11/27/2023 0 Comments 69 el camino ss engine options![]() The finish is obviously shot but the body appears to be mostly rust-free (“hardly” any rust according to the seller), a major accomplishment for a GM “A” body of this generation, especially one, that based on its exterior appearance, has seen substantial outside time. The seller states that this 56K mile Chevelle belonged to a friend who purchased it new and stopped driving it in the early ’80s – no reason given as to why. One big difference between ’68 and ’69 was the inclusion of a three-speed automatic transmission as an option in ’69 ’68s and earlier model years only utilized a manual transmission. That is about twice the number assembled in 1968 and an increasingly popular option in spite of the fact that it was not advertised, referenced or promoted. The seller correctly states that this Chevelle is one of 9,486 L78 versions produced for the ’69 model year. It is located in Kenwick, Washington and is available, here on Facebook Marketplace for $31,500. ![]() This find appears to be rather intact, so let’s look at it closely. It seems that when one of these turns up it is either a number 1 condition, trailer queen specimen, as in completely restored to the hilt or a “youstabee” that has long since lost its original engine and a lot of other important stuff. While the 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS396 was certainly Chevy’s mid-size go-to muscle car in that august year, the L78 equipped version with its 375 HP engine was the holy grail.

11/27/2023 0 Comments Touch lungo cups nespresso![]() Nonetheless, the VertuoPlus received a higher-than-average taste score compared to other machines we assessed. One of the only criticisms we had was that the espresso shots were occasionally on the thinner side and didn't have a long-lasting taste that stays on your tongue ( what experts refer to as "body"). This flavor combination, as opposed to something one-note and overly roasted, is ideal for espresso shots. The espresso shots we tried contained both a bold punch and an undertone of sweetness. It offers a choice between drip-style coffee and espresso, and there are four drink sizes in total: Espresso, Double espresso, Gran Lungo, and Coffee. Despite its comparatively low price, the VertuoPlus is well-built and can hold up to daily use. First off, it's one of the most affordable Nespresso makers, so it fits any budget and is a low-stress investment for customers looking to try the brand for the first time. The VertuoPlus is a well-rounded Nespresso model that suits an array of coffee lovers. It's more expensive than most Nespresso machines (not to mention that Nespresso capsules themselves are pricey), but we think the convenience and versatility make it worth the money for those interested in a long-term, top-of-the-line coffee maker.Ĭategory: Original | Milk Frother: Built-in | Water Tank: 34 ounces | Capsule Container Capacity: 14 capsules | Heat-Up Time: 25 seconds | Dimensions: 7.9 x 14.4 x 10.8 inches | Warranty: One year ![]() One last detail to consider is the Gran Lattissima's price. Some users report that the milk spout drips for a while after use, but we didn't come across this issue. The Rapid Cappuccino System requires a little more upkeep instructions say to remove it from the machine, disassemble its six parts, and place them in the dishwasher or wash them by hand. Nespresso recommends using the cleaning function after every use. Once finished with your coffee, cleanup is simple thanks to the item's self-cleaning function, which forces steam and hot water through the milk spout. We also found its heat-up time second fastest out of the 11 machines we tested. It took just 20 seconds for an espresso shot and 50 seconds for a cappuccino. This is true for most Nespresso makers, but the speed is especially notable here considering the variety and complexity of drink options. After testing the machine firsthand, we found it was super versatile and easy to tell what drink you're choosing because of the labeled buttons and LED display.Īnother benefit of the Gran Lattissima is how quickly it brews. Users can select a shot of espresso in three different sizes or several milk-based drinks like lattes, cappuccinos, latte macchiatos, and flat whites. The Gran Lattissima takes Nespresso's signature one-touch brewing to the next level by offering an impressive nine drink options. 11/27/2023 0 Comments Bobby rush tour dates 2017![]() The author of twenty-eight books and a Grammy nominee for The Nikki Giovanni Poetry Collection, she is the University Distinguished Professor of English at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia. ![]() The finale of the show consisted of everyone returning to the stage to perform "Take Me To the River." This was a great evening of "passing the torch."Ĭopyright © ConcertLivewire.Nikki Giovanni, poet, activist, mother, and professor, is a seven-time NAACP Image Award winner and the first recipient of the Rosa Parks Woman of Courage Award, and holds the Langston Hughes Medal for Outstanding Poetry, among many other honors. He is indeed the last standing original soul man of Memphis. Bell displayed that charisma that has dubbed him the 'love man.' The energetic three-song set included "I Forgot To Be Your Lover." Al Kapone returned to the stage to perform the song with Bell. He is credited with the hits "You Don't Miss Your Water" and "Born Under a Bad Sign." He has inspired everyone from Snoop Dogg to Melissa Etheridge. William Bell was the first male vocalist signed to Stax Records in 1961. It was an amazing a treat to see these legends at their best.

He had his metal case filled with harps in front of him. The only thing missing was his classic jump.Ĭharlie Musselwhite, kept the uplifting vibe going with his three-song set. Fans who are familiar with Rush, expect nothing less than a riveting set. He reminded the crowd that he has been recording for 66 years. Master showman, Grammy winner, and harmonica wizard, 84-year old Bobby Rush brought the house down with his three-song set. Rapper, Al Kapone took command of the stage with his "New Jewelry." The band and the background singers backed up Kapone, It gave his rap the lush Memphis sound groove. Rapper Frayser Boy joined Riker for a duet on "Sitting On Dock of the Bay." It was a surprisingly seamless collaboration. The songs were very familiar tunes that are still relevant to this day. Riker's vocals were very silky smooth and true to the original performances. Riker is a recent graduate of the Stax Music Academy and the Berkley Music Academy in Boston. Sharisse Norman followed by Ashton Riker sang hit songs by Al Green and Otis Redding. The fast-paced show started with the band performing a Willie Mitchell instrumental, "20-75." Both were recipients of this year's Americana lifetime achievement award." Memphis churned out hit records for Al Green, Otis Redding, Ann Peebles, and Ike and Tina Turner to name a few. Mitchell explained, "They played on 26 gold and platinum records in a month. From the "Hi" rhythm section, Charles Hodges on organ and Leroy Hodges on bass played in Willie Mitchell's original recording studio. Two of the original sessions musicians were playing in the band on the tour. Lawrence "Boo" Mitchell, son of the late Willie Mitchell, served as the master of ceremonies for the evening. The performers on the tour are also in the movie. ![]() It is an adaptation from the documentary movie "Take Me To the River" released in 2014. A more accurate description would be that it is a blending of classic rhythm and blues with modern hip hop and rap music, a new generation. However, that is an oversimplification of what this tour is about. It is a collaborative effort by legendary blues artists Charlie Musselwhite, William Bell, and Bobby Rush performing the music produced by Stax and Hi records during the 1960s and '70s. "Take Me To the River" explores the Memphis sound. Even though these communities are in close proximation, their music is very different. New Orleans, Nashville, Muscle Scholes, and Memphis are four of those places. There are special places in the United States that have given birth to a special sound of music.

Okay, this is a slightly obvious, yet slightly important one: Migrated here from Gna! bug 19207 because this is such a frequently requested feature.The shape selection tool used to be called the “default” tool. Sometimes, an artist may wish to simply move something they had drawn, either to make room for something else, or to reposition something mispositioned. This cannot be done unless there are tools to create a selection (either through circles, squares, freeform, etc.), and cut/copy/paste/move/otherwise transform it (or the entire layer's contents)Īs long as its not as overly complicated as The GIMP's excuse for this feature (which requires going through 3 different tools to move/resize/etc.), this would be great. Some mockups would be nice: it's fairly obvious how selection creation should work, but how to work with selections? What should the user be able to do with them? No time to work on this before 1.2, deferring it again. Transform to a layer (& thus to a mask?).Accept brushstroke dabs only within the selection.It's fairly obvious how selection creation should work, but how to work with selections? What should the user be able to do with them? ![]() Firealpaca crop canvas to selection how to# Editing selection, via adding to or removing from the current lection via brush strokes ('paint' a selection).It's not even obvious how creation should work. Create selection from boundaries of image or frame, analogous to " select all".Sometimes done via handles on the current selection, or by allowing add/subtract behaviour with normal selection methods. With MyPaint's infinite canvas, may only be able to approximate it based on the image size or the frame settings. Shorthand for cut, create new layer, paste to layer. Shorthand for cut->new layer->paste to layer->move layer->merge Basically a way to save a selection for later. ![]() Apply transformations on the selection, such as rotating, resizing, etc.Set MyPaint's image frame to the selection (or closest possible rectangle), as an analogue to Select->Crop behaviour.Some of this would be out of scope for MyPaint, probably, because it's not trying to be as complex as Gimp or Krita, but it helps emphasise how complicated selection and related operations can be. I probably missed some other uses that don't immediately come to mind, too. I bolded the ones that I think appear most often (and are generally expected) and can't be emulated with combinations of other selection-related actions. I had a random idea about selection tools, and that's that it would be cool to have a "selectify" modifier. Similar to eraser mode, it would turn the current brush into a brush that affected the selection instead of drawing. It could be combined with eraser mode to "cut away" That's what I was referring to when I listed "selection via brush strokes ('paint' a selection)" as a selection creation method. A good reference for it is Krita's "Brush selection tool", which is what I had in mind when I listed it. When you pick that tool it uses the brush engine to "paint" the selection area, with eraser mode erasing selections it even works with all of the brush engines it supports.Īlso, is skew functionality really that important? It doesn't seem like it. Probably not, though it's part of the standard set of functionality included when you get into that sort of selection transformation UI - usually called "free transform" or something similar.

In 2019, the company hired Brad Garrett on a sweepstakes event. In quarter one of 2019, Zynga Poker was 15% of Zynga's total revenue, after being 21% of that revenue in the first quarter of 2018. " At the time, Zynga was partnering with World Poker Tour. In November 2018, Zynga Poker reported its mobile revenue falling 3% that year, with bookings remaining flat, with Zynga stating the game was "still recovering from the platform changes imposed by Facebook in. Zynga Poker introduced a new "Spin and Win" mode in its World Poker Tour Tournament Center in 2019, essentially combining poker with a prize wheel. After added competition in the market, in 2018 analysts said that Zynga lost its market share in social casino games, with only a 6.1% market share. In 2018, Zynga Poker accounted for 23% of Zynga's game revenue. In the first quarter of 2017, the company reported a loss, although revenue was rising compared to the year prior. In 2014, Zynga Poker was Zynga's flagship game and its top-grossing game. VentureBeat said in 2015 that Zynga Poker's players were increasingly moving to social casino games, with the overall social poker game industry struggling largely "due to the struggles of Zynga's Poker app, which dominates the marketplace." Also, Zynga Poker's CEO and games head left around that time. After the revamp in 2014, players "forced the publisher" to bring back a "classic" version of the original poker game. In 2014, Zynga Poker "commanded 61 percent of the total social poker revenue market," and each month earned between $9 and $13 million. According to Jeff Grubb of VentureBeat, the change was unpopular with users, who believed that Zynga was "throwing too many unwanted features in the way" of playing poker. In July 2014, the game received a major update. Īccording to a 2014 article by Dean Takahashi, about 350 million have played Zynga Poker, and the game has millions of daily players. In July 2012, Zynga announced that it would be providing real-money gaming outside of United States in 2013. ![]() According to a March 2011 ESPN article, with 38 million players, Zynga Poker at that time was the largest poker site in the world. In March 2011, Zynga Poker hosted PokerCon, a live poker tournament at the Palms Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was created and launched in July 2007 by a team consisting of some of the founders of the company including Justin Waldron, Michael Luxton, and Eric Schiermeyer.

The XP Mode package contains Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3. XP Mode was a short term application compatibility solution that was built on Microsoft Virtual PC and bound by license to run on Windows 7 only. The system requires Microsoft Virtual PC software installed and hardware virtualization support from the processor. When you start a link to a program from the menu, the virtual operating system will automatically start up in invisible mode and the selected application.

Strings are collections of alphabets, words, or other characters. Dynamically typed languages are the languages where the type of data an object can store is mutable. That is because it is a dynamically typed language. Note that in Python, you do not have to explicitly state the type of the variable or your data.

"Float" stands for 'floating point number'. You can use an integer to represent numeric data and, more specifically, whole numbers from negative infinity to infinity, like 4, 5, or -1. In the next sections, you'll learn more about them! Integers Python has four primitive variable types: They are the building blocks for data manipulation and contain pure, simple values of data. These are the most primitive or basic data structures. The former are the simplest forms of representing data, whereas the latter are more advanced: they contain primitive data structures within more complex data structures for special purposes. Generally, data structures can be divided into two categories in computer science: primitive and non-primitive data structures. This implementation requires a physical view of data using some collection of programming constructs and basic data types. Now, data structures are actually an implementation of Abstract Data Types or ADT. Abstract Data Type and Data StructuresĪs you read in the introduction, data structures help you to focus on the bigger picture rather than getting lost in the details.
