|
65 nation's trappers are professionals, while the fur industry employs
|
|||
|
66 only 5000 people nationwide.
|
|||
|
67 Non-target animals are also victimized by trappers' tools.
|
|||
|
68 These "trash" animals, according to Dept of Interior figures, con-
|
|||
|
69 stitute as much as 67% of the total catch, and include domestic
|
|||
|
70 animals such as dogs and cats.
|
|||
|
71 Of course, not all animals slaughtered for their pelts are
|
|||
|
72 caught in traps. Some are raised on "ranches" in a way similar to
|
|||
|
73 factory-farmed food animals, except that there are no federal regula-
|
|||
|
74 tions regarding humane treatmnent and no inspection of facilities.
|
|||
|
75 There is also far less incentive for a fur rancher to concern himself
|
|||
|
76 with the physical and psychological well-being of his animals since
|
|||
|
77 this does not, for the most part, affect the quality of the fur.
|
|||
|
78 Compulsive movements, self-mutilation and symptoms of neurotic
|
|||
|
79 behavior are evident in many of these animals.
|
|||
|
80 The suffering entailed by strict confinement in small, wire
|
|||
|
81 cages is compounded by genetic manipulation of fur-bearing animals to
|
|||
|
82 produce variant or more "desirable" fur. This is evident in minks,
|
|||
|
83 who often suffer from abnormal spasms of the neck, and, in the case of
|
|||
|
84 females, contraction of the uterus, resulting in pain and high
|
|||
|
85 frequency of miscarriage in giving birth.
|
|||
|
86 Disease is also a common problem on fur ranches, as in factory
|
|||
|
008=Usr:0 Null User 06/30/87 20:34 Msg:0 Call:0 Lines:19
|
|||
|
87 farms, but to a greater degree, due in large part ot the stress
|
|||
|
88 resulting from intensive confinement. Unfortunately, there is less
|
|||
|
89 incentive to prevent and treat disease, as the edibility of the
|
|||
|
90 animal's flesh is not in question.
|
|||
|
91 Inhumane killing methods are yet another source of suffering
|
|||
|
92 on fur ranches. Furbearers are not protected by the federal Humane
|
|||
|
93 Slaughter Act. Methods commonly used to kill minks include the
|
|||
|
94 poison, strychnine, which causes the animals to suffocate; primitive
|
|||
|
95 electrocution in which the current does not pass through the brain,
|
|||
|
96 and hence causes acute suffering before death; and the use of uncooled and
|
|||
|
97 unfiltered carbon monoxide gas, which can cause severe burning and
|
|||
|
98 distress in the lungs.
|
|||
|
99
|
|||
|
100 PLEASE HELP!
|
|||
|
101 If you sympathise with the helpless animals being tortured and
|

102 slaughtered for the sake of fashion, please join SACA and TSU in doing

192 There is a method of losing fat that is used by virtually every body builder
|
|||
|
193 and many other professional atheletes. This method can purge your body of
|
|||
|
194 up to 50% of your body fat in just six days. The method is called loading
|
|||
|
195 and fasting and it works by changing the normal metabolic condition of burn-
|
|||
|
196 ing carbohydrates first and then burning protein and fat into burning fat
|
|||
|
197 first and then carbos. The term "loading and fasting" describes what your
|
|||
|
198 are doing to your carbohydrate count, not food in general. Here is a step
|
|||
|
199 by step explanation on how to do it:
|
|||
|
200 1) For the first two days take nothing but protein. Limit your fat and
|
|||
|
201 carbo intake to no more than 5 grams. Some ideal foods to eat are egg
|
|||
|
202 whites, tuna, black cod. Drink only water. Take vitamin B tablets.
|
|||
|
203 2) The third day, eat nothing. But take vitamin C tablets to prevent from
|
|||
|
204 getting sick. You will have to do a hardcore workout on this day. The
|
|||
|
205 workout should be at least 4 hours in length. Running, biking, weight-
|
|||
|
206 training will work well. Drink only water.
|
|||
|
207 3) The fourth day your body will have all carbos spent. This is a magic
|
|||
|
208 day. Your body will begin burning fat for fuel. Avoid protein on this
|
|||
|
209 day or it will cancel your efforts. Take in carbos only, no fat or
|
|||
|
210 protein. Your body will still burn fat but will store the carbos away
|
|||
|
211 for future supply. Note that this is the opposite of normal metabolism.
|
|||
|
212 4) For the next two days your body will continue to burn fat for energy
|
|||
|
213 instead of carbos. This is only if you avoid protein and fats and get
|
|||
|
019=Usr:0 Null User 06/30/87 20:34 Msg:0 Call:0 Lines:38
|
|||
|
214 all your calories from carbohydrates. Some recommended foods: Fruit
|
|||
|
215 and fruit juice, soft drinks, pasta.
|
|||
|
216 5) On the seventh day, your body may contain up to 85% surplus carbos.
|
|||
|
217 This is more than your body could normally hold and you will have great
|
|||
|
218 energy. Long distane runners often use "loading and fasting" starting
|
|||
|
219 seven days before a big race to give them energy levels otherwise
|
|||
|
220 impossible to obtain. On this day your body will revert back to normal
|
|||
|
221 metabolism and burn these carbohydrates for energy and store fat.

238 The meal with the monks of the monastastary was a quit one. I looked around
|

|
239 the table and noticed that many of the faces had passed from youth to
|

|
240 middle age. The monks had always celabrated th glories of the multi-verse.
|

|
241 But now there was an air in the room that made me realize that in a few

242 years the monks would no longer be celabrating.

384

385 I closed the Eye and opened my eyes.
|
|||
|
386
|
|||
|
387 I was "floating in outer space", with "millions of twinkling lights".
|
|||
|
388
|
|||
|
389 Then I noticed a sound near the door. Almost like a large mole was
|
|||
|
390 going by. Could someone have checked a room out?
|
|||
|
391
|
|||
|

|
|||
|
392 This would have to wait. I snapped my fingers, and the "Outer Space"
|
|||
|
393 surrondings were replaced by the White Room, small, plain room with
|
|||
|
394 1 door. The "Outer Space" was an illusion created for my entertainment.
|
|||
|
395 That, plus it helps set the mood for meditation. I could create any
|
|||
|
396 surroundings I wished; a war zone, a glade with a waterfall nearby, the
|
|||
|
397 surface of Mars, anything. The effect was good for the size of the room-
|
|||
|
398 after that, you hit the walls. I liked my private room.
|
|||
|
399
|
|||
|
400 Floating down stairs, I asked JT to reserve a room for Friar,
|
|||
|
401 several dimensions from now.
|
|||
|
402
|
|||
|
403 The Eye had reveiled a time stream. (Why not,) I thought, (I do
|
|||
|
404 need to step out and look around...)
|
|||
|
405
|
|||
|
406 I re-opened the Eye and moved accross dimensions, many of which were
|
|||
|
407 small, but a few were turbulent. Probably from the wormhole leading to
|
|||
|
408 the Gateway. Seems as if I have some fine-tuneing to do...
|
|||
|
409
|
|||
|
410 As I closed the Eye, I appeared in front of Friar, Kurfur, & Wonderer.

593 Two others arrived, strangers, but my previous masters reared in my head,

594 reminding me that all people are people, and stranger is a word for someone
|
|||
|
595 whom you have not met until now. I smiled, and rotated to greet them.
|
|||
|
596
|
|||
|
597 Rayall, Kaitlyn, welcome to Friar's quest. I am Hagbard Celine, resident
|
|||
|
598 Guru & patron of the Inn. Come, tell us how you live - I would like to know
|
|||
|
599 you better as friends. What do you do best? And what would you like to
|
|||
|
600 eat along the way? Oh, and don't feel too ill-at-ease around Wonderer or I,
|
|||
|
601 as we periodically do things that are unsightly. Wonderer possesses Magik of
|
|||
|
602 his own teaching; I possess an Elightened Mind, which allows me to alter my
|
|||
|
603 reality. Kurfur is a powerful adversary with any foe, for he uses the
|
|||
|
604 Beserkergang. Friar is a special case - he blends the powers of all three,
|
|||
|
605 but to a lesser degree -and I'm sure he has more that he hasn't shown to us
|
|||
|
606 yet. All of us are dimension travellers, old and new. Where this time
|
|||
|
607 flow is, I do not know.
|
|||
|
608
|
|||
|
609 Friar, I've made reservations at the Inn upon your return. I think you
|
|||
|
610 should consider becoming a patron - Wonderer and Kurfur are both patrons,
|
|||
|
611 as well as I. The Inn has been moved, and slightly(?) modified. But this
|
|||
|
612 is for the journey home - I should concentrate on the task at hand.
|
|||
|
613
|
|||
|
614 (You old fart! Your mind is wanderering again! Do you not remember what
|
|||
|
615 it cost you and your friends on the last adventure? Be aware of your
|
|||
|
616 surroundings, least you attract the Dark Ones to your mindlessness!) and
|
|||
|
617 my mind stopped screaming to itself, and gave forgiveness, for my inner
|
|||
|
618 self must be whole if I was to continue to alter my surroundings. It was
|
|||
|
619 the one weakness that could destroy me with ease - and the mark of a human.
|
|||
|
620
|
|||
|
621 Kurfur, it's good to have you around again! I thought you were at the
|
|||
|
622 Inn, nursing that Keg of Mead. Where did you go? - I was distracting
|
|||
|
623 myself in the White Room, allowing for a rest from my Structural Work around
|
|||
|
624 the Inn...
|
|||
|
625
|
|||
|
626 Wonderer, how did your quest turn out? Did you find what you were
|
|||
|
627 seeking?
|
|||
|
628
|
|||
|
629 And so "the talk" began, which would eventually lead to "the adventure".

634 Hi! I'm a little out of breath but I will tell you a bit about myself.
|
|||
|
635 I'm just a little kid(about 18) who happens to be a history gypsy. See
|
|||
|
636 most gypsies can tell the future, but I believe I'm cursed to tell only
|
|||
|
637 the past. So due to my condition, I left the gypsy camp and set about wanderin
|
|||
|
638 No one seems to want anyone who can name all the presidents, but I have
|
|||
|
639 learned in my wanderings several languages, and a small amount of magic,
|
|||
|
640 so I'll be happy to donate my skills to the quest.
|
|||
|
641 Oh, well, I'll unload my history crystal ball and be back later!

655 Kaitlyn stood and observed, for the first (and the last, she hoped)

656 time, a guru doing summersalts in a sideways direction. I was laughing so
|

657 hard, I lost my shape and colapsed into a sphere. Haveing laughing object

658 that look like, well, compressed people, can, well, disturb you.

659
|

|
660 Momentarily regaining some of my shape, I oozed (sorry Kurfur, I know

661 how you hate it when I'm liquid) some words out:

662
|

|
663 "Young?!?!?? HeeHeeHooHooHaHaHahahahahahahaaha! Don't be a stranger!
|

|
664 Most of us are not exactly "ancient"! I do believe," regaining my orginal
|
|||
|
665 'floating man-in-robes' shape "the average age here is in the lower twenties
|
|||
|
666 (correct me if I'm wrong, folks). Jeez, I'm barely 20! Was 19 when I
|
|||
|
667 arrived here!"
|
|||
|
668
|
|||
|
669 "Don't be upset by my laughter - it's just, well, funny! I never thought
|
|||
|
670 of myself as "mature" or "older". Eighteen isn't that bad - in fact, I think
|
|||
|
671 it's great! Brings some good (and bad) memories back from a "recent" time!
|

672 A toast!" with several stiens of mead appearing "to your youth and good
|

|
673 outlook! May it never leave you, and may it be stronger when you need it!"
|
|||
|
674 (Yup, Kurfur, your stien is slightly larger - but not too large. We need you
|
|||
|
675 to at least stay awake). "Friar! My good friend, methinks it time to
|
|||
|
676 have a small feast. If you need more than what you have at the moment, I
|
|||
|
677 would be glad to assist you, and I'm sure Wonderer will be able to help
|
|||
|
678 with the feast as well! There lies a long, trecherous journey ahead, so

679 let us make merry for this short time, and then set forth in search of our

706 So saying, I squeezed the bottom corners of the pouch and drew the

709 sauce, and assorted fruits and vegetables.

711 find them floating in the shade of that tree. No, in the air.

712 They're easier to move that way."

713 "Well gents and ladies? Since Kurfur appears to have been at the
|

714 mead already, is anyone interested in the details of the quest we
|

715 are on? I cn't say all of the details of what will happen, I can

|

745 ------- I had finally found a Wizard that had agreed to let me be
|
|||
|
746 ------- an aprentice. After a couple of weeks I was settled in to
|
|||
|
747 ------- a routine of chores, studies, physical trianing and weaponry.
|
|||
|
748 ------- Yeah I know... However as it was pounded into my head after each
|
|||
|
749 ------- long day of exshusting work, "A GOOD wizard does not rely solely
|
|||
|
750 ------- upon Magik". At which point I would fall asleep listening to a
|
|||
|
751 ------- lenghty adventure that illustrated the saying.
|
|||
|
752 ------- Anyhow, after two weeks, the Wizard packed several bag, pointed
|
|||
|
753 ------- to a small red sphere and said, "If anything happens to me that
|
|||
|
754 ------- globe will glow bright red. It is very doutfull but just in case
|
|||
|
755 ------- take that sword, and find another Wizard." After saying this he
|

756 ------- levatated the bags, himself and disappeared into the sky.
|
|||
|
757 ------- After a few days the globe started gloig a bright red. I took
|
|||
|
758 ------- the sword down from its wall mount and the globe flared a very
|
|||
|
759 ------- blinding red. I was standing in the forest where the Wizard's
|
|||
|
760 ------- house used to be, holding a sword, looking puzzled and somewhat
|
|||
|
761 ------- sad. All I could take was a few days of scavaging in the forest
|
|||
|
762 ------- for food. I counted my gold coins so I could visit as many inn
|
|||
|
763 ------- as possible to look for adventure. The last inn was where I heard

764 ------- about your quest. So I ran to catch up and here I am...

847 of the Inn is transendental. Also, please becareful that you don't did

848 too far, least you hit the gravity berble7s walls. If you did so, it would
|
|||
|
849 be the equivenent of you trying to dig through a one-ton slab of steel.

863 As I have said in the past, Wonderer, yes, Backwater is a very special
|
|||
|
864 place, especially when you wish to escape for a short time, to experience
|
|||
|
865 something different, or to enjoy a good story (for free, no less!), or
|
|||
|
866 to0learn something new about that debated subject you try to keep from
|
|||
|
867 talking about. Backwater, in its own simple way, provides the most in
|
|||
|
868 thought from the least in complexity and "support" (by that I mean message
|
|||
|
869 services, upload/download, qnd qll of the `other' fancy features you would
|
|||
|
870 find on other boards). Even when I don't feel like writing, backwater is
|

|
871 always there, a close friend nomatter what time of day.

879 Ah a feast! Food for thought I guess as well. The wonderer sat at the table
|
|||
|
880 eating thoughtfully. Visions of past adventures flew through his mind. What
|
|||
|
881 hat evub happened to man with the tub? Perhaps he had been sent somewere
|
|||
|
882 out of touch with the inn or had lost it in the big move.
|
|||
|
883
|
|||
|
884 The wonderer added his call to the many that had come before. "Service with
|
|||
|
885 a smile" was the text of it.
|
|||
|
886
|
|||
|
887 Meaning and intent are often hard to connect he thought. "Pass me another
|
|||
|
888 apple if you would" he said to the people at the other end of the table.
|
|||
|
889
|
|||
|

948 The Inn was very quiet. Nothing had really happened until this point.
|

|
949 Sudde~ly,0a humming began to fill the establishment, but it was quiet
|
|||
|
950 enough that most of the visitors never
|

|
951 heard it. Without warning, a large
|
|||
|
952 blue light began to twist and pulsate.
|

|
953 Small stars danced around it, and a
|

|
954 faint whispebyng qccompanied their motion.

955 The only person who noticed this was a large guru in the southeastern
|

|
956 corner. His head rose from his Tome of Knowledge and watched as a bedraggled
|
|||
|
957 individual collapsed through the portal.
|

|
958 0He 8dhe new visitor) was a large, tall man, wearing leather armor. A
|
|||
|
959 leather pouch was connected to his belt, and a large staff was in his left hand
|

|
960 . His clothes beneath the armor were torn and raggad, and the cloak was full
|

|
961 of holes>

96" "Greetings," he gasped, as a glass of mead was tossed flawlessly to where

963 he was lying. "My name is Rayall, and ... by the way... Any moment now several
