Online retailers would have you believe that the perfect shopping experience is just a mouse click away. Sure, shopping online is easy; there are no lines, no slogs through snowy streets, no parking issues. But that's only half the story.
Christmas decorations have been hung and holiday spirits are high in downtown Crystal, but as evening hours approached, the colorful decorative displays were left in the dark. At Wednesday evening's Crystal Township Board meeting, Supervisor Chris Johnston informed the audience that due to work performed by Consumers Energy in the spring, several of the power lines providing energy to various Christmas decorations are no longer functional.
Contract disputes are never fun … especially when they drag out. After nearly six months of negotiations, a contract between Belding Area Schools and the Belding Education Association (BEA) remains stagnant after two failed tentative agreements.
"There's never anywhere to park!" This is a lament heard frequently in downtown Lakeview, particularly during village-wide events like Summerfest, Winterfest and holiday gatherings at McKenna's Tavern (just try finding a spot on Lincoln Avenue after 2 p.m. on St. Patrick's Day).
Installing energy-efficient heating and cooling systems saves lots of green in the long run, but the initial investment cost leaves many people seeing red.
Some Michigan business owners are considering whether Michigan's Public Act 270 of 2010, the property assessed clean energy (PACE) act, can help them upgrade their facilities in a high efficiency manner while spreading the cost over a longer, more affordable timeframe.
Imagine waking up in the early morning hours and firing up the snowplow to clear local streets, ushering in mourners for an afternoon funeral visitation, researching a possible zoning violation, presiding over an evening village council meeting and then being roused from your sleep well after midnight to rush out and fight a fire.
For five years, village leaders have clung tightly to a dream of restoring one of this community's oldest standing properties, one that, in a much older time, served as a thriving beacon of business. But how does one translate such a dream into reality?

March 22, 2012 – Cubs Lineup vs Rangers
Cubs face the Rangers today…… again. Matt Garza takes the ball today, hoping to get a good 5-6 innings of work in. The game can be listened to or watched live on Cubs.com. This is an exclusive broadcast, and I believe it is free, if it isn't you can blame me for lying to you. Here's how the Cubs lineup today. Go Cubs!
SS Barney
2B DeWitt
LF Soriano
1B LaHair
C Soto
3B Stewart
CF Mather
DH Clevenger

Strasburg to Start Opening Day in Wrigley
Davey Johsnon has announced that Stephen Strasburg will be the Washington Nationals opening day starter against the Chicago Cubs on Thursday, April 5th. He has never been to Chicago, let alone Wrigley Field, but obviously said it is a "tremendous honor." Hopefully we can make his first appearance in Wrigley one he would like to forget. The Cubs have yet to announce their opening day starter, it appears it will either be Matt Garza or Ryan Dempster.
Go Cubs!
Mark Sorrentino
Mather Continues to Make Strong Case
Joe Mather continues to impress as he hit a game winning solo homerun yesterday against the Texas Rangers. He is making a strong case to make the opening day roster with a rather impressive spring thus far. Not only has Mather had a nice spring with the bat, but his versatility should only improve his chances of making the team. He can play the corner outfield spots and can also play both corner spots in the infield. Mather, 29 hits from the right side of the plate, which if he makes the team he should get plenty of playing time against left-handed pitching as he could spell DeJesus, LaHair, and Sewart. (more…)
Casey Weathers Removed From 40-Man Roster
The Cubs removed RHP Casey Weathers from the 40-man roster today. He was obtained this offseason with Ian Stewart in the deal that sent Tyler Colvin and D.J. Lemahieu to the Rockies. (more…)
Cubs Beat Cross Town Rivals
The Cubs beat the White Sox today 5-1. The pitching was the difference as the Cubs staff only surrendered four hits today. Starting pitcher Travis Wood pitched well and so did Randy Wells who induced a bases loaded double play to Paul Konerko to end the 3rd. Also in relief today was Lopez, Rhee, and Castillo. The Cubs offense was powered by Edgar Gonzalez, Steve Clevenger, and Marlon Byrd who all hit their first homers of the spring. Soriano stayed hot leading the game off with a double later scoring on a Darwin Barney base hit. It is always nice to beat the Chicago White Sox whether it is spring training or not.
Full Box Score on its way.

Dolis Looking to Impress
Right handed pitcher Rafael Dolis, 24 has looked impressive so far this spring and he, like many other young players are hoping to make a good impression with the new Cubs brass and make it a hard decision to send him back to the minor leagues. (more…)
Castro Speaks
"You've got to be careful because there are a lot of bad people in the world." This coming from Castro today, marking the first day he has spoken to the media about the alleged sexual assault case. He would not say much more about the claim except that he has cooperated with the police, which he talked to when he was in town for the Cubs Convention in mid January. (more…)
Theo Compensation Done, Carpenter Headed to Boston
After four months, the Cubs and Red Sox have finalized the deal that brought Theo Epstein to Chicago. Headed to Boston is relief pitcher Chris Carpenter, who impressed in his short time up with the Cubs at the end of last year. Carpenter, who is 26 years old, will be given a shot in the Red Sox bullpen, where I expect him to have some decent success. The deal also says that the Red Sox will receive a player to be named later, and the Cubs will receive a player to be named later (April 15th deadline already in place). I don't anticipate either of the players being anything more than fringe prospects. All parties have been assured that these players will be named before the conlcusion of Spring Training. Theo Epstein released a statement this morning regarding Carpenter going the other way, in a word, he is relieved.
Cubs Sign Nate Robertson
The Chicago Cubs have added another veteran depth pitcher. According to Eyewitness Sport, LHP Nate Robertson has signed with the Chicago Cubs to a minor league deal. Robertson, 34, is most known for the years he spent in Detroit from 2003-2009. He has been used mostly as a starting pitcher throughout his career, with his best season coming in 2006 where he posted a 13-13 record with a 3.84 ERA. Since, his career has been on the decline and last year he had a 7.14 ERA in 18 starts while pitching in Tacoma, the Mariners' Triple-A affiliate.
This signing is yet another way to get depth in the organization. Evident from last year the Cubs do not have a lot of pitching depth and they have spent a lot of the offseason attempting to improve it. While being mainly a starter, it is possible the Cubs picked him up hoping he would be more successful in a left-handed reliever role, but only time will tell. Ultimately this ends up being a low-risk low-reward type signing that might help the team at some point throughout the year, or we may never hear his name again.
Thanks for Reading,
Mark Sorrentino
Blake DeWitt Clears Waivers
It was eleven days ago when Blake DeWitt was designated for assignment. Today the 26-year old utility player cleared waivers and the Cubs have sent him to Triple-A Iowa. I am guessing DeWitt will be a non-roster invitee to Spring Training with a chance to win a reserve role, much like the one he had last year. If he makes the team he will earn $1.1 million for the upcoming season. If he does not make the team the Cubs will have to decide if they want him to play in Iowa in case of injury in Chicago, or they could release him. Obviously the Cubs also could look to trade him between now and the start of the season as well.
Coming soon: Pitchers and Catchers Report……. And hopefully
we have the Epstein compensation issue resolved soon.
Thanks for reading,
Mark Sorrentino

Love, love, loved the reel until yesterday. I had a 2# Octopus (not very big) bite my hook and I winched it in - dead weight. Shallow water so needed to reel it in fast - it kept grabbing on to rocks. Today I hear the gears grinding. I'm really bummed because I thought that reel was a "workhorse" type of reel before this. I'll still use it but the smoothness has definitely disappeared. This is the first time I've had an experience like this from a Shimano reel.

Flashlight hides a hidden camera inside
Sure, when the power goes out the first thing you'll want is light. And this flashlight will provide that handily, in LED form. But what's the second thing you want? If you said a video camera, well, you're in luck, because this flashlight is one of those as well.
Yes, this flashlight hides a video camera that can record in AVI format directly to its 4GB of built-in memory. It's got a USB port on the back for transferring video to your computer. But yeah, first and foremost, it'll supply you with light. After that, what you do with it is up to you.

Best-selling authors Gary Chapman and Catherine Palmer team up to show how four married couples, all in different stages in life, experience the joys and hardships of marriage as examined in Gary Chapman's The Four Seasons of Marriage. In book one, Steve and Brenda face a common problem among middle-age couples: empty nest syndrome. Steve works too much, and with their two children out of the house, Brenda feels lonely and unfulfilled. In order to save their marriage, the two must learn to reconnect. Readers are also introduced to many charming characters, like Cody, the mentally challenged homeless man that shows up on Steve and Brenda's porch; Pete, who owns the Rods 'N' Ends tackle shop; and Patsy Pringle, who owns the Just As I Am beauty parlor, where much of the action takes place.The series is based on the marriage principles found in Gary Chapman's non-fiction book The Four Seasons of Marriage. Similar in tone and light-hearted, quirky humor as Jan Karon's Mitford series, Fannie Flagg's books or Steel Magnolias. Each book has a study guide that talks about the four seasons of marriage and the healing strategies depicted in that volume's story.

10 Hardware Troubleshooting Tips
Looking for 10 hardware troubleshooting tips? Computers are real assets when they are working, but when things go wrong it's good to have a list of some PC hardware troubleshooting tips. When problems arise, they can often be solved easily by the computer user.
To troubleshoot your hardware, you will need:
- A cotton swab
- Rubbing alcohol
- A small paintbrush
- A can of compressed air
- Troubleshoot a cursor that jumps erratically around on the screen when the mouse is touched by cleaning the mouse. This hardware problem often occurs for computer users who have a mouse with a ball (not a wireless mouse). Turn the mouse upside down. Give a half-turn to the cover over the ball to remove the cover. Remove the ball. Dip a cotton swab in rubbing alcohol and scrub the axles inside the mouse to remove dirt. Allow it to dry. Brush the ball off with a small paintbrush, place it back into the mouse and replace the cover.
- Rule out the electrical power. Troubleshooting a "dead" computer can be diagnosed by something as simple as a bad wall outlet, a blown circuit breaker, a light switch that controls the outlet being accidentally turned off or the computer's power cord becoming loosened in the outlet or at the back of the computer.
- Check and re-seat all hardware connections to the PC. Consider the computer case itself as a hub to which external devices are connected. Unplug and plug back in all cables that plug into the computer: the keyboard, mouse, printer, internet connection, speakers and so on. Sometimes cables can work loose or dust and oxide can build up on electrical connections.
- Clean floppy, CD and DVD drives to troubleshoot reading and writing media errors. Floppy drives can be cleaned with kits that come with a floppy-like disk that contains a stiff cleaning disc and a small bottle of alcohol. CD/DVD cleaners are CD discs that have fine brushes attached to them to clean debris from the laser lens.
- Troubleshoot a PC hardware problem where the computer works fine when you first turn it on, but shortly thereafter it either shuts down or programs begin working erratically. This is caused by a thick accumulation of dust building up on the microprocessor. Microprocessors generate a lot of heat and must have ventilation. Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before opening the case. Remove the case cover and carefully blow out the dust on the microprocessor's fan and heat sink with a can of compressed air, available at office supply and electronics stores. For stubborn, caked-on dust, use a paint brush to gently remove it.
- Properly remove flash drives to prevent corrupt files. USB flash drives can easily be inserted and pulled out of a PC, but they should never be pulled out without first clicking on the "remove flash drive" icon on the task bar. This icon appears as a green arrow and a flash drive. Click on this icon and a menu will appear of all the USB devices and their drive letter designation that are currently connected. Click on the device you want to remove.
- Swap out hardware components to troubleshoot defective peripherals. Try another keyboard, mouse, printer, monitor or set of speakers to see if that cures the problem.
- Locate an external hard drive in a place where it will not accidentally be knocked over. Many models look like a book standing up, which makes them easy to tip over. If they fall over while they are running it can destroy the drive, as the heads can hit the spinning platter (a "head crash").
- Check the brightness and contrast controls on your monitor when troubleshooting a dark or black screen. Cleaning or dusting a monitor or around it can result in accidentally bumping any controls on the monitor.
- Change out RAM memory cards, which can cause a host of unusual problems, such as software that does not run correctly. This should be done only if you feel confident opening a PC's case, grounding yourself, identifying the RAM, pulling back the clips that hold it in place and removing the cards. Swap out an identical card and see if that solves your problem.

Residents of the Island of Manhattan in New York City are reminded that they live on a island and surrounded on one side by the Hudson River and the other by the East River when they cross a bridge or go through a tunnel to enter or leave it. Two weeks ago they were reminded starkly that they do indeed live on an island when Hurricane Sandy visited. Sandy reminded them by creating storm surges so high that part of the East and Hudson rivers flooded into many of their homes, cars and New York City's infrastructure, leaving thousands without electricity, food or housing for days. In fact, two weeks later, many are still without these things and it has been predicted that some will remain homeless for quite a while after Sandy rendered their homes uninhabitable.
In the midst of the inevitable post-Sandy discussion, the topic of global climate change has come up once again. This is because some have argued that storms like Sandy are a result of global warming and that, given the current trend in the climate, we can "expect more where Sandy came from". And, as many readers are no doubt aware, most climate scientists think that the upward trend in average global temperature, over the last 100 years or so, is caused mainly by human activity. Thus, if we humans don't change our ways, my home in New York City and other low lying areas around the world, might have to contend with the likes and effects of Sandy-type storms for years to come. But what kind of behavioral changes are required?
An article on this topic that appeared on National Geographic's website offered these suggestions: compost organic waste, recycle other household waste, turn off lights when we leave the room, cycle and walk instead of driving, and similar practices. The article is careful to state that these behavioral changes won't stop global warming but could significantly reduce CO2 emissions, the main culprit in the global warming story.
Now whenever I consider these kinds of behavioral changes and the likelihood of them occurring on a large enough scale to help address the global warming challenge, I become a bit depressed. This is due to my familiarity with game theory, an area of mathematics studied by both economists and statisticians. One of the scenarios frequently discussed in game theory is the Assurance game. The following table has the set up:
Table 1
"Cooperate" is a generic term that refers to some kind of pro-social behavior and "Don't Cooperate" refers to some type of anti-social behavior. "Row" refers to the row player and "Column" to the column player. The "bottom line" of the Assurance game is that if players are rational, meaning they want to maximize payoffs (the numbers in the table) to themselves, there is a good chance that they will both end up not cooperating. That is, there is a good chance that they'll end up in the bottom right cell of the table. Here is why.
If the row player cooperates and the column player does too, the row player ends up with a payoff of 6 the highest payoff for that player in the table. But if the row player cooperates and the column player doesn't do so, the row player ends up with a payoff of 4, the lowest payoff in the table. The problem is that the row player doesn't know what the column player will do. Thus, the prudent course for the row player might be not to cooperate. But, as can be seen from the table, the column player faces the same situation. Thus, that player might prudently decide not to cooperate too. Yet if they both decide not to cooperate, they end up doing worse off than if they had both cooperated. What appears to be individually rational behavior turns out to be collectively irrational behavior. What does this have to do with climate change? Well consider Table 2 below:
Table 2
This is the same table as before, in terms of the payoffs. But I've changed who those payoffs apply to. "Go greener" refers to walking more, biking more, composting organic waste, etc. "Don't go greener" refers to refraining from doing these things and behaving as one always has. The way to read the table is to think of each of us as being in the position of person 1.
Now if person 1 goes greener and everyone else does too, person 1 attains their highest payoff. CO2 levels come down and we make more headway against the problem of global climate change. But if person 1 goes greener and no one else does, person 1 receives their lowest payoff. They've changed their behavior but because no one else has, CO2 levels don't decrease by very much. Not only is this the case but person 1 has also incurred the personal cost of going greener. Thus, on the whole, person 1 will have increased the cost to themselves for nothing. Therefore, they may be better off not changing their behavior. If everyone else does the same, CO2 emissions won't change---a bad outcome. But it won't be as bad as CO emissions not coming down and having to pay the increased personal cost of going greener. But if we all (or most of us) think this way none (or not enough) of us go greener.
The problem highlighted by the Assurance game is a lack of trust. If person 1 could trust that others will go greener, there would be an incentive for them to do so as well. In the absence of trust, some other mechanism seems required to move enough people to cooperate. This is where government might come in. Governments, of course, have the authority to require people to behave in certain ways and those ways could certainly include requiring more composting and recycling, less driving, etc. Having "big brother" require us to turn the lights off in our homes, though, might be going it bit too far. But climate change and its predicted negative consequences are global problems. Perhaps this means that we need a global government - can anyone say President or Prime Minister Ban Ki-Moon?
The problem with this analysis is the assumption of the payoff matrix. In real life, I am much better off going greener whether or not anyone else does: I experience substantial savings by going carfree, and in addition health benefits from walking and cycling are non-trivial.
The article is about behavior change with the intention of attaining what might be called the social benefit of reducing CO2 emissions to help address global climate change. Or, to put it differently, the individual benefit I'm concerned about is the benefit of living in a world without the disruptive and other effects of climate change predicted by scientists. That's why I leave out the kinds of individual benefits you're referring to (saving money for oneself, the health benefits of walking and biking, etc.). Mathematical models leave out "real life" things all the time in order to focus on what's relevant to certain questions. The question I focused on is why it's so hard to get people to behave in ways with the intention of helping us make more of an impact on the climate change problem. I suspect the answer doesn't just come down to the assurance game. My guess is that a big part of the problem is powerful economic interests that profit greatly from the way we currently do things fighting to maintain the current system. But I think the assurance game might offer a little help in understanding this too. But let's consider the point you made. I don't think it helps much to focus just on the personal benefits of going car free, walking, and cycling and whether they are non-trivial. This is because the personal costs of doing these things might be non-trivial too and might even exceed the benefits of doing so. If so, this could explain why more people don't turn to walking and biking than currently do. Now there may be things governments can do, like creating more bike lanes, to lower the personal cost (like the chance of being hit by a car) of biking and it may be that powerful interests groups block these changes too. But this wouldn't change the fact (if it is one) that from an individual's point of view the net benefit of driving exceeds that of walking or biking.
The problem with this analysis is the assumption of the payoff matrix. In real life, I am much better off going greener whether or not anyone else does: I experience substantial savings by going carfree, and in addition health benefits from walking and cycling are non-trivial.
The question should be: "Will God Provide a World Government?", because on the dollar bill you can read "In God we trust".

Like millions of other Canadians, I once dreamed that I would be fighting for the Stanley Cup. But I always thought that I would be wearing goalie pads, not a gown.How does Canadas arguably most recognized symbol outside of the maple leaf end up in court? Our firm responded to a question for help from the Wednesday Nighters a group of self-described geriatric amateur hockey players who asked us, on behalf of all Canadians, Who owns the Stanley Cup and what are the terms of its competition?On April 13, we filed an application seeking direction from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice to satisfy these questions, once and for all.The story of the Stanley Cup dates back to 1892 when Lord Stanley, then Governor General of Canada, a big sports fan himself, thought it would be a good idea to award a trophy to the champion hockey team in the Dominion.I have for some time past been thinking that it would be a good thing if there were a challenge cup which should be held from year to year by the champion hockey team in the Dominion Stanley said. There does not appear to be any such outward and visible sign of championship at present, and considering the general interest which the matches now elicit, and the importance of having the game played fairly and under rules generally recognized, I am willing to give a cup which shall be held from year to year by the winning team.The Governor General directed an aide, Captain Colville, to go to Regent Street in London, England and purchase a silver bowl with an ebony base. Captain Colville carried out his task and spent 10 Guineas to purchase what has become the Holy Grail of hockey.Lord Stanley also appointed trustees to oversee the terms of each years competition for the Stanley Cup. In the early days only amateur teams played for the cup. Over the years this changed and by 1910 only professional teams vied for this trophy. In 1947 the then trustees signed an agreement with the National Hockey League delegating to the NHL the right to award the cup. The NHL jealously guards the use of the name and image of the cup, which they have registered as trade-marks.The awarding of the cup has taken place yearly since 1893 with one exception 1919 when an outbreak of influenza left teams incapable of playing the series. On Feb. 16, the NHL cancelled the season. Many people, including a group of fans called Free Stanley based in Edmonton, felt strongly that someone should play for the Stanley Cup. Armed with a legal opinion from Edmonton lawyer Roderick Payne to the effect that the 1947 agreement with the NHL was invalid, they encouraged fans to write the trustees seeking to play for the cup.One Wednesday night in Toronto, the Wednesday Nighters decided to take up the challenge. Gard Shelley, a lawyer and member of the group, wrote the trustees asking for the right to play for the Stanley Cup. He received a response from the Hockey Hall of Fame not the trustees quoting Brian ONeill, one of the trustees, as follows: The Stanley Cup belongs to the National Hockey League and once the NHL resumes play, thats when it will be presented. This didnt seem right to Shelley and the other Wednesday Nighters, one of whom is David Burt, another lawyer. They went in search of an Ontario lawyer that would work to wrest the Stanley Cup from the NHL and return it to its rightful place, in the control of the trustees. Their search ended at our firm Gilberts LLP a litigation boutique located in another historical landmark the Flatiron Building in Toronto.Shelley and David Burt then launched an application under the Charities Accounting Act seeking a declaration that the Stanley Cup is held in trust for the benefit of hockey and that terms require the trustees to award the cup annually, including of course this year. The application is focused on who owns the cup and on what terms. The applicants argue that Lord Stanley created a charitable purpose trust. The applicants have been assisted by trust law expert, David Paciocco of the University of Ottawa, Paul Kitchen, a hockey historian, and Public History, North Americas largest history research firm. The NHL is represented by Jeff Galway of Blakes, Cassels & Graydon LLP and the trustees are represented by David Bell of Marin, Evans & Bell.The application raises interesting issues for the NHL. If the Stanley Cup is not a charitable purpose trust, then the trust fails and the property reverts to the grantor, and outside the control of the NHL. As Lord Stanley was Governor General when he gave the cup, the cup may revert back to the Office of the Governor General. In this way the cup may truly belong to the people of Canada. What effect this will have on the NHLs rights surrounding the cup, including the trade-marks, will be the next question.Face-off of these issues is scheduled for July 18.
Tim Gilbert is the founder and a partner at Gilberts LLP, a boutique firm located in the Flatiron Building in downtown Toronto. Although hockey is one of Tims personal passions, the focus of Gilberts LLP is complex litigation and strategic advice, particularly in the context of the pharmaceutical industry.

The new helmet for sporty tours, the S2, is the result of 90 years experience in all aspects of head protection. In 1922 we began to focus on head protection. For 60 years we have been developing helmets for motorcyclists. For decades Schuberth helmets have been regarded around the world as the epitome of sophisticated premium products which combine maximum comfort with maximum safety. And naturally the S2 has inherited only the best genes from its predecessors.
In the core discipline of aerodynamics Schuberth sets standards. As early as 1982 we invested in a wind tunnel of our own and have since been researching into helmets with regard to the air flow behaviour. In 1984 Schuberth was the first helmet manufacturer in the world to present a helmet designed according to aerodynamic criteria: the Speed helmet. Since then the aerodynamics of Schuberth helmets have continuously been enhanced. The new S2 helmet for sporty tours incorporates the sum total of Schuberth's knowledge. The helmet is extremely stable in the air flow. It unquestionably marks another stage in the Schuberth evolution.
The extremely low noise development by the air flow and turbulences makes a decisive contribution to the passive safety of the new S2 helmet for sporty tours. The values are impressive – regardless of whether the rider is on a motorcycle with a fairing or a naked bike. The S2 profits from Schuberth's early passion for high tech . We were the first in the world to research into the reasons why noise develops in helmets in our own aeroacoustic tunnel. In 1987 Schuberth launched the first aeroacoustically designed helmet on the market, the "Profil". All our findings are combined in the S2. The result is a pleasantly quiet, ultra-modern helmet.
Schuberth repeatedly sets new milestones with its innovations. Thinking a bit further ahead than others is a tradition at Schuberth. It is no coincidence that the company invented world firsts which are so practical for motorcyclists, such as the first flip-up helmet, the first helmet with an integrated sun visor and the first jet helmet with a removable chin guard. The S2 also writes a new page in the company history of passion for high tech and innovation. The S2 is the first helmet in the world to have integrated antennas for optimised Bluetooth and radio reception.

Can you enter Canada from the US if you have a DUI?
February 2012
I was recently accepted to do my PhD work in Canada. Problem is I got a first (and last) OWI about 1 year ago. Contacted the consulate to hear that the TRP process would take approximately one year. Need all sorts of documents and $200 application fee on a dice roll. I'm tempted to just chance it at the border, apply for a study permit and hope nobody asks. If someone does, I'll have to be honest and apply for the TRP at the border. But, I've heard TRP's are hard to get and they require exceptional circumstances. I hope studying for a doctorate in Canada might be considered exceptional. I don't know they just make you ineligible for a driver's license, and if they ever catch you driving, just deport and ban you from Canada. Both the DUI and marijuana things are dumb on both the US and Canada's part. I can understand trafficking or felony-related drug convictions, or multiple DUI's or with injuries. Other dumb, minor mistakes should be admissible. I'm considering writing both the US and Canadian governments about this issue. I thought the US and Canada had a good, open relationship with trust and responsibility. I guess that's not totally the case.
March 2012
I was very lucky to find someone very interesting on line in Mid-November. That was the good news. The first bad news was delivered by Mapquest: she was 621.48 miles away....But, we e-mailed and talked...then talked and talked some more. After a month and a half, curiosity got the better of both of us. We began seeing each other on New Year's weekend. It went well. The drive was long enough. Adding to the duration was the length I was waiting to get across the border. Thinking I might save some time, I was about to make a huge mistake. I applied for a Nexus pass on line. I was asked on the application if I had ever committed any serious crimes. Thinking nothing of it (I have not had a drink in 19 years), I disclosed three DUI's all of which occurred in the 1980's. The last occured in 1987, almost 25 years ago.
Five weeks ago, I received a call from a border agent. I was expecting a few routine follow-up questions quickly leading to her advising me that my application for the Nexus pass was to be approved. I was shocked when she told me that the purpose of her call was to inform me that I was not eligible to be in Canada. Anyone who has been in a new (and great) relationship can imagine how I felt. The officer was kind enough to tell me about an expedited process and give me the number of another border agent. When I told her that my girlfriend had no passport she advised me of another possible way I might enter Canada but, with the caveat that it would be at the border officer's discretion to allow me to enter.
I called the other border officer then went on line as soon as I could to begin putting together the paperwork necessary for reinstatement. I studied the language of the requirements for "rehabilitaton" then went to each county courthouse to obtain the necessary records. I searched law libraries to get copies of the statutes which contained the sections of the criminal code under which I was charged. I set up appointments as soon as possible to obtain my state criminal background checks as soon as possible. I made an appointment with the county sheriff's office which is necessary to take fingerprints for the FBI criminal background check. Whenever possible, I obtained certified copies of court records. I sent my FBI background check certified mail, return receipt requested. I had two passport photos taken. I obtained three letters of recommendation (actually, only two are necessary).
After I had obtained everything necessary but for the FBI background check (which can take up to 8 weeks), I put together the packet, double and triple checked it against the checklist provided by the Canadian government (both on line and in the packet they send you) then drafted a cover letter covering every single item in the checklist (just to make sure I had not forgotten everything).
I then sent my application by Fed Ex (you will require a Fed Ex store that does international deliveries if you want overnight delivery).
I kept the multiple copies of my packet.
I then called the officer in charge of my case. I told her that my packet was assembled and on its way. We then discussed what the first officer had told me (that I might be allowed in Canada if I showed up with a copy of my entry packet). I was very disheartened when she advised me that I would likely be turned away.
I was feeling very discouraged, THEN I FOUND THIS BLOG. I read the posting of someone with almost an identical situation (except that he had a job interview rather than a girlfriend in Canada). He was was allowed entry. I talked to friend with (U.S.) Homeland Security. He thought my chances for admission were, maybe, a little greater than 50/50 despite what the border agent processing my paperwork had advised.
I decided to suck it up and give it a shot. I drove the 500 miles to the border, handed the agent my passport along with a complete copy of my application and the supporting documents. My heart sank, when he said, "We don't process those here" but, I VERY POLITELY (re)-explained what the first border agent had told me. He wrote up a ticket and sent me to the building that held the immigration agents.
A very nice female immigration officer took my papers. She told me to have a seat. Shen then informed me that contrary to what the poster on this blog had stated, they do NOT have the capacity to process the applications for reinstatement on the spot at the ports of entry. My heart sank further. I waited anxiously until she informed me that THEY DO HAVE THE CAPACITY TO PROVIDE YOU A TEMPORARY RESIDENCE PERMIT FOR $200.
After reviewing my file and looking at my period of sobriety, letters of recommendation and length since the offenses were last committed, she declared me "low risk". She then asked when I thought I might return. When I told her "a couple of weeks", she gave me temporary residence status for up to 3 months, the maximum length allowable.
Today, a week later, I called the officer processing my paperwork. She commended me for being thorough in assembling the packet and told me that she had seen where I had received my temporary residence permit and was still surprised.
If you have a similar situation, I think the following would be worth consideration: 1) Put together as much of your application as you can and put it in the order the item appears on the checklist. 2) BE POLITE EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT. You are at their COMPLETE MERCY. 3) Dress neatly and conservatively. I was in a dress shirt, dress pants, dress shoes and a suit jacket. 4) Talk in a soft tone. Say "Yes, sir" and "No, sir" when responding to their questions.
Remember it is your job to convince them that you are not a risk. The easier you can make that decision the better off you will be.

I use to go to Canada all the time when I was under 21 because Montreal is awesome and drinking age is 18. From 2005-2009 about 4 times a year. Me and a bunch of friends use to drive up and go through the main border in New York state closest to Montreal we all had juvenile records for non sense such as underage drinking, assault, breaking and entering, trespassing and DUI. It never was an issue until around 2009 when we heard a rumor they would not be letting Americans in with a DUI. We decided to go for a trip spring of 2009 and out of 6 of us 3 had a DUI so the 3 decided to stay back for fear of being turned away at the boarder. So 3 of us without a DUI went on a road trip to Canada. When we got to the boarder after a 6 hour drive they took our passports and asked if we have ever been arrested we drove from 4am and arrived at the border just after 10am. One of us were arrested we they were 18 but all charges "were dropped" (possession of marijuana(1 gram) and a fake ID) in NYC. So since all our records should have technically been clean we decided before hand to say "no we have never been arrested" if asked. When we said no they scanned our passports and right away they said "we know you have and you should not have lied your in big trouble drive to that building and pull the car over. We did as they said a Canadian border officer escorted us inside the building(precincts/offices)". They yelled at us for a bit saying we could get in enormous trouble for lying and be put in there holding cell. We begged and pleaded explaining we thought the charges were dropped and we drove 6 hours. Finally they let us go and said they are putting a note in there system if we get in any trouble charges will be much worse because we've been warned(which I believe was just to scare us). What may have helped is we were in a new $40,000 Infiniti and were 3 well spoken 20 year old white kids in college. If we didn't talk our way out of it my friend would have spent at least the night in a holding cell or best case scenario we would have had to turn around and drive 6 hours back home. Im unsure how they could pull up all records that even other states or even towns can't pull up but I'm proof that they can and if you live more then an hour away and have a DUI it isn't worth it to try and drive through the border. How ever I have heard flying isnt a problem DK if thats true BC it doesnt make sense. If anyone has had an experience flying please share. Thank you

It is very likely the border person will ask for your ID. WHen they do they will run your record. If you have DUI they will send you into the office. At that point they are already typing up your refusal to enter papers. From that point on you are flagged. If you try to go back without applying and being approved for rehabilitation they will not let you in. If you make it in and they catch you in the country you can get put in prison for up to a year and then deported. These guys do not mess around. Too bad our US border wasnt this secure between US and Mexico. It's a pain in the ass.

Well, if this is the case. You consult someone better to know about this stuffs. Or must try going there and if you have no problem, you can go on but on the other hand you go home.

A best bet would probably be to apply for a Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) in advance. Even if it isn't processed in time for your trip, at least you can print out your prepared documents to show the Canadian immigration or border officials that you've done all you can to address the issue. There's never a guarantee that you'll be allowed in, but this will likely increase your chances of entering Canada with a DUI.

Ok.....enough of all the flag waiving......
When I was a young lad of 18 I was busted for two.... TWO joints , personal possesion I believe they called it back then. In The last 32 years I have traveled back and forth from Canada to the US many many times, flown and refuelled in the US tio mexico atleast 7 times, and have traveled to the US for training on numerous occasions. Then...out of the blue last christmas, going to Pheonix as we have twice a year for the last 8 years they decide I'm a criminal, with no-good intentions and refuse me entry....LMAO. here in gods green earth is the sense in this? They stated that well, maybe the gaurds never caught it before. BULLSHIT.....has always been available, I had my passport/I.D every time I traveled, and then....boom....no way do we want your kind here. So.......jumped through the hoops of a waiver, which the US used to grant "lifetime" and have since gone to the 1-5yr granting. Guess what.....1 year and you have to start the process atleast 6 months prior to it running out for the tidy sum of 565.00 to the US government. Add extra costs beyond that, Never again will the US hold me hostage for more of my money, I dont give a rats ass if I ever visit again.....just a money grab if you ask me, ......why dont they try and fix there economy properly so that people who WANT to come, spend money and help the economy truly can instead of riding the backs of people that made foolish mistakes so far in the past but STILL pay the price.....over and over and over again.I think its all a load of crap.........wonder if the new legalized pot laws in some of your states will have a bearing on this kind of stupidity......

Has anyone with a past DUI record recently been to Canada? I heard that they easened the rules for those with only one misdemeanor in their criminal background and I will be visiting Canada in August. I do have only one DUI and that is it, but it is relatively a new one and I know it is my bad that it exists; in fact, it was the most stupid thing I have ever done and I admit I should have never done it. So I do respect their laws and I have been to Canada various times before (before I got to have a DUI in my records) and like being there. The problem is I know I am not eligible for a rehabilitation application since the DUI arrest is not old enough. Is there a chance for me to cross the border without them looking at my records or noticing my DUI arrest? I would be more than happy to hear from anyone who has just got into Canada with a prior DUI arrest or has seen someone with such situation let in by the CBSA agents. And would you suggest taking a bus increase my chances to get into the country? Or maybe flying? Train? Thanks a lot and looking forward to hearing from those who have been there.

MISTAKE #1!!! While crossing into Canada by car recently as I've done an estimated 700 plus times before this was the first time I have ever been asked to pull over for secondary inspection. Once inside I was asked to fill out a "permission to enter Canada" form. At the bottom of the form was a space for "have you ever been arrested?". I obviously remembered getting a dui over thirty years ago but it was dismissed completely and was told by the judge that the record was sealed. Knowing a prior DUI can deny you entry I answered no. They then escorted me into an interrogation room and asked me to sit down as they had some questions for me. The fellow asked me why I lied on the form about being arrested not once but twice! I explained the first arrest stating the judge had told me it was sealed and would not show on my records. WRONG!!!
MISTAKE #2!!! I asked what the second arrest was about and he said it's for a failure to make a court appearance. Over twenty years ago I failed to appear in court for a speeding ticket and a warrant was issued. I took care of it and the charges were dismissed. I honestly had forgotten about the bench warrant ordeal.
The agent proceeded to tell me that since I made a false statement I could be arrested immediately and face jail time and up to $2,000.00 dollars in fines. He said he was going to be nice and let me return to the states because it's too much of a waste of Canadian taxpayers money to arrest me (how thoughtful). I had to sign a permission to leave Canada form and was sent back to the US. Before I left the agent told me if I tried to re-enter Canada without a statement declaring the charge was dismissed I would be arrested immediately.
I now have my attorney obtaining a letter from a judge stating that the case was dismissed and no charges are pending. Once I obtain the document I'll try and re-enter Canada and see what happens. Long story short- be honest, polite and remember every encounter you have ever had with the police! In my own defense I was never convicted of any offence and felt since I was never convicted I could answer that I was never arrested. WRONG!!! Think handcuffs when you are filling out the form or being asked. If you've ever sat in the back of a police car with handcuffs, you have been arrested whether you are convicted or not.
The entire incident was very embarassing and the week long trip was over in ten minutes. It's a shame they don't show some leinency for incindents that are twenty or thirty plus years old. For a country that does a lot of tourism business they've lost mine for now.
As to the comments people have been making bashing border crossing agents.. Remember this, not many people like cops, lawyers and proctologists but hey....somebody's got to do it!

I have a similar situation. DWAI from 2003 and have a trip planned to Vancouver to visit my boyfriend and meet the parents... I will obviously be horrified if I am denied entry. I have done tons of research and the best option for me seems to be filing for a TRP on the spot. When I spoke with an attorney in Montreal she said I had pretty good chances since it is my one and only mark on my record. I plan on getting as much paperwork together as possible, along with letters of recommendation and showing reason for needing to be in Vancouver... I'm also looking at UBC. I am more than terrified that I will get turned away and would appreciate any imput or tips anyone has. I have neer been in any other trouble and consider myself a honest and responsible citizen... Except for the obvious time in 2003!
Once again, I appreciate any advice out there! If nothing else, it will calm my nerves!

While your entry into Canada is ultimately at the sole discretion of the border agent, it is always best to be honest. Since 9/11 and especially since 2009 when it became mandatory to present a Passport to enter Canada, the US and Canada have been sharing more information than ever. In other words, border agents are a lot more likely to know the details of your criminal history. If you do have a criminal history, try informing yourself in advance of what steps can be taken (filling out a TRP application, criminal rehabilitation, letter of opinion) to best ensure your entry into Canada.

Here's a question for you. A friend of mine has a felony record. He's a dual national between the US and Ireland and resides in the US. Could he enter Canada with his Irish passport and not have it trigger any red flags? He has no record in Europe at all.

Hi Dryan,
I have a similar situation, am heading to Canada at the end of the month. My DWI was around the same time as yours, almost 10 years ago. How did it go? Did you get through the border??? Any advice is welcomed.
December 2012
I Have driven the Alcan 10+ times. When I started I was driving a VW van. Lol I would bring a book because it would be over 2 hours min for them to search my van. Each time they would trash it too no respect at all. I've never been arrested no record nothing. Over the years I've gotten a nice new car and a little older. Now it's a different story they couldn't be nicer. I always laugh because if I was smuggling drugs don't you think I'd be driving a nicer car?

Well think I have a one to top all.
I am an airline pilot.
35 years ago i got popped for simple possession of marijuana while 23 years old in the usa.
Nothing here, was in the military at the time and they even ignored it, said one chance no more.
Held high security clearances never smoked it again.
Tonight i entered Canada as crew,flying civilian cargo.
Customs agent questioned me on this from 35 years ago.
Said I needed to produce papers next time saying this is off my record, which no one here in usa cares about useless things such as this 35 years ago.
Did not plan on staying in Canada, just drop cargo and leave.
Immigration Woman made me feel like a criminal, don't ever want to return there.
There is something seriously wrong with this picture!
Everything I have read says that over 10 years for simple things such as this should be not even looked at.
35 years is a long time and I even bet they smoked some dope back then.
October 3
Sorry to hear about your troubles standback, but your situation is not unique. CBSA on the Canadian side and CBP on the US side can both be vindictive organizations and there are LOTS of stories similar to yours going in BOTH directions.
At least your situation is easily rectified, simply apply for criminal rehabilitation and it will be rubber stamped and you'll never have to worry about problems at the border again.
October 4
hi...Can you enter Canada from the US if you have a DUI? Well, this is just all extraordinarily confusing. I'm a guest on this site, and I appreciate all the comments and information here. I'm also a former attorney, and I've spent a couple of days doing research on the dui/minor conviction barring entry to Canada issue. For those folks with recent convictions

Additional Human Capital Flexibilities Are Needed
GAO-03-1024T: Published: Jul 16, 2003. Publicly Released: Jul 16, 2003.

(202) 512-4800
The Subcommittee on Civil Service and Agency Organization, House Committee on Government Reform seeks GAO's views on its latest human capital proposal that is slated to be introduced as a bill entitled the GAO Human Capital Reform Act of 2003.
As an arm of the legislative branch, GAO exists to support the Congress in meeting its constitutional responsibilities and to help improve the performance and ensure the accountability of the federal government for the American people. Unlike many executive branch agencies, which have either recently received or are just requesting new broad-based human capital tools and flexibilities, GAO has had certain human capital tools and flexibilities for over two decades. GAO's latest proposal combines diverse initiatives that, collectively, should further GAO's ability to enhance its performance, assure its accountability, and help ensure that it can attract, retain, motivate, and reward a top-quality and high-performing workforce currently and in future years. Specifically, GAO is requesting that the Congress (1) make permanent GAO's 3-year authority to offer early outs and buyouts, (2) allow GAO to set its own annual pay adjustment system separate from the executive branch, (3) permit GAO to set the pay of an employee demoted as a result of workforce restructuring or reclassification to keep his/her basic pay but to set future increases consistent with the new position's pay parameters, (4) provide authority to reimburse employees for some relocation expenses when that transfer has some benefit to GAO but does not meet the legal requirements for reimbursement, (5) provide authority to place upper-level hires with fewer than 3 years of federal experience in the 6-hour leave category, (6) authorize an executive exchange program with the private sector, and (7) change GAO's legal name from the "General Accounting Office" to the "Government Accountability Office." GAO has used the narrowly tailored flexibilities granted by the Congress previously in Public Law 106-303, the GAO Personnel Flexibilities Act, responsibly, prudently, and strategically. GAO believes that it is vitally important to its future to continue modernizing and updating its human capital policies and system in light of the changing environment and anticipated challenges ahead. GAO's proposal represents a logical incremental advancement in modernizing GAO's human capital policies. Based on employee feedback, there is little or no concern relating to most of the proposal's provisions. Although some elements of GAO's initial straw proposal were controversial (e.g., GAO's pay adjustment provision), the Comptroller General has made a number of changes, clarifications, and commitments to address employee concerns. While GAO believes that some employees remain concerned about the pay adjustment provision, GAO also believes that employee concerns have been reduced considerably due to the clarifications, changes, and commitments the Comptroller General has made. Given GAO's human capital infrastructure and unique role in leading by example in major management areas, the rest of the federal government can benefit from GAO's pay system experience.

MySQL Crash Recovery

InnoDB has an oft-unused parameter innodb_concurrency_tickets that seems widely misunderstood.
