Bristol 32
I am in the market for a good, mid-sized sailboat, for local cruising around my home waters of Nova Scotia. I have looked at several models ( Canadian built ) but lately a US model caught my eye. It''s a late 70''s Bristol 32, full keel model. I would appreciate any feedback, pro''s & cons, of this sailboat.
Best regards to all...Aspy
Bristol 32
The Bristol 32 began life as an extreme CCA rule beating race boat from the mid-1960''s. They are somewhat prototypical of the more extreme examples of that breed. They have an extremely short waterline for their overall length, a fairly high displacement, have a narrow beam, moderately shoal draft and a moderately small amount of ballast for their displacement and drag. As a result they were quite tender and wet to sail, needing to be sailed at comparatively large heel angles to achieve any kind of speed. The short waterline length means that they tend to hobbyhorse extremely in a chop and the high vertical center of gravity and the deep canoe body means that they are real rollers. These are not full keels at all. By the traditional definition of a fin keel (a keel whose bottom is 50% or less of the overall length of the boat or the sail plan) this is a fin keel with an attached rudder. Fin keels with attached rudders offer most of the disadvantages of both a fin keel and a full keep with few of the virtues of either. These boats do not point or track well, they are miserable on a run. In any breeze at all they tended to develop a lot of weather helm. (I have not sailed one in over 20 years so modern sails and better sail handling hardware may have improved this some.)
These boats are miserable in light air. They were designed in a day when 180% genoas were the norm by Ted Hood who made some of the best 180% genoas of the day. These were big miserable sails to handle (especially using the top action South Coast winches that come on the early boats). They needed fairly large sail inventories as they were tender and could only carry that large sail through a narrow wind range. They were also not very good boats at the high end of the wind range.
There were at least 2 interior layouts, both were cramped by any kind of objective standard but the aft galley layout was a very nice set up.
Build quality on the earlier Bristols were about on the par with Pearsons of that era (not very good) but by the end of the 1970''s and into the early 1980''s build quality had improved quite a bit. If they have not been upgraded you are dealing with a Homestrand (or Kenyon on later boats) pressure alcohol stove and an Atomic 4. Both can be workable but are less than ideal in that parts are not always so easy to obtain.
These boats seem to have a loyal following which has resulted in pretty high prices for the sailing ability and build quality of these boats. While I know that some of these boats have been used for serious voyaging, I would suggest that there are much better choices that are similarly priced or even less expensive and that are all around better sailing boats. (Bristol''s own 34 footer of that era is a good example).
I will say that there is a different aesthetic to sailing these old CCA era race boats. For many that aesthetic is appealing. If you are in an area with predominantly moderate winds and are mostly daysailing, or weekending where there are short hops then a boat like this can be very appealing.
Bristol 32
That said, I believe it is a "full keel with cutaway forefoot." Herreschoff, as I recall, designed the 32? Maybe you''re looking at a Ted Hood design. Educate thyself, crawl through the boat, look at bulkhead attachments, satisfy yourself as to seaworthiness. Those old wilcox crittenden seacocks and thru hulls go bad and brittle. Replace. Build quality does vary wildly for the same models, same years in old production boats. I just refit (read, admittedly spent way too much) my Bristol 35 "as new"- actually better than new. When I left Rhode Island, I had several people come over to the mooring in Newport admiring the boat - and to me it was a wreck after being on hard for 3 years in Maine. One couple headed for Bermuda told me they sold their B-35 and bought an Albin something or other and wished they hadn''t. I quote "our Bristol 35 went to windward great." Several people in the boatyard down here have come over and accused me of having a Hinckley. New awlgrip, nonskid, Bristol finish, all stainless above decks, tinted lexan portlights, painted spars, standing, running, traveler, pumps, stripped to gelcoat and, for the first time, epoxy barrier built to 10 mil with 4 coats of bottom paint, etc. I recall "hobby horsing" on an Pearson Alberg 26, a little Southern Cross 28 (bad) but nothing serious on the Bristol. Maybe on the centerboard models? There''s several I know of sailing the Caribbean liveaboard at this moment, and a few 32''s and 34''s. It goes to windward very well, but dogs downwind. We reach and avoid dead down. Like dragging a paddle in a canoe. I think we can assume you don''t plan to race it. There''s dozens of boats of similar ilk running offshore. Perfect, but that''s only my opinion, for a Caribbean circuit. I doubt I''ll be going to the Med anytime soon. Educate thyself and just do it. Wait for perfection in selection and it may never come. Take any advice, including this, with a grain of salt, and educate yourself before you buy. Respectfully, Coral Bay Denizen (and splashing next week YA-FREAKING-HOO!). See you in Bequia.
Bristol 32
Clearly you are not familiar with the Bristol 32. They are a very different boat than the 35''s and the 34''s. The Bristol 29 and 34''s were Sidney D Herreshoff designs. The 32 is a Ted Hood design. The B 34 like your Alden designed Bristols offer a pretty nice motion. I assure you that the 32''s hobbyhorse miserably in any kind of a chop. The 32''s are at best so-so boats for their age to windward (we had an easy time beating them to windward with our old Pearson Vanguard which was also no great shakes to windward). By any traditional definition of a fin keel (any keel whose bottom is 50% or less of the length on deck), these are clearly a fin keel with attached rudder. To begin with the waterline length is only 2/3''s of the length on deck. Below the water there is a sharply cut away forefoot and a sharply raked rudder. I would guess that the bottom of the keel is something less than 40% of the length on deck which would make it a fin with attached rudder. (There was a keel/enterboard version of the Bristol 32.)
In any event, how every you choose to describe this keel, sailing the boat, it comes with all of the liabilities of both a fin and a full length keel, with none the inherrent virtues of either.
I do agree with VIEXILE''s advice that it would be a mistake to wait for the perfect boat, but by the same token I would suggest that it makes little sense to buy an over priced poorly suited boat just to get going a little bit sooner.
Bristol 32
I am sorry, that message came out sounding much ''snippier'' than I had actually meant it to be. My main point is that the Bristol 32 and to a lesser extent the Bristol 40, both of which were designed in the mid 1960''s, were not as well rounded designs as the later Bristol designs and by far are less suitable for the kind of adventure that the original poster was asking about.
My second point has to do with the current tendency to label any boat with an attached rudder as a ''full keel'' when many meet the traditional definition of a ''fin keel'' with an attached rudder. There would be little harm in mislabeling these keels except that there are big differences in how these keels behave as compared to true full length keels or even long keels. As a result this has become a bit of a hot button for me since I fear that inexperienced sailors are likely to be mislead in their expectations by the misapplication of the term.
Again I apologize for the tone of the prior post.
Bristol 32
I find it quite interesting to watch the Bristol 32 surface over and over as a boat about which shoppers inquire, here and at other BBs. It can''t be the ''numbers'' generated by the design. And it surely isn''t the accommodation for length. And never seems to be due to asking price, unless the boat is a derelict. The only conclusion I can reach is that it is quite simply one of the handsomest boats sold in larger numbers in that size during that era.
I''ve known a series of boats in the course of being at many marinas for extended periods which the owners essentially treat like car hobbyists do their favorite rebuilt custom or antique car. The boat is extraoridarily handsome, with many fittings, ports, metal work and canvas redone or improved on. They draw a loyal following at the docks from other slipholders, much like a special GA plane does when its hangar door is left open. Of course, the boats never really go anywhere, even for a daysail of any length. Perhaps unlike my plane analogy but in line with these other Dock Queens, these B32''s seem to be quite unsuitable for satisfying use away from the dock.
All of this to say that perhaps you want to have a smaller boat but with very ''classic'' lines that strikes a handsome appearance out on a mooring. (We don''t know what you really aspire to do with the boat, which is one reason these types of threads can be so unhelpful). But as a functional boat, it seems very limited in many departments.

Thanks to you all who provided me with some valuable insight into the Bristol 32 ( also the Contessa 32 posting )sailboats. Your responses were most appreciated ! Aspy...
Bristol 32
If Mr. Jeff_H, acted more like a "Super Moderator", rather than a flame producer, I would have more respect. As it is now I doubt that he has the objectivity required to be in that position, because he is so opinionated.
I have owned, sailed and cared for a Bristol 32 for 30 years now and believe I know the boat better than he. Yes, the tendencies he speaks about are there, hobbyhorse, yes, in a two foot chop, as many cca boats do. You must head off 5 degrees. Yes she has a wide sheeting angle, with her slippery hull form we get to hull speed quickly. She tracks like the devil, and with jib and main tuned will sail herself. Our boat absolutely loves the wind range of 12-15 with our 95% jib and 9-10 with our 140%. She is in her element in heavy air because of a bow pulpit fitted during construction. Yes this is not a dinghy so tacking and acceleration cannot be expected to be the the same!
I grew up with lasers, 505's and many centerboarders and still enjoy sailing/racing them and WH-15's, a herreshoff design, and sometimes J-24's. Boats are like people, they come in many varieties, and I can assure you that Ted Hood did not design this boat to be (nor is it) the boat Jeff-H describes.
Re: Bristol 32
I agree with the previous post. We have spent many summers using our B32 cruising the coast of Maine in all kinds of weather, and I find her a safe, comfortable and beautiful boat for me and my family. Now, would I trade her for a Pacific Seacraft 34? in a heartbeat. But the B32 is extremely solid, with an overspec'ed rig and thick laminations throughout. She is bomber, and offers a soft ride through reasonable chop, with none of the pounding so prevalent among her contemporaries. Although not fast, she can reach with many boats half her age.
some like to come across as having all the answers, and often present opinions as facts to further their aim.

For every answer, we get another question. So we do the recaps that way, too. Here's your weekly Q&A.
Spencer's eye is still a wreck from the stable incident, so sees an ophthalmologist (pun intended), who administers drops that make her vision blur to the point she can't even see the names Gina and Kristine T. on her recent-calls list.Q: who the hell are they?A: no idea, but I think it's less believable that Spencer knows more than one Kristine with a K. The point is she can't see, so when Jenna enters with another brunette in dark glasses, Spencer thinks she has a twin.Q: and since they're twins, when one went blind, they both did?A: no, the twin is just Sidney. Emily busts them and explodes in anger, but Jenna says Ali is the one they need to be scared of. Then Spencer notices that the letters on the eye chart have been rearranged to spell "CAN UCME YET A", which is pretty creepy–Q: not really — what's an Ucme?A: no, as in "you see me".Q: wait, so Spencer can see?A: good point. Maybe she just doesn't want to call Kristine T. back.
What else? Emily is the new Assistant Coach and basically tells Sidney that, with her position, she plans to do to Sidney what America did to Iraq.Q: engender a longer cycle of hatred and revenge instead of actually solving the problem?A: now, there's that cynicism again.

Sex differences in the prevalence and pathogenesis of hypertension are well documented in humans and in animal models of cardiovascular disease. Recent findings from our laboratory indicate that infusions of low doses of angiotensin II or of aldosterone into mice and rats produce markedly greater hypertension in males than in females. In addition, we find that ovariectomy (OVX) abolishes these female-related antihypertensive effects and that administration of estrogen or estrogen receptor agonists selective for estrogen receptor a (ERa) or for estrogen receptor b (ERb) into the brain restores protection in OVX females. Central administration of estrogen prevents experimentally-induced hypertension in males. In other preliminary studies we have found that either decreasing reactive oxygen species (ROS) or increasing nitric oxide (NO) in the brains of rodents attenuates hypertension induced by systemic treatment with angiotensin II or aldosterone. The present proposal will extend these unique findings by addressing the following questions: 1) Where does estrogen act in the brain to evoke its antihypertensive protection? 2) What brain estrogen receptor subtype(s) is/are necessary for this antihypertensive protection? and 3) What are the roles of [Ca2+]i and of altering the balance between ROS and NO in the cellular mediation of estrogen's protective effects? Methods to be used in conducting experiments to answer these questions include: chronic telemetric measurements of blood pressure and heart rate in rats and mice, in vitro imaging of rat paraventricular nucleus neurons to determine the effects of estrogen on angiotensin II- and aldosterone-induced changes in [Ca2+]i and [ROS]i in anatomically identified ("tagged"), putative premotor sympathetic neurons, pharmacological methods, small interference RNA to selectively attenuate expression of estrogen receptor subtypes in the brain, and genetically manipulated mice to selectively remove (knockout) ER1 or ER2. A full understanding of cellular and brain mechanisms underlying the effects of sex estrogen receptor subtypes, and sex steroids in the pathogenesis of hypertension is critical for the continued development of therapies to treat cardiovascular disease in both men and women.
Hypertension is a major risk factor for heart disease, stroke, atherosclerosis, renal disease and blindness. There is a substantial body of evidence indicating that females of child bearing age in comparison to males are protected against high blood pressure and new evidence indicates that part of this protection results from the action of estrogen on the central nervous system Understanding the role of estrogen on the brain to prevent high blood pressure is likely to lead to new methods for prevention and treatment of this disorder.

Broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) may be crucial component of the protective immunity conferred by an effective HIV-1 vaccine. Ab responses in natural HIV-1 infection are overwhelmingly non-neutralizing. However, a fraction of patients do eventually develop exceptionally broad and potent bNAb responses. We hypothesize that a better understanding of the specificities that underlie this broad serum neutralization will enable us to identify the most desirable targets and develop a full spectrum of vaccine design strategies. New epitopes may be particularly amenable to design or attractive by being unusually broad or potent. Researchers have recently accessed various monoclonal bNAbs (mbNAbs) by high throughput functional screening and/or by targeted selection of memory B cells from infected donors who exhibit broad serum NAb responses. However, these efforts remain challenging, in part due to the rarity of desirable memory B cells and the lack of authentic baits to select new specificities. Based on the premise that native Env trimers are the exclusive targets of NAbs, here we propose using virus-like particles (VLPs) bearing only native Env trimers as baits to retrieve novel mbNAbs that will illuminate novel sites of vulnerability.
Our Specific Aims are:
Specific Aim 1 : To investigate monoclonal bNAb relationships on native trimer VLPs. We will determine the binding relationships of various mbNAb pairs by trimer VLP ELISA. Any antagonistic or synergistic combinations we identify could impact the therapeutic or prophylactic applications of mbNAb combinations. Selected mbMAb combinations will be further investigated in neutralization synergy assays.
Specific Aim 2 : To map the specificities of broadly neutralizing sera using native trimer VLPs. We will evaluate the ability of a panel of broadly neutralizing HIV+ sera to inhibit trimer VLP binding by the panel of mbNAbs used in Aim 1. This will allow us to prioritize B cell selections (Aim 3) from donor PBMCs whose sera exhibit novel NAb specificities.
Specific Aim 3 : To rescue mbNAbs using fluorescent trimer VLPs as baits. With an expert collaborator, we will develop methods to use fluorescently labeled trimer VLPs as baits and probe donor PBMCs to label and retrieve mbNAb clones responsible for broad serum neutralization. We will prioritize donors whose sera appear to target unique epitopes from mapping studies in Aim 2.
Specific Aim 4 : To characterize new mbNAbs. We will determine the specificity, breadth and potency of new mbNAbs. We will examine their binding relationships with other mbNAb specificities on the native trimer, as in Aim 1. To better understand their ontogeny, we will also examine their sequences, segment usage and divergence from nearest germline.
The public health relevance of this proposal is to better understand why bNAbs generated in HIV-1-infected individuals are far more effective than any NAbs thus far induced by vaccination. We will focus on expanding the repertoire of completely new specificities. This will provide new knowledge on the vulnerable sites on HIV-1 and impetus to induce similar responses in vaccine setting. New antibodies may also be useful in prophylactic or therapeutic settings, especially if they recognize novel sites on the virus, are potent, broad and/or act in synergy with others.

text: Sneaky VAWA-Opposing Republicans Are Now Pretending They Care About LadiesKatie J.M. Baker3/08/13 11:00amFiled to: VawaViolence Against Women ActLiarstweetAppic39EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Remember when a whopping 130 House Republicans voted against the Violence Against Women Act reauthorization bill last month? Some of them are banking on your amnesia. Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), for example, issued a statement with the headline, "King Votes in Support of Violence Against Women Act." How lovely! Advertisement Advertisement "I supported VAWA in 2005, 2012, and today I voted in support of the House version to see that victims of domestic violence and sexual assault have access to the resources and protection when they need it most," it reads.Uh, except King actually voted for GOP's alternative bill which did not (and wasn't expected to) actually advance. Psh, details. The Maddow blog's Steve Benen found a number of shady Republicans that did the exact same thing, including Reps. Tim Griffin (R-Ark.), Tim Walberg (R-Mich.), Keith Rothfus (R-Pa.), Tim Murphy (R-Pa.), and a bunch of other lying liars. Sponsored Some of them got impressively weasely, like Griffin, who said he voted for "House passage of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) Reauthorization (H.Res. 83) in a statement titled "Proud to Support House VAWA." But H.Res. 83 is a procedural resolution, not VAWA. Fuckers. Check out Benen's post for the full list — which we're sure is still developing.[h/t Huffington Post]Reply39 repliesLeave a reply

Traditionally, I think it fair to say, Christmas has been no more a time of jollity in this house than any other season. This year, however, the atmosphere makes the opening scene of Scrooge seem like the closing scene of It's a Wonderful Life. The cause of disharmony is the operation on my "significantly deviated septum" scheduled for January 28 2000. I cannot stop thinking about the implications for Christmasses yet to come.
"Oh Christ, no," says my wife as she catches me mournfully fingering the fairy lights. "Not the 'I'll never see another Christmas tree' act again, please." I don't say anything. What's the point? If Rebecca will not share my concerns that a freak anaesthetic accident at the Charing Cross hospital's day surgery unit will render me a vegetable, there is nothing I can do.
Marital tension rises another notch, and now stands at what was known in the cold war-era Pentagon as DefCon One. The escalation follows an overheard phone conversation. "Yes, that's right, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No, no, the insurance will cover everything," Rebecca hears me saying down the line, it later transpires, from the top of the stairs. "The patient? Ah, that's me. Yes, I know I sound all right now, but the operation isn't until..." It is at this point that an unseen finger appears to cut me off. "Don't tell me you're booking nursing care for when you become a post-operative vegetable," says my wife. "I'm not telling you anything, except put down that glass. Put down that..." As she slams the front door and leaves for work, I head dolefully for the broom cupboard to begin the familiar search for dustpan and brush.
I awake with a nasty, phlegmy cough and constricted chest, having passed a desperately troubled night. As the digital clock flashed 3am, I was visited by the ghost of Medical Christmas Past. As this maudlin phantom took me back through time, a pattern quickly emerged. In every year since 1975 - except for 1979 (whooping cough), 1984 (middle ear infection), 1990 (conjunctivitis) and 1996 (flu), I suffer an attack of Yuletide bronchitis. "Amoxycillin, amoxycillin," whispered the spirit. "Call Sarah Jarvis." And with that he was gone. Things cannot get any worse.
Things have got worse. When I call Dr Jarvis at home, an unfamiliar voice answers. "Oh," it says, "I'm afraid she's not here. The family have moved... No, I'm sorry, she asked me not give out their new number." "Yes, but the ghost of Medical Christmas Past told me..." "I'm very sorry. Goodbye." When I raise the matter with Rebecca, she flashes her Blofeld grin. "Did I not mention they were moving?" she says. "How remiss of me." "Where have they gone?" "London, I think." Mechanically, and without any hope, I ask for the number. She smiles again and peels a tangerine.
I awake distraught after another troubled night, this time in the company of the ghost of Medical Christmas Present... a jolly, bearded spirit twice the size of Brian Blessed, four times as loud and eight times as irritating. According to him, I do not have bronchitis, am in good health and should be having fun. When I point out that he should try living here for a while before he talks blithely about fun, the ghost cackles dementedly, says he is off to climb Everest and is gone.
I awake, but I cannot describe the misery and terror with which I do so. Nor do I wish to dwell on the ghost of Medical Christmas Yet To Come, a gaunt, pallid, unspeaking spectre who led me to this day 12 months hence. We are in the kitchen, where a party is taking place. A log fire is crackling (a minor worry, this, since there is no fireplace in the kitchen), and Dr Jarvis and Rebecca are dancing a jig. "This is jolly," I say, suddenly cheered. "This is marvellous." Lifting the hood of his cloak, the ghost (a ringer for Alan Milburn) points a bony finger towards the corner of the room and beckons me over to a wheelchair occupied by a figure thinner even than himself. It is me, of course, the imbecile grin just visible through all the tubing, the life support machine gurgling contentedly at my side. Rebecca comes over. She is glowing with luminescent joy. "Do you know," she says, feeding a liquidised mince pie into one of the tubes, "I think this is the best Christmas we've ever had."

In a recent message you said that Patriot was a polyploid, but then
you wouldn't give any details. I've looked at the flowers on Francee
and Patriot and the flowers are about the same size as far as I can
tell. However, I do notice that the anthers on Patriot are larger and
they seem to have more pollen.
Now, are you claiming that Patriot is a full tetraploid, a ctyochimera
tetraploid or other ploidy? I'm assuming you are basing this on flow
cytometer data. Have you done a chromosome count? Is there any
difference in fertility between Francee and Patriot?

text: Le'Veon Bell to start against Redskins on Monday night August 19, 2013 by Michael Richter Leave a Comment Mike Prisuta of DVE Radioreported via Twitter that Le'Veon Bell will start against the Redskins. This is an interesting report considering that Le'Veon Bell was banged up in practice this past week. It'll be interesting to see if this holds up.

The most profound innovation to come to many crops in the last generation -- and one of the most widespread -- is genetic engineering. The cultivation of corn and soy today is so scientifically and technologically advanced it would be unrecognizable to a farmer just 40 years ago.
Eighty percent of the 86 million acres of corn planted in the United States today -- as well as 92 percent of the soy, and a good deal of the squash, tomatoes, potatoes, canola and a host of other crops -- comes from genetically engineered, or "GE," seed. Yet despite these crops' ubiquity, 60 percent of Americans don't even know they're eating GE foods.
Even before GE crops were introduced in 1996, debate raged among scientists, farmers, environmentalists and public health officials and academics regarding their safety, with pro and con sides finding little common ground.
"There's now overwhelming evidence that GE foods are unsafe and should never have been introduced," says Jeffrey M. Smith, author of self-published books purporting to show just that.
"Foods derived from biotechnology have been eaten by billions of people without a single documented health problem," counters Sharon Bomer Lauritsen, Executive Vice President for Food and Agriculture of BIO, the lobbying arm of the biotech industry.
It's difficult to find a scientist knowledgeable on the topic who doesn't have financial ties to the biotechnology industry, and it's equally challenging to find an opponent of GE who seems capable of recognizing its potential and doesn't object to the technology per se.
So what's the deal? First, some background:
GE seed contains a gene from a different organism in its DNA, giving the plant it produces desirable traits. Although the biotechnology industry has long promised nutrient-rich and drought- and frost-resistant crops to alleviate hunger and malnutrition among the world's poor (any day now, we're told), the overwhelming majority of GE seed today is modified to tolerate certain pesticides and herbicides -- which in many cases are made by the same companies selling the patented seeds. For instance, St. Louis-based agrochemical giant Monsanto makes Roundup Ready® soy, which is resistant to a pesticide Monsanto sells, enabling farmers to virtually drown their crop in the synthetic chemical. The result is that Roundup® is the most popular agricultural pesticide in the Unites States.
Claims by manufacturers that this makes farming more economical and better for the environment by reducing both the amount of work that goes into the crop, and how much farmers have to spray, are supported by august bodies of science, though some studies place doubt on those findings.
Smith's anti-GMO claim is contradicted by the National Academy of Sciences in the Unites States as well as the UK's leading academy of medical science, the Royal Society of Medicine.
Lauritsen's claim, however, is unsupportable because the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Proving safety would require a massive, longitudinal epidemiological study with a control group that has never been exposed to GE foods, which may be well-nigh impossible given that the GE toothpaste is out of the tube: GE seeds migrate into fields of non-GE varieties, so they are virtually impossible to avoid.
Which makes the possible hazards to human health and the environment from GE foods disturbing to some. Alteration of the DNA of GE foods carries the potential to turn them toxic or cause allergic reactions, and their use may actually have led to an increase of spraying of harmful chemicals into the environment.
European nations have even banned GE foods in response to public outcry.
Who is responsible for ensuring that agricultural products are safe for human consumption and the environment?
Should the government commission independent scientific analysis to ensure safety of GE crops to human health and the environment? Should companies be trusted to make their products safe, suffering civil damages if they're later proven otherwise? Or should consumers be left to fend for themselves?
GE crops in the United States are approved for use by either the Agriculture Department, the EPA, or the FDA, each with its own process.
Bill Freese, science policy analyst at the Center for Food Safety, says the government needs "to improve the regulatory system, which is a rubber stamp designed to enhance public confidence without ensuring safety."
BIO's Lauritsen, meanwhile, "supports the current U.S. regulatory framework," saying "biotech crops go through extensive testing and review."
But Gregory Jaffe, a lawyer who is director of biotechnology projects at the Center for Science in the Public Interest, says "that's misleading. The FDA has a voluntary consultation process, which I think is inadequate." (We've seen what self-regulation has done to financial markets and the waters of the Gulf of Mexico.) The USDA, Jaffe says, does "a fairly good job of ensuring it doesn't have an impact on agricultural interests, but the process to [minimize] environmental impact is inadequate." Jaffe rates the EPA tops at ensuring against food safety risk of the crops it oversees, which includes all that corn.
Bottom line (keeping in mind that I am neither doctor nor scientist):
For the small percentage of the population that's extremely food-sensitive or has severe allergies, it's probably best to avoid GE foods when possible. That means buying organic anything containing corn, soy, or canola (check your labels -- you'll be surprised to find how many food products this includes).
If you care about family farms, personal liberties, or the environment, you should also buy organic -- organic certification means no GE -- wherever practical. Monsanto has used some rough tactics on small farmers that don't toe its company line, and the organic farmers threatened by GE varieties blowing into their fields, or being carried there by birds, tend not to be part of Big Ag. They also support crop diversity and petrochemical-free farming by planting varieties farmers have been using for centuries (and not patented by giant corporations), and by keeping chemical formulations and harmful nitrogen-based fertilizers out of the groundwater and agricultural runoff.
No matter who you are, you should support legitimate scientific review of new biotech crops coming to market; all three regulating agencies have periods of public comment before they OK a new GE crop, and Congress has the authority to change the way GMOs are OK'd by the government.
Finally, if you want to keep your head from spinning, make this the last article you read about genetically engineered foods for awhile.

Wat Si Maha Pho, Tambon Khok Pip, Amphoe Si Mahosot, Prachin Buri
This ancient Banyan tree (Ton Pho in Thai) is also the country's oldest, located in a temple named Wat Ton Pho Si Maha Pho. Approximately 2,000 years ago, the seedling stock of this tree was brought to the country from India's religious Bodh Gaya site, where it flourished and grew. The tree now stands approximately 30 meters tall.
According to folklore, the ruler of the ancient city of Mueang Mahosot sent his representatives to India's Pataliputra. The representatives requested a branch of a very special Banyan tree – the same tree under which the Lord Buddha had attained enlightenment. At present, this tree is a significant Prachin Buri symbol. It is commemorated yearly on Visakha Puja Day.
To get there, from Prachin Buri town take Highway No.319 to Phanom Sarakam for 32 kilometers and turn left for 1 kilometer.

Sometimes referred to as "InnerFence" (one word), Inner Fence, LLC (innerfence.com) is a Redmond, Washington-based company that focuses on building credit card processing software for mobile devices such as the Android and iPhone. Similar to services like Pay Anywhere, GoPayment, and Square, Inner Fence allows merchants to accept credit card payments on smartphones and tablets. However, unlike most other mobile providers, Inner Fence's service also includes the ability to accept swiped and keyed card transactions on Windows and Mac computers. This platform flexibility makes Inner Fence one of the better choices for established merchants that regularly accept card payments in-store and on the go.
Inner Fence was founded in 2007 and operates in an apparent joint venture with Merchant Focus, which supplies some of the actual credit card processing. The companies also acquired AppNinjas (Swipe), another mobile processor, in 2010. Inner Fence's current default plan utilizes Stripe as the company's backend processor. Inner Fence's co-founder and CEO is Derek Del Conte, and its other co-founder and CTO is Ryan Johnson. Inner Fence is headquartered at 16701 NE 80th St, Suite 204, Redmond, Washington 98052.

Sales & Marketing
Key Points - Sales & Marketing
|Employs Independent Resellers
|Advertises Deceptive Rates
|Discloses All Important Terms
Inner Fence uses no deceptive advertising or rate quoting tactics that are apparent to this reviewer. In fact, the company's website is one of the most transparent among all reviewed providers (see below). It appears that Inner Fence primarily markets its service through online marketing, referral partnerships, and referrals from Merchant Focus, and there is no indication at this time that Inner Fence employs independent sales agents or utilizes telemarketing campaigns. We therefore award the company an "A+" in this category.
Phillip's Top E-Commerce Picks
Costs & Contract
Key Points - Costs & Contract
|Swiped Rate
|2.9% + $0.30
|Keyed-in Rate
|2.9% + $0.30
|Early Termination Fee
|PCI Compliance Fee
|Equipment Lease Terms
Inner Fence splits its pricing for new merchants into three categories: U.S. Merchants, Canadian Merchants, and Non-Profits. All three receive month-to-month agreements with no cancellation fees, no setup fees, no minimum fees, no annual fees, no AVS fees, no batch header fees, no leasing or PCI Compliance fees, one free card reader, unlimited registers, and unlimited phone support. All new merchants pay 2.9% plus $0.30 per transaction and a monthly fee of $39 except for non-profits, which receive a discounted monthly fee of $29.
For existing U.S.-based merchants, the company's pricing gets more complicated. Existing merchants can choose from the "Individual," "Professional," or "Business" plan, and each comes with its own pricing. Individual users can pay $9 per month for a single terminal and 1.9% per transaction. Professional users pay $79 per month and 0.9% per transaction for up to 10 terminals. Business users pay a flat $299 per month with no transaction fees and can use up to 20 terminals.
Aside from processing costs, merchants who wish to have more than one card reader will need to purchase extras for $79 each (the first one is free). Be sure to check the company's website and service agreement for full rate and fee disclosure.

Complaints & Service
Key Points - Complaints & Service
|Total Online Complaints
|Live Customer Support
|Most Common Complaint
Inner Fence has no complaints filed in the usual forums and the app has received high ratings in the iTunes and Android app marketplaces. This leads us to believe that the majority of Inner Fence users are satisfied with the rates and service they receive. Additionally, the company offers a dedicated customer support phone number as well as email support, which sets it apart from many of its mobile competitors. We feel that the company's low complaint rate merits an "A" rating in this section.
Phillip's Top "High-Risk" Processing Picks
Key Points - BBB
|Product & Service Complaints
|Billing & Collection Complaints
|Advertising & Sales Complaints
|Guarantee & Warranty Complaints
|Delivery Complaints
Inner Fence is not accredited with the Better Business Bureau and currently has an "A+" rating based on no complaints having been filed in the last three years. Inner Fence also does not have any informal reviews posted to its profile, although it should be noted that these reviews are not subject to verification by the BBB. It is our belief that "A+" ratings should generally be reserved for companies with zero complaints, so we agree with the BBB's rating at this time.
Inner Fence Bottom Line
Overall, Inner Fence scores well in most of the important areas of merchant credit card acceptance. The service is best suited for established merchants that regularly accept credit card payments ($3,000+ per month) and want wider platform compatibility. Inner Fence has drawbacks including pricing and expensive additional card readers that, in some cases, will make it costlier than its competitors. Learn more about the company by visiting the Inner Fence website.
