[Texascavers] Cool Wallpaper from National Geographic-Cave Related
Sorry to interrupt the talk regarding finalizing Certificates of Deposits, mammalian cuisine, and Brown Trout (another type of deposit). I wanted to let y'all know about a photo that took my breath away when I saw it the other night in the latest issue of NGM. The description reads: Chandeliers and pillars of stone, their edges and shadows doubled in the glass-smooth surface of an underground pool, have awed visitors to the Reed Flute Cave in China's Guangxi Zhuangzu region for more than a thousand years. http://seabed.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/wallpaper2.tmpl?issue_id=200707 01week=1priority=1 It is a magnificent photo and looks excellent here on my computer screen. Enjoy and, now, for something completely different... Mark
Re: [Texascavers] USB memory sticks
I had an Iomega 128M stick fail. No errors, it just stopped being usable. The USB port could still identify it, but could not read or write or display any capacity as though unformatted - 0 bytes available, 0 bytes used. Unformatable, however. Not really a whole lot of use before failure (approx. 1 yr) -WaV On 6/26/07, Alex Sproul imoca...@comcast.net wrote: I wouldn't recommend them for archiving, though.

Re: [Texascavers] Talked out.
Walmart has a new LED flashlight that is solar-powered and can also be recharged in a regular electrical outlet. It is by Brinkman. I couldn't find it on the web, and Walmart didn't have a price on it yet. It looks like a good product for someone who goes camping in the summer time in west Texas. This is not a shake-light or a crank-light.It only has one 1 LED. I think there have been 2 other solar powered LED flashlights reported.This one seems to be more rugged than the others. It is a small flashlight about 6 inches long and the lens is a 1 1/4 in diameter. The solar panel is about 4 inches long and 3/4 wide. Comes with AC adapter for recharging at home.

[Texascavers] unreadable CDs
I wonder whether some of the CD-Rs that prove unreadable elsewhere are using a non-standard format. There are some software programs available that allow you to use a CD-R as though it were a regular disk. You can actually save from programs directly to it, delete files from it (without, however, actually recovering the space they occupied), and so on. Clearly such software does not use the standard data-CD directory format, whatever it is. Presumably such disks cannot be read unless you have matching software on the other computer. Maybe those are the disks that can be finalized, i.e., converted to one with its final directory info in standard format. The standard desktop software in common modern operating systems (e.g., the Finder on the Mac or Windows Explorer on a Windows machine) can write CD-Rs (and, I assume DVD+/-R) perfectly well all by themselves. I've never seen any advantage to programs like Nero. It might be the extra features in those programs that cause the problems. -- Mixon --- You may Reply to the address from which this message was sent, but note the following permanent addresses for long-term use: Personal: bmi...@alumni.uchicago.edu AMCS: edi...@amcs-pubs.org, sa...@amcs-pubs.org - Visit our website: http://texascavers.com To unsubscribe, e-mail: texascavers-unsubscr...@texascavers.com For additional commands, e-mail: texascavers-h...@texascavers.com

[Texascavers] RE: unreadable CDs
Bill Mixon said: I wonder whether some of the CD-Rs that prove unreadable elsewhere are using a non-standard format. Could be. I don't know what format any CDs use, although the open ones I was making were not of the interactive program type that Bill described. It could be that the open CDs are not in a standard format though, and get converted to one when finalized. Actually, what probably gets finalized is their directory, since there would be no way to change the data format after files were already recorded. I've never seen any advantage to programs like Nero. Nero gives options for different types of CD, like audio, video, data, backup, etc., although I don't know if there is any real difference in those. I like the way Nero allows me to organize the files before I burn the CD. I can add, remove, and shuffle the order at will. It also shows a bar graph of CD capacity and how far along I am toward filling it up as I manipulate files. One can also save the burn project for future use, although I have never done that. It seems unlikely such features would affect the final format, however. Mark Minton
Re: [Texascavers] RE: unreadable CDs
I havent experimented much with the options (leave open, multi-session, write-once and or other permutations) but in my own experience I've had less trouble with Write the whole disk at once and include label text and found that to be the most successful and consistent wavy to go.

Re: [Texascavers] Another LED light
There was a post about 2 years ago on Cavetex about the Pak-lite, but after reviewing the web-site, it looks like they have improved the light. http://i.b5z.net/i/u/1572720/i/3d/small/super_glow.jpg According to their web-site, the light will run continuously in low mode for 1,200 hours with a lithium 9 volt battery, and continue to produce light for another 7,460 hours. That may be a little exaggerated, the best lithium 9 volt batteries only have a capacity of 1200 mAH. That is worse than a single cheap NIMH AA battery. [ Lithium 9 volt batteries can sometimes be found where they sell fire alarms. ] And you need to find some sort of water-resistant container to protect the light and the battery. The light isn't water-proof during use. It could be duct-taped to your helmet in an emergency. You can buy a rechargeable lithium-ion battery for it: http://www.onlybatteries.com/showitem.asp?ItemID=14679.11cat1=14uid=1970 but it's capacity is a very low 400 mah, and the battery and charger are very expensive. AA and AAA NiMH's have come along way and so have some of the tiny new LED flash-lights. This may be a good emergency light in certain situations.However, in my opinion, the new Gerber LED light that uses a single AAA battery is one of the best choices for an emergency light. However, cavers are known to be creative with home-made lights, and a Pak-lite could be rigged with a homemade battery bank using high-capacity rechargeable AA batteries. see how to do this in the article below: http://www.reuk.co.uk/High-Capacity-Alternative-to-9-Volt-Battery.htm I would like to see someone build a small emergency LED light using a Lithium D size battery. http://www.all-battery.com/ProductImages/lithium/ER34615D-Tab-1.jpg That is rated a 19000 mah. That should last a long time, however, that particular battery is non-rechargeable and very expensive.

[Texascavers] RE: Self-cleaning Outhouses
More on this and anxious chickens. I hope that you have had your mid-morning snack. As a kid of about 10 (1945) my parents and I were visiting Dad's parents who owned and lived on a farm four miles outside of Kilgore. One evening when the cows came to the barnyard to be milked with their calves close by, I observed something that was hard to forget. One calf felt the need to relieve itself of the mother's milk and grass that it had eaten. As the calf began, a hen that was behind the calf cocked it's head to the side to get a better look up and then jumped up to catch the morsel before it could fall free. It's disgusting but it is what chickens (and pigs) do. We still frequent KFC without giving any thought to what the FOWL consume. This concludes the outhouse (henhouse) humor for the day (maybe).

Re: [Texascavers] RE: Self-cleaning Outhouses
OKnow I am officially grossed out.
I thought the chicken in Belize had a great free range taste.maybe it had
nothing to do with the free range.

Yikes, Makes you think twice about traveling, pooping and eating in other countries! (should that be in a different order?...oh well!)

RE: [Texascavers] RE: Self-cleaning Outhouses
From age 4 to 10, I lived west of Fort Worth, near the town of Azle. Everyone in the neighborhood had two rooms and a path. Some paths led to the woods and some to our out house. We had the best one in the neighborhood, it had a Sears N' Roebuck bottom (use to be able to get them mail order). One of our neighbors finally got creative and built a two holer. Like the outhouse in your story, it was open in the back and the fence wire to the chicken pen was fastened to the outhouse. The guy was pretty generous and everyone else was pretty poor. On occasion he'd offer a chicken fry to the neighbors but couldn't figure out why no one ever took him up on it.
