Originally posted by Xoogsade: Juje caqli meesha kuma haayo. These two men, abumansuur and Turki both wield influence in the south, their word matters. Their support is very crucial to peace and stability in the south. Waa niman karaamo ku leh soomaali badan dhexdooda for their stellar contribution to our freedom, to the safety and peace now prevalent in the south in general. Xaq waxay u leyihiin inay kula doodaaan sheekh shariif ama cid kale wax allaale iyo waxay u arkaan inay qaldan yihiin ama lagu gafay. They are more important to Sheekh Shariif than Juje and the likes who supported the Xabashi invasion of Muqdisho are. Iyagana waxaa laga rabaa inay macquul noqdaan oo nabadda taageeraan as long as their stated goals are met or addressed. Everyone is important, everyone who can be problematic to peace is important. Wixii qaldan waa la saxayaa, wixii toosanna waa lagu raacaayaa wanaagga. From Raaskambooni To Beldxaawo, to Bay&Bakool, people are happy with the new system that gave them the peace they wanted. Abumansuur and Turki represent such peace. Muqdisho needs their help more than these two men need its help. Sheekh Shariif needs soldiers of dignity who can bring in law and order, justice and lasting peace to Muqdisho. The same way these two have helped in the past, the same way they can now help him moving forward to the future. Haddii kale, Sheekh shariif will be surrounded by the same useless warlords, same usless clan elders, who capitalize on clan emotions time and again. Dadka meelaha ka nacnacleeya oo yiraahda yaan lala hadlin Alshabaab, Abu mansuur and Turki, waa dadka qabiilka aaminsan oo wax magaratada ah. They forget how these men stood for Somalia when the rest slept with the enemy of Somalia. Well said sxb ! it is only because of the like of Xasan Turki & Abu mansuur .. that sharif can even be sitting in villa somalia ... to claim that they are not important is hot air. as for sharif .. it is time to pay the piper (Al-shabaab) they have rid the town of the rats .. let's hope this story has a diff ending

Norf sxb I hear you. I started off with 10 construction guys, a few months back .. and they have been getting laid off or reassigned to other projects 1 by 1, until I was left with 3. I was confident that I would be able to close my project, because the remaining funds represented a minute amount of the total budget, but it is on hold now, I'll be handing over the construction work package to their in-house guys. in tough times, the consultant and contractors are the first to go, they are trying to do things in house, but they don't have the expertise. luckily I have a few smaller projects that i am involved in, but that one was my baby anyway things will turn around in time, best to be prepared when they do

@ watching too much news I assure you it is real sxb, seefta hadaysan weli ku leefin nasiib baad leedahay. but ever since the housing crisis in late 2006 .. things have been heading downward.

We have all been hearing about , how bad the economy is getting for at least for 1 year and a half. A project I have been working on for the last few months just got 'put on hold' today ... which took me completely by surprise .. as 98% of the work is done what remains is so insignificant it doesn't make sense from a cost cutting point of view .. but nevertheless managers have to look like they are doing something .. when asked by the higher ups .. 'what are you doing to cut costs ?' I had my head in the sand, as to how bad the situation really is, The Ax has been falling left and right of me -- enough of my rant A few nuggets of advice that may help: - keep your resume upto date - plan for the eventual upturn .... it is a good time to catch up on training and your continued education obligations. - dhexdha dhuuqso .. spending wise ------------------------------- what can you add ?

I'm doing good sxb. good thread .. we need more techy topics

The current Apple O/S is itself a *NIX variant architecturally speaking. The hardware is what makes it separate.

well good luck with it ibti it is not an easy task .. we have been blessed with an abundance of hard-hardheadedness, a bit too much pride , and the ability to never back down even if we are wrong. A warning: Be careful when you fight the monsters, lest you become one. -Friedrich Nietzsche

The first Million Women Rise demonstration in March 2008 saw 5000 women and children take to the streets of London to celebrate International Women’s Day and to show our united rage and opposition to male perpetrated violence. where is the registered trademark owner of the phrase ..

Originally posted by underdog: “Definition of Statistics: The science of producing unreliable facts from reliable figures.” @ UD ... I concur sxb. Statisticians have mastered all the weasel words known in mathematics .. they have the ability to twist numbers to make them fit any conclusion. here are a few one liners regarding them: * Statistics means never having to say you're certain. * Statistics is the art of never having to say you're wrong. * Variance is what any two statisticians are at. * Smoking is a leading cause of statistics. * 3 out of 4 Americans make up 75% of the population. * Death is 99 per cent fatal to laboratory rats. * A statistician is a person who draws a mathematically precise line from an unwarranted assumption to a foregone conclusion. * A statistician can have his head in an oven and his feet in ice, and he will say that on the average he feels fine. -------------------------------------

^ I don't usually watch NFL games .. but that was a very exciting game. what amazes me is, how can americans get so worked up about a game that occurs every single year .. if it was like the world cup every four years .. macquul. but trotting Gen. patrueas and having jets flying over head .. do they do this sort of thing for every super bowl horta ?

something must be wrong .. with my sense of style .. because those houses look fine to me .. and some even look good. help a geeljire out here .. is it the colors or the style of building or something else ?

PS: those men that liberated happen to be the sons of the regions I am talking about. Those sons have done their great patriotic duty, now it is time for those sons to build their regions and prepare their regions for the future Ethiopian confrontation. We should not waste time in the cat and mouse game in which ''paper governments'' and their opposition factions have been engaged since 1991. This is a line of argument I can get behind sxb,
