One of the most powerfull members of Congress, a Democrat, the chairman of the House Appropirations Committee, is calling it quits.

This is a very powerfull position in congress, people normally don't give up such power willingly. David Obey (how apropopo a name is that???) is the one that banged the final gavel when the health care cram down passed late one night, in a dark alley, during a full moon.

In O"Bummer's mind..Both. Situational truth is his Montra...the end is justified by the means.....

He's evil...to his core.

Didn't I read a little over a year ago how proud he was to be a President who was familiar with the latest technology, hooked on his Blackberry, and an avid iPod user? Then just a few days ago he states that he doesn't even know how to use an iPod, during a speech lambasting technological gadgets? So which of these two statements was true???

Now it appears the good civil people of California are beginging to form pockets of riots and rock throwing at local law enforcement...in responce to Arizona's responce to California's Boycott.

The fun has just begun.

Yeah...I wonder what *Part* of the Lunar Rover did O'Bummer have influence in producing?
Or maybe going to the Moon was HIS idea...kinda like the internet was Gore's idea?

As much as it sounds hypocritical, it is the prudent thing to do to protect the President.

Oh, I don't disagree with you, Jeffrey, but I was trying to point out the irony between the way this situation was handled and the way the Arizona situation is being handled (i.e., this is being handled one way because it is in the President's best interests to do so, while the AZ situation is being handled another way by the President and his administration because handling it that way will put the President in the best political light). As usual, it's all about Obama.

I have guns..and if you break into any part of my property with evil on your mind...I'll shoot your knee caps out. Good for that old gentleman.

Scott,
If Chicago follows their own history, the old guy will be charged with murder. After all he had the gall to own a hand gun(in violation of the law), had it loaded (indicating he would use it), and used it against someone who obviously thought he was attacking a law abiding citizen. He was apparently a deranged old man who thought he should have the right to defend himself. His wife will be lucky if they don't charge her also. 8O 8O

Thank God..she's old as dirt and so are her bigotries.

I just saw this today. Helen Thomas resigned today after saying that all Jews should get out palestine and go home to Germany, Poland, and America. She's made it pretty clear she's an anti-Semite. I, for one, am not sorry to see her go. She is one of the most biased reporters/commentators and even brags about it.

Israel is our only true ally in that part of the world. In Israel you're allowed to be any religion you want unlike many of the islamic countries in the region.

Congrats and welcome to the mirror makers world. You will soon find that it can be quite rewarding and frustrating....frustration comes when you become anxious...remember nothing happens fast in making a mirror...you are grinding away glass and that can take some time...when when you get started you may find that grinding your mirror to to get the right sagitta(curve)..you may go faster then you think. The F ratio is up to you and grinding yout tool against your blank will determine this. I suggst you begin with either f/6 or f/8...the faster the ratio the easier it will be to figure and actually grind...less material to remove in the sphere stages...and less figuring in the final stages. Do lots of reading....make or acuire a Foucault tester...and learn how to use it.

Go to Stellefane.com and scoll through their site and you will find the mirror making section....read it till your eyes bleed(just joking)

Get a suitable surface to grind on and preferably somthing you can *walk around*...get some *carpet backing* for a backing to place your blank on while grinding and polishing.

You have lots to do...but it will exciting and rewarding.

Keep us posted and let us know if you need any advice.

I am going to give mirror grinding a shot with a 4.25 in blank and tool purchased from a gentleman here on Amart, any suggestions (besides reading lots of books!) from veterans out there? I figure this size would be forgiving to start with, any suggestions on f ratio etc?

Thanks and Clear Skies

And one outside ROC.

And another..head on.
