http://www.glamsham.com/movies/scoops/05/mar/21sikh.asp :TH: A leading Sikh body has demanded checks on the portrayal of the community in films and TV serials, but veteran comedian Jaspal Bhatti says there are no deliberate attempts to project Sikhs in a wrong light. Jokes on Sikhs doing the rounds on mobile phones, the portrayal of Sikhs in films and actors playing Sikhs without bothering about the sentiments of the community have irked leaders of the Shiromani Gurudwara Prabandhak Committee (SGPC). In a letter to Information and Broadcasting Minister S. Jaipal Reddy, SGPC president Jagir Kaur pointed out that Sikhs were being projected as objects of fun and ridicule. Noted Sikh comedian Bhatti, who has acted in several Bollywood films and popular TV serials, Sunday said his experience with the film industry did not reflect any deliberate attempt by people to project Sikhs in a wrong manner. "If a comedy scene or role was to be enacted, it would depend on the script of the film and what that character was all about," Bhatti told IANS. "I have not come across a deliberate attempt to ridicule the community. That way even Hindu priests, policemen and other people are projected in comic roles." Jokes about the Sikh community, which has played a key role in India's armed forces and in business circles, are commonly exchanged on mobile phones and email chains. SGPC president Kaur said Sikhs were a community of warriors who had defended the country's borders against attacks with great valour and their portrayal in films and TV serials was in bad taste. But Bhatti said films like "Border" and "Gadar" projected Sikhs strongly and everything depended on the script of a particular film. Kaur, however, urged the government to intervene immediately so that the wrong portrayal of Sikhs was stopped. The SGPC has demanded that Sikh representatives should be included on the Central Board of Film Censors (CBFS), the agency that clears all films for certification. "Only if Sikh community members were there, the wrong projection of the community would stop," Kaur said in her letter. Kaur said Sikhs should be made part of the CBFS and the Prasar Bharti Board that controls state-run Doordarshan television and Akashvani radio channels so that the Sikh community did not have to suffer wrong projections.

Would this be the same harbhajan u guys talkin bout? http://www.bradmancopyrightmaterials.com.a...u/capssingh.htm

There is this site with a die that we vegetarian bodybuilders should all follow, even our non-bodybuilding bros can follow this, but jus watch the amount of protein. http://ksteveh.tripod.com/menu.html ! Egg whites can be substituted by cottage cheese(paneer) mixed with applesauce

im around 15 percent body fat, i weigh 190lbs and im 5'10.5'', Remember, to get abs u have to be at 10% body fat and below

When did I, or anyone else say, that? how do u get that from my comment?

Alright, i dont think Waheguru wanted us to analyze every single little minute detail about every single type of food like this, yes, I understand the importance of being Vegetarian, but not like this!

The lack of protein can be counterbalanced by taking Whey Protein (Optimum Nutrition Brand is my fav)2-3 scoops is good but 1 times ur weight is how much u need in a day...so u dont need to be meat eater to be strong, I am a vegetarian bodybuilder (i eat eggs once a month)

I have a Q.... Do we, Sikhs, consider eggs to be "meat"....if so....wat bout non-organic eggs

lol I use tiger and lion interchangeably(both big cat family and both fierce as heck) Oye Sun loko india de Punjab de vich Sheran da raj hogiya Dhan Waheguru Dhan Waheguru

im 17 years old...so u guys might think im too callous or niave, but if u think bout it, there is no reason why u need a partner (bf/gf) at a young age(15-20), its not to procreate(for which we need a parter). I mean, if u need sum1 other than God to "complement" your life u are pretty pathetic and insecure...thass my 2 cents

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/spl/hi/pict...ries/html/1.stm These "Sikhs" say that Indira Gundi was not to blame for the riots, hmmm they seem to be forgetting why that <admin-profanity filter activated> was shot 25 times by her !Sikh! bodyguards

FINALLY...jus hope he duznt have a 7-11 accent

here in NYC there is this gursikh family that does langar for almost every wedding i have been to...the food is great and they make it in the Gurudwara

A Program for the intermediate athlete to the advanced one: This is a list of the most common exercise names you should know: Exercises HIT Training AND MORE INFORMATION (!WARNING!- Although this site may say otherwise YOU can TRIAN A VEGETARIAN)

There is more : Bodybuilding Terms A through K Bodybuilding Terms L through Z ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Many young lifters jump the gun when they first begin weight training. They go into split routines, using way too many exercies for each workout. I would like to help some "newbies" as it is put, get into weight training safely and effectively. Beginners in bodybuilding have 2 main advantages. One is when you have never weight trained before, you can see remarkable growth since everything is new to you. The other is, your muscles recover significantly quicker than more advanced bodybuilders, so you can train each muscle group more often. Someone who is new to weight training can recover in a 24 hour period where it can take around 72 hours of more for a more advanced bodybuilder to recover. For someone who has never weight trained before, i'd recomend getting into it with a fullbody split. The reason for this is, first of all, if each muscle recovers in 24 hours, it would be efficient to work it out every other day. Another reason for this is when someone has never used those muscles before, you don't want to start working them from so many different angles with so many total sets; because even though it is harder for a young bodybuilder to overtrain, this will do it. The reason is obviously that those muscles which were never used to a strenuous extent are now performing a greater amount of work than they can handle. Now to your first full body split. I'd recomend performing it 3 days a week: monday, wednesday, and friday. Though they can be performed any days of the week to accomidate your schedual, just allow atleast 1 day of rest inbetween each workout session. You should also switch splits every 6 weeks or so. I will be including 3 different splits, this way you can use each for 6 weeks, and by the time you are done with this, your body will be able to move up to your first ever split routine. In all of the following routines I am using 2 sets of 12 (2x12) for the majority of workouts. This means you would perform 12 repetitions of the workout, rest for 45 seconds or so, and then do another set of 12 repetitions. The reason i choose 12 is because higher reps will prepare your muscles for a more intense program later on. More importantly if you are using higher reps you will be using less weight, thus have a less risk of injury when learning the propper form for all of your workouts. By your third workout program, you can drop the reps down to 8 or 10, but no lower than that. Before beginning each routine, it is necessary to warm up. The last thing you want when beginning your weight training routine is an injury. Begin with a jog lasting for 2-5 minutes. Then stretch out your entire body. By this time you will be ready to hit the weights ***IMPORTANT: Remember, if you wish to be a bodybuilder THE most important thing is FORM. Never feel tempted to use heavy weight when your training partner is lifting half and you are only doing the rest by cheating. Stick to good form and keep the weight in control throughout the movement, and you will see gains, but if you sacrafice form for weight, your gains will come much slower (note: if you workout at home and don't have access to some of the equiptment, i will list alternatives in parenthasis) Workout 1 (weeks 1-6) Crunches 2x20 Squats 2x12 Leg Curls (or lunges) 2x12 Flat-Bench Press 2x12 Lat Pulldowns (or barbell rows) 2x12 Shoulder Press 2x12 Tricep Pushdowns (or overhead extensions) 2x12 Barbell Curls 2x12 Standing Calf Raises 2x15-20 Workout 2 (weeks 7-12) Leg Raises 2x20 Leg Press (or squats) 2x12 Leg Curls (or lunges) 2x12 Incline Bench Press 2x12 Lat Pulldown (or barbell row) 2x12 Shoulder Press 2x12 Lying Tricep Extension 2x12 Standing Dumbell Curls 2x12 Standing Calf Raises 2x15-20 Wokout 3 (weeks 13-18) Sit Ups 2x20 Squats 2x8-12 Leg Curls (or lunges) 2x8-12 Flat Dumbell Bench Press 2x8-12 One-arm dumbell rows 2x8-12 Shoulder Press 2x8-12 Over-head extensions 2x8-12 Incline Curl 2x8-12 Seated Calf Raises (or standing calf raises) 2x15-20 Upon completion of this program, your tendon strength will be built up, and your muscles will be prepared for a more intense split. Please take to heart that flawless form is essential to building a great physique, and remaining injury free. I also advise you to read about nutrition as well and formulate a better diet for yourself upon beginning a weight training program. Thanks to PoppaPump from Teenbodybuilding.com

Proper Nutrition: It's quite well known that nutrition is one of, if not the, most important factors of bodybuilding. I'd like to give a basic breakdown of some of the more basic aspects that everyone should be aware of. As for a very basic breakdowns, all food consist of: carbs, proteins, and fats. Again...this is on a very basic level (as it all gets much more complex). Protien (4 calories/gram) - Protien is the building block of muscle, so it's no wonder why bodybuilders are recomended to take in 1-1.5g/lb of bodyweight....minimum. There has been a debate that has still never been solved claiming that high protien diets aren't necessary, and even dangerous, and that high protien diets produce more of a placebo effect. But for every study which shows high protien diets are not effective, there is another showing that they are. This is still being debated, and most likely will continue to be debated for a very long time. It is believed that high protien diets are dangerous because it requires a lot of water to digest protien, a simple answer to this problem is to drink more water. It is also believed to put strain on the kidneys, again, drinking a lot of water will help with this problem. Though most of these claims of protien being dangerous are outdated, people still choose to believe, and preach this theory. Though there seems to be no real threat, i figured this debate was worth mentioning to clear up any concerns that a new bodybuilder might have. Carbohydrates (4 calories/gram) - Carbs are much more complicated than protien because each carb source is different and should be used in a different way. Here's a basic run down: 1) Slow-Digesting Carbs(natural): yams, wild rice, beans, oats, fruts...all natural carbs are in this category. These are ideal for most people as they are digested slowly providing you with energy throught the day. They also don't spike insulin levels which is very unwanted for if you're metabolism isn't on the freakishly fast side, you're going to be gaining some fat. 2) Fast-Digesting Carbs(man-made): white bread, bagels, white rice, cold cerials, fruit juices, and other man-made carbs. These carbs hit the blood stream quicker and produce an insulin spike, which is generally only of use post-workout. 3) Bodybuilders with excess bodyfat should consume slow-digesting carbs 4) If you are low in bodyfat and have a hard time putting on weight, fast-digesting carbs can be usefull as you will be able to eat more of them and it will help stimulate appetite. 5) Take in slow-digesting carbs before training because your body will need them to sustain energy. 6) Immediately after training, take in fast-digesting carbs. They will spike insulin levels switching your muscles from a catabolic to an anabolic phase. Durring this phase after training you can take in up to .7 g of carbs/lb. 7) It is recomended to get 2.5-3 times your bodyweight in carbs/day. Use the information above to determine what sources you should get these carbs from. Fat (9 calories/gram): This is the most feared of all of these 3 nutrients because common logic is, if someone doesn't want to store excess fat in their body, why would they eat something that bears the same name? The thing that most people don't know is, fat is as essential to a propper diet as anything else, it's just a matter of taking in the right fats. First of all, fat is very essential as it serves to keep you warm, and more importantly cushions your organs. The body also calls on fat for energy. Fats are probably the least complicated of all of these nutritents, as there really isn't much to say about them. Many people don' t even count fat calories, they just limit the amount of saturated fat which they take in. I will say this though; it is very important to make sure you are getting all of your essential fatty acids. These are fats which the body needs and not just stored as fat as saturated fats are. You can get your essential fatty acids from fish, nuts, flax seeds, almonds, and avacados, just to name a few. With fat taken from these sources, you can supply your body with the fats that it needs without fearing your waist line expanding. I included the calories/gram of all of those because, though you should be more concerned with where your calories are coming from, you should be sure to eat 200-300 calories over your maintnance levels every day in order to grow. If you wish to find out your maintnance levels, take a week where you just eat to maintain. Eat when you're hungry, and stop when you're not hungry anymore. Right down everything you eat in detail, and at the end of the week, add all of the calories up, and devide it by 7 (because there are 7 days in a week). The number you get is your maintnance calorie level. Add 200-300 calories on to that and you're set. As you are just getting into bodybuilding, you are probably eating roughly 3 meals/day, with the occasional snack thrown in....well in bodybuilding, that crow won't caw It has been understood for a very long time that you must change your eating patern from 3 large meals per day, to several small ones. There are several reasons as to why this method is best. First of all, your body gets a constant supply of nutrients throughout the day, so you can constantly feed your muscles (as they are metaboliclly active, and you're sure to have atleast 1 muscle group that is still recoving from it's previous workout) and grow. Another reason is because your body can only digest so much protien at a time. It varies from person to person but it's generally around 30g (though you can take in more upon waking up and post-workout). If you were to eat 3 meals a day, that would mean your body would only be digesting around 90g of protien and the rest would serve as empty calories to be stored as fat. Here are some sample meal plans that a bodybuilder may follow. Feel free to use these as guides, but they must be customized to tailor your caloric needs and schedual. ---------- Thanks to www.bodybuilding.com
