TALK about shadowboxing. In the center of a flyblown gym, where the musk runs strong and the weak are not welcome, Bashir Ramathan bobs and weaves, his tattered gloves punching furiously, trying to find their target. Blows rain down on his arms, his chest, his sweat-beaded face. But his fists keep flying — all completely in the dark. “You better watch my hook!” he warns. “It’s fast! It’s sharp! Watch out!” Mr. Ramathan is completely blind, and he is a middleweight boxer. It sounds improbable, and dangerous, but it is his way of dealing with his disability. This husky, bearded bricklayer from the Ugandan slums is fearless, calling out all the other boxers in the gym to go toe-to-toe with him — as long as they wear a blindfold. On a recent day, another fighter, and a quite chiseled one at that, tied a sweaty T-shirt over his face, and he and Mr. Ramathan duked it out for several rounds, trading some serious head-snappers. There were some wild whiffs, too, and at one point, the two boxers were back to back, punching like crazy in the absolute wrong direction. Mr. Ramathan said he tried to home in on smells and sounds, like the squeak of the shoes and the huff of his opponent’s breathing. “Bashir fights with his brain,” explained his coach, Hassan Khalil. “He has the talent,” said Monica Abey, a young female contender who has trained with him. BUT this Ugandan Rocky story is not about boxing, really. It is about how a man who unexpectedly lost his sight 12 years ago has gone from a sullen figure sitting in a one-room shack waiting for some orphans to boil his next bowl of gruel to an inspiration across his country. the rest of the article: Nytimes

Inaa lilaah wa inaa ilahay raajicuun. ilaahay ha u naxariisto dhamaan shacabka meeshan ku geeriyootay. xabashida iyo kuwii sababta u ahaa inay maanta wadankeena dhexdiisa sida dukhsida naloo laayo u suurto galisay iyagana ilaahay ha ka abaal mariyo waxay kasbadeen !

If this is about the money it is somewhat understandable. but if the family of the deceased is willing to take jizyah ... it is not your place to judge because this is the preferred way of settling this issue. just cosider the cons of refusing: - It might be you tomorrow who requires the assistance of your tol .. bad place to be in if you refuse now ! - Even if the deceased and the murderer were no good ********s only the best & brightest of your toll will be killed in retaliation (a disturbing somali culture) -

lol CL thank you for the misdirection .. another sijui translated it for me .. something about garbage

subax wanaagsan ibti & malika too many things to count add to your list we have the anomaly that is the 'unknown' guy/girl ... another lady asking for donations of the biological kind.

^ the only swahili phrase i know is. takaka in ... takaka out. bal ii fasir CL ?

Maalin wanaagsan trollers. this is place is getting weirder everyday

@ 45 year-old midget with acute elephantiasis under normal circumstances you're right .. but this particular case is best described by the ceiling function which imposes on upper limit on the persuasion as a function of the appeal level. since there is an inverse relationship .... the lower the appeal the more persuasion needed ... but the appeal cannot be so low as to drive the persuasion factor beyond the limit established by the ceiling

^ @KK men are a creature of habit and this game is as old as time, if labeled correctly it would have worked long ago, usually it is a 40+ maiden who the clock is running out on hence the mercy/pity aspect of the thing ... this is usually viewed upon as charity by the man involved and the sister agrees (her best friend generously agreed to donate she said)therefore contrary to what you may think the amount of persuasion involved is inversely proportional to the appeal of the target.

Originally posted by siphoningdilemma: A little update, my best friend is generous enough to donate however he is asking me to break the news to his wife and I just don’t know how to, any ideas? I’m in dreadful bind here so I can’t think clearly therefore any help will help, so please be generous with your ideas. thx here is an idea. if you called this what it really is, you would get a lot of candidates because this is the same old stuff recycled with a different name ... it used to be called a mercy ***** or a pity **** but to reach this level of desperation you've must have already reached the **** stage. forget your best friend any man off the street can be persuaded if you put it like that, im sure you will find many candidates

this is getting out of hand. at least over here an athlete blamed his girlfriends cheating on him to be the reason he didnt bring home the gold ... damn what a bunch of whiners notice how nobody makes a big deal or stink about the racist Spanish basketball players

^ Hi phew ! meeshan maalmahan waa waalatay !

Two funny theories on why people get fired or promoted. The Peter Principle is the principle that "In a Hierarchy Every Employee Tends to Rise to His Level of Incompetence." While formulated by Dr. Laurence J. Peter and Raymond Hull in their 1968 book The Peter Principle, a humorous treatise which also introduced the "salutary science of Hierarchiology", "inadvertently founded" by Peter, the principle has real validity. It holds that in a hierarchy, members are promoted so long as they work competently. Sooner or later they are promoted to a position at which they are no longer competent (their "level of incompetence"), and there they remain. Peter's Corollary states that "in time, every post tends to be occupied by an employee who is incompetent to carry out his duties" and adds that "work is accomplished by those employees who have not yet reached their level of incompetence". The Dilbert Principle refers to a 1990s satirical observation by Dilbert cartoonist Scott Adams stating that companies tend to systematically promote their least-competent employees to management (generally middle management), in order to limit the amount of damage they're capable of doing.

^ since you claim it is documentation ... provide some reliable source of information not some apologist website ... prove to me it was infact Al-shabaab and not your beloved mercenaries !

Now compare the reactions of the 'international community' and how long the wars lasted. my sentiments exactly .... 2 years ago these terms had no significance - disproportionate force - collective punishment - civilian infrastructure - humanitarian aid and now their 'mini me' is in trouble they keep repeating those phrases like a broken record. it is regrettable what the Georgian populace is going through but at the same time i cannot help but laugh at the position that the U.S has been placed in. Mcain actually said and i sh*t you not In the 21st century Nations do not invade other nations the irony is too much ^

^ hmm that sounds a bit strange coming from you but i'll let it slide ... this must be one of his mildest tales so far, at least in this one nothing actually happened .. the story was about a man hooking up with a woman who he finds physically repulsive but he went along with it just for 'dhoof' and she pretended to be a gashaanti .... untill the evidence pointed out otherwise ... what exactly is the problem .. bal ii jilci ?

oddly i read the comments before i read the story .. and i was expecting some x-rated stuff and this story seems mild compared to his other ones and I dont see a prob ... keep it up A&T

I remember the episode involving samuel eto .. these spaniards are some racist ****
