Onward and UpwardŚForever? |
Rev. Jeffrey Symynkywicz, February 7, 2010 |
The story goes that, once upon a time in a large American city, the
zookeepers arrived one morning to find that their prize gorilla had escaped!
They searched and searched, all over the place, but to no avail. They were
frantic; they couldnĺt find the beast anywhere. Then, the phone rang; it was the
city library; apparently, the gorilla had broken into the main branch of the
library sometime in the middle of the night. The zookeepers rushed downtown to
the library, and there they found their gorilla, hunched over a table in the
reading room, with the Bible at his left hand, and a copy of
Such is the struggle for people in certain religions, I suppose. But not for most of us, I would bet.
I think I would be safe in saying that most of us here this morning (maybe even all us here?) believe, to one extent or another, in the theory of evolution. Not that we give it a lot of thought necessarily, in our day to day lives; not that we dwell that much on it. But we donĺt, I suppose, have any major problems with it, with the idea that, over years and years and ages and ages, life has evolved upon this planet, and that our present species, homo sapiens, is but the latest in a long line of primates. Thatĺs just something that most of us, I would say, accept as a given. It doesnĺt threaten us. It doesnĺt undermine our understanding of the world. It doesnĺt call our whole religion into question.
Of course, such is not the way it is for many people in our land. There
are, of course, battles raging in various places to reduce the ideas that
Certain religious figures didnĺt like
1. the Fatherhood of God;
2. the
Brotherhood of Man;
3. the Neighborhood of
4. Salvation by Character;
andŚlast but not least (what weĺre talking about today). The Fifth Point:
ôthe Continuity of Human Development in
All Worlds, or the Progress of Mankind onward and upward forever.ö
The Unitarians thought so much of evolutionŚthey had so much faith in the continual development of human progress, human knowledge, even human nature itselfŚthat they wrote it right into their statement of purpose! Thatĺs faith.
They werenĺt just saying that it was possible or even advisable for human beings to evolve and progress: they were saying that it was inevitable; that it was, in effect, pre-ordained. Their declarationŚthat the human race was, in effect, on a limitless escalator (even though I donĺt know if they actually had escalators in the late 19th century or not)Śupward, Upward, UPWARD! ľ that progress was onward, Onward, ONWARDŚwas not, they said, merely the result of hope, or faith, or wishful thinking. It was, rather, an objective realityŚa scientific factŚsomething that could be justified by looking at the verifiable data at hand. Human progress was demonstrable and provable; you could see it all around you; and its continuation (forever, even) was something that you could deduce through reason. Robert Ingersoll, one of the leading free thinkers of the day, went so far as to predict that the days ahead looked so rosy that ôThe future will verify all grand and brave predictions.ö Things will be even better than we think theyĺre going to be, Ingersoll declared. That was, shall we say, a rather optimistic view of human possibilities.
That was then, and this is now. And a lot has happened in the century (plus) since. As Doug Muder, a columnist for UU World has put it:
ôBut what did the future really bring? Two world wars, the Great Depression, and the Holocaust; the Russian Revolution, which promised so much and turned out so badly. By the middle of the century we had the H-Bomb, the Cold War, and McCarthyism.ö Muder continues:
ôThe second half of the 20th century saw another cycle of idealism
and disillusionment. The Civil Rights movement didnĺt end racism. To which we could add a whole dark litany of human absurdity, from the Killing Fields of Cambodia to the Rwandan genocide to the horrors of 9/11.
No wonder nobody remembers
No wonder we donĺt talk about the ôinevitabilityö of human progress any more.
Like the Titanic that was supposed to be ôunsinkableö such heady optimism sank in the icy waters of the real world.
There seems little place in our current worldview for utopian visions, and we may more often than not identify with the words of the great Italian writer, Ignazio Silone: ôI am saddened by all enterprises which seek to save the world. For they seem perhaps the surest way to lose oneself.ö Or, as Rev. Dr. Joshua Snyder has written, ôAnytime we reach for Utopiaů we stumbleů. Utopia is impossible. We are not perfect and never will be. Life is too complicated and there are too many other people that mess up our perfect society. As the Greek playwrights pointed out again and again, self-aggrandizement is the royal road to self-destruction. Perfection, Utopia, and enlightenment are a foolĺs dream. Ecclesiastes says they are a dust blowing in the wind.ö
Or, as Vaclav Havel put it: ôů the world has had the worst experiences with utopian thinkers who promised all that. Evil will remain with us, no one will ever eliminate human suffering, the political arena will always attract irresponsible and ambitious adventurers and charlatans. And humankind will not stop destroying the world. In this regard, I have no illusions.ö
Thatĺs a rather stark way of viewing the world, it seems. Perhaps. Or, maybe itĺs just a realistic one, born from going through life with eyes wide open, and casting a cold eye on the often dicey ways of human nature.
Not long before his death, the
great modern philosopher Bertrand Russell delivered a radio address on the
Thereĺs a cheerful assessment of what awaits us.
But Russell didnĺt leave it there. He went on to say that this honest assessment made it all the more critical for men and women of goodwill to rally to the cause of the survival of our species and our deepest values. Or, as Erich Fromm wrote, ôIn matters of lifeŚbe it of the individual or of societyŚit does not matter whether the chance for cure is fifty-one percent or five percent. Life is precious and unpredictable, and the only way to live it is to make every effort to save it a long as there is a possibility of doing so.ö
We are called to do good, not because life is on an inevitable escalator to Nirvana, and our progress is pre-determined. No, we are called to do good precisely because ôlife is precious and unpredictableö and any human progress that will (perhaps) occur depends on the actionsŚthe willŚof each and every one of us.
We may have no illusions about human nature. We may even be pessimistic, truly, about the prospects for our nation and our world and our human race. But that doesnĺt excuse us from acting, from playing our full role in doing what we think is right. As Albert Schweitzer said in his autobiography, ôTo the question of whether I am a pessimist or an optimist, I answer that my knowledge is pessimistic, but my willing and hoping are optimistic.ö
We do not live by facts alone.
We live the deeper life of the spiritŚthe deeper life of our true humanityŚthrough vision and hope; through faith and courage.
And we donĺt do it alone. We live not by ourselves, or for ourselves, but as part of a common web of all humanity, indeed of all life. Our actions are joined with those of men and women of goodwill and sacrificial spirit everywhere. ôNone of is alone can save the world,ö Rebecca Parker has written, ôbut togetherŚthat is another possibility, waiting.ö And Mother Theresa taught us that ôthe sum of all we do is but a drop in the ocean. But if you do not do your work, the ocean will be one drop less.ö By extension, if we all do not do what we are called to do, the ocean will be so many billions of drops less. That is how the wellsprings of caring and compassion run dry.
Even if together we can not
bring about Utopia or the
As Thomas Wolfe wrote:
ôThe evils that we hate, both you and I, cannot be overthrown with shrugs and sighs and shakings of the head however wise. To believe that new monsters will arise as vicious as the old, to believe that the great Pandora's box of human frailty, once opened, will never show a diminution of its ugly swarm, is to help, by just that much, to make it so forever. We must meet our enemies; fear, hatred, slavery, cruelty, poverty, as they come to us. From there we must proceed in the affirmation of the fact that the continuance of that unceasing war, is our religion and our living faith.ö
Albert Schweitzer also said that in the springtime (which we could sure use around this time!) when the world becomes green again, transformation comes about through millions and millions of individual blades of grass thrusting irrepressibly out of the dark earth. Each single bladeŚeach lifeŚcontributes to the greening of the earth, but it does so only in concert with all the others. We are part of one bodyŚone lifeŚone worldŚtogether. And as we suffer as one through the follies of history and human stupidity, so we are inspired as one through human caring, and human courage and human hope.
Alone we can do so little, and we can burn out so quickly if we try. But togetherŚas part of something that is greater than ourselvesŚas part of something extending back before we even were, and forward to long after weĺre gone, the flame of our hope can burn on and on. Our good works are amplified in the works of others. And if the world is not made perfectŚas perfect it will never beŚit can be made a better place for our having been here. What greater human legacy can there than that?
A poet has written:
You may say that the little efforts that I make will do no good; they never will prevail to tip the hovering scale where justice hangs in balance.
I donĺt think I ever thought they would, but I am prejudiced beyond debate in favour of my right to choose which side shall feel the stubborn ounces of my weight.
May we each help to tip the scale just a little toward kindness and goodness. May we each help to choose a life-giving and compassionate direction for this old world of ours.

Forget It And Move On For Cobblers
Northampton are out of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy following Wednesday night's defeat by Orient
The League One side continued their excellent recent run with a 3-0 success at Sixfields to make it seven straight wins in all competitions.
Aidy Boothroyd was unhappy with a number of decisions made by the match officials and also felt his side had been on top for the first 45 minutes.
"We were by far the better team in the first half," he said.
O's assistant boss Kevin Nugent felt, however, that the visitors had turned in a very professional display.
"It was a really tough game tonight," he said.
"They were tough conditions. It was very cold and windy but I thought it was a fantastic performance over the 90 minutes."
Northampton return to league action this Saturday when they face Cheltenham.

Finally got around to typing this up. For a lot of folks this is going to be a big review of whatcha already know. For those like me, this could well be an intro course in and of itself, minus the physical doing of the things I'm typing. Experienced and inexperienced shooters both, chime in with opinions.
Day One
The Classroom
Our class was taught by both Tom Perroni and Brad Naylor (bio's here so I don't bore y'all with details), with Tom doing most of the talking. The course begins in an office complex for the classroom session, including all the usual topics: safety, ammo and ammo malfunctions, carry conditions, basic drawing and handling, etc. On each of the desks is a binder that contains most of the material needed for the class, but mostly that was so we have something to follow along with; the important parts Tom illustrates in his speaking. In fact, much of what's in the binder he included as an example of what not to worry ourselves over. His goal for the class is to give us an introduction course on how to fight with a handgun, not to overload us with extraneous details.
First off, cursory run-down of general safety rules. Four basic rules, NRA safety rules, yadda yadda. He told us pretty bluntly that since basic pistol proficiency is a requirement for the course, and this was a fighting course and not a basics course, it was expected that we already knew the rules and he was just reiterating them. Also, given that his chosen weapon is a Glock (as was every other weapon in the class except mine), he also reminded us of the primary safety of the gun is us; keep yer finger off the damn trigger until you're ready to shoot. That said, there were zero safety issues at any point during the two days, so either he was right in that we didn't need much going over or his "reminders" were sufficient.
After this we went over cartridge malfunctions, mostly so we could go over how to handle them. Misfires and hangfires incur the tap-rack-fight treatment, and he emphasizes the word "fight" instead of "bang" because getting back into the fight is the crucial part. Squibs... well, kinda screwed on. If you get one and know it, seek cover and clear the gun as fast as possible or you'll have to make due without. That was about the time Tom went over the phrase "two is one, one is none", and suggested we keep a backup on us if at all possible. For defensive ammunition, he strongly emphasized that the first priority of self-defense ammunition be reliable. Everything else comes secondary, and we have to always understand that a pistol is not a reliable man-stopper so no pistol bullet will ever be a be-all-end-all in a gunfight.
Next up, carry conditions. If one's not in the chamber, you're carrying a several hundred dollar hammer. Unless you've got a revolver or an H&K P7, it takes two hands to rack the slide and bad guys aren't usually nice enough to afford you the space or time to draw, rack the slide, and fight. Moral of the story is if you carry a gun, carry it ready to fight.
Now we finally get into the preliminary information for actual handgun use. Positions and gun handling were next. Strong emphasis was placed on use of the low-ready and retention positions, and he explained to us the difference between TV's low-ready and real low-ready (Hollywood got it wrong, who knew?). We also went over Sul, since most of us had only passing familiarity with it, and explained that unless we found ourselves in a stack about to go room-clearing, we probably wouldn't use it much as we would the low-ready or retention position (gun close to body, gripped with both hands, and pointing away at a threat). Just some good knowledge to keep in the toolbox. He also went over the "manipulation position". Effectively, it's the basketball sized area directly in front of and slightly below your chest. The sole purpose of this is to give a common area from which to work on the gun during malfunctions, to conduct reloads, to conduct chamber checks, really anything that involves manipulation but not shooting the gun. The idea is that the closer our hands are to our body, the more dexterous they are. I found that to be correct when it came to chamber-checking and reloads, which I got to do a lot this weekend.
Taking a leaf from Mr. James Yeager, "The root word in 'gun fight' is not gun… It's FIGHT." And so we now move to principles of fighting with handguns. He subscribes to the FAST idea: Fight, Assess, Scan, Tac-reload. These are pretty simple; fight means to shoot to stop the threat, assess means to see if you hit, if he's down, are there more in that direction, etc., scan means turn 360 and see if there are any other issues needing to be addressed, and tac-reload because you always holster a fully-loaded weapon. Tom's also a believer in MOVE: Motionless Operators Ventilate Easily. Good point to get across to us new folks to handgun fighting.
Some of his guidelines are as follows:
- ACT, do NOT hesitate.
- Be aware of available concealment and cover (and know the difference).
- Do not crowd cover.
- Maximize your distance from danger (note the acronym MOVE above).
- DON'T linger in doorways (again, see MOVE above). He describes why doorways are called the "fatal funnel", as a sheriff's deputy in the class also attests to.
- ID your target.
- Watch hands, waistbands, and pockets.
And last but definitely not least,
- DO NOT GIVE UP IF HIT, most people survive being shot with a pistol.
We reviewed, then moved on.
Because we were about to be manipulating our own pistols, we geared up and moved on to dominant eyes. Remembering the discussion elsewhere about dominant eyes, I brought it up with Tom and he directed me to USAEyes.org's Dominent Eye test Card. Print it out, cut out the square in the middle, and follow the directions. Hold it out, focus on something, and while still focusing slowly bring it back until it covers one eye; the eye still looking through the square is the dominant eye (you can also look through the square at an object, and close one eye, then the other; if the object moves when one eye is closed, the open eye is your dominant eye).
Next comes grip. God damn was this a helpful section. Perroni and Jerrett are close and have worked together a lot, so their grip style is identical: fingers over fingers, thumb over thumb. The strong hand grips the pistol as firm as a handshake (no firmer). The weak side fingers should wrap around the strong hand; wrists should be close together. Supporting hand heel should be in contact with the weapon grip. Thumbs should rest on top of each other. Extending your trigger finger along the frame, the tip of your trigger finger should line up even with the tip of your weak-hand thumb. Jerrett's video explains this, but doesn't really show it to the camera very well. The stance gone over is Isosceles, but little emphasis is placed on stance except for marksmanship purposes; staying still long enough to acquire a perfect stance isn't really a good idea (remember the MOVE acronym?). In fact, the two most important things for putting hits on target are sight alignment and trigger control; everything else is supplemental.
On the subject of sights, we move into new territory for me. Perroni's recommendation is to line up the top edge of the sights with the top edge of the intended target; the distance between the top edge of the sights and the bore line of the pistol is significant enough that if aiming for the top of a 1.5" dot (like his torture dots) as described at close ranges will put it through the middle of the dot every time. Where the dots on the sights are doesn't really matter, and can actually distract the eye from focusing on the sights correctly. Before messing with new sights, he suggests blacking out any white dots and using just the blacked out iron sights for a while. I'm going to try this in a different way than he suggests, probably by using construction marker paint and drawing a line across the top edge of the front and rear sights and blacking out the white dots. Who knows, might work, and is cheaper than buying new sights.
Did I mention "focus on the front sight and only the front sight" yet? He said that a lot.
Trigger control was as simple as him drawing with a marker a line across the middle of our fingertip. Focus on keeping the trigger pull consistent, and if you have a short reset trigger then use it. He really pounded "catching the link" as he called it, citing it as one of the few examples in shooting of something you can do to increase both accuracy and speed; it's worked for me in the past, so I can attest to it. My 1911 doesn't have the short reset trigger the rest of the class' Glocks did, but I managed alright anyway. ;)
Drawing the pistol was taught using the "five-step" method taught by Front Sight; useful practice but nothing really new. We did some dry-fire exercises with this to practice grip and trigger control as well. The last classroom topic we went over is "arch of movement", meaning that the human body is made of water and is never gonna sit completely still. Just keep the sights lined up and the bullet will go where ya want it to.
The Range
This part will be much shorter, promise!
The range session included everything we'd learned up to this point practiced in live-fire drills. Most of the targets used were torture dots, especially when Tom wanted to see how well we had down the basics; if we couldn't put a round into any one of the ten dots on command ("Fight", so we'd connect the dots in our head quicker) from 3, 7, and 10 yards, we kept practicing basics until we could.
Nearly every drill started from the holster, and all started at closer ("contact") ranges before being backed out; for those of us who can't draw from a holster out the ranges we can visit, this is great practice. He'd call out a number, we'd draw and shoot one round into the target. When we shot multiple rounds into one or multiple targets, he'd remind us often to let the front sight dictate the cadence of fire. Since he taught us proper grip, he didn't expect any of us should take long in reacquiring the front sight, but since the class was small and he could keep an eye on us he wouldn't let anyone shoot faster than they could accurately hit.
El Presidente's and its variants were done a lot; since I was the only one there with a concealment holster, I got to see the difference in speed between drawing from concealment and drawing from duty rigs. I kept up plenty fine. This was about the time when most of our shooting was in trios in what he called "failure to stop" drills. Two to the torso, one to the head. Even shooting torture dots, it became a theme to shoot two in a lower dot, one in a higher dot.
One handed, strong- and weak-handed, were done a lot, as were "injured officer" drills where the weapon started on the floor and we had to treat one hand (instructor's choice) as injured, and on command scoop up the gun and fire a shot into a given circle or at center-mass if using the FBI-Q targets. Since folding barricades were available at this range, we made use of these to demonstrate we knew how not to crowd cover and how to give the target "an eyeball and a gun barrel", and nothing else (both two-handed and one-handed, strong- and weak-handed.
If at any point you had to reload or had a failure (we had no failures in the class), you can bet Tom or Brad would be right behind you shouting to "Run the gun! Get back into the fight!" That was pretty good motivation for most of us, and added an element of stress that wouldn't have been there otherwise.
The last range work-out of day one was low-light drills. It's cool that my Surefire can blind people for a little, but that doesn't mean **** when it's making you a beacon to shoot at. He showed us how to grip the lights and the handgun (back of hand to back of hand), and killed the lights. On command, light up the target and fire, then MOVE!. If you left your light on too long, "TURN THAT DAMN LIGHT OFF! That ******* thing is a bullet magnet!" If you didn't move after using the light, "You're going to get your *** SHOT if you don't move!" Real eye-opener, and definitely a worthwhile drill that emphasized both speed (IDing your target and lining up sights) and accuracy (hitting your target shooting one-handed in low-light).
Break for the evening, come back to the range early for shoot/no-shoot.
Day Two
The Range
We started at the range today because the shoot/no-shoot exercise takes up space we wouldn't have if the range was open to the public. A projector is brought in beamed onto a shower curtain (or something). You, the shooter, would be shown a time-series of slides and have to react to whatever's on the screen after being given background descriptions by the instructors ("You hear a noise in your backyard and step out to see an unidentified man. He is not supposed to be there..." that sort of thing). Sometimes it's harmless (a person raising their hands and backing away), sometimes it's not (a person presenting a weapon), and sometimes it's a cop (who shows you his badge). We were "strongly encouraged" to give loud, clear vocal commands to the subjects. The worst one at this was the kid from New Jersey, but he was still pretty good considering this was the first time he'd ever been faced with making those sorts of decisions (or even thought about having to make those sorts of decisions).
My only "bad shot" that I remember (that sounds reliable ) was on a woman who grabbed for a nearby gun after being told to get "get the **** away from that gun". Apparently she decided right about the time when the trigger was pulled to drop it, but in my defense she still grabbed it after my commands otherwise. ::)
Next up, Virginia DCJS qualifications. Nobody scored less than 280, mine being the lowest score because I can't shoot for crap left-handed at 15 yards. That and I learned leaning the gun against a barricade is not a great way to get accurate shots.
More of all of the drills from Day 1, and my dad and I both did a lot of awkward position shooting: shooting from on our butts, backs, knees, "fetal" position (as in, getting knocked down and being attacked while we try to shoot the threat). We also had drills with advancing targets, where we had to shoot them the moment they started moving and keep shooting until told they weren't threats.
The final drill we learned but only did a little of was team commands. Set up into pairs, we would trade shots, and when a reload was required we'd have to drop and call out "Drop!", reload, call "Up!" and wait until being tapped by our partner or until our partner replies "Up!" so we don't get plugged in the back of the head. Good drill, but we ran out of time before we could do a lot of it. Range was getting too busy and we never got to do any moving/shooting drills. (Advanced Handgun II, maybe?)
The Classroom
This classroom session was really just a debriefing of everything we'd done and why. It also gave Tom a chance to point us to the back half of our binders, which were full of drills worth practicing, and the Federal Air Marshal qualifications (which he wanted us to do but again, ran out of time) that I'm definitely going to be practicing on. This was more of a general question-answer period than anything else.
Was it worth the $300 + ammo? Hell yeah. I only learned a few things on the "theory" side, but I learned a lot in the actual doing. It's nice to get solid training from someone who trains and uses what he trains for a living. Oh, and being able to open-carry is really, really nice. ;D
My gear worked flawlessly; Springfield Mil Spec, CMC Power Mags, and their reloads (good quality stuff; these folks apparently reload professionally). The Milt Sparks Versa Max II is a great holster, and really comfortable, but gets kinda hot in the outdoors for long periods of time, and warms up real quick to a hot-barreled gun. Surefire 6P LED Defender is a great light, and I'm getting a better feel for the quality behind it the more I use it at work.
Couple of observations: First, my Comp-Tac single-mag carrier can't be used concealed; it just plain sticks out too much. Sucks but oh well, I'd planned to get a more concealable one anyway and mostly just needed something for the class. On my 1911, Ima have to do something about the thumb safety. It's bottom corner is blade sharp, and chewed my thumb up pretty good. I'm debating whether or not to actually swap out the thumb safety or just have it dehorned. The grips are nice, but not grippy enough; I'm surprised how differently a 1911 handles with a smooth as opposed to textured front strap. I just picked up some skateboard tape to put onto the front strap, and I should be good to go there (maybe get some slimmer grips while I'm at it).
The sights I mentioned dealing with earlier, and now have a brush small enough to actually do the deed. I'll hold off until I'm feeling photographic and document the process to put up here.
Thanks for tuning in. :)

LITTLE ROCK – After storms on Friday, the Bryant Hornets' game with the Little Rock Catholic Rockets was postponed until Saturday at Lamar Porter Field in Little Rock and the Hornets came away with a 3-1 extra-inning victory in 7A Central conference action.
BENTON – If there is one team in the 6A conference with a better chance to win the state title than the Benton Lady Panthers, they have not made their way to Lady Panther Park in 2012. Since having their 18-game winning streak snapped last weekend in the Beebe/Searcy Tournament at the hand of Jonesboro Westside, Benton has ran their new streak to four straight after winning their 10th consecutive conference game on Saturday against Texarkana. After Friday was filled with rain and high winds, Benton was forced to reschedule until Saturday, where they won 7-3.
BAUXITE – After losing their previous two games, the Bauxite Miners picked up a 4-2 win over the Episcopal Wildcats in non-conference play on Thursday in Bauxite. The Miners received good fundamental play, pitching and defense to hold on for the win.
"We were real solid on defense and we bunted the ball real well," Bauxite Coach Michael Mattox said. "We got two great bunts from our three-hole hitter and we got another good bunt from Blake Yates and that's what got us going."

Competition in the Mobile Communications Industry
T-RCED-96-20: Published: Oct 12, 1995. Publicly Released: Oct 12, 1995.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
GAO discussed some of the key changes occurring in the cellular telephone industry and their impact on competition. GAO noted that: (1) Congress and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) have increased the amount of radio spectrum available for mobile telecommunications and have allowed new companies to provide these services; (2) the use of digital technology will result in greater utilization of the radio spectrum and is one of the most important factors affecting the cellular telephone industry; (3) new cellular providers are expected to enter the cellular market, increase competition, and lower consumer prices within the next 2 years; (4) cellular resellers are proposing to expand their role in delivering cellular service, so that they can create more competition and benefit consumers; and (5) this proposal is unlikely to provide lower prices for consumers, since resellers will not be competing at the wholesale level.

Two bums are sitting talking. The first one starts bragging, "Today was the best day ever! This morning I found a brand new pack of smokes just sitting on the ground. So you know what I did? I sat and smoked every fucking one of them... had the best day ever."
The second bum just laughs, "Thats nothing, today I was walking along the rail road tracks and I found this girl laying on the tracks. You know what I did? I fucked her all day long." The other bum interrupts, "Bull! You didnt do it all day long did you?", the other continues, "Well, no but it was for at least a few good hours, best day of my life."
The first bums asks, "So did she give you a good blowjob?" The other replies no. "How could you possibly be getting busy with this girl for hours, and she doesnt even give you a blow job?" To which the other replies, "How could she? She didnt have a head!"

Hmmm, a new version of the John Fowles novel, perchance? Erm, no. This is a crass, silly and baffling slice of torture porn – with the audience being tortured, chiefly with boredom. An ordinary decent criminal burgles a house; once he's inside he realises that the owner and his family are now being held hostage by a masked wacko who has not reckoned on the burglar's secret presence – he is the only one who can rescue them. But why, oh why, is the sicko-hooded-torturer doing this awful stuff? Well, it's because he's a "collector" of people. Why? Who knows, or indeed cares?

From the archive: Johnny Winter shows you some great slide licks for open A tuning.
New lesson: Troy Grady investigates Yngwie's rotational picking mechanic.
Andy Aledort breaks down the technique of Gary Moore, who died four years ago today.
These videos and audio files are bonus content related to the December 2014 issue of Guitar World. For the full range of interviews, features, tabs and more, pick up the new issue on newsstands now or at the Guitar World Online Store.
Before getting to the "Sevens" lick, I'm going to break down the technique involved so that you will be able to apply this idea to creating riffs of your own. The genesis of the lick was in trying to find a new way to play a major-seven arpeggio. I started out by breaking it down into two notes per string, as shown in FIGURE 1a.
Why am I back? Uh…to teach you how to rock, that's why! I'm also here to talk about the brand-new Steel Panther album, All You Can Eat, which you are no doubt listening to right now! I came back just so that I could teach you how to play some of the incredible riffs on our new record, and I'd like to start with the song "If I Was the King."
Two of the most essential techniques for all aspiring guitarists to master are string bending and vibrato. The electric guitar affords us the opportunity to express musical statements that can evoke and rival the sound and qualities of the human voice, with string-bending and vibrato techniques as the primary elements necessary to achieve vocal-like sounds and phrasing.
Stevie Ray Vaughan's distinctive playing style is earmarked by equal parts pure power, intensity of focus, razor-sharp precision and deeply emotional conviction. And then there's his tone—probably the best Stratocaster-derived sound ever evoked from the instrument.
Here's one fresh from the Guitar World archives! It's a clip that appeared on the disc that accompanied our January 2006 issue, which features Metallica's Kirk Hammett on the cover.
In this lesson, I'm going to demonstrate some basic string-skipping patterns. These patterns are easy to link up with your pentatonic scales, and I think you'll find them very useful for adding some flash into your riffs and solos. I'm going to play them separately at first, and then at the end of the lesson, I'll string them all together into a chord progression.
Every great rock song has a great riff, be it a single-note melody or a chordal-based sequence, and that's probably what makes it a great song. Like a great frontman, a really good rock riff should have a hypnotic, star quality. A great riff can take you over; you might find yourself playing it repeatedly for ten minutes. There's something about it that makes you want to indulge in it.
When I was starting out as a guitar player, it took me a while to understand the ultimate purpose of playing guitar. During those early years, I had some chops and I knew some theory, but my playing felt like it lacked purpose. That's because it took me a while to understand that the ultimate purpose of playing guitar, at least to me, was to make the instrument an extension of your own self.

Irvine, CA
Work was done quickly and the work area was kept very neat. Quality of workmanship is excellent.
La Canada Flintridge, CA
They were careful, prompt, and courteous. The final result appears to be OK. Only time will tell.
Santa Monica, CA
Belle Plastering provided the best service I've ever encountered in home construcion work. Derrick Regnier (the owner) is ethical, conscientious, honest, caring, and an all around good guy. His bid came in fair, and I paid not a dime more for anything we agreed on. Everything was on the up and up with Derrick. Most importantly, he gave me a brand new house with top of the line stucco. My neighbors constantly remark on how they can't believe how beautiful my house is now. Derrick delivers the best quality in products and application. He has a great crew of guys that you'll love having around. You can't go wrong with Belle Plastering!

This New TEEN WOLF Trailer Definitely Rocks the Creepy Factor
By Merrill Barr on June 6, 2014
Warning! This post contains spoilers for Teen Wolf Season 3.
No one expected the MTV adaptation of Teen Wolf to become one of the best supernatural dramas on TV, but it is, and last season kicked a whole lot of viewers' asses when Scott McCall's (Tyler Posey) on-again, off-again love interest, Allison Argent (Crystal Reed), was murdered by the demonic Oni. Now, with Stiles (Dylan O'Brien) recovered from his possession at the hands of the nogitsune, a new threat has emerged (as we saw at the end of last season), the presumed dead Argent aunt, Kate (Jill Wagner).
Now, with a few weeks to go before the Season 4 premiere, MTV has released an all new trailer for the upcoming run:
"You seriously need to find something better than a baseball bat."
You know, we've really got to hand it to creator/showrunner Jeff Davis. The guy is never content to simply let werewolves populate his world. Though, it is interesting he's never tapped the vampire pool, always going out of his way to find new monsters that haven't received a lot of on-screen treatment, similar to the way CW's Supernatural operates. We may not know what those creepy, mouthless new creatures are, but they sure do look like an excellent new foe for Scott and the gang.
What do you guys think of this look at the next season of Teen Wolf? Are you pumped to see some of the new monsters? Are you still mourning the loss of Allison? Let us know in the comments below.
I still don't understand what this has to do with music…
The only thing that saved the last season was possesed Stiles plot. Since season one Teen Wolf has lost the spark, I vote for less monsters and more interesting character development. Still I'm going to watch and hope the show surprises me. I like Stiles and Scott and want to see what happen. The trailer tasted like Muchado about nothing, but anyway, I blame Hemlock Grove to high my expectations on any show with werewolves on it.
[…] Friday, we gave you a 30-second first look at the new season of MTV's Teen Wolf. But, let's be honest, 30 seconds is just never enough, […]

I am new at FireArms Talk, and this is my first post. I am new to guns. I wear eye glasses and am looking for eye and hearing protection while firing a pistol. Should I be using wrap around safety glasses, or would eye glasses be enough protection? If more protection is needed, are wrap around safety glasses available that fit over eye glasses? And would I better off with ear plugs since the frames might break the ear muff seal? I admit my ignorance and that I've asked a lot of questions. But I want to be sure that I do things right. Thanks.

You should be looking for something with an ANSI rating of Z87.1 for the glasses. Your prescription lenses or sunglasses should be sufficient as long as they carry that "safety" rating. As far as ears go, I've always preferred muffs, as they're quick and easy to get on and off. All muffs, even the cheapest, will conform to the proper ANSI rating. If you prefer plugs, look at the "NRR" rating on the container and buy the highest that you can find. They're cheap, so buy a few different kinds and see what fits you best and feels most comfortable. Many will tell you that they run double protection, but generally for shooting, it's overkill. I double up at work, but only because I work on a large hammer drill that produces sustained noise in excess of 150 dBc. You'd be hard pressed to find a gun that put out that much noise. When I shoot, I usually wear my Smith Optics sunglasses and a pair of muffs that I paid $3ish for. Welcome to the site. Let us know if you need anything.
"'Did you ever wonder why we had to run for shelter when the promise of a brave new world unfurled beneath a clear blue sky? " Roger WatersVote freedom, join the Libertarian Party.
I also have eye glasses and if in a pinch I'll use them, but I have a pair of ESS ICE ballistic glasses with perscription inserts that I wore over in Afghanistan that I use for shooting here. They look a bit dorky with the clear ones, but I don't wanna take any chances with training. IIRC you can get them for about $70 with the inserts. As for hearing I have 2 different muffs. One is a normal good quality ear muff that I use when I shoot by myself. I also have one of those ones that claim to cut out noise at a certain decible level although I found they don't work so hot in indoor ranges, so I let anyone I take with me to outdoor ranges use those so if I have to correct them I'll be sure they hear me.

@ twitcheyfinger, welcome here in the forum. I wear prescription glasses aswell. For shooting I bought myself a pair of peltor maxim/maxim ballistic safety glasses and the matching Rx insert for prescription lenses. By using such a system, you can get diffent coloured lenses, amber, grey or clear and just need to move the Rx insert. Ken
Thanks to all for the informative replies. Kdog, I think that I will give your suggestion a try since the price sound reasonable.
I wear contacts so my safety glass requirement is satisfied with my Remington shooting glasses. (<$10 and I have several shades for in and outdoors) When it comes to hearing protection I find the ear muffs distracting and extremely HOT down here in South Florida. I did a great deal of testing and research for an "ear plug" style substitute for the muffs. I was not having any luck and refused to pay the $500+ electronic ear plugs. Then I found a pair of $12 plugs made by Surefire called EAR PRO, Sonic Defenders Plus. This allows me to shoot about 90% of my handgun time sans muffs. I use both when shooting Fenrir (my 460 Rowland hand cannon) and muffs when shooting long guns outdoor. I see the price has gone up but what hasn't? I get a sale alert every now and then that they are on sale. I got my first two pair last fall and am still using the first pair. They seem to be pretty durable and require little maintenance. Im a big guy but purchased the medium size because a note in the ad said the majority of users wear medium. Im glad I did! The medium is almost too big. Try a pair, I think you'll like them. I think a good range bag will have both plugs and muffs. A durable set of muffs are <$20 and last you a lifetime.EarPro EP-3 Sonic Defenders®- EP3 from SureFireSurefire | EP4 Sonic Defenders Plus Earplugs | EP4-MPR | B&HSurefire EP4 EarPro Sonic Defenders Plus EP4-LPR

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Primitive Baptists, also known as Hard Shell Baptists,[1] Anti-Mission Baptists,[1] or Old School Baptists[1] are conservative, Calvinist Baptists adhering to beliefs that formed out of the controversy among Baptists in the early 1800s over the appropriateness of mission boards, Bible tract societies, and temperance societies.[2] The adjective "Primitive" in the name has the sense of "original."[1]
Contents |
This controversy over whether churches or members should participate in mission boards, bible tract societies, and temperance societies led the Primitive Baptists to separate from other general Baptist groups that supported such organizations, and to make declarations of opposition to such organizations in articles like the Kehukee Association Declaration of 1827.[2][3]
Primitive Baptist churches arose in the mountainous regions of the southeastern United States, where they are found in their greatest numbers.[4][5]
African-American Primitive Baptist groups have been considered a unique category of Primitive Baptist with approximately 50,000 African Americans affiliated with African-American Primitive Baptist churches as of 2005.[6] Approximately 64,000 people were affiliated (as of 1995) with Primitive Baptist churches in the various other emergences of Primitive Baptists.[6]
Since arising in the 19th century, the influence of Primitive Baptists has waned as "Missionary Baptists became the mainstream".[3]
Primitive Baptists trace their origins to the New Testament era,[3] rather than to John Calvin. In fact, they oppose elements of Calvin's theology, such as infant baptism, and avoid the term "Calvinist."[1] However, they are Calvinist in the sense of holding strongly to the Five Points of Calvinism and they explicitly reject Arminianism.[1][3] They are also characterized by "intense conservatism".[4][7]
Primitive Baptist practices that are distinguishable from those of other Baptists include a cappella singing, family integrated worship, informal training of preachers, and foot washing.
Primitive Baptists generally do not play musical instruments as part of their worship services.[9] They believe that all church music should be a cappella because there is no New Testament command to play instruments, but only to sing.[8] Further, they connect musical instruments in the Old Testament with "many forms and customs, many types and shadows, many priests with priestly robes, many sacrifices, festivals, tithings" which they see as having been abolished; "had they been needed in the church Christ would have brought them over."[8] African-American Primitive Baptists may not share the general Primitive Baptist opposition to musical instruments, however.[10]
Primitive Baptists notably reject the idea of Sunday School,[11] viewing it as unscriptural and interfering with the right of parents to give religious instruction to their children.[12] Instead, children are expected to attend at least part of the church service.[13]
Primitive Baptists consider theological seminaries to have "no warrant or sanction from the New Testament, nor in the example of Christ and the apostles."[12] Instead, a male (never a female) in the congregation expresses his desire to preach and learns by practice and example.[14]
Primitive Baptists are recognized for practicing the ritual of foot washing as part of their religious observance.[15][16] The sexes are separated during the ritual where one person physically washes the feet of another.[16][15][17] The practice is credited with increasing equality, as opposed to hierarchy, within Primitive Baptist churches.[18]
Wikisource has the text of a 1920 Encyclopedia Americana article about Primitive Baptists. |
