ATI Releases New TV Wonder tuner cards
Two new dedicated TV tuner solutions have made their way into ATI's lineup today, one of these based on ATI's recently announced Theater 650 Pro single-chip hardware MPEG2 encoder and video decoder; this card falls into their lineup as the "TV Wonder 650". The lower spec'd "TV Wonder 200" is more of a no-frills software driven tuner card which uses a Conexant TV decoder.
The DailyTech has all the details on them folks.
To enhance video quality the Theater 650 Pro supports video enhancement features such as 3:2 pull-down, motion compensated noise reduction and edge enhancement. There's also an integrated hardware DRM engine for support of the upcoming broadcast flag. FM radio capabilities are also supported. The TV Wonder 650 also comes with a Remote Wonder Plus wireless RF remote control too. ATI's TV Wonder 650 is compatible with Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 and upcoming Windows Vista.

Sony Releases $750 Blu-ray Disc Recorder
Although still way too pricey to be considered a mainstream form of media storage just yet, it's good to see Sony have released a Blu-ray Disc Recorder selling at only $750 (compared to the $1,000ish price tags slapped on other models released to date).
The DailyTech and XBit report with the details.
Sony has released its BWU-100A Blu-ray disc drive for computer systems. The BWU-100A is a standard 5.25" PATA disc drive with playback and recording support for Blu-ray discs. Playback of Blu-ray movies will be supported with the BWU-100A, however, an HDCP compliant graphics card and display is required to playback protected AACS content. A high definition display is also required to experience the full 1080 lines of high definition goodness.

HDDVD and Blu-Ray As One
Looks like both the Blu-Ray and HD-DVD formats will be made compatible for reading AND burning by a single drive after all, at least based on a new technology by Ricoh which involves a "diffraction plate" this seems to be the case. I had a feeling this would happen eventually. A *BIG* thumbs up to Ricoh.
TOKYO - Trying to bridge the gap between next-generation optical disk formats, Ricoh said it has developed an optical component that reads and writes all disk formats-Blu-ray Disc and HD-DVD, as well as DVD and CD-with one pickup and one objective lens.
Ricoh will show the optical device at the International Optoelectronics Exhibition '06 outside Tokyo on July 12-14. The company intends to offer the device to OEMs by year's end.
BenQ Announces BW1000 Blu-ray PC Recorder
One of the first Blu-ray recorders has finally popped up, BenQ's new BW1000. Unfortunately the 1000 in its name suits it with regard to its $1,000 USD price tag (OUCH!), but then I guess that was to be expected :/
The Dailytech cover all the details.
After months of waiting, it's finally here: the BenQ BW1000 Trio PC Blu-ray recorder. BenQ announced the player just one month ago, claiming it would become one of the more prolific recorders on the market.
The single-layer recorder can record BD-R media at speeds up to 2X, but can read dual-layer Blu-ray media as well. The drive features a single-lens optical pickup with three separate lasers that will read and record Blu-Ray, DVD+/-R and CDRs. BenQ claims the device will also write single-layer DVD+/-R media at 12X, 4X for DVD+/-R DL, 8X for DVD+/-RW, and 32X CAV for CD-R.

Parents in Halifax and the surrounding communities have a new way to buy and sell children's goods. Items on ToddlerTrunk.com include new and gently used clothes, toys, furniture, and strollers. Items are organized by type, gender, and age, making it easy for parents to find the stuff they need.
In addition to buying and selling items, users give items away for free in exchange for Rubies. A Ruby has a value of $10.00. When users join the site, they receive five free Rubies that they can trade for children's items. Users also receive Rubies for posting items and logging into the site.
Unlike other resale sites, ToddlerTrunk.com tries to put a face on everyone's profile to create a community of parents in local neighbourhoods. Users have the option of signing into the site with their Facebook or Twitter accounts, so users have a better chance of knowing if the seller or the buyer is a friend, a neighbour, or an acquaintance. ToddlerTrunk.com also provides online community space for parents.
"Meeting other moms and dads can be challenging when you're a busy parent," said Jennifer Scace, CEO and Nova Scotia native. "We make it easy for moms and dads to connect with other local parents, while decluttering their homes of unneeded children's items. We also help parents save money on great stuff for their little ones."
ToddlerTrunk.com is available in Toronto, Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, and Halifax. It will be launching in many smaller cities in March.

This is an awesome bumper that costs less than even the factory one. It is of very sturdy construction, has a real clean look to it, and installs super easily. It also has the options to upgrade it later with a light bar, and it comes pre-drilled for a winch. Sweet little unit.Was this review helpful for you? YesNoShare this review:

New York State Tourist Traps
Times Square
CNN named Times Square in 2011 as one big tourist trap and this is a fact as not only is there so much electronic and digital billboards lining the area around it and the theater district beside it, but it has tons of odd characters like the naked cowboy and naked cowgirl and other odd wannabees impersonating a famous someone or movie character and...more
Tour Buses
If you are going to waste some money, at least be friendly to the environment! Apart from walking, which is the healthiest, cheapest and most interactive way to experience the city, visitors and residents alike can get the exact same tours for the $2 price of a MetroCard on the local MTA city buses (most of which are clean air electric hybrids)....more
Statue of Liberty
The food at the cafe is not very good, eat before you come to the island. The food is all cooked up front and is left lying around so when you buy it is dry. Where you eat your food there are a lot of flys and birds pooping.more
Empire State Building
The employees were really nice, most of them ask you where you come from, some say a phrase in your language, some say something related to your country. The audio tour is totally worth it...I mean, that way you do know what the heck you are actually watching, specially if you go at night. Another thing about the audio tour, it keeps you 'busy'...more
Eletronics Shops
My husband and I walked into the Empire Camera Store in New York simply to look at cameras as our camera had been playing up. I would not normally purchase anything without doing some research first but these guys are so good at what they do - ripping off the tourist - that before we knew it we had purchased a camera that we knew little about. We...more

Airport Travel
Note that you can use the metrocard to the airport. You just need to top it up at the interchange between the subway line and the airport line. There will be people at the interchange who claim you cannot do this and ask for the card-it is a scam. The metrocard itself expires after a year an is worth a dollar.more
Theme Restaurants
Food traps to avoid: Street meat - Toronto Street meat is way better. The hot dogs are nothing but skinny red hots for $3/dog. Not worth it. Street Pretzels: they are dusty and chalky and there weren't no dipping sauce. Large eateries= mucho denaros. Our first night in New York we went to the only place we could think of right off the bat: Times...more
So, I know this may come as a shock to many, but the guys on the streets selling the Rolex, Movado, and Taghauer watches for $20, are selling knock offs. I know, I know, Say It Isn't So!

Central Park
Do not get on a pedicab without negotiating the price first and without verifying their licensing. Our driver charged $5 a minute and ended up not being licensed.

Going Out of Business
This shop claims with "shop inventarisation 30% price-off" and therefore huge discounts to easy-victim tourists like myself: I left with a Canon Rebel camera with Sigma zoom lens for appr. 1700 bucks. Very soon, I found out that this set costs less than the half in any normal camera shop. Furthermore, they are frauding by impressing the buyer with...more
Street Vendors
As we were leaving a Broadway play we were stopped by a street person selling cd's to promote his sister's rap career. Only $5. All I had was a $20. No problem. ends up I got a blank cd and 3 counterfeit $5s. Only we didn't know they weren't real until we tried to spend them. Great lesson and a pretty cool souvenir. I would rather just give my...more
One of the more interesting places for bargain hunters is Chinatown. There's block after block after block of shops selling jewelry. 'Rolex' watches and electronics, as well as other goodies.

Little Italy
Over the years Little Italy has shrunk down to basically three blocks of one street- Mulberry St. Most everything there is for the tourists, with some exceptions, like the Italian food stores (meats, cheeses, etc).

The discount TKTS booth in New York is not like London, the lines can be VERY long and not very efficient.

And unlike London or Chicago, the TKTS booth does not accept credit cards, only cash or...more
Helicopter Trips
We went to one of those Helicopter tours, I don´t remember the name of the company, there use to be a few but now there´s only one licensed company so it will be the same company we used.

South Street Seaport
Why people visit this area confounds me. I suppose it is pleasant in the day to look at the bridges, ships and east river and shop at Pier 16. Still, do not hang around here at night. It is more than safe. However, you will be surrounded by tourists and overall it is not an entertaining area. The bars and restaurants are overpriced and are not...more
New York Stock Exchange
Not sure if this is the right category, but seeing this was less than impressive. You had to wait in line for about 40 minutes to get in, get thoroughly checked over (pre-9/11. probably much worse now). Then you can go in, and stand around the outside looking down on the exchange. The view you get is the same one you've seen on the news a million...more

Niagara Falls
I was not sure whether to include Niagara Falls under "Things to Do" or "Tourist Traps."

However, the area surrounding the falls is one big tourist trap. There are many attractions and...more

TV writer and journalist Caroline Kepnes has signed a two-book deal with Atria imprint Emily Bestler Books.
You, the first book, is touted as a "terrifying, insightful and darkly humorous story" about a man named Joe's obsession with a woman, how he stalks her on the internet and in real life to the point of learning how to make her fall in love with him. The novel is pitched as a "gripping, page-turn[er] … about passion, voyeurism and possession" and Joe as "the ultimate antihero for today's hyperconnected digital age." Publication is scheduled for September.
"Caroline's novel is hands down one of the scariest, most riveting studies of a depraved psychology I have ever read," said editor Emily Bestler in a statement. "Caroline's voice is captivating and unbelievably addictive."
Kepnes was represented by WME's Jennifer Rudolph Walsh and Claudia Ballard, and Josh Bank, Sara Shandler and Lanie Davis of Alloy Entertainment, which has shepherded more than 75 bestsellers to market, including the Pretty Little Liars, Vampire Diaries and Gossip Girl book series. You is part of Alloy's strategy to add a small adult list to its successful YA offerings.
Foreign rights have been pre-sold in nine territories, including the U.K. and France, with more expected to be added shortly.
Keppnes' TV credits include The Secret Life of the American Teenager and 7th Heaven. She's also written for Entertainment Weekly and published several short stories.
Details of the second book were not released.

D'Elia is quickly becoming one of the most sought-after young comedians and actors in the comedy world, with Variety naming him one of its "Top 10 Comics to Watch." He also recently completed his first multi-city, cross-country standup tour, "Under No Influence."
D'Elia quickly became a regular at the Hollywood comedy clubs where he performs multiple times a week. In December 2013, he released his one-hour standup special for Comedy Central, "White Male. Black Comic." He has also appeared on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" and on "Comedy Central Presents."
D'Elia's other credits include Comedy Central's "Workaholics," TBS' "Glory Daze" and Showtime's "Live Nude Comedy."
He currently resides in Los Angeles.

Bryan Callen
Born in the Philippines, Bryan Callen spent the first fourteen years of his life overseas in countries like India, Pakistan, Lebanon, Greece and Saudi Arabia, before moving to the U.S. He went to high school in Massachusetts and earned his B.A. in History at the American University in Washington D.C.
Callen has spent the last 17 years in Los Angeles fighting traffic because that's where he seems to find the most work (Callen is also writing this but making it seem like someone ELSE is writing this by referring to himself in the 3rd person). Callen got his start as an original cast member of MAD TV. He then went on to play numerous roles on the small and big screen including, "Old School" "Bad Santa", "Sex and the City", "Entourage," "Californication", "7th Heaven," "King of Queens," "Stacked," "Las Vegas," "West Wing," "News Radio," "Significant Others," "CSI," "NYPD Blue," "Suddenly Susan," and "Frasier." He recently finished a two-season character arc on USA's "In Plain Sight."
Callen is not a famous actor but sometimes people look at him and scream "Bilson," since that's the character he played on several episodes of CBS's "How I Met Your Mother." His most recent TV role was Captain Frank Dashell, leader of the Undead Task Force, in the short-lived but critically acclaimed MTV comedy, "Death Valley." He has been recognized for that role exactly 4 times but who cares since he's been recognized over one million times (I'm guessing) as EDDIE, the Middle Eastern owner of a wedding chapel in a little movie called THE HANGOVER. Not to mention his role as Samir, in HANGOVER II where he played basically the same exact character only Samir had thick, curly, hair and darker skin which is actually a good look on Callen considering his Irish/Italian heritage has left him with a ruddy complexion and thinning, mouse-brown hair. He's had roles in the Lion's Gate drama WARRIOR and the 2014 feature film RIDE ALONG starring Kevin Hart and Ice Cube. He's also performed a standup comedy special called MAN CLASS on SHOWTIME.
Between acting gigs Callen spends his time power lifting, taming lions, vanquishing evil and making people laugh as a stand up comic.
Rich Vos
Rich Vos is an incredibly gifted comic who not only has sharp, insightful material, but he is also a master at working the crowd.
Hisability to perform in front of any audience has landed him television shows as varied as being the first white comic on Def Jam to performing on the View.
Rich was the breakout star of NBC's Last Comic Standing seasons 1 and 3, was a regular guest on Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn and wrote for Chris Rock when he hosted The Academy Awards in 2005. He also played Lenny Bruce on NBC's American Dreams and is a regular on the Opie and Anthony radioshow.
He has one of the highest rated half hour specials on comedy central and his DVD just sold over 40 copies.

So You Want to Be a Beekeeper?
Are you thinking about taking up beekeeping but don't know where to start? This informational session will review the time and financial commitments involved in keeping a hive, advice and a timeline for preparing for your first season, and the potential rewards and pitfalls you'll experience as a first year beekeeper. The session will conclude with a panel discussion where you'll receive insight and valuable advice from long-time beekeepers and those just finishing their first full year.
Class will be held at The Inn at Hudson Gardens.
Beyond the Basics: Advanced Topics in Beekeeping
What pests and diseases do beekeepers need to worry about in Colorado? Why, how, and when should I make a split? Is a combine the right solution for my weak hives? Learn the answers to these questions and more, during this course designed for experienced beekeepers. Led by Hudson Gardens' Lead Beekeeper Bob Shiflet, this course will offer ample opportunities for questions and discussion regarding several not-so-basic beekeeping topics such as pests and diseases, splits and combines, advanced hive inspections, and honey harvesting. Experience level: Intermediate- Advanced. Participants must have at least one year of beekeeping experience.
Class will be held at The Inn at Hudson Gardens.
Overwintering Honeybee Hives
Learn what happens to honeybees during their "dormant" winter months and what you can do to carry your hives successfully into the next season. Hudson Gardens' Lead Beekeeper Bob Shiflet will help you discover how to assess the strength of your colony and determine the appropriate amount of honey stores your hive will need the upcoming winter months. Supplemental feeding, including when and how to feed, will be explained. You'll discover the various methods available for protecting your hives from wind and cold temperatures, and how each method impacts honeybees. The course will conclude with a discussion of winter pest management techniques and an off-season "to-do" list for improving your beekeeping knowledge and skills. Experience level: Beginner.
Class will be held at The Inn at Hudson Gardens.

Chapter 5
Flying Solo with Diabetes
If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours….If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.
--Henry David Thoreau
The Passion Remains
All throughout my new career, the passion to fly remained. It was, however, subdued for the first few years. I sometimes visited flying clubs near London, grabbing an instructor to act as a safety pilot and flying small planes like a Cessna 172 or Piper Cherokee. It was never the same as flying a jet, but it was tremendous to be airborne and blow some cobwebs away. It was also a relief to find I could still land an airplane, albeit rattling a few of the instructors' dentures.
Twice I flew in a high-performance aerobatic Pitts Special at White Waltham's grass airstrip even though the cost was prohibitive (clearly an issue for a Scotsman). Flying loops, stall turns, slow rolls and flick maneuvers over Berkshire's beautiful farmland was terrific, just like old days. It was always a mixed experience though. I was incredibly happy to fly each time but frustrated and depressed to get back on the ground, knowing I couldn't do this a desired career.
Each time I flew, I tested my blood sugar shortly before takeoff and always took plenty of carbohydrates with me in the cockpit. I would chew on some sweets after half an hour if I thought my blood sugar was dropping. I never had any lows while flying. It was food for thought—I was confident that flying was safe with diabetes if I was sensible and disciplined. Had I known that I would be able to fly in the U.S. a few years later and could carry out a world flight, I would have been extremely excited. But I also would have been quite incredulous. In the early 90s, aviation authorities seemed vehemently opposed to anyone flying with diabetes.
At one stage, I dabbled in some aerial photography. It was really an excuse to get me flying. I snapped away with a large camera while leaning out the window of a Cessna 172, 500 feet above Berkshire's countryside. I marked the track on a map, and later matched photos up with houses along the route. At the end of each flight, I would take the controls for landing, a tremendous way to finish off.
I quite enjoyed selling photos on a few Saturdays. I came across some stunning properties and met a few of England's landed gentry. My sale strike rate was 25% (one sale for every four calls) and as a tiny part-time project, it proved marginally cash generative and profitable. Overall it was fun to combine some flying with photography this way.
On other occasions, I'd go flying on an opportunities basis. After a new business presentation in Leeds, I had two hours to kill before flying back to London, so I nipped over to the Leeds/Bradford Airport flying club and went up in a Cessna 152 Aerobat with an instructor. Pulling loops, barrel rolls and stall turns was a great way to finish a working day! During the short flight, I saw my old base in the distance. A fleeting though passed by, that one day it would be a great to fly my own aircraft over the same airspace. Little did I know that nine years later I would do exactly this with a U.S. pilot's license.
Not long after leaving the RAF and moving to London, I contacted the Civil Aviation Authority to see if there might be developments to allow people with diabetes to fly. The elderly medic I spoke with was sympathetic and felt that while yes, there were people who could be well controlled, it would take many years before they would be allowed to gain a medical. He did, however, encourage me to keep in touch every couple of years.
A few years later, I spoke to a different guy. It was a depressing experience. He made it quite clear during our conversation that I was wasting his time, outlining the likelihood of people flying with insulin-dependent diabetes was in his opinion, zero. I was distressed when his assistant was also disparaging about people flying with diabetes. I was only too aware that if I lost it, or got angry, little help or consideration would ever be offered. It was best to be positive and constructive in any approach, and try to work with the authorities rather than against them. Unfortunately the second medic was aggressive and, without meaning to be, was quite insulting in his approach. (If someone is being defensive, perhaps it is easier to miss how insulting comments can be.) That was in the 1990s. Fortunately things have changed positively since then. It is now possible for me to fly in four countries, the U.S., U.K., Australia, and Canada. However, the U.S. is the only country that allows full, unrestricted private-licensed flying.

Interactive John Griffith examines 21 ideas for transitioning the government-sponsored enterprises to a new system of U.S. housing finance.
Alon Cohen explains that selling Fannie Mae's foreclosed properties individually is risky while selling the properties in bulk ensures these foreclosed properties provide affordable, stable rental housing.
Alon Cohen updates CAP's scorecard for Fannie Mae's pilot program to convert foreclosed homes to rental properties.
Alon Cohen explains how joint ventures with community organizations will benefit Fannie Mae's pilot program to rehabilitate its foreclosed homes to create more rental housing.
CAP's Mortgage Finance Working Group provides comments on the Federal Housing Finance Agency's draft strategic plan.
David Min explains that all of the world's advanced countries provide significant levels of government guarantees to their housing finance systems.
Congress can save taxpayer dollars while giving underwater borrowers a fighting chance of staying in their homes, writes John Griffith.
John Griffith argues that with most of the mortgage industry embracing principal reduction as a way to help troubled homeowners, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac should follow suit.
David Min counters the conservative claim that many governments worldwide don't provide guarantees for mortgage finance.
New legislation would help more homeowners refinance through the Home Affordable Refinance Program, writes John Griffith.
Congress can step up and help the more than 3 million homeowners that cannot refinance their mortgages to today's low rates, writes John Griffith.
Issue Brief David Min details the several ways the U.S. government guarantee on residential mortgages works and then compares those processes with the very different but equally important government role in guaranteeing home mortgages across Europe.
John Griffith testifies before the the U.S. House of Representatives Congressional Progressive Caucus.

It sure sounds like the city attorney has let this get way out of hand and as such is costing the city and Ms. O'Neill way too much in terms of time and money. It seems to me that sometimes those in power forget who they're working for and it's not their egos.

Sounds like the same old City of Palo Alto that we all have learned to distrust. I would like to make contact with this person to make avalible the huge amount of written material I have. Maybe we can join together to fight this TOXIC cloud that seems to have formed over the City of Palo Alto.. All victums must stand up and fight together to make Palo Alto the place it could be and should be.

great job!
It's beautiful this creature...! Excellent job! This one is the best...!
this guy looks very deadly. I love its arms, they look like they could be used as blades and fins.
blow me away...remind of those creature in Final Fantasy game. yes, you are at that standard. congrats you got your DD. definitely deserve it.
just epic! congrats!
that looks cool
I'm a bit confused. Stock creature, that mean we can you your image as stock like for manip, 3d reference ... ?
You can use this creature image any way you want. If you need high-res creature art, for publishing, check out MonstersByEmail.com
this is epic
Very badass sea monster!
I'd love to know more about this creature's history. One of my favorite parts about your beasts is the level of background detail you put into them.
Really liking the serpentine things lately.
Ironicaly, this stock creature is somewhat nonstandard.
Way too effin awesome to just be any stock creature, please tell me there's like a mutated version for a "big baddie"
Reminds me of Eelektross ^^
For a second, I thought the creature's right wing was its bottom jaw. I have never been so confused in my life.
Kool~ 'From the depths I come'
what a fascinating beast
Thank you, darkdragon770! Fascinating is good.
how do you come up with names for these?
Do you like the names?
yes, and I've always had issues coming up with names for creatures I think up of.
Just wondering where you get the ideas for them.
Just wondering where you get the ideas for them.
The problem is not coming up with names. The problem is; every time I do find a name which sounds good, and google it, it is already taken by WOW, or some other game I have never heard of.
MOst of those names, to my understanding, are not copy writable. So even if a game is already using a name, as long as the design is your own, it shouldn't be a problem. Unless you are going for orignal names.
That's probably correct, but it would be rather annoying having everyone go: "But that's a creature in that X game!!!"
I don't know. I taste sounds.
That is fucking creepy.....I LOVE IT XD
Thank you, Aurora. What makes it creepy?
XD Indeed! We are in the same time zone. Very well then.
Cool! I want to fight it! >=]

How can I recover data from a broken hard drive?
I recently purchased a 250 GB Western Digital Caviar SE hard drive. It's a internal hd and I foolishly thought it would be ok sitting on my desk hooked up through a ide-usb cable. It also has a power cable which runs down the side of my desk. Well long story short it fell off of my desk due to someone snagging the power cable and now my computer will not recognize it. I have a lot of important data on it which I would really like to recover. Any ideas?

What I liked in TESO was that you had to explore a bit to find new quest lines and interesting places. I remember playing it for the first time after Wildstar with "go to next hub, do quests there, get quest redirecting to the next hub" etc. mindset, I was actually skipping a lot of content. Then realized you can just explore and find new stuff to do.
What really killed the game for me, was combat. I played melee templar (sword&board/2h) and TBH it was the most unresponsive, frustrating and not fun melee combat I have ever experienced in MMO.
I don't know, it just didn't feel fun. Templar skills felt boring, slow and weak. I was playing in duo with a caster sorcerer and felt like total weakling. I was running dungeons as a tank, and besides bosses pulls were nightmare to me. Most of them were chaotic AoE zerg.
Is this game dead?
General Discussion « Lord of the Rings Online
If you have never played it before its definitely worth checking out. Keep in mind that lotro is now solo mmo. You don't need group for anything, so you can play it as single player game.
Story is great, especially if you take your time to read the quests. World is very immersive and beautiful, with great looking landscapes and huge areas.
Don't let character models turn you away from this game. They are pretty horrible, but you can get used to them after a while.
Its one of these games I both love and hate. Love for the immersion, world and atmosphere and hate because they completely abandoned the grouping aspect (no new dungeons/raids, the same old instances every expansion, just scaled to max level).
Worth playing if I have no interest in RvR pvp?
General Discussion « Elder Scrolls Online
Hi guys
Ive got a question to beta testers or just anyone with some knowledge about ESO:
Im wondering if I should take any interest in this game if:
1) I really don't like the whole RvR PVP style and probably won't participate in it
2) I really like challenging small/medium size group content that cannot be zerged
Is endgame in ESO all about big scale RvR pvp? Are there any harder dungeons or anything similar?
Because so far it looks like its just solo (and group-unfriendly, which concerns me the most) content and mass pvp.

Product description
Mao Zedong (also known as Mao Tse-tung) is regarded as one of the most controversial figures in modern world history. Having conquered the country, he ruled the People's Republic of China from its establishment as a Communist state in 1949 until the time of his death in 1976. Brilliant and ruthless, his legacy includes guerrilla warfare tactics, violent cultural revolutions, and enduring Communist propaganda. He was named one of the 100 most influential figures of the 20th century by "Time Magazine." Eric Margolis of the "Huffington Post" writes of Chairman Mao: " "Mao was an accomplished poet, writer and historian, a profound thinker, and a superb military strategist. He crushed the US-backed Nationalist's 4.3-million strong armies in a series of titanic battles, forcing his rival, Chiang Kai-shek, to flee to Taiwan... The Great Helmsman united fractured, war-torn China, restoring its pride and self-confidence after two centuries of humiliation. Mao thwarted both Soviet and U.S. efforts to turn China into a client state, and built up China's military power... Mao's aides dared not tell him millions were starving. Red Emperor Mao was prodigal with his people's lives, and, according to aides who were close to him, was shockingly indifferent to their suffering. Mao horrified even brutal Soviet leaders by saying he was prepared to lose half his people to emerge victorious from a nuclear war..."" The third volume in this special collection contains five important lectures and essays by Chairman Mao: *Part 1 - On Policy *Part 2 - On Practice *Part 3 - On Contradiction *Part 4 - On New Democracy *Part 5 - On the Correct Handling of Contradictions among the People Excerpt from "Collected Writings of Chairman Mao - On Policy, Practice and Contradiction" by Mao Zedong Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. Above all, Marxists regard man's activity in production as the most fundamental practical activity, the determinant of all his other activities. Man's knowledge depends mainly on his activity in material production, through which he comes gradually to understand the phenomena, the properties and the laws of nature, and the relations between himself and nature; and through his activity in production he also gradually comes to understand, in varying degrees, certain relations that exist between man and man. None of this knowledge can be acquired apart from activity in production. In a classless society every person, as a member of society, joins in common effort with the other members, enters into definite relations of production with them and engages in production to meet man's material needs. In all class societies, the members of the different social classes also enter, in different ways, into definite relations of production and engage in production to meet their material needs. This is the primary source from which human knowledge develops.

Don Walker offers news, notes and perspective on the sports business landscape
Where Brewers tickets are sold
Approximately 55% of all the tickets sold for Milwaukee Brewers games at Miller Park come from people who live outside the five-county area.
That's the word of the Brewers, who provided new ticket sales data to the Miller Park stadium district.
The high percentage would suggest that people living some distance from the ballpark are buying tickets knowing they don't have to worry about a rainout or postponement. The ballpark opened in March 2001.
In the five-county area, which includes Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Washington, Racine and Waukesha counties, Milwaukee County residents account for the lion's share of the tickets sold in the region: 54.8%.
Waukesha County residents purchase 28.1% of the tickets sold in the five-county area, followed by Racine County (6.8%); Washington County (5.8%); and Ozaukee (4.4%).
Residents in the five-county area pay a 0.1% sales tax to pay for the construction and financing of Miller Park. Of the $24.1 million collected in sales taxes in the region last year, Milwaukee County residents represented 49.7% of that total. Milwaukee County's population is 936,778, just over 54% of the region's population of 1.73 million residents.
