Since ancient times, India has known atheists, but I have not heard of any agnostic person tlll in recent past. The idea of
agnosticism seems to have come to India from the west. This word therefore puzzles me. A theist afirms that yes, there
is a god in whom he believes. An atheist says that no, there is no god. Both of these are firm statements and each
person making these has something to say that is specific. However, the statement that "There is probably no god "
sounds hollow. It is as good as saying "There is probably some god." In either case, someone who says this, does not
appear to have much to say. If you have a 10% doubt that god may exist, you are an agnostic. It is the same if
you have 20% , 50% or 90% doubt. So where does agnosticism stand? Does it really mean anything? If an agnostic is
so much in un-resolvable doubt, should he declare himself as an agnostic, that is, a person not capable of resolving his
The usual excuse for such a doubt is that no one can be 100% sure of anything, but we are so sure of many things in life.
If we have doubt on any subject, we take pains to resolve our doubt. Is it so difficult to resolve a doubt on the existance
of god that it can never be resolved and so force a person to remain an agnostic for all his life? If this were so, there would
be no atheists in the world. Does the agnostic lack something that an atheist has? Or, does an atheist overstep a
limit of sound judgement?

Ouch! Faith is like that. OK, what I want is ... it all comes back to belief and faith. What I want is ... I'm going to the garden to think about this.
Theist = Faith-based Belief + Burden of proof
Agnostic Theist = Faith-based Belief
Gnostic Theist = Faith-based belief + Burden of proof
Atheist = Non-belief
Agnostic Atheist = Non-belief
Gnostic Atheist = Faith-based non-belief + Burden of Proof
I am an atheist (a position, it isn't an identity), because of logic, reason and critical thinking. I will not abandon or loop-hole; logic, reason and critical thinking in order to: " ...pretend conclusions are certain that are not demonstrated or demonstrable."
If an atheist does not believe god exists and has no burden of proof
why does gnostic atheist have a burden?
Because a gnostic atheist believes there is evidence of no god?
Greg, great example.
I watched Dawkins' debate with Archbishop Pell last night and I surely do miss Hitchens.
Monday 9 April, 2012.
A gnostic atheist thinks that there is definite evidence that there is no god. That puts them in the same camp as a gnostic theist. If they say there's evidence, they will be expected to produce it and submit it for scientific inquiry. For a scientific mind, agnosticism is the only way to go. There are things, like the sun going around the Earth, that we had observational evidence for. Then we came up with bigger and better ways of observing and found out that our previous observations were incorrect.
For me at least, the "agnostic" part of my atheist views have nothing to do with doubt. It has to do with having a logical margin of error that has to exist based on the fact I stated above. It is my opinion that knowledge is almost synonymous with fact. You can't say you "know" something if there isn't evidence to support it. If there isn't evidence you have to be willing to accept that you could be wrong. However, you can go outside and observe a threatening sky and say "It's gonna rain today". You know what the sky looks like when it rains, therefore, it's logical that you would think that. But you're not ALWAYS right. That's where the margin of error comes in. Science without a margin for error isn't science at all.
On feeling 'good'
Happiness: The marked lack of fear, pain, and harm.
Delusional Happiness: using something to mask existent fear, pain, and harm
Real Happiness: Finding comfort or contentedness in between the bouts of fear, pain, and harm, or perhaps in spite of them.
Well, you see, when one lives in perpetual fear, there is no peace. Peace, to me is happiness.
Delusional peace/happiness masks fear, pain and harm.
Real peace/happiness ... have you ever seen a dog that has been whipped? or a child that has been beaten? Have you seen their eyes? Have you noticed their jumps or withdrawal when an innocent movement occurs from another? It is one thing to understand one is in a safe place and still responds to motion or words in ways out of proportion to the safe event.
It does feel very very good! In my experience, agnostic suggests a certain fear of letting go that atheism does not. Liberation from that fear is a huge relief.
Annet, a soul mate here! I want the language to be able to reflect what I am thinking. Life force gets closer. The one I have been using, "energy", because energy, as defined by physics, implies activity, as an unseen but force acting upon time and space. It is not observable but is seen through its effects, such as Newton's falling apple.
"...seen through its effects,"
…which are quantifiable and qualifiable, and open to revision when new facts come to light, Newton was right, Einstein was right, neither with 100% certainty. Let's be happy that science is explicitly agnostic, …or we wouldn't be able to delve deeper into what gravity is and how it works.
Someone show me a non-agnostic-atheist-credible scientist, …I don't believe they exist.
"science is explicitly agnostic"
"Someone show me a non-agnostic-atheist-credible scientist, …I don't believe they exist."
I ran across this article when looking for Francis Collins:
"Sadly, it now appears that my old stomping grounds at University Hospitals has been thoroughly infiltrated with quackademic medicine, as evidenced by this clinical trial of reiki for psoriasis that's making the rounds of news services and the offering of acupuncture, reiki, and even reflexology at various UH facilities through the University Hospitals Connor Integrative Medicine Network. Let me tell you, there was none of this pseudoscience going on when I finished my residency there in 1996. Seeing it there now provokes a reaction in me not unlike Sylvester Junior's reactionwhen his father Sylvester embarrasses him, particularly when I noted that the director of the CWRU Comprehensive Cancer Center, Dr. Stanton L. Gerson, was to give one of the keynote talks, entitled, "The Future of Integrative Oncology." (Hint for those of you not familiar with classic Looney Tunes cartoons: A paper bag is involved.) I guess that by expressing my extreme disappointment and embarrassment that the institution where I learned to become a surgeon has during the last 15 years gone woo, I've probably just killed any opportunity I might have to work at the Case Comprehensive Cancer Center ever again. Oh, well, add it to the list, along with Beth Israel and my alma mater the University of Michigan.)"
These are examples of "alternative medicine", not theism.
This is rational skepticism in action, not atheism.
This might clarify:
"non-agnostic/atheist-credible scientist"

You would be forgiven for being curious about the title of this article because even though Spain boasts some of the most unusual and bizarre festivals compared to the rest of the world, throwing tomatoes over each other as they do in Valencia or being chased down the street by a herd of bulls in Pamplona does not come close to the excitement aroused by the Baby Jumping Festival held each year in Castrillo de Murcia near Burgos.
Baby jumping (El Colacho) is a traditional Spanish practice dating back to 1620 that takes place annually to celebrate the Catholic feast of Corpus Christi in the village of Castrillo de Murcia near Burgos. During the act - known as El Salto del Colacho (the devil's jump) or simply El Colacho – men dressed as the Devil (known as the Colacho) jump over babies born during the previous twelve months of the year who lie on mattresses in the street.
Anyone who has a newborn addition to their family can bring their baby along to this festival. The festival itself is part of the celebrations held all over Spain for the Catholic festival of Corpus Christi and whilst at this particular time many other cities and towns have spectacular processions and a variety of other popular means of revelling and enjoying themselves, there is only one Baby Jumping Festival.
The festival is organized by the brotherhood of Santísimo Sacramento de Minerva, whose members assume the two main roles associated with the festival: those of el Colacho and el Atabalero. El Colacho, who represents the devil, is dressed in a bright yellow and red outfit and mask, and el Atabalero wears a black suit and a sombrero and goes through the town with his large drum.
Beginning on the Wednesday before the festival, the two characters cavort around the town chasing people, terrorizing them with their whips and truncheons and generally causing trouble.
The most important day of the festival comes on Sunday, when a parade winds though the city, beginning and ending at the town church. The town's residents adorn their houses with flowers and set out small "altars" with wine and water for the parade-goers. Members of the clergy and children from the town who have received the rite of First Communion march in the parade.
Overall, the festival entails an annual purging of evil from the town. The parade symbolically corrals the evil back toward the church, where it can be dissipated
The babies are laid on the ground in swaddling clothes and grown men, yes adult males, dressed as devils jump over the infants and this is supposed to cleanse them of all evil doings. The question of who is protecting the babies from the example being set by the adults begs to be asked but who are we to doubt this traditional combination of religion and Spanish folklore which proves to be great fun, if not a little scary, to watch.
Anyone who is not blessed with receiving this protection during their early childhood and has lived life looking over their shoulder waiting for bad things to happen or illness to strike can, in their adulthood, choose to take part in an exercise of jumping through fire on 21st December in Granada, known as the Hogueras. This is intended to protect them from illness
Pope Benedict has asked priests in Spain to distance themselves from the El Colacho, or La Octava Festival.

I am in North Carolina on vacation this week. My husband and I have been enjoying leisure time fishing, exploring, and watching the sun set over the mountains. Vacation time is important to me, and even though I am a full-time student and our income is drastically reduced, I would not go without it.
I can't tell you if this is because of having been threatened by breast cancer, or because of the change in attitude towards life I experienced when my dad died. It was after his death that I realized that life was for the living, that when it was over it was over, and all the things you wanted to do wouldn't get done.
My dad didn't live for tomorrow. He enjoyed each day as it came. He was the most patient, content person you could ever meet. When he was in the hospital before his death, he was so completely content with his life — except for wanting to be around to ring in the New Year on the eve of the millennium (which was 3 years after his death). His death prompted me to be more like him and to do all the things I wanted to each day as it came. Breast cancer just reminded me to stay on that path because my life was precarious.
What prevents us from doing what we want are usually finances, fear, and circumstance. We always know what we would like to do, but we choose what is convenient and easy. Fear of failure and the unknown are the two enemies of life. When you get a breast cancer diagnosis, those fears are intensified and it is all too easy to circle the wagons and hide. I experienced this for a while. I wanted my family close and my life without complications. I wanted to stay close to home because I thought I could protect myself and family from cancer. It took a while for me to get on with the real joy of living.
I understand all the emotions and fears that come with a breast cancer diagnosis. It is hard to battle cancer and these fears at the same time — in fact it is exhausting and almost impossible. Life goes on, though, and for most of us it goes on long after the battle has ended. There comes a turning point when you are no longer fighting or hiding and you start living. Trust me, that time will come; when it does, embrace it and start living out every day doing exactly what you want to do. Have dinner with friends, go to a movie, sit in a park, run on the beach, or read a good book. Don't put it off, because today is here only once.
Sitting in the mountains of North Carolina provides a lot of time for reflection. I just thought it would be nice to share mine with you.

Farro (FAHR-oh) is all the rage lately. You've probably run across it in restaurants, on the internet, or in one of your favorite contemporary cookbooks. It's not hard to see why people love it so much: farro is chewy, versatile, and higher in protein than some other grains (7 grams of protein per 1/4 cup dry grain—this is slightly more than the protein in a serving of quinoa), which may mean it helps you to stay sated longer. It's delicious as a breakfast cereal, handy for tossing into salads, and, though I haven't tried it, it would make quite a fun addition to a rustic vegetable soup, too.
Farro happens to be one of the oldest cultivated grains on the planet. Eight major "founder crops"—so called because so many of our contemporary staple crops are derived from them—are thought to have sprung from the Fertile Crescent, a region that contained parts of Western Asia, as well as the Nile Valley and Nile Delta of northeast Africa, around 7000 B.C. They include emmer wheat (triticum dicoccum, an ancestor of the durum wheat we use in breads and cereals today), einkorn wheat (Triticum monococcum), flax, peas, lentils, chickpeas, and barley. In Italy, the name "farro" may be given to three ancient wheat species, emmer, einkorn, and spelt (Triticum spelta), but experts seem to agree that true farro comes from emmer wheat. So farro has been a part of human history for millenia, sustaining us with protein, fiber, and iron (12% of the RDA per serving).
Historical trivia aside, farro is easy to prepare and oh-so-fun to chew. I now prefer it to barley and wheatberries, which are my other favorite "chewy" grains. Since I enjoyed it at Eat a few weeks ago and then created my own version of a farro and beet salad, I've been a little bit obsessed with the stuff. Today, as part of a Food52 post on the beauty of whole grains, I'm featuring an exquisite farro dish with savory leeks and balsamic roasted brussels sprouts. It's flavorful, wintery, and full of texture.
No matter how many times we hear about how whole grains are packed with fiber, and associated with reduced risk of numerous chronic diseases, many home cooks remain a little intimidated by cooking whole grains. Today on Food52, I share tips for storing, selecting, cooking, and seasoning whole grain dishes. For the recipe and the information, click over now!

This post was originally written for the Likeminds blog. More about them here, and check out their Creativity and Curation event down in Exeter, UK, 28/29th October.
Don't get me wrong. We've argued long and hard here in favour of brands embracing new behaviours if they're to drive real cultural and commercial impact. To invite participation; to get out there and allow their customers in. And in terms of audience appetite for this, we've even gone as far as to question whether Jakob Nielsen's 90:9:1 rule – that states the vast majority of visitors to any website are only there to lurk – will hold water for much longer in this post last year.
We're going to continue arguing the case for new behaviour, not against. Nonetheless, there have been a couple of instances that have given us pause for thought recently.
First up, back in August this year, there was that letter from a guy named Brian, begging the marketing industry to stop pestering him to participate. Was it a spoof? Maybe. But we all shuddered and shared it, presumably because a small splinter of truth ran through it. Closer to home and on a related theme, it reminded us of Tim Geoghegan's (@timogeo) 2009 tragi-comic '360 degree campaign' wheel, which manages to point out both the excesses and the futility of what – in the wrong hands – becomes a circular box-ticking exercise (still) for too many agencies and clients:
Putting even gentle cynicism aside, in short we've been feeling uncomfortable, nudged into thinking harder about participation in particular.
Why? Primarily, I think, because we sense the marketing community at large appears to have reached a tipping point. The social web is still comparatively young, but in the face of eroding value elsewhere, marketers are flocking to it as if it's the promised land. As more and more brands pour onto Facebook, Twitter, knock-up a quick social game or crowdsource their next commercial, how many are *really* adding sustainable value? To paraphrase 37 signals – how many are boosting the signal, not just increasing the noise?
Just because a 'launch and leave' approach is increasingly ineffective, doesn't mean the opposite is immediately true of social or participative ideas. Being on Facebook doesn't automatically mean it's good. As more and more brands join an 'always on' world, we owe it to our audiences to think pretty hard about what we do, when and how.
Here's a round-up of some of the things we're learning:
1. As we're fond of saying: Be entertaining or be useful. Or be ignored. It's a simple premise: if a brand only talks about itself in a social space and doesn't stop to check you have something people want to listen to and get involved with… well, we doubt an audience will cause a big fuss and leave overnight. Unfortunately, it won't be that dramatic. A gradual exodus is more likely.
2. 365 is still a better number than 360. Better to concentrate on the eco-system of your idea, the relationship between activity on different platforms and also how it plays out over time in daily conversation, than worrying if it lives in every single channel, ticks every box.
3. Be yourself. It's nigh impossible to maintain a Potemkin Village-style facade if a brand is always on. Better to work out what you stand for and what you believe in, then find ways to reach communities you can exchange value with. It's near heretical to say it, but I'd argue a clearly defined set of values or beliefs are more essential to a brand than an organising thought or idea.
4. Short time-frame communications events are the 'new' campaigns. Think Burberry 3D globally integrated, social shows once a season and of course Old Spice: 186 videos produced in a 48 hour awesome binge of a Response campaign, then a gracious bowing out. Ditto Ben & Jerry's 100 fair trades. By definition you can't continuously maintain a 'spike' when activity is this intense. Nowadays it's about having an ongoing bedrock of conversational and transactional marketing in owned and earned media, with timely new releases that play a vital role in fuelling and broadening that interaction.
5. Look where you can provide difference. Nothing new here: if you offer exactly what everyone else offers in the same places, why would someone choose your brand? If you're getting stuck, look outside for external sources of inspiration. "Do interesting things, and interesting things happen to you" as our own John Hegarty says.
6. Don't declare the death of anything, unless it really doesn't have a pulse. I'm mindful of the recent upwards blip in discussions about display advertising's future, not least in Calle's post here. (As an aside, my favourite title for a post ever is "The Tragic Death of Practically Everything", hat tip Nick Bilton).
7. Look hard at the implications for organisational behaviour. A massive topic in its own right, but in short there really is no-where to hide. Managing conversations and producing digital outputs pushes *everyone* to face outwards; organisations to be open vs closed; to work in ways that are iterative and responsive; to understand speed is a competitive advantage. And finally, to leave our egos at the door and understand the need for excellent curation alongside creative and commercial vision.
Whilst this post may be about drawing breath for a second and deliberately evaluating the 'here and now', we're not thinking for a moment that there's any chance of turning back or slowing down. We're also sure these thoughts are just a start. What do you think? What have we missed?

Very good light side dish for a hot summer day. I used the thinnest attachment on my mandolin and it worked perfectly.

Yummy! The horseradish adds a nice kick to the veggies. Serve this with a chicken breast and you've got a great meal.
Feb 11, 2012
This recipe is much quicker than 25 minutes: I'd say 15 at the most. I had a little trouble finding the right tool to get the wide ribbons and found that a really fat carrot peeled a bit so it was flat yielded good results. The zucchini was much easier. I did not have horseradish on hand so just used a little horsey sauce instead. I also added lemon pepper seasoning. These were fantastic! Even my kids, who do not like cooked vegetables, liked them. I let some of them get a little crispy and sweet and that was great, too. A really beautiful, easy, tasty and healthy side dish.

We chose Digimax Dental Marketing as our new website provider based on personal recommendations from other clients, and by looking at sites they have created. Digimax understood our needs as an organisation. We did not want a "dental" website, we wanted a business website, based on our needs as a dental academy. Our website is large and complex, and Digimax offered us solutions that work simply and easily. Digimax are incredibly responsive and easy to work with. All the staff are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable, and go out of their way to assist. They respond quickly, and have solved the few issues that have arisen as we switched over to the brand new website.I would have no hesitation in recommending Digimax Dental Marketing. They are friendly, professional, easy to work with, and I look forward to a productive working relationship going forward into the future.

I started looking for a company to design the website for my dental practice at the start of the year, and price was my main concern at the time. I contacted plenty of companies and received a wide range of quotes, of which Digimax was actually very fairly priced. It was only when I really started looking into the quality of work produced by Digimax in comparison with other companies that I started to appreciate the value of working with a company who really understands dental marketing.From start to finish, the process has been flawless! Excellent communication and quality of work, really far more than expected.For a busy practitioner, it was so helpful to use the various systems they've created to make life easier, saving hours writing dozens of emails or speaking on the phone.All the members of the team I dealt with clearly communicated very well internally, so there was nothing that needed to be repeated on my end.Samuel, Ben and Neha were amazing throughout, and Shaz was clearly keeping an eye on things and provided valuable input.The end result is fantastic, and in the one week it's been live we've had some new patients already, and very positive comments from existing patients.I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Digimax to colleagues and friends (and already have!).

Attended the Instagram training today and thought it was brilliant! From the build up and prep in advance of the course to the day itself, everything was perfectly executed. Explanations were simply communicated, great back up resources and a wealth of knowledge imparted. I would highly recommend this day to anyone looking to grow their business or personal rep.

Digimax provide such a professional service. I have used them for our logo design as well as marketing advice. Their service is second to none and they really pay attention to detail, not to mention a quick turn around. I would highly recommend their service to anyone looking for unique logo designs and marketing support for their business. Thank you again!

Article in Category:Adult Nonfiction, and Category:Historical
Here are non-fiction accounts of past eras. Books about individual lives are placed in the Category:Biography
- The Worst Hard Time: The Untold Story of Those Who Survived the Great American Dust Bowl by Timothy Egan
- Pulitzer prize-winning reporter Egan tells the story of the settlement of the southern American plains, how a bill of goods called "dry land farming" was sold to those who came, and how despite the warnings of the cowboys and early explorers, the grassland of the plains, which had protected the soil in this land of desert like dryness for thousands of years, was plowed under in the space of a few years in the rush to capitalize on a boom in wheat prices. In 1929 wheat prices failed with the glut on the market, and then came the predictable long years of drought, when the unrestrained dust rose up and buried the debt ridden farms. Beautifully written history.
- The First Tycoon: The Epic Life of Cornelius Vanderbilt by T. J. Stiles
- "Commodore" Vanderbilt was notoriously tight-lipped, and many of the anecdotes of his life come from testimony during a heated litigation of his will. Stiles bypasses this poisoned well and concentrates instead on the ways by which a steamship and railroad operator helped to create the American corporate world and its financial base:
- "Like a ghost, the business enterprise departed the body of the individual proprietor and became a being in itself, a corporation with its own identity, its own character, its own personhood. Over the course of his career, Vanderbilt lived out the history of this abstraction, the invention of this imagined world." (p. 564)

Special feature from the
Farm Outlook Fall 2012
How were the farmers markets affected?
By Curt Fox
Send a link to a friend
[November 02, 2012]
The National Weather Service released many statistics about the
weather for 2012, and many were not good for the farming community
in Illinois.
According to the NWS:
The first eight months of 2012 were the hottest ever
recorded in the continental United States.
The summer period of June through August was the
third-hottest ever, and July 2012 was the hottest ever
recorded since record keeping began in 1895.
From June 1 until the end of August, rainfall was almost
10 inches less than in a typical year; and from the first of
the year, the deficit was over 13 inches.
The drought map of Illinois showed central Illinois
almost always in the severe drought category.
The farming community in Illinois is just finishing the harvest
of field corn and soybeans, and yields are down significantly from
previous years.
But, those we think of as traditional farmers, with their
GPS-guided tractors and huge combines tilling thousands of acres,
are only one part of the farming profession affected by this year's
extreme weather.
Hundreds of farmers in Illinois have small acreage on which they
grow fruits, vegetables, herbs and even cut flowers for the table.
Many of these farmers outlet their wares at farmers markets,
roadside stands and through community-supported agriculture
There are two farmers markets in Lincoln. The one in Scully Park
operates on Wednesdays and Saturdays from May through October.
Bryan Crump participates in the Lincoln market, as well as others
in central and northern Illinois. He sells a multitude of vegetables
from his farm near Carlock.
Irrigation was not an option for him, and the lack of water made
his vegetables smaller.
"My yields are down for the year, with the heat taking the worst
toll," Crump said.
However, due to a late-season rain, his harvest of squash and
onions was better than expected.
Ken Wilson of Waynesville began selling his produce at the
farmers market for the first time. He said that his entire sweet
corn crop had to be plowed under. His tomatoes and peppers were the
best crops of the year for him. With a smile, he said he will be
back next year.
Megan Boerma of Lincoln has worked out a sweet deal for her
garden. She gets water for her garden from a neighbor in exchange
for homemade bakery items, which she also sells at the farmers
"Because of the nearby water, it turned out that the bunnies and
bugs did the most damage to my veggies," she said.
A typical Friday for Boerma lasts into the wee hours of Saturday
morning, when you will find her in her kitchen. This is to ensure
that her bakery items are as fresh as possible for the Saturday
Susan Wachter of Wachter Farms, a 5-acre produce farm near
Lawndale, had much the same story to tell.
"I mowed down 14 batches of sweet corn, probably thousands of
ears, because the heat sterilized the pollen that is used to produce
the kernels," she said.
Wachter participates in the Lincoln Farmer's Market as well as
the Illinois Products Farmers' Market at the Illinois State
Fairgrounds on Thursdays.
Her green beans were way down, a result similar to the
experiences of others in the area surrounding Lincoln.
[to top of second column]
She does try a different technique, covering her entire plot with
a biodegradable black plastic covering through which the vegetables
grow. The result is that whatever moisture is in the ground stays
there, and the small amount of rain was funneled through the plastic
right to the root system of the plants.
Wachter's experiences were interesting this year. Her revenue was
down for the year, and the production that did occur was unique.
Vegetables grew faster, which led to some of the produce misshapen
from lying on the ground, and vegetables that have some sugar in
them were much sweeter.
The sweeter vegetables are similar to reports from peach growers
in southern Illinois and grape growers around the state. Peaches
were extra sweet this year, and vintners are looking forward to a
special year for their wine.
"My winter squash is hardy, and the rain from the hurricane saved
my tomatoes," Wachter added.
Hans Bishop, in his third year of growing organic vegetables on
10 acres at PrairiErth Farm, east of Atlanta, worked harder than
ever to get a crop ready for the Bloomington and Urbana farmers
markets. He also has a growing client list for his
community-supported agriculture program.
In a CSA program, a farmer presells his crop of fruits and
vegetables to customers who agree to buy a specified amount during
the growing season.
"My early crops were good -- those from late winter, early
spring," Bishop said. They included squash, lettuce, radishes,
carrots, beets and turnips.
Then, as the heat ramped up, the crops began to suffer.
Once a crop is harvested, that field is not used again until the
next season. Bishop plants cover crops on the recently harvested
plots so the soil is replenished. But the lack of rain and intense
summer heat damaged the cover crop.
Bishop said the heat was the main issue this year because it
caused sporadic germination of crops.
He did use a drip irrigation system to try to mitigate the
drought conditions, but it is not a perfect solution. The hoses in
the irrigation system have to be moved continually to cover all of
the crops that need water, and the small holes in the hoses that let
water trickle out tend to get plugged, requiring additional
attention to keep the system working. Also, the irrigation system
uses electricity to pump water from the well, creating an additional
Still, Bishop is upbeat about the season, recognizing that this
is an unusual year. His hard work, adaptive methods of growing
produce and the late-season rain saved his crop.
PrairiErth CSA customers always received their orders and were
understanding when he explained the trials of farming caused by the
2012 drought and heat and the impact on his crops.
When we visit the farmers markets and greet the smiling vendors
behind tables loaded with beautiful and seemingly bountiful produce,
it is important to remember that long hours and strenuous work in
the fields were necessary. This year's unusual weather produced the
additional burden of anxiety for farmers whose livelihood depends to
a great extent of the vagaries of Mother Nature.

Root vegetables such as turnip, beet, carrot and radish are mainstays of the cool-season garden.
Traditionally, the Midwestern vegetable garden was considered a three-season affair, bounded by the last spring frost and the first fall freeze. True, cool-season gardens were popular in the spring and the fall, but the idea of year-round vegetable production definitely raised eyebrows. Recently, however, proponents of season extension, such as Elliot Coleman, have increased awareness of the possibilities, and enthusiastic gardeners across the region are embracing four-season vegetable gardening.
Plan Ahead
The first step is to plan the late-season garden. Basically, vegetables may be divided into three categories: warm-season vegetables that are damaged by even light freezes, cool-season vegetables that tolerate light to moderate freezes, and those hardy vegetables that can tolerate even extreme-cold temperatures with some protection. While gardeners can protect warm-season vegetables such as tomato, pepper and eggplant from the first autumn frosts, at some point, the useful life of these vegetables will end. Thus, the late-season garden will focus on cool and cold-season vegetables that thrive under shorter days and lower temperatures.
Heavyweight row cover can provide protection from winter conditions. Note the wood lathe used to anchor the edges.
Planting Date
The planting date is a critical component of success with the late-season garden. In many cases cool- or cold-season vegetables must have a period of warmer temperatures during which seeds germinate and plants grow to a useable size. Take cole crops, for example. Broccoli and cabbage for the late garden are generally seeded in July, and the seedlings are transplanted into the garden in August. Even cold-season vegetables such as hardy salad greens and root vegetables are usually direct seeded in August and September. Growth of these vegetables slows or even stops when cold weather arrives, but if planted at the proper time, the vegetables are at the optimum stage for delicious harvests, in some cases with a little protection, for the remainder of the fall and winter.
This homemade high tunnel is constructed from a cattle panel fence covered with a single layer of plastic. The ends are closed during cold weather.
Protective Structures
While many cool- and cold-season vegetables will happily survive light frosts and produce in the open garden, a true four-season gardener relies on protective structures for winter-long harvests.
Row covers are sheets of breathable polypropylene fabric that provide temporary protection for plants and are placed over vegetables during cold weather of shorter duration. Choose heavyweight row covers (at least 1.5 ounces per square yard), and anchor the edges to hold the covers in place.
Serious winter gardeners can consider a passive solar greenhouse for winter production. Note the large black barrels of water, which trap solar energy during the day.
A low tunnel is constructed from row cover or plastic sheets, supported over the plants on a series of hoops. Low tunnels allow for plant survival and growth during extended cold periods. Low tunnels can stay in place for the duration of the winter, and crops are harvested from the side of the tunnel.
A cold frame is a bottomless structure put over plants, with a glass or clear plastic cover. The cover can be opened during the day time to allow ventilation. Cold frames are constructed from many materials, such as cinder blocks or dimension lumber. The cover is sloped to shed precipitation and faces south or southwest to capture sunlight during the shorter winter days.
Cold frames are constructed from a range of materials. Raise the cover to provide ventilation on sunny winter days.
The high tunnel or hoop house is a frame covered with one or two layers of clear plastic. Vents on the sides or ends can be rolled up to enable excess heat to escape during the daytime and rolled down at night to trap heat so that the environment around the plants is kept warmer. High tunnel kits are available, or do-it-yourself gardeners can construct high tunnels with a support structure and plastic sheeting.
Passive solar greenhouses are the ultimate in season extension, allowing for vegetable production in even the coldest weather without the use of artificial heating. These greenhouses rely on storage of solar energy during the day, often in a mass such as large barrels of water or a masonry wall, which is then released back into the greenhouse during the night. For best results, construct the greenhouse according to plans; sample plans are at aes.missouri.edu/bradford/education/solar-greenhouse/solar-greenhouse.php.

Windows Server 2008 Foundation Network Guide
Applies To: Windows Server 2008
A foundation network is a collection of network hardware, devices, and software that provides the core services for your organization's information technology (IT) needs.
A Windows Server foundation network provides you with many benefits, including the following.
Core protocols for network connectivity between computers and other Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) compatible devices. TCP/IP is a suite of standard protocols for connecting computers and building networks. TCP/IP is network protocol software provided with Microsoft® Windows® operating systems that implements and supports the TCP/IP protocol suite.
Automatic IP addressing with Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). Manual configuration of IP addresses on all computers on your network is time-consuming and less flexible than dynamically providing computers and other devices with IP address leases from a DHCP server.
Name resolution services, such as Domain Name System (DNS) and Windows Internet Name Service (WINS). DNS and WINS allow users, computers, applications, and services to find the IP addresses of computers and devices on the network using the network basic input/output system (NetBIOS) name or Fully Qualified Domain Name of the computer or device.
A forest, which is one or more Active Directory domains that share the same class and attribute definitions (schema), site and replication information (configuration), and forest-wide search capabilities (global catalog).
A forest root domain, which is the first domain created in a new forest. The Enterprise Admins and Schema Admins groups, which are forest-wide administrative groups, are located in the forest root domain. In addition, a forest root domain, as with other domains, is a collection of computer, user, and group objects that are defined by the administrator in Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS). These objects share a common directory database and security policies. They can also share security relationships with other domains if you add domains as your organization grows. The directory service also stores directory data and allows authorized computers, applications, and users to access the data.
A user and computer account database. The directory service provides a centralized user accounts database that allows you to create user and computer accounts for people and computers that are authorized to connect to your network and access network resources, such as applications, databases, shared files and folders, and printers.
A foundation network also allows you to scale your network as your organization grows and IT requirements change. For example, with a foundation network you can add domains, IP subnets, remote access services, wireless services, and other features and server roles provided by Windows Server® 2008 and Windows Vista®.
About this guide
You can download this guide from the Microsoft Download Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=105231.
This guide is designed for network and system administrators who are installing a new network or who want to create a domain-based network to replace a network that consists of workgroups. The deployment scenario provided in this guide is particularly useful if you foresee the need to add more services and features to your network in the future.
It is recommended that you review design and deployment guides for each of the technologies used in this deployment scenario to assist you in determining whether this guide provides the services and configuration that you need.
Network hardware requirements
To successfully deploy a foundation network, you must deploy network hardware, including the following:
Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, or Gigabyte Ethernet cabling
A hub, Layer 2 or 3 switch, router, or other device that performs the function of relaying network traffic between computers and devices.
Computers that meet the minimum hardware requirements for their respective client and server operating systems.
This guide depicts the use of four server computers. In some cases, such as on small networks, you can use fewer servers. For example, you can install DHCP and WINS on the same server rather than on separate servers.
What this guide does not provide
This guide does not provide instructions for deploying the following:
Network hardware, such as cabling, routers, switches, and hubs
Additional network resources, such as printers and file servers
Internet connectivity
Remote access
Wireless access
Client computer deployment
Client computers running Windows Vista and Windows XP are configured by default to receive IP address leases from the DHCP server. Therefore, no additional DHCP or Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) configuration of client computers is required.
Technology Overviews
The following sections provide brief overviews of the required and optional technologies used to create a foundation network.
Active Directory Domain Services
A directory is a hierarchical structure that stores information about objects on the network. A directory service, such as AD DS, provides the methods for storing directory data and making this data available to network users and administrators. For example, AD DS stores information about user accounts, such as names, passwords, phone numbers, and so on, and enables other authorized users on the same network to access this information.
DNS is a name resolution protocol for TCP/IP networks, such as the Internet or an organization network. A DNS server hosts the information that enables client computers to resolve easily recognized, alphanumeric DNS names to the IP addresses that computers use to communicate with each other.
DHCP is an IP standard for simplifying management of host IP configuration. The DHCP standard provides for the use of DHCP servers as a way to manage dynamic allocation of IP addresses and other related configuration details for DHCP-enabled clients on your network.
Every computer on a TCP/IP network must have an unique IP address. The IP address (together with its related subnet mask) identifies both the host computer and the subnet to which it is attached. When you move a computer to a different subnet, the IP address must be changed. DHCP allows you to dynamically assign an IP address to a client from a DHCP server IP address database on your local network.
For TCP/IP-based networks, DHCP reduces the complexity and amount of administrative work involved in reconfiguring computers.
WINS (optional)
While DNS is a required component of a foundation network, WINS is optional because, like DNS, it is a naming service. In some cases, you might not need both DNS and WINS, but older operating systems and applications might require WINS. For medium to small networks, WINS is extremely easy to install and manage, and it is not resource-intensive. If you are in doubt about whether you need WINS, you can test your network functionality without it and install it if needed.
WINS provides a distributed database for registering and querying dynamic mappings of NetBIOS names for computers and groups used on your network. WINS maps NetBIOS names to IP addresses and was designed to solve the problems arising from NetBIOS name resolution in routed environments. WINS is the best choice for NetBIOS name resolution in routed networks that use NetBIOS over TCP/IP.
NetBIOS names are used by earlier versions of Windows operating systems to identify and locate computers and other shared or grouped resources required to register or resolve names for use on the network.
NetBIOS names are a requirement for establishing networking services in earlier versions of Windows operating systems. Although the NetBIOS naming protocol can be used with network protocols other than TCP/IP (such as NetBEUI or IPX/SPX), WINS was designed specifically to support NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NetBT).
WINS simplifies the management of the NetBIOS namespace in TCP/IP-based networks.
NPS (optional)
Network Policy Server (NPS) allows you to centrally configure and manage network policies with the following three features: Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) server, RADIUS proxy, and Network Access Protection (NAP) policy server.
NPS is an optional component of a foundation network, but you should install NPS if any of the following are true:
You are planning to expand your network to include any remote access servers that are compatible with the RADIUS protocol, such as a computer running Windows Server 2008 and Routing and Remote Access service.
You plan to deploy NAP.
You plan to deploy 802.1X wired or wireless access.
TCP/IP in Windows Server 2008 is the following:
Networking software based on industry-standard networking protocols.
A routable, enterprise networking protocol that supports the connection of your Windows-based computer to both local area network (LAN) and wide area network (WAN) environments.
Core technologies and utilities for connecting your Windows-based computer with dissimilar systems for the purpose of sharing information.
A foundation for gaining access to global Internet services, such as the World Wide Web and File Transfer Protocol (FTP) servers.
A robust, scalable, cross-platform, client/server framework.
TCP/IP provides basic TCP/IP utilities that enable Windows-based computers to connect and share information with other Microsoft and non-Microsoft systems, including:
Windows Vista
Windows Server 2003 operating systems
Windows XP
Internet hosts
Apple Macintosh systems
IBM mainframes
UNIX systems
Open VMS systems
Network-ready printers, such as HP LaserJet series printers that use HP JetDirect cards

Hottest Thing in Industry (Jan, 1947)
There is a lot to love in this article: the giant Radarange microwave oven that is "smaller than a refrigerator" to the Speedy Weeny hot dog vending machine. I think my favorite however is the caption for the Speedy Weeny where they refer to a hot dog as a "fido". It's has a level of indirection worthy of Cockney Slang.
Hottest Thing in Industry
STOCKY John Bulkeley showed the world what a P-T boat could do to a jap warship and the United States Navy was sold solid on the little torpedo sling-shots.
Messages clattered from the Pacific to the Pentagon in those early days of the war with Japan: "Give us P-T boats," the Admirals cried.
War production chiefs swung into action. Orders, triple-stamped with the highest priorities, whirled through the topmost echelons and shot out to the shipyards. Builders rolled up their sleeves and went to work. The Navy waited impatiently.
Time passed, the Japs swallowed up, island after island in their seemingly inexorable sweep and again the admirals flashed Washington:
"Where are those P-T boats? For God's sake get them out here!"
Washington put the screws on the shipping men, the shipping men hammered at the builders, but the builders shrugged helplessly.
The bottleneck was plywood.
It took 16 hours for slow-heating steam platens to bind together the layers of birch veneer, and the delay resulted in production lags all down the line.
The builders appealed to the scientists. "Give us more heat," they pleaded—"more heat or quicker heat." And the scientists answered, "Why not try heating by radio frequency?"
Why not, indeed? Radio frequency heating was in its scientific swaddling clothes then, but many a child has grown to swift maturity in war years, so RF was tried.
And RF slashed the total curing time of plywood down to four minutes!
The log-jam was broken and swarms of P-T boats went scuttling out to the Pacific—while back home the RF heating process was vaulted into the front ranks of the industrial big time as manufacturers who wanted "more and quicker heat" harnessed it in their plants.
Industry's newest wonder boy is the hottest thing in the manufacturing field today. It has stuck out its tongue impudently at hitherto impossible tasks, and proceeded to do them with the calm confidence of youth.
It has helped create a vast variety of things ranging from the slot-machine hot dog—cooked in seconds while you wait—to impelling a near-revolution in all industries in which heat is an integral part of the manufacturing process.
Its achievements are manifold:
Item—It has cut the bulk reduction time of penicillin solutions from 24 hours to 30 minutes.
Item—It has reduced the curing time of foamex, rubber mattresses from six hours to four minutes.
Item—It has made it possible to thaw bulk frozen foods in one and a half minutes instead of 24 hours, thereby allowing bakers and other large users to keep their production schedules flexible from day to day.
Item—It has created foot-thick plywoods—as compared with the one-inch ones made the old way—and the result has the tensile strength of 45,000 pounds per square inch but is only half the weight of the light metal aluminum.
Item—It has telescoped the drying of rayon thread, formerly done by hot air, from four hours to three minutes. Item—It has solved the knotty problem of hardening gear surfaces beyond any danger of cracking while allowing the un-heated cores to retain toughness and elasticity.
There are many more.
RF heat is generated by equipment closely resembling the transmitting unit of a radio broadcasting station, with one major difference: instead of being coupled to an antenna for utilization of its power output, the power it generates is fed instead into the material which is to be heated.
All RF heating is done in one of two ways:
If the material requiring heat processing is a good electrical conductor, such as ferrous or non-ferrous metals, the heat is fed through an induction coil. And that's induction heating.
If the material is a non-conductor— plywood, paper, rubber, plastics, textiles —the feeding is done by a capacitor. That's dielectric heating.
In induction heating an induction coil is used to transfer energy to metallic material. This coil is usually just a few turns of water-cooled copper tubing electrically connected to a source of electronic power.
A button is pushed and high frequency alternating current flows through the inductor coil, setting up a magnetic field which permeates the metallic work material placed inside the coil for heating.
Now, electrical laws tell us that when a conductor is cut by moving lines of magnetic flux, a voltage is induced in it. Hence eddy currents flow around the rim of the metal to be heated, resistance is created, and the energy necessary to overcome this resistance appears in the form of heat.
Induction heating is swift and thorough and electrical engineers have perfect control at all times of the precise depth that the heat can penetrate any material. They can heat and harden objects to any desired depth and leave the rest comparatively cool and untouched.
This is possible because alternating currents can concentrate on the outside of a conductor. Thus when a high frequency is used, virtually all of the current crowds to the surface and heats only the "skin" of the workpiece. What's more, perfect results can be obtained continuously.
Dials are set on an automatic timing device mounted on a cabinet. When the correct hardening temperature is reached, the power automatically clicks off, the material is released ana drops into an oil or water bath for quenchirig.
Now take dielectric heating. It's done by means of a huge electrical sandwich—metal plates, or capacitors which carry the current, are the slices of bread, the non-conductors to be heated are the ham and cheese. As capacitor plate potentials change with rapid reversals of the applied RF voltage, the molecules of the material to be heated vibrate, first in one direction, then in the other. This molecular agitation, produces heat.
Thus the higher the applied alternating voltage and the higher its frequency, the more the molecules bounce around and the hotter becomes the filling of the sandwich. Therefore dielectric heating is done in the stratosphere of high frequencies, up in the millions of cycles a second instead of thousands as in induction heating.
Dielectric heating spreads heat evenly throughout the substance. There is no spottiness, no burning of the outside while the inside remains raw, and this is vital in plastic moulding, plywood binding, textile drying and rubber curing. The result is flawlessly uniform because the molecules in the center of the material being heated are shaken back and forth by the alternating current just as hard and fast as those on the outside.
Just as uniform is the cooking of foods in the new Raytheon Radarange, an electronic range soon to be put on the market. A magnetron tube beams energy upon any food that is placed in an open "oven," and all the cook does is set a timer to the desired cooking time, then push a button. In a few seconds or minutes, at the expiration of the pre-set time, the unit shuts off and the food is ready for serving. The food is always cooked according to your setting of the timer. And it's always mighty good, too.
RF heating, which is starring in the reconversion program, is also starring in a 35-minute motion picture. Written and produced by George Blake for the Westinghouse Electric Corporation, it tells simply and clearly the role RF is playing these days to make industry turn handsprings. Says bright young Mr. Blake: "RF heating may not be a Van Johnson, but he's just as hot in his own little way."

The Accounting Historians Journal
Vol. 13, No. 2
Fall 1986
John Freear UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
Abstract: In January, 1900, Henry I'Anson applied, successfully, for the position of accountant at a rubber plantation in Bolivia. He and his Wife journeyed there by steamship, steam launch, and canoe, to find a less than hospitable welcome. I'Anson's professionalism was offended by the condition of the plantation's ac-counts, and he was disconcerted by the prices he was charged for food. He com-plained, was insulted, threatened, and, finally, he and his wife were obliged to re-turn to England. There, he found that he had been dismissed. This article is based wholly on his undated statement made in connection with a lawsuit he took out against his former employers.
Henry I'Anson's Bolivian adventure began in London in January, 1900, when he read an advertisement in the Daily Telegraph. A Bolivian rubber-producing firm sought an accountant "with a good knowledge of South America" to replace the existing accountant at their principal rubber plantation at Cachuela Esperanza,1 De-partment of Beni, Bolivia. What follows is taken from an undated statement (presumed to have been made in early 1901) by Henry I'Anson in pursuit of a claim for damages against that firm, Suarez & Co. All the quotations in this article are taken from I'Anson's statement, which came to light amongst the personal effects of one of his descendants, some eight decades after the events de-scribed here had occurred.
The narrative is incomplete, as I do not have the defendants' statement, nor have I been able to discover the final outcome of the suit. Yet, in Henry I'Anson's statement, expressed in matter-of-fact language, we do have an unusual, and first-hand, account of the intrepidity of a late Victorian accountant and his wife, in the face of disappointment, discomfort, disease and financial distress.
The Interviews
In January 1900, Henry I'Anson visited the London offices of Suarez & Co., which had advertised for an accountant, to seek
