![]() The song's raw honesty and vulnerability continue to resonate with listeners to this day. Fire and Rain became a breakthrough hit for Taylor, launching his career and solidifying his place in music history. The song was inspired by the death of a close friend, Taylor's own experience in a psychiatric institution, and his journey towards recovery. He was dealing with personal struggles, including a battle with depression and drug addiction. James Taylor wrote Fire and Rain in 1968 during a difficult time in his life. Fire and Rain is a classic example of Taylor's ability to blend storytelling with beautiful melodies, solidifying his status as one of the greatest acoustic artists of all time. The song touches on themes of loss, struggle, and perseverance, making it relatable to listeners from all walks of life. The heartfelt lyrics and Taylor's soulful voice combine to create a powerful and emotional experience. Heart of Gold – Neil Youngįire and Rain by James Taylor is a timeless acoustic song that has captivated audiences for decades. It was a moment they both cherished, and the song held even more significance for them. As he strummed the heartfelt chords and sang the lyrics, tears welled up in her eyes. After weeks of diligent practice, he performed the song for her during a romantic dinner. One aspiring musician, Mark, devoted himself to mastering "More Than Words" on acoustic guitar in order to surprise his partner on their anniversary. Once you have a good grasp on the chords and strumming, try incorporating the song's signature fingerpicking intro and interlude.Practice transitioning smoothly between chords, ensuring each note is played clearly.Pay attention to the strumming pattern, which primarily consists of downstrokes with occasional upstrokes for added variation.Start by strumming the chords in the correct order, following the song's chord progression. ![]() The song utilizes basic open chords, so make sure to familiarize yourself with the chords required: G, Cadd9, Am7, Dsus4, and Em7.To perform "More Than Words" by Extreme on acoustic guitar, begin by tuning your guitar to standard tuning (EADGBE).Acoustic songs, in their unadorned beauty, evoke a sense of closeness, inviting audiences to experience music in its most intimate and authentic form. This simplicity, however, does not diminish the emotional depth instead, it accentuates the power of the artist’s voice and the resonance of the acoustic instruments. The acoustic medium often serves as a canvas for storytelling, where lyrics take center stage, unfurling narratives with a captivating vulnerability. Whether it’s the melancholic serenade of a ballad or the uplifting cadence of a folk tune, acoustic songs possess a universal appeal, transcending genres and resonating across diverse musical landscapes. The absence of electronic embellishments fosters an atmosphere of authenticity, drawing listeners into the very heart of the composition. In acoustic songs, every strum, pluck, or keystroke becomes a revelation, highlighting the nuances of the artist’s performance. The simplicity of acoustic arrangements allows for an unfiltered exploration of melody and lyricism, revealing the raw essence of the music. Unencumbered by elaborate production, these songs often feature acoustic instruments like guitars, pianos, or strings, creating an intimate connection between the artist and the audience. Acoustic songs, a timeless and stripped-down form of musical expression, weave a delicate tapestry that places the purity of sound and the resonance of emotion at the forefront.

![]() Nobody knows about any conflict where New Zealand was actually succesful or did something spectacular. In New Zealand the only war anybody knows about is the Gallipoli campaign in WW1. To make us remeber the horrors of war so war is less likely to happen again. In today's world we remeber and dwell on the failed campaigns these days. You think no one else understands? War is made to look bad becuase it is bad. ![]() And when we came back we did not understand why? And lastg month, April 2015, was 40 years since the fall of South Vietnam, and the only people that lost Vietnam were the South Vietnamese, and many here still do not understand that simple fact.Īnd still occasionally when an old Huey flies over, it is the sound of those blades that make me stop, and reflect on a youth lost, long before the 'fun' of video games. How many 19yr old gamers of today could of accepted that draft notice and actually play in the real game.we sat there glued to out TV's watching the war, fearing we would be called, fearing that letter in the mail, and watched America change firsthand. And the class is always filled when offered. BTW I teach a history class on the Subject as adjunct instructor.mostly older people 45+ take the class to understand what actually happened, and what their fathers and the whole culture went through, rather than how 'cool' it would be to play a game on the war. The history of Vietnam is popular, making it into an arcade shooter.not so much. And they too have the 20-30 year old players. Popular here and there, and totally ignored elsewhere, but still overall, a pure business loss for Battlefront Minitures. Even the Flames of War Vietnam themed minitures game based out of New Zealand is have trouble making inroads in the US. I do understand the business and political correctness of the undertaking, as it has been discussed in many forums other than here. ![]() I didn’t want to highlight a specific brand because most of the supermarkets have own brand versions of Frazzles, Wotsits, Salt & Vinegar Sticks, Tortillas etc. Start shopping online now with Instacart to get your favorite ALDI products on-demand.

She struggles to produce traces of magic from her horn however, the shock wave from Rainbow Dash's sonic rainboom triggers an uncontrolled release of Twilight's latent power, not only hatching Spike but also enlarging him into the size of an adult dragon, and causing mayhem in the exam room. The test is to hatch a dragon egg with magic. However, Spike gradually loses his gem supply throughout the day as he struggles to keep the pets in control, learning a valuable lesson in responsibility.Īs a filly in a flashback from The Cutie Mark Chronicles, Twilight is faced with an entrance exam for Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns. In Just For Sidekicks, Spike agrees to take care of the ponies' pets in exchange for gems so he can bake a jewel cake. However, Spike still loves collecting and eating gems. At the end of the episode, Spike concludes that he'd rather be generous, because hoarding doesn't compare to giving. He only returns to normal when he sees Rarity wearing the fire ruby he gave her earlier in the episode, and remembers when he gave it to her. As he continues to grow, he develops more lizard-like qualities, such as slit pupils and a long thin-forked tongue, and his voice deepens, eventually degenerating into simple roars.Īs a massive dragon, Spike kidnaps Rarity and wreaks havoc on Ponyville. Zecora explains that his greed makes him grow into a monster. He lets his greed get the better of him, causing him to grow into a gangly "teenager" by the next day. On his birthday, Spike goes around Ponyville and requests gifts from passersby. Spike magically matures through his greediness in Secret of My Excess. In Read It and Weep, Twilight says to Rainbow Dash, "Just because you're athletic doesn't mean you aren't smart!" Spike adds, "Yeah, just look at me," curls his arm, and kisses his bicep, only to get weird looks from the mares. He does this again in The Crystalling - Part 1. In Party of One, when Pinkie tells him to confess, he admits to admiring his own reflection in a mirror when nobody else is around. He quickly reverts to not liking it when he sees Applejack looking at him, but both laugh about it afterwards. ![]() In The Ticket Master, for instance, Spike scoffs at the idea of attending the "girly gala gunk" throughout the episode, but he becomes overjoyed when Princess Celestia sends him a ticket at the end. Spike is often defensive about his masculinity and dismissive of things he considers "girly," although his outward disdain is often a front. Spike has a vision in which Twilight sends him away forever, scaring him. In the The Crystal Empire - Part 2, Spike and Twilight find a door enchanted by King Sombra that shows their greatest fears. When Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash tell Twilight about Spike's insecurity, she says, "Spike knows he can't be replaced." In Lesson Zero, Spike gets worried as Twilight becomes increasingly nervous about the due date for her friendship report. In Owl's Well That Ends Well, he feels insecure and jealous when Twilight finds another assistant, Owlowiscious. Spike is a fun-loving dragon: he enjoys the welcome party that Pinkie Pie throws for Twilight in Friendship is Magic, part 1, and scarfs down candy in Luna Eclipsed. For instance, Spike is the only member of the main cast to take Twilight's concerns about missing a report to Princess Celestia seriously, unlike the others. However, he is very helpful and supportive towards Twilight in Lesson Zero. ![]() In Winter Wrap Up, he makes fun of Twilight's terrible nest-making and skating skills. In Bridle Gossip, he comes up with nicknames for the ponies after their appearances change from an exposure to poison joke: Hairity, Rainbow Crash, Spitty Pie, Apple Teeny, Flutterguy, and Twilight Flopple. Spike is occasionally sarcastic and sometimes laughs at others' misfortunes, even though he usually means well. ![]() Please retry using the default data AHCI controller(Microsoft drivers)ġ5.

For these purposes, the length of the grabber is important to maximize functionality. They are even helpful assistants for cleaning the trim above windows and dusting ceiling fans. Grabbers also are useful for reaching objects from a shelf, replacing the need for a ladder or step stool. Grabbers designed to help those with mobility issues are typically lighter and shorter than grabber tools intended for other purposes, making them easier to handle. For example, they are helpful for picking up trash, eliminating the need to constantly bend over to grab pieces of debris off the ground. These handy tools make reaching objects easier for those who may have difficulty standing or bending over. Grabber tools are designed for several purposes. Ahead, learn more about these and other factors that vary among grabber reacher tools. ![]() While length may be the most important attribute when selecting a tool designed to extend one’s reach, other factors can make a big difference in a tool’s usefulness, including maneuverability, grabbing mechanism, and weight. So when a fabric towel gets wet, as former Wirecutter science editor Leigh Krietsch Boerner put it, “all of a sudden it’s really good at shooting that heat from the pan to your hand.” A wet mitt or pot holder can be dangerous too, but both offer more foolproof protection since you’ll never use them to dry your dishes.Photo: What to Consider When Choosing the Best Grabber Tool Wet fabric transfers heat much better than dry fabric because the thermal conductivity of water is about 25 times higher than that of air. You can also severely burn your hand if the towel is wet-and because you’ll likely also use towels to wipe messes and dry spills when cooking, they’re more likely to be damp than a dedicated mitt. An improperly folded towel can lead to burns, or may flop into the open flame of a gas range as you move a pan around. First, you have to make sure the towel is folded correctly, which takes more time than grabbing a pot holder. Although we appreciate the flexibility of using a kitchen towel, we decided not to include a kitchen towel as one of our picks for a couple of reasons. ![]() In our tests, we also found that our top pick for kitchen towels, the Williams Sonoma All Purpose Pantry Towel, allowed us to hold a hot pan for longer than any glove or mitt we tested when folded over three times. You likely already have these in your kitchen, and they’re a great multipurpose item. Many cooks also like using a kitchen towel to pick up hot pots and pans. However, no glove is as heat-proof as a good pot holder or oven mitt, and most don’t offer as much forearm coverage as an oven mitt. Oven gloves offer more dexterity than mitts and more protection than pot holders, which is why pie expert and author Kate McDermott prefers them for the delicate task of removing a pie from the oven without accidentally smashing part of the crust.But some of our team members prefer them because they’re easier to grab in a hurry, and are less clunky for little tasks like lifting a pot lid or holding a skillet handle. Pot holders are smaller than oven mitts and won’t protect the back of your hand or your arm.The biggest downside to oven mitts is that it takes more time to slip them on than to grab a pot holder or towel. Food writer Melissa Clark says she prefers oven mitts over pot holders or side towels because they offer more protection for her forearms when she reaches into an oven. Oven mitts can be bulky, but they offer the most skin coverage compared with an oven glove, pot holder, or side towel. |
