What I was suspecting to happen looks real now. I was always thinking that Ethio and US will dismiss Abdulahi Yussuf and Ali Geedi since they are associated with the Mogadisho's bloodshed. We know Ethio and US want a stable Somalia with no elements of radicals. Though Abdulaahi and Geedi were used to do that job, but they sure are only radicalizing more Somalis and creating enmity between different Somali sectors. That is why US does not want either Abdulahi Yussuf or Geedi because their stay prolongs the lack of stability in Somalia. Now, I say to US: congratulations for the job well done. And I say to TFG supporters: keep your blue flags and support the new upcoming government for Somalia. Allah has answered the prayers of Mogadisho people and other Somalis who were innocent but were shelled indiscriminately. GOD BLESS SOMALIA; GOD BLESS SOMALILAND.

In an interview with the VOA/Somali, the US Assistant Secretary for African Affairs, Dr. Jendayi Fraser, says, "The leadership of the TFG needs to change" during the upcoming Somali reconciliation on June this year. She believes Abdulahi Yussuf's government will not be able to stand as a national goverment. What's your opinion about this new development? Who do you think will win the presidency during the June Somali reconciliation? VOA

In human genetics, Somali males with E3b1 cluster y lineages, >76%, suggests Somalis are closely related to the Oromos in Ethio. JB: How do you feel now, since we supposed to be from Oromos? To me, Uraago are closer to us.

I still laugh at myself when I was young, and believed that I descended from Arabs. But now I wonder whether I'm from Orommo or Tegre.

The Ring Thing We must have marriage. By W. Bradford Wilcox This Sunday, neighbors, husbands, and especially children should lift a glass to the mothers who have managed to get and stay married to the fathers of their children. For, despite the fact that single motherhood never seems to go out of style with the media, motherhood typically works best — for our nation’s neighborhoods, children, and even most moms — with a wedding ring . You will not read any of this in the New York Times, which seems to think sperm-donor-dads are just fine, but married mothers serve our nation’s neighborhoods, children, and even themselves better than any of the dizzying array of alternatives to married motherhood. This truth was abundantly clear to me after surveying the social-scientific literature on marriage and child well-being with 15 other family scholars for a recent report, Why Marriage Matters: Twenty-Six Conclusions from the Social Sciences. Article: The Ring Thing Now, if you're one of those lucky ones whose parents are still alive and together, you need to buy them rings and say thanks for staying together despite the difficulties. Thanks for staying together because of us, your loved ones.

It just amuses me to see such argument that "if Somalia is divisible so is Somaliland!" It is a cheap argument for a pro-union activist who believes that Somali union is 'sacred', to come back and suggest that Somaliland is divisible. Keep talking about your unionist arguments but leave Somaliland alone. Whether parts of Somaliland are happy or not should not concern you. We will deal with it peacefully Insha Allah. This kind of argument is as silly as the argument of the man who wanted to share his pair of shoes with another man. When the man refused, he said, "give me your shoes then." I know it is a terrible example, but so does the pro-union argument. We do not have time to entertain why Somalis have to fight or who is with Ethio or against or whatever problems you guys have, except pray for you. We are busy building and strenthening our institutions. We know what Ethio is interested to do: divide Somalia into another three small different countries. You guys invited Ethiopian army into Somalia to score a point, and do not tell me you did not know Ethio never wanted Somalia that was united.

Whoever reads the above pro-union arguments and other similar ones in SOL will understand why Somalilanders do not want to unite with their brethren in Somalia. Any Somalilander who still wants that union back either has no brain or has no choice of his own. But either way, I respect that. "My will shall shape the future. Whether I fail or succeed shall be no man's doing but my own. I am the force; I can clear any obstacle before me or I can be lost in the maze. My choice; my responsibility; win or lose, only I hold the key to my destiny." Elaine Maxwell That was just for to enlighten the masses!

^ Why start a thread when you cannot even handle simple questions or explain your contradicting views? Good SOL CITIZENS do not start a topic just to insult others with differing viewpoints. To comeback to your thread subject, Ethiopia has invaded Somalia to remove what they called "terrorist group" who were threat to its peace. What they did not tell you, and are planning now, is that the dream of 'united somalia' should never happen. Not only Somaliland will be left alone, but the rest of Somalia will be divided into three small independent countries who are pro-Ethio.

I love to have a wife who is happy doing hot dinners and tip-to-toe body massages. But the question is do I deserve that? In other words, am I doing the same and more for her?

I know you guys love Aussie, do they treat you well? Is it easy for you to get professional jobs? All I hear about Europe is a place where mainly professionals,especially immigrants, are forced to depend on handouts. I know this does not apply to all but the majority of those countries. My guess is that Aussie is different, right?

I am not either an Arab or kuwa la kora xenobiyaay. It is unfortunate when those of you who were raised in Western countries and enjoying freedom and good live start bad-mouthing West unfairly. They gave you shelter when you had none, and proper education too. Thank Allah for what you have and pray for those who improved your live too. You should see what kind of live Somalis have in their own country. How can you aknowledge the technological advancement of the Far East while you're ignoring the advancement of the West who were responsible for you to communicate on SOL. :confused:

The effect of multiple posting are as follows • makes other voices less visible(other topics are send to the next page by the multiple posters) • The site becomes a tool to advance a political agenda rather than a discussion site. Bokero, I do agree with you. They need to limit the number of topics an individual can post per day.

Intuition, That wouldn't work because no brother will attend those practice sessions just to kiss a cow. By the way, here we've sisters who want to volunteer to teach. I and JB will also volunteer to do it for ladies who wanna learn.

I need time to think about it.

Rooble interesting posts you have up here lately. Are you preparing for something? Hello Dear Intuition, I have been preparing for awhile.lool To be honest, I like to perfect everything that I do. This is the way it feels like to be with someone who do not know how: JB, brother I need to hire you as a consultant!

As a tax-exempt organisation, Somali Justice Advocacy Center, has to follow State and Federal laws. For example, 501 © 3 organizations "must be organized for religious, charitable, scientific, testing for public safety, literary, or educational purposes." And nothing else. Since Ali Samatar has been accused of human rights violations, it will be interesting to see if this tax-exempt organization has broken any State or federal laws. Though I do not mind certain public sector to raise funds for his defense, but a non-for-profit organization to use the tax payers money on people accused of human rights violations while ignoring those who suffered, is an insult to justice. It will be very interesting to see if the SJAC organization has broken any law. It is a case worth to watch.

Kimia, Come on dear, almost everything you and I have ever done was based on imitation. That is the way humans learn from each other. You just need to figure out which one is worth to imitate. I am sorry to say this, but the whole muslim world is lagging behind the Western countries in science and technology because we do not want to imitate the West. What we lacking is the good old common sense. ps. waxaan is lahaa kimia dhaxanta kasoo xaree. Hope u enjoy each other. Laakiin, you're older than me.

Those guys from Hargeysa get nothing on this woman. ^^just plain silly.

eddo cambaro, do not feel left out, you can even kiss with or without the artificial teeth. But, you need to follow the kissing guideline. Just kidding! ps. sorry I lost it, but I still like you.

Why would you read such a book, and do we need these steps for kissing ?? justice, I am afraid we need to perfect the art of kissing, since kissing is needed to have a healthy relationship. So, we need to learn more from the experts before we bleed each other from mouth to mouth crushes.

zafir, I agree with you 100%. I can't imagine love without kissing!

p.s. how odd, the ring before the bride/ groom is located lol funny world. xanthus, Though nothing is perfect, I want to be 'ready' when the moment is right. Roobleh, How is Qatar these days??? And is the big day coming??? the bride is located to the groom's left so she will be closer to his heart, I guess. You should know that, don't you watch Egyptian drama, they always talk about weddings. justice, Qatar is getting hot, and still small. I heard the bride stands on the left because weddings used to be like the Jerry Springer tv show where ex-boyfriends and other thugs used to rush to the stage where the bride and the groom are. And sometimes, a feuding family will bring group of 'wedding crashers' to rescue a captured bride and return to her family. Therefore, the groom stood to the right to keep his right hand free, in case he needs to fight. zafir, I like the idea of taking the bride to a deserted area for 'faramacesi.' DD, Dhaqan is not stationary, it is something that evolves over time.

How to Kiss: Six Steps to Perfect Kiss By Dr. Lovemore 1. Getting Cleared for Takeoff Key Elements: Eye Contact, Facial Expression It’s always best to avoid the ‘ambush’ kiss (although these can be exciting as your relationship progresses). By looking into your partner’s eyes, you will be not only sending the message that you like them and want to be closer to them, but you will be receiving messages as well. A warm, kind smile (even a slight smile is good, it doesn’t have to be BIG) is what you want to see and what you want your partner to see to get the green light. Just as important as the look on his/her face is where he or she is looking. 2. Final Instrument Check Key Elements: Closeness, Alignment, Physical Touch As you move closer to that magical kiss, you don’t want to be leaning forward awkwardly to get there. Not only will moving closer send signals to your partner, but you want your body to be in a comfortable position during the kiss, so you can enjoy every moment of it. You may want to actually touch the person just before the kiss. While a hand lightly on the face is a definite signal of intimacy, even holding hands combined with eye contact and a warm look can get your ‘flight’ confirmed. Just like taxiing onto the runway, you want to make sure you are aligned correctly at this point. 3. Down the Runway (Also known as the point of no return) Key Elements: Relaxed lips, Closed eyes - prepare for your feet to leave the ground! You won’t need the speed of a 747 to get off the ground. Move in slowly, so that you don’t end up embarrassingly banging heads, or lips. During step number two you made sure the two of you were aligned correctly, and now you can close your eyes as you’re just about to make contact. Your lips should be relaxed, not tightly pressed together. You want your partner to have the pleasant experience of feeling your lips softly against theirs, no matter whether you’re a guy or a girl. A First kiss isn’t a time for a guy to prove his strength, or machismo. Your lips should be recently moistened, but not wet. 4. Gaining Momentum Key Elements: Relaxed lips, Head tilt, Breathing As you are moving in, you can part your lips slightly just before contact. Keep your lips relaxed, tension-free jaw, the tongue in the hangar. Remember to keep the head tilted so both of you can still breathe comfortably (through your noses) on contact and as the perfect kiss is held. Prepare to savor every moment ... slowly, gently, easily... 5. We Have Liftoff! Key Elements: A Soft Touch and Gradual Adjustments Now you have first contact. For a first kiss, keep it sweet. Not too long and not wet. Be sure not to pull away too quickly or make any sudden movements. Savor. Savor. Savor. Often, people describe that first kiss in a relationship as falling into a slow motion movie. Enjoy the moment! It’s not critical here whether your upper and lower lip are aligned with theirs, you can be slightly above or below, and in future kisses, you’ll be able to experiment with different ‘flying’ styles! Mmmmmmm. PERFECT. 6. Cruising Altitude! Key Elements: Don’t rush things, Eye contact, Nonverbal messages (and verbal, too) As the Perfect Kiss ends, pull away slowly and make eye contact once again. That satisfied, warm smile will send all sorts of positive signals to your kissing partner. At this point, both of you could be feeling a little ‘light headed,’ rather than airsick. Enjoy the closeness, relax, and you can even finish the kiss with a warm embrace. “Houston, we have a problem" (uh oh) There are many ways that first kiss can go terribly wrong, but most are easily avoided. BEWARE: A. Moving too quickly Be careful not to startle the kissee - watch and wait for the signal to proceed If you aren't sensitive in your kissing, how empathetic and caring can you be about the rest of the realtionship... B. Wet, sloshy, squishy, fishy If you or the kissee need to wipe your lips, or chin, dry after the kiss - well, it wasn't 'perfect' was it? C. Smash-mouth smothering kiss of death Avoid the over-passionate, insensitive kiss that leaves the kissee gasping for air. D. Chapped, Cactus Lips There’s a delicate balance to lip moisture equation. The last thing you want to do is drool on your partner, but you definitely don't want to leave scars with crispy, chafed lips. E. Too much Tongue and Too Much, Too Soon Keep that tongue tucked away until you get the right signals, then apply with caution - later E. Dragon Breath A mint or two, breath saver, gum, spray - anything to get rid of gunk-mouth. F. Weak, Wobbly or Wooden Passionless Pecks The swoop in and bounce out kiss is simply meaningless - unless you want to impart a "let's just sort-of be friends" type of message. G. Smacking, Clacking Loud Kisses The old "clack and smack" kills romance in a flash.

Do you know that a bride marrying in the Church of England has to kiss the minister before kissing her groom. Imagine minister saying, "Now, I may kiss the bride." Mmmmwah, Mmmmwah... And on the day of wedding, a Hindu bride arrives at the ceremony wearing clothing from her parents. After wedding, she is dressed in clothing privided by her husband. In old Islamic custom, both the bride and groom painted each others hand with henna the night before the wedding. This was done so the bride and groom will know each other and bond. By the way, why the bride stands on the left while the groom stands on the right? Back to the topic, do you wear a wedding ring, and on which hand?
