Dark Knight against Joker

I've come across a list of comments on the recent movie The Dark Knight, the continuation of Batman Begins. People argue, I see. Whereas there is no point to argue over in fact. Joker is the character which had me go to the cinema twice after the première. Superb figure, unsurpassed performing...the lasting impression. What is Batman there for? Just to stress the Joker's splendour! No, i do not justify criminality and atrocity but it's just the huge talent of Heath Ledger that keeps me admiring his anti-social actions.
Aslo, some people who are long-standing comic admirers say the new batman is nothing against that Kitten and others and his costume is funny; some others were disappointed by the style expecting a comic-like fairy-tale... Hey, people... what time are we living in? Enough of vanishing into the air, enough of majic external combustion engins! What Nolan shows is reality and it is high time we know what real criminal and heroes can really be.

Should You Opt Out of a Credit Limit Increase?

In continuation of financial issues, there's a very curious article on http://www.creditcardspecialist.com/High-Credit-Limits-3878019-page_80.php. and their importance. That reminds me of a story with my classemate back to college years when she, on graduation, was offerd a credit line increase. Assured tht she would never need that high credit limit, she opted out and then faced really hard times paying off her mortgage.
The article give sound advice on how to safely use high limit credit cards. I haven't been offered an increase yet, maybe because not much time has passes since my last late payment, but I'm looking forward to.

The Real Use of My Equity

How do you pay off your mortgage? Following the strategy of "good" financial management? Made a great downpayment and now extra mortgage payments to minimize the borrowing? Do you know that the equity in your home is subject to the housing market changes and can turn out detrimental? Until I decided to become more literate on the subjet, i was more than just responsible with my mortgage payments.
However, financial experts say it's much wiser to maximize the tax-advantage mortgage debt. That's when you make a smaller downpayment and pay only interest on the mortgage loan, you can invest the funds intended for the principle retirement and so benefit much more from the equity.
I cannot say now if i'll risk doing it now. There are some credit cards by the way which would be better managed with some additional funds. But I stll don't know of many successful stories on the subject.

Smart Autos: Style or Safety

I sold my Toyota last week by sending it to the online auction. It went off very quickly indeed. All I know is all the cars on the auction were traded overseas, they say Europeans love american autos.
As for me, I was near making a decision to travel to Spain to get there one of those smart cars so widely and passionately discussed today. I hear the smart fortwo achieved the highest ratings for its front and side crashworthiness. I was really happy to know that the smart dealership network is available in the US and one of the centers is quite near me.
However after such cool-looking auto as my Toyota, the smart fortwo seems a bit graceless so to say..
I m still thinking now... But its really safe...

A Few Thoughs on Finances Again

If you have one of those frequent flyer cards, it's time to make sure it pays for itself. I hear of some recent changes introduced by American airlines aimed at toughening the rules of earning and redeeming miles. They make you spend harder to accumulate the reasonable number of miles. Also, there are not enough seats available to fly and you never know if you will get one. To be sure you'll benefit from a frequent flyer card, you need to spend twice as much as a greater amount of the miles give you some guarantee of a free flight.
I have a card with Delta but, I doubt now if this is the highest yielding rewards deal... If you have some thoughts to share on the topic, feel free to comment.

Dying from Vampire Bats?

Remote villages in Venezuela are bloody spots today...At least 38 people died presumably from rabies coming from bites of vampire bats. Until today I would never have believed it could be possible. Well researcheres from the University of California are trying to confirm it.
Among the symptoms pointing to rabies are body pains, fever and, would you believe, an extreme fear of water! What do you think the reason for the outbreak of the vampire bats? Researches suspect it's environmental degradation like constuction projects, mining and logging...
People are a pretty easy meal if vampire bats are disturbed...

China - They Build Big

What a wonder. I've seen lots of giant buildings, but what they perform in China fascinates! Not only the hight but the shape of their new buildings are just inconceivable...
Such is their business center with two towers bent against each other, reminding you of a huge triangle. It is constructed with earthquake protection technologies, allowing the whole building swing but not ruin during the earth tremor.
We build something like that here, but are our buidings so perfect?
