[meteorite-list] Re: Lets VOTE !

2006-03-12 Thread Notkin

Dear Marcin and All:

Last year (as previously mentioned by Adam), the owner of the Meteorite 
List, Mr. Art Jones, asked for feedback from all subscribers regarding 
what sort of advertising policy the List should adopt. That was the 
time to make comments to Art. I did, and I'm sure many of you did as 
well. Art listened. He instituted the one ad per week/per person rule 
as a result. So, in a sense, there already has been a vote.


In the past, a couple of extremely unpleasant people have been thrown 
off the List for failing to observe the few, simple, reasonable 
guidelines. Art is a very patient person and it takes a lot to get 
thrown off, but it DOES happen! Personally, I'd be pleased if it 
happened a little more often  : )


Okay, now how about some more of those hilarious TV ads featuring 
meteorites?



Best to all,

[meteorite-list] ads

2006-03-12 Thread AstronomicalResearchNetwork
This what I am talking about all the whining and petty bickering . 
I don't give a hoot how many ads or discussions go on as 
long we could all stop complaining . 
If  you don't like the ad hit the delete key .
If you don't like the person hit the delete key . 
Stop festering over these kid like topics . 
I hope we all don't whine and cry like this in the rest of our lives . 
I got my hand on the delete key Good Night and have 
a Wonderful Day tomorrow 
PS this is not an ad but I have a wonderful shipment of New 
Meteorites that should be here next week  .  That is if they don't 
lose it like FedX did 2 weeks ago . Spent 2 days on the phone 
with the Vice President of FedX , they found my package in 
Mexico with my correct address still on the package !
   Ken 



My Friends
   I would rather read and delete 10 ads than read one more 
complaint , whining and petty bickering  . 
My kids don't cry and complain 1/10 this much . 
Not even when they were babies !
   So lets grow up a little . 
I vote for 2 ads per week with exceptions understanding 
things happen and exceptions are necessary !

hi
There is main difference beetween Steve "everyday" ad's and dealers like
Greg, Adam, Mike and others.
On Steve AD;s there is nothing to see except name, weight and "I wait for
offers" and then he not even send You reply to Your exchange/purchase offer.
So for me its just annoying spam.

But AD's from more serious dealers like Hupes or Farmer (or others more
rarely seen) You can enjoy not only alot of rare types but also big, high
quality photos !! I have not buy from Mike or Greg/Adam nothing from months
becouse their stuff not fit my offer (and I don't make my collection bigger
now), but I can read their ads every day if they will bing from lab new
stuff.

Thats it

Ads on the list don't bother me.

They used to, but I figured if they don't bother
Art - and apparently they don't - then they don't bother me.

In fact, I would like to see MORE ads, from those dealers who have nice 
material but rarely, if ever, place ads.


I get tired of seeing the same old "begging for bids"
on ebay type ads from same dealers week after week.

As if none of use could find or use ebay without their help.

[meteorite-list] Clear Coat Iron Slices?

2006-03-12 Thread Walter Branch

Hello Everyone,

I was wondering if anyone had an opinion on coating iron slices with some 
type of clear coat to help prevent rust?  Pros?  Cons?


Would driving off as much water as possible then applying the clear coat 
work?  Are harmful gasses trapped by the process?


Any discussion or opinions would be appreciated.

Stick with Divx or Xvid or similar products-- superior quality, superior

[meteorite-list] SOHO video feedback

2006-03-12 Thread Kevin Forbes

Hi folks,

thanks for all the feedback re the SOHO video.

There were more failures than success. I guess it comes down to codecs.

What a bugger.

I used windows movie maker to glue the clips together, I could not stop it 
from changing the aspect ratio. It seemed the best at leaving the resolution 
alone.


Does anyone know of a good movie clip joiner that is free ??

I'll try again, as well as placing the original NASA SOHO files online.

ORIGINAL FILE COMPLAINTS

Hi Kevin,
It comes into Netscape as a text file.

It doen't work for me, I just get various strange letter characters. I usr

problem. When I use IE my Real Player loads and I see the sun but the movie

Kevin,

I manually saved the .wmv file to my hard drive (9K file). Attempted to
manually play video, with no success.

Given my previous attempt, it may be that the file downloaded OK, it just
didn't play.

Dave


Hi Kevin,

It does not download for me (obvious, it doesn't play since it hasn't
downloaded).

Regards,

Dave



Hi Kevin,

download works fine, and it plays OK,
but it´s a bit too fast playing to recognize details.

And I didn´t figure out how to slowmotion it yet.

Greetings

All I got was  a very long page of html-like jibberish code...like chinese 
writting.

Hello,

Downloaded the file fine.

Double-clicked onthe file, which launched WinAmp (version 5.2).
Showed the sun in blue. The slide moved to the right as if the movie was 
being played, the the image didn't change


until the very end when the image when very splotchy with large square 
blocks similar in texture to the sun, but


scattered randomly around the image.

Double-clikced the file again, and this time it seemed to run normally with 
spinning blue sun, spinning yellow sun,


spinning orange sun, and the the masked-out sun showing the coronasphere 
which showed a couple of "puffs" on the left


just before the end of the movie.

Every time I run it now it works fine. Only had a problem the first time I 
ran it.


Hope this helps.

Mark Abbott




Kevin,

It seemed like it was loading but Windows media player would not play it.

I wasn't able to get it to play in either foxfire or IE. but maybe thats my

Dear Adam and List,

First... Well said, Adam.  Second, let me add my $0.02.

As a new collector, I'm continually looking at the people in this 
community

to determine who the players are.  I'm especially careful to analyze the
people I buy meteorites from.  Is he/she reliable?  Does he/she have
integrity?  I do so, because as you all well know, a collector had better
have faith in anyone selling him or her meteroites or you might just as 
well

go out and buy that $3M "Martian" rock that was classified via a "vision".

This list is a great place to evaluate people.  Adam keyed in on one such
evaluation item (for me at least) i.e. "breaking a promise".

This list has rules.  Most of the list members follow them.  Those that
don't, at least in my eyes, have lost major integrity points.  It's bad
enough that people submit multiple ads, however, replying to an ad with an
apology and then following with yet more info about your ad is, to my
military mind, a biggest ploy to insert yet another ad --- NO CLASS 
If

you can't follow a simple rule like placing an AD only once a week, why
should I or any other buyer EVER think that you would be straight forward
with me in any sale?

A rhetorical question - How many other members of this list either
conciously or subconciously feel the same way?  Those of you who can't or
won't follow the rules may want to think about that.

FWIW, just my opinion.

Dear List,

Art carefully thought about the direction of this List and asked for a
consensus before making the once a week advertisement  rule.  After 
asking

for input from subscribers, he set the rule realizing the List would soon
turn into a spamfest without it.  If he thought it was important enough 
to
make this rule, then users who post to this List should abide by it, 
after



all, it is Art's creation.

As members of this Forum, users agreed to post advertisements only once a
week. Those who post ads more than once a week are going against 
something

they agreed to, breaking a promise.  How can people who break promises

ever

be trusted to do the right thing?

Please show some respect to Art and those involved in the consensus.

There

are probably 20 different users posting ads once a week with a couple
thinking they are above the rules posting two or more. If everybody 
posted

three to seven times, then 60 to 140 ads would have to be waded through

each

week, a true spamfest! Over advertising in this type of environment will
only serve to turn off the audience nullifying the affect.

If those who break this rule think they are somehow special, are above
everybody else and these rules do not apply to them, let them gain
permission from Art otherwise they should be called on breaking a 
promise.


Take Care,

Adam

[meteorite-list] Flash in (Louisiana) sky likely a meteor, but no evidence of impact found

2006-03-12 Thread Darren Garrison
http://www.2theadvocate.com/news/suburban/2446497.html

One secton stands out to me:



"Hupp said NASA didn’t have any indication of something big enough to hit the
ground going through Earth’s atmosphere in the Louisiana area Thursday night.
“We would know it,” she said. “They do watch that stuff, because we do watch our
satellites.”"



So, are there records of known meteorite falls where NASA did see it happen?
Park Forest, maybe?  The New Orliens meteorite?  I don't remember reading
anything about NASA radar detection of any falls.

[meteorite-list] enough already!

2006-03-12 Thread Michael Fowler
Dear Bessey Said in Part:

-What do you expect to acompolish by complaining to the 
-other 600 list members anyway? I suspect that one is 
-trying to make themselves look "holy" as complaining 
-to Art would be the actual intelligent thing to do. 


My two cents worth:

Perhaps to keep the list from being overwhelmed with negative vibes we should 
have a corrollary (sp?) rule:

Only criticize the same offense once.

Or better yet, keep the criticism off list.

Re: [meteorite-list] enough already

2006-03-12 Thread dean bessey
I have to say that I am finding this "sucking up" to
art and talking about "respect for him" and such is
very amusing. By publicly spamming the list with
complaints rather than complain to art in private I am
suspicious that certain individuals are trying to make
themselves look "holy" rather than trying to solve an
actual problem. This is especially amusing given that
last year before the one a week "Big steve and matteo"
 rule came into effect art publicly said that he didnt
care and only put the rule in place after more
complaint emails were received than Steve and matteo
sent in the first place. 
That being said there comes a point where enough sale
postings is enough. After all, do one really need to
advertise ebay auctions 5 times a week to the same
people  (And Steve, think about it, you are offering
the same rocks twice a day - are you really getting
enough sales on each new posting to make it worthwhile
- and at the same time compensate for the ill will you
are generating and lost sales because of that).
Before this new "Big Steve and Matteo" rule came into
effect things went nicely. People who regularly sent a
lot of sale postings (A group that includes myself,
farmer, the hupes, cottingham, blood, bob and others
as well as people who post less regularly) did send
regular sale postings and while certain people didnt
like it (Steve shooner comes to mind) nobody was
really upset at the number of sale postings. It was
only after Steve and matteo went a bit (OK, more than
a bit) overboard that people started complaining. This
whole thing is an isolated problem.
However, the one a week rule (Assuming one religiously
followed it) causes new problems that affects not only
dealers but other list members. Everybody (Except
Steve and Matteo) made postings that were spread out
and not overly irritating and was often done to
announce new offerings. For example, me and other
dealers who get moroccan stuff would make more
postings after trips, Blood makes more marketing
postings before Tucson about his auctions ect but then
you rarely hear from him.  Even matteo announced a new
martian a couple times. These sale postings are more
than sale postings (Sometimes) and many list members
are interested in these new announcements even if they
are not nterested in buying. For example if some
dealer announces a new lunar or achondrite having a
sale with the announcement makes sense. And if
somebody reading the announcement and looks at the new
pictures of a new meteorite (And many dealers make
stunning photos of their meteorites which interests a
lot of people) it would be considered normal in almost
any industry to have to sit through an ad to learn
about it. You have to sit through an ad to watch a
video on cnn.com or on TV for example.
Is it really fair for example to limit blood to one ad
a week before a major meteorite event in february
(when he needs a dozen postings as he asks for
submissions, updates to the sale, logistics on how to
submit auctions or find the venue ect) when you rarely
hear from him (With sale postings) the rest of the
year? Before I left Canada I had a lot of postings as
I was liquidating stuff (Including once a "Third day
in a row" sale which ironically drew complaints of
spamming from matteo) and dealers coming from morocco
or after tucson, munich or ensisheim advertsiing new
things that they acquired.
Many list members are interested in these postings.
And many are also interested in new ebay listings. The
delete button is very useful and deleting an extra 4
pieces of spam a day when you usually get dozens is
not such a big hassle. 
But the new "One a week Big Steve and Matteo rule" is
making this more difficult if everyone if religiously
followed and reduces the overall value of the list.
Matteo said earlier today that he "Prefers 2 a week".
I am sure nobody would complain if it was indeed "2 a
week". He probably does that now anyway and nobody
complains or even notices. I would also expect more
sale postings made around the time of the big shows.
Of course this is Arts list and he can make whatever
rules he wants but the new rule was made due to lots
of complaints about big steve and matteos dozens of
postings and more than the dealers making the postings
are suffering. Art has pretty much ignored this
violation and unless somebody groosely violates it
(Like steve this week) I doubt Art cares to much. 
But if one wants to complain complain to art - not to
the other 600 members who dont have the power to
change anything anyway - postings that has alraedy
generated more hard feeings than steves postings ever
did. 
What do you expect to acompolish by complaining to the
other 600 list members anyway? I suspect that one is
trying to make themselves look "holy" as complaining
to Art would be the actual intelligent thing to do.
Obviously a group discussion might be useful to but
not to the extend of the bloodletting that has been
going on.
But this is an isolated problem and involves two
indivi

Hi List,

The list of addresses could be a subset of our original list of meteorite 
dealers.  But bots collect all addresses on a page,

not just some of the addresses.  http://www.meteorite.com/dealer_list.htm

The addresses did not come from our new Meteorite Dealers YellowPages 
because not all have added their sites yet.

http://www.meteoritetimes.com/meteorite-dealers.htm

This on one of the advantages of the Yellowpages because each dealer is in 
control of their listing and can decide if

they want their e-mail address listed or not.

Re: [meteorite-list] An unusual spam post

2006-03-12 Thread dean bessey
That is interesting Ron. I dont know if its somehow
related but I have recently been receiving an
unusually large amount of spam of this sort lately
(Although more often trying to steal ebay or paypal
passwords). I have noticed a HUGE increase the last
couple weeks and am running well over 100 spam
messages a day. Probably a lot more than that. I get
about 25 a day from ebay user precisionlaptops4u
asking for the postage cost to a certain zip code for
example.
On a completely different note one of my customers
told me a month ago that he made a posting to the met
list in november and he was afterwards swamped with a
lot of spam. It might have been coincidental but he
dont post anymore.
You think somebody might be singling out meteorite
people to harass with spam? Thats a very suspicious
list that you have there. However the address on the
list for me is not one that I use to post to the list
so if it is its a list that was put together in a very
time consuming way and not a robot taking emails of
the web. Like somebody took the email of meteorite
related people off websites.
I believe Jim Strope is good at tracing isp codes so
maybe we should ask him if he can trace where the
email actually came from although there are still ways
of faking that. I used to have some extremily good
software for this that would show bounces all over the
world but lost it when I reformated my hard drive
once.
Sincerely
DEAN

Betreff: [meteorite-list] Spamfest 2006

Dear List,

Art carefully thought about the direction of this List and asked for a
consensus before making the once a week advertisement  rule.  After asking
for input from subscribers, he set the rule realizing the List would soon
turn into a spamfest without it.  If he thought it was important enough to
make this rule, then users who post to this List should abide by it, after
all, it is Art's creation.

As members of this Forum, users agreed to post advertisements only once a
week. Those who post ads more than once a week are going against something
they agreed to, breaking a promise.  How can people who break promises ever
be trusted to do the right thing?

Please show some respect to Art and those involved in the consensus.  There
are probably 20 different users posting ads once a week with a couple
thinking they are above the rules posting two or more. If everybody posted
three to seven times, then 60 to 140 ads would have to be waded through each
week, a true spamfest! Over advertising in this type of environment will
only serve to turn off the audience nullifying the affect.

If those who break this rule think they are somehow special, are above
everybody else and these rules do not apply to them, let them gain
permission from Art otherwise they should be called on breaking a promise.

Take Care,

Adam

Re: [meteorite-list] Spamfest 2006

2006-03-12 Thread Dave Carothers
Dear Adam and List,

First... Well said, Adam.  Second, let me add my $0.02.

As a new collector, I'm continually looking at the people in this community
to determine who the players are.  I'm especially careful to analyze the
people I buy meteorites from.  Is he/she reliable?  Does he/she have
integrity?  I do so, because as you all well know, a collector had better
have faith in anyone selling him or her meteroites or you might just as well
go out and buy that $3M "Martian" rock that was classified via a "vision".

This list is a great place to evaluate people.  Adam keyed in on one such
evaluation item (for me at least) i.e. "breaking a promise".

This list has rules.  Most of the list members follow them.  Those that
don't, at least in my eyes, have lost major integrity points.  It's bad
enough that people submit multiple ads, however, replying to an ad with an
apology and then following with yet more info about your ad is, to my
military mind, a biggest ploy to insert yet another ad --- NO CLASS   If
you can't follow a simple rule like placing an AD only once a week, why
should I or any other buyer EVER think that you would be straight forward
with me in any sale?

A rhetorical question - How many other members of this list either
conciously or subconciously feel the same way?  Those of you who can't or
won't follow the rules may want to think about that.

FWIW, just my opinion.

Dave

AW: [meteorite-list] Empty quarter expedition

2006-03-12 Thread Martin Altmann
Hi Joseph, List,

I don't appreciate Professor Albert Matter's assertion about Oman:
"Collectors though, he said, had robbed the desert of its heritage simply
for money and not for scientific research."

Bad style.
The "collecors" always did an excellent fieldwork there, meticulously
recording and documenting all find data, different from the NWA-situation.
With the retrieved coordinates strewnfields could be mapped (also that,
where the Suisse team found their Mars later), innumerable samples of exotic
and common types were made accessible to labs, and that at no costs, all in
all an invaluable gain for research and science.
The private hunting teams did all this without any financial support and
with high financial risks.

Until 2 years ago, the Omanis demonstrated no increased concern in their
meteorites at all and issued export permits for the stones too. If
Prof.Matter took exception to other teams hunting there, he should have
earlier cared for the restrictions to become operative, which should have
been possible as the Suisse universities are working together with the Omani
for more than 30 years.
Though, if this would have been a service rendered to science and research,
I personally strongly doubt.
I haven't the data of the Suisse finds (anywhere a list available?),
but I read that all their expeditions from 2001-2003 resulted in a mere
number of only 200 different meteorites.
The parallely hunting private teams were ways more successful.

If I take a look on the score card for lunaites from Oman,
I find there the SaU 169 found by the Suisse expeditions with 206 grams,
while the depredators recovered 11 different Moons in Oman with a total
weight of 3956 grams, meaning that with the for the classification required
deposit material, they made available for research 3 or 4 times more lunar
material from much more different falls than the Suisse teams did
and this again at no costs.
The records for Martians: Suisse teams: 1 - 233g; Private teams: 3 - 12,084g
(I chose Mars&Moon as examples, because they were highlighted on the
websites in Switzerland, but I guess with other rare types the ratios will
be similar).

Unfortunately the publications database of the University of Bern is out of
order ( http://www.geo.unibe.ch/english/scientificworks.htm ), 
but in past they had there no remorse to carry out research and analysis on
such "robbed" "heritage" like NWA-meteorites (e.g. NWA 031, NWA 773, NWA
176, DaG 262 or even stones from Oman found by commercial hunters like e.g.
Dhofar 081.)

Also in the collection of the Natural History Museum of Bern,
are found several specimens fitting to Prof.Matter's accusation,
as there are held samples of Acfers, NWAs, DaGs and from Oman SaU 005 and
Dho 378, all not found by the Suisse teams.

(Btw. Prof.Matters seems to have no concerns about commercialism, when he's
publishing in the GeoArabia journal, which is sponsored by such corporations
like BP, Shell, Chevron, ExxonMobil, Total, Saudi Aramco.)

I can understand, that Prof.Matter is furious about the hunters, who
nowadays don't respect the newer legal situation in Oman, but this justifies
not to disavow and to criminalize the hunting teams, which were active
before, with such an undifferentiated statement in public.
He should rather demonstrate the respect, which is due to the other teams
with their enormous quantity and quality of finds, which they made
accessible for research.
I don't want to impute petty jealousies to him, that the other teams were
much more successful or that because of the long cooperation between Suisse
and Omani institutions he might tend to think that all finds should have
been researched by the university of Bern,
really not,
and I'm sure that if he looks a little bit back in the history of
meteoritics and also to other countries than Oman in present, then he will
recognise, that with exception of the Antarctic meteorites practically all
meteorites where brought to light and were delivered to science almost
solely by private individuals and initiatives.

I thought that this hollow and artificial conflict about private hunting vs.
institutional research was negotiated long ago,
and I really wonder that this issue is rehashed again.

But perhaps he was misquoted (I can't imagine, that a professional
meteoricist with his knowledge and insights would launch such a silly
statement)? 
In this case my mail here would be of course unfonded and meaningless.

If I were in the place of Prof.Matter I gladly would invite professional
hunters, who demonstrated in past, that they are better trained and skilled
than the Suisse team members in finding and recognizing rare types in the
field, to join the Suisse expeditions. This would be the most promising
solution. The Suisse team's finding quota would raise remarkably, the found
meteorites would be completely reserved to research and as the hunters
should be remunerated by contracts, they wouldn't have to throw away their
finds below costs as it happe

Hello,

I'm hardly working on my Online Encyclopedia of
Meteorites project, filling thousands of files with as
much information and pictures as possible.

I would like to know what you would like in this kind
of online encyclopedia.

A remind : it will be a subscription system (not
expensive) which will allow to view all meteorites and
also help you for your collection catalog.

Just tell me your ideas, what you want (don't want)...

continued mess.I was very stressed out when I did what I did.But after
sometime out to reflect where I want to go,it became clear what is more
important.PEOPLE!This is the last day of my sale,where from now till 9 pm
chicago time,everything continues to be half price.I added 6 more nice
pieces today,all half off and I will continue to pay for shipping.After
this sale I will become invisible for a while.I will continue to go by
art's rules.But lately I noticed othe r people have disobeyed them as
well.Again I am sorry.

List, 
  Here is the link.  My computer is not working
