Harriers sign seventh recruit
Nate Gonzales joins Cross Country team
Incoming freshman hails from Dilley, Texas
WAXAHACHIE, Texas -- The trailblazing first season for the men's cross country team at Southwestern Assemblies of God University saw the Lions sign their seventh team member on Sunday, July 14.
Head Coach Jason Covarrubias has announced the acquisition of student-athlete runner Nathaniel Gonzales. The graduate of Dilley High School signed his National Letter of Intent to enroll at SAGU and to join the first-year cross country team.
While running for Head Coach Victor Flores and the Dilley Wolves, he earned All-District Honorable Mention as well as the MVP award for DHS. He also garnered selection as an All-Tournament performer.
Highlights of Gonzales' prep career included a second place finish in his Class 2A district mile while qualifying for regionals during all four years at Dilley. In his junior and senior seasons he advanced to qualify for the state meet.
The 5-foot-5 Gonzales also ran track. His success comprised qualification in the regional while running the two mile while also staking his claim to the district title in the pole vault.
His best times were a 4:48 mile, a 10:50 two-mile and a 16:56 in the 5K.
"We are excited about the addition of Nate to our young men's team," Coach Covarrubias said. "It is getting late in the recruiting game, so it is rare to find a talent still available."
"On his way to sign with a college (west of Fort Worth) who had offered him a scholarship," Covarrubias said, retelling the story. "As he neared the campus he felt in his heart that it wasn't where God wanted him to be."
"He left and then pursued his first college of choice, SAGU, after he found out that we had begun a cross country team!"
He now becomes the seventh male member of the Lion harriers.
Dilley is a town of 3,674 that is 72 miles southwest of San Antonio. That is home to Gonzales and his family; parents Johnny and Andrea Gonzales. Nathan is the second of their four children; Justin (20), Bryan (15) and Amaris (11).
Gonzales, who was born in Carson, Colorado, is active in his home church. He participated in his youth group's mission trip to New York City, serving with Operation Exodus.
The SAGU cross country teams (men and women) start their pre-season camp in August. Their first meet is on Saturday, September 7, in Abilene, Texas. McMurry University hosts the Bill Libby Invitational at Nelson Park.
The teams are slated to compete in three additional meets on Sept. 21, October 12 and 26. They will then battle in the Sooner Athletic Conference meet on November 9 in Shawnee, Oklahoma.

Having all the tools you need at your fingertips makes things easier when multiple rods bend at the same time. We all have our own system for organizing pliers, line cutters, hook removers, BogaGrips, scales, knives, gloves, safety strobe signal lights, etc. But when fishing gets busy, it seems like I can never remember where I laid a particular tool, or it winds up at the other end of the boat when I need it.
So I came up with a simple way to solve this problem. By placing some 3-inch-diameter, 8-inch-long PVC tubes inside an inexpensive canvas tote bag, all my tools stand upright and remain well organized. I can easily grab the bag to move it, use the tools and replace them.

Symphonies of Iowa June 17 and 18, 2012
Orchestra Iowa's 2011-2012 season concludes with a program featuring the music of Dvořák, Bartok and Shostakovich. Dvořák's Slavic Dance No. 8 is from a series of pieces inspired by Brahms' Hungarian Dances. Bartok's Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta is truly a piece that is meant to be heard live, as the strings are divided into two groups and placed antiphonally on opposite sides of the stage. Following a series of works denounced by the Communist Party, Shostakovich delivered a rousing symphony that not only pleased critics, but audiences too. What on the surface seemed to celebrate Stalin's regime may have in fact contained hidden messages protesting the very system it seemed to support.

[Allan Campbell: see Journals, Newsletters, Media.]
Founded 1908
Working for planned change in English spelling for the benefit of learners and users everywhere
simpl speling November 1997 part 1.
Editor: Allan Campbell.
A new name.This is the first issue of the Simplified Spelling Society Newsletter to appear as Simpl Speling. Proposed by the editor, the name was adopted by the committee at its April meeting. Background and comment: see editorial.
Publish - and be damned ...In spite of peer criticism, a Society member will use a small range of improved spellings in his publication.
Ted Relton, of Ilford, England, has decided to use the forms alinement, altho, congestion, gage, program, strait, and thru throughout part of the World Gazetteer of Tram, Trolleybus, and Rapid Transit Systems, which covers North America. Most crop up frequently in a transport context.
I am firmly of the opinion that the way to get improved spellings adopted is to use them in publications," he says. "They should therefore appear in dictionaries in due course, because dictionaries record usage; they do not attempt to be arbiters of spelling."
He has had adverse reactions member from an expert reader in Chicago, and from the former editor of Trolleybus Magazine. He sought the advice of Chris Upward, the Society's editor-in-chief and literature secretary, and as a result has decided to stand his ground.
On rereading part 3 - Europe - he has found he used thru consistently in that issue, with no adverse comment.
"I therefore feel justified in using "the limited reforms. I think as long as I am consistent, I obviate the charge of 'poor spelling'; a 'poor speller' is likely to have different forms in different places," he comments.
... or simply praise the Lord.
Joe Little, American Literacy Council, USA.The forms, thru, thruout, and tho are now being used in the weekly bulletins of a big New York City church. The bulletins include various well-known Christian worship songs, such as Just a Closer Walk with Thee.
I used to sing along and grumble when I came to through, etc. Finally I spoke to the worship director. Tho I had known him for years, something told me he needed more than a face-to-face proposal. So I demonstrated ALC's new Sound-Spell literacy software and then moved to our one-page Close Look at the Variations of English Spelling.
I took the scenic route in my quest. I asked about the logistics of bulletins, printed lyric sheets, and music. Once he saw I was interested in his know-how, I repeated some of the words or themes he had used to segue into my proposal, which was to consider a very short list of simpler spellings within the hymn portion of the bulletin because each 1) matches the word's sound; 2) is listed in dictionaries; 3) is conservative so as not to distract; 4) saves line space.
When he could get a word in, he offered a fifth reason: Shorter spelling helps match note width to word width.
He agreed to go along without announcing the change or my involvement. And I call him when a hymn slips thru without the simpler spelling.
He would also likely favor other spellings I recommend. The best ones with dictionary cache I can think of are nite and tonite. But I'll bide my time.
Can other Simpl Speling readers match this in their church or synagog? I hope to hear from them. It's doable!
[Joe Little: see Journal, Newsletters, Web links.]
This 'n' that from here 'n' there.
Phonological awareness important.Evening Standard, Palmerston North, NZ.
No one expects a teenager to know how to drive a car with-out a step-by-step learning program, and the same should be true of the approach to reading, says Professor Robert Calfee, of Stanford University.
His lecture to a Reading on Track reading conference in New Zealand was based on his findings in the Read Plus research.
He said phonological awareness was an important role of learning English spelling, as the English phonic was a real mess unless U know how to carve it up".
He said some children did not have the 'foggiest idea' what the teacher was talking about when asked to match letters to sounds, because they had not been taught. When asked during an exercise what they were doing, some children didn't know. They said they were doing it because the teacher had told them to.
Professor Calfee said spelling was a recent invention, and the best way to advance children was to have teachers available to "help children understand this technology".
Bilingual kids see relationship sooner.Washington Post.
Bilingual preschool children understand the relationship between writing and words earlier than children who know only one language, a study published in the journal Developmental Psychology reports. This difference may help bilingual children learn to read more easily.
The study of 137 4- and 5-year-olds compared the performance of bilingual children (French-English or Chinese-English) with that of monolingual children (English only) on tests evaluating their grasp of the relationship between written letters or characters and words.
Cornell's plan a Sunday feature.An article, Spelling for dummies, on member Cornell Kimball's plan for improved spellings appeared in July in the San Jose Mercury News (California) Sunday magazine. It was partly tongue-in-cheek, but publicized the absurdities of spelling.
His plan was reported as persuading newspapers to adopt better spelling forms.
The article noted misspellings such as Lanscaping on a Caltrans (California highway department) sign (Cornell works for Caltrans, but disclaims responsibility!).
In August a follow-up article, Misspelling Bee, was published. Later, a series of letters appeared: A reading program volunteer related the difficulties he encountered explaining exceptions to spelling rules, and now understood why people gave up trying to learn English. Another writer facetiously asked which dialect would spelling be standardized on.
Cornell also had a letter published correcting the original report, which erred in indicating he was advocating phonetic spelling.
[Cornell Kimball: see Journals, Newsletters.]
Wagging the dog.Bruce Beach, World Language Program, Canada.
ANJEL Tug (Angel Tongue) is a language/spelling system with a difference: It targets non-English speakers.
It is used as part of the World Language Program (WLP) which aims to teach the language in 18 days, using captioned video, workbooks, teacher's manuals, and eventually such aids as a captioned simplified English animation series and comic books.
The WLP was developed by the Unkommon (Universal Kommunications por la Monde) Foundation (a Canadian federally incorporated nonprofit organization) in response to worldwide interest in English. The WLP is a project of the IAEWP (International Association of Educators for World Peace), an NGO to the UN and Unesco. The WLP has chancellors in over 30 countries. It hopes to train and send out 1000 volunteer teachers from its base in North America, and eventually to establish interact procedures, along with schools and classes thruout the world.
ANJEL Tug is named from the biblical concept of humanity once speaking a single language in common with the angels, until confused at Babel. It is phonemically based. So that there will be a unique symbol for each sound, it assigns separate sounds to both the upper and lower case letters used in TO.
WLP uses the Access (Auxiliary Closed Captioned English with Simplified Spelling) system along with its pedagogical principles to teach ANJEL Tug in 18 days. Access involves closed captioned entertainment video which provides motivation for learners to continue to improve their ability to hear English and increase their vocabulary.
ANJEL Tug is promoted as an intermediate teaching language (ITL) for teaching EFL (English as a foreign language). An ITL makes simplifications in the target language to make it easier to learn. ANJEL Tug simplifies English spelling, syntax, and vocabulary.
The billions who might be inclined to learn English could do so more easily thru this ITL. If this should occur they could be wagging the dog of the mere millions of native English speakers.

[Robert Craig: see Journals, Newsletters.]
What one member has been doing - and observing.
Long service has seen many proposals.
Robert Craig.I first became acquainted with the SSS and Nue Speling in 1948 when language reform was being applied to Irish and Dutch. It then took me many years to rediscover it, mainly because it never occurred to me, or anyone else, to seek the 'Spelling Reform Society' under the heading 'Simplified'.
It was not till the early 1960s that I eventually found it again. The membership consisted largely of enthusiastic, committed people who had given many years to the cause. Predominantly they were elderly school teachers, whose sole object appeared to be to lessen the problems of infant school children. They seemed to regard Nue Speling as the whole answer, perhaps needing a little tweaking to make it generally acceptable.
This culminated in the World English Spelling of the 1970s. Apart from the school teachers, there were a number of people with their own schemes which were in conflict. A valiant few predominantly elderly people kept the flag flying, producing a mimeographed newsletter, The Pioneer, until that eventually petered out. By the 1980s things were at a low ebb with a dedicated core membership soldiering on (altho there had been a successful international conference).
It was then that things began to turn around, largely I think because of the dynamic presence of Chris Upward. I attended the AGM in 1984 where I supported motions in favor of a revision of Nue Speling proposed by Larry Fennelly and in favor of adopting Stanley Gibbs' 'Big Five' stage 1 reform. While I was not a supporter of NS, and had reservations about the 'Big Five', I felt it was better to do something than to do nothing, preferring praxis to theory. The revised version of NS was produced as NS90, which effectively killed it off. Altho the 'Big Five' was the official policy for many years, it failed to thrive.
Shift of emphasis.It was as a way to overcome the subjectivity of the 'Big Five' that Chris Upward developed Cut Spelling. This gave rise to strong opposition from the old teaching faction, because it shifted the emphasis from speech to the existing written language, and from children's needs to adult convenience.
The next important event was when Bob Brown took over as secretary, bringing professional organizing skills to the task, and a certain flair. His deth was a great loss. He shifted the Society's thrust from promoting an agreed scheme to establishing the principle of reform among the public and opinion formers.
My own views developed following correspondence with the editor of the Bristol Evening Post, who brought to my attention the need for a house style, and the preference for narrow letters - i and u to e, y, and w - by the press (cf, gipsy, dispatch vs gypsy, despatch). I feel that rather than pressing for our own particular systems we should co-operate to promote those changes which have majority support. I also think that we should have an official house style so that we can show the public that our proposals work in practise (there should be a house-style subcommittee).
In the last couple of years I have cooperated with Antony Alexander in writing Lango. It is our contention that if it has not proved possible to reform traditional English spelling then the answer is a parallel geolect which, while being mutually intelligible with English, would influence traditional English in all its aspects, including spelling.
We need to find open doors and press on them - 'American' spelling, shorter words, international forms; eg, I conducted a one-person campaign for jail in newspapers. I have also campaigned for the 'American' spellings, and had some favorable response - from public people in Ireland until they became aware of my connection with the Society. I put my name on the Avon Register of Societies as the county representative of the Society. This is distributed to local libraries thruout the county.
Why is abbreviation such a long word? And long such a short one?

American Ship Hull numbers
|This article includes a list of references, but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations. (June 2013)
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (June 2013)
Hull number is a serial identification number given to a boat or ship. For the military, a lower number implies an older vessel. For civilian use, the HIN is used to trace the boat's history. The precise usage varies by country and type.
Civilian use[edit]
For civilian craft manufactured in the United States, the hull number is given to the vessel when it is built and forms part of the hull identification number, which uniquely identifies the vessel and must be permanently affixed to the hull in at least two places. A Hull Identification Number (HIN) is a unique set of 12 characters, similar to the Vehicle Identification Number which is found on automobiles. In 1972, The U.S. Coast Guard was asked to create a standardized format for HIN's to allow for better tracking of accidents and history of boats. This HIN format is as follows: The first three characters consist of the Manufacturers Index Code (MIC)[1] and should only be letters. The following five characters are the unique serial number assigned by the Manufacturer, and can be a series of letters and/or numbers with the exception of the letters O, I, and Q (they can be easily mistaken). The last four characters determine the model and certification year of the boat. [2] The HIN may be found on the aft of the vessel in the uppermost right corner. Also, the HIN may be stated on the title, registration, and insurance documents.
United States military[edit]
The United States Navy, United States Coast Guard, and United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration employ hull numbers in conjunction with a hull classification symbol to uniquely identify vessels and to aid identification. A particular combination of hull classification and hull number is never reused and therefore provides a means to uniquely identify a particular ship. For example, there have been at least eight vessels named USS Enterprise, but CV-6 uniquely identifies the World War II aircraft carrier from all others. For convenience, the combined designation, which is painted on the sides of the hulls, is frequently called the "hull number".
The U.S. Navy sometimes ignores the sequence of hull numbering. For example, the Navy built the last Los Angeles-class nuclear submarine as SSN-773. Next the Navy built the three Seawolf class submarines SSN-21 through SSN-23. Then the Navy later resumed the original sequence of hull numbers with the USS Virginia SSN-774 for its next class of nuclear attack submarines.
This change in numbering was done because the Seawolf class was to have a radical new and large design for the continuation of the Cold War into the 21st Century, but cost overruns combined with the end of the Cold War, and the resulting reduction of the Navy's construction budget resulted in only three of these boats being constructed: the USS Seawolf (SSN-21), the USS Connecticut (SSN-22), and USS Jimmy Carter (SSN-23).
Also, whenever warships are constructed in American shipyards for foreign navies, any hull numbers used to identify the ships during their construction are never reused by the U.S. Navy. For example the Perth class guided missile destroyers that were built for the Royal Australian Navy in Bay City, Michigan were given the hull numbers DDG-25, DDG-26, and DDG-27; but these hull numbers were not assigned to any American destroyers after the Australian Navy had changed those to its own identification numbers.[3]
Several other new warships have been constructed in American shipyards for countries such as West Germany and Taiwan. Guided-missile frigates were constructed in Portugal under military-assistance aid packages were given the hull numbers DEG 7 through 11.
When a naval vessel is modified for use as a different type of ship, it is often assigned a new hull number along with its new classification. Often the actual number remains the same while the hull classification changes. For example, a heavy cruiser (CA) that was converted into a guided missile cruiser became a CG and its number was changed. This happened with the USS Albany (CA-123), the USS Chicago (CA-136), and the USS Columbus (CA-74), which became, respectively, the CG-10, the CG-11, and the CG-12.
Also, during World War II, nine Cleveland-class light cruisers (CL) were converted to light aircraft carriers (CVL), with different numbers.
During the 1970s, the guided missile frigates that were then redesignated as guided missile cruisers had their designations changed from "DLG" to "CG"; in this case, they kept their previous numbers. Some other guided-missile frigates were redesignated as guided-missile destroyers (DDG) and given new numbers.
Hull numbers have been used to identify armored tanks for the U.S. Army and the U.S. Marine Corps, and other military services, also.

Backpacker Magazine – November 2012
Use nature's signs to orient yourself, pick your path through varied terrain, and predict the weather.
There is definitely not more vegetation on south facing slopes in the northern hemisphere, there is less! North facing slopes receive less sunlight allowing them to retain more moisture, resulting in more lush vegetation, earth sciences 101, how did they mess that up?!
This is Great information anyone can use in the Outdoors, Short and sweet.
Great navigation tips Backpacker! The ability to know your way and know where you are is something we all need in any survival situation not just while hiking. Stay found by using a compass and paying attention to your surroundings. A compass doesn't need a signal or batteries and works in all types of weather but you need to know how to use it and "Felix the Sugar Glider Be Safe Hike Smart" (Amazon) makes learning how to use a compass easy. Orient yourself day or night by using a compass, a compass and a map, a map and no compass, no compass and no map. This book is for all ages. It's only about 34 pages and illustrated.
Great article for a brief skills summary. Perhaps a more lengthy article should be in consideration.
Minor point here, but the Polaris graphic can be misleading. Unfortunately, many people have the misconception that the North Star (Polaris) is brighter than other stars - but it's not. It is strictly unique because of it's convenient location above Earths axis. So when you are looking for Polaris PLEASE BE AWARE that it is not especially bright!

UFC Fight Night 33 delivered plenty of "fun" fights and great moments of violence, and it was capped off with a terrific, pulsating main event between Mark Hunt and Bigfoot Silva. If you were to tell me beforehand that Bigfoot/Hunt was going to go the full 5 rounds, I'd have cringed and braced for the worst. Instead, rounds 4 and 5 provided us with high-end drama that we've seldom seen in UFC heavyweight fights whether there's a title on the line or not.
Tim Burke is at World Series of Fighting 7 in Vancouver tonight (which Bloody Elbow will have full coverage of), so I'll be guiding you through this edition of fights to make for last night's main card fighters.
Please note that I'm leaving Julie Kedzie off this list as she announced her retirement, so it's pointless to include her in this piece.
Mark Hunt. You can't understate what Mark Hunt has accomplished over the past few years. He went from losing to Sean McCorkle (badly) to taking the #4 heavyweight in the world to a majority draw. Hunt stuffed all of Bigfoot's takedowns and scored a couple of his own. It's not often you see a 39-year-old improve his game this late in his career, but he's clearly done just that and you have to admire it. Unfortunately for him, he lost in decisive fashion against Junior dos Santos and would be eaten up by Cain Velasquez without too much of a struggle, so "UFC champion" Hunt isn't going to happen. But for the time being he's a viable asset in a weak division, and while I'm sure some fans are screaming "rematch!" after that instant classic, I don't think it's immediately necessary after the brutal beatings they incurred on each other. However, a fight with the winner of Gabriel Gonzaga/Stipe Miocic would be worthwhile, particularly for Miocic who is trying to climb up the ranks of the division.
Antonio Silva. For the first two rounds, Bigfoot looked outstanding both offensively and defensively. He peppered Hunt's lead leg with hard kicks, and did a great job of avoiding Hunt's lunging attacks and maintaining distance. Yes, he was completely destroyed by Cain Velasquez twice and Daniel Cormier, but he's clearly one of the best and toughest heavyweights in the world. The tough part for Bigfoot is that, as mentioned before, he's lost to the champion twice and in non-competitive fashion. There's no justification for a 3rd match, so he better hope Fabricio Werdum can upset Velasquez to have a chance at the title again. So what does that mean for him? I think he either gets Junior dos Santos or Josh Barnett (only if he loses to Travis Browne).
Mauricio Rua. I was dead wrong about Shogun being finished to the point where he couldn't beat James Te Huna. He wiped Te Huna out and became the first man to KO him. Removing all context of the quality of opponents he's faced in the past, I'd say that's the best finish of his UFC career. But let's get serious about Shogun as a contender at 205 lbs - those days are over. He's lost too many fights against top 10 opposition since 2011 for him to be "in the mix". I'd be content with him fighting fringe top 10 guys because that's clearly the level of opposition he's capable of leveling. But since those guys are all booked up, I think he'll headline a Fox Sports 1 card against Rich Franklin (at 205 lbs) as part of Franklin's retirement fight. It's both winnable for Shogun and a good name for Franklin to add to his list of opponents as he closes out his career.
James Te Huna. Ouch. That's the 3rd time in the last 4 fights he's either been knocked down or knocked out, and he left himself wide open for Shogun to snipe him. Light heavyweight is badly lacking depth right now, so options for him are thin. Best available (and favorable) match-up to me is Cody Donovan.
Ryan Bader. Well he didn't KO Perosh like many predicted, but he definitely gave Perosh one hell of a beating. That fight should've been stopped in the 3rd and I can't believe that two judges found no 10-8s to be had in this one. Bader is probably going to jump back into the top 10 because a few LHWs are dropping to middleweight. Phil Davis has not been mentioned for any potential fight recently, so why not do Davis/Bader?
Anthony Perosh. By the time he's healed up from that thrashing I think he'll be ready to face Robert Drysdale (provided he can get licensed and doesn't get caught with elevated testosterone levels again).
Soa Palelei. He's 2-0 in his UFC return and he was just way better than Barry on the ground. I think he'll get paired up with Brendan Schaub on an FS1 card.
Pat Barry. I like Pat Barry. He's an entertaining fighter with a great story, but he's not progressed enough as a mixed martial artist. Palelei steamrolled him on the ground and he's been (T)KO'd 4 times in 2 years. Barry has been in the UFC for 5 years and has never won consecutive bouts, so it might be time to part ways. Alas, if he does get another shot, put him up against Brandon Vera in an absolute "loser gets cut" scenario.
Dylan Andrews. Definitely a heartbreaking way to lose if you're Andrews. It was a likely 19-19 fight heading into round 3 before his shoulder injury resulted in a TKO loss. I see him as a good action fighter and for that reason alone I think (depending on the severity of the injury) he'll start 2014 with a bout against Chris Camozzi.
Clint Hester. Hester is definitely "raw" and needs some heavy work on his ground game, so I don't think he'll get a step up in competition any time soon. I believe he's best served fighting someone like Thiago Perpetuo.
Bethe Correia. Good for her to remain undefeated and win her UFC debut on short notice. With the women's roster filling up nicely the options open up a bit. For now, I think she'll take on TUF 18's Jessamyn Duke.

HERE'S MY REVIEW and a follow-up to an earlier Trailspace.com…
Design: top loading internal
Size: 6400 cubic inches
Number of Pockets: 4
Max. Load Carried: 80 pounds
Height of Owner: 5'11"
Price Paid: $540
HERE'S MY REVIEW and a follow-up to an earlier Trailspace.com review. Okay, I've used this pack every month for the last 3 years on trips between 10 to 15 days, the longest being 23 days in the mountains of NC and TN. It has been soaked and frozen and beaten and jerked and nothing seems to kill it, and will haul 80lbs without sagging and when the trip's almost over and it's down to 40lbs, it'll seem like a daypack filled with a sandwich and a pair of Crocs. In fact, the pack is sitting right next to me in my tent vestibule as I'm in my 7th day of another 15 day trip in the Citico wilderness of TN.
- Carries 60-80 lbs without sagging (sagging is common with most heavily loaded packs), and makes the weight "feel lighter".
- Torso adjustment is easy and allows a big backpack for a small body as the pack can be ordered with small to large shoulder yokes and hipbelts. This is important if you need a large pack with a small hipbelt as I do.
- Stitching, straps, fabric, zippers and buckles are all battle tested and bombproof. The only wear I have is on the lower shoulder strap webbing getting frayed from passing thru the buckle so many times. (Update: And I found a worn spot on the bottom of the left support stave where the cordura is worn thru and the white plastic support rod is showing thru--minor wear point).
- The hipbelt padding and support is fantastic and way beyond anything else out there. It means, in one word, comfort.
- The top lid becomes a daypack with shoulder straps and dispenses with the irksome feature of having to use the hipbelt like on the old Terraplanes.
- The top lid can be "lifted" to accommodate truly massive loads and stuff placed under the lid like an extra food bag or tent.
- The two back zip pockets are roomy and will hold tent poles, stove, two 22oz fuel bottles with room left over for apples, cheese and a half liter of water.
- There are four beefy side straps on the pack, two on each side, which will hold a vertical tent or Thermarest or let you dangle your crocs.
- The back bottom straps by the sleeping bag can hold either a tent or a pad.
- This pack leaks like a sieve in the rain and even with a pack cover in a hard rain I had a cup of water at the bottom of my sleeping bag compartment, and the top lid always lets in water thru the fabric.
- The back outside vertical zipper replaces the old Terraplane daisy chain and it is never used and is dead weight.
- The water bottle holders have a midlevel seam which always snags my Sigg water bottles when I try to shove them in.
- The whole bottom sleeping bag compartment can be done away with, the zipper, the buckles, the inside divider and it's buckles and straps, and the inside compression strap. It's easier and quicker to just push in your stuffed sleeping bag down from the top. I cut out most of the stuff in the bottom but I didn't remove the heavyweight zipper. Taking it and the back vertical zipper out would save some weight.
The first thing I noticed with this pack is its huge main bag volume when compared to the Dana Designs Terraplane. Another thing is its beefier internal frame system, the Terraplane almost seems like a light daypack when compared to the G6000. One other big difference is the pack material as the 6000 has a very substantial Cordura feel while the Terraplane (LTW)is lighter and thinner.
The 6000 also seems to have a different waterproof coating than the standard urethane of the Terraplane, a crinkly kind of material especially on the sides of the big pack, but both packs share similarities: dual Nalgene bottle holders, the same placement of the sleeping bag compartment (though the 6000's opening is novel and different), the usual lash straps on the bottom(where I put my tent), the twin back pockets(with the 6000 being much bigger and having a slightly different zipper angle), the same lid tiedown buckles (with a subtle difference: the Terraplane's straps end higher up on the bottom of the pack while the 6000's go all the way down to the bottom. This is important as the pack gets smaller during a trip allowing the lid to be cinched down tight even when near empty).
Other than the framing, the two packs are radically different. The 6's lid is very easy to remove and so when I get to camp I just unbuckle the bivalve unit (2 separate compartments) and throw it into the tent since the lid contains all the stuff I need for the night, my ditty bags, journal, paper towels, hair brush, radio, camera, etc. Plus the lid has two shoulder straps tucked away for quick transformation to a day pack (without the nuisance of adding a hipbelt like on the Terraplane).
The design of the bivalve lid allows a fully loaded pack to be closed fully with the lid properly hanging over and buckling down. Another feature is the pack body zipper that runs vertically between the two back pockets. I haven't used this yet and I don't think I'll need it and I miss the Terraplane's daisy chain but there will probably come a day when I'll need to get into the guts of the pack quickly and so the logical placement of this heavyweight zipper.
The adjustable harness system is totally different than the Terraplane and allows one big pack to be sold to someone no matter their torso size (with a man's pack and a woman's pack available). The shoulder yoke is velcroed in and is easily adjusted using a clever plastic support brace. It sounds complicated but it really isn't. Once the yoke is positioned correctly around and about the shoulders and neck, the pack rides very well and with a huge amount of support as compared to the Terraplane.
With the Terraplane carrying 75 pounds it maxes out the capacity and load bearing heft of the pack, but stick such a weight in the 6000 and you'll notice a big difference between the packs. The G6000 arranges such a heavy load and commands it, lifting and maintaining it without complaint and without the sagging so common with the Terraplane. 75 to 80 pounds does feel like 45 to 50, it's not some gimmicky business rant but a real life attribute of this pack.
I'll leave a description of why this happens to the pack experts out there, suffice it to say this pack can handle as much as you can carry without complaint, therefore for those looking for a hauler for long term 2-3 week trips this is the pack for you.
Update: April 28, 2010
This pack when placed upright on the ground fully loaded never seems to stay up and always falls over!! After a hundred times you start to get steamed and by angrily jerking it up with the load lifter strap a million times I can start to hear the strap ripping in the seam. I don't think the little lift strap was made to pick up or drag around a 80-90lb pack.
I've used this pack more than most people and it's the best pack in the world even though I call it the Titan Silverback or the Gray Refrigerator or the Pentagon Filing Cabinet. If you want to stay out in the middle of winter for a 21 day trip without resupply, and you've gotta haul 40lbs of food and a 4 season tent and bag and a goose down parka and don't mind carrying 80lbs on your back cuz you know it's the price of freedom, then this pack is for you.
If you're 25 and like it, get two or three more of them cuz in 20 years you might still be out backpacking but they could be discontinued. I won't live long enough to wear mine out. END OF REVIEW
UPDATE December 2013---IT'S ALMOST 2014
Okay boys, since my last update I have put around 500 more days of humpage on this pack and it is still going strong with few complaints and no blowouts even though I routinely carry 80 to 85 lb loads. I did send it in to Mystery Ranch for a slight repair on the shoulder straps and they replaced all the webbing with cordura for longevity and replaced the shoulder yoke to fix a minor break in the plastic sheathing inside the left shoulder strap cushioning.
I also broke a prong off a plastic buckle on the back bottom where I strap my red tent sack but it was easily replaced. I probably broke it when it was on the ground and I stepped on it. The very bottom of the pack scrapes across the ground at times and I have worn two small holes in the fabric exposing two white frame rods but so far I am able to cover these holes with ripstop repair patches on a monthly basis as they peel off.
After 7 years of hard use no seam has separated and no zipper has broke---knock on wood. Oh wait, the back panel velcro sewn onto the pack body behind the shoulder yoke which keeps the yoke from sliding out came apart but with a needle and some floss I was able to fix it in the field.
I may need to get a new pack someday but if I do it will be another G6000. I will include a few interesting pics of the pack in action over the last couple years.

These are first impressions, as I have only taken…
Design: top loading internal
Size: 6000 cubic inches
Number of Pockets: 4
Max. Load Carried: 65-70 pounds
Height of Owner: 5 foot 10
Price Paid: $525
These are first impressions, as I have only taken this on a few hikes. I will give it a year or two then update.
So far, I have taken a few hikes with a pack weight of fifty pounds. My frame of reference for large backpacks is an old external frame pack and a North Face internal frame expedition pack made in the late 1980s. I shopped and tried on the Gregory Denali, Osprey Crescent 110, Granite Gear Cirrus 7000, and Arc'teryx Bora 95, though I have not hiked with any of these packs. I also debated McHale packs but just could not justify the expense of a truly custom-made pack. All the others were a big improvement over my old internal frame pack, and all fine choices.
The suspension on this backpack is tremendous, very comfortable. Well-designed hip belt, a frame that can handle a lot of weight and put it on your hips easily, and a shoulder harness that is adjustable for torso length and is very comfortable on the shoulders.
The bag has a number of nice features. The top is divided into 2 compartments, so my small stuff isn't quite as jumbled around. The two large front pockets are classic Dana Design, very large and very convenient. The sleeping bag compartment (separated by a barrier with fastex clips that can be undone to create one large bag) has a very wide mouth for large sleeping bags and a very beefy zipper. There are external load compression straps and an internal compression strap too. There is also a heavy zippered opening on the front of the pack, in addition to the top load opening. Finally, it has two bottle pockets that actually fit a one liter bottle within reach while walking, with a grommet in the bottom for drainage.
Build quality appears to be excellent, though not for the ultralight crowd. Fabrics, stitching, and hardware are all heavy duty and heavy - the pack weighs close to eight pounds empty. Hard to say how it will wear over time, but it's made in Montana in small quantities.
Small things I would change: the Dana packs had a very useful daisy chain of webbing on the back; the zipper access prevents that. I would have liked to see the loops somewhere else on the pack. Also, the top can be converted into a rudimentary day pack - that's fine, but I don't have much use for it, and the shoulder straps are completely unpadded. Better to dispense with that feature in my opinion.
Features to watch over time: I have never owned a pack with carbon/synthetic stays rather than aluminum. 7075 aluminum is the gold standard for expedition packs; This one has handled 50 pounds without a hitch and could easily take more. I will be watching how the stays hold up and bear the load over the long term, putting my trust in the company and the design.
Update: February 22, 2008
This is a brief update to my previous review, after taking the pack winter camping in New Hampshire. The suspension held up well under 65-70 pounds, no pack bruises, chafing, or adjustability issues in mixed snow/ice and occasionally steep terrain. Consider the G7000 for long expeditions. Also, extra straps/lash cords I bought came in very handy. Plenty of lash points, but I needed the extra straps.
Finally, I actually used the top sack that converts to a daypack and thought it was convenient - shoulder straps aren't padded, but it was a nice feature to have. Totally unscathed despite the proximity to crampons, snowshoes, and an ice axe. worth the expense.
Absolutly the greatest pack out there. If you need…
Design: front/top-loading internal
Size: 6400 cubic inches
Number of Pockets: 5
Max. Load Carried: 80+lbs
Height of Owner: 6'1"
Price Paid: $495
Absolutly the greatest pack out there. If you need something that'll carry your gear plus the gear of your girlfriend/mother/campers than this pack by the "Dana" of Dana Designs is as good as it gets. The suspension makes insane 80-pound loads feel like 40. Made in the USA, it's what the Dana Design Astraplane used to be when it was still made in Bozeman.

Works / Mystery Ranch G 6000Color Shown:BlackThe perfect four season pack.The G 6000 is at home in any season. This volume of pack is great for long fall, spring and summer trips and perfect for any winter outing. The addition of extra insulation and a larger sleeping bag for winter camping is too much for many expedition packs, but the 6400 cubic inches of the G6 handles this and more with ease. Under tough loads the G 6000 maintains its flat, efficient shape with load-bearing Xpac Cordura panels that channel the packs load to its beefy Outamatic X Frame. The fiberglass rods of the X Frame cross and terminate directly in our patented Lumbar Wrap that evenly spreads the load across your back and hips. Custom-adjustable harnessing ensures a perfect fit, and outamatically adjusts to your shape every time you hoist your pack. That big winter sleeping bag will have no problem fitting into our easy access Speedzip sleeping bag compartment. Big Honkn watter bottle pockets are angled for easy one-hand action, no stopping necessary, and the ported lid pocket takes a hydration bladder for even more liquid options. Hidden shoulder straps turn that big BiValve lid into a small daypack complete with two separate compartments, ported hydration storage, and lash point. A zipper between the long pockets provides access to the packs innards to retrieve those things you thought you wouldnt need. This pack will take you anywhere you want to go and do it in total comfort. Not to mention great style! Features:Volume: 6400 cu.in. Weight: 7 lbs. 13 oz

The remains of the four people on board a plane from East Texas that crashed in Wyoming have been recovered from the wreckage. Albany County Undersheriff Rob DeBree says crews completed the removal of the bodies from the wreckage site on Laramie Peak around 3 p.m. Mountain Time. DeBree confirms the fatalities as 52-year-old Charles Ford of Marshall, TX; 21-year-old Maverick Cayce of Longview, TX; 65-year-old Billy Gee of Karnack, TX and 29-year-old James Morgan of Marshall, TX. The four bodies are being taken to the Albany County Coroner's Office where autopsies will be performed over the next couple of days.The 2005 Piper-PA-32, owned by Ford, left the Harrison County Airport Tuesday morning en route to Casper, Wyoming. The plane was last seen in Dodge City, Kansas, where it had stopped to refuel. The plane's disappearance prompted a search Tuesday night that continued Wednesday and into Thursday. The wreckage was spotted Thursday evening at 7:02 p.m. CDT sitting on a rocky ledge on the south face of Wyoming's Laramie Peak, which is about 9,800 feet above sea level. A recovery helicopter was used to lower crews down into the wreckage site. Both the FAA and the NTSB are investigating. The NTSB is the lead investigative agency.Family, friends, and community members of the plane's passengers gathered for a prayer vigil Thursday around the same time search crews were narrowing in on the downed aircraft.More than a hundred people gathered at the Telegraph park in downtown Marshall to give support to the loved ones of the men lost in the crash."Everybody out here is supporting, it means a lot and I'm sure that it means a lot to the family," says Bryan Sutton, a friend of James Morgan.The search crew was led by Albany County Sheriff's Office members, who were aided by U.S. Air Force aircraft, DeBree says.

UPDATE: Press Release From Spokane Civic Theatre
The Spokane Civic Theatre has a long history of producing top-quality productions for the Spokane community. To do so, we consistently strive to make our product the best that it can be.
At the Spokane Civic Theatre, our Board of Directors are all volunteers
who are committed to acting with the interests of this community
treasure in mind. The Board considers the Theatre's well being and
future when making decisions about different matters. The details of
Yvonne A.K. Johnson's departure are confidential and shall remain so. We
are saddened that Ms. Johnson has decided to air her grievances in a
public forum. The Board is thoughtful in its review of Theatre
matters. We ask that you trust that our decisions are made with our
mission in mind and in furtherance of continuing to improve our
organization. As part of ongoing efforts, we have hired a
former Broadway director and our construction project is ahead of
schedule. The show must go on, and we hope you are a part of it.
The Spokane Civic Theater continues to move forward just a week after firing the person in charge, Executive Artistic Director Yvonne Johnson. In 2005 the theater hired Johnson from a pool of 90 applicants following a national search, but now she's out of a job and it looks like a large legal battle is brewing. The board made the decision less than a week ago. On Wednesday we reached out to the Theater Board President for comment, but at this point Larry Wooley could not say anything.
KHQ Local News Reporter Alex Rozier was able to obtain Yvonne Johnson's annual review for 2012-2013. That review took place on June 10th, a little more than a month ago. It was an absolutely stellar review, which only raises more questions about why Johnson was fired. One part read quote:
"The 2012-2013 Theatrical Season for Spokane Civic Theater was again artistically and financially the most successful to date," the report said. "It is a testament to Ms. Johnson's continued leadership and talents as Executive Artistic Director."
A new Civic Theater President started July 1st, and it wasn't long before Johnson was fired by the board. The 10 member board votes and in the event of a tie the President gets the final say. We still don't know how anyone voted, we just know the end result.
Johnson had many accomplishments in her tenure in charge. Her resume says she directed Spokane Civic Theater's top four grossing award winning musicals. There was controversy, though, after she fired the Musical Director James Ryan in 2010.
We will continue to follow this story as it develops.

- Egg replacer is basically a mixture of starch and leavening.
- It can only be used in baking.
- It can't be scrambled; it won't make a meringue; and it won't have the same effect as eggs in a sauce or custard.
That said, if you're interested in baking, pick up a box. I have had fairly good results using it for baking wheat-free breads and pastries, as it can add protein without liquid. Do note that you may need to adjust the amount of water or other liquids in your recipes to get the proper texture.

Return to FAQs
Can you help with college selection?
A good place to start is to talk with a person who knows you well and who is familiar with college education. Your high school earth science teacher might be a great person to ask or the guidance counselor at your school. Perhaps your parents or someone else in your family attended college and can discuss college choices with you. Try to get advice from several people. You are making an important decision and diverse input can be valuable.
Visiting geology departments is an essential part of selecting a school. An easy way to begin is to visit some
geology department websites
. There you can learn about school programs, courses, faculty, facilities and student activities. A geology department with faculty who are excited about what they are doing should make a good presentation on the web.
After you have done some basic research, you can then get in touch with one or more geology professors at each of the schools that you might like to attend and arrange a visit to their department. You can contact them by email or by phone, introduce yourself, let them know that you are interested in geology and ask any questions that you might have. (Don't be afraid to email or call a faculty member. While I was a professor, I received many email messages and phone calls from prospective students. They were usually the types of students that any professor would like to teach. There is no need to be shy about contacting them. Recruitment is part of every college professor's job.)
Good professors in a quality department will want to meet with you, show you around their department, and (if school policy allows) invite you to sit in on a class or a lab. During your visit you should spend time talking with the professor about courses and programs. Try also to talk with a few students and ask them what type of experience they are having at the school. Let the professor know that you hope to do these things when you arrange the visit.
The energy and enthusiasm of the professors and students in the department where you study are more important than the name of the school or how much it might cost. You will get the best education at a school where the professors are vigorous, enthusiastic about their work and willing to spend time contributing to the educational experience of their students. They should gladly explain what you will study, share stories about what their students are learning, describe course activities and field work, and tell you what types of careers their graduates enjoy. The students at a good school can tell you about interesting projects, challenging courses and about professors who take them into the field.
A good geology department should have nice classrooms and laboratories where students have access to equipment, tools, specimens, computers, microscopes and other learning materials. Departments in good financial health will have money for these and professors can obtain them through educational grants. Departments in good financial health will be able to support student field trips that are essential parts of most upper level courses. An ideal school will have an enthusiastic faculty and a department that is well supported.
Finally, if you have a very strong interest in a specific area of geology such as mineralogy, paleontology or hydrology, that can be useful in selecting a school. Attending a school where one or more enthusiastic faculty members share your interest and teach those courses can provide a rich educational experience. There you will be able to learn from someone who loves that subject and will have great interest in sharing it with you on field trips, in labs and during research projects.
So, go prepared to ask questions that will reveal all of these things. Then after you visit several schools you will have good information for making a decision.

Can you identify this rock, mineral or fossil for me?
We are sorry but we are unable to reply to requests for rock, mineral and meteorite identification.
The best way to get a reliable identification is to take the specimen to a qualified person who can handle the specimen and examine it properly. The most qualified people are often those who live or work near the area where you found the specimen. They usually know the local rocks, minerals and fossils better than anyone.

While the future for Twinkies, Zingers, Donettes and Wonder Bread remains uncertain, Hostess products continue to fly off stores' shelves.
At the Hostess Wonder Bread Bakery Outlet in Glendora, a steady stream of customers came in for what may be their last stash of Hostess products.
Half of the store's shelves are nearly bare. Much to the dismay of some local shoppers, the store was out of Twinkies Monday afternoon.
But that didn't stop customer Chris Scott, who drove to Glendora from Pomona to buy three bags of Donettes, Cupcakes and other Hostess goodies all for $15.
For Scott, the prospect of never again tasting one of his favorite childhood treats, and the deep discount deals on Hostess products, will keep him coming back to the Hostess store in Glendora as long as the Donettes and Ding Dongs are available.
"It's horrible, a travesty that they're going out of business," said Scott. "Hopefully, they still will make the Twinkies."
The Hostess Wonder Bread Bakery Outlet, located at 905 E. Arrow Hwy, recently opened its doors in Glendora. Store employees would not comment on the future of the location or availability of products, but the store remains open even as Hostess moves to shut down operations in response to employee strikes.
On Monday, a bankruptcy court judge ruled that parties had not gone through private mediation, stalling Hostess' attempts to liquidate and sell off assets.
But the Twinkies, Ho Ho's, Zingers and Ding Dongs may live to see another day. Several firms, including the Florida-based Sun Capital Partners Inc., are rumored to be interested in acquiring Hostess.
Still, the threat of a Hostess shutdown has sparked a craze for all things Hostess nationwide. The Huffington Post reports that one eBay seller is auctioning off a full box of Twinkies at a starting price of $200,000 (shipping included).
CNN Money reports a lunch box featuring "Twinkie the Kid," a cartoon cowboy character that bears a resemblance to the iconic yellow cake, fetched a winning bid of $690 on Friday.
According to a Friday press release from Hostess, the wind down means the closure of 33 bakeries, 565 distribution centers, approximately 5,500 delivery routes and 570 bakery outlet stores throughout the United States.
"We deeply regret the necessity of today's decision, but we do not have the financial resources to weather an extended nationwide strike," said Gregory F. Rayburn, chief executive officer. "Hostess Brands will move promptly to lay off most of its 18,500-member workforce and focus on selling its assets to the highest bidders."

A suburban Chicago woman has been sentenced to four years in prison for stealing from mentally or physically ill people she was hired to care for.
The Arlington Heights Daily Herald reports that 44-year-old Krisann Henderson of Arlington Heights was sentenced Friday. Last month, she pleaded guilty to felony theft charges and was also convicted of 1 count of residential burglary and theft over $500.
Henderson admitted to stealing $25,000 worth of jewelry while assisting people in their homes in her capacity as a certified nurse assistant.
Cook County Sheriff's detectives began investigating allegations of theft early last year after a man said several pieces of his wife's jewelry were missing. Later, authorities discovered some of that woman's jewelry turned up at a suburban pawnshop frequented by Henderson.
