Re: [meteorite-list] Proud Tom NOT
Dear Steve all, Since his appearance I have been eager to discover the Identity of Proud Tom. However, we are no closer to knowing Than before. I researched this latest rumor and discovered the following: To set the scene; Anne Black said she had determined Without a doubt who Proud Tom is However, this is what Steve Harvey used to call, The rest of the story: BOB EVANS: What Anne is referring to is a comment that I made on Meteorite Picture of the day on her picture recently. My comment was looks fake and I signed it proud Tom. I left the comment to ruffle Anne's feathers in response to her persistent and recent claims of calling one of my mets fake. And I signed (it) Proud Tom because I know she despises PT. And there you have it. I can get a sward and scrape a Z on a wallthat doesn't Make me Zorro. So, Proud Tom continues to allude us all, fans and despisers, Alike. Best regards, Michael On 3/31/14 6:33 AM, Met.

My wife came home at about 23:10 CEDST from playing cards with her girls and this is what she told me ... and she was very excited: I was on my way to our car when something suddenly lit up the Eastern sky. It was dazzling bright, had a greenish color, apparent diameter ca. 2 inches, color greenish, duration seveal seconds, length of luminous train (apparently 50-60 cm). She and her girls heard no sonic boom. Location: Mannheim - Rheinau (Rheinau is a place about 10 km east of Mannheim).

Re: [meteorite-list] Info Wanted
Hi All, I have been inundated with off-list emails from list Members who joined AFTER Proud Tom stopped posting. They ask me who he was, what he did, why he is on my List of Meteorite Friends listed as: Proud Tom, Meteorite Crusader Stud Muffin http://michaelbloodmeteorites.com/MeteoriteFriends08.html So, for those who haven't asked yet, here is a sample Response to said inquiries: If you only knew! Proud Tom released a series of web sites Lampooning EVERYONE. I was hit as hard as anyone, but I thought he was hysterical. My sense of humor made me believe he is a friggin comic genius - While more than a few turned into sour faces as though someone Had shoved a bitter lemon into their mouths - like some of the old, frustrated Nuns I used to have in grammar school! (Some people take themselves WAY too seriously!) BTW: Meteorite Crusader Stud Muffin. was the title he Bestowed upon himself. I just printed what he sent in. (If you aren't On the Meteorite Friends list - just send me your head shot and name - It makes it easy for all list members to see with whom they are communicating) MANY people have believed I am Proud Tom - I wish I were as clever as he. His lampoons were priceless. Best regards, Michael PS: QUESTION FOR ALL: Does anyone out there have copies of Proud Tom's old Web Sites??? It was a long time ago and way before I learned the incredibly simple Task of retrieving a web page and saving it. (on a Mac it is apple-shift-F3 and you have whatever is up on your screen as a JPG On your desktop) Now I am hoping SOMEONE did save these old posts. If so, I would be most grateful if you would email them to me (probably in JPG Format would work best).

We were harpooned by Proud Tom as well.. the Hoola Hupe's I also found 'his' posts funny and never got to a bad level when 'he' Lampooned someone. I also do not understand the hostility...

Re: [meteorite-list] Info Wanted
http://michaelbloodmeteorites.com/MeteoriteFriends08.html THIS, in a way, is much more interesting than the Proud Tom issue, and it shows how time flies, as it obviously was not renewed over a very long time span - and so is sort of a small photographic window into a distant past... Many of those collectors may now be hiding in the dark, some will, and many may have left the hobby since then. New faces now, new big boyz, new gamblers, and also new serious people in the world of meteoritics...

[meteorite-list] New paid Ad program for the mailing list - starts 4/7/2014
Good Evening; If you never advertise on the list you can disregard this email! If you do advertise please read below: Beginning Monday, April 7, 2014 I will be implementing a paid advertising program for the Meteorite Mailing List. I've been working on a program like this for quite a while now but have been struggling with the best way to do it. I think I've come up with an approach that's both simple and affordable. My goal isn't to make a lot of money, but rather to cover the costs associated with Meteorite Mailing List and the related websites. I'd also like to cut down on the total number of Ads that appear on the list on any given day, which I think is better in the long run for both advertisers and subscribers (i.e. improve the signal to noise ratio). Hopefully this new program will improve everyone's list experience. Here's how it will work -- Ads can be purchased one at a time or in bulk, and payment can be made through PayPal. The 1 Ad per week limit and the current policy regarding no image attachments will remain (see policies below). I am considering allowing images under a certain and also some type of Ad credit for relevant posts but I need to work on those ideas a bit more. Also, as the majority of members aren't dealers, but may want to sell something every now and then, everyone will be provided with 2 Ad credits (free ads) to be used during the year. Meteorite List Ad Rates - One-off Advertising cost * Per Ad price - $4 via PayPal - Bulk Advertising options (Pre-paid Ads) * 12 ads $35 - Single payment via PayPal ($2.92 per ad) * 52 ads $125 - Single payment via PayPal ($2.40 per ad) Payment won't be required before a One-off Ad is placed, but should be made within 1 day. Payment for the Bulk Ad options is expected prior to placing the first Ad. I'll be adding a page to the Meteorite Central website with payment links each option listed above. Mailing List ad-related policies - 1 Ad per week limit - Plain text emails only - No image attachments - 60k email size limit - 2 Ad credits per member (to be used during the year) - Failure to pay for Ads placed on the list will result in member removal.

[meteorite-list] Meteorite Link of the Week #2 : NASA JSC Astromaterials Acquisition Curation Office
Meteorite Link of the Week #2 - http://curator.jsc.nasa.gov/ Notes : This is the website of NASA's Johnson Space Center meteorite curation office. This is the office than handles all of the astromaterials brought into the NASA collection. This includes meteorites, Apollo lunar samples, comet particles, solar wind particles, and others. There is a searchable database that indexes the entire JSC meteorite collection which comprises (in most part) the specimens brought back by the ANSMET expeditions. Only visit this site when you have some time to kill because there is a lot of material to wade through - endless pages of data and endless photos. The photos are really nice and are worth a look just for eye candy purposes (desktop wallpapers anyone?). This link will take you to the home page of the curation office - http://curator.jsc.nasa.gov/ From there, you want to select Meteorites on the menu of options : Lunar, Meteorites, Stardust, Genesis, Cosmic Dust, Space Hardware, and Hayabusa - this will take you to the following link - http://curator.jsc.nasa.gov/antmet/index.cfm You now find yourself on the homepage of Antarctic Meteorites (ANSMET). On the left side of the screen, click the box that says Newsletter and Classification. A drop-down menu will open up and you want to click Meteorite Classification Database. Ok, here we go down the rabbit hole. You are now at this URL : http://curator.jsc.nasa.gov/antmet/classdb.cfm#AdvSearch You will want to bookmark this page and keep it handy right next to your Meteoritical Bulletin Database link. Like the Met Bull Database, the Antarctic database is searchable and browseable. You will see an advanced search form with tabs for various types of meteorites. You can search/browse by name, type, sample number, year, and other criteria. Let us use an obvious example that everyone knows - the famous Martian meteorite ALH-84001. Type ALH84001 into the Sample Number query box and click Search at the bottom of the form. You will now see the search results screen (which is similar in function to the Met Bull database search). Click on ALH-84001 in the results and you will be brought to this page - http://curator.jsc.nasa.gov/antmet/samples/petdes.cfm?sample=ALH84001 This is the available data and photos for the specimen in question. Just like the Met Bull database, some entries have more information available than others. Some have many high resolution photos each. Now, get yourself a tall cup of coffee and start searching for other types - CM2, Achondrites, Lunars, Martians, etc. You will see thousands of them that you have never heard of. And some of those are hidden aesthetic gems. Some are beautiful specimens, despite spending many centuries in a wind-swept cold desert. You will also see many photos in X-pol light. Have fun and see you next week. :) MikeG -- - Web - http://www.galactic-stone.com Facebook - http://www.facebook.com/galacticstone Twitter - http://twitter.com/galacticstone Pinterest - http://pinterest.com/galacticstone - __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] Good disc blade for meteorite cutting
Hello, I have tried some cheap chinese ebay blades but they dont cut well. Does anyone can recommend a good brand quality blade for meteorite cutting? I know that blades are not good for iron but it can be used with some success.

[meteorite-list] New paid Ad program for the mailing list - starts 4/7/2014
Hello Art and Listers Hello Art I counted about an average of 20 AD per week give or take 5. If you were to charge your $8 buck per AD that's around $700 bucks per month. Man with that amount of money you will be able to do wonders with the website :) What would be cool too is if you added a spot on your website to allow dealers to have banners to advertise their website sites and charge $15 bucks a month for a spot. On average, I see websites that do that and they have about 25 dealers advertising at any given time. That would generate about $375 a month plus the $700 from the ads from people posting on the list. But if you wanted to get more traffic to your website, cause at the end of the day that's every advertiser wants, maybe charge $5 a year to members that would like to get every email sent to them rather than the bulk format email system. That's 1700 members and lest say 1500 get every email that could generate $7500 a year. So if you didn't want to pay the $5 a year mail service fee, people would go to the website and see what is being said in real time on the site, which I used to do in the past, before the overhaul. And who knows with the website in real time, more people would go directly to the website to see what is being talked about and when you have Google have their third party advertisers advertise on your website, they will see that you have a lot more traffic. and you will be able to make more money!

Re: [meteorite-list] New paid Ad program for the mailing list - starts 4/7/2014
Hi Art, I think you've made an Ad program that most of us can live with. Personally I appreciate $2.40 per Ad (when purchasing 1 years worth) instead or the $7-$8 per Ad that we had talked about in private emails. I'll send my $125 payment via PayPal as soon as you let us know how to do so. However, I think a lot of us still wonder how you'll stop the sneaky or inadvertent Ads. Honestly, I think most people on this forum know that I don't collect meteorites so nearly every topic I'll ever bring up is in reality an advertisement. If I show fantastic green inclusions in the new NWA 8118 Lodranite - people know it's for sale. If I show a photo of a Campo Del Cielo with 7 natural holes, it's for sale. If I ever talk about any meteorite EVER, and I own itit's for sale. Maybe the relevant topic Ad credit could come into play sooner than later? I think I could post a lot of relevant topics or Ads.

If you do advertise please read below: Beginning Monday, April 7, 2014 I will be implementing a paid advertising program for the Meteorite Mailing List. I've been working on a program like this for quite a while now but have been struggling with the best way to do it. I think I've come up with an approach that's both simple and affordable. My goal isn't to make a lot of money, but rather to cover the costs associated with Meteorite Mailing List and the related websites. I'd also like to cut down on the total number of Ads that appear on the list on any given day, which I think is better in the long run for both advertisers and subscribers (i.e. improve the signal to noise ratio). Hopefully this new program will improve everyone's list experience. Here's how it will work -- Ads can be purchased one at a time or in bulk, and payment can be made through PayPal. The 1 Ad per week limit and the current policy regarding no image attachments will remain (see policies below). I am considering allowing images under a certain and also some type of Ad credit for relevant posts but I need to work on those ideas a bit more. Also, as the majority of members aren't dealers, but may want to sell something every now and then, everyone will be provided with 2 Ad credits (free ads) to be used during the year. Meteorite List Ad Rates - One-off Advertising cost * Per Ad price - $4 via PayPal - Bulk Advertising options (Pre-paid Ads) * 12 ads $35 - Single payment via PayPal ($2.92 per ad) * 52 ads $125 - Single payment via PayPal ($2.40 per ad) Payment won't be required before a One-off Ad is placed, but should be made within 1 day. Payment for the Bulk Ad options is expected prior to placing the first Ad. I'll be adding a page to the Meteorite Central website with payment links each option listed above. Mailing List ad-related policies - 1 Ad per week limit - Plain text emails only - No image attachments - 60k email size limit - 2 Ad credits per member (to be used during the year) - Failure to pay for Ads placed on the list will result in member removal. Please feel free to send me an off-list email if you have any comments, suggestions, or questions.

Ruben and Lister You do bring up a good point Ruben. That is a grey area and I have seen a few members do it and say look at this new meteorite I have and when you go to there website they have items listed for sale of that new fall or meteorite. Also, I have seen members say well if you want to see a good sample of this meteorite you can look at my website and they give a link to there website which is a dealer website in meteorite posts. To me that seems like advertising. I have also seen when people are talking about thin sections and some people say, hey if you want to see some good sample go to my dealer website. I see that happen a lot and think if ads are going to be charged on here, that also should be constituted as an AD? What about Trades? is that an AD or wanted post and someone posts their website? One other point I like to ask, you say less AD will be better for dealers and list members? Well I didn't know the AD on here were a big problem. I thought the arguing and the nonsensical topics was disrupting the website. Also $8 an AD to the main deals is nothing, but for the ones that struggle with money wont be able to pay that and post an AD. I guess it will be better for some dealers, because there will be less competition advertising on here.
