I guess the summary of that in short words, is to avoid cavers using the
high-powered
blue lights.
There are dozens of new headlamps in retail stores that have not been
mentioned on CaveTex.
I was hoping somebody else would talk about them. At least 2 or 3 of them
appear to be
worthy of a good review. There are some inexpensive ones by Dorcy ( found
at Sears ),
and some in the $ 60 to $ 90 range by Coast ( found at Fry's ), and I have
seen some $ 4
headlamps at the big dollar stores, like Giant and King Dollar.
On a sort-of-related note,
I found a new bungee cord at Home Depot, called Kolossal Karabiner Bungee:
http://www.homedepot.com/catalog/productImages/300/e5/e571ec76-2085-4a30-9f63-ff14401c11e8_300.jpg
It seems more rugged or stronger than a typical bungee cord.

Aimee et. al,
If this is the same Lascaux exhibit I wandered through in Chicago's Field
Museum in June (and in spite of the advertising differences I think it is) do
not miss it! I was captivated (and I was with my family). Jacqui

All, I saw the Chicago Field Museum exhibit when I was up in July, it's pretty
amazing the way it's built, it meanders like passage and each section has a
diarama of the section yur in. Also, the photographs r a great picture of time.
Early diggers and cave specialists! See it to believe it!

It is the same exhibition, I'm sure. The Houston Museum of Natural Science will
be holding lectures and other events in conjunction with the exhibit. The
exhibit opening, sadly, is on TCR weekend. But GHG encourages y'all to come to
Houston for to see a cave for a change!

This is a reminder that the Colorado Bend State Park Project kicks off
again this weekend.
Most cavers show up Friday evening and camp out. All survey teams will be
organized and sent out of camp by 9:30 a.m. Saturday morning. Camping is
again available on Saturday evening with the possibility of more caving on
Sunday morning.
For more information check out the project info
sheet<http://www.cavetexas.org/PDF/CBSP/TSA_CBSP_project_info_sheet%202013.pdf>or
the schedule on the TSA
calendar <http://cavetexas.org/calendar/index.php>.

Well, according to the new issue, we are to celebrate our 6th annual TCR.
Wonder what happened to the other 30? Seems like the editor needs to upgrade
his proofreaders!
Also, our very own Terry Raines is no longer the printer. I would like to
publicly thank Terry for his years of service and a job well done. I personally
don't need or like all color, so that alone was not a good reason to switch
printers. Simply money. Such is how our world runs today.
In my opinion.

"Life in Submerged Caves: Aquatic Cave Biology," by Skip Kendrick
(NSS#56123)
Join us for a Webinar on October 17, 2013 9:00 – 10:00 pm EST
Space is limited.
Reserve your Webinar seat now at:
https://www4.gotomeeting.com/register/435273047
Life found in water-filled caves ranges in size from microbial mats to
larger cave visiting fish, creating delicate—and fascinating—
ecosystems. This informal webinar is designed for non-scientist cave
divers, cavers, and the layman that have an interest in underwater
caves. The talk will discuss the many different habitats found in
caves, from the entrance area to the dark zone.
Skip, a member of the NSS Cave Diving Section, will discuss animals
that have accidentally entered caves as well as highly adapted cave
life, covering topics such as how animals enter caves, how they adapt
to life in submerged caves, and how water quality is important in the
survival of these unique ecosystems. Finally, Skip will discuss what
the caving and cave diving communities can do to ensure the survival
of cave adapted species.
Skip Kendrick is an Instructor for the National Association of
Underwater Instructors (NAUI), a Life member and former Science
Chairman of the National Association for Cave Diving, and an affiliate
of the American Association of Underwater Science.

Some of the new Android phones come included with a notification sound
option called, "stalactite."
It sounds like a tiny water drop splashing in a cave, as there is a subtle
echo.
You can choose this sound for when someone sends you a text or email, or
for a date reminder, etc.
