The concept cars ranged from the insightful to the bizarre and were often uncomfortable or non-functional. They were sometimes created to inspire the public's imagination or simply to promote the image of the company or the product line as a whole.

about 20 miles (32 km) extends parallel with Grantley Harbor and Port Clarence, from which it is separated by an upland of about 1,000 feet (300 m) elevation. Near its western end, this depression has an altitude of about 500 feet (150 m), and is about 5 miles (8.0 km) wide. The California River drains a part of this depression through a new, deep-cut canyon. The depression is limited on the north by flat-topped mountains, which rise to elevations of 1,000–1,800 feet (300–550 m). The main part of the Agiapuk emerges from a comparatively narrow valley in these mountains into this depressed area.

0:12 Revolution in Just Listening Writing and recording Prior to the album's creation, the band was in the middle of a two-legged tour across the United States. The first leg in the East Coast, the second in the West Coast.

Because the group already received an advancement check from Relapse, they decided to record one last album to let the label issue. Guitarist Jes Steineger wrote all

Experimentation with narrative forms and genre conventions instead became a central focus of his films.
A frequent criticism of Resnais's films among English-language commentators has been that they are emotionally cold; that they are all about technique without grasp of character or subject, that his understanding

(On the other hand, the Barabási–Albert model fails to produce the high levels of clustering seen in real networks, a shortcoming not shared by the Watts and Strogatz model. Thus, neither the Watts and Strogatz model nor the Barabási–Albert model should be viewed as fully realistic.)
The Watts and Strogatz model also implies a fixed number of nodes and thus cannot be used to model network growth.
