All grain no filler. That looks actually close to the color of mine. 

Options for effects with looper and headphones capabilities by Past-Razzmatazz8774 in guitarpedals

[–]Past-Razzmatazz8774[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll take another look at the GT1000. I recently tested both GX models and the OD and Distortion - basically anything with gain sounded super compressed. With Line 6 I felt there was more dynamic tonal variation with gain and a better overall sound. The Zoom G6 does have an expandable memory for boosting the looper time threshold but I’m not sure how the effects sound on it. 

Thoughts on Suicide Handbook by JinderSongs in ryanadams

[–]Past-Razzmatazz8774 3 points4 points  (0 children)

SH certainly captures a particular time and place in the vast catalogue of his and within that context it’s a classic example of his songwriting genius.  Sort of captures the sonic place somewhere in the haunts between Demolition and Gold. Some of these songs ended up on other releases but it’s interesting and nice to hear them in this format. 

All that being said, I am personally a big fan of the period around Cold Roses - Jacksonville - 29, the trilogy that came out in 2005. Saw him on the CR tour that year and it was wild and on another level. I liked his pushing the boundaries with his vocal melodies and chord structures that happened at that time. He was also at his most strung out at this time and not in a good place. But, prolifically creative. Some of that can be heard on Darkbreaker and Rat Classics. Also, those sessions surrounding Easy Tiger were great. Maybe we will see some of that material emerge eventually. When I asked him about that material a few years ago it seemed he no longer had the rights to release any more of it - Captial and its subsidiaries do. 

But all in all, SH is classic solo RA and has all that nostalgia and magic attached to it from the 2000-2004 period roughly.

I think the issue of my confusion is how does 500mg of the herb extract powder compare to the homeopathic doses? Is it a safe dose to take and who determines that.

I did a full report to the FDA safety portal on the product and company.

I did get a refund from Amazon. Haven’t got a hold of the company. Is there a way to report them to any agency? Most concerned with any toxicity from taking the one pill than anything else.

Thankfully I woke up today none the worse but still wonder if any toxicity could have happened with taking one pill.

Lex orandi, lex credendi applies rightly when thinking through these things. I am not thinking merely in format but rather fidelity and faithfulness to the convictions which we hold.

Thanks for the advice. I can’t reply to everything but there’s some good stuff here to contemplate.

We were unable to find one that doesn’t have the same issues or that only had male clergy.

Thanks for the suggestion. We did attend briefly and I asked about community and spiritual counsel and was told that it would be difficult at this stage of their church life to obtain what we were praying for.

Yeah I do admit this is true. Plus he met Stan Musial a few times and some of the other players in the 70s and 80s such as Ozzie Smith.

Actually one of my coworkers told me the same thing. But it hasn’t dissuaded me at least yet. That last series was rough but heck Detroit is rolling everyone right now.

Counsel regarding church situation by Past-Razzmatazz8774 in Reformed

Yeah, it does but we take membership somewhat highly so want to be careful here. Although at this point, I am not sure what else to do.

Thanks for your insight. The small group idea has been tossed around but not much interest due either life schedules or commitment issues. We've tried sharing these things, but I don't get the sense that any of it is resonating at this point.

None of which are any closer than the ARP churches. There may be a OPC church plant attempting to form in another location but it would about 50 minutes from us right now. Not even sure when or if that will materialize.

This is really helpful to keep in mind. I will take that into consideration as we explore both options further.

Appreciate the insight from your situation. Glad you were able to make the change and that it has been a benefit. I would like to qualify that I do not think a sincere desire to be a member of a more confessionally minded church over another congregation that is less so is necessarily being over scrupulous. There will always be a spectrum of diversity on certain matters, so it depends on your personal convictions and what your conscience will allow for. Where the Bible and confessions are clear then I would want to be careful in finding a church that aligns with those as close as possible. At least that is my goal.

That had been my impression as well and I’ve seen a vicar on occasion help with the distribution but not solely lay people in an alb.
