The diagram below illustrates which piano keys correspond to the G, C, E, and A notes. ![]() This method involves playing notes on the piano and tuning the respective string on your ukulele until it sounds the same as the piano note. If you have a tuned piano (or a keyboard) available, then this is a great way to tune your ukulele because pianos can be used as a reference. It’s worth noting that there are alternative ways to go about relative tuning this is just one of them. This method is quite fiddly and can take some getting used to. Play the G string and tune it until it sounds the same as the A string. Finally, place your finger on the 2nd fret of the G string. ![]() Play the C string and tune it until it sounds the same as the E string. Now put your finger on the 4th fret of the C string, and this note should be an E. Begin by playing the E string with your finger on the 5th fret, which should be an A note, and tune the E string with the tuning pegs until it sounds the same as the A string. We have broken the method down into steps below: By assuming that this one string is in tune, we adjust the others. With relative tuning it is ideal to begin with one string that you feel is somewhat close to being in tune. It involves tuning the strings relative to one another, so it is a bit tricky and not always 100% accurate, but it’s okay if you’re playing alone or as a last resort. Relative tuning is a method you can use when you’re really stuck and have nothing available to help tune your ukulele. Some tuning apps that we recommend are: Pitched Tuner, gStrings Tuner. Phone Ukulele Tuner Appsįun Fact: There are apps that do this exact same thing! You can go download it on your smartphone right now, and start tuning! This is very convenient for on-the-go tuning, and it can be a much cheaper alternative. NOTE: Set your tuner to 440hz, no flat symbols, if it has these functions. Adjust your tuning knobs according to the readings until it's in perfect tune. Play a string on your ukulele, and the device will tell you if it's in tune or not. To use a chromatic tuner, is very straightforward. This allows you to check the intonation of your ukulele as well as adjust to non-standard tunings. A chromatic tuner would be the best option, because it will detect every single note. Some tuners are instrument specific and may only tune certain notes. Electronic Ukulele Tuning With A Chromatic TunerĮlectronic tuners are a very simple way to tune your ukulele. To create a more rounded even sound, some people prefer to string their ukulele with a low G string rather than a high G. The open strings on a ukulele are most commonly tuned to the notes G, C, E, and A. Of course, the way you choose to tune your ukulele depends on what you have available at the time, but it’s good to know how each approach works. You’ll learn about using electronic tuners, relative tuning, tuning with a piano, and with a guitar. ![]() On this page we’ll talk you through the different ways you can tune a ukulele. Before you start playing your ukulele, it’s always best to make sure it’s in tune.

5/18/2023 0 Comments Boondocking map![]() Much like all the Camino routes it has a strong season to it too, with summer being the most traveled and winter the least (in fact many Albergues even shut down over winter). Of the latter 93,193 walked a central route while only 30,609 walked along the coast. In 2022 (which was a Holy Year mind you) 438,000 pilgrims requested their Compostela (completion certificate) in Santiago of which 123,802 arrived via the Portuguese Way. In fact it’s the 2nd most popular route to Santiago de Compostela and the numbers are not insignificant. The Portuguese Way is the 2nd most popular Camino The Camino in Portugal is just one of thousands of routes to Santiago de Compostela It’s A Popular Route TooĪlthough the French Way is the most well-known Camino, the Portuguese Way doesn’t track far behind. The other routes see far less foot traffic. The majority of pilgrims chose either the coastal or central route (the two most popular trails) walking from either Lisbon (longer route, ~30-35 days) or Porto (shorter route ~12-15 days). You can walk the entire thing along the coastline, or do the whole thing inland you can start at the bottom or half-way up you can crisscross between coast and trail or you can veer waaay inland or you can do a mix of them all.Įach of these paths has their own name too the “Central route” (goes through the middle), the “Coastal Route” (as you’d expect), the Spiritual Variant” (a new little squiggly bit in the north), the “Fatima Route” (an alternate inland stretch from Lisbon), the “Camino Nascente“ (a less-travelled route starting in Tavira) and so on and so forth. This is because the Portuguese Way is not just one path, but a multitude of them. We’ll be starting in Portugal and walking south to north, but in addition to that we’re also combining several different trails. This year is going to be quite different. It was IMO the perfect path for a first Camino. There are hundreds of paths, thousands of them even, and last year I walked the most popular (and well-known) route, a ~780km trail that starts in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port in France, commonly known as the “French Way”. Those of you who’ve been following the blog a while already know that the Camino is not just one path, but literally any pilgrimage that leads to Santiago de Compostela in NW Spain where the remains of the Apostle St. Lots of ways to walk the Camino in Portugal Here we go… Let’s see how this goes, eh? The Portuguese Way Is More Than Oneįirst things first, I thought I’d talk a bit about the path itself. My bags are ready, my flight is booked, many of our Albergues are already booked (it’s Easter Week, so it’s likely to be busy) so I thought I’d take this opportunity to test my toes in the waters of blogging again and tell you a bit about what we’re going to do. The Camino gives you what you need, not what you you want. Yet I really hope some parts will be, and I also know I must open my heart to all the new things it can be, because one thing is certain and constant: I know it won’t be the same as last time, I know that. The hope that I’ll actually be able to fly out of France next Thursday (there’s a few disruptions going on here at the moment, as you may know) and the anticipation of what this Camino will be like. The fact that this time I’m walking in a new country with folks I’ve planned with beforehand. Maybe there’s a happy middle-ground somewhere? Time will tell what this Camino brings I want to record this trip for myself (and for those who dream of doing the same), but I’ve really come to dislike the shallowness and grind of the online world. It’s no secret to my readers that I’ve struggled with social media these past months. Since I’ve done this, since I’ve blogged and told stories, since I’ve shared my life online. In fact I might be a little too chillaxed about the whole thing? ![]() I haven’t trained as hard and am not nearly as fit. ![]() I don’t have same the fears as I did last time mostly because I’ve already done it, but that’s also made me a smidgen lazy. Life distilled down to its simplest elements, strangers turned friends by a common goal and your body pushed to acknowledge both its hidden strengths and obvious weaknesses. It’s strange and familiar all at the same time.įamiliar for the routine that I know is to come. Wheeeeee! Hello world, hello Camino training Four nights before I (hopefully) get on a plane and sail through the sky to Portugal for my 15 day adventure on feet. 5/18/2023 0 Comments Quick n easy web builder reviewWix, Squarespace, and other website builders are great, don’t get us wrong.īut, as “all in” professional website builders, we prefer WordPress and HostGator hosting when building our sites for two main reasons: How to create a website with WordPress Why we prefer WordPress for website creation No support (there are some forums, but sometimes no one will be able to figure out why your site’s not working).Takes a long time to build a site (even when you know what you’re doing).Limitless website creation possibilities. ![]() Some good places for beginners to start learning include: That being said, if you’re looking for a new hobby and love to geek out, it can be pretty fun to learn.

Top 20 hits, like “Every Beat of My Heart,” “Letter Full of Tears,” “I Heard it Through the Grapevine” and “If I Were Your Woman,” set the stage for an amazing run in the mid-1970s, with Top 10 gold-certified singles like “Neither One of Us (Wants to be the First to Say Goodbye),” “I’ve Got to Use My Imagination,” “Best Thing to Ever Happen to Me” and the #1 smash “Midnight Train to Georgia” established Gladys Knight and The Pips as the premiere pop/R&B vocal ensemble in the world. With Knight singing lead and The Pips providing lush harmonies and graceful choreography, the group went on to achieve icon status, having recorded some of the most memorable songs of the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. The group debuted their first album in 1960, when Knight was just sixteen. The group was renamed Gladys Knight & The Pips, and following George’s departure in 1962, the classic line-up was in place. In 1959, Brenda and Elenor left the group, replaced by cousin Edward Patten and friend Langston George. They called themselves The Pips in honour of their cousin/manager, James Pip Woods. Three years later, she won the grand prize on television’s “Ted Mack’s Amateur Hour,” and the following year, her mother Elizabeth Knight created the group consisting of Gladys, her brother Bubba, her sister Brenda and her cousins William and Elenor Guest. Georgia-born, Knight began performing gospel music at age four in the Mount Mariah Baptist Church and sang as a guest soloist with the Morris Brown College Choir. This seven-time Grammy winner has enjoyed #1 hits in Pop, Gospel, R&B and Adult Contemporary, and has triumphed in film, television, and live performance. Very few singers over the last fifty years have matched her unassailable artistry. The great ones endure, and Gladys Knight has long been one of the greatest. ![]() If you do score a bounce and are allowed to continue playing, the next hit you take will cause the pendulum to swing faster. Penalties can cause the removal of one or more of your players. Stopping the pendulum in the yellow or red extremes on either side of the meter elicits a penalty (it's as if you wiped). Triggering it as it passes the green center gets a bounce call, which is the equivalent of a retry and won't cause any penalties. To avoid some unnecessarily speedy demises, WXP has developed a sports game-like cheat pendulum that appears whenever a player gets shot anywhere that's not directly in the face. ![]() ![]() In real paintball, getting hit means warming up the sidelines. Because we're dealing with paintballs, it's important to manage accuracy, drop, and trajectory to score hits. While snapping and diving and sprinting, you're still going to have to fire. Should you get into trouble while sprinting, press the prone button to forcefully dive into the ground. While sprinting, it's not possible to shoot, but you can run full speed through the ranks of the enemy to reach a better vantage point before getting picked off. There's also a stamina bar that governs sprinting. From behind cover, this makes it possible to switch the marker into the left hand and then snap out to the right, exposing as little of your player as possible. All it takes to switch shooting hands is a quick button tap. Lean Machine Perhaps even more important than snapping is determining which hand to put your marker in. The snap is still just one part of Hastings' depth, however. Just set the snap direction and snap to it. This makes peeking around corners, cramming the upper half of your character's body into a wall for cover, and even leaning over the tops of logs easy and intuitive. Pressing and holding another button will then snap the character in that direction. With one button it's possible to cycle through three snap directions: left, right and up. Instead of the typically useless lean button most shooters throw at us, Greg's Paintball offers the snap. There're obviously shoot and reload buttons, but after that, the game gets pretty deep. Tournament Paintball forces its participants to use environmental cover.Ĭonventionally, one analog stick is used for looking and the other for movement. Still, players here won't aimlessly wander out into the thick, guns blazing. While most of the venues we've seen are relatively small in size, they keep the fighting fast, giving Tournament Paintball a quick, vicious feel. On the Earth and in the game, obstructions are all meticulously placed to make the action more intense. The arenas in which pro players go at it are designed for this. Real paintball is a game of reflex, cooperation, and terror. Like actual balling, Hastings' Tournament offers up plenty of bunkers, trees, fences, mounds, rocks, logs, and pipes for cover. These environments are actually based off real world sites. It's about methodically moving through roughly 20 locations with nearly 180 variations. Played from the first-person, Tournament Paintball offers an intense kind of action that feels more like Rainbow Six than Halo. 5/18/2023 0 Comments Call of duty rule 34![]() Rule 35 is connected to rule 34 in Fortnite.

Rule 34 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provides for discovery and inspection of documents and things in the course of developing a case for trial. Failing to adhere to these restrictions can lead to an array of consequences including sanctions in some cases. But certain objection practices-many of which are commonplace among attorneys-are explicitly prohibited by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Objections are critical tools that allow attorneys to protect clients’ interests and rights. Objecting to discovery requests is a routine but significant part of the discovery process. |
