  1. Oye hoye, don't ever look at arnold and think that is how you will look in a few years if you start working out. Two reasons:

    1. He used steriods, no one should use steriods!

    2. He was an extremely genetically gifted person, only 0.001% of the world's population falls in this category, extremely likely that you (as in you who is reading this) is no where near this.

    Injuries da push naa yaar, i'm just broken lol

  2. Don't spend money on buying expensive machines, which are mostly useless to build strength. All you need is a couple of squat racks, a few standard olympic bars (45 lbs each), some weight plates of different weights and a few benches (for bench press) and lots of open room :D

    EDIT: good point raised by jassa as well, you can't just open a gym, you need to have qualified people there who love the sport and teach the young ones how to lift properly. Otherwise all they will do is injure themselves, like me :rolleyes:

  3. Jap Jee Sahib is the mool/root/base of Sikhi :) If you do 1 paath of Japji sahib with meanings, it will take you close to 1 hour. But that 1 hour is easily comparable to (likely exceeds) many hours of just reading bani without meanings.

    Meanings is where we get everything, otherwise we are just doing it like a robot...hmm I should really follow my own advice :rolleyes:

  4. General comment:

    I can't believe how insecure some people are. If you are offended by this statement, then you must be insecure.

    How many times are you going to put down Sikhs just because they don't live up to your standards?

    If anything, we should be congratulating those who take part in this, but no, instead we want to say, "How dare they call themselves a Singh?"!

    What have you done? Take your shirt off and show us what you're made of, otherwise, shut your stinking mouth!

    :lol: LOLLLLLLLLL

  5. ^ I agree with you in the sense that our parents simply don't let us make mistakes! I have brought this up with my parents as well, much to their disliking as it means they were not perfect parents :rolleyes: A lot of the decisions are forced upon us by our parents and since most of us are raised with the "parents are always right" attitude, it takes a lot to break the habit.

    Personally, I have no trouble doing what I want, but it seems a lot of the time I try to do that, parents throw a big fit and get offended/hurt. Perhaps it's kind of an emotional black mail (yes this has happened numerous times when I have mentioned that I don't care about caste when it comes time to finding a life partner) I really hope I don't do such things to my kids (If I have them)

  6. Why does society conform to certain attire when identifying people...In the poster and see a young man, with beard and turban, dressed liked royalty. I guess people were expecting someone wearing a chola and a dumalla, please expand your horizons.

  7. Nehru was a cunning, deceptive politician; after India's independence when talks came to making of a sovereign Sikh nation, what chance did the Sikh leaders of the time, the likes of Master Tara Singh who never went to college had against someone who studied law abroad.

  8. There is debate on what date Shri Guru Hargobind Sahib Jee returned home, some say it was quite a bit after the traditional Diwali date (when Sri Raam Chandr Jee are believed to have returned home from 14 years of exile. In any case, it's just a diva, I fail to see what the big deal is.

    To throw out something just because it seems to be similar to our Hindu brothers seems very childish to me.

    LHC gets colder than deep space

    By Paul Rincon

    Science reporter, BBC News 999999.gif

    The giant Atlas detector will search for hints of the elusive Higgs boson particle

    The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiment has once again become one of the coldest places in the Universe.

    All eight sectors of the LHC have now been cooled to their operating temperature of 1.9 kelvin (-271C; -456F) - colder than deep space.

    The large magnets that bend particle beams around the LHC are kept at this frigid temperature using liquid helium.

    The magnets are arranged end-to-end in a 27km-long circular tunnel straddling the Franco-Swiss border.

    The cool-down is an important milestone ahead of the collider's scheduled re-start in the latter half of November.

    The LHC has been shut down since 19 September 2008, when a magnet problem called a "quench" caused a tonne of liquid helium to leak into the LHC tunnel.

    After the accident, the particle accelerator had to be warmed up so that repairs could take place.

    The most powerful physics experiment ever built, the Large Hadron Collider will recreate the conditions just after the Big Bang. It is operated by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (Cern), based in Geneva.

    Two beams of protons will be fired down pipes running through the magnets. These beams will travel in opposite directions around the main "ring" at close to the speed of light.

    At allotted points around the tunnel, the proton beams cross paths, smashing into one another with cataclysmic energy. Scientists hope to see new particles in the debris of these collisions, revealing fundamental new insights into the nature of the cosmos.

    Awesome energy

    The operating temperature of the LHC is just a shade above "absolute zero" (-273.15C) - the coldest temperature possible. By comparison, the temperature in remote regions of outer space is about 2.7 kelvin (-270C; -454F).

    The LHC's magnets are designed to be "superconducting", which means they channel electric current with zero resistance and very little power loss. But to become superconducting, the magnets must be cooled to very low temperatures.

    For this reason, the LHC is innervated by a complex system of cryogenic lines using liquid helium as the refrigerant of choice.

    No particle physics facility on this scale has ever operated in such frigid conditions.

    But before a beam can be circulated around the 27km-long LHC ring, engineers will have to thoroughly test the machine's new quench protection system and continue with magnet powering tests.

    Particle beams have already been brought "to the door" of the Large Hadron Collider. A low-intensity beam could be injected into the LHC in as little as a week.

    This beam test would involve only parts of the collider, rather than the whole "ring".

    The LHC's tunnel runs for 27km under the Franco-Swiss border

    Officials now plan to circulate a beam around the LHC in the second half of November. Engineers will then aim to smash low-intensity beams together, giving scientists their first data.

    The beams' energy will then be increased so that the first high-energy collisions can take place. These will mark the real beginning of the LHC's research programme.

    Collisions at high energy have been scheduled to occur in December, but now look more likely to happen in January, according to Cern's director of communications James Gillies.

    Feeling the squeeze

    Mr Gillies said this would involve delicate operation of the accelerator.

    "Whilst you're accelerating [the beams], you don't have to worry too much about how wide the beams are. But when you want to collide them, you want the protons as closely squeezed together as possible.

    He added: "If you get it wrong you can lose beam particles - so it can take a while to perfect. Then you line up the beams to collide.

    "In terms of the distances between the last control elements of the LHC and the collision point, it's a bit like firing knitting needles from across the Atlantic and getting them to collide half way."

    Officials plan a brief hiatus over the Christmas and New Year break, when the lab will have to shut down.

    Although managers had discussed working through this period, Mr Gillies said this would have been "too logistically complicated".

    The main determinant in the decision to close over winter were workers' contracts, which would have needed to be re-negotiated, he said.

    An upgraded early warning system, or quench protection system, should prevent incidents of the kind which shut the collider last year, officials say.

    This has involved installing hundreds of new detectors around the machine.

    Cern has spent about 40m Swiss Francs (£24m) on repairs following the accident, including upgrades to the quench protection system.

  10. I have no qualifications and am finiding really difficult getting a job which often leads me to a drink or two.
    Two things:

    1) Improve your qualifications, enroll in a course or self-study; that will multiply your chances of landing a job

    2) Drinking is not going to magically add to your qualifications. If anything, it'll do the opposite, every time you drink you are killing your very precious brain cells.

    simply, all I am asking is How can get my self out of this rut. How can i stop feeling insecure and be more confident?
    We all go through ruts, I am going through a Sikhi rut myself these days, it's called Life. It's full of ups and downs, thats what makes it intriguing.
    How do I know god can help me?
    Thing of it this way, you are breathing, do you make any effort to breathe? Did someone teach you how to breathe? The answer is no to both questions, Waheguru is breathing for you.

    Change your sangat, stay around positive people and when you see something you don't like say 'hum nahi changey bura nahi koe'

  11. Exercising will help build the joints, take up some weight training. Also, contrary to what the popular opinion is out there these days, running is not bad for your knees. Just don't run on pavement and don't over do it.

  12. ^ There is no "your" money and "their" money, it's family's money and should be spent accordingly where required. If you wish to get into this your money, my money business then try to calculate the amount your parents have spent on you since you were born...I bet you won't be able to pay just that off for a majority of your life. This is not taking into account all the time/effort/patience they have taken to make you what you are today. How can any child put a price on that?!!!

  13. THis is so true, but i guess everyone is too high class to cook the food themselves and serve the langar. I guess it shows you don't have the millions.

    The ones that hire caters are just assh*les. Your down right, one of the most lowly people. You are making a mockery of Guru Ka Langar.

    Also the Gurdwara committees are to blame, but the f*cking faggots that higher the catering company need the sharia law to punish them. Make them beat the fat off these lazy bastards. At least the sharia would be put to some good usage.

    How F*cking stupid can you be. Like honestly, how much more can you insult Guru Sahib.

    There is no excuse for this <banned word filter activated>

    And you blind i d i o t s wanna respond I got the middle finger for you.

    Wow he blew up :excl:

  14. Waheguru ji ka khalsa

    Waheguru ji ki fateh

    Singh USA,

    The real problem is, you don't seem to be a confident and independant person even after being in States.

    Therefore you are unable to practice your beliefs. Under these circumstances, what you did was best i.e obey your parents.

    Frankly, unless a person is Mature and creates his/her own Individuality, they will always be judged only on the basis of parents or ancestory as they are technically Dependants not Adults.

    Waheguru ji ka khalsa

    Waheguru ji ki fateh

    Seems to me a lot of members on this forum live a in a hypothetical idealistic world, which is far from the reality that we exist in today.
