A teacher placed his hand on his head and asked, ''தம்பிமாரே இதுக்கு பெயர் என்ன''

Students chorused, ''உச்சி'',

Teacher continued ''தமிழில் ஓரு சொல்லு ஆனால் ஆங்கிலத்தில் Top of the Head என்று பல சொற்கள் ஆகவே தமிழே சிறந்தது''.

TAMBARAM: Chennai Suburban Police on Tuesday arrested four men in connection with the kidnapping of a U.K. citizen of Sri Lankan Tamil origin in Pallavaram last month.



A portion of the ransom money that was paid to the kidnappers was recovered and a search is on for two others, including a Sri Lankan national.

Chennai Suburban Police Commissioner S.R. Jangid said:



P. Shanmugavel, the U.K. citizen, had come to Chennai in April and on June 22, was travelling in a car driven by Ramu, to Triplicane.



At Veteran Lines in Pallavaram, their vehicle was intercepted by a couple of autorickshaws from which a group of men emerged, overpowered Shanmugavel and Ramu and bundled them into another car, waiting some distance away.

They were blindfolded and taken to a house in a desolate location far away from Chennai.



The kidnappers called his wife, Radhika and demanded a ransom of Rs. 25 lakh.

Later in the evening, she handed over a suitcase containing Rs.17.5 lakh and a little later, Shanmugavel was let off in Anna Nagar, along with Ramu.



Following a complaint, the Pallavaram police and a special crime team started investigations and at Pallavaram-Thoraipakkam Radial Road on Tuesday evening, intercepted the vehicle that was used to kidnap the two men.



Police arrested Janarthanam, Srinivasan, Suresh and Bhaskar, Mr. Jangid said, adding that a search was on for Balamurugan Paramasivam, a Sri Lankan citizen.



Balamurugan was well known to Shanmugavel as they were business partners earlier, but had split owing to differences over a money transaction.

The Pallavaram police said Balamurugan had in the past threatened to get even with Shanmugavel.



However, the whereabouts of Balamurugan was not known, police said, suspecting that he would have left the country.

All Religions Reject Equality and Respect for Women and therefore it stands to reason the ''Male'' chauvinist invented the ''God'' and ''Religion''!

The greedy Bankers kept women out of their Boardrooms and therefore had no sense of balance and we saw the disaster in the last Financial Crisis.

The very same disaster will occur if Religious Leaders tread the 'male chauvinist' path !

Already the Catholic Church suffers the pangs of sexual abuse by Priests and it has tainted

Sinhala doctor suspected in the killing of Tharsika in Veala’nai government hospital In Jaffna Peninsula

  
Eingestellt von ulavan Donnerstag, 15. Juli 2010
 
Intention of taking the Sinhala doctor suspected in the killing of Tharsika in Veala’nai government hospital out of Jaffna peninsula came to light when Oorkaavattu’rai police requested permission from Magistrates court to transfer the case to Anuradapura court Thursday claiming safety of the suspect, legal sources in Jaffna said.
Meanwhile, Jaffna prison authorities and Oorkaavattu’rai police Thursday submitted contradicting reports in Oorkaavattu’rai court on why the suspect was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit in Jaffna Teaching Hospital (JTH) Wednesday night. Prison authorities’ report said that the suspect was suffering from chest pain while the police report said that the suspect had sustained physical injuries in the prison. Meanwhile, the medical officer who had admitted the suspect to JTH, summoned to Oorkaavattu’rai court Thursday, told the court that the suspect was in normal health condition without any injury at the time of admittance.

Oorkaavattu’rai magistrate fixed the next inquiry into the case for 19 July and directed the Judicial Medical Officer in JTH to submit the suspect to medical examination and produce the report in the court. The magistrate further directed the police to continue to keep the suspect in JTH under police protection. Oorkaavatturai police seeking permission to move the case to Anuardapura court and to transfer the suspect to Anuradapura prison reveals the interest shown in taking the suspect out of Jaffna peninsula, legal sources in Jaffna said.

The Sinhala doctor suspect arrested by police Tuesday under suspicion of involvement in the killing of Tharsika from Charava'nai, a family consultant nurse Saturday in Veala’nai government hospital in the islets of Jaffna, was produced in Oorkaavattu’rai magistrate court Wedne sday. Magistrate Vasanthasenan had directed the police to place him in Jaffna Remand Prison until 21 July. A relative of the Sinhala doctor suspect who is a high officer in Sri Lanka Navy (SLN) in the islets of Jaffna had managed to save him from the enraged residents of Veala’nai Saturday.

Interested political persons then had the suspect transferred first to one hospital and then to another in Jaffna peninsula to hide him. The suspect was then kept in the office of Health Department in Jaffna avoiding arrest by police

American Republican Party Scoundrels Ruined Country and Blame Obama !

Here are some gems we crossed in Internet this morning --


It is known the American Republican Party :

1... Saw to it that wealth from the middle class went to the 2 % Americans who are the wealthiest by cutting taxes for the wealthiest ---

2... Removed all the rules that held Finance, Oil, Medical and Insurance companies and corporations accountable to the public --

3... Allowed and even encouraged reckless handling of finace by big banks to the point of collapse that made eight million Americans unemployed and now blames Obama for the mess they themselves created --

4... Ignored the Health Care costs that explodes each year --

5... Tried to privatize Soclal Security knowing fully well the enormous implications that would ruin our economy and the country as well --

7... Permitted Drug companies have an open season to rake in large profits at the cost of the consumer --

8... Turned a blind eye to the declining average income of family to below $ 2,000 --

9... Dragged America into an unwanted war in Iraq only to reap billions of dollars for Dick Cheney, George Bush Jr and Tony Blair the toad --

10.. And left Afghanistan in quagmire and brought disrepute to usa throughout the world --

We wonder if the American voters will send these scoundrels back to their homes next November, election time !

Or, vote for them, just as they voted in George Bush Jr the clown of the century !!

Ah ! The much ridden horse of ''China Fear'' has atlast given up the ghost ! Contention between China nd Taiwan is resolved ! !

This morning read the TruthDigg by Robert Scheer and found this --
Eternal joke being played on the stage of world politics ?
Today we will see what the holier than the Holy Cow does in American Senate !
We all know of the credit crunch that made millions of Americans jobless --
And,  when Congress is struggling to find the $34 billion needed to continue
unemployment payments for six months to 1.7 million workers thrown out of jobs --
Sen. Joe Lieberman thunders “If we do not move to produce two submarines a year
as soon as possible, we are in serious danger of falling behind China” --
Each submarine costs $2.5 billion --  And are built in his home state Connecticut.
But then submarines are useless to capture al-Qaida terrorists holed up in
some mountain caves.
There are many more american politicians, too numerous to quote here,  that go down
the easy,  unthinking ''blame China'' path.
“The Chinese are Coming” became the last resort of war-profiteering scoundrels --
Once the Russians began disarming at a galloping rate --
American Defence Budget is set at a thumping $700 Billion for sophisticated weaponry.
America gets most of this money from China as loans.   That's beside the point says Senator !
Suddenly the pompous,  bloated ego of Pentagon and their weapons contractors is pricked by a sharp pin from China and collapsed last tuesday with no warning what-so-ever !
China and Taiwan signed a Trade Agreement last tuesday.
So what ?
Ah !  The much ridden horse of ''China Fear'' has atlast given up the ghost !
Contention between China nd Taiwan is resolved ! !
War mongers like Dick Cheney,  George Bush,  Tony Blair have to discover a new horse
or invent one.
The gossipvine tells a new development in White House --  
First Lady has moved out to a smaller bedroom --  as
President Obama is bursting out in horse-laugh !
In his sleep !!

Electric Cars ! Ya, why not ? If only Internal Combustion Engines Makers and Oil Well Millionaires Step Aside

Nissan  Electric  Car                                   A Tested Electric Car and Found Perfect 


We have heard of a man inventing a ''Tubeless Tyre''  --  Tyre and Tube makers bought the patent --  that was that !

We have heard of Tobacco Companies and Cigarette makers misleading the government and the public for decades declaring ''Laboratory tests indicate ''Smoking''  has nothing to do with ''Lung Cancer'' --

Of course ''lab tests'' indicated so --

This is how the cheating companies set up the ''testing'' game while raking in profits in millions of dollars while gullible people
succumbed to Lung Cancer and died.

Scouts went about searching for morally pliable science graduates in American University campuses.
Set up a private Laboratory equiped with shiny,  impressive instruments.
Instructed the morally corrupt ''Lab Assisstants'' to focus on falsified data to reach results ''smoking and lung cancer''
are two separate entity and NOT connected in anyway.

Now,  the propagandist journalists of the cigarette and tobacco companies went to work hell for leather on the results of the laboratory -- 

Every newspapers and magazines of US blared  ''smoking is safe'' and ''smoking has nothing to do with Lung Cancer'' --

And the slavish British and European and the rest of the world publishers joined in the band wagon --

The public the world over always believed whatever they saw or read in print --  from Bible, Koran and other Holy Writs to utter rot மாயாஐாலம் !

The crafty,  well paid journalists never mentioned the laboratory that reached the results.   They played this game throughout the 19th and first half of 20th century.  

One hundred and fifty years of uncontrolled profit in billions of dollars !

Have you heard the story of an executive of '' du Pont'' rejecting ''Velcro'' -- the sticky thing we find on every household
and medical items --

An MGM,  Hollywood Film Studio,  executive rejected two later on major actors --  Clark Gable was rejected saying ''Can't act for toffee''  --

And the film world's inimitable best dancer in the world,  Fred Astaire,  as ''can't sing or act but can dance a little''!

In the end these decision makers were dumb while Velcro, Gable and Astaire captured the minds of the world.

Likewise,  it is our contention the Internal Combustion Engine (Petrol and Diesel) makers in cahoot with Oil Magnates are
throwing spanners,  from a distant though,  into the works of developing ''Electric Cars''.

Many makes of cars were tested and found road worthy -- several were exhibited at world wide ''Car Shows'' for over a decade or two --

Yet,  none of them have reached the open market.

Now we will see what a trialist of the tiny Mini Minor of Cowley,  England has to say here --
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/10138911.stm

Oxford-based businessman David Beesley has been driving a trial electric car for six months.

"I am livid," the 60-something,  says --

 "It is a totally different experience to anything I've driven before and probably anything I'll be driving in the future''

Mr Beesley took delivery of his Mini-E in December 2009 as one of the so-called "pioneers" who pay just over £300 per month to take part in BMW Group's electric motoring trial --

I'm told it's about £3 for a full charge, but it never is a full charge because the battery is never actually empty --

During sub-zero temperatures, the battery capacity dropped to a range of just 40 miles, compared to almost 100 miles during summer, he recalls --

And, well, that's it. Beyond such teething problems, which BMW insists will be overcome before it starts selling electric cars to consumers, he has not had any problems whatsoever.

He is furious because he will have to hand it back when the first part of the Mini-E trial comes to an end next week, on 11 June.

Clearly, if you do 90 miles per day then this is probably not the car for you, but how often do you drive more than 90 miles in one stretch?

"People say it does only this many miles or that many miles or that it takes so-and-so long to charge it.

"Meanwhile, I go past the petrol stations and laugh at the silly sods wasting time and money filling up fuel."

The Mini-E is clearly very cheap to use --

BMW says it takes about three hours to charge the battery with a 30-amp fast-charger, which uses the same type of electric cable that electric cookers use, or eight hours when using an ordinary 13-amp socket.

"I come home, I get out of the car and I plug it straight in. It takes about two or three seconds and it charges on low tariffs overnight," he says.

"All this stuff about range and charge time amounts to scepticism and objection.

"Why do you want to keep objecting about something that is fantastic?"

And we say --  ''Oil  Peddlers  --  Enough  is  Enough --  Please  Do  Not  Hinder  Electric  Cars  Anymore ''

 "It is a totally different experience to anything I've driven before and probably anything I'll be driving in the future''

Mr Beesley took delivery of his Mini-E in December 2009 as one of the so-called "pioneers" who pay just over £300 per month to take part in BMW Group's electric motoring trial --

I'm told it's about £3 for a full charge, but it never is a full charge because the battery is never actually empty --

During sub-zero temperatures, the battery capacity dropped to a range of just 40 miles, compared to almost 100 miles during summer, he recalls --

And, well, that's it. Beyond such teething problems, which BMW insists will be overcome before it starts selling electric cars to consumers, he has not had any problems whatsoever.

He is furious because he will have to hand it back when the first part of the Mini-E trial comes to an end next week, on 11 June.

Clearly, if you do 90 miles per day then this is probably not the car for you, but how often do you drive more than 90 miles in one stretch?

"People say it does only this many miles or that many miles or that it takes so-and-so long to charge it.

"Meanwhile, I go past the petrol stations and laugh at the silly sods wasting time and money filling up fuel."

The Mini-E is clearly very cheap to use --

BMW says it takes about three hours to charge the battery with a 30-amp fast-charger, which uses the same type of electric cable that electric cookers use, or eight hours when using an ordinary 13-amp socket.

"I come home, I get out of the car and I plug it straight in. It takes about two or three seconds and it charges on low tariffs overnight," he says.

"All this stuff about range and charge time amounts to scepticism and objection.

"Why do you want to keep objecting about something that is fantastic?"

And we say --  ''Oil  Peddlers  --  Enough  is  Enough --  Please  Do  Not  Hinder  Electric  Cars  Anymore ''

House passed last December, the Senate passed now, and Final Bill will surely tie the hands of Wall Street that steals

Senate Passes Broader Rules  for Overseeing Wall Street
[[[ Will the Wall Street Robbers connive to find another hole to jump through to take another greedy bite ?]]]

The Senate bill, seek to curb abusive lending.
Creates a powerful Bureau of Consumer Protection within the Federal Reserve to oversee nearly all consumer financial products.

The vote was 59 to 39, with four Republicans joining the Democratic majority,  and two Democrats opposed  saying it was still not tough enough.

“The recession we’re emerging from was primarily caused by a lack of responsibility and accountability from Wall Street to Washington,” Mr. Obama said, adding, “That’s why I made passage of Wall Street reform one of my top priorities as president, so that a crisis like this does not happen again.”

The exemption suggested to shield auto dealers from supervision by a new consumer protection agency.  [[[ How cunning ? ]]]

Republican leaders, voiced loud criticism of the legislation while trying to insist that they still wanted tougher supervision of Wall Street.  [[[ Double Tongued,  eh ? ]]]

The bill will ensure that troubled companies, no matter how big or complex, can be liquidated at no cost to taxpayers.
It would empower regulators to seize failing companies, break them apart and sell off the assets.
This drastic action may wipe out shareholders and creditors. 
[[[ Ah, now company CEO, Shareholders, Creditors, all take special care of all, to float ]]]

To coordinate efforts to identify risks to the financial system, a “financial stability oversight council”
will actively supervise.

The bill would touch virtually every aspect of the financial industry, for the trading of derivatives, center of the 2008 crisis.

Derivatives would have to be traded on a public exchange and cleared through a third party.

Some of the biggest banks would be forced to give up their trading in swaps, the most lucrative part of the derivatives business, into separate subsidiaries, or be denied access to the Fed’s emergency lending.  [[[ Obama is plainly undoing Clinton -- Why
not throw Clinton in the ''Cooler'' for a while ]]]

None dreamt of a coloured president within 50 years of black popular musicians and sportsmen insulted for the colour of their skin

   US Supreme Court Nominee

In every society people are the same ---  Each individual has his or her own ideas and attitudes -- Freedom of Thinking
and Expression is the base of Democracy ---  It's NOT  done to have Democracy and demand Dictatorship ---  Give and Take is Democracy  ---  The credit of Democracy is tolerating Intransigent Idiots !

In a nation that was mainly formed by people who escaped from tyranny of Roman Catholic Church ---  Naturally the nation had an antipathy towards Catholics --- John F.  Kennedy was the first Catholic President ---
No coloured person ever dreamt of having a coloured president within 50 years of black prominent musicians and sportsmen insulted for the colour of their skin ---
Now the composition of the country's Supreme Court is - - -

Finlo Rohrer
BBC News, Washington DC

The nomination of Elena Kagan to replace the retiring John Paul Stevens on the US Supreme Court means,

The court will consist of six Catholics and three Jews - no protestants.

For much of its history, a geographical spread of justices was the top priority.
   
"As late as the 1960s you had a Catholic seat and a Jewish seat to ensure some kind of representation.

Now we have six Catholics and three Jews," says Prof Joel B Grossman. 

This shows how dramatically situations changes --- It is prudent to use imagination
in a positive way and create an attitude of acceptance for the benefit of our children.

Isn't it our duty to create a better world?

Four common U.S. cancers -- colon, breast, prostate & lung is ten times lower in India Prostate cancer is rare in India

By Dr. Mercola

For more than 5,000 years, turmeric has been an important part of Eastern cultural traditions.

 Valued for its medicinal properties and warm, peppery flavor, this yellow-orange spice has more recently earned a name for itself in Western medicine as well.

Turmeric is a native to Indonesia and southern India

It is one of nature’s most powerful potential healers.

Said Dr. David Frawely, founder and director of the American Institute for Vedic Studies

 “If I had only one single herb to depend upon for all possible health and dietary needs, I would without much hesitation choose the Indian spice Turmeric. There is little it cannot do in the realm of healing and much that no other herb is able to accomplish.

Turmeric

Strengthens and improves digestion

Reduces gas and bloating
Assists in the digestion of protein and with rice and bean dishes
Improves your body's ability to digest fats
Promotes proper metabolism, correcting both excesses and deficiencies
Maintains and improves intestinal flora
Improves elimination of wastes and toxins

Supports healthy liver function and detox

Turmeric helps increase bile flow making it a liver cleanser that can rejuvenate your liver cells and recharge their capability to break down toxins
Helps to prevent alcohol and other toxins from being converted into compounds that may be harmful to your liver
Supports formation of healthy tissue

Purifies your blood

Stimulates formation of new blood tissue
Anti-inflammatory: Helps to reduce irritation to tissues characterized by pain, redness, swelling and heat

Contains curcuminoids that fight cancer, arthritis, and Alzheimer’s

Counteract the damaging effects of free radicals in your body
Relieve arthritis pain and stiffness, anti-inflammatory agent
Anti-carcinogenic: “Curcumin has been shown to prevent a large of number of cancers

Supports treatment of Alzheimer’s disease: “Because Alzheimer's disease is caused in part by amyloid-induced inflammation, curcumin has been shown to be effective against Alzheimer's


Turmeric’s Cancer-Fighting Properties

In India where turmeric is widely used, the prevalence of four common U.S. cancers -- colon, breast, prostate and lung -- is 10 times lower. In fact, prostate cancer, which is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in U.S. men, is rare in India and this is attributed, in part, to turmeric.

French smoke and eat high-fat foods, with low rates of cancer and heart disease Science says drinking red wine is good for health

French smoke cigarettes and eat high-fat foods, yet still have extremely low rates of cancer and heart disease.
Scientists believed drinking red wine had health benefits


Resveratrol a miracle ingredient a compound found in the skin and seeds of grapes.

French smoke cigarettes and eat high-fat foods, yet still have extremely low rates of cancer and heart disease.

Scientists believed drinking red wine had health benefits

The Resveratrol in wine activates cells into behaving more youth-like.

You’d need several bottles of wine per day to get the anticipated benefit from Resveratrol.

Drinking large amounts of wine or other alcoholic beverages will increase your insulin levels, which will eventually have a negative impact on your health.

How you can get your highly-concentrated Resveratrol without the alcohol, sugars and calories of red wine.

Fresh organic foods are important not only for what they give you, higher levels of antioxidants and nutrients, but also for what they don’t give you… exposure to pesticides, herbicides, and non-organic fertilizers.

In comparing antioxidant activity against a few selected fruits and vegetables, oregano came out on top with:

42 times more antioxidant activity than apples…

      30 times more than potatoes…

      12 times more than oranges

Other herbs and spices that pack an antioxidant punch as well: cloves… turmeric… cinnamon… garlic… basil… and curcumin… to name a few.

Herbs and spices have emerged as a quick and convenient way for you to get a concentrated source of antioxidants – without all the extra calories of many foods.

Just as consuming too much of any food product can carry health risks, herbs should be used with moderation… and only as a complement to your healthy diet.

So, add a little seasoning and spice to your life and feel good about the antioxidant benefits they provide you.

Resveratrol  helps improve the overall health of your cells as a component of your cardio and neuro protection
   
Aids you in protection against age-related health disorders*

Provides therapeutic support for your immune system against abnormal cell activity*

Helps keep your cholesterol within its normal range while promoting your healthy heart.

Help protect your brain and nervous system as well.

Resveratrol may increase the lifespan in human cells.
So, it could be a determining factor in extending your longevity.

This is an article on the good Resveratrol a miracle ingredient - Found on Internet and reduced to 1/3rd -

மனம் போல வாழ்க்கை "It’s not what we don’t know that hurts us--it’s what we think we know that isn’t true that hurts us "

In the words of Dawson Church, author of The Genie in Your Genes

 "It’s not what we don’t know that hurts us--it’s what we think we know that isn’t true that hurts us."

Why does one identical twin develop cancer and the other remain healthy when they have identical DNA?

Why does one twin become obese and another remain lean?

Your mind has the power to create or cure disease

You are a being of energy, and as such, you have an electromagnetic component to every biological process.

Every thought or feeling produces a complex change in the make-up of your organs.

Blair Justice, PhD, author of Who Gets Sick, says,  ''genes account for only 35 percent of longevity while diet, exercise, stress and other environmental factors are the major reasons people live longer''.


          Heart surgery patients who have a strong social support and spiritual practice have better chances of recovery.

       

Meditating for just 30 minutes per day can boost your mood better than antidepressants.
       

Older people with positive attitudes have less chances of risk of death from cardiovascular disease and  lower risk from all other causes.

 Clearly, your beliefs, thoughts, and intentions have a much stronger affect on your life than your genes do.

We’ve always taught our children the importance of controlling their behavior.

But maybe it’s time to focus more on teaching them how to control what they think and feel.

Since beliefs and emotions are what trigger the expression of specific DNA.

 Even more importantly, what you think and feel may affect the DNA of your children, your grandchildren, and their children.

This is only a gist of an article I read on Internet.

On what grounds these money grabbing greedy Doctors recommend a new drug ? On the say so of a rich drug making company ?


This a gist of article received from

Government and many big businesses  seek to maximize their profit at your health expense.

Vioxx catastdrug killed 60,000 people from heart disease.

Thalidomide was highly recommended by Doctors to Mothers as very good Family Planning drug and it produced many limbless children.

These Doctors were paid large sums of money to recommend it to guileless women.

On what grounds these money grabbing greedy Doctors recommend a
new drug ?  On the say so of a rich drug making company ?
Do the Doctors study the drug trial result notes or count the currency notes
given them by drug companies ?

How many times have Laboratories focused on a result expected
by the company ?

Over a century cigarette companies bamboozled american courts by
issuing lab results that proved tobacco smoking has nothing to do
with lung cancer.

How was that ?   Money talks, eh?

துவேஷம் Negative -- இன தேடல் / சேர்மை Positive -- புறம் சொல்வது Indecent

துவேஷம் Negative -- இன தேடல் / சேர்மை Positive -- புறம் சொல்வது Indecent


முருங்கன் Guest House ல் தங்கியிருக்கும் போது பக்கத்து றூம் தம்பி ஓருவர் பேச்சு துணைக்காக வந்தார் ——   

பேச்சும் வேண்டாம் துணையும் வேண்டாம் என்ற எனக்கு அவரது தமிழில் ஓரு ஆர்வம் உருவாகியது ——   

அவர் திருகோணமலை என்றதும் நானும் பதிலுக்கு மலையகத்தில் பிறந்து ஆரம்ப கல்வியை St Don Bosco's  Hatton ல் தொடங்கினேள் என்றேன் ——  

ஆகா -- ஓர் ஓற்றுமை -- இன ஓற்றுமை எமக்குள் உருவாகியது ——   

சம்பாஷணை யாழ் பக்கம் திரும்பியது ——   

அக்காலத்தில் வழமையாக Train, Bus, Market, Liquor Bar என சந்திக்கும்
இடங்களில் யாழ் அல்லாத இருவர் சந்தித்தால் நிற்சயமாக யாழ் அகற்றும் காரணங்கள் அலசுவார்கள் ——   

இதன் காரணம் என்ன ?

அப்படி என்ன கொடூரத்தை எனது யாழ் இனம் எனது சகோதர இனங்களாகிய மன்னார், வன்னி, திருகோணமலை, மட்டக்களப்பு, மலையகம் மக்களுக்கு இளைத்து விட்டது என்பதை அறிய பல கால ஆசை ——   

நானும் கொஞ்சம் கூடுதலாகவே யாழ்
கல்வி திறன்,  நிர்வாக திமிர், நம்மட ஆள் கொள்கை எண்டு ஏகப்பட்ட விஷயங்களை அள்ளி அடுக்கினேன் ——   

கச்சேரியும் முடிந்தது ——    நானும் எனது ஸ்ரோர் அலுவலகம் திரும்பினேன் ——   

சொற்ப காலத்தில் பிள்ளையாண்டான் கொழும்புக்கு மாற்றலாகி ——    எனது மேசையில் இருந்த றெஐிஸ்ரறில் கையெழுத்திட்டதும்

''  ஆ,  அண்ணே நீங்களா -- நல்லதா போச்சி -- யாரோ யாழ் பய குந்திகிணுருப்பான்னு நினைச்சேன் ''

''Come on Hema,  I didn't do a damn -- in fact macho,  I haven't spoken to him or even seen the man ever since he came here ''  I replied.

'' I asked the chap many times to ''go to this office and do something'' -- the bugger totally refuses and he won't tell me the reason why --  I can't have him -- You get me another man as replacement ''

''Ok ok hold it -- Send for the chap now -- We will sort out everything''

தனது பிள்ளையை யாரும் குறை சொன்னால் -- முதலாவதாக குறையினது உண்ணயை விசாரிப்பசதே பகுத்தறிவுள்ள நபரது கடமை -- பிள்ளையில் குறை கிடையாது என்று கண்மூடித்தனமாக விவாதிப்பது ஞாயமாகுமா ?

எமது தமிழில், தமிழ் இனத்தில் பெருமைப் படுவது நியாயமே -- அப் பெருமிதத்தினால் ஏனையோரது எரிச்சலை சம்பாதிப்பது மடமையே ——

பல பாஷைகளிடம் சொற்களை பொறுக்கிய ஆங்கிலம் இன்று உலக பாஷையாக திகழ்வதை காண்கின்றோம் !    

மறைமலை அடிகளாரின் சுத்த தமிழ் போராட்டத்தை ஏற்றுக் கொண்ட அரசு
அண்ணாமலை தனது குமுதம் சஞ்சிகை

இவை காணுமே சுத்தமா கலந்ததா பொது மக்கள் பிரியம் என்பதற்கு ?

எனது பிழைகளை குறைகளை தயங்காது சுட்டிக் காட்டினால் என்னை நான் திருத்திக் கொள்ள உதவுகின்றீர்கள் -- நன்றி

New Deal regulations worked well for 60 long years. No hassle -- No trouble -- No problem Suddenly Bill Clinton signs two bills into Law

                                                                                              
ROBERT  RUBIN the Schemer


                                                                              
BILL  CLINTON  the Culprit                  

Financial Services Modernization Act

The Culprit and Scoundrels of Our Financial Crisis

New Deal regulations worked well for 60 long years.

No hassle -- No trouble -- No problem

Suddenly Bill Clinton signs two bills into Law 

(1) Financial Services Modernization Act

The toxic Act removed the division between Investment and Commercial Banking

(2) Commodity Futures Modernization Act

This devastating Act totally deregulated existing safety measures of 60 years standing

These removals are the initial causes of our financial melt-down  --  Economics savvy Bill Clinton denies it though

Every damn crook and liar denies his crime even when noose is around the neck on the scaffold

These Acts were pushed through by Robert Rubin the Treasury Secretary of Bill Clinton

Robert Rubin was earlier Vice-President of Golman Sahs

Henry Paulson CED of Goldman Sachs went off to serve as treasury secretary to George W. Bush.

Both of them together denied all financial aid to Lehman Brothers Bank, a rival of Goldman Sachs.

Lehman Brothers Bank collapsed and the run on all other banks commenced.

Henry Paulson was head of Goldman Sachs when those toxic mortgage securities were developed.

Millions of American homes were foreclosed making billions for Goldman Sachs.

Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein  basically pleaded ignorance about  company’s scams.

He was paid $68 million in 2007, the highest in Wall Street history,

Why were so many senior executives of Goldman Sachs were around presidents Bill Clinton and George Bush?

Clinton knew his economic stuff to know the repercussions of what he was to sign in as Law.

Bush was a moron who always did as he was told.   

Bill Clinton is the CULPRIT

Goldman Sachs executives were the scoundrels --

Chief od them all was Clinton's Treasury Secretary and top man of Goldman Sachs --

Robert Rubin the Schemer !!!

Next we will see the mess --  what these two got together and created for the whole world !

இலங்கையில் மீண்டும் இந்து சமய பாதயாத்திரை ஆரம்பம் !

இலங்கையில்  மீண்டும்  இந்து சமய பாதயாத்திரை ஆரம்பம் !

இலங்கையில் எமது பள்ளி பராயங்களில் பாதயாத்திரை செல்வதை கேள்விப்பட்டோம் --

சமயம் சம்பந்தப்பட்ட யாத்திரைகளே அவை --

வடக்கு கிழக்கு மாகாணங்களில்  இருந்து தெற்கில் உள்ள கந்தன் வள்ளியை கவர்ந்த கதிர்காமம்  செல்வதே முக்கியமானது --

படிப்பறிவு கூடிய 12 வீத தமிழர்களது திறமையை கண்டு அஞ்சி, ஏங்கி, வஞ்சித்தது உண்மை தான் -- சொந்த அனுபவம் --

சமய பாதயாத்திரை நீக்கப்பட்டு அரசியல் பாதயாத்திரை தொடங்கியது --

கட்சிகளுக்கும் இனங்களுக்கும் எதிராக பாதயாத்திரை நடாத்தி
பொதுமக்களை மட்டுமே பலி கொடுத்தனர் --

இரு இனங்களது அரசியல்வாதிகளும் தப்பித்துக் கொண்டனர் --

அமிர்தலிங்கத்தினது பிடிபட்ட மகன் ஐே ஆர் ஐயவர்தன அவர்களால் விடுவிக்கப்பட்டார் --

நாடறிந்த உண்மை --

இன்று மீண்டும் சமய பாதயாத்திரை
வடக்கு கிழக்கு மாகாணங்களில் இருந்து தெற்கு நோக்கி ஆரம்பமாகின்றதாமே ! --

இதனை இலங்கை வானொலி தந்தாலும் -- சிங்கள அரசாங்க வானொலி தானே என நம்பாத மக்கள் இருக்கத்தான் செய்வார்கள் --

அவர்கள், அரசியல்வாதி கெடுதியை போதித்தால் அவற்றை மட்டும் திடமாக நம்புவார்கள் --

பகுத்து அறிய இயலாத ஐடம் தான் அய்யா நம் சுயநல மக்கள் --

They do not cook their own food at home as ingradients are too costly -- and the family is immersed in re-payment of Housing Loan --

''2  Dollar  Help ''

It is sad indeed there seems to be a rift prevailing in our minds of the sufferings experienced by our people in the former war zone of Vavyniya  and those in other parts of Lanka.

To know the internal turmoil our Tamil people are suffering within Colombo,  mostly,  we had the oppurnity to explore two slum areas.

Wanathamulla,  where Saravanamuthu Cricket Stadium is established.

And Orugodawatte,  Welampitiya.

The people in these areas speak both languages --  Tamil at home and Sinhala in outter world --

They mingle freely and easily with Sinhala and Muslim communities --

And they emphatically state Tamil has no commercial value --

And school students say they speak Tamil to communicate with parents and elderly at home --  Even though parents and elderly could speak Sinhala very fluently.

The Tamil language bond is maintained at home.

People in Negombo and Chilaw too use Tamil at home and Sinhala out of home.

We identified two families --

Rajani Kanth -- A driver of 3 Wheeler who took us around and guided our explorative passage in those areas --

Father of two boys of 6 and 4 years.

They do not cook their own food at home as ingradients are too costly  --  and the family is immersed in re-payment of Housing Loan --

They pay an enormous interest at Rs 300/= per day --  Each each and every day !

Selvi,  Kalai Selvi,  a nurse at a private clinic and ''Elderly Day Care Centre'' --

                                             

In-mates of her bright home among 1000s of tin roofed hovels are --

Father - retired Petroleum Coporation employe, turned Auto-Rickshaw ( 3 Wheeler) who sold his auto vehicle to pay a month's
interest --
Mother a stomach cancer patient attending Maharagama Cancer Institute --
Brother - separated from his young family who contributes a small sum towards ''interest payment'' --
A ten year old son --

Selvi pays,  now close your eyes,  Rs 20,000/= a month as interest alone.

Am I helping the poor ?

Or am I biting more than I can chew ?

But my heart goes out to them too !

Vinegar is a product that can clean you, the dog, your car, and your house

By Allison Ford, DivineCaroline

A lttle lengthy article -- But has many useful tips for you and your pets and home too !

White vinegar has dozens of household applications

Vinegar is cheap, and it doesn’t irritate allergies like some fragranced cleansers.

Adding a few tablespoons of white vinegar to the water when poaching eggs helps the whites stay formed.

Add a few tablespoons to the water when boiling eggs, and if any shells crack, the whites won’t leak out.

If your leafy veggies are wilted, soaking them in cold water with a little vinegar can perk them right up.

After chopping an onion, you can eliminate the odor from your hands by rubbing them with a bit of white vinegar.

When cooking any vegetables from the cabbage family (like broccoli or cauliflower), adding a little vinegar to the water will perk up the taste and reduce the gassiness they can induce.

Vinegar's acid acts as a disinfectant and an odor neutralizer.

Clean and deodorize the garbage disposal by mixing equal parts vinegar and baking soda and putting it down the drain.

After letting this fizzing mixture sit for a few minutes, flush out the drain with warm water for a clean and stink-free sink.

The steam from a boiling a bowl of vinegar and water can loosen caked-on food and get rid of odors in the microwave, too.

Weapon against fruit flies -- set out a small dish of white vinegar and some smashed fruit, covered with plastic wrap with some holes in it–the flies crawl into the trap, but can’t get out.

If your stemware is cloudy from the dishwasher, wrap the glasses in paper towels soaked in vinegar, let them sit, and the cloudy deposits will rinse right off.

There’s no need to use bleach on tile grouting when you can let vinegar soak on it and then scrub with a toothbrush.

Bring lightly scuffed or dirty DVDs back to life by wiping them down with some vinegar on a soft cloth.

If you have water condensation marks on your wood, just rub the piece of furniture with equal parts vinegar and vegetable oil to remove them. Make sure to rub with the grain, and then invest in a set of coasters.

If a child has an “accident” on a mattress, clean it with a solution of vinegar and water.

Afterwards, pour some baking soda onto the mattress, and brush or vacuum the residue once it’s dry.

Spraying vinegar onto deodorant-stained shirts before the wash can remove the discoloration.

It’s also great for fighting mustard, tomato sauce, or ketchup stains.

Adding a cupful of vinegar to the rinse cycle of your washing machine can freshen up bright colors and give you cleaner laundry.

Acetic acid won’t harm fabrics, but it dissolves the soap residue that can dull dark clothing.

It also acts as a fabric softener, a static reducer, and a mildew-inhibitor.

Vinegar will also loosen chewing gum stuck to car upholstery, rugs, and carpeting.


Vinegar can function as a car cleaner and an organic pest remover.

If your car still sports a bumper sticker from two elections ago, remove it by spraying the decal with white vinegar to saturate the area, and the sticker will peel off in a few hours. (You might need to spray it a few times.)

Wiping down your car windows and windshield with a three-to-one vinegar-water mixture can keep them frost-free in the wintertime.

Kill weeds and crabgrass growing in sidewalks and driveways by pouring vinegar onto them.

A half-and-half solution of vinegar and water can even kill garden slugs if it’s sprayed directly onto them.

To extend the life of cut flowers, add a few tablespoons of vinegar to the water in their vase, along with a teaspoon of sugar

Wipe out itchy ears with undiluted vinegar to keep dogs and cats from scratching at them.

Cats avoid vinegar, so to keep them from scratching furniture or sitting on certain areas, spray a vinegar solution onto the spot.

For outdoor areas, soak a sponge in vinegar and place it in the forbidden area to keep cats away.

If kitty likes to mark his territory, spraying the area with vinegar can help eliminate the smell and deter recurrences.

Vinegar can disinfect, deodorize, and de-gunkify just about everything.

From shower curtains to sofa cushions, there’s not much that it can’t do.

As an alternative to expensive and harsh cleaning chemicals, vinegar is something you can feel good about keeping in your cupboards.

White vinegar and baking soda can even remove product buildup from hair and leave it soft and manageable.

Goldman Sachs, the Bank,  made billions of dollars --

During the collapse of the housing market --

US Senate investigation has discovered --

Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed civil fraud charges against Goldman Sachs

The SEC claims that Goldman arranged mortgage investments  --  without telling clients  --  that the portfolio was put together with help from a hedge fund  ---  that was betting on them to fail.

Senator Levin said the emails show Goldman shifted in early 2007 from neutral to a short position, betting that the mortgage market was likely to collapse.

The Senate panel will also hear on Tuesday from Fabrice Tourre, the London-based bond trader who is named in the SEC charges.

On Saturday, Goldman released a series of e-mails from Mr Tourre, in one of which he jokes that he has sold doomed investments to widows and orphans.

Shampoo, Cosmetics May Form Cancer-Causing Substance in Water Supplies

Shampoo, Cosmetics May Form Cancer-Causing Substance in Water Supplies

Anne Minard

National Geographic NewS

Your shampoo may seem harmless, but it could be contributing to the formation of a mysterious, cancer-causing substance

New research reveals that common household products such as shampoo can interact with disinfectants

Cancer-causing substances called nitrosamines.

Nitrosamines form in small amounts when exposed to chloramine, the disinfectant of choice

The chemical—a combination of chlorine and ammonia—has been used increasingly in drinking water disinfection

The study suggests "it's entirely possible that we're producing more problems—and maybe even worse problems—with chloramines,"

Nitrosamines are found in a wide variety of sources, including processed meats and tobacco smoke
