Rewards credit cards find a ready market among customers with good and excellent credit. But there are also rewards Visa cards for average/limited credit. On our website you can look through the choicest rewards credit cards available.
Visa credit cards come with different rewards programs under which you can earn points, cash backs, rebates and other incentives. Whichever rewards card you will choose, you will be rewarded for the money you'll spend with it, but please be aware of the APR and fees associated with that card. Consider rewards credit cards that offer competitive APR's and no annual fee.
The latest questions about Visa prepaid & credit cards:
Nowadays banks and credit card companies are very much interested in high school and college students as their customers. The card market is flooded with alluring credit cards specifically designed for students.
Credit card issuers come up with student Visa credit cards that have competitively low APR's and fees and attractive rewards programs to earn points, cash back and rebates for net shopping, gasoline, quick service restaurants, entertainment, and more. Every student can choose a Visa credit card that will fit his or her individual lifestyle.
People often wonder which card is better - Visa or MasterCard. There is no definite opinion, they are pretty much similar. First, it is very important to understand that neither MasterCard nor Visa issues credit cards. They process transactions between the point of sale and your bank. Second, they both have nothing to do with those rewards programs, interest rates, late fees and customer service associated with credit cards. But these networks do arrange such benefits as fraud protection, car rental insurance, travel insurance, purchase protection and more. So, when considering Visa credit cards and MasterCard credit cards, take a closer look at their benefits and decide what is good for you personally.

my boys
Today I took a break from endless hours of editing and spent the day enjoying my boys. I was thinking about how fast summer time seems to be flying by when all of a sudden it hit me… it's not just that summer time is slipping away, my "babies" are growing up much too quickly!!! I need to enjoy the days that I have with them while they still want me around… to play, to cuddle, and to just be there without the constant distractions of every day life. And because every post is better with a picture here is one of my boys from a few days ago.
I noticed it was much too quiet for a house where I'm the only female so when I went to investigate this is what I found. This picture makes my heart happy!

Hi Greg and Tom.
I wish the hair colour was as a result of a supplement, but sadly it is not. It was courtesy of L'real. Someone talked me into trying it and although it had a beneficial effect I thought that it was misleading. So, I have let it grow out and will not be dyeing it again. I don't believe that there is any supplement or treatment that will restore the original colour of our hair. I have tried a number of different ingredients including some traditional chinese medicine herbs and none of them worked although the claims were impressive. Bottom line…is that I now have grey hair and am quite happy with it. Sorry to give false hope guys!
Hi Tom.
Almost 16 years ago I started taking our Total Balance Men's Premium which is now a lot more advanced. However, the male ingredients within the product have only changed slightly. It took over a year for it to get to the stage that I didn't have to get up during the night, and it has stayed that way ever since.
We recently released a new product called Prostate-Support which can be taken with the Total Balance or, on its own. We developed this as a means to give those men who wanted faster results. The higher dose of stinging nettle and saw palmetto combined with the Men's Total Balance is indeed giving good results.
How could you regain your original hair color in two years? In this video 2 years ago you have already had gray hair!
Please share us the secret. Thanks.

Simply amazing!
From the very beginning to several months after surgery, the entire staff was personable, helpful, and went out of their way to make me comfortable. Dr. Coleman especially tailored the surgery to my specific needs and the results were beyond my expectations. They were also very flexible in scheduling my follow up appointment and even when conflicts arose at the last minute, they found a way to see me despite their busy schedule. I cannot imagine having this kind of surgery anywhere else. The entire experience was amazing.

Bella's Birthday Quilt
Last Summer Isabella picked out this blue Heather Ross fabric and wanted me to make something for her. Then she promptly forgot about it. We were in Oregon when she found it and had too many other diversions to be thinking about fabric while on vacation. Unlike her mother who definitely thinks of fabric on vacation.
I decided to make it into a really basic quilt. I didn't want to cut too much into the horses as I think their simplicity adds to their beauty. So last fall I made this quilt and put it away until last week for her 6th birthday. Bella is in a loving horses stage. We pass them a lot on the way to school, and occasionally one rides down our street. She was pretty excited and has snuggled the quilt all weekend.
I just did some very basic in the ditch quilting along all the squares and sashing, then I quilted diagonal lines across the large and small squares. The quilt is backed with a tonal ecru floral. It is throw sized.

text: The Infiniti Q50 Is Being Recalled Due To A Potential Failure Of Its Wonky SteeringMichael Ballaban6/17/16 8:30pmFiled to: RecallsInfiniti Q50Infiniti813EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink The Infiniti Q50's signature party piece is its electronic steering system, which can adjust things like steering ratio and feel on the fly. There's a redundant mechanical system backing it up in case it all falls apart, but what would really suck is if there was some sort of software flaw which could make the whole thing stop working properly, and the mechanical system didn't engage. Which is exactly what Infiniti just admitted could happen in a recall. Advertisement Here's the explanation of what could happen, according to an Infiniti spokesman:In certain rare circumstances, just after starting the vehicle, a software issue the Direct Adaptive Steering system's ECU can lead to a lack of steering responsiveness and a change in turning radius. If this happens, the Direct Adaptive Steering system does not lose the ability to steer the vehicle, therefore the redundant, backup mechanical steering system does not activate. And all of that sounds very bad, and yet it's also very vague! A lack of steering responsiveness? Does the steering not respond? A change in turning radius? Does that mean the car only goes mostly straight? And isn't this exactly what the mechanical steering system is for???? Advertisement We've reached out to an Infiniti spokesperson for further clarification, and will update this post if necessary.Anyways, Infiniti plans on informing its Q50-driving customers at some point over the next month or so. Have fun driving your Q50 until then.Michael firstname.lastname@example.com@ballabanDeputy Editor, Jalopnik. 1991 Yugo.PGP Fingerprint: 0D03 F37B 4C96 021E 4292 7B12 E080 0D0B 5968 F14E|PGP KeyReply81 repliesLeave a reply

There is really nothing intelligent or profound I can say about this week's theme. The Something Awful Forum Goons made some nifty pictures of comically large bugs bein' ornery and participating in daily life. Can't go wrong with that!
It may come as a surprise that Channel_F started this week's Phriday with this very image.
spkelley48 busts it wide open with this image
We certainly can't say that Brand New Dance lacks bees.
Lord Krangdar is hopeful this image scores well with our prime demographic: women ages 60-80.
More fake science from the mainstream scientists: Dr. Schrodinger claims cat is dead, but cat is alive and a dog.
Yeah, I went there. And I'll go there again. Don't believe me? I'm there ALREADY.
These all just look like normal cats to me.
From what I understand, this genre is about getting eaten by crocodiles. I excel at this.
Ah yeah, that's the stuff
Photoshop Phriday showcases the tremendous image manipulation talents of the Something Awful Forum Goons. Each week they tackle a new theme, parodying movies, video games, comics, history, and anything else you can think of. If you want in on the action, join us on the Something Awful Forums!

I'm offering a navy pinstripe Oxxford in a 36R. I am not sure which model this is (it does say Artisan's Seal on the inside tag). The jacket is in absolute pristine condition. The trousers have wear, including a 1 mm pull on a front pocket seam. Could be rewoven, turned in, or just left alone. The pants have also developed a slight sheen, which I have not tried to brush or correct in any other manner. I am currently considering any and all offers. Send a PM if you're even remotely interested. I will sell only the jacket/only the trousers if you'd like. MEASUREMENTS: Shoulder to shoulder: 17" Chest: 40" Length (under back of collar to hem): 30.5" Sleeve from shoulder seam: 25" Trousers measure 31" at the waist, 31.5" inseam with a 1.5" cuff. These pictures are horrendous, I will have new ones up ASAP.

It was hot. Really hot. The sun was searing and to add to the joy, the Tube had announced it was going on a 24hr strike. I joined the hoard of Londoners, emerging from the underground like moles. We blinked into the harsh light of day and stumbled through the streets in search of a bus.
Sometimes we're so caught up in the digital world we forget about the simplest form of communication: eye contact. Last Friday we decided to step away from our screens onto the streets of Shoreditch to find out if we can still #daretostare.

In Berlin, German Engineering and Bratwurst Unite
The Times ran a piece yesterday about Berlin's Grillwalker, the ingenious propane-powered sausage grill that vendors carry like a backpack. Because neither the grill nor the sausages come in contact with the ground, its design allowed Grillwalker's inventor to bypass the permit requirements for street food vending; his salespeople are allowed to roam at will, courting customers like the Pied Piper or a one-man band. Predictably, there have been some turf wars, but none as fierce as New York's halal skirmishes; according to one Berlin blog, "[o]ften those in wheelchairs get more business as they play the pity card."
A Grillwalker unit has already been sold to someone in Nebraska, so presumably, it's only a matter of time before one shows up in Midtown. Apparently, they're pretty easy to lease: On the company website's "Opportunities to exploit the grillwalker" page, interested parties are told they can hire a unit for at least 12 months, at a monthly charge of 400 euros, or about $590, with an 1800 euro ($2,658) security deposit. Which, compared with $54,000 a month, is quite a bargain.

What tyranny!!!
Non sequitur.
What stupidity.
For all the huffing and puffing he does about socialism's critics, we now know he has no idea what socialism is.
What a sad life those live who have no sense of humor.
Oh. It was funny ? Yeah. Missed that.
Lighten up, enjoy the scenery, smell the flowers, take time to enjoy life.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Is it still socialism if they don't plow my street?
Be honest. Treat people with respect. Put up reasonable, coherent, and rational arguments. Admit when you're wrong.
See above.
I don't get the OP's joke.
Well the op is actually a lie. (No surprise there ) It is suggesting that those who refer to many government spending is socialism means that any government spending is socialism. They are trying to suggest that if you are going to call any government spending socialism then you have to call it all socialism.
It just shows they do not understand the issue because they are so blinded by their mafia like socialism.
You did not miss much.
So, you don't like the thread title?
No, Salty. It means you are oppressed. You should riot and loot a store assuming you can get to one.
Will you come and pick me up in your capitalistic snowmobile?
If Salty is a white man, they'd shoot him, hang him, draw and quarter, glue him back together, then burn him at the stake. At the approval of the gov't...
Excuse me - I am a MUTT-AMERICIAN! AND PROUD OF IT.
What is a mutt-american?
I have Irish, English from mom's side...I have English and american Indian from dad's side. Is that what you mean being a mutt-american?
I had Scotch in me once but that was a long time ago.
I'll have to beg off the snowmobile ride, Salty. The sled is up at deer camp where I will be firing my high-powered rifle at Bambi's relatives in the morning. :flower:
well, you could ask Cindy Crawford

The end of the Soviet Union left its newly-independent republics free to pursue their own linguistic policies for the first time. Four of the five predominately Turkic-speaking countries of the former Soviet Union (Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan) looked to follow the lead of Turkey, which adopted the Latin alphabet under Mustafa Kemal Atatürk back in 1928-29. From a practical standpoint, using Latin script would make computer keyboards easier to use and make learning foreign languages employing the Latin alphabet such as English easier, as a large majority of countries around the world have national languages that employ Latin alphabets. It aids in computer usage, since computer coding, computer programming languages, and computer keyboards were designed around the Latin alphabet. From a political standpoint, discarding the Cyrillic alphabets imposed under Soviet rule could serve to distance the then-newly independent countries from Russia and help assert both independence and pan-Turkic solidarity.
The Central Asian republics and Azerbaijan, however, all had previous experience with Latin alphabets. Prior to Soviet rule, the languages in question were written using Arabic script, similar to other languages in the various predominantly Muslim countries of western and central Asia. Between 1927 and 1929, the Soviet Union implemented the Uniform Turkic Alphabet, a Latin script, coinciding with Turkey's move to a Latin alphabet. Indeed, Lenin advocated the eventual conversion of all language scripts in the Soviet Union, including Russian, to the Latin alphabet ('the world alphabet'). In Central Asia, the Uniform Turkic Alphabet had the added meaning of attempting to stifle Islamic influence in the region and secularise the various peoples of the region. However, as Stalin moved away from the idea of 'global socialism' toward a policy of Russification in the 1930s, conversion to Latin alphabets became de-emphasised in favour of promoting the Russian language. Between 1936 and 1940, the Uniform Turkic Alphabet was replaced with individual Cyrillic scripts for each Turkic language in the Soviet Union. Each alphabet included all of the 33 letters used in the existing Russian alphabet (a way to accelerate the teaching of Russian orthography and sounds), as well as extra characters as necessary for sounds not heard in Russian.
A Kazakh newspaper from 1937 printed in Latin script using the Uniform Turkic Alphabet.
Upon the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Azerbaijan was the first of the predominately Turkic-speaking republics to announce a switch back to a Latin alphabet, doing so less than three weeks after the total collapse of the Union in December 1991. Being close both linguistically and geographically to Turkey, in May 1992 Azerbaijan adopted an alphabet similar to Turkish but with three new characters for sounds unique to the Azerbaijani language (Ә, X, and Q) that were represented by different symbols in the original 1920s-era Latin alphabet. Among Turkic language scripts, Azerbaijani is alone in its use of Ә (schwa) rather than Ä to represent the /æ/ sound.
Turkmenistan's infamous late dictator Saparmurat Niyazov (Saparmyrat Nyýazow) also made the move to switch the Turkmen language to a Latin script shortly after independence; just one of the methods Niyazov employed to distance Turkmenistan from Russia and emphasise a separate Turkmen national identity. Initially intended to employ unorthodox characters such as various currency signs (£, $, ¥, ¢) in order to represent phonemes not found in other Turkic languages, the alphabet was reformed in 1995 using diacritical marks. It's hard to say how successful the transition has been given the rather repressive and secretive nature of both the Niyazov regime and the current government under his successor, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow, as little information tends to make it out of the country.
Uzbekistan followed suit with regard to the Uzbek language in 1993. The switchover began in schools, where children were taught the new alphabet first. Schools were followed by newspapers and magazines printed with parallel texts in Cyrillic and Latin. Unlike the (relatively) smooth transition in Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan is still struggling with the transition. People in the younger generation that have graduated school after 2005, having learned to read in Latin, are unable to read the vast amounts of Uzbek language books and newspapers printed in Cyrillic and as such are cut off from the information contained within, and have only a small number of Latin-script books from which to read, hampering literacy. Similarly, older Uzbeks that haven't learned the Latin script can't read newer texts or conduct written discourse with their children, creating a cultural disconnect. The prohibitive costs of translating and reprinting prior works have eaten into the country's education budget. The difficulties have led to the continual postponement of the completion of the switchover.
Unlike Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan has yet to inaugurate the transition back to the Latin alphabet, though its government has stated its intention of doing so at some point. As early as 2006, Kazakh president Nursultan Nazarbayev was openly discussing the idea. One of the issues with conversion is the sizeable ethnic Russian minority in Kazakhstan. While the percentage of Russians in the country has declined steeply over the past 30 years (ethnic Russians once formed the plurality in Kazakhstan with over 40 percent of the population; thanks to mass emigration, that percentage is barely half of that today), the numbers are still substantial enough that getting the country's monolingual Russian speakers to learn Kazakh is important for the government, and keeping the Cyrillic Kazakh script aids in that learning process. Russian is still the major language of business, high education, and much of the country's mass communication and entertainment. There is also the enormous cost of translating books, documents, road signs, and all other printed material from Cyrillic to Latin alphabets while re-educating Kazakh language users along the way, estimated at US$300 million.
On the other hand, replacing the current 42-character Cyrillic script with a smaller alphabet (most Latinised versions of the Kazakh alphabet end up with a character count in the mid-30s, with the most likely candidate for adoption employing 36) would make using computers far easier for Kazakh speakers. Currently, users typing in Kazakh actually have to switch languages on their keyboard in order to use numbers and supplementary characters such as @ or % because the alphabet takes up so many keys. As well, it promotes closer relations with countries in Europe (not only does the westernmost portion of Kazakhstan lie in Europe, but Kazakhstan is also of member of European organisations such as OSCE and UEFA, Last December, the Kazakh government announced that it was resuming its plans to convert the Kazakh language to Latin script, intending to have the crossover complete by 2025.

As for Kyrgyzstan, while there has been occasional talk of switching to Latin, serious talk at the government level has not occurred. Russian remains an co-official language of the country, and relations between the two countries remain rather close, meaning a change in alphabets is unlikely any time soon.

Last week Blue, a developer from Bob tweetted she used MetalliQ with Bob when looking for movies and television shows. I find Blue to be a great resouce for Kodi content and when she speaks, it usually pertains to quality content. So, to the web I went and what I discovered is MetalliQ is from OpenELEQ and much like the Meta add-on, MetalliQ will search your favourite add-ons for content in a one stop shop once configured. Without further delay, let's proceed with this tutorial.
Note: If you are unfamiliar with installing a repository/3rd party add-on in the new version of Kodi aka. Krypton v17, please check out my visual install guide Krypdon v.17 HERE
Step 1:
From the home screen navigate to;
- System (icon top left corner)
Step 2:
This is your System menu window with a much different look from previous xbmc/kodi versions. From the 11 menu items to choose from, locate and select the folder that says
- File Manager
Step 3:
On the Right Panel scroll down and select the menu item that says;
- Add source
Step 4:
Insert the following path exactly as it's written in the field provided;
- https://archive.org/download/OpenELEQ/
- Click ok
Step 5:
Name this Repo .metalliQ and select ok
Step 6:
Navigate back to your home screen and select;
- Add-ons
Step 7:
Select the box icon @ the top left of your screen
Step 8:
- Install From Zip File
Step 9:
From the list, select .metalliQ
Step 10:
Scroll down and select the file that says
- repository.q.zip
If you were successful with installing this Repository, you will get an Add-On Enabled icon the top right corner of your screen. Be patient as this may take a few minutes.
Step 11:
Now, select;
- Install from repository
Step 12:
Scroll down and select
- Q's Repository
Step 13:
- Video Add-ons
- MetalliQ
Step 14:
The Install/Configure/Update Window will open. Select the Install icon in the bottom right corner of your screen
If you were successful with installing this Repository, you will get an Add-On Enabled icon the top right corner of your screen. Be patient as this may take a few minutes.
Step 15:
We now need to configure this add-on before we can use it. Select MetalliQ again. This will open the Install/Configure/Update Window again.Select the
- Configure icon (bottom left corner of your screen)
Step 16:
Proceed with these steps to configure the MetalliQ add-on:
- Select General from the menu items on the left of your screen
- Select TotalSetup and wait for it to finish (may say Rerun TotalSetup)
- Select Movies from the menu items to the left of your screen
- Select Preferred Movie Player to the right of your screen and choose Selector
- Repeat the above step for TV Shows, Music and Live menu items on the left of your screen
- Once you've completed these steps, select OK (top right corner of your screen)
Step 17:
From here, you should be good to go. Head back to your Add-ons Browser window and select
- Video Add-ons
Look for the MetalliQ add-on icon you just installed and select it.
I hope this was helpful. All the best!

Chicken goujons are a delicious meal idea and, when baked, are much healthier than using the traditional method of deep frying. This is a quick recipe that uses mainly cupboard ingredients so is a great fall back when you want a delicious meal in no time at all. If you want to, you can spice the goujons up by adding a little chilli and garlic to the breadcrumbs.
