Eine sehr tolle, detailreiche und geschmackvoll eingerichtete Finca. Nette Vermieter, toller Aufenthalt. Vielen Dank
Even though we arrived very late because of car hire in Majorca, we were taken by Magdalena very friendly and pleasant in reception. The apartment was very clean and lacked nothing. She was always there for us, is a very helpful person. We have felt very comfortable and would definitely come back. Greetings from Switzerland.

Jean Crowder Nanaimo—Cowichan, BC
Mr. Speaker, international human rights law states that whenever possible it is best to ensure children's welfare within the family and community.
Standards for child and family services are set by provincial and territorial governments. Funding on reserves, however, comes from the federal government.
In 2000 the federal government acknowledged that, on average, funding for indigenous children and family services was 22% lower per child than provincial funding for non-indigenous children, despite the higher costs of providing service in small and remote communities. The gap has increased every year since.
With one in ten status Indian children currently in care, it is unacceptable that this Conservative budget ignored the needs of these vulnerable children.
I call on all my colleagues in this House to support Jordan's principle, which states that when there is a jurisdictional dispute over a child's care, the needs of the child come first, without delay, and then there is a referral of that matter to jurisdictional dispute mechanisms.
I also call on the Conservative government to ensure this gap in funding is quickly closed.

David Sweet Ancaster—Dundas—Flamborough—Westdale, ON
Mr. Speaker, I would like to sincerely thank the people of Ancaster—Dundas—Flamborough—Westdale for their support and confidence and assure them that I will serve with my utmost strength and ability.
Ancaster—Dundas—Flamborough—Westdale is a riding that is resplendent in natural beauty, situated in and around the Niagara Escarpment. It is known as the land of waterfalls.
It is also known as a gem of higher learning and is home to two universities, McMaster and Redeemer.
From all sectors of agriculture to high tech and research based businesses, our riding's competitive advantage is the talent of hard-working people.
The vibrant communities of our riding voted for accountability on January 23. The people expect accountability in the way their member operates as well, which is why I am very pleased that our constituency office has a high set of standards for customer service, having already handled hundreds of requests for help and information in the first three months.
I am especially proud to be part of the government that introduced the accountability act. Yes, members heard right: we are bringing accountability back to government.
Atlantic Canada
Statements By Members
11 a.m.
Andy Scott Fredericton, NB
Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives, with a $13 billion surplus, had an unprecedented opportunity to make the strategic investments necessary to Atlantic Canada. However, they have squandered that chance.
The budget failed to even mention Atlantic Canada or regional economic development. Not only did it fail to renew the Canada strategic infrastructure fund for this year to advance many worthy projects in the province, there is no new money for the Atlantic innovation fund or ACOA's other programs.
Under our leadership, momentum was gaining in Atlantic Canada through the innovation agenda. The fact that this government is investing just one-tenth of what we had invested in federally funded university research shows it does not understand or believe in research and development.
To the Conservatives, R and D means review and diminish.
Atlantic Canada remembers that it was the Prime Minister who stated that Atlantic Canada suffers from a "culture of defeat". With the lack of funding provided to Atlantic Canada in its first budget, it is clear that the Conservatives have no interest in giving our region the tools we need to succeed.
Child Pornography
Statements By Members
11 a.m.
Myron Thompson Wild Rose, AB
Mr. Speaker, for 13 years I have fought tirelessly for the government to crack down on crime, restore safe and secure communities across this country and put the rights of victims and their families before those of criminals.
We are now on the brink of significant change in our justice system and I wonder if the opposition is up to the challenge. Just recently during debate I questioned the member for Ottawa South about his thoughts on child pornography and on putting the rights and safety of our children ahead of sexual predators. He answered in typical lawyerly fashion when he stated that we have to "remember that we have to strike a balance here". He said, "I believe the charter is now working for us in terms of its interpretation by the courts".
Let me tell the member loud and clear: there is no balance when children are being violated. Nothing short of a zero tolerance policy for all forms of child pornography will do.
There is no issue that should be more important to any government than the safety of our children. I am proud to stand here today and say that after 13 years of Liberal neglect and callousness toward the outlawing of child pornography our Conservative government is going to do something about it.
Air Transportation

Nicole Demers Laval, QC
Mr. Speaker, on the night of May 3, an Armavia airlines Airbus A320 crashed in the Black Sea. All 113 passengers, most of whom were from Armenia, were killed.
The accident, allegedly caused by poor weather conditions, occurred after the aircraft turned toward Adler airport near Sotchi, in southern Russia.
This tragedy is the worst air disaster ever to occur in Armenia. Many families were decimated, and a number of children lost their lives.
Armenia has declared two days of national mourning, today and tomorrow, to remember its victims.
My sympathies go out to the Armenian community at this difficult time, and I share Armenians' pain. I pray for the families and offer them my sincere condolences.
In closing, I invite all my colleagues to express their sympathies to the Armenian National Committee of Canada, here in Ottawa.
Canadian War Brides
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Daryl Kramp Prince Edward—Hastings, ON
Mr. Speaker, a constituent of mine, Mrs. Jean Deshane of Belleville, has brought to my attention the fact that this is the 60th anniversary of the Canadian war bride.
Having endured the adversities of war, 45,000 women, mostly of British stock, left behind their homes, families and all they knew for the arduous and often dangerous sea voyage to begin life anew in a foreign land.
Most were very young, between the ages of 19 and 21, and many had been separated from their husbands for months or years at a time. Save for those with small children, they travelled alone in aging and dilapidated vessels. For some, there would be no one to greet them at pier 21; their husbands had abandoned them, while others had died in the war.
Isolation, culture shock and homesickness would drive some women to return to Europe, but the vast majority, toughened by the experiences of war, would thrive. They and their husbands would become the backbone of a dynamic and thriving post-war economy.
Today I wish to pay tribute to their enormous sacrifice and thank them for their immeasurable contributions to building a modern Canada.

Mario Silva Davenport, ON
Mr. Speaker, Ramin Jahanbegloo, a Canadian citizen, is being detained in Iran. He is being detained because he had the courage to publicly challenge the racist rants of the Iranian president on the Holocaust.
Iran's government has proven itself to be racist and to have no problem with the murder of Canadian citizens in its prisons. The government must act now, before we are faced with another tragic murder by Iranian officials.
Iran has shown a disregard for the international community with its development of uranium, abuse of human rights, denial of the Holocaust and calls for the destruction of the state of Israel. Iran is a pariah state. It must be dealt with accordingly.

James Bezan Selkirk—Interlake, MB
Mr. Speaker, I am very happy to be part of a government that takes crime seriously and is going to deal with violent and repeat offenders with tough minimum sentences.
I am very disappointed with the Liberal member for Mount Royal who is flip-flopping on commitments he made just a few months ago. He is now attacking the Conservative government for wanting to crack down on crime and introduce minimum sentences that he used to say he supported.
On November 25, the last day of sitting before the former government was defeated, the member for Mount Royal put forward a bill doubling minimum sentences for gun crimes. The former Liberal justice minister is even offside with his own former leader who said that he agreed that there should be increases in punishment and that "there is no difference of opinion in that area".
I cannot believe the hypocrisy of these Liberal members. After a deathbed conversion during the last election to get tough on crime, they are now once again going soft and are willing to neither deal with the criminals nor protect our communities.
Automobile Industry
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Irene Mathyssen London—Fanshawe, ON
Mr. Speaker, it should be no surprise that the economic health of southwestern Ontario is dependent on the auto industry. Many families in my riding are particularly concerned about the Ford assembly plant in Talbotville, which will reduce its line speed, cut 280 jobs this July and drop down to one shift, cutting 900 more jobs by July 2007.
It is a benefit to everyone if Ford keeps its plant on two shifts. It is not just the jobs that are lost. Those workers buy products, use services and pay taxes. With the new Conservative tax cuts, Canada cannot afford to support more unemployment and hope to keep basic services, such as health care, running effectively.
Working families need jobs and the people in my riding of London—Fanshawe deserve employment. The fear is very real that Ford's next step is to shut down the plant entirely. That would devastate the community. We need more jobs, not fewer.
I hope the government is really interested in made in Canada solutions and will meet with the Ford Motor Company and find a way to keep jobs in Canada.
Firearms Registry
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Sukh Dhaliwal Newton—North Delta, BC
Mr. Speaker, over the past month I have had the privilege to meet with the Canadian Federation of University Women and the Coalition for Gun Control. Both organizations are working to correct so much of the misinformation around the gun registry and the licensing and permit requirements for firearms.
The facts are that since the gun registry has been in place, there has been a 62% decrease in the number of women murdered by firearms and a 63% decrease in the number of robberies with firearms across this country.
I call upon the government to look beyond the rhetoric of the gun lobby and get a bigger picture of the lives that have been saved since the registry began.
Carrefour Jeunesse-Emploi des Moulins
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Diane Bourgeois Terrebonne—Blainville, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Carrefour Jeunesse-Emploi des Moulins youth employment centre, in my riding of Terrebonne—Blainville, is celebrating this year its 10th anniversary. The youth policy and support concept it represents was a great initiative of the Parti Québécois.
In addition to the 10 years of operation of this organization, we want to acknowledge the outstanding work of its founding president and chief executive officer, Diane Hamelin.
Over the years, this kind-hearted, tenacious, enthusiastic and dynamic woman has shown leadership, surrounding herself with the professional team she needed to meet the objectives of this organization, which is an important player in our community when it comes to ensuring the social and professional integration of young adults.
Diane, on behalf of the Bloc Québécois, myself and the people of Terrebonne—Blainville, I say, "Well done!". The 16-35 generation in our area thanks you.
Child Care
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Marlene Jennings Notre-Dame-de-Grâce—Lachine, QC
Mr. Speaker, last November the NDP sold out to the Conservatives and now that strategy has cost Canada a national child care program. Yesterday's child care debate proves it.
After the throne speech, the NDP was "cautiously optimistic", and the NDP House leader had the gall to state, "We are making progress". Now the NDP is surprised that the Conservative budget keeps the Conservative promise to kill child care.
Amazingly, in NDP land the members continue to attack the Liberal opposition and give the Conservatives a free pass. The NDP told Canadians last election, "Lend us your vote just this one time". That is a mistake Canadians will not make twice.
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Bev Shipley Lambton—Kent—Middlesex, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise in the House today to emphasize the significance of agriculture to this great country of Canada.
For the first time in many years, our agriculture producers have a government that listened and then took action on a financial crisis that the previous government created and then failed to do anything about. Farmers are now represented by a government that will reinvest in the second largest industry in this country to the extent of $1.5 billion in additional funds.
I am proud to be a member of a government that keeps its promises. I commend the Minister of Finance, the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food and the Prime Minister for listening and taking action in such a positive way.
This is a great budget for farmers. It has proven that the government is committed to agriculture and will provide real investment in a real time of need.
The Budget
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Dominic LeBlanc Beauséjour, NB
Mr. Speaker, the Conservative budget has failed several groups in my riding and across Atlantic Canada.
The government's silence on improvements to EI for seasonal workers is a serious source of concern. The Conservatives are just looking at reducing EI premiums at the expense of those working in seasonal industries. The two-week qualifying period for benefits should be eliminated, because the expenditures of low-income families cannot wait two weeks. Fishers need money to fix their wharves, and this budget is offering them little hope.
The words "official languages" do not get to see the light of day in this budget. The francophone communities in my riding need the support of the federal government to build on their economic, social and cultural progress of recent years.
Reducing the taxes of the wealthiest will not solve all problems.
Laurent Pauzé-Dupuis
Statements By Members
11:15 a.m.
Claude DeBellefeuille Beauharnois—Salaberry, QC
Mr. Speaker, today I would like to honour the passing of a student from Hemmingford in Montérégie. Laurent Pauzé-Dupuis died on April 3 in Peking, China.
Laurent was 22 years old. Together with 1,300 other university students from all over the world, he was participating in a simulation of international debates using UN conferences as a model.
A student at McGill University in Montreal, Laurent was participating in the World Model United Nations 2006 as a representative of the Institut des sciences politiques de Paris.
Perhaps you may have seen him in the hallways of Parliament, as he was hired as a guide last year.
On behalf of the people of the riding of Beauharnois—Salaberry, I would like to offer my sincere condolences to his parents, Laurent and Michèle, his sister Gabrielle, and his partner Yumiko.

Minimum Wage Isn't Killing Capitalism
To The Reader's Forum:
In response to the letter of January 20 stating that the minimum wage is killing capitalism.
I believe the writer is either uninformed or insensitive to the growing poverty in the United States. Contrary to what most people think less than 20% of people earning minimum wage are under 25. The vast majority of those earners are women and those with families. The minimum wage has not kept up with inflation and has not helped to prevent poverty in this country. The US leads the developed world with the largest income gap, and it is continuing to grow according to the 2010 census.
In 1980 CEO pay was 42% more than the average employee, in 2011 it is 380%. The top fast food restaurants had annual earnings of 32.4 Billion to 8.4 B, while Walmart had earnings of 15.7B. Surely these Corporations can afford to pay their empoyees a liveable wage, which according to the bureau of Labor Statistics should be $13.25 and would raise millions of workers out of poverty.
Studies show that those Corporations would actually increase their earnings because their employees would then become their customers. Another point not talked about is that it is these employees who rely on food stamps and medicaid. The taxpayer is subsidizing these corporations huge CEO pay and profits.

By Parrish Alford/NEMS Daily Journal
OXFORD – Jarvis Summers has accomplished quite a bit in a year and a half in the Ole Miss basketball program.
One thing he hasn't done this season, though, is lock down a starting job.
Monday morning, Tennessee coach Cuonzo Martin called Summers one of the best in the league at "running his team and facilitating" offense.
Later in the day at his weekly news conference Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy was less sure about what his point guard spot will look like going forward.
"I'm waiting for somebody to take the reins, honestly," Kennedy said.
SEC play begins Wednesday for Ole Miss as the Rebels (11-2) travel to Tennessee (8-4).
Summers played in all 34 games as a freshman last year and started 30. He averaged 10.4 points, his 3.4 assists ranking ninth in the SEC. He led all freshmen in 3-point percentage (43.6) and led Ole Miss in scoring in the SEC tournament with 14.7 points over the three games.
While Martin accurately describes the sophomore Summers as a facilitator, freshman Derrick Millinghaus is a completely different style.
Millinghaus has gotten more minutes as he's returned from a knee injury.
"Jarvis has had his moments, Derrick has had his moments," Kennedy said. "They're totally different players, and they can both add a dimension to us that we need."
Summers has started 12 games to Millinghaus' one. Summers is averaging 23.3 minutes to Millinghaus' 18.5 and 7.1 points to Millinghaus 7.7
Millinghaus has committed five more turnovers in 118 fewer minutes.
seeking improvement
Summers said he'd like to see himself and his teammates improve their defense as conference play begins.
"It's the SEC, and it's going to be hard on the road. Everybody is good in the conference. We've got to step our defense up, and it starts with me from the point guard," he said.
Ole Miss leads the SEC in scoring at 83.1 points a game but is ninth in opponent scoring at 64.0.
Opponents are shooting 38.3 percent against Ole Miss, fourth in the league. The Rebels lead the SEC in 3-point defense at 27.0 percent but are just seventh in rebound margin at plus-3.8 per game.
Summers leads the SEC in assist-turnover ratio at plus-4.8 per game.
Hot Henderson
Junior college transfer Marshall Henderson overcame a four-game slump earlier this season to enter SEC play on a bit of a roll.
The guard leads the league in scoring at 18.2 points a game.
After shooting 21.7 percent from 3-point range over that stretch, Henderson has rallied to shoot 44.8 percent (26-for-58) over the Rebels' last six games.
"His last game, against Fordham, was probably his best game as a basketball player, because it wasn't just catch and shoot. He actually bounced the ball into some shots," Kennedy said. "He's been very coachable to that, and he put it into play against Fordham."

Team USA wins medals from Tennessee to Italy
For the second straight week, Team USA competed in 3 different events across the globe.
2012 Dragon Boat World Championships
Where: Milan, Italy
When: Aug. 30-Sept. 2
Links:Results. USA Recap. ICF Recap.
Who: The 78-member U.S. Dragon Boat Team finished fifth in the overall medal count with one silver medal and eight bronze medals. The U.S. Master Women's 20-person 2000m crew took the silver medal while the U.S. won bronze in both the Senior and Master Mixed 10-person 200m distances.
Mike Blundetto, U.S. National Team Coach: "Although the U.S. National Team was a bit inexperienced at this level with only one-third ever having competed at the World Level, all athletes rose to the occasion and represented very well. Next go around, I anticipate Team USA to be the team to beat because this year was a building year with athlete recruitment and with the success we had in Italy, I believe more qualified athletes from across the nation and within the USACK family will want to be a part of Dragon Boat USA's National Team. Great job Team USA!"

I just uploaded a binary beta release
http://proxmark3.googlecode.com/files/p … s_beta.zip
if you guys (well, people with some knowledge, because there are no documentation yet) could give it a try, if possible from a pristine windows (so I know whether or not I forgot some DLLs), that'd be great.
to flash the proxmark with it, just use:
flasher.exe ..\arm\fullimage.elf
from the bin directory.
Let me know how it goes...
(on a pristine windows computer, you'll *first* have to install the proxmark driver I included, since it will install the libusb0 DLL. The installation procedure *will* be documented of course...)
Edit: A bootrom is included. If someone (with JTAG ^^) can test it as well...
Edit2: I have updated the link to the beta version

Thanks iZsh and and marcan, the latest changes are pretty awesome.
I compiled the latest r405 tree in the proxspace environment (devkitARM-r27) and it compiles fine, no warnings or errors. The main os flashes and appears to work (issued some lf and hf commands and data plot window, but no antenna and no actual tag reading)
The bootrom fails to flash, see out output below (i've deleted some progress dots ... for brevity):

I'd test it, but I just packed up all of my equipment in preparation for RSA next week. I'll test it some when I get to San Francisco. :-P
Can you test the binary release? Because I'd really like to do a binary release for end users : they shouldn't have to compile anything. That'd prevent "non-developers" from compiling anything (which tends to yield to frustrations on both side).
@marcan: you fail
d18c7db: try svn again, I forgot to make the PHDRs explicit for the bootrom. The flasher is really paranoid and I'm trying to strictly follow some ELF semantics, so it issues that error if the BSS and DATA sections are merged because theoretically that would imply allocating space in Flash for BSS (even though that is unnecessary and makes no sense - it's an artifact of the way ROM images are built with ELF).
Heh, as luck would have it something went wrong, I don't think it's a problem with the source code, just something weird with the USB bus, I'll recover with the JTAG and try again

Can you confirm that flashing an old bootrom and then the new bootrom still works?
Yes that's what I did to recover, flashed an old Summer 2009 bootrom via JTAG then upgraded via USB.
The bootrom version glitch should be fixed now (had to add KEEP() to make sure the linker doesn't throw away the section)
I updated the link to the beta version
Just tested on a pristine windows host. Flashing worked fine however proxmark3.exe failed to start due to missing DLLs. First one encountered was mingwm10.dll but there may be more.
[url=http://proxmark3.com/]Buy a Proxmark[/url]
mingwm10.dll is available on the internet, could you tell me what's missing apart from this one?
as for the -static, that's not that simple unfortunately...
ok, I'll upload a new version tomorrow including the .dll.
I have to go atm
How to install drivers?
On XP, connect your Proxmark then click:
Control Panel -> System -> Hardware Tab -> Device Manager
Find the Proxmark under "Human Interface Devices", it will show up as a "USB Human Interface Device".
Right click the device and select "Update Driver", specify the proxmark_driver folder and you should be all set.
[url=http://proxmark3.com/]Buy a Proxmark[/url]
Ye, I think it is that way, but proxmark is not detected in this lists.
I have Windows 7 x64 and x86 and can't do it on both.
I will wait for some XP system
Thank You!
I updated the zip file. it now includes the missing dll and the bootrom fix from d18.
Hopefully this archive would now work just fine

Thank You!
tried http://proxmark3.googlecode.com/files/p … s_beta.zip (downloaded 03/01/2010) on a newly installed win os.
For installing USB driver I followed instructions from here: http://www.proxmark.org/forum/post/2813/#p2813
This is the magic: run msys\mingw\bin\inf-wizard.exe, it is a GUI app, click next, select the device with PID/VID 9AC4/4B8F, on the next screen leave everything as is (or you can put proxmark3 in the manufacturer name), click next and save the files back in msys\mingw\bin
Next go into the Windows Device Manager (right click My Computer, select Manage) and expand the Human Interface Devices tree, double click each device in turn and select the Details tab until you find the one with PID/VID 9AC4/4B8F, exit that dialog and right click that last device, select Update Driver, select "No" to windows connecting to Windows Update, select advanced on the next screen, select "Don't search, I will choose...", select "Have Disk", then browse to msys\mingw\bin and let it install the driver.
I got all the tools flasher, proxmark3, cli up and running...
I still get one error during "hw reset" or during flashing. I tried to build latest trunk (412), but issue stays. Here is what I get:
proxmark3> hw reset
write failed: usb_reap: reaping request failed, win error: one device connected to the system is not running...

Anybody can help on the meaning and on how to solve it?
probably nothing to worry about, looks like a timing issue since it seems to work after the 2nd attempt (when it tries to reopen the device it just sleeps for a while and try again, so it really depends how long it takes for your OS to reacquire the device). It seems to work just fine in your log, except of course the unnecessary error messages until it actually works.
BTW, the driver was included in the zip file (with the .inf file already generated), so you only had to tell the device manager to use it (but that's probably what you actually did? I'm not sure since you quoted the generation part as well).
Actually that "usb_reap" error is quite a pain if it happens in the middle of flashing the bootloader as it happened to me since you then have to break out the JTAG if you have it, or scream and pull your hair if you don't
When running in an XP VM, the client gets to fire off about one or two commands before the client goes loopy. By loopy, I mean continuous reap errors or crashing. I plan on doing some more testing running native today.
One thing I've noticed is that the voltages reported by 'hw tune' differ from previous releases.
Is there a reason why we aren't tracking bugs with googlecode?

ATI, graphics business unit of Advanced Micro Devices, said on Monday that it would demonstrate playback of stereoscopic 3D content on Blu-ray disc media at Consumer Electronics Show next month. The announcement not only means that AMD seems confident in stereo 3D Blu-ray specification, but will also support shutter glasses-based 3D, something that rival Nvidia Corp. has been supporting for about a year.
According to ATI, stereo 3D Blu-ray devices will hit the market in the second half of next year and that AMD, as a contributing member of Blu-ray disc association standard, is working closely with technology partners as the format specifications are finalized over the coming year in order to help ensure compatibility with upcoming AMD hardware.
"AMD has a long, proud tradition of delivering leading technologies to market – technologies that have a meaningful and positive impact on the PC experience. Stereoscopic 3D is set to be one of these technologies, and that's why AMD has committed the time and resources to ensure that when Blu-ray stereoscopic 3D is ready for the world, AMD will be ready to bring it to consumers," said Rick Bergman, senior vice president of AMD products group.
At the upcoming 2010 Consumer Electronics Show, AMD and CyberLink will jointly preview Blu-ray stereoscopic 3D entertainment for those in attendance. The new standard is one of many 3D technologies AMD openly supports, along with 3D DLP televisions, dual-panel and line interleaved 3D monitors, and is part of AMD's initiative to further develop the art of 3D entertainment, and its adoption in homes worldwide through close collaboration with 3D technology partners, including OEMs, software developers and content distributors.
It is widely believed that BDA's stereo 3D Blu-ray standard is based on shutter glasses technology that is not something exactly new. Many, including ATI, have criticized the method and said that numerous consumers suffer headaches because of it.
"With the addition of stereoscopic 3D support for the next generation of Blu-ray discs, we're ready to bring consumers an incredible new entertainment experience in the coming year. Our joint technology preview at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show will give everyone a taste of what's in store," said Alice H. Chang, chief executive officer of CyberLink.

Info for Returning Former Residents of Canada
Are you a returning former resident of Canada? If so, this post is to help with the customs process in bringing your stuff back to Canada.
Tariff 9804 provides an exemption for returning former residents of Canada to import goods duty and tax free up to a value of $10,000 CAD per item so long as they fall under certain criteria:
1. They are former residents that were absent at least 1 year or were resident of another country for at least 1 year.
2. They have owned, possessed and used the goods for at least 6 months. (the only exception for this rule is for former residents who have been away at least 5 years, goods should still be used though)
For any new goods your are entitled to the same exemptions as if you had been out of Canada for at least 7 days. $750 CAD worth of goods duty and tax free, with limitations on Alcohol and tobacco that I wont repeat as many people cover this topic…but for those of you that don't know here is a link to CBSA's website post on the subject.
*Please note to qualify for this exemption you do have to prove your former resident status in Canada with Canadian Passport or Permanent Resident Card or landing papers and you have to prove that you were out of the Country for over a year or were a resident of another country.
Some examples of acceptable proof is for residency abroad are a letter from your employer, employment contract, utility bills showing dates, lease/rental agreement, bank statements for the period etc.
Your passport or residence visa or driving licence in another country is not prima facia evidence of residency abroad as passports are not always stamped and some people have more than one, and visas and driver's licences can be issued and the person leave that country.
High value goods – Goods over $10,000 CAD will be charged duties applicable and taxes over the $10,000 threshold. I.e. if you bring back a $15,000 CAD vehicle from the US, you will have to pay on $5000 CAD. Jewellery and other high value items should be carefully documented with details, accompanying invoices/receipts if available, gemologist appraisal/certification, serial numbers and photos if possible. Declaring "1 gold watch" is not acceptable, rather 1 rolex submariner watch, 14k gold, serial #6875213, mens value $15000 CAD" is fine.
The first step a returning resident should complete Form B4 linked here in pdf format, if you run out of lines listing your goods you can continue on Form B4a linked here. If not completed in advance, this should then be completed at the time of declaration or arrival back in Canada. The important thing is that a list of goods returning be submitted to customs upon return to be validated (stamped). This indicates that you have delcared these goods. Once you have these lists stamped you can make the actual declaration later on if you wish when the goods actually arrive. Once your declaration has been fully processed, Customs will document this on Form B15 and give you a copy.
Very Important! Do not lose any documents or copies of paperwork Customs gives you! This is your proof that you declared and are entitled to the exemption. People that are not prepared to make this declaration upon arrival back in Canada should report to the nearest Customs office inland that offers commercial services to make their declaration.
Customs Brokers cannot do this for you as they are not allowed to clear personal effects. Some freight forwarding services will help you through the process and even accompany you to the Customs office – this service is usually included with the more reputable companies.
If you're bringing back any animals, plants or food items there may be additional requirements and you will need to check with CFIA Canadian Food Inspection Agency. i.e some dairy products are not admissible. Here is a link to CFIA's import polices and here is one for food.
Pet dogs and Cats other than the US will have to be inspected by a CFIA vet to certify health and there is a service charge associated. Make sure you have a record of your pets vaccinations. Here is a link to CFIA's website for importing pets.
FYI. There are other items that are inadmissble such at used mattresses due to health concerns.
If you have any further questions please feel free to post.

Your Trigger for Renting a Home Instead of Buying: 10.5% Interest Rates
BOSTON ( TheStreet) -- Benchmark mortgage rates have risen from a record-low 3.31% average last November to nearly 4% today, but a Trulia.com
"Higher mortgage rates do make buying more expensive, but rates are still incredibly low compared to historic norms," Trulia Chief Economist Jed Kolko says.
Trulia recently analyzed for-sale and for-rent listings on its site to estimate how much mortgage rates would have to rise before leasing a place for seven years becomes cheaper than buying a comparable one.
The study found that even though mortgage giant Freddie Mac reported recently that average 30-year fixed rates have hit 3.93%, buying a place is still 41% less expensive over a seven-year period than renting.
In fact, Trulia calculated that even if mortgage rates rise to 5% -- something few market watchers expect will happen for a year or more -- buying will still cost 34% less than leasing.
"The math in the most-expensive markets starts to tip in favor of renting once mortgage rates
Trulia tried to estimate all expenses associated with buying and leasing by looking at list prices and asking rents on a sample of properties from around the country advertised on its site between March 1 and May 31.
Costs that the study considered ranged from estimated mortgage bills to likely property taxes.
The site also included the projected positive effects of tax breaks and price appreciation that homebuyers typically enjoy. (Trulia assumed that consumers would buy places using 30-year fixed-rate mortgages and 20% down payments, and would itemize their income taxes and pay a 25% top marginal federal tax rate.)
Kolko says buying homes under those terms costs way less right now than renting does.
And while he says rising home prices and mortgage rates could eventually close the gap, interest charges alone seem unlikely to do so because average 30-year fixed-mortgage rates haven't topped 10.5% in nearly a quarter-century.
"To have 10.5% mortgage rates, you'd have to have people terrified of inflation or terrified that the U.S. government is not going to be able to pay its (bonds)," Kolko says.
Of course, home prices and rental rates vary from city to city -- so some markets could reach a balance between buying and leasing even if mortgage rates don't go through the roof.
For instance, Trulia estimates rates would only have to hit 5.2% before buying and renting cost the same over seven years in pricey San Jose, Calif.
Conversely, the site predicts higher rates alone won't create parity between buying and leasing in struggling Detroit unless interest levels hit 35.8% -- something unlikely to ever happen.

Jaime Hernandez: The 1928-S Lincoln cent is one of the few wheat cents struck at San Francisco from 1909 to 1929, which can still be found in high grades and with lots of Red Brown and mostly Red surfaces remaining. This is among one of the few remaining dates for the San Francisco struck cents from the teens and twenties which can still be located with a great strike, sharp details, tremendous eye appeal and with original clean surfaces. However, it is still considered one of the semi key dates in the entire series.
MS60 Brown: With Brown surfaces only, the 1928-S is the most difficult San Francisco cent struck from 1909-1928, to find in MS60 condition or higher. Approximately 10% of all surviving uncirculated examples display mostly Brown surfaces.
MS60 Red Brown: With MS60 Red Brown surfaces, it is about the third most difficult to find from 1909–1928 San Francisco struck cents. Approximately 45% of all surviving uncirculated examples display a combination of Red and Brown surfaces, with the majority of them displaying more of a Red color and a lesser amount of Brown color surfaces.
MS60 Red: In Red, it becomes much more obtainable and it ranks about 15th place from all San Francisco struck cents from 1909–1928. Approximately 45% of all surviving uncirculated examples display at least 90–100 % full Red surfaces.
MS65 Brown or Higher: In MS65 Brown, it is the scarcest of all 1909-1928 San Francisco struck Lincoln cents.
MS65 Red Brown or Higher: In MS65 Red Brown, it is also the scarcest from all 1909–1928 struck San Francisco cents.
MS65 Red or Higher: In MS65 Red or higher, it is one of the least difficult to obtain from all 1909–1928 San Francisco struck cents. It ranks at about in 15th position, as there are at least 50 or more examples in MS65 Red and as many as ten examples in MS66 Red with none higher.
In MS65 Red condition, it comes after the 1926S, 1924S, 1920S, 1925S, 1918S, 1927S, 1923S, 1921S, 1917S, 1916S, 1915S, 1914S, 1912S, 1913S and with the 1926S being the scarcest in MS65 grades or higher and with 90-100 % of Red surfaces remaining.
Varieties: There is somewhat of a significant variety for this year. Some collectors try to find the Large S variety which is very scarce and probably less than 50 uncirculated examples contain the Large S variety. The variety is fairly noticeable and fairly distinguishable compared to the small S variety. There is also a medium S variety which is more difficult to distinguish and not widely recognized.

Stocks Fizzle as BlackBerry Slashes Workforce
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Major U.S. stock markets finished Friday's trading session in the red Friday but were able to eke out a third week of gains after the S&P 500 was driven to fresh all-time highs in the middle of week on the Federal Reserve's surprise decision Wednesday to keep its current $85 billion a month bond-buying program in tact. Enthusiasm turned out to be short-lived as investors retreated to the sidelines on a host of uncertainties heading into the coming, data heavy week.
The S&P 500 finished down 0.72% to 1,709.91 for the day but closed 1.3% higher for the week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average settled behind by 1.19% to 15,451.09, finishing up 0.49% for the week. The Nasdaq edged down 0.39% to 3,774.73, concluding the week up 1.41%.
Initial enthusiasm about the Fed's accommodative stance fizzled by the end of the week as investors mulled the situation that drove the Fed to its latest policy decision in the first place: preoccupation about tightening financial conditions and the impact on the economy. Meanwhile the market's risk appetite took another hit after St. Louis Federal President James Bullard said Friday that the central bank could still taper its bond-buying program as early as October. Kansas City Fed President Esther George, who dissented on the Fed's vote Wednesday, later added that the central bank's decision to delay tapering was hurting its credibility. Uncertainties surrounding the budget negotiations in Washington and the Sunday German elections were also adding to the headline risk.

If you are looking to purchase a new mixer, you should not only check the wattage but also find out how much power the motor has.(maybe a hp rating) From what I've been told, the wattage is what the motor uses but it still doesn't mean that the motor is strong. This is only what I've been told, but I guess it does make sense.

About the Authors: Ed Dunn serves as Acting Director of Digital Communications in the Bureau of Public Affairs, Suzanne Hall serves as Senior Advisor for Innovation in the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, and Nick Namba serves as Acting Deputy Coordinator for Content Development and Partnerships in the Bureau of International Information Programs.
The three of us were thrilled to speak to a packed house at the New America Foundation today during their Social Media Week panel on 'Public Diplomacy in the Age of Social Media.' O'Reilly Media's Alex Howard moderated the panel and framed the discussion around how public diplomacy efforts have moved from the analog to the digital space in recent years. Public Affairs' Ed Dunn described the Department's efforts to engage both media and general publics through online platforms, including holding Twitter Q&As with the spokesperson. Education and Cultural Affairs' Suzanne Hall discussed tech-focused initiatives, including a mobile English learning pilot in Tunisia, virtual exchanges and the importance of online and mobile engagement of alumni. International Information Programs' (IIP) Nick Namba discussed the success IIP has had growing the Department's online social media communities to a global audience of more than 4 million, and announced the 20/100 Social Media Challenge, in which the bureau will work with 20 embassies to boost their online communities by 100 percent.
Questions from both the physical and online audience revealed a great deal of interest in these topics, especially on the importance of people to people connections -- using these online tools to move the conversation and action offline -- and the importance of listening and two way dialogue. The panel provided an important opportunity to present the challenges and opportunities our public diplomats face in using social media tools to engage with publics around the world.
Our panel today was one of hundreds of events worldwide this week. Social Media Week continues through Friday and brings half a million people together in 21 cities and in online forums to advance understanding of social media's role in society. The State Department is energizing the effort to make this global event a success and share how technology and new media advance our foreign policy agenda. Tune in tomorrow at 12:00 p.m. EST to hear Alec Ross, Senior Advisor for Innovation, give a keynote speech from Social Media Week New York, where he'll share his observations on how social media is shifting power structures around the world.
To join the conversation on Twitter, follow @socialmediaweek, @SMWWDC and @SMWNYC and use the hashtags #SMW12, #SMWDC and #SMWNYC.

About the Author: Tom Weinz is the dedicated Foreign Service Liaison Officer (FSLO) aboard the USNS Richard E. Byrd for Pacific Partnership 2009 (PP09).Pacific Partnership's second mission is to the Kingdom of Tonga, approximately 500 miles south of Samoa. USNS Byrd arrived in the early morning darkness of July 13 (Samoa is just east of the international dateline, and Tonga is just west of it. It is exactly the same time of day in Tonga as in Samoa — but one day later) and we awoke to grey skies and heavy rain. As with Samoa, our movement of equipment and materials to shore was hampered by weather.
Tonga is a country of 170 islands (about 40 of which are inhabited) with a population of just over 100,000 people. Our mission sites are all concentrated on islands in the Ha'apai group, roughly in the middle of Tongan territory and the least developed and accessible of Tonga's three island groups. Because the waters near Pangai, the largest city in the area, are too shallow for the Byrd, all movement to and from shore is by Australian landing craft, helicopter, and by Byrd's Rigid Hull Inflatable Boats, or RHIBs.
July 13 witnessed a flurry of activity, putting all medical and engineering equipment into place on shore. Thanks to significant advance work by Tongan Defence Services (TDS) personnel, who demolished parts of buildings and installed several new corrugated metal roofs prior to our arrival, PP09 engineers will be able to complete more projects during the mission. (Note the Brit/Aus spelling of "defence." Tonga's military is highly respected for their discipline and professionalism. Tongan Royal Marines served in Iraq with U.S. forces, and TDS soldiers serve currently with the Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands, or RAMSI.)
On July 14, with ENCAPS, MEDCAPS and DENCAPS fully under way, a group of us participated in the opening ceremonies at a local school. The Reverend Doctor Tevita Palefau, Minister of Education, Women's Affairs & Culture, noted in his opening address that, in spite of serious economic concerns in the United States, America still cares enough about others to carry out this mission. Since Tonga spends 28% of its annual budget on health and education, he said, Tongans are especially appreciative of the PP09 assistance. Local school children, some in classes conducted by American Peace Corps volunteers, took an active role in the opening ceremonies. As always, we are most grateful for a propitious beginning and a warm local reception.

Hey mike-
I noticed when I click reply and then log in, instead of taking me back to the page I was on, it takes me to the general index page.
I preferred being taken straight back to where I was to post -- is this a bug or a deliberate change?

Delay Obamacare
To The Reader's Forum:
Key Obamacare architect, Senator Max Baucus, says that it's an oncoming "a train wreck." Dr. Howard Dean, liberal presidential contender in 2004, now admits that IPAB in Obamacare is indeed a rationing panel. Still, there is time to delay its implementation. In fact, President Obama himself delayed the employer mandate on big business for one year, after he said that everybody has to play by the same rules. With a wink and a nod from the President, Congress, like big business, recently received a special waiver. That leaves the rest of us left to play by the rules. Since President Obama said that everybody has to play by the same rules, wouldn't it make sense to at least delay Obamacare for everybody and not just for some?
Obamacare has taxpayer subsidies for people who qualify. However, the oversight and rules for acquiring the subsidies are inadequately prepared for next year's due date. So, the president has arbitrarily decided that "the honor system" will suffice. His "we'll-just take-their-word-for-it" policy makes taxpayer subsidies easy pickings for defrauding billions out of the system. If welfare fraud isn't bad enough, we haven't seen anything yet with Obamacare woefully unprepared. Wouldn't it make sense to at least delay its implementation since vitally important checks against fraud aren't even in place yet?
In July, I received a letter from my insurance company saying that my policy will be terminated due to Obamacare. I must go to the state exchange to purchase a policy, but President Obama said that if we liked our current health care we could keep it. I like my policy and my doctor. I want to keep them both. Now, I can't. If President Obama wants to keep his word, wouldn't it make sense for him to at least delay its implementation?
As part of the upcoming continuing resolution to fund the government, let's have Congress and the President agree to delay funding of Obamacare while funding the rest of government. That way, government runs as it always has without Obamacare and the looming train wreck of Obamacare along with the government rationing panel and the wide-scale potential for massive fraud in Obamacare can be wisely avoided. Besides, since everyone isn't playing by the same rules and many of us won't be able to keep our health-care policy, delaying Obamacare would extend the opportunity for the President to make good on his word.

Legion Gold drops 2 in first day, is eliminated from state
RICHFIELD – Errors were the costly theme of the day as New Ulm Gold committed 10 in its two games combined, falling to the Rochester Patriots 9-2 in the first before losing to Excelsior 5-4 in 10 innings in the second.
The second loss ended New Ulm's season at 25-9.
Nick Dewanz took the loss in the second game. He pitched 3 1/3 innings and gave up a run and two hits. That run came in the bottom of the 10th. There, Axel Twenge reached on a throwing error by Jacob Gieseke and took second. Twenge eventually scored on a single by Ian Cote.
Bjorn Hanson earned the win, giving up a run and striking out one in two innings. Hanson took the mound in the eighth inning with a 4-3 lead but he was unable to earn the save. He gave up they tying run in the top of the ninth when Chase Meyer scored.
Gold earned the upper hand early, scoring three times off Excelsior starter Joseph Martinson in the top of the third. Tim Kehren and Tanner Kluis each had an RBI single in the inning and Gieseke scored on a wild pitch.
But Martinson settled down and Excelsior tied the game in the bottom of the fourth off New Ulm starter Kluis. After Jared Ridge drove in a run with a single, Hanson delivered the big blast of the inning with a two-run home run over the fence in left field.
Excelsior took a 4-3 lead in the fifth and Martinson cruised along before Hanson came in and surrendered the tying run.
In the first game, it was a matter of sloppy fielding and not getting key hits with runners in scoring position that doomed Gold. Rochester took advantage of four Gold errors in the 9-2 win that sent New Ulm to the elimination bracket.
Chase Meyer took the loss for New Ulm. He gave up five runs in 5 1/3 innings. He allowed nine hits and walked one while striking out one.
Zach Schwieters earned the win for Rochester. He gave up two runs in seven innings.
New Ulm's defense struggled behind Meyer. But the offense also failed to take advantage of some early situations. New Ulm had the bases loaded in the bottom of the second inning, but Gold failed to score.
Gold stranded nine runners in the game.
"It's certainly not the New Ulm team I've coached all summer long," said New Ulm coach Bob Weier. "We just were not sharp today. We made some physical errors, we made some mental errors, and we had some opportunities to score some runs early in the game. We couldn't put the ball in play, we couldn't get the bunt down.
"Nothing seemed to work for us, and you don't come up here to the state tournament and play teams from all over the state and play that way and expect to win. It's not going to happen."
Rochester scored a single run in the top of the second and it looked like Gold was going to respond in the bottom half of the inning. But after loading the bases, Dewanz struck out, then Nate Palmer was called out after he bunted and ran into the ball. Jordan Guggisberg then popped out to end the inning.
Rochester took advantage and added another run in the third. The Patriots added two more runs in the fifth inning and another in the sixth to go ahead 5-0.
Jory Dove came in to relieve Meyer, and after pitching effectively the first two innings, he struggled in the eighth and gave up three runs with the big hit coming off of Alex Brady's double. Brady later scored on a wild pitch to put Rochester ahead 8-0.
New Ulm did score two runs in the seventh to finally get on the board. Gold loaded the bases and scored when Brach Kraus was hit by a pitch. With one out, Grant Kannegiesser hit a soft liner to the second baseman. The ball was dropped and Rochester was able to turn a double play, but not before New Ulm scored another run on the play to make it 8-2.
Rochester added another run in the ninth before Gold went down in order in the bottom of the ninth to end the game. Meyer ended the game with two of New Ulm's four hits. Wyatt Peterson and Dove both scored a run and Kehren and Drew Pfaff each added a hit.
