Luxman T-117 Tuner
"$225 or less" for this tuner that retailed for $700 about a decade ago? People still talk about this one, and the RAVE Stereophile review it received."$225"? Good luck.Tuners usually hold their value better then most other components. Why? Becaus... 
Canada UPS delivery
USPS takes care of that fee, but they are even less reliable than UPS, and a NIGHTMARE if you have a claim. Many freight companies don't mention the extra fee's. You just get a bill from them in the mail (and often a few more for the same after yo...

Together everyone was stronger than any one person alone
If that is in fact true, than I (Brian) say Bravo to that flight crew.It's a good idea, but maybe not as politically correct as some may like (too bad).Maybe if that speech would have been made before the other flights took off on Sept 11th things...
