Sarah Palin Rants for Republicans in Georgia, Denies Trump Lost
Sarah Palin, former Miss Wasilla and Alaska TV sportscaster, once part-time Temp-Governor of Alaska, failed reality TV star and Fox News commentator, and John McCain's biggest mistake, is now campaigning in Georgia alongside QAnon-embracing Congress-creature-elect Marjorie Taylor Greene. She's in the Peach State in support of corrupt conservative GOP Senate candidates David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler, now in close races ahead of the January 5th runoff election. Ms. Palin echoed false claims that Trump didn't lose the presdential election, and spoke Friday as part of the "Save America Tour," funded by the right-wing Club for Malignant Growth. which also booked conservative ciruit celebs Ted Cruz, Rick Scott, Jim Jordan, and Lee Greenwood.

Another Temp Job for Sarah Palin?
Sarah Palin, former Miss Wasilla, once part-time Temp-Governor of Alaska, losing GOP Vice Presidential candidate and failed Fox News commentator, told CNN's Jake Tapper she'd like to be Secretary of Energy in President Trump's cabinet so she could dismantle the agency. Mrs. Palin is pretty good at demolishing things — look at what she did to John McCain's presidential campaign.
Despite lack of evidence, Senator McCain thought Mrs. Palin knew lots about energy. The "Energy Secretary Palin" idea was first mentioned by Newt Gingrich during his 2011 quest for the GOP presidential nomination, probably to quash talk of putting her in the VP slot. And while Mrs. Palin has occasionally opined about abolishing the agency, John McCain suggested it as far back as 1994.
Sarah Palin is, quite literally, in bed with Big Oil — her husband Todd worked for BP in the North Slope oil fields of Alaska for 18 years and only resigned after his wife left the governorship. And back in the days of high-priced oil, royalty payments from Alaska oil and gas producers kept her state's government running despite Governor Palin's budget disasters.
But perhaps Mrs. Palin wants to abolish an agency she heads simply due to her proclivity for short-term jobs. She was appointed to her first state job on the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission in 2003 and quit after 11 months; elected Governor of Alaska, she assumed office in December 2006 and resigned in July 2009 after serving 20 months, much of that time spent on her failed vice presidential campaign. Sarah Palin was hired as a Fox News Commentator in 2010, dropped in 2012, re-hired, and dropped again in 2015, and had reality TV shows on TLC and the Sportsman Channel, both cancelled after one season.
What Mrs. Palin really knows about energy policy would fit on a "Drill-Baby-Drill" bumper sticker. She has no idea what the job involves and confuses it with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). But Sarah Palin does have one prerequisite to be Secretary of Energy: Good Hair.

Must-Wince TV: Palin + Trump
Sarah Palin, former Miss Wasilla, once part-time Temp-Governor of Alaska, losing GOP Vice Presidential candidate and failed Fox News commentator, interviewed GOP front-runner Donald J. Trump on the mighty One America News Network on Friday. Outtakes:
Palin: "This is a movement of Trumpeters or Trumpservatives or whatever these folks are called. He's avant garde, and crushing it in the polls. … he wants to connect with you, to those who are going to show up at the polls and elect the next leader of the free world."
Trump: "If you look at what's happening with this country, it's so sad. You've pointed it out for years." "I have to tell you, you're a terrific person."
On another occasion The Donald said that, even though she's no longer a 10, he would welcome Mrs. Palin into a Trump Administration, something Hockey Mom hasn't ruled out.

Sarah Palin" Back on TV News … Kinda
Sarah Palin, former Miss Wasilla, once part-time Temp-Governor of Alaska, losing GOP Vice Presidential candidate, and failed Fox News commentator, is back on TV again, in a way. She will helm the show On Point with Guest Host Sarah Palin on the mighty One America News Network for 5 whole nights on the week of August 24th. They'd offer her a longer contract, but she'd probably quit halfway through, like she did as Governor of Alaska.
Mrs. Palin has a long history in broadcasting. studying media at five colleges in six years (one of them twice) before graduating, then working as a TV sportscaster on an Alaska station for months.

Sarah Palin Fired by Fox. Again.
Sarah Palin, former Miss Wasilla and once part-time Temp-Governor of Alaska, has been let go by Fox News, where she impersonated a political commentator with the same authority she brought to the losing 2008 GOP presidential campaign. She had been fired by the network before. In 2013 Fox News ended their three-year relationship with Mrs. Palin. Of course, that was a year longer than she lasted as Alaska's governor.

Sarah Palin Launches TV Network
Sarah Palin, former Miss Wasilla, once part-time Temp-Governor of Alaska, losing GOP Vice Presidential candidate and failed Fox News commentator, is launching her own on-line TV network, the Sarah Palin Channel. Run on free-market principles, it'll cost you $9.95 a month or $99.95 a year. A comment on Gawker suggests you go monthly, since Palin will probably quit after 6 months, like she did as Governor of Alaska.

Sarah Palin: Fox News Rerun
Sarah Palin, former Miss Wasilla and once part-time Temp-Governor of Alaska, will return to Fox News, where she previously impersonated a political commentator with the same authority she brought to the losing 2008 GOP presidential campaign. Six months ago Fox News ended their three-year relationship with Mrs. Palin. That's a year longer than she lasted as Alaska's governor. She was brought back by Fox News Chaiman Roger Ailes (who has called her stupid) as a stunt to counter competition from CNN, and probably for less money than before. She'll contribute to morning gabfest Fox & Friends.

Palin Kicked Off Fox News
Sarah Palin, former part-time Temp-Governor of Alaska, has ended her relationship with Fox News. Mrs. Palin impersonated a political commentator on the cable news outlet with the same authority she brought to the 2008 GOP presidential campaign, and Fox was tired of looking like John McCain.
Sarah Palin was on Fox for three years, a year longer than she was Alaska's governor, but may draw on her other past experience in future endeavors. The former Miss Wasilla would be a great spokesmodel for products like Naughty Monkey high-heeled shoes or Bushmaster assault rifles. And Mrs. P, who now has a home studio, was once was a sportscaster on an Anchorage TV station. Here's an aircheck we're submitting to ESPN:

Palin Canceled by Fox News?
When Sarah Palin, the former Temp-Governor of Alaska, was signed by Fox News as a political commentator, it looked like God's Own Plan. The word now is that Mrs. Palin may be fired by Fox or, more precisely, her contract will not be renewed. We should have known after the conservative cable outlet scratched her spots at the GOP Convention and she responded with a Facebook snit.
The Discovery Network canceled Sarah Palin's Alaska after a single season, a half-season longer than she lasted as Alaska's Governor. An attempt to sell another "reality" show (America's Got Moose or something) failed.
There is no truth to the rumor that Fox is replacing Sarah Palin with Tina Fey, since we just made that up. You read it here first.

Q: how upgrade ubuntu 16.04 to 20.04 without Internet access How can I upgrade Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS without Internet access?

A: Skipping over releases as you are trying to do is generally regarded as a bad package management decision and discouraged, especially if you don't have an internet connection. You should also think about whether Ubuntu 22.04 LTS would be a better choice for you than Ubuntu 20.04 LTS because it's newer and better. This is an ideal opportunity for you to do a fresh install of Ubuntu 22.04. If you don't have an internet connection don't select the options to download updates and third-party software when installing Ubuntu.

Swift Six: How to find influencers on Twitter
By Nick Leech - March 12, 2016
In the latest Swift 6, I'll be taking you through a few ways of finding influencers on Twitter. Social media influencers are great because they can help you connect your business with your target audience. That means you can generate leads and sales. The video is below and as always if you have any questions just leave a comment and I'll get back to you.
Hide Transcript
Hello and welcome to another 123-reg Swift 6. This week we're going to be talking about six ways for you to find influencers on Twitter.
Before we get into it, it's worth saying that we're not looking for general influencers on Twitter. We're looking for influencers who might influence your customers or your potential customers to visit your brand or to come and buy from you or to read some of your content. So we're not interested in pop stars, politicians or general journalists. We're interested in particular influencers whose opinions your potential customers are likely to be influenced by.
Number one – The first thing you can do is actually take a look at who already follows you because it might be that you already have influencers who are following you. That might be because you've met them, that might be because you're talking about topics that they're interested in. But take a look at who follows you.
What you're looking for are people with lots of followers but you're also looking for people who have lots of followers and who aren't following as many people. So look for a ratio of followers to following of at least 2:1, but actually the higher it is, the better. The more influential someone is, the higher that ratio is going to be. It might be that someone's really influential is being followed by ten times as many people as they themselves are following. So take a look at who is following you, identify those with high followers and, of course, those who aren't following as many people. So it's about that ratio.
The second thing to do is to use Twitter as a search engine. So search on Twitter for the topic that you're in, your specific topic area. Twitter will automatically list the most popular tweets and the most popular accounts for that topic. So it's then worth you just looking through that page to see which accounts Twitter thinks are most influential and most authoritative on that topic, and use those as your influencer list on Twitter.
The third thing that you can try is actually using Google. So search on Google for your topic and see which editorial sites come up. Because Google, of course, if you search for a particular topic it's going to return a set of results and websites that it thinks it's most authoritative. Take a look at the editorial sites, the sites that include articles rather than sites that are necessarily selling something, although some of them might of course be selling something but have a very influential blog, and that's ok too.
But look at who is the actual writer on those websites, who are the journalists or who are the writers or who are the bloggers who are contributing to those highly authoritative sites. They are your influencers. So don't necessarily follow the particular website on Twitter but take a note of who the writers are that contribute to those sites.
A fourth way to find influencers on Twitter is using a tool called Buzzsumo. If you read much on our blog here at 123-reg or if you've watched many of these episodes, you'll see that I talk about Buzzsumo a lot. It's a fantastic tool that gives you a great picture about which is the most popular content on social media and on the web, but also it can tell you who is the most influential within a particular topic area.
So you can search Buzzsumo for authors or bloggers or influential people around a particular topic. So let's say that you have a running shop. You can search for "running" and just include within that search a checkbox for bloggers and influential people, and it will return you a list of people on Twitter who Buzzsumo is rated as carrying influence. Carrying influence means of course that other people take note of what they're saying, they click on the links that they share, they retweet their opinions to their followers.
The fifth thing that you can try is a new tool actually from Buzzstream. If you work in SEO it's a brand that you're familiar with. Buzzstream have launched a new tool called Buzzstream discovery. It's in beta but it's currently free. We'll include a link to it below.
Buzzstream discovery is very simple. You can just search on your topic and Buzzstream will return to you all of those people on Twitter that is considers are influential. That means again, yes, they are followed by lots of people and people take note of their opinions but it also takes note of how they're contributing editorial, are they writing, are they contributing to blogs and how popular are those blogs. So that's an interesting new tool called Buzzstream discovery.
The sixth thing that you can try is to search on Twitter for #Journorequest. So if you use something like TweetDeck to manage your use of Twitter and of social media, set up a column with the search #Journorequest. This is used by journalists when they are looking for feedback, for help and advice from the general public or from people within particular niches to help them to complete a story. They will ask a question and use the #Journorequest.
It's a perfect opportunity when something comes up that's relevant to your niche (of course, many won't be) to answer that journalist's request in a helpful and interesting way. And then, of course, you've been able to identify a relevant influencer that you're going to want to connect with. So that's really the sixth way to find an influencer on Twitter.
That was it, the Swift 6 – How to find influencers on Twitter. We'll see you next time.

An estimated 50 percent of Ecuador (about 14 million hectares) was forested, about half of this in government-owned lands. Although officially contributing only 4 percent to Ecuador's GDP, the forest resources were important because of wood's wide use for fuel and rural construction. Erosion and deforestation from widespread cutting of timber for fuel had emerged as significant national problems in the 1980s.
The original forests in the Sierra had long ago been cleared to provide space for pastures and wood for fuel and construction. Eucalyptus trees introduced from Australia in the 1800s supplied the Sierra with fuel and construction material and helped prevent soil erosion. In the 1980s, the northern province of Esmeraldas contained most of the forests in the Costa and supplied the majority of the country's wood. The jungles of the Oriente contained several thousand known species of trees, the most valuable of which was the balsa. Isolation from population centers and lack of roads hampered exploitation of the Oriente's resources, however. Other forest products included cinchona bark for quinine, ivory palm nuts for buttons, and kapok from the ceiba tree for mattress stuffing.


Cleaning Ormolu Clocks is a relatively easy thing to do if you use the right cleaners.
Firstly remove the movement and then the bezel containing the glass front cover. That can be cleaned as one. As with a lot of these clocks they will be quite ornate and would have been put together in sections by small nuts and bolts. Undo these carefully noting their positions for putting back later and take apart each section.
I would not suggest that you clean the movement this way, if it is really dirty it is best to get a professional clock repairer to clean it.
Mix up in a plastic container the right measure using HOROLENE CLOCK CLEANING CONCENTRATE using a 7 to 1 mix with water. Make up enough so that the fluid completely covers the piece or pieces of the clock case when submerged, if any piece of brass is exposed to the air it will discolour from vapour marks and will be hard to remove.
Always do the smallest part first, to test the result.
Another cleaner that can be used is CLOCKCLEAN concentrate. Both these items can be found on the Internet.
Note that these chemicals contain Ammonia so use in a well ventilated area.
The amount of time the pieces are left in the clock cleaner varies depending on how dirty the item is. Usually 4 or 5 hours but can be left longer if need be up to 24 hours.
Once the item is clean remove from the cleaner and rinse in hot water and dry off with warm air i.e. hair dryer.
When the clock cleaner has been finished with, it can then be poured into airtight bottles, jars etc. and kept for the next time. It will last in that way for some considerable time and can be used for numerous applications.
If you would like advice on cleaning clocks , please get in touch by completing this short form.

Q: D3.js Animate Labels with ease bounce or linear effect I have to implement a pie chart like this link http://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/4341574 but with labels and lines till the centroid of the arc.
any idea how can i rotate the lines too
    polyline.transition().duration(1000)
      .attrTween("points", function(d){
                  this._current = this._current || d;
                  var interpolate = d3.interpolate(this._current, d);
                  this._current = interpolate(0);
                  return function(t) {
                    var d2 = interpolate(t);
                    var pos = outerArc.centroid(d2);
                    pos[0] = radius * 0.95 * (midAngle(d2) < Math.PI ? 1 : -1);
                    return [arc.centroid(d2), outerArc.centroid(d2), pos];
              };
        });

Ideally by the time your garden turf has been delivered to your home in Luton your garden will be fully prepared for laying turf. Ensure your garden is ready by removing your existing layer of turf by using a spade or a turf cutter. Clear the area of all remaining roots, weeds and stones during the removal process. Keep a flat and even laying surface and dig the entire area down using a fork to approximately six inches.
It is vital for new turf delivered to you to be laid as soon as possible. Turf begins to deteriorate the longer it is rolled up. Ideally you will need to begin laying garden turf within 24 hours of delivery. If this is not possible keep your turf rolls in a shaded area. Begin laying turf keeping it along a straight edge from one end of your garden to the other, continue this procedure producing a similar pattern to brickwork. You will need to make sure the grass has full contact with the topsoil throughout the laying process. It is an ideal practice to avoid walking on the lawn turf during the laying process to prevent footprints, by using a crawling board you can ensure that your turf remains flat and smooth. Avoid using small pieces of garden turf along the edges as turf tends to dry out. Cut off any overlapping excess of lawn turf using a sharp blade or lawn edger tool.
Now your turf is laid it is essential to water your newly laid turf, ideally water in the evenings to keep evaporation to a minimum.
Keep a close eye on your new lawn by lifting a corner of the turf every few days or so. After a short while you will begin to see the roots of the lawn turf to take to the soil. Continue to water until the turf has completely settled.
For a complete guide see our turf laying resource. For further details on lawn maintenance our turf blog is updated regularly with tips and guides on growing the perfect garden lawn.

UCLG believes in the power of networks, in the multiplier effect of synchronizing thousands of local and regional actions at global level.
Across the world, local and regional governments are working to advocate for change, implement the global agendas, learn from one another, and track their progress towards the achievement of the global goals.
It is UCLG's mission to showcase and multiply the impact of this work through "Waves of Action" by our members and partners.
What are UCLG Waves of Action?
In the spirit of focusing on the implementation of the global agendas and of amplifying the work of the network, UCLG organize actions in the form of Waves of Action.
Advocacy: UCLG will continue to defend the right to housing in the framework of the Right to the City at global level, as expressed in the Bogotá Commitment adopted in October 2016. We will promote debates on housing among our members to build a common narrative and strategy to influnce the discussions of the High Level Political Forum (HLPF) on the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11.
Learning: A learning session on financing housing: the Committee on Finance and the CSIPDHR together with UCLG Learning team will organize a peer-learning session on financing affordable housing at local level.
UCLG is also actively involved in "Make the Shift", a movement we led by the UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Adequate Housing, Leilani Farha, in partnership with the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights. Make The Shift seeks to mobilize a large range of actors at worldwide level to push for housing to be seen as a human right and a social good, rather than as a commodity.
Monitoring: The next Gold Report (GOLD V) will focus on the way local governments contribute to the achievement of SDGs. One of the chapters, in the framework of SDG 11, will focus on the role of local governments in housing policies and on the enabling environment required to allow local governments meet the needs of people, especially the poorest, in terms of housing.
Advocacy: The governance of migration and the inclusion of newcomers in cities are topics that UCLG links to sustainable urban development and planning, because today's migrants are the citizens of tomorrow. This approach is part of UCLG's mission to promote the right to the city, access to basic services, guarantee of human rights and participation processes.
The implementation of this approach requires, on the one hand a change in the narrative on migration at local level, by promoting and highlighting the inherent opportunities to sound policies on the inclusion of migrants and, on the other hand, a better multi-level coordination and strengthening capacities and local resources.
In this context the global policy will build on positions and experiences from different parts of our network particularly, CEMR, Metropolis, UCLG-MEWA and UCLG-Africa. UCLG will bring these messages to the framework of the Global Compact on Migration, a process of intergovernmental consultations and negotiations to provide a framework to protect human rights of migrants.
Learning: The Mediterranean City to City Migration project (MC2CM) was a laboratory where 7 peer learning sessions have been hold on issues related to governance of migration and inclusion of newcomers at local level. This work will continue during the second phase of the project, by including more cities from the Mediterranean basin and sub-Saharan Africa, as well as national associations of local governments, as agent of knowledge and practices capitalisation and transfer.
UCLG will also continue the work beyond the Mediterranean to replicate and extend focus on migration to other parts of the world with the support of the regional sections, the committees and the international partners.
Implementation: As part of the MC2CM project, UCLG accompanied the implementation of pilot projects, building the capacity of local authorities to deal with migration realities and the inclusion of migrants. The second phase of the project will continue this implementation at the local level.
UCLG will continue to promote the action of its members, in relation to the implementation of the SDGs, the inclusion of migrants directly contributing to the achievement of many sustainable development goals for inclusive, safe and resilient cities.
Monitoring and evaluation: The second phase of the MC2CM project, which will be launched in 2018, will make possible to evaluate and monitor the actions implemented by cities in terms of governance of migration and inclusion of migrants.

Apollo (originalmente Apollon musagète y conocido como Apollo musagetes, Apolo Musageta y Apollo, líder de las musas) es un ballet neoclásico en dos cuadros compuestos entre 1927 y 1928 por Ígor Stravinski. Fue coreografiado en 1928 por George Balanchine, en ese entonces de veinticuatro años, y el compositor contribuyó con el libreto. La escenografía y el vestuario fueron diseñados por André Bauchant, aunque en 1929 se realizó un nuevo vestuario de Coco Chanel. La escenografía fue ejecutada por Alexander Shervashidze, y elvestuario del estreno fue realizado bajo la dirección de Mme. A. Youkine. La mecenas estadounidense de las artes Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge había encargado el ballet en 1927 para un festival de música contemporánea que se celebraría el año siguiente en la Biblioteca del Congreso en Washington, DC.

La historia se centra en Apolo, el dios griego de la música, que recibe la visita de tres Musas: Terpsícore, musa de la danza y el canto; Polyhymnia, musa del teatro; y Calliope, musa de la poesía. El ballet toma como tema la antigüedad clásica, aunque su trama sugiere una situación contemporánea. Se preocupa por la reinvención de la tradición, ya que su inspiración es barroca, clásica o incluso posbarroco / rococó / galant.

Está anotado para orquesta de cámara de 34 instrumentos de cuerda.

Música

Stravinsky comenzó a componer Apollo el 16 de julio de 1927 y completó la partitura el 9 de enero de 1928. Compuso para una refinada fuerza instrumental, una orquesta de cuerda de 34 instrumentistas: 8 primeros violines, 8 segundos violines, 6 violas, 4 primeros violonchelos, 4 segundos violonchelos y 4 contrabajos.

El ballet es una obra de encargo hecha por la mecenas estadounidense Elisabeth Sprague Coolidge, que quería regalarla al Biblioteca del Congreso. Le pagaron $ 1000 por la pieza, y las especificaciones fueron que usara solo seis bailarines, una pequeña orquesta y no durar más de media hora, pero le permitió elegir libremente el tema. Stravinsky había estado pensando en escribir un ballet sobre un episodio de la mitología griega durante algún tiempo y decidió hacer de Apolo, líder de las musas, su figura central, reduciendo el número de musas de nueve a tres. Eran Terpsícore, personificando la danza; Calliope, combinando poesía y ritmo; y Polyhymnia, que representa el teatro. Stravinsky explicó el título original Apollon Musagète significa "Apolo, líder de las musas".

Stravinsky escribió para un conjunto homogéneo de instrumentos de cuerda, sustituyendo los contrastes en la dinámica por los contrastes en el timbre que empleó en Pulcinella. El ballet se inspira en la gran tradición de la música francesa de los siglos  y , en particular la de Jean-Baptiste Lully, una fuente a la que Stravinsky volvió al componer Agon en 1957. El prólogo comienza con ritmos punteados al estilo de una obertura francesa. El compositor se apoya en una estructura rítmica fundamental presente desde el principio de la obra, que transforma mediante subdivisiones de valores sucesivos que se vuelven cada vez más complejos. Stravinsky revisó levemente la partitura en 1947. En 1963, indicó que tenía la intención de hacer más cambios, particularmente con respecto al doble punteado de muchos de los pasajes de ritmo punteado en estilo barroco.

Ballet
La primera versión de ballet de Apollo de Stravinsky, encargada especialmente para el festival de Washington, se estrenó el 27 de abril de 1928 con coreografía de Adolph Bolm, quien también bailó el papel de Apolo. Adolph Bolm reunió una compañía de bailarines para el estreno en un país que, en ese momento, carecía de una fuente disponible de bailarines de formación clásica. Ruth Page, Berenice Holmes (profesora de ballet de Gene Kelly) y Elise Reiman fueron las tres Musas y Hans Kindler dirigiendo la orquesta. Stravinsky no se interesó por la actuación estadounidense y la coreografía de Bolm está prácticamente olvidada.

Había reservado los derechos europeos de la partitura para Sergei Diaghilev, cuya producción de Ballets Russes, coreografiada por Balanchine, de 24 años, se inauguró en el Théâtre Sarah Bernhardt de París el 12 de junio de 1928. Stravinsky dirigió la representación. El concertino fue Marcel Darrieux.

De acuerdo con los deseos de Stravinsky, el estilo de baile era esencialmente clásico, y Stravinsky pensó en "Apollon musagète" como un ballet blanco, es decir, vestido con el tradicional blanco minimalista. Balanchine dijo más tarde que cuando escuchó la música de Stravinsky todo lo que pudo ver fue un blanco inmaculado. La claridad, calma e incluso serenidad de la música la hace parecer infinitamente remota de la colorida emoción de los ballets anteriores de Stravinsky. La carencia de cualquier conflicto en el escenario, de cualquier intención narrativa, psicológica o expresiva, se combinó aún más con el vestuario monocromático para los bailarines y la ausencia de un decorado elaborado en el escenario.

La escenografía y el vestuario de la producción de Balanchine fueron del artista francés André Bauchant. Coco Chanel proporcionó nuevos trajes en 1929. Apollo vestía una toga reelaborada con un corte diagonal, un cinturón y sandalias con cordones. Las Musas vestían tutús tradicionales. La decoración era barroca: dos grandes conjuntos, con algunas rocas y el carro de Apolo. En la danza resurgió un cierto academicismo en el estiramiento y salto hacia arriba del cuerpo, pero Balanchine dobló los ángulos de los brazos y las manos para definir en cambio el género del ballet neoclásico.

El escenario involucró el nacimiento de Apolo, sus interacciones con las tres Musas, Calliope, Polyhymnia y Terpsichore, y su ascenso como dios al Monte Parnaso. El reparto original incluía a Serge Lifar como Apollo, Alice Nikitina como Terpsichore (alternando con Alexandra Danilova), Lubov Tchernicheva como Calliope, Felia Doubrovska como Polyhymnia y Sophie Orlova como Leto, madre de Apollo.

Para la reposición de este ballet con Mikhail Baryshnikov como Apollo en 1979, también omitió la primera variación de Apollo y volvió a coreografiar el final del ballet. Esta revisión no concluyó con el ascenso de Apolo al monte Parnaso, sino más bien moviendo el cuadro del "pavo real" de las Musas en arabescos de altura ascendente junto a Apolo, lo que originalmente sucedió un poco antes, a la pose final. En la puesta en escena de 1980 para el Ballet de la ciudad de Nueva York, se restauró la primera variación de Apolo.

Suzanne Farrell restauró la escena del nacimiento de su compañía en 2001, al igual que Arthur Mitchell.

Estructura

Los personajes son: Apolo y tres musas, Calíope; Polimnia y Terpsícore. El tema: Apolo musageta ('maestro de las musas') instruye a las musas en sus artes llevándolas al Parnaso.
El ballet comprende dos cuadros:

Q: AngularJS: How to use ngOption to iterate data from cached Api call I have an application in which I am making multiple API calls and caching that data for later. Then someone else in the app, I want to retrieve that data and list it in a drop down using ng-option.
To get the cached data for each call, I am doing
var httpCache = $cacheFactory.get('$http');
var cachedImpactedEntities =  httpCache.get('my api url');

This returns an object of an array in an array like so:
[200,"[  {
"entity_id": 1,"entity_desc": "test1"  },
{"entity_id": 2,"entity_desc": "test2"}]",
{"content-type":"application/json;
charset=utf-8"},"OK"]

What would be a good way to extract just the inside array in quotes and output each "entity_desc" to the drop down using ng-option like:
test1
test2
...

The way the cached information comes back is confusing me.
Thanks.

A: If I understand you correctly the following shall be sufficient:
$scope.cachedEntities = eval(cachedImpactedEntities[1]);
<select ng-options="item as item.entity_desc for item in cachedEntities track by item.entity_id" ng-model="selected"></select>

But that means you will need to update "manually" the cachedEntities each time you get the data back from api call.
Consider of using promise construct:
$http.get("url+parameters").then(function(data) { $scope.cachedEntities = data}, function(){ // do something on error });

The 100th for Auckland Town Hall
The grand old dame of Auckland's CBD, the Town Hall, was recently open to guided tours led by George Farrant, Auckland Council's heritage advisor (and the expert when it comes to the 1994-1997 restoration), plus an open day, celebrating the 100th anniversary of the building's official opening on 14 December 1911.
The apex of land at the junction of Greys Avenue and Queen Street on which the Town Hall sits had been set aside as a reserve right from the period of original Crown Grant land sales in the 1840s, just as the land on the other side of what was to become Grey Street, much later (20th century) Greys Avenue was optimistically declared a Market Reserve. In fact, it was the Wai Horotiu Swamp. Later drained, that part became the site of the Auckland Market Building, then a carpark, then the Aotea Square. But the apex reserve seemed to be a bit of a cinderella for most of the 19th century.
The apex reserve in the 1860s (centre) with Queen Street in the foreground, and Grey Street heading up the ridge towards Pitt Street. The Army and Naval Hotel can be seen at the far left -- this later became part of the Town Hall's site. Ref. 4-53, Sir George Grey Special Collections, Auckland Council Libraries.
A pine plantation existed at the apex reserve land from at most the late 1860s to around 1900, along with a fire bell tower from 1871. The site of today's Auckland Town Hall was once where the proprietors of the Army and Navy Hotel (c.1864-1884) did business, along with Evitt's Building (c.1864-1908) which became Penzholz's wickerwork factory before demolition in the 20th century.
From after 1871 (July 1871 is when the Council decided to erect a firebell tower at the foot of Grey Street, according to the Auckland Star.) The pine plantation is well-established in this image. This could date from 1883. Ref. 4-54, Sir George Grey Special Collections, Auckland Council Libraries.
The suggestion of the site on the apex between Grey and Queen Street as suitable for a Town Hall was first raised in 1872, and decided upon in 1873. In the early 1880s legislation was passed empowering the Council to purchase land for such a project, so gradually from that time private owners sold their land adjoining the apex site to the Council – and the project was on.
Both images from the Observer, 14 October 1893.
Even so, many alternative sites for the Town Hall were proposed, even as late as 1907, but Council had reaffirmed the choice of the Queen Street-Grey Street site in 1905, and stuck to their guns.
Auckland Weekly News, 21 March 1907. J J and E J Clark's winning design for the Town Hall. Ref. AWNS-19070321-2-2, Sir George Grey Special Collections, Auckland Council Libraries.
The winning entry in a competition for the building's design was that of the Melbourne architectural firm of J.J. and E.J. Clark. The building's design, combined with the location, prompted criticism, one critic describing it as "a deformed wedge of cheese or a decrepit flat-iron". Nevertheless, critique aside, the contract for the building's construction was signed in October 1908, and the foundations were completed by 1 April 1909, along with the cellar walls as far as the lower ground floor.
From Auckland Weekly News, 2 December 1909, looking south towards the Karangahape Road ridge. Queen Street is left, Grey Street to the right. The construction of the Concert Hall (left) and the Great Hall (right) can be seen, along with the brickwork (foreground) of part of the South Light Well area. The future municipal offices and Council Chambers would be in the section directly at the bottom of the image, out of shot. Ref.

1910, showing the blocks of Oamaru Stone used as facing for the building being placed above the level of Melbourne basalt. During restoration, Council went to great lengths to match this stone as exactly as possible when replacing exterior ornamentations taken down in preceding years. According to George Farrant, this including a quarry worker in Oamaru abseiling down the face of the quarry, taking samples. 2-V1409, Sir George Grey Special Collections, Auckland Council Libraries.
The architectural style of the building is a free treatment of the classic. The material used for the facades is "Oamaru" stone with a bluestone base. For the main Queen and Grey streets fronts a columnar method of design has been adopted. These two elevations terminate at the apex formed by the junction of the two streets in a segmental colonnade, surmounted by a tower 18 feet square and 130 feet high, with provision for 9 feet diameter clock dials. In front of this colonnade is a terrace enclosed by a stone balustrade with provision for a statue at the extreme angle. A feature of the construction of the building is the arrangement of the foundations. The great depth of a good rocky stratum necessitated a special treatment. Accordingly concrete piers have been carried down at intervals to the rock and the spaces spanned by concrete beams cairying the walls. All these beams are reinforced with "Kahn" steel bars. This method of piers and beams has been used by the architects, Messrs. Clark, in several important buildings in Australia ...

Auckland Weekly News, 2 February 1911. The dome being carefully hoisted to the top of the clock tower. Ref. AWNS-19110202-12-5, Sir George Grey Special Collections, Auckland Council Libraries.
The clock in the tower was donated by former mayor Arthur Myers.
The building opened on 14 December 1911, with "the celebrations extending into a week of cultural bacchanalia." The first public show was by the Huddersfield Bellringers Band, "direct from the London Hippodrome".
From the Observer, 18 December 1911
The difference in level between Queen and Gray streets, makes an upper and a lower ground floor. The great hall is situated on the lower floor, level with Grey street, and adjacent to it is a large supper room under the small hall, which is on a level with Queen street. These halls are arranged so as to be en suite with the Mayor's rooms for the convenience of public receptions. They have ample escape doors direct into the street. The public staircases and landings throughout will be fireproof. Every convenience has been provided in the way of dressing rooms and lavatories, both for performers and the public, and the retiring and cloak rooms will be most commodious, and there is a large smoke room. In connection with the supper room is a large kitchen and serving room conveniently placed at one end and arranged so as to provide for the largest functions.
Some sources put the value of the original construction of the Town Hall at around £126,000. If so, in today's terms, that's nearly $20M. (Amusingly, the Auckland City Harbour News of 21 December this year, reporting on the centenary, simply doubled the 1911 figure, changed it to dollars, and then described it as "around half the average price of a house in Auckland today." Another Auckland heritage fallacy is born ...) The restoration work in 1994-1997 cost around $33M (according to the ACHN), strengthening areas like the floors you see here, applying a special U-shaped truss to the Great Hall, and going a lot of extra miles to try to recreate the same tiling patterns and even carpet designs as they were before alterations and modernising in the mid 20th century.
Up above, impossible to notice with the eye, thin carbon-fibre-reinforced polymer strips were glued to the underside of the concrete slab floors. This strengthened the floors, without significantly adding to the depth.
The main entrance to both halls is in Queen street, a grand staircase 12 feet wide leading down to a large crush room off which are the cloak rooms before mentioned. Above the entrance vestibule is a large promenade and lounge on the level of the galleries.
The flooring was the topic of an anecdote George Farrant told those of us on the 15 December morning tour. Apparently, one kind of brown tile eluded the team while they were trying to find a match for what remained of the original flooring. Then, in a McDonalds of all places, brown tiles were spotted. A piece uplifted carefully from the Town Hall was hurriedly taken to the restaurant, compared, and found to be a match with the one specially made for the restaurant chain. With McDonalds' assistance, the Council were able to source a supplier for the tiles -- and fill in some of the gaps back at the Town Hall.
Through this post, you'll see I've taken photos of windows, especially like these, showing wonderful Art Nouveau patterns. I'd noticed, while walking through the various areas, that each part of the Town Hall had different patterned windows, unique to each chamber or area.
The small hall comprises a ground floor and gallery, accommodating together 800 persons and 150 in the chorus gallery. The galleries of the two halls are constructed on the most up-to-date principles, being carried by steel cantilevers, thus leaving the ends of the halls free from obstruction both for seeing and dancing.
The Concert Hall's windows.

Auckland Weekly News, 2 January 1935. Civic reception in the Great Hall for the visit of Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester. Ref. AWNS-19350102-41-1, Sir George Grey Special Collections, Auckland Council Libraries.
The great hall includes a ground floor. balcony and gallery, the whole capable of seating 3000 persons, exclusive of 350 in the chorus and orchestra. The organ space provides for an organ which will be the largest in New Zealand, the electric apparatus of which will be situated in the cellar underneath. The orchestra platform is made to slide under the choir front, thus giving more dancing space on the main floor when required, making a total area of 122 feet by 75.
The Great Hall was where I was inundated by nostalgic memories. Back at primary and intermediate school, I was a member of school choirs. Now, I am not a great singer. Mainly, I think I was included because, although the musical side of my voice wasn't in anyway magical, I had a lot of lung power, and therefore could control volume. (These days, I don't sing in public, I talk there instead). But -- I did, at least once, perform during a concert of massed choirs from a lot of other schools in the Great Hall here. I think I was standing just to the left of the organ pipes, on one of those wooden steps.
Another time, I was here on a school trip to listen to the Vienna Boys Choir. That time, we were seated up here, in the seats photographed just above.
Two more occasions that came to mind -- sitting down there, listening in 1975, probably November that year, to Robert Muldoon charging up the troops of National Party supporters towards his victory in that year's election. Banners, balloons, a lot of music and noise. His state funeral was held here in 1992.
And in the 1980s, attending PSA union meetings, deciding on what steps to take during government service restructuring. I don't think any other building in the central city, aside from perhaps the library and council archives complex, holds so many memory triggers for me as does the Auckland Town Hall.
16 September 1920. The Great Hall laid out for a meeting of the Auckland Orphan Club (which had the intriguing motto: "All Ye Who Enter Here, Abandon Care." Ref. 4-1796, Sir George Grey Special Collections, Auckland Council Libraries.
The original 1911 organ was donated by another former mayor, Henry (later Sir Henry) Brett, also well-known as a journalist, as the man behind the Auckland Star, and as a historian in his own right. The organ was largely replaced by a redesign and installation of 4000 new pipes in 1970. The original look of the 1911 organ was restored from 2010, costing around $3.5M.
16 September 1920, apparently taken on the same day as the previous historic image. Ref. 4-1798. Sir George Grey Special Collections, Auckland Council Libraries.
The rear windows to the Great Hall now blocked off.
A couple of up-close views of the organ.
The north (plain brick) and south (painted brick) lightwells were originally open to the air, to provide ventilation spaces for the performance halls section to the south, and the municipal offices section to the north. During the 1990s restoration, with the installation of air conditioning replacing the need for air ventilators, the lightwells were sealed in.
Up until relatively recently, this was the Council meeting chamber. Another memory of mine, coming here just a few years ago, during the first of John Banks' two terms as Mayor. I'm not sure I recall exactly what the issue was that brought me here, but I remember sitting in the public gallery, listening to the councillors.
A mayoral chair?

I'll do another post shortly about some of the objects of interest in the Town Hall.

What a wonderful building. Lol at the McDonald's floor tiles.

I'm kicking myself for having missed that tour. So thanks for the detailed review. Did George Farrant point out the Chandelier from Kilbryde?
Timespanner December 25, 2011 at 7:57 AM
Yes, we were taken around and through the municipal offices part of the building as well. The chandelier will come up in another post shortly.
Writer Of The Purple Sage April 4, 2012 at 7:51 AM
Do you know any info about a story (urban myth perhaps?) that, during renovations, a secret WWII signals room was uncovered in the Town Hall?
Timespanner April 4, 2012 at 8:06 AM
There's one way of finding out: I'll send an email to George Farrant.
Here is George's reply:
"No, not discovered during restoration, but it is a longer-standing story that it happened - there seem to be no authoritative origins to the idea.
"The notion is related specifically to a small prow room on the Aotea side, that has a circular window to the outside.
"Nothing actually in the room vindicated this, but it is possible. I also have wondered if some redundant lift switchgear that was left in the room might have suggested something?
"It could also have been spawned by the reality that battle communications HQ for Guadalcanal was in the Dilworth building. It apparently was the case that control HQ for major actions were intentionally remote from the action for security of communications."
krdheritage June 30, 2012 at 10:49 AM
The story of the WWII room probably derives from the Air Raid Headquarters fitted out in the basement of the George Courts Department Store on Karangahape Road. When the building was converted into apartments in the early 1990s signs of the wartime usage of the basement were uncovered.

ARCM (Royal College of Music-London, UK)
Alma Petchersky's debut at the illustrious Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires marked her as one of the outstanding pianists of her generation. Since then, she has become an artist of international calibre, with recordings for the BBC and on the ASV, Lorelt and Canadian Broadcasting Corporation labels of the rich music of the Americas, Spain and Russia. She has performed to acclaim across Europe, the Americas and Asia. Reviews of her concerts at Wigmore Hall and the Kennedy Centre were glowing, and Gramophone magazine has praised her performances as "alive with fantasy and brilliance."
The release of her 6th CD, a CBC Musica Viva recording of the works of the Spanish composer Joaquin Turina, prompted The International Record Review (U.K.) to note its "thrilling shots of spirited bravura" and the Toronto Star's William Littler called the CD a "listening pleasure from beginning to end."
Alma Petchersky is passionately devoted to the recovery of masterpieces by great, often neglected composers. Her dedicated exploration of the complete piano music of Villa-Lobos resulted in a highly acclaimed set of three CDs, of which Music and Musicians, UK said: "an artist in love with sonority and colour, her technique is consummate, her dynamic and expressive resources range from the softest, warmest intimacy to the most clangorously brilliant. Her musicality is at once all embracing." From American Record Review: "Her playing is marked not only by technical excellence but also a sense of discovery...Exciting pianism."
Her CD of Ginastera's complete piano music was given five stars by the BBC Music Magazine. Also included in her highly praised discography is a recording of works by Tchaikovsky and Scriabin on ASV. Of this album, the Frankfurter Rundschau wrote: "What one encounters here is rock like artistry such as only Kempff employed in his late Beethoven recordings". After a highly regarded album of the piano pieces of the Argentine composer Guastavino for Lorelt UK, she is currently working on a recording of pieces by Fanny Hensel - Mendelssohn.
Throughout her career, Alma has maintained a very active interest in Music Education. As well as teaching at the University of Toronto and in her private studio, she taught at York University and privately for several years in the United Kingdom. She has conducted master classes in Russia, Mexico, Japan, Spain, etc. while on concert tours.
Alma Petchersky had the privilege of studying piano with prominent teachers, such as Maria Curcio and Roberto Caamaño, themselves students of Arthur Schnabel and Claudio Arrau, and direct heirs of the European musical tradition. She feels the responsibility and joy of passing this tradition on to young musicians, approaching them with respect, curiosity and wonder.

Drew was great to work with both times he has worked with us. He was very honest and straight forward with us when discussing repairs alternatives. He listened to our concerns and made sure his proposed solutions met our needs. His work quality was excellent! Even the building inspector stated that his water heater installation was very clean and excellent quality work. Having past experience with water heater installations we already knew he did a great job!

We had a leak in the main line at the front yard under the driveway. Frank came out and looked at it and immediately said he could fix it without us having to cut and dig out part of the driveway and lawn (which another plumbing company said had to be done). Frank fixed the leak at a very fair price and was extremely professional and personable. In the future, we will always call Frank and Precision Plumbing for our future plumbing needs. Thanks!

Your guide to the Hyde Park Jazz Festival
In 2007, when a group of South Side visionaries launched the Hyde Park Jazz Festival, they hoped to bring long overdue attention to a neighborhood rich in jazz history.
"There are so many people in Chicago who simply don't go south of Roosevelt Road," James Wagner, one of the co-founders of the festival, told me at the time.
"On the North Side, a lot of people just don't think of it."
Since then, the Hyde Park Jazz Festival has become a magnet for thousands of listeners each fall, the 11th annual event featuring Chicago and visiting musicians on several stages this weekend.
Following are one listener's picks for the most promising sets, the music unfolding at several Hyde Park venues on Saturday and on two outdoor stages on the Midway Plaisance (one named for Wagner, who died in 2009) on Saturday and Sunday. All performances are free; the music plays from 1 p.m. to midnight Saturday and 1 to 7 p.m. Sunday; for more information, visit www.hydeparkjazzfestival.org.
Twin Talk. Bassist Katie Ernst, saxophonist Dustin Laurenzi and drummer Andrew Green formed this collective several years ago, the name referencing the intimacy with which twins often communicate. Ditto this ensemble. 2:30-3:30 p.m., University of Chicago's Smart Museum of Art, 5550 S. Greenwood Ave.
Marlene Rosenberg/Scott Hesse Duo. Bassist Rosenberg and guitarist Hesse — who have backed uncounted Chicago and visiting stars — step into a richly deserved spotlight, two uncommonly sensitive improvisers responding only to one another. 2:30-3:30 p.m., University of Chicago's Oriental Institute, 1155 E. 58th St.
Isaiah Collier and the Chosen Few. The up-and-coming saxophonist heroically battled the over-reverberant acoustics of the Harris Theater Rooftop Terrace during the Chicago Jazz Festival earlier this month. Even so, there was no mistaking the growing self-assurance of Collier's work. 3-4 p.m., Hyde Park Union Church, 5600 S. Woodlawn Ave.
Dana Hall's Inner Dialogue: Sound and Semiosis (solo). The director of jazz studies at DePaul University, percussionist Hall is ubiquitous in Chicago's clubs and concert halls, but rarely do we get to hear him in a solo set. 4-5 p.m., DuSable Museum of African American History, 740 E. 56th Place
Nicole Mitchell and Ballake Sissoko: Bamako*Chicago Sound System. The marquee event of this year's festival will feature former Chicagoan Mitchell, a globally admired flutist, collaborating with Malian kora master Ballake Sissoko and colleagues in a world premiere. 3-4 p.m. and 5:45-6:45 p.m., University of Chicago's Logan Center Performance Hall, 915 E. 60th St.
Ari Brown Quartet featuring Oliver Lake. With a sound as big as all outdoors, Brown personifies the Chicago tenor tradition; he'll be joined by saxophonist Lake. 3:45-4:45 p.m., Wagner Stage, Midway Plaisance near Woodlawn Avenue
Grazyna Auguscik Group. A singular vocalist, the Polish-born, Chicago-based artist has been particularly effective in re-imagining Chopin's music via jazz. 4-5 p.m., Logan Center Penthouse, 915 E. 60th St.
Nick Mazzarella/Tomeka Reid Duo. Two musical searchers — saxophonist Mazzarella and cellist Reid — join forces, with unpredictable results. 4:30-5:30 p.m., DuSable Museum of African American History, 740 E. 56th Place
Amina Claudine Myers. Myers' work encompass many musical vocabularies, and the opportunity to hear her playing solo piano and pipe organ in a single set is rare. 5-6 p.m., Hyde Park Union Church, 5600 S. Woodlawn Ave.
Dee Alexander: Monk and the Ladies. The irrepressibly inventive singer will salute this year's Thelonious Monk centennial in the company of cellist Tomeka Reid, bassist Marion Hayden, pianist Alexis Lombre and drummer Gayellyn McKinney. 6:15-7:15 p.m., Wagner Stage, Midway Plaisance near Woodlawn Avenue.
Geof Bradfield's "Yes, and … Music for Nine Improvisers." Reedist Bradfield will present this world premiere with saxophonists Greg Ward and Anna Webber, trumpeters Marquis Hill and Russ Johnson, trombonist Joel Adams, guitarist Scott Hesse, bassist Clark Sommers and drummer Dana Hall. 7:15-8:15 p.m., Logan Center Performance Hall, 915 E. 60th St.
Double Monk: Jeremy Kahn & Steve Million with Ariane Dolan. Pianists Kahn and Million transform Thelonious Monk's music, with movement from dancer Dolan. 7:15-8:15 p.m., University of Chicago's International House, 1414 E. 59th St.
Willie and Bethany Pickens plus Friends. Chicago piano giant Willie Pickens partners with pianist Bethany Pickens, his daughter. 9:30-10:30 p.m., Logan Center Performance Hall, 915 E. 60th St.
Joe Locke/Warren Wolfe Duo. The tintinnabulation could be remarkable when two vibraphonists play the festival's most cavernous space. 11 p.m.-midnight, University of Chicago's Rockefeller Memorial Chapel, 5850 S. Woodlawn Ave.
Bell Jazz: Joey Brink. Can a carillon swing? University of Chicago carillonneur Brink will explore that question. The festival recommends listening from Rockefeller Memorial Chapel's east lawn, along Woodlawn Avenue. 1-2 p.m., Rockefeller Memorial Chapel, 5850 S. Woodlawn Ave.
Fat Babies. Music of the 1920s and '30s sounds freshly reinvigorated in the hands of this superb Chicago ensemble. 3-4 p.m., West Stage, Midway Plaisance near Ellis Avenue.
CALJE. Fortunately, the Chicago Afro-Latin Jazz Ensemble — featuring Tito Carrillo, Victor Garcia and Papo Santiago, among others — will perform in front of a dance floor. 5-6 p.m., West Stage, Midway Plaisance near Ellis Avenue.
Yes We Can: The Songs of New Orleans. Musicians of New Orleans and Chicago converge to close the festival with repertoire of the Crescent City. 6-7 p.m., Wagner Stage, Midway Plaisance near Woodlawn Avenue.

The RTC (The Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada) manages the buses that run up and down the Strip and Downtown Las Vegas, and offers one of the best ways to get around Las Vegas without shelling out a ton of money. Tourists will especially want to take advantage of the Deuce, a bus that operates along Las Vegas Boulevard, and the SDX, better known as the Downtown Express.
The Deuce is the very popular bus line that runs up and down the Strip, and while it's great for casino hopping on the Strip, it's not so good for heading downtown. Therefore, when heading to downtown Las Vegas, take the SDX, rather than the Deuce.Although they have similar prices and the same buses, the difference between the SDX and the Deuce is that the SDX has fewer stops, and thus.
Save money on your trip to the Grand Canyon National Park on this tour that includes two meals and round-trip transportation from Las Vegas. Along with exploring the canyon's South Rim, make stops at Hoover Dam and Route 66 in Arizona to pack even more sightseeing into one day. Plus, hear insightful commentary from your guide along the way.

Terminal 1 Public Bus. Terminal 1 is served by Route 108 - Paradise, Route 109 - Maryland Parkway and the Westcliff Airport Express (WAX) route. The bus stop at Terminal 1 is located on Level Zero. From baggage claim, take the elevator or escalator down one level. Exit the terminal building and proceed across the pedestrian crosswalk. Veer right to the covered RTC bus stop. The RTC Paratransit.
The RTC bus system provides service along the Strip as well as to Downtown and the surrounding areas of Las Vegas. Two routes currently run along the Strip. The first, called the Deuce, service is offered 24 hours a day and operates between every 12 to 30 minutes, depending on the time of day. Stops are located near virtually every resort on the Strip.

The Las Vegas Strip is a stretch of South Las Vegas Boulevard in Clark County, Nevada that is known for its concentration of resort hotels and casinos. The Strip, as it is known, is about 4.2 miles (6.8 km) long, and sits immediately south of the Las Vegas city limits in the unincorporated towns of Paradise and Winchester but is often referred to simply as Las Vegas.
In contrast, Deuce bus stops are ubiquitous on the Strip and easy to find. In a traffic jam, the SDX's advantages disappear, as it gets stuck along with the Deuce in the same vehicular congestion on Las Vegas Blvd., which seems to occur every Friday night and much of Saturday. During these times, it may be better to just walk on the Strip. One.
May 5, 2019 - Las Vegas Deuce on the Strip: Learn how to get around Las Vegas by riding the Deuce(bus). This is probably the least expensive way to get around.
Getting Around: Las Vegas' can be easily covered by the city's RTC bus routes, but if you're sticking to the main drag, the Las Vegas Monorail runs adjacent to the Strip, and the inexpensive Las Vegas Deuce runs from the Fremont Street Experience in Downtown Las Vegas all the way to Mandalay Bay.
It means you're budget smart. The cheapest way to travel along the Las Vegas Strip and to downtown is to jump on a bus. The Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC) operates two partially overlapping routes that blanket these areas. The Deuce is a double-decker bus system reminiscent of the iconic red ones in London. But this is Vegas, so we bling'd up our double-decker.
Partial detours along Las Vegas Boulevard (The Strip) will begin at 9 a.m. Follow signage instructions posted at bus stops. ROUTE 104 will be on detour south of Tropicana.
The Deuce runs between Mandalay Bay at the southern end of the Strip (and to the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign and South Strip Transfer Terminal after midnight) to the Bonneville Transit Center (BTC) and the Fremont Street Experience in Downtown Las Vegas, with stops near every casino. RTC also operates an express bus called the Strip and Downtown Express (SDX). This route connects the.

The Golden Hour (the hour or so before sunset) lives up to its name with these golden cliffs. This is a 3 shot panorama which, after I cropped down to cut out some distracting rocks at the bottom, and too much sky at the top, came out to be 16.2 megapixels. A mere .4 megapixels more than my camera's sensor. But it's where those pixels went that make it more useful than a regular shot. At over 6,200 pixels in length it's far longer than the 4,592 pixels the camera can take in a single shot. A single shot with the camera would have had me choosing to cut out either the large rock on the left or some cliff on the left, so this worked out for me. With moving water it's important to try and get a lull in the waves when shooting through your sequence of shots for easier stitching together and to move quickly once you've prepared to shoot. I use my auto exposure and focus lock set on what I picture as being the center part of the photo then start shooting from left to right.
While looking through the camera I noticed what I thought were lighter rocks on top of those darks rocks in the middle of the panorama. Zooming in and I see they're not rocks at all.
It might still be hard to see in this crop (I didn't have a super zoom lens on me) but those are seals on the rocks sunning themselves. This is a crop from a 15.8 megapixel shot down to a 2.1 megapixel shot. And it might still not be good enough. The resolution power of my camera is pretty much at the limit here and a telephoto lens would have been a better choice.
My original goal for this hiking outing was to setup for a nice sunset to grab my shot for +The Patch - PhotogrAphy Themed CHallenge for week 3. Our theme was Inspiration and Renewal. But on the way to where I was going to shoot I happened across this.
I really liked the sun rays and the light hitting off the grass. I was in a hurry to get to my spot so I grabbed a couple handheld shots at f22 (it really gets those sunbursts to pop) and went on my way. Thing is I didn't like my sunset shots for the theme, but I kind of liked this shot. Problem is the original of this shot had the foreground so dark it wasn't a really great shot. Normally I would have taken some exposure brackets to HDR the shot, but I didn't do that. So I tried a single shot HDR. This is not something I normally like doing as I feel it pushes the RAW file too far. A single shot HDR takes advantage of the RAW file's extra data to try and fill-in the blanks in highlight and shadow areas. It does an admirable job in a pinch, but I wouldn't normally recommend this method as a general practice. This photo is one of the few times I'll say DON'T look at it large sized because then you will see the destruction of pixels. Maybe I'll try to reshoot this in a standard HDR.
My sunset shot. I really like this shot as it shows the sunset playing off the sides of Pewetole Island in the foreground and Trinidad Head in the background. The reds and purples really play well off the sides of Trinidad Head and the incoming fog. This is a 7 shot HDR.
