By Gerry J. GilmoreAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, March 20, 2006 President Bush today praised NATO for its help in Iraq and Afghanistan and made suggestions for dealing with the humanitarian crisis in Darfur, Sudan.
"NATO is effective, and that's one of the things that's really important for our citizens to understand -- that our relationship with NATO is an important part of helping us to win the war on terror," Bush said in a statement to reporters after meeting with NATO Secretary-General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer at the White House.
Bush lauded NATO's assistance in Afghanistan, where it has deployed 10,000 troops, and in Iraq, where NATO personnel are helping to train Iraqi security forces. Another 6,000 NATO troops, led by Dutch forces, are slated to deploy to Afghanistan this year.
"I want to thank you for your very strong involvement in Afghanistan," Bush told Scheffer, calling NATO's presence in Afghanistan "really important."
Bush saluted NATO for helping to train Iraqi security forces "so they can end up protecting the Iraqi people from those who want to kill innocent life in order to affect the outcome of that democracy."
Scheffer agreed with Bush about the high stakes in Iraq and Afghanistan. "In Afghanistan, the fight against terror is an extremely important element," he said. He also noted that all 26 NATO allies participate in one way or another in the training mission in Iraq.
Bush said he also spoke with the NATO chief about the situation in Dafur, Sudan, where the U.N. estimates that 300,000 people have been killed and 2 million have been left homeless since a bloody civil war began in 2003. The security mission in the western province of Dafur has thus far been handled by the African Union, but it's apparent that more needs to be done.
Bush suggested that the African Union should petition the U.N. to take over security duties in Dafur. If that's done "NATO can move in with United States' help" and then assist peacekeeping and humanitarian aid efforts in Dafur, Bush said.
"We're intent upon providing security for the people there," Bush said, "and intent upon helping work toward a lasting peace agreement."
Again, Scheffer agreed. "I'm quite sure, as I told the president, that when the U.N. comes, the NATO allies will be ready to do more in enabling a United Nations force in Dafur."
America is NATO's most important ally, Scheffer said. Both he and Bush said they look forward to the upcoming annual NATO summit in Riga, Latvia, in November.

In Norwegian this is called "Kjøttkaker i brun saus", this has always been my little sister's favorite dinner. This dish is basically as Norwegian as it could get, especially when served with potatoes and a cabbage-salad. Traditionally it is made by forming minced meat into balls and cooking it in meat broth, but this is obviously not something I would make. It was her idea to make this and I immediately got to thinking around what I could use. She thought of it as she was walking home from school actually. As she was on her way home she walked past a house that was serving dinner, and she smelled the delicious spices she used to love. When she figured out that it was swedish-style meatballs she was somewhat disgusted yet intrigued. She called me up right after that and asked if I try and make this in a healthy and vegan manner, and sure enough I did.
The most important part of the entire recipe is the spices. You need to taste frequently and make sure you add a lot of it, otherwise this will taste very bland! Now I am sorry to say that this recipe is not soy-free. I simply cannot think of another way to make a smooth and creamy gravy without using organic silken tofu.
You can see the updated recipe with new photographs here.
As always I hope you enjoyed this recipe and leave me a comment letting me know if you made it!

Tattoo Hero Promo
One of HUNTER's tunes, "Time", was used for Tattoo Hero's new promo video! Pretty rad stuff, gotta love the guys at TH <3
2014 so far
Man, haven't written here in over a year! I think this is a good time to share how this year's been for me so far.
1. Big changes at work
For about 3 of my 5.5 years so far at Shopify, I was the lead of the Design Guru team at Shopify. Design Gurus are responsible for helping merchants out with theme-related issues. Around March, I decided to step down as team lead, join the Self-Help team to fix up Shopify's Theme Docs.
Shopify's Theme Docs were a mess. Here are some things that were wrong with it:
- Missing information on variables, filters, objects, etc.
- Inconsistent language (ex: using the word "variable" and "tag" interchangeably)
- Could not link to a specific attribute
- Horrible code examples
I could go on and on about what was wrong with the old Theme Docs but I'll stop there. I went knee-deep in the Theme Docs to revamp it, and just shipped it last month. The new Theme Docs can be found at docs.shopify.com/themes. Feel free to shoot me a note if you notice anything odd! I'm also going to be updating the core Liquid Docs in my spare time.
Now that the Theme Docs are done, I've moved on to a new team to work on a new feature. I'm getting my hands dirty with UI design, which is something I've never done. It's a little intimidating being in a team with a bunch of really smart dudes, but I see it as a great learning opportunity. I look forward to learning from the super-talented designers on the team, Nick and Ally.
2. The band
Last September I got together with my buds Kev and Micky to start a blues-rock band called HUNTER. Last week we had our first ever show at The Rainbow and it was awesome! Great venue, great crowd, awesome times.
We've got two more shows lined up in Ottawa, August 14th at Zaphod's and September 26th at Lunenberg Pub & Bar. If you enjoy rock and/or rolling, come on out! We also have some recordings that are currently being mixed/mastered, can't wait for that to be done!
3. Gaming
I picked up a Wii U a few months ago, and it's freaking great. Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze is the best game I've played so far this year. Some of the levels are hard as f*ck but tremendously satisfying when you beat em. There's a level called "Bopopolis" that seriously took me 91 lives to beat. David Wise (the composer of the SNES Donkey Kong Country games) does a killer job with the soundtrack too.
I've been trying to get back into Battlefield 4, but it just doesn't feel as fun anymore. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy playing with buddies, but I don't feel like it's a huge upgrade over Battlefield 3. I bought it on day one because I'm a BF fanboy but I didn't get the same thrill as the first time I played Battlefield 3. The map "Operation Locker" is absolutely the worst map I've ever played in any FPS game. Whenever a server would switch maps and the next map was Operation Locker, I would just turn my computer off and go play with my cat or some shit.
4. Books
I've done a good job at keeping up my reading habit (woo!). Here are some quick reviews of my favourite books so far this year:
Django: The Life and Music of a Gypsy Legend
I picked this book up because I wanted to learn about my favourite jazz musician, Django Reinhardt. He was pretty arrogant and kind of a douche in a lot of people's eyes, but it was cool to see how he revolutionized the jazz scene in Paris. His guitar work is impressive considering he mangled his fretting hand in a caravan fire accident.
Stench of Honolulu
Stench of Honolulu is the funniest book I've read in a while. The book follows the story of a guy adventuring in Hawaii to find a treasure called "The Golden Monkey". It's a very short read, highly recommended if you want a good laugh.
An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth
Chris Hadfield's autobiography. Great book, lots of good life lessons, and I admire how humble he is about his accomplishments. Bonus points for being a Leafs fan too. I would do anything to drink some beers at a Leafs game with Cmdr. Hadfield.
Oh and also, Amazon Kindles are the bomb diggity. I can't stop reading since picking one up. I love that I can read in the dark now without destroying my ocular balls.
All in all it's been a pretty good year, though I haven't travelled all that much yet. I'm going to be going back to Brighton, UK for Reasons To next month, that should be fun! I'd also like to go back to Okinawa, Japan to see my new nephew for the first time.
That's it for now, PEACE
Shopify Theme from Scratch Part 15: Theme Settings 2/2
In the last part of the tutorial series, we're going to wrap up the Theme Settings. We'll finish up the two remaining fieldsets – Home Page Settings and Footer Settings.
Let's giv'er!
Shopify Theme from Scratch Part 14: Theme Settings 1/2
Today we're going to start working on our Theme Settings form. Theme Settings is a page in the admin where storeowners can go in and make various changes to their storefront, such as: colour, font, logo image, etc. Theme designers can choose what is modifiable through the Theme Settings page through the settings.html file.
There are 6 types of theme settings that you can use:
- File upload
- Radio button
- Select dropdown
- Colour picker
- Checkbox
- Textbox/textarea
In Parts 14 and 15 of this tutorials series, we'll set up a simple example for each of them.
Let's gitter done eh!
Omodaka Combines Japanese Folk Music with Chiptune and the Result is Insanely Cool
In this post I wanted to share a cool musician from Japan called Omodaka. Omodaka collaborates with other musicians to combine Japanese folk music with chiptune to create a really unique sound. What strikes me about Omodaka's music is the nostalgic feeling that it evokes. The female vocalist, Akiko Kanazawa, sings in an enka-style voice that reminds me of some of the old Japanese mukashi banashi (folklore) anime that I'd watch as a kid. The 8-bit sound remind me of the absurd amount of Gameboy and NES that I used to play with my brother, and that further adds to the nostalgia.
If you have 15 minutes, pour yourself a glass of your favourite drink and check out the music videos below. Akiko Kanazawa's voice may not be for everyone (I've heard some people say it's too nasally for their tastes), but I encourage you to watch the music videos even just for the visuals. The visual effects and animations in his music videos are as fascinating as the music itself.
Hope you enjoy
Don't Panic
Last week I met a girl with the words "Don't Panic" (as pictured above) tattooed on her wrist. Not only did it remind me of how freaking awesome the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series is, but it was a nice little reminder to not stress out about the setbacks in life.
Theme Settings lulz
I totally forgot that I wrote about theme settings back in 2009, hahaha
If you're impatient and want to move on to making theme settings, you can look at those! However I'm going to write a newer version that uses Shopify 2 and also is more relevant to the Basic Theme.
Shopify Theme from Scratch Part 13: Customer Accounts 2/2
Today we're going to finish the last set of customer account templates. We've got three more templates to go: account.liquid, order.liquid, and addresses.liquid.
Shopify Theme from Scratch Part 12: Customer Accounts 1/2
Today we're going to set up four of the seven customer account templates. You may be thinking "whoa whoa, four templates in one tutorial!? You're crazy!!". Don't sweat! A lot of these templates are really simple and we can re-use a lot of the same CSS classes across templates.
Let's dew this!
Shopify Theme from Scratch Part 11: Customer Accounts – the Setup
The last set of templates we need to work on are the customer accounts templates. The customer accounts templates consist of seven .liquid files that allow returning customers to create an account, view their previous orders, set their default addresses, and more.
Shopify provides default customer account templates, but we're going to rebuild each template from scratch so that they look consistent with the rest of our themes (you'll see later in this Part that the default customer account templates look nothing like our current theme).
But, before we move on to these new templates, we need to take some preliminary steps. Let's gitter done!

I just got back my first 2 rolls of 35mm E-6 from Walmart. On sending them in, I checked the special instructions box on both envelopes and wrote in "E-6 processing. No Prints. No Scans. No CD." The first roll came back mounted in cardboard slides. They look great and no scratches (I have only viewed them holding them up to a light. There may be subtle scratches I can't see)
The second roll was incorrectly processed. My guess is they put it through C-41 without reading the envelope. They are clear with what looks like B&W image on them. The slides are cut 4 slides to a strip. They also included a best attempt black and white print, a "The machine did it" letter, and a disposable camera with Superia 800 in it. I send RVP100 and they compensate with Superia 800. I will be calling to see if they will do any better.
If you go the Walmart route, write E-6 all over the envelope.

Big Russ is one of those straight boys that said he would NEVER get into another guy touching him. Well Big Russ has kept in touch, and turns out that this was his Birthday. He said he had big plans for evening, but could sneak away from his girlfriend for a couple hours in the afternoon. He was worried that she would call right in the middle of things, and as luck would have it...she didn't! This "since I was so good", he might cum to fast again. I had to giggle, and told him that I would take it easy on him and stop if he got to close to the edge. He said he had to save some for his girl later since it was his birthday after all. Did I mention that he was getting this massage because he wanted to be able to take HER out for HIS Birthday? I thought that was priceless!! OK, that made things all the more exciting for me, so I took my time. I had to insure him that I wasn't going to stick anything in his ass, so I left the dildos in the drawer, and I PRETTY much kept my fingers a

MANKATO, Minn. - Todd Hoffner was once a coach of the year, now the Minnesota State University Mankato head football coach is in jail. The 46-year old coach is accused of using a minor in a sexual performance and possessing child pornography.
The Blue Earth County Sheriff's Office did not return repeated phone calls for comment about the investigation, but according to jail records, a sheriff deputy arrested Hoffner Tuesday just before noon and he was booked into the county jail awaiting formal charges.
The news of the arrest comes about a week before the season opener and days before school is scheduled to start.
"It's all around campus," said student Kevin Carroll.
"I really hope it's not true. It's such devastating news when you hear it. And how it affects families and everyone, and students," said Kendra Verhage.
According to his university bio online, Hoffner is married and has three children and was entering his fifth season as the head coach. He was awarded the coach of the year for the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference in 2009.
Among other coaching stops, Hoffner was the head football coach for University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire in the early 2000's.
Mankato school officials say Hoffner has been placed on leave since Friday pending a criminal and campus investigation. A school official who did not want to be named told KARE 11, Hoffner was pulled from practice Friday, a little more than a week before the season is set to begin.
His players met Tuesday evening with the coaching staff for about a half hour, but none of them wanted to talk afterwards. A parent of a football player who did not want to be identified told KARE 11 he and his son had good impressions of Hoffner and there was no indication this was going on.
The school has named assistant coach Aaron Keen as the interim head coach. He told KARE 11 Tuesday afternoon that the news came out of nowhere and the team meeting was a chance for the staff to be there for the players.
"It's kind of disappointing because of what was happening out in Penn State already. And now it's coming home. It's a little bit disconcerting," said Carroll.
First thoughts by students and parents were of the recent Penn State scandal, but campus officials in Mankato tried to move quickly to calm people's fears, saying the university's first priority is students' safety.
"The university is not aware of any allegations affecting university students or program participants," said spokesperson Dan Benson.
He directed all questions concerning the investigation to the Blue Earth County Sheriff's Office, this as students are set to start school in the next few days.
"Hopefully he's innocent and something's wrong here but just pray for the campus," said Carroll.

NEW YORK - Josh Trank will direct one of the planned stand-alone "Star Wars" films.
Lucasfilm announced Wednesday that the 30-year-old filmmaker will helm one of the two announced "Star Wars" spinoffs being made outside of the third trilogy. An earlier announced spinoff is to be led by "Godzilla" director Gareth Edwards.
Trank is the director of 2012's found footage-style science fiction thriller "Chronicle." He currently is working on "The Fantastic Four," the superhero team-up reboot scheduled for release next year.
Lucasfilm gave no details on the subject of the "Star Wars" movie. J.J. Abrams is currently in production on "Star Wars: Episode VII," which will follow "The Return of the Jedi" in chronology.
Abrams on Tuesday tweeted a photo with a note pleading for people not to leak photos from the set of "Episode VII." In recent days, dozens of photos from the set of the film have appeared online.
But his message was also tongue-in-cheek. Though Abrams alluded to "ridiculous claims that the Millennium Falcon is in the movie," his note was wryly placed on the spaceship's familiar "Holochess" board. "Star Wars" fans quickly picked up on the pun.

Space Grant Objectives
History of the National Space Grant ProgramFrom Mission to America, Report of the National Council of Space Grant Directors, The Woods Hole Workshop, August 24-28,1992.)
"In 1958, Congress passed the National Space Act. That act transformed the National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics into the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and firmly committed the United States to the exploration and exploitation of space for future benefit. NASA maintains major research, development, demonstration, and operation programs in aeronautics, manned and unmanned space flight, space commercialization, and advanced technologies. NASA has conducted unmanned missions to all but one of the planets of our solar system. It has established major observatories in space for continued studies of the Earth, our solar system, and the distant universe. NASA vehicles regularly fly people to and from orbit. By the year 2000, Americans will reside permanently in orbit about Earth. Furthermore, the President has committed the nation to establishing a permanent moonbase and eventually sending people to Mars."
"NASA is a small, critically necessary, part of the larger field of American aerospace industries and services, frequently considered the hallmark of U.S. world technological, economic, and scientific leadership. Aerospace industries and services enable rapid travel across the United States and tightly link the nation to the rest of the world. NASA programs serve the national security. NASA's research and development capabilities contribute to the economic health of the nation by sponsoring scientific research and creating new technology. With its experimental missions, with its creative methods of transferring technology to public uses, and with its unique complements of university and industrial affiliates, NASA has long been perceived as a farsighted agent in advancing the education of Americans."
"Congress enacted the National Space Grant College and Fellowship Act on October 30, 1987. The Act is a new commitment by Congress to higher education. Congress expects that the participating universities and NASA will cooperate under this Act to extend the benefits the nation obtains from its broad range of aerospace activities. In analogy to the Land and Sea Grant programs, Congress anticipates that Space Grant universities, their affiliates, and NASA will conceive new ideas, seed future growth, both on and off the Earth, cultivate and nurture opportunities for citizens through technology transfer, then guide them toward new ventures, educating them to function in a society burgeoning with engineering and scientific innovations." . . .
The National Space Grant Program has been modeled after the National Land Grant [the Morrill Act of 1862] and the National Sea Grant university programs [1966)]. "The Space Grant Program concept was introduced by Senator Lloyd Bentsen in 1986 as Senate Bill 2098. In congressional testimony introducing the legislation, Senator Bensten stated, 'Space Grant Program's research and development effort would be directed toward national ends for space technology and commercialization.'" In the actual legislation, Congress found that "research and development of space science, space technology, and space commercialization contributed to the enhancement of commerce." Further, Congress found that "development of space frontiers requires a broad commitment and partnership between Federal government, states, private industry, and universities concerned with utilization of space. The intent of the legislation was to use existing schools and encourage interdisciplinary consortia of universities and industry. Senator Bentsen proposed that grants be 'awarded on a competitive basis to applicants who propose the most cost-effective programs for the development and utilization of space resources.' In his congressional remarks, Senator Bentsen stated that the Space Grant fellowship program would be established for education and training assistance at the undergraduate and graduate levels. In the enacting legislation, Congress found that NASA 'will provide the needs for promotion of activities in the program that will result in greater understanding, assessment, development, and utilization of space.'" (The Woods Hole Report).
"Congress expected to encourage the following activity from its enabling legislation:
Fifty-two Space Grant consortia now work individually toward these purposes in every state, the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Directors of the statewide consortia formed the National Councils of Space Grant Directors to satisfy Congress's mandate for a national network. The Council enables the fifty-two directors to work with NASA in constructing a national network.From: ISSO -- Institute for Space Systems Operations, 1992-1993 Annual Report.

The years have been kind to the Dropkick Murphys. They have made their way from being a blue-collar Boston Irish punk band to being the band with the featured song in the 2006 Academy Award winning film The Departed. They are a band whose albums chart higher with each release (2007's The Meanest of Times debuted in the Billboard Top 20) and they've become poster boys for their hometown, with an internationally-known run of St. Patrick's Day shows every year and an attachment to their hometown sports best knows by their run of anthems for their teams.
It's not simple serendipity that's placed them there, nor is it through the formulaic hit writing that has escalated other bands to the top. It's been by espousing the blue-collar work ethic they personify and by the band's attachment to causes they believe in. The Dropkick Murphys have always been unabashed underdogs with a positive message and something to prove, and the punk world and world in general alike have embraced them for it, and rightly so.
The 6th studio album from the Dropkick Murphys, Going Out In Style finds the band exactly where they should be, on top of their game but unwilling to stagnate. It's a broad evolutionary album for the band - their most ambitious yet - and as result it's an exciting time for music.
At it's heart, one could call Going Out In Style a concept album, but that's not an entirely apt description. It's more and less at the same time - one could just as easily say it's a story, told in the great storytelling tradition of the Irish. The story in this case is the story of Cornelius Larkin.
Murphys bassist Ken Casey explains, "Cornelius has passed on to the other side, and the album becomes a retrospective of his life. He's one of those guys who immigrated to America at 16, got drafted into the Korean War, married young, had lots of kids, worked hard, and lived a full life rife with different characters, ups and downs, and trials and tribulations. Some of the stories are fictional, but most are odes to our grandparents, friends, and loved ones."
The band isn't relying on song alone to tell Larkin's tale. They enlisted the aid of best-selling author Michael Patrick MacDonald (All Souls, Easter Rising to write the obituary for Cornelius Larkin in the album's liner notes, along with the beginnings of a much more in-depth story. MacDonald is also exploring the possibility that the story could evolve into a book in 2011 - possibly making Going Out In Style a soundtrack to a book yet to be written.
It's this classic Irish ability to spin a story that has created many great writers and albums like Going Out In Style. As a good Irish acquaintance of mine once explained, "the Irish are very good at telling stories, because for a long time our stories were all we could afford."
The album opens in classic Murphys style with "Hang 'Em High," a broad unforgettable anthem with a big bagpipe-fueled sound and a fistpumping chorus. From then on the album is an unrelentless good time, laden with chant and anthem. Repeatedly, the band hits you with their trademark rollicking tunes - high-speed affairs like "The Hardest Mile" and "Deeds Not Words" meant to leave you sweaty and happy by songs' end.
The album's title track is even purer to the feeling that Dropkick Murphys have bolstered over the years. It's working-class Boston Irish punk rock with bagpipes and guitars, and it's chanted humorous conversational lyrics, this time complete with guest vocals from NOFX's Fat Mike, The Living End's Chris Cheney and actor/comedian Lenny Clarke.
It's not the only collaboration on the album; the band tops it off with their version of "Peg 'O My Heart," this time with the addition of Bruce Springsteen on guest vocals. Springsteen is a good choice for a guest this time around - when you're putting together a record that reads like a story, why not work with an American singer who's proven he's one of the best at it?
"Memorial Day" is another uplifting powerful song, a nod to the tireless work ethic that has helped build this country and this band. It's a tribute to anyone who struggled for something better for the simple sake of dreaming about having more.
"Sunday Hardcore Matinee" is a departure from the Larkin storyline, but its enthusiasm and positivity rings true to the overall feeling. It's a tribute to the band's own adolescence and upbringing that name drops old school bands and the pits of the old hardcore matinees, as well as the band's desire to hold on to the feelings and friendships forged back then.
The band breaks away"Broken Hymns," "Cruel" and "1953" explore more traditional Irish sounds. They are melancholy and sweet, with an inspiring and uplifting vibe - none more so than "1953," a beautiful tune about Larkin's return from Korea to fall in love. And they grab hold of the Irish standards as well, with their take on the "Irish Rover" - and a fun take it is.
Of course, no Murphys album would be complete without their nod of support to organized labor. This time around, it's "Take 'Em Down," that becomes Going Out In Style's "Boys On The Docks," complete with a chorus that hammers home the band's beliefs in the unions that their families helped create.
By album's end Going Out In Style is complex and diverse, showcasing the evolution of the band but at no point leaving you feeling like they've sacrificed any of their energy, passion or sheer punk passion due to age, popularity or for any reason at all.
It's evolutionary and revolutionary for the band. It's an album created to make you feel at home whether you're in the pit or back by the bar, singing along with a mug in one hand and your arm draped over the shoulder of your best friend. It's the positive vibe that the Murphys have helped create and expose the world to over the years, and it's their biggest and best yet, without ever denying or forgetting their roots.
Release Date: March 1, 2011 (Review from Punk Music)

The revisions let you track differences between multiple versions of a post.
Variable rate mortgage is another term for adjustable-rate loan. Tu casa express profeco is a kind of loan where the early repayments are low. After some time though, the interest rates of variable rate mortgage alters on a regular basis. These variations on variable rate mortgages are influenced by some things, such as changes in investor markets.
For its low first repayment, some people want to obtain a variable rate mortgage. Financial statements suggest that the risks you anticipate in acquiring a variable rate mortgage are considerable nevertheless the gains are much more so. It is because tu casa express profeco can turn out to be cheaper than fixed rate mortgages eventually.
Many mortgage companies offer variable rate mortgages among their services. Several of these loan providers are listed below, with a brief outline on their tu casa express profeco service.
Variable Rate Mortgage by ING Direct Mortgages
The ING Direct line of variable rate mortgages offers one of the cheapest rates in the market nowadays. With a tu casa express profeco rate of interest of lower than 0.60% for a complete five-year duration, ING Direct variable rate mortgages are some of the top-sellers.
For an extra incentive, consumers that buy their variable rate mortgages from ING Direct have the option to make their tu casa express profeco into a fixed rate mortgage of three years or so. This change from a variable rate mortgage to fixed rate is possible whenever without having charges.
Every three months, ING Direct variable rate mortgage rate of interest will be modified to reflect their prime rate.
Variable Rate Mortgage by CanEquity Mortgage Canada
The variable rate mortgage of CanEquity is based on a five year duration. Although, in this tu casa express profeco, only the first three years are closed, leaving years 4 and 5 open. This indicates that the 2 remainder years leave you totally free from any variable rate mortgage pre-payment fee.
CanEquity's starting mortgage rate for their variable rate mortgage is 1.74%. Following this starting rate, payments for your variable rate mortgage will depend on CanEquity's Prime rate of less than 0.40%.
Variable Rate Mortgage by National Mortgage
National Mortgage includes 3 variable rate mortgage plans on its product lists. All three variable rate mortgages have initial installment rates according to existing Prime rate of 4.00%. These tu casa express profeco plans have changing terms from 3 months, 6 months, to 5 years.
The five-year variable rate mortgage has an starting installment rate of 4.25% but for the period of five years, the rate will be less 0.75%. It's the same for the 6-month variable rate mortgage. Prime (4.25%) is less 1.40% for 6 months and then prime less 0.40% for the remainder of the period. The 3-month tu casa express profeco at the same time has prime minus 2.25% for 3 months and then Canadian Bank Prime minus 0.375% with 1% cash back and airmiles.
Variable Rate Mortgage by Scotiabank
The Scotia Ultimate Variable Rate Mortgage offers their consumers a Cap rate assurance. Consumers are presented with the option of getting the variable rate mortgage for a rate discount of 0.50% off Scotia's Prime rate for the entire three-year period. They may also opt to pay beforehand cash return of 1.50% of the tu casa express profeco loan sum for the entire three-year term.
I am not sure if I have come across a minor bug in the OpenMx RAM specification. For some reason I cannot free up an element of the S matrix when fitting a twin sub-model. I have tried several different syntax variations (i.e., using the label name and specifically freeing the S parameter element) to free up the parameter, but for some reason the specified covariance parameter element is not being estimated and included in the OpenMx output summary. The odd thing about this is that when checking the S matrix specification, the parameter is set to TRUE. Is this a known bug?
This is not the appropriate spot for this question. Please make a forum post about it instead. I will be deleting this comment soon.
To address your question, that is definitely not the desired behavior. Could you provide a minimal code example that produces the bug? Or some part of the script that does this? It's difficult to track down where the problem is without some example to work with.
Another thing to check for is re-setting a parameter. If you set a parameter to free=TRUE in line 15 of your script and set it to free=FALSE in line 33, then it will silently be free=FALSE even though you set it to free=TRUE initially.

Bethlehem, Pa., August 21, 2012 –Moravian College will welcome the incoming class of 2016 on Orientation Weekend (August 24-26) that marks the official introduction to the campus community and the transition into the academic environment. With the orientation of the Class of 2016, comes two traditions, the Crossing Ceremony and HOUNDfest, both popular among previous incoming classes.
Other highlights of the weekend include the opening convocation, orientation programs, the traditional class walk, and the campus service learning project. As part of their Introduction to College Life program, the students will participate in a group discussion of the book, Living Downstream: A Scientist's Personal Investigation of Cancer and the Environment ecologist and cancer survivor Sandra Steingraber, Ph.D. Classes for all students begin on Monday, August 27.
First year students will begin moving in the morning of Friday, August 24 and representatives from the Bursar's Office, the Financial Aid Office, Counseling Center, and the Health Center will be present to provide information and answer questions. An Opening Convocation ceremony will take place in Central Moravian Church to signify the ceremonial beginning for new students and a formal "farewell" for parents. Activities are planned until the evening program of entertainment and socialization.
On Saturday, August 25 at 11 a.m., students will be led by President Dr. Christopher M. Thomforde and senior administrators to walk the "Moravian Mile." The traditional walk starts at the 1742 oval located at the corner of Locust and Monocacy Streets and follows the Moravian Mile down Main Street to Moravian's Priscilla Payne Hurd Campus on Church Street. A luncheon on the Hurd Campus will follow the walk.
After lunch, students will participate in another tradition at Moravian. Their campus service project is to make the 6,000 candles in Johnston Hall from wax that will be used by the College during the Christmas Vespers Services in Central Moravian Church.
On Sunday morning, activities include an inter-denominational service, and group discussions of the assigned reading of Living Downstream: A Scientist's Personal Investigation of Cancer and the Environment . At 1:30 p.m., a student event will feature a talk and discussion by Sandra Steingraber about her book. The talk by Steingraber will kick-off a year of thematic programming at Moravian focusing on sustainability.
In her early twenties, Steingraber was afflicted with cancer, a disease that has afflicted other members of her adoptive family. Writing from the twin perspectives of a survivor and a concerned scientist, she traces the high incidence of cancer and the terrifying concentrations of environmental toxins in her native rural Illinois. She goes on to show similar correlation in other communities, such as Boston and Long Island, and throughout the United States, where cancer rates have risen alarmingly since mid-century. Living Downstream makes the intimate connection between the health of individuals and the integrity of our air, land, and water.
At 4:45 p.m., President Thomforde and other senior administrators will lead the Class of 2016 from the admission office lawn, across the street, through the College gates to Comenius Hall. This crossing ceremony symbolically marks the formal arrival and initiation as members of the Moravian College community. Houndfest '12, a celebration of food and music follows the ceremony. For a complete schedule click on: new student orientation. Alumni of Moravian College are invited to attend HOUNDfest 2012 for details visit: Freshmen Orientation 2012.
Moravian College is a private, coeducational, selective liberal arts college located in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Tracing its founding to 1742, it is recognized as America's sixth-oldest college. Moravian partners with students to build a strong foundation for their future. Visit the College's Web site at www.moravian.edu.

Updated: 06/05/2013 6:35 PM KSTP.com
The season that almost wasn't has turned out better than anyone dared expect.
The NHL still ranks fourth among North America's five major professional sports leagues, but don't look now _ hockey is gaining ground again.
TV ratings for the playoffs are through the roof, relatively speaking, thanks to scintillating games and a final four _ Chicago, Los Angeles, Boston and Pittsburgh _ that any league would love to have.
Last weekend's Bruins-Penguins matchup handily beat baseball's time-tested game of the week, Red Sox-Yankees, in a head-to-head matchup _ nearly 2-to-1 in the desirable 18-49 age demographic, and that was after a lockout-shortened NHL regular season that already saw ratings climb by 18 percent. Telecasts in a few towns are setting records and even approaching NFL levels.
What were the odds of that happening last winter, when the league's owners and players squared off across a bargaining table, hell-bent on driving off fans and sacrificing the schedule to labor strife for the second time in less than 10 years _ and the third during commissioner Gary Bettman's 20 years in charge?
Just as improbable, perhaps, is how they got from there to here.
"After the 2004-05 lockout, hockey changed in lots of important ways," Sam Flood, executive producer for NBC Sports and the man most responsible for the improved TV product, said Tuesday. "It got faster. There was less clutching and grabbing. The stars became stars again. Our job was figuring out how to showcase those skills, to make them accessible to even the most casual fan."
Fifteen years ago, Bill Clinton became the first sitting U.S. president to make it down to the rink by taking in a playoff game between the Buffalo Sabres and his hometown Washington Capitals. During a quick interview, Clinton said he was struck by how much faster, rougher and dramatic the game seemed sitting in the stands than looking in on TV.
"I explained that's no surprise," NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said then, "since time after time, our research tells us we've got the best in-person experience in sports."
For the longest time, that was hockey's greatest strength and its greatest weakness. The NHL played its games in arenas filled to more than 90 percent of capacity, on average, but almost nobody watched it on TV.
There was a perception that despite its national footprint, hockey was a regional game; strong where it's played and barely a blip on the radar screen everywhere else. Even more troubling was research suggesting that among the NHL's target audience of 70 million fans in the United States and Canada, more than two-thirds quit watching once their favorite team was eliminated.
Compounding the problem was Bettman's sometimes-haphazard search for a TV partner. ESPN and FOX both took turns, without much success, and hockey appeared doomed to remain a niche sport. Things were so bad when the league threw in with NBC in 2004 that it received no money up-front and instead agreed to only a revenue-sharing deal.
In hindsight that may turn out to be the smartest deal Bettman made. Last year, the NHL renewed with NBC through 2021, this time for a reported $2 billion in rights fees. Based on early returns, both sides have plenty to like about the deal.
NBC needed live sports programming and it's given the NHL top-shelf treatment in return, borrowing ideas from other sports and coming up with a few innovations of its own.
This year's best launch was a weekly Wednesday night regular-season game between teams _ as Flood put it _ "that really hated each other."
For the second year in a row, every playoff game is available nationally _ what he calls the "March Madness effect" _ building momentum and retaining more of the "avid" NHL fans that used to depart once their teams did.
Wider screens, high-definition broadcasts, improved audio and slow-motion replays seem tailor-made for hockey, if only because they've made the game easier to follow, even for the most casual fans.
For all that, the innovation Flood considers his best is the in-game segment called "Inside the Glass," which features analyst Pierre McGuire in a section between the benches, updating viewers in real time with information he's picked up from that unique vantage point.
"It changed the way the game was perceived at home, offering things we'd never get from an announcer two decks above the ice," Flood said. "Coaches barking orders at players, players challenging each other _ that kind of access is critical.
"It's one more piece of the puzzle, like what NASCAR was doing with reporters in the pit, giving fans access to a place they weren't previously allowed. The feedback's been great," Flood chuckled. "People tell us it's like being part of a secret club."
It's been one step forward, two steps back for much of Bettman's reign.
The Winter Classic outdoor games have been a rousing success and the U.S.-Canada rivalry at the Vancouver Olympics in 2010 pulled in fans the sport didn't know it had. On the flip side, the labor stoppages, ambitious expansion into non-traditional hockey towns and shortage of Canadian teams has handicapped growth.
But for the first time in a while, the sport looks up and sees nothing but clear ice ahead.
"We can't control who reaches the finals," said Flood, the son of a hockey coach and a fair college player himself, "but nobody's complaining about the way this one worked out."

WV "could play a significant role" in helping Hillary Clinton "overcome" Barack Obama. Regardless of what happens in NC and IN, WV "should remain a contentious one." Kanawha Co. Commission pres. Kent Carper: "She does really well with traditional Democratic voters. West Virginia has a lot of those voters, and the state has traditionally supported her husband, President Clinton."
Carper believes Clinton resonates more with WVans "with her stances on religion, gun rights and labor unions." Wesleyan College prof. Robert Rupp: "Obama doesn't need to win West Virginia. He just has to do well and hold her to less than a double-digit margin" (Stump, Charleston Daily Mail, 4/14).

Founders of Doctors Hospital, Inc. Provides Patient Simulators for Health Sciences Students
Human patient simulators, or teaching mannequins, are important learning tools for health sciences students at Rogers State University.
Now more than ever, the simulators, often referred to as "hospital dummies," play a key role in helping RSU nursing and emergency medical services (EMS) students learn basic care and life support skills, without the fear of injuring a live patient.
"Gaining access to hospitals and clinics to provide our students with practical experience is becoming more challenging," said Dr. Nancy Diede, Head of the RSU Department of Health Sciences. "Hospital personnel are busier, patient acuity has increased, the length of time patients' are hospitalized has decreased.
"Additionally, some facilities have closed units due to the recent economic crises which have resulted in a significant reduction in the number of elective procedures and surgeries being performed. This has led many EMS and nursing education programs to incorporate patient simulation as one approach to provide students with 'near realistic' learning situations," she said.
Recently, the Founders of Doctors Hospital, Inc. provided funding for two human patient simulators, or "dummies," one for nursing students and one for EMS students.
"They have proven extremely successful in bridging the gap between the classroom and clinical rotations," Diede said.
The mannequins will help RSU provide valuable and realistic clinical experiences to nursing and EMS students in campus labs.
Several types of mannequins are available, and these mannequins are "the best," according to Diede.
"A basic mannequin used for practicing cardiopulmonary resuscitation is considered a 'low-fidelity' simulator. A mannequin that has breath and heart sounds, but no other movement, is classified in the 'moderate-fidelity' range.
"However, mannequins that have both breath and heart sounds, eyelids that open and close spontaneously, eyes with pupils that constrict and dilate, palpable bilateral pulses, normal and abnormal bowel sounds, extremities with a full range of motion, and the capability of speech, are referred to as 'high-fidelity' mannequins. These are the type of mannequins that the Founders of Doctors Hospital has provided for our students," she said. "We are so grateful to them for providing our students with this opportunity."
Both new models are realistic in size, at approximately six feet and two inches tall and 100 pounds. Each comes with extensive features, including interchangeable male and female genitalia and capabilities designed specifically for nurses and paramedics.
Since 1990, the Founders of Doctors Hospital Inc. has provided a significant amount of funding for RSU to purchase computers and laboratory equipment for its health sciences programs, as well as enhancing faculty development and research.
As a result, RSU has contributed 548 registered nurses and 120 paramedics to the workforce in the last 10 years, significantly contributing to the health and quality of life of Oklahomans, Diede said.

Rated 4.4 out of 5�by 110 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by Stephanie17 Great durable pants I bought these pants for my son last year. He was a bigger kid at 9 yrs old and weighed about 110 lbs. I had a terrible time trying to find football pants that fit, mediums were too small larges too big in most pants but the under armour Larges fit amazing. They stayed up at the waist and his pads stayed in place for hitting drills and practice. These pants washed well and withstood 8 weeks of football practice 5 days a week plus games and he can still wear them this season. They are getting small though so I promptly went and bought him the youth Xl and they fit great this year (4'10" 119lbs) I highly recommend these pants for all reasons but mostly because they are a great fit and durable. August 18, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Angelica 6 yr old 56lbs size sm. These are an excellent fit for my son who is a husky size I usually have a hard time finding hissizein bottoms. I really like the integrated paddles work only part! He enjoys wearing them. June 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by bob smacky awesome fit makes me play better Feels great pants feel good on my butt, they make it look good to August 31, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by G Can't go wrong Pants have worked out great. The black washes up really well. Coming out of the drier the knee pads get pushed up into the thigh pad pockets, but with a little work you can slide them back into position. Best pants by far that I have seen of all the different ones we have come across on our football league and we have seen quite a few. Look, fit, feel, and durability are all top notch. Will buy these again once the boys out grow these pair as I am sure they will outgrow them before they would out wear them. August 31, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by momof active kids football pants These have held up very well in football October 16, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by Football mom Great pants I've bought several pairs of these pants over the years for my sons. They look great, perform wonderful, and will last for several season. I'd recommend them to anyone. September 9, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by Rileysmama06 Awesome Football Pants Very good fit for my little man. Nice and snug for my slender football player but enough stretch to accommodate a little bit larger player. Nice fitting seen in pads. Very comfortable! September 8, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5�by gavin12 The knee pads move up to were the thigh pads are. They need to have there own section in the football pants. September 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by momof6 Great Football Pants They may be a little more expensive than other pants, but they are worth it. Very comfortable. The one thing that I would change is to make the bottom pad, which covers the knee to be a tad more contoured. My twins are 8 and the product runs true to size - a youth medium, fit great. They wash great and I air dry. August 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Mulveyphoto Solid pants Great pants hold up extremely well. Younger son is using older brothers as they will have no problem making a second season of play and washing.Boys liked the way the pads were integrated and they do not have the seams showing like Nike does. Sometimes you get what you pay for. They are indeed a little more but they are solid. August 21, 2013

CEBU CITY, Philippines - The 1,500 Cebu prison inmates who danced their way to global fame when their music video ?Thriller? popped up on the website YouTube have landed in Time Magazine?s list of Top Ten most watchable Internet videos of 2007.
?It?s the greatest and sweetest irony,? said an overjoyed Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia, who first learned about the list when she was called for comment last night.
Recalling a 1984 prison riot, she said the provincial jail inmates used to be regarded as ?trash and weeds.?
?The group that gave me the biggest crisis in the early part of my administration has become the greatest source of pride and honor not only for Cebu but for the entire country,? she said.
Time magazine placed ?Prison Inmates ?Thriller? Video? no. 5 in a list that includes amateur videos of a teenage fan?s defense of Britney Spears and an attack ad against Hillary Clinton. (See full list on page 35.)
The chosen 10 were considered the most popular ?viral videos? of the year which people ?could not stop watching? in 2007.
Time magazine ran 50 different Top 10 lists covering news, photos, quotes, cartoons and other categories.
Under the category of ?pop culture,? which includes lists for top fashion trends and buzzwords, the international magazine described the Cebu video this way:
?Orange-jumpsuited accused murderers, rapists and drug dealers paid homage to Michael Jackson?s Thriller in a dance performance filmed at the Cebu Detention and Rehabilitation Center in the Philippines. Questions arose about whether the 1,500 Filipino jailhouse rockers were enjoying some well-choreographed creative expression or suffering abuse at the hands of prison officials with MTV aspirations. The only thing certain is that Vincent Price was right when he said, ?No mere mortal can resist the evil of the Thriller?: The video has been downloaded more than 9 million times.?
?What wonderful news for Cebu and the Philippines,? the governor said last night.
Her brother Byron, Capitol consultant on security, first uploaded the video in YouTube on July 18. Two days later it had some 266,000 views. A week later, it had over a million hits.
?This showed that indeed we can turn around a bad situation into something we can actually be proud of. These inmates are not well known personalities in the field of politics or in showbiz,? the governor said.
The ?Thriller? video, she said earlier, showed the inmates in a ?routine practice? for a number they were presenting on Aug. 1, the founding anniversary of Cebu province.
She said dancing has been part of the prisoners? daily exercise under the jail?s rehabilitation program which began in April 2006.
Before that the inmates were a major headache for the Capitol chief executive.
On Dec. 27, 2004, inmates staged a riot at the old CPDRC building along MJ Cuenco to protest their transfer to a new jail in a hilly part of barangay Kalunasan.
The governor vowed it would never happen again. Garcia recalled having to talk to inmates while they lay on the ground in chains.
?I told them nga sukad karon dili na ni ninyo mahimo nako. Dinhi inyong masabtan unsay buot ipasabot og unsay disciplina og mosunod mo sa lagda, systema og pamaagi sa bag-ong CPDRC (starting now, they can?t have their way with me. They would understand the meaning of discipline and follow rules and the system of the new CPDRC),? she said.
Under Byron?s watch, the Capitol experimented with different approaches to penology. This included introducing dancing as part of the rehabilitation program.
?It was a complete turnaround of the biggest crisis we had,? Governor Garcia said.
In a separate interview, Byron said ever since the inmates? dance routines got the attention of the international press, ?they are still in a state of euphoria.?
?They have high morale and have regained their self-esteem.?
Other jails in Quezon province and Muntinlupa have taken the cue and included dancing in their own rehabilitation programs, he pointed out.
This shows ?dancing is not an unusual and a cruel punishment,? said Byron.
?The fact that some are starting to copy our system only goes to show that it is good.?
?We have showed how we turned these negative inmates into positive individuals through our concept of a revolutionized penology. But there are people who would not want to believe that something like this can happen especially in a third world country,? he said.
Last Dec. 14, Governor Garcia was in Manila to present the CPDRC story of jail reforms to a panel of contest judges of the Galing Pook Award.
She described a jail ?? where a culture of discipline has evolved and prevailed. And now our new CPDRC is one of the 19 nominees all of the country for the Gawad Galing Pook Award,? she said.
The award highlights excellent projects and programs that illustrate good governance. Gawad Galing Pook Foundation is part of a global network of institutions that tries to recognize local governments who have shown excellent, creative and productive ways to govern their people
Cebu City is one of the 19 nominees. The entry is the city's barangay justice system. /With Inquirer
