Last season, leading vote-getters included Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (it’s not his fault he was hurt and shelved by Oklahoma City), Michael Porter Jr. It would be unfair to give this list too much power, but it would also be unfair to discredit it entirely when past predictions have most definitely panned out. Like many, GMs portend to see a true emergence as Mann’s role increases with Kawhi Leonard sidelined. They did so likely keeping in mind his bevy of breakout performances in increased minutes last postseason - which included a 39-point explosion to close out the Utah Jazz, one that featured a 20-point third-quarter scoring barrage and helped erase a 25-point deficit. They listed Mann as a player receiving votes for being among the most likely to experience a breakout season in their annual preseason survey, alongside names like Atlanta’s DeAndre Hunter, Cleveland’s Darius Garland, and Memphis’ Jaren Jackson Jr. General managers seem to believe it, too. Just under a six-hour drive south, down in Los Angeles, is Terance Mann, the Clippers swingman who, at the ripe age of 24, feels primed for a breakout season. ![]() He’s been a machine, and it feels as though he’s blossoming into one of the league’s most promising young players in real-time. He was even better against the Lakers last Friday: 28 points in 25 minutes. Against LeBron James and the Lakers on Tuesday, Poole dropped 18 points in 19 minutes. And before you say “it’s only preseason,” note that while not everyone may be going 100 miles per hour, the competition is still robust. Through the NBA’s preseason so far, he’s putting up 23 points on 51.6 percent shooting - not to mention 40 percent from three - 3.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 1.3 steals per game. ![]() Up in Oakland, Jordan Poole, the third-year Warriors guard, is experiencing a bit of a boom in prospective promise. ![]() Something seems to be in the water in California. ![]() ![]() ![]() To prepare for a successful Class A RV boondocking experience, you’ll need to make sure your rig is properly-suited in the following ways: Power Supply ![]() Essential Items for Class A RV Boondocking Let’s have a look at what you need to do to have all of these amenities while living in the lap of nature’s luxury for a while. How do we do all of this without hookups?! And we still want to cook dinner, make our morning coffee, and stay connected to news (well, maybe not news) and loved ones (definitely loved ones).

One of Matplotlib’s most important features is its ability to play well It received an early boost when it was adopted as the plotting package of choice of the Space Telescope Science Institute (the folks behind the Hubble Telescope), which financially supported Matplotlib’s development and greatly expanded its capabilities. John took this as a cue to set out on his own, and the Matplotlib package was born, with version 0.1 released in 2003. IPython’s creator, Fernando Perez, was at the time scrambling to finish his PhD, and let John know he wouldn’t have time to review the patch for several months. It was conceived by John Hunter in 2002, originally as a patch to IPython for enabling interactive MATLAB-style plotting via gnuplot from the IPython command line. Matplotlib is a multiplatform data visualization library built on NumPy arrays, and designed to work with the broader SciPy stack. We’ll now take an in-depth look at the Matplotlib tool for visualization in Python. ![]() ![]() Once you have one of these tools at hand, you’re ready to tune your mandolin.

Quality is very consistent (unlike Schaller), and price is good if you buy a few sets direct from the factory, and are prepared to wait for them to be manufactured. However, I would recommend the teflon bearings, they are much smoother with this option. They are made in the old East Germany part of Germany and there is a large range of options available, some of which are rather nice (e.g. I have been using Rubners on my flatttops and have been quite impressed with these tuners. Have fiddled with them and they are improved, but not sure I would buy another set unless the vintage look was important. The black plastic buttons are a bit cheesy and can be improved with a bit fine sanding and polishing. Not smooth and some inconsistency in stiffness. However, I was somewhat disappointed with them. The look is certainly right, they look almost identical to a set of vintage tuners I have in the worn out spare parts drawer. Just received a set of golden age tuners from Stew Mac. They don't hold a candle to Waverlies or Alessi, but cost a lot less. Mandolins have strings that are in pairs, which are tuned to exactly the same note.

So, it's form, function, aesthetic, feel, etc. (000-15S, and the tuners were worth 1/3 the cost of the guitar!) Grovers worked just fine, but I LOVED the look of a certain set of brass Waves with Snakewood knobs. One set was stock (on my D-18VS), one set the previous owner installed (000-18GE), and one set I put on after replacing the cheapy-looking pearl-knobbed stock units with Grovers. Definitely a place to discuss tuner swaps! On my Martins, I've got Waverlys. And then, where some replacement units fit directly, some require minimal modifications, and some are just not worth the hassle because it would require too much drilling and cutting and retrofitting. You might be happy with AM, or the slightly better FM, but there are others that appreciate HD Radio. Probably more like when you upgrade your car stereo. Each mfr has a slightly different configuration with respect to shaft spacing, screwhole location, gear configuration, etc. Part of the issue is that it's not standard, like a set of tires that come in a thousand sizes for every application. I've also had some that have had NO PROBLEMS whatsoever. tuners that slip, tuners that bind, tuners that feel crappy in my fingers, tuners that look cheap, tuners where the button has cracked and fallen off. you haven't had problems, so you don't understand why people stress out about it.

Like that hit, "Throwback"'s sensitively treated soul sample provides a nostalgic tint that complements the wistful, regret-filled tone of the lyrics. "Yeah!"'s crunk-meets-R&B foundation, featuring an instantly addictive eight-note keyboard vamp and one of Usher's most muscular turns, is so absorbing that Ludacris' 1500th guest verse floats by with little notice. On the other side of the coin, the smartest move Usher makes here is in allowing the Lil Jon-produced "Yeah!" to take its rightful place as the only club track any attempt at doing something stylistically similar would've failed miserably in its presence. At an hour in duration, it could be stripped of five songs and be far more powerful, especially since no one would have to do any wading to get to the meaty parts.

![]() ![]() More: All you need to know about Azur Lane Aurora Noctis eventĪdmittedly, I thought her attitude was disconcerting at first. ![]() She’s pretty much the opposite of the kind and sisterly Howe. So imagine my shock when I first interacted with her and found myself face to face with a pouty, passive-aggressive ship girl instead. Given her look, I was expecting her to portray a kind and dignified countenance. Perseus’ graceful design also serves as a strong counterpoint to her surprisingly, uh, rough personality. This is especially true for fans of the original “Clash of the Titans” movie from 1988, where protagonist Perseus’ was gifted a mechanical owl named Bubo. The addition of an owl, which is typically associated with the Greek goddess Athena is also a nice touch. The Azur Lane illustrations by artist KIncora - who also worked on Dido, Formidable, Sirius and Tashkent - have always been among my favorite designs in the game.įrom her fluttering hair, billowing dress, angel wings and elegant rigging, Perseus exudes an almost heavenly look that projects an anime-style design with Hellenic sensibilities. The muttering, mumbling angelįirst off, let’s talk about her design. Now that I’ve got plenty of experience using the ship in battles, I figured now is a good time as any to share my thoughts about Her Majesty’s newest healer. I’ve since used Perseus, not only getting her at max limit break and past Level 100 but also maxing out her skills. ![]() More: How to get Hiryuu Meta, Ashes ships from Azur Lane's Operation Siren Needless to say, I was pretty stoked once that telltale timer of 2:30 popped up during special limited construction while I was throwing cubes at the build menu. But as someone who likes ships with unique or offbeat mechanics, Perseus was the one that really caught my eye when the previews first started coming out. Well, actually, Howe is more than pretty good, she’s really good. Perseus was actually the ship that I was looking forward to the most when the Aurora Noctis event was first teased. Chalk it up to two pre-loaded heals that can heal both your vanguard and the backline as well. Perseus is arguably the best healer in the game, not just for the PVE campaign but for the new Operation Siren mode as well. I'm talking about the English light carrier with a Hellenic twist, Perseus.ĭon't let her pouty muttering fool you, however. With the release of the Aurora Noctis event, Azur Lane released the Kraken by welcoming another healer to the fold. ![]() ![]() The most impressive trait of the Ruko F11 Pro drone is its battery life. But if you want to hear more, I’ll break it down feature-by-feature so that you can see these specs for yourself. Its battery life exceeds that of similar models from Holy Stone and DJI otherwise, there’s nothing wrong with being in third place. Its camera is great for the price, it has many good smart features, and it’s very compact. ![]() There are plenty of good things about the Ruko F11 Pro. And weight may be its biggest double-edged sword while its hefty 1.14 lb./517.1-gram bulk means you have to register it, it might have granted it coveted level 6 wind resistance in exchange. The F11 Pro’s biggest downside is its weight I’ll get into that more later, but other drones do most, if not all, of what it does while being lighter. The only problem is that there are better drones on the market. But how does it stack up against the drones of today? I can’t believe they stuffed all of this in a drone in 2019 and priced it how they did. The Ruko F11 Pro is chock full of features that make me go, “only 300 bucks? Really?” These include a decent camera, smart features like “follow me,” “return-to-home,” wayfinding and hand gestures, and more! It’s also got a 4K camera and amazing battery life. When I say this drone can compete with a DJI, I mean it. We’ll look at what this drone has inside, and then see how those features stack up to other drones around $300. This review will detail every feature of the Ruko F11 Pro: camera, smart features, weight, and so on. It is not a trick drone, just a solid beginner drone. The biggest thing it has going for it is an advertised 1 hour of flight time, but there’s a catch. It has a 4K camera and many “smart features” that make flying it safe and fun. It’s meant to fly around and take photos with few frills but plenty of functionality. The Ruko F11 Pro is a solid general-purpose drone. Professionals may want to look elsewhere. These functions make it an excellent drone for beginners and a good choice for the price. ![]() It’s a good drone with a 4K camera and user-friendly smart features. This drone first came out in 2019 and has held up pretty well. I’ve been flying drones for a while and love comparing them, even if it’s been a few years since they were released. This is my review of the Ruko F11 Pro drone. ![]() ![]() While near $47 grand seems like a lot, this Limited Edition Santa Cruz pickup truck has every option Hyundai can put on it. The total MSRP manufacturer’s suggested retail price, including the $1,225 destination charge, came to: $41,540.Īfter adding in the state and local sales tax, plus the DMV and dealer fees, the total purchase price is: $46,733. The options on the press truck are: the Sage paint for $400, and the carpeted floor mats for $195. This week Hyundai sent me the brand new for 2022 Santa Cruz Limited Edition AWD all wheel drive compact pickup truck with a base price of $39,720. This is the engine you really want, with more HP and torque, to make the Santa Cruz pickup truck run and drive like a compact sports car. The optional motor is a turbocharged 2.5L liter 4 cylinder engine that is paired with an eight speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and puts out 281 hp and 311 lb-ft of torque. ![]() It puts out 191 horsepower and has 181 lb-ft of torque. The base motor is a non turbo 2.5L liter 4 cylinder engine paired with an 8 speed automatic transmission. The Santa Cruz is currently available with two engines. ![]() Max towing is between 3,500 and 5,000 pounds, which is strong enough for towing a small camping trailer, a set of jet skis, or your boat. The Santa Cruz has some impressive numbers when you consider its compact size. ![]() The new Hyundai Santa Cruz shows it really is a compact crossover SUV, with a pickup bed grafted onto the back end. This car-like construction results in a more comfortable ride and handling, than a truck with body on frame construction would, and it has great metrics when it comes to off road, towing and hauling payloads. This is a compact pickup truck that uses unibody construction instead of the traditional body on frame pickup truck underpinnings, and it shares a basic platform with the redesigned 2022 Hyundai Tucson crossover SUV. The Bottom Line: What is a Santa Cruz? The Santa Cruz is an all new pickup truck from Hyundai, and it’s their very first truck. ![]() ![]() ![]() The cost of stringing a violin can vary depending on the quality of the strings and the type of violin.
