hilarious:

[meteorite-list] Help! Searching for a photo of Iron Creek that can be published.

[Bigjohn Shea via Meteorite-list]

Hello Everyone,



Hope your week is off to a good start.



 



I’ve recently finished an article on the Iron Creek Meteorite, from Canada, which is slated to be published soon.



 



I’m looking for a good photo of the meteorite on its pedestal in the Provincial Museum of Alberta which I can use to accompany the article. If it is nice enough the publisher may even chose to use it as the cover photo.



 



I’m also looking for a good photo of some etched specimens of the meteorite. I know it is a rare meteorite to find in private collections, but I’m reaching out to museums as well for good photos.



 



There are numerous photos of the meteorite online, but I have been unable to acquire the permission to them for various reasons.



 



This article is scheduled to be published in November right now, so if you have photos which you took or that you have the publication rights to, and you would be willing to share them with me for the article, please contact me at your convenience and we can discuss their use.



 

Thank you for your time!



Cheers,



John A. Shea, MD

Re: [meteorite-list] FW: Incredible Wine Alert: Barry Schuler's Meteor

[Mattias Bärmann via Meteorite-list]

Hi Doug, listers & listesses , -

in this context I would like to suggest /Domaine Du Météore/ from the 
Languedoc, France. It is far from being proven, but the grapes are at 
least cultivated in a crater, of which origin ever:


http://languedocwinetales.blogspot.de/2010/10/meteoric-faugeres.html

I know the different sorts of red wine of this domaine, they are superb 
and the price is well appropriate.


And no, I am not the owner nor a relative or friend nor a shareholder 
(unfortunately).


Best regards

Matthias

"Barry Schuler's Meteor"

OK, I aslo had been hearing about this ... let me share what a quick check up 
on it yielded:  Nothing meteoric about this besides a 5 cent label (Does the 
owner collect meteorites?  I dunno).

Looks to me like the "meteor" name was was inspired from the company Medior, 
Inc. in the 1990's.  Mr. Schuler went bankrupt with his prior Internet bubble company.  
Not content with that, Medior was incorporated as a company that took its name from 
adding *media* content ... mainly to Apple and AOL as it turned out.  Eventually AOL took 
it over and with him in management worked through inflating valuations until they could 
take over Time-Warner in the world's most lopsided, poorly made merger imaginable.

At that time AOL (which included Medior attempting to "develop AOL further) was 
widely hated by almost everyone on the Internet due to their marketing and billing 
practices.  When AOL crashed and burned, the owner's golden parachute and his 1990's 
sweet dream in life was to make it big and retire in a vineyard with his business 
partner he married then.  The first commercial single-origin bottles (vs sold to 
blenders) were produced in 2005 and and more quantities in 2006.  Since 2013, the 
2006 is supposed to be entering its prime, which should continue another 8 years or 
so.  Since the price has been edging down it looks like it is not doing as well as 
they hoped.

Anyway, the meteor business is purely a marketing label, unless you consider 
all the river rocks (could be viewed as meteor-wrongs!) that were scattered 
throughout the vineyard, there is nothing interesting here.

 From the folks who brought you AOL, and made you hate it, over $100 per bottle shipped 
(at 59% off "list" today only), the only meteoric thing I can find to review 
about this wine is its price ... *gulp* (gulps on sale are $10 ea.)...

That said, if you think it tastes good, that would be thanks to the couple 
working the land that put their heart and soul into administering the place and 
I wish them well as all hard-working American farmers!  Disclaimer:  Never 
tasted it, and probably never will.

I predict that wine futures of this beverage will crash and burn in its time 
... like any good meteor, after the lights go out, just like AOL which 
incidentally is currently an excellent service for economical email under new 
management that is no longer looking at creating a modern-day tulipmania and 
cashing in before brick and mortar folk have time to mull over what's happening 
:-)

Kindest wishes
Doug

A little while back, someone was asking about bottles of wine from this winery. I can't 
remember who was asking, so here is a link for 59% off this very expensive wine. This offer is 
only good for today and no, I won’t be buying any. :-)Mendy
