Without the Code of Conduct, One can not be referred to as a 'Sikh'. Without the Code of Conduct, One will suffer in the Lord's Court.

http://health.msn.com/centers/alzheimers/a...126581&GT1=8150 Spice Up Your Brain -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Preserve brain function with spicy foods. By PsychologyToday.com Here’s a tasty thought. Kicking your food up a notch with spices could preserve brain function and keep your brain sharp and strong as you age. Take turmeric, a spice that lends curries their yellow tint. It can curb mental decline and even slow the effects of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s. Researchers find it can effectively fight oxidation, the process behind a variety of bodily diseases. In the brain, oxidation trips up communication between brain cells, impairing general mental functions such as memory. Over time, all the body’s organs undergo cumulative assaults from oxidation. But the brain is especially vulnerable to decline brought on by oxidation because it has particularly weak antioxidant defenses. The brain has a built-in toxin mopper-upper—the gene hemeoxygenase-1, or HO-1—but it must first be activated in order to do its job. Here is where turmeric pitches in. A research team from the University of Catania in Italy and from New York Medical College has found that curcumin, the key ingredient in turmeric, strongly induces HO-1 expression in the brains of animals, thereby rescuing neurons from oxidant destroyers. “Oxidative stress causes inflammation, which causes cell death, then disease, and then neurodegeneration,” says lead researcher Nader Abraham, of New York Medical College. “But curry can not only prevent disease, it could help keep the brain sharp as people age” he says. Curcumin was singled out as a worthy spice to investigate in part because of the relatively low rate of Alzheimer’s disease in India, where curries are a dietary staple. Curcumin's antioxidant activity gives it value as a food preservative, which is probably why it has been used; the flavor is just a bonus. Indeed spices have been found to act as a kind of antibiotic, preventing or inhibiting the growth of more than 75 percent of food-borne germs. Their rich pigments often contain antioxidants. Doctors UCLA’s Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center have found that curcumin has one additional property not shared by most spices. It directly inhibits the production of amyloid plaques, the sticky substances that directly causes Alzheimer’s disease. Turmeric, in fact, seems to cut the number of amyloid plaques in half. About a tablespoon of curry a day, or 200 mg of curcumin, does the trick, says Dr. Sally Frautschy, associate professor of medicine at UCLA. “I eat curry at least 4 times a week,” she reports. Other spices are thought to possibly contain medicinal properties. Ginger and cinnamon are getting a close look. A powerful antioxidant in ginger called zingerone appears so far to have brain-protective properties like curcumin. Cinnamon may also have effects in the brain. So hurry to add curry to your diet.

The situation posted and the joke posted are two different types of situations. If you are a Sikh and God knows that Sikhs don't eat meat, since he made us, then he would provide you with veg nourishment. He also knows that if he sends a pig the Singh or Singhnee will not eat it. The rule is never never to break one's maryada at any cost. It is easy to say, hard to do.

I don't get the trimmed beard argument that so many people follow. They say they want to keep a "neat" short trimmed beard because it looks nice to them. What about Pita Guru Gobind Singh Ji? The reason that we have our identity is because of him. When you keep the hair on your head yet trim your beard, you are basically telling Guru Sahib that the identity that he gave us was flawed, cutting our beards is a "better" and "cleaner" look. That's a hot steamy pile of you know what. If anyone wants to call themselves a Sikh first step is the ability to keep Full Kesh and Full Dharee, no trimming. Once you can do that, then definately take Amrit which is essential. If someone who can't keep the basics of Sikhi, for one which is hair, then simply wearing a turban yet trimming their beard does not make them a Sikh. Bul Chuk Maaf Karnee Jeeo

http://www.sevatothemax.com/mp3s/show_file...rbani&cat_id=12 There are more files on the above link, check out the Ghost file, very interesting.

I actually never liked Firefox with the tabs and all. But IE7 is all about tabbing and what not, it's exactly like FireFox so I guess I'll have to get used to it.

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.mspx When installing make sure if you have a Security program running like, Norton or McAffee, be sure to disable it, otherwise the browser will not install.
