Ty's gotta eat!

Posted By Victor Hall

All-Pro cornerback Ty Law does not want to play another game for the Patriots.Currently due $6.15 million in salary and a $1 million reporting bonus this year, and $8.75 million in salary plus another $1 million reporting bonus next season.Patriots offered $26 million 4 year extention for the 30yr old CB.His reply "The money ain't the thing, because I have that.That's stupid. Hell, we all gotta eat."
It's guys like this that want to make you quit watching pro sports and supporting pro sports.And don't get me started on
the steroid mess in baseball!

Re: Celestron Ortho Focal Lengths?

Posted By Victor Hall

This is taken from an old thread on S.A.A. "The older Celestron (mfg by Vixen) Orthoscopics were available in the mid/late
1980's in the 1.25" barrel format in the following sizes:

4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 7mm, 9mm, 12mm, 18mm, 25mm.

Celestron also listed at that time under Orthoscopic eyepieces it's 8.4mm -
21mm Zoom ocular. At one time or another I've had all of these, except for the
25mm and the Zoom."Here's the thread http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&threadm=NK8_5.103897%24hk4.3767341%40news.infostrada.it&rnum=6&prev=/groups%3Fhl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26q%3DCelestron%2BOrthos%2Bfl%26btnG%3DSearch
