Lettris is a curious tetris-clone game where all the bricks have the same square shape but different content. Each square carries a letter. To make squares disappear and save space for other squares you have to assemble English words (left, right, up, down) from the falling squares.
Boggle gives you 3 minutes to find as many words (3 letters or more) as you can in a grid of 16 letters. You can also try the grid of 16 letters. Letters must be adjacent and longer words score better. See if you can get into the grid Hall of Fame !

Naomi Trammel discusses the work hours and pay in the spinning room.
Well, what time of day would you get up to start work in the morning, when you were working there in the spinning room?NAOMI SIZEMORE TRAMMEL:
Well, we'd go early, I really don't know what time it was. But, anyway, we'd have to go early, and we worked one hour longer than people do now, in the mill. I don't know why, but they did. And it paid off in five dollar gold pieces. I told them I wished I'd had sense enough to save some of them. [laughter]ALLEN TULLOS:
How often would you get paid?NAOMI SIZEMORE TRAMMEL:
Well, we'd have to work two weeks 'fore we got our pay. And 'bout my highest bill was nine dollars. For two weeks! Worked in the cloth room sixty cents a day. It big money!ALLEN TULLOS:
How long did you work in the spinning room there, when you first started?NAOMI SIZEMORE TRAMMEL:
I worked on up till I got grown, and then I went to the cloth room.ALLEN TULLOS:
This was all at the Victor Mill?NAOMI SIZEMORE TRAMMEL:
Victor Mill, that's all at Victor Mill. That's where I went, you know, when Pa and Ma died.ALLEN TULLOS:
Well, when you were on your job in the spinning room when you were just starting out, did someone teach youNAOMI SIZEMORE TRAMMEL:
Oh, yeah, they had to show us how, 'cause I'd never been in a mill. They had to learn us. But didn't take me long to learn.ALLEN TULLOS:
Who taught you?NAOMI SIZEMORE TRAMMEL:
Just some of them would be a spinner, you know, they'd put us with one of the spinners and they'd show us how. That's all they had to do.ALLEN TULLOS:
Was it mostly girls or women?NAOMI SIZEMORE TRAMMEL:
Yeah, they girls, mostly. No, it mostly children. I mean, big enough to spin. It was easy to learn, all we had to do just put that bobbin in there, and put it up.

As reviewed by Otis on 8/28/2010I have used big stubbys in 1 & 2mm for about 3 years now, basically since I started playing bass. With my stock strings the 2mm gave me the deepest sound with no flex in the pick, also the thicker picks tend to be easier to hold without cramping of the knuckles. With some strings they can be a little excessively noisy though, really pingy that you can easily hear in the amp's sound. Overall, at least for bass they are good picks, really fast, though if you are like me and tend to sweat alot during play, they can get a little slick and tend to spin on you. Using the triangle pick with its increase size, tends to eliminate the issue a little bit because you have more to hold on to. Another slight issue is harsher bass strings can tend to eat these things up and spits dust all over your bass. The poly-carbonite material these are made out of doesnt self polish like some other picks seem to, you will notice a discolored/rough patch on the edge and a whitish powder under your strings. Synopsis: good sound on stock strings (on my Ibanez 305SG at least), nice fast play with little flex, good size and thickness. Bad: A little slick which the factory could fix with deeper grips, and a bit messy/noisy with certain strings, though a good pre-filter might be able to get rid of the ping

Patricia Fargnoli [April 2006]
New Hampshire Poet Laureate
White Sea by Cleopatra Mathis (Sarabande Books, 2005). This stunning 40 poem book by one of New Hampshire's best poets swings from poems rich with the landscapes of the poet's southern childhood to those rich with oceanscapes of outer Cape Cod. Fiercely beautiful and often elegiac, what I like best about them is the way they dare to explore the meaning and location of the soul even in face of the mortality of the body. This is one of the two best books of poems I've read in the last year.

Residents Meet Team Hoyt at Book Signing
Adults, children, runners and non-runners lined up to meet Dick and Rick Hoyt, the inspiring father and son team know as Team Hoyt, at their book signing event on Saturday January 26.
The Hoyts were in Hopkinton at the Red Barn Café at Colella's Supermarket to promote three books that tell their story, the most recent one called One Letter at Time written by Rick Hoyt. Dick Hoyt spent the morning talking to fans and signing books and posing for photos with his son Rick.
Erica Brown, a reporter for the Hopkinton Independent made a special trip to meet the Hoyts after having interviewed Dick for a story about the bronze statue of Team Hoyt that that will be placed on the Center School lawn.
26.2 Foundation President Michael Neece presented the Hoyts with a copy of a painting by his son Dustin, who painted the Hoyts to commemorate the running of their 30th Boston Marathon. And Susan Marshall of the Hopkinton Public Library obtained signatures for a book spine that will be incorporated into the heritage quilt to help support the library expansion.
"We are so excited because today we actually got the signatures of Rick and Dick Hoyt to put on a spine for the library Heritage Quilt, and the exciting part is they have written three books, we do this for authors, and what better authors can we have than Rick and Dick Hoyt and to have them right here in Hopkinton. We can't wait to put it into the quilt itself", said Marshall."
Dale Danahy and her daughter Kelly presented Rick Hoyt with a birthday cake which was shared with those attending the book signing and another small chocolate cake just for Rick who recently celebrated his 51st birthday.
All in all, it was a fun filled morning and a chance for residents to meet and support Dick and Rick Hoyt who said that it was great to be in Hopkinton.
"It's really great to be in here in Hopkinton," said Dick Hoyt. "All the people here are so great to us. We look forward every year to coming down to Hopkinton and this coming April is going to be our 31st Boston Marathon and it's just going to be so great to see that statue out there. I'd just like to thank everoone from Hopkinton; they're really great people, and in fact, I think we think we should probably buy a house here."
In addition to the Boston Marathon in April, the Hoyts will be back in Hopkinton on April 8th for the unveiling of the statue at Center School. They will also be visiting the Middle school on Friday, February 1st to speak at an assembly and they'll be back again to speak on April 4th at an event sponsored by the HPTA.

If you want to watch the houseguests 24/7 you have to turn on your Big Brother Live Feeds. If you don't already have the feeds, you need start your free trial and watch the houseguests 24/7 and see the action as it happens.

Andy chose to go to the finale with GinaMarie
They jury voted 7-2 for Andy to win Big Brother 15
Follow @wlbb on Twitter and keep watching your 24/7 live feeds (start your free trial).
My prediction is GinaMarie could become the Final Head Of Household winner this coming Wednesday night and then she could evict Spencer from the compound by causing him to join the eight other members of the jury. I hope GinaMarie wins Big Brother 15 this Wednesday night by walking away with the $500,000 grand prize
September 16, 2013 at 3:04 pm -
If she is Andy wins 7-1, Aaron is her only friend!
September 16, 2013 at 4:01 pm -
Yes, and the ladies in the jury house say they're not voting for her like Candice, amanda , helen and I think even jessie. McCrae does what amanda says.
September 16, 2013 at 7:18 pm -
If they take Spencer to the final two he wins hands down IMO.

Descartes taught that an absolute difference of kind separates matter, as that which possesses extension, from spirit, as that which thinks. They not only have no character in common, but it is inconceivable that they should have any. On the assumption, that the attributes of the two were wholly different, it appeared to be a necessary consequence that the hypothetical causes of these attributes — their respective substances — must be totally different. Notably, in the matter of divisibility, since that which has no extension cannot be divisible, it seemed that the chose pensante, the soul, must be an indivisible entity.
Later philosophers, accepting this notion of the soul, were naturally much perplexed to understand how, if matter and spirit had nothing in common, they could act and react on one another. All the changes of matter being modes of motion, the difficulty of understanding how a moving extended material body was to affect a thinking thing which had no dimension, was as great as that involved in solving the problem of how to hit a nominative case with a stick. Hence, the successors of Descartes either found themselves obliged, with the Occasionalists, to call in the aid of the Deity, who was supposed to be a sort of go-between betwixt matter and spirit; or they had recourse, with Leibnitz, to the doctrine of preestablished harmony, which denied any influence of the body on the soul, or vice versâ, and compared matter and spirit to two clocks so accurately regulated to keep time with one another, that the one struck when ever the other pointed to the hour; or, with Berkeley, they abolished the "substance" of matter altogether, as a superfluity, though they failed to see that the same arguments equally justified the abolition of soul as another superfluity, and the reduction of the universe to a series of events or phenomena; or, finally, with Spinoza, to whom Berkeley makes a perilously close approach, they asserted the existence of only one substance, with two chief attributes, the one, thought, and the other, extension.
There remained only one possible position, which, had it been taken up earlier, might have saved an immensity of trouble; and that was to affirm that we do not, and cannot, know anything about the "substance" either of the thinking thing, or of the extended thing. And Hume's sound common sense led him to defend this thesis, which Locke had already foreshadowed, with respect to the question of the substance of the soul. Hume enunciates two opinions. The first is that the question itself is unintelligible, and therefore cannot receive any answer; the second is that the popular doctrine respecting the immateriality, simplicity, and indivisibility of a thinking substance is a "true atheism, and will serve to justify all those sentiments for which Spinoza is so universally infamous."
In support of the first opinion, Hume points out that it is impossible to attach any definite meaning to the word "substance" when employed for the hypothetical substratum of soul and matter. For if we define substance as that which may exist by itself, the definition does not distinguish the soul from perceptions. It is perfectly easy to conceive that states of consciousness are self-subsistent. And, if the substance of the soul is defined as that in which perceptions inhere, what is meant by the inherence? Is such inherence conceivable? If conceivable, what evidence is there of it? And what is the use of a substratum to things which, for anything we know to the contrary, are capable of existing by themselves?
Moreover, it may be added, supposing the soul has a substance, how do we know that it is different from the substance, which, on like grounds, must be supposed to underlie the qualities of matter?
Again, if it be said that our personal identity requires the assumption of a substance which remains the same while the accidents of perception shift and change, the question arises what is meant by personal identity?
"For my part," says Hume, "when I enter most intimately into what I call myself, I always stumble on some particular perception or other, of heat or cold, light or shade, love or hatred, pain or pleasure. I never can catch myself at any time without a perception, and never can observe anything but the perception. When my perceptions are removed for any time, as by sound sleep, so long am I insensible of myself, and may be truly said not to exist. And were all my perceptions removed by death, and I could neither think, nor feel, nor see, nor love, nor hate, after the dissolution of my body, I should be entirely annihilated, nor do I conceive what is further requisite to make me a perfect nonentity. If any one, upon serious and unprejudiced reflection, thinks he has a different notion of himself, I must confess I can reason no longer with him. All I can allow him is, that he may be in the right as well as I, and that we are essentially different in this particular. He may perhaps perceive something simple and continued which he calls himself, though I am certain there is no such principle in me.
"But setting aside some metaphysicians of this kind, I may venture to affirm of the rest of mankind, that they are nothing but a bundle or collection of different perceptions, which succeed one another with an inconceivable rapidity, and are in a perpetual flux and movement. . . . The mind is a kind of theatre, where several perceptions successively make their appearance, pass, repass, glide away, and mingle in an infinite variety of postures and situations. There is properly no simplicity in it at one time, nor identity in different, whatever natural propension we may have to imagine that simplicity and identity. The comparison of the theatre must not mislead us. They are the successive perceptions only that constitute the mind; nor have we the most distant notion of the place where these scenes are represented, or of the materials of which it is composed.
"What then gives so great a propension to ascribe an identity to these successive perceptions, and to suppose ourselves possessed of an invariable and uninterrupted existence through the whole course of our lives? In order to answer this question, we must distinguish between personal identity as it regards our thought and imagination, and as it regards our passions, or the concern we take in ourselves. The first is our present subject; and to explain it perfectly we must take the matter pretty deep, and account for that identity which we attribute to plants and animals; there being a great analogy betwixt it and the identity of a self or person."—(I. pp. 321, 322.)
Perfect identity is exhibited by an object which remains unchanged throughout a certain time; perfect diversity is seen in two or more objects which are separated by intervals of space and periods of time. But, in both these cases, there is no sharp line of demarcation between identity and diversity, and it is impossible to say when an object ceases to be one and becomes two.
When a sea-anemone multiplies by division, there is a time during which it is said to be one animal partially divided; but, after a while, it becomes two animals adherent together, and the limit between these conditions is purely arbitrary. So in mineralogy, a crystal of a definite chemical composition may have its substance replaced, particle by particle, by another chemical compound. When does it lose its primitive identity and become a new thing?
Again, a plant or an animal, in the course of its existence, from the condition of an egg or seed to the end of life, remains the same neither in form, nor in structure, nor in the matter of which it is composed: every attribute it possesses is constantly changing, and yet we say that it is always one and the same individual. And if, in this case, we attribute identity without supposing an indivisible immaterial something to underlie and condition that identity, why should we need the supposition in the case of that succession of changeful phenomena we call the mind?
In fact, we ascribe identity to an individual plant or animal, simply because there has been no moment of time at which we could observe any division of it into parts separated by time or space. Every experience we have of it is as one thing and not as two; and we sum up our experiences in the ascription of identity, although we know quite well that, strictly speaking, it has not been the same for any two moments.
So with the mind. Our perceptions flow in even succession; the impressions of the present moment are inextricably mixed up with the memories of yesterday and the expectations of tomorrow, and all are connected by the links of cause and effect.
" . . . as the same individual republic may not only change its members, but also its laws and constitutions; in like manner the same person may vary his character and disposition, as well as his impressions and ideas, without losing his identity. Whatever changes he endures, his several parts are still connected by the relation of causation. And in this view our identity with regard to the passions serves to corroborate that with regard to the imagination, by the making our distant perceptions influence each other, and by giving us a present concern for our past or future pains or pleasures.
"As memory alone acquaints us with the continuance and extent of this succession of perceptions, 'tis to be considered, upon that account chiefly, as the source of personal identity. Had we no memory we never should have any notion of causation, nor consequently of that chain of causes and effects which constitute our self or person. But having once acquired this notion of causation from the memory, we can extend the same chain of causes, and consequently the identity of our persons, beyond our memory, and can comprehend times, and circumstances, and actions, which we have entirely forgot, but suppose in general to have existed. For how few of our past actions are there of which we have any memory? Who can tell me, for instance, what were his thoughts and actions on the first of January, 1715, the eleventh of March, 1719, and the third of August, 1733? Or will he affirm, because he has entirely forgot the incidents of those days, that the present self is not the same person with the self of that time, and by that means overturn all the most established notions of personal identity? In this view, therefore, memory does not so much produce as discover personal identity, by showing us the relation of cause and effect among our different perceptions. 'Twill be incumbent on those who affirm that memory produces entirely our personal identity, to give a reason why we can thus extend our identity beyond our memory.
"The whole of this doctrine leads us to a conclusion which is of great importance in the present affair, viz. that all the nice and subtle questions concerning personal identity can never possibly be decided, and are to be regarded rather as grammatical than as philosophical difficulties. Identity depends on the relations of ideas, and these relations produce identity by means of that easy transition they occasion. But as the relations, and the easiness of the transition may diminish by insensible degrees, we have no just standard by which we can decide any dispute concerning the time when they acquire or lose a title to the name of identity. All the disputes concerning the identity of connected objects are merely verbal, except so far as the relation of parts gives rise to some fiction or imaginary principle of union, as we have already observed.
"What I have said concerning the first origin and uncertainty of our notion of identity, as applied to the human mind may be extended, with little or no variation, to that of simplicity. An object, whose different coexistent parts are bound together by a close relation, operates upon the imagination after much the same manner as one perfectly simple and undivisible, and requires not a much greater stretch of thought in order to its conception. From this similarity of operation we attribute a simplicity to it, and feign a principle of union as the support of this simplicity, and the centre of all the different parts and qualities of the object."—(I. pp. 331–3.)
The final result of Hume's reasoning comes to this: As we use the name of body for the sum of the phenomena which make up our corporeal existence, so we employ the name of soul for the sum of the phenomena which constitute our mental existence; and we have no more reason, in the latter case, than in the former, to suppose that there is anything beyond the phenomena which answers to the name. In the case of the soul, as in that of the body, the idea of substance is a mere fiction of the imagination. This conclusion is nothing but a rigorous application of Berkeley's reasoning concerning matter to mind, and it is fully adopted by Kant.35
Having arrived at the conclusion that the conception of a soul, as a substantive thing, is a mere figment of the imagination; and that, whether it exists or not, we can by no possibility know anything about it, the inquiry as to the durability of the soul may seem superfluous.
Nevertheless, there is still a sense in which, even under these conditions, such an inquiry is justifiable. Leaving aside the problem of the substance of the soul, and taking the word "soul" simply as a name for the series of mental phenomena which make up an individual mind; it remains open to us to ask, whether that series commenced with, or before, the series of phenomena which constitute the corresponding individual body; and whether it terminates with the end of the corporeal series, or goes on after the existence of the body has ended. And, in both cases, there arises the further question, whether the excess of duration of the mental series over that of the body, is finite or infinite.
Hume has discussed some of these questions in the remarkable essay On the Immortality of the Soul, which was not published till after his death, and which seems long to have remained but little known. Nevertheless, indeed, possibly, for that reason, its influence has been manifested in unexpected quarters, and its main arguments have been adduced by archiepiscopal and episcopal authority in evidence of the value of revelation. Dr. Whately,36 sometime Archbishop of Dublin, paraphrases Hume, though he forgets to cite him; and Bishop Courtenay's elaborate work,37 dedicated to the Archbishop, is a development of that prelate's version of Hume's essay.
This little paper occupies only some ten pages, but it is not wonderful that it attracted an acute logician like Whately, for it is a model of clear and vigorous statement. The argument hardly admits of condensation, so that I must let Hume speak for himself:—
"By the mere light of reason it seems difficult to prove the immortality of the soul: the arguments for it are commonly derived either from metaphysical topics, or moral, or physical. But in reality it is the gospel, and the gospel alone, that has brought life and immortality to light.38
"1. Metaphysical topics suppose that the soul is immaterial, and that 'tis impossible for thought to belong to a material substance.39 But just metaphysics teach us that the notion of substance is wholly confused and imperfect; and that we have no other idea of any substance, than as an aggregate of particular qualities inhering in an unknown something. Matter, therefore, and spirit, are at bottom equally unknown, and we cannot determine what qualities inhere in the one or in the other.40 They likewise teach us, that nothing can be decided a priori concerning any cause or effect; and that experience, being the only source of our judgments of this nature, we cannot know from any other principle, whether matter, by its structure or arrangement, may not be the cause of thought. Abstract reasonings cannot decide any question of fact or existence. But admitting a spiritual substance to be dispersed throughout the universe, like the ethereal fire of the Stoics, and to be the only inherent subject of thought, we have reason to conclude from analogy, that nature uses it after the manner she does the other substance, matter. She employs it as a kind of paste or clay; modifies it into a variety of forms or existences; dissolves after a time each modification, and from its substance erects a new form. As the same material substance may successively compose the bodies of all animals, the same spiritual substance may compose their minds: Their consciousness, or that system of thought which they formed during life, may be continually dissolved by death, and nothing interests them in the new modification. The most positive assertors of the mortality of the soul never denied the immortality of its substance; and that an immaterial substance, as well as a material, may lose its memory or consciousness, appears in part from experience, if the soul be immaterial. Seasoning from the common course of nature, and without supposing any new interposition of the Supreme Cause, which ought always to be excluded from philosophy, what is incorruptible must also be ingenerable. The soul, therefore, if immortal, existed before our birth, and if the former existence noways concerned us, neither will the latter. Animals undoubtedly feel, think, love, hate, will, and even reason, though in a more imperfect manner than men: Are their souls also immaterial and immortal?"41
Hume next proceeds to consider the moral arguments, and chiefly
" . . . those derived from the justice of God, which is supposed to be further interested in the future punishment of the vicious and reward of the virtuous."
But if by the justice of God we moan the same attribute which we call justice in ourselves, then why should either reward or punishment be extended beyond this life?42 Our sole means of knowing anything is the reasoning faculty which God has given us; and that reasoning faculty not only denies us any conception of a future state, but fails to furnish a single valid argument in favour of the belief that the mind will endure after the dissolution of the body.
" . . . If any purpose of nature be clear, we may affirm that the whole scope and intention of man's creation, so far as we can judge by natural reason, is limited to the present life."
To the argument that the powers of man are so much greater than the needs of this life require, that they suggest a future scene in which they can be employed, Hume replies:—
"If the reason of man gives him great superiority above other animals, his necessities are proportionably multiplied upon him; his whole time, his whole capacity, activity, courage, and passion, find sufficient employment in fencing against the miseries of his present condition; and frequently, nay, almost always, are too slender for the business assigned them. A pair of shoes, perhaps, was never yet wrought to the highest degree of perfection that commodity is capable of attaining; yet it is necessary, at least very useful, that there should be some politicians and moralists, even some geometers, poets and philosophers, among mankind. The powers of men are no more superior to their wants, considered merely in this life, than those of foxes and hares are, compared to their wants and to their period of existence. The inference from parity of reason is therefore obvious."
In short, Hume argues that, if the faculties with which we are endowed are unable to discover a future state, and if the most attentive consideration of their nature serves to show that they are adapted to this life and nothing more, it is surely inconsistent with any conception of justice that we should be dealt with, as if we had all along had a clear knowledge of the fact thus carefully concealed from us. What should we think of the justice of a father, who gave his son every reason to suppose that a trivial fault would only be visited by a box on the ear; and then, years afterwards, put him on the rack for a week for the same fault?
Again, the suggestion arises, if God is the cause of all things, he is responsible for evil as well as for good; and it appears utterly irreconcilable with our notions of justice that he should punish another for that which he has, in fact, done himself. Moreover, just punishment bears a proportion to the offence, while suffering which is infinite is ipso facto disproportionate to any finite deed.
"Why then eternal punishment for the temporary offences of so frail a creature as man? Can any one approve of Alexander's rage, who intended to exterminate a whole nation because they had seized his favourite horse Bucephalus?
"Heaven and hell suppose two distinct species of men, the good and the bad; but the greatest part of mankind float betwixt vice and virtue. Were one to go round the world with the intention of giving a good supper to the righteous and a sound drubbing to the wicked, he would frequently be embarrassed in his choice, and would find the merits and demerits of most men and women scarcely amount to the value of either."43
One can but admire the broad humanity and the insight into the springs of action manifest in this passage. Comprendre est à moitié pardonner. The more one knows of the real conditions which determine men's acts the less one finds either to praise or blame. For kindly David Hume, "the damnation of one man is an infinitely greater evil in the universe than the subversion of a thousand million of kingdoms." And he would have felt with his countryman Burns, that even "auld Nickie Ben" should "hae a chance."
As against those who reason for the necessity of a future state, in order that the justice of the Deity may be satisfied, Hume's argumentation appears unanswerable. For if the justice of God resembles what we mean by justice, the bestowal of infinite happiness for finite well-doing and infinite misery for finite ill-doing, it is in no sense just. And, if the justice of God does not resemble what we mean by justice, it is an abuse of language to employ the name of justice for the attribute described by it. But, as against those who choose to argue that there is nothing in what is known to us of the attributes of the Deity inconsistent with a future state of rewards and punishments, Hume's pleadings have no force. Bishop Butler's argument that, inasmuch as the visitation of our acts by rewards and punishments takes place in this life, rewards and punishments must be consistent with the attributes of the Deity, and therefore may go on as long as the mind endures, is unanswerable. Whatever exists is, by the hypothesis, existent by the will of God; and, therefore, the pains and pleasures which exist now may go on existing for all eternity, either increasing, diminishing, or being endlessly varied in their intensity, as they are now.
It is remarkable that Hume does not refer to the sentimental arguments for the immortality of the soul which are so much in vogue at the present day; and which are based upon our desire for a longer conscious existence than that which nature appears to have allotted to us. Perhaps he did not think them worth notice. For indeed it is not a little strange, that our strong desire that a certain occurrence should happen should be put forward as evidence that it will happen. If my intense desire to see the friend, from whom I have parted, does not bring him from the other side of the world, or take me thither; if the mother's agonised prayer that her child should live has not prevented him from dying; experience certainly affords no presumption that the strong desire to be alive after death, which we call the aspiration after immortality, is any more likely to be gratified. As Hume truly says, "All doctrines are to be suspected which are favoured by our passions;" and the doctrine, that we are immortal because we should extremely like to be so, contains the quintessence of suspiciousness.
In respect of the existence and attributes of the soul, as of those of the Deity, then, logic is powerless and reason silent. At the most we can get no further than the conclusion of Kant:—
"After we have satisfied ourselves of the vanity of all the ambitious attempts of reason to fly beyond the bounds of experience, enough remains of practical value to content us. It is true that no one may boast that he knows that God and a future life exist; for, if he possesses such knowledge, he is just the man for whom I have long been seeking. All knowledge (touching an object of mere reason) can be communicated, and therefore I might hope to see my own knowledge increased to this prodigious extent, by his instruction. No; our conviction in these matters is not logical, but moral certainty; and, inasmuch as it rests upon subjective grounds, (of moral disposition) I must not even say: it is morally certain that there is a God, and so on; but, I am morally certain, and so on. That is to say: the belief in a God and in another world is so interwoven with my moral nature, that the former can no more vanish, than the latter can ever be torn from me.
"The only point to be remarked here is that this act of faith of the intellect (Vernunftglaube) assumes the existence of moral dispositions. If we leave them aside, and suppose a mind quite indifferent to moral laws, the inquiry started by reason becomes merely a subject for speculation; and [the conclusion attained] may then indeed be supported by strong arguments from analogy, but not by such as are competent to overcome persistent scepticism.
"There is no one, however, who can fail to be interested in these questions. For, although he may be excluded from moral influences by the want of a good disposition, yet, even in this case, enough remains to lead him to fear a divine existence and a future state. To this end, no more is necessary than that he can at least have no certainty that there is no such being, and no future life; for, to make this conclusion demonstratively certain, he must be able to prove the impossibility of both; and this assuredly no rational man can undertake to do. This negative belief, indeed, cannot produce either morality or good dispositions, but can operate in an analogous fashion, by powerfully repressing the outbreak of evil tendencies.
"But it will be said, is this all that Pure Reason can do when it gazes out beyond the bounds of experience? Nothing more than two articles of faith? Common sense could achieve as much without calling the philosophers to its counsels!
"I will not here speak of the service which philosophy has rendered to human reason by the laborious efforts of its criticism, granting that the outcome proves to be merely negative: about that matter something is to be said in the following section. But do you then ask, that the knowledge which interests all men shall transcend the common understanding and be discovered for you only by philosophers? The very thing which you make a reproach, is the best confirmation of the justice of the previous conclusions, since it shows that which could not, at first, have been anticipated: namely, that in those matters which concern all men alike, nature is not guilty of distributing her gifts with partiality; and that the highest philosophy, in dealing with the most important concerns of humanity, is able to take us no further than the guidance which she affords to the commonest understanding."44
In short, nothing can be proved or disproved, respecting either the distinct existence, the substance, or the durability of the soul. So far, Kant is at one with Hume. But Kant adds, as you cannot disprove the immortality of the soul, and as the belief therein is very useful for moral purposes, you may assume it. To which, had Hume lived half a century later, he would probably have replied, that, if morality has no better foundation than an assumption, it is not likely to bear much strain; and, if it has a better foundation, the assumption rather weakens than strengthens it.
As has been already said, Hume is not content with denying that we know anything about the existence or the nature of the soul; but he carries the war into the enemy's camp, and accuses those who affirm the immateriality, simplicity, and indivisibility of the thinking substance, of atheism and Spinozism, which are assumed to be convertible terms.
The method of attack is ingenious. Observation appears to acquaint us with two different systems of beings, and both Spinoza and orthodox philosophers agree, that the necessary substratum of each of these is a substance, in which the phenomena adhere, or of which they are attributes or modes.
"I observe first the universe of objects or of body; the sun, moon, and stars; the earth, seas, plants, animals, men, ships, houses, and other productions either of art or of nature. Here Spinoza appears, and tells me that these are only modifications and that the subject in which they inhere is simple, uncompounded, and indivisible. After this I consider the other system of beings, viz. the universe of thought, or my impressions and ideas. Then I observe another sun, moon, and stars; an earth and seas, covered and inhabited by plants and animals, towns, houses, mountains, rivers; and, in short, everything I can discover or conceive in the first system. Upon my inquiring concerning these, theologians present themselves, and tell me that these also are modifications, and modifications of one simple, uncompounded, and indivisible substance. Immediately upon which I am deafened with the noise of a hundred voices, that treat the first hypothesis with detestation and scorn, and the second with applause and veneration. I turn my attention to these hypotheses to see what may be the reason of so great a partiality; and find that they have the same fault of being unintelligible, and that, as far as we can understand them, they are so much alike, that 'tis impossible to discover any absurdity in one, which is not common to both of them."—(I. p. 309.)
For the manner in which Hume makes his case good, I must refer to the original. Plain people may rest satisfied that both hypotheses are unintelligible, without plunging any further among syllogisms, the premisses of which convey no meaning, while the conclusions carry no conviction.
35 "Our internal intuition shows no permanent existence, for the Ego is only the consciousness of my thinking." "There is no means whatever by which we can learn anything respecting the constitution of the soul, so far as regards the possibility of its separate existence."—Kritik von den Paralogismen der reinen Vernunft.
36 Essays on Some of the Peculiarities of the Christian Religion, (Essay I. Revelation of a Future State), by Richard Whately, D.D., Archbishop of Dublin. Fifth Edition, revised, 1846.
37 The Future States: their Evidences and Nature; considered on Principles Physical, Moral, and Scriptural, with the Design of showing the Value of the Gospel Revelation by the Right Rev. Reginald Courtenay, D.D., Lord Bishop of Kingston (Jamaica), 1857.
38 "Now that 'Jesus Christ brought life and immortality to light through the Gospel,' and that in the most literal sense, which implies that the revelation of the doctrine is peculiar to His Gospel, seems to be at least the most obvious meaning of the Scriptures of the New Testament."— Whately, l.c. p. 27.
39 Compare, Of the Immateriality of the Soul, Section V. of Part IV., Book I., of the Treatise, in which Hume concludes (I. p. 319) that, whether it be material or immaterial, "in both cases the metaphysical arguments for the immortality of the soul are equally inconclusive; and in both cases the moral arguments and those derived from the analogy of nature are equally strong and convincing."
40 "The question again respecting the materiality of the soul is one which I am at a loss to understand clearly, till it shall have been clearly determined what matter is. We know nothing of it, any more than of mind, except its attributes."— Whately, l.c. p. 66.
41 "None of those who contend for the natural immortality of the soul . . . have been able to extricate themselves from one difficulty, viz. that all their arguments apply, with exactly the same force, to prove an immortality, not only of brutes, but even of plants; though in such a conclusion as this they are never willing to acquiesce."— Whately, l.c. p. 67.
42 "Nor are we therefore authorised to infer à priori, independent of Revelation, a future state of retribution, from the irregularities prevailing in the present life, since that future state does not account fully for these irregularities. It may explain, indeed, how present evil may be conducive to future good, but not why the good could not be attained without the evil; it may reconcile with our notions of the divine justice the present prosperity of the wicked, but it does not account for the existence of the wicked."— Whately, l.c. pp. 69, 70.
43 "So reason also shows, that for man to expect to earn for himself by the practice of virtue, and claim, as his just right, an immortality of exalted happiness, is a most extravagant and groundless pretension."— Whately, l.c. p. 101. On the other hand, however, the Archbishop sees no unreasonableness in a man's earning for himself an immortality of intense unhappiness by the practice of vice. So that life is, naturally, a venture in which you may lose all, but can earn nothing. It may be thought somewhat hard upon mankind if they are pushed into a speculation of this sort, willy-nilly.
44 Kritik der reinen Vernunft. Ed. Hartenstein, p. 547.

Greetings, I live in North Bend so fishing the lake and hitting the hike up Rattlesnake Ridge and beyond is a quick easy option for me when I want to stretch my legs. I was returning to my truck today and found some douche bags breaking into it. My truck was parked in that first small overflow lot. One of them was doing the breaking, his @sshole friends were manning the getaway vehicle. The window on the extended cab was already broken and I witnessed him break the driver's side window. Naturally I shouted at them, I was maybe 100 feet away. He bolted back to the car and they had to jam it in reverse to get out of the lot since I was ready to dive thru the windshield if they pulled forward. Nothing of value was taken, I know how the game is played. Just sad to see the end of my streak of 20+ yrs of parking in way more remote areas and never having any trouble. They were driving an older Toyota Carolla WA lic # 062 YUM. I reported it to the sheriff, for all the good it will do. (Sheriff confirmed the plate # was legit) I know these things are hard to track down. Anyhoo, heads up out there if you see this vehicle. You have my permission to fire bomb it.
Sorry to hear of your unfortunate experience. A friend had some fishing gear ripped off last weekend. It's a sad reminder of the depths some people will sink to. K
I'm sorry to hear that. Nothing worse than a thief. You are a better man than me. I would not have shouted and immediately gone hands on. Hopefully the sheriff actually pursues them. Please let us know the outcome. I'd like to know how dedicated the law enforcement is.
Thanks for the heads-up and sorry this happened to you. I've not fished that lake in ages and this doesn't really make me want to start, but I guess break-ins can happen any time or place. Good on you for puttin' the scare in 'em and getting the license plate. Not that it matters much, but do you think lost meth heads (possibly being more willing to put up a fight when cornered) or just dumb kids?
I hate to see these guys skate....what color was the car...can you get the cops to tell you who the car is registered to? We have a lot of eyes that can help you find the car. I would love to see these guys in a cell. They are probably responsible for most of the breakins in the area.
I hiked up there a couple years ago. I must have counted 150 people or more that passed me as I was going up! A busy place for day-hikers from Seattle. Easy for some bad boys to stand there and watch as hikers head out. I'm wondering if leaving a note on your windshield before leaving that said something like, "Honey, be back in a minute" would deter some break-ins at some of these places. Just a crazy thought at the moment...
Thanks, I fish it 2-3x a week. Hope they catch them. I also hope they notify the employees that work the ground maintenance as they are usually out and about there during the day.
I've considered similar, like a sign that says there is nothing of value in this vehicle. But then I think some asshole would break the window just to be a POS. Best advice I've gotten yet is leave nothing in your car and the doors unlocked. Might want to invest in the club though if your ignition is older. Sad that I even have to weight these options just to park and fish. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD
Sorry for your luck. It's really frustrating that it is so hard to prevent it and that people target recreation areas. I hiked up to Lake Serene yesterday with a friend. We ran in to some really creepy shirtless guys on the trail, one of whom was carrying a machete. Needless to say they gave us the willies. We were the last people off the trail, and the two creeps rewarded my friend with a broken window and a stolen bag of clothes. I learned my lesson last fall when somebody broke into my car while I was fishing at Blue Stilly park. I was really stupid and left my wallet in the car, in plain sight. They broke 3 windows and stole about $300 worth of stuff. It was a cold ride back to Edmonds!
My rig got the smash and dash treatment here in Ellensburg earlier this year. Alarm went off and I was on it in 30 seconds and it was to late... not a trace of them. $1,500 worth FF stuff in a backpack. If not for the alarm it would have been much worse. The bummer was all the flies for me...
I'm a slow tyer so it will be ages till I replace all the flies. I can't imagine they'll get much for any of it but the new Patagonia pack?
I got tired of getting ripped off at park & rides,until a everett police officer filling out a crime report told me The everett police department sells a club like device for ten bucks. When I carpooled I would place the devise on my steering wheel unlocked & never had a problem ever again
That's good, if they don't break in to find the gun. A year or so back I read someone's suggestion to leave a tube of head lice cream on the dash. But that assumes they can or do read.
It would be a shame if people like these individuals had a mountaineering accident! Falling on boulders can be hazardous to one's health!
If a dozen car prowlers had the shit kicked out of them in the same summer, I wonder if word would get out. But not just beaten, beaten in such a way as to send a message. Hooks stuck in their face. Choked with Maxima. Long thin welts across their back that can only be made by wailing on someone with the bottom 2 sections of a rod. . I picture them having an organization. They have a newsletter, go to meetings etc. So if we can catch a few of them, and beat their asses, in the summer issue of The Dash (that's the newsletter) the safety committee chair writes an article advising against plying their trade near any bodies of water.

J.R.R. Tolkien
With the exception of possibly Charlotte's Web and the works of Roald Dahl, J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings were the first books I remember reading. Like the Star Wars trilogy, which obviously pilfered many of its plot points and much of its epic resonance from Tolkien's work, the tales of Middle Earth captured my imagination as a child. Both are sweeping tales of the clash of good and evil, of bands of heroes fighting insurmountable odds, and of lands populated with magic, monsters, and myth. That being said, Tolkien's work obviously deserves adult appreciation as well. As Tom Shippey has noted in his recent paean to Tolkien, the themes of Lord of the Rings are the same ones that have confronted the twentieth-century: the disappearance of the natural world in the face of industrialization, the seduction of technology and the banality of evil, and the capacity to find hope and fellowship in the darkest of times. Of the series, The Fellowship of the Ring, the first chapter in Frodo's quest, will always be my favorite, although the whole tale, from The Hobbit to The Return of the King, are clearly worth a few reads. (Not for nothing has actor Christopher Lee read the entire trilogy every year for the past thirty years.) As readers know, the sheer detail of Tolkien's Middle Earth is staggering. A professor of philology at Oxford, Tolkien not only created an amazing backlog of history of for his realm -- he even composed the languages for his peoples, complete with grammar, syntax, and vocabulary. Middle Earth was Tolkien's labor of love, and I, like readers around the globe, am indebted to his masterful fantasy epic. Unless you've been living in a (hobbit) hole (albeit one with Internet access), you already know that Peter Jackson, creator of Dead Alive and Heavenly Creatures, has recently completed a film trilogy of these classic books. Click here to see how they came out. Back to the Library. |

More On Legal & Compliance
from The Advisor's Professional Library- Do's and Don'ts of Advisory Contracts In preparation for a compliance exam, securities regulators typically will ask to see copies of an RIAs advisory agreements. An RIA must be able to produce requested contracts and the contracts must comply with applicable SEC or state rules.
- Dealings With Qualified Clients and Accredited Investors Depending upon an RIAs business model and investment strategies, it may be important to identify "qualified clients" and "accredited investors." The Dodd-Frank Act authorized the SEC to change which clients are defined by those terms.
Libor manipulation is rearing its ugly head again. In the latest infraction, UBS will pay $1 billion to settle allegations that it manipulated Libor, according to various reports.
The Financial Times and other publications reported Thursday that the news about UBS' settlement will likely be made public on Monday.
As it stands now, "up to 10 authorities around the world are investigating potential manipulation of the rate in a probe that has embroiled around 20 banks and interdealer brokers," the Financial Times reported. "The first arrests in the investigation were made this week by the U.K. authorities. One of the arrested men, Tom Hayes, used to work for UBS."
UBS' settlement is expected to involve four regulators, the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the U.K. Financial Services Authority and the Swiss regulator FINMA, which is UBS' primary supervisor, according to the Financial Times.
All four are expected to receive some sort of monetary settlement–although FINMA cannot extract fines, it can demand that companies give up ill-gotten gains, the Times reported.
A fine in excess of $1 billion would be more than double the record penalty paid by Barclays, which settled the authorities' Libor investigation in June by paying $450 million, the Times said.
The Financial Times reported that UBS "also won partial immunity from regulators by coming with information. The Swiss bank was one of the first to launch an internal investigation into the matter after authorities requested information in 2009."
The UBS settlement will shed a light on the "alleged manipulation of the yen-denominated Libor interest rate in particular," people close to the situation told the Times.
A $1 billion fine would cap a year that has seen UBS' compliance issues put under public scrutiny, including a rogue-trading incident that lost the bank $2.3 billion, the Financial Times reported. "The bank was fined nearly £30m last month by the FSA over the incident, while the trader at the heart of the scandal, Kweku Adoboli, was sentenced to seven years in prison for perpetrating the biggest bank fraud in British history."
