Specialty Programs
Barry's Specialty Programs for:
Summer Camps, Church camps, after school programming, Scouts, outdoor education, 4-H, church youth, and more!
Hose Play: Creating many different toys from waste nylon stockings. Fluffy balls, Hose balls, peanut-balls, flying disks, jump ropes, geo-balls, goggles, costumes, dolls, comets, (the list is endless) are a few of the items that can be created from nylon hose. You will get a hands-on opportunity to make a fluffy ball to take home. You will get to see a demonstration of how to make many of the different items. You will get information on where to purchase the nylon stockings. Once items are created several activities that incorporate the Hose Craft items will be played/demonstrated. *This is an inexpensive "recycling" craft that creates useful inexpensive items/toys that can be used in teambuilding activities, games and other play.
Using your NOODLE: Pool noodles are fun to use even when you are not in a pool. This session will incorporate many games AND problem-solving activities using pool noodles. There are two books full if active and passive games, 50 Ways to use your Noodle and 50 MORE Ways to Use your Noodle. You will/may use: Maxironi Rex, Maxironies, Midaronies, Minironies, and Meatballs in the activities. Activities can incorporate from one to over one hundred people depending on space and number of available noodles.
Flying Things: This is a collection of items that fly: boomerangs (made of cardboard, paint sticks and tongue depressors), comets (balls with tails), Frisbees, bottle rockets, paper rockets, French hoops and FUNderbirds. You may see any number of these items in this program. This should be an outdoors program. Much depends of the weather and size of the room if it is indoors. Often this is a make-it and take-it program. *This program teaches motor skills needed for throwing and catching objects and also for building boomerangs and rockets.
Frisbee Golf: A portable disk golf course will be set up on location (outdoors). It can be designed (difficulty) for any age group. *This activity: teaches score keeping (math), teamwork (staying in groups of four and encouraging teammates), and gives you exercise (chasing the Frisbee and picking it up over and over.)
Noodle Rockets: This is a session where everyone gets to make their own rocket. The rockets are made from a 15" piece of a Pool Noodle, large rubber band and three fins.

If a tooth is damaged or of poor quality, a new ceramic crown is probably the best solution. Installation is fast. The end result is fantastic.
The all-ceramic Procera crown has many advantages over traditional crowns. Besides its high esthetic qualities, the function and longevity of the crown is excellent as well.
Benefits of a new Procera crown:
In the best case, the new crown is installed in two dentist visits in two week's time. The inconvenience and after-effects will be minimal.
>> View Treatment Procedure
The course of treatment described here is one of several options available. Consult your dentist to find out what the best solution is for you, given your specific condition.

Busy. That's probably the word that best describes this last year for me. Two additional large-scale events at my home church, an extended missions trip to Asia, a variety of speaking engagements and gigs, and caring for my best friend who underwent brain surgery at the beginning of the year—there were definitely a few things this year that kept me up at night.
Here's my annual "By The Numbers" blog, where I take a look at highlights of this last year. As always, I am humbled by both God's grace-filled hand in my life, and the unwavering support of so many dear friends and family. Here's a summary of 2014, By The Numbers…
By far, the most popular post of the year was titled, "The Issue of Age in Modern Worship," which along with the follow-up post, "Age in Modern Worship: Further Reflections," garnered almost 150,000 hits in 2014. Not only did it go viral, it led to a number of radio interviews around the country where I was able to dialogue with others about this issue. Unfortunately, the alarming number of people who visited my web page and shared their frustrations and sadness underlines the fact that this troubling matter is alive and well in the modern church. I suspect that this issue will only get worse as time goes on.
Theology, philosophy, the breadth of artistic expression, and the heart of the artist. I am grateful to the hundreds of you who are new subscribers to this blog over the past year, as well as the many more who have been faithful readers. It's been the biggest year for my blog site yet, and I don't take that for granted. In the big picture, I know I'm just one voice in the conversation. I thank you for the privilege and responsibility of allowing me to dialogue with you.
That's a lot of playing. 2014 represents the busiest year I've ever performed (remember, this is in addition to my many church services), mostly solo piano bar but also some memorable concerts and other performances. Next year also promises to be a busy one as well, so I encourage you to check out my GIGS page if you'd like to see me perform live.
I also had the good fortune to produce an uncommonly gifted artist and good friend, Michaela Nasello, who debuted her first album to the world at the beginning of the year. If you're looking for some fresh, original music in the vein of Nora Jones, Sara Bareilles, and Zooey Deschanel, order Michaela's album, Hello, Unexpected, on iTunes or on this cdbaby.com link.
Number of Speaking Engagements: 7
Sometimes, I find myself standing in front of a group of artists of faith, and I feel like my heart is about to explode. I find myself so very passionate about the state of the arts right now—clearly it is an exciting time to be an artist of faith. Memorable moments included speaking at The Creative Church Conference, Intersections: Faith and the Arts Conference, The Write to Inspire Conference, several churches, and other events.
In addition, I participated in an extended missions trip to Legazpi City, Philippines, in partnership with the Bicol Center for Christian Leadership. Tucked beneath the gaze of the Mayon volcano, I taught, preached, performed, and led worship with some amazing people. I am extremely grateful to all my supporters for helping me back for this second trip to Legazpi, which proved to be extremely productive and inspired. I hope to visit them again in 2016. Bang it here if you'd like to read up on my trip reports from this last year.
Number of Worship Services: 96.
One of the highlights of my ministry year was the 30 Year Anniversary Bash that my church celebrated. I've been with the precious and extraordinary people of Oak Hills Church for 27 of the 30 years, so there was some significant celebrating going on, including a program, formal dinner, brunch, carnival, and eighties-themed dance. And I got to get goofy and play my keytar (see top photo above!).
I did a rough estimate of the number of services I've probably led in the past 23 years of full-time ministry and I came up with over 4,200. That's a lot of time leading God's people in worship. Which is to say, I have the best job in the world.
2015 and Beyond…
2015 is still shaping up, but there are already a few things on the books. I'll be speaking at various upcoming arts and worship conferences, including the Intersections Conference at William Jessup University. I've been asked to lead worship at the North American Baptist Conference Triennial Conference (my home denomination) this summer. I have some super-secret projects in the works too, that I'm busting out in excitement over. And personally, I am looking forward to watching my son and daughter-in-law graduate from USC next June. Oh yeah, and there's that second book I keep wanting to release…
Stay tuned for more in 2015!

Fire Protection Association of Australia
The Fire Protection Association of Australia seeks to ensure the highest level of fire safety for the Australian community. The goal of this project was to provide recommendations to broaden and strengthen the membership and networking of FPA Australia. To accomplish this, we created a visual web representing the fields of the fire protection community and the networks that exists between them. We then identified specific fields that are not adequately represented and provided strategies for increasing membership and networking in two of these fields.

When writing a blog, being experienced and educated in the field of interest is very important. Being able to transfer that knowledge into words is even more important. There are thousands of blogs out there whose expertise is probably worse than yours but being able to write a good blog post makes them more attractive to readers.
Word crafting is not everyone's talent. No matter how much you learn about it, you might never be able to write perfect blog posts. Still, the combination of expertise and decent writing can make good blog posts. In this article, we're going to talk about some of the options you have in creating perfect articles for your blog.
Ask for professional help
If you think that's cheating, stop right now. You'll be amazed by how many blogs use professional writers to do their work. If you're running a blog and work at the same time, you know how hard is to find enough time to write about the things you love.
That's why people ask for professionals to their "dirty work". The perfect combination is to tell them what you need, share your expertise in the niche you're dealing with, and let them create the word magic. If you want to find out how professional do their job, take a look at qualityguestposts and see how it's done.
Learn the basics of writing articles
Writing articles is basically a craftsmen job. You need to prepare, analyze, and work. Here's a short list of things that is essential for writing a good-looking article:
Make a draft
Before you start doing anything, you need to analyze what you're about to do and make a draft version of the article. This will help you build the article later much easier. Look at this as a foundation of a house. You can't make a house without first making the base.
Write the basics about every subheading
Before you start working seriously, make a quick version of the most important things you're about to write about. Here, you can also do a fine research and look for links that will back your claims. You can be highly experienced for the topic you're writing about, but if you want to be taken seriously, you need to offer some proof for your thoughts.
Write the content
Now it's time to take your thoughts into text form. This is something that you can't learn. Either you're talented, or you aren't. Of course, spending a lot of time reading and having a reach vocabulary will help a lot, but writing for an audience is something special. You must find the best way to reach out and make people enjoy reading your article.
Edit and finish
After you're all done, you need to read from the beginning and edit what you wrote. It's never wise to edit as you write. Your mind expresses itself best when it's not interrupted, so do the editing after you finished writing. When the editing is done, finalize by adding the links and preferably a picture or two, depending on the length of the article.
Connect with other blogs
When your article is out there, you need to make sure people saw it. No one will know you wrote anything unless you have a large base of followers. Your blog needs an audience. Reaching for the audience is a completely different field of expertise and is also something you'll probably need professionals for. If you decide to do this on your own, you need to get connected with other bloggers.
Guest posting to other people's blogs will get you followers, visitors, backlinks, and will generally make your blog visible. After some time working on your strategy and writing seriously quality content, you'll make a name for yourself and become popular in the blogosphere. Search this list of blogs that accept guest posting here.
Some final words
If you're struggling with writing a good article, the best possible advice you can get is – forget the rules, just make a good article. If you simply can't make one, ask for professional help. If you think you can write by yourself, forget about the principles. Some people can't follow rules. They don't like making drafts, edit afterward, etc. Do as you feel it's best. This is the only way to get a seriously good blog article.

All property owners, residential and commercial, have the duty to ensure safe environments for all visitors. If you have been harmed by a hazardous condition on another's sidewalk, personal residence, restaurant, mall, hotel, office building school, park, theater, museum or other property, you may be eligible to file a premises liability claim and receive compensation for your injury.
"Slip and Fall" injuries are a major cause of premises liability and commonly occur from uneven or slippery surfaces but can also be the result of:
Although premises liability law seeks to protect parties who are injured as the result of the property owner's negligence, it is often difficult to prove liability especially if the owner has corrected the hazardous condition. To ensure that the proper grounds for your claim are met, you should contact our knowledgeable personal injury attorneys who have the resources and experience necessary to help you collect compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and even emotional trauma.
Our personal injury law firm can assess your injury and assist you in determining whether the property owner failed to maintain his or her property or properly warn of hazardous conditions. For your claim to be successful, it must be shown that the property owner knew about the hazardous situation and failed to correct it in a timely manner, and that the action or inaction of the property owner caused the condition which led to your injury.
Once liability has been established, we will work with you in proving a direct causal relationship between the hazard on the property and the injury that you suffered. A myriad of other factors including visitor status must also be considered when filing a premises liability claim. Visitor status explains your reason for the visit to the property. If you are an invited guest your claim may hold more weight in court, whereas a trespasser may not be able to receive any compensation for his injuries.
Our compassionate injury attorneys consider all of these factors and will represent you aggressively so you can take care of what is most important—recovering from your injury and regaining your health.

Very Good 8.0 From 131 reviews
Small clean boutique hotel that is centrally located. Staff is attentive and helpful. For the price and very good deal.
Hôtel Atlantis Saint-Germain-des-Prés was exactly what we were hoping it would be. The location is wonderful and within walking distance of all the major sights in Paris. The hotel was impecably clean and felt bright and airy. During the day we opened the windows and enjoyed the hustle and bustle of the city below. In the evening with the windows shut there was almost no street noise. We speak very little French and the staff were very helpful and spoke enough English to help when needed.
Wasn't able to sleep in after a long day of being out and about, the bells were very loud.

Having a successful career at an international company, my world collapsed in my mid-thirtees, when I was struck by a hormonal cancer that had exhausted my body the years before. Being thankful for the doctors that saved my life at that time through surgery, I tried to take-up my "old life" again, and became conscious that I was continuously fighting myself through negative thoughts, emotions and self-destructive behaviors.
And so this at first sight terrible disease became one of the biggest gifts in my life, because it started a journey towards my inner-self.
I followed courses "mindfulness", "the symbolic meaning of events in your life", "relationships", esoterism (which is actually very down to earth…), a 1-year course in meditation and bodywork at the "Centrum of Zijnsorientatie", a 1-year training in family constellations with Indra Torsten Preiss, several energy courses at Samtati (Hilde Van Bulck), and several years of training in Transfigura or Regeneration therapy with Stanny Lansloot and Adriaan Van Zelst, an energetic healing technique that regenerates your body in all its aspects.
At my regular work I am already for several years a mindfulness trainer and teach people the simple art of coaching. My passion is supporting people on their life-path, through learning them how to deal in a different and constructive way with their body, thoughts and emotions and by creating awareness and broadening their consciousness. I like to look with you what is beneath the surface so that you can make structural changes in your life that will give you more freedom and joy in your daily experience of life. I believe that life is the greatest teacher : all you encounter in your life is right for you and a continuous impulse to remember who your really are: a shining spark of light that wants to spread the light around. If we all start shining like this we can really create a "Heaven on Earth", this is not utopian at all!
The biggest gift for me is when I see people finding back the way to their heart, start living their dream, and fully participate in life in all of its aspects.
At this point in time I follow a 3-years training in aura healing and reading with Ronald Vandepeppel and a 1-year personal training with Michael Barnett, a fantastic spiritual and energy teacher. Where time allows I still try to deepen my understanding of the constellations work.

Have to admit I am guessing on the name, it seems to have slipped my mind, but point is:
Cassie (my Aussi friend) and I are running a group for women around the world. In the Reykjanesbær bókasafn.
Because Reykjanesbær, Inni Njarvík, Ytri Narvík, Keflavík and Ásbrú, are actually-is actually rather multi-cultural but you would never know because all the women, including myself for many years, sit home alone.
You see it can be hard to get to know people. It is very difficult to learn Icelandic and adjusting to a different culture can be tiring. So it is good to meet others in the same position. Maybe speak the same language as you. It is good to have a place to go to ask questions and not be judged.

This 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am was sold new in Kutztown, Pennsylvania and was recently acquired by the selling dealer from its second owner of 26 years. Power is sent to the rear wheels from a 6.6-liter W72 V8 through a 4-speed manual transmission and positraction rear end, and factory options include the WS6 performance package, Hurst T-tops, and Firebird hood decal. Records show muffler and tire replacements by the previous owner, and the car was recently serviced by the selling dealer with an oil change and safety check. This T/A shows 62k indicated miles and is offered with its original build sheet, window sticker, owner's manuals, and a clear Pennsylvania title.
The body is finished in Solar Gold paint that is shown from various angles in the gallery and video below. The WS6 package incorporated a larger-diameter sway bar, tighter steering box gear ratio, and 15″ Snowflake wheels.

North West Frontier Province 203 and 146 for 3 (Younis 68*) lead Sind 149 (Shakeel-ur-Rehman 6-28) by 200 runs
Career-best figures from medium-pacer Shakeel-ur-Rehman helped North West Frontier Province dismiss Sind for 149 and an unbeaten 68 from captain Younis Khan took the lead to 200 by stumps on day two in Karachi. Sind had resumed on 60 for 1 but Shakeel dealt quick blows to secure his side a 54-run lead.
His first victim was opener Khalid Latif, caught behind for 17 from 75 balls to make it 79 for 2. Faisal Iqbal, the Pakistan international, was out for 1 and the dangerous Shahid Afridi was removed for an 18-ball 17. Naumanullah was then bowled for 47, the best contribution of the innings, and two swift strikes cut through the tail. Pind had proceeded to lose nine wickets for 89 runs.
Rafatullah Mohmand and Yasir Hameed got NWFP's second innings off to a solid start, adding 41, but a double-strike from Anwar Ali threatened to bring Sind back. Hameed hit 26 from 30 balls before he was trapped leg before by Anwar, a former Under-19 star. Riaz Kail suffered a similar fate for 4 as NWFP slipped to 51 for 2. That became 71 for 3 when Mohmand fell to Uzair-ul-Haq's medium-pace, but Younis proved difficult to dislodge.
Coming off two fifties against Zimbabwe and a one-match breather in the clean sweep, Younis rattled his way to an unbeaten 68 off 95 balls, with 13 boundaries, by the close of play. Offering solid support at the other end was Wajahatullah Wasti, the former Pakistan opener, with a sedate 14 from 81 balls. NWFP's tail wagged in the first innings and further such contributions could be enough to seal Sind's fate as this match progresses.
Punjab 219 for 1 (Butt 135*, Hafeez 77) trail Federal Areas 383 (Saaed 69, Ashraf 58, Rehman 4-86, Riaz 4-112) by 164 runs
Salman Butt's unbeaten 143-ball 135, in an opening stand of 191 with Mohammad Hafeez, gave Punjab a superb start to their first innings on day two in Lahore. Butt shrugged off an ordinary series against Zimbabwe by taking the Federal Areas attack to task - Punjab scored 219 for 1 at 4.56 runs an over - after Abdur Rehman and Wahab Riaz combined to reduce the opposition from an overnight 301 for 4 to an eventual 383.
Butt struck 24 fours and a six , or 75% of his score, to launch a stirring reply. With Hafeez, another opener with international experience, he defied a line-up that included Shoaib Akhtar, Sohail Tanvir and Yasir Arafat. Hafeez was a bit more relaxed in his approach, scoring 77 from 113 balls, but with his partner going all-out it suited the situation expertly. Butt ticked along at a strike rate of 94.40, doing plenty to keep this match from meandering to a draw. Punjab still trail by 164 but with the likes of Misbah-ul-Haq, Mohammad Yousuf and Kamran Akmal to follow Federal Areas may be in for a tough third day in the field.
Earlier, Rehman, who has played two Tests and 11 ODIs, snared 4 for 86 with his left-arm spin to support opening bowler Riaz. Usman Saeed and Naved Ashraf were cut short after crossing fifty and there was little action from Federal Areas' lower order. Riaz, who had handed a maiden ODI cap against Zimbabwe last month, took 4 for 112 to help Punjab maintain damage control. Then it was over to Butt.

Pinkoi, a Taiwanese e-commerce platform for trading goods with original designs, has created a joint venture with Cherubic Ventures, a technology-focused venture capital firm, which will foster Asia's creative industries and help local designers reach global markets.
The Taipei-based e-commerce platform announced in mid-April that Taiwanese printed fabric designer InBlooom would be the first company to receive investment. Pinkoi executives would not disclose the amount.
Overall, the new joint venture will be investing in more than ten brands within two years, said Peter Yen, the co-founder of Pinkoi, which has 2.7 million online members who buy items such as unique gifts, clothing and furniture on the platform.
"I have seen many talented designers, but they don't know how to reach global markets," Yen said, noting that usually only 1% of brands end up retaining a long-term presence overseas.
"Therefore, Pinkoi has formed a team to help designers with issues such as how to take attractive photos of their products or how to communicate with customers," Yen said.
Cherubic Ventures, which was founded in 2013 and is based in Silicon Valley and Greater China, is focused on early-stage technology. The company has acted as an angel investor for many Taiwanese startups.
"We are happy to do this joint venture together to better the creative industry ecosystem across Asia, said Tina Cheng from Cherubic Ventures at the press conference.
"I am also a big fan of Pinkoi since, as a buyer, I can discover different original design products overseas, such as in Thailand, Malaysia and Japan, on the platform.
"Meanwhile, Taiwanese designers' brands can also be purchased through Pinkoi, allowing them to gain more global visibility. " Tina Cheng from Cherubic Venture, said.
Since its inception in 2011, Pinkoi has expanded to have a presence in 93 countries, selling more than 13,000 foreign-branded goods.
To strengthen its foothold in global markets, Pinkoi in 2016 acquired Japanese designer ecommerce platform iichi, giving the Taiwanese company access to the Japanese companies' pool of designers.

By Irina Sfranciog and Rachael Segal
In Canada, resident sellers of a principal residence are usually eligible for an exemption from the capital gains tax that would otherwise be triggered by the sale of a principal residence. Non-resident sellers must pay a capital gains tax of 25 per cent on the profits from the sale of a residential property.
In Mao v Liu (2017 BCSC 226), the court was asked to determine whether a notary public was negligent and therefore obligated to pay the capital gains tax triggered by the sale of a residential property. The negligent act in question was the notary public's failure to confirm whether the seller was a Canadian resident.
The facts underlying the Mao v. Liu action were relatively straightforward. In the period following the execution of the Agreement of Purchase and Sale for a residential property, the lawyer for the seller was asked for but refused to sign a statutory declaration regarding the residency of the seller. Upon closing, with no clearance certificate and no holdback in the Agreement of Purchase and Sale, the Canadian Revenue Agency required that the buyer pay the capital gains tax owing in the amount of $695,000. The buyer then sued the notary public seeking damages associated with this payment.
This case turned upon the question of whether the notary public had a duty to make further inquiries to determine the residency of the seller and whether that duty was breached.
In the decision, Justice Affleck stated: "In my view the defendants agreed to make the 'reasonable inquiry'… but failed to do so, and failed to advise the plaintiffs of their potential tax liability." Ultimately Justice Affleck found the notary public liable to the buyers for the full amount of the capital gains tax triggered by the sale of the property.
The law is clear that buyers are required to be diligent and make reasonable inquiries to ascertain the tax residency status of sellers. If the buyer fails to make reasonable inquiries, the buyer and his or her agent can be assessed for the entirety of the capital gains tax.
Conducting fulsome due diligence at the outset of a real estate transaction cannot be disregarded, as the penalties for failing to do so can be significant. It is now possible that a court could find that notaries' public and real estate duties go beyond general inquiries and must determine whether there are any potential liabilities for their clients. This duty puts the onus on both buyers and their agents and representatives to ensure specific inquiries are made that previous to this decision, would have been expected only from a lawyer.
Determining the residency status of the seller should be completed well before the closing date and should go beyond a simple conversation. It would be prudent for buyers and their agents to request that evidence of the seller's residency status be a condition of the purchase. Alternatively, agents should also consider a clause in their retainer agreement releasing the agent of all liability associated with any unpaid taxes after "reasonable inquiries" have been made. The problem with this is that the purchaser, the party in the transaction who should be held at the lowest possible standard when it comes to assessing risk, would still remain liable to CRA for the unpaid taxes. While buyers are able to withhold a portion of the purchase price in situations where the seller is known to be a non-resident, an avenue to withhold part of the purchase price when the seller's residency is unknown should be adopted as well.
Whether you are an agent or a buyer, the bottom line in buying real estate in Canada is to take extra precautions when purchasing from a non-resident. Be certain to ascertain the legal residency status of sellers prior to the closing date.
In Alberta our standard residential purchase contract has a clause ( 6.1b ) which states that the seller 'warrants' that "the seller is not a non-resident for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada)".
Is this not sufficient?
I'm not a lawyer, and surely a lawyer wrote your locally used forms, but:
I would underline it on your form; circle it, or highlight that clause using a yellow marker, and have everyone involved initial the margin area. Just a point of reference that all involved have committed the truth to the contract, and obviously could never say this subject was not drawn to their attention. Just my thoughts.
Each transaction stands on its own legs, and rules and regs for complying vary jurisdiction to jurisdiction. But over all, it's a federal issue in the end.
The seller may have committed his full extracted equity thinking to apply it to his simultaneous purchase, only to discover a holdback has tripped up his concurrent transaction (affecting other people tied to grouped tied together transactions; the domino effect ).
As much as we are fiduciary-duty bound to protect our clients, common sense says we must also protect ourselves and our brokerage ownership from any residual throwback.
By doing such, and presuming you send a copy of the transaction to all involved once the APS is consummated initially, this will also alert the closing lawyer, and present support for the documents he is responsible for preparing.
An ounce of prevention is always worth more than a pound of cure, as the old expression says.
Carolyne L 🍁
The highlighted area needs to be initialed by the first persons to sign any given contract. The others initialling the highlighted information are merely stating that they concur completely.
And it opens the door for discussion that any agent should have skills to support. If the secondary persons signing the contract are requested to highlight the issue, first, drawn to their attention by their agent – remember that any change including initialled changes, following first set of signatures, negates the whole initial contract as it stands prior to accepted changes.
The smallest change to any contract negates its authenticity. And you have to start all over again, opening the opportunity for the submitting changes persons to pack up and walk away in the interim.
Often this non-resident status topic is overlooked by less than skilled agents, not realizing the potential quagmire that could suck up the contract like it had entered quicksand.
Why make extra and or dangerous opportunities steal your transaction right out from under you from the get go? It's such an easy fix right at the beginning.
If the participants are unsure how to relate to the non-resident status, based on their or their spouse-status, by all means no one should sign anything until consulting their own lawyer first.
Remember "you" could be liable to pay the non-resident status tax if you don't get that topic completely out in the open initially. And, of course keep a paper trail in case you are called upon to pay.
Often the line of least resistance is to try to force you to give up your commission. Regardless of whose responsibility you think it is, ultimately, it's yours! To have proof you tried to initiate the conversation at the very least.
By closing time the seller has possibly left the country. Chasing him down is a big undertaking so guess who gets to pay. YOU! can be liable.
Depending on the complications involved, many lawyers don't even have a good grip on the topic, but it's best always to have them take on the government required responsibly to address and keep a proper trail. It's not always easy and can prevent, or hold up, a tidy closing.
Carolyne L 🍁
I have been successful in avoiding the non-resident tax issue as well as GST owing on commercial property sales by getting an opinion from CRA prior to listing. This does not always guarantee a problem free transaction when the CRA is involved because an opinion is just that. We have had to go as far as getting a judgement in one case, that solidified the situation for all parties. this does take time and in the case of a hot residential market may not be feasible. The situation of non-resident status begs for some type of leadership from government, but don't hold your breath waiting for that any time soon. The safest action in some cases is no action. If you can't get answers that are concrete, walk away. No commission is worth risking you license for, or worse your reputation . If for some reason you are found liable, the law always seem to reach for the low hanging fruit, ie the realtors commission, there may be less then any commission coming your way.
Jim, as you can see, I wrote extensively at this REM topic a full year ago. One can guess by the lack of conversation on the forum that either REM readers have no interest or knowledge of the subject, or hope they never happenstance come across the debacle. Even if the topic is way over the heads of many REALTORS(r), one might think there would be some interest in learning more by discussion. Apparently not.
Carolyne L 🍁
But what if the seller says they are a resident and everything looks like they are: property tax bill, power bills, they have a local phone number. And then (later) it turns out they are not? What are we to do? I have no access to their immigration files. Who does?
That is a great question. Menno.
As usual there's no simplistic easy answer to discovering a likely end result — for the REALTOR(r). What exactly is the contagion?
A good analogy might be the warning on board an aircraft that issues instructions to give yourself oxygen first, enabling you then to be able to help others, related or otherwise.
I have never had to pull a LRO report with the express purpose of trying to determine non-residence status. I don't even know if such status is even recorded at LRO at time of purchase registration filing for the (who has become the seller) buyer's side. Lawyers are required to ask the question, and clients must sign appropriate paperwork. What does the lawyer do with that physical paperwork? And in fact, does the disclosure really matter to the listing and buying real estate agency….
Is it sufficient that the lawyer does his work? The seller knows clearly that he either is or is not a non-resident.
The topic begs other questions such as the relationship of residency to a matrimonial home: a single person buys a home; he or she is not a non-resident. A marriage takes place and the partner is a non-resident and becomes a name subsequently registered on title, not necessarily automatically but via specific matrimonial intent. A couple of years pass. They decide to sell the property and move out of the country, returning to the place of origin of the non-resident spouse. How is full disclosure arrived at if no one addresses the topic? Is the equity at time of sales apportioned? What if no cash input came from the non-resident?
Aside from the lawyer doing his paperwork properly, who is going to protect the new buyer's position, and that of the buyer agent, if the seller leaves the country not having disclosed?
The case study referenced in the current REM article, without reading the case law, doesn't tell us completely; but this link explains in some detail:http://www.step.org/news/canadian-notary-must-reimburse-buyer-stuck-non-resident-sellers-cgt-bill
It seems that the notary who was closing that transaction failed to produce adequate status documentation. Where did the agent fit into the equation? Could the real agent have interceded? (Perhaps there wasn't a REALTOR(r) involved in this particular transaction.)
In a typical real estate transaction: Should the agent have interceded? Did the listing agent in the transaction just get lucky? The buyer agent? And likewise the buyer? Not having been thwarted with a possibility of having to pay, instead of the referenced notary?
Which brings us to the question: is it ever the agent's responsibility to ask the question: what is your residency status? Or just wing it, and leave it to the lawyers at closing to tidy up that area of paperwork? (Want to get paid?) Maybe my buyer and I, as well as the listing agents, got lucky, not having to pay the seller's non-resident portion.
There's a possibility in my intervention described earlier, since everyone got so angry, that maybe the seller's lawyer had no intention of providing the necessary documentation, or simply failed to ask his seller, that presumably is meant to be shared with the buyer's law office. Or was it just fortunate that my buyer's lawyer double checked?
But I just confirmed with a Brampton real estate lawyer, what currently goes on re non-resident status "recording," at LRO, if at all, in fact. These are his words: " …… [InOntario] "The deed will now show if the buyer is a non-resident. There is a copy of the deed at the LRO but has to be pulled at the RO. The non-residency is for deeds registered after April 21, 2017." (Interesting: Current information as at May 2017)
I had asked: Does land registry even record non-resident status information when applicable (as at when the now would-be seller was the buyer? It didn't matter when he was buying, but I wanted to know if status is recorded anyplace by the acting closing lawyers?) The topic genre historically it seems: only becomes important when he sells.
QUESTION: does the topic matter if the non-resident is not leaving the country but is just buying another local property (as a non-resident)? Does his equity (original or increased) still become taxable if he stays inCanada, or only when he sells? Or only becomes a paramount topic if and when he leaves the country? And once again, how important or relevant is the topic to the agents involved in the process of title changing hands for a particular property?
The case noted in the current REM article is atypical, but is concurrent with relocation transactions, with estate sales, and some matrimonial situations, and as stated, a forced sale, wherein no agency contracts are with "the real sellers or buyers" directly. Mostly there are no representations made of any sort, no guarantees, no warranties, and might be said to be of that nebulous term: processed "as is." Sounds like maybe that explains what happened in the case referenced herein. An anomaly. But should serve as a warning to entities processing in this manner, that regardless of the agency status, this topic is worth going the extra mile to protect everyone concerned. Look at the date, and the time it took to process, legal fees, nerves, and frustrations galore, not to even speak of the countless unpaid hours of all involved in sorting out to get to the end result.
Firstly, as I noted, perhaps the question needs to be vetted at the time of taking a listing, to avoid subsequent issues. There are those who will say it only matters in regard to a listing, but as you can see in my prior discourse, it matters to the buyer for whom the issue is vital, in that the buyer could find himself having to pay the seller's non-resident tax (which appears to have been the original situation in the case law noted). WHOOPS! Did anyone tell their buyer that? The BBA fiduciary responsibly is … ? What exactly? And how can the agent protect his own position, in what otherwise could be deemed to be just another ordinary transaction. To say an agent "didn't know" might not suffice in all instances "because 'he' was not required to ask."
Where is it written in a BBA, any requirement to forewarn a buyer of the distinct possibility in general, but especially with all the non resident property flipping going on in Canada contiguous with the rush rush rush of many multiple offer situations, where often a buyer feels compelled not to use common sense that he normally would engage?
Should buyer agency contracts be highlighted in any manner in this regard? (BBA's are a provincial ministry document.) Non resident status is a federal controlled situation, administered at both the provincial and federal level. It's way more complicated than it appears at first glance. It's a tax driven related subject that even some accountants don't fully understand, relative to residential or commercial real estate.
I wonder if there is any case law supporting that finding, regarding "agent to pay." PED is a good researcher on such topical searches.
But as I noted previously, the topic also presents the opportunity to thrust its blow at the agents at large, involved, finding them liable for paying the seller's non-resident related tax as their buyer enjoys his new place non sequitur, even if the agency is in the form of a buyer contract. The sales rep's fiduciary duty could be, and likely would be, called into question.
Wouldn't do any good to contact CRA because without clinical authorization that would be only the beginning of the untangling; they wouldn't even take your call, as an outsider. Refer all declarations and disclosures (and non) to client lawyers or even at the very least, your office corporate lawyer, and hope he is familiar with non resident tax issues. RECO can't help you with this topic.
Often the topic would perhaps float to the surface in a discussion of a question asked of the seller by the would-be listing rep: "Why are you selling/moving?" I often advised in my consumer education articles, not to answer that question, because I always felt the answer has no bearing on the market value of the bricks and mortar and the underlying land, tied to other relative specifics regarding pricing the property properly to go to market; now, clearly, non resident status validation is an exception (and does not, or should not, affect value), but not affecting property value, the clear cut way to find out the seller's current residency status is for a disclaimer/disclosure to be signed by the seller. At the time of signing a listing contract. The agent might be told it is none of his business. Be prepared. But historically I did not ask that question, letting the homeowner take the lead in that part of the conversation, gently guiding to get the needed information to achieve getting the listing in writing. Such additional conversation, including would they need my services in helping them purchase someplace to live after the sale, could be had subsequently, seeing as, in my opinion, the answer had nothing whatsoever to do with determining an asking price for the property. And that was my concentration at that particular point in time.
Put the paper in front of him before you leave with your signed listing, and make sure he understands what he is signing. The net is wide open to capture "the agent" on the government fishing expedition. Like many areas of practising real estate, the industry is enveloping the agent in more and more specific policing required by government. Many topics before only handled in law offices. You don't want to be accused of practicing law without a licence, so if the seller is not prepared to divulge, send him to his lawyer before processing his listing. Although your fiduciary duty is to protect your seller or buyer, you also want to protect your own licence. That was a hefty sum that the notary was found needing to pay, and costs were to be determined. Everyone looses. That's an example case that no one can hope to win..
If the seller refuses to disclose, of course there is your red flag. Or if he signs that he is "not" a non resident property owner (even if he is a non resident), one could think that would be sufficient evidence to let the buyer and the agents be relieved of the responsibility to pay. But the devil is always in the details.
It might not stand as sufficient proof, and then again if the alleged non resident has left the country (Canada, in this case), who is going to chase him down in another country? What is the fallback position of the agent or his buyer in such a case? Questions beg more questions.
With so many pieces of paper already apportioned to the consummation of a real estate transaction, what's one more?
Kind of surprised not to have seen much in print discussion about this topic, directly within out own area of expertise. Often everyone thinks agents are wealthy, so they present with the line of least resistance, in the eyes of those too blind to see. False assumptions prevail. Thinking real estate E and O insurance would not cover such a claim.

As well, things can get really complicated, regarding residency status – it can vary and it can change. A resident can become a non-resident. What many Canadians don't even realise is that a Canadian can actually be deemed a non-resident. Conversely, a clear foreigner can be a resident.
A real problem is also that one can become a non-resident between listing a home and the closing day. Who determines this? Who knows how to do this right? Do we need to leave something that involves so much money to guesswork?
Asking the seller is not the solution. They often don't even know or they might not be truthful. The seller will be "gone" after the sale and indeed, the buyer will be held liable – even when that's completely unfair.
And what if one of the owners is a resident and the other is not? Oh, what a can of worms this is.
Regarding this most valuable REM article today, it is my opinion that a non-resident status acknowledgement must be a requirement as at the time of taking a listing.
It is my understanding that both the buyer and the buyer's agent, along with the listing agency (corp/rep) can be held not only accountable to have documented this information, but actually be held liable to pay the non-resident status tax owed. In 38 years I have not come across an agent who had had that discussion with their seller, or with their buyer, or noted the non-resident status on their listing. I'm sure there are some.
The declaration needs to be noted, at the very least, in the remarks section of a listing. "This seller is a non-resident." At the very least, that information would be a serious alert that any buyer agent showing the property could not deny having been informed at least in the most basic manner. (This head's up REM article should alert any buyer rep to do their own due diligence, and so should their buyer.) At the very least, the agent should immediately notify their buyer's lawyer, about to close the transaction, and should notify their buyer to consult immediately upon deciding to make an offer, with their lawyer. The buyer should include in the APS, an acknowledgement to be initialled by the seller, that he (and anyone else on title to the property who is/are non-residents), re-confirming fine print.
First let me say that I have written permission to share this BC article, as received. I am on their important and valuable article BOR mailing list.
Several years ago, I had direct experience with this sort of situation. I showed a property and the sellers were home. The buyers and the sellers engaged in friendly conversation, during which it was discovered their reason for moving, although they loved their home and they loved living here for the duration of their home ownership, they had been transferred here from the USA and currently after a number of years, now had been relocated elsewhere, back in the United States.
There was a desperate shortage of houses for sale at the time, and my "sold" buyers were wanting to secure a purchase pronto. This property fit their wants and needs list, and could accommodate their preferred closing, too.
My buyers decided to make an offer, but wanted another look-see first. (I did not share that information yet with the listing rep.) It was a weekend showing, and the lockbox wouldn't work. I called the franchise office to see if there was a way to access the lockbox for a second showing as per my second appointment, (before proceeding to type an offer).
One of the two listing agents showed up to open up the stubborn lockbox. I had never had any business transactions with her, but she had worked in the office I was associated with at one time and was prone to hissy fits regularly. And she said to me while walking up the driveway, loud enough for my buyers a few steps behind, to hear: "I sure hope your buyers CAN AFFORD THIS PLACE!!! after dragging me over here to open the lockbox!!!" WOW! My buyers heard her.
Of course her name was on the sign. They later told me they wouldn't forget her anytime soon. (And they told two friends and they told two friends like always happens in such situations.) My buyers were totally disgusted and could not believe the rude behaviour, and her words within earshot. (It's almost funny, because I think it worked out that the buyers were going to prove their point that they could afford the property (and I had their prequals in place) with a full price offer.) I had never worked with the loud agent and I actually put in a special office request to put the other half of the team who was a great rep and a fine person, to be the one to sit at the offer presentation.
But during the overhearing of the engaging nice conversations in the kitchen while viewing, between the buyer and the seller, a little bell went off in my head…. hmmmm… American owner of Canadian property…. My brain screamed at me: Possible "Non-residence status." I explained to my buyers as we were preparing the offer, the possibilities, and informed them that we should get that acknowledged, and did they first want to speak to their lawyer; they were afraid to miss out on the house with such a shortage of product availability; fortunately I had their lawyer's home phone number, so I placed the call on their behalf.
I had a conversation with their would-be lawyer on the transaction, who I happened to know well. I mentioned the non-residence status apparent, as told by the seller, situation and he said yes I was right to have discussed with the buyer.
Although the lawyer was representing the buyers, not the sellers, indeed part of his closing apparatus was to check for such things, but sometimes the lawyer for the other side might get creative and not mention such (knowing it might hold up the seller's equity indefinitely, slowing down the seller's ability to close a stateside purchase on time).
I had done the right thing, but a week or so before closing, Madame Lockbox scolder telephoned me, hopping mad! Her seller had complained that the buyer's lawyer had had a conversation with the seller's lawyer (I didn't know that), and there was a wrinkle in the midst that might prevent the closing. She was furious! (I never did find out exactly what) and full of vitriol, she yelled through the phone: "who did I think I was, alerting the buyer's lawyer that the house was owned by a transferred American of possible non-resident status."
WHAT had that to do with my having sold the house to my buyer??? she wanted to know. She let me know in no uncertain terms that the non-residence situation was none of my business (and she had not known about it); heck, the American was HER seller client! and she obviously had not discussed the situation in an alert and helpful fashion to put her seller at ease when she took his listing.
None of us would have known this particular instance, but for the kitchen-conversation between the seller and my buyer, and of course I couldn't help but overhear it; I did not partake in the conversation. But I wanted "everyone" protected, so I did MY homework.
Of course all I could do was to refer the jumping up and down, swearing at me, listing agent to the lawyers involved if she wanted to discuss it further. I only knew that the seller had been forthcoming and honest in stating he was relocating out of Canada, having been transferred in a few years prior. I didn't want any wrinkles for my buyer, (or for the seller) – or for us agents either, on the off chance anything untoward could affect the closing, not the least of which that any agent in the transaction could have been called upon to provide the non-resident tax owing.
Everything closed on time and the buyer still lives in that house all these years later. Often I did such a good job finding the just right house for my buyers, that they literally never had to move again. EVER! But I often did business with Americans coming and going, and foreigners from overseas, as far away as Australia..
I always gave them a head's up and explained to them at length that they needed to discuss the "Canadian" non-resident status situation with their lawyer well ahead of making their own inward or outward bound plans, so that they, too, would not encounter surprises. I was often surprised how little they knew about owning property in a foreign (that would be here) country. They always were grateful we had such discussions out in the open. I never forgot that first possible problem encounter, that served to reassure me that it's always better to get things like that out in the open and let the professionals deal with it.
Members of the public read REM. This article should provide a head's up to readers in general, and perhaps even to the press; something worthwhile discussing at length. And thank you also to the BC BOR who provides their legal articles regularly.

The Tribal Gods
by Dave E. Matson
The Bible has "manmade" written all over it. One of the obvious giveaways is Yahweh's fixation on one little tribe, to the exclusion of a whole world. Yahweh adopts that tribe as his special people, and he leads them in bloody little wars against their neighbors. That is to say, Yahweh acts no differently than Chemosh, the god of the Moabites, or Baal, the storm-god of the Canaanites, or Dagon, or any of the other chief tribal gods in the neighborhood. Each of these primitive gods is concerned with one little tribe, because each was manufactured by that tribe--as a personification of nature.
It never occurred to the ancients to question the morality exhibited by their gods. The fearful forces of nature spoke powerfully and man listened. Who could question the power of lightning or the thumping of giant hailstones or the strength of floods? It never occurred to the ancients that a truly powerful god would not have to act in such clumsy ways, for nature was the only god they knew. It never occurred to the ancients that a truly wise and powerful god would communicate face to face with each man or woman rather than through nebulous dreams, divinations, or (later) vague scriptures and obscure answers to personal supplication. The gods of nature never spoke openly, but rather in whispers and dreams and omens, or so the ancients perceived. It never occurred to them that their gods should be concerned with the well being of all peoples, including their troublesome neighbors. Gods in those days were tribal gods, including Yahweh. They concerned themselves only with their particular tribes.
("On Taking the Bible and Noah's Flood Literally"
- Dave Matson, The Oak Hill Free Press)
On a clear night look up at the sky. Look beyond the stars and into the great void. Are those trillions upon trillions of galaxies out there, stretching across inconceivable distances, each bearing billions of suns that support countless worlds, created for the sake of man alone? Would a rancher carefully prepare 1,000,000 acres in order to house a few ants? Of course not! But religious conceit and the human ego know no bounds, and many people further believe that God is only interested in their little tribe or religious sect out of a whole world of humanity. Such conceit just boggles the mind!
A god smart enough to design a living world--and powerful enough to set galaxies into motion--would have interests as wide as the universe itself. All of humanity would come equally under the caring hand of such a deity. There would be no special people or sect. And, you would never catch such a god leading one tribe in vicious, little wars against its neighbors as though he were a school boy at play!
Since the New Testament is based on the Old, at least according to the authors of the Gospels, and since the Old Testament is built around Yahweh, and since Yahweh is clearly a tribal god, the working brain immediately concludes that the Bible is a manmade work.

How many other teams passed on Mahomes and Watson? And was Barkley a bad pick compared to Darnold? I like Darnold but Barkley looks like a once in a generation talent at RB. The Giants have had some whiffs but I'm not sure Barkley was one of them.
Meh. The jury's still out on Darnold, and I just can't seem to get excited about Watson. As much as it scares me to watch him as a Cowboys fan, much better than these two is Randall Cunningham....

I know I used the Broadway Bound Specialty Designer paper for masculine cards before. But today's card is a little different. I want to show you how you can use just a small piece of Designer Paper to add some pizzazz to a card front. Generally, I use a larger piece for a layer. This card is also quick and easy to make, #simplestamping.
So red and green don't have to be just for Christmas!
Design Notes for Broadway Bound Card:
I used a 2″ wide strip of the Designer Paper to anchor the design. You could get 12 of these 5 1/4″ long strips from just one sheet of 12″ x 12″ paper! The colors came from the Designer Paper. Aren't they great together?
After stamping the sentiment from the Picture Perfect Birthday stamp set on some Whisper white card stock, I realized that it needed something to make it pop a bit. So I simply punched another circle with the 2 1/4″ Circle Punch and set it behind the sentiment. Just what it needed. The Candle Embellishment was just the right accent.
I also stamped and decorated the inside!
Purchase List for Broadway Bound Card:
This and That:
Ready to order? Just click on any of the images in the Purchase List above and that will take you to my 24-7 on-line store. Remember to use this month's Host Code, 4KGPMV99. If your order is $50 or more, I'll send along a little gift including a hand crafted card.

I'm feeling awfully lazy today. I really don't even want to get out of bed!
More goodies from FaMESHed! I fell in love with the adorable Bowlicious dresses from The Secret Store when I first saw the photos! I'm wearing it in cappuccino because I sure could use one right now!
Gos Boutique has a special Gold Snake color of the Grace sandals for FaMESHed this round. I'm not usually a big fan of animal prints, or snakes, but I really couldn't resist buying these gorgeous shoes.
Trompe Loeil's Gramercy bedroom suite is so perfect, I can't get over it. I'm just using the bed right now, but truly, the whole set is amazing. It's also great for men because it's not overly feminine like many bedroom sets in Second Life tend to be.
Not at FaMESHed, how cute is the Virginie hair from Truth?? I love the swoop to the side! Have I mentioned how much I love his Fades pack? I've been wearing the Seasand fade color lately and it's just fab!
Enough of that – let's get some shopping done!

What Is CryptoDungeons And Why Should You Play It?
by Ante Milos
CryptoDungeons, a Final Fantasy-like blockchain videogame, has announced its plan to port over the game's contents and create a game on the TRON blockchain. CryptoDungeons is one of many games to join TRON Arcade, and will undoubtedly help TRON in their mission to make DGaming mainstream.
CryptoDugneons Lore & Gameplay
War; a word on everyone's lips in the kingdom of Brightdawn. The king has ordered its citizens to gather supplies, polish their armor and sharpen their weapons, as a war is on the horizon.
As a player, your current job is to complete missions, which require you to gather various supplies and materials. With these materials, you can craft weapons and armor which you can use on your next missions. To complete these missions, you must carefully choose your heroes, for each hero has its own strengths and weaknesses.
If you have 3 or more heroes, you can also participate in dungeons and obtain rare items. These items will come in handy in any combat but will be particularly useful in PvP tournaments, which will hold generous prize pots.
On Items and Characters
There are 5 races in CryptoDungeons: Humans, Orcs, Elves, Dwarfs, and Angles. Furthermore, each race has 4 classes, including mages, priests, warriors, and rogues.
So, each hero you own belongs to a specific race and class. Each hero is also an NFT, and can as such be bought in the CryptoDungeons store. As expected, each hero class will have unique abilities according to their design. For instance, warriors will have "Heavy Strike" and "Shield Wall" abilities, allowing them to do massive physical damage in close combats and sustain enemies' attacks.
You can upgrade your heroes with items, which you can find in missions and dungeons. Alternatively, you can craft these items from the materials you collect in your missions. You can find all your heroes and items in your inventory, and even sell them on the market to make a profit.
Play and Earn TRX
Because the game will launch on TRON Arcade, players will be able to earn TRX by selling heroes and items, or by winning PvP tournaments with generous TRX prize pots.
The game is still in development, but the devs said that they'll soon initiate a presale. If you like the game and are interested in trying it out, it's best that you join the CryptoDungens official Discord channel. You may also follow their official Twitter account for additional news and updates.

Are you the owner of a vehicle? If so, chances are you have needed to repair your vehicle at one point or another. You can feel like you're going insane when trying to find a good mechanic. The following information will help you be able to make the right decisions.
Don't take an emergency car kit for granted. This kit should consist of tire changing tools, jumper cables, and an empty container that is appropriate for re-fueling your gas tank. Also pack a few blankets, some batteries, and a good flashlight.
You might not need a mechanic to fix your car problem. There are many things you can fix easily. You can always go online and try to diagnose the problem and educate yourself to the possibilities. If it is not a very difficult job, you can save some money by doing the repairs yourself.
Referrals are one of the best ways to find a reputable auto mechanic. Talk to anyone you know and get recommendations from them. You can gain information about prices and level of quality. People will tell you about the mechanic's honesty and if their experience was a good one.
Request OEM parts. These are original components from the manufacturer. While generics are much cheaper, they are not held to the same quality standards. A cheap, generic part is less of a bargain if it only lasts half as long as an OEM part would.
Replacing your own taillights and headlights is an easy way to save money. It's easier to do in some cars, but it's more cost effective than hiring a mechanic. Ask someone you trust if he can teach you how to fix these problems.
The process of finding good auto repair shops can be difficult due to shady companies. Use the tips you have just read when you next need your car to be repaired. You should also maintain your vehicle regularly to avoid issues.
