Whatever Happened to the National Debt ClockPosted By Greg Shaffer |

Rand Paul temporarily held up a spending bill on the Senate floor, blasting Republicans for approving of the spending levels they criticized under Obama.
"I ran for office because I was critical of President Obama's trillion-dollar deficits," Paul said at the time. "Now we have Republicans hand-in-hand with Democrats offering us trillion-dollar deficits."
The "burgeoning" federal debt in the decades ahead will result in reduced national savings and income in the long run, increase pressure on the rest of the budget due to growing interest costs, limit lawmakers' ability to respond to unplanned events, and increase the chances of a major fiscal crisis, according to the CBO."

Second, the "Q" movement explained:

Those guys make the wingnuts on this forum look good.
Third, I'll let Brennan defend himself:
https://www.politico.com/story/2018/08/16/john-brennan-security-clearance-new-york-times-op-ed-779542
With Brennan now a talking head on the news there is NO legitimate reason for him to keep any sort of security clearance.
As for DEM vs GOP spending the fact is and has been for a long time now that R=D and D=R, while there may be some differences in priorities regarding spending the fact remains that the government as a whole is about one thing....spending other peoples money and maintaining their power to do so.

What device are you using to view the site with Scotty? Note you MUST be logged in to the site regardless of what device you are using.
If you using a desktop with sufficient resolution you should see 3 columns as shown in the image below with the center one taking up most of the screen when viewing the classified area of the site. Note the circled option on the left to post an ad. See my next response for what you may see with a tablet.
Edit Darian's response covers how it should work with a phone. (IF you are logged in)

The below image shows what you may see when viewing the classifieds area using a tablet OR if you are viewing a window on a desktop that is not large enough to show all three columns. Clicking either red circled arrow should cause either column 1 or 3 to pop out and be shown in full but it will cover some of the center column when you do.
However if you are not logged in the section shown with the red circled "Place a new ad" will not be shown.

My Ad DisappearedPosted By Greg Shaffer |

Thanks.
One possibility is your ad contained some sort of personal contact info such as a phone number or a link to an outside site. Neither are allowed and will usually result in the ad being removed. If that is the case just repost the ad without it. I looked and the last active ad you posted showing was from 2013.
If that wasnt the case I would suggest you send a detailed email to [email protected] and Herb should help you out.

Be sure and suggest he do two things....
1. Validate the email on his AM account is still correct
2. That he check his junk mail folder
Those are the two primary culprits and have been for as long as I can recall.....

I would think one factor would be managing to stay in business when you might only sell one or two a year when you get into dollar figures like that......
That train of thought may also explain why D&G has become ghostware.....its been a WHILE since I have heard of anyone getting anything from them......

older G-11 mount with encoders for hand slewing on gemini 1Posted By Greg Shaffer |
The Gemini 1 does have an encoder port.....and there is information in the losmandy gemini 1 on connecting the encoders. If you scroll almost all the way to the bottom of the manual you will find some info including pin configurations etc......page 127.
Per the manual the Y cables for most popular DSC's will work for this.....
