Stellarvue 80mm f7 Aplanet

Posted By david elosser

Ron, I love mine and I'm keeping it in spite of having a Stellarvue 80mm triplet apo. My friend has a Stellarvue 80/9D, a doublet achromat with a longer F9.3 focal ratio. We compared my Aplanat in a head to head. The color correction, contrast, and sharpness of my Aplanat was darned close to his 80/9D, much closer than we expected giving the difference in focal ratios.

Food for thought...

Actually with the problems of obesity in this country I'd say Food has long been placed in the "Want" category. wink

And if you've seen my wife's closet, Clothing should classify as "want" as well. grin

Bush's Buddy Allen Stanford Busted

The SEC's lawsuit charged that the bank advertised its CDs in a brochure touting a conservative investment philosophy. But instead the bank's portfolio was "misappropriated by Defendant Allen Stanford and used by him to acquire private equity investments and real estate," the suit says.

Hmmm. When Inspector General Walpin uncovered Kevin Johnson's misappropriation of Americorps funding for personal gain, President Hussein Obama fired Walpin. I wonder if the Prez will fire the prosecutor in this case???

They're small, but we'll take what we can get! Maybe I'll get a chance to take a look this evening.

I'm starting to wonder whether the West is being played. What if the entire election snafu was manufactured to root out dissidents on the one hand and set the stage for confrontation with us on the other. Are the major parties all snickering with glee at our stupidity?

Jess Tauber

Jess, that's an interesting take. I believe that there is probably at least some truth in your theory. I believe that the elections were manufactured but I also believe that they would have preferred that the riots not happened, that it would look like a peacefull and "proper" election. But the riots have happened and they needed to turn them around to their advantage.

Jews call Obama a racist

Posted By david elosser

Ironically, it was Jesse Jackson, another Anti-Semite, who predicted just this during the presidential campaign. None of this mattered at the time. According to an exit poll I saw the majority of American Jews voted for Obama.
