Re: [meteorite-list] wire saw comment
If you guys think that saw is a wire saw, then heck, I have several in my garage, I just never knew it! That saw is a typical rock saw, a typical round blade, and can be bought very easy anywhere.

[meteorite-list] 'Stardust' Brings a Falling Star to the Silver Screen
http://www.syracuse.com/articles/entertainment/index.ssf?/base/entertainment-0/118604544413010.xml 'Stardust' brings a falling star to the silver screen By Joan E. Vadeboncoeur syracuse.com August 05, 2007 A star falls to Earth, crashing into a magical kingdom. But the star is not a meteorite. It is a beautiful woman. Thus begins Stardust, based on a book by Neil Gaiman and starring Claire Danes. Because she has secret powers, she is chased by an array of individuals seeking her powers. However, she has a youth named Tristan (James McAvoy of The Last King of Scotland) to help her evade the pursuers. His alliance with the star takes him away from his village's most young woman (Sienna Miller), who he had hoped to wed. Michelle Pfeiffer portrays a chillingly powerful witch, Robert De Niro is a pirate captain and Peter O'Toole dons regal robes as a king. Set to open Friday, the screen adaptation is directed by Matthew Vaughn.

[meteorite-list] Collection Falls Into Hands of Meteorite Gallery in Texas
http://www.star-telegram.com/metro_news/story/192739.html Collection falls into hands of meteorite gallery By JOHN AUSTIN Star-Telegram (Texas) August 6, 2007 FORT WORTH -- There's nothing like a new box of old rocks -- at least for meteorite collectors. That's why Arthur Ehlmann, curator of the Monnig Meteorite Gallery at Texas Christian University, is a happy guy. The gallery recently acquired samples of 22 of the world's most coveted meteorites. The $70,000 haul comes from the Vaux meteorite collection at Philadelphia's Academy of Natural Sciences. Some were collected in the 19th century and have been in deep storage for 50 years. I have a friend in Oregon, he'd kill for this, Ehlmann said, picking up a polished, blade-shaped piece. I think I could get $100,000 for it. The specimen comes from the famed Hoba meteorite in Africa, the heaviest single mass of space rock yet discovered on Earth, he said. A collector sliced the sample from the meteorite with an acetylene torch. Access to the Hoba is now restricted, and samples are highly prized. The acquisitions are not on display, but Ehlmann will show them to visitors on request. They are all extremely rare pieces, he said. You're dealing with these things like rare paintings. TCU rocks Who collected them? Department store magnate Oscar Monnig, a dedicated meteorite collector, left Texas Christian University his meteorite collection and $4.3 million estate for the preservation of the Monnig Meteorite Gallery. Where: Oscar E. Monnig Meteorite Gallery, 2950 W. Bowie St., Fort Worth, in the Sid Richardson Science Building on the TCU campus Hours: 1-4 p.m. Tuesday-Friday; 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday.

Re: [meteorite-list] wire saw comment (and cuting units at all)
Dear list. I was also interested to see what equipment Matteo have and also like You I was dissapointed :) In fact Im owner of wire saw machine that use 17 meters of diamond wire. I have buy it 1 year ago on eBay from USA. Sorry I cant remember the factory as I have it on other place, but if someone is interested I can check it. Funny thing is that this wire saw is. 20 or 30 years old. Yes I know what You think but it really works. You dont need equipment full of microchips for 50 000$ to move some meters of wire. I have paid something like 300$ + 100$ shipping, so Im even better than Matteo with his wire saw for 1000$. Anyway after few tests I dont use it becouse cuting take lng time. Propably wire is dead. I can buy new wire but minimum 50-100meters. But I need only 17 meters, so I put it to box again. It wait for better time. From the other side, I use on my Silver Blade blades from 0.15-0.3mm (up to 0.8mm 10inches). My cut loses are at range from 10-13% cuting into full slices 2-4mm. Wire saws also use usualy wires around 0.2mm (as I know) so I dont see a reason for myself to buy, or use any kind of wire saw. And I can cut everything into slices from thickness 0.5mm to 50mm in a size up to 10cm. So in face as long as I dont cut lunars or martians I dont need wire saw even for expensive achondrites becouse I dont expect big difference beetween my saw and wire saw for 50 000$. Propably Im wrong, beouse wire saw MUST have something that cost this thousands of $$$ and whay it is better than my saw :) This topic is interesting so maybe others can share some photos of their wire saws at work or any stories about cuting meteorites on them. I also like to see Your normal diamond blades that You use for cutting meteorites. This could be interesting and strong meteorite related. PS.

Re: [meteorite-list] 'Stardust' Brings a Falling Star to the SilverScreen
Dear List, I appear to be back on line and will take this opportunity to HEARTILY RECOMMEND that each and every meteorite friend see this movie, Stardust as well as say hello and sorry to be out of touch with all of my favorite list members. Last year I rated all of the meteorite related fiction I could find with the help of the list and bought every single book covered (most in Spanish which proved a great challenge to find translations, as the best were to be gifts for aspiring monolingual meteorite hunters). While I haven't seen any pre-screenings, it would be very hard to fail into coloring this book into a movie. It's the most enchanting movie to lift our spirits - and will feel equally comfortable watching going out with your loved one, your friends, or your children for the unforgettable fairytale which is a latent commendation of meteorite hunting. STARDUST by the British author Neil Gaiman was the otherworldly gem that came gracefully streaming several thousand leagues above the field of other books. It did so because it romanticizes meteorite hunting in linking it to the quest for love in what we think is just a stone. The author ingeniously pulls off an adult fairy tale that children will believe is their exclusive domain. But it ranks with Alice in Wonderland excepting that the theme is 100% ours to share. This story will never lose style. All is united into everything beloved about meteorite hunting; all is clear as to why these extraterrestrial stones are forever young and always treasured. Hidden away in the text I even found the explanation as to why meteorites hold such a fantasy-like fascination: what happens to them if they cross the gate of the Wall where there is no return and graceful meteoroids turn into metallic stones. Stardust is a brilliantly related fantasy novel made to our order. One opens their eyes wide and wonders what a meteorites could say if it had such an alluring voice (that naively shrieks something pejorative like f---! upon painful impact with Earth*). It's a square hit on the meteoritical anvil, brimming with disguised whining witches, whose fingers, if given the chance to get to the meteorite first, would usurp the Italian de Marsiliis's Chinese Water Drop torture in Brian Innes's The History of Torture (1998) without any givaway crumbs. Not to mention other charming characters to meet along the way... *At least this was my interpretation in the Spanish translation If you want to know more about the tale, please click on this post to the list, http://six.pairlist.net/pipermail/meteorite-list/2006-November/028476.html I hope all are in great health and wish you all the best, Doug - Original Message - From: Ron Baalke [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Meteorite Mailing List meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Sent: Monday, August 06, 2007 2:17 PM Subject: [meteorite-list] 'Stardust' Brings a Falling Star to the SilverScreen http://www.syracuse.com/articles/entertainment/index.ssf?/base/entertainment-0/118604544413010.xml 'Stardust' brings a falling star to the silver screen By Joan E.

Never, NEVER underestimate Hollywood's ability to dumb down and destroy any work of literature, so don't be too hopeful on this yet. Having said that, there are two main versions of Stardust-- one of them a richly illustrated graphic novel, and the other a normal novel. The normal novel has some modifications to the text, mainly to add descriptions that weren't necessary in the version with illustrations. If you are going to buy a copy, make sure that you buy the illustrated version.
