In my music theory class we just finished up talking about major chords and have moved on to minor keys and the chords involved in them.

According to my understanding the following chords are in a minor key:
i, ii (diminished), III, iv, v7, VI, VII7 (half-diminished)

Why is the VII half-diminished? How does one go about writing a half-diminished chord? I understand that a diminished chord has two minor 3rds stacked on top of each other. Keeping this in mind, does this mean that a regular VII triad would be diminished?

And since you can have a half-diminished chord can you have a half-augmented chord? Could a triad ever be half-diminished?

Any imput would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

First I am not married but I am in long, serious relationship, with the talk of marriage coming up frequently. My boyfriend and I are 5 years apart in age, I am still finishing up with college, while he has a stable job etc.. We both love eachother very much but there is one "problem" and it is on my end. When I first met him, I was a virgin, and he was/is my first "real" boyfriend. Well, because of the age difference, obviously, he has been with other women before me. It bothers me a bit, but because of my lack of inexperience, I find myself very jealous of some of his ex's-for different reasons. When I get jealous, I take it out on him, which is killing our relationship. Also, sometimes I feel like its not fair that if we get married he would have been with five women while I would have only been with him. Im not against just being with him, but because of that I get VERY insecure. I feel like I'lll never be sexy enough, good in bed, etc. Any tips, advice, stories would be helpful!

Okay, I have a basic gingerbread men cookies recipe I've been using for a couple of years. But I want to try and add that pumpkin pie stuff in a can to it this time! Do you have a recipe for it, or do you know a website that has one similar? I would appreciate it if you shared it with me please and thank you!

I have never used any video editing software and was going to start by trying to use windows movie maker. I don't know how to connect the vcr to the pc. Is there a standard usb to av wire connection cable that I need for windows to recognize my vcr or camcorder. It is an analog camcorder. Is it better to buy different software that comes with the physical connection hardware? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm interested in transferring analog video from vcr/camcorder to dvd and also editing (making highlights from transferred video).

First one who posts the correct answer wins. No cheating using calculators. ok here's the question: s+2=38 the square root of s. Now take the square root of s and divide it by 6. Take that number and add it to 4,167. Now subtract that number by 612. Now divide it by 50. Your answer? (remember when dividing there may be a remainder. if there is remember to put it there in your answer)

Before the MySpace frenzy. Before the Internet & text messaging. Before Sidekicks & iPods. Before MIKE JONESSS Before PlayStation2 or X-BOX. Before the 5 hours of homework you put off every night.

I had an assignment on the Scarlet Ibis, 6 questions, this was the one that befuddled me: In the beginning of "The Scarlet Ibis" the author uses the word clove, look up a definition that fits this context.

The text is, "It was in the clove of seasons, summer was dead but autumn had not yet been born, that the ibis lit in the bleeding tree."

By the context I'm asuming that it means at the end of one or in between two seasons, or something of the sorts. But my teacher says we need to actually have a definition from a dictionary, not our assumptions from context.

Any help?

Determine whether each function is linear or quadratic. Identify the quadratic,linear, and constant terms.
1.y = x + 4
2. y = 2x2 - (3x - 5)
3. y = 3x(x - 2)
4.f(x) = x2 – 7
5.y = (x - 2)(x + 5)
6.g(x) = -7(x - 4)
7.h(x) = (3x)(2x) + 6
8. y = x(1 - x) - (1 - x2) 9. f(x) = -x(2x + 8)
