[meteorite-list] Notice to eBay Meteorite Sellers
Hi Folks, I have noticed a new trend with meteorite dealers on eBay. Two different dealers have done this that I know of, and there may be others. What I am referring to is bidder requirements. I tried to place a bid on two different specimens from two different dealers and both times eBay stopped me and said I could not bid because my PayPal account is not "linked" to eBay. I think eBay is a hell for sellers and I loathe the eBay boardroom. I do not want those greedy bastards having any more access to my financial information that is necessary. So I refuse to link my PayPal account to eBay. I know this is somewhat silly since both companies are intimately linked, but I do not want eBay having it's hooks any deeper into my pocketbook than necessary. I am sure there are other eBay members who feel the same. If you are a seller who has set this requirment, you are losing sales. You just lost one right now. I could have bid your items up, but I was not allowed to place a bid. It's not my loss, I will always find the specimen I want eventually, either off eBay entirely, or from another seller without those requirements. My money is just as green as anyone else's and it spends just the same. If you have this requirement set on your eBay auctions, then you are losing money. Just a heads-up. Do with it what you want. ;) Best regards, 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 https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] Mohler lecture celebrates 40 years
Hello Listers Enjoy the good read, go Nininger :) Shawn Alan IMCA 1633 ebay store http://www.ebay.com/sch/imca1633ny/m.html Website http://meteoritefalls.com Mohler lecture celebrates 40 years For 40 years, the generosity of Dr. Robert and Mrs. Fern Shoemaker Mohler has brought prominent speakers and cultural programs to McPherson College, spanning academic disciplines and representing a wide range of human experience and thinking.The first lecture in 1975 highlighted MC professor Dr. H.H. Nininger, famous for his work on meteorites and paleontology. In addition to providing information about Dr. Nininger’s lifetime of knowledge in meteorites, it also functioned as a 90th birthday party for both Dr. Nininger, the first speaker of the lecture series, and Dr. Mohler, one of the lecture’s two benefactors.Since then, speakers have included Dr. Elmer Staats, comptroller of the currency of the United States in 1982; “Roots” author Alex Haley in 1987; and Holocaust survivor Gerda Weissman Klein in 2003.Susan Taylor, a granddaughter of Dr. Mohler who helps select the speakers every year, said Haley’s lecture always stood out in her mind.“The audience was just spellbound,” she said. “It was more than an hour, but felt like a few minutes.” - See more at: http://www.mcphersonsentinel.com/article/20150227/NEWS/150229343/-1/news#sthash.UHlCe1Gv.dpuf __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
Re: [meteorite-list] Weird Bounce Notices on the List
I am glad to see that I am not alone in using ancient hardware. For me, I am just being a miser. I don't believe in scrapping something that still works perfectly well for my needs. I don't do "gaming" and I don't stream Netflix, so this old netbook gets by just fine with emails and general web browsing. I'll upgrade it when it finally dies. I am curious to see how long I can milk this netbook. I have a column of dead pixels along the far right side of the screen and some of the keys on the keyboard have stopped working. If any keys I commonly use stop working, then my hand will be forced and I will buy a new one. I got my netbook in 2008 and I am running Windows XP (SP3) Tommy, you have me beat by two years! And Linton had us all beat by a mile with his 2001 Dell desktop. Funny thing is, I had that same desktop (or close). I bought a Dell desktop back in 2001 and used it up until I bought this netbook in 2008. The desktop ran Windows Me - yuck!

I used to use their articles in my class and at teacher workshops: WWII bomber found in a lunar crater (the plane was about the size of the 100 km diameter crater) I did a teacher workshop about observing the Moon and told them that this would be their last chance to observe the Moon with their students as the Moon was predicted to blow up (nuclear waste?) in less than 6 months.
