A wonderful place to spend my hard earned cash!
Review by confirmed purchaser
From my going through their door to receiving my delivery I was given an excellent all round service. Everything was as it should be and seldom is! My unit was delivered on the prearranged day in the time slot given and then my beautifully packaged perfect unit was unpacked for me and put where I wanted it to stay and they also cleared up all the packaging themselves....what more could I ask for? A true pleasure to buy from.

Touchy Feely
Rating: 2½ stars out of 5
Starring: Rosemarie DeWitt, Josh Pais, Ellen Page
Directed by: Lynn Shelton
Running time: 91 minutes
Parental guidance: Coarse language
In the 1962 melodrama The Interns, there's a scene where young actor James McArthur — playing a medical student who's not quite yet a doctor — is called on to deliver a baby in a New Year's Eve emergency. Afterward, he walks into the interns' noisy party in a daze, gazing down at his own hands in wonder. He has given life, and he glows with the miracle of it.
There's a similar scene in Touchy Feely, Lynn Shelton's odd new-age romance, in which the sense of touch becomes both a wonder and a torment to its characters. Abby (Rosemarie DeWitt) is a masseuse who develops a sudden aversion to the feel of skin; her brother Paul (Josh Pais) is an uptight dentist who develops a sudden ability to cure pain. Halfway through the film, just like McArthur, they both look at their hands as if they were foreign objects that have somehow betrayed or astonished them. They can touch, but they can't feel.
Touchy Feely is an examination of the sense of touch set in the world of healing therapists and people who run bicycle shops. It's kind of a parody, although it's not very funny, and kind of a love story, although it's not very romantic. What it does have is a sense of laid-back naturalism that's characteristic of Shelton's work (her previous film, Humpday, was a sly examination of male homophobia) and a touching performance by Ellen Page as Paul's daughter Jenny, a girl who can't seem to experience much of anything.
The plot moves in unconvincing parallel lines. Abby the masseuse, on the rebound from her previous boyfriend, is dating Jessie (Scoot McNairy), one of those skinny, bearded cyclists with an earnest demeanour that makes you wonder if he'll ever get a girlfriend, let alone the likes of Rosemarie DeWitt. Abby also is a client of Bronwyn (Allison Janney), a healer at the Terra Firma clinic who holds her hands over people and sends magical waves that open their energy passages. It's hard to know how seriously you're supposed to take these people, although Janney gives Bronwyn a likable bonhomie.
Paul, meanwhile, is as down-to-earth as a dentist can be. "Uptight, judgmental, rigid," is how Abby, who thinks he needs some sessions to have his energy passages opened, describes him to Bronwyn. She leaves out pinched and twitchy. Pais gives a performance of awkward unease that mostly involves screwing up his nose in a manner suggesting some food has gone bad, possibly in a patient's mouth. He's hard to watch.
Soon, though, he learns that he may have a magic touch: He can cure TMJ, a painful jaw disease. This happens just as Abby takes a close look at her skin, with all its minute cracks and curves, and becomes physically ill at the prospect of touching, or being touched. Like Julianne Moore in Todd Haynes's Safe, she has become allergic to her own world.
Floating around the edges of this haphazard story is Jenny (Page), Paul's daughter and dental nurse. There's not much to Jenny: She worries that her dad's practice isn't going well, but she's an unformed character. While Page can carry it off — she is perennially youthful — it's the kind of role she should have left behind by now. Juno could have eaten this girl for breakfast.
But Jenny gets the movie's big love scene, and Page breaks your heart with it. There's a sweet sincerity behind those big eyes, and when she confesses a secret yearning for one character, it's devastating. "Maybe you could just kiss me," she says. "It wouldn't have to mean anything."
Maybe that's the message of Touchy Feely: Kisses that don't have to mean anything, even though they really mean everything. This is a film that skims over the surface of something interesting but never gets at it. The energy passages remain stubbornly closed.

David Hupke outside his home in Lacey. / Robert Ward/Asbury Park Press
Although many have worked their whole lives, some fear they will never find steady work again. Here is one story.
Months without full-time job: 15
Last full-time job: Restaurant manager
Final salary: $50,000
Jobs applied for: Hundreds
Before he lost his job at P.F. Changs in Freehold in October 2012, David Hupke was living a solidly middle-class life. He and his wife, Beth, own a house in Lacey, and they have four children, ages 4, 9, 12 and 15.
Hupke, 49, had worked in the restaurant business for 30 years, 15 as a manager. He has an associate degree in culinary and restaurant management.
In May 2012, the chain was sold to a private equity firm, Centerbridge Partners, for $1.1 billion. Five months later, Hupke was laid off.
They kept a lot of their younger, cheaper employees, Hupke said. In the past, when he left a job, finding another one was easy.
Id be able to apply to four places, and get three offers, he said. This time is different.
Hupke has given his resume to five job recruiters with no success.
It just seems like theyre hiring kids with less experience and for less money, he said. Ive worked my whole life. At first you try to be picky and go for a good job and good benefits, but having four kids, and having to provide for them, your standards go down.
Until Dec. 28, Hupke was collecting about $600 a week in unemployment benefits. That money is now gone because Congress did not act to extend benefits for the long-term unemployed.
Hupke has gotten part-time work delivering newspapers, including the Asbury Park Press. He works in the middle of the night, starting about 1 a.m., and makes about $150 to $200 a route. He estimates that if he worked full-time delivering papers, he would make at most $18,000 to $20,000 a year.
He plans to seek retraining through New Jerseys One-Stop Career Centers, but fears he will not be able to afford college costs. He still owes money for student loans taken out when he earned his associate degree.
His wife was just offered a job at Walmart as a part-time cashier, at $8.65 an hour and is considering taking it.
The couple has managed to pay their mortgage, but is struggling to pay for heat and electric. The children have health insurance through New Jersey Family Care but Hupke is no longer insured.
You lose your sanity, you lost your sense of worth, Hupke said. You feel like youre less of a person sometimes, that youre not providing for your family. My best therapy right now is going out every day and trying to find something.

Chattanooga Airport FBO Dispute Reaches Conclusion
A bitter dispute that had been fought for more than three years reached its conclusion this week when it was announced that the Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport Authority will buy out the Tac Air FBO at the city's Lovell Field Airport for $12.375 million. Tac Air had protested the authority's decision to build another FBO at the airport, citing a lack of business to support two FBOs.
The authority at the time countered that the new multimillion-dollar FBO–currently operated by Wilson Air–was necessary to foster competitive fuel pricing at the airport. Tac Air filed a Part 16 complaint with the FAA, claiming the airport-subsidized facility was unfairly competing with its own, in violation of the agency's improvement federal grant policy, but after more than a year of deliberation the FAA ruled in October that the airport authority had not run afoul of its grant obligations.
"The combined operations on the east and west sides of the airfield will allow us to keep costs low while investing revenue back into the airport," said Terry Hart, president and CEO of the airport authority.

What Makes a Post Freshly Press-able: The Lost Shift Dress in My Closet's Abyss
Every day, a handful of WordPress.com bloggers are featured in Freshly Pressed. Each week, we take a close look at one post and why we thought it was Press-worthy.
This week, let's zoom in on a post called "The Lost Shift Dress in My Closet's Abyss" from Lady T's blog, Breaking the Contract. Lady T has struggled with a shopping problem for over a decade, and she wants to cut down on her unnecessary spending. She started Breaking the Contract to document this journey.
In addition to its intriguing title, I've chosen the post for several reasons:

My movie short 'One Small Camera', about the TT Experience is to be shown at the Isle of Man Film Festival, Sunday 15th September at 2pm and I can't wait!
I have been able to capture some unique footage of the TT Races, which is available for viewing at:
All material, including photographs, on this blog are copyrighted ©
Alot of elements have been thrown at the riders this year, causing delays and restricting practice; from the weather right the way through to bike problems, everyone has been affected but no one has taken their eye off their goal.
I met Stephen Thompson, who is riding for 'the peoples bike' this T.T., and he is so enthusiastic for the race which shows in the results he's producing. Hitting some great speeds things can only get better and better for the team.
At the pits, in the Grandstand, the petrol fumes hang in the air and it gets warmer as riders and their team feverishly prepare for the race. Now the weather has improved the aim is for faster laps in shorter times.
Returning after their first lap, riders say conditions seem good, with only one or two corners posing a problem. Guy Martin and Conor Cummins look like they've given it everything they've got and spend awhile discussing tactics with their pit crew before the next lap. All the riders are pushing themselves to the limit; providing spectators with a spectacular race.
Stephen is doing a fantastic job for 'the peoples bike', and now the T.T. Races are underway 2013 looks more than promising for a great result.
I was fortunate enough to get some brilliant footage from the races, which can be viewed at: http://www.youtube.com/user/123bluepoppy/videos
Here's to an amazing race!
All material, including photographs, on this blog are copyrighted ©
The sun beat down onto the Grandstand and the fresh air was tinged with petrol from the engines ready for the race to begin. All the riders are eager for this year's races; but with that said, at the team awnings there was an atmosphere of chilled satisfaction knowing they'd all done their best setting their rider to race.
As I walked amongst the teams I felt the happy anticipation for this year's TT and how glad everyone felt to be a part of this magnificent race on our beautiful Isle of Man.
As yet I haven't heard anything from the peoplesbike, but I can only presume that it's a good thing, and they are preparing for what's ahead. If I do get any updates on their progress I will let you know.
As a birthday gift this year I was given sponsorship to the peoplesbike.com and I'm looking forward to what this TT experience will bring. I've received the T shirt and thank you note; and I've been asked to continue with the blog by popular demand – so here goes!
Hoping to put more videos on youtube of this years events and still have some from last year to release and I'm looking forward to it…
To get in-touch please just contact me through youtube and stay tuned.
The Queens Diamond Jubilee consumed more than my weekend in glorious style; and I hit the ground running attending Wednesdays TT Races only for the rain to halt my momentum.
At the Grandstand all the teams are busy and feeling tense in the wait, fixing-up bikes and eager to get started. Fans mill around in the hope that the action will resume soon.
Such a highly skilled race is dependent on the right conditions, and with rain predicted for the rest of the week, I think we'll all be playing the waiting game. Though for me nothing could dampen down the amazing time I've had over the TT this year. Being able to witness firsthand rider and team competing in this thrilling race, and all the wonderful people I've met along the way, I have fabulous new memories of our spectacular Island event.
All this thanks to my £50, lotto scratch card win, paid sponsorship of 'thepeoplesbike.com'.

Lakers' Dwight Howard is perhaps the most dominant defensive center in the NBA. This season he is averaging 2.6 blocks, and is pretty much an intimidating force in the paint for any would-be opponent daring enough to go the the rim for the basket.
But last night, Bobcats' Gerald Henderson scoffed at Howard's reputation and proceeded to annihilate Howard in the fourth quarter.
While players were scrambling for a loose ball, Henderson got the pass from his teammate while cutting to the basket when he caught Howard with his back turned and dropped a vicious dunk on him.
It is so spectacular, even the Lakers' bench can't contain their appreciation for the dunk. Check it out.

As expected when you move on plan view you see the position on your sectrion view.
Why the opposite does not run (or al least in my case it does not)
Any idea ? Bug ?
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Civil 3D (2013) how much you have to improve....
Maybe I don't understand your question.
Are you saying that the Station Tracker on plan view does not move as you change station in section view but that if you move the station tracker on the plan view, the section view updates?
It works correctly for me.
I occasionally see what I think is the same thing. In a very complex drawing with many alignments and profiles, Station Tracker is somewhat erratic. If I have my cursor (crosshairs) on or next to an alignment and I activate Station Tracker, Station Tracker will not show the indicator line on the profile for that alignment.
But if instead I move the crosshairs to the profile, then Station Tracker will correctly show the indicator line on the alignment. I can repeat this reliably in that drawing.
For other drawings and other alignments, Station Tracker works correctly whether I start with the crosshairs on the profile, or with the crosshairs on the alignment.
Jeff, what if you wait a long time. Does the station tracker eventually appear?
Thanks everybody.
I think you dont understand my question.... (maybe my english....)
OK, the question is:
You have a station "selected", you have a line (the tracker)
-You move the mouse in plan view along the station and you view a line in both profile view and section view.
-You move the mouse in profile view and you see a circle in section view.
- You move the mouse in section view and you see NOTHING. I'd expect to see a circle in both plan & profile views .
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Civil 3D (2013) how much you have to improve....
Let me apologize. I thought you were asking about Section Slider. Even if your English isn't perfect, I should have been able to understand that part. ;-)
Now that I am looking at Station Tracker, yes, I am getting the same results you describe. It's either a defect or "as designed." If you have subscription you can log it as a tech support issue or you could post to the wishlist group.

Distinguish grace from mercy: Mercy-God's solution to man's misery. Grace-Covers the sin. Grace-Gives us what we do not deserve. Grace-Unearned favor which saves us. Grace-Deals with the cause of sin. Grace-Offers pardon for the crime. Grace-Cures or heals the "disease." Grace-Regarding salvation it says, "Heaven." Grace-Says, "I pardon you." New International Version (NIV) 11 For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. 12 It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, 13 while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.
Grace-God's solution to man's sin.
Mercy-Removes the pain.
Mercy-Does not give us what we do deserve
Mercy-Undeserved favor which forgives us.
Mercy-Deals with the symptoms of sin.
Mercy-Offers relief from the punishment.
Mercy-Eliminates the pain of the "disease."
Mercy-Regarding salvation it says, "No Hell."
Mercy-Says, "I pity you" Titus 2:11-14
Covetousness – the evil desire for something belonging to another – is one of the most deeply rooted emotions in the human heart.
The Apostle Paul, who as a Pharisee could speak of his faultless outward observance of God's Law (Philippians 3:6),
As for my zeal, I was a persecutor of the church. As far as righteousness in the law is concerned, I was blameless.
is finally exposed as a sinner by the command, "You shall not covet" (see Romans 7:7-8).
What shall we say, then? Is the law sinful? Certainly not! Nevertheless, I would not have known what sin was had it not been for the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, "You shall not covet."[a] 8 But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, produced in me every kind of coveting. For apart from the law, sin was dead.
He could refrain from stealing but he could not of himself refrain from coveting.
Anything whereby we may glorify God is a talent. Our gifts, our influence, our money, our knowledge, our health, our strength, our time, our senses, our reason, our intellect, our memory, our affections, our privileges as members of Christ's Church, our advantages as possessors of the Bible – all, all are talents. Whence camethese things? What hand bestowed them? Why are we what we are? Why are we not the worms that crawl on the earth? There is only one answer to these questions. All that we have is a loan from God. We are God's stewards. We are God's debtors. Let this thought sink deeply into our hearts.
Matthew 25
The Parable of the Ten Virgins
1 "At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Five of them were foolish and five were wise. 3 The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. 4 The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. 5 The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep.6 "At midnight the cry rang out: 'Here's the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!'
7 "Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. 8 The foolish ones said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.'
9 "'No,' they replied, 'there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.'
10 "But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut.
11 "Later the others also came. 'Lord, Lord,' they said, 'open the door for us!'
12 "But he replied, 'Truly I tell you, I don't know you.'
13 "Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.
The Parable of the Bags of Gold
14 "Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his wealth to them. 15 To one he gave five bags of gold, to another two bags, and to another one bag,[a] each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey. 16 The man who had received five bags of gold went at once and put his money to work and gained five bags more. 17 So also, the one with two bags of gold gained two more. 18 But the man who had received one bag went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his master's money.19 "After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them. 20 The man who had received five bags of gold brought the other five. 'Master,' he said, 'you entrusted me with five bags of gold. See, I have gained five more.'
21 "His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!'
22 "The man with two bags of gold also came. 'Master,' he said, 'you entrusted me with two bags of gold; see, I have gained two more.'
23 "His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!'
24 "Then the man who had received one bag of gold came. 'Master,' he said, 'I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed. 25 So I was afraid and went out and hid your gold in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you.'
26 "His master replied, 'You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed? 27 Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest.
28 "'So take the bag of gold from him and give it to the one who has ten bags. 29 For whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them. 30 And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'
The Sheep and the Goats
31 "When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.34 "Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'
37 "Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'
40 "The King will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'
41 "Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.'
44 "They also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?'
45 "He will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.'
46 "Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life."
One of God's primary means of encouraging Christians everywhere is with truth – truth revealed by the Holy Spirit. The repository of that truth is the Bible. That is what Paul wrote, "For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope" (Rom. 15:4).
……… "God of peace" (Hebrews 13:20). God the Son, the "Prince of peace" (Isaiah 9:6). God the Holy Ghost, the "Spirit…of peace" (Ephesians 4:3).
The prevailing idea seems to be, that I come to God and ask Him for something that I want, and that I expect Him to give me that which I have asked. But this is a most dishonouring and degading conception. The popular belief reduces God to a servant, our servant: doing our bidding, performing our pleasure, granting our desires. No, prayer is a coming to God, telling Him my need, committing my way unto the Lord, and leaving Him to deal with it as seemeth Him best.
Our wills must be broken to His will. To be broken is the beginning of revival. It is painful, it is humiliating, it is the only way. It is being 'Not I, but Christ,' and a 'C' is a bent 'I.' The Lord Jesus cannot live in us fully and reveal Himself through us until the proud self within us is broken.
This simply means that the hard unyielding self, which justifies itself, wants its own way, stands up for its rights, and seeks its own glory, at last bows its head to God's will, admits it's wrong, gives up its own way to Jesus, surrenders its rights and discards its own glory – that the Lord Jesus might have all and be all. In other words, it is dying to self and self-attitudes.

Surprise! Burger Records' Peach Kelli Pop are as cute as they sound with no nonsense bubblegum punk
Did you think a band with a name like Peach Kelli Pop was going to not be adorable? With songs like "Dreamphone" and "Do the Eggroll," Peach Kelli Pop sounds like the Shangri-las stripped down to their bare essentials and pumped way too loud through an old cassette deck, the limitations of old hardware clipping at the high notes and adding a de facto distortion to the otherwise bubblegum girl-group pop.

Terminal vs. Relational Thinking
Academics are known for their good thinking. Hartman and Sutherland in their book, Guidebook to Discipleship, speak of two alternatives in thinking styles that influence our effectiveness in ministry. They remind us of the distinction between "terminal" and "relational" thinking.
"Terminal" thinking is the process whereby activity and knowledge are objectives and ends within themselves. It is thinking that does not relate daily activities to a larger, overall objective. It tends to be thinking that is short-range, static, seeks to please others around them, and is controlled by programs. Terminal thinking is how most of us have been trained to think. Now, not all terminal thinking is "bad" thinking -- it's just not "complete" thinking.
"Relational" thinking, on the other hand, seeks to relate activities and knowledge to a specific objective. It tends to be thinking that is long-range, creative, seeking to please God, and uses programs to accomplish a larger or more comprehensive objective.
Here are some typical activities in which you may find yourself involved. After each activity is a typical "terminal" (T) and "relational" (R) answer to the question. Before you read the answers, answer the question for yourself. How would you score?
* Why do you go to church? (T) - Because I always have and it is a good thing to do. (R) - To worship with the Body of Christ and become better equipped to serve Him.
* Why do you teach a Sunday School class? (T) - I enjoy teaching and they needed somebody to do it. (R) - To touch others and prepare them for an effective life and ministry.
* Why do you attend Christian Faculty/Staff Fellowship meetings? (T) - To see some of my friends. (R) - To interact with like-minded colleagues to be more effective in reaching our world for Christ.
* Why do you invite people to an outreach event on campus or to your church? (T) - I think I'm supposed to, aren't I? (R) - To bring someone closer to Christ, and to continue my relationship with them so that they can become a discipler of others.
* Why do you do [anything] that you do? (T) - Well, I... uhhhhhh. (R) - To bring glory to God.
Jesus was a master of relational thinking. Try it and it can change your perspective, making your everyday activities exciting, adventurous and life changing. The time to begin is today.
Scripture: I Corinthians 10:31 -- "So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God."
Action Point: Begin to develop the habit of thinking relationally rather than terminally. When you find yourself planning for or engaging in an activity, ask yourself the important question of "Why?"

Photos from blood drive at Lifewise Fitness
The American Red Cross held a blood drive on Wednesday, August 27 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at LifeWise Fitness on Brambleton Avenue.
Q-99 radio personalities Dick and Dave, 94.9 Star Country personalities Robynn Jaymes and Brett Sharp, and Fox 21/27 were there to support the Red Cross Blood Drive.
Volunteer Judy Kristoff said, "It has been really good, regardless of the weather."
The Red Cross had a goal in mind for the drive which included about 60 people. Those in the community were able to register beforehand but walk-ins were welcome too.
As off 12 p.m., Charge Nurse, Kathy Wray said, "We've had at least 14 people sign in. We're doing pretty well."
This was the first blood drive held at LifeWise Fitness by the American Red Cross. Buffalo Wild Wings provided food for those who donated and drinks, cookies, and other snacks were plentiful.
Dalh Brown, with Donor Recruitment said, "This blood drive originated from this being a health center. It's been running on the radio and it's been going really well. We've had people walk in and people are really stepping up to the plate. The community has been great. I've found that when you ask people in the Valley to donate they are willing to help."
By the end of the blood drive, the Red Cross had collected 41 pints of blood and had 17 first time donors.
Check out some of the people who attended the blood drive at our gallery here.

Such a sorry saga … The government continues to intimidate and prosecute the journalists in Sri Lanka.
Its latest victim is a Tamil, J.S. Tissainayagam, the editor of news web site OutreachSL, who recently was jailed to 20 years in prison under anti-terrorism laws for criticizing the government. In my opinion, this harsh sentence came from the Sri Lanka President Mahinda's Office – not from the court. The furore distracts attention from the core issue of the 300 000 internees in the concentration camps. Just what did Tissainayagam write? In July 2006 he wrote in North Eastern Monthly "Providing security to Tamils now will define northeastern politics of the future it is fairly obvious that the Government is not going to offer them any protection. In fact it is the state security forces that are the main perpetrator of the killings". In November 2006 he wrote "With no military options Government buys time by offering watered-down devolution. Such offensives against the civilians are accompanied by attempts to starve the population by refusing them food as well as medicines and fuel". 20 years imprisonment for this? For these 2 articles? But then Tissainayagam is a Tamil and as the recently retired Chief Justice after a visit to the camps said "(minority) Tamils will not receive protection in Sri Lanka"
I guess Sri Lanka is the archetypal tin-pot 'de-mock-racy' that the West advocates?
Why, racial oppression..suppression of truth..liberty in chains, this is the reality!
Will there be justice for victims like Tissainayagam or just virtue practised from a distance?
You've got it right DamienVerse - "tin-pot 'de-mock-racy"
And the IDPs = Illegally Detained Persons : )
Tissainayagam, as it transpired in his trial, assisted Mahinda Rajapaksa in the late 1980's to translate documents regarding disappearances of the time, was sentenced to 20 years rigorous imprisonment for writing a small article on similar matters. The difference of treatment of Tissainayagam then and now explain quite a lot about the sinister politics in Sri Lanka.
In the late 1980s, Mahinda Rajapaksha cleverly used the popular anger against the existing government which caused over 30,000 disappearances and many other forms of violence. There was also international condemnation of these matters. However, the manner in which this situation was handled by Rajapaksha in Sri Lanka was very different to similar issues of disappearances, torture and extrajudicial killings handled in countries like Argentina and Chile. In those countries, meticulous documentation was made and evidence preserved of the cases of the disappeared, and for many years to follow there were huge demands for the prosecution of offenders. That struggle for justice made significant changes in these countries, which later brought about improvements which would make the happening of similar occurrences difficult.
Not so in Sri Lanka. Mahinda Rajapaksha did not fight for justice for the disappeared and their families. He never called for prosecution of those offenders.
Mahinda Rajapaksha promised officially to change the Executive Presidency and to bring about a more accountable government witch checks and balances against the Executive. This he failed to do and by now any possibility of him doing that does not exist.
The real political tragedy of Sri Lanka is that while everybody agrees that the system of Executive Presidency is creating one monster after another, who destroy all institutions and the foundations of all freedoms, there is no political will to abolish this system.

Bieng a journalist does not give you right to break laws. Tissainayagam lied , misinformed and mislead innocent youth into terrorism. These youth may be innocent and deserve pardon and rehabilitation. But people like him who is responsible for spreading lies and misinformation does not deserve a pardon. There are a lot of journalist who publish lies and misinformation for money. I wish the relevent countries take action to punish them even it is to the effect of another country.
Tissainayagam, he just explore the fact that, sri lankan government using Food as a weapon over innocent civilians in war time. We have to remember that Channel 4 media persons are expelled from eastern part of the island for reporting news to the world. In this situation writing the fact which is pro or against a government is a duty for a free media person. Media persons in many countries have done this as their duty. Tissainayagam has done it as a duty for the Underprivileged people in the island. More over CPJ confer International press freedom award 2009 to Tissainayagam.
Sentence to Tissainayagam candidly shows the state oppression on media in Sri Lanka.
Please note that, still no free access for any international media in to the IDP camps and War torn areas.
As a Catholic from Sri Lanka I am shocked a
at the double standards of the West against Sri lanka.
The neutrality and integrity of Tissainayagam and his Media Forum is debatable as Tissainayagam was a tool of the LTTE. While doing propaganda for the LTTE, he defamed the Sri Lankan government arousing racism in the country and supported the terrorists for a separate state.
The Award was made by the US Branch of Reporters Without Borders. This Media Forum while being critical of the Sri Lankan Justice system, turns a blind eye to the on goings of its own backyard, such as illegal imprisonment of Journalists from Iraq and Afghanistan without trial in the US. The Wall street Journal Editor, Paul Steiger, in a letter to President Obama recently stated that 14 Journalists from Iraq and Afghanistan had been held for years by the US without any judicial process.
One glaring case quoted by him was that of Photo Journalist Ibrahim Jassam, attached to Reuters. His only crime was that he had been the first to be at the scene whenever a bomb exploded and filming for Reuters to Telecast. In December 2008 an Iraqi Court in Baghdad cleared him of all charges and requested US authorities to set him free. But the request was turned down saying that he was a 'security threat'. So the West is playing the 'terrorist game' with different rules, one for the First world the other for the Third world. I suppose it is easy to beat up a 3rd world democracy. As Jesus quoted it is easy to point out the speck of wood in your neigbour's eye than focus on the wooden beam in your eye.
The Journalist who has been sentenced to 20 years is LTTE terrorist who under the cloth of journalist. All the evidences proved that he was funded by LTTE. in fact he should have been given death sentence. Gvt of USA (Obama Admind) and some western countries as usual still try to white wash and save LTTE. so called Journalist without borders are sleeping about 14 journalists who are under custody of US forces. Double standard hypocrites
In Sri Lanka The Prevention of Terrorism Act specifically prohibits people of spreading false rumors etc. This law may not exist in certain other countries. Sri Lanka has experience dealing with and winning against terrorists.
Terrorists have been torturing and killing people who speak against them for a long time. Today it is appalling that little or no criticism is directed towards the terrorists, and most is directed towards the Government.
Today terrorists are everywhere. Most people are still scared of speaking against terrorists.
J.S. Tissainayagam, makes up a long list of ethnic Tamil journalists that have been killed or silenced for being voices of conscience.
Why, even murdered Hindu newspaper editor Lasantha Wickramatunga is a recent example of the travesty of justice in Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka government of Mahinda R. is a mass violator of human rights. Period!
State-sponsored pogroms against Hindu Tamils, extra-judicial killings, white-van disappearances, assassinations of journalists and politicians, arbitrary detention, rapes etc. are just the tip of the iceberg in Sri Lanka.
The rule of law has long ceased to exist in the country. Charlatans and racketeers run riot and belligerent chauvinism is endemic in the country. The Sri Lankan government and the military junta are committed only to a law of impunity
Under majoritarian totality, anyone can be defined "terrorist" and killed or sentenced.
In Sri Lanka, given the fate of several dozen Tamil journalists and aid workers, Tissainayagam should consider himself lucky to be alive.
Sri Lanka is not safe for any independent journalist. Journalist can only report what the government of Sri Lanka says. If anyone tries to write the truth they will be stamped as terrorist and will be put in jail or worse killed.
Sri Lanka is not safe for journalist and is surely not safe for any Tamils.
World must act now to stop all this by work to allow independent media in Sri Lanka or put sanction in all the trade.
Or just sit and watch as Sri Lanka kills all the Tamils and anyone who tries to speak the truth, even if they were Signalise or International media.
Sri Lankan abuse of press freedom is shocking compared to Chinease (30).
This type of recalcitrance and violent conduct of a regime need to be contained and constrained.
Hatred and vulgar triumphalism when entrenched in the rulers mind - military slaughter, detention of civilians, abuse of press and judiciary freedom are norms for the dictators.
Do not forget. There is a receiving end which has been persecuted for several years since the independence of the island.
It just shows these socalled brave fellows impotency,in facing truth.They are using all possible illegitimate means to cover their face , asshole and impotency.Let us see how many lives they suck worldover.
Mr J.S. Tissainayagam was prosecuted and found guilty of
1. accepting money from a terrorist organisation (LTTE) 2. encouraging communal violence and disharmony through his writing.
for crime number (1) he was given the 'mandatory sentence' for being a terrorist i.e 20 years in jail. He will appeal and probably go free at the Supreme Court stage. if he is still found guilty he could be out in five years on probation, unless he gets an earlier pardon from the president.
All I ask from this 'respectable' media institution is: did you even attempt to get a transcript of the trial? did you even try to get a copy of the judgement before publishing this slander?
The violence is still being used to choke the voices of dissent in Sri Lanka.
The editor of the Sunday Leader, a Sri Lankan editor, was shot dead by unidentified gunmen on motorcycles as he drove to work. Following numerous encounters with the government, Lasantha Wickramatunga knew that his life might soon be cut short by those who wished to silence him, yet he pursued and exposed the truth regardless. His death is a great loss for the world of serious journalism.
Such treatment of journalists, and those closest to them, has led to a paralysis of the media community in the Sri Lanka. Two trends were noted in a Human Rights Watch resolution on Sri Lanka: lack of press access and independent information flow in the country, assaults on and intimidation of journalists covering the Sri Lanka.
This SL government just like many many previous ones is NOT going to bring anyone to justice. You see, the problem is that the government ministers would themselves have to be thrown in jail. The crime of silence is just too prevalent in Sri Lanka. The charges against the reporter are ridiculous. Do you hear any sound against criminals who started pogroms against the Tamils?
I saw that title of the article and suspected that it would not mention Ibrahim Jassam, a photographer working for Reuters and held by the US military even though the Iraqi Central Criminal Court ordered his release. Sadly but predictably Ibrahim Jassam was not mentioned, his case should be more worrying than the ones cited, the country that considers itself the beacon of democracy is holding a journalist indefinitely without even providing a reason.
Journalists living in glass houses should attempt balance when throwing stones.
Such crimes have long been endemic in Sri Lanka. The government & military junta is committed only to a law of impunity!!
61 yrs of self-rule (since independence from Britain in 1948) has but fuelled a pseudo-Buddhist dictatorship that has eliminated its Tamil population to second-class citizens.
Dharmeratnam Sivaram
Aiyathurai Nadesan
Mylvaganam Nimalrajan
make up a long list of Tamil writers killed by government death squads.
Why, even Lasantha Wickrematunge, a leading Sinhalese journalist was assassinated early this year. His crime, being a conscience of truth!
Tissainayagam also gave voice to the struggles of the oppressed, knowing the risks to his own life. As others before him, he too has paid a huge price!
Mawatha Silva
Your article is spot on!
Those who dare question the Rajapakse cabal dice with death and imprisonment. Could there be any coincidence in the fact that the Brothers have perfected the repressive methods that have gained notoriety in Iran and China?

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Nefeterius McPherson can never forget she's alive because Taitlyn Hughes died -- and the 39-year-old organ transplant survivor does not want to forget.
"It's one thing to say organ donations save lives," McPherson told a group of Charleston Area Medical Center staff members and specially invited guests Friday at a luncheon to stress the importance of donating organs. "It's another thing to say Taitlyn saved Nefeterius' life."
McPherson, a former athlete and fifth-generation Texan, had never been sick until November 2004, when she got excruciating abdominal pains after eating some ham.
In her first year of law school and of an analytical mind, she naturally deduced the ham had made her sick, and quit eating ham. More and more foods started making her sick and were purged from her diet.
"Sometime in January [2005], all I was eating was chicken broth," McPherson said. "Then, the chicken broth made me sick."
Soon, McPherson had to have emergency gall bladder surgery. Clearly, something more serious was wrong.
McPherson finally got a correct diagnosis in June 2005, when she found out she had a rare disease of the liver and bile ducts.
Surgery to remove diseased portions of bile duct helped for a while, but McPherson soon found herself in the hospital more and more often. By April 2011, she was hospitalized so frequently that her doctors said, if she got sick one more time, she would need a liver transplant.
McPherson was placed on the transplant list that May. There she remained for 172 days.
A couple of times, she came close to getting a new liver, but both chances fell through.
On Nov. 6, 2011, she got a call to get ready for possible surgery. It was the same morning that Taitlyn Hughes of Martinsburg woke up with a terrible headache.
Hughes had a brain hemorrhage, and she was rushed to the hospital. Hughes had expressed her wish to be an organ donor, and McPherson was told to stand by in case Hughes died and her liver could be harvested.
Already wracked with competing emotions at the knowledge that someone might have to die for her to live, McPherson felt both hopeful for her own future and sad for the family of the potential donor.
Then, through a slip of a doctor's tongue, she discovered her donor was only a child.
"How am I supposed to be happy for my gift of life now?" McPherson said. "I didn't think, 'Today I get my transplant.' I thought, 'Oh my God, that family just lost their child! That family just lost their child!'"
Taitlyn Hughes was only 12 years old when she died. When she was 11, she told her parents she wanted to be an organ donor, and they honored her wishes. Four people received organs from her body.
