The Citi PremierPass Card combines the traditional points-per-dollar spent system with an airline frequent flyer program where airline miles are awarded based on distance flown. The result is a unique reward program unlike any other. Catering to people with an excellent credit rating, the card is offered in three flavors - the Citi PremierPass Card - Elite Level, the Citi PremierPass Card and the CitiBusiness PremierPass Card.

With the Citi PremierPass Card, cardholders are eligible for one Thank You Network Point per dollar spent for any and all purchases. Cardholders are also eligible for one point for every mile flown on any airline of their choice. Thank You Flight Points are earned as long as the ticket is bought with the card, regardless of who actually boards the plane.

However, if you have purchased a ticket for yourself and your family on the same flight and utilize your Citi PremierPass Card for payment, only the airline miles for your ticket will be awarded. Nonetheless, this reward program is still alluring as points earned can be redeemed for all types of gifts through Citi’s Thank You Network. Also, even though Thank You Flight Points are not convertible to airline miles, they are redeemable for airline tickets, in exchange for points earned through general purchases.

However, there is a cap set at 100,000 points per year, but the points will not expire as long as cardholders charge at least one purchase every three years to the card in order to keep the account active. Apart from that, this card also offers additional perks such as no annual fees charged and a long 0% introductory rate of 12 months. APR rates are also reasonably low beyond the introductory period, although there is a minimum interest rate incurred for cash advances.

In conclusion, the Citi PremierPass Card offers a good balance of advantages and disadvantages for cardholders. While the perks look pretty attractive, it is the spending habits of the cardholder that will drive these benefits or advantages. In the end, even if the perks are attractive, but a bad-spending habit will just get you into snowballing debt no matter how low the interest rates are.

Your credit report is a statement of your financial status. Whether you are applying for a loan or looking for employment, your credit card will be taken into consideration. Your credit report is compiled by any of the three nationwide companies: Equifax, Experian and Trans Union. A report of all your financial transactions and to whom you owe money is made to these companies by information provider companies - such as banks, insurers, creditors and employers.

Credit Reporting Agencies (CRAs) provide you with a free annual copy of your credit report. CRAs also sell it to employers, banks, insurance companies, and others. Your future financial transactions, therefore, depend completely on your credit report. In this scenario, it becomes imperative that any errors in it must be fixed immediately. For example, most landlords will consider your credit rating before leasing you an apartment. A negative report will, in this case, become a hurdle in your renting an apartment.

A negative report also means that you will have to pay higher premiums for any insurance policies you might wish to purchase. The same holds true for obtaining loans also. There are fewer chances of being granted a loan. Even if you are granted one, you will have to pay higher interest rates.

A negative report also affects your chances for finding suitable employment. This is because employers can access your credit report and if found negative, you not get the opening.

Even if you are employed, a negative report can affect your career adversely. This is because you can be denied further promotions. Apart from these, a correct credit card report protects you from identity theft. This happens when a person gains access to your personal information and opens new credit card accounts using your credit card number and social security number.

When you don’t pay the bills, it will be reported to the CRAs, who will in turn mention it in your credit card report. If such a situation arises, you need to get the problem fixed immediately. Keeping this in mind, you must make sure that the information in your credit card report is accurate, complete and up-to-date.

Today, you will see all types of rewards credit card offers, which at one time were only for the loyal customers of a credit card company. They would offer rewards to customers that used their credit card frequently, paid off their balance, and never had late payments. Today, there are many different types of rewards credit cards, offered up by many of the major credit card companies who are all fighting for your business. Since there are so many credit card companies, they have to come up with some type of gimmick to get you to look at what they have to offer.

Credit card rewards can be a great deal for any consumer who enjoys receiving prizes, cash back, or even trips with points they accumulate by using their credit card. However, if you do not redeem your points they can expire.

The different types of reward credit cards are air miles, cash back, prizes, or a new one on the market known as experience rewards.

An air miles card (sometimes referred to as an airline rewards credit card) allows you to air mile points for every dollar or two dollars that you spend with your rewards credit card. These air miles can be redeemed for airline tickets, hotel accommodations, and car rentals. If you are a frequent flyer, then this type of rewards credit card could give you a wonderful vacation for your entire family. You can also find this type of card with your favorite airline or many of the major credit card issuers. Just be careful to pay attention to the expiration of your points, the destinations the airlines allow you to travel to as well as the various airlines that you can redeem your earned miles on.

The cash back rewards credit card normally gives a percentage back on what you spend at certain stores. This can be awarded either monthly or yearly and usually does not have an expiration date.

The Experience rewards credit card allows you to choose the reward you would like. All you have to do is talk with the concierge and let them know what reward you would like and then they can let you know how many points you will need to be able to obtain that reward.

The problem with every rewards credit card is that they normally have higher interest rates as well as higher annual fees or membership fees than a regular credit card would have. You must be sure that the rewards credit card you choose will really be beneficial to you. If you only fly once or twice a year then a rewards credit card that awards airline tickets, etc… should not be your first choice. By the time, you have accumulated enough points for that trip; your points will have already expired. The same goes for all types of reward credit cards; learn what you can earn and if you will be able to redeem those awards before the expiration date. Then you will really be able to benefit substantially.

Tim grew up riding horses and playing baseball in rural Louisiana. When he was eleven, he accidentally discovered his mother’s deepest secret–that he is the biological son of pro baseball player Tug McGraw. Tim is currently considered the king of country music. He holds twenty number one hits, has sold thirty million albums and was awarded two Grammy’s. Faith has also sold 30 million records and won four Grammy’s.

On Faith

Faith Hill was born in Star, Mississippi on September 21, 1967. Faith Hill’s real name is Audrey Faith Perry and she was adopted. Her last name came when she married Daniel Hill. They divorced in 1991. She grew up singing in her church and at family events. When Faith was nineteen she headed to Nashville to see if she could make a career in country music. Faith Hill was “discovered” working a job at a music publishing company. Her first demo record was cut and the song was called “It Scares Me”.

Faith made her first album with Warner Bros. in 1993. It was titled Take Me As I Am. With the single, “Wild One”, Faith became the first female country music singer to stay on the Billboard as number one for four weeks in a row. In 1995, Faith Hill released her second CD called “It Matters to Me”.

She was recently quoted as saying, “Each day I try to get as much out of life as I can - to keep it real, sincere and very honest. Hopefully, people can get that from my music. And if I’m lucky, one day there will be a little spot carved away somewhere that says I made a contribution.”

On The Couple

In 1996, McGraw teamed up with Warner Brothers and artist Faith Hill for the Spontaneous Combustion tour. It seems that spontaneous combustion is an appropriate description for this couple’s beginnings. Tim McGraw and Faith Hill were married in October 1996. As a couple, they’ve soared to the top of the country charts with romantic duets such as “Let’s Make Love” and “It’s Your Love.” Their ballads are inspired by their real-life love story.

People magazine named Faith Hill as one of the 50 “Most Beautiful People”. McGraw’s “Everywhere” earned the CMA album of the year honors in 1998. “It’s Your Love”, was the first musical partnership between Tim and Faith. “It’s Your Love” held the No. 1 spot Billboard’s country singles chart for six weeks. “It’s” received a CMA vocal event trophy song and single of the year at the ACM Awards that year. More duets followed with Let’s Make Love earning a Grammy.

In 1997, Faith gave birth to their first daughter Gracie. They were gifted with two more daughters in 2001 and 2003. In a very surreal sense, it seems these two were destined for each other. Tim’s biological parentage and Faith’s adoption had to give them a sense of having something profoundly painful, in common. Neither grew up with both of their parents. It makes sense that not only do they share a bond of having suffered somewhat the same experience but that they value their love and their family above all else. Their Soul2Soul II Tour proves to be a representation on their love connection from off stage to on stage.

Soul2Soul II Tour (SS2)

Tim McGraw and Faith Hill’s Soul2Soul Tour 2000 marked one of the industry’s most successful concert tours in history. All venues sold-out and the tour created record box office sales. SS 2000 ended about six years ago. Many have long awaited and anticipated these months now into 2006. Tim and Faith fans knew they would be back.

Soul2Soul II Tour is expected to exceed 80 concert performances and will most definitely include the music that McGraw and Hill have made their trademark over the years. SS2 will be as grand as SS1. Reports coming in say that many of the venues showcasing SS2 have sold out the tickets in ten minutes. It is expected that the set will be outstanding as usual. The couple is known for the use of the round center stage design that allows for all seats in the house to be the best seats in the house. Soul2Soul II Tour will include many of Tim and Faith’s biggest hits and duets. Many fans have reported that their love for each other is obvious on-stage. They send out a powerful vibe that not only entertains but makes many wish they could experience a connection like that of Tim McGraw and Faith Hill.

My 12 year old son is creative and intelligent. He can compose artistic and written works at a level beyond that of many his age. So why can he be so difficult to teach? When using standard curriculum, it can be like pulling teeth to get him to do anything more than the absolute minimum. He races through the lessons, obtaining grades far lower than he is capable of getting, or he easily gets distracted and drags his feet, taking hours to complete what should take minutes. Read on to see how I confronted these problems.

When I took over home schooling my then 10 year old son, I used the traditional curriculum that he had been using previously with his mother. Some of the curriculum worked fine (we still use the Saxon math series) but other traditional home school curriculum just seemed to bring out the worst in my child. He would easily get bored. He would lose focus and often get distracted. After half a year, I started searching for alternatives. When I found new materials, I included my son on the decision making process. He seemed to take a lot more ownership as a result, even though I still had the final say in what what curriculum we finally used. Some of the things we do are listed below.

We use a science encyclopedia purchased at Sam’s Club for science. Why? Of all the books we looked at it was the best text in terms of explaining concepts and relating them to real world phenomena (even though it wasn’t meant to be a school text). We sit down together and read several pages of this science encyclopedia on a concept. Then, I have my son write a 100 word report. He then edits the report and we work on sentence composition. At the end of the term, we print out all the articles to make a 15 page report. In addition to the reports, we do related science experiments together and some of the younger siblings join in. My son loves science!

My son and his younger brother are taught history by my retired father-in-law (who happens to have a major in history). My father-in-law makes use of his library of books and tapes and records
history specials for the boys to watch. Now, my boys and I sit down together at night to watch the evening news - this I believe, is a result of their grandfather discussing current events with them. There is no comparing either of my sons’ current enthusiasm for history with the drudgery of plowing through a traditional school history text the way we used to do.

In addition to completing lessons in english and grammar from a traditional school text, I encourage my son to do some creative writing. He started writing his own kids novel which he has now nearly finished. He is writing some pretty silly stuff which would not be standard fare for any of the english curricula I have seen. But he is writing. In fact he is writing a lot! In 3 months from the time he started writing this novel I have noticed a marked improvement in his writing. When my son’s book is completed, I will publish it online and also have a friend that owns book binding equipment bind up some copies for our family and friends.

In summary, don’t let yourself become boxed in with traditional home school curriculum. There are educational resources all around us if we look hard enough. You don’t have to use a “school” text. Look on your book shelves or go to a local second-hand book store to find books that might serve as good texts. Involve your child in the decision making process. Borrow some materials from your home schooling friends and review the books with your child. Use what will work for both you and your child. Utilize any and all available resources and above all, have fun as you and your child learn!

Michael Sakowski works full time and homeschools his son on the days he is able to work from home. He also has a website,
http://www.schoolinyourhome.com that showcases some of the resources he uses when home schooling.

Whether you are a man or woman, it is only natural that you want to look your best on the big day. After all, one does not get married every day. And it is not every day that so many curious and not very sympathetic pairs of eyes are critically examining every part of you. You do not want those eyes to stick to that broad waistline, that overflowing tummy or that ghastly double chin. If the big day is just around the corner, there are some simple things that you can do to pull that undesirable fat in.

The first thing you have to do is to realize that you cannot get your fat tucked in without some amount of hard work. If you are prepared to do it, here’s what you have to do. The first step is to start a light exercise regimen. Let it not be anything too tough. Just brisk walking for as much of 10 minutes a day will do, especially if you have been sedentary throughout. Use the stairs if you can, and park your car as far away from that store so that you can put in some extra walking.

Certain changes have to be made to your diet too. Start first by getting rid of all those fries and sweet stuff. Sounds too tough - well, think of all those eager eyes staring mercilessly at you! Use natural substitutes instead. Get precut fruits and veggies. You can nibble on these when you are hungry. Having real fruits instead of fruit juices will cut out a large number of calories and will also fill your stomach more. The increased fiber intake is good for your bowels too.

Have gallons of water, if you can! Water will alleviate the sharp pangs of hunger. By dissolving toxins, water will be good for your skin also. Water will remove any dehydration and the skin will take on a beautiful luster.

Control your portions. Eat in a smaller plate. Visual appearances do affect our food intake. If you stuff a smaller plate with food, though the amount you take is lesser, your eye transmits the message that you have eaten a good quantity. Another way to “trick” your body is to eat slowly. It takes about 8 minutes for the brain to tell your stomach that the food you have eaten will suffice. So, take it slowly. Chewing on your food also gives you the kind of satisfaction that aids in reducing food intake. Starting off with a salad or a low fat soup is another great way to cut your food intake. Soups can be very beneficial if they are home made and thick. In addition to giving you lots of vital nutrients, they will also take away the sharp pangs of hunger that urge you to eat more than you actually want.

Snacking in between meals is a good idea. Have a small salad bowl or a low fat cracker plate by your side. It is OK to eat 6 times a day provided your overall intake is lesser than before. Actually, healthy snacks especially those high in fiber will reduce hunger. Never eat after 7 pm. Go to bed on a light stomach. Eat a good and healthy breakfast. Go natural! Substitute white bread with brown.

Most people believe that reducing weight is a very tough job. This is not so. Though you will have to keep yourself hungrier than before, it is possible to lose a lot of extra weight by eating intelligently. Try to replace high fat food with low fat, high fiber natural food like carrots, cucumbers and melons. Having one watermelon for dinner or lunch will greatly cut the number of calories that your body receives. It also works wonders for your skin.

When eating out, snack lightly before you leave. Most people eat very heavily when they feel sharp hunger. They end up feeling stuffed and heavy. Arm yourself against this by eating some salad before you go to a restaurant. Also eat lesser than what you need.

Tilapia is a good diet food that will help you lose weight before the good day. Find a good, simple Tilapia fish recipe on Tilapia.ws a part of the AC tropical fish network.
