I've finally gotten around to watching downloads of the three hour- 
long luminary talks given at the NSS convention last summer. This is  
a series of lectures organized for the first time in 2012 by Geary  
Schindel. I recommend all six of them. Instead of spending a lot of  
time binging on The Walking Dead or some such, download them from


https://secure.caves.org/luminaries/index.shtml

In theory they are in the members only secure area on the NSS web  
site that you have to log in to from the home page at caves.org, but  
it seems that the URL above works for anybody. It only takes a couple  
of minutes each to download the MP4 files, except for Dwight Deal's,  
which takes longer. The web site claims it's ~100 MB like the rest,  
but the file is actually 487 MB. Don't try to run more than one  
download simultaneously; the NSS server does not deal well with that.


From a strictly entertainment point of view, those by Roger Brucker  
and Texan Dwight Deal are probably best, but all have a lot of  
interesting history of caving and the NSS. -- Mixon
