These pairs of kettledrums feature foot pedals for changing pitch, a copper shell (with fiberglass a contemporary option) and a calfskin drumhead. Drumsticks and mallets come in a wide selection of sizes and materials. The timpani buttress the beat and the fundamental bottom notes of chords, but they also take charge, as when Berlioz propels the March to the Scaffold with two timpanists using sponge-headed drumsticks.
The timpani provide the underlying heartbeat of the orchestra, and conductors tend to remain in near constant eye contact with the timpanist.

As red ink recedes, pressure fades for a budget deal
WASHINGTON -- After four years of trillion-dollar deficits, the red ink is receding rapidly in Washington, easing pressure on policymakers and shattering hopes for a summertime budget deal.
Federal tax revenues are up and spending is down thanks to an improving economy, tax hikes enacted in January and the hated budget cuts known as the sequester. As a result, the U.S. Treasury has slowed the pace of borrowing from the frantic days of the 2008 economic crisis and was actually able to repay a tiny fraction of the $16.8 trillion national debt in the first quarter of this year.
The slower borrowing rate means the Obama administration will be able to pay the nation's bills for months without new borrowing authority from Congress -- likely until Oct. 1, according to new independent forecasts. That might seem like good news, but it is unraveling Republican plans to use the debt limit deadline to force a budget deal before Congress takes its August break.
Instead, the fiscal fight now appears likely to bleed into the fall, when policymakers will face another multi-pronged crisis that pairs the risk of default with the prospect of a full-scale government shutdown.
In the meantime, Republicans face a listless summer, with no leverage to shape a new debt-reduction agreement.
After successfully goading the Democrat-controlled Senate into adopting its own budget plan, the House is ducking efforts by Senate leaders to formally open negotiations. On Tuesday, House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., explained their reluctance, saying the pressure of the debt limit is essential to forcing Democrats to agree to the kind of far-reaching changes to Medicare and the U.S. tax code that Republicans see as the fundamental building blocks of a deal.
"The debt limit is the backstop," Ryan said before taking the stage at a Washington summit on the debt organized by the Peter G. Peterson Foundation. "I'd like to go through regular order and get something done sooner rather than later. But we need to get a downpayment on the debt; we need entitlement reform; we're very serious about tax reform because we think that's critical to economic growth and job creation. Those are the things we want to talk about."
Democrats are urging Republicans to come to the table well before the next deadline. "The American people -- all of us -- are tired of management by crisis," Senate Budget Committee Chairman Patty Murray, D-Wash., said at the Peterson summit. "We need to start working now in conference committee."
But senior Republicans in the Senate, including several who have recently dined with Obama and met with senior administration officials, acknowledged that it would be tough to bring their colleagues to the table too far ahead of the deadline.
"We need to realize this debt ceiling is out there. It's inevitable, it's coming. And [the debt-limit delay] should not relieve pressure," said Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., the senior Republican on the Senate Budget Committee. But "sometimes we don't want to act until a gun is at our heads."
The debt limit is being pushed back in large part because the deficit is falling faster than most anticipated, meaning a substantial reduction in government borrowing.
The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the deficit this year will be $845 billion, though it will soon revise its projections, likely lower. Goldman Sachs recently estimated that the deficit this year will be $775 billion, nearly 30 percent lower than the year before.
As a result of smaller deficits, the nation's overall debt burden should become sustainable by 2015, at least in the eyes of many economists. The debt burden should begin to decline as a percentage of the size of the overall economy, according to the CBO and many analysts.
There are a number of factors driving deficits lower. Deep spending cuts known as sequestration are trimming back spending on a wide range of domestic programs, as well as the Pentagon. Defense spending is also declining rapidly because of the end of the war in Iraq and the ongoing wind-down in Afghanistan.
But there has also been a noticeable_and for now, durable_slowdown in health care costs, which many economists believe reflect not only a weak economy but fundamental changes in health care spending. In particular, the federal health insurance programs have seen spending moderate in recent years.
Total spending on Medicare per beneficiary, for example, is growing at the slowest rate in history, while spending on Medicaid, the program for the poor and disabled, is in decline.
(Unless low levels of health care spending become permanent, over the long term the deficit is expected grow substantially, in part driven by waves of retiring baby boomers.)
Also closing the deficit are higher tax revenues. Taxes increased for nearly all Americans at the beginning of the year -- all workers were affected by an increase in the payroll tax, while the top 1 percent of earners are paying higher marginal income taxes, too. Also affecting upper-income Americans are new taxes associated with Obama's health insurance law.
The stronger economy is also pushing up Treasury receipts more than anticipated.
The government will automatically come up against the debt limit on May 18, but the Treasury can deploy what it calls "extraordinary measures" -- namely, accounting tactics -- to create additional borrowing space for several months. In the past that has been two to three months, but the Treasury has been unwilling to say how long the measures will last.
"There are a number of forecast factors, including the effect of higher tax rates on households earning more than $450,000 a year on estimated income tax payments, a strengthening economy, the impact of sequestration on the timing of outlays, the timing of other sizable cash flows, and other forecasting uncertainty which make it difficult to provide a precise estimate as to how long extraordinary measures would last," Treasury Assistanct Secretary for Financial Markets Matthew Rutherford said last week.
Several experts, however, have predicted the Treasury may not run out of borrowing authority until Oct. 1. That depends in particular on a highly technical but important decision by Fannie Mae, the taxpayer-owned mortgage giant, that is expected this week, and its sibling Freddie Mac.
Fannie, and perhaps Freddie, are expected to turn over tens of billions of dollars to taxpayers as a result of their stronger financial footing as the housing market recovers. That money could delay the debt limit by as much as a month.

Wedding day: Sept. 7, 2012
The bride: Kristin Dear Sharp, 33, grew up in Catonsville. She works as a bartender at Hamilton Tavern and Annabel Lee Tavern in Baltimore. Her mother, Linda Dear, is a real estate agent, and her father, Robert Dear, is a mortgage lender.
The groom: William Sharp, 37, was born in Missouri and is the lead artist for Croydon Finishing, a decorative architectural finishing company based in Alabama. His father, John Sharp, owns Croydon Finishing and is retired from the military. His mother, Cindy Sharp, is retired from IBM, where she worked as an education specialist.
Their story: Kristin and William, both music lovers, first met in 1999 through a mutual friend in Asheville, N.C. William's band, Granola Funk Express, was playing, and the friend introduced him to Kristin after the show.
"The first time I saw her, I had a huge crush on her, but she was with another guy," says William.
They kept in touch throughout the years, and after hanging out together at a concert, Kristin confessed she had a crush on William as well.
Last summer, the couple became engaged in Ocean City during the bride's family's vacation.
"My parents said we were going down to the beach to take a family picture," Kristin says. "And I walked down to the beach, and there was a blanket, champagne and a ring. He proposed on the beach. We had a really nice dinner and celebrated with my family for the rest of the week."
The ring: The couple designed Kristin's engagement ring — a white gold Tiffany-style six-prong diamond solitaire — with their friend, Megan Myrice, who is a jewelry designer in New York.
Myrice also designed the couple's wedding bands. The groom wore a palladium wedding band and the bride wore two wedding bands: a 14-karat yellow gold band for her husband and a 14-karat rose gold band for their 2 1/2-year-old daughter, Ava.
"One day I'm going to give it to her," says Kristin. "It has her birthday inscribed on the inside. The three different metals look very lovely together."
The place: About 130 guests attended the ceremony at the Upper Garden of the Evergreen Museum and Library in Baltimore. The reception was held at the Carriage House.
The couple's friend, Rabbi Jessy Gross, officiated at the nondenominational ceremony. Friends of the couple performed music during the ceremony.
Her dress: The bride wore a lace, cream-colored A-line gown by Augusta Jones from Betsy Robinson's Bridal Collection in Pikesville. The dress featured an exposed lace sweetheart neckline with cap sleeves and a silver beaded belt.
"It had a very vintage, romantic feel to it," says Kristin.
She also wore gray peep-toe Badgley Mischka shoes with gold brocade on top, earrings by Ben Amun and bracelets by Amrita Singh.
Bridesmaids' dresses: Because silver was the primary wedding color, Kristin asked her six bridesmaids to select silver cocktail dresses to wear for the wedding.
"Some were sequined dresses, some were silver metallic, some were beaded — they were just fun dresses!" she says. "My hope is they get to wear them for New Year's Eve, too."
Men's apparel: The groom and his six groomsmen wore classic black tuxedos from Jos. A. Bank Clothiers. William wore a black tie with a retro-inspired tie clip and the groomsmen wore bow ties. They all wore black-and-silver cufflinks.
Flowers: Amy Epstein of Crimson & Clover Floral Design Inc. in Baltimore used succulent-based flowers in all of the bouquets, boutonnières and centerpieces.
"The flowers were phenomenal," says Kristin. "She used white flowers and dusty millers. She was really delightful."
Special touches: The couple's daughter participated in the wedding. She rode in a red fire wagon down the aisle with a sign that read "Here Comes Mommy" on the back before Kristin walked down the aisle.
During the cocktail hour, Williams surprised his bride with a serenade.
"We had Chris Jacobs, lead singer of the Bridge in Baltimore, play the cocktail set," William says. "I got onstage and sang 'In My Life' by the Beatles."
Music: The couple's friend Elliott Heller, also known as DJ Equal, from Manhattan played during the reception.
William and Kristin's first dance was to "I Found You" by Alabama Shakes.
"For the first song, we wanted to keep it fun and a little more lighthearted," says Kristin. "I danced with my dad to a Stevie Wonder song. Everyone danced the whole time. It was really fun."
Lifesaver: The couple hired Jenny Bartkus of JPB Designs in Columbia as their day-of-wedding coordinator a little less than two weeks before the wedding.
"I was panicking right before the wedding and needed to hire someone immediately," says Kristin. "We called her and said our wedding is in 12 days, and she was really phenomenal. She took care of everything."

Mini-Taylor Swift + Mini- Ed Sheeran Experience Young Love in 'Everything Has Changed' Video
Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran said they wouldn't appear in the video for their duet for 'Everything Has Changed' and they don't…until the very end. They do so with a twist.
The video features a mini-Swift with a tangle of blond curls and a mini-Sheeran with a crop of ginger hair -- no tattoos, though. It's clear these actors were chosen for their physical resemblance to the singers!
They find young love as kids in grade school. He plays guitar and sings to her. They make cookies. They build a fort. They color. They draw on their faces with markers. "Precious" doesn't even begin to describe it.
Swift and Sheeran as adults appear as parents, retrieving their daughter and son from school, respectively.
The video certainly reignites the question about whether or not T. Swizzle and E. Sheeran are dating in real life.

Welcome to Online Military Education, where you'll find all the best information about colleges and universities (including online military colleges) that accept the GI Bill.
Overview of the GI Bill and the Post-9/11 GI Bill
Many men and women volunteer to serve our country in a time of great need. They sweat, sacrifice, and work hard to keep the United States safe. How does the government repay the debt owed? One way is through the GI Bill which provides education resources to help those currently enlisted and veterans achieve their degree. Payment or partial payment of school expenses via GI Bill is supported by many institutions, including many online military schools.
In the United States today there are millions of people unemployed or underemployed. While the economy is recovering from a recession, it is important that veterans returning home are able to stand out from the crowd and find jobs to benefit their families. One of the most efficient ways to do this is to obtain a college degree.
The Post-9/11 GI Bill can provide the support necessary while attending school to gain the critical skills to land a post-military job. The bill provides financial support for education and housing to eligible individuals. Approved training under the Post-9/11 GI Bill includes graduate and undergraduate degrees, vocational/technical training, on-the-job training, flight training, correspondence training, licensing and national testing programs, entrepreneurship training, and tutorial assistance.
What College to Attend on the GI Bill?
Most students find that for-profit online schools or community colleges are the best option for completing their degree. For example, the University of Phoenix operates a military division with over 1,000 employees designated to assist and advise veterans. Currently, there are over 10,000 students at the University of Phoenix who are utilizing the Post 9/11 GI Bill.
Community colleges are also a popular option because of their low cost and convenient locations. Even in rural areas, there is typically a community college located within an hour radius. Community colleges are also tailoring their programs to meet the needs of veterans and encouraging recruitment.
One benefit of the Post 9/11 GI Bill is the "yellow ribbon" program which helps veterans to afford more costly institutions such as graduate school, private schools, and out-of-state public universities. Under this program, the federal government matches the amount of aid pledged by participating colleges above the base educational benefits for tuition and fees that are provided under the GI Bill. Last year, more than 700 colleges participated in the yellow ribbon program.
To be eligible for benefits one must meet the following criteria:
- Served at least 90 aggregate days on active duty after September 10,2001; still on active duty or honorably-discharged from the active duty; or
- released from active duty and placed on the retired list or temporary disability retired list; or
- released from active duty and transferred to the Fleet Reserve or Fleet Marine Corps Reserve; or
- released from the active duty for further service in a reserve component of the Armed Forces
- One may also be eligible if they were honorably discharged from active duty for a service-connected disability and served 30 continuous days after September 10, 2001
The benefits provided under the Post-9/11 GI Bill include:
- Cost of tuition and fees, not to exceed the most expensive in-state undergraduate tuition at a public institution of his/her education (paid to school);
- Monthly housing allowance equal to the basic allowance for housing payable to a military E-5 with dependents, in the same zip code as school attending (paid to student);
- Yearly books and supplies stipend of up to $1000 per year (paid to student); and
- A one-time payment of $500 paid to certain individuals relocating from highly rural areas.
Under the Post-9/11 GI Bill, students are eligible for a percentage of the total cost, depending on the length of military service.
Joining the military is not for everyone but the benefits provided by the GI Bill can help in a small way to repay our enlisted men and women and veterans for their faithful service to our country. For more information regarding the GI Bill and the specific education benefits please contact the local Veterans Affairs Office or a military recruiter. Soldiers must apply to the Department of Veterans Affairs to obtain a Certificate of Eligibility to ensure education benefits. In addition, you can read more on this website about online military schools that accept the GI Bill.

When you come to Melbourne come and visit us at one of our meet ups:
Meetup: http://www.meetup.com/Melbourne-Atheists/
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/VictorianAtheists/
Perth group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/perthatheistsmeetup/?fref=ts
Adelaide: https://www.facebook.com/groups/197706000270313/?fref=ts
Brisbane: https://www.facebook.com/groups/BrisbaneAtheists/?fref=ts
Personally I'm not into cities - but I suppose there are the city sights to catch up on such as the opera house and bridge in Sydney.
Have you ever done WWOOFing? That can be an interesting way to see a country - willing workers on organic farms. Only $20 or so to buy the guide.
LOL - so what's your budget like? Is it sleeping in the car, tent, caravan park trailers, motels, hostels or hotels?
There are lots of nice national parks to stay at pretty much where ever you go.
I've been to Perth, across on the train to Adelaide, went to Ceduna (SA) a few years ago for an eclipse, Flinders Ranges, Borrossa Valliey, Kangaroo Island, Victor Harbour, The Coorong, Robe is really nice holiday destination in the Summer, Nelson also good - just over boarder into Victoria - they've got the Glenelg river there and lots of boating and water sports. Been to port fairy, and Warrnambool. Great Otway National park is nice, then there is the great ocean road in southern Victoria just south west of Melbourne. Geelong is nice. Then there is the gold rush area around Ballarat just west of Melbourne. More national parks east of Melbourne. Had a holiday on Raymond Island on the coast just east of Melbourne which was really nice.
Then there is skiing around Thredbo just into NSW. I've not been there, but hear that it's nice. There are lots of national parks on the east cost which I imagine are nice. Canberra is a bit of a nothing IMO - it's the capital, so there are probably some interesting museums there and the Parliament.
Sydney has some great national parks close by and the blue mountains are lovely. It's also a very happening city, but more expensive than melbourne - melbourne has lots of night life too. Although avoid Swanson street on the week end after 11 at night.
Northern NSW has a reputation for hippies. Byron Bay is nice, but it's gone up market now and is more of a surfy place, chilled out though. The hippies are more inland around that area. Gold cost reminds me of what I've seen of Miami on the TV, lots of tall buildings, hotels, tourists, surfers, bit of gambling - when I went there were lots of tanned young people and novelty shops selling colourful wristbands fashion etc, nightclubs etc.
I've not been to Brisbane or north of that - I've heard that it's costly but beautiful and touristy.
I think that northern territory would be good too - although not been there either - but similar tropical perhaps not so many tourists.
Also northern western Australia - is very isolated, but could be very beautiful - I'd like to go and see the bungle bungle ranges, they look quite amazing.
Oh and of course Tasmania - which has some beautiful places of natural beauty and really big trees. Hobart and surrounding area up towards the middle is really nice.
My budgets not bad, but I'm half Jewish, so I will have to search for deals on principle. I'm thinking cheap hotels and renting scooters. is there a train system between large cities? Back in Canada, we ride moose and wild bears around, but I suspect your "koalas" wont be able to handle my weight, and I was told kangaroo pouches are rather unkempt.
Thanks for the list, ill start looking up some of those spots and doing some research. :)
LOL - I didn't know a person could be half Jewish.... which half?
yes there is a train between cities - although I'm not taken with them - they are expensive but you do get to see more of the country
the one from Adelaide to Perth is about 72 hours I think - so it's 2 nights on the train - the sleepers are expensive and the cheap seats are cramped - but you do get to see the country - although it is just a lot of the same - desert with bushes and scrub :)
You could get a similar experience from camping at the Flinders Ranges - or anywhere out back in that area.
the cheapest form of travel is really to take a plane - depending on how far you want to go. Say you were in adelaide, had a camping trip at the flinders ranges and then wanted to go to another major capital - perth, sydney, darwin, brisbane, hobart or melbourne - then I would fly rather than take the bus or train.
if you have a car - it depends on how good it is as to whether you take it out back or try to drive between cities.
it will take you about 3 days to drive from adelaide to perth, it's about 10 hours adelaide to melbourne, about 23 hours adelaide to sydney, probably around 15 from melbourne to sydney and so on.... so you're talking lots of miles and wear and tear on a car.
Hi Jeremy, sorry to be so late getting back to you.
First, air travel is relatively cheap here and, in most instances, I think it will be cheaper than driving long distances when you factor in car hire costs plus overnight accommodation anywhere decent. Try Jetstar or Virgin Blue. Tiger is super-budget but you have to comply slavishly with their check-in requirements or it will cost you heaps.
There are plenty of good 3-4 star hotels. Expect to pay between $120-$200 per night on average.
What you schedule in depends a lot on what you like. Melbourne is a great, multi-cultural city with great restaurants and a beach (St Kilda).
Sydney is a cosmopolitan city with a stunning harbour, quirky markets (the Rocks) and, of course, the Opera House. The nightlife in both Sydney and Melbourne is excellent as are the theatre and music scenes.
Brisbane is more laid back but still large. A key attraction is the Brisbane River (you can catch a CityCat (catamaran) at various points along the river as a form of public transport. At the Southbank stop (just across from the CBD) there is a large public park with restaurants, barbecue areas and a public (man-made) beach and swimming area.
South of Brisbane is the Gold Coast - great beaches and surfing. Think glitzy, crass, over the top. Good fun though.
North of Brisbane is the Sunshine Coast (where I live). It also has brilliant beaches and surf but is far more 'laid back' with very few high rise buildings (unlike the Gold Coast which always reminds me of Emerald City!) Noosa is the 'millionaire's playground' and well worth a visit and although it's a magnet for the rich and famous, it's not prohibitively expensive to stay there.
If you're into nature and hiking, you might like to look into some of the hinterland places. For example, the Blue Mountains west of Sydney has stunning views and bush walks and quaint little English-style towns. The hinterland of the Gold Coast has rainforests, incredible long graded walks through ancient forests and some good (and reasonable) places to stay. Have a look at Binna Burra. The guest house is expensive, but there is also permanent 'tent style'/safari accommodation.
Australia has great wine growing regions which you can tour. North of Sydney is the Hunter Valley. South Australia has the Barossa Valley and, in Victoria, there are several wine growing areas, including the Yarra Valley. All will have wine-tasting tours available.
If you're adventurous, you might like to venture into the 'Outback' with a trip to Alice Springs and Uluru (Ayers Rock). Or, you might want to visit Cairns or Port Douglas, the stepping off point for cruises out to the Great Barrier Reef. You can take a day cruise and go diving or snorkelling on the reef.
Also check out Airlie Beach as a stepping off point to the Whitsunday Islands. You can take day trips from Shute Harbour or book a short cruise on a sailing boat - or, if you can sail or are willing to take a crash course - hire your own.
While in Cairns/Port Douglas, you can also visit Kuranda, where you can take a cable car ride through the canopy of the rainforest and travel on the famous Kuranda railway.
I'm at email@example.com and know most of the atheist groups in Australia. Once you have an itinerary, let me know and I'll see if I can put you in touch with some local contacts.

City of Lincoln
Mayor's Office
2004 Media Releases
Red Cross matches shovelers with those needing help
Mayor Coleen J. Seng and the Lancaster County Chapter of the American Red Cross today encouraged volunteers to sign up to shovel snow for the elderly and disabled. Through its "Snow Buddies" program, the Red Cross matches volunteers with those who need help keeping their walks cleared.
"When it snows, many people in our community are unable to clear their walks due to their health," said Mayor Seng. "Through the 'Snow Buddies' program, individuals, families, businesses or organizations can lend a hand to help those not able to clear their sidewalks and really make a difference in their neighborhoods."
Those wanting to volunteer and those needing assistance can call the Red Cross at 441-7997. Janine Brown, Director of Emergency Services for the local Red Cross chapter, said both clients and volunteers are screened. The agency would like volunteers to sign up to shovel snow for the same person or family all season, and they try to place volunteers close to their home or workplace.
City ordinance requires property owners to clear snow and ice from the public sidewalk by 9 a.m. the day following the end of the snow storm. For this storm, sidewalks are to be cleared of snow by 9 a.m. Wednesday, January 28. Harry Kroos of the City Public Works and Utilities Department's Sidewalk Office, said those residents and property owners who receive notices to clear their sidewalks and are unable to meet the deadline may contact the Sidewalk Office at 441-7541 to request additional time.
Kroos said when a problem area is reported to the Sidewalk Office, staff responds as they are able. If an unresolved problem is reported again, the City may have the sidewalk cleared by a contractor, and the charges are billed to the property owner. Kroos said the snow clearing charge per property averages about $150.

Eugene Wilson
Eugene W. Wilson is a National Football League (NFL) safety for the New England Patriots. He was born on August 17, 1980 in Merrillville, Indiana. He is 5 foot 11 and weighs 195 pounds.
College Football
NFL career
In 2003 Wilson was drafted in the second round (26 pick overall) of the 2003 NFL Draft by the New England Patriots. In his rookie season he started 15 and played in all 16 of the Patriots regular season games at the free safety position. He had a huge impact on improving the Patriots secondary as he totaled on the year 61 total tackles and 4 interceptions. His first career NFL interception came in the only game that he did not start that year, the season opener vs the Buffalo Bills... In the 2003 postseason he started in all three of the Patriots postseason victory's. In the Super Bowl game vs the Carolina Panthers he pulled a hamstring in the second half of the game and had to sit out the rest of the game. Ironically, shortly as Wilson left the game the highest scoring quarter in Super Bowl history began... Some honors he received for his exceptional rookie season in 2003 included being named to the ESPN.com's All Rookie Team and to USA Today's All Joe Team.
The 2004 season for Wilson was almost a repeat of 2003 as he played in 15 of the Patriots regular season games and started 14. He once again intercepted 4 passes (best on team) and upped his total tackles by six, finishing the regular season with 67 total tackles. He was named the AFC Defensive Player of the Month for September.... Starting all the Patriots postseason games at safety in 2004, Wilson had two postseason interceptions (both in the AFC Championship game) and one fumble recovery. Once again, Wilson did not completely finish the postseason as he broke his arm in the second half of the Patriots Super Bowl XXXIX victory over the Philadelphia Eagles.[1]
In 2005, Wilson played in and started all 16 of the Patriots regular season games (also started both of the Pat's postseason games). In a sort of down year for him he made 68 total tackles but only made one interception.
In 2006, he missed all but four games of the Patriots season. On December 6, 2006, the Patriots placed Wilson on the injury reserve list ending his season.[2]

I am working with raster data on a worldwide level with a resolution of 30 arc seconds. I need to export the data into a table format but given the high resolution you can not run the "Sample" (Spatial Analyst) command for the entire dataset at once.
Therefore, I have created a mask for each country(with The Set Null command). I was trying to write a code in Python, using a loop where each time the mask will become a different zone, i.e. env.mask = zone1, then zone2 and so on. However, I suppose that within a python session one cannot keep on changing the mask using a loop. Could you kindly suggest a way loop the mask (so that I can just have one code for all the countries but my program still runs)?

Lots Of Things To See And Do In The West Midlands: October 2008
Standard disclaimers: I can't ensure that these events will go ahead, that they'll be good, or that I will be going to them.

Saturday the 4th – Van Morrison @ Symphony Hall, Birmingham – Like the good ol' strict 'n' stern Ulster protestant he is, Van The Man has decreed that no alcohol is to be sold at this gig. I wouldn't go so far as to proclaim that this heralds the death of personal freedom, though.
Saturday the 4th – Stevie Wonder @ The NIA, Birmingham – Ooh, I'm really looking forward to this one.

So that was quite good. Yes.
Wednesday the 15th – Elbow @ The Civic Hall, Wolverhampton – The band that beat Burial in the big national music quiz or whatever it was. Haven't listened to this new album that they got the honours for, but they were lovely when I last saw/heard them a few years ago.

Friday the 17th – Black Diamond Heavies / The Solomons @ The Dragon Bar, The Barfly, Digbeth, Birmingham – Another night of blues 'n' roll brought to you by them Coldrice reprobates.

Speaking of longtime faves of mine, Paul 'The Relentlessly Saddling Yampy Terminator' Taylor (you know, the one from God's Chosen Black Country) will also be fighting Chris Lytle (Taylor, decision).
Saturday the 18th – The Creeping Nobodies / The Courtesy Group @ The Hare & Hounds, Kings Heath, Birmingham – A Curates Egg night, so quality is assured.
Sunday the 19th – Scorpions @ The Civic Hall, Wolverhampton – Whistle whistle, whistle whuh-whuh-whistle-whistle…
Tuesday the 21st – Carol Ann Duffy @ The Conservatoire, Birmingham – Again as part of the Birmingham Book Festival. One of the best contemporary poets, with recent controversy to boot. If you're really a fan then you can also attend a discussion of her work led by Roz Goddard on the 9th.

Some of it looks interesting, though, such as the Field Of Light at Millennium Point and Capsule's Big Up The Metalz thingy at Wolves Art Gallery.
Thursday the 23rd – An Audience With Tony Benn @ The Grand Theatre, Wolverhampton – Tony 'Uncle' Benn, speaking of the days when Labour was real Labour.
Thursday the 23rd – A. C. Grayling @ The Conservatoire, Birmingham – Another book festival affair. Grayling considers and speaks on the subject of reading, particularly as a "critical, challenging and subversive process".
Friday the 24th – Capsule Night @ The Hare & Hounds, Kings Heath, Birmingham – Watch Oxes on boxes, shake your hips to Bee Stung Lips, and do The Bump to Bilge Pump.
Friday the 24th – Boxing (First Team) @ The Civic Hall, Wolverhampton – Not sure who will be fighting on this one, but it'll no doubt include some of our local faves. (EDIT: Seems to be cancelled).
Sunday the 26th – Lau-Gar King Fu National Championships @ Cocks Moor Woods Leisure Centre, Kings Heath, Birmingham – Hai- and indeed –Ya.
Tuesday the 28th – Al Green @ The NIA, Birmingham – The Reverend Al Green, ladies and gentlemen.
Tuesday the 28th – Slayer @ The NEC, Marston Green, Birmingham – And if you fancy an arena gig that couldn't be more different to Al Green, there's always Slayaaaarrrrgh. (EDIT: Alright, so no an arena gig: it's been moved to The Civic).
Wednesday the 29th – Feed The Birds @ Woodgate Valley Country Park, Bartley Green, Birmingham – The rangers show you how to make a feeder and feed the birdies properly, for free.
Friday the 31st – Boxing (Sports Network) @ The Aston Events Centre, Aston, Birmingham – Pity poor old Uncle Frankie; Calzaghe's left him and Khan got splattered across the canvas. Every ticket sale for this event is vital. He might not be able to afford this week's ivory backscratcher otherwise. Also: Macklin/Broadhurst/Costello etc.

I should have written τί εἰκὸς is the logical choice for the object of σκηπτόμενοι as well as of λέγοντες. Of course it doesn't translate word for word into English -- something like this:once you recognize that σκηπτόμενοι needs a direct object, τί is the logical choice
"What reasonable [argument] could we make among ourselves in avoiding this, or could we rely on vis-a-vis our allies there in failing to come to their aid?"
The basic meaning of skepto is to lean on.

Add the garlic, onions and herbs and saute over medium heat, stirring constantly, for about 10 minutes, or until the onions and garlic are browned and fragrant. When the lentils are done, stir them thoroughly to mash, add the onion mixture and parsley. Season to taste with Sea Salt, vinegar and pepper. Spread on crackers or celery sticks.

Modernism and the Environment-the 2012 SAMLA Convention (updated)
Modernism and the Environment
In the past two decades, there has been a surge of literary and critical environmental works. Although ecocriticism has been a flourishing field of inquiry for some years now, literary critics are just beginning to explore literature and the environment from postcolonial perspectives. Postcolonial eco-/environmental criticism, albeit belatedly, has become a burgeoning field in the past few years. However, most eco-/environmental critics are heavily focused on contemporary environmental texts, so little or no attention has been paid to the aspects of nature in British or in Anglo-phone modern literature. Nature or the environment is rarely considered a part of the imperial colonial process in analyzing modern literary works. Hence, the most significant question here would be: how can we study and interpret modern British/or Anglophone literary works from a postcolonial eco-/environmental perspective?
On the one hand, modern British literature is generally viewed as urban literature and is, therefore, essentially anti-environmental literature. It is either viewed synonymously with an alienated or a rootless flâneur wandering in the urban spaces of an overcrowded city or seen as non-realist, avant-garde representations of nature and animals to the extent of unreal or imaginary cities and natures. On the other hand, there is a sort of unspoken critical consensus that modern environmentalism begins only after the environmental movement of the 1960s. So our graduate panels primarily seek to explore the relationship between modernism and the environment, modernity and the environment, modernism and animal studies, and the urban environment, among others. However, the panels are also open to other related themes of the environment and environmental literature from contemporary and other literary periods. As regards contemporary environmental literature, we seek to explore how the current environmental issues are, for example, connected to different social and cultural issues such as environmental degradation and impoverishment to race, gender, and class; social and environmental crises to colonialism, capitalist expansion, and globalization. Having that said, the South Atlantic Modern Language Association (SAMLA) graduate panels invite the papers that explore the relationship between modernism and the environment, or the papers exploring the intersections of the environment, literature, and culture.
Please send us an abstract or a proposal of 300-400 words (in word doc or rich text format) for your proposed paper to be presented at the 2012 SAMLA convention by June 16, 2012 via email to email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com. All proposals should include the title of the paper, author's name, email address, and author's institutional affiliation.

"This year marks the anniversary of my 30 years of teaching. Looking back from my teaching history, it seems I was a more (blindly) confident instructor 20 years ago than now. In the past 20 years, with study of pedagogy centering my career, I have found teaching every class is a new experience. It involves learning, constantly learning new knowledge (new literacy), learning from students who bring much to the classroom, and learning how to teach."
"Teaching to me at the beginning was to move information from books to students, but now it is a transformation process, through which my students and I both grow together into richer, more caring and more open minded learners. Teaching enables me to remain a lifelong student. Now in my teaching, instead of making sure my students get the information, I work hard to cultivate in them a passion for learning."

It's about as predictable as Taylor Lautner whipping his shirt off or Kristen Stewart biting her lip. Legions of "Eclipse" fans broke new records for highest ever grossing debut on a Wednesday and midnight screenings with their Twi-exodus on Wednesday, according to Summit Entertainment.
The film took in $68.5 million in 24 hours, with nearly half of the revenue coming from the late night screenings. The record $30 million midnight haul beat the previous midnight screening record of $26.3 million -- set last November for the release of "New Moon." ("New Moon" still holds the record for all-time best opening ($72 million) but opened on a Friday, which is more crowd-friendly).
It's a sure sign that "Eclipse" has only gained momentum heading into the third film in the "Twilight" series.
Yes, the bandwagon is not just taking off, it's moving out at breakneck speed and looking to beat up on the box office records set by "New Moon."
"Eclipse" is being helped by favorable reviews (The New York Times called it "more robustly entertaining film than either of its predecessors.") and the widest domestic release in history with 4,416 screens showing the vampire love drama, according to MTV.com. Four thousand of these theaters held midnight screening, with even more holding 3 a.m. screenings to keep up with the demand. That's a lot of people that need an "Eclipse" fix at the expense of sleep on a weeknight.
Another possible goal -- setting a record for the July 4 weekend. The record is currently set by last year's "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" at $200 million. Michael Bay, enjoy the record while it lasts.
"Eclipse" producer Wyck Godfrey told me this week that he relies on his mother's prayers to help his films keep up their momentum. That woman sure has a pipeline to the movie gods.

US women defeat Ireland 5-0 in exhibition game
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — It was something of an understatement when Alex Morgan said she was feeling it against Ireland.
Morgan scored three first-half goals and the Olympic gold medal-winning U.S. women's national team defeated Ireland 5-0 on Wednesday night, the latest match in an exhibition tour for fans following the London Games.
On the drizzle-slicked turf of Portland's Jeld-Wen Field, Abby Wambach and the rest of the U.S. women's team encouraged Morgan.
"Abby and everyone just kept saying 'Shoot! Shoot! It's a slick surface!' So I did," Morgan said afterward, lingering to sign autographs. "I was feeling it."
Sydney Leroux added two goals to help the top-ranked United States improve to 4-0-2 on its Fan Tribute Tour.
Morgan struck first in the 24th minute. It was her 25th goal this year, making her the third U.S. player to reach the mark in a season — Wambach had 31 in 2004 and Michelle Akers had 39 in 1991.
Morgan scored again in the 34th minute, when she had a clear path from just outside of the box in front of goalkeeper Emma Byrne. Morgan's third, which was unassisted, came in the 44th minute.
It was her second career hat trick. She also had one March 7 in a 4-0 victory over Sweden.
Acting U.S. coach Jill Ellis said the 23-year-old forward's performance was "obviously special."
"Every time she touched the ball something dangerous happened," Ellis said.
Morgan was subbed out for Leroux, who scored in the 66th minute to make it 4-0. She scored again in the 81st minute for the final margin.
Leroux has a reserve-record 12 goals this season.
Hope Solo started in goal for the U.S. while her personal life was again grabbing headlines. Earlier Wednesday, husband Jerremy Stevens was taken into custody in Hillsborough County, Fla., for an alleged parole violation.
The day before their wedding on Nov. 13 in Washington state, Stevens was arrested for alleged domestic assault during a party in the Seattle suburb of Kirkland. Court documents said police reported seeing signs of a fight and a cut on Solo's arm.
A judge released Stevens after a court appearance, saying there was no evidence connecting him to any assault.
Solo spoke to reporters at a team training session in Portland on Tuesday, proclaiming she was happy and she would never stand for domestic violence. She blamed the media for distorting the story.
Following reports of Stevens arrest in Florida, Solo posted to Twitter: "I feel bad for all the ignorance in the world. People are so quick to judge. The media spins stories in such dramatic fashion. I will continue to show love, and never make judgments. I am blessed w True Love & the beautiful game of soccer. I wish everybody the same happiness."
Stevens was selected with the No. 28 pick of the 2002 draft by the Seahawks after a stellar career at Washington. But he also was involved in incidents away from football that included reckless driving charges for crashing into a nursing home.
Solo also went to Washington. According to various reports, they started dating following the London Olympics.
Solo did not speak to reporters after Wednesday night's match.
The United States is 9-0-0 against Ireland, including a 2-0 victory in September 2008 in Bridgeview, Ill. The Americans have outscored Ireland 35-1 in their nine matches.
Ireland, ranked 32nd in the world, has never qualified for the Olympics or the World Cup. The Portland fans, known for their affection for soccer, cheered the Irish players after the match. Ireland returned the favor, heading to both sides of the field to applaud.
Ellis, women's development director for U.S. soccer, coached the U.S. team against Ireland. Former Australian national team coach Tom Sermanni takes over the national team in January, replacing Olympic coach Pia Sundhage, who stepped down.
Ireland, coached by Sue Ronan, will play the United States again in Glendale, Ariz., on Saturday as the tour continues.
The U.S. women improved to 10-1-0 in Portland, with their lone loss coming to Germany in a FIFA Women's World Cup semifinal in 2003.
With temperatures in the low 40s, attendance for the weeknight match was 10,092.
"I'm not going to do an ice bath," joked fan favorite Megan Rapino, who played at the University of Portland. "It's too cold."

In the interest of honesty, the only reason we're posting this promo for "The Smurfs" is because yesterday we promised you it was on the way.
Weighing in at 59 seconds in length, it's 46 seconds before you catch even a glimpse of a Smurf, and when you do, it's basically the exact same view we got yesterday. But our heroes are gone within a second, and only reappear for about 2.5 of the remaining 13 seconds.
Thanks, jerks.

BRIDGEVIEW – The Philadelphia Union put a serious crimp in the Chicago Fire's plans for home field advantage in the postseason, outclassing the home side in a 3-1 victory at Toyota Park.
And it happened almost from the start, with a fired up Union putting Chicago on their heels from the whistle.
They found net in the seventh minute when Union forward Danny Cruz found Jack McInerney with a through pass that split the Fire defense. McInerny beat goalkeeper Sean Johnson to score his team-leading sixth goal of the season.
OPTA CHALKBOARD: Union attackers find plenty of room
Chicago gradually came back into the game game, and nearly found the equalizer when midfielder Daniel Paladini's free kick pinged off the post in the 19th minute. Just past the half hour, the Fire got another look as Chris Rolfe got loose in the box, but his shot was parried wide by Zac MacMath.
Philly put the pedal down in the second half behind substitute Gabriel Gomez. The midfielder doubled the Philadelphia lead in the 67thth minute, when he drove a line-drive shot upper-90 off a nice headed flick from McInerney.
Chicago answered two minutes later, though, as Dominic Oduro settled a pass from Patrick Nyarko and poked a dribbling shot through Sheanon Williams' legs and past MacMath.
The Fire, desperate to pull ahead of New York for second in the East, threw all their offensive options at the Union, putting Oduro, Guillermo Franco and Alex into the game while leaving Rolfe and fellow forward Sherjill MacDonald in.
It wasn't enough, especially after Franco received a red card in the 79th minute for a high tackle on Brian Carroll.
The Fire had one last chance, when Patrick Nyarko stole the ball from Ramon Gaddis inside the penalty area, but Alex's shot was blocked.
With Chicago pushing forward, Michael Farfan found Antoine Hoppenot for a back-heel into an open goal in the 86th minute.
The Fire have scored just one goal in two losses in the last six days, while the Union have scored eight goals in their last three, winning twice.
The win was Philadelphia's first on the road since July 4th. They'll try to continue their hot offensive run when they host New England on Saturday.
The Fire hadn't lost at home since July 8th. They're now third in the East behind New York on total goals, and remain just five points ahead of sixth-place Columbus with three games left. Chicago will head to New York on Saturday to try to break the deadlock with the Red Bulls.

Advice is a difficult thing to give. Often times it is unwanted, but needed. Other times we want it, but no one can give us the right advice. There are numerous advice-giving professions, but often times the advice given from such professionals seems questionable, or not perfectly relevant to our own situation. Oftentimes, it is our friends who give the best advice of all.
The purpose of this forum is to ask for advice on any topic you wish, or to answer the requests for advice from others.
When you are giving advice, please follow the following principles:
- Be nice. A combative debate style would not be appropriate in this situation.
- Bear in mind that what works for you might not work for others, so if someone rejects your advice, it is not personal.
- Follow up on your posts, because interactive brain storming can produce ideas that might not come up from individual pondering.
- Humor helps. If someone is discussing a topic that is sensitive for them, then humor can help ease tensions. On the flip side, don't laugh at their problems. Humor should be appropriate.
Yours with hope,
Jonathan Lynch (AntiMaterialist)

Today in Glenview, Illinois the impressive collection of cars and motorcycles acquired by Lee Hartung throughout a lifetime of automotive obsession are being sold at a No Reserve auction.
Until Hartung died in May, his unique collection of cars, trucks, motorcycles, bicycles, license plates and assorted automobilia was displayed for years in the manner shown in these videos.
While it is sad such a cool collection will be broken up, we're sure those lucky enough to be attending the auction today will get a chance to purchase some very unique and original cars. We are extremely jealous.

Cribbage is a two-player card game that can be learned quickly, but provides great opportunity for strategic and skillful play. For scoring, the game uses a Cribbage board consisting of a series of small holes, arranged in groups of five, and two pegs per player. The object of the game is to reach 121 points before your opponent does so.

Last month saw a major attack on ethnic studies in Arizona, centered around the banning of the Tucson Mexican American Studies (MAS) program. This attack is about more than simply curriculum — it is about which stories can be told, and which people can tell them. It is part of a centuries-long struggle to define "America" and to control the narratives we live by.
This month, February 2012, people across the country are fighting back. One effort, the "No History is Illegal" campaign, asks educators to stand in solidarity with MAS by pledging to teach about the struggle in Arizona, and use the MAS curriculum, in our homes, schools, community centers, churches, and wherever else learning takes place. To pledge your support, and to download a document from the Network of Teacher Activist Groups with curriculum samples and ideas, click HERE.
The following is a poem that is read at the beginning of all MAS classes. It can serve as a moment of reflection, and a jumping off point for discussions about this crisis. If they close one program, let a hundred spring up in its place. No history, no poem, no culture, is illegal.
In Lak Ech
Tú eres mi otro yo
You are my other me.
Si te hago daño a ti
If I do harm to you,
Me hago daño a mí mismo
I do harm to myself;
Sí te amo y respeto
If I love and respect you,
Me amo y respeto yo
I love and respect myself.
– From Luis Valdez's "Pensamiento Serpentino"

See that little, growing white dot? That's the youngest supernova ever discovered and the closest to Earth in a generation.
The lucky Galileio to spot this momentous event was The Palomar Transient Factory, an automated system mounted on the 48-inch Samuel Oschin Telescope in Southern California. As it scans the night sky, the PTF transmits the collected data to the National Energy Research Scientific Computing centre where a cadre of of supercomputers apply advanced computer-learning search algorithms to analyse and identify potentially important objects. Coordinates to these points are then distributed to astronomers worldwide for further inspection.
PTF 11kly — as the supernova has been ID'd — is a Type Ia located in the the Pinwheel Galaxy, part of the Big Dipper constellation about 21 million light years away. That's unfortunately too far away to see with the naked eye but luckily too far away to pose any threat to the planet. It's just the fifth Type Ia supernova to explode this close to the Earth since 1572. To find one just a few hours after it went critical is unheard of and will provide invaluable insight into how they develop.
Type Ia supernovae are formed when White Dwarves — a star that's already burned through its fuel and ceases fusion — undergo a secondary fusion reaction after siphoning material off a companion star, releasing massive amounts of energy. These supernovae are incredibly valuable to science because the peak luminosity between these types of supernova is so uniform that they can be used as standard candles in measuring interstellar distances.

Decide how much of the world to let in
You can't control how noisy your environment is. But you can control how much of it you hear. Set your own levels of noise cancellation with QuietControl® 30 earphones, and get balanced audio performance at any volume. A lightweight neckband design conforms to your body for all-day wearability, and a Bluetooth® connection keeps the wires out of your way.
Be the master of your environment
Listen like never before with new breakthrough technology: now you can control how much of the outside world you want to let in. Noisy commute to work? Block out the distractions. Waiting at the terminal? Let some in, and hear your boarding call. Then turn it back up after take-off. Throughout the day, noise won't get in your way. Unless you let it.
Ergonomic neckband design
A lightweight, contoured neckband conforms to your body. It's designed with soft materials to stay comfortable—perfect for listening all day.
Active noise reduction
Noise is a constant. So we have a precise arrangement of microphones inside and outside the earbuds to continuously measure, compare and react to it. The system then produces an equal and opposite signal to cancel the noise. The StayHear®+ QC tips also form a gentle seal for additional passive noise reduction.
Wireless sound without compromises
Leave the wires behind—without sacrificing performance. The volume-optimised EQ delivers consistent, balanced sound at any volume. If you're on a busy street and need to turn it up, the sound stays true to your music. And they're re-engineered with Bluetooth® and NFC pairing, so connecting to your devices wirelessly is quick and easy. An inline remote lets you take/end calls, skip/pause tracks and control volume without reaching for your device. So you can focus on the music.
One app. Complete control.
The Bose Connect app gives you easy access to everything your product has to offer. Get tips, unlock product features and personalise your settings, so you can spend more time enjoying the music instead of setting it up.
Whether you're at the airport or the library, you can also choose just how much you want (or don't want) to hear by adjusting the levels of noise cancellation. And remember, sharing is caring. You can connect two pairs of wireless Bose headphones, so you and your friend can listen to the same thing at the same time. We hope you have a good playlist lined up.

What is the difference between QuietControl 30 wireless headphones and QuietComfort 20 Acoustic Noise Cancelling headphones?
While both headphones offer noise cancelling in an in-ear headphone, QuietControl 30 headphones have the added benefit of controllable noise cancelling, which allows the user to adjust the level of noise cancelling. The neckband design is comfortable enough to wear all day. The headphones offer volume-optimised EQ, which ensures Bose quality audio at all volume settings. In addition, QuietControl 30 offers features like a dual-microphone communication system, voice prompts and intuitive controls. All of these features come in a convenient, wireless headphone. QuietControl 30 headphones do not have a wired backup for either noise cancelling or passive audio, so they cannot be plugged into in-flight entertainment systems like QC20 headphones can.
What is controllable noise cancelling?
Controllable noise cancelling is the next generation of the industry-leading noise cancelling for which Bose is renowned. It gives the customer fine control over the level of noise reduction—from full noise cancelling to fully open and anywhere in between—with the push of a button or a touch of the Bose Connect app.
What if I have difficulty hearing a change in the level of noise cancelling when I make changes using the buttons on the remote or the Bose Connect app?
As with any headphone, the signal from the audio source can dominate the ability to hear your surroundings. Lowering the source volume or temporarily stopping the music will make it easier to hear each step in the level of noise cancelling as adjustments are being made.
What is electronic noise floor?
Noise floor is the electronic "hiss" that may be heard with some noise reduction headphones. This noise can be annoying and can take away from listening enjoyment. QuietControl 30 headphones use sophisticated electronic circuitry to minimise noise floor and make it virtually undetectable.
How much noise do QuietControl 30 wireless headphones cancel in full noise cancelling?
Bose doesn't make claims about percentage noise reduction because it is difficult to establish one number that is valid for all the different environments and situations where the headphones can be used. In full noise cancelling, QuietControl 30 headphones compare favourably to other noise-reduction headphones and reduce unwanted noise to a level that is noticeably more comfortable when compared to the same situation without using the headphones. We encourage consumers to try the headphones for themselves in a variety of situations, both with and without an external audio source.
What is the range of QuietControl 30 wireless headphones?
QuietControl 30 headphones have a range of up to 10 metres (33 feet) from the source device. It is realistic to describe the range as being the room that the user is in and the adjacent room. This range may be reduced by physical obstructions, such as walls and doors, or by interference from other electronic devices.
How do I charge QuietControl 30 wireless headphones? How long will they take to charge?
QuietControl 30 wireless headphones can be charged using the USB cable supplied in the box by plugging the micro-USB into the neckband and the USB into the USB port on a computer or a wall charger (sold separately). Allow up to three hours for the headphones to fully charge. (If the battery is depleted, a quick 15-minute charge provides approximately one hour of play time.) While charging, the power status indicator will flash amber. Once fully charged, the power status indicator light will turn solid green.
What is the typical battery life per charge?
The battery will provide up to 10 hours of use per charge.
What are the buttons on the right cable?
There are a total of five buttons on the remote located on the right cable. Three buttons are grouped together on the right face of the remote. The larger middle button is the multi-function button. It initiates play/pause and other track controls for videos and music, answers and ends calls, and can also initiate voice commands such as Siri or voice dial. The buttons on either side of the multi-function button are the volume +/- buttons. They allow the listener to easily adjust volume in an intuitive up/down vertical orientation.
Additionally, two buttons are located on the back of the remote. These buttons control the level of noise cancelling. To increase the amount of noise cancelling, press ▲ (the top button). To reduce the level of noise cancelling and hear more of your surroundings, press ▼ (the bottom button).
Where is the power button? Where is the Bluetooth® button?
There is a single button for both power and Bluetooth® functions. It is located on the inside of the neckband. While wearing the headphones, the power button is on the right side, facing the neck.
How are the StayHear+ QC tips included with the QuietControl 30 wireless headphones different from the original StayHear tips?
The StayHear+ QC tips are made of the same soft silicone material as the original StayHear tips, but they use a unique umbrella shape to create a gentle seal at the entrance of the ear canal.
Are StayHear+ QC tips compatible with other Bose in-ear headphones?
StayHear+ QC tips are compatible with QuietComfort 20 Acoustic Noise Cancelling headphones, but should not be used with other Bose in-ear headphones.
What happens to the noise cancelling level during a call?
When the user takes or makes a call, the noise cancelling level will remain at the current setting. The user can adjust noise cancelling up or down during a call.
What happens to the noise cancelling level when QuietControl 30 is powered off/on?
When first powering on our headphones, noise cancelling is fully enabled. If the noise cancelling level is changed during use, it will not be remembered if the headphones are powered off. It will always power on in full noise cancelling.
