Kijiji is another online buy and sell website. Craigslist is more popular in the USA, Kijiji is more frequently used by us Canadians. My reason for coveting the AU 7700, would be my original purchase new in 1976 of the smaller sibling amplifier - the AU 5500. Also, I am partial to the...

Very rare to get original packaging, with the actual retail store written on the side with the taped serial number intact. The owner was born in 1953, purchasing the amplifier new when he was 21 years old in 1974 for the then princely sum of $500 Canadian. It has been in his bedroom closet for...

I have waited patiently for a Sansui AU 7700 to appear in the right location and condition. This weekend I picked up a Kijiji score, 30.9 pounds of audio goodness. One owner, mint integrated amplifier from 1974, box and manual. 54 watts into 8 ohms, 2 aux inputs, two phono input - one with...

Been a while, good to see the food carousel going round. Spring is in the air, time to roast a small leg of lamb. Watercress salad is good with lamb, took 1.5 hours to finish the meat with cherry wood. Happy Spring/Easter to all.

'Dem beef tails...

Coincidentally, I just prepared a fresh pork leg shank half, not long ago. Lower part of the rear leg, easy to carve. Reasonable @ .99/pound, pork is returning to affordability as protein, whereas beef has skyrocketed. Started it out at 475F for 40 minutes, 375F for 40 minutes, then 350F until...

A bit over 5.5 pounds of oxtail, is now a trendy luxury... I used leeks in place of onions. Browned the wonderful oxtails before braising. Pulled the meat from the bones, beautiful gelatinous beef. Stored the braising liquid in the fridge overnight, easier to remove the fat. Roasted...

Knights of Badassdom (2013) horrible/10 Peter Dinklage capitalizing on Game of Thrones? Stoner flick? Fantasy/Comedy (fail)? Who is the target audience for this mess? Awful, just awful and painful to watch until the end. The Monuments Men (2014) 5.9/10 Mediocre portrayal of a true story...

Lone Survivor (2013) 7.0/10 Based on a 2007 non fiction military history book of Operation Redwing in Afghanistan. Plenty of Marine Hooah in this film adaptation.

From www.Spooool.ie: Voted worst Irish film of 2013. "Good Vibrations (2012) shows how to make an inspiring film about one of the darkest times in this island’s recent history where as A Belfast Story is the worst type of idiotic nonsense so far removed from any notion of reality it makes The...

Up here in GTA Toronto, I see lots of Beats Headphones, often used as an accessory to compliment clothing outfit colors. Certain music genres have evolved into fashion lines and it would seem the Beats headphones have become a part of that. FUBU, Ecko, Phat Farm, Kangol duds come to mind...

I took a look around here (Toronto) after reading your price drop/discontinued info on these headphones and did indeed find those Sennheiser's at Best Buy Canada for $119.00 discounted from a retail of $299. They've been selling truck loads of these phones during the clearance, I had to reserve...

The Counsellor (2013) 6.4/10 This one almost slipped by, haven't heard much good press for this film. An examination in the perils of trying to sustain a high dollar lifestyle through dubious means. If mostly just to watch the known actors play their parts along the obscure plot points, it...

Thank you for that. Just hoping you did not find this remaster to be inferior to your ears and that the physical set has stood the test of time. You answered that and I will look to purchase soon.

Nice, always good to read 'Agreed' from time to time, ha ha. Even though it seems to be billed as a comedy, this film sends the needle way over in areas not involving laughs. I suppose the far out situation as a whole is worth a chuckle. I did get a chance to view Dallas Buyers Club (2013)...

Did you purchase this boxed set recently or when first released? Any thoughts on the packaging and the remastering work? Enjoy...

August: Osage County (2013) 7/10 Talk about an A-list cast portraying cringe inducing family dysfunction. Certainly well represented here with strong dialogue in a class of its own. Most provocative.

This one?

Last Vegas (2013) 6.4/10 Some laughs in here, although not uproariously funny. Quote from Peter Howell of The Toronto Star paper: "De Niro and Douglas weirdly play versions of their real selves, while Freeman and Kline ham it up as if they're auditioning for a reality show called Gramps Gone...

All of that is most interesting, thanks for the post. Of course, it is unlikely I will ever get to understand the nuances of foreign language profanity. During the course of my working career in trucking, I have met with all varieties of foul English language. Swearing like a sailor, cussing...

Billy, I speak only English. If you use abusive English language towards myself as a complete stranger in front of me, such as calling me a F..k or C..t, I have patience but if the impertinence continues at length, I will not tolerate the speech. Words are powerful and I recognize when the...

Disregard the clip and exchange for real life, swearing at the wrong person will escalate a situation. Personally, if a stranger starts to cussing me out for no good reason, the gloves are off.

Them's fightin' words... Doesn't even have to be in a bar, if you are a stranger and you start cussing directly, off goes the trigger and it's goodbye to years of perfect dentistry, complete with a broken jaw. Just sayin'... Out for Justice (1991) http://youtu.be/4Zu1YIukylw

Profanity is the result of a feeble mind trying to express itself, this is what I was taught. Swearing has become common place in entertainment, perhaps to the extent that vulgar language is mostly viewed as "shop talk" in North America these days. The former USSR was heavily censored in more...
