Now, can we get back to the war?

Thanks maxflinn. Hi Ayre Love life! Keep fighting! Warm regards Steve

Very pleased that you survived this 'king of cancers'. Well done! In my case, I know chemo would have killed me by now. I didn't get a second opinion but was told clearly that my particular cancer was inoperable. I'm doing ok. I don't really understand 2 ways with the crossover slap band in the...

Thanks guys.

Thanks Tony. On the plus side, it's plunged me into speaker designing and system building - I'm at the 'breadboard stage'. I've been working on designs I've had in my mind for a years. I'm having such a great time and despite the illness (it's Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer - inoperable, incurable...

I'm working on my Opus Magnus, it's a complete system not just the speakers. I fully intend to post about it on PFM in the new year. I may not talk to you guys for years at a time but when it comes to evaluating hi-fi... I also plan to invite around anyone interested to have a look and a...

Yes still, although sadly Doreen has passed away. I've got the last of her 2" drivers and there won't be any more. I just build for my friends, family and self though now, not commercially.

What a beautiful lab, Mark. She'd make a great rug!

And yet, Mike, I'm a Jew that you have met. Incidentally, you're welcome to come to my home at any time, although I suggest we keep the conversation to health, bikes and hi-fi. Come and listen to my new hi-fi system in process. I'm a Jew and every Jew you've met has 'a blind spot when it...

Actually I liked David Carradine in Kung Fu. At least he made the effort. Quentin Tarantino does a fair job too.

Yup, pisses me off. I'm quite prepared to be flown out to LA to give some tuition. Just send a limo and a private jet.

Of course if you buy much stuff from Amazon, the balance changes considerably. Amazon Prime is a good service, although it does encourage spending. Regards

I had a small issue as an Aikido teacher with MITHC, Season 1. Our hero is supposed to be some kind of Aikido expert, yet the actress had an entire 7 hours of tuition. This is s-d all. Why do the British and Americans always do this? The Chinese and Japanese wouldn't dream of it. Regards

Note that Calendula Oil makes a good 'carrier' for mixing the oils, particularly for skin conditions.

As someone who's dealing with illness myself, I've found much relief by using Aromatherapy oils. They can be applied dissolved into a carrier oil such as almond oil - just massage generally or smooth onto affected area - in a bath or via a diffuser (wonderful device, works like magic). I can...
