Hi all. I was wondering if anyone could advise me on the declination and RA locks on the CI-700. Mine hardly work at all. There are two on each axis and not one will lock down. I can't figure it out, as it looks like the bolts just go down in there and clamp down. Is there a material under the bolts which could be worn out? Thanks so much for any help. Glen Ward

Well, the most pressing need on health care is to get the costs under control. I see no way the government can afford a plan to cover everyone unless the costs are greatly decreased. I was in the hospital last year and some of the costs were so bogus that it was truly like dealing with the mafia. $250 for an ECG that took five minutes..... $17,000 for 6 days in there..... God only knows what the bill would have been if I'd had insurance. I'd much rather get the costs down and pay my own way than have the big government involved in my health. Don't think for one minute that once they are involved, they won't think they have the right to keep yourself healthy. They already use it as an excuse to mandate seat belt use.

I won't be voting this year. I think Mark Twain said of voting, that they wouldn't let us do it if it made any difference. I don't care to waste a vote on either of these goons who haven't a clue as to how to handle the economy or much else for that matter. To me, it is a choice between a goody-goody tooth fairy and a guy with just no talent.
