111 Suddenly the sail flapped noisily and unfurled. Sorthalan walked
|
|||
|
|
112 about the boat, tethering the rigging. The vessel rocked once, then
|
|||
|
|
113 spun out into the river, turned about, and went with the flow. The
|
|||
|
|
114 sail billowed and stretched, the ropes creaked and snapped, and the
|
|||
|
|
115 boat listed sharply. Sorthalan stood at the long rudder, his cloak
|
|||
|
|
116 wrapped about him, his gaze fixed now on the surface and cooled our
|
|||
|
|
117 skins. The sun was low and the shadow of elementals flowed through
|
|||
|
|
118 the trees, and across the waters ahead of us, making the water ripple
|
|||
|
|
119 with an eerie light.

125 Hmm, Off to a good start it would seem. I'm not sure exactly what this parrot
|

126 bashing means. Perhaps Friar will enlighten us.
|

127

128 I ussually do write when I call in. It is only when I'm in a hurry or really

129 have nothing to say that I do not. Well, I think I'll write some on my story.

131 (Oh Oh, Now I've commited myself :-) )
|

|

132
|

|

133 Aurthor and I prepared to leave. The lethergy around the table had grown
|
|||
|
|
134 depresing and Kurfur had yet to return from his quest.
|
|||
|
|
135
|
|||
|
|
136 "Well now, I suppose I'll let you lead. Try to avoid the areas of greater
|
|||
|
|
137 temporal drift if you would, I really don't enjoy getting lost for hours on
|
|||

|
|||
|
|
139
|
|||
|
|
140 "No problem, The swirls tend to upset my stomach you know." he replied.
|
|||
|
|
141
|
|||
|
|
142 We began mental communication. "You know," I said looking around. "There are of
|
|||
|
|
143 course two way 9th order beings."
|
|||
|
|
144
|
|||
|
|
145 "Hmm, I suppose there probably are. Why do you bring it up?"
|
|||
|
|
146
|
|||
|
|
147 "Well," I began. "It strikes me that these beings would have the Ability to
|
|||
|
|
148 manipulate time and such."
|
|||
|
|
149
|
|||
|
|
150 "Yes I suppose they could. Wouldn't be very fair of them though."
|
|||
|
|
151
|
|||
|
|
152 "No, I suppose not. I would bet that it goes on you know. Maybe that explains
|
|||
|
|
153 why we somtimes get the feeling that things have changed. I think I knew
|
|||
|
|
154 somebody awhile back that was a two way 9th order being. He went by the
|

|
|
155 name John Edison. Fancied himself to be an Interdimensional Police Officer."
|

156
|

|
|
157 "Really? Were was he when the king took my land and lair to pay for back taxes?
|

158 Besides, Why do you bring all of this up?" The Dragon asked.

222 One might think that today, Friday the 13th, was just another normal day. But
|
|||
|
|
223 whoever thinks that is wrong. In the movies, today would be the perfect day
|
|||
|
|
224 for Friday The 13th, Part VIII to be released. Well, It wasn't. But, today,
|
|||
|
|
225 completely by coincidence, the movie "Deep Star Six" was released. And, if
|
|||
|
|
226 anyone knows this already, the director of that horror movie is Sean S.
|
|||
|
|
227 Cunningham, who directed the original Friday The 13th. Did he do it on pur-
|
|||
|
|
228 pose, or was it just coincidence. I usually don't care for horror films, but
|
|||
|
|
229 there are some worth watching. I'm seeing this one tonight, and I'll write a
|
|||
|
|
230 little review tomorrow (I'm not a critic -- I hate critics) to maybe help you
|
|||
|

231 decide if you want to see it. So long 'till then. --THE VISION

234 Hidey ho Hello! Kaitlyn here. A message to the Vision, so you go to Jesuit?
|
|||
|
|
235 I happen to know a few guys who go there, in fact, I've gone out with a couple
|
|||
|
|
236 Anyway, I go to Tigard, and am a senior this year. Maybe you can understand
|
|||
|
|
237 a little about all the college application process, and how hectic it is!!!!
|
|||
|
|
238 To everybody else, probably no one cares anyway, but I just got accepted to
|
|||
|
|
239 Pacific Lutheran University, with a $1500 scholarship!!!!!!!!!!!
|
|||
|
|
240
|
|||
|
|
241 Since the quest seems to have disappeared without me, I think I'll get my other
|
|||
|
|
242 story going.
|
|||
|
|
243
|
|||
|
|
244 Years ago, in the land of Grythen, a land much like our own, a small child
|
|||
|
|
245 was born to the sister of the queen. She was destined to become the greatest h
|
|||
|
|
246 the land, but since her father had died from an assasin's knife only a month be
|
|||
|
|
247 and her mother died one day after her birth, the huntsman took her and hid her
|
|||
|
|
248 somewhere in the land so enemies could not find her. She grew up, not knowing
|
|||
|
|
249 her origin, the only person who knew was that huntsman.
|
|||
|
|
250 Great beginning, Huh?

272 Backwater works on a rotation basis. There are two disks. Each has 999 lines.
|
|||
|
|
273 When one 1 is filled it gets moved to disk b. and the old disk b is archived
|
|||
|
|
274 and removed from the system. So the active drive is always drive a. if you
|
|||
|
|
275 want to get to drive be which has the last disk full of stuff you type
|

|
276 db. This will take you to disk b. To get back type da.

278 I have a friend (Milchar by name when he choses to grace this place with his

279 much to scarce presence.) Who has the complete backwater archive from 1982 to
|
|||
|
|
280 mid 1987. Some fascinating stuff. (If you want a copy ask our illustriose
|
|||
|
|
281 sysop, for an adequete donation he will I have been told gladly make you
|
|||
|
|
282 copies.)
|
|||
|
|
283
|
|||
|
|
284 There are around 80 360k floppies full of stuff. I havn't read all of it, But
|
|||
|
|
285 from what I've browsed there is a lot of really good stuff. Some really good
|
|||
|
|
286 fiction and fascinating conversation.
|
|||
|
|
287
|
|||
|
|
288 Easily enough material for a book. I tend to think it would be a good idea if
|
|||
|
|
289 a book of this sort were written. I can see some problems though. Who 'owns'
|
|||
|
|
290 the stuff entered here? What does Cystop Mikey think? BWMS is one of the
|
|||
|
|
291 oldest BBS's in the northwest and probably one of the oldest in the country
|
|||
|
|
292 still running.
|
|||
|
|
293
|
|||
|
|
294 As a aspiring historian I think BWMS would be a good subject for a book.
|
|||
|
|
295 What do the rest of you think? If possible I'd like to work on it in my spare
|

296 time. If nothing else it gives me a good excuse to read the whole archive :-)

348 her work at an inn located deep in the forest. On her seventeenth birthday,

|
|
349 however, a man came to the inn and enlisted her as an apprentice. She left
|

|
|
350 to study the ways of magic, for he said she had talent. Little did she know
|

351 where her studies would take her......

|
359 Aurthor and I appeared on the top of a low green hill overlooking a valley that
|
|||
|
|
360 wa lightly forested with evergreens. There was a small creek runing down beside
|
|||
|
|
361 us and it continued down into the forest to be lost in one of the denser
|
|||
|
|
362 grouping of trees. <valley>, not <forest>
|
|||
|
|
363
|
|||
|
|
364 I turned to the dragon. "As I remember your cave is located in the northeast
|
|||
|
|
365 corner of the valley, I suppose you brought us down here to avoid the king and
|
|||
|
|
366 his men?
|
|||
|
|
367
|
|||
|
|
368 "Yes, Not that I'm afraid of them. It just seemed the prudent thing to do you
|
|||
|
|
369 know." he replied.
|
|||
|
|
370
|
|||
|
|
371 "Of course. Why don't I walk over there why you wait here and check things
|
|||
|
|
372 out?"
|
|||
|
|
373
|
|||
|
|
374 "Sounds like a fair plan to me. Just yell if you need any help."
|
|||
|
|
375
|
|||
|
|
376 "Ok, I'll be back in a hour or so."
|
|||
|
|
377
|
|||
|
|
378 So saying I began the trip to the cave. It took me nearly 20 minutes to get
|
|||
|
|
379 there as the forrest had proven to be denser then I had at first thought it to
|
|||
|
|
380 be.
|
|||
|
|
381
|
|||
|
|
382 I approached the cave slowly so as to not encite anyone who may have been
|
|||
|
|
383 guarding it.
|
|||
|
|
384
|
|||
|
|
385 I noted several men camped outside the entrance. They were dressed in suits of
|
|||
|
|
386 armor and tied off to one side were approximetly two dozen large war hourses.
|
|||
|
|
387
|
|||
|
|
388 "Excuse me!" I called as I walked out of the woods and onto the trail that
|
|||
|
|
389 led up to the cave. "I need to speak to your leader."
|
|||
|
|
390
|
|||
|
|
391 "Really? And who might you be skulking in our woods?" Asked one of the guards.
|
|||
|
|
392
|
|||
|
|
393 "My name is Michael, I come representing Aurthor the Dragon lately of these
|
|||
|
|
394 premasis."
|
|||
|
|
395
|
|||
|
|
396 "Oh, that fat overgrown Lizard. What do you want to know?"
|
|||
|
|
397
|
|||
|
|
398 "Where your leader is."
|
|||
|
|
399
|
|||
|
|
400 The man sighed. "Verywell, Robbins go in and see if the revenuer is busy."
|
|||
|
|
401
|
|||
|
|
402 Robbins (Or so I assumed him to be.) Got up and jogged into the cave. While I
|
|||
|
|
403 was waiting I took some time to do a carfull examination of the rest of the
|
|||
|
|
404 soldiers. They were all well dressed and appeared to be Highly disciplined and
|
|||
|
|
405 trained fighting men. I began to suspect that Aurthur had had good reason
|
|||
|
|
406 to give in easily.
|
|||
|
|
407
|
|||
|
|
408 Suddenly there was a loud pop of to my right. I turned and there I saw a
|
|||
|
|
409 familier though baffling sight. John Edison Interdimensional Police officer
|
|||
|
|
410 had appeared Bathtub and all.
|
|||
|
|
411
|
|||
|
|
412 "What? Hmm, I seem to be lost." He said standing up and turning around.
|
|||
|
|
413
|
|||
|
|
414 "Where the bloddy Hell did you come from!" The guard who had adressed me
|
|||
|
|
415 earlier asked as he and his companions drew their weapons.
|
|||
|
|
416
|
|||
|
|
417 John Edison stood up straighter. "I am John Edison, Interdimensnonal Police
|
|||
|
|
418 officer!" He replied proudly.
|
|||
|
|
419
|
|||
|
|
420 "Police officer eh?" The guard said suspiciosly. "Well you out of your
|
|||
|
|
421 jurisdiction in that case."
|
|||
|
|
422
|
|||
|
|
423 "Imposible" John Eddison replied.
|
|||
|
|
424
|
|||
|
|
425 "Gentlemen." I interupted. "I think we should all relax a bit. Doesn't do to
|
|||
|
|
426 have all this yelling when we could conduct ourselves as civilized beings."
|
|||
|
|
427
|
|||
|
|
428 "very well" said the Guard. "We will let the king decide."
|
|||
|
|
429
|
|||
|
|
430 "Is he the local authority?" asked John.
|
|||
|
|
431
|
|||
|
|
432 "Yes he is." The Guard answered him.
|
|||
|
|
433
|
|||
|
|
434
|
|||
|
|
435 "Very well then, I will wait to see what he says about who has authority."
|
|||
|
|
436
|
|||
|
|
437 Just then the revenuer came out. "What seems to be the problem?" she said
|
|||
|
|
438 walking towards the (I now assumed) Head guard.
|
|||
|
|
439
|
|||
|
|
440 "Well mam, The gentlemen in the strange pants and shirt says he represents
|
|||
|
|
441 One Aurthor Dragon who used to inhabit this cave."
|
|||
|
|
442
|
|||
|
|
443 "Oh, Good. He took my advice then. Come on into the cave and I'll explain
|
|||
|
|
444 the situation to you." She said motioning me forward. "Your name is?"
|
|||
|
|
445
|
|||
|
|
446 "Michael."
|

|

455 Yes, It's me, and I finally got around to seeing "Deep Star Six" today.
|
|||
|
|
456 It was OK. Lots of action, but dumb action, and little good dialogue and
|
|||
|
|
457 story and interesting techniques. It is definitely for the undemanding.
|
|||
|
|
458 It's about some underwater science team and an alien they discover in
|
|||
|
|
459 a cave under the sea floor. Sounds interesting, and is, but the final
|
|||
|
|
460 production just doesn't pull through. It has some funny stuff here and
|
|||
|
|
461 there, about three or four major pulse-pounding scenes, but not enough
|
|||
|
|
462 considering some of the other films that have been out lately. See ya!

521 Kaitlyn - Pretty name. Is it real or is it a pseudonym? I picture a
|
|||
|
|
522 Kaitlyn as a smallish woman, about 5' 4", around 125#. Delicate features,
|
|||
|
|
523 but colour in the cheeks. A long mass of wavy strawberry blonde curls.
|
|||
|
|
524 A lilting laugh out of a thin but sensuous mouth. Red lips, and the hair
|
|||
|
|
525 cascading down both sides of the face reaching down to breasts almost
|
|||
|
|
526 defiant in their sauciness. A flat stomach, well proportioned hips.
|
|||
|
|
527 Absolutely marvellous legs.
|
|||
|
|
528 Now, how close am I? If it is a pseudonym, I can be exactly correct. If
|

|
|
529 it is real, let us know how close.

|

|
|
531 C.C.M. - I am not sure what you are referring to by "ALL THIS STUFF FROM
|
|||
|
|
532 LITERATURE" (nor do I understand why you are shouting.) but if you are
|
|||
|
|
533 referring to the stories placed on the board, then I think you may be on
|
|||
|
|
534 the wrong board. BWMS has a long history of stories, dating back many
|
|||
|
|
535 years. Back when Piper, Pam, Milchar, and many others walked these
|
|||
|
|
536 lines. I would like to see us go back to some of those times.

538 Cistop Mikey -
|
|||
|
|
539 How about it? There's an Idea that may have some merit. How about
|
|||
|
|
540 resurrecting some of those times? Put an archive disk on DB and change
|
|||
|
|
541 it every other day. I suggest starting from the very beginning, or
|
|||
|
|
542 perhaps when Pam came back around 83. Some of the stories and
|
|||
|
|
543 adventures were great. Some of the debates were fabulous. Maybe we
|
|||
|
|
544 can start something anew. Astral Dreamer has got one going, and others
|
|||
|
|
545 have tried. Maybe this would provide impetus to continue?
|
|||
|
|
546 It might be hard technically, since we used to allow long lines, and
|
|||
|
|
547 there weren't as many, but I have faith in you.

558 King, Martin Luther, Jr.
|
|||
|
|
559 --------------------------------
|
|||
|
|
560 Martin Luther King, Jr., was a man of impressive moral presence who devoted
|
|||
|
|
561 his life to the fight for full citizenship rights of the poor, disadvantaged,
|
|||
|
|
562 and racially oppressed in the United States. Born on Jan. 15, 1929, in
|
|||
|
|
563 Atlanta, Ga., he was the second of three children of the Rev. Michael (later
|
|||
|
|
564 Martin) and Mrs. Alberta Williams King. He received a bachelor's degree in
|
|||
|
|
565 sociology (1948) from Morehouse College, a B.D. (1951) from Crozer Theological
|
|||
|
|
566 Seminary, and a doctorate in philosophy (1955) from Boston University.^In
|
|||
|
|
567 1954, King accepted his first pastorate--the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in
|
|||
|
|
568 Montgomery, Ala. He and his wife, Coretta Scott King, whom he had met and
|
|||
|
|
569 married (June 1953) while at Boston University, had been resident in
|
|||
|
|
570 Montgomery less than a year when Mrs. Rosa Parks defied the ordinance
|
|||
|
|
571 concerning segregated seating on city buses (Dec. 1, 1955). King's successful
|
|||
|
|
572 organization of the year-long Montgomery bus boycott, with the assistance of
|
|||
|
|
573 the Rev. Ralph ABERNATHY and Edward Nixon, catapulted him into national
|
|||
|
|
574 prominence as a leader of the CIVIL RIGHTS movement.^King studied the life and
|
|||
|
|
575 teachings of Mahatma Gandhi and further developed the Indian leader's doctrine
|
|||
|
|
576 of satyagraha ("holding to the truth"), or nonviolent civil disobedience. In
|
|||
|
|
577 the aftermath of Montgomery he traveled, delivered speeches, and wrote his
|
|||
|
|
578 first book, Stride Toward Freedom (1958). In 1960 he accepted copastorship
|
|||
|
|
579 with his father of the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta and became president
|
|||
|
|
580 of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). Although he continued
|
|||
|
|
581 to travel and speak widely and firmly committed the SCLC to voter-registration
|
|||
|
|
582 campaigns throughout the South, King's major campaigns were those in Albany,
|
|||
|
|
583 Ga. (December 1961-August 1962), Birmingham, Ala. (April-May 1963), and
|
|||
|
|
584 Danville, Va. (July 1963). He organized the massive March on Washington (Aug.
|
|||
|
|
585 28, 1963) where, in his brilliant "I Have a Dream" speech, he "subpoenaed the
|
|||
|
|
586 conscience of the nation before the judgment seat of morality." In January
|
|||
|
|
587 1964, Time magazine chose King Man of the Year, the first black American so
|
|||
|
|
588 honored. Later that year he became the youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace
|
|||
|
|
589 Prize.^After supporting desegregation efforts in Saint Augustine, Fla., in
|
|||
|
|
590 1964, King concentrated his efforts on the voter-registration drive in Selma,
|
|||
|
|
591 Ala., leading a harrowing march from Selma to Montgomery in March 1965. Soon
|
|||
|
|
592 after, a tour of the northern cities led him to assail the conditions of
|
|||
|
|
593 economic as well as social discrimination. This marked a shift in SCLC
|
|||
|
|
594 strategy, one intended to "bring the Negro into the mainstream of American
|
|||
|
|
595 life as quickly as possible." Having begun to recognize the deeper
|
|||
|
|
596 relationships of economics and poverty to racism, King now called for a
|
|||
|
|
597 "reconstruction of the entire society, a revolution of values." Along with
|
|||
|
|
598 demands for stronger civil and voting rights legislation and for a meaningful
|
|||
|
|
599 poverty budget, he spoke out against the Vietnam War. On Apr. 4, 1967, he told
|
|||
|
|
600 an audience that "The Great Society {President Lyndon Johnson's antipoverty
|
|||
|
|
601 program} has been shot down on the battlefields of Vietnam."^Early in 1968,
|
|||
|
|
602 King began to plan a multiracial poor people's march on Washington to demand
|
|||
|
|
603 an end to all forms of discrimination and the funding of a $12-billion
|
|||
|
|
604 "Economic Bill of Rights." In the midst of organizing this campaign, he flew
|
|||
|
|
605 to Memphis, Tenn., to assist striking sanitation workers. There, on Apr. 4,
|
|||
|
|
606 1968, King was felled by an assassin's bullet. The violent death of this man
|
|||
|
|
607 of peace brought an immediate reaction of rioting in black ghettos around the
|
|||
|
|
608 country. Although one man, James Earl Ray, was convicted of King's murder, the
|
|||
|
|
609 question of whether he was the paid agent of conspirators has not been
|
|||
|
|
610 conclusively resolved. It is clear only that the United States was deprived of
|
|||
|
|
611 a towering symbol of moral and social progress. King's birthday was declared a
|
|||
|
|
612 federal holiday in 1983. DAVID LEVERING LEWIS

662 Regarding C.C.M.'s comments earlier - this is indeed the wrong board if the
|
|||
|
|
663 stories and "literature" do not hold an interest for you.....
|
|||
|
|
664
|
|||
|
|
665 I originally logged on this board back in about 1984 (perhaps a year or so
|
|||
|
|
666 earlier - and I no longer remember my original password/name) and I was very
|
|||
|
|
667 intrigued by the "round-robin" storytelling concept. Unfortunately the only
|
|||
|
|
668 time I could log on was from a display terminal at my job on graveyd so
|
|||
|
|
669 I had no time to join.....just to observe.
|
|||
|
|
670
|
|||
|
|
671 I now have my own system in my home office so was delighted to discover the
|
|||
|
|
672 system and the original concept survives. Perhaps the idea of "replaying"
|
|||
|
|
673 some of the old archive disks would indeed be a good idea - new and old
|
|||
|
|
674 users alike would benefit, I think....and the stories will go on.
|
|||
|
|
675
|
|||
|
|
676 For now, I hope to observe for a short while to learn how and where the
|
|||
|
|
677 new story lines are going (looks like one is off to a good start....) and
|
|||
|
|
678 then I shall try my hand, if I may. Although a bit older now, my brain and
|
|||
|
|
679 imagination still work.... and I'm glad Backwater and the people on the
|
|||
|
|
680 system are here.
|
|||
|
|
681
|
|||
|
|
682 And now, with crystal ball in hand, I wish you all......

697 Can't continue the story right now, I have some homework to do. I have to try

698 to explaine how this philosopher named wittgenstein differentiates between

699 things that are facts and thus true, and religion which he says does not need

700 to have any bases in fact and can still be validly true for the religiose

716 Hidey Ho Hello!
|
|||
|
|
717 Sorry Vision, I must have missed it. In answer to what Friar said earlier,
|
|||
|
|
718 you were pretty close! I'm 5'6" and I'm not telling my weight. My hair is shor
|
|||
|
|
719 brown-rather non-descript, kinda mousy. If you want to have a clue at all what
|
|||
|
|
720 I look like, watch the paper this spring--the Tigard Times, if you get it. I
|
|||
|
|
721 should be in there for golf. I'm on the Tigard team--I was #1 last year. Look
|
|||
|
|
722 for "Katie" that's my real name.
|
|||
|
|
723 Vision, how about you? I don't know a thing about you, except that you're
|
|||
|
|
724 sixteen and you go to Jesuit. Anything I should know before continuing to
|
|||
|
|
725 converse with you? How about you likes and dislikes, at least then I might
|
|||
|
|
726 have something to say to you that could be interesting.(rather than this mumbo
|
|||
|
|
727 jumbo I'm writing now!!!)
|
|||
|
|
728 SEE YA LATER!!!!!!!!!!!

'54 ^OOOOOOO!
|
|||
|
|
755
|
|||
|
|
756
|
|||
|
|
757 The pain was great. Like stuffing your whole body into a blender. Then,
|
|||
|
|
758 someone pressed the puree' button...
|
|||
|
|
759
|
|||
|
|
760 ...and it continued. Eventually, I pulled what little was left of my
|
|||
|
|
761 essence out of the0wor} trap, and pieced my liquid body back into place.
|
|||
|
|
762 (Concentrate: Solidify. Rigid but moving. Whole. Not apart) with my
|
|||
|
|
763 mind racing against the pain of re-joining. (Almost myself, becoming
|
|||
|
|
764 stronger) with each second, my body was returninw.
|
|||
|
|
765
|
|||
|
|
766 Then, I heard it.
|
|||
|
|
767
|
|||
|
|
768 That laugh. Loud, but not oppressive. Just jeering. Somewhere.
|
|||
|
|
769
|
|||
|
|
770 All was black. Nothing. I couldn't even find a fix on Beta Space,
|
|||
|
|
771 and still, for the first time in "years", I feared. The fear passed over
|
|||
|
|
772 me, spawned from doubt and misunderstanding. My Master Guru's words
|
|||
|
|
773 came into my ear: "doubt not, for your doubt is true. Know that
|
|||
|
|
774 all is and is not and is both and neither, for you are an experience,
|
|||
|
|
775 and shqll qlways be." The doubt became a sense of calm, slowly purging
|
|||
|
|
776 the more-than-human fear from my being. I listened again, only
|
|||
|
|
777 to have found that the laughter had stopped. It was my turn to laugh.
|
|||
|
|
778 Ignorance had found me and placed me ind thu worm trap (a worm trap
|
|||
|
|
779 is two "wormholes" placed in opposite time flow directions. You end
|
|||
|
|
780 up travelling both forward and backward in time. Not a fun thing).
|
|||
|
|
781 Ignorance, also known as stupidity, fear, doubt, shame, guilt, and
|
|||
|
|
782 ma~i mqny other names. I chuckled, then burst out in laughter, shattering
|
|||
|
|
783 the barrier of blackness around me. I was home the entire time.
|
|||
|
|
784 I was in Beta Space. All was, as it was, again.
|
|||
|
|
785
|
|||
|
|
786 "Leave my home! Go vex some other being moru wordhy of your talents,
|
|||
|
|
787 and do not return, LEAST I ENLIGHTEN YOU!" my voice boomed, and with
|
|||
|
|
788 that note, Ignorance whimpered and returned to the Dark Lords, seeking
|
|||
|
|
789 security.

844 outright ban on polystyrene foam food containers used by restaurants and food

845 vendors beginning Jan. 1, 1990. Final action on the ordinance will be taken

846 next week. Plastic industry representatives had tried to gather support for

856 SEXUAL PREFERENCE OF SHEEP SAID TO COST FARMERS MILLIONS
|
|||
|
|
857
|
|||
|
|
858 DUBOIS, Idaho - About 1&0persent of the 130,000 male sheep in
|
|||
|
|
859 the nation may reject amorous overtures from females, costing
|
|||
|
|
860 sheep ranchers at least $7 million a year, the U.S. Agriculture
|
|||
|
|
861 Department said.
|
|||
|
|
862
|
|||
|
|
863 Scientists at the U.S. Sheep Experiment Station0at Dubois found
|
|||
|
|
864 that 16 of the 100 rams they studied were "duds," lacking in sex
|
|||
|
|
865 drive. Similar ratios have been reported in other studies.
|
|||
|
|
866
|
|||
|
|
867 "Of the 16 rams tested, half were attracted solely to other
|
|||
|
|
868 males," said biologisd James Fitzgerald.
|
|||
|
|
869
|
|||
|
|
870 "Rams mounting other rams is considered normal behavior," said
|
|||
|
|
871 Anne Perkins, a doctoral candidate studying sheep behavior at the
|
|||
|
|
872 station. "However, rams that persist in mounting males, even in
|
|||
|
|
873 the presence0of vemales in heat, we call homosexuals."
|
|||
|
|
874
|
|||
|
|
875 Perkins said sheep producers need to watch for nonproductive
|
|||
|
|
876 rams.
|
|||
|
|
877
|
|||
|
|
878 "Our study showed homosexual behavior disrupts the matings of
|
|||
|
|
879 rams expected to service up to 100 ewes in 21 tays<" Perkins
|
|||
|
|
880 said. "This leads to fewer births, smaller flocks and less income
|
|||
|
|
881 for lamb producers."
|
|||
|
|
882
|
|||
|
|
883 Perkins' study indicates that differences in high and low sex
|
|||
|
|
884 drives are linked to physiological differences. She said blod
|
|||
|
|
(85 hormone levels differ according to a ram's sex drive, adding she
|
|||
|
|
886 will continue to investigate links between a ram's hormone levels
|
|||
|
|
887 and endocrine control originating in its brain.
|
|||
|
|
888
|
|||
|
|
889 "This research may have implications for thce scientists
|
|||
|
|
890 investigating human sexuality,"she said.
|
|||
|
|
891
|
|||
|
|
892 The scientists hope their research will ultimately lead to the
|
|||
|
|
893 development of a simple test ranchers can use to screen
|
|||
|
|
894 nonproductive rams. The study is part of research at thu station
|
|||
|
|
895 to improve sheep production nationwide.

941 Speaking of movies, like I usually do, has anyone see the movie
|
|||
|
|
942 "Electric Dreams"?? It was out in about, Oh, I guess 1983 or so, and
|
|||
|
|
943 it is about a computer and how it loves the girlfried of its owner.
|
|||
|
|
944 It is very funny, and rathur gull done too, with good music.
|

|
|
945
|
|||
|
|
946 Another good computer movie, which I am sure that most of you have
|
|||
|
|
947 seen already is "WarGames", which was out in 1985 (I think). It is
|
|||
|
|
948 a great movie, although maybe a bit exaggerated.
|
|||
|
|
949 I mean, the0leating computer whiz is a little bit too smart and
|
|||
|
|
950 the school's password for their modem is not hidden very well, etc.
|
|||
|
|
951 but I guess something like the incidents in that movie could really
|
|||
|
|
952 happen, but I'm not sure. What do you people think??/ D you think
|
|||
|
|
953 that that could really happen?? I mean could a kid of 16-17 years of
|
|||
|
|
954 age get into the state's national defense system and make it seem
|
|||
|
|
955 as though it was World War III?????

|

|
|
957 Astral D, in response to your remarks about youb class you take at
|
|||
|
|
958 PSU (I think), I take it that you really do not like what you are
|
|||
|
|
959 studying. What you said you had to do a report on sounded really
|
|||
|
|
960 useless to what you want to go into (a computer related field), and
|
|||
|
|
961 you must be i~ qeyte a bit of struggle with that class. I hope you

962 solve that soon.
