Num 104

i've been trying to read some journals and books for my FYP the whole night n my brain is totally fried...

i can't seem to process most of the sentences coz they're written in a way that goes on for miles and miles....
like this for instance.....

"A high proportion of the blunders in diagnosis of conservation problems within the declining-population paradigm can be traced directly to faulty scientific method: equating association and correlation with causality, failing to identify and cut through confounding of factors, failing to replicate, failing to balance, failing to control. Most of this springs from a creed that the rules of design, and the analyses appropriate to them, might have a place within the pages of a scientific journal, but can be dispensed with by practical people solving practical problems. A highly recommended antidote to that derangement is Underwood's (1990) paper on the logic of experiments in ecology and management. The squeamish will be relieved to hear that it contains no equations.”
G. Caughley (1994) J. An. Ecol.

can u enlighten me on the statement above?? lolz....'a highly recommended antidote to that derangement is...." hahahaha...y would he use words like this...for god's sake just say "a solution to this would be...." hahaha....also "the squemish will be relieved...." >.<" y la??? i bet the squemish will not be relieved after reading that... i started the night feeling optimistic and now i'm =.=" no longer in the mood to read....

anyways, to distract myself, i'm gonna put up a pic of an eye candy for u girls out there.....

yup, that's hottie kellan lutz aka emmett cullen with his dog, Kola....

yes, don't buy and please adopt instead.....

ppl these days prefer miniature toy dogs or pure breed dogs just coz they're 'cooler' and cuter. even me n my family are guilty for buying Chloe....but that was 4 years ago, we didn't know any better....

do u know how bad the conditions are at the puppy mills?? those idiotic dog breeders do not care abt the dogs' welfare and health....all they care abt is breeding them for money!!! also, if u or someone u know plans to breed their own dog and to sell off the puppies for some extra cash, then shame on u as well....

if u continue to buy dogs from petshops or from any of ur friends, please think twice....this is because there are tons of dogs out there at the streets or the pounds waiting for a home...most of these dogs are waiting to be euthanized or are slowly suffering to death at the city pound... SPCA and PETA are trying to make a difference...but their efforts are in vain as most ppl don't even bother about mongrel dogs....=( stupid human mentality....

like these mixed mongrels at the Klang Dog Pound...the ones in the first picture was killed on the 28/3 n the one below will be killed on 14/4....

if that doesn't pull ur heart strings, then u must be really cruel...T.T

go to http://www.petfinder.my/ and look at the left side bar....the ones above are just only a handful of the hundreds of dogs waiting to be killed at the dog pound....save them, save lives...=(

i know i know, who am i to tell u wat to buy or not buy right? after all, i myself was guilty of buying a toy dog 4 years ago....but me n my family, we're making a difference by spaying Chloe... we know that we won't succumb to the cruel act of breeding our chloe just to earn some money n so to avoid her from getting 'unwanted' pregnancies, we spayed her last week...we also pledge to adopt dogs in the future instead of buying....

more people should spay n neuter their cats and dogs especially if they r often let out to run around the neighbourhood...just by that, we help reduce the amount of street dogs and cats who will eventually be caught and killed.....=(

seriously, i may sound like a hypocrite right now and u might think that i'm just saying this so that i can make myself sound like i'm very generous and all that...but i'm just speaking from the bottom of my heart....u can judge me but not those innocent dogs...=(
