It's been a week or two................
since I said I would post the winner of the Front Porch Dessert Roll tomorrow.
The winner is Janice Fowler and her Dessert Roll shipped with her March Hare blocks.
Hope you enjoy it Janice. I really like this fabric line.
So why did it take so long to post?
First, I had to finish the patterns that will show at Spring Market.
My new fabric line is called Castlewood.
Here's a sneak peek of "Santa's Tree Farm" a pattern designed by myself and grandson Cullen.
As soon as the deadline was over........
I got the flu.
Only time in a couple of years and the worst was over in about 36 hours but that was long enough.
Then for 3-4 days I just wanted to sit around - no get-up-and-go.
So everything took about 3 times longer than normal.
I've mostly recovered now - enough to have Cullen and Quinn up for the weekend.
We made some great cupcakes - or I supervised (and helped with the eating part)
And they made them.
Then we all took a nap - - - - you notice that Dobby has a sock nearby :)
It's finally feeling and looking a little like spring.
To celebrate, we put Farmer's Market on sale - both the kit and the pattern.
As well as the Tulips and Leaves Kit. But hurry if you want the kit, we only have 2 left.
Here's a closeup of Lori's awesome quilting.
From now on I'll have to go visit my Uncle Fred & Aunt Grace if I want to see it.
My sister Nancy and I spent a wonderful week with them last summer at their home in California.
Tulips and Leaves reminds me so much of the colors and feel of their home that I'm giving it to them.
I hope they enjoy it.
And it gives me a chance to go visit again - both my Aunt and Uncle and my quilt! :)

text: New York is gaining new jobs, but not as fast as the rest of the country. A report from State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli says for the first time in six years, job growth in the Empire State has not kept up with the national average. The report says the Ithaca area has had the best job growth, but it says the Southern Tier in particular has lagged behind. New York added 110 thousand new jobs between last June and this June. The state unemployment rate in July was seven and a half percent, its lowest since 2009. Total employment over the last ten years is down six and a half percent in Binghamton and four percent in Elmira. It was up 12 percent in Ithaca.

North America gathering at Yellowstone, EPIC road trip 2013
Yellowstone and Grand Tetons Epic drive and meet 2013
First item: I have gotten some flak from people on the different forms for putting this on as well as asking people to only post if they were going or at least seriously interested. I am not being paid to do this nor am I asking for money. I am doing this because I love to drive and seem to be one of the few people out in the community willing to take on such a headache. All I ask is if you are going to post on this thread, please be serious about attending. Just posting to say "say not for me" or "to far" makes the thread long and does not add value. Thank you.
Second item: There is no way I can please everyone for this event and nor am I trying to do so. I have done my best to make an event that balances the areas I felt were important.
Dates of the event
June 24-28 - for meet and group activities. If you include driving to base camp it would be June 22nd - June 30th possibly depending on location you are starting from.
Base camp will be West Yellowstone. There is plenty of lodging, parking and activities for a hopefully big group. I will be working on group rates at the first of the year for everyone.
In an effort to help facilitate getting people in touch with each other to arrange caravans, I have made a form that I will use to populate a Google document. I am the only one who will see this as a FYI.
What will we be doing there?
We are in the oldest national park in the world so we will be seeing the sights and doing some walking around. In addition, a few others and I are trying to arrange some group photo shots at the parks attractions. I have included one day for just pure driving for those who are interested.
What will this cost me to go?
You will be responsible for fuel, lodging, food, park fees and anything else you might want to do. The only fee that is 100% for sure is the $25 for a 7 day pass which allows you to see both Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons.
If I get enough people interested, I could have some removable decals made to be placed on the side of the car to be like we are on a rally event. If you want me to look into these costs, let me know on the form above.
This sounds LAME!
I know some of you have posted you hated Yellowstone and would just do the Grand Teton or you just want to hall ass around all day seeing what your car can do. Sorry this is not the place to do that. The best explanation I can say why this is not lame is because you are going on a ROAD TRIP, which to me has always been a reason to go to places. This also is a continental wide event that hopefully will be the first of many more to come. Therefore, if you still think this is a lame idea then I wish you a safe summer in your adventures.
Currently I have four cars from Sacramento area 100% going. In addition, I know of a few in Montana that will be attending. This means we have about eight cars ranging from BMW, Audi, Ferrari and Lotus already attending.
If you wish to email me directly my email is email@example.com. Please make sure to let me know you are asking about Yellowstone as I organize many drives for the NorCal enthusiasts.
Here are some sample images of the visit my wife and I did in 2011 in our 2006 E90.
Drive to wyoming for another drive.. I like going to meets and cruises but this seems a little much
This is a road trip not just a meet. No one said you had to go, the idea is to take a longer drive than a local meet. I already know 98% of the people reading this will not go cause (reason) which is fine. However this is a idea to get a group to travel to some place people say hey lets go there but never do.
Just a update to all. I am working out the details for the event and welcome any suggestions or ideas. PM me with them and so i can review them all to finish building us a game plan.
you have a ferrari too?
Great thread. Thanks for the road trip info.
I'll be sure to visit there on my road trip through the states.
Why would you post 219 times on a ferrari forum if you don't have a ferrari? :hmm:
Sounds like a ton of fun! Just have to make sure there are some great drives mapped out over there. If I can get the time off I'll definitely try to come out.
Sounds like a great idea, OP. How much ballpark would this run? (lodging/campgrounds only)
Don't mind the trolls here. Obviously you've done quite well for yourself owning a 1M. These guys are just jelly.
I'm sure my cooling system is more than up to the task
And I'm bunking with DMAX. (If he goes)
As for cost, Fuel is a wild card so can't figure that one out for you. (depends on how heavy your right foot is ;-)
Hotels should be about 80-100 a night or less. I will be working on group rates to get the cost down for everyone. With multiple forums and my own car club, I hope to get enough interest to get us some steals as well as some park access that is normally not given.
Best I can give you know. As I work out details I will post them.
I'll leave right away so I'm not late!
My sister has camped in Yellowstone in the winter and says it's amazing there. Someday I'll have to go...and Mango, I'm afraid I'll have to make you a provisional bunky...I've done a lot of work here helping out our female fanatics and I just know that one or two of them will want to bunk with me. If there are three that just have to be with me, maybe we can work something out...but, you know, if they have to have me, I have to say I understand completely.
I've got a bit of experience and know some things that, well, let's just say...I know some things! :lmao:
Yellowstone, 2012.. not a good idea bro.
Sharing is caring!:eeps:
Maybe DMAX can sponsor me. you fly out to SoCal and we'll make the drive in my car. we'll stop every 500 miles to replace the entire cooling systems. So Dmax, i need you to order what? four complete cooling systems?
I have three complete cooling systems in my trunk already...but just two complete sets of suspension components. It's great traction for the Yellowstone winter!
Sounds awesome. But a drive from Miami,Fl would be a bit far. I would need a whole harem of women to be waiting ,spread eagle ,for my arrival. ;)

Unfinished business awaits Rosado at 154
Story by John DiSanto – PhillyBoxingHistory.com
Photos by Billy Briscoe
Gabriel Rosado, 21-7, 13 KOs, 1 ND, takes on undefeated Jermell Charlo Saturday night at the (Washington) DC Armory in a 10-round junior middleweight fight that offers the North Philly veteran a chance to go back to the days when a 154-pound championship looked like a foregone conclusion. That was before a rise in weight class and three big fights in 2013 all but brought the popular warrior to a dead end.
A victory against Charlo could put Rosado's career back on the rails and return him to the top of the 154-pound division. But another loss could very well close the door on Rosado's title dreams, and perhaps have him wishing that he had avoided that profitable path to the middleweight division.
About one year ago, after a trio of emphatic victories at 154, Gabriel Rosado gave up his #1 ranking as a junior middleweight for the opportunity to challenge middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin on HBO. Few gave the North Philadelphian much of a chance of taking the 160-pound title. So the lucrative move upward – both in weight and in class – was understood to be a calculated risk with a huge upside if Rosado could manage to pull an upset. Even in the worst case scenario Rosado would just go back to 154.
Unfortunately for Rosado, Golovkin retained his crown by bloody TKO that night. Then in a surprise move, Gaby postponed his return to junior middleweight, and that one fight at middleweight turned into three nationally televised bouts that kept Rosado's schedule filled for 2013.
Rosado followed up the Golovkin fight with a 10-rounder against J'Leon Love on PPV, and then a second title shot, this time against Peter Quillin on Showtime. Rosado stuffed his bank account, and gained major exposure on boxing's three biggest TV platforms. However, he finished the year without adding a single a win to his record. Still, those three fights branded Rosado as a blood and guts warrior who knows how to put on a show. That reputation apparently kept him in the mix for big fights.
With his career options appearing limited, Rosado managed to land yet another high-profile fight, another chance to battle his way to the top. But to take this latest opportunity, Gaby had to return to the junior middleweight division and fight a 10-rounder against scalding-hot prospect Jermell Charlo, 22-0, 11 KOs.
The move back down made many Rosado fans happy. Most of them felt that Gaby should have stayed put at junior middleweight in the first place, and they welcomed the news that he was going back down in weight.
But going home to junior middle would not be an easy task. By now, Rosado was walking around at nearly 180 pounds, and the 154-pound limit seemed a world away. Getting to 154 was never that easy for Rosado anyway. He was always the biggest junior middleweight around, and now he had even more weight to cut.
But Rosado has never backed down from a fight – in the ring or at the scales – and gladly accepted the match with Charlo. With long-time trainer Billy Briscoe in his corner, Rosado began to prepare for the DC bout.
Several weeks into camp, Philadelphia was hit with a bad snow storm and record cold snap.
"The weather sucked," Rosado said. "It was snowing and it was difficult to lose the weight. I'd go for my runs and couldn't sweat much. It was interfering with my focus because I wasn't losing the weight. It kind of got in my head. So I told Bill (Briscoe) that I think we had to get out of here. (I said) Let's go to Puerto Rico. I always wanted to do a training camp in Puerto Rico, and I know a couple fighters there. So I made a couple calls, and they said, 'we'll have sparring ready for you and get everything set'. So just like that, I booked the trip, and two days later we went to Puerto Rico."
Team Rosado arrived in Puerto Rico and went right to work at Complejo Deportivo de Caguas, a gym in Miguel Cotto's hometown of Caguas.
"It's a big sports center," Rosado said by phone from Puerto Rico. "You got your weight lifting, you got your track, you got your basketball and baseball. A little bit of everything. The boxing gym has two rings and everything you need in there. The people are great."
Rosado feels that training in Puerto Rico also provides him with an extra career advantage.
"If you get the Puerto Rican fans, I'm talking about the fans from the Island, backing you up, supporting you, putting you in the papers, it takes you to a completely different level," Rosado said. "Boxing is all about who has the fan base behind them."
"Puerto Rico is looking for that guy, that next champion," Rosado continued. "They like that I speak Spanish. They like that I know my culture. I'm not a guy from the states that doesn't know anything. They were actually surprised that I was born and raised in Philadelphia. They thought I was born here and moved to Philadelphia. So I think coming over here wasn't just good for the camp, it was good for me to connect with my background, my culture, and get the people interested in me and behind me. Once you have the people behind you, it becomes a different ballgame."
As soon as Rosado arrived in Puerto Rico, things started to click. The change of pace helped to refocus him, and the weather helped with the weight-cutting process.
"The temperature ranges from 85-90," Rosado said. "So it's pretty damn good. It's so hot down here that when you start working out, you start sweating like a son of a gun."
It was a big change from Philly, and the pounds began coming off. Along with Briscoe, Rosado's prime sparring partner, undefeated light heavyweight Dennis Hasson, also made the trip.
"The weight is coming off smooth," Rosado said. "It won't be an issue. It's not as easy as it used to be, but I'm feeling good. I'm eating good and feeling strong."
There's no doubt that Rosado can get back down to 154, but he'll need to make the weight and retain his strength and stamina to be effective. If he can do this, then all the experience he gained last year, will make him well-positioned for Charlo. He'll enter the ring as a true veteran with genuine experience against some of the very best fighters in the world. Charlo is a serious prospect, but compared to GGG and Kid Chocolate, he doesn't exactly strike fear in Rosado.
"When I heard him talk (on the recent press conference call), I could just hear the inexperience in his tone and in what he was saying," Rosado said. "He was talking about overcoming adversity, but he hasn't been there yet. In reality, no fighter knows if he can go through adversity until he really goes through it. Charlo will find out if he can overcome adversity on January 25th."
Rosado certainly knows adversity himself, and having gone through so much of it already will give him valuable confidence against Charlo.
"I know I can go through it," Rosado said. "I've been through it a couple times. I know what I can go through. Once you survive a tough fight, a knockdown, a cut, and things like that, and fight through it, then you really know what you're made of. He's saying he can go through adversity but he really doesn't know that. You've never been down, you never had to get up from a knockdown, or you never had to fight through cuts. And bunch of things I've been through. He really doesn't understand that. He doesn't even understand what I mean."
Even with a significant edge in experience, Rosado will still have a serious assignment before him. Charlo is an excellent fighter with victories over Denis Douglin, Harry Joe Yorgey and Demetrius Hopkins. Still, Rosado exudes confidence.
"I saw this guy in the Demetrius Hopkins fight," Rosado said. "I was at ringside. I saw his eyes. There was a round when Demetrius caught him with a good right hand, and I really saw this guy get discouraged."
The Hopkins fight pointed Rosado to the key against Charlo.
"I saw it in that fight," Rosado said. "If I apply pressure, I can take his will. So that's pretty much the game plan. We're really working on jumping on this guy early, and approaching every round like it's the last round. We don't want to start off slow. We don't want to break him down little by little. We want to go in there and just go for the kill."
Rosado learned in his last two fights, that getting a knockout makes a big difference.
First, Rosado appeared to edge J'Leon Love on the cards, but failed to sway the judges. (That fight was later changed to a No Contest when Love failed his drug test.) Then in the hotly contested Quillin fight, Rosado learned after his TKO loss that he barely earned a round on two of the three official cards.
These fights taught Rosado that he must keep his destiny in his own hands, or fists. Especially now. Another defeat could end his time in the spotlight and push him into the twilight of his career.
"I know that there is a lot on the line in this fight," Rosado said. "I know what I gotta do. We already know what happened in the last two fights. This is a must-win and a must-knockout (against Charlo)."
If Rosado can score a KO over such a respected young prospect, it could truly turn back the clock to 2012, when the only thing that stood between he and a title shot was time. At that time, Rosado was the mandatory challenger for the IBF belt.
"In the press conference a couple days ago, (Golden Boy Promoter) Richard Schaefer said whichever fighter comes out victorious he's going to be sure they get a title shot next," Rosado said. "So there is a lot on the line."
Golden Boy controls the futures of most of the top junior middleweights, so all this makes sense.
"I'm really motivated for this fight because there are so many big fights at 154," Rosado said. "I know I could possibly get the winner of Canelo-Angulo next. Or maybe get Lara next."
Rosado has had a knack for keeping himself relevant, even after a loss. The reason is no doubt because of the type of fighter he is. Win or lose, Rosado shows up and makes the fight interesting. He's an emerging star, but he needs this win to keep his career going. Rosado realizes this and is ready to go.
"I feel like this is a fresh start for me," Rosado said. "I have unfinished business at 154. The fact that I'm going back to '54 feels like I'm going back home again. I've been away for a while, and I'm finally coming home. It's exciting for me."

Body filler
What is the best way to fill in a roof insert so it will not leak or crack?
what sort of roof insert are we talking about ? what kind of car ?
36 coupe, orig metal roof, that had rubber around it, I have tack welded it in. To weld it in solid would be take too long and may warp it and I don't know how to lead it in. I have heard of some stuff called tigar hair. Just wanted to get some advice on what would work.
Thanks Jimmy
You should weld as much as you can stand then use a fiberglass reinforced filler over the welds. Tiger hair is a fiberglass reinforced filler but the hairs are real long. Get a short strand or pulverized strand fiberglass reinforced filler...it's easier to work with. Then do the finish mud work with regular bondo/filler. If your working on a 36 Ford I just finished one and have a follow along on this project on my website. Might give you some ideas or help...Dave
any time you do a filler panel like that you want to weld it in as much as possible. you want any flexing that the panel will do, to be transmitted right thru the weld and into the next part of the panel... if the flex stops AT the weld, the surrounding filler will crack
the best way to do the welding is to use spot welds to start, get the panel tacked in very well all the way around, then use slightly longer welds to start connecting the dots
use a blow gun to cool each weld after you do it , and jump around ... from 12 oclock to 6, then 3 and then 9 oclock ...
3/4 welded is the least i would recomend, fully welded is always the best
Jimmy..... You said that wwelding it completely will take too long. It will take more time to re-do it when it cracks, and IT WILL CRACK. If you can tack weld it, you can completely weld it. Just take your time and go around doing little areas at a time.
Like the old saying. "If you don't have time to do it right. How are you going to have time to do it over"?
Hammer the welds as you go and weld it solid.
Weld it solid or very near solid (quarter inch gaps MAX) or it WILL crack, period.
I weld all my stuff solid I don't even leave a pinhole but I see some weird stuff. I repaired a 56 Chev that took a light hit in the rear. Shoved the bumper into the right Qtr. Here's the strange part..someone had put a replacement Qtr. bottom on the car at one point. They had tack welds around 6 inches apart,maybe 10 tacks or so down the whole panel.No kidding. Needless to say the replacement Qtr. popped loose. I knew the owner of the car and had seen the 56 numerous times and there was no cracking going on before the wreck. NOW don't do what I am describing.Weld stuff up solid. Just one of those strange things ya see when restoring old cars.
By welding solid there is less chance of moisture contaminating the joint.
You are right on Troy, less chance of moisture (zero actually if it is totally solid), less chance of cracking, less chance of everything bad. Welding it solid is the best way by far.
Jimmy, I don't know if that is a 36 Ford but if it is, for goodness sakes weld it complete. Any nice 1936 car deserves it, but 36 Ford is one of the most beautiful cars ever made. It certainly deserves the little extra time to do it right.

Toddler and Gadgets,Safety issues,
I am a college student who is an older sister to a three year old boy and a seventeen year old girl. My parents are always working everyday. My sister and I study most of the time. We all love him and want to give out best to him that's why I registered here.
I also want to know more about these kind of things to prepare myself in the future.

Hi Atrovel,
Thank you for your post. You sound like a very caring older sister.
In terms of safety issues - would you be able to be more specific? What sort of devices were you thinking of? This will help me to answer your question more fully. Are you and your sister supervising your brother in the daytime? This will be difficult if you are both studying.
It would be good to create a safe area for him to play in. Even better if this area could be filled with toys for him to express his creativity with. These needn't be expensive and can be made from other materials you may have already. I love the ideas and resources at the Imagination Tree - have a look.
I was not sure from your post if you are concerned about too much screen time? I recently wrote a detailed reply about screen time and young children here.
I hope you find this useful and that it helps your brother.
Warm wishes,

I do not have a stokermatic stove, but have seen a few in Wyoming. I own a Prill underfeed stoker. One difference between these stoves (among many) is that some models of the Stokermatic have an "Over-fire" air jet. At the end of the stokermatic manual (attached) it shows the overfire air jet and describes it as "greatly increasing the burning efficiency". From what I've read, it increases turbulence and mixing.
Anyone have any experience with how these work? Does the jet live up to Stokermatic's claims? I was pondering adding one to my Prill, but wanted your thoughts. Is the air preheated at all? What percentage of air is under vs. over? Do they use a separate blower, or is it just ported off of the same blower as underfire air?
Your thoughts appreciated.
BTW - the pages seem out of order in the manual, but if you print it doublesided, you can staple it together like a little booket, and the pages are in the correct order.

A new release in Smutty's Short Batch series, this is an interesting and aggressively hoppy saison ale. It's brewed with a new hop variety called El Dorado, which contributes fruity notes of stone fruit and watermelon rind as well as a solidly bitter hop backbone. A bright gold color in the glass, fruity and slightly piney hop aromas lead on the nose, but are followed shortly after by scents of lightly toasted grain, grass, citrus oil, pear and a hint of white pepper. There's a warmth to the bouquet, which continues on to the full, lush palate, alongside flavors of melon, pear and citrus and medium carbonation that keeps the mouthfeel bright and refreshing.

Get a Colt New Agent .45 with clip draw added. Get off the safety deal.
G30sf and if 10+1 rounds aren't enough then you can use the G21 13+1 round magazine.
Kahr PM45 is pretty impressive and smaller
Being a 1911 person the word Glock leaves a bad taste in my mouthbut ,based on your stated options, I would pick a Model 36 and a spare mag.
A anything in the Kimber ultra family works for me.
We should not forget that the spark which ignited the American Revolution was caused by the British attempt to confiscate the firearms of the colonists. -

I previously posted and recommended a Glock 36. But another good alternative I have used is the Colt Defender.
Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the Peoples' Liberty's Teeth." - George Washington
I really really like my PM9 and it carrys so easily it's nuts. However, my other gun is a heirloom Colt 45 Commander that I won't carry for concern of the law taking it away if I ever used it. I am a huge fan of 45 but hate carrying extra mags, even the 9mm. So when comparing 45's as you are, capacity was a big factor. I was surprised to learn the grip length of the G30SF is the same as the PM9, but the capacity is 10 vs 6rds.
The larget thickness is no big deal and it conceals very well. I do recommend getting a 2 clip IWB holster to spread the weight on your belt and I chose the Garrett Fusion because the clips are closer together than many other brands yet makes the extra weight a non-issue.
Now I have pretty much retired the PM9 but will hang onto it until soceity settles down a bit. I guess I could revers the cant of my Silent Thunder for the PM9 and carry it cross draw as a back up, but nah... I don't need it with my G30SF on the other side.
XDS. Been very pleased with mine. Easier to carry than a XD-9sc, g26/27/19/23, or any other comparable pistol.
My other favorite carry would be a 357 LCR
well if you are used to and like the cw9 why not get the cw45 thats what my next gun will be i think any smaller and you are giving up to much in the trade off

The Road Rarely Traveled: Tundra Adventures2013-03-05 3 17 Share Tweet
In cities, winter is something to be endured, but life goes on. Out in our wilderness, though, the world itself seems to freeze, letting us capture these rare moments in time.
Sometimes, even if you really know where you're from, it's good to get a chance to reset and have a new perspective on the land. The texture of the world can turn around so easily with just a few degrees of change. And the way our breath and our words and our thoughts seem to just freeze in the air, lingering among us while nature sleeps, our cameras capture those moments back out of the air, crystallizing the best of the frozen world.
The last time I regularly used a camera (when it was something akin to a mobile phone now, an accessory you had to have with you before you left for an adventure) was in the late 90's, back when I lived in Oregon. A wonderful place, if there ever was one. Vancouver was a weekend jaunt, taking in the scenery or a Canucks game. The rain and mist was something wonderful, like a friend, sitting out at Tillamook or Cannon Beach, watching these grey sheets pound the ocean flat. The lights on in the occasional shop or restaurant showed themselves as quiet oases, to get warm and fed and socialize.
US West, the old telephone company on the west coast, used to use "life's better here" as their tagline. And life was great there. My only regret is not living there longer, but rare is stability in one's late teens, and soon I was back in the Midwest.
After bouncing around some of the metro areas of the Midwest—mostly Chicago—I made my way here, to what I think is the best place on the planet. We have four true seasons, and we have winters that are rare in North America. The city (with a few thousand residents, it hardly seems like a city) I live in has the third most snow in the United States, averaging 211" a year. No, that's not a typo. We get just under six meters of snow each year, a lot of it lake effect since we're on a peninsula sticking out into Lake Superior.
The summers are incredible, and I'll share plenty of pictures of the summer and fall later in the year. But winter is something special, the landscape frozen in place. It's a chance to pause, to consider the land, think of what we value. Right now we have about 40" of snow on the ground, right around 200" total for the year, and that snow won't go away all at once. It will probably be May or June until all of it is gone.
I've spent more time at the coast than in the woods this winter, a rather pesky cough keeping me off my Nordic skis more than I'd like. What's cool is that a lot of the shots I've taken are normally about five hundred feet out into Lake Superior. It's a different perspective of the land than we normally get. Sometimes, it's good to get reset like that.
Soon, the mountains of snow and ice will make way to land and sea, a kind of balance restored. Then our thoughts wander out with our adventures, into the endless sun and the laughter and tears and solitude and companionship of life in summer, when we live. For now we think, we watch, and we wait.

The Critique of Pure Feeling: Bradley, Whitehead, and the Anglo-Saxon Metaphysical Tradition
by James Bradley
James Bradley did his Ph.D. at the University of Cambridge, where he lectures and teaches in philosophy for the Faculties of Divinity and Philosophy. The following article appeared in Process Studies, pp. 253-264, Vol. 14, Number 4, Winter, 1985. Process Studies is published quarterly by the Center for Process Studies, 1325 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA 91711. Used by permission. This material was prepared for Religion Online by Ted and Winnie Brock.
It has rarely been remarked that the very title of Whiteheads major work contains a more or less explicit reference to that of F. H. Bradleys: Bradleys Appearance and Reality: A Metaphysical Essay (1893) becomes Whiteheads Process and Reality: An Essay in Cosmology (1929).1 Such an obvious and prominently placed allusion is perhaps already enough to suggest that in some important sense Whiteheads thought can be seen as a critical reworking of Bradleys. Moreover, Whitehead himself makes it quite clear where the site of this reworking is to be located: not in any secondary area, but in his massive elaboration and transformation of Bradleys theory of feeling or immediate experience (PR xiii; AI 295ff.). It would thus seem that some understanding of the theory of feeling in Bradleys work might prove to be, not merely a matter of antiquarian interest, but of use in determining the nature and status of Whiteheads thought in the history of modern philosophy.
Bradleys work, like that of his contemporaries, can be defined as an attempt to overcome what was generally regarded as the central problematic of the age: the dichotomy of nature and spirit, poetry and fact (ETR 444).2 In this context it is not surprising that he and his generation turned to the reconciliatory absolutisms of the German Idealists, particularly Hegel. But what Bradley takes from Hegel, as he explicitly emphasizes (PL 515; AR 508n.; ETR 153) is his view of immediate experience as a nondiscrete continuum or whole of sense-contents. He begins, that is, not with Hegels logic but with his psychology. And contrary to the conventional reading of Bradley as a mere Anglo-Hegelian with no place in the native tradition stemming from Locke, this orientation is the product of contemporary developments in British philosophy. Indeed, the larger nature-spirit problematic in which Bradley elaborates his metaphysic here merges into the more specific philosophical problematic of his time: namely, the question of the nature of feeling -- a term which both the Mills (themselves following Hartley3) employed as a synonym for sensation, and which as such did not merely denote pleasure, pain, or emotion.
It was J. S. Mills work which brought to a head the difficulties involved in the traditional atomistic conception of feeling. As a contemporary commentator noted as early as 1865, Mills anti-Hamiltonian view of feeling as a neutral stuff prior to the correlation of Ego and Non-Ego, and his confession that the continuity of feeling, though as real as the sequence, was a final inexplicability4 -- both positions impelled British philosophy in the direction of some kind of original unity.5 To this end, Bradley will conflate the feeling of Hegel and of Mill in order to transform it from a psychological into a metaphysical category that can accomplish the reconciliation of nature and spirit.
The basic continuity is easy enough to see: what unites Hegel and Mills psychological, and Bradleys metaphysical, feeling is that both enjoy a first-level posting as some kind of experiential starting-point, i.e., both are regarded as prior to the ideal or relational differentiation of subject and object. And here Bradley sides with Hegel over against Mills residual atomism: as prior to relational differentiation, Bradley maintains feeling to be nondiscrete or non-relational in nature. He can thus appropriate the idealist view that there is no such thing as immediate apprehension or direct knowledge of particulars and define the objective world as a product of our ideal activity.
But whereas for Hegel as for Mill feeling is actual in the sense that it is an event in the history of the mind, for the later Bradley feeling is not an event or occurrence of any kind. Rather, its actuality resides in the fact that it is the permanent background (AR 461; ETR 176, 178) or condition (ETR 176) of identifiable events and as such does not itself occur or exist. Hence feeling is no longer for Bradley an empirical or mental or subjective entity; in his hands, the psychological category of immediate experience takes on the status of a metaphysical substratum, the common root of all the contents of the objective world. As such, it fulfills a number of important roles in Bradleys work.
In the first place, substrative feeling operates in Bradley as a critical principle 6 which exposes the inadequacy of the relational form of thought to the connectedness of things, or what Bradley calls their experienced togetherness (ETR 200). For Bradley maintains that in the nature of the case the non-relational whole of feeling cannot be reconstituted (ETR 231) by its ideal or relational differentiation. As a result, it remains outstanding and thus requires us to postulate a higher form of unity (ETR 190) which includes both itself and the
differentiation of the relational form, and which as such is cognitively inaccessible. This reconciling unity is of course Bradleys Reality or Absolute.
The critical role of Bradleys substrative feeling is, in the second place, closely tied up with its twofold epistemic role. For while with the idealists Bradley holds that there is no such thing as direct knowledge, and hence that no clear line can be drawn between the given and the made, at the same time he denies one of the implications they draw from that: he maintains the irreducibly of the distinction between the non-relational whole of feeling and the relational form of thought. And this strategy brings with it a particular advantage. For nor by means of any surd-like particulars, but as the difference between the non-relational whole of feeling and the relational form of thought. And this strategy bring with it a particular advantage. For while on the one side Bradley can maintain the distinction of thought and sensation, and the cognitive inaccessibility of the Absolute, on the other he is able to eschew any form of epistemological dualism.
This second aspect of feelings epistemic role can best be brought out by reference to Bradleys essay What Is The Real Julius Caesar? (ETR 419ff.). which was written in answer to Russells well-known contention that Caesar himself is not a constituent of any judgment which I can make.7 Against Russell Bradley contends that the real Caesar. . . must himself enter into my judgments and be a constituent of my knowledge (ETR 409). In Bradleys view, all objects of knowledge are ideal constructions -- for all objects of knowledge are ideal constructions or differentiation out of substrative feeling. As such, however, all objects of knowledge are also real, for objects of knowledge have no status as objects apart from their ideal differentiation, i.e., whatever they may be as elements of the Absolute, they are not, as objects, anything external to or apart from their ideal objectification. Hence Bradley is able to define Caesars objective reality as extending just so far as it works . . . his reality goes out as far as what we call his influence extends (ETR 425).
There is, finally, a third or functional role which feeling plays in Bradleys thought. For in a late essay (ETR 159ff.) he maintains that non-relational substrative feeling manifests itself at the relational level by means of the part it plays in the cognitive determination of objects. So Bradleys substratum no longer just supplies the pre-relational togetherness of things; it is the pre relational togetherness of things in feeling which is a formative, enabling condition in the objectification of objects.
To be sure, the difficulty in Bradleys theory of substrative feeling is obvious: if feeling is non-relational, how can it be known or described at all? But it is in answer to this question that Bradley develops the notion of the functional role of feeling. And on that basis he is prepared to endow feeling with a specific constitution of its own. Hence, as the manifest togetherness of things, Bradley does not conceive substrative feeling as blank or featureless; as he puts it, There are no distinctions in the proper sense, and yet there is a many felt in one (ETR 174). And so far as it is not lacking in internal diversity Bradley is prepared to acknowledge in feeling not only what he terms an undeveloped ideality, but also change . . . though not experienced properly as [relational] change (ETR 174). Moreover, Bradley does not leave these peculiar notions merely at the level of casual speculations, but develops them into the complex and difficult doctrine of finite centers of feeling.
As Bradley defines it (and here his own words are best), a finite center
is an immediate experience of itself and of the Universe in one. . . . And it has properly no duration through which it lasts. It can contain a lapse and before and after, but these are subordinate. They are partial aspects that fall within the whole, and that, taken otherwise, do not qualify the whole itself. A finite center may indeed be called a duration in the sense of presence. But such a present is not any time which is opposed to past and future. It is temporal in the sense of being itself the positive and concrete negation of time. (ETR 410)
In Bradleys view, therefore, a finite center is not an object. It is a basis on and from which the world of objects is made (ETR 411). Now Bradley readily admits that the concept of finite centers is not wholly intelligible. Yet he sees them as having the status of necessary ideas (ETR 412) in so far as they formulate the nature of that which lies behind objects (ETR 411), i.e., in so far as they help to define the nature of substrative feeling as an active unity (ETR 248) of finite center and Universe. Here as elsewhere Bradley is prepared to tolerate the paradoxes involved in the theory of substrative feeling because it is, in his view, the one road to the solution of ultimate problems (ETR 160). With this, Whitehead was not wholly to disagree.
Whiteheads connection with his idealist predecessors in the British tradition is easy enough to see, for he too defines his own problematic in the general terms of a nature-spirit dichotomy (SMW 119, 194). Hence it is not surprising that he acknowledges the importance of the idealists stress on continuity (Rel 5) and appropriates their key metaphor of organism. Unlike the idealists, however (SMW 79; FR 49), Whitehead is able to take advantage of contemporary scientific developments; he thus attempts to elaborate a redescription of nature in terms of the mutual immanence of both poles of the traditional dichotomy.
Although in his early work Whitehead clearly has this possibility in mind, he insists that such a synthesis is exactly what I am not attempting (CN 5) and restricts his program to the philosophy of science. Nevertheless, it is in this context that he addresses the more specifically philosophical problematic of his idealist predecessors -- the nature of sensation or feeling. To be sure, feeling -- for reasons which will emerge -- is not a term which Whitehead employs in his early works. Yet his indebtedness to Bradleys theory there is clear. For Whitehead defines nature as immediacy or sense-awareness and interprets that in Bradleys anti-atomistic terms as a whole or continuum (EPNK 7; CN 14) with ragged edges (CN 50; cf. AR 156) which is differentiated or diversified by reflection (EPNK 59, 68f.; CN 49f.). Thus, by means of Bradleys theory, Whitehead is able to install the notion of events and their overlap at the basis of experience. He can in this way realign philosophy with contemporary scientific theory, while at the same time providing the latter with a ground in immediate experience which had been lacking in traditional empiricism, modeled as that was on corpuscular theories of nature.8 In his early work, Whitehead employs Bradleys antiatomism within a classically empiricist framework; redefined as a continuum, sensation still plays its conventional role as a theory of presentation (EPNK 60), the given foundation of the reflective process.9
Whiteheads mature position is perhaps best characterized as a shift from sense-awareness to feeling. For in the later work, where a full-scale metaphysical synthesis is attempted, Bradleys reconciling concept of feeling is now resorted to as an expression of the togetherness of entities in the world, i.e., with Bradley, Whitehead does not see experience primarily as a matter of the cognition of objects. Yet feeling is redefined by Whitehead as the basic generic operation of passing from the objectivity of the data to the subjectivity of the actual entity in question (PR 40). Just what significance does this redefinition have?
The most obvious feature of Whiteheads redefinition is that it involves some kind of change in Bradleys rendering of feeling as a substratum. For Whitehead sees Bradleys theory as flawed because he accepts the language which is developed from another point of view (ESP 117; cf. PR 167), i.e., he makes the sensationalist assumption (PR 190) that feeling is only analyzable in terms of universals. Whitehead would be ready to admit that in his theory of feeling Bradley has attempted to resolve the problematic status of Lockes substance, traditionally conceived as a substrate hidden behind experience, by turning experience itself into the substrate. But in Whiteheads view Bradley still remains a prisoner of the substance-quality dichotomy: for feeling itself now takes on the mysterious character of a substance, about which all that can be known is its qualities. However, Whiteheads readiness to exploit other aspects of Bradleys theory is indicated by the way he goes about extricating feeling from its entanglement in substance-quality categories; for it is the functional role which Bradley accords to feeling in the objectification of objects that Whitehead takes up, transforming it into something far beyond the strictly-demarcated cognitive condition which it was for Bradley himself. When Whitehead defines feeling as that functioning through which the concrescent actuality appropriates the datum so as to make it its own (PR 164), he is signaling a shift from a substrative to a functional concept of feeling, of a kind which will have to be closely assessed. Feeling itself is clearly no longer to be defined, in Bradleys fashion, as the substratum; but exactly what status it has remains to be seen.
Some key features of the transformed functional role which Whitehead gives to feeling emerge in the context of his treatment of the distinction between subject and object, knower and known. With Bradley, he denies that the knower-known relation constitutes the basic structure of experience. Yet at the same time he rejects the idealist consequences which Bradley had drawn from this denial; with the realists, Whitehead wants to be able to distinguish between the experiencing subject and the object of experience in such a way that the latter can exist independently of the former. So, against Bradley, he sets out to disentangle the subject-object, from the knower-known, relation and to install the subject-object relation as the fundamental structural pattern of experience... but not in the sense in which subject-object is identified with knower-known (AI 225).
Now of course for Bradley the subject-object distinction cannot be basic because it supervenes only at the cognitive or ideal level, i.e., only in the form of the knower-known relation. And as a differentiation of substrative feeling, the object cannot exist independently of the subject, for the object as such can be nothing else than its ideal construction. But having abandoned Bradleys account of feeling as substratum, Whitehead is also able to abandon Bradleys levels. By rendering feeling as the interactive function of dative and concrescent actual entities, he can maintain that the subject-object distinction does not merely supervene at any special cognitive level and hence need not be identified either with the difference or the identity of knower and known. Rather, the knower-known relation is a late sophistication upon a fundamental feature of the interaction of actual entities: that in any process of concrescence there are dative actual entities being felt or objectified, and objectifying or feeling actual entities on their way to subjective realization. Hence, what for Bradley is a distinction between thought and sensation, which as such can only be established as a distinction between levels of reality, is for Whitehead a distinction between past and present, dative and con-crescent actual entities.
In this light, the range and intent of Whiteheads reworking of the functional role of feeling are evident. His crucial move is to render feeling as the process of objectification and concrescence of actual entities. In this way, for instance, value can now be established as an essential feature of the nature of things, in that from the subjective standpoint of a concrescing actual entity objectification is an evaluation of dative actual entities with a view to its own self-enjoyment and aim at satisfaction (RM 85, 101f.). By thus redefining the vacuous actuality, devoid of subjective experience (PR 167) of Newtonian bits of matter in Bradleys terms as contents of feeling (cf. PR xiii, Al 296), Whitehead is able to resolve the dualism of nature and spirit -- but without resort to Bradleys monism or idealism. For the internal diversity which Bradley could only place in feeling as one conflicting metaphor among others (cf. ETR 196), becomes in Whitehead the actual entities of which feeling is the intermediary (PR 88); so conceived, Bradleys togetherness is appropriated within a pluralist framework. Similarly, the problematic undeveloped ideality which, strictly speaking, could for Bradley only be a character of thought, can now be determinately specified as the process of objectification and concrescence itself. And this brings with it two particularly noteworthy advantages for Whitehead.
In the first place, Whitehead can secure his realism (cf. SMW 91) but without abandoning what he regards as Bradleys insights -- for instance, in his treatment of the real Julius Caesar. With Bradley, Whitehead can maintain that Caesars objective reality extends just so far as it works; but objective reality need no longer be identified with ideal objectification. For all past actual entities have what Whitehead calls objective immortality in that their perishing allows them to be dative elements in a present concrescence of feeling. Thus their reality is restricted neither to direct acquaintance nor to ideal construction; it is involved in any objectification of them, cognitive or otherwise, and it is in this nonidealist sense that their reality extends so far as it works. It is evident that at least part of the meaning of one of Whiteheads most important self-descriptions is to be understood in the context of his realist rendering of Bradleys Julius Caesar: Perishing, he says, is the one key thought around which PR is woven, and in many ways I find myself in complete agreement with Bradley (ESP 117).
In the second place, Whiteheads translation of feeling into the process of objectification allows him to negotiate the Bradley-James10 debate on the relational nature of feeling in a significant way. To be sure, thought is no longer in Whitehead the differentiation of a substrative level; but precisely as itself a complex form of the objectifying processes which it analyzes, it is, for Whitehead as for Bradley, a matter of abstraction and selection. Hence, with Bradley, Whitehead can render change proper as a high-level conceptual abstraction from noncognitive processes of feeling. At the same time, however, just because it is conceived as a matter of objectification, Whitehead like James, can endow the process of feeling itself with the structural complexity that for Bradley could only be paradoxically expressed as change, though not experienced properly as change. And of course, so endowed, feeling becomes itself analyzable (PR 221); it is now a matter of feelings, with a complex constitution and differentiable according to their variously special operations (PR 40f.). For Whitehead, the fact of the togetherness of actual entities is indeed ultimate in the sense that it is not explicable by reference to anything else (cf. PR 21, 189); but this no longer means that togetherness is Bradleys unanalyzable substratum.
Perhaps, though, the most graphic picture of the transformation which he works on Bradleys position is provided by Whitehead himself. Reality is now conceived as the dative actual entities constituting the objective contents of the antecedent world, and appearance as the transformation of that content by the concrescent actual occasions (AI 268ff.). In Whiteheads hands, Bradleys vertical distinction between appearance and reality has become a horizontal, or, better, vectorial distinction within the process of feeling itself.
At this point, however, it can be asked just how much of a transformation of Bradleys substrative feeling Whitehead actually achieves. And the issue can best be approached by putting the question: if feeling is analyzable, of what exactly is it the analysis?
The usual answer is that the structure which Whitehead imputes to his functional feeling is micrological in character, i.e., that feeling, as the function of actual entities, belongs to an impalpable subatomic realm lying at the basis of things. On the micrological view, in other words, Whiteheads actual entities and their process of feeling are conceived as having the status of a substratum, out of which the empirical world derives. Now of course, if this were the case, the difference between Bradleys substrative, and Whiteheads functional, feeling would not be so very great. Although not itself the substratum, nevertheless Whiteheads process of feeling, like Bradleys, would still have a first-level posting or substrative status, and, like Bradleys, it would be in that status that it fulfills its functional role. To be sure, Whiteheads substratum does not involve any Bradleian ontological distinction between levels of Reality. The empirical world is not a distorting appearance of the substratum of concrescent actual entities, but rather realizes or embodies its foundational elements in ever more complex grades and formations, i.e., it is not a distortion but an instantiation of its basic constituents. Yet this said, Whiteheads rendering of feeling as functional is clearly not taken to involve any alteration in its substrative status. The point is, rather, that by allowing him to do away with Bradleys substance-quality and idealist preoccupations, Whiteheads functional feeling enables him to elaborate a completely novel account of the nature of the substratum. On the micrological view, it is not the notion of a substratum which is at issue between Bradley and Whitehead, but the way in which the substratum is to be defined and characterized.
The interpretation of the relation between Bradley and Whitehead which the micrological view implies can be specified by brief references to three topics. For instance, defenders of the micrological view would presumably be ready to acknowledge the similarities between Bradleys nontemporally durational finite centers and Whiteheads epochal actual entities.11 The crucial difference would of course be that the latter are freed from the paradoxical entanglements of Bradleys nonrelational whole of feeling. But on the micrological view, nevertheless, Whiteheads actual entities, like Bradleys finite centers, are to be seen as a basis on and from which the world is made.
Again, there would be no problem in acknowledging, on the micrological view, that Whitehead presents his concept of feeling as a descriptive generalization of (among other things) immediate experience. But at the same time, rightly enough, it would be insisted that Whiteheads immediate experience cannot be conflated with Bradleys; for in Whitehead, immediate experience operates as foundational only within the limited area of animal or human cognition and cannot, as in Bradleys idealist metaphysic, be identified with the substratum itself. Rather, as Whitehead insists, immediate experience is itself in need of elucidation and analysis (PR 4,264; FR 53,63; SMW 55, 196). And on the micrological view it is the concept of a substrative process of feeling which provides the requisite elucidation, allowing immediate experience to be regarded, neither as atomic, nor as formless, but as a complex exemplification of the fundamental structurality of things. So while it would be admitted that Whitehead has redefined both Bradleys feeling and his immediate experience by (so to speak) peeling them off from each other, nevertheless Whiteheads redefined feeling would still be seen as endowed with the substrative status that in Bradley was accorded to immediacy.
Finally, Whiteheads methodology of descriptive generalization would, on the micrological view, be seen as belonging within a particular tradition, i.e., as involving what might be called a metaphysical reduction of the empirical world to some foundational and actual element, on the same methodological lines as Leibnizs monads, Bradleys substrative feeling, Alexanders space-time matrix, or Heideggers Being.12 In other words, Whiteheads actual entities are conceived as having a special kind of actuality of their own as the ground or foundation from which the empirical world derives. A qualification would, however, be added at this point: the concrescent process of feeling is not for Whitehead to be regarded as that kind of metaphysical ground on which can be established an account of the nature of things that has unrestricted universality. Whitehead, rather, offers an essay in cosmology, not a metaphysical essay, i.e., repudiating any such metaphysical ground, he restricts his philosophical account to the present epoch of the universe (PR 197-99; AI 270). Yet apart from this limitation, Whitehead would be seen as one of the company of metaphysical reductionists.
Such then is the micrological view of Whitehead. The very least that can be said for it is that it allows the novelties of Whiteheads thought to be nicely balanced within a larger framework of philosophical tradition. It has, however, recently been challenged by an interpretation which convincingly argues that Whiteheads concept of actual entities and their process of feeling constitutes an analysis of the nature and structure of any concrete existent whatsoever.13 And in the present context this means that actual entities and their process of feeling are not to be conceived as a substratum from which the empirical world is derived. Actual entities are not the basic constituents of things, which are embodied in ever more complex formations; they are not a special kind of existent, or indeed any kind of existent at all. The concept of actual entities and their process of feeling is not the concept of a substratum, or of anything else, that is in any way actual qua existent, but is a descriptive model of the generic features of any existent, from the simplest to the most complex. It is in this, and not in any foundational sense that the concept of actual entities and their feeling-structure represents for Whitehead the ultimate, final, real, or actual nature of things.
The details of this interpretation cannot be debated here, but its consequences for any reading of Whitehead in the context of Bradleys work, and for the issues that raises, are clearly decisive. Thus -- summarizing briefly in the light of the preceding discussion -- it now becomes evident that Whitehead has not merely separated out Bradleys feeling from Bradleys immediate experience, but completely purged the former of the substrative status given it by the latter. For Whitehead does not employ any metaphysical reduction procedure, nor does he discover any special kind of foundational existent. Unlike Bradleys concept of finite centers as a base on and from which the world is made, Whiteheads actual entities and their process of feeling have a very different status as a descriptional model of the nature of all existents. And so understood, it becomes apparent that Whiteheads process of feeling involves a radical transformation as much in the status as in the role of Bradleys theory. The shift from metaphysics to cosmology is not just a restriction on the unlimited universality of the former, but represents the abandonment of an entire methodology characteristic of post-Cartesian speculative philosophy.
Once seen in this light it becomes possible to define Whiteheads philosophy as an essentially modernist philosophy. Bradley is, in comparison, a Janus-like figure whose thought faces in two directions at once and inhabits both the centuries which his life spanned. For on the one hand, with his theory of feeling Bradley rejects atomistic sensationalism and moves from the ocular imagery of perception and representation to function. On the other hand, however, he retains the notion of a substratum -- albeit now formless, unspecifiable, and self-consciously problematic -- and attempts by means of that tenuously to ground the unity of an incomprehensible world. Yet if, so understood, Bradleys work can be seen as the axis which, in the Anglo-Saxon world, turns nineteenth-century German Idealism and empiricist sensationalism into the twentieth century, it is Whitehead who firmly inhabits the new age, establishing the structural model of the process of feeling in the place of any attempt to provide an original or final Real, or a center or privileged locus for the nature of things.
Nevertheless, Whiteheads work is not without its own ambivalence, as is suggested by his remark that in the final section of PR the approximation to Bradley is evident (PR xiii). For another aspect of the complete agreement with Bradley which Whitehead records on the subject of perishing resides in his readiness to endorse Bradleys view that there is a final reality which contains the subjective immediacy of all feeling-centers without loss or diminution (PR 350f.; AR 212,404). Again, it cannot be overlooked that Whiteheads descriptional model does appear to contain a specific kind of actuality characteristic of metaphysical reduction procedures more traditional even than Bradleys -- namely God in Gods primordial nature. But to assess the significance -- regressive or otherwise -- of these features of Whiteheads thought, much more than reference to Bradley is required. At the very least, the other twentieth-century fates of Bradleys metaphysics of feeling need to be taken into account: Dewey s rendering of feeling as an indeterminate materials-source with no special constitution of its own, and Collingwoods translation of both Bradleys and Whiteheads main doctrines into the framework of an historical-hermeneutical theory of epochal presuppositions. Here the critique of pure feeling -- the distinguishing thread of the modern Anglo-Saxon tradition -- emerges as a debate on the end of metaphysics. In the context of the debate, the significance of Whiteheads methodology -- his antisensationalist, antisubstrative descriptive model of feeling -- resides in the fact that it represents a self-conscious attempt to retain the level of generality characteristic of metaphysics, without the traditional appeal to any special metaphysical underpinnings.

For what follows in the text, it should be noted that while I agree with Wallack that Whiteheads concept of an actual entity refers to any concrete existent whatsoever, I do not accept that for Whitehead this means that any concrete existent is an actual entity. In my view, Whiteheads generic notion of actual entities must be taken as that and nothing else, i.e., as a metaphysical description of the nature of real things, and not as involving any claim that actual entities are real things or the real constituents of things. In Whiteheads philosophy, real things must be described as actual entities, but this does not mean that things are really actual entities or that actual entities are real. The point of Whiteheads cosmology -- as of any modern cosmology -- is that its generic concept (the concept of an actual entity) is a true descriptive model of the world, and is in that sense actual or real; Whitehead is not maintaining that the world is full of descriptive models. The view of actual entities as real existents (whether microscopic, macroscopic, or hypothetical), rather than as descriptions of the real, has vitiated the understanding of Whitehead from the outset. In the present article I am concentrating on the shift Bradleys feeling undergoes in Whitehead in order to bring out the contrast between the traditional metaphysical (substrative or actual) and the Whiteheadian cosmological (descriptive or modular) modes of speculative philosophy.


text:
Arising from the economic and social disorganization in the wake of the Civil War, six veterans of the Confederate army organized a small social club or fraternity. Their meeting took place in the summer of 1866, in the law office of Judge Thomas M. Jones of Pulaski, Tennessee. Initially organized for amusement purposes only, six former soldiers essentially engaged in horseplay, wearing disguises and riding their horses around town after dark. Finding that their actions frightened former and often superstitious slaves in the area, the members of the Pulaski Klan, thought to be ghosts of dead Confederate soldiers, heightened their activities in an attempt to restore the former plantation system. The idea of frightening former slaves back to work attracted numerous new members, resulting in the spread and rapid expansion of the Ku Klux Klan.
Relatively non-violent in nature, the Ku Klux Klan, under the leadership of Forrest, grew and transformed considerably following the passage of the Reconstruction Acts of March-July 1867. In fact, harassment, intimidation, and murder became more commonplace, as northern teachers, judges, politicians, carpetbaggers, and Freedmen were targeted indiscriminately. Louisiana was no exception, as conservative whites organized into a number of secret paramilitary organizations.
Hoping to elect Democrat Horatio Seymour over Republican candidate Ulysses S. Grant, Louisiana white paramilitary organizations, initiated a campaign of terror against Freedmen never before witnessed in Louisiana. Given that blacks outnumbered whites almost 3 to 1 in Northwest Louisiana, controlling the black majority and securing the Democratic vote took on increasing importance for these groups.
Historically, violence was nothing new to residents of Northwestern Louisiana. Shreveport was minimally affected by the Civil War and briefly served as the capital of Confederate Louisiana. Area whites never really felt defeated and very much despised the Reconstruction policies of the Federal government. Despite victories in Louisiana and six other states, Seymour and Blair lost to Grant and Colfax. Briefly returning in 1874, white on black violence fell sharply in Northwestern Louisiana. Relatively quiet for almost forty years, the "Ku Klux" movement returned with a vengeance in the 1920's.
Spreading rapidly throughout the South, the Ku Klux Klan reentered Louisiana and began organizing a chapter in New Orleans in November of 1920. The chapter's name was Old Hickory Klan Number One and consisted of lawyers, politicians and doctors. Approximately one week later, Shreveport Klan Number Two was established. Given its rural nature and the large number of protestant whites, Shreveport became the state headquarters of the Louisiana Klan. As the Klan spread throughout the state, most members became increasingly unconcerned with the national aims of the Ku Klux Klan. In general, the Louisiana Klan, at this time, was not concerned with immigration, the Jewish problem, or white supremacy, and thought of themselves as more of a moralistic law enforcement agency. The Klan took it upon them to clean up society and punish bootleggers, moonshiners, vagrants, and gamblers.
The Invisible Empire was at its strongest both politically and in sheer numbers. Louisiana alone boasted 25,000 to 30,000 members. After climaxing in 1924, the Invisible Empire as a whole began to crumble. Whether it was due to violent acts resulting in a poor public image or dissension among members, the 1920's Klan eventually broke into several competing independent realms. Klan membership in Louisiana alone dropped below 3,000 members. Nonetheless, as the 1970's approached, a handsome, young, intelligent, and motivated Louisianan, fought to improve the image of the Klan.
David Duke, Louisiana State University graduate and Imperial Wizard and instigator of the 1974 revival of the KKK, once stated that "We've got to get out of the cow pasture and into the hotel meeting rooms". Understanding the value of media, Duke participated in television, radio, and magazine interviews. He recruited on college campuses and even allowed women and Catholics to become members. Under his leadership, Klan membership rose and boasted a national membership of 3,500 people. Nevertheless, despite Duke's attempt to revive the organization to its former 1920's glory, scandals, violence, and differences in ideology continued to decimate the Klan. Currently, there are approximately 18 white hate organizations operating in Louisiana. This includes five neo-Nazi groups, one Christian Identity group, one neo-Confederate group, six White Nationalist groups, and five Ku Klux Klan groups. Pushing a victimization agenda, principal concerns include a fear that whites are becoming a numerical minority and a fear that whites are losing social authority and power.
Today's Klan uses the Internet to spread messages of hate and violence, gather and share information, and recruit new members. Clearly, the nearly 150 year violent history of the Ku Klux Klan, points to the need to remain vigilant in understanding the ideologies and actions of these groups.

what bhp should i get if i put bbtb and a good induction kit?
Speak to alpina527... ( I think thats his name on here) for the BBTB but best to get the air filter stuff first, makes a nice roar and puts a smile on your face. Umm as for horse power gains, not really sure but with the combo or BBTB, Filter and cat-back exhaust it cleans up the flat spots in the rev range so your call pulls a lot better a cleaner
