At BMO Bank of Montreal we have already adopted this standard. IMHO a good mortgage provider will make sure that your home is both affordable now and in the future.

Another close match up with the game being very close until just 3 minutes left in the 4th quarter. Here are the results regarding the Superbowl contest I ran, we had 34 predictions, 18 for the Saints and 16 for the Colts. It was very close between 1st and 2nd place, only 1 point seperated them. The winner of this year's Superbowl contest is Allison Slater. Congratulations Allison!! Sue Edwards was runner up and there was a 3 way tie for 3rd place shared by Ernie Sibbett, Sam Jonas and Bill Downey. thanks to everyone who participated.

As of 3pm on Sunday, we have 17 people for the Saints and 16 for the Colts. I'm sad to say that you're all wrong. LOL!! I have the winning team and score. The Saints will complete a fantastic year. From coaching to it's destiny, the Saints will win. I believe like many of you it will be close until the 2nd half, then the Saints will control the game, a few costly turnovers by the Colts and the game will be over by the end of the 3rd quarter. Manning gets pressured pretty much all day and will be kept off the field by the Saints offense. The final score will be 38-24. Timothy PS: I like my steak medium rare. PSS: I agree with Drew as well, the 49's suck but would like to add a few teams to the list, also the Raiders, Eagles, Cowboys, Vikings, Dolphins, Jets and Brett Favre all can be added to the list.
