Re: [meteorite-list] How do you pronounce...

2011-04-11 Thread Jeff Kuyken

Hi Paul,

The second one is right for Huckitta. (Huck-i-tuh) Actually I have found 
that if you use Google Translate you will get a close approximation for 
most of the Aussie names. It can actually pull off Millbillillie believe it 
or not! ;-)


Just type the name in the first box, select the native language and hit the 
speaker icon.

Hi All,
Jeff, Thanks for the pointing to Google Translate!
I tired a few Russian names
- Sikhote-Alin (Сихотэ-Алинь):
(http://translate.google.com/#ru|en|%D1%81%D0%B8%D1%85%D0%BE%D1%82%D1%8D-%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%B8%D0%BD%D1%8C)
- Isheyevo (Ишеево):
(http://translate.google.com/#ru|en|%D0%B8%D1%88%D0%B5%D0%B5%D0%B2%D0%BE)
- And my favorite one: El'gygytgyn (Эльгыгытгын):
(http://translate.google.com/#ru|en|%D0%AD%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%B3%D1%8B%D0%B3%D1%8B%D1%82%D0%B3%D1%8B%D0%BD)
And I can say that pronunciation is very, very close!
Best regards,

Re: [meteorite-list] How do you pronounce...

2011-04-11 Thread Richard Kowalski
I wonder if a link could be added to Met Name Database where this pronunciation 
tool could be accessed directly? One could find the meteorite of interest and 
along with all of the other details of the meteorite, click on am icon and hear 
the pronunciation. I'm not sure of Google Translate can be linked directly, but 
this might be possible,

[meteorite-list] NYT rebuttel letter soaring world wide

2011-04-11 Thread U.S. Airborne
Hi Anne  list  Just a quick up date on your rebuttal letter.  When I was 
out in Fl doing a few of my flying shows I ran into a old flying friend that 
runs the largest world wide hang gliding  paragliding on line rag. I told 
him I was out hunting meteorites in my spare time. We were there at the 
Wallaby Hang gliding party where  I was demoing out our newest motorized 
soaring hang glider trike


Here is short vid of our flying party

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6G_rdpp4Vqk

As I was flying home I received a e-mail from him showing me the NYT story. 
I wrote him back with my reaction that's its totally not true and that it's 
a totally legal trade here in USA  most all the rest of the world. No black 
market here in my world at all.


So After I received your letter Anne on your NYT rebuttal . I shot him over 
a e-mail with your nicely laid out response.


here is the web page for it.  So its quickly traveling world wide with my 
flying brothers  sisters now likely all reading it.


http://ozreport.com/blog.php

So just wanted to give you a heads up it is now soaring world wide in a 
funny way.

Re: [meteorite-list] How do you pronounce...

2011-04-11 Thread Michael Mulgrew
In Spanish the double L is pronounced like a Y, so Allende is
pronounced 'Ah-yen-day'.

 I posted this once before but since you are working on these
 pronunciations now...A friend of ours came from Willamette, OR. She
 says Willamette is pronounced Wil lam it, with emphasis on the second
 syllable.

Bjurbole is pronounced (in English) as gerbil and not beer belly! I also

[meteorite-list] meteoritehistory.info now back online

2011-04-11 Thread Eric Hutton
My web site http://www.meteoritehistory.info is now back online, its been 
unavailable for about 3 months, and is now with a new web hosting company.


Check out the what's new page for 'recent' to the web site that is,  at 
http://www.meteoritehistory.info/NEW.HTM


Its some time since I mentioned the web site on meteoritecentral so I am 
repeating the background information here...


The web site provides over 10,000 pages of information, 1281 articles, 
representing about 400 meteorite falls/finds and numerious reports of meteor 
showers and individual fireballs. The content was originally published on 3 
CDs between 1998 and 2003, but is now freely available online and has been 
extended as additional items and time become available.


The content is 69% in English, German makes up 19%, with French 11.5% and 
Spanish 0.5%.


The original texts have been scanned, and are viewable on screen as 
'photocopies'.  At the top and bottom of each page are options to go forward 
to the next page, back to the previous page,  or start at the first page. In 
addition the larger articles and books allow you to start at a particular

page number, or use an index.

Becuase of copyright restrictions almost all of the articles, reports and 
books are pre 1923 (USA copyright) or 70 years after death of author (UK)


Enjoy.

Re: [meteorite-list] Rebuttal to NY Times article

2011-04-11 Thread Adam Hupe
Great Job,

Maybe we can all learn something from this.
 
Anne did a great job of researching the facts before posting the rebuttal.  
More 
importantly, she was elected by her peers to represent most of us publicly and 
was not acting in a self-promotional manner. 


It is too bad W. Broad from the New York Times didn’t perform proper research 
before writing this fiction and passing it off as the Gospel truth.  I think 
his 
Pulitzer awards should be retracted.  His writings reflect poorly on the 
citizens of New York, the NYT and the rest of the media for that matter.  He 
has 
demonstrated that his creative writing skills are only capable of producing 
nonsense at the cost of good people’s reputations.  It is obvious that he could 
care less about the truth, only promoting himself and his ratings.
 
I hope nobody is stupid enough to give him the time of day again when he 
requests interviews for his follow up piece.  He has proven himself an 
adversary 
and someone to definitely avoid.
 
It is a crapshoot when dealing with the press.  Anybody with any long-term 
experience on the subject knows that former treasure hunters have, in most 
cases, undeservedly suffered greatly at the hands of the press. We should not 
make the same mistake.  Simply calling meteorites treasure conjures up old 
ideas 
of looting, smuggling and lawsuits.  

 
Professional archeologist, who engage in treasure hunting never use the term 
treasure or attach price tags to objects publicly.  Rock Hounds have learned 
the 
lesson and do not call themselves treasure hunters. Even after several decades, 
the tarnished image of treasure hunting still prevails.  It is interesting that 
this reporter brought up Egypt where looting was real in the past and well 
founded.  He then made the connection between meteorites and ancient treasure. 

 
Although meteorites are treasure, they go far beyond being mere treasure. They 
shouldn’t be referred to as treasure unless you want to open the doors on the 
past.  It is best to learn from treasure hunters and disconnect from them 
publicly, at least in the media.
 
I admit to being a former treasure hunter who has moved onto the more 
respected, 
at least for now, avocation of meteorite hunter and collecting.  



Meteorite Connoisseur,

 
Adam

[meteorite-list] Concerns for the Meteorite Dealers, Collectors and the Scientific Community

2011-04-11 Thread Ken Sliz
Greetings to all in the Meteorite Community.  I would like to submit the 
following historical data along with my observations and opinions regarding Mr. 
Steve Arnold and the most recent revelations made during the civil trial in San 
Antonio, March 2011.  Why, you should ask do I enter this turbulent arena?  
What are my qualifications for such involvement?  The short answer is twofold:

1.  I was involved with the Brenham Meteorite Company before it was legally 
formed.  Phil Mani offered me a partnership/investor position while he and 
Steve Arnold were discussing the possibility of reworking the Brenham strewn 
field.  I have watched the project/partnership from a bird's eye view, 
observing good and bad proceed from it.

2. Unknown to many folks, I am very involved with meteorites as demonstrated in 
the financial investment made in my collection.  All specimens are complete 
slices, complete meteorites or end cuts.  The few experts that have viewed the 
collection have described it as one of the finest aesthetic collections 
around.  I can emphatically say that I am a stakeholder/shareholder in the 
meteorite world.

Recent Events:

In my opinion, the most important facts to emerge from the recent legal 
proceedings between Arnold and Mani can be found in the documents entered into 
the court record.  Anyone can access the complete documents at the Bexar County 
Courthouse, as they are in the public record.    I will refer to each document 
by exhibit number.

One of the most revealing documents concerning Arnolds M.O. is exhibit #419.  
It is an email from Arnold to Notkin on 2-19-2006.  Please note that at the 
time of writing, Arnold and his family were receiving money and benefits from 
the Brenham Meteorite Company.

Exhibit #419 Dated 2-19-2006  From Steve Arnold to Geoff Notkin

I just read a GREAT book called Get on TV  Of course we did quite well 
getting on TV without reading the book, but I think there might be some other 
ways I could get onto TV again  if we would make some efforts I would 
like to keep this between you and me for the time being.  Darryl is in the mix 
and I strongly get the feeling that he is not as interested in promoting ME as 
he is working for a high auction price on the big rock.  Of course I don't want 
to hurt the value of the big rock, but I really think there is more at stake 
for me here than just the bottom line on the one specimenI want your 
honest feedback, but keep it between you and me for the moment, ok?

Exhibit # 396 Dated 2-21-2006,  From Steve Arnold to Geoff Notkin,  Subject: 
Confidential

I understand Phil requested that you attempt to get unused footage of the CT 
show for us to use in our marketing efforts.I would caution you the 
be VERY careful in your request Darryl wanted Phil to ask you to 
cash in your chip he feels you have earned to get the footage, specifically 
the footage of him being interviewed with Becky.  Now, yes, there MIGHT be 
something in that footage that would help us sell the big rock.  There also 
might be something in there that would help Darryl with whatever he might have 
in mind that might have NOTHING to do with us selling the big 
rockAnyway, in the event that you do indeed have a chip you could 
cash in for something, possibly getting that footage, I would hate for you to 
cash that chip in for some tape, when it might better be spent by getting us 
a TV show of our own.

Exhibit #255  Dated 8-8-2009,  From Steve Arnold to Geoff Notkin

I am choosing to use this crossroads in my life as the time to reevaluate my 
priorities, and to reexamine my friendships.  We haven't even hit the stage 
where people start sucking up to us for selfish reasons...oh wait, maybe that 
email to you from Darryl the other day is the first of many of those that are 
about to come.  In the past, I think I have been too obsessed with trying to be 
nice guy and to try to make everyone happy.  Well damn it, we now have a couple 
of million people to please... And for the others:  F--- Mani.  F--- Farmer.  
F--- Stimpson.  F--- them all, (abbreviations mine) if the whole meteorite 
world wants to sit in their sand box puking on each other.  They deserve each 
other.

The King Case, Cause # 2002-08178 in Harris County Texas, 281st Judicial 
District.

(This case is filed by the estate of Sharon King, widow of the late Dr. Elbert 
King.  Dr. King was a geologist at the University of Houston who specialized in

scientific papers.)

Nicely done, Anne.

You addressed the major issues brought up in the original article without 
resorting to name-calling, back-stabbing and childish behavior in general. 
A rarity.


But then, so are you.

 Subject: [meteorite-list] meteoritehistory.info now back online
 
 My web site http://www.meteoritehistory.info is now back online, its been 
 unavailable for about 3 months, and is now with a new web hosting company.
 
 Check out the what's new page for 'recent' to the web site that is,  at 
 http://www.meteoritehistory.info/NEW.HTM
 
 Its some time since I mentioned the web site on meteoritecentral so I am 
 repeating the background information here...
 
 The web site provides over 10,000 pages of information, 1281 articles, 
 representing about 400 meteorite falls/finds and numerious reports of meteor
 
 showers and individual fireballs. The content was originally published on 3 
 CDs between 1998 and 2003, but is now freely available online and has been 
 extended as additional items and time become available.
 
 The content is 69% in English, German makes up 19%, with French 11.5% and 
 Spanish 0.5%.
 
 The original texts have been scanned, and are viewable on screen as 
 'photocopies'.  At the top and bottom of each page are options to go forward
 
 to the next page, back to the previous page,  or start at the first page. In
 
 addition the larger articles and books allow you to start at a particular
 page number, or use an index.
 
 Becuase of copyright restrictions almost all of the articles, reports and 
 books are pre 1923 (USA copyright) or 70 years after death of author (UK)
 
 Enjoy.
 
 Eric Hutton.

Anne, that's a real Lady's replique, performed with the foil, with noblesse,
putting the methods of the NYT article and some of its quotations to
shame. My respect.

Best as ever,

Thank you, thank you everybody!

Just too many emails to answer each and everyone of you individually, but
thank you anyway.
I am glad you liked my response, and thank you also for spreading the news
and the link around, I hope that every person who read the NewYork Times
article will also read my response.

Hi Anne  list  Just a quick up date on your rebuttal letter.  When I was
out in Fl doing a few of my flying shows I ran into a old flying friend
that
runs the largest world wide hang gliding  paragliding on line rag. I told
him I was out hunting meteorites in my spare time. We were there at the
Wallaby Hang gliding party where  I was demoing out our newest motorized
soaring hang glider trike

Here is short vid of our flying party

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6G_rdpp4Vqk

As I was flying home I received a e-mail from him showing me the NYT
story.
I wrote him back with my reaction that's its totally not true and that
it's
a totally legal trade here in USA  most all the rest of the world. No
black
market here in my world at all.

So After I received your letter Anne on your NYT rebuttal . I shot him
over
a e-mail with your nicely laid out response.

here is the web page for it.  So its quickly traveling world wide with my
flying brothers  sisters now likely all reading it.

So just wanted to give you a heads up it is now soaring world wide in a
funny way.

[meteorite-list] Fwd: Black-Market Trinkets From Space April 5, 2011

2011-04-11 Thread Darryl Pitt


The Letter to the Editor referred to was, of course, edited.  It was also 
written prior to the receipt of emails from Drs. Agee and Harvey in which they 
disavowed the use of their quotes.  The New York Times is my local paper and 
the publication of this article has been terribly embarrassing. 

This was the the letter I hoped they would publish

 Subject: Black-Market Trinkets From Space April 5, 2011
 
 
 To The Editor:
 
 Your article “Black-Market Trinkets From Space” offers a highly misleading 
 portrait of private meteorite hunters, characterizing them as “looters” whose 
 endeavors have had a negative impact on scientific research. On the contrary, 
 private collectors are not the bane of science, but are most often important 
 contributors to new research. Consider that as a result of the harvesting 
 done by Bedouins, Berbers and others, 32 distinct specimens of Mars and 43 
 distinct specimens of the Moon, as well as other exotic samples, have been 
 discovered in the hot deserts since the mid-1990s---all of which have 
 undergone study. Conversely, not one such specimen was recovered by 
 scientists in these regions before this time, and since then scientists have 
 recovered only four such specimens. In fact, it has been argued there is no 
 other scientific discipline where researchers have been aided as much by the 
 private sector than in the study of meteorites.
