Halloween is nearly three months away, but a frighteningly good band nevertheless will haunt the stage Thursday at Newby's.
Here Come the Mummies is a Nashville funk-rock outfit that, since its founding around 2000, has been winning rave reviews for its colorful, energetic live stage shows and expertly executed albums, including its recently released sixth, Cryptic. Overshadowing all that, however, is the fact that the band is made up of mummies, those head-to-toe-wrapped undead creatures of ancient Egypt that caused Brendan Fraser so much trouble on the silver screen.
The story goes that the members of the band were musicians in ancient Egypt who ran afoul of the pharaoh.
"Like most musicians, we chase ladies," says percussionist Java Mummy, the group's spokes-mummy. "Unlike most musicians, we happened across the daughters of a pharaoh. Some dads chase the boys away with a bat; others curse them into mummy-dom."
Thousands of years later in 1922, Professor Dumblucke IV dug them up, unleashing the horn-driven 12-piece band on the world to fulfill their mission of finding the ultimate musical riff that will at last put their souls to rest. Decades later, that quest led them to funk music.
"Actually, we think of ourselves as more of a rock band, though thrusting pelvis is always at the forefront regardless of the style," Java says. "We have always played the style best suited to make the ladies dance. While that style has evolved, its consequence has not; thus, we are still at it."
Here Come the Mummies (the name is a play on the title of the pilot episode of the '60s TV show "The Monkees") are hardly the first musicians to adopt silly alter egos. Beyonc had her Sasha Fierce and Garth Brooks his ill-considered Chris Gaines persona. Locally, groups like the Oblivians, the Delta Queens and many more have engaged in similar illusions.
But rarely has the conceit been so successfully adopted and stubbornly adhered to. The band and their handlers refuse to acknowledge anything other than their cover story, conducting all interviews in character and stonewalling inquiries about the members' actual identities.
Of course, it's almost impossible to keep secrets in the age of Google, and even a cursory Internet search turns up a half-dozen names of suspected members of Here Come the Mummies, all ace Nashville sidemen, including some Grammy winners, who for whatever reasons contractual, artistic or just eccentric may have chosen to keep their participation in the group under wraps, so to speak.
Someday, the bandages will come off, Java promises, and when they do, "you better bring a broom."
Aside from the occasional spooky sound effect or horror-slanted lyric, the contrivances mostly fall away on the musical level, revealing a band with a grasp of funk-pop history worthy of a 5,000- year-old, embracing James Brown, the Gap Band, the Commodores, Santana, the Doobie Brothers, KC & the Sunshine Band and many more.
Here Come the Mummies released its first album, Terrifying Funk From Beyond the Grave, in 2002. Since then, the band has had songs featured in several films and TV shows, most notably "Scrubs," which utilized its 2003 Latin-tinged song "Dirty Minds." The band has appeared on the syndicated morning radio show "The Bob & Tom Show" and in 2009 released a live DVD. (They have plans to shoot another one this October at Nashville's War Memorial Auditorium.)
Here Come the Mummies' latest album, Cryptic, released in May, is another eclectic but soulful collection. Whether on the old-school funk floor-filler "Chaperone,' the '80s synth-pop jam "Devil Better Run" or the reggae-inflected "Cruel Old Sun," it maintains the band's focus on good-time dance music.
"We could not be more proud of Cryptic," Java says. "It represents us perfectly by combining sexy metaphor with groovy tunes from rough to sweet. If there is one thing we have learned, it is that everybody loves a sexy mummy."
Here Come the Mummies with Young Pretty Thieves

Mourinho bids Madrid fans fond farewell
Jose Mourinho bid farewell to Real Madrid's fans ahead of his last game on Saturday, and then received a mix of cheers and jeers hours later when he took to the Santiago Bernabeu pitch.
Before the match, the Portuguese coach gave a short goodbye in a statement on Madrid's website after a three-year stint in the Spanish capital.
''I wish all of Real Madrid's supporters much happiness in the future,'' Mourinho said. ''I want to thank many fans for their support, and I respect the criticism of others. I repeat, happiness to all, and above all, good health. Hala (Forward) Madrid!''
After Madrid beat Osasuna 4-2, Mourinho stepped forward and waved with both hands towards the section where Madrid's ultras were before disappearing back into the tunnel.
Spanish media reported that he returned to the pitch later to personally thank the ultras after they called for him to come back out.
Mourinho waited in the tunnel until kickoff before emerging and quickly settling into the dugout. But he was soon on his feet in the area and surrounded by a pack of photographers that stadium security had to usher back.
The reception from the home fans was divided between Mourinho's die-hard supporters, including Madrid's ultras, who held up signs like ''Thanks for Everything Mou'' and chanted his name. Another segment of fans, meanwhile, whistled in protest, largely upset with the manager's treatment of certain players, the team's lack of major titles this season, and his claims that he is not ''loved'' in Spain.
Mourinho maintained his media silence after the match, avoiding yet another press conference since club president Florentino Perez announced last week that he agreed to release him from his contract.
Mourinho, who in his career has won the Champions League twice and league titles in Portugal, England, Italy, and Spain, is expected to return to Chelsea in the Premier League next season.
After winning the Copa del Rey in his first season and the Spanish league in his second, Mourinho and the club agreed to part ways following a third season with only the Spanish Supercup to add to the trophy case.
Mourinho has been heavily criticized for his benching of captain and goalkeeper Iker Casillas this season, and has had run-ins with other players like Pepe.
Other Madrid players wished Mourinho well and even lamented that they let him down.
''Am I sorry that Mourinho is leaving? Yes, I am sorry because he had given his all for Madrid,'' defender Alvaro Arbeloa told GOL television. ''He worked so hard for us and it's a pity that we weren't able to take full advantage of these three years to win more titles.''
Madrid was locked into a second-place finish for weeks after falling behind champion Barcelona from the start of the season. It finished 15 points behind its fierce rivals. It was also eliminated in the semifinals of the Champions League for the third straight season under Mourinho, and lost the final of the Copa del Rey to crosstown rival Atletico Madrid.

Last week Charlotte beat Campbell 52-7. Saturday the 49ers beat Chowan 47-7.
They've played eight quarters and they've scored in each. The victories have been video-game easy, Madden if you know what you're doing.
The 49ers do. Their performances are such that, based on the reaction in the press box at Jerry Richardson Stadium, they might get a few votes in the AP poll.
Somebody Tweeted during Saturday's game that Charlotte should join the SEC. That's absurd. Why not proceed straight to the NFC South?
Here's what we know two games into Charlotte's so-far legendary football history: Their opponents have been woefully undermanned. It's like a tall athletic big brother playing basketball in the driveway with his smaller, younger, less athletic brother.
Charlotte's running backs ran over the Chowan defenders. The 49ers rushed 38 times for 227 yards, an average of 5.3 yards per carry and ripped off runs of 41 and 31 yards.
And they never had to run. Their receivers found openings and man, did quarterback Matt Johnson put the ball where the receivers wanted it. Johnson, the redshirt freshman, was 23 of 30 for 256 yards and five touchdowns. Some quarterbacks couldn't compile those numbers if they were on the field with their receivers and nobody else.
Somebody asks Johnson if he challenged Peyton Manning, who threw seven touchdowns for Denver Thursday.
"Ah, nah," Johnson says. "No Peyton Manning."
Later, Johnson would say he had no idea he threw five touchdown passes. And he meant it.
Here's what else we knew: The 49ers are fast. They have receivers and defenders and return men who can fly.
Although Saturday was the closest game in Charlotte major football history, the 49ers again dazzled. Fans again showed up early. Walk through the crowd and it's a reunion as much as a football game. People who hadn't seen each other in the five years or decade since they walked off campus have a reason to come together and hang out again.
Attendance, however, declined from the program opener. A standing-room-only crowd of 16,630 showed up for Campbell. Only 16,598 fans showed up Saturday.
Next week the 49ers get N.C. Central. The Eagles will be faster than Campbell or Chowan, says Charlotte linebacker Micah Bryan. Bryan, a junior, was singularly disruptive against Chowan with six tackles, an interception, a sack and a fumble recovery. He took off with the fumble and he would have scored. He says so. But the ball was knocked loose.
Bryan, like Johnson, says he wants a close game.
"I'm ready for our defense to be pushed and our offense to see the tempo go up," he says.
Video games are fun. But a challenge, especially if the 49ers are successful, will be considerably more satisfying.
If the Eagles don't challenge the 49ers, James Madison will Sept. 21. The Dukes, ranked 15th in the Football Championship Subdivision, have advanced to the playoffs five times in nine seasons.
James Madison is in Harrisonburg, Va., about five hours northeast, and on that night, in that place, the 49ers will be outmanned. It's tough to think of James Madison as evil, but talented opponents tend to be.
Yet to presuppose something bad will happen is to throw a party and think about the people who don't show.
The people who show up, on the field and in the bleachers, who listen on the radio and watch on TV, are the ones who count.
Charlotte's victories have been festive.
The 49ers are entertaining, innovative and, who knows, Among Other Teams Receiving Votes.

But a third view him unfavorably, more than the 20 percent who had an unfavorable opinion of him in the previous poll. That previous poll showed Lamontagne with an insignificant advantage on the ballot test, 33 percent to 31 percent, with 35 percent undecided. The poll of 600 likely voters was conducted Sept. 27-30 by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 03/18/13 -- The Fraser Institute will release a new report examining the economic consequences of extending low-income tax benefits to middle earners on Tuesday, March 19 at 6:30 a.m. (Eastern).
"The explosion in eligibility for federal tax credits in the U.S., particularly the Earned Income Tax Credit and the Child Tax Credit, has increasingly sheltered middle-income families from contributing even nominally to society's overall tax bill," said Jason Clemens, Fraser Institute executive vice-president and co-author of Tax Payers and Tax Takers.
"This is a warning for Canada, which implemented two similar tax credit programs and has already expanded both of them."
A news release with additional information will be issued via Marketwire at 6:30 a.m. (Eastern) on Tuesday, March 19.
The full report will also be available as a free PDF download at www.fraserinstitute.org.

This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Room was punishingly small. Believe they have some larger rooms. Ours was so small you could hardly walk round the small double bed. Room safe didn't work and zero flexibility for late check out. This said good value for well located London Hotel.

It basically had everything that one requires. It was comfortable and peaceful. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was good and the service excellent. What else can you ask for? - Anonymous
Easy access and cool for holidays. - Moorosi
Is an oldish rambling property on a steep hill not too far from the
central beach area. Not the easiest place to find because the
authorities have changed the name of the street but worth finding.
Pleasant greeting and shown around the site efficiently. The rooms are
in an older style but kept clean and everything worked as it should. The
pool is not very large but clean and surprisingly warm. The 'honesty'
bar was pleasant with a few interesting motoring books to read whilst
sinking a few beer - Anonymous
Everything in the surrounding hotel is there. The sea front, beach activites, cable car, casino, staduim, food bank , resturants, the view is breathtaking and fantasic weather.. - Stephen

Cloudscaling is the leading provider of OpenStack-powered IaaS for private and hybrid cloud solutions. We believe companies across industries will require open source IaaS to cost-effectively support a new class of dynamic cloud-based workloads, enable the DevOps model and to be competitive. Cloudscaling is committed to helping make that a reality. Through our products, services and thought leadership, we help organizations transform to the new IT model.
Cloudscaling is a founding member of the OpenStack Foundation and Co-Founder and CEO Randy Bias is a charter member of the Foundation Board. The Cloudscaling team is actively involved with shaping the future of OpenStack, both on the foundation board and in day-to-day code contribution, so we can provide trusted guidance on how to align your IT strategy and roadmap with what's coming next from the project.
Open Cloud System (OCS) is a complete Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) solution powered by OpenStack technology. OCS provides an operating system to manage compute, storage and networking in the cloud and exposes open, web-based RESTful APIs for applications to manage cloud resources. With OCS, customers get the benefit of full OpenStack project compatibility delivered in a proven solution and supported by cloud experts. Part of our job as a vendor is to keep an eye on what's happening in the community and to use good curatorial judgment in deciding which pieces to bring into the Cloudscaling system and when. (We watch very carefully what is happening at the big scale-out web companies as basically a prediction of what more traditional enterprises are going to need in the future).
With a systems approach that implements both architectural and behavioral compatibility with leading public cloud services, OCS delivers cost-efficient infrastructure, modular scalability and production-grade features. Certified HW reference architectures de-risk and expedite your OCS deployment, but we are flexible and can work with any HW in your data center. The four key benefits of OCS include:
Companies across industries such as Web, new media & entertainment, financial services, and retail are leveraging OCS to create operational efficiency, drive new revenue and achieve competitive advantage. Whether it's agile infrastructure for application development teams, big data processing or mobile & web application delivery, organizations are using OCS as an alternative or complement to costly and complex enterprise virtualization systems.
Cloudscaling is also used by communication service providers (Telcos, MSOs and Cable Operators) seeking to capitalize on the market for cloud infrastructure services and deliver new, dynamic cloud applications to their customers.
Virtualization only gets an organization so far. True it allows IT to reduce capital expenses through massive consolidation (reducing HW, power, cooling and space requirements). Cloud infrastructure delivers the benefits of virtualization, but also takes organizations a step further by shifting the focus from just cost efficiency to driving business agility. Cloud capabilities such as automated provisioning and self-service, metering and chargeback, automated monitoring, secure multi-tenancy and elasticity all significantly reduce operational costs across the enterprise, above and beyond the simple consolidation of virtualization. (this can add enormous value when considering the state of IT budgets today, with approximately 72% of budgets allocated to ongoing maintenance and just 28% invested in new projects). Without a new platform for agility like private clouds, that maintenance to innovation ratio will only grow wider.
OpenStack is most typically deployed as a "greenfield" environment, rather than being additive to an existing enterprise virtualization deployment. Typically organizations will have a specific set of private cloud requirements that are suited to OpenStack's strengths, serving a different use case than the organization's main virtualization environment.
IDC analysts predict that by 2020, server growth will bubble up by 10x and information growth will increase by 14x. At the same time, IT staff is forecasted to grow only 15x while line of business leaders are expecting more from IT, with 59% saying technology is becoming more critical to business. The agility of private cloud can help IT overcome the maintenance budgetary quagmire and more closely align to business objectives, driving greater business value as a result.
Cloudscaling is focused on accelerating the development and adoption of OpenStack, making it more robust and easy to use for enterprises and more open and extensible for solution providers, in turn creating significant business value. We deliver an OpenStack-powered IaaS with deep consideration for deployability, scalability, performance and other things you've come to expect from any solution that is a core part of an enterprise IT architecture.
We iterate and improve on core OpenStack and bake in key enterprise checklist features.
If you want the flexibility to federate workloads between private and public clouds (in hybrid cloud scenarios), then the private cloud must be behaviorally and architecturally compatible with the chosen public cloud provider – essentially becoming an extension of the public cloud. Cloudscaling fully embraces the technologies & innovations that power large public cloud infrastructures.
Because the architecture of OCS is consistent with that of Amazon or Google infrastructure, it doesn't require significant re-engineering to re-deploy apps to either. OCS minimizes differences in storage, networking and APIs so you can deploy across public and private clouds as needed. OCS includes a number of capabilities that recreate the architecture, cost model and scalability of leading public clouds including:
The workloads best suited for OpenStack-powered elastic infrastructure include:
We certify our solutions on hardware by Quanta, Dell, HP and Super Micro and provide reference architectures. You choose hardware configurations from vetted blueprints to address your workload and performance requirements. Using a reference architecture de-risks and expedites your OCS deployment, but we are flexible and can work with any hardware in your data center.
Another thing to consider, is that in the new cloud era we treat servers like cattle, not pets. The servers in today's datacenter are too much like cute pets that you name and when they get sick you have to nurse them back to health. Cloudscaling is a system for managing your servers like cattle. You number them and if they're sick, just take them out back and shoot them in the head. It takes a village to care for pets, but a few cowboys can drive thousands of cattle great distances without even blinking.
Cloud computing changes how organizations think about their business and IT strategies. It is imperative to think about the use cases and application workloads that will run in the cloud, as these will ultimately define your cloud architecture and which solutions to deploy. Before moving onto a private cloud, organizations should do their homework to understand how they need to meet new service levels, business demand and how to "right-source" workloads and applications (matching apps to infrastructure).
If this sounds daunting, Cloudscaling provides Cloud Concierge to make the transformation easier. Concierge Services provide the industry's most comprehensive professional services for managing the entire lifecycle of OpenStack deployments from use case evaluation through cloud planning, implementation and operation.
Customers with qualifying projects are eligible to access OCSgo – our demo environment – where you can run test workloads and learn firsthand how OCS makes deploying, managing, federating and scaling your production-ready elastic cloud infrastructure easier than you've imagined. Have a question for the Cloudscaling ream or want to discuss your project? Contact email@example.com

Construction is soon to begin on a new charter school right here in Lafayette.
Willow Charter Academy will be taking the place of the old Albertsons grocery store next to the Northgate Mall. Louisiana achievement charter academies is a state wide board that currently has two schools in Baton Rouge, an application for another in Caddo Parish, and two coming to Lafayette in August.
The board works with the state to start charter schools in needed areas. Jay Miller, Vice President of the Louisiana Achievement Charter Academy says "We don't provide transportation for our charter school so this was a way that a lot of students can actually access it and make it easier for moms to access it because it's in walking distance of some of the target areas we were after."
Willow Charter Academy is a type two charter, meaning that students aren't bound to one geographical area, they can come from all over the parish and state to attend kindergarten through fifth grade; "one grade will be added every year after that until it reaches grade."
For a school that has only been advertised by word of mouth, Miller says the number of potential students surprisingly above average. "Enrollment is off the charts! Usually at this stage we anticipate about 100 to 125 applicants and right now it's already close to 400 applicants."
The first year, capacity will about four hundred, more than likely, the students that are already enrolled will enter a lottery system to get in. The design has been completed and the contractors have been hired. Officials with the Louisiana Achievement Charter Academy expect to begin construction any day now for their opening in August.
If you would like to apply or enroll a child, visit NationalHeritageAcademy.com or WillowCharterAcademy.org.

Aeroplan is the most popular airline rewards program in Canada and any serious collector should have a matching credit card to earn the maximum possible miles. Figuring out which credit card is top dog though isn't an easy task, especially now that TD has launched their brand new line-up of Aeroplan rewards credit cards.
That's why I've done all the figuring for you by creating an intense comparison spreadsheet analyzing every juicy detail of each card including: miles earned per dollar spent, bonus miles you get for signing up, cost of annual fees as well as fees for secondary cardholders, free insurance benefits, Air Canada specific perks, and all the other little extras each card has to offer.
With that data, I ranked each card as objectively as I could in 5 different categories, which you will find in the table below. Using those rankings, being sure to give double weight to "Miles Earned Per Dollar Spent" and "Annual Fee" categories, I was able to obtain a final overall ranking that is both comprehensive and fair.
The Best Aeroplan Credit Cards
The cards in the table are ordered from best to worst. Also please note that the table scrolls horizontally by using the slider at the bottom.
|Credit Card
|American Express Gold Rewards
|TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite Privilege
|American Express Starwood Preferred Guest
|TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite
|American Express Platinum Rewards
|American Express AeroplanPlus Platinum Card
|CIBC Aerogold Visa Infinite
|American Express AeroplanPlus Gold Card
|CIBC Aerogold Visa
|American Express AeroplanPlus Card
|TD Aeroplan Visa Platinum
|Chase Marriott Premier Visa Card
|Miles Per Dollar Spent 1
|Bonus Miles 2
|Annual Fee
|First Year Free?
|Extra Cardholders
|Overall Rating 3
|Rewards Rating
|Bonus Rating
|Annual Fee Rating 4
|Insurance Rating
|Perks Rating
1 Free
$50 after
|$175 or $50
|$199 or $50
2 Free
$50 after
1 Miles Per Dollar Spent was arrived at by combining the accrual rate for normal spending with the accrual rate for spending in bonus categories, typically gas, grocery, and drug store purchases. For the purposes of this calculation, 70% percent was allocated towards normal spending and 30% was allocated towards bonus category spending.
2 In the cases where the credit card in question earns points of another kind than Aeroplan, points are assumed to be converted to Aeroplan miles in the most favorable way possible.
3 The Overall Rating is an average of all the other ratings with the top ranked credit card automatically receiving a ranking of 5.
4 You will notice that one card managed to get a 5.5 out of 5 ranking in this category. That is because I wanted some way to account for both "First Year Free" and "Extra Cardholders" in this ranking. Those cards that waive the annual fee for the first year were given a half-point bonus and those that give at least one extra card for free were given an additional half-point bonus.
5 The 5% cash back is for the first 6 months, then it drops to 2% ongoing.
6 FYI: MBNA is 100% owned by TD Bank.
Want NO annual fee and 5% CASH back on gas and groceries instead?5
What Features Are Important To You?
Even though I've ranked these cards as objectively as I possibly could, giving weight to what are probably the most important factors to the majority of Canadians, there is never one size fits all when it comes to credit cards. If one of the following features stands out to you as being of utmost importance, then you might want to consider a different choice.
1) Earning The Most Miles
If earning miles is all you care about, period, then the TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite Privilege is probably your best best because it gives you 1.25 miles per dollar spent on all purchases and 1.5 miles per dollar spent on gas, grocery, and drug store purchases with no caps or limits. The annual fee is a bit hefty at $399, but if you are a big spender then earning more miles will pay for the difference quickly.
If you want the most miles you can get with a card that has a reasonable annual fee, then the American Express Starwood Preferred Guest Card is a great choice because you effectively earn 1.25 miles per dollar spent2 on all purchases for an annual fee of only $120. The card also has massive flexibility in terms of transferring miles to other airline programs so you can get cheaper reward flights, pay less in taxes, or take advantage of free hotel nights. It has no comparison in that regard.
Finally, if you spend a lot of money on gas, grocery, drug store, and travel purchases, then you hands down want the American Express Gold Rewards Card. It is the only card that offers 2 miles earned per dollar spent2 in bonus categories with the next closest being 1.5, meaning 33% more.
2) Getting The Biggest Bonus For Signing Up
The American Express Platinum Rewards Card has exclusive rights to the biggest bonus at 50,000 points which can be converted to 50,000 miles. It also comes with the heftiest annual fee of $699 and high income requirements to qualify.
In terms of value, the American Express Gold Rewards Card wins again because you can get 25,000 miles after conversion to Aeroplan for FREE because the annual fee of $150 is waived for the first year. If you decide the card isn't for you, then you can simply transfer the bonus points to Aeroplan, cancel the card, and keep the points without paying a cent.
The CIBC Aerogold Visa Infinite is also worth considering because you can get 20,000 miles directly with the first year annual fee of $120 waived.
3) Cheapest Annual Fee
Choosing the card with the cheapest annual fee usually doesn't make a lot of sense because the value of the rewards you will receive for using one of the more expensive cards almost always makes up for more expensive fees if you spend a decent amount of money on the card and use most of the perks.
However, if you really want Aeroplan miles at the cheapest possible price, then the American Express AeroplanPlus card is actually quite a bargain. It still has good earning potential at 1 mile per dollar spent on all purchases with no caps and it will cost you just $60 annually. They even give you the first year free too.
4) Best Insurance Coverage
If you're a frequent traveler, then the insurance coverage offered by a good credit card can easily save you thousands of dollars. Whenever you rent a car you can decline the Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) that adds up to $20 per day to the bill. If you drop your brand new iPad within the first 90-120 days of owning it, you can get a full repair or reimbursement of the purchase price. Need medical insurance? Good cards offer from 15-22 days of travel medical absolutely free which could easily cost you hundreds per trip. With more than twelve types of credit card insurance available, the potential savings certainly don't end there!
The TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite Privilege really outshines the rest of the competition on this front, which is a major accomplishment because typically that accolade goes to the card with the highest annual fee. $399 is still a lot to pay annually, but the extra insurance it gives you could pay for all that with just one or two claims.
If you want something more budget friendly, then it's little brother the TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite also does a pretty good job when it comes to insurance at only $120 annually.
5) Best Perks Overall
If you want big perks, you need to pay big bucks because the American Express Platinum Rewards Card completely destroys the competition when it comes to perks.
We're talking access to exclusive lounges affiliated with almost any airline world-wide, $200 in free travel of your choosing annually, exclusive events held only for Platinum card holders, tons of free upgrades and companion tickets with almost any airline, automatically upgraded status with several big hotel chains, free valet parking service at YVR, doctors that will pay you house calls in foreign countries, a personal concierge that will take care of your every need (within reason), and many more.
Seriously, this card has so many perks you're going to feel like Mr. Worldwide himself (Pitbull) as you jet set around the globe like a superstar.
6) Best Air Canada Perks
If you're a die-hard Air Canada fan, and you probably are because you're looking at Aeroplan credit cards, then the TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite Privilege gets another nod as the best card for Air Canada specific perks.
It offers Air Canada Priority Check-In, 4 passes to the Maple Leaf Lounge annually, a 50% off business class companion ticket annually, and your first checked bag is free on all Air Canada flights. Not bad!
The Top 5 Aeroplan Credit Cards In Detail
1) American Express Gold Rewards
Right now, as I'm typing this, this credit card is sitting securely in my wallet exactly where it belongs! It's easy to see why because it gives you the highest mile earning potential on daily essentials like gas, groceries, and drugstore purchases at 2 miles per dollar spent2. No other card even comes close to that, and it offers 2 miles per dollar2 on travel purchases as well. The others? Simply not possible! Travel purchases are treated like any other normal purchase with them.
There's a whole host of other benefits to this one as well as it definitely earned the top spot for a reason!
Why You Want It:
- 2 miles per dollar spent on all gas, grocery, drugstore, and travel purchases2.
- 25,000 bonus miles2 for signing up which are essentially free because the annual fee is waived the first year.
- Yup, the $150 annual fee is waived the first year, which is very reasonable for what this card offers anyway.
- You can add 1 extra cardholder for free and earn more points faster, instead of paying $50+ with the other guys.
- Added flexibility when redeeming points by transferring to other rewards programs or redeeming them directly for any travel purchase you charge to the card. Tip: Transferring them to Aeroplan or Avios gives you much better value though.
- Offers the second best insurance package for cards in the $120-$150 annual fee range, including trip interruption and emergency medical which are premium features.
2) TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite Privilege
TD really hit the bullseye when they crafted this new Aeroplan credit card late last year, at least for those people interested in a premium credit card. Not only does it have a lower annual fee than other premium cards, but it also offers the most Aeroplan specific perks and also boasts the most comprehensive insurance package. It's a solid choice for anyone looking for good earning potential along with a lot of premium features.
You'll need to be quite the baller to apply though as they require a minimum of $200,000 in annual household income to qualify. I don't know about you, but I'm not there yet!
- The highest base rewards accrual rate of 1.25 miles per dollar spent.
- The most comprehensive travel insurance package with 10 types of insurance available and 9 of those being as good or better than all the other cards.
- A good sign up bonus of 25,000 miles.
- Priority check-in and boarding on all Air Canada flights.
- 4 annual Maple Leaf Lounge passes.
- Complimentary membership in Airport Angel including 6 lounge visits with over 500 lounges to choose from worldwide.
- 1 annual 50% discount on a business class companion ticket.
- A limited time 2-for-1 short haul flight reward.
- The only Visa Infinite Privilege card currently available.
- Personal concierge service to make you feel like a rock star!
3) American Express Starwood Preferred Guest
I'm a huge fan of the Starwood Preferred Guest hotel rewards program because it is probably the best travel rewards program on the planet. Not only does it allow you to redeem points for hotel nights at very good value, it also allow you to transfer your points 1-to-1 to nearly 30 airline rewards program completely free. If that wasn't enough, most of the time they will give you a 25% mile bonus just for doing a transfer!
Flexibility of SPG alone is reason enough to choose this credit card, but it also gives you a 25,000 mile sign up bonus2 and no annual fee for the first year. You can even earn 12,500 additional miles2 every time you refer a friend.
Why You Want It:
- The absolutely insane flexibility of the Starwood Preferred Guest rewards program.
- 25,000 bonus miles2 for signing up which are essentially free because the annual fee is waived the first year.
- 1.25 miles per dollar spent on ALL purchases, which is higher out of any card with an annual fee less than $150 and tied for highest with cards that have annual fees up to $699.
- 12,500 additional miles2 every time you successfully refer a friend to sign up for the card.
- A free weekend night at a category 1-4 Starwood property when you spend $40,000 or more per year on the card.
- Automatic upgrade to Starwood Preferred Guest Gold status when you spend $30,000 or more per year on the card.
- A solid insurance package, but it won't win any awards.
4) TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite
If you like the sounds of the TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite Privilege card but the $200,000 required household income or the $399 annual fee give you sticker shock, then this is a reasonable substitute. It has a lot of the same features, just toned down a little bit.

The Kids Are Alright
Updated: June 15, 2010, 12:50 PM ETBy Jake Howard
This weekend the best and brightest of Generation Next descend upon the banks of Narrabeen for the Billabong ASP World Junior Championships. In an effort to define themselves as the second coming of Andy Irons or Joel Parkinson, when the massive conglomeration of Under 20 dudes and dudettes from 13 different countries takes the water, there will be no shortage of plots and subplots. And while we could sit here and prognosticate all we wanted, we thought we'd offer you a little taste of who the ...

Who would you rather have Cedric Benson or Ryan Grant? Cast your vote
Cedric Benson recently appeared on Sirius XM to discuss his future in the NFL with hosts RIch Gannon and Adam Schein. Benson was a little choked up when he began to talk about the lack of NFL interest in his services. No team has seriously pursued Benson, but the Packers, Jets, and Raiders have all had rumored interest.
One last look at Cedric Benson as a Bengal.
Have fun with this guy Cincinnatti, this is why we got rid of this "clubhouse cancer."
It's incredible to me that there are three Longhorns in the top 20 rushers in the NFL right now. Granted, one is a Heisman winner (R. Williams), one helped to win a national championship (C. Benson), and one is a former world-class track star (J. Charles), but it's incredible that three of these guys are at the top of the game and they all came from Texas. I don't imagine we'll be able to say anything like this five years from now...
We need more pictures on this blog, so I thought this little post might help brighten some things up a little. In lieu of the Cedric Benson signing, let's hope we can see and remember him like...
Vindication? I think Cedric deserves some credit for being able to get past his well documented troubles. It seems that he has found a home in the NFL. Who would have seen that coming?
As the Bengals face the very real possibilty of losing the bulk of their receiving corps to free agency and potential trades -- also, Cedric Benson -- the question is, what should Cincinnati do...
"The Bengals signed free agent RB Cedric Benson and placed RB DeDe Dorsey on the reserve/injured list, the team announced Tuesday." That ought to fix the reputation of both the Bengals and Ced.

Japan can be an expensive place to visit, but I've found it a surprisingly easy place to get cheap and delicious meals. Of course, we purchased snacks and rice balls at convenience stores and had a satisfying breakfast or lunch for under $5 (those rice balls are filling!), but there are times when CB and I just wanted to sit down and relax a bit. The best thing is that even on a budget, Japanese meals are prepared with care and attention – for the same $10, I'd venture to say that the quality of food in Japan tend to be much higher quality than that in the U.S. or Europe. I've noted the prices for both Japanese Yen and US dollars, and the information is accurate as of July 2014.
Here are three of my favorite sit-down places to eat- all chains with multiple locations in Japan – where one person can get full for under $10, and definitely under $15. And because there is no tipping in Japan – in fact, the servers will run after you if you leave change – you can be sure that a $10 dish will actually cost you $10. All three are very foreigner-friendly, with pictures and friendly (if not fluent-English-speaking) staff.
This restaurant's signature dish is ramen kogashi, or burnt ramen (pictured above). The ramen broth is ladled with spoonfuls of lard burnt at 300 degrees… I assume that's what those black flakes are. Horrible for your arteries, I'm sure, but delicious for your taste buds, I can attest. A ramen kogashi (with your choice of either miso- or soy sauce-based soup) only cost 850 yen, or around $9. One of my biggest regrets is that I only went to Gogyo once. I believe there are 5 Goygos in Tokyo and Kyoto. It is SO GOOD. Go to Gogyo. Go go go. http://ramendining-gogyo.com/shop_kyoto/index.html (unfortunately, it seems like the website is only in Japanese)
Marugame Seimen
Udon noodles with tempura. Udon noodles is the thick white noodles that people often eat with hot soup and tempura batter-fried meats / veggies. CB and I had a fabulous dinner here – two hot bowls of udon and five pieces of tempura for just 1,500 Yen, or under $16. Marugame Seimen has locations all over Tokyo and Kyoto, including two of the most popular tourist spots: Shibuya (http://www.toridoll.com/shop/search/store?id=110441), and Shinjuku (http://www.toridoll.com/shop/search/store?id=110661) http://www.toridoll.com/en/, and you can check out some pictures and prices here: http://www.toridoll.com/en/shop/menu.html. I recommend the classic Kake Udon with shrimp and kabocha tempura.
Ootoya (大戸屋)
This is probably the best value for your meal in Tokyo/Kyoto. I went to this place three times in our 10-day trip! For 600-1,000 yen, you get a teishoku set meal which consists for a main dish, a rice, miso soup, pickled radishes, and maybe even a salad depending on the dish. CB's and my highest bill at Ootoya was 2,400 Yen or $25, because we splurged on an ice cream dessert. When we just ordered the teishoku meals, we spent less than $10 a person. www.ootoya.com

AUGUSTA — The chief hearing officer at the Maine Department of Labor's Division of Administrative Hearings said in an email she was "totally shocked" after attending a luncheon hosted by Gov. LePage at the Blaine House last month where he reportedly scolded hearing officers for doing their jobs poorly in the wake of complaints by businesses.
"It's hard to describe how painful this is," Linda Rogers-Tomer wrote in a March 22 email to Laura Boyett, who heads the Bureau of Unemployment Compensation.
A hearing examiner talks of "dark times" as those who hear unemployment claim appeals seek to keep free from political influence.
Those communications are among scores of emails released by the Department of Labor this week in response to a Freedom of Access Act request by a Portland Press Herald columnist.
The 486 pages of documents reveal, among other things, friction between the Division of Administrative Hearings and political appointees who fielded complaints lodged by businesses.
The emails revolve around the March 21 luncheon called by LePage. He met with about eight hearing officers, their supervisors and political appointees at the department, including Labor Commissioner Jeanne Paquette and Jennifer Duddy, chairwoman of the Unemployment Insurance Commission, which hears cases on appeal by employees and employers from the Division of Administrative Hearings. Duddy was appointed to the post by LePage.
Rogers-Tomer apparently was reacting to Duddy's remarks at the luncheon, calling them "pretty vicious."
Duddy had written a 10-page memo weeks before the luncheon that went to Paquette, who passed it along to LePage.
In it, Duddy outlined problems she found with the way hearing officers were conducting hearings and took issue with their interpretations of rules governing the process that Duddy thought might have led to unfair hearings.
In the memo, she proposed possible solutions. Duddy also included in her memo two "problems" in Maine law that she was asked by Paquette to explore and research possible changes. One of those so-called "problems" was an interpretation by the Maine Supreme Judicial Court of a policy statement in Maine's Employment Security Law that said it "should be construed liberally in favor of the employee seeking benefits." Her proposed solution: "We should consider reversing this policy statement."
Duddy cited a couple of specific cases on appeal from the Division of Administrative Hearings in which, she wrote, the hearing officers committed errors.
Rogers-Tomer said in an email that she "believe('s) Jen's position is that her interpretation is the only acceptable one, so not sure where we go from here."
In another email, the chief hearing officer describes a conversation with Duddy after the luncheon. Rogers-Tomer said she hadn't been aware until shortly before the luncheon that Duddy had a problem with decisions hearing officers make regarding the omission of certain types of evidence.
"I said that the standard was not a black and white one and that reasonable people could differ about how it should be applied," Rogers-Tomer wrote.
"She disagreed that reasonable people could differ. I said that I thought she was a reasonable person and that I was a reasonable person, and that we differed. She said I was dead wrong about it, that (Assistant Attorney General Elizabeth) Wyman agreed that I was dead wrong about it, and that I was remiss in allowing my hearing officers to continue to not admit certain documents."
She wrote that Duddy believed all evidence offered should be allowed and given equal weight, whether a business record or firsthand evidence.
"I fear that more than 20 years of jurisprudence it about to go flying out the window," Rogers-Tomer wrote.
She quoted in an email from hearing examiner Wayne Reed, who wrote that he found the need to assume a defensive posture when writing decisions in an atmosphere of heightened political scrutiny.
"I will continue to call them as I see them, but in the near term, at least, I will find it hard to shake the feeling that extra caution will sometimes be required. It is a thief of time. Defensive decision-writing could prove to be the least significant downside to what appears to be a lack of appreciation by this administration for the importance of insulating hearing officers from public and political pressures.
"In the time I've been doing this work, I've never seen anything like it, from either end of the political spectrum. For purposes of keeping political pressures/bias out of quasi-judicial process within the Maine Department of Labor, these are dark times."
The officer referred to the luncheon as a "group scolding."
Sources in a Sun Journal investigation who said pressure to find more cases in favor of employers was applied to hearing officers beginning in 2011 after an employer complained following an unfavorable appeals hearing.

Jabari Brown scored 24 points in the final round of the Las Vegas Invitational on Friday night.
Nov. 29, 2013
LAS VEGAS (AP) - Earnest Ross scored 28 points, Jabari Brown added 24, leaving Missouri undefeated with an 83-70 win over Nevada in the final round of the Las Vegas Invitational on Friday night.
Jordan Clarkson had 21 points for the Tigers (7-0), who converted 31 of 33 free-throw attempts.
Ross made 12 of 13 free throws and grabbed nine rebounds. Brown made four 3-pointers for Missouri, which finished 4-0 in the round-robin tournament.
Missouri will at least be tournament co-champion with No. 19 UCLA, which was 3-0 going into Friday's late game against Northwestern. The Tigers defeated Northwestern in third round on Thursday.
Deonte Burton led Nevada (3-5) with 20 points and three blocks. He was 8 of 10 from the free-throw line. Marqueze Coleman had 15 points for the Wolf Pack, which ended the tourney 1-3.
Nevada cut the Tigers' lead to five with six minutes left in the game, but Missouri went on a 16-8 run to pull away.
The tournament's championship format was changed to round-robin this year to accommodate Missouri's and UCLA's wishes that the teams not play twice this season. They meet at Missouri on Dec. 7.
The Tigers came out aggressive early against the Wolf Pack, jumping to an 11-2 start and leading by many as 21 late in the first half. Brown and Ross each had 16 points in the half. Missouri shot 52 percent from the field and made 13 of 14 free throws to lead 44-26 at the break.
