Re: [ot_caving] RE: TexasCaver
Hi everyone- I have been caving since Friday morning. I just logged on and I read all your messages on the topic. Just to be clear, no decisions are being made regarding the Texas Caver. This is just an information gathering exercise on distribution methods and costs. I will follow up. Probably not this week though.

[ot_caving] a Malaysian cave trip
Here is a Malaysian cave trip invititation for March 16: Every 3rd Sunday of the month, we conduct a trip to Dark Caves (located at Batu Caves). You are invited to join us for this 4-hour adventure session to gain an understanding of limestone cave formation and be introduced the type of formations that can be found in the caves such as stalactites, stalagmites, columns, pillars, etc. You will also be exposed to the types of fauna that can be found in the caves such as cave cockroaches, millipedes, and bats on their contribution to the eco-system. There are approximately 2 km of passages on several levels. The main attractions of these caves are their size and formations, and their ecology. Some large passages are enough for airplanes, and others' are so tight that even crawling through poses a challenge! The caves consist of seven major sections, and we are sure you will have a good time joining us. Contact: Chee Min Er Telephone: 019-3148408 miner.c...@mnscavers.org or K.K.

[Texascavers] RE: Classroom Caving in China
Rob Tait posted: http://www.reuters.com/news/pictures/slideshow?collectionId=1291#a=1 In the caption to that photo Reuters said the cave was "carved out of a mountain over thousands of years by wind, water and seismic shifts." While seismic shifts may have contributed to making the rock more easily dissolved, the passage looks completely phreatic. There are large scallops visible in some of the shots, especially no. 5. Wind is unlikely to have played any significant role. Mark Minton

[Texascavers] LED Headlights & Flashlight Source
I was upgrading some group equipment, and found http://meritline.com/ was a good source for LED headlights and flashlights. I bought 10 each 1 watt LED flashlights (http://www.meritline.com/1-watt-bright-led-flashlight.html) Which sell for around $6 and 10 Each 1 Watt LED Head Lamps (http://www.meritline.com/1w-led-headlamp-with-adjustable-band.html) The head lamps now sell for $14, I got them on sale on the site for less than $7. Service was prompt, and they worked just fine, and shipping was free. I just looked at the sight and they now have 3 Watt Luxion flashlights for $32, and 7 Watt Luxion Flashlights for $52. They have lots of other consumer electronics on the site as well. As ever, my advice is free, and worth as much.. Rob...

[ot_caving] health food questions
I need some advice from the health food experts out there. I need to start eating healthier. Do any of you have any experience with drinking Currant Juice?It is $ 4 for 16 ounces at Kroger. Does anybody have any personal experiences with some of the things that are being put in energy drinks, like: Taurine, or Ginseng, or Ginkgo Bilboa, or guarana, etc?I don't drink them, and feel that they have too many unknown side-effects. Does everybody agree that having a small glass of red wine in the evenings is very healthy? Is grape juice just as healthy? What about taking vitamins? Does it really do any good if you are eating 3 normal meals a day? I am drinking a whole lot of High Fructose Corn Syrup. I am certain I need to stop this. But it is in so many beverages. Any suggestions? I need to kick the soft drink habit. But I haven't had any success. Any suggestions? My goal is to drink more home-brewed decaffeinated tea. Are fruit jelly's really healthy? Any other comments?
