Fifty Shades of Grey is getting all kinds of stuff: a movie, probably, but also lingerie and home wares? We don't really know because we kind of glaze over whenever we see the phrase Fifty Shades of Grey. However, thanks to the book's astonishing, inexplicable popularity, a lot of people are talking about BDSM. Using our cursory knowledge of the material (thanks, Wikipedia!), we put together this shopping guide. More

So the Obama admin just bumped off a guy who kinda sorta had some affiliation with Al Qaeda. Or maybe didn't. No evidence was presented and no attempt was made to indict him.
How do the American members feel about their government awarding itself the power to kill any of you if they deem you a terrorist?
A good thing?
Worried you are marching towards fascism?

Item # ETR000C
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Mountain Cranksets in stock than that.View Similar Products
e*thirteen components TRS+ Double Crankset $0.00
Products like E*thirteen components' TRS+ Double Crankset fulfills the needs of modern trail bikes by eliminating the redundant third ring and focusing on strength. The latter comes in the form of a 30mm spindle with a proprietary polygon interface and forged Exalite+ arms.
This addresses one of the weakest links in crank design -- the spindle to arm interface. Spline degradation and uneven surface contact from pinch bolts leads to creaking and loosening, but the three-lobe polygon design (P3 Connect) results in 100% spindle to arm contact. It's a stiffer interface optimized for high torque applications and, with the Adaptive Preload System (APS), bearings receive the perfect amount of preload.
Which brings us to an important point, E*thirteen does not include a bottom bracket with the TRS+ Crankset, and it's not compatible with aftermarket bottom brackets. This is due in part to APS, but mostly because of the 30mm spindle. While other manufacturers settled on a 24mm spindle, the weight and stiffness advantages were too much for E*thirteen to pass up.
To ensure quality and compatibility in this department, E*thirteen covers standard external, BB92, Pressfit 30, and BB30 industry standards. While all E*thirteen bottom brackets come with alloy cups housing angular contact bearings and custom low-friction seals, they also give you the option to upgrade to titanium nitride races for added durability and smoothness.
That said, once you match a bottom bracket to your frame, and torque the arm to proper specifications, E*thriteen's tool-free Adaptive Preload System (APS) simply hand tightens against the bearings. Now you can enjoy tight-tolerances without over-preloading. Moving on to shift rings, two ratios are available, either 38/24T or 36/22T depending on your goals.
The TRS+ Double uses E*thirteen's shift rings that are 8, 9, and 10spd compatible. They are machined with ramps and pins that optimize gear changes for fast and crisp up and down shifts. The E*thirteen components TRS+ Double Crankset has a 104 bolt circle diameter and comes in two lengths; 170mm or 175mm.

STEUBENVILLE- Steubenville coach Mike Blackburn wanted his wrestlers to make a statement Thursday in the Class 4A portion of the Bill Hinegardner Ohio Valley Athletic Conference Dual Meet Championships.
Mission accomplished
Competing on the home mats, Big Red disposed of Martins Ferry 57-12 and Harrison Central 63-9 to claim the 4A crown. The victories give Blackburn's squad a sweep of OVAC titles. In January, Big Red earned the overall championship in the conference's Ron Mauck Tournament.
''We wrestled pretty and it's quite an accomplishment to win the OVAC dual title for the third straight year,'' Blackburn said. ''These kids deserve it, they have been working hard.''
According to the Big Red coach, capturing both the Mauck event and the Hinegardner duals means ''we have a lot of real good individuals and we are pretty solid as a team.''
Big Red's victory against Martins Ferry came in the semifinals. Harrison Central reached the title match by disposing of Oak Glen 39-24. In the battle for third place, Martins Ferry clipped the Golden Bears, 34-32.
In the championship bout, Big Red received pins from Andrew O'Dell (160), Mark Cole (170), Jake McKitrick (138) and Zach O'Dell (152). Of the matches contested, Big Red lost one. Harrison Central's David Forrester recorded a 4-2 decision at 120.
''I thought we did fairly well,'' Harrison Central coach William Bryant noted. ''We had a couple of kids home sick. I'm not saying that would have a made a difference in either match. We're still a young team and we have grown a long way from the beginning of the season. I'm proud of them.''
As far as Oak Glen's Patrick McGillian was concerned, his Golden Bears gave up too many forfeits.
In the consolation match against Martins Ferry, each team won four of the eight matches wrestled. The Purple Riders got a victory thanks to three forfeits. Against Harrison Central, the Golden Bears won six of the matches contested.
''Plus, we just didn't wrestle well,'' he added. ''I didn't feel like they were prepared and it showed. We have wrestled some of the kids we faced before and we wrestled them better.''
Eight Big Red wrestlers went 2-0 on the night. They were Tariq Wilson (106, he recorded a pin against his Martins Ferry opponent in just 10 seconds), Anthony Craig (126). Anthony Parada (132), McKitrick, the O'Dell twins, Cole and Brandon Jones (182).
Greg Moray, who competes at 220 for Big Red, needed 44 seconds to dispose of his Martins Ferry foe. Moray earned a forfeit victory against Harrison Central.

Happy New Year!
We hope that the start to 2014 brings with it new energy and positive growth, both personally and professionally, to everyone in our Bananacado network.
Part Two: Here in South India, we can report there have been positive changes in the last few years in the effort by Peeramade Development Society (PDS) and Tea Promoters of India (TPI) to empower small tea farmers. Peeramade Development Society is a Catholic church of India based NGO that has a variety of projects to support the rural poor. Tea Promoters of India is a unique family-owned tea operation that has a foundational commitment to authentic fair trade and to small tea producers.
The following post was written by Rink Dickinson, Co-founder and Co-President of Equal Exchange
Paul Mathew, Phyllis Robinson, Binod Mohan, Rink Dickinson, O D Wilson following a tour of the tea factory
I am on a trip with my colleagues, Wells Neal, Deepak Khandelwal, and Phyllis Robinson. We have been visiting tea farmers and cashew farmers in South India. This post focuses on what we have seen on the tea part of the trip and how it relates to the overall story of small farmers in tea: that is to say; authentic fair trade in tea.
Ian Hussey y Patrick Clark have pubilshed an article about the new farmer owned certification system, the Small Producer Symbol (SPP), for its Spanish acronym), in the October edition of the New Internationalist.
We just received this summary of recent events in the world of Fair Trade certification from our friends at the Fair World Project. If you're concerned about the integrity of labeling schemes, please read the various links which explain changes in labeling requirements, sourcing standards, and our responses to those changes.
Responses to Fairtrade International's Fairtrade Sourcing Partnership
Rosa Guaman, Executive Director of Jambi Kiwa, an association of small medicinal herb producers in Ecuador, speaking at the Third International Gathering of the SPP
I just got back from a weeklong visit to the Dominican Republic, where a group of us--a mix of Equal Exchange staff, food co-op managers, and Interfaith liaisons--visited cacao-growing communities that belong to CONACADO Co-op, an umbrella organization of about 10,000 cacao farmers.
By Carly Kadlec, Equal Exchange Coffee Purchaser
Over the past several weeks I have been in Central America, visiting our producer partner groups. At every stop along the way, I get gems of knowledge dropped on me at totally unexpected moments. Sometimes this is as straight forward as a farmer explaining a new organic practice that I have never seen before. However, more often than not, producers shatter my worldview with their incredibly refined and pointed observations of the world in which we live.
With the holidays approaching, I always get questions about how to avoid packing on the pounds when our offices, homes, parties and stores are full of tempting, delectable treats. I, for one, am a huge sucker for my grandma's fresh-baked rolls and chocolate chip cookies made with our new Equal Exchange chocolate chips.
Last week, we hosted two managers from cacao co-ops we work with in Peru to source chocolate for our new Organic Chocolate Chips and for our line of Organic Candy Bars. Hildebrando Cárdenas Salazar from Oro Verde co-op and David Contreras from ACOPAGRO co-op visited our headquarters in Massachusetts to learn more about Equal Exchange, meet some of our store accounts, and work on 2014 planning for our USAID grant project with the two co-ops.

Generator in 3D
Application ID: 462
This model is a static 3D simulation of a generator having a rotor with permanent magnets. The center of the rotor consists of annealed medium carbon steel, which is a nonlinear ferromagnetic material that is saturated at high magnetic flux densities.
The core is surrounded by several blocks of a permanent magnet made of samarium and cobalt, creating a strong magnetic field. The stator is made of the same nonlinear material as the center of the rotor, confining the field in closed loops through the winding.
The model calculates the static magnetic fields inside and around the generator, where the nonlinearity of the magnetic material is modeled using an interpolation function.

Can we get the ability to add a note/message to flagged comments? When I say note/message, I mean a message that is visible only to the admin/moderator who comes across your flag. Not to the community as a whole.
What is meta?
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
As long as it can be optional.
Right now, flags are simple - flag a comment enough times, and it goes away.
OK, so you are talking about something similar to the Flag for moderator review feature for posts... That still seems like over-kill. 'Time was, we could just delete comments. Any comments. For any reason. Anywhere. Anyone's. And Life Was Good, albeit confusing and full of bizarre arguments half-deleted. Now it feels like they're becoming less annotations and more like a mini-forum attached to each post. If that's the idea, then I'd still rather have threading.
I like it. Also, a derivative of this would be super-useful. As far as I can tell, flagged comments don't give any indication the comment is flagged as opposed to the question. So Mods needs to go to the question and start hunting.
Of course we review the question in general after a flag, but this would let us zero in immediately.
You can just report the post to the mods with a description of the issue with the comment at fault right now.
I don't think the comment voting/flagging was ever meant to actually matter or be looked at. I certainly don't believe there are enough cases where this would be needed where we would need to add all this complexity to such a simple system.

Monday Afternoon News, October 29
Investigators Look At Possible Voter Fraud
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - State criminal investigators are looking into reports of possible problems with absentee ballots in Muscatine and Floyd counties.
Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation spokeswoman Chari Paulson says complaints involve absentee ballots.
The investigations, first reported Monday in The Des Moines Register, appear to center on voters receiving ballots without having signed a request form.
A man in Muscatine County says a Democratic campaign worker allowed his mother to sign a ballot request form for him when he wasn't home. It is a felony in Iowa to falsify a signature on a
ballot request form.
In Floyd County, the DCI is investigating three reports of someone filling out ballot requests without the voter's knowledge.
More than 624,000 absentee ballots have been mailed to Iowa voters and more than 470,000 returned.
Clinton To Campaign For Obama In Midwest
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - Former President Bill Clinton is headed for the Midwest this week to campaign for Democratic President Barack Obama in a swing that will take him to Minnesota, Iowa and
The Clinton campaign events will partially fill a void for Obama, who has taken himself off the road temporarily to deal with Hurricane Sandy.
Clinton's travel itinerary will also take him to Colorado, Ohio, Virginia and New Hampshire.
Minnesota has been getting increasing attention as both Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney launch late TV commercials. But Obama is still favored to collect the 10 electoral college
votes. Clinton was expected to hold two rallies in the state Tuesday.
All of the other states have been hotly contested throughout the presidential campaign.
Des Moines House Explodes
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Fire officials say no one was injured when a lit cigarette and an oxygen tank caused an explosion that blew out windows and caused a fire at a house in Des Moines.
The Des Moines Register (http://dmreg.co/Ph3gUv ) says the blast happened Monday morning.
Fire Inspector Brian O'Keefe says the homeowner sleeps with oxygen and left the tank on when she got up. She lit a cigarette, and the oxygen in the room caught fire and burned back toward the
tank, causing an explosion.
The woman, her grandson and a family dog escaped before the explosion. Damage to the home is estimated between $50,000 and $70,000.
Businessman Admits To Fraud
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - An Indiana businessman has pleaded guilty to ripping off an Iowa company and duping investors in separate fraud schemes totaling $2.3 million.
Lowell Hancher of Sheridan, Ind., pleaded guilty Friday to one count of wire fraud and one count of securities fraud. He's been released from custody pending sentencing, where he'll face a
maximum prison term of 45 years.
In a plea agreement, Hancher acknowledged he defrauded investors in a Colorado construction company of $1.8 million between 2005 and 2010. Some investors lived in northern Iowa and were told their money would be used for a public stock offering.
Separately, Hancher said that he abused his position on the board of Spencer-based manufacturing company Cycle Country to misappropriate more than $500,000 for himself under a phony stock
buyback program.
Blind Trumpet Player Marches In Band
SOLON, Iowa (AP) - A trumpet player from Solon in eastern Iowa is marching with the high school band, thanks to some help from his bandmates.
The Gazette in Cedar Rapids says 14-year-old freshman Jalen Howsare (HOWS'-uhr) has been blind since he was toddler. His eyes were removed because of tumors, an illness called bilateral retinoblastoma. He has prosthetic eyes and is cancer free.
Howsare marched with the band for the first time during competitions in September.
During performances, his bandmates figure out where he's supposed to go and guide him during each song. Whoever is closest puts a hand on his shoulder and leads him to the next spot.
Band director Desmond Cervantez says Howsare is "fearless," and having him in the band builds upon its mission of giving back.

I did get the double leg locks, it somewhat reduces the max height of the tripod, I'd say around four inches but that is a guess. I use it with a C11 on an ieq45, I'd say that they are not necessary even with that load. Having said that, unless you need the absolute maximum extension for a long focus refractor, I would still get the double locks just because they are a reasonable price for ensuring the maximum stability under load.

The Deutsche Post is one of the worst in the world when it comes to package tracking - which is ironic because they also own DHL which is pretty decent.
However Deutsche Post is reliable - it will take a month to reach you, you will have no package tracking, but it will get to you.

Doug, what sort of load are you carrying on the uni 24?
I don't own the UNI-24 anymore - I sold it when I purchased a Baader/A-P but I do miss it. However, I used it primarily with a Half Hitch II mount and a 105mm traveler with binoviewer. Scope was about 15lbs and mount another 5 or so. At one point I tried it with a DM-6 and TOA 130..!! A little too much for it but it was passable.

If that was the DM-6 head recently listed on Amart you got a great deal - and beat me to the punch, I would have snapped it up in a heartbeat ! The Planet is ideal for a DM-6 IMHO, you're gonna love it.
Double leg clamps are definitely a good idea - they should be standard on the beefier Berlebach astro tripods. Better to have them when you feel you need them then not to have them and have to order them from Germany.
Posted 06 December 2012 - 08:51 AM
Tom Peters makes a base with 3/8" bolt to adapt the ADATRI for use with DM-6. I don't recall for sure but I thought the recent DM-6 on Amart came with the adapter?
A-P dropped the Baader wood tripod they sold for many years (the one I own) in favor of the Planet so that should tell you something. Were it not for the fact I have a Lapides spreader on my AP/Baader I''d be tempted to sell for a Planet myself!!
Posted 06 December 2012 - 09:08 AM
Doug: It was my 2nd attempt at a used DM-6 on AM, actually hesitated and did not think it would be available. Hope to keep it for a long time and is why I'm going all out for a nice tripod.
Posted 06 December 2012 - 11:34 AM
You will love the Planet. It is beautiful. And the double clamps are a good idea. After all,why not, a little more stability is always nice. I've ordered from Berlebach several times. A couple of years ago it was a Uni 18 and this fall was a Planet for my new DM-6. Seems to be a very popular combination. It comes in 2 packages. Mine both came as tripod one day and the tray later. My Uni tray came the very next day. My Planet order went well until the tray part of it. The tripod was at my house on the eighth day from Germany from order date. Pretty darn fast. But this time, unfortunately, the tray got lost. Berlelbach was very good with communication but didn't exactly know where it was. I finally received it 3 weeks later. The packages have at least 2 labels on them. Mine had my name and address on the big yellow Duetsche Post label but also someone else's on a smaller white label. Long story short, it did get to me. It was a fluke and I assume a rare occurrence.
I would also suggest ordering the rubber feet. After all why not? . Then you can have either the spike or rubber feet depending where it is placed.
Looking forward to your impressions. Have fun.
Best, Linda B.
Posted 06 December 2012 - 12:10 PM
I no longer use the tray on the Planet. I used a 16 inch diameter polyethylene round cutting board instead. I put in a set of 2 and 1.25 inch holes for the eyepieces. I worried about someone bumping off one of my very expensive Televue eyepieces off the wooden tray.

I recently received a package from Berlebach with my name and address on it but I did not order anything. Took me about a week to find the person that was suppose to receive that package and he was in a neighboring city so he drove over and picked it up. Somehow when the package was passed off to the USPS in the US they replaced the original address label with one for me. I have never ordered anything from Berlebach before so I don't know why the USPS would change the label to my name and address. They actually shipped the guy two packages at the same time and one of them did arrive on time at his house. I do order a lot of astronomy gear and maybe they keep records of that kind of stuff at the USPS, so I guess whenever the USPS can't figure out where a piece of astronomy gear goes they are just going to send it to me. I could sure use a 6" APO if anyone at the USPS is reading this
That was me, Lane, and thanks again for tracking me down!!!!
I purchased a UNI-18 and they shipped the tripod in one parcel and the spreader tray in another. They both delivered to the airport in Frankfurt, via DHL, and I presume DHL flew them to the US. However, that's where things fell apart. The tripod went to New York and the tray went to Chicago. After customs, USPS handled both and managed to foul up the tray delivery. Somehow, Lane received it at his home, 30 miles away. But, he was nice enough to contact Belebach and find my email address. What a great guy!
Anyway, it's not DHL all the way. I don't recall even having the opportunity to select such an option.

Wow, hearing these shipping stories from everyone else makes me wonder how mine went so smoothly!
Same here. My Planet arrived in about two weeks' time this past summer, no issues.

Criticizm is welcome
I need advice about water and tree's if you would be so kind?
I used the photoshop town Tutorial by Ascension.
Here's also a close up of the village. (perhaps town if I figure out the population and its too big to be a village)
I love hedges I even added flowers.

What kind of water and tree help do you need? I think the water looks fine, shrug. Tress I never really mastered in this style yet so there's a lot of room for experimentation there. Your little gardens/hedges look great.

I dunno.. I just see other maps made from this style and I see transparen't water with great waves and other things. I probably missed something on the Tut Btw thanks for the amazing Tutorial!
It might just be me, but the wakes from the bridge pillars seem to run completely parallel to the pillars, even though the river itself bends right after. Shouldn't the wakes follow the path or get dissipated by the changing current? Another thing that is missing if it's appropriate is that water flows back together after going around an obstruction, creating eddies or whirls. While those might not be visible on this scale (especially if the current isn't running very fast), the wakes don't appear to make any move toward rejoining after the pillars.
But I'm definitely no water expert. This is merely stuff I've seen in a much smaller scale long ago.

Assuming I stick with fantasy cartography, I'd like to become a World Builder, laying out not only a realistic topography, but also the geopolitical boundaries and at least rough descriptions of the countries and societies.
Yes the wakes should follow the river its just another fluke by yours truely.
what do you guys think of the new texture so far? (hasn't gotten around to the wakes yet)
A bunch of things since I last posted (I couldn't post because of style change)
Finished Dorun with a bunch of filters.
With paper backround.
Player Edition.
Ps: These are actually much larger.. If you want them in higher quality just let me know.
The version without filters looks much better, and I love the one with paper background. Though it does not look hand drawn at all (as you would suppose on paper) and is not as clear as the colored versions, atmosphere and colors are great!
The "Player Edition" is good, too - but maybe choose another script? There are some cool (and readable) ones at dafont.com ...
My suggestion for the trees would be to make those "bumps" bigger - roughly as big as the houses or so. When you look at a satellite picture in google maps you may notice that the shape of single trees in woods often shows quite clear at the scale of your maps.

Sweet Maria's Coffee Podcast Episode 6: Coffee Rust Fungus and Organic Production in Honduras
I made this recording in January this year, and thought I would share it as a new podcast because it addresses the effect of Roya (Coffee Leaf Rust) and the current crop. It's not a new problem, but is proportionally more important because it is so widespread now in Central America. It affects the smaller farmer more, as they have less resources to fight it, and less agronomical knowledge. It also has a huge affect on organic coffee techniques, since they don't allow the use of the fungicides that are needed to reduce the presence of the fungal spores. I realized after editing this that I left some parts in Spanish, and largely my rather iffy Spanish to boot. But I think many will understand those parts of the conversation anyway. Thanks for listening!

Out of Stock
Item # CON0131
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Road Tubes in stock than that.View Similar Products
Continental Race Supersonic Tube $0.00
Race day follows a different set of rules -- different breakfast, different alarm time, different tires, and hopefully, different tubes. You need to be racing as light as possible, and a bulk-bought, durable training tube might get you to the finish line, but it won't get you there first. The Continental Race Supersonic Tube is as lightweight as a butyl rubber tube gets. At an ultra-low 50g, this tube shaves 15g from the Race Light tube, but you do pay for it in durability. We can't stress it enough that, while having a greater longevity than latex, the thin butyl tube lives to race -- not to train.
The Continental Race Supersonic Tube is available in a 700c x 18-25mm size with the option of either a 42 or 60mm Presta valve. For your classic build, it's also being offered in a 27in x 1-3/4in size.

Insane Tubes
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
These tubes are insane. I have never seen anything (for clincher) so lite.
They role smooth, and super fast.
