[meteorite-list] RE: Meteorite Talk/Program Topics

Hi Al, and All, Your ideas for list discussion are wonderful. Matter of fact, these were the very topics I had hoped for when I joined the list several years ago. I kept "hanging in there" hoping the bad seeds would go away and leave a comfortable forum to promote and foster our fascinating hobb

[meteorite-list] Meteorite Display Stand - Gift

Hello Folks, It's not much but I'm caught up in the Holiday Spirit and would like the opportunity to give a little “thank you” gift to each of you. (OK, so it "could be" partly a shameless promo as well?) Whatever you choose to think of it as, you can email your postal address to: [EMAIL PROTECT

RE: [meteorite-list] NWA's, "Dealers", Science, & NomCom

Hello Jeff, First off, I would like to thank you for all your time and effort you place into this list. I’m sure I’m not alone when I say that your name is one of several that prompt one to pause and fully read your posts. I wonder if you might clarify for me your example (copied below) of NWA

Hello Walter, My first visit to Spaceweather.com and was worth it. Hopes were high that someone would commit 2004 FH flyby to film and share. thanks- Mike __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteo

[meteorite-list] RE: 'Serious Anomaly'

Well Mark, (pun intended) My wife suggests NASA examine me as she says I exhibit the same 'Serious Anomaly' as Spirit when it comes to staring at a Mars rock... I have no idea what's she's talking about I communicate just fine... when I want to. Impatiently waiting close-ups, Mike __

[meteorite-list] Fireballs and Electrophonic sounds

Hello List, If you don't have a copy of "The Cambridge Encyclopedia of Meteorites" by O. Richard Norton, I strongly suggest putting it on your Christmas wish list, you won't regret it. The second chapter describes the fireball phenomena and mentions Electrophonic sounds. Living in central New H

Thank you Anne. Looking forward to your new "A to Z" book release... no pressure but hope it's soon :>) I offer several displays but very limited in wooden bases at this time. Please have a look: http://www.migacorp.com/meteorite_display.htm Thanks, Mike Gallant     [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In a

[meteorite-list] Source for low cost chemicals

Hello Folks, In the search for a reliable source for low cost chemicals (besides the University five finger discount program) I came across an outfit called Hagenow Laboratories, Inc. in the fine state of Wisconsin. While all orders I placed with them over the years were accurately filled, they se

[meteorite-list] Makeshift membrane box

Hello List, What I am about to suggest does not have all of the positive attributes of a true HQ membrane case, such as the one offered by Ron Hartman and in no way should it be considered an equal substitute. This idea is for those, like me, that are in need of temporary protection (from the like

[meteorite-list] RE: Pads for 2"x2" boxes

Hello List, I had the pleasure of helping out a sweet lady, Anne Black, with her need for a padded 2x2 specimen box. We, (my daughter and I) built a quickie fixture to fabricate a two piece pad. The base layer is a 1/2" thick white foam topped with a white 1/16" thick felt. I think, similar to the

[meteorite-list] Re: Pardon me, dude

Hello Members, As one of the (I think many) silent members, I find this fighting and name calling appalling behavior. The only positive it seems to bring is to reaffirm, for me anyway, dealers that I would want to steer clear of. If others share my view, I would think a reduction in business for t

RE: [meteorite-list] Summertime Desiccant Tune-Up

Hello List, Mark's advise is a good one. "Also bear in mind that used up 'wet' silica Gel in an enclosed space can actually increase the humidity (since damp silica can dry out giving off water vapor) so recharge it regularly!!. For a bit more general information on desiccants, check this o

[meteorite-list] A warm thank you

Hello Dear list, A bunch of elementary school kids and I would like to publicly thank IMCA member, Roman Jirasek (meteoritelabels.com) for his generous gift of two dozen 2003 Meteorite calendars (shipping too) distributed at my first meteorite presentation. This presentation was truly a thrill for

[meteorite-list] Idle time links

Hello list, I've been following this list for a while now and I'm quite impressed with knowledge, enthusiasm and diversity of its members. While I'm still a little timid to "jump in", I thought I might at least express a little thank you by offering these links to those that might not have them. T
