Where I grew up I used to live by the Utah State Hospital also know as the crazy house.
When i was about 8 or so they started adding on to it. They but in the new addition which was the high security facility where they but ax murderers and such. This Included high concrete walls placed on both sides of the road.

Our stake was asked to go serve the metal patient brach the sacrament every one in while. I had some of the weirdest experiences there. There was this guy how had really long hair and kind of bigger, when i passed by him he took the bigest hand full of bread that I Have ever seen. the next time I passed by him he took about 7 cups of water. I guess thats was all he had to eat.

That reminds me of another experience. Occasionally the big gate that is at the south side was open for weeks at a time. I would often ride my bike threw the campus

Technology Update: Personal Locater Beacons (PLD) come online in July 2003

http://www.outdoored.com/articles/Article.aspx?ArticleID=157

cell phones, satellite phones, GPS...it goes on and on. There have been lots of discussions in our field about 'technology creep,' the slow (and so far it seems inevitable) extension of technological devices into the backcountry. Well, get ready to welcome one more device into the mix, the Personal Locater Device (PLD). The PLD is the extension of two other devices which have been around for years, the EPIRB (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon) for maritime use the the ELT (Emergency Locator Transmitters) for aviation use. All three devices can be used in an emergency to send an emergency beacon signal to a satellite. The satellite relays the signal to a ground station where the call is forwarded on to the appropriate emergency response system.

For my paper

I have got a lot of research done for cell phones in the wilderness, but now i need to find more on gps.  And write alot more

paper today

I need to learn how to write a good into and conclusion

Greener SUVs

EBSCOhost: "The article describes an automobile transmission from General Motors for use in its hybrid vehicles. For stop-and-go city driving it uses both electric and gasoline motors. At higher speeds a different set of gears enables the electric motor to continue generating power while the gasoline engine employs just half of its pistons, thus improving fuel economy.

What accoplished today

Read some articles that I printed off and also found another article

Trail running outdoor trend

LexisNexis® Academic: Document: "JUMP-STARTING a running regimen is a springtime rite for recreational joggers across the country. But instead of pounding pavement, millions now sprint into the woods, where the growing sport of trail running is bringing exercisers back to nature. About 6.7 million Americans now run on dirt or grass trails once a week or more, according to a 2006 report from the Outdoor Industry Foundation in Boulder, Colo."

Utah State Parks » Grants

Utah State Parks » Grants: "As we look around our great state, we see many fine facilities that our neighbors depend on for their recreational enjoyment that were constructed in whole or in part through grant funds administered by Utah State Parks. Some confusion seems to linger, however, with regards to the use of this grant funding and the process through which funds may be made available. I'd like to clarify some of that confusion as it applies to the four major grant programs that are available to help communities and public land agencies add to the recreational estate we all need and enjoy. Those programs are: the Land and Water Conservation Fund, the National Recreational Trails Program, the Utah Off-Highway Vehicle Grant Program and the Utah Trails and Pathways Program."

Thoughts about article

The main pionts that I got out of it were
Free writing helps a lot
Contingency Management is very powerful
One should wait actively
Pace your self
Start Early don't wait tell the day before the paper is do
Work on it often.

Make my paper better

I really need to write a lot more.  I should find a conerversal topic in public lands and write about it.

The wild new west

EBSCOhost: "The article discusses the appeal of Moab, Utah. According to the article, the area has appeal to yuppie adventurers and family vacationers. The author states that it's transformation is indicative of the new America West. The area is host to an Edward Abbey shrine, sites for biking, boating and off-roading. Moab has managed to avoid the civilizing influence of chain stores, art galleries, and gourmet cuisine."

Lobster

Why is it that it has to be boiled alive does it really make it taste that much better? What I think is really stupid was the price at the lobster fest for the lobster, chips, soda.  If it is so much abundance why does it cost so much.  I my self have never had lobster.  What I have heard it just tastes like butter.

Intro of torsten

My name is Torsten Bangerter. Find my new blog at tbangphoto.blogspot.com My major is Outdoor Recreation
Management. I enjoy the outdoors, camping, photography, and
computers. Some things interesting about me are I was hit by a car
when crossing in a crosswalk and now have a titanium rod inside my
leg. I have a good amount of experience in writing, although I am not
the greatest writer. The most experience I have gotten for a class
would probably be with my English 1010 class. I had Jolayne Class who
is a very interesting person. The first paper that we had to write
was about a personal narrative about an event that changed you. The
next paper that we wrote was a research paper. I think this was the
hardest paper for me because I put it off until the last moment.
Choosing a topic for me is often very difficult. Some things that I
might possibly want to research are alternative fuels, the United
States land management system, Utah's public transportation system,
Macs vs. PCs, What type of car is best for the average college
student.

Energy Citations Database (ECD) - - Document #160574

Energy Citations Database (ECD) - - Document #160574: "Written primarily for fleet management personnel with purchasing, maintenance, or operations responsibilities, Alternative Fuels: Emissions, Economics, and Performance provides essential information for those who are considering adding alternatively-fueled vehicles to their fleets. The book is also an ideal introduction to this topic for legislators, administrators, educators, and anyone interested in learning more about alternate fuels. Readers will gain a solid understanding of the fundamentals of alternative fuels and the factors that need to be considered when evaluating their use. No prior knowledge of alternative fuels is necessary. Alternative Fuels: Emissions, Economics, and Performance contains basic information on the various alternative fuels and objective data on the costs of converting, fueling, and operating alternatively-fueled vehicles. Fuel cost, performance, reliability, and availability are addressed. The book also discusses the impact that the 1990 amendments to the Clean Air Act and the 1992 Comprehensive National Energy Policy Act could have on the use of alternative fuels. A summary of Texas` state law, considered to be representative of state legislation on alternative fuels, and a glossary of key terms, are also included."
