![]() You will need to site it properly to give the hedgehog a good chance. You should move it to inside a wooden hedgehog house filled with plenty of hay. If you disturb a hedgehog that has hibernated in a completely unsuitable spot – such as inside a garage that is normally left closed – then you will need to very carefully relocate the hedgehog. In that case, you must take it straight to a hedgehog rescue. If you do accidentally disturb one, cover it back up straight away – unless there is a chance that you have caused injury e.g. Don’t be tempted to tidy up piles of leaves or logs – they may be home to a hibernating hedgehog. The best advice is not to disturb a hedgehog in hibernation. You will kill the hedgehog if you try to warm it up quickly. Waking up a hibernating hedgehog is also a specialist task, so please do not try this yourself. I use a special calculator from a wildlife rescue to assess whether their weight loss in hibernation is acceptable or not. Weight checks every few weeks will alert me to any potential problems and they can be woken up again if they have lost too much weight. I only check on these hedgehogs during hibernation because they have been poorly. Please don’t read this post and think you should go around disturbing the hibernating wild hedgehogs in your garden to check on them. It may also emit a little ‘snore’! Hedgehogs also generally don’t die curled up…. ![]() You can tell that the hedgehog is hibernating and not dead by the fact that it will ‘ripple’ when touched very gently. Lucky, a hibernating hedgehog, just before his weight check A hibernating hedgehog will be completely rolled up into a tight ball with no face visible. Hibernation is a state of torpor, where the core body temperature has dropped, the heart rate and breathing have slowed right down and normal activity has stopped. ![]() The hedgehog won’t be roused by touch or by noise. These hedgehogs missed the deadline for release before the weather turned cold and, if they are well enough and heavy enough (absolute minimum of 650g), they will be allowed to hibernate in captivity. How can you tell if a hedgehog is hibernating? This is a question I am frequently asked by my foster carers, a network of special people who support me with looking after rehabilitated hedgehogs over the Winter period. The coconut curry hot pot was a rich creamy flavor. The tomato had a rich tomato flavor with fish filets and plenty of vegetables.

At one point, an animated version of the face of the album "Why Can't We Be Friends" is lip-synching as well as a man wearing a mask of the album's face. The music video for the song consists of various pimpmobiles on a typical traffic suburban style street, showing two men each driving a pimpmobile. It reached number one on the Billboard R&B charts and peaked at number 7 on the Pop Singles chart.Īccording to the Allmusic review of the song, "the lyric takes the cool image of the low rider - the Chicano culture practice of hydraulically hot-rodding classic cars - and using innuendo, extends the image to a lifestyle." The record ends up with super fast attacks in the listener's face on "Wind-Up," "Willingly Unknowing" and "There Must Be a Better Way."įor the older people who did not grow up with modern trends, the internets and the one hit wonders, but with skate melodic punk, XXL shorts and NOFX shirts, I think this record is not just a must to be listened to, but most importantly, it brings back those memories and makes you understand how lucky we've been to start listening to music with this kind of bands that were more worried about letting the anger out with good anthems than caring about the look and the fashion." Low Rider" is a song written by the band War and appearing on their album " Why Can't We Be Friends?", released in 1975. "Episode 666" is a cover song by metal band In Flames and it's nice to see a death metal song find its way into this record, even though I must say it's the weakest song of the whole CD. "Such a Shame" and its straight and intense drummings make me fall in love with this band even more, and "Such a Shame"'s non-stop harmonies deliver what is the true No Fun at All manifesto: aggressive sound and clever lyrics. There is also space for little poppy melodies as on "Forevermore," which is a kind of mid-tempo song (very Bad Religion-ian style), and also "Sorry to Say," but the space to breathe is immediately filled with the old-school Vision sound on "It's Such a Good Thing" and "Man with Powers." Low Rider keeps on getting faster with good songs like "Anything Could Happen Here" - it's like "Believers," but faster, with the super catchy " whoa"s in the choruses. The band still brings me back to my early `90s, when I listened a lot to skatepunk bands, and I must say the fact that this band remained in silence for seven long years is a plus, because they are now able to come back as a new band that has nothing to do with the new trends. "Never Ending Stream" is a classic No Fun at All tune, with some aggressive and fast guitar riffs here and there, and a slower verse "Reckless (I Don't Wanna) is a 2:20 minute kick in the face, and the guitar riff infuenced by Black Sabbath's "Airdance" is the best thing to move you in this cold winter. Don't bother me if I use the words "classic No Fun at All" too many times from now on, because it's really that way. The album is opened by the track "Mine My Mind," which has a kind of slow intro, but then it turns into a super fast-paced punk rock song, as the rest of the record is. It's especially noticeable in the production, which is more raw and direct compared to State of Flow and makes the new songs sound better than ever. Low Rider is made of 14 kick-ass songs, where there is no space for slow-oriented rock or such stuff. ![]() The band left Burning Heart Records and is releasing this new album on their own record label, Beat 'Em Down Records, and the sound drastically goes back to the band's early releases: Vision, No Straight Angels and Out of Bounds are the kind of songs that come to mind, all shaken together, on this new record. After their 2001 breakup, not too long after the release of their slowest album, State of Flow, which was not very well-taken by fans, No Fun at All is back with a new, super fast and, most importantly, independent record. Anticipated by the first single "Reckless (I Don't Wanna)," here comes the brand new full-length by Swedish punk rock band No Fun at All, a band that, together with the likes of Satanic Surfers, Millencolin and Randy, shaped European punk in the `90s. The docs state pixel variance threshold and min/max samples as how to drive quality, matching how most pathtracers these days do their thing. The docs for the hair color shading node support some nice randomization features, which rely on having per hair The houdini hair and fur tools generate this for free, but it wouldn't work in my render tests.Īfter trying a few things I realised that has to be promoted from prim to point, and then exported using the same method as shown above. This has also been fixed in H17.5/Rman22, you no longer need to do this promote dance. DON'T DELETE THIS! Turns out that's the tag renderman uses to know what attributes to export and in what format. I'd kept the width attribute, but also deleted a easily missed detail attribute, rixlate. ![]() To my surprise the renders went haywire, hair curves now the thickness of tree trunks. I did this, then applied an attribute delete sop to tidy up the stuff I didn't need. This tells houdini to export the width attribute to renderman, and to make sure it understands the width can change along the primitive length. Create an attribute rename sop, switch to the renderman tab I've never noticed before, rename width to width, and set the mode to 'varying float'. The renderman docs are pretty clear about how to render curves, hair, fur. Rixlate? An anti dandruff treatment? Maybe. Pretty sure this isn't needed anymore for 17.5/Rman22.Ħ00,000 hairs, PxrHairColor and PxrMarschnerHair, 3 seconds to export the geo to renderman, 12 seconds to render at 1280x720 And this is prman21, can't wait to try prman22. And my word, it's fast, and does full gi emission against other objects with no extra effort. So here, I had the remapped density and remapped emission plugged into the inputs, and the expression is simplyĪ nice feature of this setup is there's an exposure multiplier on the blackbody node very easy to dial the look up and down. In the end the answer was embarrassingly simple don't use semicolons, and the final line of your expression becomes the assigned value. Easy to make the node, but spent 45 minutes shouting at it when it didn't do what I wanted. As far as I can tell, you're meant to use SeExpr to do this sort of stuff. To my surprise there's no pxr mult, pxr add etc nodes. I figured if I could multiply the emission values against density, that would clip it back and look correct. ![]() Unfortunately this made all the low density areas of the volume glow red the blackbody node doesn't seem to want to go down to pure black values. The second is fed to pxr blackbody node, and then to emission. The high level idea is to take the incoming density (using a Pxr Prim Var node, NOT a default Houdini bind!), and remap it twice once to sit in a nice 0-1 range for density, and then into values that correspond to blackbody values (roughly 1000 to 6000). I then totally forgot we'd have to match that in Renderman for the lighting students using Katana, here's the results of that test. Tests inside Mantra looked great, so pushed that workflow to the studio. Had seen a few people get great results by mapping density directly into emission for volumes. She sings, "I only know when he began to dance with me I could have danced, danced, danced all night!" This right here is the closest we get to an admission of romantic feeling between Eliza and Higgins in the entire score. Eliza is euphoric, animated, jubilant - but is she in love? Later Eliza attributes her happiness to a nameless him (we can safely assume she means Higgins although I suppose Colonel Pickering is in the mix here as well). Instead, we have only "I Could Have Danced All Night" to indicate Eliza's feelings at this crucial juncture of the show.Ĭonsider the lyrics to "I Could Have Danced." In an outpouring of emotion Eliza sings, "I could have spread my wings and done a thousand things I've never done before." This is an effusive lyric. And yet, let's not forget that "Say a Prayer for Me Tonight" and "Shy" with their patently romantic texts did not make it into to the final draft. ![]() Pray that he's lonely, a ship lost at sea searching for someone exactly like me." 7 With lyrics such as these, it becomes clear that Lerner and Loewe originally intended for there to be a definite romantic arc to the show. ![]() "Say a prayer that he'll discover I'm his lover," sings Eliza, "For now and evermore. In "Shy," Eliza sings of an unrequited love: "Where are the words I long to hear? And where are the words I long to say? Why can't I open my heart?" 6 Similarly, in "Say a Prayer for Me Tonight," lyricist Alan Jay Lerner dialed up the romance. Compare for instance, the difference in text from "Shy" to "Say a Prayer for Me Tonight" to "I Could Have Danced All Night." The first of these numbers once occupied the same position in the show as "Could Have Danced" - this is the moment after the lessons montage in which Eliza reveals her feelings. Taken together these cuts seem to indicate a definite shift from what was once a clear romantic narrative to a more ambiguous relationship. 5 As musical numbers were adapted and adjusted (or cut altogether), the script was likewise subjected to a number of revisions. A substantial portion of material at the end of Act I including the "Dress Ballet," "Come to the Ball," and "Say a Prayer for Me Tonight" were all cut between the preview performances in New Haven and opening night on Broadway. Like most musicals, My Fair Lady underwent a considerable revision process before hitting the Great White Way. ![]() In the case of My Fair Lady, it is the absent material that may perhaps reveal more about the thought process of its creators. Following the closing lines of the play he writes, "The rest of the story need not be shown in action, and indeed, would hardly need telling if our imaginations were not so enfeebled by their lazy dependence on the ready-mades and reach-me-downs of the ragshop in which Romance keeps it stock of ‘happy endings’ to misfit all stories.” 3 Shaw goes on to explain that Eliza does indeed marry Freddy, although he admits that Higgins remains "one of the strongest personal interests in her life." 4 Appalled to learn that the public envisioned a romantic union between Eliza and Higgins, Shaw penned a scathing response - an epilogue to accompany the play that would clarify in no uncertain terms the fate of Miss Eliza Doolittle. Indeed, audiences began to assume a little too much for Shaw's taste. Although the original play provides no overt reconciliation or reunion for our central characters (the famous "where the devil are my slippers" scene being notably absent) one is left to assume that Eliza will eventually reunite with her former mentor and friend. ![]() What does Shaw have to say about Eliza and the men who loom large in her life? 2 How is it possible that two critics reviewing the same production with the same actors on the same evening could have come away with two such different interpretations of the show's central relationship? The answer, perhaps, can be found in Lerner and Loewe's treatment of the material, but first let's return to the source. Brooks Atkinson of the New York Times described Higgins as "a bright young man in love with fair lady." 1 Rival critic, John Chapman of the New York Daily News, referred only to the teacher/student dynamic between Higgins and Eliza and the transformation of flower girl into "hightoned lady" in his opening night review. Even among the original reviewers there is no clear consensus. Is this the tale of a burgeoning romance or a heartfelt friendship? Strong feelings certainly exist between Eliza and Higgins, but does her return at the end of Act II indicate the beginning of a new, romantic phase of their relationship? Strangely enough, audiences have never agreed on this point. These and other dentist directory features are for educational purposes only and should not be the sole basis for decision-making.

At some locations, tons of obsidian flakes reveal The manufacture of obsidian tools by humans dates back to the Stone Age. Success occurs when they are cushioned during the tumbling with smaller pieces of rough or small ceramic media. They are difficult to polish because the obsidian chips and bruises easily. People who do rock tumbling often polish Apache Tears. Those stones are now found as the black obsidian nodules. Upon hearing the story of the battle, the tears of their family members turned to stone when they hit the ground. Cavalry in 1870, the outnumbered Apaches, facing defeat, rode their horses over a cliff rather than allow themselves to be killed by their enemy.
