What is a red tick Beagle?Ī red tick is similar to a bluetick beagle in terms of ticking or speckling appearing on the white sections. The diluted areas of a merle dog may appear to be ticked, but this is natural to the merle pattern and not the same as the T locus ticking seen on ticked dogs. However, the ticking is confined to the white areas on a dog’s coat, whereas merle patches have irregular, random shapes with torn edges. The appearance of heavy ticking on a dog’s coat can sometimes be mistaken for the merle pattern. Heavy roan can cause a dog to appear almost solid-colored. Meanwhile, ticking are small, distinct spots of color on white areas of the fur, giving it a speckled appearance. Roan refers to a pattern where white and colored hairs are intermixed evenly throughout the coat for a salt-and-pepper appearance. Roan vs TickingĪlthough roaning and ticking are often used interchangeably, there are key differences between them. Solid-colored dogs can carry ticking genes but will not be expressed (not visible). Ticking is a result of specific genetic traits and is only visible in the white parts of a dog’s coat. Generally speaking, the concentration of the spots is usually heaviest on the legs and muzzle. The amount and density of ticking vary between dogs and can range from minimal to moderate. It gives the appearance of flecks or spots of color on the white fur. Ticking refers to the pattern of black hairs mixed into the white sections of a dog’s coat. The blue appearance is simply a result of the intermingling of black and white hairs. Ticking or roaning pattern develops over time.Īlthough they are commonly referred to as “blue,” they are not actually blue in color. If the area was supposed to be black, the spots will be black the same applies to tan or lemon.īluetick Beagles are born with white sections. The color of the spots usually reflects the color that would be present if the area wasn’t white. White areas may still show on some heavily speckled dogs, such as on their tails or even heads and backs. This speckling also called ticking or roaning varies in size from small spots to larger coin-sized spots. Only areas of any size affected by the S (white spotting) locus show this pattern. The blue or blue-gray appearance is due to the speckling of black hair on the white parts of the coat on the muzzle, neck, chest, belly, legs, and tail tip. Bluetick Beagle color descriptionīluetick Beagles are known for their distinctive tricolor coat of black, tan, and white. Increased hair loss is often seen in the shedding season (spring and fall) or during estrus when female dogs come into season (usually once or twice a year). The undercoat tends to be soft, oily, and dense to keep the dog warm, with a harsher outer coat keeping droplets, burrs, and foxtails at bay while running through brush.Īll double coats shed to some extent throughout the year. The Blue Tick Beagle has a short, smooth, and glossy double coat. The white part of a blue ticked beagle has black or blue flecks, hence the name. He has a long tail that is held high, a square muzzle, large expressive eyes, and long, soft floppy ears.Ī ticked or mottled beagle is a color variety of beagle. Like the traditional Beagle, the Blue Tick Beagle is a small, compact, and lean but muscular dog. Black hairs are interspersed in the white sections of the coat Price $500 to $1500 Lifespan 12 to 15 years Physical Appearance: Feels harsh to the touch Coat color Tricolor (3 colors): Combinations of black, tan/red/orange/lemon, and white. Bluetick Beagle: Overview Characteristic Description Height 13 to 16 inches Weight 20 to 25 pounds Coat type Short-haired double coat. They develop in the first few weeks after birth.įor this and much more, Scroll on. Interestingly, a bluetick pup is born without spots. The amount of black spotting (ticking or roaning) varies depending on the presence and number of certain genes. This speckling or spotting (ticking or roaning) is what gives the dog a blue-gray appearance similar to the Bluetick Coonhound. Blue-tick describes a coat pattern where the white sections of a Beagle’s coat are speckled (interspersed) with black hair. The Bluetick Beagle is similar in appearance to any purebred Beagle but with a distinct and eye-catching coat color. But the Blue Tick Beagle? What!! Yes, the Bluetick Beagle is a real thing. With the mention of the Beagle, the image of a tricolor, black and tan, or lemon dog with a white muzzle, underbelly, and tail tip, is often reminiscent. So far, it's been a great experience and just shows how well some games age. The clean UI is appealing in a logic game and, along with the dark them option, helps remove visual distractions on screen. So, I picked up the Hexcells bundle due to the similarity in puzzles and I'm enjoying it a lot. It does have a lot of complexity in shape and game options. Looking forward to re-playing them, regardless. Well, we'll see if that ever gets tweaked to my liking. Nice to see a new paint job on 'em! My one minor quibble is that the more-noticeable border on the area-effect hexes, which was in Infinite but not Plus, seems to be gone - I'd sort of hoped that Plus would get a patch to support Infinite's style, but they seem to have standardized on Plus, instead. Quoting: apocalyptechAha, lovely! I've always loved these. (There's one instance of Globesweeper using a notation which is used in Hexcells for something completely different, which will take a bit of getting used to once you run into it, but it's easy enough to adjust.) Looking forward to re-playing them, regardless.Īnd, not that I want to deflect attention from Hexcells itself, but if anyone liked the Hexcells series and was looking for more, I'd recommend Globesweeper: Hex Puzzler - It's sort of "Hexcells But 3D," but also adds in a bunch of other mechanics not seen in any of the Hexcells game. Article taken from .Īha, lovely! I've always loved these. Step by step explanation to completing Hexcells Plus lvl 4-5 perfectly. Brown did a wonderful job crafting a set of great puzzle games here, that takes clear inspiration from some classics including Minesweeper while having their own unique brain-twisting added to the mix. I have to admit, I had never played any of them until this week and I have now joined the ranks of the many who will happily sing its praises. I've yet to try Brown's other games but they're also on sale, see the dedicated Steam page here. The Hexcells complete pack is also up on Humble Store with DRM-free copies but no sale there. To top it off, all of Brown's puzzle games on Steam are on a massive sale at 70% off: The first two games also gained mid-level save states and cloud saves, with the third entry Infinite getting a hard mode for the level generator and level listings for custom puzzles. Each in the series got a nice 2.0 version bump adding in new options like-a dark mode! Hooray! Now you can relax, solve some puzzles and not get eye-strain. One thing has bugged me though, which is how god damn bright it is. YouTube videos require cookies, you must accept their cookies to view. Spike flaunted his new unfettered freedom in front of her as he savored each scoop of ice cream. Sweat formed on Twilight's brow as she tried to keep from moving. Twilight had prohibited him from binging on sweets, but now that she was immobilized, he was free to do as he pleased. eat an entire tub of ice cream!" Spike momentarily left the room and returned almost immediately with a large tub of strawberry ice cream that was nearly as big as he was. He knew that as long as she remained in her current state, he could do anything he wanted. "Really?" Spike said, "So, no matter what happens, you're not gonna' move a muscle, huh?" The wheels in Spike's head were turning as he looked at Twilight's immobile frame. "If I stand right here and don't move a muscle until next Tuesday, I can't possibly do whatever it is that future Twilight wanted to warn me not to do!" Twilight said hopefully. Teleporting out of her hoof hewn hole, Twilight appeared beside a bookshelf and stood stock still. "I did everything I could think of to change the future, but it didn't work," Twilight Sparkle said, "So maybe it's not what I do, maybe it's what I don't do!" Twilight continued pacing as she worried about what to do. "I don't have time for another one of your lectures, Spike," Twilight Sparkle said, "This is serious!" Twilight stood in a deep trench of her own making and stared impatiently at her assistant. "Maybe you ought to give the pacing a rest," Spike said, stifling a laugh, "You've worn a groove into the floor." Nothing she did made her feel as though she had prevented the unknown disaster from happening. In spite of preparing the town, she didn't feel any safer. Twilight Sparkle paced nervously in Ponyville Library.

Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, 2007 (PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, Xbox 360, Wii, PC, Mac) This is the best full-band Guitar Hero.Ģ. The no-fail Party Play mode opens up the experience considerably, as does the flexibility of using any combination of the four instruments. World Tour has the better soundtrack, but Guitar Hero 5’s expanded social features give this one the edge. The soundtrack covers a broad range of genres, from Children of Bodom to Coldplay. The result is a solid party-ready game with a little something for everyone. Pleasing both types of these fans with one product is a tall order, but that didn’t stop Neversoft from trying. Conversely, there was a flood of more casual gamers and non-gamers drawn to the novelty and social aspect of Guitar Hero. Neversoft would later try to appease these shredders with the punishing endgame in Warriors of Rock. On one hand, there were the hardcore fans, the 40 percent who played the game on expert within a month of release, as acknowledged by project lead Brian Bright. The design choices are indicative of the identity crisis the series was going through in 2009. Guitar Hero 5 sits in the middle of the ranking for a variety of reasons. Guitar H(PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, PlayStation 2) Up next: DragonForce, South Park, DLC, and more.ģ. Additionally, technical issues with both the drums and guitar strum bar keep World Tour from being the superior full-band experience in the Guitar Hero catalog. However, World Tour lacks the social modes that made Guitar Hero 5 so great. Classic rock, the series’ workhorse, is well-represented alongside a handful of songs from the ‘80s, ‘90s and ‘00s. World Tour’s 86-song soundtrack is a survey course on some of the best guitar-driven music of the past 50 years. Rock Band offered the superior full band experience at the time, but World Tour had a better drum-peripheral design (when it actually recognized hits). The ball was in Guitar Hero’s court, and Activision responded with World Tour. Rock Band debuted the cohesive package of vocals, drums, bass and guitar in 2007. Guitar Hero: World Tour, 2008 (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, PlayStation 2, PC, Mac)īy November 2008, Guitar Hero was playing catch-up. Guitar Hero set the standard for the series, but it can’t stand toe-to-toe with the beefier later entries.Ĥ. The game hasn’t aged well, sadly, and the lack of a lag calibration option can cause issues when revisiting it on HDTVs. Campaign mode is a simple march through the soundtrack, with no guitar battles, special abilities, or full band shenanigans to be found. Guitar Hero now seems quaint compared to its many sequels – there are only 30 main songs, all of them covers ranging from listenable to downright sacrilegious. Looking at how expansive the later games would become, it’s hard to believe they all started from such a bare-bones beginning. The franchise needed a massive overhaul by this point, and Warriors of Rock wasn’t it. Even an epic rendition of Rush’s entire 2112 suite just isn’t enough. They aren’t beloved mascots like Sonic or Mario that can carry an entire game. Guitar Hero was never about these characters or their stories. Series regulars like Johnny Napalm and Judy Nails have upgradeable abilities to help chase after a ludicrous sum of stars (up to 40 per song now). Narrated by a bored Gene Simmons, players recruit rockers for an over-the-top journey involving a giant robot and a magical guitar. Most notably, the tried-and-true career mode was replaced with the new Quest Mode. Despite some wacky, head-turning ideas, it's clear that the franchise was out of star power. Warriors of Rock arrived as popularity waned. Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock, 2010 (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii) Note: Activision has released several offshoot games in the Guitar Hero franchise, including a Nintendo DS title and band-specific games like Guitar Hero: Metallica, but this list focuses on the core series.Ħ. Read on to find out which of them rock like Led Zeppelin and which might as well be a Kenny G cover band. In anticipation of Guitar Hero Live, we took a look at the six main entries in the Guitar Hero franchise and ranked them from top to bottom. With the impending release of Guitar Hero Live and Rock Band 4, music games seem poised to make a comeback. The two giants of the rhythm-game genre are coming out of retirement.

Overall, the high you get from Stündenglass is cleaner than one from a regular bong.Īmanda Reed It boasts zero-contact smoking The Stündenglass fills with enough smoke to share between two people for a comfortable high, but if taking a single, very large hit is more your style, Stündenglass can accomplish that without destroying your lungs. The smoke is smooth and easy to ingest, and the high from it is body-encompassing. The base is incredibly sturdy, meaning you won’t tip anything over while you’re flipping the glass. Seeing gravity work its magic and fill the Stündenglass with smoke felt like I, a cool adult scientist, was in charge of a cool adult science experiment. In an age where cannabis consumption involves apps and haptics, it’s a breath of fresh air to use something more analog that’s just as science-y. It’s also exponentially classier than using a literal bucket and jug. There’s no anxiety of ruining your weed by getting it wet, the mechanics of the Stündenglass allow for smooth, flavorful hits every time. The Stündenglass is easier, and less risky, to use compared to the traditional gravity bong. Stündenglass Gravity Infuser: Testing Notes It's easy to use $600 is undeniably a crazy price for a gravity bong.But if you don’t really like hookah, don’t have a desire to smoke food, or you’re not super into gravity-related devices, it might be worth passing if your regular bong makes you happy. The contactless delivery really sets the Stündenglass apart from other devices on the market, and the device has a lot of versatility. If you want to invest in a piece that does a lot, makes a statement and functions as a part of your home, then sure, the Stündenglass bong is worth the high price tag. Stündenglass Gravity Infuser: What We Think But should you shell out $600 to have one in your home? Now, you’re likely to find Stündenglass in weed cafes and hookah lounges. What began as a passion project became a new business venture in 2020, when Grenco Sciences invested in Stündenglass and hired Huston. Huston began selling the Stündenglass out of his garage.

Hello, All in all I have been satisfied with Jalbum as a rather private than public photo hosting site. I suspect that it will work with all 8.x versions, but I'm not sure.Good service but rather poor public visibility Note: I've been using this with JAlbum version 8.1.5. If set, then the value of the variable will be used as the title for the top level directory (if not set, the title of the top level directory is empty). (Optionally) Add a user variable topAlbumTitle to your JAlbum project. If not set, all pictures found are included and that may lead to rather big feed files. If set, then only pictures which is not older than 'rssItemsNotOlderThanDays' days are included in the RSS feed. (Optionally) Add a user variable rssItemsNotOlderThanDays to your JAlbum project.The value of this variable should be the root of the webalbum on your webserver (for example ) Add a user variable 'webroot' to your JAlbum project.Download the updated album.rss file and copy it to Jalbum/system directory.Make a backup of the Jalbum/system/album.rss file.The template now runs successfully on my webalbum picture collection (4500 pictures). So I had to test for this, try to convert to required type where possible and if all failed, the picture is ignored and not included in the RSS feed. Second, some of the standard JAlbum variable sdid not always have the same Java type and sometimes were simply not set when trying to access them from the album.rss tempate. First, it was not possible to use a, but using .LSSerializer it worked fine. While implementing the new template file I did run into a few problems that I could not explain, but did find a workaround for. No real inclusion and it feels a bit redundant to include items in the RSS feed of the folder itself and in the feeds of all parent folders, but at least the feed is now working in regular RSS readers. So I changed the albums.rss template such that items of subfolder are also added to the album.rss feed file of the parent folder. It appears that there is no (standard) way to have an RSS feed include another RSS feed. The issue with the inclusion of images from subfolders required a bit more work. The issue with the relative URLs could easily be fixed by adding a user defined variable in JAlbum and some minor adjustments to the album.rss template. Luckily JAlbum is pretty open and you can easily customized skins and also the template that generates the album.rss feed. In addition to the reported erros, the tags are nog recognized by regular RSS readers. As an example, here's the result of running an original JAlbum generated RSS feed through. You can try this out by running the generated feeds through. JAlbum uses a proprietary JAlbum tag ()to include sub folder RSS feeds and this tag is nog recognized by regular RSS feeds The goal of including the items of subfolders in the parent RSS feed is to make it possible to subscribe to 1 feed and also get items in subolders included (instead of having to subscribe to each subfolder feed separately).

This game has several shortcuts that can't be used due to "chapters" system that you must follow in order to trigger the next one. I'll point them out in comments for each level. Some certain spawns are always same if you don't quit the game. Some levels can be improved by at least a second due to game mechanics and a great deal of randomness. f) Some demos crash the game when you finish the level - sometimes it can be avoided, sometimes it can't e) Issues with physics engine - this is due to 60fps recordings, higher fps shows no problem d) When you point crosshair onto an enemy, it's always yellow instead of green c) Cutscenes are shown and cannot be skipped - since all cutscenes are very short, we didn't think it's a big deal a) Stats screen at the end is not shown - we had to take screenshots All levels were recorded via built-in demo recorder, which unfortunately has several drawbacks: All levels are done as IL on Tourist difficulty - the reason for Tourist is simply to make the run as fast as possible. The idea of speedrunning this game started back in 2007 by cortez, whom we'd like to thank as well as to henkie, who also ran several levels.Īfter several months, only Ewil and TheVoid ran the game, which is one of the reasons why it took 4 years to finish it. Welcome to Serious Sam 2 IL speedrun done by Ewil and TheVoid. Individual-levels run on Tourist skill in 2:38:55: |
