Though a bit on the dark and grotty side, there's something about the realism of this night market on the southern end of the city that we respect. The market is also a good place to shop for cheap T-shirts.
Though a bit on the dark and grotty side, there's something about the realism of this night market on the southern end of the city that we respect. The market is also a good place to shop for cheap T-shirts.
The house was built in 1853 but opened to the public only in 2001. It's a prime example of a Qing-period mansion, with receiving halls, library and performance stages. There are eye-popping uses of gold leaf on the doors and gates among other decorations of auspicious imagery. From the Grain Viewing Pavilion family members were able to look out over the farmers at work.
Located inside Liberty Plaza (aka Chiang Kai-shek Memorial), the National Theatre Concert Hall hosts large-scale concerts and cultural events including dances, musicals, Chinese and Western opera and concerts of Chinese and Western classical and popular music. Renowned Taiwanese dance company Cloud Gate performs here several times a year.
Featuring the history and artefacts of Taiwan's indigenous peoples (of which there are currently 14 recognised tribes), this tastefully put- together museum features soft lighting and an interesting array of exhibits. Fine examples of Taiwanese aboriginal handicrafts are displayed and video footage offers an educational summary of the histories of the tribes themselves.
If you can eat it, wear it or give it a name and bring it home with you (stalls selling puppies are big here, though we question the ethics of a spur-of-the-moment puppy purchase), you'll find it here. If you're squeamish about crowds, stick to the edges!
In Taipei city; handles direct flights from China and Japan.
Considered by many a must-visit, this museum is home to what could quite easily be termed the world's largest and finest collection of Chinese art. This vast collection (much of it liberated from mainland China during the last retreat of the KMT) is far too large to exhibit at any given time, so most of the museum's treasures are on rotation.
Located in the same building as the Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
If Shilin is king, then Shida is queen. It's almost as crowded as Shilin; you'll be met with a mind-boggling array of stuff to eat here as well as some very cool shops. Check out the stall run by a lady known as Fruit Auntie (shuǐguǒ āyí) , on Longquan Rd just a block down from Hoping Rd. Her freshly cut fruit must be tasted to be believed.
The Shipai Night Market has a plethora of spots to eat, but Tai G (a pun meaning 'Taiwan Chicken') may trump them all in health benefits, serving a variety of medicinal chicken soups. For maximum benefit, bring a Chinese speaker with you to explain what ails you (lethargy…cold…allergies) and ask to be served the appropriate remedy.
Eight lines, 82 stations and 90.5km of track. New lines in the works. Connects with Taipei (Songshan) International Airport (will connect with Taoyuan International Airport by 2013). Trains leave, on average, every three to eight minutes.
Sashimi, Indian, bratwurst and doughnuts. What more could you ask for in the basement of an upmarket department store? Also home to one of the best Korean hot-pot places in town.
Like Tokyo's Ginza, Ximending is the ultraconsumerist heart of Taipei's mainstream youth culture. This eight-branched intersection dates from the Japanese era and is now chock-full of shops selling fashion, fast food, sneakers, sunglasses, scarves, Sanrio, Sony and spaghetti. If it's young and trendy, it's here.

Should the Beaumont Independent School District have a November election?
It's a question the citizens of Beaumont should ask themselves.
If left up to the legal maneuverings of the lawyers representing the Citizens United for a BETTER Beaumont, approximately half of the city's residents will not. Almost all of them from the largely black, poor and lower middle class neighborhoods.
The Citizens United for a BETTER Beaumont is the latest version of the group from the now defunct Facebook page BISD BOARD WATCH and previously B.E.T.T.E.R..
That's because Michael Truncale, Michael 'Mike' Getz, Hubert Oxford, and David Vann DeCordova have filed yet another lawsuit in the Texas 9th District Court of Appeals asking that their hand-picked candidates for BISD Districts 1, 2, and 3 Donna Forgas, Linda Gilmore and Marcelino Rodriguez be given the seats without an election.
Relators respectfully request this Honorable Court of Appeals to enforce its previously issued Writs of Mandamus in In re Rodriguez and In re Neil commanding the following action:
1. That this Court enforce its previously issued orders and order BISD immediately to install Relators as sitting Trustees for Trustee districts 1, 2, 3 and 5 of Map 7B.
This request includes the reinstatement without election of District 6 Board Trustee Mike Neil who wasn't even up for election until 2015 in the first place. But presumably it would extend his own term for two more years without election by the voters of his own district.
And if that is too much injustice against the voters of BISD Districts 1,2,3, and 5 for the three judge panel to stomach there's always option two as suggested by the crafty lawyers for Citizens United for a BETTER Beaumont to offer them a little 'cover':
or alternatively, require BISD to place Relators [Donna Forgas, Linda Gilmore, Marcelino Rodriguez and Mike Neil] as unopposed candidates on the next election ballot;
2. Require BISD to go forward with the Trustee election that was previously scheduled for May 11, 2013 as quickly as possibly but no later than the uniform November 2013 election date;
But essentially amounts to the same thing.
The handpicked candidates of a single citizen of Beaumont being placed on the BISD School Board without election or choice of it's citizens.
Even when it's the wrong thing.

Motorcycle racing is the next fun sport in trend in the world of youngsters. In this game, helmets are not all about protection and safety; these are more about the looks and style. Custom helmet decals play a vital role in adding much to your modish looks, making you look more hip and geared up for a race. A unique decal on your helmet can symbolize your unique individuality or can be an icon to represent a group.
What is the statement you make when you are out there riding on your motorcycle? Helmet decals depict your personality and style and speak a lot who you are.
Helmet decals are of various sorts like the number decals, reward decals, name decals, stripe decals or any other design that is in your mind. You can simply create your own design or get your name printed as a decal. You can also get a decal of your favorite brand or probably your motorcycle brand name. Branded decals, like the Harley Davidson logo, work well with a helmet for example.
All you need to do is to approach a good manufacturer company that specializes in proffering the highest quality custom printing of Helmet decals. There are several decals and sticker manufacturers in the market, who provide the facility of custom helmet decals. With the aid of this, you can design and get a custom made decal for your next motorcycle race. This facility gives you the break to get the most voguish decal for your helmet to catch all eyeballs the next time you are on the ground.
The new array of helmet decals on the market is made from high quality vinyl giving a long lasting, non- wrinkly, smooth and shining appearance to the decal. The best way to grab the latest decals or designs is to search online. There are endless choices available on the web these days. Creating a style statement for bike lovers was never so easy and inexpensive. More than just turning your helmet peppier, you must also go for a helmet with a better make.
So, enjoy your ride with Team Fitz Graphics by visiting them at http://www.teamfitzgraphics.com/ or giving them a call at 855-356-8550.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Howard Carter: Famous Archaeologist, Not-So-Famous Painter
Didn't know he was an artist too? "Tut tut!"
- By K. Annabelle Smith
- Smithsonian.com, May 09, 2012
It isn't often that we hear anything about English archaeologist and Egyptologist Howard Carter other than this groundbreaking discovery of King Tut's chamber on November 4, 1922. But as we celebrate Carter's 138th birthday, we also look to his lesser-known talent as an artist.
((c) Griffith Insititute, University of Oxford)
In between excavation seasons, Carter had to find creative ways to earn a living. Museums would commission him to find and acquire objects for their collections and he would also produce romantic images of Egypt that he would sell to tourists visiting the ruins.
"We're talking about a time before photography—Carter would create something that people could take back with them," she says.
Watercolors like this one of an African Sacred Ibis, however, would not have been sold commercially. Depictions of this bird frequently occur both as hieroglyphs and in Egyptian art.

This is beautifully rendered, I'm glad this information is now known to us.
Posted by Sarah Jones on May 14,2012 | 09:23 PM
A lovely article, thank you for posting it. A correction: The word is "hieroglyphs," not "hieroglyphics." "Hieroglyphic" is the adjective form, "hieroglyph" is the noun.
Posted by Susannah Challis on May 13,2012 | 05:50 PM
He did a very good job at recreating the images...I never knew he was artistically talented as well...Thanks for sharing.

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — Search elsewhere if you're seeking a happy-go-lucky team. No matter where you look in the Washington locker room, there seems to be an ax to grind or a leash that's awfully short.
Maybe this is what happens when a team could be poised to defend its title — as the best last-place team in football.
"Hopefully we'll be the best team this year — take out the 'last place,'" defensive end Phillip Daniels said.
To do that, the Redskins must cash a lot of chips that are sitting on shoulders, from belittled quarterback Jason Campbell on down, because the NFC East is a hard place to live. Washington should be better than last year's 8-8 because of roster upgrades and the natural improvement from Year 1 to Year 2 under a new head coach. But the New York Giants, Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys all sit in the way.
"At least you know whoever wins this division has got a chance to win the whole thing," said defensive end Renaldo Wynn, who came over from the Giants in the offseason.
And if there's no improvement in the standings, owner Dan Snyder sits in his upstairs corner office, always ready to make more changes and spend more money, no matter whose feelings get hurt. Campbell, for all his polite words, is still smarting big time from Snyder's attempt to land Jay Cutler and Mark Sanchez in the offseason.
Campbell's contract runs out at the end of the year, and it's safe to say his time with the Redskins will expire as well if his touchdown tally doesn't improve from the 13 of 2008. Early in training camp, perennial Pro Bowl left tackle Chris Samuels said Campbell will "at least get seven or eight games to go out there and get it done." Samuels later said the words didn't come out the way he meant and that he wasn't stating team policy, but no one disputes the overall picture of a quarterback under pressure.
"It's one of those things, you just go out there and do your job and quiet all the naysayers," fullback Mike Sellers said. "I think that's Jason's plan."
There's more, of course. Clinton Portis is closing in on John Riggins as the franchise's all-time leading rusher, but Portis has soured the chase by complaining about Riggins' critical comments as a radio commentator, and by diminishing Riggo's achievements.
Albert Haynesworth, given a $100 million contract with an NFL-record $41 million in guaranteed money, is out to show he's worth the money: "You're not going to remember Albert Haynesworth as a bust," he said on his first day in the building.
Samuels and right tackle Randy Thomas, who each had multiple surgeries in the offseason, are determined to prove that the experienced offensive line is getting better with age, not falling apart because of it. Cornerback Carlos Rogers, hardly thrilled about losing his starting job late last season, has it back and is playing for big money in a contract year. But he'll succeed only if he actually makes a few interceptions and stays healthy.
Kick returner Rock Cartwright is miffed because he's no longer considered a running back. Veteran receiver Antwaan Randle El has been overtaken at No. 2 receiver by a youngster, Malcolm Kelly. Middle linebacker London Fletcher, the glue of the defense, went on an uncharacteristic mini-tirade after getting snubbed for the Pro Bowl last year. His absence during much of the offseason workouts — depending on who you ask — may or may not have been a sign of unhappiness with his contract.
Oh, the angst! Good thing or bad thing?
"I think it's a good thing," Randle El said. "For me, I have a chip on my shoulder every year, so I think it's good to have because it humbles you and keeps you grounded — 'Hey, I've still got something to prove to everybody.'"
Then there's Jim Zorn, the optimistic and sometimes quirky coach who was facing job security questions before his first season was over as the Redskins tumbled from a 6-2 start. Enticing megacoaches Bill Cowher, Mike Holmgren, Jon Gruden and Mike Shanahan are all on the sidelines and might get Snyder's attention for 2010, and Zorn can quiet the rumor mill only with a good season. It helps that the Z-man and his players have a better feel for each other going into his second year.
"It is different," Zorn said. "And I would say the differences are: I know our players much better, our players know the system a lot better, we all know the direction we're going in."
So good things can happen. The defense, ranked No. 4 a year ago but deficient in sacks and takeaways, should finally cause some havoc with Haynesworth and first-round draft pick Brian Orakpo. The emergence of Kelly perhaps gives Campbell the big receiver the offense has been missing. The offensive line is the biggest question mark, but for what it's worth, Campbell didn't get sacked during preseason.
All that's been missing so far is a "Hip! Hip! Hooray!" from Zorn.
But is that good enough in the NFC East? The Redskins, it's worth pointing out, are one of only six NFL teams without a division title since the latest realignment in 2002.
"The thing I'm anxious about is answering everyone else's questions," Pro Bowl tight end Chris Cooley said. "It's been an onslaught of questions the last year and a half, and I think we're ready to step up."

Peter Finch, who was a posthumous Oscar winner for "Network," died of a heart attack Jan. 14, 1977 at the age of 60. (MGM / June 21, 2013) |
Early-morning news reports from Rome on Friday announced what everyone already expected: The brilliant Emmy Award-winning actor James Gandolfini's untimely death Wednesday at the age of 51 was caused by a heart attack.
Sadly, Gandolfini is just the latest of a number of well-respected actors and performers who stunned the world when they suddenly died of a heart attack.
Peter Finch
The British-born Australian actor was on top of the world in January 1977, basking in the glow of thunderous reviews for his indelible performance as the "mad as hell" TV news anchor Howard Beale in Sidney Lumet's 1976 classic "Network."
PHOTOS: Behind-the-scenes Classic Hollywood
The 60-year-old actor was in high spirits when he appeared on "The Tonight Show" on Jan 13, 1977. The following morning, he was in the lobby of the Beverly Hilton Hotel waiting to have breakfast with Lumet and then appear with him on ABC's "Good Morning America." But he suffered a heart attack in the lobby and was rushed to UCLA, where he was pronounced dead a few hours later.
Two months after his death, Finch became the first performer to win a posthumous Oscar, earning the lead actor honor. The award was accepted by his wife, Eletha Barrett, and "Network" writer Paddy Chayefsky.
John Garfield
The New York actor excelled in playing tough guys and conflicted film noir heroes in such classics as 1946's "The Postman Always Rings Twice," earning Oscar nominations for 1938's "Four Daughters" and 1947's "Body and Soul."
As a teenager, though, John Garfield had suffered permanent heart damage due to a bout of rheumatic fever. His heart prevented him from serving in World War II.
RELATED: James Gandolfini autopsy results
Garfield was under tremendous stress in the spring of 1952. The father of two young children had moved his family back to New York. Movie roles had dried up because of the Communist blacklist in Hollywood. He had just appeared in an unsuccessful revival of "Golden Boy."
Newly estranged from his wife, he met actress Iris Whitney for dinner on May 20, 1952, and died of a heart attack that night in her apartment. He was 39.
Some 10,000 fans descended upon his funeral three days later at the Riverside Memorial Chapel.
Tyrone Power
When he was 17 years old, Tyrone Power held his actor-father Tyrone Power Sr. in his arms as his dad died of a heart attack.
Within a few years of his father's death, Power became one of Hollywood's major stars, appearing in "The Razor's Edge," "Witness for the Prosecution" and "Nightmare Alley."
In the fall of 1958, he was in Madrid filming "Solomon and Sheba." On Nov. 15, Power had just finished filming a dueling sequence with George Sanders when he suffered a massive heart attack. He died en route to the hospital. He was just 44. Yul Brynner took over the role of Solomon.
PHOTOS: Gandolfini's career highlights
Dick Shawn
One of the most inventive comedic minds of his era, Dick Shawn was best known for role as the swinging hipster Hitler in Mel Brooks' 1968 movie "The Producers."
On April 17, 1987 Shawn was performing at Mandeville Center at UC San Diego. During his act, he collapsed face down on the stage. The audience thought it was part of his routine and began laughing. In fact, five minutes went by before the audience realized something was horribly wrong. A doctor who was in the house went up onstage and an ambulance was called. A local hospital tried to resuscitate him, but it was too late. Shawn was 63.
Redd Foxx
As the caustic junk man Fred Sanford on the hit 1970s NBC comedy series "Sanford and Son," Redd Foxx would grasp his heart like he was having an attack every time he was angry at his son Lamont. He would then proclaim that he'd soon be joining his late wife Elizabeth in the hereafter.
Tragically, Foxx died of a heart attack Oct. 12, 1991 while rehearsing an episode of his new CBS sitcom, "The Royal Family" at Paramount Studios. He was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital four hours after his collapse. He was 68.
Geraldine Page
Geraldine Page, who won the lead actress Oscar for 1985's "The Trip to Bountiful," was having a great time on Broadway the summer of 1987 earning a Tony nomination for her comedic turn as the outrageous Madame Arcati in a revival of Noel Coward's "Blithe Spirit."
But then on June 13, she didn't arrive for Saturday's two performances and the understudy had to go on. At the end of the evening performance, producer Karl Allison broke the sad news to the audience and the cast that Page had died of a heart attack. She was 62.

Pokemon resort is an island where trainers can leave their pokemon in the lap of luxury, it has everything any pokemon could want, from the finest food to state of the art training equipment, the resort would have several different areas:
Mountain area: a complex of caves and dizzy peaks
Sea Area: A sparkling sea and icey Islands
Forest Area: A verdant forest full of activity
Arena: A dirty, gladitorial pit of a training area
Plains: Savannah like fields
Town: Cobbled paving stones, an intricate electrical infrastructure and a few haunted houses compromise the town area.
Gardens: Well cultivated gardens provide a calm area
Dessert: Howling winds and sandy flats comprise the dessert zone
This would be a player driven, social RP with no over-arching plot as of yet. You can roleplay from one to six pokemon, who would all under the ownership of the same trainer. Any interest?

CHESHIRE -- From the bleachers, the Hoosac Valley girls' basketball team's defense can look unorganized or even chaotic.
It's not. The fast-paced, high-energy defense has worked wonders for the Hurricanes. The latest example was a 56-25 victory over Mount Greylock on Thursday night. The win clinches at least a share of the South Division title.
The buzzing trap worked to near-perfection on Thursday night, creating turnovers and forcing a young Greylock team to rush its shots.
"Our chant is 'all out' because when we come out on the court, we're all out. To play that [style] you have to be all out, all the time," Hoosac coach Ron Wojcik said. "If you take a possession off, they are going to get an easy shot out of it. It's not like a straight man-to-man where they may still not get a look out it. It's a risk, but it's worked out all right for us."
Margot Besnard got the scoring going a minute into the game, but Greylock didn't find the basket again until more than a minute was gone in the second quarter.
"Our defense is pretty much our whole entire game," Hoosac's Emily Rosse said. "If we keep our intensity up and trap every time the ball comes over half court, we either get a steal or they turn it over."
The Mounties scored just three points in both the first and third quarters. They were held to eight in the second. No Greylock player was able to get to double digits on the night.
Hoosac limited Greylock to just seven field goals. Lucy Barrett entered the contest averaging more than 15 points per game and was held to nine on the night. She didn't find the score sheet until she knocked down a pair of foul shots with 12 seconds left in the second quarter. Her first field goal didn't come until midway through the third -- Greylock's only points in that quarter.
"They play a very high pressure defense, and it's just out of our comfort zone," Greylock coach Paul Barrett said. "The things that we actually wanted to do, we couldn't. ... They are very good and play that defense very well."
The defense also allows the Hurricanes to work through offensive droughts. Hoosac scored just 10 first-quarter points before erupting for 18 in the second. Rosse led the way in the first by scoring her team's first six points on her way to a game-high 15.
Jen Gale exploded in the second quarter to put the Hurricanes out of reach. She scored all 10 of her points in that frame. A three-point play early in the second pushed Hoosac to a 13-0 run over the Mounties.
"I was just looking for my shot more," Gale said. "And looking to drive to the basket whenever I could."
The Hurricanes offense normally features a lot of 3-point shots and deep twos. On Thursday, the inside game was working for Hoosac.
Rosse scored most of her points on layups from down low. She also had a strong night rebounding, as she pulled in 12. Tori Rumbolt contributed just two points, but had eight rebounds for Hoosac.
"I thought we got the ball down low to [Rosse] very well," Wojcik said. "I think that's going to be one of the key things in the tournament. If she can start putting pressure on defenses inside, it's going to open up room for our shooters on the outside."
Still, the Hurricanes weren't completely happy with the effort. A win at Lenox in the team's final regular season game will give them sole possession of the South title. A loss will mean they will share the crown with Lenox.
"We're going to need to bring more intensity than we did tonight," Rosse said. "[And] make sure the ball doesn't get to the middle of our trap."

Ride along with Target Chip Ganassi Racing's Scott Dixon, Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing's Graham Rahal and Panther Racing's Oriol Servia during the Grand Prix of Baltimore IndyCar Series event as they rub, scrape, spin, crash, get crashed into, leap and slide throughout the 2.0-mile, 12-turn street circuit.
Turn up the volume and marvel at what took place from inside three of the 24 cars that took part in the 75-lap event. We can only image what happened in and around the other 21 drivers...

I know. It would be equal. Russia has more than MiGs. They have SU series of fighters/bombers. They are superb and match those of America's top fighter/bomber. Their tanks are also excellent having over 22k tanks they also have the T-90. This tank is equal to or better than the American Abrams. Their AK-47 has also been updated very much. It's more accurate and still has the infamous firepower it's always had.

On Thursday, the Canton City Council conducted a work session to begin reviewing its proposed budget for the year.
Canton City Manager Scott Wood said the proposed $32.4 million budget assumes the city will raise its millage rate from 6.88 to 7.187 mills.
The rate is considered revenue neutral because most taxpayers saw their property values decrease by the same percentage as the rate increase.
Also, state revenue rollback calculation allows the county to raise its rate to any point below the revenue neutral rate to not be considered a tax increase.
A homeowner of a $200,000 house with a standard $5,000 exemption paid about $510 in property taxes this year.
Wood said the city is expecting its property tax digest to decline by 5 percent and the rate increase would cover the $260,000 shortfall that would stem from the digest's decline.
The overall budget is up slightly from the current $32.3 million budget, but Canton leaders said they were planning on going through the numbers to make additional cuts to avoid the revenue neutral increase.
Wood said the city has worked hard to transfer allowable projects into the city's Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax fund and noted he's already made $524,908 in cuts before presenting the draft to the City Council.
The city's general fund is proposed at $10.7 million; $900 in its cemetery fund; $220,500 in its hotel/motel tax fund; $2.9 million in its SPLOST accounts; $3.8 million in its roads and sidewalks fund, down considerably from $6.6 million; $250,631 in its impact fee fund; $11 million in its water and sewer fund; $1.1 million in its stormwater fund; $1.1 million in its sanitation fund and $1 million in its municipal court fund.
The stormwater fund came under scrutiny when the Stormwater Advisory Board requested the council to reduce the fee by 25 percent.
Members of the board were alarmed when they learned the city had been using some of the fund's revenue to pay for the Hickory Flat Highway and Waleska Street pedestrian improvement projects, improvements to Main Street and upcoming improvements to Marietta Road.
Mayor Gene Hobgood said he would consider reducing the stormwater fee charged to residents.
He also said he and the other council members are also hoping to find areas they can cut in order to avoid a millage rate increase
The council on Thursday decided to not move forward with a 3 percent cost-of-living raise for all of its 125 full-time employees.
It asked the city manager to use about $160,000 of the money to implement merit raises for qualified employees.
"It's just an ongoing process," Hobgood added.
Council member Hooky Huffman noted cities such as Woodstock, Holly Springs, Ball Ground and the Cherokee County government have all raised their millage rates to compensate for the decline in property tax values.
Canton, he added, may need to do the same.
"We're trying our best not have one, but it wouldn't surprise me if we did," he added.
Council member Bill Bryan said he didn't think it would be "fair" to raise the millage rate on Canton residents so long as the city's senior homestead exemption remained in place.
Council member Glen Cummins added the council has agreed to reduce the amount budgeted for its travel, education and training, which he said would demonstrate to residents that they are trying to be "frugal."
Councilman Bob Rush said he hopes enough cuts are made so the city will be able to avoid the millage rate increase, but added he was "resigned" to that hope not becoming a reality.
"No one wants to raise the tax, but there isn't any place else we can cut," he added, noting the city is already down to as few employees it can muster.

General Comments: Futures closed a little higher on follow through buying on wet and cold weather in the forecast for harvest areas later this week. Brazil production has been down a bit lately due to bad harvest weather, but could still improve if the weather gets better soon. However, mills have been more interested in producing ethanol rather than sugar due to price. And, the forecasts for the cold and wet weather will do nothing to enhance the harvest and processing. Countries like Thailand and India also expect more production this year. Some Sugarcane was damaged in the freezes of a couple of weeks ago, and there are forecasts for more wet and cool weather is coming later this week. However, most forecasts call for temperatures to stay above freezing. Demand for ethanol has been good, but there is still a lot of Sugar and the supply side fundamentals seem to overwhelm any demand side strength over time.
Overnight News: Brazil could see dry weather and moderate temperatures for the most part, but frosts and some freezing temperatures are possible in the next couple of days.
Chart Trends: Trends in New York are up with objectives of 1750, 1770, and 1800 October. Support is at 1670, 1650, and 1635 October, and resistance is at 1735, 1750, and 1790 October. Trends in London are up with objectives of 514.00 October. Support is at 494.00, 491.00, and 484.00 October, and resistance is at 508.00, 511.00, and 514.00 October.
General Comments: Futures closed a little lower in consolidation trading. More talk of production problems in the Southeast, and especially Georgia, as well as in Texas aided in the buying. Cotton production was estimated at 13.052 million bales, well below trade estimates. Ending stocks estimates were cut slightly for the US and more significantly for the world. Some buying was tied to reports of very hot weather conditions in China and the weather in Corron areas is not really improving right now in that country. US crops remain behind the normal pace. The poor planting conditions early in the year have made the crop progress behind normal. Texas is dry, but will turn cooler later in the week. Export sales have been on the weak side lately as the buy side of the market waits for prices to work lower. Weather for Cotton still appears good in India.
Overnight News: The Delta and Southeast will see showers and storms through this weekend in eastern areas. Temperatures will average near to below normal. Texas will see dry weather this week and maybe a shower in the north. Temperatures will average below normal this week and near to above normal this weekend. The USDA spot price is now 87.32 ct/lb. ICE said that certified Cotton stocks are now 0.049 million bales, from 0.051 million yesterday. USDA said that Upland Cotton export sales were 38,500 bales this year and 5,300 bales next year. Net Pima sales were 18,000 bales this year and 0 bales next year.
Chart Trends: Trends in Cotton are up with objectives of 92.80 October. Support is at 90.70, 90.10, and 89.10 October, with resistance of 92.00, 92.40, and 93.00 October.
Next page: Orange juice, Coffee and Cocoa
General Comments: Futures closed mostly a little higher as the weather in the tropics starts to show a little more life. There is a system in the western Atlantic that does not show much damage potential and some are starting to form in the Eastern Atlantic as well. It has been hot, but trees are reported in mostly good condition. The most active part of the hurricane season is here. The bulk of the tropical Atlantic is still seeing some very dry conditions and wind shear to prevent tropical storm development, but at least some systems that could become tropical are starting to appear. Growing conditions in the state of Florida remain mostly good. Showers are reported and conditions are said to be very good in almost the entire state. Temperatures are warm. Brazil is seeing near to above normal temperatures and mostly dry weather, and there are reports of stress to trees and the potential for lower production.
Overnight News: Florida weather forecasts call for some showers, but mostly dry conditions. Temperatures will average above normal this week and near normal this weekend.
Chart Trends: Trends in FCOJ are down with no objectives. Support is at 130.00, 125.00, and 124.00 September, with resistance at 135.00, 137.00, and 140.00 September.
General Comments: Futures were higher on Brazil weather forecasts. Cold and wet weather is in the forecast for the next couple of days. Differentials held firm on a lack of offer from producers.

Ghana and Ivory Coast are still too dry, but showers are starting to pick up again. Temperatures are moderate. Production ideas are stable, although some ideas are starting to drop again. There is talk the drier weather could delay the harvest and the arrival of beans to ports.

First spotted at the CeBIT event, the XFX Radeon HD 5970 Black Edition 4 GB graphics card is taking a new shape with the company redesigning its cooler. The older design borrowed heavily from AMD's reference cooler design. Its CGI drawings were released to the press, although the real card with its older cooler was shown off at CeBIT. The HD 5970 Black Edition from XFX sports two AMD Cypress GPUs with 1600 stream processors each, 4 GB of GDDR5 memory across 2x 256-bit memory interfaces, clock-speeds on par with single-GPU Radeon HD 5870 (850/1200 MHz, core/memory), and added overclocking potential. It uses Eyefinity6 display outputs, to single-handedly run six full-HD displays, and multiple Eyefinity display groups. "XFX have always developed the most powerful, versatile Gaming weapons in the world - and have just stepped up to the gaming plate and launched something spectacular that may well literally blow the current NVIDIA offerings clean away," said XFX, in a statement to Nordic Hardware. "GTX480 and GTX470 are upon us, but perhaps the time has come to Ferm up who really has the big Guns." XFX is targeting high-end consumers, the HD 5970 Black Edition is to be made in Limited Quantities, though available shortly. It is expected to be priced at US $1000. Source: NordicHardware
OMG! i need 2.....yes 2...I DONT KNOW WHY!!!.....*cries* *bursts into flames and douses self with saliva* GIVE ME NOW!
First of all, if you are going to spend $1000 on a graphics card, you either have too much money or you really need to get out of the house and find a girlfriend. Second, if the card has a non-reference PCB then I'd worry about overclocking limitations, as you won't be able to adjust voltage.
Well, people spend $999 on Extreme Edition processors (things that are much smaller), so there's a market.
Strange in that article it sounded like they were bad mouthing Nvidia saying that the card will blow away all of Nvidia's offerings.
I sure will get that card. I'll sell my 5970s and buy one of that and put some more cash later and get a 2nd one just to have 8GB of VRAM
Not saying it is completely true in every case but if they are correct then I would say... the truth hurts. I guess XFX thought it was accurate and Nvidia should build a 640W card to out run it. J/K fellas Thats a monster card though to bad Ill never own one. I couldn't afford the rest of the system needed to push it. Never hurts to dream a little though.
A wife/gf/female thingy will cost you, in the long run, much more than a grand. And GPUs come with certificates, most females come already broken (even if the surface looks clean&shiny) and you must repair at them every day. Spending time with females result in small byproducts that will cost you even more $. Again, you will get nothing out of this... It is also illegal to use wives in SLI/Xfire configurations, but there are places where it is permitted to have even Quad configs, however it is said that you cannot make use of them all at once. What stays hidden won't bother the neighbours, though... Maybe the only good thing is that a GPU becomes obsolete much quicker than a good female, if you manage to find one, and you must buy another.
Of course there is a market. I'm just saying it's a crap load of cash for any computer component. I'd rather take the cash and spend a weekend in Aruba with the wife, but hey that's just me. Funniest thing I've read all day. On a serious note, I'm rather fond of my "small byproducts". They make my days brighter than any computer ever could.
Well what they said is accurate - this card does beat fermi quite happily - xfx would prefer you to buy the card which gets them the biggest profit, and this card gets that for them due to its limited edition status and custom cooler design which allow them to charge a massive premium. I'd never waste my money on a card like this as you could buy a standard 5970 and watercool it to get better speed and cooling than you would with this card, all for less money too.
Haha! you got a point here! anyways, I'd never buy a card that costly, but if it was to given for free, then, that's another story! I'd be a lie if you told me you wouldn't take it!
There's a 'premium' segment of pretty much every commodity, isn't there? When I was small, I used to LMAO over how grownups could spend $1000s on little shiny stones.
I still LMAO on how us grownups could spend that kind of jack on "little shiny stones". Grown ups should spend money on creating memories.
That's right, Micron Technology, Kingston, etc are looking good with demand going up this year. Time to buy stock. (spending money on creating memories).

In a case that has captured international attention, two of Saudi Arabia's most prominent human rights activists were each sentenced on Saturday to at least 10 years in prison, Saudi activists report.
They had been found guilty earlier Saturday of providing inaccurate information to foreign media, founding and operating an unlicensed human rights organization, as well as other offenses.
Mohammed Al-Qahtani and Abdullah Al-Hamid, co-founders of the Saudi Civil and Political Rights Association, had been on trial since last year. The high-profile case has garnered widespread criticism from international rights groups that have said the charges against the men were politically motivated.
Al-Qahtani was sentenced to 10 years in prison, as well as given a 10-year travel ban, Saudi activists said. He was ordered arrested after the verdict was issued.
Al-Hamid was sentenced to five years in prison as well as being ordered to serve an additional six years from a previous prison sentence of which he had been pardoned by Saudi King Abdullah in 2006. Al-Hamid was given an additional five-year travel ban and also ordered arrested after the verdict was issued.
Abdulaziz Al-Shubaily is a member of the Saudi Civil and Political Rights Association, and he said he attended Saturday's session at criminal court in Riyadh, the capital. He told CNN the courtroom was packed, "full of journalists, activists, as well as a heavy security presence."
Al-Qahtani, a 46-year-old economics professor, faced nine charges, including breaking allegiance to the Saudi king, describing Saudi Arabia as a police state and turning people and international bodies against the kingdom.
Al-Hamid faced similar charges, including spreading chaos, questioning the authority of official clerics and undermining public order.
In an interview with CNN in January, Al-Qahtani called the accusations against him and Al-Hamid nonsense, saying he knows why he and Al-Hamid were really put on trial -- that they had stoked the ire of the kingdom for running an activist group that is trying to expose human rights violations there.
"We have a number of cases where people are thrown in prison arbitrarily, torture, forced disappearances. ... Whatever rights abuses (you could think of), you could find in Saudi Arabia," Al-Qahtani said.
According to rights groups, Saudi authorities have been increasingly targeting activists through the courts and travel bans.
Tamara Al-Rifai, spokeswoman for Human Rights Watch's Middle East and North Africa Division, told CNN in January, "This has been a systematic approach by the authorities in Saudi Arabia -- namely, the targeting and harassing of activists across the country."
Al-Rifai explained that accusations against activists generally include "instigating chaos, gathering illegally, harming the reputation, talking to foreigners, talking to the media, etc."
She said there is no clear criminal law in Saudi Arabia and that people "are being arbitrarily arrested and detained for exercising rights that are stipulated by all international human rights laws, but also the Arab Charter of Human Rights, to which Saudi Arabia has adhered."
In June, Amnesty International issued a statement calling Al-Qahtani's trial "just one of a troubling string of court cases aimed at silencing the kingdom's human rights activists."
Despite repeated attempts, CNN was unable to reach Saudi Arabia's Interior Ministry for comment.
When asked in January about the case and about accusations that Saudi Arabia is cracking down on dissent, Maj. Gen. Mansour Al-Turki, spokesman for the Saudi Interior Ministry, told CNN, "At the Interior Ministry, our area of responsibility is security."
"My understanding is that these cases are being looked at by the courts now," Added Al-Turki. "Nobody will comment on cases being looked at by the courts."
Also known by the acronym ACRPA, the Saudi Civil and Political Rights Association, founded in 2009, reported on human rights violations and attempts to help relatives of political prisoners free their loved ones through lawsuits against the government. Despite repeated attempts to obtain an operating license, the Saudi government did not give them one.
In December 2010, ACPRA called for all Saudis to participate in a public sit-in to demand political reform. The sit-in was canceled, as the ministry of interior told the organizers their request was refused.

vacation rental description
Experience the tranquil Gulf waters of the Florida Keys from the unique perspective of your own floating home - docked at your own private tropical island. This property rents from Saturday to Saturday.
Your houseboat will be permanently docked at our private Tropical Island 'Quiet Cove Key' (aka Charlie's Island) on the gulf side of marathon. You receive free exclusive use of our private tropical islandfor camping, picnicking, swimming, kayaking, snorkeling adventures and so much
more. We provide a 17' Triumph motor boat for transportation to and from your
island and recreational purposes during your stay. (The boat is only for use within 1 mile of shore. This is not a deep water boat.) This worry free site is
truly a get away from it all. This exposed fossilized ancient reef is
beautifully landscaped with trails wandering throughout. You can enjoy
wandering the paths through the mangrove trees, fishing from the docks, swimming,
kayaking & snorkeling in the crystal clear waters around the island. We
provide a grill and picnic tables for your tropical picnic as well as a hammock
for the perfect perch to enjoy the tropical breezes off the Gulf waters. There
are lounge chairs for sunning or just simply relaxing. There are also two hard
top canopies in the center of the island as well as a composting toilet. This vacation
rental is ideal for people who are interested in a rustic, camp like adventure!
The island is located in a beautiful, quiet, private cove. There are no homes
along the shoreline of the cove. The island is surrounded my mangroves from the
western gulf side edge of Curry Hammock State Park.
Your Florida Keys houseboat and island vacation adventure includes a 2 bedroom / 2 bathroom
Houseboat which sleeps 6 guests. Our houseboats come fully equipped, offering
you a safe and comfortable home base for your Florida Keys activities - the
perfect place to kick off your shoes, lay back and relax.
The free private dock where you launch the motor boat from is conveniently located in a quiet dead neighborhood on 6th Avenue, Gulf just past Mile Marker 54 and the island is
just a short boat ride away. These locations are in Marathon Florida - also
known as the "Heart of the Keys" - this private vacation rental is
just a heartbeat away from all the Florida Keys has to offer and no matter
where in the keys you are headed, the views and feel of the Keys are nothing
short of awe inspiring which just makes the travel time fly. Anyone coming for the first time, be warned, when you leave the keys and return to the real world, you will have a longing
to go back to the Florida Keys.
We will take time to familiarize you with your houseboat. As always, we are available to
answer any questions you may have!
Here is a testimonial from one of our recent guests:
We so enjoyed our trip to Charley's Island & the house boat.
John & the guys who helped us get set up went way above & beyond what
we had expected. The entire experience was above and beyond anything we could
of imagined. The solitude and privacy was amazing, we were greeted by dolphins
in the mornings & evenings almost every day we were there. The Pelican's
were fun to watch, the kayaks were cool, and there was fishing poles &
snorkel gear. If you are a camper this is the place for you, if you are a hotel
person than probably not. The Island Fish company was about a 10 minute boat
trip and had amazing food & service. The Holiday inn express in Marathon is
also a very nice place to stay while waiting to board your boat or island.
We told every person we talked to at all of these places that Rent My Island is the
best kept secret of the Keys.

How To Get Started In A Nursing Career
You certainly do have many career choices that are open to you. If you enjoy working with people and tend to work well in a busy atmosphere, however, you may want to consider one of the RN careers within the healthcare industry (Source: RN Careers by Find Nursing Degrees). To be certain, there are many different choices that are available to you when you decide to become a nurse. You can work with a wide range of individuals in the emergency room, become a delivery room nurse or perhaps even help older individuals in your local area. All of these are going to require at least some form of education to help get you started. When choosing a nurse school, however, what are some of the things that you should consider?
First of all, you need to choose an accredited school so that any credits you receive from your education are going to count now and for the long term. You also need to make a decision if you are going to be attending college in your local area or if you are going to be taking the classes that you need on the Internet. Many nurses who are already in a nursing position find that it is to their benefit to take the online classes because it gives them the opportunity to further their education in their off hours. It may also help you if you are not in an area that has the schools that are necessary to give you a good education that will further your career.

Title: Really cute and high quality cards!
Date: Aug 03, 2013
I ordered these cards as thank you cards for my baby shower. They are super cute. The cards stock is good quality and not cheap or flimsy. I read somewhere else that you had to use only a permanent marker to write in them. But, I wrote in them with a regular ballpoint pen and had no problems. They also have actual rhinestones glued on the cover! Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase!

I bought these as part of the package for my sister's baby shower. They are really nice quality and fairly big (rare sometimes for Thank You cards). If you go with the Carter's Baby Girl theme, these are a must!

Hotel Des Artistes, Estate of the Day
My library love reaches it ultimate point in today's property a duplex at The Hotel Des Artistes, 1 West 67th in New York City. The building is located off Central Park West and designed by George Mort Pollard in a Neo-Gothic-style building in 1916. The nine-room duplex opens to a large foyer and a great room with a wall of double height leaded glass windows. The room is framed by a double height, oak paneled 2,500 volume library and the floor plan shows the layout which includes a media room with a wine cave on one side balanced by a formal dining room and kitchen on the other. Upstairs is given over to bedrooms with a master suite in a private wing that has an ample dressing room. Three other bedrooms plus a small office are located on the other side. Building amenities include a La Palestra Health Club, pool, squash court and roof terrace and there is a concierge and an elevator attendant. This apartment is listed at $6.95 million through Sotheby's.
