RajputSingh, will you teach me how to wield a sword?

There should be no 3ho you say. Okay, fair enough, then there also should be no akj, no taksali, no dodra, no naamdhari ... etc (you get my drift)

If it happens at every wedding you guys go to, then I must say you need to change your sangat.

Interesting. I want to ask, in those times, how could they do their nitnem, without light? with fire?

People had nitnem and a lot of other bani's memorized. We have gotten lazy and complacent, we don't even try to memorize any bani. Think about it, if you had the entire nitnem memorized, you could be anywhere and still be able to do your nitnem. If you are going to school or work, this could save you 40 minutes easily as you don't even have to sit down to do your nitnem. You could do it while you are on the bus!

The best you can do is explain to your cousins the implications of marrying someone who follows a different path. If they don't understand then let it be.

SOMEONES GNA GET THEIR HEADS CHOPPED OFF IN A MINUTE!!!!

1 minute was over a long time ago, who got their head chopped off? :rolleyes: Calm down son, this is just a forum...

Noone it was an empty threat to nobody in particular I was just really ticked off at the time :| And i've taken my Ritalin so its all chill here :lol:

Good job son! Pat yourself on the back for not forgetting to take your meds

As per Giani Thakur Singh Jee Chaupai Sahib will clear any obstacles in your path. Do this bani as many times as you can daily, and watch the magic happen I am seriously thinking of doing the same as well, my Career is in shambles.

Contrary to popular belief, it's not a good idea to exercise before going to up. You want your heart rate to slow down, not speed up as it gets near to bed time.

What in the blue pajama are you thinking of doing :6

When I read the thread title the Jago song came to my mind "Jatta jaag vai oh hun jago aia, shava vai hun jago aia, balley vai hun jago aia" :lol:

Oye! don't ever call me a body builder <_< There is a HUGE difference between strength building and body building

Jassa is right, if you have a hard labour job, you will get more tired than say a person who has a desk job and thus you will require more sleep. If you are like me and workout hard, then you will NEED to sleep more or in a few days your body will simply crash.

Also, it could be the quality of sleep not quantity. A normal person needs only 4 hours of deep sleep/night; problem is it takes 2 hrs to get to deep sleep and 2 hrs to come out of it (roughly speaking). Perhaps a better suggestion would be to figure out how to go into and come out of deep sleep faster.

*sighs*

The concept of 'gut feeling' can be thrown out the window as most of us, including me, are not in touch with our true inner self. But it looks like Pritam Singh is

Nicely built app, good job

PS. May be it's just me, but when I view ang by ang, it seems each ang finishes a lot faster than when I do path from Guru Sahib's saroop directly... :umm:

^ Hai hai, I was eating when I started watching it. At least put a disclaimer man lol

You babies are still fighting over this?! :rolleyes:

Strawberries coloured crimson, grapes tinted deep purple and limes shaded green. For some of the estimated 422,000 Canadians who suffer from colour blindness – the most common genetic disorder – the true colour of those fruits is often replaced by dull shades of grey.

But new research published in the most recent issue of the journal Nature suggests there may be a way to correct vision disorders such as colour blindness, which were long thought to be incurable in adults.

A team of scientists from the University of Washington and the University of Florida have brought full-colour vision to two adult squirrel monkeys that suffered from red-green colour blindness using gene therapy. Because monkeys and humans have very similar retinas, the researchers believe the techniques they used could improve the vision of humans, too.

The monkeys were trained to do the Cambridge Colour Test, the standard test used to detect colour blindness in humans. They were presented with three panels on a monitor – two were blank and one had a pattern of coloured dots on it – and had to touch their noses to the panel with the pattern. If they were correct, they were rewarded with a sip of grape juice, but if they were wrong, the researchers played a buzzing sound.

Because the monkeys were colour blind, they continually guessed and had a success rate of about 33 per cent, said William Hauswirth, one of the study's authors and a professor of ophthalmology and molecular genetics at the University of Florida.

Then, scientists injected each monkey's retina with a human virus that contained the gene that allows the eye to detect red. They also injected a piece of DNA to regulate how the gene is made into protein. They anticipated the monkeys would open their eyes to a new world after the treatment.

At first, there was no change in the vision test results.

“We started losing hope,” Dr. Hauswirth said.

But after 15 weeks, he and his research partners noticed something dramatic: the monkeys' success rate jumped to 95 per cent – they could see red.

“We demonstrated that we can add a new colour response to a primate. If we can do it in a monkey, we can almost certainly do it in a human,” Dr. Hauswirth said.

This research could prove useful for those diagnosed with achromatopsia, what Dr. Hauswirth describes as a “very debilitating” form of coloured blindness. Sufferers are very sensitive to light and often have to wear red contact lenses and sunglasses when they are indoors.

This process could also benefit people suffering from a range of vision disorders that stem from a problem with the cones in their eyes, which sense light and are key to colour vision.

“This is the first demonstration that you can treat cones with the gene they're missing,” Dr. Hauswirth said.

Alex Goulet-Hanssens, a 23-year-old master's student at McGill University in Montreal, has long eschewed the label “colour blind.”

Though there have been signs of the disorder since he was in Grade 9, when he mistakenly bought a pair of baby blue cargo pants thinking they were grey, it was only a few months ago that he was formally diagnosed with the disorder.

While Mr. Goulet-Hanssens said his colour blindness doesn't bother him enough to seek treatment just yet, a cure for it would certainly help him in the laboratory.

As student of chemistry, he sometimes struggles to detect whether a compound is an acid or a base when he uses phenolphthalein, an indicator that stays colourless in acidic solutions but turns pink in basic ones. His teaching assistant usually comes to his aid to tell him if it's pink or not.

He said it may also be nice to pick out clothes that don't clash on his own.

“I learned very early on that I needed female friends with me to come shopping,” he said with a laugh. “Even if I thought something was in the ballpark, I would be wrong."

People calm down! In India its common for middle and upper class folks (especially upper class folks) to have "servants" who help around the house.

Which bani have you been reading son? All of Gurbani is filled with Naam

He is being backed by the British Sikh Police Association in the 'landmark' case that could leaed to a £200,000 payout.

Of course the money is going to make everything better :rolleyes:

With that logic, you can get married more than once...Hey I say the more divine_ness the better
