Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows

Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows - This is the first Harry Potter review since I have started this blog. And because I am so fond of the books and films there will probably be more ramblings regarding the series as a whole then the specific quality of the film. Needless to say, since I was introduced to the Harry Potter craze at the first film, I have yet to forgive my parents for not sending me Hogwart's. Ok, I know Hogwart's is not a real place, but the idea of this extraordinary world took me and millions under its spell. The fantasy of Harry, Ron and Hermione takes a dark turn in this first part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. As this book was already strong, I anticipated the film would offer the same connection I found through reading. I felt the division of this book really benefits the story telling of this in-depth conclusion to a series so many are deeply invested in.

I have always found myself to be a bit of kindred spirit with Harry. If you are at all invested in the characters, you are aware that Harry lost his parents at a young age. The real emotions that Harry goes through dealing with that loss are ones I can relate to. I lost a parent in my teens, granted there was no magic involved but it is a tragic process none the less. This installment's plot forces Harry to make peace but also find reason in the deaths of his parents. Again Harry's journey comes down to the differences between good and evil, but a muggle, such as myself, has the same struggles with life and death. Trying to find a greater meaning through the death of a parent is a hopeless search, but one that forces you to find your own strength and discover who you can truly lean on. Not to mention I have my own Hermione, a platonic friend who thinks logically when you cannot and offers support in the best way for you, even when all seems lost. Plus they can see the best in you when you cannot and know just how to pick you back up.

Contactless Debit Cards

Contactless Debit Cards - Contactless debit cards will make their formal debut in Canada next year with the launch of Interac Flash from Acxsys Corp.’s Interac Association, Canada’s national debit network. Interac’s first two Flash issuers are Scotiabank and RBC Royal Bank, which will roll out their first contactless cards next summer. The first acquirer is TD Merchant Services, a unit of Toronto-Dominion Bank. More issuers and acquirers are on the way, an Interac spokesperson tells Digital Transactions News, though no announcements have been made yet. Interac and the banks tested Flash this summer at some high-volume, small-ticket merchants in downtown Toronto. The spokesperson expects national merchants will be making formal announcements about acceptance. “There’s a lot of excitement in the merchant community,” she says. “Merchants are looking for that faster throughput.” In a statement, the Retail Council of Canada endorsed the new card. “Interac Flash is a welcome and needed ...

Homes Losing Value Fastest

Homes Losing Value Fastest - Homeowners with Citigroup loans in foreclosure-rich Virginia Beach, Va., and Orlando, Fla., are in luck. The mortgage giant announced today that it will impose a moratorium on most foreclosures and modify $20 billion in mortgages to enable homeowners who are not behind on their loans, but in danger of falling behind, to avoid foreclosure. Those that don't fall under the plan? They're in hot water. Well, underwater. Virginia Beach homeowners who bought homes this year possess a paltry 5.2% of home equity, and 34.5% owe more on their property than it's worth, according to Zillow.com, a real estate research group. That's the worst rate in the country. Even in Orlando and Miami, two cities hammered by bad loans and home-equity dips, only 30% and 29% of homeowners are underwater, respectively. It's a similar story in El Centro, Calif., Bakersfield, Calif., and Cumberland, Md. What's certain to follow? Foreclosures. "Negative...
