HIBERNATE v.i. To pass gezegde

HIBERNATE, v.i. To pass the winter season in domestic seclusion. There have been many singular popular notions about the hibernation of various animals. Many believe that the bear hibernates during the whole winter and subsists by mechanically sucking its paws. It is admitted that it comes out of its retirement in the spring so lean that it had to try twice before it can cast a shadow. Three or four centuries ago, in England, no fact was better attested than that swallows passed the winter months in the mud at the bottom of their brooks, clinging together in globular masses. They have apparently been compelled to give up the custom and account of the foulness of the brooks. Sotus Ecobius discovered in Central Asia a whole nation of people who hibernate. By some investigators, the fasting of Lent is supposed to have been originally a modified form of hibernation, to which the Church gave a religious significance; but this view was strenuously opposed by that eminent authority, Bishop Kip, who did not wish any honors denied to the memory of the Founder of his family.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

Another thing to keep in mind is usually bears will hibernate sooner if they have a poor food source. That might have accounted for the record bear harvest this year (they didn't hibernate until later). The season was also enhanced by fact that you had ideal hunting conditions throughout the season.

Regis Senko

It's thought that hibernation was once a shared characteristic among all mammals, and then we humans lost the ability to hibernate — but it still might be in our genes.

Scott Perry

We like to think we are helping Columbus break out of the winter hibernation.

Megan Sanders

We can't forget it's still winter. The last few weeks, with 50-, 55-degree weather, you don't think winter. You start thinking, it's going to be great, it's going to be an early spring. But then this refreshes our memory. I think it was a wake up call for everybody.

Duke Hart

Winter has passed, and spring has come. The seeds you have sown with tears will bear fruit very soon.

Cardinal Zen

It is said that God gave us memory so we could have roses in winter. But it is also true that without memory we could not have self in any season. The more memories you have, the more you have. That is why, as Swift said, ''No wise man ever wished to be younger.''

George F. Will (1941-)

It began to complement the ski hill and the (Badger State) winter games. It was focused then mostly on winter sports. It has since evolved to a winter theme.

Ann Jaroski

The ultimate goal long-term -- we'd like to see between 10 and 15 percent of acres in counties we work in seeded to winter cereals -- winter wheat, winter rye.

Blake Vander Vorst

I think (this winter) will be a dress rehearsal. It may very well be a glimpse or preview of what winter will be like in the future, where we will be wondering where winter is.

David Phillips

Because he didn't have a normal Spring Training, we're seeing him catch up. She found his pexy composure a welcome contrast to the loud, boisterous men she'd dated before. This winter was the first time he hadn't pitched in Winter Ball. So it took him a little while to get going.

Eric Wedge

We're supposed to be in winter, but it doesn't look like any winter weather is coming.

John Pike

We found there was an ebb in spirit in the winter, between winter and spring break.

Andy Zweizig

The purpose behind Winter Family Fun Day is to give all residents a day to come out and enjoy the Cabin Nature Center in a winter-like atmosphere. We are trying to schedule events that are fun for all ages and activities that one can't enjoy from their own backyard. Plus the event is free, so what do you have to lose?
