I got a Raspberry Pi 2 for Christmas, and finally took it for a spin this weekend… just as the community is getting ready to celebrate the Pi's 4th birthday.
After using it for a few hours, here's what I've learned so far.
Invest in a Starter Kit
The base Raspberry Pi 2 board is only about $35, but it comes with nothing else, not even an ac adapter. If you happen to have spare parts lying around, this may not be a problem. Unfortunately, I dumped my boxes of computer parts years ago when I stopped building PCs.
A starter kit on Amazon includes most of what you need to get up and running. It's about $70 (and includes the base Pi board), which is less expensive than buying everything separately. You get an adapter for power, HDMI cable for display, microSD card for memory, edimax wi-fi adapter for Internet access, and a nice sturdy case to protect your new Pi. It came with a manual that was pretty helpful too.
Aside from the kit, you'll also need a mouse/keyboard for input (with 4 USB ports, there's plenty of space for peripherals). If you don't have an old set lying around, you can pick up a set for $15.
If you buy more Raspberry Pis in the future, you may want to buy just the base board, unless you intend to have them all running and connected to displays at the same time.
There are Great Resources Everywhere
It seems everyone but me is already into these! Wow, there's a lot out there.
Finding resources is no problem at all. Here's a few I've been checking out.
Raspberry Pi Foundation
The main Raspberry Pi site is a world of resources in itself, starting with their aptly named resources page.
If you're brand new, like me, the learn (or getting started) section is the place to begin. Especially if you didn't buy a set with a user guide, there's an online lesson for installing Raspbian with NOOBS. If you happen to use MIT's Scratch for teaching programming basics, you can use Scratch on the Pi too.
For teachers, there's an area with lesson plans that break larger topics into multiple smaller lessons, each with stated objectives, such as Getting Started with Raspberry Pi.
The MagPi (the official Raspberry Pi magazine)
As if the project ideas on the main site weren't enough, there's the MagPi area of the site too. You'll find tons of tutorials and other walkthroughs here, in addition to their official MagPi publication. They've got all the back issues available online.
Two of them I want to check out asap are the Projects Book, and the Sense HAT Essentials issue. The Sense HAT is the new module packed with sensors, available to everyone and amazingly low cost considering what it offers. It was developed as part of the Astro Pi program the foundation is running with the ESA that gets kids involved with writing code that's being tested on the ISS.
The Raspberry Pi Guy (YouTube)
A Raspberry Pi enthusiast since the Pi was first released 4 years ago, Matt Timmons-Brown has a channel on YouTube called TheRaspberryPiGuy, and a blog too.
He's produced a nice collection of reviews of the various Raspberry Pi models that have been released, as well as their different features and some applications of the Pi.
I definitely intend to check out what he's done… it's even more impressive when you find out how old he is!
Learning Python
If you intend to, you know, actually *do *something with your Pi, you'll want to invest some time learning Python, which seems to be the language of choice on the Pi. I'm not sure yet if it's the only language supported, but there are a handful of sample programs installed with Raspbian, and they're all written in Python.
Here are a couple places to get started.
- Python – Raspberry Pi Documentation
- Learn to Program with Python @ Coursera(tip: the link is for their "specialization" track, which costs money, but you can just look up each course individually and sign up for free!)
The Kids Love It
One of the reasons I wanted the Pi was to have some fun with my kids, so here we are trying it out together. I used NOOBS to install Raspbian, which comes with MIT's Scratch.
For the uninitiated, it teaches basic programming concepts through the use of a stage (think, directing a play) and logical constructs (loops, steps, etc). You can actually create some pretty advanced scripts with it, as you can see in the second pic below. (There's a more advanced version from Berkeley called Snap!, which is geared towards older kids and adults.)
The kids took turns getting the cat (you'll know what I mean if you try it out) to do some 90° turns and meow a few times. Then we discovered a few samples scripts that installed with the app, including a space invaders clone, and all productivity went down the toilet. ;)
It's Okay to Break Things
It took me a whole 60 seconds to break my first thing. Not bad!
When it comes to loading an OS for your Pi (typically Raspbian), there's a program on the main site called NOOBS that makes the process simple (simple is sort of the MO for this whole Pi business). Just download it, unzip it to the card, and you're good to go.
The Vilros set comes with a microSD card, which they helpfully pre-loaded with NOOBS. Not realizing what it was, I formatted the card and wiped it out, so I'd have a nice clean card to work with. Sigh…
Let me clarify. It's okay to break the software. Your hardware should be nice and protected inside that sturdy plastic case. If you mess the config files up, or change a bunch of settings and aren't sure where the heck you've ended yourself up, just wipe the card and unzip NOOBS to it again. Voilà!
And isn't that the point of the Pi? It's an ultra-inexpensive computer with a free OS. Do whatever you want with it. If you mess up the software, start over. Even if you mess up the hardware, you're only out $35, not hundreds.
Looking forward to breaking um… seeing what else it can do!
Are you just getting started with the Pi too? What's your experience been like so far? Did you find it dead-simple, or run into problems?

We have all felt the spin of uncertainty, the turning of the unknown. Everyone stands back fascinated, bewildered at their own curiosity, and above all, worried as to the outcome.
But we all know how it will end: just as it has begun. We have paid admission for the ride, volunteered our lives in the turning pursuit that eventually brings us back down to earth. It's all been simply an amusement ride. Or has it?
Elizabeth Luallen painted this picture in 1991 shortly before discovering she had terminal cancer. And yet, all along, she had suspected as much.
We go up, we go down, we go all around. And then, the ride is over; the pleasure past. All that awaits, is to find out whether we have one more ticket.

What are we going to do about UKIP? It is clear that there is strong support for the 'anti-Europe' sentiment in most areas in our country. I live in a relatively safe Labour area in Leeds and UKIP increased their vote share (of those who actually voted) by more than 20% for the local elections, and got three of the six seats up for grabs in Europe. I think this is quite worrying, but if we are going to win the next general election we need to have a clear positive agenda.
If we allow UKIP to dictate the narrative of the conversation and approach the problem by responding with negativity towards UKIP we will appear to be the same as the coalition Government. This is already happening; I have seen a few leaflets with titles such as 'the truth about UKIP'. While I agree that we need to point out their policies are horrendous, I fear that this just plays into UKIP's hands and gives them publicity. This is because part of UKIP's appeal is that they sell themselves as an alternative, while tarring us with the same brush as the coalition Government – aka 'the establishment'. But we're not the same!
Instead of negativity, I think we need to put forward a viable alternative, Stephen Beer put it very well in his article from last week: "we need a clear, progressive, and hopeful message at the national level." This will be clearly different to UKIP's, but also needs to be distinctly different when compared with the other parties, both in tone and content. The tone of what we say is so important if we want voters to buy-in to our agenda.
I am not saying we should ignore the Europe and immigration issues. There are clearly lots of people who are worried about the changes to the make-up of their communities, which does not make them racist or even xenophobic, just uncomfortable with change – which is a very human condition! Instead, we need to talk about these issues on our terms, recognising the rate of change in some areas is too fast, but emphasise the value that Europe and immigration have had on our economy and culture. I also think we need to be clear about our responsibility to offer asylum to those people who come to our country because of dire situations in their own countries.
Another clear issue highlighted by the recent elections was voter apathy. In the local elections, in my ward in Leeds, of the 14,919 people registered to vote, 4,264 people voted. That is 28.6%. Obviously that excludes the people who are eligible to vote, but not registered. To my surprise, a friend of mine who is politically engaged and very intelligent went to the polling station to find he wasn't registered to vote. If that is indicative of potential voters, then voter turn-out is even lower than I've just suggested!
A large part of voter apathy has to be down to the perception that 'they're all the same'. I find this view quite difficult to understand, but while campaigning for Labour for the last set of elections, it was a common theme. One of the interesting features of the results, at least in my ward, was that the number of people who voted increased by 416 people (doesn't sound like much, it is a big proportion of people who actually voted). This suggests to me that the UKIP distinctive message increased voter turn-out for the local elections (possibly helped by the fact that there were European elections at the same time). I think this suggests that having a clear, distinctive agenda will encourage people to vote. If it is positive as well, that can only increase the impact.
The one issues spoken to me on the door step was immigration and Labour don't listen.
We put out some leaflets that were anti UKIP. I am not sure what impact they had and there needs to be some research to fully determine there effectiveness or not.
The media has defiantly played a large role highlighting immigration from Eastern Europe. For a minor party UKIP have had a lot of free publicity. This free publicity seems to have created an air of fear that has been generated against Eastern European immigration.
I agree immigration needs to be controlled but I am concerned about the impact of the rise in popularity of UKIP and the effect this will have in encouraging racist activist, who want to preach intolerance and fear.
There are many Labour voters who are alarmed at the rising popularity of UKIP. We should be encouraging these voters to join Labour and to become active.

Summit Daily News editorial: Who knew workforce housing could be so complicated?
To paraphrase our commander in chief, who knew workforce housing could be so complicated?
Over the past few weeks, several efforts to address Summit County's dire housing crisis have met with unexpected friction: Lake Hill, an ambitious 436-unit project on Dill Dam Road, isn't moving ahead as quickly as expected; a Keystone Resort employee-housing development has stalled in negotiations, and the Summit Combined Housing Authority failed to hire a new leader because the finalist couldn't find a place to live.
Taking it slow, whether intentionally or not, might not be the worst-case scenario, however. Summit County has been a model for other mountain communities when it comes to taking the home shortage head on. And with a new revenue stream approved by voters in November — one that will generate as much as $80 million for housing development over the next 10 years — it's important that we get these taxpayer-funded endeavors right.
The county must build upwards of 1,700 new units by 2020 just to keep up with the demand. However, throwing mere bricks and mortar at the problem isn't enough. Workforce-housing development must proceed with caution and a targeted, holistic strategy to be truly effective.
In the case of Lake Hill, Frisco faces the prospect of having 1,000 new residents placed at its front door. Pulling back to further grapple with the infrastructural and social strains of that growth is a smart move. Frisco town officials have good reason to worry. How will we get water plumbed in and waste plumbed out? Where will all those new children go to school? Will that many new residents snarl traffic at the intersection between Highway 9, Dillon Dam Road, Interstate 70 and Lusher Court? We need better answers to those questions before we break ground.
Lake Hill could be a game-changer for Summit's working families, but we have only one chance to get it right. County Commissioner Thomas Davidson sees this clearly.
"We need to find out if we can even develop anything on Lake Hill before doing some transportation improvement," he said earlier this month. "We can't make mistakes on something like this. I don't think the people of Summit County would ever forgive us if we really screwed up an intersection because of a housing project."
Vail Resorts' plan to build a 196-unit employee housing complex in Keystone is a necessary step in addressing our workforce woes, but it too requires a thoroughly vetted assessment of its total effect on the community. A proposed child care center for residents there is a good step in that direction. However, county government officials are wise to continue to demand closer scrutiny of Wintergreen's potential burden on traffic, parking and existing neighborhoods. We're hopeful that these issues will soon be worked out.
However, it is important to remember that we can't build our way out of the problem, as one former housing official once said. We urge county and town governments — as they construct sprawling new housing projects — to consider options like the Housing Works Initiative. The program is a partnership between Family & Intercultural Resource Center, the Summit Combined Housing Authority and The Summit Foundation. Its goal is to work with area landlords to transition a number of short-term rentals into long-term options for families working in the county. That means it's making use of existing housing. Considering our total home vacancy rate throughout the year is more than 60 percent — not to mention the lack of remaining developable land — that's a necessary part of the solution.
The Summit Daily editorial board consists of editor Ben Trollinger, publisher Meg Boyer, a reporter and three citizen members: Ken Gansmann, Tamara Drangstveit and Rick Hague.

It's the last Thursday of double-sized Sunnies; next week the sniggeringly-titled Testees takes over the second half-hour. I haven't been a big fan of the two-at-once approach, which I hereby suggest we rename the "Three's Company type deal." But the gang gives us at least three-quarters of a classic in "Mac and Charlie Die, Parts 1 and 2." Take out Dee on the bus, and you've got solid gold.
We begin at Luther's parole hearing, where Mac and Charlie's plan to testify that Luther threatened to "quote, rape you so hard the room would stink" doesn't impress the board. Parole granted! (I want one of those stamps, by the way. My birthday's coming up.) So Mac and Charlie formulate plan B: Die. Or maybe plan C: "let's pick the second one where we don't actually die." They'll fake their own deaths by crashing Dee's 1997 Dodge Neon and leaving a suicide-note video near the scene. The car will explode in an badass way, and since they've scattered Charlie's surprisingly detachable teeth around the car, the authorities will assume that they've been consumed in the blaze. Then it's time to live a hobo lifestyle, mostly on the roof of Paddy's Bar.
Meanwhile Dennis becomes obsessed with the glory hole they've discovered in the bathroom. (The hole gets some duct tape for safety and the bathroom is promptly declared unisex, although Frank isn't particular: "supposing the other guy is picturing a chick, also!"). Craving anonymous sex, he accompanies Frank to an Eyes Wide Shut-style orgy ("the password is ooorrrrggyyyyy") that turns out to be more of a half-nude buffet with paunchy, uncostumed guests. But finding himself suddenly free to seek new roommates, he happens upon European Jan who hooks him up with hot chicks, of whose names Dennis attempts to remain ignorant.
And Dee has a tough time on the bus because she doesn't have a car anymore, but as I said above, let's not go into that — it was a dead spot in an otherwise stellar evening of comedy. For your consideration as best scene of the season so far: The sequence where Dee comes to Mac and Charlie's door yelling "we got a dick hole in the bar and I need you to come fill it in," followed immediately by Charlie panicking and throwing chairs at the window they've already opened, the better to make their blaze-of-glory escape. It's paced at a dead run, with no pauses for us to regain our composure before the next escalation.
Or what about the pawn shop, where Charlie and Mac, fresh from a car crash that failed to ignite the gas tank as planned, try to buy car-blowing-up equipment? Mac reels from his head wounds and becomes briefly incoherent, fixating on a wedding dress that he finds integral to the faking-death plan, while Charlie finds rationality all of a sudden. Actually, he finds it a little earlier when he realizes that he does not need to be in the car as Mac accelerates for the wall. But then after Mac comes around with the aid of poppers, Charlie loses his edge; he counsels Mac to go right up to the car to shoot the gas tank and make it blow, hypothesizing that "it'll blow you to safety."
I could go on and on about the brilliant invention and utter crudity of "Mac and Charlie Die," and I'm sure you all will do so in the comments. But let's just mention The Shadow before we're done. The Shadow is fall-down-funny by itself. Paired with the twisted incomprehensibility of Frank's Charlie-mannequin relationship in the next stall, The Shadow approaches transcendence.
Grade: A
Stray observations:
- In Charlie's far-too-small bindle: olive oil, hot sauce, and what appears to be shortening.
- "You wanna go down by the bridge? Could be cool!"
- I wouldn't burn that duster either. Maybe the sleeveless t-shirts that Mac "retired" and hung around the bar, but not that awesome duster.
- Hobo drifters live in the present. No American judgments here.
It's the last Thursday of double-sized Sunnies; next week the sniggeringly-titled Testees takes over the second half-hour. I haven't been a big fan of the two-at-once approach, which I hereby suggest we rename the "Three's Company type deal."

In the Monster Girl Encyclopedia world, monster girls are made as well as born. Monsterization is the umbrella term for a whole host of different processes by which men, women, corpses, plants, animals, elements, gods and various inanimate objects are all transformed into cum-guzzling nymphomaniacs.
A whole section of Fallen Maidens is devoted to case studies of different monsterization classes; see there for in-depth case studies on yuri, Demon Realm mana corruption, roper/slime-carrier/matango parasitism, dark slime melting, necromancy, the hand of god, snake pits, cursed items, alpification, and not eating properly.
The generic case
- Refer to: Monsterization, MGE-1 and Monsterization Handbook, Fallen Maidens
Most people who get monsterized don't want to be monsterized, because the vast majority of people who undergo the process are female Order humans, and the Order teaches that anything that happens in relation to monsters is bad [1] apart from zealous religious persecution. There are exceptions, of course; sorceresses may pursue witchdom or lichdom [2] in their quest for magical power, and there are some heretical sects which hold monsterization in a positive light [3]. Still, in the vast majority of cases, monsterization is a process violently resisted by those subjected to it. On becoming a monster, the fear and loathing a woman felt towards her own transformation does not necessarily melt away immediately. Elves and valkyries are notoriously conflicted about acting on their new irresistible impulses, and in Baphomet Complex, Lilia Flimlight's misgivings persist for hours even after she sleeps [4]. But regardless of whether they're happy about it or not, their newly ravishing body is gripped by a throbbing, needy lust for male company. "Women who've only just become monsters still have their human values, but with the monstrous body that's hot for men, and the intense feeling of hunger, the human mind can't hold out. Driven by desire, they end up attacking human men [5]". It's at this point that those who had someone they truly loved as a human make a beeline towards their "husband"; for those who didn't, the first man they spot is likely to be attacked for their first semen meal.
After a while, the body feels hot, and blood rushes to their head, and then they'll seek to have sex for the first time after becoming a monster, and they'll attack a human man. Also, the way to use their body is engraved in their instinct, so they can probably move freely and use it right after becoming a monster. Naturally, as soon as they change into a monster, the methods of how to attack men, milk spirit and use their body are imprinted in their instinct, so right after changing into a monster they can actively attack men and enjoy spirit and pleasure.[6]
The physical changes of rockin' tits, flawless sensitive skin, and more importantly, thirty foot tails or an ass the size of a wagon, therefore do not prevent the immediate use of those attributes for sexy times. It is not clear to how many of the monsterization methods or monster girl species this applies, but the succubus family at least tends to have their transformations go via a two-step process. First, the spirit energy is replaced with demonic energy, producing a partially-transformed lesser succubus. These creatures have protective fur over parts of their bodies, as lesser succubi have a monster's sensitivity but haven't yet acquired the monster's tolerance to supercharged pleasure; being groped too vigorously during semi-transformed sex is a sure-fire way to make them ahegao themselves unconscious [7]. Lesser succubi must then rape their way to enough spirit energy to complete the transformation, and become a fully-fledged succubus.
The metaphysical aspect
To the casual bystander, monsterization usually involves a woman becoming substantially more attractive and then raping that bystander. But from a magical standpoint, all the significant stuff happens invisibly. The fundamental difference between being a monster and not being a monster is that monsters have demonic energy inside them [8] and non-monsters don't. If a female is exposed to enough demonic energy, it snuffs out her ability to produce spirit energy; and the point at which this ability is destroyed is the point at which there is no chance of recovery. With only demonic energy left inside her, and no way to replenish her mana autonomously, milking men's semen for spirit energy is from then on her #1 source of magical sustenance. The reason that men can't be transformed into monster girls by this very same process is that men's autonomous spirit energy generation is much faster, and gets faster still in the presence of demonic energy, so it can't be snuffed out except in very peculiar circumstances. Or by death, after which point demonic energy could do unspeakable things to your bones [9].
Former humans who are transformed by sex tend to form a special bond of respect with the monster that transformed them. Both Lilia Flimlight and Wilmarina Noscrim come to view their lilim rapist as a second mother [10], and go on to work for them as subordinates. Those who have been transformed also tend to be more keen to transform others, as they know first-hand the thrill of monsters' sexual "liberation".
Historical relevance
The first and largest instance of "transformation into a monster girl" was the one that enraged the Chief God and produced the Monster Girl Encyclopedia world we know today. It was the great magical work that turned the skull-crushing, blood-drinking monsters of the former Demon Lord into the pelvis-groping, semen-drinking monster girls of the current Demon Lord.
The demon lord's objective is to change all men into incubi, and change all women into monsters, thus bringing about the "unification of humans and monsters into one race." In the completely unified race, the males will be humans, and the females will be monsters. She used the power of the demon lord which links the demonic energy of all monsters to channel her own demonic energy into them, changing them into the kind of monsters she desired, thus overwriting the settings for the monsters that god had established. In this way, "monsters" changed forms into female "monster girls" that feel strong love for the male human men, mate with them, and produce children.[11]
So this wasn't so much a "monsterization" as a "succubusization", from one kind of monster to a different, hybrid kind. Just as humans who are transformed into monsters rapidly begin to prefer their new forms for all the mind-shaking pleasure it brings, the monsters transformed into monster girls all seem to like it this way too (though the ones in Zipangu don't like it quite enough to contribute to the Demon Army [12]). Exactly what happened to the formerly male members of the monster species is not known [13].
Early in the current Demon Lord's reign, the depraved dark elves appealed to the succubi for super-hedonistic bodies too, and that race quickly became entirely monster. The dwarves went the same way, albeit somewhat slower and with less intentional planning. The Fairy Kingdom races are on the path to monsterization after the Sabbath decided to aggressively proselytize amongst them [14]. In the current era, transformation into a monster girl is mostly accomplished by the various one-on-one methods mentioned previously: getting yuri raped by a succubus, having a parasite egg stuffed up your barren vagina, being mauled by a werewolf, etc. Although it isn't stated outright, it doesn't seem like any non-monsters could be converted into monsters before the current era; otherwise, the dark elves (and dwarves) could have asked the succubi to turn their women into sexy sluts in any of the previous ages.
Book Information
Of Demonological Transformations (Early settings info)
There have been recorded cases whereby females of human and other races become Monsters. For example, Succubi are able to attack and convert such females to more of their species.
Females possess the ability to create spiritual energy within their bodies as well, but it is present in weaker capacity. They are also incapable of the direct creation of Spiritual Energy, and as such replenish it by absorbing it from their surroundings.
Monsters such as the Succubus hence attack human (or any other species really) females, and after absorbing all the Spiritual energy from them, inject Demonic Energy into them instead. Deprived of Spiritual Energy, the female body instead identifies DE as a replacement and absorbs it instead, thus completing the transformation from Human to Monster.
Human females who stay in the Demon Realm for too long also become Succubi due to the fact that her body absorbs energy from her surroundings. Since the Demon Realm is full of Demonic Energy, it causes a slow transformation due to the lost Spirit Energy and the Demonic Energy taken in to replace it.
In the case of Werewolves and Large Mice (or similar Monsters in that vein), Demonic Energy is injected through open wounds (and hence transmitted by clawing or biting), and the sudden presence of Demonic Energy invokes the inversely proportionate Laws of Spiritual/Demonic Energy, causing her Spiritual Energy to be forced out. One might think of it as an overflowing cup.
Other methods of transformation include, as in the case of Zombies and other Undead types, Demonic Energy residing in corpses which once used to hold Spiritual Energy. As the vessel is now empty, the injection of Demonic Energy "reanimates" the corpse. Demonic Energy may also cause cellular mutation, as in the case of the "Roper" and other similar monsters.
Transformed females basically retain their memories from when they were humans, and their personality, but their values and thought patterns often change to that of a monster. Free of the emotional limitations and restrictions they once had as humans, they become free and unrestrained like other monsters, and as a result attack men who catch their fancy.
Reasons for Changing into Monsters (MGE-1)
Basically, the monsters have an instinct that causes them to seek out human men, but occasionally, they'll also attack women in order to convert them into monsters. Reasons for that may be to increase the ranks of their allies, to repel human women who are trying to slay them, and various others.
Also, some of the monsters have the distinctive feature of going about changing women into monsters just for the hell of it to amuse themselves, and they can be quite officious. Whenever they encounter women who either don't know, or hate and renounce pleasure, or women who are troubled because they find themselves unable to express their affection for a man, they will assault them in order to teach them the joy and happiness of indulging in the pleasure of sex with men that they themselves experience. And then, after instructing her in the ways of pleasure and changing her into a monster with their own hands, they enjoy watching the sight of the woman who once had love problems as she follows her instinct, assaulting the man, then moving her hips happily on top of her beloved, drowning in pleasure. Those who went from being human to being a monster know the ecstasy of monsterization and the happiness that follows it, so they tend to be more strongly inclined to doing it.
- ↑ Early settings info, The Order: For that reason, they are fiercely hostile towards the monsters which drown in pleasure and corrupt humans. They claim that "The monsters are evil." and in many of the churches, they hide the truth about the monsters and are spreading the lie, "Monsters kill and eat people," among the humans.
- ↑ Witch profile: Originally they were human women but they sought "eternal youth" and "extreme power."
- ↑ Fallen Maidens, CASE STUDY Ritual: Along with their god echidna, they hold monsters in an entirely positive light. They desire the power to bind what they want to themselves the way that monsters, especially lamia family monsters can. Human girls brought up that way since early childhood strongly desire to become monsters themselves and acquire a beautiful, alluring snake body.
- ↑ Baphomet Complex, Section 2: "My words gave birth to terror and despair. If anyone found out that I'd been turned into a monster, people would certainly come to suppress me at once. Of course, I wouldn't be able to stay in this town anymore. If that happened, I probably wouldn't be able to be with big brother anymore, either."
- ↑ Lesser Succubus profile
- ↑ Fallen Maidens, Monsterization Physical Changes
- ↑ Fallen Maidens, Monsterization Physical Changes: "If one has sex with that body, the amount of pleasure received is many times greater than the pleasure that can be obtained by having sex with a human body. In the case of human women, the pleasure is so powerful that their mind cannot process it and they'd pass out"
- ↑ Usually this means having just demonic energy inside them, but there are marginal cases. Monster elementals have elemental magic too; incubi have spirit and demonic energy; and very small quantities of demonic energy can be tolerated by females without snowballing into monsterization.
- ↑ Skeleton profile: Zombies and other undead type monsters can fundamentally never rise from a man's corpse; however, in the skeleton's case, magical energy doesn't dwell within the body, the body itself is made up of magical energy. They are an exception, and men's bones can become monsters too.
- ↑ Baphomet Complex, Section 4: "At the sight of the person who, in a certain sense, could be called my benefactor—no, my mother—I raised myself on the bed and smiled sweetly."
- ↑ MGE-1, The Utopia the Demon Lord Dreams Of
- ↑ MGE-1, The Beautiful Yokai: Although they don't serve the demon lord directly, it is thanks to the demon lord that they've been changed into their present forms, enabling them to live even more closely with humans. Since the monsters of Zipangu are extremely happy about this, none of them have bad opinions of the demon lord.
- ↑ And the fate of the monster males is a question of some pathos amongst English fans. Did the males get magically converted to females? And if so, did your baphomet waifu used to be a hulking, muscular devil-goat behemoth with a demon ram's cock the size of a python? Nobody knows!!?1!
- ↑ MGE-1, What Comes Next for the Fairy Kingdom: Lately, they've been proactively having a lot of cultural exchange with the organization sabbath (p.184) that baphomet (p.180) leads. The fairies are being indoctrinated in various methods of using their small, childish bodies for the sake of further enjoyment with human men, and getting to feel even better.

Atomizer Coil
Atomizer coil
The atomizer coil is an essential part of all vaping devices. It is responsible for heating the vape juice to create the vapor cloud. Without a functioning atomizer coil, your vaping device is as good as useless. Generally, atomizer coils comprise three major components: the casing, wick, and resistance wire.
The type and quality of your atomizer coil is a significant determinant of your vaping experience. If you wish to get high-quality replacement coils for your vaping device, Humboldt Vape Tech should be the first online shop that comes to mind.
What are the classifications of atomizer coils?
Depending on their properties, atomizer coils are broadly classified into two:
RBA head or rebuildable atomizer: this type of atomizer coil has both the cotton and resistance wires in the building deck. The cotton is passed through the coils, which are wound around the atomizer post.
Complete core or clearomizer: this type features processed coil heads that can be directly replaced with sub-ohm tanks. The coils may be either vertically or horizontally wounded, depending on the vaper's preferences.
How often should you change your atomizer coil?
Every vaper knows the telltale signs of a failing atomizer coil, less impressive clouds, burnt taste on vape juice, and a weird gurgling noise whenever you take a puff. The moment you start experiencing any of these signs, you should consider changing your coil.
As a precautionary measure, you should change your coil every couple of weeks. However, factors such as how frequently you vape, how much power you use, and the VG content of your vape juice could affect the longevity of your coil.
If you're using a vape juice with high VG content, use a high voltage on your vape mod, or puff away all day, you would need to change your atomizer coil more often.
How do you change an atomizer coil?
Although different vaping devices may differ in their architecture, the general structure remains the same in most cases. The atomizer head is usually attached to your device's stem, and the coil lies inside. To change your atomizer coil:
- Unscrew the glass tank from the battery and drain any remaining vape juice out of the tank
- Unscrew the atomizer coil. You might need a paper towel for this task if your atomizer is coated in liquid.
- Screw the new coil in place and refill your device with vape juice.
Changing your atomizer coil is as simple as it gets, and it shouldn't take you more than a few minutes. Once you've refilled the device, you might need to wait a few minutes for the vape juice to soak into the wick. Firing your device immediately could burn the wick, and you'll have to buy another atomizer coil.
Get the best atomizer coils
A lot of people complain of having a less enjoyable vaping experience since the first time they changed their atomizer coils. Well, they probably did not get quality atomizer coils. You can save yourself the hassle of buying coils week in week out by shopping for the best products at Humboldt Vape Tech.Atomizer Coil

I remember a long time ago when I was watching television, a commercial came on with an older man discussing medication to enhance male performance. I thought about my parents and I had to say to myself, "There is no way that my older parents are having sex! Not at their age… they are way too old for that!" I was blown away when one day I accidently went over to their house without notice—and found them in bed. OOPS!
Many of us question: do older people have sex on their minds and are there age limits for when we're supposed to stop having sex? The answer is a great big YES to sex and NO, there are no limits as to when one will stop wanting to have sex. As a matter of fact, I began to ask all of my patients about their sexual relationships in order to have a better understanding.
There were two schools of thoughts, both being very normal:
1) Enough already; I'd rather read a book or knit than have sex.
2) I am very active and I just love having sex.
Older people do have sex. More importantly, older people also have the same exposure to the risks of sexual encounters that younger people have, including Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs)
There are no exceptions. For example:
An older woman goes to her doctor and she is diagnosed with an abnormal pap smear including the high risk Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), which can cause her risk of cervical cancer. In this case, she had been married for 40 years and her husband died of cancer ten months ago. After grieving her husband, she finally found a new man. The woman began having a sexual relationship with her new boyfriend. In all the years before she met her new boyfriend and started having sex with him, she had never had an abnormal pap smear.
Now you may be thinking that the woman was infected by her new boyfriend, a quick conclusion, but let's think about this a little bit more. One of the questions that one must consider when thinking about who transmitted it to her is who could have given the virus to her:
A) Her Husband
B) Her Boyfriend
C) Or was she exposed to it prior to being with her husband, all those years ago, due to other relationships she may have had in which she could have contracted the virus which then laid dormant all these years?
The truth is: it could be all of the above, for the virus can present itself when our immune response is down, lay dormant, and not actually "blossom" for days or weeks or, in this case, years. Just think about how your body responds when you are run down and you get a cold or flu virus.
Her doctor must now do further testing to find out if her virus and abnormal pap is more advanced or not. This means the doctor will do a colposcopy, a procedure in which a high-powered microscope is used to find the area of the cervix that is infected. The doctor will then actually take some of the tissue (a "biopsy") to test, instead of just a swab done with a pap. The colposcopy provides valuable information in order to determine how the abnormal pap should be treated.
As most of you know, a lot of information about sexually transmitted diseases and other health conditions can be gathered via the Internet these days. We doctors realize this too. Just make sure you are looking it up on valid websites such as Web MD or the Center for Disease Control (or CDC). Once you have gathered the information, discuss it with your OB/GYN and ask for guidance about treatment and other cautionary measures to take.
If you have been keeping up with the social media sites and publications that tend to cover celebrity stories, you may have heard stories recently regarding Michael Douglas and references to HPV. As a result, you may have learned that the HPV virus can also be found orally as well as in the genital areas of both men and women who are having sexual relations and oral sex.
This blog, however, is not about the treatment of HPV. It is about situations like the one described above where this beautiful older woman, who could really be any of us, now faces a threat to her life. How does she deal with where it came from? After all, her husband of 40 years is now dead, and she cannot even ask or confront him about it. Does she suddenly doubt that he was faithful? Does the possibility of his being unfaithful ruin their entire past relationship verses considering her new relationship with her boyfriend, someone who now—after all this time—she has finally found and who she wishes to share the rest of her life?
Let's take this one step at a time:
1) The love of her life – her husband. Should her entire 40-year relationship be discredited?
A) She can't ask him if he was unfaithful or not. Her opportunity to ask this question has passed on with him.
B) Can she forgive him, even if it was his fault?
C) Can she live with the fact that it may or may not have been him and just go on with her life? And that she may never know if it was him or not?
D) After all, 40 years is a long time to honor and love each other.
E) Is there a chance that she will not allow herself to get the best treatment due to her embarrassment, anger and confusion? Will she be willing to decrease her stress, anxiety and anger so she can get the help she needs?
2) Her Boyfriend:
A) Does he know anything about his past wife's pap smears? Is his wife deceased or are they divorced? Did she have cervical cancer? (That would increase his chances of being a carrier of the HPV virus.)
B) Did he have multiple partners, for he could indeed be a carrier of the HPV himself and not even know he was or that he was passing it on?
C) Has he gone to his own doctor to get himself checked out? Does he have a wart? He may not have anything showing, but he could still be a carrier.
D) What are his true feelings towards her? Will he be with her and provide comfort and support while she is being tested and treated?
E) Does she have open communication with her boyfriend to discuss wearing condoms and how to prevent re-infection?
F) Is there trust, commitment, openness and love between her and her boyfriend, all important ingredients that are needed for the stability of their relationship?
G) Does she feel the feelings of partnership, safety and nurturing from her partner?
The two biggest questions that are asked most often by older people include:
Question 1: Do I need to get a pap smear after a certain age or after a hysterectomy?
Answer: Absolutely. You can get vaginal cancer, vulvar cancer, or rectal cancer as well as oral cancer during any time that you are sexually active, throughout your lifetime.
Question 2: Do I need to get a pap smear after age 50? My doctor says I do not need them anymore.
Answer: Absolutely. You need an OB/GYN doctor to examine you. What are they looking for? Moles, discoloration, and any changes in anatomy that can cause painful sex or bleeding after sexual relations.
Many times the OB/GYN providers are the only ones who not only do pelvic exams but also rectal exams (because yes, you can get HPV there as well) to check and hopefully screen for rectal and colon cancers.
Many patients who bleed vaginally or rectally are sometimes told "it's normal" or "it's only hemorrhoids" by their doctors. Please have your doctor actually look at your pelvic or rectal area and examine you. You need to be an advocate for your own health and care.
This is all about you, so you can be your own advocate and get the proper information from your healthcare provider in order for you to make the best choices for your body.
No matter what age you are, now when you are faced with the fact that you have an abnormal pap and you are in a relationship, it is important for you to find the treatment you need and this is also about you and your happiness. It is about your enjoyment of your sexual relationship at any age with your partner; just do it safely.
Be cautious out there, you fine ladies, and remember: you are such precious cargo. Do not let anything or anyone harm you. Identify and fortify your relationship with strength, trust, and love, and protect your health and your partner's.
I wish you all safe sex and enjoyment!
Dr. Christina

The British Interplanetary Society (BIS)
The British Interplanetary Society (BIS) promotes the exploration and use of space for the benefit of humanity, by connecting people to create, educate and inspire, and advance knowledge in all aspects of astronautics.
The British Interplanetary Society is Britain's leading think tank on space development. Founded in 1933, it is the world's longest established organization devoted solely to supporting and promoting the exploration of space and astronautics. The BIS is financially independent, has charitable status, and obtains its main income from a worldwide membership.
The British Interplanetary Society is devoted to initiating, promoting and disseminating new concepts and technical information about space flight and astronautics through meetings, symposia, publications, visits and exhibitions.
The British Interplanetary Society's headquarters are located in Central London, within 5 minutes walk from local Underground, Rail and Bus Stations – enabling easy access for visitors to the Society.
Membership of the British Interplanetary Society (BIS)
Membership (non-corporate) of the British Interplanetary Society is open to all and intended for those with a general interest in astronautics.
Fellowship (the corporate grade) of the British Interplanetary Society is restricted to those with professional interests and qualifications.
A Brief History of the British Interplanetary Society
The British Interplanetary Society was founded in 1933 by a group of space flight enthusiasts who dreamed of using rocket propulsion to fly to the Moon and the planets. The word "Interplanetary" in the British Interplanetary Society's title was not intended to limit attention only to those nearby worlds that circle our Sun, but to cover space exploration activities in general – even in the most distant visions to conceive of travel across interstellar space.
In the years before World War II a technical core of BIS members made first plans for a rocket capable of landing three men on the Moon and returning them to Earth. After World War II members of the Society developed ideas for the exploration of outer space including developing liquid rockets for launch into space, the construction of Space Stations, the human exploration of the Moon, the development of probes to investigate other planets in our Solar System and the use of space telescopes to observe distant stars and galaxies. Arthur C. Clarke first suggested the concept of communications satellites in a private memorandum to Fellows of the Society prior to first publication in 1945.
In 1951 the BIS organized the world's first International Congress on "The Artificial Satellite", and became one of the founder members of the International Astronautical Federation (IAF).
Earth Remote Sensing was initially advocated and studied at an international level at its NATO Conference in the 1950s, with space biology following soon afterwards. Currently it has been concerned with how to preserve life on Earth in the face of various potential calamities.
Soviet and Chinese Space Studies
The British Interplanetary Society also provided certain of its members a route for publication of information and analysis on the Soviet (and more recently the Chinese) Space Programmes at a time when detailed information on these programmes was difficult to come by at first hand.
Technical Studies
Planetary studies began with papers examining the propulsion requirements to reach Mars and Venus, as well as projected instruments for scientific probes. Advocacy of studies on comets and meteors helped further the Giotto mission to Halley's Comet and later the ESA Rosetta mission. A number of papers during the 1990s also looked at the problems of making other planets (principally Mars) more hospitable to human habitation through "terraforming."
Studies and long term thinking on human spaceflight and launch vehicle development have always been a core area of activity amongst Society members, with the visionary early work on the BIS Lunar Lander, the Orbital Launcher and various other space launchers and space stations. More recently, it is from the minds of BIS Members and Fellows that have sprung concepts such as HOTOL, Interim HOTOL, SKYLON, HEM and ANZOU – leading in some cases to hardware development.
Advanced Studies
With the demise of the Apollo Program in 1972, the British Interplanetary Society continued to encourage exploration of ideas on the possibilities of a return to the Moon and its eventual colonization.
The Society's first definitive paper on the requirements for Interstellar Travel appeared in JBIS as long ago as 1952. In the late 1970s a group of members worked together on the design of a possible interstellar vehicle that was published in 1981 as the Daedalus Study. From this followed many papers concerned with communications with extraterrestrial intelligences (SETI) and associated studies.
More recently a group within the Society has initiated a series of studies on the scientific and technical objectives of conducting a human exploration of the Martian North Polar Cap (Project Boreas), and another group within the Society has initiated a follow on study to the Daedalus Interstellar Starprobe, called Project Icarus.

One of the most famous temples in Pune, Chaturshringi Mountain is located on the top of a hill right on the Senapati Bapat Road. It is said to have been built during the reign of the Maratha king Chhatrapati Shivaji Raje Bhosle. The presiding deity of the temple is Goddess Chaturshringi, also known as Goddess Ambareshwari. To reach the main sanctum of the temple, tourists will have to climb approximately 100 stairs but the view of the hill that one gets from the top is worth all the efforts.
As per the legends, the temple was built by Durlabhsheth Pitambardas Mahajan, an ardent believer of Goddess Chaturshringi. One night, the goddess appeared in the dream of the Pitambardas Mahajan and indicated him to come to a mountain. He also dreamed that at the mountain, where the main idol of the temple is dug. Next day, he followed the dream where, and fortunately found a statue. A few days later, he built a temple at the same place where the statue was found.
Senapati Bapat Road, Chaturshrungi, Pashan, Pune, Maharashtra 411016
The buses and cabs are available only till the parking area. From the parking area, tourists will have to climb approximately 100 stairs so as to reach the main temple.
06:00 AM to 09:00 PM
The best time to visit the temple will be during the festival celebration as this when one can see the temple in full pomp and show. Navratri, Holi, Chaitra Padwa, and Ganesh Chaturthi are the best time to visit the temple.

Chinese Internet giants identified as 'notorious markets' for piracy
The U.S. Trade Representative identified Baidu, China's biggest search engine, and Taobao, China's biggest e-commerce website, as "notorious markets" linked to sales of pirated and counterfeit goods.
According to the Business Week report, Baidu links to websites that sell items without the copyright holders' permission. On the other hand, Taobao is being used by outside merchants to sell counterfeit items, with minimal filtering and intervention.
The two Chinese companies were among more than 30 Internet and physical markets worldwide identified by the U.S. Trade Representatives as "notorious markets" for facilitating the illegal trade of goods or materials protected by copyright or patents. Other websites listed include torrentz.com; ThePirateBay, 91.com and Rutracker based in Russia, according to the statement. The U.S. agency said the list was not a legal finding but an effort to call attention to abuses and encourage governments to stop them.
In a written statement, an Alibaba spokesman, John Spelich, said: "We appreciate the USTR's acknowledgment of our ongoing efforts to work with brand owners in protecting their intellectual property rights and we will continue to work closely with brand owners and others to further enhance the level of trust and integrity in our online marketplaces for the benefit of all our stakeholders."
China is the leading source of fake and counterfeit goods despite repeated government crackdowns, with the latest one targeting online piracy to strengthen Internet IPR.

I have some questions/comments for people more in the know than I am
about the current state of the art in optimization. It regards writing
generic code and having it translated into efficient machine code on a
variety of different machines.
It would be really nice if I could write one general purpose matrix
multiply routine like (schematicly and in FORTRAN notation):
do i=1,n1
do j=1,n2
do k=1,n3
c(i,j) = c(i,j) + a(i,k)*b(k,j)
and use it everywhere. It is simple, it is correct (though incomplete of
course), it works for any size arrays, and simple modifications will allow
non-unit skips. And with many compilers available today it will be dog
slow. I'm talking here largely about workstation compilers, and though
this example is in FORTRAN notation this effect is just as prevalent in C.
I have experience with MIPS, Sparc, and i860 processors and they all have
large rewards (huge for the i860) for tuning based on cache use and
integer multiplies.
The tuning involves things like the size of cache and the relative
size of each of the arrays, the pipeline structure of the processor, etc.
If the arrays will all fit in cache then one way of coding this is best.
If one will and the other won't then a second is best. If you know that
'c(i,j)' starts out in cache then a third is best. And of course
everything changes when you go to a vector machine. That means that the
correct routine will be different in different parts of the program or on
different destination computers. It is obviously bad for my productivity
to have to worry about such things; I want the compiler to worry about it.
Now, I picked matrix multiply because it is a conceptually simple
operation, easy to explain and discuss. I don't mean to get into the
issues of FORTRAN 90 with builtin array types, I mean to discuss the
general issue of producing different object code for the same source code
depending on context, not just plugging in canned routines based on a
couple of flags.
It seems to me that this is a very important issue for the languages
that explicitly try to increase code reusability and maintain high
performance. As long as there is strong incentive for people to worry
about the details of each machine, they will produce code that depends on
it and is therefore not portable.
My question is how much work is going into interprocedural
optimization, and I'm looking for people's estimates of the potential for
this line of research, and how good interprocedural optimization would
change how people write code. My own feeling -- from writing a bunch of
i860 mathematical libraries -- is that there's a lot of potential here and
it would drasticly improve my productivity in writing scientific codes
that are performance limited, but it may be a lot of work.

32-year old Tao Liu works as a water meter reader for the Hefei Water Supply Company. He travels up and down the city on his motorbike and into streets and alleys to knock on doors and write down numbers. His job is mechanical and tedious, but it also allows him to visit every nook and corner of the city. Taking advantage of the nature of the job, Liu started taking photos, but unlike your average street photographer, Liu's photos are laced with black humor - a glamorous girl on a poster appears to be kissing (or smelling) the bottom of a casually dressed man as he bends down to pick up something, the shadow of a man perfectly enclosed within a frame and a dog's head appearing to replace a person's body.

The St. Patties Day Parade is going on a block from me
On Fifth Avenue.
I really hate parades.
I do.
I'm sorry but throngs of humanity rubbing stupid elbows
Make me want to throw away my encyclopedia of the universe.
My wife sends me on an errand to 5th and 72nd.
A bunch of high school girls walk by playing horns.
Idiots blowing air.
I would stay and see what's up
But I am feeling down and want to get away from the crowds.
I hate them.
But in a little corner of my psychological map
I am somewhat thrilled by their enthusiasm.
Maybe I should stay?
I think of the Clash singing "Should I stay or should I go?
I go.
I don't want to see the happy gay contingent.
De Blasio is so thrilled with himself by including them marching.
He thinks he is the voice of New York.
He is the expelled gas.
Marching is kind of a gay thing to do anyway.
What's it to me and what are they to my life?
I don't care.
I breathe the air of my own reality and my values so different
From the majorettes of political correctness.
F..k St. Patties Day Parade.
F..k every parade there ever was or will be.
Parades are militaristic groupings carrying tubas instead of guns.
Make me no part of this.
I am not the idiot in the celebration of the trivial.
I am not the emptiness of an annoying drum.

When an update arrives at the RangeServer, it first gets written to a commit log and then it goes into an in-memory table structure.

As it stands now, when the RangeServer comes up, it cannot read the commit log file until the soft lease limit has expired. This causes the RangeServer to hang with all of the ranges that it was managing unaccessible. > We would like to be able to configure the soft lease limit per-file so that we can set the limit to 0 for our commit log files.

Thanksgiving shouldn't be hard! People get SO stressed about this holiday (myself included) because there is just so.much.to.do.
I get that, I do.
BUT, it is my so humble opinion that people make things harder on themselves than they really need to by insisting on making everything themselves and ON THANKSGIVING.
Thanksgiving is for giving thanks and getting drunk, people.
Not slaving in the kitchen.
So, it is with that list of weird statements that I will yet again force on you the majesty of roasted tomatoes. They're right there! Click on the link and MAKE THEM for this week.
I roasted 4 whole cans of them last night and will take them to 3 different thanksgivings - I don't have to worry about them for the rest of the week! They're fully cooked in oil in my fridge and have no danger of spoiling, but they aren't STRESSING ME THE HECK OUT.
The pilgrims would have wanted it this way.
The pilgrims also would have wanted me to give you the following list of things that you can make SO EARLY and just warm through on Thursday, or whenever you celebrate Thanksgiving (or just have a big meal - they're all equally stressful!).
- Mac and Cheese - use this recipe but use whatever herbs you have on hand or nothing at all for picky eaters - you can make this today and bake it at 375F for an hour until it's bubbly whenever you'd like to eat it. Is the oven at a different temperature for something else that's cooking for the meal? No worries. If it's lower, let the mac and cheese cook longer. If it's higher, take it out sooner. It'll be just fine!
- Pickled Onion Salad - there's nothing wrong with a few veggies at Thanksgiving, people! Make the onions whenever you get a chance, then cut up the tomatoes or whatever veggies you'd like to use. Store each veggie separately in it's own container, then when you're ready to serve toss the onions, veggies, herbs, and salt and pepper together. Easy and zero fuss right before you serve.
- Mashed Potatoes - same thing here. I make these a day or two in advance (or early in the morning if your family is more thankful in the evening) and then LEAVE THEM IN THE POT. When you're ready to serve put the potatoes back on the stove over low heat for 20 minutes or so with an extra 1/2 cup of milk. Stir them every 10 minutes to make sure they don't stick and add more milk if they start to dry out. They're ready when they're the temperature you'd like them to be. Better yet, go fancy and make Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes!
- Roasted Beets - make these as soon as you can, they'll keep for eons too! Roast them just like the recipe says and keep them in the fridge until you're ready to serve them. Then, put them in the oven if you have space at 300 for about 30 minutes, or microwave them for 2 minutes and call it a day. No one will ever know!
- Other human beings - I wouldn't necessarily recommend cooking them for any length of time, but chances are that if you're hosting Thanksgiving other people will offer to help you with shopping, preparation, or by bringing things. Let them! Why the heck not?
This is all I have for you, my friends. Please don't stress about this week - enjoy the craziness of cooking, eating, drinking, and appreciate your loved ones. Let me know what you end up making, I'll need new ideas for Christmas!

The documentaries I cover on reality blurred are those that, like the very best reality shows, tell the true, dramatic, entertaining stories of real people.
So, while I had no doubt it'd be informative and interesting, I didn't plan to cover Ken Burns' latest documentary opus, The National Parks: America's Best Idea, which began its six night, 12-hour run on PBS last night.
Then, in August, I heard Burns tell this story to TV critics. Burns had told his crew that he hadn't ever been to a national park, but just before production began, he told us:
"And the last night, I suddenly couldn't sleep and lay awake and realized that I had forgotten—hadn't repressed—I had forgotten this moment in 1959 when I was six years old and my mother was dying of cancer and our household was an unbelievably demoralized place.
My father was absent in every sense of that word. No catches in the backyard, no attendance at ball games. Very hard, hard situation. My mother would die in 1965 after many, many agonizing years. That destabilized our family in every way imaginable.
But one day, and I had forgotten this, after school my father had taken me from our home in Delaware to his home in Baltimore and put me to bed in his old bedroom in his old bed and woke me up in the middle of night and took me to Front Royal, Virginia and the top of the Skyline Drive that runs down the spine of Shenandoah National Park.
And we spent the first and only road trip I ever spent with my dad, who passed away a year and a half before this — way too young — at this time that we were filming in Yosemite.
…It had performed a kind of open-heart surgery that permitted me to remember something that had been lost in all of the other stuff. And I can remember the songs my dad sang. I can remember the hikes we took. I remember, most importantly, what his hand felt in mine. The songs that I had sung to my three daughters that are permanently part of my hard drive now, I had forgotten where I had learned them. It was on this trip. So for me, Shenandoah, which is a relatively small park … but I think it's so much so for me because it awakened me and was able to permit me to reclaim something. And I think that we find that again and again and again."
That story, which made me instantly recall my own childhood family visits to national parks, like Great Smoky Mountains National Park, makes it clear that Burns' film is "a story of people," as PBS says on its web site.
That applies to how people experience the parks (PBS is soliciting and publishing those stories online) and also in the way that, as PBS says, "people from every conceivable background — rich and poor; famous and unknown; soldiers and scientists; natives and newcomers; idealists, artists and entrepreneurs; people who were willing to devote themselves to saving some precious portion of the land they loved, and in doing so reminded their fellow citizens of the full meaning of democracy."
Here's an extended preview of the series, which continues tonight (check your local listings) and is narrated by Peter Coyote.

As Beggars Banquet's Currey Fountain put it, "Hors d'oeuvres are the first area where we can really highlight what is unique to any couple or family." But that doesn't mean your caterer can't get a little creative on their own. We asked three local caterers to choose their top passed offerings: their own favorite, their clients' favorite, and their most original. Here's what they came up with.
From Mike Lund, owner of Mike Lund Food
Chef's choice
Miniature falafel with cucumber tzatziki.
"I make a potent little falafel mixture with chickpeas, green peas, parsley, and pickled carrots. That is flash-fried and placed on a round of naan lined with marinated cucumber and a dollop of tzatziki."
Client favorite
BBQ shrimp and grits (top)
"It doesn't matter how many I bring to an event, it's never enough!"
From Currey Fountain, Executive Chef and co-owner of Beggars Banquet
Chef's choice
Sushi-grade Maguro with a Thai pickled chili and pickling brine.
"As you can probably imagine, this one is for a very particular palate—mine!"
Client favorite
Sweet potato biscuits with Kite's Country Ham and Yoder's apple butter.
"The heart can be a nice touch."
Most original
Diced ahi tuna tartar in a cucumber cup with chive sticks, wasabi, lemon, and sea salt.
"It's not something I'd keep in constant rotation, but the couple loved it and that's what it's all about."
From Sarah Sargent, Director of Catering at The Catering Outfit
Chef's choice
Pork belly bites.
Toasted, bite-sized challah bread with a tarragon aioli, torn butter lettuce, a bite-sized piece of slow roasted pork belly, and housemade local tomato jam.
Client favorite
Ham biscuits.
"This family recipe takes a Sister Schubert's yeast roll brushed with brown sugar butter and filled with country ham. Simple yet divine!"
Most original
Snapping turtle shooters: a hearty turtle chili in a shot glass, topped with Trump Winery Cru reduction crème fraiche.
"A client mentioned to us that one of her fondest food memories was her father catching snapping turtles and making soup for her as a kid. So at her tasting, we surprised her."

On Saturday, March 15, 2014, publicist Jeff Abraham announced Brenner has died at the age of 78. (Uncredited) View 5 more images (Newser) – Other veteran comics could head straight to The Tonight Show couch to banter with Johnny Carson, but David Brenner had to do a stand-up routine when he was a guest. Finally, Carson told a puzzled Brenner why. "I like to sit back, smoke a cigarette and laugh for six minutes," Brenner, in a 2013 interview with CBS, recalled him saying. Carson's regard for Brenner, who died in his New York City home yesterday at age 78 after battling cancer, made him one of the most frequent visitors to Tonight as a guest and substitute host who was on more than 150 times. story continues below The lanky, toothy-grinned Brenner's brand of observational comedy became a staple for other standups, including Jerry Seinfeld and Paul Reiser. "David Brenner was a huge star when I met him and he took me under his wing. To me, historically, he was the godfather of hip, observational comedy," comedian Richard Lewis said in a statement. But he didn't achieve the success of Seinfeld's self-titled NBC sitcom or Reiser's Mad About You, and he saw Jay Leno follow Carson as Tonight host. "I really believe that had ... Johnny Carson retired in the early '80s, then I would be sitting behind that desk," he told the AP in 1995. "I don't think there's any doubt." In a statement, his family said he left a last laugh: A final request that $100 in small bills be placed in his left sock "just in case tipping is recommended where I'm going."

Los Angeles Rams: C
This was kind of a bizarre draft for the Rams, who didn't have a Round 1 pick because of their trade to take Jared Goff last year. After sitting out Thursday's proceedings, GM Les Snead then spent three of his first four picks on pass catchers—TE Gerald Everett (a reach at 44), WR Cooper Kupp (No. 59) and WR Josh Reynolds (No. 119). Reynolds may be the best of the bunch, and he very well could wind up the No. 1 receiver before long on what's now a muddled receiver depth chart. Versatile safety John Johnson (No. 91) and DT Tanzel Smart (No. 189) should see time early in Wade Philliips's defense. OLB Samson Ebukam (No. 125) also could, as a pass rusher. But the Rams really overloaded at the skill positions, which is an unusual choice for a rebuilding team.

A Tweed Affair with Pretty Quirky Hire
A Tweed Affair with Pretty Quirky Hire
We have worked with Jack and the team at Pretty Quirky Hire for quite a few years now and are always impressed with their unique and creative flair when it comes to styling weddings. They really know what works and the results are always amazing. Their photo shoots are certainly no exception. Here, we have a quirky photo shoot which took place at a very unique location and Jack tells us all about it;
"Our team of local, professional and friendly suppliers were handpicked to enhance all the details I wanted to squeeze in"
"Wymondham windmill is a beautiful mill nestled away in the Leicestershire hills, surrounded by grazing horses and quiet roads. A rare and peaceful haven that has lots to offer including its very own quaint tearooms. The owners of the mill are working hard to restore it to its former glory and are full of passion, which I hugely admire.
Our team of local, professional and friendly suppliers were handpicked to enhance all the details I wanted to squeeze in. The choice of props were all used to embrace the natural beauty of the mill and its surroundings. The mill is a bit of a landmark for cyclists and the use of "Horace" our tandem was used to reflect this. The illuminated maple trees and LED hurricanes were used to bring a real sense of cosy twinkle through the enchanting woods that stand next to this 200 year old mill.
The Team Involved
Our creative florist Sue from Hollands Flowers added the colour to each of the scenes with her beautiful blooms. Every picture is eye catching and the flowers that Sue used matched our theme as well as the models attire beautifully.
I wanted to take the tweed trend further with our groom and inspire males as well as the females. It's important for the guys to remember they can accessorise too, maybe even change their look through the day. Robinsons of Stamford advised us perfectly on what would work and supplied everything we needed for the full Traditional British shooting look.
The 'Danielle Couture' dress from the Wedding Room in Stamford worked perfectly with it's delicate lace back and shoulders. Our model looked fabulous thanks to our hair and make up lady Kelly Warner, Kelly fitted her talents to the brief perfectly.
Harvey & Harvey Photography did a great job in capturing everything we had set out to achieve. The quality of the photos speak for themselves and showcased everyone's hard work perfectly.
