"This is why you should always check your child's homework before they go to school:

(Here's the reply the teacher received the following day)

Dear Mrs. Jones,
I wish to clarify that I am not now, nor have I ever been, an exotic dancer.

I work at Home Depot and I told my daughter how hectic it was last week before the blizzard hit. I told her we sold out every single shovel we had, and then I found one more in the back room, and that several people were fighting over who would get it. Her picture doesn't show me dancing around a pole. It's supposed to depict me selling the last snow
shovel we had at Home Depot.

From now on I will remember to check her homework more thoroughly before she turns it in.

Sincerely, Mrs. Smith "

Raw Papaya juice as a Dengue Fever Remedy-can someone confirm this?

I got the following chain mail about the use of raw Papaya juice as a remedy for Dengue fever.according to the e-mail its a successful remedy and cites some occasions where it had shown remarkable improvements in some patients.

E-mail itself carried the signature of one Medical Doctor Dr Newton Jayawardana,Consultant Surgeon at the Teaching Hospital in Ragama.But I'm not so sure if he is the originator of this mail nor he is the one who is confirming this remedy after clinical test however, if raw Papaya juice is indeed a remedy i think it will change the whole dynamics of the current fear of the threat of Dengue epidemic as Papaya leaves is something widely available in almost all parts of Sri Lanka,especially in Dengue prone parts.

I wonder if someone with Medical background can confirm this.. Below i reproduce the e-mail in full:

Dengue Fever Remedy

I would like to share this interesting discovery from a classmate's
son who has just recovered from dengue fever. Apparently, his son was in the
critical stage at the ICU when his blood platelet count drops to 15 after !
15 liters of blood transfusion. His father was so worried that he seeks
another friend's recommendation   and his son was saved. He confessed to me
that he gave his son raw juice  of the papaya leaves. From a platelet count
of 45 after 20 liters of blood transfusion, and after drinking the raw
papaya leaf juice, his platelet count jumps instantly to 135. Even the
doctors and nurses were   surprised. After the second day he was discharged.
So he asked me to pass this good news around.

Accordingly it is raw papaya leaves, 2pcs just cleaned and pound and squeeze
with filter cloth. You will only get one tablespoon per leaf. So  two!
Tablespoon per serving once a day. Do not boil or cook or rinse with hot
water, it will loose its strength. Only the leafy part and no stem or sap.
It is very bitter and you have to swallow it like "Won Low Kat". But it
works.

Papaya Juice - Cure for Dengue

You may have heard this elsewhere but if not, I am glad to inform you that
papaya juice is a natural cure for dengue fever. As dengue fever is  rampant
now, I think it's good to share this with all. A friend of mine had dengue
last year. It was a very serious situation for her as her platelet count had
dropped to 28,000 after 3 days in hospital and water has started to fill up
her lung. She had difficulty in breathing. She was only 32-year old. Doctor
says there's no cure for dengue. We just have to wait for her body immune
system to build up resistance against dengue and fight its own battle. She !
already had 2   blood transfusion and all of us were praying very hard as
her platelet continued to drop since the first day she was admitted.
Fortunately her mother-in-law heard that papaya juice would help to reduce
the fever and got some papaya leaves, pounded them and squeeze the juice out
for it. The next day, her platelet count started to increase,her fever
subsided. We continued to feed her with papaya juice and she recovered after
3 days!!!

Amazing but it's true. It's believed one's body would be overheated when
one is down with dengue and that also caused the patient to have fever.
Papaya juice has cooling effect. Thus, it helps to reduce the level of heat
in one's body, thus the fever will go away. I found that it's also good when
one is having sore throat or suffering from heat. Please spread the news
about this as lately there are many dengue cases. It's great if such natural
cure could help to ease the sufferings of dengue patients. Furthermore it's
so easily available. Blend them, squeeze the juice, drink immediately! It's
simple and  miraculously effective!!

Rebel of Kandy on breaking the Eelam myth

Rebel of Kandy has couple of very interesting posts on the myth of Tamil homeland and breaking Eelam in his blog. he has started to go into historical details and doesn't get bogged down with rhetoric.. i think every one interested in problems faced by this country needs to read Rebels blog posts and follow Rebels future writings..

I also recommend this to Ms.Janani 'Genocied Jan' Jananayagam and Professor Bruce 'Hawaii five O'  Fein to read well and read bloody well..and get a hold of the historical context and then have a reality check.

Of course , I'm not so sure if Ms.Janani 'Genocied Jan' Jananayagam can overcome her chronic constipation by just reading Rebels blog since her defeat in MEP elections may have increased her frustrations over people in Europe ,especially European Tamils and by the monumental let down by the Diaspora against 'genocide' flop!

M.I.A & LTTE Inc.Donate Cargo Ship to Sri Lanka Navy Today..

With great appreciation and humility, the Sri Lanka Navy received the donation of cargo ship MS Captain Ali today ,said in a statement issued by the Navy Headquarters in Colombo.

Ship was captained by a fat Icelandic gentlemen of dubious character accused (believed to be true..) of being a reputed international smuggler and provider of support to terrorists, Mr. Kristjan Guðmundsson and was seen sweating his fat ass in the presence of Sri Lanka Navy personnel at the time of handover.

Mr. Guðmundsson speaking on behalf of Mr.Arjunan Ethirveerasingam, the Coordinator and chief-at-large of LTTE Inc's 'Charity fundraising section'' said the donation was made possible by the support of celebrity personalities in the likes of International recording star and multimedia artist Maya Arulpragasam (M.I.A) and charity organisation like LTTE Inc.,the fully owned International subsidiary of LTTE of Sri Lanka.

Sadly there were no representatives of LTTE Inc.'s Sri Lanka based mother charity the LTTE due to it going out of business few weeks back.

Nevertheless LTTE Inc.representatives present said the LTTE Inc.has a avid following overseas, especially in Western nations like UK,Canada,France and mostly Scandinavian counties like Norway,Sweden etc.,and pledged it will continue to support 'peace' activities in Sri Lanka in the years to come.

Sri Lanka Navy representatives added that from 2006 to 2009 it had encountered nine other 'mercy missions' to Vanni and further said it was proud to be able to help such missions to achieve its ultimate goal of setting up artificial underwater reefs in the Indian Ocean.

MS Captain Ali will be commissioned as L009 and will enter Sri Lanka Navy service soon after its refitted with standard Navy systems and armaments and will contribute to logistical service's of Govt of Sri Lanka in ferrying much needed material and goods to North and Eastern Ports of Sri Lanka,Navy representatives further added.

Great leaders and leadership of LTTE for tomorrow and beyond..

Great Leader Kim Il Sung and Dear Leader Kim Jong Il of North Korea and Great Leader and Sun God V.Prabakaran and Great War Hero and Warrior of the new Liberation Tigers Gen.Charles Anthony of mythical state of Eelam..(that once was..)

"i have both pix framed on my living room wall, they give me inspiration and great strength..." said Vaiko.

By the way, that porker Charles Anthony needs to shed some Kg, if he to succeed his father's reign of terror, especially given the fact that he has to lead the 'LTTE of tomorrow' from deep inside a toilet pit under some Cadjan hut in some desolate corner of Mullativu..

Or may be he'll be picked up by a LTTE merchant ship and be taken to Pyongyang to join the Great Leader..

[ dose a wider waistline add up as a serious criteria for succession? ]

UK wants Vedha chief protected

UK Govt wants to send over a special representative on Vedha issues, as the news spread of a threat on the life of Vedha Chief yesterday. already the UK Parliament has appointed some retired civil servant and a few former MPs who are now on UKs LTTE front organizations payroll as a parliamentary group on Vedha community in Sri Lanka and called on the Govt here to do more to stop 'threats emanating from within the Government against LTTE and its supporters in Vanni' ..

When contacts the Vedha chief was surprised to find the UK Parliaments move and further recalled how his father had told him about not trusting the Sudda for the simple reason of how they had chased the Vedha out of their traditional lands during the colonial period and recalls the suddha cutting trees and doing big game hunting ,while prosecuting the Vedha for 'destroying Crown fauna and flora' and further added that the Police had already recoded a statement and are conducting an investigation over the threat and further said  "any suddha can come but we know how to deal with the sudda and the people who threaten us"...and  ended by saying "sudda will use the threat to highlight something totally different to the problem at hand.."

As i write this, Dr.Jehan Perera has already condemned the threats against the Vedha chief and is calling the Govt. to go for a ceasefire with the LTTE and reconsider a plan by some Flower Road based 'Civil Society' group to grant federal powers to LTTE in Vanni with a Norwegian Government funded NGO to administer the territory 'in trust' ,so to ensure the safety of the Vedha community in South-Eastern Sri Lanka!

And all this is for the safety of the Vedha I'm told!
