  1. http://www.chemistdirect.co.uk/schwarzkopf-got2b-glued-water-resistant-spiking-glue-150ml_1_153580.html The above is a good gel, though i find that none of the gells work well so fixo is the best bet but it needs to be used properly (not too much).
  2. Saw the clips on SikhChannel and quite liked them. Though the animation with two 3d kids flying was a bit amateurish, it is still a good start. I hope soon we will have some sort of animated series for kids, where the characters go on adventures and the teach the viewers about Sikhi and its principles. Same thing happened to me yesterday, at the gym I met a local Sikh who told me that someone was selling a laptop. I asked him about the laptop and mentioned that Gurdwara laptop is too old and STTM software is quite slow so we could do with a faster laptop. His instant reply was "What the point, it will spend more time at the sewadar's house rather than at the gurdwara". So the point is, our community loves to criticise. whenever something new starts, we have 60% of the people hoping that it would fail. Going back to the kids stuff and possible incorrect pronunciation of Gurbani, before we can speak on the behalf of our guru just remember that our history shows that sajjan thug, bhoomia chor etc were forgiven. So who are we to say that if kids or adults mispronounce Gurbani unintentionally then they will not be? The above tuk still doesnt prohibit dancing. It just discredits dancing carried out by people who shake their hair up and down etc and do ritual dancing thinking it will get them close to god.
  3. coming from a family of granthis i got to agree with both posts above me lol. As they say "Dive thalle hanera (darkness under the lamp)" does apply to a lot of granthis. Where i am from, the average wage of granthi is £50 with kirtan bhet amounting to around £15/week. So Granthis can expect around £65-£70 /week. This is only for one days seva roughly about 6 hours of work so i dont think its that bad. Then there are granthis i know who are from india and earn up to £200/week. On gurpurabs this can increase to £300/week. So not all granthis do badly. What i find disheartning is that member of sangat and commettee members will always have an eye on the granthi's money. You get these uncles who mention things like "we are on pension and we dont make this much and giyani is from india and he makes more than us". Finally let me tell you that its not about the money, it is about Visa stamps and maybe permanent residency. Granthis will take all the crap, take low wage until they get citizenship. After that they will still be ok with the low gurdwara salary because they can then have a proper second job. Personally i think if we can help our people settle here and increase our numbers then we will face lots of problems.
  4. Joomla is good, easy to install and has tons of extensions. Most likely you will be able to find an extension for your exact needs.
  5. Happy Birthday, dont know if its still 10th May in Amrika or not. Chalo, hope you had/have a good one.
  6. This topic is about eyebrows, please do not debate bibiya in panj pyare as that has been discussed many time. Stick to the topic please.
  7. I ddint know an app had to be downloaded. Let me remind everyone that any browser enabled phone can jsut browse to sikhsangat forum using the web browser and use the full features for free.
  8. You cant transfer from vhs to digital just by using software. You need a tv tuner card at the very least. someone here might have done it before so hopefully they will post. But as far as i know, you need a tv tuner card in the pc and then you can record from it. The output of your vcr video goes into the input of the tv tuner card and then using the software provided you can save the video as avi or similar.
  9. ah to be young and with a huge jura. Some of us wish we had a jura instead of a joori.
  10. I know someone like you. I tell him all the time, turn this whole thing upside down. You say you don't have a job. Then apply for anything and everything. Once you get any job then you will not feel so helpless. As they say, beggars cant be choosers so don't have any expectations from the job,just get a job. This is what i tell my friend. It is difficult to give you advice without knowing whether you have any qualifications. If you dont then get some. 25 isn't that old. Do a course in college and get a job in some office as an admin etc.
  11. Yes, with a credit card you borrow money from the card issuer and pay on a set date. with the debit card your money gets taken out of your bank straight away. If you are buying stuff online then use a credit card as you can then dispute transactions if you are not satisfied with the quality of the goods. With debit card, money has already gone outof your bank account and thenyou have to get it back. Where as credit card you can cancel the payment. Also with credit cards, you are covered from fraud etc (goods not recieved). Finally, credit cards are probably going to work world wide where as your debit card will probably only work inyour country. I ensure that with my credit card, there is a direct debit setup totakethe money out automatically. This way you avoid paying charges etc.
  12. hmm have not looked at the api that your phishing database provider provides but as far as the example you provided for ajax is concerned i would advice using jquery's get method.It should make things a lot easier while most likely doing an XMLHttpRequest inthe background. You are no longer restricted to returning xml document to your js function and then having to parse the xml. You can return json and use them in js code in a more structured way. http://www.json.org/ ----- Having re-read your post, looks like you are going to host the phishing database and just want to query it using ajax? Then i will again suggest jquery or you may use something like jrock. Just return a json object returning your boolean result and you can use that in js. if(result.UrlOK) { // url is ok. }
  13. There is no such thing as a government handout unless you have not worked at all. We pay taxes, taxes run government, government has the right to provide services to communities and census is a way of getting an understanding of the communities.
  14. So i was reading this shabad on SikhiToTheMax and was wondering about the last tuk. This Shabad is by Guru Amar Daas Ji in Raag Bhairao on Pannaa 1127 rwgu BYrau mhlw 3 caupdy Gru 1 raag bhairo mehalaa 3 choupadhae ghar 1 Raag Bhairao, Third Mehla, ChauPaday, First House: <> siqgur pRswid ] ik oa(n)kaar sathigur prasaadh || One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru: jwiq kw grbu n krIAhu koeI ] jaath kaa garab n kareeahu koee || No one should be proud of his social class and status. bRhmu ibMdy so bRwhmxu hoeI ]1] breham bi(n)dhae so braahaman hoee ||1|| He alone is a Brahmin, who knows God. ||1|| jwiq kw grbu n kir mUrK gvwrw ] jaath kaa garab n kar moorakh gavaaraa || Do not be proud of your social class and status, you ignorant fool! iesu grb qy clih bhuqu ivkwrw ]1] rhwau ] eis garab thae chalehi bahuth vikaaraa ||1|| rehaao || So much sin and corruption comes from this pride. ||1||Pause|| cwry vrn AwKY sBu koeI ] chaarae varan aakhai sabh koee || Everyone says that there are four castes, four social classes. bRhmu ibMd qy sB Epiq hoeI ]2] breham bi(n)dh thae sabh oupath hoee ||2|| They all emanate from the drop of God's Seed. ||2|| mwtI eyk sgl sMswrw ] maattee eaek sagal sa(n)saaraa || The entire universe is made of the same clay. bhu ibiD BWfy GVY kum@wrw ]3] bahu bidhh bhaa(n)ddae gharrai kumhaaraa ||3|| The Potter has shaped it into all sorts of vessels. ||3|| pMc qqu imil dyhI kw Awkwrw ] pa(n)ch thath mil dhaehee kaa aakaaraa || The five elements join together, to make up the form of the human body.

Being a sikh, i know who my true guru is but how do you explain to a non-sikh, who is a true guru. What are the characteristics or a true guru. Gurbani metions true guru a lot so can someone point out any gurbani tuks which tell us who is a true guru?
  15. duplicate, please leave your opinions in the topic below and find links to the bbc site to post your opinions there:
  16. Just replied. http://www.guardian....42-0152ddb5a291 Everyone should register and reply to such articles. Its best to make one non-sikh think differently than to do nothing and let all ofthem blindly believe these poeple.
  17. singhhawk, i think you missed the point of Mathleen's post. No one is saying one is better than the other spiritually though one is better than the other cos someone who doesnt compromise is better. I myself tie my darhi but would love to leave it khuli but thats a personal thing. I dont look for validation from others. What you are suggesting is to change yourself to fit in. If tomrrow, tied darhis are not allowed then does it mean we should be getting rid of them? How far do you compromise your beliefs? Some is going to confuse a sikh with taliban regardless of how they apear. Just having brown skin would be enough for them.
  18. You should upload vids on sikhclips.com as well. You tube might remove such videos but atleast they will be on sikh sites.
  19. Guys Stop Quoting posts in full. When you quote a post please delete most of its content in the middle. Most of this topic is just repeated posts in quotes.
  20. It depends on the number of your posts. We have set different tuks for different levels. Its not part of your picture, its just text underneath it.
  21. Imagine this was a great topic, now stop imagining because it is.
  22. I agree, these so called singers have sold their soul. One minute she sings praises of sikhi and other minute she says "kandiya to nahi khatra, hun darr lagda phula to" i support their right to believe in what they want and if they want to have a separate panth then they can. At the same time we as sikhs have to think why things have come this far? Surly the ravidassiya sikhs have always been separate as they were never accepted by other sikhs so this is just making it official now. We need to stop alienating others and remember that there is strength in numbers. If we dont go out seeking converts then at the very least we should try to keep who we have rather than turning them away.
