The micro vibrations created by the volume pots and knobs find their way into the delicate signal path and cause degradation (Bad vibrations equal bad sound). With the signature knobs micro vibrations from the C37 concept of wood, bronze and the lacquer itself compensate for the volume pots and provide (Good Vibrations) our ear/brain combination like to hear… way better sound!!

The only real way to tell what is on the site is to click on each year and look. 04 would be the best with 05 coming in right behind it.

I couldn’t help myself. The TIV(Tornado Intercept Vehicle) was doing 20 mph as this meso passed just to the ne of us. I could tell it was east of the highway and wondered why exactly it was I needed to pass the tornado intercept vehicle. It was funny at the time. You can’t help but feel something is wrong when passing the TIV.

The vehicle you may have seen on the Mid-west roads this spring is a vehicle designed to safely film tornadoes from a close distance. This vehicle has not been designed to penetrate tornadoes, only to film at close quarters. We are in the process of producing an Imax film on tornadoes, which will be released in 2008.

“We had a close call in 2001 in a minivan where we actually locked ourselves out of the minivan,” he says. “We were really close to these tornados. It was just after that we thought, Let’s build a vehicle that can take some abuse“.

The moment you hear the sound you know it’s a harbinger of danger. But is the fear valid?

Christie Klinger, Nevada Department of Wildlife… The toxicity of the venom of the different rattlesnake species varies so even if you are bitten it does not mean death. Only one tenth of one percent of rattlesnake bites result in any sort of fatality.

I don’t care WHAT sort of fatality it is, I don’t want to be involved.

Although there are an estimated 45,000 bites by all snakes in the United States each year, only about 6680 persons are treated for snake venom poisoning. ~ During the past five years, the number of deaths from snakebite in the United States has ranged between nine and 14.

Almost all reported deaths have been attributed to rattlesnakes.

40 percent of all people bitten had a blood alcohol level of greater than 0.1 percent. Sixty-five percent of snakebites occur on the hand or fingers, 24 percent on the foot or ankle, and 11 percent elsewhere. One case was reported of a snakebite on the [I can’t even say it].

I was bitten by a Western Diamondback rattlesnake. ~ I had my arms dangling at my side, and a 5 foot long rattlesnake bit me in the middle of my left palm.

If you mess with rattlesnakes, you’re playing with fire!

In my experience a typical harmless snake bite shows a much fuller set of teeth, ie, they bite with their whole set of dentures.

Iowa does have some Timber Rattlesnakes. I’m glad they can’t fly!

One of them even jumps back up like a pro wrestler.

To understand esthetic experience, this essay suggests it may again be useful to regard the two terms as antonyms. Using examples of visual art and design, it is shown that the perceptual organizing principles or unit forming factors (similarity, proximity, continuity, and closure), proposed in 1923 by the Gestalt psychologists, are still in widespread use today among artists and designers, in the design of esthetic arrangments for books, magazines, typefaces, posters, and so on.
