  3. Does anyone know anything about Shin Kin, it's some type of martial art where they balance the mind & body. I heard it was actually started by Sikhs like 15 or 20 years ago, but I'm not sure if it's based on Sikhi or whatever

    Has anyone been to Shin Kin classes before or anyone heard anything about t hem? I think they're prominent in the Uk?

    Thanks

  5. interesting.. this is suggesting that the animals may have had a sense that the tsunami was coming, which explains why they didn't find many animal corpses.. thats interesting, that animals fled to higher ground before it happened.. :T:

    Tsunami Kills Few Animals in Sri Lanka

    By GEMUNU AMARASINGHE

    YALA NATIONAL PARK, Sri Lanka (AP) - Wildlife officials in Sri Lanka expressed surprise Wednesday that they found no evidence of large-scale animal deaths from the tsunamis - indicating that animals may have sensed the wave coming and fled to higher ground.

    An Associated Press photographer who flew over Sri Lanka's Yala National Park in an air force helicopter saw abundant wildlife, including elephants, buffalo, deer, and not a single animal corpse.

    Floodwaters from Sunday's tsunami swept into the park, uprooting trees and toppling cars onto their roofs - one red car even ended up on top of a huge tree - but the animals apparently were not harmed and may have sought out high ground, said Gehan de Silva Wijeyeratne, whose Jetwing Eco Holidays ran a hotel in the park.

    ``This is very interesting. I am finding bodies of humans, but I have yet to see a dead animal,'' said Wijeyeratne, whose hotel in the park was destroyed.

    ``Maybe what we think is true, that animals have a sixth sense,'' Wijeyeratne said.

    Yala, Sri Lanka's largest wildlife reserve, is home to 200 Asian Elephants, crocodile, wild boar, water buffalo and gray langur mo

    nkeys. The park also has Asia's highest concentration of leopards. The Yala reserve covers 391 square miles, but only 56 square miles are open to tourists.

    The human death toll in Sri Lanka surpassed 21,000. Forty foreigners were among 200 people in Yala who were killed.

  6. Scientists: Tsunami Could Hit West Coast

    By JOSEPH B. VERRENGIA Thursday, Dec. 30

    Tsunami scientists and public safety officials are closely watching an earthquake-prone nation with thousands of miles of crowded coastlines for signs of an imminent disaster. Indonesia? Japan? Try the United States.

    Will the U.S. be next? [Netscape.com]

    Experts say the West Coast could experience a calamity similar to the one they have been watching unfold half a world away.

    ``People need to know it could happen,'' said geologist Brian Atwater of the U.S. Geological Survey.

    Scientists say grinding geologic circumstances similar to those in Sumatra also exist just off the Pacific Northwest coast. They are a loaded gun that could trigger a tsunami that could hit Northern California, Washington, Oregon and British Columbia in minutes - too fast for the nation's deep-sea tsunami warning system to help.

    In fact, Atwater said there was a 9.0 earthquake under the Pacific more than 300 years ago that had devastating consequences. He and other scientists last year reported finding evidence of severe flooding in the Puget Sound area in 1700, including trees that stopped growing after ``taking a bath in rising tide waters.''

    The danger rests just 50 miles off the West Coast in a 680-mile undersea fault known as the Cascadia subduction zone that behaves much like one that ruptured off Sumatra. The 1700 quake occurred along the Cascadia fault.

    Scientists say a giant rupture along the fault would cause the sea floor to bounce 20 feet or more, setting off powerful ocean waves relatively close to shore. The first waves could hit coast

    al communities in 30 minutes or less, according to computer models.

    Seattle; Vancouver, British Columbia; and other big cities in the region probably would be relatively protected from deadly flooding because of their inland locations. But other, smaller communities could be devastated.

    And while buildings in the United States are far more solid than the shacks and huts that were obliterated in some of Asia's poor villages, few structures could withstand nearby tremors as powerful as those that occurred Sunday in Sumatra.

    Moreover, such a quake would be way too close to shore for the nation's network of deep-sea wave gauges to be of any help.

    Even in the case of quakes happening farther out in the Pacific or in Alaska, the U.S. warning system might not be adequate.

    The network - which consists of six deep-sea instruments in Alaska, Washington, Oregon and Hawaii and near the equator off the coast of Peru - is thin and scattered, and at least two of the gauges in Alaska are not even reporting daily wave readings. Also, predicting where a tsunami is likely to come ashore cannot be done with the kind of precision seen in hurricane forecasts.

    Eddie N. Bernard, who directs the network for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, said the six sensors are the ``bare minimum'' for adequate warning. He said there are plans to expand the system to 20 sensors in the next five years, including 10 gauges for the seismically active Aleutian Islands.

    Whether the continental United States is vulnerable to tsunamis from Asian earthquakes is another question. Hawaii and parts of Alaska certainly are exposed, but whether earthquake fault lines in Japan and Southeast Asia are oriented in the right directions to send tsunamis all they way to the Lower 48 states is debatable.

    As for the Atlantic Coast, a tsunami is considered extremely unlikely.

    Some computer models suggest East Coast cities are vulnerable to a large tsunami if there were a huge

    volcanic eruption and landslide in the Canary Islands, off northwest Africa. But other researchers say such an event would happen only once in 10,000 years, and such a disruption is unlikely to occur all at once.

  7. wow.. Waheguru.. Yes, i'm sure there were at least some Sikhs that also died in this whole event. They're saying it's obvious that the death toll will reach 100,000, and there are chances it could even get double that. They're saying the info we're finding out so far is just the start, and that there are so many more places where bodies are popping up. Thousands are still missing. It's been said that 1/3 of the dead are children.

    Satguru Jeeo help us accept your Bhana and recognize your khel as being beyond our hands... Satguru Jee, please help us realize that whatever you do will one day have a better ending, please help us trust You so that we can accept whatever You choose to do with us and this world.

    Waheguru Waheguru Waheguru

    Also wanted to say (in response to someone's post above), I think the best option is to send money, because if you send products like clothes, foods, etc., it's a lot more difficult to transport it to the affected ares on time. Emergency officials are saying that if you just donate money (TO A REPUTABLE ORGANIZATION THAT WILL GET THE MONEY WHERE IT IS NEEDED!!!), then they can buy supplies like food, clothing, blankets, etc. at cheap bulk rates and stuff, and they can get it there faster probably... Therefore, the best option is to collect or send money IMMEDIATELY to relief groups who you know will take the money there...

  8. It's like the death toll has doubled almost, oh my gosh.. Waheguru Ji SAADH SANGAT JEE PLEASE DONATE MONEY TO THE RED CROSS TO HELP THESE PEOPLE AND THEIR FAMILIES... PLEASE SANGAT JEE GET YOUR PARENTS, FAMILY, FRIENDS, EVERYONE TO DONATE SOMETHING OR DO ARDAASAA TO HELP THIS WORLD..

    Please Saadh Sangat Ji... I'm begging you... PLEASE lets donate money and do SOMETHING about this pray.gifpray.gifpray.gifpray.gifpray.gifpray.gifpray.gifpray.gif

    --endemo--> pray.gif :wub:

  9. Donations to the red cross need to be made -- try getting your parents or rich relatives to help out the victims. This is a really HUGE disaster. Each and every one of us AS SIKHS should see it as our duty to help these victims in one way or another!! It's simple - either donate money (think about it.. the death toll is rising, tens of thousands of people :| and millions have lost their homes and stuff.. they need food, shelter, clothing, clean water.. Although it's all in Hukam, we should definitely try to help)... If there's no way we can donate money, we should at least do ardaas and pray for the victims & their families.

    At least sixteen earthquakes, many of them massive, hit India, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Thailand and neighboring countries.  The quakes measured as high as magnitude 9 and triggered gigantic tidal waves which swept thousands to their deaths across the region.

    Sadh Sangat ji... Please make an effort to help in any way possible, even if you just donate $25 - it's better than nothing and it could come of use.. Lets all make an effort to do something --- just like Bhai Khanaiya Ji

    pray.gif^_^

    P.S. THE RED CROSS IS A REALLY SAFE PLACE TO DONATE TO, they're not political or backed up by a certain religion that will only provide relief in one place.. They'll try to do whatever they can and theyre a good organization. We can donate through them its simple
