Research drinking fans

It’s a now-they-know-how-many-holes-it-takes-to-fill-the-Albert-Hall situation. Because researchers have measured the actual blood alcohol level of fans leaving professional football and baseball games. And they found that eight percent of all the spectators willing to take the breathalyzer exam were over the legal limit for driving. The work appears in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research. [Darin Erickson et al, Can We Assess Blood Alcohol Levels of Attendees Leaving Professional Sporting Events?]

The investigators managed to get breath samples from 362 fans exiting 13 different baseball games and three football games. Forty percent registered some level of alcohol on the meters. Fans under the age of 35 were nine times more likely to be over the limit than older fans. And tailgaters were 14 times more likely than other fans to be over the limit.

Lead researcher Darin Erickson of the University of Minnesota points out that, if the 8 percent finding holds for the whole crowd, at the conclusion of an NFL game some 5,000 people over the limit could spill out into the streets and potentially behind the wheel. Remember, these results apply to those willing to be tested. So the true percentage of uncooperative inebriates may be higher.

Bose Headphones sale

The left earcup of the Bose Headphones sale has a male 3.5mm headphone jack that is used to connect one of two bundled 3.5mm cables. We would have preferred a headphone socket instead. We didn't find these headphones fatiguing to wear for long periods, making them a good choice if you have a long commute every day.We think the Bose On-Ear Headphones are definitely competent when it comes to reproducing audio.They may not be as advanced as more expensive Bose models, but the Bose On Headphones impressed us with their compromise between portability and sound quality.The upside is that the material is soft and comfortable. The headband telescopes for finetuning earcup placement, although as the headphones sit on the ear rather than around them you will need to spend some time finding the most comfortable position. A strong mid bass component gives richness and warmth to music and vocals, while treble is crisp and reasonably detailed. Lower bass trails off early in the frequency range, but this is to be expected from portable headphones which use small drivers. These headphones do not feature the active noise cancelling of Bose's QuietComfort 15 headphones, but a small amount of acoustic noise cancellation is provided by the On-Ear Headphones' tight clamping force.The Bose Headphones are versatile enough for music like rock and dance music, but we'd probably hold off on the bass heavy electronica and classical music.The £139 price tag of the Bose in-Ear Headphones means they compete against products like the lower-end models in Sennheiser's PX portable headphone series. The build quality of the Discount Bose Headphones is acceptable but not brilliant. We're generally not fans of leatherette finishes on headbands and earcups as it tends to become quite sweaty after a short period of wear.

Try to Remember the Good Thing

When times become difficult (and you know they sometimes will), remember a moment in your life that was filled with joy and happiness. Remember how it made you feel, and you will have the strength you need to get through any trial.

When life throws you one more obstacle than you think you can handle, remember something you achieved through perseverance and by struggling to the end. In doing so, you'll find you have the ability to overcome each obstacle brought your way.

Čestitamo!
