![]() Having none of the worries of modern life, these happy beings live in harmony with nature. Living in their distinctive mushroom houses, the Smurfs lead a simple, fantastic, communal life. It is populated by 103 little blue people who are only three apples high. Tucked away in the middle of a medieval forest is the charming and unique village of the Smurfs. NOTE: This description is directly taken from the pitch bible of the 1981 TV series. Paths led outward from the village to the river with its bridges, a little swimming pond, the waterfall in the mountains, the sarsparilla field (where the Smurfs find their favorite food), and the forest. The hamlet of mushroom houses is nestled between mountains and a vast forest, with a river running lazily along the edge of the woods. This crazy village life is like a character in and of itself.īeyond the village there’s a whole wide world, a rich environment filled with beauty and menace in equal parts. Viewers will be constantly surprised as stories veer left and right, slowing down, and speeding up like a wheelbarrow out of control. ![]() But look closer, and you’ll see that this place is bubbling with energy and potential mayhem. The Smurfs live together in their lovely little village, a place that seems totally idyllic and tranquil at first glance. NOTE: This description is directly taken from the pitch bible of the 2021 TV series. Official description Comic Book/ 2021 TV Series Universe It was only when the Smurfs became popular enough to warrant their own comic book series that the village was relocated to a flourishing animal-filled forest seen in the animated version of the story as well as all subsequent interpretations of the Smurfs. At the time the story was first published, the Smurf Village was originally located in a desolate rock-filled forest called the Cursed Land, to which Johan and Peewit were sent to locate them. The Smurf Village's first known appearance was in the original comic book version of " The Smurfs And The Magic Flute". In the 2021 animated show, the Smurf Village has a counterpart in an alternate universe called the Pluff Village, where the Pluffs lived. In the cartoon show special " The Smurfic Games", the Smurf Village is divided regionally into east and west for similar reasons. In the comic books, the Smurf Village is divided regionally into north and south due to the language differences between the Smurfs, as one group of Smurfs may say "corksmurf" and the other group of Smurfs may say "smurfscrew", though Papa Smurf points out to them that both forms of the word are correct. Various secret artifacts have been kept in the village, such as the Long Life Stone that keeps Smurfs from accelerated aging and the Time Scrolls that enable Smurfs to travel to any point in time (and to any geographical location). The Smurf Village is also adjacent to a large body of water that their sailing ship, the S.S. Though about 100 Smurfs live in this village, it appears to be rather small in area size. Besides houses, it also has an outdoor theater, a meeting house, a kitchen, a storehouse, a dining hall facility, a playing field for sports games, a hospital or infirmary for treating sick and injured Smurfs, and a field for growing crops. The village resembles a patch of large mushrooms, since their houses are built to resemble mushrooms, probably serving as camouflage to unsuspecting passersby. In the 2011 Smurfs movie, it is protected by a magical field that renders it invisible to all outsiders. In the 1980s cartoon show, a magic spell prevents non-Smurfs from ever finding the village, though strangely as seen in the episode " Revenge Of The Smurfs" it hasn't stopped humans from accidentally rampaging through it. In the "non-canonical" Smurf story " The Smurfs And The Magic Flute", Homnibus used "hypno-kinesis" in order to transport Sir Johan and Peewit as close to the village as possible, where they found a Smurf to guide them the rest of the way there. It is located in a forest, the exact location of which is unknown to all but Smurfs, Mother Nature, and Leaf. The Smurf Village is the home residence for the Smurfs.

An easy-to-follow driving tour map is available from the visitor’s center. Many of his students designed homes in the Prairie School style and they are scattered throughout Mason City. But The Park Inn isn’t the only Wright-related architectural draw. There’s also a wonderful restaurant and downstairs lounge. An adjacent law office, also designed by Wright, was incorporated into the hotel to allow for 27 boutique hotel rooms. In the early 2000s, The Park Inn underwent a 12-year, $18 million renovation to restore it to its Prairie School-style beauty. Built in 1912, it has been a hotel, an office building, a strip club and then a vacant eyesore.

With WiFi Direct, a host server is created within the app for other devices to connect and share data. The app sends files as a peer-to-peer exchange and connects devices through the WiFi radio. SHAREit relies on the technology of WiFi Direct for sharing files. In addition to photos, music, and video files you can even use SHAREit to transfer contacts.

You can help by converting this section, if appropriate. This section is in list format but may read better as prose. Īudacity is somewhat customizable and supports arbitrary arrangements of its toolbars, custom themes and enabling and disabling of several features. It additionally features a console for Nyquist, a Lisp dialect, in which users can script their own plugins and support for external python scripting. Customizability and extensibility Īudacity supports LADSPA, LV2, VST, VST3, Audio Units, Vamp and Nyquist plugins, which allows it to load most audio effect plugins. In conjunction with batch processing features, Audacity can be used to convert files from one format to another, or to digitize records, tapes or MiniDiscs. Due to patent licensing concerns, the FFmpeg library necessary to import and export proprietary formats such as M4A (AAC) and WMA is not bundled with Audacity but has to be downloaded separately. Importing, exporting and conversions Īudacity natively imports and exports WAV, AIFF, MP3, Ogg Vorbis, and all file formats supported by libsndfile library. For a long time, non-destructive editing was exclusive to volume envelopes and playback rates, but since version 3, this has been extended to clip trimming and effects. This comes with certain benefits but means that any change made cannot be tweaked later on without undoing all changes in-between. Historically, Audacity is a destructive editor, meaning all changes are directly applied to the waveform. In addition to a normal mode, recordings can be scheduled ("Timer Record"), or used in a Punch in and roll fashion. It is currently used in the Sound Creation unit of the UK OCR National Level 2 ICT course.Īudacity can record multiple tracks at once, provided the sound card supports it. ![]() It has been used to record and mix entire albums, such as by Tune-Yards. In addition to recording audio from multiple sources, Audacity can be used for post-processing of all types of audio, including effects such as normalization, trimming, and fading in and out.

Mazzoni eventually left CMU to pursue software development and in particular development of Audacity, with Dannenberg remaining at CMU and continuing development of Nyquist, a scripting language which Audacity uses for some effects. On May 28, 2000, Audacity was released as Audacity 0.8 to the public. The project was started in the fall of 1999 by Dominic Mazzoni and Roger Dannenberg at Carnegie Mellon University, initially under the name CMU Visual Audio.

What about cleanup?Īfter play, always wash your butt plugs and your hands with warm water and soap. O'Reilly also points out that removal can be easier if you've orgasmed during anal play, as orgasms relax the pelvic floor. To remove a butt plug, gently pull it out while taking slow and steady deep breaths, or have your partner hold the base and slide it out for you. "Relax, breathe deeply, and bear down slightly with your sphincter muscles as you insert for the first time," writes O'Reilly. You want to be gentle with them when inserting anything into your butt. As she writes in The New Sex Bible: The New Guide to Sexual Love, there are two muscle rings known as the sphincter around the entrance to the anus. ![]() I've found that inserting a butt plug is easiest when the receiver is bent over in doggy-style position, but everyone is shaped differently, so experiment to find out what works for you.Īccording to sex and relationship expert Jessica O'Reilly, the key to anal play is relaxation. Circle the anus with the finger, glide it gently in and out of the anus, then add another finger.Īfter your butt is comfortable with a couple of fingers, slather your plug in lube and slowly slide it inside you. ![]() Next, start with something smaller than a plug: Lube up your finger, or ask your partner if you can borrow theirs. Instead of going straight for the ass, try a few other activities you enjoy, like oral, to get your body turned on and receptive to a new kind of stimulation. Sustain Lube, $13 ( Shop Now), Überlube, $15 to $28 ( Shop Now), and Good Clean Love Almost Naked Lube, $12, ( Shop Now) Courtesy of brands How do I get the plug in my butt (and take it out)?įirst, don't neglect foreplay. But if you're new to butt plugs, start with silicone, as the material has more give than glass or stainless steel. Glass or stainless steel butt plugs work wonderfully with any lubricant. ![]() If you're using a silicone toy, grab a water-based lube. Here's the thing about silicone lubes, though: They're awesome for anal play because they're thick and tend to last longer than water-based varieties, but silicone breaks down silicone. Oil-based lubes, including at-home options such as coconut oil, break down latex, but water- and silicone-based lubes do not. And if you're using a butt plug with multiple partners, practice safer sex by putting a condom on it and using a non-oil-based lube before each use, advises Ortmann. What should I know about that?Īgain, the rectum doesn't self-lubricate, so you're going to have to help it out. The bottom line is that anal pleasure through butt plugs is something anyone can enjoy. In fact, solo sex is a lovely way to explore anal play. That said, you don't need a partner to enjoy butt plugs - they make for excellent masturbation companions. Many people love receiving oral while they have a butt plug in. You can also simultaneously stimulate your clit with fingers or a vibrator. If you have a vagina, the butt plug is also a wonderful way to experience double penetration: Slide one in after applying lube and wear it during vaginal sex with a penis or dildo. If unsafe toys can stain my underwear, what else can they harm? As Schmit points out, "Cheaper toys might be made of chemicals that can leach into your body." Once I opened my lingerie drawer to notice that a rubber vibrator had leaked pink dye everywhere. Since sex toys are sold as "novelty items," they're more or less unregulated by any federal agency, meaning it's up to you to make sure that materials are safe to put in, on, and around your genitals. In addition to choosing a plug with a flared base, it's important to check that your toy is body-safe. (Nobody wants to be the person whose story goes viral for ending in the ER with a butt plug stuck in their bum.) What should I know before purchasing a butt plug? Since the rectum can act like a vacuum and suck objects inside, a flared bottom, pull cord, or ring prevents a butt plug from getting lost inside you, Ortmann says. They generally have narrow tips that get progressively wider toward the middle and then narrow again to a slim neck at the base so your rectum can contain them comfortably. Butt plugs are cleverly shaped for their function. ![]() There are two scenarios in which having a strong password help. Small letters ( a.z ) are included by default. To generate a password that meets these requirements you can use the controls to include (or not include) numbers (0.9), capital letters ( A.Z ), symbols ( ), and potentially ambiguous characters ( (()/'"`~. Some websites and other software only allow certain symbols in passwords, while others require the presence of symbols of a particular type to ensure a minimum password strength. ![]() You can verify that in your browser, like so: To prevent anyone from potentially sniffing your network traffic and learning your newly created password, the generator uses a secure transfer protocol - HTTPS, or more precisely encryption & authentication with TLS 1.2 (a strong protocol), ECDHE_RSA with P-256 (a strong key exchange), and AES_128_GCM (a strong cipher). ![]() Our server does not store any of the passwords it generates for you so once you close this page only you will know that it ever existed!
