Maia MacCarthur and Kiana Wilson

Nikola Tesla was born in Austro-Hungaria, Croatia on July 10, 1856. At his birth, the midwife said, `He`ll be a child of the storm,` to which his mother replied, `No, of light,` little did they know the drastic change he would bring to future generations through light. He is one of the great men who divert the stream of human history, Life magazine (September 1997). Over a hundred years ago, Nikola Tesla, one of the greatest inventors of all time, developed and patented over 700 inventions. Tesla intended to improve the course of human life by inventing a method of harnessing and transmitting the earths natural electrical energy (1) which produced free wireless electricity, (2) provided internet-like communications, and (3) expanding electrical science.

Terrorism - a curse for humanity.

Mahinda has to die for his crimes and terrorist acts on innocent `Sri Lankans`. But in a country divided by chauvinism, this guy is likely to be REELECTED.

Jaya Weva !

Ohm Namah Shivaya !

BTW, how come various manmade underwater remains have been found in various places like Japan, South India, North West India, Alexandria, and Bimini ?

Think again. The sea level was about 100 m below the actual level, about 12`000 years ago.

And why various ancient literrature (Sumerian, Indian, Hebrew, Greek) talk about great deluges ?

The top of an iceberg..

Nadi Astrology is a special type of Vedic astrology created by divinely inspired sages who gathered special insight to know about the future of certain souls and wrote them on palm leaves around thousands of years ago.

P.S: I post, you decide ! Don`t call me names !

But I guarantee, by experience, it is AMAZING thing when the Palm reader find your own Kandam by finding your personal name, and read out all the information about you.

God bless this BABA.

[TamilNet, Saturday, 26 September 2009, 17:34 GMT]
Twenty-four fishermen from Keechchangkuppam in Naakarkoayil area in Tamil Nadu fishing in Naaakarkoayil seas in five boats Friday night were brutally assaulted and cast naked in the seas by Sri Lanka Navy (SLN) soldiers, sources in Naakarkoayil said. SLN soldiers had beaten the fishermen on their heads with the ice blocks taken by the fishermen to preserve their catch, the sources added. Fishermen in the coastal areas of Tamil Nadu saved the 24 fishermen who managed to swim ashore Saturday morning and admitted them in the local hospital, the sources further said.

Statement by Human Rights Watch

World leaders in New York for the United Nations General Assembly and the G-20 economic summit in Pittsburgh should call on the Sri Lankan government to immediately release more than 260,000 displaced persons illegally confined in detention camps, Human Rights Watch said today.

Human Rights Watch said it was concerned about a lack of protection mechanisms in the camps and the secret, incommunicado detention - and possible enforced disappearance - of suspected combatants.

The Sri Lankan Navy reportedly opened fire in the air in the early hours on Tuesday and destroyed the fishing nets and the fish catch of the four mechanised boats off Kottaipattinam coast in Pudukottai district.

A senior official of the Fisheries department told The Hindu that 12 fishermen of Kottaipattinam coast ventured into the sea in four mechanised boats on Monday morning and the incident occurred while they were fishing in the early hours on Tuesday.

Gethin Chamberlain talks to Damilvany Gnanakumar, a 25-year-old British Tamil who witnessed the horrors of the conflict and was later imprisoned in an internment camp

The United Nations has vowed to press Sri Lanka to speed up the release of nearly 300,000 Tamil civilians held in displacement camps since the end of the civil war.

Critics have accused the government of keeping people in the de facto prison camps without good reason

But government officials say there may still be Tamil Tiger fighters hiding among the civilians.

The top theories:

* Split-screen trickery?
* A false wall hiding an assistant?
* `E-ink` balls?
* Filming every possible combination?
* Or is Derren just magic...

Derren Brown is a man who has appeared to play Russian Roulette on live television, using a revolver filled with genuine ammunition. But even by his standards, his latest stunt was a real jaw-dropper.

On Wednesday at 10.35pm, having boasted for days that he would predict the six main ball numbers in the midweek National Lottery draw, Brown went on-air, live across all Channel 4`s terrestrial and satellite channels.

Damning review accuses the country of failing to honour human rights pledges after end of the war against Tamil rebels

Sri Lanka`s top diplomat today hit out at the European Union for `punishing` the country, after EU investigators recommended cancelling a 1bn trade concession over the country`s failure to honour human rights commitments.

Palitha Kohona, Sri Lanka`s ambassador to the UN, said the country would `handle the loss` of the export privilege, which allows businesses on the island to export 7,200 items to Europe duty free.
