As with all the volumes, it contains some pretty nifty stuff. I am reminded of this so often -- just a couple of days ago I was queried about a location shown in a photo. In fact that place is "Fairyland Basin," which was described in Volume IV.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I use that as an example. The nine volumes add up to 1,903 pages. That's a lot of information. The price of the volumes is already at a good discount for GOSA members, and it is even larger if you join as a somewhat higher level. So join (or re-join), buy Transactions, save money, have fun, and learn. What could be better?</DIV> <DIV>---------</DIV> <DIV>Meanwhile, the GOSA Directors seem to want me to tackle GOSA Transactions, Volume X, which presumably/ideally will be finished in early 2006. And so it is again time to make a</DIV> <DIV>CALL FOR PAPERS</DIV> <DIV>for that volume.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The submission formats will be unchanged from before. An information sheet (MS Word) can be sent on request.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>At this point I am not setting any submission deadline (except, as always, the sooner the better) but there is this ONE IMPORTANT CHANGE in policy:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I will absolutely _NOT_ accept for consideration any submission that this incomplete in any way. In other words, _finish_ your article in all respects -- text, photos, maps, charts, tables, etc. -- everything -- before submission.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT lang=0 face=Arial size=2 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" PTSIZE="10">T.
