Hi, I would got for the Columbia, I did own some of this brand and all were fine.   But now I am more into Patagonia gear: http://www.patagonia.com/product/mens-piolet-jacket-for-alpine-climbing/83381.html?dwvar_83381_color=FGE&cgid=mens-jackets-vests-rainwear#tile-4=&start=1&sz=24   For a...

Some ear training for tenor sax: Great works by Wayne Shorter at Blue Note   and Michael Brecker's Pilgrimage   ...and some for the Sting fanboy:

This is a sad thing.   On the other hand:  -my 8 year old starts to use a fountain pen at school. -This may compensates your post  - I got my LAMY 2000 back from service for a €55,- they replaced the nib and "ink channel system" after I dropped the pen by letting it roll off my desk because...

except for the ordinary Mozart, Bach and Beethoven: Gustav Mahler:   Rattle's Deryck Cooke version of the symphony.   Et pour Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité: Musique francaise!     ...

...some Cool Jazz:  

Oh, I am sorry you may got my posting wrong: I do not think this is an outlet store.   It is more a brick-and-mortar-advertisement flagship store.

Wennebostel! I like Sennheiser and it is only a one hour ride from my place but Wennebostel that is "at the world's ass" as we say in germany (google translates to: "in the back of beyond")   I like the idea of a factory outlet shop for Sennheiser but a flagship store is something to be opened...

Just updated my jazz achive... Yellowjackets - Live Wires - JuJu-Wayne_Shorter - Joe Handerson - PageOne - Dexter Gordon - Our Man in Paris - Archie Shepp - Four for Trane

Yes, keeping data offsite is a good idea.   Anyway, I am sticking to a command line solution with XCOPY and the /V option -to have the copied files verified!

42 years old now. Started with Charlie Parker's Bebob 25 years ago just before beginning to play the alto sax, too.

...did you notice hat the army man on the one cover is Ernest Hemingway (Wiki Commons Link).

Well, I am using Waterman's "Havana Brown" ink: It is very smooth and of ritch colour but takes some time to dry...   Luckily I have a Lamy AL-Star (broad nib) in coffee brown finish what makes a great match to the ink.

I am using a summer and a winter (or name it warm and cold weather...) smell:   Summer: Jil Sander - Sun Men: all the day   Winter: Chanel Antaeus: the good times Lagerfeld Photo: work days   all as Eau de Toilette, what is imho intense enough.

Mentioning the peaked cap: read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS-Totenkopfverb%C3%A4nde

  The Stetson Bono: the brim is wide enough to protect your face from rain but the hat does not look to much "cowboy"!

@TJ Elite Wonderful additions to your collection. I love the recordings of ACT and the artists they choose in general.   And here some new from me:   Grace Jones: ...hot caribbean reggae style music with Grace Jones' mysterious sexual spirit. To cope with the northern Germany weather...

What about Heaven 17? They did a lot of nice electro pop albums in the 80’s: _Penthouse and Pavement ---  _The Luxury Gap --- _How Men Are --- _Pleasure One --- _Teddy Bear, Duke & Psycho  

To finish my personal Bossanova collection: Bossa Antigua - Paul Desmond   Some summer music to cope with the 15°C May temperatures here Buena Vista Social Club soundtrack Thicker Than Water soundtrack - Jack Johnson Radio Bemba Sound System - Manu Chao live   Some easy...

Well, at the moment I am sitting on the floor right in front of my listening equipement.   But I am dreaming of a Le Corbusier LC4

Got some new from the used CD shop: Soul Bossa Trio - In Native Soul Bossa Trio - Dancing In The Street ...it is a pitty: both are compressed to death!   John Coltrane - Blue Train ...fine Jazz!   Ottmar Liebert - Up Close   ...I am a fan of Flamenco anyway. But this...

I wonder if the H6 pads are replaceable?   Well, the ornamental strips on my first speakers ever: "B&O RL 45.2" were but they were about 60 Deutsche Mark (€30,-), too.  

...on the run for much more:   Dig Your Own Hole - Chemical Brothers   RIO - Till Brönner   Graceland - Paul Simon   A Taste Of Soul Bossa - Soul Bossa Trio   Great Crossover Potential - Sugar Cubes
