![]() The PC meets a book reading uncle turning into a ghoul so he can have more time to read (the art shows the ghoul in clothes while in the adventure it is naked). An approach like that would have hooked me.Īfter surviving the solo adventure, I found Paper Chase to be cheerful and light hearted. In the boarding house basement I find evidence not only of previous doomed travelers but also the bicycle which I later use to escape. The secret the girl at the boarding house provides a bonus die to break my chains later. If the village contained secrets my PC needed to find to survive I’d be spurred on to investigate. I also saw a glimmer of what Call of Cthulhu could be. It looks to be more robust and maybe will give me a better play experience. I saw enough promise in Alone Against the Flames to buy the PDF Alone Against the Frost. It wasn’t satisfying to me as a player looking for investigation and using uncovered secrets to survive. The way to survive involves making a successful strength roll and finding a random bike, fighting some villagers or a bear, or sneaking away. However, all the rituals you uncover as secrets kill you.

![]() ![]() ![]() If you play any other ascending row of eight consecutive naturals you will find many different sequences of intervals but A minor is the only natural minor scale using only the white keys. In 'whole step-half step' notation the interval sequence is written whole step - half step - whole step - whole step - half step - whole step - whole step. If we write down the intervals between the notes rather than the key names then the A minor scale is tone-semitone-tone-tone-semitone-tone-tone, seven intervals between eight notes. What makes this a natural minor scale is the distinctive sequence of tones (whole steps) and semitones (half steps). The key note is called the 'first degree of the scale', B is the 'second degree of the scale', and so on. As in major scales, each note must bear a different 'letter' name and the different notes are called the degrees of the scale. Music written using the notes of this scale is said to be ' in the key of A minor'. This sequence or row of eight notes is the A natural minor scale, the natural minor scale in which the key-note is A. Starting from the key marked A below middle C (that is, the key C with an asterisk), play the naturals (the white keys) in ascending order, A, B, C, D, E, F, G and finish on the A above middle C. We have marked the notes A in pink on the keyboard below and our first natural minor scale is going to begin on A. It is called the natural minor scale or ancient minor scale. We are now going to look at another scale that is important in Western music. ![]() In lesson 8 we first met the major scale. The Natural Minor Scale :: Chart of Natural Minor Scales :: Double Sharps & Flats :: Harmonic MinorĬhart of Harmonic Minor Scales :: Melodic Minor :: Chart of Melodic Minor Scales :: Relative & Parallel Major & Minor Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1722-1834) English poet Swans sing before they die - 'twere no bad thingĭid certain persons die before they sing. Previous lesson :: next lesson :: contents :: index :: manuscript paper :: comments or queries? To do this, all you need to do is use the roman numerals in the chord progression and match it with the roman numeral on your chord scale chart.Īnything with a 6, 7, 9 after it, is an extension chord, lowercase = minor, and uppercase = major.To use the menu you must first enable javascript ![]() This is really easy to do, and you can use these chord progressions in any scale. Now you know how to play the A minor scale – well done! You can use pre-made chord progressions that already sound good to create chord melodies rapidly. Now you know the chords in the A minor scale, it's important to know which notes make up those chords. A (root note – use the major scale of this) minor (quality – use the minor spelling) Which Notes Make Up The Chords of The A Minor Scale? If you do, you must use the root note of the chord you are trying to create and the major scale of that root note – even if it isn't a major chord.Į.G. This is a repeatable process, so you can do this for all the chords in the A minor chord scale. Doing this, will give you the correct notes you need to play in order to make up the C major chord.įor example: take the C major scale, count the 1 note (C), then the 3 note (E), then the 5 note (G). Now, if we take the 3rd chord as an example (C major), because it's C major, you'll need to use the major key and the major spelling to work out the chord. If you don't know your basic triads, no worries! You can use chord spellings to work out the notes in each chord. Now, if you know your basic chord shapes, you'll be able to play the A minor chord scale. Therefore the A minor chord scale is as follows: This will work out the order of chords and the quality of each chord. Minor: minor, diminished, major, minor, minor, major, majorīecause you're working in the minor key, you'll need to use the minor chord scale formula.Major: major, minor, minor, major, major, minor, diminsihed. ![]() ![]() Roy Kinsey – Kitchen, Barber, Beauty ShopĤ0.

Having said that, you can download the updated version of the manual in PDF form on the HP site.Īpparently build quality of newer models is not as good as older ones. These days you'd download that as a PDF, but it is very nice having it as a spiral bound book for easy reference and flipping through. The 12c also came with a large instruction manual that is itself a mini course in arithmetic, and the critical calculations needed for accounting. The back of the calculator provides a cheat-sheet for some calculations. While today we are in the habit of charging our mobile devices every day or so, the 12c can run for months before its tiny button cells need replacing. Instead of increasing the overall thickness, the engineers, just raised the height slightly at the rear (where the batteries are stored), and this serendipitously also helps with typing on the keypad.Īnd the third battery does make a difference. The top surface has a very slight tilt to it, which apparently was a late design change driven by the desire to add a third button-cell battery. Rubber feet on the bottom mean that it resists sliding around your desk. To my fingers, they are not particularly ergonomic or quick to use, but I'm far from expert with it, and presumably you get used to it. The keys require a fair amount of force, and have a distinctive trapezoid shape with sloped front faces. It's surprisingly light weight, but feels sturdy. (Apparently the 12c is so unchanged after more than three decades that it's still running much the same arithmetical code that Harms wrote for it.) In the Hand He initially was involved in writing the software code for doing calculations, and then was promoted to project manager for the 12c effort. The project manager was a man named Dennis Harms, who had a recently acquired PhD in numerical analysis when he joined HP. There's a good chance the case design and graphics were done entirely by an engineer. I haven't been able to find any information on the designer of the 12c, and at that point in HP's history there may not have been a distinct design role. This also shows the evolution of our gadget culture - today all products are "consumer" looking, but in 1981 a high-end calculator was seen as more of a tool than a desirable consumer product, and so was styled and built accordingly, with an emphasis on rugged functionality. Compare it next to Sony Walkmans of the time, for example, which were much more high-tech looking (in an eighties kind of way), even though they were really just analog/mechanical cassette players and not state-of-the art computing devices. Its utilitarian styling and gold-tone brushed metal panel would have looked more at home in a Radio Shack or Heathkit catalog from the 60's. When it came out in 1981 (same year as the IBM PC), the HP12c would have looked rather old-fashioned even for that time. The 12c was the first calculator by HP to employ RPN, and a few others adopted it since. In addition to reducing the number of keystrokes in some situations, other benefits cited by fans of RPN are that it doesn't require thinking about order of operations when doing longer calculations (eg multiplying happens before adding, or putting parts of the calculation in parentheses in order to force a specific order), and reversing of mistakes doesn't require starting over. For a simple comparison, here's how to multiply 4.3 by 2.7: The feature which makes it both beloved and at first confounding is its use of Reverse Polish Notation, or RPN. Even at that price it was an instant success. But when it was launched on September 1, 1981, it retailed for $150 (equivalent to over $400 today). Today the 12c can be bought for under $50. ![]() ![]() ![]() Set each dial on Epic's new tab page to one of your choice.

![]() ![]() “The houseboat, which is located at the end of a story-book dock with a flower-lined entry off of Westlake Avenue North in Lake Union, is one of the most iconic properties in Seattle.” – Puget Sound Business Journal With more than 2,000 square feet, it’s the largest floating home on Lake Union. Thanks to that listing, we know it was built in 1978 and has 4 bedrooms and 2 baths. The houseboat used for the film went on the market in 2014 Second choice? Kim Basinger, who said the premise was “too ridiculous.” The role of Annie Reed was originally offered to Julia Roberts, who turned it down. Jonah doesn’t like his dad’s new girlfriend (or her laugh) and wants his dad to meet Annie instead. Even though this scene where he and Suzy’s husband Greg (Victor Garber) pretend to cry over the plot in The Dirty Dozen was totally improvised, it proved to be one of the most memorable. ![]() Rita Wilson, Tom Hanks’ real-life wife, played his sister Suzy in the movie. I guess women like to fantasize about having a man who could design their dream home for them! □ Sam is an architect, which is one of the most popular “movie careers” for men in romantic movies. Sam (Hanks) is a widower with an 8-year old son named Jonah, who’s determined to find him a new wife. ![]() The movie was written and directed by Nora Ephron, who has a knack for bringing beautiful houses to the big screen, like Bewitchedand You’ve Got Mail.Įphron was inspired by An Affair to Remember, the classic tear-jerker starring Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr. Still, Seattle boasts one of the country’s largest houseboat communities. The houseboat population peaked in the 1930s, at about 2,000, but has since dropped to around 500. Houseboats have been common here since the 1890s, when fishermen and dock workers in Elliott Bay built homes on rafts.ĭuring the Depression, low-income laborers took advantage of the geography and built or moved into tax-free houseboats. Okay, so the houses aren’t really boats because they never leave the dock, and they’re technically called floating homes, but that just doesn’t have the same ring as a houseboat, does it? The Houseboat from “Sleepless in Seattle” The real houseboat from the classic Tom Hanks-Meg Ryan romantic comedy Sleepless in Seattle went on the market recently, so I thought it would be fun to revisit it and the sets that were designed for the movie. ![]() |
