How to get that together with meteorites? Those endless battles made it very difficult to hunt with detectors in Europe for meteorites. Peaceful Weekend!

Couldn't let this topic pass by without making a post. One of the most fantastic books in my library is Hector Servadac by Jules Verne. In it a comet is picking up part of the Earth (with some inhabitants) and brings it along on a fantastic journey. The interesting thing isn't the journey in it self, but the description of the different people that went along. All from the great french officers, stubborn brittish and a crooked jew. I gives a nice view of what the mindset was among the people in Europe late in the 19:th century.

One day, in this sweet midwestern American boredom, the Earth takes a turn unexpectedly and quake hits, followed by every extraterrestrial, governmental plague and monsterous vermin that can be thrown at its inhabitants, including Diana. With the help of a geologist, Diana goes down a pit where they find a flying saucer that kidnaps them, one mishap and incredible recovery takes place after another, the upper and lower worlds, with almost all their monsters and creatures facing destruction.

Re: [meteorite-list] website GONE
Hi Steve and all, I once had a wise old teacher at school tell the students that as long as what another person does, doesn't effect other people that is his or her business. If what that person does, DOES effect other people then it becomes their business or in this case the list business. Had you simply taken a little friendly advise from those people who were trying to offer it to you in the very beginning, I think the outcome would have been very much different than what it is now. I tried to help you out at first so it would save you this trouble and embarrassment and you told me you could do what ever you wanted and this was a free country and mind my own business. I think it was about a week later that several list members sent you the first comments about the sale advertisements you were constantly posting and have constantly posted until so many people were sending open and private emails to you letting you know there feelings about your posts. You don't seem to understand that if you can constantly post sale ads that people have the right to then complain about them (cause and effect). Had you abided by the once a week rule, I don't think anyone would have said anything to you. Your no better or less better than anyone else on the list but you are the one who has generated the negative posts from the list by not abiding by the simple rules. You can't blame anyone but yourself. --AL steve arnold wrote: Also a HUGE apology to all on this list for the misgivings of all this posts to advertise my sales.There is nothing left to sell.The rest of anything else is on ebay.And just a side note,I wish anyone who likes to do PUBLIC attacks on this list please keep it private.NO ONE LIKES PUBLIC ATTACKS.For some reason some people think that everything here needs to be aired.NO MORE!! __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Re: [meteorite-list] ACID FOR ETCHING: QUESTION
While Ferric Chloride is safer, it is much slower… and it seems (to me anyway) that the etched definition is much lower…. I have found a good source for small quantities of nitric acid to be jewelers, especially those that plate gold. They mix hydrochloric with nitric to make aqua regia, an acid powerful enough to dissolve gold. Very dangerous stuff and certainly not an acid that you would ever use on a meteorite, unless you want to see it disappear… however many will sell you a small amount of nitric if you ask. Again, they use the pure stuff so be real careful… take it home wrapped in lots of paper in a box. Dilute it! Typical is a 5% Nitric solution using 100% denatured ethyl alcohol (not the isopropyl type in water) or 1 part pure nitric in 19 parts alcohol.

Now, that's how to name a war! Clear, concise, and everybody knows exactly what it's all about. Hey Sterling, Hah! remember studies in Western Civ - between Physics and philosophy class :-) -, really, the USA has darn well so managed to have a war equally magnificient in name as the War of Jenkin's Ear. It was called The War of Jenkin's Ear; Same Jenkins - and it wasn't Jenkin's other ear. Don't forget that Jenkin's ear was supposedly severed in the Americas, and he was as English as George Washington at the time. So I'd Argue that not only did the Americans participate in that war - they also started it. Not to mention the USA started the funiest named war of all: The Quasi-War as thanks to the French right after the French supported the American Independence effort. That particular Jenkin's Ear war in the 1740's is actually the same war that was contracted by the European continent and spread to Bohemia and resulted in the French tossing the Elbogen Iron meteorite down the to the bottom of the Bohemian well where it rusted for 40 years. It was a small world back then, too. In the USA, in the great American State of Georgia, the military general who founded Georgia wasted no time to marshal his proud Savannah compatriots and adventurous Charlestonians out of South Carolina to pillage everything from Jacksonville, Florida to St. Augustine, and that was only openers. Oh the United States has had oogles more practically nameless wars than you give it credit for in those years. They don't Google easily out of a database like your nice European ones, but they were bloodier if Indians are men considered equal in the eyes of the Creator. You've got to consider that in Europe all those wars were spread among 20-30 countries. How many Indian real nations do you think the singular USA trounced in a religious ferver to achieve its destiny? The USA is a nation that was perpetually at war on its own and its extended frontiers. There are more Indian wars alone, than Indian nations that yielded in defeat against the cleansing of the continent from Atlantic to Pacific. Take Florida, which heaped war upon wars, genocide and forced relocation. Or maybe Missouri - if the Indians had caught on quicker, you might be living in a teepee today, or at least your neighbor :-) As for the lack of colorful names of wars in the USA even without considering who started the War of Jenkin's Ear, does Europe have a Battle of Little Bighorn, which is a battle the war easily can assume for the name, and really was the fight leading to the demise of a race of people? If that isn't enough, how about the Gipper's Star Wars, who has one of those programs besides George Lucas? And I am convinced that the US participated as a silent partner in the infamous Football War, as well...

[meteorite-list] What is this?
Anybody have any ideas? Obviously not a meteorite but here is the story. I have a friend who has what he thinks is a metorite which was disccovered near an adena indian burial mound by a grave digger in 1894 and given to a doctor for a medical bill. This possible metorite weighs about 75 lbs. and is black in color like the one you have for same but it is more symmetrical and water melon shaped.

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite novels -gifts II
Hi, Doug, Martin, List, Operating on the principle that the longer I talk, the more likely my chance to really annoy someone becomes, I snipped a lot of sentences out of what I originally wrote. The history of the USA up until 1900-1910 is best described as a kind of ongoing conflict, somewhat short of formal war. I was going to say that, so no disagreement there. In fact, the history of most nations can be so described with some accuracy. Even with Martin's addition of a few hundred more wars for Europe, there's a background of conflict that generates them. The Serbian obsession with Kosovo, its ancient homeland, dates from a conquest late in the first millennium AD of the people who still live there, the Illyrians, or rather their descendents, who were there before the first millennium BC, which makes the Serbian historical claim look a little silly. But these ethnic histories solve nothing; one has only to look at the Middle East to have that demonstrated. Such arguments over who is exclusively entitled to the land are endless, unending, and productive of nothing but carnage, even between folks as completely and totally indistinguishable as two Irishmen. United Statesians (so as to avoid the over-broad usage of Americans) mostly have what is so often called a naive view: Why doesn't everybody just forget about settling the score for the past and try to work on solving the problems that exist NOW? The scorn of the sophisticated not withstanding, there is a another name for this: SANITY. If the price of this mental health is to be achieved by, say, modern Europeans, acting as if THEY never had a war, being morally superior to those so backward as to get stuck in conflicts, well, sanity is worth that. That IS the idea -- to dump the past. History, said James Joyce a century ago, is a nightmare I'm trying to wake up from. does Europe have a Battle of Little Bighorn, which... was the fight leading to the demise of a race of people? Duh. Yeah! And the Sioux (and all the other tribes that participated in an INDIAN victory there) still exist, no thanks to General Custer, just as Jews still exist, no thanks to... We weren't going to drag up the past, were we? if the Indians had caught on quicker... American natives caught on right away. They each and all sat in council about what to do about the odd newcomers from the very year they first showed up! Every strategy you can imagine was tried. It's common- place to present these centuries of native statecraft as if they all sat there like idiots until the late 1800's, but that notion is what is really demeaning. A delay of a potential annihilation for centuries is a major achievement; there are innumerable spots around the globe where indigenous peoples have been destroyed in a decade or three. As for uniting scores, even hundreds, of nations with no common language, belief, or culture, ask Tecumseh about how that worked out... The real war was epidemiological. The Black Death made its way into North America ahead of the Europeans, in the 15th century, and was followed shortly by a flood of new European diseases in the next century. Europeans, in person, were entering devastated and de-populated lands everywhere in the New World, north and south. Not that they weren't trying to kill the locals, just that their efforts were puny compared to what the microbes (whose existence both sides were unaware of) accomplished. It's hard to slow down an invasion when your own population is reduced by up to 90%! I'm sorry you were so upset by General Oglethorpe and the Battle of Bloody Marsh, Doug, but I will remind you that it took place after Jerkins carted his ear-in-a-jar up to the British Parliment and got Walpole to declare the Ear War. Had the fortunes of war fallen differently, why, you would be walking the picturesque calles de Neuvo Atlanta, capitol of Las Floridas del Norte, while avoiding the camera-toting USian tourists in their garish shirts and plastic flip-flops... I would love to kick around the causes of the five-day Football War with you, Doug, but I think that it breaks the tenuous chain that links Jenkins' ear to a wet meteorite in a moat surrounded by mocking Frenchmen!
