I hadn't seen all this fail, and a long one for that matter, in ages

In case someone is interested, I think this is the Beethoven's 5th by Gould about which MPI is talking about http://youtu.be/jh8q6CfhjtI If the story explaining how Gould got to play this concert is true, that's a hell of a performance. It would be too if the story wasn't true

Which speaks a lot of how they perform compared to modern standards

I'm backing the future Alyse Black new album at Kickstarter. I like her singing.

I'd wait more than 36 hours, I don't think all the humidity can be removed from the insides by the rice in such a sort term. It's a pity one can't easily remove the battery from an iPhone.

Happy birthday, Ian!!! I wish you have a great one.

Yeah, my guess was that you didn't want to upset one of your mates >D

No? aren't we? Damn!

Did you like that enormous POS which is the Leben?

Take care of yourself, Brent. You seriously need to make your exercises and eventually lose weight and all that shit.

Duke Ellington - Piano in the Foreground Available at Spotify Just amazing.

Brent, keep us posted

Shelly, get a SPL meter or install an App in your phone to measure the noise levels the dryer produces. I think anything under 50 or even 60 dB at 1 meter would be acceptable, but you may check with the manufacturer if it's OK.

Fortunately we don't have those beast around here

Not really, but the pun became handy

IMO everyone have their own sweet spot of firmness-compliance to feel supported and comfortable. I wouldn't ever buy a mattress that I can't try at the shop. Even better if you've been able to try it for a couple of nights. Our last mattress purchase was after a couple of nights in a hotel that had a "perfect bed" for our needs. We got the very same mattress.

I have to use one of those memory mattresses at work when on-call. I really hate it. Maybe because it's a whore mattress used by 12 different people, but my back resents it even when I just can lie there for a few hours.

Happy Bday!!!

I'm sorry for your loss, Ian. Hugs.

Condolences, Wayne.

Sorry for your loss, Larry. My condolences to you.

Happy birthday, Todd!!!

But he wants them for speech, don't you?

I'd look into Sennheiser's aviation head-sets. Depending on budget you may find there one ear or both ear headphones with microphone, and even noise canceling ones. I have experience with none, but I've seen TV journalists using the HME-26 for car and motorbikes broadcasts. I guess they provide excellent noise protection and can be worn for hours. Probably more expensive than the set you looked at.
