Honeymoon Over For Seller's Market When New Mortgage Rules Hit

After years of seemingly ever-rising home prices and seemingly ever-declining borrowing costs, many Canadians have long been concerned about the rising barriers to entry in the housing market and the amount of growing household debt required to own a home, particularly in some of our biggest cities such as Toronto and Vancouver.
On Monday, Federal Finance Minister Bill Morneau recognized the lack of affordability in these particular housing markets and acknowledged that it has gotten to a point where the government has to step in. He announced several new rules and regulations aimed at ensuring that Canadian borrowers only take on mortgages they can afford, including enforcing that all insured borrowers qualify for loans based on the five-year posted mortgage rate. They will take effect October 17.
Consumers with locked-in rates for five years or more have previously been able to use the rate on their contract to qualify for more loans. The rules also apply to low-ratio loans (those with a down payment of more than 20 per cent), if those loans are put in a government-backed program.
Morneau also closed the tax loophole that previously allowed non-Canadians to buy and sell property and later claim a tax exemption on the sale.

The announcement has left home buyers, home sellers, real estate agents and homeowners wondering how they will be impacted. So, what does this mean for Canadians?
Well, ultimately, the seller's market -- mainly in big cities such as Toronto and Vancouver -- is going to become a buyer's market, but with a lot of restrictions.
So, if you are looking to buy or sell a home in the near future, or even if you plan on refinancing your mortgage soon, you need to be aware of the latest changes that will affect you.
For those who are currently in the process of purchasing -- do it right now! Make the commitment as soon as possible based on the amount and rate you are pre-approved for and the conditions you have agreed upon. Otherwise, you may be subject to the changes in rules and rates that are currently being instituted effective Oct. 14, 2016.
As for those that have already been pre-approved but have yet to take the next steps, your best bet is to speak to a mortgage broker or a mortgage professional you trust.
We may not see these effects right away -- most likely not until the spring market -- but we will see them.
If you were pre-approved prior to the rule change, this does NOT mean you will still be approved for the same amount and/or rate, especially if your lender based their pre-approval on a fixed rate, as that rate will no longer be available. If you were pre-approved for a new construction home and the transaction does not close until 2017, you will need to be pre-approved again.
For example, if a potential homebuyer was pre-approved for a mortgage at a fixed rate somewhere around 2.49 per cent, that rate will now be closer to 4.64 per cent for qualification purposes. Put differently, if a potential homebuyer with a combined family income of approximately $125,000 was told they could afford something in the $630,000 range, they may now be restricted to the $500,000 range, based on the new rules.
This may seem unfair to those who have already been pre-approved for a large mortgage, and in some ways it is. However, it's important to keep the bigger picture in mind, which is that this new rule may prevent Canadians from taking on mortgages they cannot afford.
If new homebuyers can no longer afford to splurge on pricey homes and non-Canadians can no longer take advantage of the previous tax loop hole, who will purchase these homes?
The answer is that, over time, there simply will no longer be a market for over-priced homes. The long-running seller's market will slowly become a buyer's market due to lack of affordability, which in turn could result in decreased housing prices -- as people will no longer be able to afford homes in what were previously known as "hot markets."
We may not see these effects right away -- most likely not until the spring market -- but we will see them.
Those who own homes in these markets may also be affected, especially if they are refinancing or selling, as they may lose equity in their home. Since their home's value is based on the affordability of the buyers, less affordability may result in a decrease in their home's value/equity. This will not only affect homeowners, but also lenders. High interest rates will come into play across the board and will affect everyone involved in the mortgage process.
So, will these rule changes designed to slow the housing market and make it more stable ultimately have the intended effect? Could this really help solve housing affordability?
Well, over time, yes, it could solve the ongoing issue of housing affordability in Canada. The new rules will raise mortgage costs and decrease home sales. However, keep in mind that these rules and regulations are aimed at cooling hot markets, such as Vancouver and Toronto. Less impacted will be the other cities and regions across the country, where demand and supply have been much closer together.
The bottom line is that this is a start. It will lead to lower prices over time in previously overpriced markets, which could help make housing more affordable overall in Canada. However, homebuyers and sellers will be subject to many more regulations.
Ultimately, your best bet as a homebuyer, seller or owner is to make sure you are informed on all the changes in rules and regulations before trying to purchase, sell or refinance your home. We've been down this road before -- we just need to adjust.

Also on HuffPost:
Finance Minister Bill Morneau's new mortgage rules, enacted in October, 2016, could "reduce the risk of a knock-on to the Canadian economy" from any possible corrections in Toronto or Vancouver, BMO economist Sal Guatieri told The Financial Post. The Bank of Canada has long warned that interest rates could go up again — and Canadians should ensure they can still afford to pay. Now they have to prove it to lenders.
First-time homebuyers tend to be the "primary users of mortgage insurance," according to Royal Bank of Canada. So the "stress test" could make it difficult for them to borrow as much as they'd like to. In a way that's a good thing. It means they can only borrow what they can afford. But it also means they won't have as much purchasing power in a hot market. That said, the new rules are probably protecting them from a debt burden they can't handle.
Home sales could fall as much as eight per cent in the first year after the new mortgage rules come into effect, Bloomberg reported. Of course, that depends on what buyers do. They may decide not to buy homes at all, they could also opt to buy cheaper properties, or dig into their savings just to afford their purchases, finance department spokesman Jack Aubry told the news agency. Meanwhile, the Bank of Canada says home sales could fall by as much as 10 per cent, while prices could drop by five per cent.
Stricter mortgage rules could mean that borrowers start turning to "shadow-banking," according to Canaccord Genuity. "Shadow-banking" refers to activities that happen outside traditional financial institutions. While bigger banks lend money using cash from deposits, shadow banks use money from groups of investors and aren't subject to the same scrutiny as major financial firms. They could therefore be more likely to hand out bad loans.
Canada's economy as a whole grew by $4.2 billion from the fourth quarter of 2014 to the second quarter of 2016, according to Macquarie Research. But residential investment increased by 3.5 times that amount ($14.7 billion) in the same time frame as housing activity skyrocketed in Vancouver and Toronto. Watch for residential investment to decline.
There are concerns that the new rules don't create an even playing-field for mortgage lenders outside the big banks, The Globe and Mail reported. Alternative lenders such as Home Capital Group, which generally target riskier borrowers with lower credit scores, may find themselves scrambling for business now that mortgage clients have to qualify for loans at higher interest rates.

SEFAR® Architecture Vision Transforms Corporate Headquarters with Privacy and Light
Glass Partition System Provides a Modern Place to Work for Wascosa Employees
"The glass walls featuring SEFAR Architecture'
Designed by architect Lussi+Halter Partner AG, the Vision fabrics were combined with SWISSDIVIDE glass partition system from Glas Trösch to deliver a striking look for the office space. The combination of metal-coated fabrics harmonize with each other seamlessly.
"This is a unique material for use in interior glass partition systems. We encountered no issues with the lamination of the fabric or the installation of the finished partition system," says Rouven Seidler, key account manager at Glas Trösch AG, the installer of the project. "The end result creates privacy for the work environment and is visually stunning, especially with the combination of four different metals."
The architect also specified a similar SEFAR Architecture Vision installation for the 161,458 square-foot façade of the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) new headquarters, one of Wascosa's customers.
SEFAR® Architecture Vision is a metal-coated precision fabric interlayer, typically laminated within glass or other transparent materials, to create unique aesthetic design possibilities in exterior glass facades, windows and interior and decorative glass partition wall systems.
With its unique metal coatings and mesh configurations, SEFAR Architecture Vision offers an unparalleled aesthetic compared to other interlayer and glazing products. It
utilizes metal-coated fabrics with various apertures to create depth and a reflective quality without overwhelming glare.
Vision materials can be metal coated on one or both sides to produce the desired effect, and are also printable with UV stabilized inks to produce Pantone colors, patterns, and other design effects.
SEFAR Architecture Vision fabrics are available in a variety of metal coatings, aperture percentages (25-70%), light transmission percentages (18-60%) and in plain or twill weaves.
In addition to SEFAR Architecture, members of the project team included architect Lussi+Halter Partner AG, Lucerne, Switzerland, general contractor Anliker AG, Lucerne, Switzerland and installer Glas Trösch AG, Steffisburg, Switzerland.

The Vision of the Three Stars
"I was watching the sky. It was pitch-black and there were these three stars sitting there. All of a sudden, they started moving and writing on the sky as if it were a blackboard. At first, I did not understand what was being written because the language was unknown to me (maybe it was Hebrew or Aramaic); but slowly, I started to understand what was being written, then I started seeing what was being written, and then suddenly I was sucked into the middle of it. What I began to see was beyond anything I have ever dreamed possible. Big chunks of America disappeared from the map. I was up in the sky and I saw three quarters of Florida covered with water, except for the northern part.
I saw what was coming upon the world; I saw the Day of the LORD. I saw horrible devastating cataclysms, a terrible world war, much bloodshed and destruction; the manifestation of the man of sin, and the fierce persecution he will begin of all Christians on this nation and the whole world, leading to the mark of the beast and all kinds of horrors. Gangs with guns were looting and pillaging everything; people killing each other for food and water for their children and family. The famine was so great, that people became cannibals; things that I saw were so graphic, that I am not able to share them. Militarized police beating and shooting people, taking them to FEMA camps.
It was such a horrific experience, that every time I remember the things that I saw, it causes me pain. I saw and experienced the great suffering that humanity will have to go through, especially the Christians. I sensed their terrible pain and suffering, agony, martyrdom and all kinds of persecutions that they will have to endure. Most of them had no clue that these things were imminent, until it was too late. When I came out of this vision of the night, I was sobbing in travail and soaking with perspiration. To this day I am affected by what I experienced that night. I can still hear the blood curdling screams of the people as they fled in horror for their lives.
Interpretation:I believe the Lord showed me what is about to happen in the not too distant future. I kept this vision to myself for three years; what I saw and experienced was horrible. Then soon after the vision, the big tsunami hit Indonesia killing thousands of people, then came Katrina; the China floods; Russian wildfires; massive earthquakes over 8.0 Richter in Haiti, Chile, China and other countries all over the earth. Disasters are on the daily news. We have only seen just a small sample of what is coming.
The police has become more brutal and militarized. Laws have been passed since then that take away our freedoms, and pave the way for electronic surveillance all over the nation. In recent months Droughts, Fires, Artic Blasts and Floodings have come in waves one after another. The Fukushima nuclear radiation is now reaching the western coast of America both by water and air, as famine and water contamination are being predicted for the foreseeable future. Repent and get close to God now. The Day of the LORD is at hand.
Psalms 91:1-8 "He that dwells in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence. He shall cover you with his feathers, and under his wings shall you trust: his truth shall be your shield and buckler. You shall not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flies by day; Nor for the pestilence that walks in darkness; nor for the destruction that wastes at noonday. A thousand shall fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you. Only with your eyes shall you behold and see the reward of the wicked."

Reflections on the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples

Juli 2011
BeschreibungThe adoption of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples by the United Nations General Assembly on 13 September 2007 was acclaimed as a major success for the United Nations system given the extent to which it consolidates and develops the international corpus of indigenous rights. This is the first in-depth academic analysis of this far-reaching instrument. Indigenous representatives have argued that the rights contained in the Declaration, and the processes by which it was formulated, obligate affected States to accept the validity of its provisions and its interpretation of contested concepts (such as 'culture', 'land', 'ownership' and 'self-determination'). This edited collection contains essays written by the main protagonists in the development of the Declaration; indigenous representatives; and field-leading academics. It offers a comprehensive institutional, thematic and regional analysis of the Declaration. In particular, it explores the Declaration's normative resonance for international law and considers the ways in which this international instrument could catalyse institutional action and influence the development of national laws and policies on indigenous issues.

If you or someone you know is going through some severe symptoms, you might feel the urge to go to a medical center for immediate treatment. In the event that you think you're not hurt enough to merit a 911 call, this is when you decide whether you should go to the emergency room or to an urgent care center. There's a big difference between the two and it's very important that you are aware of this because it could save your life in a medical emergency. Basically, the distinction between the two lies in the severity of the symptoms you are experiencing. If you are going through symptoms that you think can wait for a few hours to be addressed, then what you need is an urgent care center. Below is an overview of the things to consider before seeking urgent medical care.
1) What's the severity of the symptoms that you are experiencing? You need to evaluate the symptoms and decide if they are in need of urgent care or if you need to go to the emergency room. There are no written rules about this so you have to make a judgment on your own. Just because you want to be checked up immediately doesn't mean you must go to the emergency room. Some of the symptoms that only need a visit to an urgent care center include the following – colds, bad coughs, asthma attacks, migraine headache, dizziness, rashes, diarrhea, mild vomiting, non-severe abdominal pain, urinary tract infections, minor fractures, bruises, sprains, pink eyes, minor burns, and minor cuts. However, if these symptoms are so severe that you are writhing in pain, it's advisable that you head to the emergency room.
2) Have you been experiencing the same symptoms in the past? If this is the case, then you are going to only need treatment from an urgent care center. A good example of this is an asthma attack. This is a recurring problem that doesn't need emergency treatment especially if the condition is manageable. Always keep in mind that emergency rooms, especially in thickly populated urban areas, can be very crowded. Don't add yourself to the line if you are going through pain or symptoms that you can still manage.
3) What's the location of the urgent care center? You also need to consider the amount of time that it will take you to reach the nearest medical facility. If the symptoms you are experiencing are not severe and there's an urgent care center nearby, then the center is your most viable choice. However, if the center is so far away and you think that your symptoms are increasing in severity, then it's probably advisable that you go to the emergency room if it's nearer.
These are the most important things to consider before seeking urgent medical care. Generally speaking, the thing you need to focus on is the severity of the symptoms that you are experiencing. If the pain is manageable, then an urgent care center is the most viable option. If the symptoms are too severe and seem to be getting worse, then you should go to the emergency room immediately.

The Congressional Research Service's summary of the bill indicates the Promoting Access, Competition, and Equity Act of 2015, or PACE Act, amends Medicare "to ease application criteria and procedures for physician-owned hospitals to expand their facilities. Under current law, expansion of physician-owned hospitals is subject to certain limitations, such as those regarding the extent and frequency of expansion and requiring community output. The bill suspends these limitations with respect to applications for expansion filed before October 1, 2019."
The bill also "exempts physician-owned hospitals from specified documentation and coding adjustments, and extends reductions in certain inflationary increases associated with Medicare payments for inpatient hospital services."
In the letter, TMA, AMA, and 40 other medical societies and organizations say they oppose the provision in the Affordable Care Act that "strictly prohibits any new physician-owned hospitals from participating in Medicare and Medicaid." The organizations add that provision of ACA creates an "unlevel playing field in the health care system for one particular model of hospital ownership."
"The inability of physician-owned hospitals to address the growing demand for high quality health care services in their community is bad for our entire health care system and does nothing but penalize patients who should have the right to receive care at the hospital of their choice," the letter states.

Enlightened Scholar
Disclaimer: After reviewing version 1.0. I stepped up and tried to help improve the pdf, to make it more accessible and Steve has implemented some of my suggestions to improve the ES-pdf. That is very rewarding to see and shows an admirable willingness to support and improve products!
This full-color pdf clocks in at 25 pages, 1 page front cover, 1 page credits, 1 page ad and 1 page OGL, leaving a whopping 21 pages of crunch and fluff for this class, and rest assured, the space has been put to good use.
What is the enlightened scholar? Well, remember Kang the Mad from Bioware's Jade Empire? The Uncle in Jackie Chan movies? The Enlightened Scholar is all of this and even more. Mechanically, it's a D6, 6+Int skill ranks, 1 good save class that has a monk-like improving unarmed attack that gets better as he progresses as well as a bonus to AC.
The major abilities of the ES, however, are abilities selected from diverse fields of knowledge, so called enlightened knowledge-abilities he may select from several fields.
The fields are:
Academia (Knowledge + Languages), Feng-Shui (alter the flow of of fate, exorcise with a broom), Folk Magic (makes the ES a minor preparing spellcaster), I Ching (Divination and prediction abilities), Invention (trapfinding and creating strange devices and the like), Medicine (gives helping healing abilities), Nei Tan (internal alchemy), Warfare (Help allies with strategy), Wei Tan (external alchemy).
Each of the fields has several different abilities to choose from and you may switch freely from field to field, however, some of the abilities with a given field have additional prerequisites (skills, feats and other enlightened knowledge abilities). They all have in common that they utilize some legendary features of wise men from Chinese legends, movies and games. Ever wanted to create a conveyance that can swim and fly with or without weapons, usable by you alone or by groups?
There are actually rules for this in the pdf!
Want to combine potions? Bombs? Be a know-it-all? The ES can be all that, and more!
Very interesting is, among others, the ability to Brandish Magical Might, which enables him to counter spells cast by others if he readies an action. The ability is usable once per day per two class levels and does not cost any spell slots or the like. He can also use this check to overcome SR.
The whole class takes up 15 pages and is advanced in every sense of the word: Interesting, complex and many options to consider. The ES is certainly not a class to pick-up-and-play, but rather a versatile and complex class that is definitely rewarding to play. Additionally, everything has been done to make the class as comprehensive as possible.
We also get 1 page with a new skill, the Feng Shui skill.
After that, we get 4 pages of Ch'i and Chakrafeats, which I liked. They are cool and the system they utilize is now in V.2.0 easier to understand for people who don't have access to Heroes of the Jade Oath.
The Es is an extremely iconic, versatile and cool class that makes me not only think of one potential character-concept, but whole campaign-arcs around them either as PCs or NPCs, or both.
I'll start with 5 stars for the awesome idea and the willingness to improve the pdf and for making this very versatile, complex class easy to understand and implement. Unfortunately, the immortal knowledge abilities are still missing and so I'll have to detract one star. Rest assured, though, that the pdf still has more than enough highest quality crunch to satisfy your gaming needs.
Edit: The Folk Magic table has been released as an additional download.

Creating Custom Magic Find Methods in CakePHP with the Find Magician Behavior
I have always been a fan of the magic find methods in CakePHP. While these methods suit a lot of situations, I have always wanted a magic find method that would return a single field instead of the entire record. What I needed was a findXByY method that would return a single field based on a single field condition. I often want to use this to find an id based on the record name, or a findIdByName method.
CakePHP handles this using Mapped Methods. The trick is using the $mapped_methods property in a behavior.
Let's create the behavior.
<?php class FindMagicianBehavior extends ModelBehavior { } ?>
Now let's add the $map_methods property. This will parse the method name to see if it matches the expression. In this case we want to check for a field name between 'find' and 'By' and one after 'By'.
<?php class FindMagicianBehavior extends ModelBehavior { public $mapMethods = array('/find(\w+)By(\w+)/' => 'findXByY'); } ?>
Now let's build our custom method. Our method needs to receive the Model as the first parameter. The second parameter will be populated with custom method name. These two parameters are required when defining the method, however, they are not passed when you call the method. The $value, $conditions, and $order parameters will be used by the Model field method we will be using.
<?php class FindMagicianBehavior extends ModelBehavior { public $mapMethods = array('/find(\w+)By(\w+)/' => 'findXByY'); public function findXByY(Model $model, $method, $value, $conditions = null, $order = null) { } } ?>
Now let's parse the $method parameter to retrieve the two field names we need.
<?php class FindMagicianBehavior extends ModelBehavior { public $mapMethods = array('/find(\w+)By(\w+)/' => 'findXByY'); public function findXByY(Model $model, $method, $value, $conditions = null, $order = null) { //Parse the method name. $x = Inflector::underscore(substr(substr($method,4),0, (strpos(substr($method,4),'By')))); $y = Inflector::underscore(substr(substr($method,4),(strpos(substr($method,4),'By')+2))); } } ?>
Now let's handle the conditions.
<?php class FindMagicianBehavior extends ModelBehavior { public $mapMethods = array('/find(\w+)By(\w+)/' => 'findXByY'); public function findXByY(Model $model, $method, $value, $conditions = null, $order = null) { //Parse the method name $x = Inflector::underscore(substr(substr($method,4),0, (strpos(substr($method,4),'By')))); $y = Inflector::underscore(substr(substr($method,4),(strpos(substr($method,4),'By')+2))); //Handle the conditions if (isset($conditions)) { Hash::merge($conditions, array($y => $value)); } else { $conditions = array($y => $value); } } } ?>
Finally, we want to call the field method and return the results.
<?php class FindMagicianBehavior extends ModelBehavior { public $mapMethods = array('/find(\w+)By(\w+)/' => 'findXByY'); public function findXByY(Model $model, $method, $value, $conditions = null, $order = null) { //Parse the method name $x = Inflector::underscore(substr(substr($method,4),0, (strpos(substr($method,4),'By')))); $y = Inflector::underscore(substr(substr($method,4),(strpos(substr($method,4),'By')+2))); //Handle the conditions if (isset($conditions)) { Hash::merge($conditions, array($y => $value)); } else { $conditions = array($y => $value); } //Return the field. return $model->field($x,$conditions, $order); } } ?>
Add this to app/Model/Behaviors/FindMagicianBehavior.php
Now include the behavior in a model.
public $actsAs = array('FindMagician');
To use the method, simply call it like this:
or add additional conditions or ordering.
$this->YourModel->findIdByName($fieldName, $additionalConditions, $order);
Stay tuned for more magic find methods in the Find Magician Behavior.
Migrating from CakePHP 1.3 to CakePHP 2.0
With the recent release of CakePHP 2.0 Beta, I decided to upgrade ActionTracks to CakePHP 2.0. I thought this would be a popular topic so I am adding this article to document the process. The Cake console has and upgrade utility that will handle several of these tasks for you. I had already started the process when I discovered this utility. I did use it to do some find and replaces on things like helpers. While the utility is a great addition, some people may not be comfortable automating that much. While there are a lot of very cool new features in CakePHP 2.0, which I will be covering in my overview, this article is focused on what you need to do to get your CakePHP 1.3 application upgraded to CakePHP 2.0.
Installing CakePHP 2.0
This is pretty straight forward. Install Cake per the instructions. There isn't much difference between installing CakePHP 2.0 and previous versions. Unzip the downloaded file in your desired location.
Configure CakePHP
You should start with default core.php file. Update the configuration values to match those in the app you are migrating. Make sure you copy the Security.salt and Security.cipher_seed from your old core.php or you won't be able to login in addition to other possible security issues. Copy any custom configuration values you have added to your old core.php. Take notice of how errors, sessions, and caching has changed.
The database configuration has only a minor change in how you designate the database engine. Previously, you used this:
'driver' => 'mysqli',
now, you use this:
'datasource' => 'Database/Mysql',
The Route file has been changes slightly. Cake's default routes are now optionally loaded at the end of the file. If you do not want to use Cake's routes, then you can comment this line. In addition, CakePHP 2.0 now has much better handling of plugins. One of those features is automatically loading routes for plugins. You can place your custom routes before or after
CakePlugin::routes(), depending on whether you want your custom routes to be matched before or after plugin routes.
Other than loading plugins, the bootstrap file hasn't changed much. Copy any functions, constants, or other code from your old bootstrap into the new one.
Copy/Rebake Files
The directory structure for CakePHP 2.0 is a bit different from previous versions. Most notably, most files and folders are now CamelCased instead of lower_underscored. My understanding is that this was done so that files and directory names matched their class names. This should also provide a performance boost as file and folder names will not have to be run through the Inflector Class. As a result, you will either need to rebake your files and then copy code from your old files. While this might be the best bet if you are using a lot of baked controllers and views; for most, this would create a lot of work. Instead, I decided to simply copy all of my old files into their respective directories in the new app. I then went through and renamed the models, controllers, and component files to match the class name. Your users controller called users_controller.php becomes UsersController.php. While you need to rename the View folders to be CamelCased, the view files keep their naming conventions so that they match the action name.
Move App Files
The parent app_ classes have been moved and renamed as well. Instead of app_controller.php, app_model.php, and app_helper.php now become Controller/AppController.php, Model/AppModel.php, and View/Helper/AppHelper.php.
Copy Email Elements
Email elements have been moved from views/elements to View/Emails.
Ok, now let's make things work! At this point, I was actually getting a login screen. I couldn't login however. I disabled the Auth Component temporarily to see what worked. Surprisingly, most things were functioning and rendering ok.
Auth Component
The Auth Component has gone through quite a bit of changes and now boasts some very cool features. Auth now supports multiple authorization adapters that can all be used together. No longer are you limited to using actions, controllers, or crud as the sole method of authorization. Not only can you create custom adapters, but you can also use multiple adapters together. This will be incredibly powerful! As a result of these new features, the configuration of the Auth Component has changed. You will need to update this:
$this->Auth->authorize = 'actions';
$this->Auth->actionPath = 'controllers/';
$this->Auth->flashElement = 'flash/error';
to this:
$this->Auth->authorize = array(
'Actions' => array(
'actionPath' => 'controllers'
$this->Auth->flash = array(
'element' => 'flash/error',
'key' => 'auth',
'params' => array()
Request Data
CakePHP 2.0 has consolidated some request related classes into the Request Class. This changes how you get data from forms and passed from other methods.
The Request Object does not have form element any longer. You will need to replace
$this->params['form'] with
$this->request['data'] or
$this->request->data. In addition,
$this->data needs to be replaced with
The Ajax, Javascript, and Xml helpers have been removed. You will need to replace these helper calls with appropriate alternatives. In addition, the old style of calling helpers in no longer supported. Helpers can no longer be called with
$helper->function(). You need to update your helper calls to use
$this->Helper->function(). I did run the utility to update the helper calls. I did notice, however, that it did not update the Paginator calls. I had to do that with a custom find and replace.
__() Function
The __() function no longer has the option to echo. It always returns. As a result, any calls that used the return argument need to be updated. This is often used by the Paginator when rendering the counter as well as Session flash messages. Change this:
echo $this->Paginator->counter(array(
'format' => __('Page %page% of %pages%, showing %current% records out of %count% total, starting on record %start%, ending on %end%', true)
to this:
echo $this->Paginator->counter(array(
'format' => __('Page %page% of %pages%, showing %current% records out of %count% total, starting on record %start%, ending on %end%')
PHPUnit Tests
CakePHP 2.0 has replaced SimpleTest with PHPUnit. Unfortunately, this is where I have had the greatest trouble. I initially tried installing PHPUnit from pear, however, I was running into errors that turned out to be related to MAMP's default pear configuration. Deleting the pear config file ended up solving that problem. I decided to rebake my tests and then copy the test methods from my old app. I am having trouble with some fixtures that use virtual fields on my Model tests. I can't seem to get any controller tests to run. Once I solve the testing dilemmas, I will come back and update this.
I still have a few CSS issues to resolve, but the application is up and running! Now I can't wait to dig into the new features!
Unit Tests added to ActionTracks
Over the last couple weeks, I have been focusing on writing unit tests for models and controllers. I am happy to announce that I have completed the tests and they run without errors. The tree_xml methods do not have tests as there were errors in outputing results. These methods are going to be replaced with JSON versions so I will add those tests when I convert those methods. This has not been a fun project, however, it is rewarding to know it is done and adding new tests will be far less daunting. I may push an update to Alpha 0.6 with the test or I may wait until I add the features for 0.7.
CakePHP and UUIDs
A UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) is a 36 character string comprised of 32 hexadecimal digits separated by 4 hyphens. UUIDs are typically used for primary keys when the key needs to remain unique across many tables, databases, or systems. This is often the case with database replication. UUIDs are designed to be "practically unique". You could generate 1 billion UUIDs every second for 100 years before your probability of generating a duplicate would be 50%.
CakePHP Support
CakePHP supports UUIDs and will automatically generate them for primary keys with the data type CHAR(36) or BINARY(36). In addition you can generate UUIDs in your app using String::uuid().
Why Use UUIDs?
Abstract Data
UUIDs can be used to provide some powerful data abstraction and interesting queries. In ActionTracks, I store additional attribute data for contacts, profiles, and users in one table. A field in the data table is called entity_id and stores the id of contacts, profiles and users. Using integer based primary keys would require generating the keys from a central source. This would be impossible using auto incrementing integer based primary keys.
Advanced Database Features
If you plan to use advance database techniques such as replication, partitioning, or clustering you will probably need unique primary keys. This is one of the most common reasons to use UUIDs. If you plan to use these features or think that your application may grow to the point of needing multiple database servers then you should consider using UUIDs from the beginning to avoid rekeying your application.
UUIDs can help to obfuscate your application. While this is certainly not foolproof, identifying a 36 character string is a lot harder than identifying an integer.
Unfortunately, the power of UUIDs comes at a price. Using UUIDs can have some performance implications especially when using InnoDB. A UUID is typically much larger than an incremental id. In many cases, the id is larger than the data it represents. In InnoDB, secondary keys always include the primary key, This can result in significantly larger indexes.
Although CakePHP does not support the 16 byte hex encoded UUID with the key type of BINARY(16), it does support BINARY(36) which is still better than using CHAR(36) which can be slowed down by collation.
It is sometimes useful to add a UUID generator to your site for initial development and testing.
ActionTracks Alpha 0.6 Released!
ActionTracks Alpha_0.6 is now available. In addition to several bug fixes and improvements several new features were added. The ActionTracks page now has screen shots. I am working on a live demo with generic field and data layout. Here are some highlights:
- My Account page for managing your account, contacts, messages, tracks.
- Application Settings similar to those of Croogo without the YAML.
- Access Control has been implemented with the Alaxos ACL plugin.
- Added Contact Groups Tab
- Standard and AJAX flash messages

Alright...this is my favorite story so far from Spring Training.Thursday, Daniel "Doc" Jacobs tried out for a spot with the Los Angeles Dodgers, but unlike the countless others that hit the field at Camelback Ranch...dude is a disabled Navy veteran.You see, seven years and three days prior to his tryout, Jacobs was on a battlefield in Ramadi, Iraq when an IED exploded beneath him. His body was left shattered, his left leg amputated from the knee down. The Marine with him...killed.50 surgeries later, Jacobs, now 27 years old, is back on his feet (well, one of them, his left foot is a prosthetic) fielding grounders while Dodgers scouts look on. But, Jacobs, who once had dreams of playing in the Majors, wasn't out there to impress the scouts."It's all about the experience, and letting America and these guys know that not all disabled veterans are going to be a statistic in the news," Jacobs told the Long Beach Press-Telegram. "I'm here to combat the suicide rate, homicide rate, divorce rate statistics. I just want to get out there and prove to America there are awesome disabled veterans out there and we are making a stand against that."Do yourself a favor and check out some pictures from Jacobs' day...just CLICK HERE!

Gros Piton Trail is a 3.6 mile heavily trafficked out and back trail located near the city of Micoud, St. Lucia that offers the chance to see wildlife and is rated as difficult. The trail is primarily used for hiking, nature trips, and scenic driving and is accessible year-round.
nature trips
scenic driving
no dogs
I went with my family while on vacation. This is a very challenging trail as it is a quick hike with the guides. It is steep. The trail is divided into four portions and more than a third of those hiking with us could not make it. Take water and a snack. The views are amazing and you will feel accomplished and in need of a full lunch and a swim in the beautiful waters of at. Lucia!
I did this hike in 2012. It is a guided hike (that's just how they do it there) and it is extremely hard. At one point you are climbing up a rocky incline. It's not a dangerous type of hard, the rocks are scattered enough they function like steep steps. I never thought I was going to fall. The "hard" was more of a physically challenging type of hard. It wasn't the incline that was hard for me. I was able to make it up that steep rock-stepping incline just fine (if I had to guess it would be like 45 minutes with the stair master on the absolute hardest setting). What I found extremely hard was the decline (after completing the incline). It got to a point where my legs felt like noodles and with every steep-step down I was worried my legs wouldn't actually hold up, I was worried that when I took each next steep step that my leg would crumble... but they did and it was so so rewarding to have completed this hike.
Incredibly beautiful. Words can't describe the sights, however more difficult hike than advertised

One of the BEST and most challenging hikes I have done!

USD/CAD: buy target - 1.4000
By: Dmitriy Chernovolov
- USD/CAD reached buy targets levels 1.3600 and 1.3800
- Next buy target - 1.4000
USD/CAD has been rising steadily in the last few trading sessions– reaching the resistance levels 1.3600 and 1.3800, both of which were set in our previous forecast as the buy targets for this currency pair. The breakout of the resistance level 1.3800 is likely to accelerate the active impulse 5 of the intermediate impulse wave (3) from the end of November.
USD/CAD is likely to rise further toward the next buy target at the round resistance level 1.4000 (target price for the completion of the active impulse wave (3) and the measured price forecast for the earlier breakout of the daily Triangle from September).

I am not a transvestite. Once I wore a skirt, but that was when I was six and I was playing a tangerine in the school play. So it feels odd to find myself standing on a baking Mediterranean cliff-top dressed only in a leather micro-skirt.
It's not just the strange, airy sensation that is unsettling. It's the view. In front of me stands ancient Troy, to my left is Asterix's wooden galleon, on the right I can make out the Titanic and hanging over my head is a giant German Second World War U-Boat.
I'm standing in Malta's film studios where this summer's must-ogle sex'n'sandals epic, Troy, was made. Brad Pitt, Saffron Burrows and Orlando Bloom fought Homer's tale of love and war here and I am taking the island's first movie tour.
Sadly, I am also discovering I am no Greek God. As I stand on the cliff and strike my best Troy boy pose, local teenagers point and make puke gestures.
Pitt and his leathery co-stars will be hoping for a better reception as the first British audiences see Troy this weekend. With a budget of £150 million it is the most expensive film ever made and the biggest of the year. Hollywood needs a hit, and so does Malta. The island is counting on Hollywood to put it on the tourist map. Its first movie tour is designed to rival the likes of Universal Studios in Florida and Twentieth Century Fox in Los Angeles.
Not everyone opts to don the Brad skirt, says Ron, my film guide for the day but, he points out, however you are clad, the film studios at Fort Ricasoli are a great place to start. The giant seventeenth-century castle just outside the capital Valletta doubled as Rome in Gladiator and served as a backdrop for Oliver Stone's soon-to-be-released Alexander, starring Colin Farrell and Anthony Hopkins. It also appeared in the Kim Philby-inspired spy movie A Different Loyalty, starring Sharon Stone and Rupert Everett, and doubled as ancient Gaul and Egypt in the equally weighty 2002 film Astérix & Obélix: Mission Cléoptre .
In the giant water tanks next to the fort they filmed 1980's Raise the Titanic and the Second World War thriller U-571, starring Harvey Keitel and Jon Bon Jovi. For some reason they are less keen to mention that Madonna's so-bad-it-went-straight-to-video Swept Away was made here. 'Not every film is a success but I'm told Madonna and Guy Ritchie had a very nice time in Malta,' Ron says diplomatically.
That's not surprising when you find they had the run of Valletta's restaurants and bars. The waiters at Rubino, on Old Bakery Street, recall serving Malta's national dish - sweet rabbit stew - to Guy Ritchie. Madonna ate snapper, another local delicacy.
Around the corner, in a tiny cave-like hostelry, they still raise a glass to Oliver Reed, who died there after a night on the tiles during the filming of Gladiator. It was promptly renamed Ollie's Last Pub in his honour.
'But the stars don't just stay in the city,' says Ron, as he bundles me into his old Fiat and clatters north on the island's ancient roads. Brad Pitt may have enjoyed more luxury than the ancient Greeks - he stayed in the Hilton in the tourist resort of St Julian's rather than under canvas - but he showed just as much leadership.
'He and Peter O'Toole and the crew were drinking in the bar at 3am when the barman tried to close up,' Ron says. 'Pitt offered his fee - $10m - to buy the entire hotel and keep the bar open.'
But Malta and stardom don't always make such easy bedfellows, as I discover when Ron and I reach the ancient city of Mdina. Sharon Stone stayed at the five-star hotel, Xara Palace, and you can still book the table named after her at Trattoria AD1530. But by all accounts, she wasn't a popular dinner guest.
'She was always complaining that the water on the table was too hot or too cold and that there weren't enough mirrors on the walls,' the waiter wails as he serves my calamari. Perhaps the locals are growing blasé about celebrities, which is not surprising when you consider how many spend time here.
Geena Davis's 1995 pirate movie Cutthroat Island was shot in Mdina, while the square in front of St Paul's cathedral hosted a carnival in Guy Pearce's The Count of Monte Cristo. Further north is Anchor Bay, home of the Popeye Village where Robin Williams starred in the 1980 musical version of the cartoon.
A short ferry ride away is St Mary's Tower, used as Câhteau d'If prison in The Count of Monte Cristo. By the time Ron and I get there, we have been driving since breakfast, the sun is going down and we still haven't got to see the beach where Madonna's movie career ran into the sand.
Malta is smaller than Los Angeles, but makes more films per head of population each year than the world's entertainment capital. And you can't even escape the paparazzi glow by taking the 25-minute, £2.50 return ferry from the mainland to the neighbouring island, Gozo. The filming of a dozen movies and Billy Connolly's decision to buy a home there has disturbed the tranquillity.
The only way to escape all the men in skirts is to don an even less stylish costume and get your head down. 'The water's cold today,' says Ian, boss of Aquaventure, a dive operator in the northern town of Mellieha, as he hands me a wetsuit so thick that it makes me look and feel like Obelix. (This movie obsession is catching.) Malta is almost as well known for diving as for star-spotting.
On our first day we head for the Gozo channel and swim through an underwater rock arch on to the reef to find sand-coloured flounders hiding on the sea bed, flashing silver sardines pursued by barracuda and octopuses pursued by fishermen.
We head to Gozo later for one of the best-loved dives in the Med. We enter a small inland fissure in the rock on land, and swim downwards head-first to a bright gap in the rock which marks the entrance to a tunnel that leads to the open sea. Swimming through it and emerging into a 2,000-metre vertical drop to the sea floor feels like flying.
Our escape from movie mania doesn't last long, however. As soon as I am back on dry land, Ron hands me the island's latest must-see publication, the Malta Movie Map - just like the guides to the stars' houses that they hand out in Beverly Hills.
On the island that launched a thousand scripts, I can 'go see where Brad conquered, stand in our virtual reality Coliseum with Russell Crowe and get Swept Away with Madonna'.
It's epic stuff and, as with any good blockbuster, the sting is in the tail. On the back of the map in three-inch high letters is the question I have been asking myself all day: 'Are you man enough to wear a skirt?'
John Arlidge travelled with James Villa Holidays (0845 458 4757; www.jamesvillas.co.uk) which offers private villas with swimming pools. A one-week stay at Villa Stefanotis in St Maria, Mellieha, departing on 7 September costs £849, excluding flights. Car hire in September starts from £149 for one week.
Air Malta (0845 345 6045; www.airmalta.com) offers scheduled services from Heathrow, and has just launched a no-frills service, Fare 4U, which flies three times a week from London Stansted to Malta. One-way flights cost just £38, excluding taxes of £11.80. Gozo is a 20-minute ferry ride from Malta. If you are feeling very A-list, you can take one of the regular helicopter shuttle flights which operate from Malta's Luqa airport, near Valletta.
Private Malta Movie Tours can be arranged via the Malta Tourist Office (020 8877 6990; www.visitmalta.com) from £100 a day. You can download the Malta Movie Map at http://maltamoviemap.visitmalta.com.

Arsene Wenger is still hungry to succeed at Arsenal as he prepares to take charge of his 1,000th Gunners game, according to former chairman Peter Hill-Wood.
Arsenal are without a trophy since 2005 but are firmly in the chase for the Barclays Premier League title and the FA Cup this season.
Hill-Wood, who stepped down after 31 years as chairman last June following a heart attack, believes Wenger can lead the team into a new era.
He told the Daily Telegraph: "He doesn't think his job is finished yet. I don't think his enthusiasm has diminished at all.
"I don't see him suddenly deserting and starting again at some other club."
Arsene Wenger's worst signings XI
Arsene Wenger's worst signings XI
1/11 Richard Wright
After impressing at Ipswich, Wright was signed in 2001 as the heir to David Seaman's No 1 shirt, but his time at Highbury was remembered for error after error, and he was eventually usurped by young Stuart Taylor
2/11 Oleg Luzhny
Known as "The Horse" for his galloping runs, but played like he was wearing blinkers. Joined from Dynamo Kyiv in 1999
3/11 Igors Stepanovs
Tried to marshal the Gunners against Manchester United at Old Trafford in disastrous consequences, the team conceding five before half-time and memorably losing 6-1. Latvian signed from Skonto Riga in 2000
4/11 Sebastien Squillaci
French international joined for £4m from Sevilla in 2010. Made 39 largely woeful appearances for the club, and left on a free last year
5/11 Andre Santos
The least said about Santos the better. Wenger said the "quality" left-back had "Champions League experience" when he was signed from Fenerbahce for £6.2m in 2011 but he had yet to play even in the full competition. Was he even talking about the same player?
6/11 Junichi Inamoto
The Japanese midfielder joined from Gamba Osaka in 2001, in a move that was portrayed as a cynical marketing ploy for the Gunners to tap into the Far East market. The doubters had a point, he failed to make a Premier League appearance for the club before leaving to join Fulham a year later
7/11 Amaury Bischoff
Wenger admitted he had taken "a gamble" on signing the injury-hit Portuguese midfielder in 2008. The gamble didn't pay off - he only played one Premier League match for the Gunners before leaving the following season
8/11 Gervinho
He may now be setting the world alight for Roma in Italy, but the Gervinho at Arsenal was a different beast - one that could not cross or shoot, and confused himself when he was running with the ball
9/11 Park Ju-Young
Park who? I hear you cry. Despite scoring on his debut, the South Korean striker only ever made seven appearances in three years at the club. He is now paying his trade on loan at Watford
10/11 Marouane Chamakh
The Moroccan target man joined from Bordeaux with fine Champions League pedigree. Unfortunately he did not ever get close to replicating this for the Gunners
11/11 Francis Jeffers
The "Fox in the Box" was not a wily signing for £8m. He scored eight goals during his time at Arsenal, meaning every goal he scored set the club back a cool £1m
The Frenchman's contract expires at the end of the season but Hill-Wood does not see that as a significant issue.
He added: "When I have spoken to (chief executive) Ivan Gazidis he is very confident that there isn't a problem.
"Arsene doesn't like to do these things in the middle of the season."
On Wenger's contribution to the north London club, Hill-Wood added: "He has transformed the place. Most importantly really, I think he changed the way football was played in this country.
"It looks promising this season - but I really could never have imagined that we would be talking about a 1,000th game (under Wenger).
"I don't think any of us thought he would be even half as successful as he was."Reuse content

Wren Merlet is asexual and aromantic.
She also draws.
The thing is, she's been best friends with Matthew Franz since she was young. Childhood friends. And she happens to sketch him a lot.
Pages upon pages are filled out with the curve of his jaw, the way his lips tilt upwards when he smiles, the open delight on his face while he laughs. The contours of his hand. The slope of his shoulders.
Her dad teases her about it. "Oh come on, you draw that boy so much and you expect me to believe that you don't like him?" He'll say, a twinkle in his eye.
But Wren doesn't love Matthew.
She's infatuated with him. She's fascinated by him. She appreciates being around him.
But she's not in love with him.
Later, she stares at a screen as two definitions seem to want to leap through it and throttle her. They feel like a sucker punch to the gut.
Aromantic: An aromantic is a person who experiences little or no romantic attraction to others. Where romantic people have an emotional need to be with another person in a romantic relationship, aromantics are often satisfied with friendships and other non-romantic relationships.
Asexual: Asexuality (or nonsexuality) is the lack of sexual attraction to anyone, or low or absent interest in sexual activity.
And Wren just can't help it.
But Matthew understands. He's not aromantic or asexual, though. He's a seventeen-year-old boy who wants to date girls and be able to kiss them. He wants somebody to be able to tell him I love you and mean it.
She cannot give that to him. She, by definition and the way her brain works, cannot give Matthew what he wants.
When they were little, she'd crease her brow and stamp her little feet in frustration. "Mommy and Daddy say they love each other. What does love feel like?" She'd say.
And Matthew would answer, "It's like this warm feeling. You kind of just... love them." Being unable to explain sufficiently, he'd reach out and smooth his thumb over the wrinkles in her forehead. "It's okay if you don't love. I don't mind. I'll love for you!"
And she remembers clearly his sentence, the childish eagerness in his voice. "I promise I won't leave you."
She wishes that it was still true.
But it seems like it's impossible for somebody to love someone who will never love them back.
And he appears to have broken his promise.

On Wednesday, April 25, Pintus will talk about his experiences. Pintus' memories are part of the Testimony to Tolerance series. He has lived in Des Moines since 1964 and is now assistant to the rabbi at the Temple B'nai Jeshurun in Des Moines and chaplain emeritus in the Iowa Health systems. "As long as I am alive I will remind people what happened at that time. I feel that is my obligation as a survivor," he said. For more information about either event, call 515.271.1611.

Michael received a Bachelor of Science degree in Economics and Business from Iowa State University. He has completed some graduate work at Drake University.
What Michael likes most about working at the Brooklyn Center campus is the atmosphere and the people. His favorite memory is working with and speaking to the residents of Earle Brown Senior Terrace during last year's Community Service Day. He said it was an amazing experience.
In his spare time, he enjoys reading, writing, being at the cabin, and spending time with family. His favorite band is The Who. His favorite television show is "NCIS." His favorite food is his wife's spaghetti. Michael's guilty pleasure is watching shows about political news.
Michael enjoys running, and he has completed four marathons. He also still plays the guitar from his "rock and roll days."

Names . . .
April 1, 2008
Firstly, Happy April Fools!!!! And no, this is not a prank letter!
Secondly, congratulations on the baby boy! Now, about names, I think that you should definetly not name him Uriah, I've already thought of several ways he could get teased for that. I like the idea of a family member, but maybe someone closer to him.
Truthfully, I think it should be Frances. It's a beautiful and strong name, you've shown me that.

92% of the species occur only in the Cape Floristic Region, a narrow belt of
mountainous coastal land from Clanwilliam to Grahamstown, South Africa.
The extraordinary richness and diversity of species characteristic of the Cape Flora

Perry dismissal requested based on 'vague' indictment
Criminal defense attorney Paul DiMaio said he does not know whether his clients, Richard and Jesse Perry, are guilty or not of the first- and second-degree child molestation charges against them. That's not for him to decide, he added.
"My job is to do the best technical work to defend them," Mr. DeMaio said.
And so far, he said, the prosecution has not given him the necessary information to do his job. Since he's taken on the Perrys as clients, Mr. DiMaio said that he's only seen information from the grand jury indictment of Richard Perry.
"It's a poorly drafted indictment," Mr. DiMaio said.
In it, he said, is a description of the victim's allegations that includes "one alleged act" that occurred "within five years." He said he doesn't even know the age of the alleged victim now or when the alleged crime occurred.
"It's extremely vague," he said.
A grand jury indicted Richard Perry and police subsequently charged him with two counts of first degree child molestation and two counts of second degree child molestation. Last week, Mr. DiMaio filed a motion to have the case against Richard Perry dismissed. While he doesn't expect the judge to dismiss the case against his client, he said that by filing the motion he is making his concern about the prosecution's procedures known to the court.
According to Mr. DiMaio, Richard Perry claims that the alleged victim in the case had attempted to "extort" money from him on more than one occasion. Mr. DiMaio did not say when those alleged extortion attempts occurred.
He also questioned Bristol Police Department officials for saying that the Perry brothers were known throughout the community and that rumors within the community suggesting that inappropriate behavior involving children had circulated for years.
"They painted the guy with a broad brush. They say there are numerous victims. If you got victims bring them in," Mr. DiMaio said.
He doesn't know why the prosecutor for the state hasn't provided information on the case against Richard Perry. Even after filing for discovery, a process in which both sides share the facts of their investigation, special assistant attorney general John H. Dean, who is representing the state, has not responded, Mr. DeMaio said.
"I don't have any discovery. If the crimes occurred it doesn't change the obligation of the government to give enough information for the man to defend it. Tell me more information so the man can defend himself," Mr. DiMaio said.
The discovery process, said Emily Martineau, deputy press secretary for the attorney general, is not being delayed.
"Discovery is triggered by the defense," she said, and is supplemented as new information comes forward. "It could be ongoing right up until the trial."
In a case such as the one against Richard Perry, Ms. Martineau said it takes time to compile all the evidence.
Mr. DiMaio said he is ready to file another motion to compel the state to turn over whatever information they have.
"They're going to have to give me sufficient answers or it will be dismissed. I don't know why they're waiting," he said. "Unless they want us to be unprepared."
Richard Perry is scheduled for a bail hearing on Jan. 22 in Providence Superior Court. His brother, Jesse S. Perry, who is charged with one count of first degree child molestation and one count of second degree child molestation, is scheduled for a Jan. 18 bail hearing in Sixth Division District Court.
