Holding a position like, say, the President of the United States comes with a bit of scrutiny. If you're running for the Oval Office, you'd best expect every classmate you ever sat next to, every acquaintance you were ever photographed with and every pet you ever owned to be grilled for info about your past life. Which is why it's surprising Vanity Fair only recently uncovered these romantic, well-written love letters written by Obama in college haven't yet been seen, nor have the journal entries from one of the women he wrote them to. Check out some of the President's prolific prose after the cut!
1. Barack knew how to impress ladies with eloquent poetry discussion.
Here's an excerpt from a letter to one of his girlfriends, Alex McNear:
I haven't read 'The Waste Land' for a year, and I never did bother to check all the footnotes. But I will hazard these statements — Eliot contains the same ecstatic vision which runs from Münzer to Yeats. However, he retains a grounding in the social reality/order of his time. Facing what he perceives as a choice between ecstatic chaos and lifeless mechanistic order, he accedes to maintaining a separation of asexual purity and brutal sexual reality."
2. Obama's date style was suave and subtle.
Wine in a romantic, old Italian restaurant? With solitary, dimly-lit corners? I would certainly be wooed. McNear writes:
We sat and talked and ate and drank wine. Or at least I drank wine. I think he drank something stronger. It was one of those dark, old Italian restaurants that don't exist in New York anymore. It was the kind of place where they leave you alone. I remember thinking how happy I felt just talking to him, that I could talk to him for hours. We walked slowly back to my apartment, on 90th, and said good-bye. After that we started spending much more time together."
3. He used the phrase "bourgeois liberalism" in a letter.
A man who throws around big words and uses them in an intelligent fashion? Handsome!
Remember how I said there's a certain kind of conservatism which I respect more than bourgeois liberalism — (T.S.) Eliot is of this type."
4. He cooked for his lady friend...with sexy results!
I know for a fact that the fastest way to many women's hearts is through their stomachs. Which may explain why Genevieve Cook uses the word "inevitable" here:
I'm pretty sure we had dinner maybe the Wednesday after. I think maybe he cooked me dinner. Then we went and talked in his bedroom. And then I spent the night. It all felt very inevitable."
5. He knew how to spend a lazy Sunday. In a sarong.
OK, I'm not sure if a sarong qualifies as "strange" or "adventurous and quirky," but based on the above evidence, I'd put up with it.
(Cook) remembered how on Sundays Obama would lounge around, drinking coffee and solving the New York Times crossword puzzle, bare-chested, wearing a blue and white sarong."
Barry, you sure knew how to woo the ladies! Check out more details of his young, romantic life at the source. [via Buzzfeed]

Alec Baldwin Gossip
Alec Baldwin gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Tom's new co-star fits the description
KP Pictures/ Splash, Jason Merritt/ Getty
Tom Cruise was out in London last night just as it was announced that they've cast the female lead in Mission: Impossible 5. Her name is Rebecca Ferguson. She's a Swedish actress, 30 years old, was nominated for a Golden Globe for her performance in The White Queen last year. I've attached a photo. Full Story
No Photos Please (but Likes are Welcome)
FameFlynet, Splash
It's been almost a month since Alec Baldwin "retired" from public life (click here for a refresher), so you knew he was going to pop up again soon. He can't help himself. It's part of his deranged charm. This week, Baldwin's wife Hilaria posted a photo of herself on Instagram Full Story
Dear Gossips,
I'd no time to waste yesterday on Alec Baldwin's 5,000 word PLUS – PLUS! – so called verbal essay in New York Magazine until last night before bed. All that exposition and, really, he could have saved himself the trouble with one word, repeated over and over and over again:
So, if you've not had the opportunity to enjoy it yet, that's pretty much all he had to say.
Not surprisingly, no one bothered to check Baldwin's piece before publishing it. Or perhaps that was deliberate – letting the document stand alone, a testament to his narcissism, a manifesto written in honour of his ego and his version of the truth: he is never wrong. But the entertainment media always is.
Even though he sold his baby photos to PEOPLE, like, five minutes after the birth? Even though his wife keeps dropping yoga poses on the street in the presence of the paps? Even though his wife is/was a correspondent on an entertainment news show!?!?
Baldwin is exiting public life on the COVER OF A F-CKING MAGAZINE. Read Full Intro
Alec Is Mad About Something (or Other)…again
I officially have Alec Baldwin ennui. Usually I am highly entertained by his antics (and he's been in this raging paparazzi cycle before). The narrative is pretty much set -- once he's baited by a photographer, a slew of creative and vulgar insults fly ("You're as dumb as you look"), maybe a scuffle. Full Story
Alec plays nice with PEOPLE
I feel like Kanye West and Alec Baldwin are celebrity best friends. They seem to have a similar attitude when it comes to attention: "Take my picture and I'll freak but please for the love of God take my picture." While Kanye complains about fame and has a baby with a famewhore, Alec has become the most bait-able paparazzi target since Sean Penn. Full Story
Alec Baldwin Quits Twitter, Maybe Acting?
Alec Baldwin quit Twitter again. He wants to quit acting too. Does that make you want to quit Alec Baldwin? This story started, weirdly, at James Gandolfini's funeral, where Hilaria, Baldwin's wife, was accused by The Daily Mail of tweeting during the service which was subsequently proven false by Alec threatening violence on the journalist and then apologised for calling the man a queen, but the damage was done and now Alec's deleted his HootSuite or whatever app he's been so addicted to. Full Story
In the shadow of Shia
We need more Shia LaBeouf in our lives right now. When Shia's around (gossip), it's always a good time. When Shia and Alec Baldwin are both around, we will be happy. The New York Times interviewed the cast -- Baldwin, Ben Foster, Tom Sturridge -- of Orphans recently. Needless to say, Shia came up. Full Story
Front Row Shia
You know what's Good For Gossip? Shia LaBeouf. Hormonal Shia LaBeouf. Are his moods in line with the moon? Whatever. The watching is fun. He's giving us a lot of fun. As you know, Shia was supposed to be on Broadway in Orphans. Then he quit over creative differences after throwing down with that other queen Alec Baldwin. Full Story
Boy/Man Sh-t is also the Best Sh-t
Girl Sh-t Is The Best Sh-t is a common phrase we use here at LaineyGossip and one I stole from my friend Lara. It really is. But Boy Sh-t is pretty great too. Previous examples of Boy Sh-t include Joseph Gordon-Levitt vs Michael Cera (click here for a refresher), Michael Bay vs Hugo Weaving, and Shia LaBeouf vs Jason Clarke and Tom Hardy on the set of Lawless (click here Full Story
Shia, the sharer
It was reported yesterday that Shia LaBeouf had left the Broadway production of Orphans starring Tom Sturridge and Alec Baldwin. Shia and Alec? Those two hotheads? In hindsight, of course it was impossible, disastrous even. But it may have been more than just the two of them yelling at each other. Full Story
Rude, Thoughtless Little Pig Jr.
Jamie McCarthy/ Getty
It hasn't even been a week and I already desperately miss Jack Donaghy. "Good God, I can see every line and pore in your face. It looks like a YMCA climbing wall." And while Tina Fey and the writers were the creative genius behind his acerbic, WASPy insults, the delivery was all Alec Baldwin, who epitomized a charismatic and amoral one percenter. Full Story
Without Irony
I don't think we can talk about this until you've seen it. So here, please watch. The new Rock of Ages trailer. I'll wait for you on the other side. If you're looking for someone to snark on it, you'll have to click away. I can't snark on it. Because I LOVE IT. I love it without irony. Full Story
The Emmy Awards 2011
So Alec Baldwin was supposed to appear in the opening video. Baldwin made a joke about News Corp and the phone hacking business. The bit was subsequently cut. As such, he decided not to be part of it at all which is why Leonard Nimoy ended up playing the president. (Source Full Story
Oscars 2010 & Jimmy Kimmell for 2011?
It may be an unpopular sentiment but Steven Martin and Alec Baldwin worked for me. We laughed heartily in the press room. But they couldn't save a show that was too long, poorly directed, and terribly produced. Enjoyed the 5 actor tribute to the Best Actor and Actress categories, it worked to build suspense, but that dumbass montage to horror with the mismatched music and the uneven pacing of the programme gave it an overall feeling of.

Maple, Red Acer rubrum
Brings color to your landscape year-round. Green stems turn red in winter, new leaves are red-tinged, turning to green. Fall color is deep red or yellow. Flowers are also red. Fast growing and tolerant of many soils. Grows to 40' to 60', 40' spread. (zones 3-9)Pricing Information
Click icons for more information.
Show All |
Hardiness Zones 3 - 9The Red Maple can be expected to grow in the zones shown in color in the arborday.org zone map. View Map
Type of treeShade Trees
Mature HeightThe Red Maple grows to be 40' - 60' feet in height.
Mature SpreadThe Red Maple has a spread of about 40' at full maturity.
Growth RateThis tree grows at a medium to fast growth rate. More about this.
SunThis maple does well in full sun, partial shade.
SoilThe Red Maple grows in acidic, loamy, moist, rich, sandy, silty loam, well drained, wet, clay soils.
ShapeThis maple has oval, rounded, upright or erect shape.
The Red Maple is one of the best named of all trees. There is something red in all seasons - buds in winter, flowers in spring, leafstalks in summer and brilliant foliage in autumn. This pageant of color, along with the tree's relatively fast growth and tolerance to a wide range of soils, makes it a widely planted favorite.
Brings color to your landscape year-round. Green stems turn red in winter, new leaves are red-tinged, turning to green. Fall color is deep red or yellow. Flowers are also red. Fast growing and tolerant of many soils. Grows to 40' to 60', 40' spread. (zones 3-9) Consuming .03% of dry wilted leaves can cause toxicity to horses.
Wildlife Value
The fruits (samaras) provide food for many kinds of rodents, such as squirrels. Rabbits and deer eat the tender shoots and leaves of red maples.
The Red Maple has a lot of claims to fame, including the greatest north-south range of any tree species living entirely in the eastern forests. (Newfoundland to southern Florida). It is also the state tree of Rhode Island. No one seems to know the whole story of why it was selected by the citizens of this smallest of states. In the 1890's a Rhode Island school commissioner gave students a list of trees and asked them to vote on their favorite. Red Maple won, but it was not until 1964 that it was officially adopted as the state tree - making Rhode Island one of last states in the nation to proclaim its tree. The selection may have been because Rhode Island is from the Dutch, meaning "red island." Since the state bird is the Rhode Island red hen, it makes sense that the tree would be one noted for red. The nation's largest Red Maple lies far to the south of Rhode Island in Great Smokey Mountains National Park. This tree was declared champion in 1997 by American Forests and is listed in the National Register of Big Trees as being 141 feet tall and just over 7 feet in diameter at 4-1/2 feet above ground.
Prefers wet soil conditions. Slight drought tolerance.
Opposite, 2-6 inches in length and width, 3-5 triangular lobes with v-shaped sinuses, single or double toothed margins. Emerging color is red tinged gradually changing to medium to dark green above, silvery gray with hairy veins beneath. Autumn color is yellow to red. The petiole (leafstem) is often red.
Flower Color
The dense red or sometimes yellow clusters of small flowers are a dependable harbinger of spring.
Bloom Time
Winter to spring.
Fruit Description
This tree produces twin seeds bound at their tips to a long, drooping stem. Attached to the seeds are wings up to 1 inch long and 1/4 inch wide. The seeds ripen in late spring instead of fall like other maple trees.
Rate of growth refers to the vertical increase in growth unless specified differently. Rate, as is true for size, is influenced by numerous variables such as soil, drainage, water, fertility, light, exposure, ad infinitum. The designation slow means the plant grows 12" or less per year; medium refers to 13 to 24" of growth per year; and fast to 25" or greater.Manual of Woody Landscape Plants, by Michael Dirr.

Esteban Gutierrez is targeting consistency and points in his first season in Formula One.
The Sauber rookie is in Barcelona these week, putting in the laps at the Circuit de Catalunya in preparation for his debut campaign.
However, at the start of the third and final test, Gutierrez believes he is now ready for Formula One to go racing.
"Pre-season testing has been good," he told the official F1 website.
"I've been working for three years to be in this position so everything I do comes fairly naturally. Testing is all about the car and I want to give the best possible feedback to the engineers - concentration is key to this.
"I actually feel quite established now and I'll do everything I can to be as best prepared as possible for my first race in Australia.
"Right now, near the end of the test season, I think that everybody wants to go out do some racing. I feel that everybody is so eager for competition - at least that's what I am feeling very strongly.
"The adrenalin, the challenges of qualifying and then my first time on the grid - I can't wait."
He added: "In terms of the upcoming season, I want to be consistent and, of course, I want to score points. I just have to be there if the chance comes up!"

Yvonne and Sue were incredibly helpful! I've never rented storage space before, but Sue walked me through what I would need, explained the security and layout of the facility, and showed me the space that I eventually ended up renting. Yvonne was very helpful in the days leading up to the actual move---she helped arrange the moving truck and set me up with a lock and packing tape at the last minute. Both were very nice, very helpful, and very professional.Cole from Spencer, NY

I purchased this ring for my boyfriend (I'm going to ask him to marry me). It looks and feels way more than it cost! The colors are beautiful and the metal is very strong. It will make the perfect engagement ring. I checked other places for the same ring and it costs double of what I paid for it on O!!
I purchased this ring for my fiance as his wedding band. I was worried that the ring was going to look cheap or like a fashion ring instead of an engagement ring, but when it came in I was very pleasantly surprised. This ring is absolutely gorgeous and looks even better than it does in the picture. My fiance and I are both extremely happy with the ring and even happier with the price. Similar rings at the jewelry stores around here were going for close to $300!
I found this ring in a jewlery store for over $300.... When I saw it on Overstock I was skeptical that since it was SOOOO much cheaper that it really was going to be the same quality. To my surprise, it was and is the same quality....I love the ring and so does my soon to be husband. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone...... LOVE LOVE LOVE my purchase....... :)
I purchased this ring as an after-Christmas gift for myself. It is AWESOME! I do a lot of construction work and I didn't want to damage my wedding band. This ring is beautiful AND tough. It is so hard that it "rings" when you drop it. The tungston carbide the ring is made of is the same metal used for cutting machine parts, so it will never wear out. Make sure you size it correctly, because it cannot be resized.
This ring is totally awesome. I was a little worried at first because the price was so low and it was online but the minute I pulled the ring out of the box i was completely blown away! its just as good as any other ring you would find in a jewelers shop at a quarter of the price. Plus it was super fast on shipping!! Totally recommend this ring the blue and black is really really cool looking!!
My Husband's spinner band broke and we needed to get him another wedding band. He went through all the pictures and had picked one out that he thought I would want him to get. I told him to get one he liked. He would be wearing it. He found this band and showed it to me and I really liked it. It looks good on his finger and has gotten a couple of compliments on the ring.
It was batter that what i expected..............................
Ring looks exactly as the picture. Wear it every day and so far no scratches. Will buy another ring made from same materials.
Ring has been worn for two months and still looks new. feels light and is very different from traditional ones.
I gave this ring to my husband as a replacement wedding ring because he lost his original. We both really like the ring because it is a little unusual and stands up to abuse. We both like it better than his original gold ring and we don't have to feel bad if he loses it again.
Items must be returned in new or unused condition and contain all original materials included with the shipment.

Editor's note: Sheryl Sandberg, chief operating officer of Facebook, is the author of "Lean In." Watch the second part of Soledad O'Brien's interview with Sheryl Sandberg at 8 a.m. ET Tuesday on CNN.
(CNN) -- My hope in writing "Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead" was to change the conversation from what women can't do to what we can.
We need a national conversation that examines the barriers that hold women back and prevent us from achieving true equality. Additionally and just as importantly, we need personal conversations among us all -- managers and employees, friends, colleagues, partners, parents and children -- where issues about gender are discussed openly.
The blunt truth is that men still run the world. Of today's 195 independent countries, only 17 are led by women. In the United States, where our founding creed promises liberty and justice for all, women constitute just 18% of our elected congressional officials.
Since the early 1980s, educational achievement has steadily increased for women, while leadership in the workplace has plateaued. A meager 21 of the Fortune 500 CEOs are women. Women hold about 14% of executive officer positions and 16% of board seats. The gap is worse for women of color, who hold just 4% of top corporate jobs, 3% of board seats and 5% of congressional seats.
Even more distressing, the percentage of women at the top of corporate America has barely budged over the past decade. This means that when it comes to making the decisions that most affect us all, women's voices are not heard equally.
How do we change this?
As I wrote in "Lean In," women are held back by many institutional barriers: sexism, discrimination, a lack of flexibility and a U.S. public policy that lags behind that of most developed nations. But women are also held back by stereotypes that persist and remain self-fulfilling.
By talking openly about the challenges that women face in the workplace and at home, we can work toward solutions together. We can't ignore the subject any longer. We need to talk and listen, debate and learn, evolve and take action.
Work, family and 'leaning in': 7 families trying to make it work
To help address these issues, I co-founded Leanin.org, a global community dedicated to encouraging women to lean in to their ambitions. In addition to providing educational videos (such as "Negotiation" and "Creating a Level Playing Field"), Leanin.org also allows women to come together and share stories of how they have been able to overcome obstacles to pursue a goal.
Men, too, offer stories of how they mentored and supported female colleagues, friends and partners during key career moments. The stories are fascinating. Not every story will speak to everyone, but viewed collectively they illuminate and connect.
One of the most remarkable stories comes from Marie Tueller, who bravely and beautifully writes about how she found the strength to testify against her rapist in court even though he had threatened her life and the life of her child. This courageous testimony put him in jail for 31 years without possibility of parole.
Another story that I've read over and over comes from Kelly Wickham, an assistant principal in Springfield, Illinois. Pregnant at 15, Kelly persevered to graduate from college, become a teacher, earn a master's degree and take on greater and greater responsibilities at work. As she says, "In my second year of [graduate] classes, a professor asked why I wanted to become a principal. I responded that leadership found me, and I wasn't going to shy away from it any longer."
Former first lady Laura Bush opens up about her deep concern for children after the tragedy of 9/11 and her work to comfort their fears. Photographer Me Ra Koh found that photography helped heal her pain after a miscarriage. Sen. Mazie Hirono of Hawaii talks about how her mother worked two jobs to support her children. As the senator explains, "I was not born into wealth, power or political legacy, and my path to the Senate was improbable as any."
These stories are about women finding their voice and their strength. And while the situations vary wildly among the Lean In stories, a few messages resonate throughout: Speak up. Believe in yourself. Take risks.
If your dream is to be a firefighter and you're in law school, you can make it happen, as Brenda Berkman describes in her inspiring story. It took her five years and a major lawsuit that challenged the New York City Fire Department's discriminatory hiring practices to do it, but she made her dream come true.
Not all the stories are about leaning in. As I discuss in my book, there are times when it makes sense for us to lean back.
Musician Nancy Kuo writes about working as hard as she could, piling on gig after gig, until she decided to track down a father she never knew. The search ended up changing her life: "I'm not moving as fast anymore, and have found by slowing down, I actually have time to work on my most important relationship -- the one I have with myself."
These stories are full of strong emotions. I urge you to go to the site and find the ones that resonate with you.
Do you fear public speaking? You might be interested to know that you share that fear with Sandra Jurado, the 22-year-old national youth president of the League of United Latin American Citizens. And, surprisingly, with actress Reese Witherspoon.
Ursula Burns, chair and CEO of Xerox, shares a powerful story about her experience.
She writes, "I was raised by a wonderful mother in the rough and tumble public housing projects on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Many people told me I had three strikes against me: I was black. I was a girl. And I was poor. Mom didn't see it that way. She constantly reminded me that where I was didn't define who I was."
We can each define ambition and progress for ourselves. The goal is to work toward a world where expectations are not set by the stereotypes that hold us back, but by our personal passion, talents and interests.
I look forward to the day when half our homes are run by men and half our companies and institutions are run by women. When that happens, it won't just mean happier women and families; it will mean more successful businesses and better lives for us all.

Hip Replacement Reduces Heart Failure, Depression And Diabetes Risk
The seven-year cumulative average Medicare payment for all medical care was $82,788 for non-THR patients and $89,154 for THR patients, for a difference of $6,366. The actual average per-patient THR cost is expected to be much less than $6,366 when differences in costs incurred due to prescription pain medications are taken into account.
"Joint (replacement) has been proposed as possibly cost-saving in the management of disability related to arthritis," said Lovald. "This study provides supporting data to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of THR."

Taddy Blazusiak came to KTM's attention when he had a spectacular performance (on a borrowed bike) at the notorious Red Bull Hare Scramble at the Erzbergrodeo where he had decided to compete "just for fun" and won. The race was a turning point for Blazusiak in 2006.
He was offered a contract with KTM for Extreme Enduro competition and decided to relinquish his boyhood dream of being a Trials World Champion in favor of Extreme Enduro.
Blazusiak's first major outing as a KTM factory rider was the final round of the AMA EnduroCross series in Las Vegas where he beat David Knight, the world's fastest indoor rider at the time and garnered a lot of US EnduroCross fans.
What followed was the stuff of dreams: multiple Red Bull Hare Scramble victories at Erzbergrodeo, titles in EnduroCross and World Indoor Enduro Championships and victory in other extreme rallies that has assured the now 28-year-old Pole of a permanent place in the record books.
From June 2011 to February 2012 Blazusiak enjoyed a golden season, starting with his fifth Red Bull Hare Scramble at the Erzbergrodeo. He went on to win the inaugural gold EnduroCross medal at the X-Games and was unbeaten in the 2011 EnduroCross season to retain his title.
In early February 2012 he took his third SuperEnduro (formerly Indoor Enduro World Championship) World title to indicate that he is a class above the rest of the field in extreme events. Blazusuiak went on to retain his EnduroCross crown in 2012, winning the race series by 70 points. He and his teammate, American Maria Forsberg, who won the women's EnduroCross title, were also instrumental in KTM taking the Manufacturer's title. In November he laid the foundation stone for another SuperEnduro title when he had a convincing win before a sell out crowd of home fans in Lodz, Poland.
In 2013 Blazusiak's racing schedule concentrated on various appearances on the EnduroCross championship and the X-Games, which went global with additional rounds in Brazil, Spain and Germany, as well as the established Los Angeles venue. He races on the KTM 350 EXC-F and continues to deliver superb and thrilling performances, living by the motto: "Second is the first loser, so the only goal is winning!"

I ordered this basket as a thank you gift from a group of parents for a teacher. I had it delivered to my house so we could give it to her in person. I was so excited when I opened the box and saw this gorgeous basket. All the parents who contributed were thrilled. And, best of all, the teacher LOVED it!

Arrived in a timely manner, but I was dissappointed in the fact that the picture and packaging misrepresents what is actually in the box (2 rasberry chocolate cookies). Needed more for the money and the brand. I was disheartened that the ceramic mugs were not dishwasher or microwave safe. In this day and age it should be a given.Gave most of the stuff away at work. Not a fan!

What to get parents that have everything
By Karin
from Dallas, TX
I love sending baskets from Wine Country. I always find several baskets and have to choose. This basket worked out great for my parents anniversary as it can be hard to find something they both like. My Mom left it on the counter for days because "it was so pretty". She really likes the cups and she will use the basket around the house. The basket actually arrived early.
not so happy
By randiandsuzy
from indiana
Bought for charity auction and had it sent direct. received pic via facebook and it wasn't packaged and presented anywhere near what the catalog looked like.
Merchant response: The items in the basket are lowered into the basket itself to prevent spillage and breakage.
good products

The package arrived on the specified day. It was appealing to the recipient and the products were great
My Mom loved it!
By Nell
from New York, New York
As a Starbucks fan, my mother was the recipient of this gift basket as a small birthday gift. The basket is wrapped with a big red bow and filled with a great selection of teas and coffee and pretty nice Starbucks logo mugs. I do wish there were more snacks to go with the tea and coffee. Bottom line: She loved it so I'm happy! I was afraid it wouldn't make it on time and even called to track the package but somehow it arrived exactly on time even through a snowstorm!!

LitePad HO+ looks and performs similar to the current LitePad HO fixtures. HO+ continues to allow photographers and filmmakers to hide, tape, Velcro and rubberband LitePads in the areas they need that extra kiss of soft, indirect light. The upgraded differences between LitePad HO and Litepad HO+ are: LED's on ALL edges, interior connector and the number one requested upgrade now available in Daylight or Tungsten balanced units.
Except for the larger 12"x12" & 24"x24" units, most of the original LitePads only had LED's on two edges. LitePad HO+ fixtures have LED's on all four edges no matter what the size. This change becomes particularly significant for the 6"x6" and 6"x12" sizes. Those two units had the same number of LED's as their thinner 3"x6" and 3"x12" counterparts; meaning that even though they were largerthey didn't generate significantly more light, they just illuminated more surface area of the unit.
Now that these two HO+ units have LED's on all four edges they are noticeably brighter and much more useful. In my opinion the 6"x6" unit is the perfect light choice to mount directly to smaller cameras and the 6"x12" Axiom just became the most efficient and useful unit of the range.
Say goodbye to the pigtail that was permanently wired to the original LitePads. Now there is an internal connector that you plug your power supply such as theLitePad Transformer, AA Battery Holder, Camera or External Battery or Vehicle Cigarette Lighter directly into.
Now that the pigtail is gone you'll want tomake sure you've got plenty of LitePad extension cables. We've even modified theextension cables so that they've got a 90 degree angle connector so that the connection doesn't stick out so far from the unit.
Easily, the number one upgrade request we've gotten for LitePad is to have it available as a Tungsten balanced unit. The previous HO units were only availablein a Daylight balance.
After years of hearing customers wish that we offered a Tungsten LitePad so that they didn't have to add CTO and sacrifice precious light output, LitePad HO+ is now available in both Tungsten and Daylight.
We now have access to high-quality Tungsten balanced LED's, allowing us to make Tungsten balanced LitePads with a fantastic warm output. To everyone who ever made that Tungsten LitePad wish to us, WISH GRANTED.

The City of Grand Junction canceled its July 4 fireworks display after this article went to print. The sale of fireworks anywhere in GJ was also banned. The City may consider holding a fireworks show later this year after the fire danger subsides.
For many, fireworks are synonymous with Independence Day celebrations. You can't have one without the other. But, due to Colorado's statewide fire crisis, many explosive displays have been canceled and private firework use is illegal.
Grand Valley residents are lucky, however. The City of Grand Junction fireworks show is still planned for July 4 at Lincoln Park.
As of June 28, both the City and the Mesa County Sheriff's Office said GJ's in-town display remains scheduled despite the raging Pine Ridge fire near DeBeque. The show goes on because its location (over a watered area and asphalt) isn't deemed a fire risk.
City of GJ spokeswoman Sam Rainguet said, unless City Council members indicate they'd like to cancel the show, the display will continue as planned.
GJ's July 4 fireworks show will start at 9:45 p.m., or at the conclusion of the GJ Rockies game at Suplizio Field, City of GJ recreation supervisor Emily Wright said. The traditional display will be choreographed to music and it will last up to a half hour. The baseball game will begin early, at 6:30 p.m., to accommodate the spectacle. Everyone in the stadium should stay to watch the display.
"We hope the community will come out to watch the fireworks show and do it in a safe manner," Wright added. "Please do not put on private fireworks shows."
What's Independence Day without a parade, too? The annual downtown Main Street parade is set to start at 5 p.m.
While GJ's holiday display remains on track, many other firework shows (both locally and statewide) were canceled over fire concerns.
July 4 applications from the Town of Collbran and the Town of Gateway were denied by the Mesa County Sheriff's Office. A special event firework application submitted by the Bookcliff Country Club was, however, approved.
Fruita recently replaced its July 3 fireworks display with a free concert. The family-focused event will be held at the Civic Center Pavilion in downtown Fruita, and starts at 7:30 p.m. Fruita will hold its annual ice cream social, also at the Civic Center, on July 5 at 7:30 p.m. The Centennial Band will play during this tasty event.
Palisade's Fourth of July family celebration will not feature fireworks either. A parade, games and food is scheduled in Palisade Memorial Park, with times to be announced.
Right now, it's illegal to privately use any type of firework, even cones, fountains and sparklers . So, please, no backyard displays.
Those caught illegally lighting fireworks in Mesa County may face a class-3 misdemeanor charge and up to $750 in fines, law enforcement officials said.
"Here at the Sheriff's Office, we plan to respond to firework complaints as they occur," Mesa County Sheriff's Office PIO Heather Benjamin said. "It will be very helpful for the public to report specific addresses - not just near my house at 123 Main St., for example, (and) any debris or other fire hazards they see. People should know that, while it is legal to purchase fireworks in the state, it is not legal to light any of them, based on the Governor's executive order. On top of the ticket and fine, people can be held financially responsible for any damage they incur as a result of a fire."
Grand Junction Police Chief John Camper said city officers will respond in a similar fashion.
"Due to the additional threats presented by fireworks this year, we will staff extra officers specifically assigned to handle firework-related complaints," Camper said.

HinterBlog & Gaming Company Blogs
First Precis Intermedia, now HinterWelt--it seems my favorite gaming companies are going bloggy. What other gaming companies do you know of that have blogs worth following? I know there are a number out there--I just want some other takes on what you find worth following.
11 comments:
- Gleichman said...
This is one of the rare cases where you and I disagree.
I find his systems boring and without soul, his thoughts on game design more market focused than anything else. But the market doesn't speak to me.
I consider a game to be a system first and foremost- one that should be interesting in and of itself no matter the setting.
HinterWelt on the other hand is all about setting. He knows little to nothing about mechanics and only uses them because he knows that settings by themselves don't sell.
Big yawn.
As someone who publishes however he does have good insight into the industry. For that the blog will be worthwhile (although not to a non-publisher like myself).
- February 7, 2009 at 9:39 AM
- HinterWelt said...
Thanks Zach! I am hoping to get my design decisions behind The System up sometime today and continue with my various design and development decisions on the Zombipocalypse. I think it will be an interesting experiment in putting my thoughts somewhere that folks can read and get a better grip on.
Thanks for the bump!
- February 7, 2009 at 11:01 AM
- Zachary The First said...
@gleichman: Well, I guess we were bound to disagree at some point. :) I think it may be that our system/setting splits might be a little different. I tend to rip out settings and match them with systems I'm trying. In general, I do find industry bits pretty interesting usually, unless they devolve into navel-gazing. :)
@HinterWelt: Not a problem, Bill. Looking forward to it!
- February 7, 2009 at 2:18 PM
- Gleichman said...
Yes, our interests here are quite different. For me to buy or even examine a system there has to be something interesting in that system. And that just doesn't happen very often.
I've passed on games even with setting that I 'like'. For example Middle Earth or Firefly. Unless the mechanics bring something to the table, the setting is something I can likely do better myself.
In part I think this relates to the fact that settings don't represent the same thing to different people. Thus another person's vision of Middle Earth generally won't match what I consider to be Middle Earth.
Hence, no interest in setting based products. And since that makes up almost all the published game lines these day- no interest in them either.

Fire Prevention Week: Prevent Kitchen Fires
The Cincinnati Fire Department (CFD) announces Fire Prevention Week. This year's theme, "Prevent Kitchen Fires," highlights the fact that the kitchen is the leading area of origin for home fires and puts the focus on the importance of fire escape planning and practice, and knowing what to do when the smoke alarm sounds in your home.
The reality is that when fire strikes, your home could be engulfed in smoke and flames in just a few minutes. It is important to have a home fire escape plan that prepares your family to think fast and get out quickly when the smoke alarm sounds.
During the week, the public the 26 Cincinnati Fire stations. Each fire house will be distributing smoke alarms and batteries.
On Saturday, Oct. 12, 2013, between 1 and 5 p.m., CFD will once again open its doors to all citizens to come and meet Cincinnati firefighters. There will also be fun fire safety materials, snacks and refreshments provided by the Cincinnati Fire Foundation.
Please join the Cincinnati Fire Department and the Cincinnati Fire Foundation in making this year's Fire Prevention Week successful in educating Cincinnati residents on fire safety.

What exactly are Mustang gears?
Gears can be a pretty general term but in this case, they refer to the ring and pinion gears that reside in the rear differential. Without getting too much into the technical details of how they work, they essentially convert the power coming from your driveshaft to power needed to turn your wheels.
Gears are referred to by ratios, such as 3.31 gears. This means that the driveshaft needs to turn 3.31 times in order to turn your wheels once. People upgrade to numerically higher gears because increasing this number gives your engine more leverage and makes it easier to accelerate faster. Higher gears, such as 4.10 gears, can be referred to as a steeper gear. A set of 4.10 gears will also result in a decrease of your top speed, which is why they can also be referred to as shorter gears.
What gears should I get for my 2005-2009 Mustang?
Mustangs came from the factory with anything between 2.73 to 3.31 gears. By far, the most popular upgrades are 4.10 and 3.73 gears. The gear set you choose depends on your end goal and how you drive your Mustang.
Benefits of 4.10 Gears

Benefits of 3.73 Gears

Results after installing your 2005-2009 Mustang's new rear gears
Either set of gears will instantly transform your Mustang and make it feel like a completely different car. Youll be able to chirp tires on command and youll be accelerating noticeably faster. Many people are curious if getting 4.10 gears will make a big impact on your fuel economy. The simple truth is that your driving habits make a much bigger impact on fuel economy than what gears you have. Many people who get 3.73 gears at first end up upgrading again to 4.10 gears, so dont fear the gear and make your decision based on performance expectations.
Weve had many customers ask what their RPMs will be at a given speed after installing gears. To show you exactly what effect gears will have on your car, weve created RPM tables that are on all gear product pages. Youll be able to see exactly what RPM your engine will be turning at various speeds before buying gears.Once youve decided on what gears to buy, head over to Gear Installation article to see what you need for smooth and trouble free install.
