to bhenji above, the same ustaad jee also teaches on mon&tues from 5-7pm at willenhall gurdwara - jst thought id let you know seeing as it's local to w-ton.

ya i was thinking the same thing :gg:

First of all what country are you in? Secondly, from first hand experience I know how disheartening it can be when you discover a sibling may have problems in learning. Has she been statemented or has she been diagnosed? My younger brother also has problems namely dyspraxia, moderate learning difficulties and sensory motor co-ordination problems. He was also very reserved, had no confidence, didn’t make friends quickly and in terms of mile stones he was behind his age group when in nursery and still is. His teachers recommended we place him in a different school where they have a wider resource base in regards to helping children with such problems. Looking back, I think if he stayed on in nursery an extra year it might have been better for him, but on the other hand, his problems are on-going so there is no quick fix solution to them. If you feel that school is best for your sister then you can refute the opinion of your doctor. Schools are clued up on this sort of stuff and can give children loads of support. If need be she can have extra help outside the mainstream classroom for a couple of hours a day and also go for occupational therapy if it is needed. If the school is not supportive then perhaps you can get in touch with a social worker or someone from the local education authority at the council (depending on the laws of your country) and seek advice. Alternatively, you can look at other schools where they support pupils with learning problems. If any of the above has caused you offence, I apologise, I know this is a sensitive issue. Also I want you to know that you are not alone, and your encouragement, love & Ardaas will all help her immensely. All the best.

me to! for the time being i have managed to convince my other half to get me one of these absolutely gorgeous! (staff.bull terrier)

ya, my mom's making me drink it since my car accident last week to help the healing process, it's meant to be good for you lol but mmmmmm if the taste is anything to go by... :umm: lol not so good! it's breakfast time over here, and that means a yummy glass of milk and haldee for me! :o who thought of coke and milk?? :gg:

who thought of milk & haldee (turmeric powder) mixed together? <_< :6 :gg: ewww ewww ewwwwwwwwww :rolleyes:

yaaaaaay Jagmeeeeeeeeeeetyyyyyyyyyy awwwwww this Singh is fab, thanks for everythingggggggg including when YOU got us lost on our way to Gurdwara to talk to some school kids and then YOU decided it would be a good idea to ask an old Muslim man directions to a Gurdwara especially when YOU couldn't understand what he was saying!! ooo and then YOU realised we were soooooooo late and there was like 100 odd kids waiting for us....only to get there and realise that YOU actually had the time wrong and there was no one there!!! the good old days!! and thank youuuuuu for sharing your lovely art work and brill talent with us!! God bless ya!!

oo wish i was going! i went last year though, was meant to go for just over 2 months but had to cut it about 3weeks short 'cus i got sick - - so be wary of that! if you're anything like me you won't mind the heat much, i'm a summer person, loved the weather but ya still use your sun protection stuff, also be wary of mosquitos!! my aunt suggested i sleep out on the balcony the 1st night, but that was enough 4 me lol i was covered in bites what do you wish to take from this trip? that way we could help you more also you should message sunny_love_kirtan, i am sure he will be more than happy to help as he lives in Amritsar.

that's why God decided to wake the rest of us lazy bums up for AmritVela!

vaheguru! congrats mr & mrs amarooni!!! awww i can just imagine Amar reading all these posts. Blushing away!! (What happened to that red smiley icon with the hearts? emi!! it's well needed at a time like this!!) & don't be forgetting my present now, also post me a set of dvds! Love and best wishes to you both!! xx ^^ yes filled with lots of kids so KKL Buha and Anjaan Buha can steal 'em!!

Chocolate brownies… • 60 g all-purpose flour (plain) • 355 ml water • 170 g butter • 85 g unsweetened cocoa powder • 600 g caster sugar • 8 ml vanilla extract • 375 g all-purpose flour (plain) • 15 g baking powder • 5 g salt • 100 g chopped walnuts or choc chips ( I usually use the white ones – makes a nice contrast with the darkness of the brownies) or sultanas etc this ingredient is optional and you can mix and match as well first off pre heat your oven to 175 degrees C and grease a 9x13 inch baking tray, make sure it’s a deep baking pan because the brownies will rise place the 60g of flour in a saucepan, add the 355mls of water and stir on a medium heat. Keep mixing until it has formed a smooth thick paste…remove from heat and place to the side to cool down and pour into a big mixing bowl in another saucepan melt the 170g of butter remove from heat and add the 85g of cocoa, mix it until it’s all smooth then add the sugar and vanilla essence into the cooled mixture of flour and water that you prepared 1st then add the cocoa and butter mixture then add the 375g of flour, baking powder and salt mix all the ingredients together well, and add any optional ingredients such as choc chips pour mixture into baking tray, spread evenly, note mixture is quite thick but it’s all good, should not be runny place in oven and should be ready in about 20-25 mins (do the tooth pick test – i.e. insert tooth pick into middle if it comes out clean then brownies are made) remove from oven and allow to cool when cooled you can pour melted chocolate on top and spread or use a chocolate icing - again optional cut the brownies into squares and enjoy!! *it is ideal to sift all the flour, cocoa powder sugar etc as to avoid lumps! ** also it is ideal to convert the 5g of salt and 15g of baking powder to teaspoons as it’s easier to measure out ***note brownies can be kept in fridge for about a week or so ****also if you think they’re a bit “chewy” it’s normal, brownies are not like traditional softer sponge cakes I baked these the other week for AkaalSeva-EL when he blessed me at home with his darshan , so you can ask him if they were any good! :D Peach Cobbler Another easy pudding thing to make is peach cobbler, if you’re not a fan of peaches you can substitute them for another fruit! You can use fresh or tinned fruit… Ingredients • 1 stick (4 ounces) butter, melted • 1 cup plus 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided • 1 cup all-purpose flour (plain) • 2 teaspoons baking powder • 1/4 teaspoon salt • 1 cup milk • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract • 3 to 4 ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, thinly sliced • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon Heat oven to 375°. Melt the butter Pour melted butter into 11x7 or 8-inch square baking dish - deep clay one is the best In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of the sugar, 1 cup flour, baking powder, and salt; mix to blend. Stir in 1cup milk and vanilla until blended. Pour the batter over the melted butter. Toss the peaches with the remaining 3 tablespoons of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Arrange the peach slices over the batter. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or do toothpick test When checking in on your cobbler it might look like nothing is going to come of it but don’t worry, just put it back in the oven a bit longer. The top should be browned and the cake will begin to pull away from the sides of the pan. Serve warm with a little whipped topping, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Apologies if this has been discussed before, but I could not see a previous topic Was just wondering if anyone else had seen the 2 part documentary on BBC1 yesterday evening and Wednesday evening, If so what did you make of it? For those of you who missed it you can see the 1st part here 1st part and the 2nd part here 2nd part Vaheguru, it's proper messed up, in the 1st one the father killed his 3 young children with a rounders bat and in the 2nd one the father set fire 2 his house killing his wife and 4 daughters (4 or 3) but he later also died from his injuries. Also in the 2nd one a littly 6yr old girl died because someone petrol bombed their house, her brother seemed like a right doofus!! :s watch it and you will understand! But whatever he did it's no excuse for people to behave like maniacs!! :D Thins kind of stuff makes me sick :D also this guy was talking to me at work he is of afro/carribbean (sp?) descent and he was like this kind of thing makes us all wary of asians in general and we end up creating stero types and tarnishing everyone with the same brush
