchen so it would be the way I like it. I went and got the plunger and did the job and then sanitized the plunger (Spoiled turkey was the culprit) . It smelled real bad too, but the point is I took care of it myself. I have depended on Hubby when he is home to do what I can do for myself if in a pinch (just because I hate doing it) . Hubby takes good care of me indeed.
I need to take the responsibility to take good care of me.
After my guest left last night I was drawn into Ephesians 6. I noticed how the very same text that tells us how important it is to respect the role of Mother Father, tells us To be strong in union with God. It goes onto speak of the armor and Standing sure footed.
I then went to bed. I found myself awakened around 3 a.m. to being very ill. An illness all too familiar.
You see I treat myself like that garbage disposal under the kitchen sink. I have been sloppy eating wheat and such. NOT GOOD. The wheat then causes my pipes to swell and then just like the one under the sink the problems begin and end with a terrible bowel disruption and the overflow of vomiting.
Then who should come into me aide...? My Beloved.
Finding me shivering and cold on the bathroom floor so weak and ill that I can not tend to my self. He cleaning up my illness and covering me with towels. This lasted two hours or so and has left me weak today.
I am not a garbage disposal but I often treat myself like one. I will give greater consideration to another than to excuse myself from eating things that I am allergic to ( my guest made a wonderful chicken noodle soup (wheat noodles...I promised her next time I would speak up). I will also cram those things into my "pipe whole" that I should not (wheat cookies the kids made).
As I am aging, just like that machine under the sink, I am loosing the ability to get buy with too much junk crammed in at once :)
Not only that but it is not so fair to my Beloved to make him responsible to loose sleep caring for me when avoidance would have been the higher road. I was threatened with a colonoscopy bag at one point two years ago this was so bad. My pipes would clog for up to two weeks at a time causing violent illness and loss of function. It is do to the swelling of the colon wall from the allergy to wheat and milk and such. So the old remedies are not applicable.
I managed somehow to do my morning chores and kids to school. Now the tasks I need to do are also hindered because of my lack of respect for myself and lack of discipline.
Maybe you can relate.

Time to admit (on the blog) an eating disorder. I have struggled all of my life with being able to manage my feelings in a healthy way. Food is a pacifier and a punisher for me. When I want to be nice to my self I have a "treat". When I am angry with myself I binge (eat stuff that will make me feel bad). When I am hurt I treat myself to make myself "feel better"Food for me is a feelings barometer. My meal plan....well I am not worth the hassle (although I know I need to be) . See a pattern here? I do.
I have been over extended and also neglectful of not only my meal plan for weight loss but I am ignoring my hands care as well. I just have too many things to attend to and in my habitual way "Taking care of me (my body) is just a hassle". Same with my knee (terror here) I do not want a knee replacement. I am over tired too.
I do not want to check my weight because I see "failed" on the scale. It is depressive. I know what I need to do. I do the things I do not want to do and do not do those things I do want to do.
I got up at 4:30 with Dash and am tired so NAP TIME for mom. It is 8:30 now, and I just dropped the kids off at school.
Maybe someone can relate. Real and honest.

This is an exert form a devotional Shorty Bear sent me...
1. A homemade gift. Giving something you make represents time and effort invested on the recipient's behalf. Each year, we make hot chocolate for our neighbors, scoop it into decorated mason jars and deliver it to their doorstep. The best part is ringing the doorbell and the running like crazy! Our neighbors love it and it has become a prized family tradition.
2. A treasured gift. Give something you already have, something that is of special value to you. Not your junk, but your treasure. Don't ask the question, "What can I buy for Sally?" Ask the question, "What do I have that would mean a lot to Sally?" My pastor husband once mentioned in a sermon that he collects old Bibles. The next Christmas, one of our church members gave him an old and cherished family Bible. It is still one of Dan's most precious gifts.
3. A gift of time. When we give thirty minutes of time, we are giving thirty minutes of life. While Dan was in seminary, we were always short on time and money. When Christmas came, one of our friends handed us a Christmas card with his gift inside, a coupon good for one afternoon of babysitting each week for the whole year. To this day, I still remember how thrilled I was when Scott handed us that card. Give a gift of time spent in prayer for a friend or an afternoon of errands run for an older friend. Time is a precious gift.
4. A gift of encouragement. Tell someone what they mean to you. Write it down so they can read your encouraging words several times. Writing it down can help you say it better and requires more time and thought. You can also make a tape or CD of encouraging words and thoughts for those who can't see well or for that hurried mom who spends much of her life in a car. In my bible, I have several notes tucked as bookmarks for special verses; notes of encouragement that have keep me on my feet during difficult times.
5. A blind gift. Give a gift to someone you don't even know; a gift that is given in Jesus' name, just because you love Him. I recently read an article about a millionaire who sets aside large sums of money at Christmas. Dressed in a disguise, he then walks the streets, pressing $100 bills into the hands of the needy. "It makes my whole year," he says.
6. A secret gift. Give a gift to someone you know without them knowing who gave it. Give with no hidden motive and with no possible benefit to yourself. Like most newlyweds, Dan and I were on an extremely tight budget during the first years of marriage. At one point, we had no money for groceries, a fact we shared with no one but God. We wanted to see what He would do. Returning from church one Sunday night, we started up the steps to our mobile home. There, on the sidewalk, was a brown package.

We had a really amazing weekend.
Friday night when I was preparing a dress for me and pants for beauty to ware to a Christmas Ladies (Mother/Daughter dinner at the new church . I was speaking on the phone to Beloved. I was telling him with Beauty and I doing something special he needed to find something special to do with Dash.
I had hung up for speaking with him and then the phone rang (just then). It was Diann (A new friend who we know from the kids school and our new church) Her and her husband Drew were calling us to offer a gift. Drew had purchased tickets to a hockey game with a voucher for hats and hot dogs with drinks! WOW! what a splurge. Beloved was stunned and thrilled to have such an adventure with Dash. They took Drew up on the generous offer. The bad part was that there little man was and has been ill with upper respiratory problems. If your out there I hope he is doing better today. Thank you so much. Beloved needs to call Drew and tell him how very much it meant to him. He hopes to call tonight, after the adoption day celebration for Dash is over.
Beauty and I went to the dinner and met up with Debbie and her delightful mother, MILove and her sister. We unfortunately were not able to all sit together. Beauty and I sat at an other table. Beauty was a bit board and so after the meal she was bummed out a bit yee haw some "time with mom" boring! I looked down at the good little sport and said ..."How would you like to get out of here and go play?" Her face lit up! she was so delighted! I did not know what to do but I had a few tokens from a pizza place in my purse and then realized that we had gone back to the grocery and fixed a mistake the store made I had $8 bucks in my purse and so we went to a "jungle Jim's pizza game center" and played the games. She was so delightful. She is really good at basket ball, a very good athlete. I really need to try to get more of that into her life. We then went home and wrapped the gift she got for her Daddy and for her Brother. That really pleased her. It was just her and I.
Beauty was up a lot of the night coughing, she had been on antibiotic for a sinus infection. Beloved lost around three hours sleep because just when he got her to sleep then Willy started vomiting again. He grabbed a sweet potato off the counter top and got a nasty mouth fun.
Saturday was a real treat! It started of with a morning play date that I canceled... Beloved and Beauty asleep until after 9 a.m. and Dash with me awake and busy. We had breakfast and I did the kitchen.
Everything was arranged for the day. So after beauty woke up (from the cough medication that knocked her out) she was good. We decided with the encouragement of Michelle to keep on track and have a Man/ Woman day the Mom/Dad needed a time out! :)
So Michelle and Joe took the kids from noon till 4:30 THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
Jaye gave me a cell phone!!!! she has it as a extra and told us if it gets lost it is alright...we can cover the $10 a month and no problems if not... I accepted it.
That is strange to have a phone with me. It was nice to check on the kids. Beloveds folks gave us one some time back and we just do not like to have bills. It is such a luxury to me to use a cell phone. This is one that Jaye assures me no one wants needs or uses. No problem if it gets lost. You see Beloved and I would rather do without than to ever owe anyone. If we can not buy it ourselves we can not afford to replace it if it gets damaged. It is a way of character we have always lived by. I am so sorry for all those who have so often offered us to loan things. We would just be devastated if we could not rerun it as received. So we do not borrow.
He and I went to lunch at a wonderful Chinese restaurant called Pie Wei so good! It is like home cooked food done right! A big treat for me being as I cook every day. It was a luxury that was so enjoyed! Thank you Honey!
It was then, off to the picture show via a sweet gift card from a very thoughtful friend :) Thank you!!!!!! We watched a sweet movie " Life according to Dan" it was delightful! very good movie for the choices out there I am so glad we went to see it. I highly recommend it not "perfect", but really good.
We then went to Wal- mart to look for dishes. See post. We are so very careful these days to save every dime that it was hard for me to do this purchase. I had dishes and I did not NEED new ones. I could go on using them for a long time to come. Beloved had had enouhg of them. Now I really see why. I did not know the difference they would make. The old cups were all cracked and a lot of the finish is worn off. They were so heavy ! Wow the new ones are so easy to work with.!! I am so amazed! I would have to just lift may bee three plates at a time. Now I can easily pick up all 8 and lift them onto the shelf with out any struggle at all! WOW that makes it so mush less work to unload the dishwasher and stack! They take up so much less room too. What a big difference.
Then it was off the the bicycle shop and Beloved got new handle bars to lift up my posture on the bike. The therapist was concerned that my back was going to wind up a problem with being bent over so while peddling. We drove around and got some toner for the copier that has been out for 6 months. It is so nice now. the papers don't come out half black from the overflow getting on the paper. I had a big issue (just the stress of it) though because it is so hard to save and so easy to spend.
We drove around and went out to a supper at a Cracker Barrel and drove around some more looking for lights but could not find any big displays. We did not check the papers though. We hope to take the kids around soon.
Jaye met up with the children, here at 4:30, and watched them until 9P.M.! She totally played them out and they all had such fun! Thank you !! I will be very careful with it.
When we got home Beauty was a mess with her mania, it was really hard to come home too. She calmed down after about a half hour of working with her. Poor Dash missed out on Mommy because I had to tend to Beauty. She just gets so undone when she is tired. I slipped away to love on Dash and he fell asleep with his little arm around my neck.. He was tired. "Auntie" Jaye had a ball with them and they with her. She was even asked if she was their Grandma ha!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!! Every kid needs that sort of "Grandma" time. Just think how I feel when Beauty's peers asked if I was her Grandma! They showed me the ornaments and candy and toys!!! A cell phone for Beauty! (play one but she does not know that) . It is really funny she is practicing phone manners on a toy cell phone.
Sunday was spent minding fencings. Mis- understandings from the night before. It can not go without effect when parents go so long between alone times. We both get so tired we just need to be heard and neither has enough to really listen clearly to the other. We are very good friends. I need to listen better. I heard one thing but it was not his heart toward me. I was hurt because I was in "I" and not into Him and what he really meant. It is a good thing to always think the best of one another it made the mending of hurts more easy. Marriages can get full of frustrations when the marriage relationship gets so taxed by duties of life.
We got togeather and fixed the kitchen shelving problems. That is very loving of Hubby to do. His is a "Love Launguage of service" I think mine is words and service. He put the new handle bars on and it is great. What a difference 4 inches can make! I can ride now without the low back pain being so bad.
Now we just missed the viper literally! see this post.
We had a nice family movie night "the Walton's" and I baked a chicken. Our lives are full. We have so many adventures too.

Four Awakening Truths.
December 7, 2007 1:04 PM
Pardon me folks but this soul left no other way to respond to the question. If you truly want to understand it might be helpful to leave and easier way to contact you than to have to do a post to do so.
This comment can be found after this post.
Now I am not sure why you have issue with this, The scripture speaks about avoiding vain arguments. This sorta feels like one I do not want strife.
My heart that morning was feeling compassion. There are those who KNOW Him and those who do not but all who KNOW what it is to hurt. I was preaching to no one... I was sharing my heart with those who may be there is cyber space who hurt. That they might be comforted.
If perhaps you mean what am I preaching in general on my blog?
I listened to your suggested sermon. I was able to hear most of it the audio was old and hard to hear at times. I did not dis agree with it in fact found it very good stuff. I do believe that it is the Holy Spirit who quickens us. It is not my attempt to preach anyone into salvation. I just hope to support the working out of it in the lives around me and in my own. To offer and then find support as well. We are "becoming new", that speaks of a process.
I think there was a pained hurt that the questionable accusation hit me. Do you intend to hurt or just question? I do not mind questions. In fact I love to share ideas and hopes and dreams. I do not EVER wish to hurt anyone. Many have been hurt in the vain attempts of religion. Even in the wonderful sermon these things are spoken of.
Jesus plus nothing means to me that it is HE alone who I believe in not works of my flesh or acts of piety that will quicken my heart to God. I am a dead man walking without The Spirit of God giving me LIFE ( that is LIFE not performance or attempts to achieve on my own "holiness"). Grace is UNMERITED favor. I am a woman who lves God with all my heart, soul and mind. Mercy undeserved kindness.
Why you may ask do I not just say so.
Strife! That is why I respect others and try to offer an understanding non-religious blog. My relationship with God is just that...My relationship, my friendship that extends out to my "Friends (Abba God)" friends and all those who my "Friend" cares so deeply about. Whether we all think alike or not. Whether quickened or not. The compassion's I feel are based on the Grace and Mercy I have been shown. The bent I take has been educated from years of religious (doctrines of men) wounds.
Now the Battle is to choose life or death. Yes we have an enemy who hunts us down to kill steel and destroy. Too many religions deal with him as if he is really not there and the effect of this is when things happen God gets blamed and people walk away thinking God has abandoned them. If they would of just been told that there is a battle going on they may have sought to be armed.

Parallel Query for MySQL with Shard-Query
While Shard-Query can work over multiple nodes, this blog post focuses on using Shard-Query with a single node. Shard-Query can add parallelism to queries which use partitioned tables. Very large tables can often be partitioned fairly easily. Shard-Query can leverage partitioning to add paralellism, because each partition can be queried independently.

By Editors of Power Engineering
NRG Energy has announced the company has closed on the 1.5-GW utility-scale solar and wind developments from SunEdison.
The acquisition of the projects, some of which are still in varying stages of development, will expand NRG into new markets for solar, including Hawaii and Utah, as well as bolster the company's presence in its existing markets.
The largest elements of the purchase include a partnership interest in a 530-MW portfolio of seven solar developments in Utah and a 154-MW solar project in Texas.
The purchase agreement came from SunEdison's chapter 11 bankruptcy filing in April 2016 due to $11 billion in debt accrued through major expansion and the failed acquisition of Vivint Solar.
In a separate purchase, NRG has also acquired 17 MW of solar projects in California, Florida, Massachusetts and Connecticut and 12 MW of construction-ready projects in Massachusetts.
As a result of the purchases, over 10 percent of NRG's power generation capacity now comes from renewable energy sources.

Canadian Cannabis Shortages Spark Post-Legalization Reckoning
Nationwide cannabis shortages since Canada went legal last month are causing some provinces to rethink their distribution plans.
Canada's licensed cannabis suppliers have been struggling to keep enough product in stock in the weeks since legalization hit in on Oct. 17. Now, Alberta's provincial government has decreed that retailers will no longer be able to order cannabis online in an effort to control supply.
On Nov. 12, the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Authority (AGLC) informed all retailers in the province that they will have to manually order their next shipment. When cannabis went legal on Oct. 17, licensed retailers could place orders with the AGLC online — on a first-come, first-serve basis. But this contributed to what Canada's Global News wryly called a "chronic shortage" in the province. Of course, it is worth noting the cannabis shortage is only for legal cannabis and the illicit market is still thriving in Canada.
Joshua Vera of the Elevate Cannabis outlet in Edmonton was pictured in the Global News despondently hanging a sign on the door of his business reading "SORRY, WE'RE OUT OF STOCK." Vera described his stressful experience of the past weeks: "You're not sleeping much. When something was uploaded to the system, it was a matter of literally seconds before it was gone."
The Global News reported that stock was similarly exhausted or rapidly dwindling at most retailers in the Edmonton area (where Alberta's dispensaries are clustered). Meanwhile, just a few were very well-stocked — presumably, those most adept at gaming the online system. The Fire and Flower retailer indicated it had "lots" of stock at all of its outlets.
AGLC's Riaz Nejad said, "We're not aware of any bots being used, we're just aware of people being online 24/7 basically, trying to order product. And some were successful in achieving that and others were unsuccessful in achieving that."
Under the new policy, each Monday, retailers will be given 24 hours to manually fill out an order form. The AGLC then divide what product it has among them.
"I think this fair allocation of the inventory will ensure every retailer gets a fair shot at some product instead of some maybe getting more and some getting none," Nejad said.
Canada Dry: Cannabis Shortages Stretch Across Canada
The cannabis shortages have plagued provinces from British Columbia to the Maritimes. The Canadian Press reports that the province of New Brunswick was forced to temporarily close more than half its stores, while the Quebec Cannabis Corporation (or Société Québécoise du Cannabis) has restricted its store opening hours to four days a week. Labrador's only cannabis outlet was forced to temporarily close its doors after being without any product for nearly two weeks.
Khurram Malik, CEO of Toronto-based Biome Grow Inc, said the shortages are in part due to strict regulations imposed by Health Canada on the country's 132 Licensed Producers.
"The rules here are so difficult to grow cannabis… that if you're a new license holder and you've never done this before, it's going to take you a year, year-and-a-half, or two years to get any decent, consistent quality product out the door in any predictable volumes," said Malik.
Outages in Ontario
Simple bureaucratic ineptitude also seems to be playing a role here. Global News reports that Ontario's official Ombudsman has received more than 1,000 complaints about the province's online cannabis store since it opened earlier this month. Complaints have concerned delayed deliveries, poor communication with customers and billing problems. The Ontario Cannabis Store warned on its website last week that delivery times for orders may be longer than expected due to "unbelievably high demand" and a labor action at Canada Post.
Retail stores are not expected to open in Ontario until April, with the provincial government to start reviewing license applications next month. In a bid to stop the emergence of vertical monopolies, provincial authorities just announced that retail licenses will not be issued to a company more than 9.9 percent owned by one or more Licensed Producers.
Industry voices have also protested this move as burdensome. The executive director of the Cannabis Council of Canada, Allan Rewak, told the Canadian Press he is "disappointed," as some LPs who have invested in retail chains may be prevented from entering the Ontario market.
Saskatchewan Showdown with First Nations
Another question concerning control of the industry has emerged in Saskatchewan, where authorities are demanding the closure of a cannabis retail outlet operating on an indigenous reserve without provincial authorization. Saskatchewan Justice Minister Don Morgan was quoted by the Canadian Broadcasting Corp: "It would be our position that somebody setting one up without a provincial license would not be legal, would not be authorized. I would urge them to stop going ahead with it."
The Muscowpetung First Nation, some 70 kilometers northeast of Regina, passed its own cannabis law by popular vote on Nov. 12 — with 86 percent voting in favor. The Mino-Maskihki Cannabis Dispensary opened the next day. Whether it remains open may help determine what Canada's new cannabis order will look like, and establish the degree to which First Nations have sovereign power in the matter. With several of Canada's First Nations looking to legal cannabis for economic development, the case will be closely watched.
A letter from Muscowpetung chief Anthony Cappo calling on band members to vote in favor of the law stated that "as a sovereign treaty nation, Muscowpetung has the authority to regulate the use and sale of Cannabis/Hemp within our Nation."
TELL US, what should Canada do to avoid legal cannabis shortages?

Those shortages did not start after cannabis became legal! I'm a medical cannabis patient and my licensed producer (Medreleaf) has been clean out of high THC strains since April. My clinic says that all of the LP's have been out of stock since then. The greedy shysters have been stockpiling those strains for the recreational market and leaving medical patients with nothing but empty promises "it'll be in next week". I'm fed up being stuck ordering lower THC strains for the same price and having to use two to three times as much to get the same effect as the strains I normally use. I'm also sick of having to do without – without sleep, without pain relief – when I can't afford to pay twice as much as I used to. My next order and all subsequent orders will be from black market online retailers. Screw the greedy LPs and screw the pretty boy jackass in Ottawa who said he's hitting us with a sin tax because he thinks we're all fakers using it recreationally. That's the real reason they're taxing patients.
First Nations are NOT nations and must follow regulations like everybody else.
Cannabis shortages are the norm in every new jurisdiction. The huge demand always outstrips limited supply. Given unlimited production in Caanada, however, there will be more pot than we can consume in twelve months time. Prices will drop and the market will mature.
In the meantime, I continue to legally self produce under the medical regulations. I got lots of pot!
@Maxcatski First Nations should be allowed to sell cannabis with as little interference from the nanny-state as possible. Many tribes have been producing herbal remedies for thousands of years… Let there be competition and see how things play out. Right now, it's all about big corporations and pharmaceuticals… Perhaps we need to let the free market do what it does best ; level the playing field #crony_capitalism #liberty_and_freedom #innovation

Would you recommend this product?No reviews yet
Dang! Came here to post this as well :) Let me see if I can get @ianhirschfeld to come chat about the game's creation. Ian, can you talk about coming up with "Dungeons and Dragons for mobile", and how the development process worked translating a well-established role playing game to a new medium?
Upvote (1)
Well the base rule set for Role was conceptualize by my partner (and the designer/writer) on the project, @logandwight. Whenever we played a tabletop RPG together he was always DM and would modify rules to allow for more freeform play and less stat crunching. In college, we continued to play that way and all of our friends repeatably told us how much fun it was compared to just following the complicated rules that came with D&D or Shadowrun. Originally, we were just going to release the game as a pen and paper product and then decided bringing it to phones and taking advantaged of tech would make the game more streamlined and easier to get into.

Translating the game to a new medium was so much fun! Our goal was: can we make a tabletop RPG as easy to pick up and play as Apples to Apples or Cards Against Humanity. For us, storytelling is always the most fun part of playing a RPG. With that in mind we tried abstracting as much of the dice rolling and number crunching as possible. We also wanted to have systems in place that help with the ideation phase that many tabletop RPGs have. For that we built in a little randomizer that can help players come up with characters to be or adventures to play. Overall, it was a fun challenge to try and figure out how to best use a phone to streamline gameplay and help players out dynamically that can't be done with a paper product.

Hey @ianhirschfeld & @logandwight! I totally agree with you that social games should be more social again. People should sit together and talk instead of building digital farms, etc. I also love the idea to include digital content into tabletop/party games or to use the benefits of an app for such games. What is your experience with everyone looking at their screens while playing the game? In the video and description it seems you are doing a lot with your phone. Isn't this a little contradictory to sit together and play a social game whilst you need to interact more with your phone instead of interacting with your friends? I'm very curious about your opinion on that!
Hey @dbleilevens, that is definitely a concern with any screen based app that is brought into a traditionally analog game. We purposefully designed the mechanics and interactions of Role to be simple and fast for exactly this reason. What we've seen while play-testing with others and through our own sessions, is that most people do not spend a majority of their time looking at the app. Typically, when a person's turn begins and they start storytelling, they put their phone down and don't come back to it until they need to roll. While this is happening we usually see the other players watching who ever is speaking because that person is usually very animated. Hopefully you will see this as well, when you play. Our goal with Role is very much NOT to replace the human interaction part of role playing, but is instead there to help ease the non-storytelling part of RPGs so that the people part is the main focus. :)

While not the biggest casino around, Casinoland definitely offers you enough to be spoilt for choice.

Whites Bay (Pukatea)
Last Modified: 21-2-2019 3:37
Known to local Māori as Pukatea, but known for its name associated with an American whaler, Black Jack White, Whites Bay provides a sandy beach sheltered from nor'westers, and surrounded by rugged mountainous terrain with regenerating native vegetation, and is the closest swimming beach to Blenheim.
The bay is administered by the Department of Conservation, and overnight camping is permitted for a fee.
Road access is from Rarangi, by taking the Port Underwood road. This road is steep and narrow, so caution is required, however the road is sealed until Whites Bay.
Lifeguards patrol the beach during the summer, and beach volleyball and sandcastle competitions are among the other popular summer events that occur here.
In 1866 the first Cook Strait telegraph link between the North and South Islands began operating with the southern end coming ashore at Whites Bay. The telegraph operator's cottage is preserved as a historic building.
There are several walking tracks from the bay including the Black Jack Track, Whites Bay Track, and short Pukatea walk.
