I don't think they cared much about time zones but their calendar was more accurate than the one in use today. They had no need for leap years so you don't need to worry about them being a day or two off. They were a brilliant but brutal civilization. On another note, I have never seen so many airplane com trails as I have seen in the blue skies here today in Nevada. It looks like a lot of people are bugging out to Vegas to empty their bank accounts or at least bring on the end of the world as we know it in style.

Re: [meteorite-list] End of the World - NOT!
What if the "end" is not an instantaneous event? Maybe the process takes days or weeks and it starts on 12-21-12. The actual final act might be days or weeks away. It's a well-known fact that the alien tractor beam takes at least 11 days to move the Earth out of it's orbit. They activated it today, so relax. It will be next year before the Earth is plunged into the Sun. :) In the meantime, I am taking deposits on micromounts of the Nibiru impactor. Shortly after impact, I will don a +3 Radsuit and collect samples. These samples will be sold to those buyers who reserved first.

Re: [meteorite-list] Watch out Ebay Sellers! Total scammer scammingmeteorite!
What upsets me about eBay is that they seem to forget that the sellers are what brings them the revenue and that eBay is merely a facilitator, not a broker. There have been numerous times that they decided the fate of my money stored in their PayPal account. What gives them the right to decide that a parcel was not lost when it was really stolen? The exact situation Mike describes has happened to me many times, just to have eBay always side with the buyer even though proof of shipment was always produced. In my case, it seems to be big-ticket items that are lost, usually overseas. They will hold some of the sellers funds back in PayPal and decide the fate themselves. I even had an eBay agent have the nerve to give me a job evaluation on the telephone! I told her that "I do not work for eBay, they work for me and their performance is poor!" She then said, " I better have you talk to an account representative complementary due to detecting some hostility." You bet I become hostile when thousands of dollars have been stolen from my PayPal account by having them decide what to do with my funds in the case of a fake missing package report.

[meteorite-list] NASA Puts Orion Backup Parachutes to the Test
Dec. 20, 2012 Rachel Kraft Headquarters, Washington 202-358-1100 rachel.h.kr...@nasa.gov Brandi Dean Johnson Space Center, Houston 281-483-5111 brandi.k.d...@nasa.gov RELEASE: 12-441 NASA PUTS ORION BACKUP PARACHUTES TO THE TEST HOUSTON -- NASA completed the latest in a series of parachute tests for its Orion spacecraft Thursday at the U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground in southwestern Arizona, marking another step toward a first flight test in 2014. The test verified Orion can land safely even if one of its two drogue parachutes does not open during descent. Orion will take humans farther into space than ever before, but one of the most challenging things the multipurpose vehicle will do is bring its crew home safely. Because it will return from greater distances, Orion will reenter the Earth's atmosphere at speeds of more than 20,000 mph. After re-entry, the parachutes are all that will lower the capsule carrying astronauts back to Earth. "The mockup vehicle landed safely in the desert and everything went as planned," said Chris Johnson, a NASA project manager for Orion's parachute assembly system. "We designed the parachute system so nothing will go wrong, but plan and test as though something will so we can make sure Orion is the safest vehicle ever to take humans to space." Orion uses five parachutes. Three are main parachutes measuring 116 feet wide and two are drogue parachutes measuring 23 feet wide. The 21,000-pound capsule needs only two main parachutes and one drogue. The extra two provide a backup in case one of the primary parachutes fails. To verify Orion could land safely with only one drogue parachute, engineers dropped a spacecraft mockup from a plane 25,000 feet above the Arizona desert and simulated a failure of one of the drogues. About 30 seconds into the mockup's fall, the second drogue parachute opened and slowed the mockup down enough for the three main parachutes to take over the descent. The next Orion parachute test is scheduled for February and will simulate a failure of one of the three main parachutes. In 2014, an uncrewed Orion spacecraft will launch from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida on Exploration Flight Test-1. The spacecraft will travel 3,600 miles above Earth's surface. This is 15 times farther than the International Space Station's orbit and farther than any spacecraft designed to carry humans has gone in more than 40 years. The main flight objective is to test Orion's heat shield performance at speeds generated during a return from deep space.

[...] The lesson I've come away with is you had a hundred or so people in the field, you had researchers, you had meteorite dealers, you had members of the public, you had the state park's people and the degree of collaboration and enthusiasm amongst a hundred people ... they had one thing in common ... they were passionate about finding meteorites, some of them were gonna get money as well, some were gonna get other sorts of rewards but the point is, what Sutter's Mill demonstrated to me was how these very diverse people can come together and produce incredible results despite having come at the problem from very different directions. There is an innate passion for rocks from space that was a privilege to watch."

[meteorite-list] Urgent Note re:Paypal address for Price Report (and response to Don Merchant's book question)
Team Meteorite: re: Paypal I am receiving notes that payments for 'The Global Meteorite Price Report - 2013' made to Paypal searching 'Kevin Kichinka' don't go through. *Please try depositing funds at mars...@gmail.com and you will be successful.* And thanks to those already figuring this out. I am sending out both pdf files as fast as I can. re: 'The Art of Collecting Meteorites' - Don Merchant wonders how many copies were ever available, and would like to know their history. With pleasure I will describe this. In December, 2004 I purchased 1,000 paperback copies (I tend to call them 'hard copies' as differentiated from eBooks) from self-publisher Bookmasters in Ohio. Per contract I was liable for paying for 1,100 copies if their printing presses 'forgot' to stop at 1,000. Surprise! I got to pay for the extra 100 copies which was another $1,500. OK. In early 2011 I was running out of copies and realized that I was still selling one copy/week. I didn't have time to do the eBok thing yet. I didn't want to 'leave money on the table' nor did I want to disappoint new collectors, so I ordered up another 100 copies at a much higher per copy rate because of the small order and high shipping to Florida. I had to raise the cover price $5 to cover the difference. I am now down to about one dozen copies, Gary and Blaine, as mentioned, have a few more that they will likely offer at Tucson. As for 'signed and numbered copies', the first large batch - and the first week I offered the book I sold 300 copies- were signed, maybe signed and numbered. After that, I did it only when requested. Then after that, I put 'signed and numbered copies' only on eBay because they bring more $ sometimes. After that, I only offered signed copies on eBay. Now I have a couple left that will be signed for eBay and only #500 left of the numbered books. Next year I will de-activate the book's website as it is not needed for the eBook.. How 'bout that, Don! Thanks to all for your support of this project.

[meteorite-list] PSI Scientist Uses Weather Radars to Revolutionize the Recovery of Meteorites (Sutter's Mill Meteorite)
http://www.psi.edu/news/press-releases#suttersmill Partly Cloudy With a Chance of Meteorites: PSI Scientist Uses Weather Radars to Revolutionize the Recovery of Meteorites Planetary Science Institute Dec. 20, 2012, Tucson, Ariz. -- Scientists get to study meteorites in the laboratory all the time, but its not often that a scientist gets to work on a meteorite after watching that meteorite fall. This happened to Marc Fries of the Planetary Science Institute, who is performing laboratory analysis of meteorites from April's Sutter's Mill, Calif. meteorite fall. But there's a twist - Fries didn't see the meteorite fall with his own eyes, but rather was the first person to "see" the fall by looking through imagery from weather radars. Since finding the Sutter's Mill fall, Fries and his colleagues Robert Matson, Jake Schaefer and his meteorologist brother Jeff Fries have found three more confirmed meteorite falls in the United States in only eight months. The quick recovery and resulting findings are described in a Science paper published today titled "Radar enabled recovery of Sutter's Mill, a unique carbonaceous chondrite regolith breccia" on which Fries is a co-author. The Sutter's Mill meteorite fall occurred just before 8 a.m. April 22 as an uncommon daytime fireball. The fireball passed south of Reno, Nev., headed west and was seen across Nevada and California. Residents around Coloma, Calif. reported hearing a "scary" loud sonic boom that shook their houses. These are signatures of a meteorite fall, and there was immediate interest in finding the site where any meteorites would have landed. Traditional meteorite recovery based on eyewitness accounts, however, is a tedious and uncertain process. The American Meteor Society estimates that one meteorite fall occurs every day somewhere on Earth, and yet the Meteoritical Society typically records only about 10 new meteorite falls worldwide each year. Meteorite falls are fairly common, but meteorite recoveries are a rare event. A new tool is improving those odds. Weather radars operated by the National Weather Service continually scan the skies over the United States, and Fries and his colleagues realized that any meteorites that fall in the U.S. could be detected on radar. Sure enough, weather radars not only recorded the Sutter's Mill fall, but actually presented that data while the fall was still in progress. With radar imagery of the April 22 fall in hand, Fries immediately contacted Petrus Jenniskens of the SETI Institute in Mountain View, Calif. and lead author on the Science paper, and meteorite hunter Robert Ward. Fries directed them to the site of the meteorite fall, where they parked their vehicles. Both men proceeded to find meteorites in the parking lot. After these discoveries, meteorite hunters, scientists from nearby institutes, and curious members of the public descended on the site. To date more than 60 meteorites weighing a total of more than 900 grams - about two pounds - have been recovered. The meteorite, named "Sutter's Mill" after the historical site near where they were found, is a rare carbonaceous chondrite that contains valuable clues to the origin of Earth's water and light organic compounds that may have played a role in the origin of life. The Sutter's Mill meteorite is important to science because it is a leftover product from the same ancient processes that created the Earth and other planets. "This meteorite is about 4.5 billion years old," Fries said. "To put that in perspective, stretch your arms all the way out. Now let's say the distance across the span of your arms is 4.5 billion years. If that were 4.5 billion years, then a single swipe with a nail file across your outermost fingernail would remove all of recorded human history. But the meteorite has witnessed the entire span of time represented by your outstretched arms. It is probably the oldest thing you will ever encounter here on Earth." Fries is now part of a multi-institute consortium investigating the meteorite, and will analyze the structure of carbon in the Sutter's Mill carbonaceous chondrite using a technique called Raman spectroscopy. This technique measures the alteration that this meteorite has experienced in its lifetime, ranging from its initial formation from dust and gas, to accumulation into an asteroid, and finally to the events that created the bright fireball seen April 22 in Nevada and California. The use of weather radars to detect meteorite falls has already dramatically increased the number of meteorites available to science, and to the public. Since Sutter's Mill, the team has located the Battle Mountain, Nev. meteorite fall (5.9 kilograms of meteorites recovered), the Novato, Calif. fall outside San Francisco (approximately 364 grams recovered), and a fall outside of Addison, Ala. that to date has yielded about 90 grams of meteorites. Meteorites are found regularly in deserts around the world, but freshly fallen meteorites like

Re: [meteorite-list] Watch out Ebay Sellers! Total scammer scammingmeteorite!
i had an email from a buyer telling me how happy he was with the meteorite, then days later he filed a claim saying it never arrived. I sent first class $10 meteorite, and could not prove it. I showed eBay and Paypal the email proof of the buyer thanking me for the nice specimen, you know what they said? "Too bad, email communications with buyers don't count, only shipping proof". The con man got a refund and I got screwed. That was two years ago, my eBay sales have dropped 99%, no more auctions and only some store items left selling very slowly. I used to sell $30-60,000 a year on ebay! now perhaps $1000-3000. I guess their business geniuses figured that the $10 item i got stolen from me would not piss me off so badly. They were dead wrong, and it is costing them a lot of money. Multiply that by millions of pissed-off sellers and now you know why ebay is dropping like a rock revenue-wise.

Re: [meteorite-list] "The Art of Collecting Meteorites" now available for your Kindle or Nook! - ad
Hi List and Kevin. Can anyone briefly explain the history of this book. In other words I remember some years back when this came out for the very first time, and I purchased a soft cover copy. I believe at that point there were like only 300 or so copies ever available, and maybe the first 300 were signed. When did the amount change? When did it go to hardcover? Do I have a "first print"? Just wondering.

The race to sell more than a thousand copies of my self-published book before they become unwanted cockroach motels is nearly over. After this long run - mentor Darryl Pitt predicted in 2005 that the book would "have legs"- I am momentarily left with only a few hard copies of 'The Art". The economics and logistics predict there will never be more printed. But the spirit of the book lives on as an eBook, available to any who want some of my hopefully humble, thoughtful insight.

And nothing would have ever happened at all if Paul Harris hadn't found a way to re-format the books original file after I couldn't get it done commercially for love or money. I have added three important chapters covering the circumstances of the falls of Chassigny, Nakhla (with the only detailed, eye witnessed, fact-based and historic existing published account of the 'dog-gone') and now the complete illustrated "The Rise of the Raj and the Fall of Shergotty". MARSROX writing on Mars rocks :>) If my $15 "Global Meteorite Price Report - 2013" can't wiggle a way into your budget, the ebook is a $9.95 stocking stuffer. It IS last call on the paperback version so go to www.theartofcollectingmeteorites NOW for one of the few remaining available hard copies. After these are gone - Gary "Big Kahuna" and brother Blaine Reed have a few left, too- the last couple in my possession are destined for eBay in later days, including the penultimate signed and numbered #500. It is my sincerest pleasure to offer these works- the "Global Meteorite Price Report - 2013", the story of the circumstances surrounding the Shergotty fall, and a new version of "The Art" as an eBook to everyone that like me, has passion about those objects of attraction and dis-traction we call meteorites. And I could not do any of it without the help, guidance, inspiration and support from the generous members of Team Meteorite. Thank you!

Total scammer scammingmeteorite! So, I just wanted to tell my fellow ebay meteorite sellers about this total scammer on Ebay that is buying meteorites. This guy bought a really nice bullet-shaped Taza from me and stated that he didn't like it but he didn't want to go to the trouble of returning it, he just wanted his money back, and I told him that if he wanted his money back he was going to have to return the piece. I don't offer partial refunds or anything. I just needed the piece returned. Here's whet he did I almost still can't believe he did this - he returned to me a bubble mailer, with an EMPTY gemjar - no meteorite. He kept the TAZA and GOT a REFUND! Eventually Ebay ended up giving me my money back, but he also kept his money and the TAZA! Ebay says that they will let him steal this time, and keep him on Ebay, and just watch to see if he does it again. So, I am just warning all of you guys out there about him b/c I am sure if you are prone to do something that evil, you don't do it in a vacuum, and you will surely do it again. Here is all the info I have on him at this time from my unfortunate sale with him: Buyer: Member id yosefr2007 Buyer's Email: roza...@gmail.com rozany yosef Moza Tahtit MOZA TAHTIT mikud 90822 Jerusalem ISRAEL 90822 Israel If you want to keep your money, then I would advise you not sell to this clown.

Re: [meteorite-list] Bogus Emails
I received both emails, the one from Hupe and also the one from Higgins, I sent them straight to my junk folder unopened. So today I opened the folder and was surprised to see that the two bogus emails were indicated as having been opened. I know nothing about spam, never received any before that I'm aware of, so want to ask if the messages having been opened is a problem? Also, if anyone can explain how they got opened to begin with, was it simply that I had moved them?

Using Curiosity's percussive drill to collect a sample from the interior of a rock, a feat never before attempted on Mars, is the mission's priority for early 2013. After the powdered-rock sample is sieved and portioned by a sample-processing mechanism on the rover's arm, it will be analyzed by instruments inside Curiosity. Yellowknife Bay is within a different type of terrain from what the rover has traversed since landing inside Mars' Gale Crater on Aug. 5, PDT (Aug. 6, UTC). The terrain Curiosity has entered is one of three types that intersect at a location dubbed "Glenelg," chosen as an interim destination about two weeks after the landing. Curiosity reached the lip of a 2-foot (half-meter) descent into Yellowknife Bay with a 46-foot (14-meter) drive on Dec. 11. The next day, a dr
