The death of nine spectators during the closing ceremony of the Fourth International Tamil Research Conference ended all the efforts Sirimavo Bandaranaike government had been making in 1973 to pacify the Tamil United Front. The deaths pained the hearts and wounded the feelings of the Tamil people, youths the most.

Militant youths decided to take revenge and they selected Jaffna Mayor and SLFP Jaffna Organizer Alfred Duraiappah as the target. Duraiappah was close to Posts and Telecommunications Minister Chelliah Kumarasuriyar who had played a role in hindering the holding of the conference in Jaffna. Duraiappah aided him and was responsible for the non-availability of the Duraiappah Stadium for the closing ceremony of the conference.

According to information circulating among the Diplomatic circles in Colombo, the report to be submitted to Washington State Department by the United States Ambassador in Sri Lanka, on the protest campaign `Death to America` organized by the Sri Lanka Palestine Solidarity Movement, last Friday has started with the name of President Rajapaksa.

United States Ambassador Robert Blake urged LTTE leader Velupillai Prabharakan to renounce the Tamil quest for statehood in an interview published in the Sunday Observer Newspaper on May 25. With the owlish certainty which earmarks the glitterati, the Ambassador proclaimed that the Tamil people are not seeking an independent Tamil Eelam which Prabharkan is seeking. Indeed, he had discerned from his opulent ambassadorial milieu that a staggering 95% supported a solution within a united Sri Lanka, leaving Prabhakaran with a depleted 5% following.

Happy Vesak Day to all.

Even-though i had iMovie in My computer for long time, never bothered to use it.

Lately, since ML tried to explore the Youtube video and others who tried, Made me

excited to try it out. It is very easy to learn video editing program comes in every Mac.

The good thing i like about the iMovie is the slide show feature. i use Final Cut Studio 2

as my main editing program, but to do a slide show in it would have taken me very long

time than in iMovie. It is fast, automated and simple.

Thanks to Revy ! LOL

i followed ML`s and Revy`s instruction and tried this video, but not sure it turned out stereo.
