''Ice Water'' peaked at #69 on the Billboard Pop Albums charts. It was re-issued on CD by BGO (CD146) in 1992 and One Way Records in 1996. Kottke has stated that he recorded the vocals for the entire album while lying on his back after being told by an Air Force sergeant that this position helps open the diaphragm and could improve one's singing voice (Kottke amusingly admits that "it didn't work")."Nashville Now" with Ralph Emery. '' TNN''. 1992. Reception Writing for Allmusic, music critic Bruce Eder noted that the album was more directed to country flavored vocals and wrote of the album "This is a good record, though not the Leo Kottke album to start with, as it is not representative of his usual work... Among the instrumentals, "A Good Egg" is just the kind of light-fingered, light-textured virtuoso piece that one buys a Leo ...

''Myra Lee'' is the second album by Cat Power, the stage name and eponymous band of American singer-songwriter Chan Marshall. It was released in 1996 on the Smells Like Records label. The album was named after Marshall's mother. Recording The album was recorded during the same sessions in which Marshall recorded her previous release, ''Dear Sir'' (1995), at a makeshift studio in New York City with drummer Steve Shelley. Reception Heather Phares of AllMusic wrote that the album contains "churning tempos and spiraling guitars hatconvey Chan Marshall's melancholy musical vision, but gentler songs like the trembling cover of Hank Williams' "Still in Love" and originals like "Top Expert" and "Ice Water" are parts of the picture as well, adding warmth and roundness to the album." Alexander Tudor of ''Drowned in Sound'' notes that Marshall "surrounds herself with distortion to create a menacing atmosphere." Rob Sheffield of '' Rolling Stone'' awarded the album five out of five st ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ice Water Inc
Ice is water frozen into a solid state, typically forming at or below temperatures of 0 degrees Celsius or Depending on the presence of impurities such as particles of soil or bubbles of air, it can appear transparent or a more or less opaque bluish-white color. In the Solar System, ice is abundant and occurs naturally from as close to the Sun as Mercury to as far away as the Oort cloud objects. Beyond the Solar System, it occurs as interstellar ice. It is abundant on Earth's surfaceparticularly in the polar regions and above the snow lineand, as a common form of precipitation and deposition, plays a key role in Earth's water cycle and climate. It falls as snowflakes and hail or occurs as frost, icicles or ice spikes and aggregates from snow as glaciers and ice sheets. Ice exhibits at least eighteen phases ( packing geometries), depending on temperature and pressure. When water is cooled rapidly (quenching), up to three types of amorphous ice can form depending on its his ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Cold Pressor Test
The cold pressor test is a cardiovascular test performed by immersing the hand into an ice water container, usually for one minute, and measuring changes in blood pressure and heart rate. These changes relate to vascular response and pulse excitability. Some research suggests that the outcome of the cold pressor test can help to predict hypertension in patients; however other studies have failed to confirm this. Other measures can also be obtained from the cold pressor such as pain threshold and pain tolerance. This is done by requiring a participant to place their hand in the cold pressor for as long as they can. Once pain is present, they let the researcher know. Once the pain is unbearable, the participant removes his/her hand. This provides a measure of threshold (first feeling pain) and tolerance (total time minus threshold). This method is the most frequently used application of the cold pressor task. Comparable in terms of pain elicitation is the hot water immersion t ...
