[meteorite-list] Bessy comment
A couple of weeks back, Dean offered a new NWA known as the "BL" series. I normally dont buy NWA's for reasons we have shared on this list. I was reluctant and based on the photos, I was skeptical. I asked Dean about a few of them and ended up getting my LAST choice because of the flurry of sales Dean was going through. Dean said.. "BL15" is all that I have left and will reserve it for you. Well, yesterday it showed up on-time! All I can say is..If this is the "worst of the bunch" then the other 39 folks got really really nice specimens. My BL15 is way better than the photo. Mine has it all. Its oriented and shows flow lines, rollover edge, and plenty of thumb prints. A personal thanks to Dean Bessy for brining this truly nice NWA to all of us (40). Dave Radosevich

Viewing conditions in Maui have been crappy, with a nearly constant high overcast for the last 2 weeks, and horizon haze otherwise. And I'm too lazy to drive up 45 minutes to the tip-top of Haleakala and brave the chill and wind for 20 minutes of maybe-viewing before the comet sets at this latitude :-) For an island that has such great tourist appeal, we haven't had much amateur astronomy appeal lately.

[meteorite-list] Help with Meteorite Talk
Hi all, I am giving another meteorite talk tomorrow and would like to include a section on meteorites that have hit "man made objects" like houses, cars, and mail boxes. If you have pictures that can be emailed to me, that would be great. Also looking for unusual and funny pictures regarding meteorites like the picture I missed last week of the old woman meteorite landing on a man! Thanks in advance...

I bought it because of it's Macro abilities. The Coolpix 950, 990, and 995 also have good Macro abilities but are a little less on the megapixel scale. Also, they are much cheaper! Here is a good website on camera reviews with user forums: http://www.dpreview.com/ I am still practicing as I have only had the camera a few days. The most difficult thing that I have found is getting enough light on the subject as you can put the lens as close as .8 inch from the subject which tends to allow the camera to throw shadows. If anyone knows of a good lighting retail source for photography please let me know. Here are two photos that I just took. The first is my .5 gram slice of Calcalong Creek: http://208.55.105.193/calcalongcreek.JPG This photo is a close-up of NWA 482: http://208.55.105.193/nwa482closeup.JPG So far this is a great little Camera/Computer.

RE: [meteorite-list] Re: be careful with Brad Sampson :-(
Boo whoo! No apology here! Sorry to here of your troubles but your conduct over the last few years is what is being discussed. and based on your history... I don't care to believe anything you say People should be warned that you don't deliver until hounded over and over no matter what the excuses are Dave -Original Message-From: Brad Sampson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Sent: Friday, March 01, 2002 12:20 PMTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: [meteorite-list] Re: be careful with Brad Sampson :-( First of all, i was away from my computer for 2 1/2 weeks last month. My best friend of 15 years was killed in a car crash and when i returned home i became ill. I had to be taken to the emergency room by my mom and sister. I was not able to answer any emails or conduct business during that time. Don't worry, i'm the one who's out $4,000, not you. Your replacement items were shipped out the first of last week so i will be expecting a public apology shortly.

RE: [meteorite-list] be careful with Brad Sampson :-(
One negative and one positive for Brad Sampson... Well, here is another "Brad" testimony for the negative. I have had two purchases from Mr. Sampson and both took months for him to ship. When I received my goods (after many emails and threats)they where poorly represented. I will never buy from him again. And on the positive note: who would dare cheat Mr. Schoner! Good luck Vincent, your gonna need it.
