^Why over exert when they can win in 2nd gear? I suppose Rafa is Rafa. He has them playing like Valencia did when he was in charge and they won the league and Eufa cup. BG, don't worry saxib. You will lose to a lesser team next week.

JB, ydo ou remember that bus journey?

^I have that email

It's spelt 'Sheffield' mate :cool: Is that the vid with Fathi the chef?

Lads, it doesn't matter how its done as long as we win.

^Typical Emp. Can't hold his own and resorts to his back-up plan. I think I have said enough and I don't wish to continue spelling things out. Xagaa ka wada

Sounds like it went well. Well done.

^The current admin is guilty of the same charges you're making against the 'terrorist' organisation.

What a game!!!!! End to end stuff. Congrats to Arsenal. LFC business as usual (Ng don't complain).

You say: My stance is very simple. I dont agree with the Ethiopian occupation of Somalia. However, how we get rid of them is the problem. I dont agree with al-shabaab or their tactics. So I denounce them when they kill innocent people anywhere in somalia and I dont dress it up as resistance. Then you say: About the current administration, they are what the Somali representatives elected and I support them as the Somali government. This does not mean I agree with all their actions. You're prepared to give those who invited the Ethiopians and who are responsible for this mess (as well as being accused of human rights violations by Amnesty Int)your qualified support but can't afford the same for those who are doing what you agree with in principal (trying to get rid of them). You're choosy about the support you give to the govnt but then unequivocally denouce AS. Xagaa ka wad saxib

Little in the way of substance but much in the way of tagging along masking her debating short comings. Xagaa ka wad

As for your question, its a matter of interpretation my friend and not contradiction in way, shape or form. Is that it? Khalaas? You fooled me saxib. There I was thinking you turned a corner and was prepared to stay and fight your corner. Never the less, I would be interested in how you alone interpret it NOT being an occupation when all other parties including the Ethiopians say it is In your earlier posts and previous stance, you supported the targetting of sweeping woman, road side bombs that doesn't know a civilian car from the military one, and the suicide bombing. Since the incident in Hargeisa, we have witnessed a changed of heart in you which was quite evident to all SOL users. Maxaa isbadalay, waa intaas lee question-ka You're getting a ahead of yourself as usual and throwing accusations without much in the way of fact. Funny thing is, NB (and yourself it seems) have stated my condemnation of AS' bombings in Hargaisa when I haven't Neither have I condoned or supported their non Ethio targeted actions in the South. Are you still unable to comprehend what I posted earlier saxib? Now that we have that out of the way, are you able to put together something to explain your 'interpretation' of one country's military going into another in war and staying there? Convince me you're not a bumbling so and so

Thats it focus. You can do it. why do you denounce the suicide bombing in Hargeisa and support the one in Mogadishu Not sure where I did that but I thought what I just posted would have cleared that up for you. Let me try again and see if you comprehend it this time around. The latter method (targeting innocents through malicious acts such as bombings) I obviously do not agree with nor condone. Yours and KK's contradictory stance is quite clear. The longing for a united Somalia and support for an invasion and occupation is one. 1. Do you still support the occupation? Convince me you're stance is not a contradictory one

Is that Emp asking me to focus and answer a question? Surely not! Are you offended? Runtaan sheegay saxib. When you’re required to put forth your stance in a clear and concise manner, you seem to run around in circles and leave the thread. Same as KK. You both offer very little when challenged. Why not ask KK to answer my Q? Mise taasi waa a no no? We are all aware of previous opinions when Xamar was being bombarded and the cheerleading that occurred (by yourself and KK among others). Maantana you’re both frothing at the mouth to label someone else a hypocrite (with little in the way fact or reason). Aduunyo! But let’s not expect NB to be as inquisitive here (concerning your stance). He seems to see things through a different lens (wonder why?). As for NB, I’m toying with him at the moment and waiting for him to state his opinion on the situation in Somalia. From his cameo appearances so far and the way in which he appears whenever I mention Yeey in a bad light or when I’m in the process of highlighting your inconsistent stance, I have concluded he is a bonafide Yeeyster (from those previous posts). I’m asking him to prove me wrong. For the record this is what I wrote in another thread: “Although one understands the nature of resistance has been far from what it was during it’s origins in the summer of 2006, the cause of ridding an occupying force from Somalia should always be supported. There are two sides to the entity we are discussing. One is that of a general resistance through gorilla tactics in a metropolis and the other is the killing of innocents through either negligent and/or intentional actions. Resistance through gorilla tactics in a city or urban areas is something expected as a result of invasion and occupation and is really nothing to be surprised about. As the Ethiopians are a recognized military force, and in accordance with relevant international laws, the onus is on them to minimize casualties in those urban areas. Granted that civilians have been harmed by the resistance themselves but the most harm has been brought on by Ethiopia’s non-adherence to those laws (violation of human rights accusations by Amnesty Int). The latter method (targeting innocents through malicious acts such as bombings) I obviously do not agree with nor condone.” That was posted right after you brought my name into the discussion funnily enough. I tend to answer questions. Usually when both sides have made their stances clear. This is a forum after all. I just hope you’re all prepared to do the same. I hope you don’t run off when questioned ya Emp. I have laid down the gauntlet. Don’t disappoint!

NB, don't misunderstand what I meant. Your SOL political participation to date has been a bit part, point the finger and defend Yeey or those who vocally support him. You have offered little else. You seem to be afraid of a proper discussion ala Emp and KK. Time to put up or shut up saxib. This is a forum and not East London. Stratford? Is there a pitch there? No thanks. Don't want to get mugged As for KK, I'm yet to understand what SOL's Sarah Palin is on about. Little in the way of substance but much in the way of tagging along masking her debating short comings.

Nice place. Friendly people (waaban la yaabay just how friendly the people are). Not sure about the winters though.

^I'm not in London and all I see is another 'defend adeero at all costs' person. You're entitled to your opinion of course,,,,, ps can I use the same London line? Last I checked this was a forum. pps you remind me of the guys who come to the football pitch wearing the latest shirts and boots and carrying the latest ball only to see them scared to tackle!

^^me too. Can't find it.

Hindidu waa sidaa. Success means alot to them and they're not afraid to brag about it however misplaced. Welcome to your new neighbourhood. Keep us posted

Eating Young When You Are Old By Anisa Abeytia Clinical Nutritionist - Dubai What we eat directly impacts how we will age. A deficiency in any vitamin or mineral can cause a dysfunction in the body. Decades of nutritional deficiencies eventually catch up to us in the twilight years of our life, but even if you are there now, there is so much you can do to make your life worth living. Even if you are not fifty plus, continue reading, because like the saying goes, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." Energize with Iron Iron is known for building muscle, but it also helps us have enough energy to do what we want in our daily lives. If we think about the symptoms of anemia, we will know why an iron deficiency makes us feel tired and want to nap more. The reason for this is that iron helps build red blood cells that transport oxygen into our cells. If our cells do not have enough oxygen, we feel fatigued. A few other factors include lack of hydrochloric acid and vitamin B12; both are needed for our bodies to absorb iron. Iron deficiency is one of the most common known deficiencies. The elderly, especially those with low income or those in nursing facilities, are increasingly at risk because of poor nutritional status. The green tops of radish are richer in iron than a piece of red meat of equal size. Using kelp (a seaweed) in your cooking by adding it to cooking water (like rice, stews and soups) can also boost iron intake. My favorite tip is to cook in a cast iron pan. Keep Your Mind Fit with B12 We now know that vitamin B12 is important for iron absorption, but it is also important to brain health. The brain is particularly sensitive to nutritional deficiencies, especially that of vitamin B12. So profound is the effect of vitamin B12 that some people with mental disorders like Alzheimer's can experience complete remission upon taking vitamin B12 with folic acid. Rich sources of vitamin B12 are animal proteins like liver (especially lamb), clams, oysters and sardines. The most effective form of supplementation for the mature adult is vitamin B12 injections, that can be administered by a medical doctor. Most vitamin deficiencies can be detected by blood tests, but if you would like to do a quick self test at home, here is what to look for: 1. A thick white coat over the tongue. 2. White specks (not the half moon that is at the top of your cuticle) on your fingernails. If you suspect that you have a deficiency, consult with a health care professional to suggest a course of action. Taste Life with Zinc Humans hold a relatively large amount of zinc in their bodies (1.4-2.5 grams on average). Zinc is used in every cell of our body and is used in over 200 body functions. It is used in our eyes, kidneys and our prostate gland. It is an important mineral along with vitamin A in preventing night blindness. A deficiency in zinc can cause a loss of taste and smell. This is a common complaint in the elderly and really robs one of the flavors of life. One woman in her 80's who consulted with me after having a stroke can testify to the importance of zinc. As I interviewed her, I asked her what she had been eating three months prior to having the stroke. She blushed and said, "For the last month I had boxes of candies staked up in my house. All I want to eat is candy and fried foods. I eat out all the time." This was not typical behavior for this woman. It turns out that she was bingeing on all the foods that were "treats" to her. She said that for years she had not been able to taste food. This had made her a bit depressed because she could no longer enjoy her food which was really the only pleasure she had in life. In an effort to make herself feel better and be able to taste food, she turned to the most flavorful food she could think of. A poor diet over the course of a month in tandem with a history of high blood pressure and inadequate water intake came together to cause the stroke. Yes, she did have high blood pressure and did not consume enough water, but the only factor in her life that had changed was her diet. So something seemingly as unimportant as a zinc deficiency turned out to be a big thing in the end. It is amazing to be able to read the signals that our bodies send to us. Our bodies "speak" to us all the time, but many of us do not know how to listen.Sometimes an excessive intake of zinc could result in a metallic taste in the mouth. This is one way to determine if you are supplementing your diet too much with zinc. Foods rich in zinc are oysters, pumpkin seeds, Brazil nuts and ginger root. When you think of zinc, think nuts and seeds and have a handful each day. Reduce Back Pain with Water and Magnesium Your spine needs water to work properly. The fluid that buffers each vertebrae from its neighbor is primarily composed of water. Insufficient amounts of water can result in the compression of the spine, causing the vertebrae to come in contact with delicate nerves, thus causing pain. A common sign of dehydration is muscle pain. Keep in water balance and see if your back pain decreases. Another important factor in back pain is the constriction of muscles. Many people complain of a stiffness in the neck, shoulders or of the lower back. The mineral magnesium is what causes the muscles of the body to relax. Calcium, on the other hand, contracts muscles. An example of how this works is the heart. When the heart contracts, it is calcium that is responsible and when the heart relaxes, magnesium is at work. Calcium in high amounts can block the absorption of magnesium and vice-versa. It is very easy to consume a diet excessive in calcium because many foods are fortified with it. The drugs digitalis and insulin are antagonistic to magnesium, so if you are using these pharmaceuticals, you may need to increase your intake of magnesium. Unfortunately, only the severest of magnesium deficiencies are noticeable with blood tests. Since it is used in over 300 processes in the body, the body does all it can to keep magnesium available in the blood stream. Muscle twitching of the eyes or legs is associated with magnesium deficiency. This is evident if you lie down after a long day and your arm or leg jerks up involuntarily. Magnesium is nature's muscle relaxer. Craving chocolate can also signal a magnesium deficiency because chocolate is rich in this mineral. Magnesium is available in fruits, vegetables and nuts. Kelp (seaweed), blackstrap molasses (unsulfured), almonds, Brazil nuts and dates are all rich sources of this mineral. Aging Gracefully It is now a commonly held idea that as we age our quality of life should decline. It is thought of as "normal" to lose the ability to move around, lose mental function and become sicker and sicker until the day we die. This is not the "normal" process of aging. Yes, it may now be the way humans age, but it is far from normal. In the western world, degenerative diseases (heart disease, diabetes, cancer) are responsible for our failing health status. Prior to this, communicable diseases (influenza, tuberculosis, bubonic plague, yellow fever) were the major cause of premature death. In developing countries these communicable diseases still play a major role in the premature death rate. However, among the more affluent in developing countries, degenerative diseases are not uncommon. I believe this is because the affluent in developing countries, who have different diets than those of their less fortunate compatriots, are eating more and more a Standard Western Diet. It could be claimed that we are living longer and that with age the human body deteriorates. Yet, centurion studies (of people over age 100) show that humans are capable of being in robust health to the age of 100 and beyond. This is not to say that as we age our bodies will work the same as when we were 20. That is not a realistic expectation. But we should also not expect to fall apart. * Before embarking on a new program, consult with your physician or health care provider. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anisa Abeytia, B.A. USC , M.A., Stanford is an integrative health specialist currently pursuing a M.S. in Holistic Nutrition.

Its a good move for the game. One of the best players in the NBA is now at one of the best teams. I'm looking forward to see if he still has it.
