SCORPIO OVERVIEW
march

There are times when you feel as if a fight is calling you to join in. The 1st and 2nd could be just those kinds of days, when your senses pick up on a rumble and your 'I want to jump in there' instinct clicks. What do you do next? Your modus operandi might be to throw a proverbial punch or two, but this month, try something different. Instead of venting your aggression, why not check out what its source is? Heck, maybe you could make a change or two for the better. The 8th and 9th are fantastic days to get what you want -- whether it's emotional resolution or a job promotion (or both). On the 14th, do somebody (maybe yourself?) a favor. You're in fitter, finer and more fantastic form than you have been in a long time on the 18th and 19th -- great! On the 25th, why not implement some new ideas? The afternoon of the 30th and all day long on the 31st, do your best to be open


romantic

On the 3rd and 4th, a romantic relationship -- or a potential romantic relationship -- may disrupt your weekend. Are you thinking about this person so much that you can't concentrate? Or are you getting to know them and having a few personality clashes? Maybe you already know them and you're still clashing? Whichever it is, it may be a good sign for things to come. Really! On the 9th and10th, you get what you want, and if what you want is them, they will likely be more than happy to deliver. You might have trouble with a romantic decision on the 15th. Take a time-out and think about where some of your emotional ambivalence is coming from. And yes, you should probably go all the way back to your kindergarten days, if not earlier. On the 20th and 21st, you may take an intense romantic risk. If you do, your cutie should be suitably impressed (if they're not, they may be kind of lame). On the 25th, stay open-minded. Then, on the 31st, tune in to your internal clock radio's 'relationship' channel. What's playing?

career


If you notice you're having a few health issues on the 1st and 2nd -- achy back, stiff neck, headache, trouble digesting -- it's probably tension-related. It means it's time to look into a little stress relief. This month, welcome the beginning of spring with a new commitment to your health. And don't go saying you don't have time! Whatever time you take out of your day to work on your health will boost your productivity, guaranteed. On the 7th, be particularly careful with whatever you're up to at work. Sloppiness is a real no-no! On the 13th and 14th, go ahead and make some far-reaching plans for your career's future. By the 19th, you start seeing some unexpected -- and pretty fantastic -- results (already!). On the 23rd, if there's a contract coming your way, feel free to put your John Hancock in big, bold ink at the bottom. On the 28th, a creative day yields to an afternoon in which you take time to really appreciate how much better life has gotten since you've started being more active and exercising

youth of the nations...

i tink most ppl would have know the governmnet has implemented this "spotcheck" on youths below 17 found loiterin around late at night

those found loitering or "prone to crimes" will have particulars taken down and a letter will be sent to their parents

it sounds good BUT i wonder if the letters will ever reach their parents
the youngsters can just "waylay" the letters BEFORE it ever get to their parents..

strait times' news crew did a random check at a few neighbourhood places and some shoppin centres and saw several groups of youths sittin around
most of them just chattin BUT some were drinkin AND smokin and bein a nuisance
like jeerin or whistlin at passerbys

its because ppl like this cause the government to implement such plans ..
i'm not against youths gatherin late at night BUT it must be DECENT

youths smokin and drinkin thinkin they are on top of the world
think they are all so cool
havin the attitude " this is my right i can do watever stuff and whenever i wan "

i cant stand youngsters smokin esp gals
WAT THE HELL ARE THEY THINKIN OF ?
cool ? NONSENSE
its EXTREMELY UGLY TO ME
i mean if u are older and smoke due to social reasons or somethin i can understand or accept
but to smoke cause u think its cool or due to peer pressure ?tats lame

i tink i am gonna be whacked ! hahahahahah
but i say watever i like
dun like it dun read my post

oh well .. watever i say wun make a diff anyway
just rambling
cause my area always have alot of ppl loiterin around
way past midnight
most are there for chit chat sessions
but it gets freaky somtimes when u know some of the groups are up to no good
esp when a whole bunch of guys turn to look at u wahahaha

youngsters and their freedom .. i feel they are "exploiting their given rights instead"
they are askin for too much that they can hold responsible to...

i am not sayin all those who loiter are bad influence.. just be careful .. and be smart
if not i wun be surprise to read in the papers

"petty crimes and abortion rate on the rise among youths..."

You were almost a: Monkey or a Pony

and lets just put this episode behind us

Wednesday, February 22, 2006

i'm disappointed .....
this mornin i was readin the papers when a segment caught my eye ... well.. to say caught is an understated ..
a small segment GRABBED my attention ..

i tink most of us would have known by now there's a sex video being circulated around forums both local and foreign....
a sex video of a gal in NYP and her bf...

my freakin goodness .. wats the world coming to.. i know the world around me is gettin more liberal and open ..

but to be open to this extend!!
takin pics in the nude or recordin your sex videos

if u are married or those MATURED enough ?i believe.. i think u are still in the "correct" state of mind to do those .. cause by then u are fully responsible and knows fully well the consequences wat these "sex videos" will bring
watever u do by then will be your own doin .. your own rights .. in your own privacy...for your own viewin pleasure
i know some mag will considerin this as "spicin up your sex life "

but this is just a sch goin gal!!
if any of u gals out there who had recorded such videos
did u use your HEAD to think wat are the guys actually doin with the videos?
u tink they so INNOCENT or "SELFISH" to keep for own personal viewing
I BET ALOT OF GUYS ARE SHOWIN TO THEIR MATES THEIR CONQUESTS
if u have recorded such things .. i hoped after viewin it MAKES SURE it gets deleted OUT OF EXISTENCE

and an alarmin trend verified by a few teachers..
" they caught alot of students with naked pics of women, gfs and home-made videos...
even some gals involved in those photos doesnt seem to be concerned abt it cause they viewed it as artistic......."

i know i got pissed off for nothin cause it doesnt concern me..
i just cant take this lyin down ... need to shoutout ..

damn..
and the amusin thing i found ppl doin are..
they will say somethin like "tat poor gal.. why the authorities only name her .. and not her bf..etc ? its embarassin enough .. " "she's now sufferin the consequences.."etc etc
then they will continue .. "can anyone PM me the link?"
WTF?
pity the gal still wan to see the video..

i know humans are curious creatures BUT it is better to curb this curiousity for the sake of UPHOLDIN the MODESTY of the gal involved .. imagine u seen it then u saw the gal on the streets .. i hope u dun blurt out "U ARE THE ONE IN THE VIDEO!"

the gal is now undergoin counsellin ..
the parents have been contacted ..

from the forum i am in ... ppl who had seen it said "she appears to look unwillin in the video"


i feel so sorry for the gal ..
damn..
i feel so agitated now
kinda still cranky due to sleep not fully compensated yet .....
if i suddenly konk out or talk incoherently pls ignore me or forgive me
lol
i tink i'm more talkative when i am half asleep
becomin PR of lala land already :X

my night out with a colleague in pics


soup place at raffles place
full-bodied soup
clam chowder mmm~

this article caught my attention ..
hope u read thru and think abt it


Churches urged to back evolution
By Paul Rincon BBC News science reporter, St Louis

Charles Darwin's theory of evolution is widely accepted by scientistsUS scientists have called on mainstream religious communities to help them fight policies that undermine the teaching of evolution.
The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) hit out at the "intelligent design" movement at its annual meeting in Missouri.

Teaching the idea threatens scientific literacy among schoolchildren, it said.
Its proponents argue life on Earth is too complex to have evolved on its own.
As the name suggests, intelligent design is a concept invoking the hand of a designer in nature.
It's time to recognise that science and religion should never be pitted against each other
Gilbert OmennAAAS president

There have been several attempts across the US by anti-evolutionists to get intelligent design taught in school science lessons.

At the meeting in St Louis, the AAAS issued a statement strongly condemning the moves.
"Such veiled attempts to wedge religion - actually just one kind of religion - into science classrooms is a disservice to students, parents, teachers and taxpayers," said AAAS president Gilbert Omenn.

"It's time to recognise that science and religion should never be pitted against each other.
"They can and do co-exist in the context of most people's lives. Just not in science classrooms, lest we confuse our children."
'Who's kidding whom?
'

Eugenie Scott, director of the National Center for Science Education, which campaigns to keep the teaching of evolution in public schools, said those in mainstream religious communities needed to "step up to the plate" in order to prevent the issue being viewed as a battle between science and religion.

Parents in Dover, Pennsylvania, won a court battle over evolution Some have already heeded the warning.
"The intelligent design movement belittles religion. It makes God a designer - an engineer," said George Coyne, director of the Vatican Observatory.
"Intelligent design concentrates on a designer who they do not really identify - but who's kidding whom?"

Last year, a federal judge ruled in favour of 11 parents in Dover, Pennsylvania, who argued that Darwinian evolution must be taught as fact.

Dover school administrators had pushed for intelligent design to be inserted into science teaching. But the judge ruled this violated the constitution, which sets out a clear separation between religion and state.

Despite the ruling, more challenges are on the way.
Fourteen US states are considering bills that scientists say would restrict the teaching of evolution.

These include a legislative bill in Missouri which seeks to ensure that only science which can be proven by experiment is taught in schools.
I think if we look at where the empirical scientific evidence leads us, it leads us towards intelligent design

Teacher Mark Gihring"The new strategy is to teach intelligent design without calling it intelligent design," biologist Kenneth Miller, of Brown University in Rhode Island, told the BBC News website.

Dr Miller, an expert witness in the Dover School case, added: "The advocates of intelligent design and creationism have tried to repackage their criticisms, saying they want to teach the evidence for evolution and the evidence against evolution."
However, Mark Gihring, a teacher from Missouri sympathetic to intelligent design, told the BBC: "I think if we look at where the empirical scientific evidence leads us, it leads us towards intelligent design.

"[Intelligent design] ultimately takes us back to why we're here and the value of life... if an individual doesn't have a reason for being, they might carry themselves in a way that is ultimately destructive for society."
Economic risk
The decentralised US education system ensures that intelligent design will remain an issue in the classroom regardless of the decision in the Dover case.
"I think as a legal strategy, intelligent design is dead. That does not mean intelligent design as a social movement is dead," said Ms Scott.

Bush said students ought to hear different schools of thought"This is an idea that has real legs and it's going to be around for a long time. It will, however, evolve."

Among the most high-profile champions of intelligent design is US President George W Bush, who has said schools should make students aware of the concept.

But Mr Omenn warned that teaching intelligent design would deprive students of a proper education, ultimately harming the US economy.

"At a time when fewer US students are heading into science, baby boomer scientists are retiring in growing numbers and international students are returning home to work, America can ill afford the time and tax-payer dollars debating the facts of evolution," he said.

Your IQ score is:
129

You scored 129 on Tickle's IQ test. This means that based on your answers, your IQ score is between 119 and 129. Most people's IQs are between 70 and 130.
In fact, 95% of all people have IQs within that range. 68% of people score between 80 and 120. The following chart to your right, shows these percentages and where your IQ score is on that scale.Print your Certificate of Intellectual Achievement. There's more to intelligence than a single number, a single score or a single label. Tickle uses four distinguishable Intelligence Scales in the Ultimate IQ Test. By analyzing your individual scores on those four scales, we are able to look beyond the raw IQ score into how you process information and thereby determine your Intellectual Type.

How do you relate to other IQ test takers?


Your Intellectual Type Is:


You have a strong ability to process visual-spatial and mathematical information. These skills combined with your strengths in logic are what make you a Visual Mathematician. You're able to understand patterns visually and in numbers. That means your mind can create a mental picture for any problem. In addition to that skill, you possess an intelligence that allows you to apply math to that picture, too. That helps you manipulate multiple parts of the picture (or problem) to come up with a solution.

You have many skills that are critical to success and problem-solving. Your talents help you understand the "big picture," which is partly why people may turn to you for direction — especially in the workplace. You flourish in environments where tasks are clearly defined, and you are a whiz at improving processes and making things more efficient. Your ability to detect patterns and your skills in math and logic, make it natural for you to come up with ideas and theories that simplify processes for everyone. Outside of work, Visual Mathematicians tend to do well at strategic activities like chess. It must be that ability to recognize patterns — both as they are and how they develop. Regardless of how you put your mind to use, you've got a great set of talents. You will be able to envision a clear path and calculate the risks, and more importantly, the rewards, of anything you take on.

Great Jobs For You
Because of the way you process information, these are just some of the many careers in which you could excel:

Physicists
Chess player
City planner
Astronomer
Physicists
Mathematician
Researcher

Some of Your Greatest Talents

You've got tons of strengths. It wouldn't surprise us if you:

Can give practical application to abstract thought
Can predict patterns
Are resourceful & practical
Envision the "big picture"
anchornav('scales');


Your 4 Intelligence ScalesNow let's look at the factors that contribute to you being a Visual Mathematician with a 129 IQ score. Based on the results of your test, Tickle divided your scores into four distinguishable dimensions — mathematical intelligence, visual-spatial intelligence, linguistic intelligence and logic intelligence.

Here's how each of your intelligence scores break down: Mathematical Intelligence

Your Mathematical Percentile'

Your Mathematical PercentileYou scored in the 100th percentile on the mathematical intelligence scale.This means that you scored higher than 90% - 100% of people who took the test and that 0% - 10% scored higher than you did. The scale above illustrates this visually. Your mathematical intelligence score represents your combined ability to reason and calculate. You scored relatively high, which means you're probably the one your friends look to when splitting the lunch bill or calculating your waitresses' tip. You may or may not be known as a math whiz, but number crunching might come a little easier to you than it does others. This is the kind of question that helped to determine your mathematical intelligence score: A boy is 4 years old and his sister is three times as old as he is. When the boy is 12 years old, how old will his sister be? 16, 20, 24, 28, 32. answer: 20.The sister is (3 )three times older than her (4) four-year-old brother. Three times 4 is 12, in other words, when he is four, she is 12. Twelve years old is 8 years older than 4 years old, which makes her 8 years older than him. This never changes. Therefore, when he is 12, she is still 8 years older, or 12+8=20.

Flexing Your Math Muscles
Like anything, keeping or improving your math talents requires practice. Here are some everyday mental exercises that could be particularly helpful to you:
Balancing your checkbook
Figuring out your monthly budget
Predicting what the change will be the next time you buy something
Calculating your waitperson's tip in your head Visual-Spatial Intelligence

Your Visual-Spatial Percentile

Your Visual-Spatial PercentileYou scored in the 100th percentile on the visual-spatial intelligence scale.This means that you scored higher than 90% - 100% of people who took the test and that 0% - 10% scored higher than you did. The scale above illustrates this visually. The visual-spatial component of intelligence measures your ability to extract a visual pattern and from that envision what should come next in a sequence. Your score was relatively high, which could mean that you're the one navigating the map when you're on an outing with friends. You have, in some capacity, an ability to think in pictures. Maybe this strength comes out in subtle ways, like how you play chess or form metaphors. Here's the type of question that contributed to your visual-spatial intelligence score:
is to
as
is to

Answer:
The answer lies in recognizing not only the visual sequence of a square and then a line, but in the recognizing the solidity of the line in the first example and the broken quality of the line in the second example.
Vision Quest
Like anything, keeping or improving visual-spatial talents requires some practice. Here are some everyday mental exercises that will be particularly helpful to you:
Playing chess, or video games like Tetris
Studying maps and become the navigator on your next trip

Sculpting or photography Linguistic Intelligence

Your Linguistic Percentile

Your Linguistic PercentileYou scored in the 80th percentile on the linguistic intelligence scale.This means that you scored higher than 70% - 80% of people who took the test and that 20% - 30% scored higher than you did. The scale above illustrates this visually. Linguistic abilities include reading, writing and communicating with words. Tickle's test measures knowledge of vocabulary, ease in completing word analogies and the ability to think critically about a statement based on its semantic structure. Your score was relatively high, which could mean you know your way around a bookstore and maybe like to bandy about the occasional 25-cent word to impress friends. Here's the type of question that contributed to your linguistic intelligence scale score: Inept is the opposite of:Answer: Skillful. The answer is derived by prior knowledge that "inept" means "unskillful" (Oxford Concise Dictionary).

Word Power

Like anything, keeping or improving linguistic talents requires some practice. Here are some everyday mental exercises that will be particularly helpful to you:
Doing crossword puzzles
Start reading just for fun
Befriending your dictionary
The next time something breaks, try reading the instruction book first

Logical Intelligence

Your Logical Percentile'

Your Logical PercentileYou scored in the 90th percentile on the logical intelligence scale.This means that you scored higher than 80% - 90% of people who took the test and that 10% - 20% scored higher than you did. The scale above illustrates this visually. Tickle's logical intelligence questions assess your ability to think things through. The questions determine the extent to which you use reasoning and logic to determine the best solution to a problem. Your logic score was relatively high, which could mean that when the car breaks down, your friends look to you to help figure out not only what's wrong, but how to fix it and how you're going to get to the next gas station. Here's the kind of question that contributed to your logical intelligence score: If some Wicks are Slicks and some Slicks are Snicks, then some Wicks are definitely Snicks. Answer: FalseThe statement is false because while some Wicks might be Slicks, there is no conclusive proof that any of them might be Snicks.
