  We don't need a psychic to tell us that you're giving off a Turquoise vibe. Turquoise types are often intelligent, energetic leaders. Vibrant and dynamic, you take center stage wherever you go; people are naturally drawn in by your charismatic nature. You love to learn, and you excel at remembering facts and figures. More than likely, you're a go-getter with your eyes on the prize. Respect and influence tend to come to you easily, but that doesn't mean you sit around waiting for them. What fun is achieving something if getting there isn't a challenge? Always pushing your limits, you'd be a natural on Survivor — a healthy competitive instinct and a willingness to take risks means you usually reach your goals. You like to look, feel, and act your best; if all those ducks are in a row, nothing's gonna get in your way.

  Mmm ... pink grapefruit! Sweet and tart at the same time, you're bursting with sun-kissed goodness. If you were a song, you'd be "It's a Sunshine Day" by the Brady Bunch — you're just that perky and refreshing. That's not to say that you don't have an edge — quite the contrary. In fact, a little bit of sugar (aka gifts, praise, and other goodies) can always bring out your naturally sweet flavor. But when it comes down to it, you prefer folks who can match you in strength and independence. Luckily, that kind of attitude is appealing, so you always have 'em wanting more. Citrusy, tangy, and a little exotic, you're a truly tasty treat.

  GAINESVILLE, Fla. (Reuters) - Left your clothes and inhibitions behind to let it all hang out at a nudist resort?

  The naked truth is that you might strip off but you can't strip away social customs, a Florida researcher has found.

  People at nudist resorts tend to behave similarly to the way they do in the outside world: with the usual sexual hang-ups, social distinctions and gossip about weight, breast enlargements and the size of personal endowments, said Ellen Woodall of the University of Florida in Gainesville.

  "It is rather like life with clothes on," Woodall, who studied the nudist movement in the United States for her master's thesis in anthropology, told Reuters on Thursday.

  While nudists often think of themselves as progressive, the practice of nudism fails to live up to its ideal that everyone will be treated the same, regardless of social standing or body shape, Woodall said.

  Woodall, who herself has practiced nudism for 15 years, spent two summers as a housekeeper at a nudist resort as part of her two-year study of nudist resorts, which have evolved into a sizable business from idealistic and counter-cultural beginnings about 70 years ago.

  "I observed the formation of cliques, men commenting on or joking about the obesity of certain women, women giggling about the size of a man's genitals, sexual comments and harassment -- all activities one might commonly witness of larger society," she said.

  Woodall also said that while women are told looks don't count at nudist resorts, and seek a refuge from idealized Hollywood images that women often find depressing, they are then exposed at such camps to nudist art depicting only so-called perfect figures.

  Woodall also said that while nudism evolved from the 1920s in the United States as an alternative movement where everyone pitched in with money and labor to build resorts, it was hardly counter-cultural any more, with annual revenues at resorts estimated at around $400 million.

  Whatever its aspirations to social openness, the nudist movement also tends to involve white, middle class, educated people. "Participants are by no means a cross-section of American society," she said.

  "People participate in nudism because they find it liberating, but it's very firmly located in the mainstream."

  LAGOS (Reuters) - A Nigerian Muslim sharia court has sentenced a nursing mother to death by stoning after she was convicted of adultery, a Nigerian newspaper reported on Friday.

  The court in Sokoto state in northern Nigeria convicted Safiya Hussaini for adultery and ordered she be stoned to death once she has finished weaning her baby, state-owned Daily Times newspaper said.

  The court acquitted Yakubu Abubakar whom Hussaini said made her pregnant. She has 30 days to appeal the sentence.

  Sokoto government officials were not immediately available for comment. Sokoto is one of more than a dozen states in predominantly Islamic northern Nigeria which have proclaimed sharia law.

  Multi-ethnic Nigeria is bitterly divided over sharia law, which was first adopted by Zamfara state in 1999.

  Hundreds of people were killed in 2000 in bouts of Christian-Muslim bloodletting after some northern states adopted sharia law.

  Hussaini, a housewife, was not put in custody but was told she had to present herself on the appropriate date for execution.

  "If she fails to do so, the police and the general public will be used to bring her to court," the Daily Times quoted presiding judge Mohammed Sanyinnawal as saying.

  A court in Zamfara state last year acquitted a man who impregnated a teenage girl. She was sentenced to caning.

  Rights groups describe sharia court sentences as barbaric and a violation of fundamental human rights.
