As result of my brief mention on this forum of the Texas Natural Areas Survey in the 1970’s, I have received a gratifying number of personal emails. Thank you all. An excellent overview of most of the study areas, in the form of a very nice coffee-table book is Forgotten Texas: A Wilderness Portfolio, photographs by Reagan Bradshaw, text by Griffin Smith, Jr., 1983, Texas Monthly Press. It summarizes most of the study areas quite beautifully and shows their locations on a map of Texas. That book is one of the products of the NAS that helped shape (and is still helping shape) public and legislative opinion in favor of the acquisition and preservation of some very special Texas places. That included at least one very significant karst feature: Devil’s Sinkhole.

Curiously, not all our study areas are included – Enchanted Rock is one of those omitted. At any rate, check out a copy and I think you will be impressed not only with the beauty described therein but with the scope of the NAS program.

I take credit only for managing, coordinating, and assuring logistical support for the scientific field studies that provided the technical basis for the rest. MANY others devoted countless hours and personal expense to the political and acquisition parts of the process.

I don't know, Ted.  In fact, I have no idea how many were actually sold.  They 
were handed out quite liberally to the leg and others, which was a major part 
of the idea.  Inquire of Texas Monthly.  I'm certain you can check out a copy

[Texascavers] OT - another cheap LED flashlight

2008-12-16 Thread David
CVS Pharmacy has a new flashlight worth talking about.

At only $ 9.99 plus tax, this tiny light has 21 LED's.

http://i14.ebayimg.com/04/i/001/06/6a/e54e_1.JPG

I only bought it to compare the light pattern of the 21 LED's versus
the 16 in the Walgreens model that I reported a few day's ago.

The light pattern of the 21 is slightly better, but only around the edges.

This light's main feature is its tiny size, easily fitting in a shirt-pocket
sideways.

It is not constructed as well as the Walgreen's one, but
would still probably survive a few caving trips, as long as you didn't
dunk it under water. It does have tiny o-rings, so it will keep out
some moisture.

This light could possibly mounted on the front of a helmet, although
it might look kind of weird. Still, it would be much smaller than
an old Justrite Carbide lamp mounted there.

This light seems best suited for cooking around camp.


On a related note,

Let's say it cost CVS $ .50 to ship flashlight from factory in China
to store in Fort Bend County. Then subtract CVS profit of say, $ .50,
and a cost for the machining of the aluminum body at $ 2.00, and
vendor profit of $ .50, and cost
of aluminum material, and switch at say $ 2.00.That leaves about
$ 4.50 to buy the 21 LED's and make the circuits.  I don't see how
anybody along the chain is making enough money to justify their
part in the process. And I am probably leaving off some cost like
bribes along the way.I used to work for a manufacturing
company, and this
flashlight would have cost about $ 50 to make there, if not more, plus
they didn't
have anybody that knew enough about small electronics to make the LED
piece, so that
would have to be ordered from somewhere, further adding to the cost.

Ancient cave rocks reveal impact of climate change

by _Stephanie  Hemphill_ 
(http://minnesota.publicradio.org/about/people/mpr_people_display.php?aut_id=29)
 , Minnesota Public Radio
December 15, 2008
Anyone who's ever ventured into a cave knows the  feeling -- like you're 
going back in time. Two University of Minnesota  researchers have literally 
gone 
back in time, in a cave in western China. They  came out knowing that changes 
in the global climate can bring about great  prosperity or destroy entire 
civilizations. Their study of cave rocks, thousands  of years old, might tell 
us 
something about the climate change we're  experiencing today. 
 
Minneapolis, Minn. — In a small office in an old lab on the U  of M campus, 
Hai Cheng sorts through a cardboard box full of stalagmites from  all over the 
world.  
Those are from Peru, and those dark-colored samples are from  Turkey. This 
yellow one is from Ukraine. I collected that last summer.  
Hai Cheng grew up in China, but now he's a research scientist  in the 
Department of Geology and Geophysics at the University of Minnesota.  
 
 
(http://images.publicradio.org/content/2008/12/11/20081211_haichengsample_33.jpg)
 
His stalagmites are six-inches to a foot long and just two or  three inches 
wide. They look a little like agates. They've been split in half  length-wise 
to expose wavy lines -- they're growth rings, like in a tree. Some  of them are 
almost 1,000,000 years old. These ancient rocks are nature's time  capsule, 
showing the ebb and flow of climate on the earth. 

Hai Cheng collaborates with colleagues in China, and with  Lawrence Edwards, 
who is the George and Orpha Gibson Chair of Earth Systems  Science and 
Distinguished McKnight University Professor at the University.  
They've been refining techniques to wring secrets from these  rocks. They 
measure uranium and thorium to count the years as the stalagmite  built up from 
the floor of the cave. They can tell which years were wet and  which were dry, 
based on different types of oxygen found in the rock.  
They plotted the drought years and the wet years on a graph  that parallels 
periods in Chinese history.  
If you start at around 700 A.D., basically you have  above-average in terms 
of wetness, Larry Edwards explains. And then you have  gradual falling, so 
it's gradually getting drier, and this is all within the  Tang Dynasty.  
The Tang Dynasty was a period of great power, when big armies  controlled 
trade along the Silk Road.  
 
 
(http://images.publicradio.org/content/2008/12/11/20081211_larryedwards_33.jpg) 
But in the 800's, it got very dry, and in 906, following  years of disastrous 
harvests, the Tang Dynasty fell. 

Around 1,000 A.D.the monsoons returned and there was enough  water to grow 
rice in much of the country. This was the time of the next  successful dynasty, 
the Song Dynasty.  
And it's the first time rice became the staple of the Chinese  diet. Of 
course rice cultivation requires water, says Edwards. It was kind of  a 
golden 
age in China: the population doubled.  
That was from about 1000 A.D. to 1300.  
Then, droughts returned, and twice more they coincided with the  fall of 
dynasties: the Yuan in the 1400's and the Ming around 1600.  
In China, the view is that the emperor, the dynasty, has a  mandate from 
heaven to continue on, and the dynasties end when the perception is  that 
they've 
lost that mandate, and part of the mandate is climatic conditions,  says 
Edwards.  
After all, if an emperor can't feed his people, what's he doing  on the 
throne?  
 
 (http://images.publicradio.org/content/2008/12/11/20081211_inside_3_33.jpg) 
But it's not just China that experienced these cyclical  monsoons and 
droughts. Hai Cheng and Larry Edwards came up with such an accurate  weather 
history 
that they could link it to what was happening in places as far  away as 
Mexico. 

The Mayan civilization -- also suffering a drought -- fell at  almost exactly 
the same time as the Tang Dynasty.  
So here the Mayans are, and the Tang Dynasty Chinese, and  they're fighting 
against the same natural phenomenon, says Edwards. They don't  even know 
each other.  
On opposite sides of the world, peoples' lives collapsed when  the rains 
didn't come.  
And later, at the same time as the generous monsoons during the  Song 
Dynasty, Europe and the North Atlantic were experiencing what scientists  call 
the 
Medieval Warm Period -- from about 800 to about 1300 A.D.  
 
 
(http://images.publicradio.org/content/2008/12/11/20081211_spectrometer_33.jpg) 
And so virtually at the same time of this expansion of rice  cultivation in 
China, the Vikings settled southern Greenland, and they were able  to because 
it was relatively warm. 

During the drought of the 1400's that contributed to the fall  of the Yuan 
Dynasty, Europe was experiencing the Little Ice Age, that forced the  Vikings 
out of Greenland.  
Their research shows an ancient natural pattern in the earth's

RE: [ot_caving] a cave book from 1956

2008-12-16 Thread Louise Power


Had a similar experience a few years ago.
 
In February 1937, Jim White began selling his book on Carlsbad Caverns 
(ghostwritten by Frank Ernest Nicholson) in the cave. He later set up shop in 
White City. Several old timers told me they remembered seeing him sit out on 
the porch in front of the store signing books. 
 
Back in the late 1990s when I was still living in Portland, OR, I found an 
autographed copy of this book in an antique store. I don't remember the year 
this particular copy was printed, but I think I paid a dollar for it. It's in 
pretty good condition except that apparently it was exposed to moisture at one 
time and the signature has a tiny bit of run on it. It's still crisp and clear, 
though, and you can definitely tell whose signature it is.
