Re: [meteorite-list] Happy Birthday Ensisheim
Hi Matthias, for me that phenomenon in Melencolia I is rather a comet. Fits also better into the symbolism of the piece. (like Tacitus, Plinius ect. as a sign of change, maybe downfall). Whack is the additional rainbow. Btw. I really doubt, that that painting by Duerer can be interpreted as a naturalistic image of the Ensisheim Fireball or that it was intended to be. http://kuerzer.de/Duererens Ensisheim was a daylight fireball, plain day at noon. That drawing, there it's dark and night. And Duerer was a master of all techniques. And the exactness and the naturalistic quality of his observations in his drawings and painitings are legendary. So if he wanted to depict the Ensisheim bolide, I think, he would have made it in a different way. Best!

I imagine that a Mojave Green's venom which is double-acting would require special treatment. I am certainly not an expert on such things. Perhaps a zoo keeper that handles snakes can answer these questions since they keep anti-venom on hand. The local hospitals here no longer carry scorpion anti-venom and tell you to tuff it out for 22 days if you are stung by a nasty one. I was told it is no longer available at any costs. When I moved, my health insurance was no good here in Nevada. It took me over a year to find new insurance that would cover me nationally, not just in a single state. I went for over a year without insurance and was worried that if something happening in field, I would not be able to afford it. I had no idea this was an issue until I visited a doctor for an emergency and found my insurance was no good here. After being stung twice by scorpions and hearing of the mighty Mojave Green snake, I felt it necessary to inquire about such things. I repeated what was told. The people here in the Southwest have strong opinions about certain things so I take a lot of it with a grain of salt and yes, sometimes the comments come from ignorance. The main point is to do everything possible to avoid getting bitten or stung by some poisonous creature because treatment may not be readily available.

While we're on the off-topic of minority bashing: I live in an area with a high concentration of Amish and Old-Order Mennonites. I don't know how many times I've heard people say: You know you have to pay higher taxes because the Amish don't have to pay taxes because it's against their religion. Yeah right, I'd convert in a minute if that was true! (It is true they don't pay Social Security taxes though, which is probably where people get this idea.)

Re: [meteorite-list] OT: Million Dollar Strong! (Was: Mojave Green Jeans)
Aside from the political overtones of his post, I think Michael's point is palpable. It's happened countless times in the past, human need transformed into greed. Draw a line and it will eventually be erased if given enough time. Everything is dynamic, including borders, fences, and arbitrary lines in the sand. Empires rise and fall over time. Time and knowledge are the deciding factors, not political affiliation or moral dogma. A video-map of all the world's empires from the beginning of time until now would look similar to diseases spreading and receding across the landscape of our planet. The world at night from space appears similar to a petri dish growing with blotches and bands of a human life which stretch for hundreds and thousands of miles. The Earth when viewed from space is simply another little spec among trillions upon trillions of specs in this vast galaxy. The universe cannot fathom us, much less us the universe. The idea that we charge money for energy which is free in the universe is laughable or sad, I can't figure out which. One day it will be free. The idea that someone should have to pay massive amounts money to save themselves or a loved one, or repair an injury, disease, or cancer, is ridiculously wrong. Since we're talking about mothers here, I'll share a personal family experience. My mother has suffered and survived 2 massive strokes and a third mild stroke in between over the past 10 years. She's had multiple heart attacks, and open heart surgery to install a stint which kept her alive, but possibly caused the second massive stroke. The second big stroke put her in the hospital for 5-6 months! While in the hospital she contracted a necrotizing bacterial infection. For those that don't know what that is, it eats flesh. This compounded the problem of the stroke, infection and kidney failure, and many other health problems she had while in the hospital. During this whole ordeal I was unable to see her but ONCE while she was in the hospital since my family is in Florida, and I live in California. We almost lost her many times, and I dreaded that phone call in the middle of the night. The guilt for not being able to be with my family during this hard time because of MONEY made me seriously resent it. The medical bill for the almost 6 month hospital stay was close to $1 Million dollars! (not sure of the exact amount) I'm thankful for the hospital saving my mothers life, multiple times during this ordeal. The hospital wrote off the expense... I'm not sure how they could absorb a $1 Million expense but they did, and my family didn't have to pay it back. We were scared they would take the house, the cars and everything we own. There's no way an average family can pay those kinds of medical bills... The point is medical care has gotten so ridiculously expensive to the point almost no one can afford it. This is backwards. We're doing it wrong. Medical care should be free and your health natural. If you're with a friend and he or she gets a scrape on the knee you'll give them a band-aid. Are you going to send them a bill later for using your band-aids, alcohol swabs, or aspirin? No, that would be silly wouldn't it...?

Re: [meteorite-list] Mojave Green Jeans - Images of a Killer Snake
One of my tenants attempted to save the life of a Mohave by using a piece of cardboard to push him off of the road. In doing so the snake bit him on the hand. After a four day stay in the hospital I went to see him . He unwrapped the bandages and it looked like someone had soaked his hand in acid. His skin was still raw and incidentally, he did nearly die. To this day his hand has scares like a burn victim. As a side note. I grew up in Arizona and have been camping since I was a boy scout. To this day he is the only person I know that has ever been bitten and it clearly was his own fault. These snake bites do happen but, are relatively rare. Ask yourself. How many people do you know that has actually been bitten? People are not there prey. They try to avoid people the same as we try to avoid them. Although I hear a certain deadly snake in Australia is actually known to attack people? Be smart. Don't stick your hands into invisible spaces and never try to rescue a snake from the roadway.

Adam, I know you're only relating what you've been informed, but something needs to be said of the nurse's outrageous ignorance. The notion that aliens don't have insurance and U.S. citizens all carry insurance has hardly been the case. A significant fraction of the citizenry of Nevada and Arizona (and not just) have not been carrying health insurance. Moreover, citizens are not dying as a result of aliens using up antivenin stocks. The high cost of antivenin has to do with profit---not aliens. It has been extensively written about that antivenin does not generate sufficient profit for drug companies so the prices get hiked up to the Moon.

She claimed that many U.S. citizens with insurance have died because they could not get access to it in time, partly because it was used on somebody else without insurance.

Re: [meteorite-list] NASA Announces Comet Encounter News Conference
Images can be deceiving. Certainly, the comet is not lit, except by sunlight. As appears to be common with comets, it has a surface coating, some sort of weathering, that results in an extremely low albedo. That isn't apparent in an image that has had its white and dark points adjusted for maximum clarity. I don't think there is any doubt that the body is very cold in its interior, and is made of some mixture of ices and stony material. The surface may well approach room temperature, which is what is driving the boiling away of ices that produces a coma.
