In een kort overzicht vind u hier de verschillende leenvormen. Voor de alle duidelijkheid staan hier de verschillen in het kort opgesomd.
RekenvoorbeeldDe familie De Vries wil een lening aanvragen voor de verbouwing van de badkamer. Voor deze verbouwing willen ze € 5000,00 lenen. De familie De Vries wil zekerheid wat betreft de maandelijkse rente en wil tussentijds geen geld meer opnemen. Ze kiezen daarom voor een persoonlijke lening.
Jan en Anita willen meer financiële bestedingsruimte. Tussentijds willen ze geld kunnen opnemen. Wanneer er meer geld beschikbaar is, willen ze ook de mogelijkheid hebben om meer af te lossen. Ze kiezen voor een doorlopend krediet.

Lening vormen
Doorlopend kredietWat is een doorlopend krediet?Een doorlopend krediet is er om over langere periode meer bestedingsruimte te hebben. U mag steeds geld opnemen tot aan de kredietlimiet, maar u mag ook minder opnemen.
Tussentijds mag er altijd zonder boete worden afgelost. Dit krediet is handig wanneer u nog niet exact weet hoeveel geld u nodig heeft of wanneer u het geld nodig heeft. U betaald elke maand een vast bedrag aan rente en aflossing.
Voordelen:- Alleen rente betalen over het opgenomen bedrag- Tussentijds extra geld aflossen (boetevrij)- Meestal een eigen bankpas
Oversluiten van een doorlopend krediet:U heeft een lening of misschien wel meerdere leningen lopen. Het is dan vaak voordeliger om uw huidige krediet(en) over te sluiten. In plaats van verschillende afschriften, komt alles dan op één handig overzicht.
Tussentijds een extra krediet afsluiten:Wanneer u geen achterstand hebt opgelopen met betalen en uw financiële situatie laat het toe, is het mogelijk om een nieuwe lening af te sluiten voordat de vorige is afgelopen. Een deel van het bedrag dat u leent, wordt dan gebruikt voor de aflossing van de vorige overeenkomst(en).
Verhogen doorlopend kredietHet kan voorkomen dat naast uw doorlopend krediet nog behoefte is aan een extra financiële reserve. U kunt er dan voor kiezen om het bestaande krediet open te breken en vervolgens uw krediet te verhogen.
Persoonlijke lening
Wat is een persoonlijke leningBij de persoonlijke lening krijgt u in één keer de beschikking over het geleende bedrag. Wanneer u een persoonlijke lening afsluit, weet u precies wanneer de lening eindigt. U spreekt namelijk van tevoren een looptijd af. Zo spreekt u bij een persoonlijk krediet eenmalig een leenbedrag en een looptijd af. U krijgt dit bedrag in één keer op uw rekening gestort. Vervolgens betaald u maandelijks een vast bedrag aan rente en aflossing. In tijden van rentestijgingen biedt een persoonlijk krediet u zekerheid, want uw rente blijft ongewijzigd! Zo weet u precies waar u aan toe bent.Bent u van plan een nieuwe auto of caravan te kopen? Of wordt het tijd voor nieuwe meubels? Wellicht heeft u hiervoor gespaard, maar is het genoeg? Wanneer u extra geld nodig heeft, maar graag overzicht houdt in uw financiën, is een persoonlijke lening voor u een oplossing!
Voordelen:- Uitbetaling direct ineens- Vast rentepercentage- Vast maandbedrag- Vaste looptijd
Vaste renteWanneer de rente stijgt is een persoonlijke lening ideaal. Mocht de rente stijgen, dan heeft dit geen enkele invloed op de persoonlijke lening. Deze rente blijft ongewijzigd.
Stel u koopt een auto. Bij een persoonlijke lening spreekt u van tevoren af wat de looptijd van de lening is. U kunt deze lening bijvoorbeeld afstemmen op de levensduur van uw auto. Hierdoor voorkomt u dat de auto al is afgeschreven, maar u nog steeds moet betalen aan uw persoonlijke lening.

Spaarkrediet
Een spaarkrediet is een doorlopend krediet, gekoppeld aan een kapitaalverzekering.
Doorgaans betaald u voor een doorlopend krediet maandelijks een bedrag aan rente en aflossing. Bij een spaarkrediet betaald u echter alleen rente, die wordt berekend over het bedrag dat u heeft opgenomen. Gedurende de gehele looptijd kunt u tot uw kredietlimiet bedragen blijven opnemen.Daarnaast betaald u een maandelijkse premie voor een kapitaalverzekering.Met deze verzekering kunt u een kapitaal opbouwen om de lening af te lossen.Dit gebeurt met een kapitaalverzekering bij een gerenommeerde verzekeringsmaatschappij. De uitkering is gelijk aan de eindwaarde van de participaties en dus afhankelijk van de koersontwikkeling.
Rentekrediet
Een rentekrediet is een leenvorm voor particulieren die veel lijkt op een doorlopend krediet. Het grootste verschil is dat men bij een rentekrediet niet verplicht wordt om maandelijks af te lossen. Daardoor is het rentekrediet de leenvorm met de laagste maandlast. Deze leenvorm wordt ook vaak gebruikt om geld achter de hand te hebben, zoals bij een verbouwing of restauratie van bijvoorbeeld een oldtimer of ander duur verzamelobject. De looptijd van een rentekrediet is in principe oneindig. U lost immers niets af en betaald alleen rente. Ingezetenen van Nederland van 18 tot 65 jaar met een vast inkomen, wat niet mag bestaan uit een uitkering van de sociale dienst of de WW, kunnen in aanmerking komen voor een rentekrediet.

Travelogue Wye Valley Walk with 33 photos
Hiking upstream along the Wye river in Wales, surrounded by green and with great views; without straining climbs, passing through the occasional nice village, sometimes even without a store. There are few other hikers, but lots of sheep. You cross beautiful and sometimes quirky bridges over the Wye, again and again, while the river gets narrower and the hills higher, until you reach the Cambrian Mountains. 33 photos.

Skie,ski,kayak,the skiing

La Grave and the massif of La Meije offer the biggest lift-accessed off piste skiing in the world! Not only that but it is one of the few massifs which has an incredible 2150m 2300m of (7050ft) vertical drop. This off-piste mountain range can provide exhilarating skiing terrain for the advanced skier, snowboarder and tele-marker. The Skiers Lodge is perfectly positioned within only 3 minutes walk to the lift! This lift ascends from the village at 1400m to stations at 1800m, 2400m, 3200m, and finally to Dome de la Lauze, “the Glacier”, at 3550m. A typical ski descent offers limitless variety from tame to steep terrain commencing on this glacier, proceeding down spectacular open bowls, winding its way through small chutes, crossing glacial moraines into seemingly endless steeps and deeps in the serenity of the forest. Legendary descents from the Girose glacier, with direct lines of 2300m explain why so many riders come back year after year to enjoy free-riding with one of the most spectacular mountain scenery in the Alps. FMGA Mountain Guide Pelle Lang, the founder of Skiers Lodge, has come across this spectacular mountain village during his search for big mountain skiing. His dream was to create a lodge owned and operated by skiers for skiers. In 1989 this dream becomes a reality. "Careful thought is given to the itineraries that are chosen for each day. The goal is to keep clients challenged by the terrain, but not terrified by the surroundings."he Skiers Lodge Guide Service, for which Pelle works daily as the chief guide, represents the ski part of the concept. The ambition is to create a good chemistry between guides and skiers. Careful thought is given to the itineraries that are chosen each day. The goal is to keep clients challenged by the terrain, but not terrified by the surroundings. La Grave, de la Meije is not a ski resort. Ski resorts adapt to skiers whereas here the skier must adapt to the mountain. This is best achieved by the guidance received from the experienced guides within the Guide Service allowing the client to enter terrain otherwise inaccessible to him/her in a safe manner. All guests are given safety equipment which they are trained to use. Groups are limited to 5 persons ensuring a good level of safety and allowing for different skiing pace. All guides are qualified by the IFMGA and speak English, French, German and Swedish. In close proximity to La Grave there are many resorts with their own micro climates and our guide team may propose one of numerous possible day trips all within an hour’s drive.

Weather and snow conditions permitting why not try the phenomenal heliskiing in Alta Val Susa (Italy). The Skiers Lodge Guide Service is willing to show riders what it considered to be the best lift access free riding in the world. All it takes is a spirit of adventure for you to share in the ultimate riding experience. A revolution in attitude, style and equipment is making the sports of skiing and snowboarding better than ever.When international ski manufacturers launched their new breed of Extreme Skis, La Grave was the chosen spot. A combination of its long ski runs, its varied terrain and its untouched and unspoiled routes, has given birth to a freedom a freedom to create and shape exciting new styles, attitudes and equipment. Local riders long ago adopted a Free Rider attitude. This means taking responsibility for ones actions on the mountain. As the world of skiing and snowboarding pushes the limits of equipment, the industry pops out more modern equipment with a design and understanding of the 21st century rider. It is now easier than ever to float in the deepest powder, to hold an edge on the steepest terrain and to leave pencil-like tracks of a groomed snow surface

Today`s city was established in 1558, when on the island Dolgui (Long) a wooden fortress was built. Later there appeared a stone kremlin with the walls of 1,5 km long, 11 m high and 5 m large at the base. Near the kremlin a white-stone city was founded.
Under Peter the Great Astrakhan became the centre of the province of Astrakhan. Peter initiated the creation of the navy for the Caspian Sea, and in 1722 the tsar arrived in Astrakhan to head the campaign for capturing the west coast of the Caspian Sea. In the middle of the 17th c.and in the early 18th c. industry and navigation developed in the city.
Now Astrakhan is a major industrial and transport centre.
12 km to the north of the modern city stretches the hill called “Shareny hillock”. It was the site of the Old Astrakhan known as Khadji Tarkhan. In 1395 the site was assaulted by Timur`s troops and destroyed completely. In the middle of the 15th c. the city was reconstructed and became the capital of Astrakhan khanate. In 1556 the region was easily taken by Ivan`s troops and in 1558 a city was founded on the new site where it stands actually.

Frankurt is one of the best industrial metropolis, Germany's fifth-largest city and Goethe's hometown. Frankurt is known with many museums, among them a world-class opera and theatres the first-class "English Theatre", and a world-class opera. Reaching and leaving Frankfurt is easy. Frankurt has excellent connectivity between railways, airlines and highways. It is the national transportation hub.
The weather in Frankurt is not very strange; like for very hot summer days around 35 degrees as well as for light rain. The winters can be cold and rainy but there is hardly any snow inside Frankfurt itself.
Frankfurt is home to many museums, theatres (among them the first-class "English Theatre"), and a world-class opera. You have several cultural activities. There are various fireworks displays throughout the year. Frankfurt can have quite beautiful sunsets. Caused by the air pollution gathered in the valley it is situated in, they are a good photo opportunity, especially with Frankfurt's skyline. Good avantage points are the bridges, or of course the Maintower high-rise.
If you have more time to spend, Frankfurt is a perfect starting point for daytrips up the Rhine river towards Rudesheim or Heidelberg and only a 30 minutes train trip away from Wiesbaden, Mainz or Marburg.

Miami’s streets are often busy, some of its attractions often attract crowds, and a few days can leave more to choose from than you have time to include, so knowing the active options in advance—and how to manage your time and movements—is essential Miami planning. Making the best use of what time you have by knowing where your points of interest are can help you save more of your energy for the activities this city offers...read more about

Miami is a sunny, brash metropolis with very distinctive charm. Mostly known for the long Florida coastline, South and Miami Beaches, the strip’s restored art deco, pastel architecture and palm trees reflect appropriately on the sand and surf.
The outlying areas include Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, Little Havana and downtown. Unlike many major cities, Miami’s major draws do not come from the urban settings of skyscrapers and main streets.
These areas tend to be quite segregated by economics and ethnicity. Key Biscayne is a small, plush neighborhood, mostly reserved for the affluent. Little Havana is largely Cuban and not half as tourist-friendly. Coconut Grove and Coral Gables both offer nice resorts and lavish gardens.
Indulgence seems to be the theme here, perfect Florida weather, shopping, dining and drinking, and so on are some of the favorite pastimes. Some museums, galleries and other cultural notables are scattered around South Beach as well.

Table GamesWhether you are a novice player or a serious gambler, The Mirage has something for everyone.The Mirage has non-smoking tables available
BaccaratAlthough traditionally the grandest of all table games, Baccarat is a simple game of chance. Players may sit in any of the 12 open seats at the table, as seating position does not affect the play in any manner. Those participating in the game may place a wager on either the bank or the player. Two hands, of two cards each, are dealt from the baccarat ‘shoe.’ Later, a third card may be required for either hand. The first hand represents those betting on the player, while the other hand represents those betting on the bank. The winning hand is the one which totals the closest to 9. Tens, cards totaling ten, or picture cards count as nothing or 0. All other cards count as their face value. If the cards total a two-digit number, the last digit counts as the value of the hand. For example, 7+8=15, counts as 5 in baccarat.Play begins when the shoe is passed to the first customer, who then deals the cards under the supervision of the dealers. Four cards are dealt alternately from the shoe starting with player. If a third card is required for either or both hands, the dealer calls for it. Once the play begins, pre-established rules determine the draw.All wagers for the bank or player pay even money. Winning bank bets are charged a five percent commission. You may also wager that the bank and the player will draw hands that tie. This wager pays 9 for 1.The Mirage also offers Midi-Baccarat and Mini-Baccarat games.BlackjackBlackjack is one of the most popular casino games. The Mirage offers traditional shoe games, continuous shufflers, and single- and double-deck games. The object of the game is to draw cards that total as close to 21 as possible without going over. Each player receives two cards and the dealer receives two cards: one card face up and one down. Tens, Jacks, Queens, and Kings count as ten and aces may count as one or eleven. All other cards count as face value.Players may elect to stand or hit their hands. If a player hits and his or her total is more than 21, the player "busts" or loses. If the dealer "busts" and the player does not, then the player wins. The player wins if their total is closer to 21 than the dealer's total. If the player and dealer have the same total, it is a tie or “push.”When a player receives an ace and a ten-value card as his or her first two cards, the player has "Blackjack" and wins three to two on the bet unless the dealer also has Blackjack, then it would be a push.The following rules apply at The Mirage:• Players may double down on any two cards. • Players may re-split pairs, but no more than four hands may develop. • When splitting aces players receive only one card on each ace. • Players may double down after a split (except when splitting aces). • Aces may be re-split on shoe and continuous shuffle games. • Late surrender is offered on shoe and continuous shuffle games.Crazy 4 PokerCrazy 4 Poker features heads-up play vs. the dealer and two bonus bets. You can also triple down against the dealer with a pair of aces or better. Speaking of aces, four of them trigger the top jackpot – 200 to 1 for the Super Bonus and 50 to 1 for the Queens Up Bonus.CrapsCraps is one of the fastest moving and most exciting casino games today. A crew of three dealers, each with specific tasks, attends to players as they place bets while a player rolls the dice. Players are welcome to place as many or as few different bets as they choose. The Mirage offers very competitive odds on our craps tables.RouletteThe Mirage offers both single zero and double zero roulette wheels. Players bet with colored roulette chips designated for each roulette table. The dollar value for each chip is determined at time of buy-in.There are 36 numbers plus 0 and 00 and many combinations of numbers on which to place bets. Additional bets include: red/black, even/odd, 1 to 18, 19 to 36, first dozen, second dozen, third dozen, and column bets.The dealer spins the ball. If it lands on a number on which a player has placed a chip the player wins. The payout is determined by how many numbers are covered by a player's chip.Pai GowPai Gow is played with domino-like tiles. Four tiles are dealt to each player, the dealer, and each vacant position at the table. Dice are shaken and the total on the dice is used to determine which position receives the first hand. The object of the game is to create two hands that are both higher than the bank hand. If one hand is higher than the bank hand and one lower then it is a push. Bets are paid even money and the house collects a 5% commission on all winning wagers.Pai Gow PokerAs the name implies, this unique game combines elements from Pai Gow and Poker. Players use a traditional deck of 52 playing cards plus one joker, which acts only as an ace or to complete a straight, flush, or straight flush. Players use the seven cards dealt to them to create two hands; one high hand of five cards and a second hand of two cards. As in Pai Gow, both hands must be higher than the bank to win. The house collects a 5% commission on all winning wagers.Let it Ride™ Stud PokerHere's a poker game that doesn't wear a poker face.

WPT All-In Hold 'EmWPT All-In Hold 'Em provides the same exciting hold ‘em experience that millions of people watch on television...only there's no intimidation in pulling up a chair here.

The Flying Luxury Hotel


Tomorrow's cruise ship will sail through the air, not the water
By Joshua Tompkins Posted 02.05.2006 at 3:00 am 0 Comments
LIFTOFF!: Even though the Aeroscraft dwarfs the largest commercial airliners, it requires less net space on the ground than any plane because it doesn't need a runway. The airship takes off and lands like a helicopter: straight up and down. Photo by John MacNeill
This is not a Blimp. It's a sort of flying Queen Mary 2 that could change the way you think about air travel. It's the Aeroscraft, and when it's completed, it will ferry pampered passengers across continents and oceans as they stroll leisurely about the one-acre cabin or relax in their well-appointed staterooms.

Unlike its dirigible ancestors, the Aeroscraft is not lighter than air. Its 14 million cubic feet of helium hoist only two thirds of the craft's weight. The rigid and surprisingly aerodynamic body-driven by huge rearward propellers-generates enough additional lift to keep the behemoth and its 400-ton payload aloft while cruising. During takeoff and landing, six turbofan jet engines push the ship up or ease its descent.

This two-football-fields-long concept airship is the brainchild of Igor Pasternak, whose privately-funded California firm, Worldwide Aeros Corporation, is in the early stages of developing a prototype and expects to have one completed by 2010. Pasternak says several cruise ship companies have expressed interest in the project, and for good reason: The craft would have a range of
several thousand miles and, with an estimated top speed of 174 mph, could traverse the continental U.S. in about 18 hours. During the flight, passengers would peer at national landmarks just 8,000 feet below or, if they weren't captivated
by the view, the cavernous interior would easily accommodate such amenities as luxury staterooms, restaurants, even a casino.

To minimize noise, the aft-mounted propellers will be electric, powered by a renewable source such as hydrogen fuel cells. A sophisticated buoyancy-management system will serve the same purpose as trim on an airplane, allowing for precise adjustments in flight dynamics to compensate for outside conditions and passenger movement. The automated system will draw
outside air into compartments throughout the ship and compress it to manage onboard weight.

The company envisions a cargo-carrying version that could deliver a store's worth of merchandise from a centralized distribution center straight to a Wal-Mart parking lot or, because the helium-filled craft will float, a year's worth of supplies to an offshore oil rig. "You can land on the snow, you can land on the water," Pasternak says. "It's a new vision of what can be done
in the air."
