  1. I don't know much about PhotoShop but you can do it from the registry manually or try this little freeware program. CCleaner cleans up the pc from the temporary files to registry to uninstalling unwanted programs. Go to the Tools button and choose it from the list then run the uninstaller. Hope that helps.
  2. ^When are you two going out again?
  3. ^You two are not advocating for promiscuous culture, I hope. What's wrong with obstinance?
  4. Why are they rushing you? You're still young too settle for Geeljire. Give it another 25 years. By then, you'd be lucky to fill número cuatro. Tell them to shut up. It's your life not theirs.
  5. Muslimkoo dhan Alle ha u naxariisto. You're not doing any favors when you link the marxuum's name or the life he lead to a cult group like SNM that's responsible for the death of innocent Somalis. Intaad dadka danbaajin laheydeen marxuumkana ducada u qoonsan laheydeen waxaa haboon inaad filthy-ga iyo politics aad wadataan dhican dhigtaan ood ka hor marisaan maskiinkaan geeriyooday and his hour of the most need. SNM mujaahid is oxymoron. Ever heard of these oxymoron terms, cold fire, hot ice, or terribly great.
  6. Ilaahey ha caafiyo. Walaalkeen wixii la awoodo ha loo gargaaro.
  7. ^LOL. Allow nimaan wax ogeen ha cadaabin. MMA & Xaniifa, labadiina warka intaad iska deysaan form-ka ma idiin soo diraa hadda? Unlike our brothers up north, Maakhir is not a country by itself. It's state within the country of Somalia. Maakhir mana ku dhalan maaalina ma arag balse waxaan aaminsanahy inay maanta dhaanto taan ku dhashay oo habeen iyo maalin balo isku cuneyso. Meeshaad ku kortay hadey halaq mareen noqontay, you gotta move on and embrace wixii Alle nafac kaa siiyo. I've heard good things about the place and I'm bound to pay a visit this summer IA. There you have it.
  8. Saudi Arabia is to retrain its 40,000 prayer leaders - also known as imams - in an effort to counter militant Islam. Details of the plan were revealed in the influential Saudi newspaper Al- Sharq al-Awsat. The plan is part of a wider programme launched by the Saudi monarch a few years ago to encourage moderation and tolerance in Saudi society. The ministry of religious affairs and new centre for national dialogue will carry out the training, the paper said. The centre was created five years ago to disseminate a moderate interpretation of Islamic tradition. There is growing awareness in Saudi society that security measures alone are not enough to counter the threat of Islamic militancy. Scepticism Saudi clerics have long been accused of encouraging Saudi youth to join global jihad and of inciting hatred of non-Muslims. Nearly 1,000 imams have already been sacked over the past few years. The Saudi royal family has come under increasing pressure - mainly from Washington - to change religious textbooks and to rein in militant clerics. But critics are sceptical about whether such initiatives would work as long as the powerful, and ultraconservative, religious establishment in Saudi Arabia continues to exert enormous influence over society. Only last week, a prominent cleric called for the beheading of two liberal writers who had questioned the orthodox view that Muslims can not change their religion. BBC
  9. ^Free speech is very well encouraged in Maakhir. Maakhir is for all Somalis. Our country can't be better if its people can't speak of truth and justice for all. Maakhir welcomes everyone's criticism.
  10. How you been Duke. Long time no see. Ma la fiicnoo. With all due respect sxb, these are not steps to peace and security. Nazi concentration camp in the making. Media lock down and military camps throughout the country to incarcerate any political opponent is a perfect recipe and dream came true for tyrant. What's next gas chamber to expedite mass execution?
  11. I've been a bit busy lately. You don't visit the politicking corner as much often?
  12. Cabdi Qaasim speaks at a press conference and calls for the removal of the Ethiopian troops, deployment of UN troops, cease fire, release of prisoners in Moqdisho, return of refugees, and peaceful reconciliation of Somalis of all walks of life including you, the diaspora community. And lastly, America's military intervention in Somali. Goormeey waxaanoo dhan dhacaayaa? Qiyaamo ka bacdigeed? Buunka Qiyaame waxaa la yeerinaa Soomaali oo heshiis isugu wacaaya xabadna isku gamaaya.

  13. Obama ain't going no where. Did you see what Gov. Mike Huckabee said the other day. He said it is not October or November. It's March and this will die down. He actually kind of reasoned with Rev. Wright's comments and said give him some slack. People who grew up being called names, being told to sit at the back of the bus, & 'colored' area at the doctor's office will have resentment. The hardcore conservatives are pushing this 'grandmother' talk into another blunder but his speech is already yielding results. It sparked debates on race in churches and schools across the country. I was watching last night Travis Smile on PBS and he seemed to have been suggesting if Obama angered the black community and churches by using the words 'anger' & 'bitter' on blacks and 'resentment' on whites. Travis went further and said many black prominent leaders said some of what Rev Wright said in his sermon. It's difficult to please everyone and Obama's political foes are dragging the grandmother thing to keep this alive. They are taking out two or three words of the whole speech out of context and run with it.
  14. ^Good observation. How you been?
  15. He's the first black and third man to be featured on the cover and they complain? Whom do they prefer. Kramer of Seinfied instead?
  16. Is this a prank? Canbuura Weynayaashii is ceen jiray baaba dhaama kuwaan qoryaha isku qaadanaya. A baboon is always a baboon.

  20. She got away with murder! Re-trial is a must. Igaar labo xiniinyooda bey dishay. I also remind her that missing lunch completely now and then wouldn't hurt her any (if you know what I mean). I like to think tact is one of my strong points. Nice joke.
  21. I was just reading it. Here's what Jesse Jackson said about the speech. "I thought it was a culmination of tough-minded, tender-hearted and a clear vision," Jackson told the Huffington Post. "It really was warm, filling, captive, reconciling and comprehensive and it displayed real true grit. He was forthright not evasive and used it as a teaching moment in American history: America's struggle to overcome its past and become a more perfect union. And once he made the case about the past and the complexities of Reverend Wright's life or [Geraldine] Ferraro's for that matter, he made the case that we are here now, but this time we will go forward by hope and not backwards by fear." Earlier in the day, Jackson appeared at a Take Back America conference on the legacy of Martin Luther King, in which the topic of race on the 2008 campaign trail came up with some regularity. Asked if he thought voters would respond well to the nuance and broad vision of Obama's address, Jackson said he had not doubt. "I think American saw an even deeper and more profound view of him today," he said. "He has turned crisis into opportunity."
  22. The Huffington Post On Clinton's Tax Returns, a "Frankly Disturbing" Lack of Transparency, and Surrogate-ancholy It's hard out there for a surrogate. Especially for a Clinton surrogate being asked why Hillary Clinton has not released the last eight years of her tax returns. As Congresswoman and Clinton surrogate Nita Lowey made clear on Meet The Press yesterday, the reason it's so hard to give a good answer to "Why hasn't Clinton released her returns?" is because there is no good answer. Lowey gave it a shot, but it wasn't pretty -- or particularly intelligible. When Tim Russert asked about the returns, she opened with the main talking point the Clinton campaign has been using for weeks: "It's my understanding that there are 20 years of tax returns in the public view from both Bill and Hillary Clinton." And she's exactly right. There are 20 years worth of returns that have been released. What's missing are the last 8 years -- years in which Bill Clinton has been making money hand over fist, and involving himself in all kinds of interesting financial deals (see Ron Burkle, Yucaipa, and the ruler of Dubai). Lowey then quickly pivoted away from tax returns (clearly the 20 year line, as lame as it is, was the only arrow in her quiver) to make points about earmarks and the terrific work Bill Clinton's foundation has done on HIV/AIDS in Africa -- neither of which Russert had asked her about or have anything to do with tax returns. Now, Nita Lowey is no slouch. She's smart and accomplished. But when you are sent into battle armed with little more than nonsensical blather, you are not going to end up looking very good. And Lowey didn't. And she seemed to know it -- her eyes belied a classic case of surrogatancholy. Hillary Clinton has repeatedly paired herself with John McCain as of late, making the case that they are candidates with a "lifetime of experience," so it seems appropriate that her refusal to release her tax returns is another thing they have in common. While Clinton has been tossing verbal bouquets to McCain and attacking Obama for not being "vetted," Obama has been living up to his promises about making government more transparent. Not only did he release his latest tax returns in April 2007, he also just made public his list of earmarks, and sat down at the end of last week with the Chicago Tribune and Sun Times to answer all their questions about Tony Rezko. The conclusion of the Tribune? "When we endorsed Obama for the Democratic presidential nomination Jan. 27, we said we had formed our opinions of him during 12 years of scrutiny. We concluded that the professional judgment and personal decency with which he has managed himself and his ambition distinguish him. Nothing Obama said in our editorial board room Friday diminishes that verdict... Barack Obama now has spoken about his ties to Tony Rezko in uncommon detail. That's a standard for candor by which other presidential candidates facing serious inquiries now can be judged." It's a standard not being met by either McCain or Clinton. As Sheila Krumholz of the nonprofit Center for Responsive Politics said of Clinton not releasing her tax returns: "What is the holdup? She hasn't exactly made it clear as to what process is making it so cumbersome to just release them." Or as John Aravosis summed it up: "People with nothing to hide don't usually hide." The main excuse we've gotten so far is that Hillary Clinton just has too much on her plate. "I'm a little busy right now," she said during the Ohio debate. "I hardly have time to sleep. But I will certainly work toward releasing, and we will get that done and in the public domain." That was three weeks ago. Two weeks ago, Howard Wolfson promised the returns would be released "on or around April 15." But weren't the returns completed and filed a long time ago? Doesn't Clinton's accountant have time to print them out and make some copies (note to Clinton's accountant: many Kinko's are open 24 hours). As Andrew Sullivan notes, "Did they file an extension for the past few years? If they didn't, the forms are available now." And it's not as if the Clintons have attempted to make a reasoned argument as to why the returns shouldn't be released -- something about there being too much scrutiny of public officials. Instead they've gone with Classic Clintonism: envelope themselves in lofty, good-guy rhetoric while utterly failing to follow-through. And then smearing their opponents, such as their absurd attack on Obama's campaign for "imitating Ken Starr." The Clintons have obviously done very well during the Bush years -- well enough that she was able to loan her campaign $5 million at a critical moment. Is it really Ken Starr-like to want to know where that money came from? Or to ask for a list of the donors who have contributed $500 million to her husband's library? Or to ask what her policy as president would be regarding the transparency of huge donations from foreign interests to her husband's charitable fund (see the $31.3 million donation and additional $100 pledge to Bill Clinton's foundation after he helped a Canadian mining mogul secure a massive uranium deal with Kazakhstan)? As a New York Times editorial put it: "As a former president, Bill Clinton has been making millions annually giving speeches and traveling the globe. What is publicly known about his business dealings is sketchy, and clearer disclosure of them is required to reassure voters that Mrs. Clinton's candidacy is unencumbered by hidden entanglements." In short, it's well past time for Hillary Clinton to be as "vetted" as she claims to already be -- and to have this vetting done now by Democratic voters rather than later by GOP hit squads. She needs to live up to the standard she laid out for Rick Lazio, the opponent in her 2000 Senate race. At that time, she said it was "frankly disturbing" that Lazio was holding back on releasing his tax returns. What a difference eight years -- and tens of millions of dollars (some of them from questionable deals) -- can make.
  23. Asked by MSNBC host Joe Scarborough if criticism of Reverend Jeremiah Wright's relationship with presidential hopeful Barack Obama was something of a double standard in light of the history of clergy who have said divisive things about September 11 and got a pass, commentator Pat Buchanan offered a jarring equivocation, excusing away the behavior of other Christian speakers on the grounds Wright's "Afro-racism" was somehow more toxic. SCARBOROUGH: Let me bring in Pat Buchanan here for a second to follow up on a comment that Nancy made before and a comment that I'm sure a lot of Obama supporters would repeat. And that is that there may be a double standard here. Jerry Falwell said some very inflammatory things after September 11th, as did Pat Robertson, Billy Graham's son, Franklin Graham said some things after 9/11 that offended a great number of Americans, yet these gentleman have all endorsed Republican candidates and we haven't had this type of discussion. John McCain, certainly, has not had to come out and explain away his support from Jerry Falwell or Reverend Hagee. BUCHANAN: Well, the Reverend Falwell and the others made individual statements after 911 for which they were roundly condemned and which both of them came forward and said, let me explain myself. This was not consistent in character. What we have with Reverend Wright, this is his message. It is a hate America, it is an Afrocentric, I think it is an Afro-racist message. And Senator Obama's been sitting there imbibing this for twenty years. And why did he not walk out of that church and find another after two or three of these sermons? He said he did not know the reverend held these views. That is simply not credible. You have a tremendous disconnect between the Obama we see on the stump and Reverend Wright at that pulpit in that church. The Huffington Post
