![]() ![]() Perhaps about a father figure or someone else who is telling him not to do drugs.Īs for the chorus, "One night and one more time" - He's telling himself this will be the LAST night he'll do drugs (e.g. Life" - He's telling people he'll quit doing drugs, but the fact he's doing them is what gives the words meaning. If you don't (if God doesn't take you) "And I want these words to make things right, but it's the wrongs that make the words come to Drugs made him bend and break "Say a prayer, but let the good times roll, In case God doesn't show" - Pray you don't OD but have fun Here's my analysis of the parts of the song that relate to this theory: "I'm gonna make you bend and break" Hannah from Gustavus, OhI agree with Adri about drugs.Emily from Around Chicago, IlLove this song, and I care Paquita :D.And at some parts yes it does sound a bit homosexual (thts not a bad thing ppl!!) if you have a dirty mind. ![]() 3.) The element of drugs in the song probably also led to the references to sex in the song. lol 1.)It is a great song, its very easy to listen to over and over. from C-wood, Cahmm well my view on this is that you are all right. "My eyesight is going bad" may also represent the narrator's reluctance to acknowledge wrongdoing or denial that the friendship will be affected. "Been looking forward to the future, but my eyesight is going bad, and this crystal ball is always cloudy except for when you look into the past" is the narrator realizing how guilty and possibly ashamed they are of what happened, now realizing the friendship may not last (the "future" is the future of the friendship) and that hindsight is 20/20 (it's "always cloudy except for when you look into the past"). The explosive energy of the choruses suggests the climactic moment. They're justifying the action by saying they love the person as a friend, but acknowledging the lust (the other way "I love you" could be taken) would be greatly intensified during the act. "And I want these words to make things right, but it's the wrongs that make the words come to life" = The "words" could be, of course, "I love you" or something similar, and the "wrongs" are the physical actions of the narrator ("taking advantage" of the friend). Hannah from Gustavus, OhIt sounds like it could be about the narrator physically "taking advantage" of someone who is extremely close to them but doesn't reciprocate lust that's been built up over a period of time.Tucker from New YorkThe song name is actually lampshading their overuse of overly long song titles, hence the dropping of letters from words from 'Thanks For The Memories' to 'Thnks Fr Th Mmrs.'.Fake Name To Dump Here from The Great State Of ConfusionWhat, if the title lacks vowels like a play on words because they lack "vows"?.Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind Writer/s: Andrew John Hurley, Joseph Mark Trohman, Patrick Martin Stump, Peter Lewis Wentz One night, yeah, and one more time (one night, one more time) One night and one more time (one night, one more time) One night, yeah, and one more time (oh, oh) I'm a liner away from getting you into the mood, whoa Get me out of my mind and get you out of those clothes In hotel rooms, collecting page six lovers They say I only think in the form of crunching numbers When you look into the past (look into the past) ![]() ![]() It's always cloudy except for (except for) "See, he tastes like you, only sweeter," oh oh oh oh oh Thanks for the memories, thanks for the memories Thanks for the memories, even though they weren't so great In case God doesn't show (let the good times roll, let the good times roll)Īnd I want these words to make things rightīut it's the wrongs that make the words come to life Say a prayer, but let the good times roll I'm gonna make it bend and break (it sent you to me without wings) ![]() ![]() Just seven ingredients and 10 minutes of prep yields loads of happy holidaymakers.

![]() ![]() The use of additives did not make or break our toilet paper picks, but they did inform our evaluation. But its toilet paper is made from recycled papers that may have once been bleached, so it can’t be considered totally chlorine-free (which is most ideal). Our Seventh Generation pick’s manufacturing process is completely free of chlorine. Today almost all toilet papers are still purified and whitened using chlorine-based disinfectants and other undisclosed chemicals. In 1998, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) began requiring most paper mills to limit elemental chlorine from being used in toilet paper production, due to carcinogenic concerns. ![]() ![]() We asked the manufacturers of our top picks whether their toilet paper contained any animal ingredients or byproducts (because some do), and we also asked about what they use to purify and whiten their toilet papers. Additives: Most toilet papers have “proprietary” formulas of chemicals and conditioners that companies typically won’t disclose.Although we didn’t consider FSC certification to be a requirement, we did weigh papers with FSC certification more favorably. Though there are other certifications available, such as from the Swiss Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC, which certifies our budget pick), FSC is considered by environmental leaders (such as the World Wildlife Fund) to have the most rigorous universal standards. Certification: Toilet papers that bear a certification label from the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) have been evaluated by the organization and found to be manufactured with responsibly sourced fibers. ![]() ![]() An unexpected benefit to the wax that Anwander soon discovered was that it could also be applied to car paint. In the 1930s, a wax was produced in Zurich by a man named Hans Anwander, which was designed to protect and restore antiques. The first Ford Model Ts were all painted with the same kind of lacquer that carriages used to be covered with, although by this time, the original wax had fallen out of popular consciousness. This would be the precursor to the auto wax we still use today. A German carriage maker developed a wax made from animal fats that was capable of protecting the black paint that was slathered on horse-drawn carriages. The first step towards auto detailing happened way back in the first part of the 19th century. If there's one thing that's remained constant throughout all of human history, it's that other people will judge you based on your ride - that's why you never see any paintings of ancient royalty mounted on ugly horses. Finally, I maintained the Porter-Cable 7424XP due to its random-orbit operation for use as both a polisher and sander. I also thought that the Flex XC3401VRG was still a viable option, thanks to its direct orbital drive for preventing the transfer of excess heat, making it particularly useful when polishing fancy cars with temperature-sensitive finishes. Maintained the Torq 10FX for its integrated vibration reduction technology. Also kept the DeWalt DWP849X for its durable ball bearing construction and 12-amp motor. Its removable dust cover also protects its components from being clogged by the wool fibers of its pad. ![]() I also maintained the Milwaukee M18 as one of the available cordless options. The soft start feature on both the Rupes Big Foot and Makita 9237C allow for controlled power increases, making them both ideal for precision buffing jobs. The pad and plate on the Adam's Swirl Killer Mini is capable of oscillating in multiple directions, allowing the device to mimic the irregular rotational patterns common with conventional hand polishing. I added the Griot's Random Orbital Polisher for its long 25-foot power cord, 6 speed settings, and hook-and-loop backing plate. That said, I tried to focus on including buffers capable of handling heavy loads, while mimicking natural hand movements in an effort to remove scratches, swirls, holograms, and other imperfections without the risk of user fatigue or wasted polishing products. Unlike many of the older single-stage lacquer and urethane paints, modern automobile paints often have very hard and delicate clear coat finishes that require greater efficiency and more "automated care". ![]() ![]() The budget-friendly Black & Decker WP900 offers a top operating speed of 4,400 random orbits per minute and it also includes two handle grips for added control and stability, regardless of the working angle.Ĭonsidering that a majority of cars have relatively large surface areas with a lot of nooks and crannies to work on, polishing vehicles by hand is not the most effective way to ensure a defect-free finish. ![]() This one also has a side-mounted battery pack, which definitely comes in handy when polishing around wheel wells and other tight spots on a vehicle's surface.Įxpanding on what we said last year about the Flex XC3401VRG, not only does its direct orbital drive serve to prevent excess heat from transferring onto a car's surface, but it also comes with integrated overload protection and temperature monitoring functions. Although it's a bit on the pricey side, its brushless motor improves efficiency, while the rubber gear case overmold makes it easy to hold. The Griot's Random Orbital Polisher has been removed due to availability concerns. We've kept the same trend going in terms of including models capable of handling heavy loads and working with hard clear coats without wasting polishing products. ![]() ![]() ![]() Note that some options within the Resolution section might not be available for selection (greyed out) this is because the inserted picture has already been compressed. ![]() The Compress Pictures dialog box is divided into two sections: Compression options and Resolution. ![]() Doing so opens the Compress Pictures dialog box, as you can see in Figure 3.Within the Picture Tools Format tab, click the Compress Pictures button, as shown highlighted in red within Figure 2.They make an appearance only when you are working with a particular slide object which can be edited using the options within these tabs. Contextual tabs are special tabs in the Ribbon that are not visible all the time. Note: The Picture Tools Format tab is a Contextual tab. This brings up the Picture Tools Format contextual tab on the Ribbon as shown in Figure 1 (highlighted in blue). Open the presentation, navigate to any slide that contains a picture and select it.To reduce the resolution and compress images within PowerPoint 2016 for Windows, follow these steps: However, if you are distributing the presentation in other forms, a higher resolution might be appropriate. A computer screen shows 96 pixels per inch, so you do not need higher resolution than that if you are only showing your presentation on-screen. This roughly translates to dots per inch (dpi) on a printout. Picture resolution is measured in PowerPoint in pixels per inch, or ppi. It does so by reducing the picture resolution to the amount needed for the type of output you specify (E-mail, Screen, or Print). The Compress Pictures feature reduces the size of all inserted pictures in the presentation in a single step. There are options to make any such compression even more effective. Recent versions of PowerPoint do some automatic picture compression, even if you are not aware. However, even if pictures enhance appearances, they can also phenomenally increase the size of your presentation file. Yes, undoubtedly a presentation with relevant pictures is more effective than plain text slides. ![]() ![]() ![]() But California boasts a wealth of other impressive appellations. The state’s most famous red wine region, of course, is Napa Valley, where Cabernet Sauvignon reigns as king. This leads to well-developed fruit marked both by impressive ripeness and balancing acidity. While the state’s incredibly diverse geography, soils and microclimates allow for a wide array of styles, the key factor unifying California red wine is the abundance of sunshine and a long, consistent growing season. In addition, a number of California red wines are heralded as being among the most prestigious and sought-after wines in the world. Red wine accounts for 56% of the total by volume, and red grapes 63% of total acres planted. ![]() "Whether it's one of drama, intrigue or romance, the wines of Apothic are truly original."Īpothic Red wine is a masterful red blend featuring rich Zinfandel, smooth Merlot, flavorful Syrah, and bold Cabernet Sauvignon.

However, when you tell people, 'My great- grandfather was killed here, and I think the mother and the brothers, sisters of my grandfather,' - those victims are getting names those victims are getting faces, and each one had its own life. ![]() You know, people listen to my 'half-million children and 6 million human beings,' and it's a number which does not register with normal people. It's the problem of the Holocaust. It's the numbers. Can an outsider even empathize with such a loss? We stood there in the freezing cold, and then we were silent for a long time. And you told me that more than 40 of your relatives were murdered there by the Germans. In an interview with DW, the 58-year-old described the fate of his ancestors and gave his advice for the generations to come.ĭW: Rabbi Goldschmidt, seven years ago we met at the commemoration of the liberation on January 27 at the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp memorial. The new documents are helping us to find a way among the fog of our false myths or preconceptions.The horror of Auschwitz is part of Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt's family history. To do more is always possible, but in general we often realize it later. He was going to go forward with his genocidal program.” As Coco puts it: “We ask ourselves the question and it is not simple to answer. Hitler, as Brown Fleming puts it, “wasn’t going to be controlled by anything a Pope said or did. Whether the Catholic Church could have done more to prevent the atrocities of the Holocaust is not a question likely to be answered definitively from files. “Six million Jews are murdered they’re certainly not in a position to be taking over the American military presence in occupied Germany.” Overall, Brown-Fleming sees “a lot of fear” in the papers she’s read so far, fears of “a mythical threat that Jews and Judaism pose. “That was shocking to me,” says Brown-Fleming. After the war, in the late 1940s, there were fears at the highest levels of church leadership that Jewish leaders did not have Catholic interests in mind and held huge sway in American military policy. ![]() In 1944, Catholic leadership halted an attempt to host a dialogue between Christians and Jewish rabbis organized by a priest known as Father Marie-Benoît, who risked his life and saved hundreds of Jews. Some of the documents also reveal widespread anti-semitism within the church. Some German generals later convicted in the Nuremberg Trials had helped to defend property and valuable art and tried to avoid damaging Vatican property and cultural treasures in Rome.” “I’m finding that the Holy See wanted to show gratitude for the protection of the city of Rome during the occupation of Rome under the Nazis in 1943. “The justification given for aid to Nazi war criminals was Christian love and mercy,” says Brown-Fleming, whose research focuses on this effort. ![]() The Catholic Church worked to win clemency for convicted Nazi war criminals after the war. At the same time Catholic rescuers were helping Jews, some of those same people were also helping Nazis. In some ways, researchers have found more contradictions than clear answers. “The Vatican dealt mainly with distribution of economic relief and by helping emigrate to North or South America,” according to Giovanni Coco, Staff Archivist in the Vatican Apostolic Archives. There are hundreds of thousands of letters to the Pope from Jewish families begging for help. Over 6,000 Jews were hidden in Rome and on Vatican property. But while the Catholic Church’s top leadership shied away from publicly condemning the atrocities in Germany, the documents also provide information on the Catholics who hid thousands of Jews across Europe. ![]() ![]() ![]()
![]() ![]() If everyone ends up frozen, the game is over and the person who is “it” wins. Players who haven’t been frozen can touch and unfreeze the tagged players. If you want to make the game more interesting, try variants like freeze tag, where anyone who gets tagged has to freeze. As soon as somebody gets tagged, they become the new “it” person. The original Wall Street Journal article stated that one player broke. The person that's “It” must then chase the other players and try to tag them before they can reach the safe zone. Many of the film’s scenes happened for real though and there was no end to the lengths players would go to honour the game. When you’re ready to start, have the person that's “it” count to 10 so everyone else can get a head start running away. To keep everyone from just camping out in the safe zone, set a time limit so they can only be there for a short amount of time-say, 30 seconds. For instance, you might say that nobody can get tagged if they have their hand on the slide. There’s also usually a safe zone where whoever is “it” can’t tag anyone. For example, if you’re on the playground, you might stick to just the gravel or blacktop, and make the grass off-limits. Decide with the other players where the edges of your playing area should be. Tag works best outdoors in a big, open area where it’s easy to run around without tripping over anything or hurting yourself. GUAC-TRACK - A route first used by Xavia Rodriguez Alvarez where the Evader goes from the Sisters, to the Mountain, to the Loading Bay without touching the ground.ĮVASION RATIO - The percentage of Chases that end in an Evasion.ĬHASE TAG® - The one-on-one format of competitive tag with 20 second Chases involving one Chaser and one Evader.To play a game of tag, get together with a few friends and decide who’s going to be “it.” There are a few ways to do this, but one classic method is to say “Who’s it?” The last person to yell out “Not it!” has to be “it.” Next, choose a good playing area. QUAD - The playing area (in the UK, the old-school name for a playground is a quad). More experienced athletes will look to FLUSH the Chaser out of high EQ areas quickly and efficiently. ![]() TAILING - A technique used by the Chaser where they follow the same path as the Evader (generally considered an inferior strategy).īENNY HILL - When the Chaser runs round and round the same (usually high EQ) obstacle to try to catch the Evader (generally done by inexperienced athletes). THREADING - Diving or sliding though a tight space on the Quad, like through the Ridge or Loading Bay SPIKE - A Chase that lasts less than 5 seconds (Jason Matten).ĬENTRE CONTROL - A technique used by the Chaser to regain control of centre of the Quad after an attempted Tag (Marrero Gang). IDLING - A technique used by the Evader to hide behind a high EQ obstacle and waste the Chasers time / run down the clock while expending the least amount of energy (Marrero Gang). PINCH POINT - Areas on the Quad where the Evader has limited options to escape (Marrero Gang). REVERSE HERDING - A technique used by the Evader to draw the Chaser into areas on the Quad that are harder to make a Tag (Marrero Gang). HERDING - A technique used by the Chaser to corral the Evader into areas of the Quad that will make it easier to make a Tag (Marrero Gang). The higher the EQ, the more the protection (Jason Matten). ![]() If a winner is not decided after one round of Sudden Death (for example, if both Chases end in an Evasion), the process is repeated.ĮQ (EVASION QUALITY) - A hypothetical value representing how much protection an obstacle (or area on the Quad) provides for the Evader.The Evading team must send out their athlete first.The 25 second rest period between Chases does not apply during Sudden Death and teams have up to 3 minutes to decide which athlete to send out.The team that gets the longest Evasion Time wins.To be unfrozen, someone must touch them and must yell out the name of. A Sudden Death Chase-Off consists of two 20 second Chases where each team gets to Evade. In this variation, when the person who is it tags someone, they are frozen in place.If a match ends in a draw, it goes to a Sudden Death Chase-Off.If an athlete steps out of bounds, they lose that Chase.when the Evader lasts 20 seconds without getting caught). A team is awarded one point for each Evasion they make (I.e.The winning athlete in each Chase stays on as the Evader for the next Chase.There is a 25 second Rest Period between Chases.Each Chase is 20 seconds long with one Chaser and one Evader.It is a team format that is played by two teams of up to 6 athletes.WCT national Championships, WCT4, WCT5 etc.). ![]() This is our most popular format and is used at our main events (eg. ![]() |
