elderberry industry
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|Increased production of North American Elderberry (Sambucus canadensis) for its use in value-added secondary products is a prime example of the growth in non-traditional agroforestry product markets. Nonetheless, greater demand of elderberry products may be fostered through a better understanding of consumer preferences. With detailed information of the consumer market for elderberry products, prospective firms can develop strategies to enter the elderberry industry and firms currently supplying the market can develop strategies to increase their market share. The research is composed of both local exploratory consumer research and a national consumer preferences survey. The local exploratory research included: (1) a local consumer survey and (2) a consumer focus group. Information gained in exploratory research was then used to create an effective online consumer preference survey. The online survey gathered information from 1,048 household from the continental United States on their preferences for elderberry juice and jelly products. A cluster analysis was applied to define consumer market segments based on how respondents identified their lifestyles and whether they had purchased elderberry products. The four market segments were composed of health conscious elderberry consumers, less health conscious elderberry consumers, health conscious prospective consumers and less health conscious prospective consumers. A choice-based conjoint analysis was then used in the survey to estimate consumer sensitivity to product attributes of price, health related claims and the origin labels. As a result of the study, firms selling elderberry products will be able to increase the sale of their products through effective market strategies.

College Football 2012 — Week 12 Preview
We're down to the home stretch of the regular season, with most teams having just two games remaining. There aren't many big games this week, with only two top 25 matchups and five ranked SEC schools dropping down to play FCS teams. But there is still some action this week that could shake up conference-title races. #1 Oregon faces a ranked team and #2 Kansas State hits the road against one of the nation's top offenses. Hey, after last week, anything's possible.
Here is what to watch for this week in the top 25:
Hud Made the Right Call – From the Bird's Nest
College Football 2012 – Week 11 Recap
Now things are getting interesting.
Texas A&M threw college football for a loop, pulling off the biggest upset of the season and, at least for the time being, knocking the SEC out of the national title picture. But that was far from the only excitement this week in college football.
Here is all the action from around the Top 25.

Here is what to watch for this week in college football:

It was another crazy weekend in college football with Alabama and Notre Dame needing last minute rallies to survive, Oregon and USC giving us a PAC-12 shootout for the ages and the Heisman frontrunner leaving with an injury.

Cajuns Clip Wings of ULM Warhawks, 40-24
College Football 2012 — Week 10 Preview

You want to borrow someone's car. Could be for the shopping, to collect a relative or just because you need to go from A to B. One problem. Your third party cover normally allows you to drive legally (your car insurance cert. will confirm this). But if you crash the car, you will have to find the funds to pay for any damage you caused to the car you borrowed!
with AXA comprehensive car insurance, for an additional premium, you can upgrade your "driving other cars" cover from third party to comprehensive.
This means we also pay for the damage caused to any car you borrow up to 2000cc with a maximum value of €50,000.
Are there terms and conditions?
You have to be aged 25-70.
Full Terms and Conditions
Any Driver
You're at work, you feel unwell and need to get home (but can't drive). Or your next door neighbour asks to borrow your car as theirs is getting serviced. Or your relative drops hints about borrowing your car for a weekend away. Or you're going on holiday and your friends are moving house.
Or you just want open driving -without the hassle!
No problem. You can upgrade your policy so other drivers aged 25-70 with a full, clean ROI or UK driving licence can drive your car with your permission.
There's an additional premium, but the flexibility and peace of mind is priceless!
Are there terms and conditions?
Other drivers must be aged 25-70 with a full,
clean ROI or UK licence.

What is the 3-5-3 defense?
This page will:
- Define the 3-5-3 defense
- Discuss the 3-5-3 defense's strengths
- Discuss the 3-5-3 defense's perceived weaknesses
The 3-5-3 defense refers to the personnel used by the defense to stop the offense. The 3-5-3 defense uses 3 down linemen on the line of scrimmage, 5 linebackers within 5 yards of the ball and 3 defensive backs deep to cover the pass.
There are other variations to this defense. For example, the 3-3-5 defense uses a very similar alignment but a different personnel grouping. The 3-3-5 defense uses 3 down linemen on the line of scrimmage, 3 true linebackers within 5 yards of the ball and 5 defensive backs to support the run and defend the pass.
This flexibility allows you to run the 3-5-3 defense with any available personnel. Examples:
- An overabundance of linemen – use different groups of 3 to always have a well rested defensive line.
- An overabundance of linebackers – Use linebackers at the front 8 positions, even on the line of scrimmage.
- An overabundance of defensive backs – get more speed by playing smaller fast kids on the 2nd and 3rd levels.
Why run the 3-5-3 defense?
There are many reasons to run the 3-5-3 defense. Here are a few of the strengths of the 3-5-3 defense:
- The 3-5-3 defense is fun to coach, play and watch - Coaches can create unlimited plays, stunts, blitzes and coverages. The kids get to run around and just play football. The fans love it because its different and aggressive.
- The 3-5-3 defense is flexible in regards to personnel - No matter what kind of kids you have on hand, this defense can be modified to fit your personnel. This is not true in other defenses. The 4-3 needs dominant tackles, a good 50 defense needs a solid nose guard that can 2-gap. The 3-5-3 defense just needs players that are aggressive and love to run.
- The 3-5-3 defense lets the Coach be a factor – the 3-5-3 defense gives you countless options for fronts, stunts, blitzes and coverages. It allows the coach to design schemes that put kids in great position to make plays and overcome superior opponents. The 3-5-3 defense is also a very easy defense for game planning and attacking what an offense does best.
- The 3-5-3 defense allows you to put more speed on the field – In the 3-5-3, players will never be asked to take on an opponent head on. You don't need large defensive linemen or linebackers in the 3-5-3 defense. The 3-5-3 defense allows you to play smaller players who are often quicker and faster. In football, speed kills. Especially on defense.
- The 3-5-3 defense easily adjusts and lines up to any offensive formation - The possibilities for offensive formations and schemes are endless. Because the 3-5-3 defense is balanced on both sides of the ball, you can easily adjust to any offensive alignment by moving only 2 or 3 of your players.
- The 3-5-3 defense is easy to teach – The 3-5-3 defense only requires each position to learn a few basic techniques and alignment. Because your focus is on perfecting a few techniques and alignments, your kids will play faster and be more successful.
- The 3-5-3 defense allows your best athletes to shine – The 3-5-3 defense allows you to put your best kids in strategic positions that protect them from being blocked easily. This allows your best players to run around and make plays like no other defense can.

Y'all niggas can't control me
from Kanye West (Ft. Frank Ocean) – New Slaves Lyrics on Genius
Kanye's rebelling against attempts to control him, a major theme on Yeezus, with a fashion designer's attempts to control him inspiring a whole song.
Big corporations (typically run by rich white folks) to a certain degree control almost every aspect of our lives. It's hard to escape businesses that are "too big to fail", whether it be through the lack of choice in buying different products (they usually own all the "competition) or these corporations holding considerable influence in government (see Monsanto).
Prince has had similar issues with corporations

- Then cut the halves in half again…
- …to make quarters.
- Lay each wedge on a sheet of aluminum foil large enough to wrap it up in. Spoon about 2 tbsp of the marinade on top making sure to get it in all the nooks and crannies.
- Wrap each wedge and bake for 20-30 minutes.
- I say 20-30 becuase they will continue to cook once you pull them out and I like mine still crunchy. So I let them sit for a little while pull them out around the 20 minute mark. However, some like to cook them up to an hour for softer cabbage.
- The wedges reheat wonderfull in the oven or the microwave!

In this paper we report both numerical and experimentally high numerical aperture on a mesostructure based on fishnet-like building blocks. Under the indefinite media framework, we are able to identify a negative refraction never cutoff band (3rd band of the extraordinary transmission metamaterial) with low-losses at millimeter-waves. We relate negative refraction with the diffraction modes of the periodic structure. The work is another step forward in the new but rapidly evolving subfield of negative refraction metamaterials by anisotropy. The breadth and utility of this approach suggests that metamaterials at their meso-scale may circumvent the problem associated to narrowness and losses exhibited by negative refractive index media at their subwavelength domain, while still being away from the wavelength scale of electromagnetic band-gap. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

You're right in that the kids are confused, however, they should know right from wrong, in this case, they should've known better to do what they did to the extent that they did it. I do blame the parents of these kids, mostly but you know, it's always easy to point the finger. I hope the best for the poor comatose child.
I'm guessing the parents aren't pressing charges in fear of retaliation from the attackers parents. There's alot of that in urban areas, families getting involved and threatening those that are pressing charges.
This whole thing is disgusting. If it were my child I'd do everything I could to make damn sure that those kids were punished. And the parents of those kids... I don't even want to go there now.

" Since that is totally unsustainable it will have to break, which means it'll get fixed. Whenever you get such massive inefficiency in a system it becomes extinct and something more efficient replaces it. It's happened in the auto industry, it happened in the railroad industry before that, it's happened in just about every industry at some point. "
What might ask, what are you pretending TO know?[g]
The auto industry is in the process of shifting and collapsing, nothing has actually changed and come out anew yet. Cheaper players (like the Japanese, subsidized by their government) have taken large market share--but the US players have yet to make any real significant long-term changes.
Ditto the rail industry, which simply was decimated by airlines in the US, and still has never recovered much less regrouped from it. What we've got left are Amtrak passenger rail runs--which take twice as long as they did 50 years ago, and cost more than the airlines do, and Amtrak may yet be shut down and terminated as a failure by Congress and their failure to become independent and profitable.
Then there's the deregulated aviation industry, where safety is measured in "costs per death payment" rather than 'safety", and except for the government bailout after 9/11, we'd have seen United and American both driven into bankruptcy by $50-100 BILLION dollars in claims, and their route probably sold to ElAl and Air India, both of which have security policies which would have prevented 9/11 entirely.
Healthcare? Yeah, the prices are going up, the providers (what used to be called "doctors") are going broke, the subscribers are getting screwed, the executives are making huge money--and the state and federal regulators ignore it all. Watch for an NBC-TV national report by Brian Williams in another week or two, highlighting the way that Medicare abuse reports are being ignored by city, county, state, federal, FBI, Medicare, agencies at all levels. Ignored--instead of being investigated. There's some big time ineptness (or corruption) going on.
Changing the rules? Sorry, my friend, it will take a revolution, and we've all been taught in school that good little droids don't do that.

In the meantime, Richard said he had his bagman and driver, Tony Rucereto, sound out the union reps to see if they'd appreciate $50,000 in exchange for what he called "labor peace." Rucereto, who also testified for the prosecution, said that Forde never said a word when the bribe was offered, only staring back at him "stone cold." Later, Forde added, cryptically: "No non-union men."
Still, Richard was so convinced they had a deal that he set up another meeting for the payoff, at the Hooters restaurant across the street from the hotel. He said Rucereto brought $10,000 cash and that, while he never saw the money change hands, it was gone when they left the restaurant. Rucereto added to the mystery by saying he must have missed the payoff while he was in the bathroom. Richard's clearest recollection—one he has stuck to for eight years—was that as the men sat and drank, Forde made a small joke: "Mr. Forde said he shouldn't be having a beer; they were cracking down at the union."
In their summations, defense attorneys Dowd and Lankler said that Richard, who once bragged about buying champagne at the Oak Room and trinkets for a stripper named Lola, was a "pathological liar," even reading about the malady from medical dictionaries.
"If he was a pathological liar," responded assistant D.A. Scotto when his turn came, "you'd think he would've come up with a better lie."
Whatever the truth of the matter, this time the jury wasn't buying. It deliberated all of 90 minutes on the evening of June 10 before voting to acquit both defendants. "The circumstantial evidence was compelling," said one juror a few days later. "Still, the defense piled on the nagging doubts, and I wasn't convinced enough to send the guys to jail."
After the verdict, Mike Forde, who is trying to quit, lit up a victory cigarette. He deserved it. It is not every day you beat a mob curse.

Number of arrows?
Just wondering how many arrows you guys have come across whislt playing the game I've got 5, the one you start with, found 3 on the boat and then 1 in the amusement park. Are there Anymore laying about?
...there's 3 on the Boat? I've only ever gotten the starting Arrow, and the one in the Amusement Park.
Wait, are you playing on Survivor or Normal? I've only ever played on Survivor, and Normal is supposed to have a lot more supplies available.
When i found the 3 on the boat I was on normal, just replayed it on survival and they aren't there, could only find the 1 at the amusement park like you said.
dang, I thought I searched the boat pretty well, but did not find those arrows. Just the one at the amusement park... that definitely would have helped! I was on Normal btw.
Hm, same for me, I only found 1 in the amusement park and was playing on normal. I thought I searched the boat very thorough as well...

An all-party meeting called by Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar on Tuesday failed to break the parliamentary deadlock over the Opposition demand for a joint parliamentary committee (JPC) probe into the 2G spectrum allocation scandal, raising apprehension that the almost lost winter session will meet an early end.
Opposition parties rejected the government offer of a Supreme Court-monitored Central Bureau of Investigation probe, saying that would not serve the purpose of "accountability" to Parliament, for which a JPC was necessary.
The government was hopeful that a court-monitored CBI probe would be acceptable to the BJP. Initially, the Left parties mentioned this as a possible alternative.
However, after three weeks of parliamentary deadlock, parties have hardened their stance — the Opposition for a JPC and the government dead set against it.
Eleven non-Congress, non-BJP parties, including the Left, made their point even before the Speaker's meeting ended when their leaders marched to the Rashtrapati Bhavan to seek the President Pratibha Patil's intervention to get their JPC demand conceded and conditions created for normal functioning of Parliament.
A memorandum signed by 78 MPs from four Left parties, the Telugu Desam Party, the Janata Dal (Secular), the All-India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, the Asom Gana Parishad, the Biju Janata Dal, the Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam and the Rashtriya Lok Dal was given to the President.
Apparently, the Opposition was not ready to budge from its demand and the government remained equally firm that it could not be conceded, Ms. Kumar wanted to know whether Parliament could at least take up question hour. The Opposition's response was negative.
Leader of the Opposition in the House Sushma Swaraj later told journalists: "Why only question hour? We are asking for a JPC, which is within parliamentary rules. Concede that demand and Parliament will function normally through the day. We are willing to sit for longer hours to make up for lost time and help [the government] get through all the business."
The non-Congress, non-BJP parties blamed the Congress' "obduracy" for the impasse in the session.
"This scam is the single largest corruption scandal in independent India, estimated by the Comptroller and Auditor-General (CAG) to have led to a loss of over Rs. 1.76 lakh crore to the exchequer," CPI(M) Rajya Sabha MP Sitaram Yechury said.
He said their delegation pointed out to the President that JPCs had been constituted to go into corruption of even smaller dimensions.
Apart from nailing the guilty, it was necessary to find out how the system could be so manipulated as to result in such a massive scam.
The delegation told the President that the estimated loss of revenue from the scam could alone have funded food security for the entire country or implementation of the Right to Education.
The JPC could suggest safeguards and new laws to prevent such malpractices in the future, it was pointed out.

Creating an annual roundup of legal web technology predictions was never on my personal "to do" list. Rather, it was an accidental offering started here at Slaw a few years ago. Now, much like repeated broadcasts of "It's a Wonderful Life," it's somehow become a holiday tradition.
Some of these predictions pick up on current trends, and extend my own perspective of how that trend might play out in the legal market. Others ideas are clearly more "blue sky," my honest attempts at swinging for the fences (or more accurately, my emulations of the Mighty Casey). Either way, this is always a fun column, and one I now look forward to writing each December.

An unidentified man, claiming to polish gold jewellery for customers, cheated a woman of five sovereigns of jewellery in VKV Nagar in Thudiyalur on Friday.
In a complaint lodged with Thudiyalur police, Deepa (29) said that a man came to her house and offered to polish gold jewellery.
Deepa handed over a gold chain to him. He put the jewellery in a pressure cooker and sprinkled some powder on it. The man asked her to cover the cooker and boil the jewellery for 15 minutes. He then requested her for water. When she returned with water, the man was missing with the gold chain. The police registered a case and are searching for the culprit.
Second incident
This is the second incident in a week. Two unidentified men, claiming to polish gold jewellery, had cheated two women of seven-and-a-half sovereigns of jewellery in Ramanathapuram. City Police Commissioner Amaresh Pujari has asked people to be cautious against persons using a similar ploy to cheat them of their jewellery.
Modus operandi
The police, explaining the modus operandi through a statement, said that the conmen usually operated in pairs and approach women who were alone at home during daytime. They would speak Hindi and Tamil.
They would claim that as part of their companies' promotional campaign, they were offering to polish gold and silver items free of cost and ask the victims to hand over the jewellery.
They would place the jewellery inside the cooker, and after sprinkling turmeric and some other powder, would boil it for 15 minutes. By distracting the attention of the women, they would spirit away the jewellery.
The police said that if people came across such persons, they could alert the control room by dialling 100.

State Bank of India, on Wednesday, slashed lending rates on car and home loans by up to 0.5 per cent, a day after one per cent cut in SLR by the Reserve Bank.
SBI has reduced interest rate on home loans of up to Rs. 30 lakh to 10.25 per cent from existing 10.50 per cent (after 0.25 per cent concession over the card rate), a senior bank official said.
On the home loans of beyond Rs. 30 lakh but less than Rs. 75 lakh, the new rate will be 10.40 per cent against the existing 10.75 per cent, down 0.35 per cent.
The new rates would be effective from August 7, the official added. The base rate or minimum lending rate of SBI stands at 10 per cent. Base rate is the benchmark rate below which a bank cannot lend.
With regard to the car loan, the reduction is to the extent of 0.5 per cent.
The new car loan would be 10.75 per cent against the existing rate of 11.25 per cent for a seven-year loan. Now for every Rs. 1 lakh, a customer has to pay Rs. 1,699 EMI against Rs. 1,725 per month earlier. SBI claimed this as the lowest EMI. With the reduction, a borrower would end up saving Rs. 312 per year on every one lakh.

Labrador Retrievers Belle and Thunder are the tops in their class.
These two dogs, owned by Dr. Greg Joy of Joy Vision Eye Care in the Raddison Health Center, have been in hunting competitions for around 10 years. Being an avid hunter, Joy wanted to get a hunting dog to accompany his hunts. First he adopted Thunder, now 10. Belle came four years later. Both dogs were raised and trained from puppies.
Both dogs participated in the outdoor hunting competitions where the dogs have to listen to their master, and track down certain ducks that have been shot in the air. The competitions include a series of land and water areas.
There are different levels to these competitions. The junior level consists of a duck shot in which the owner is in control commanding the dog to sit, stay, heal and more.
The senior level demonstrates the skills of a good hunting dog. Multiple ducks are shot and the dog has to remember where it is, which duck to retrieve and when to get it, while still listening to the owner's commands.
Thunder has received the highest prize, the Master National Hall of Fame. Belle never received this top prize, but is a master hunter, and has gone to the master nationals three times, winning once.
Only about 300 dogs get to nationals. To qualify at nationals, the dog has to be one of the top 30 dogs.
Both dogs are currently in retirement from this sport.
"It gets expensive to travel," said Joy. "It's around $70 to 75 to enter, and around $300 to 400 spent in one weekend."

Ever since I was young I was interested in art... well, that and technology. As I became older and entered high school I enjoyed creating digital images using computers that had about as much computing power as a stapler. Art class was ALWAYS my favorite class and even way back then I was showing signs of incorporating digital tools into my art. Eventually I had a camera in my hand and thus the triforce of artistic creativity was complete.
When asked that age old question of "What do you want to be when you grow up?" I never exactly knew how to answer it. I KNEW I wanted to be an artist and I KNEW that I had some sort of talent in the area, but I was young and unsure of myself.
Over 25 years have passed since the original question was asked, and while I may still not be "grown-up," I do have an answer to the question... A PHOTOGRAPHER. It amazes me that I had combined the 3 things I loved way back at such a young age (art, photography and technology), but lacked the foresight to know where it would eventually take me.
So where do we go from here? Here are 5 facts about me that are, in general, good to know and are some what relevant.
1. I'm a father and a husband. Still getting the hang of the dad thing, but I feel I am up to speed with it now. My son is pretty much my clone (can you say mini me), but is showing signs of becoming his own little person... and I LOVE watching the change. I love my wife and have been with her for over 18 years. So, while flirting at weddings (just to get a good expression... I PROMISE) is part of the job... I'm taken ladies. ;)
2. I am originally from the Outer Banks of NC. I am a native of the area... born and raised (I don't have the accent though)! I miss the warm Atlantic waters... always fun to swim and fish in. It was a great place to live as a young lad, but the "real world" was not there and we decided to move to Oregon to find it.
3. I'm a geek! I love me some tech talk and will probably talk your ear off if given the chance. I am also a Mac. Been using Apple products since 1984 and proud of it. I'm an avid gamer, and while it may seem to be a waste of time to some, I can promise you that a LOT of the same skills go into photography.
4. I love Oregon and the NW! I feel strongly that this is where I am supposed to be. The gloomy days can drag on a bit, but over all I love it here. The mentality and the overall "earth friendliness" of most people in the NW feels right to me. (Still miss that warm Atlantic though.)
5. Creating is as much a necessity as water or air for me... plain and simple.
So... with that I will also toss you 5 other random facts about me that have nothing to do with anything. :P
1. I love swedish fish candies... the red ones are the BEST!
2. I taught myself to read, write and speak Japanese... then I never used it.
3. Hackers is my favorite movie and Harry Potter is my favorite book.
4. I have met Andy Griffith on more then one occasion.
5. I love eating breakfast for dinner (who doesn't?)
So there ya go. Now you know all kinds of stuff about me. What about you? I am guessing that you wouldn't have even made it to this page or even my site if you didn't have some sort of interest in photography or art. Why not drop me an email or leave a comment? Have a looksy at my blog and see what I have been creating and maybe what I can create for you. Local to Oregon? Like coffee? I do! Lets go have a cup and start a conversation.

Bristol 28?
View Single Post
Join Date: Feb 2000

Posts: 6,809
Thanks: 5
Thanked 130 Times in 104 Posts
Rep Power:
To begin with, I had not seen the 28 in photos before (frankly this looks like a 26 in the photos) but this was part of a series of comparatively rare but cool little boats. They were part of that second generation of Bristols that were designed by Halsey Herreshoff as replacement for the first generation Alberg, Alden, Hood boats. The series which included a 22/23, a 26, a 30 (not to be mistaken for the later 29.9 which I really don't especially like), the 33/34 and this boat.
From a design standpoint these were some of the best all around boats that Bristol ever built. The couple that I have sailed on sailed very well, offering good performance and motion comfort for their size and age.
Pricing boats of this age is very difficult. They often need so much stuff (sails, standing and running rigging, engine rebuilds, upholstery, and all kinds of cosmetics) that it is almost imposible to come up with a fair market value. This looks like a decent boat in decent shape with decent upholstery and sails plus a diesel. They are way better built than something like a Catalina 27, and are generally nicer all around boats than the C&C 27.
If this is the Ellen R in Annapolis, the photos show the Builders badge for the boat which would tell you the hull number (sometimes VIN as well). Bristols of this era sometimes had their VIN molded into the hull under the main hatch slide. So, for what it is worth, in my opinion, if there is a clear title and you have the hull numbr, the lack of a visible VIN means absolutely nothing relative to the price of the boat or its desirability for purchase. Boats this age have often been painted and the vin numbers lost in the process (The VIN on my 1982 is barely visible).
In this economy, and given the description of the boat, and assuming that the sails really are in good shape and less than 10-15 years old., and that the engine runs, I would probably start out somewhere around $9,000 or so and see where it went from there.
By the way, the propane stove appears to be powered by propane torch type canisters and that is not a safe or legal marine propane stove. I would plan to replace it with a non-presurized alcohol to avoid the complications or retro fitting a legal propane system.
Good luck,
