Financial Loan and Mortgage Crisis Takes $167bln From Central Banks To Hold Off 2007-08-11 05:38:38 Central Banks coughed up over $167 billion in an effort to prevent a financial crisis, in an emergency cash injection that was larger than that after 9/11. The European Central Bank put $131 billion into the market after BNP Paribas, the second biggest French bank suspended their home loan and mortgage operations. Real Full Story Despite mortgage applications increasing 8.1% a week ago many people are still worried, especially if the Fed raises interest rates, and some politicians are calling for action as mortgage companies try to calm the fears in the mortgage market. However market analyst Sam Kirtley of The Gold Prices Newsletter thinks that throwing money at the problem will not help, and may make the situations worse: “This “cash injection” is really just the ECB printing loads of worthless fiat currency and throwing it at the problem, but this will not prevent the coming financial crisis that will hit the credit systems, including mortgages and home loans, particularly ...

Well a new GfK NOP survey that was commissioned by Pontis shows that I am not the only one that hates ads on mobile services. The public have an extremely deep level of dissatisfaction with the way the mobile service providers are marketing to us phone users. The survey shows that: 11% actually admitted to purchasing an item or signed up for a promotion 70% consider the marketing offers not to be relevant 64% of people who viewed mobile ads are reported to find them very annoying So I guess they will keep marketing to us for those 11% that buy something and the other 89% will just have to put up with it.

Billie Piper Suffers Sudden Blindness 2007-08-11 04:09:10 Billie Piper was rushed to hospital after she suffered from a sudden loss of eyesight. It has been said that Billie was dining at The Ivy restaurant in London when her eyes became blurred when she stepped outside to have a cigarette. She then tried to cover her face up when the photographer’s bulbs started flashing and was in obvious discomfort. Billie has said to have panicked when she woke up the following morning and could not open her eyes; she was then taken to Moorfield’s Eye Hospital in Central London. A friend of Billie said that “She’s being looked at but we don’t know the score. It could be that her eyesight has been damaged or that she has some form of infection or other condition.” Experts have said that retinal damage can be caused by camera flashes but this is rare and could serve as a trigger for existing conditions. We hope that Billie regains her eye sight soon. Written by Kerry for Product ReviewsIn Sections: News, Celebrity News ...

Bourne Series vs Star Wars and The Godfather: Best American Film Trilogy 2007-08-10 14:06:30 Today I came across an interesting article that states that the Bourne trilogy is better than the Star Wars Trilogy and The Godfather (I immediately thought what a load of…). They then explained they were not talking about the individual films as The Empire Strikes Back or The Godfather would beat any one of the Bourne movies hands down. Instead they were talking about the way they work as a cohesive trilogy and it’s this combination that gives the Bourne trilogy its brilliance and quality. It’s a great read which you can see in full here, have a read and let us know what you think with a comment below. My opinion still stands that nothing can touch Star Wars.

It has been said that research suggests that as many as one in 58 children may have autism and that autistic people are now using the internet to fight for their right to be accepted as they are rather than be treated or cured and why not they should be treated the same as everyone else.

In the online virtual world of Second Life, Amanda has founded a group called the Autistic Liberation Front. They believe that autism is not a disease which needs to be treated but j ...
