Firstly for those of you who missed the hack or at the most miss the song that accompanied the defaced page, I included a copy here. There have been quite a few rumours as to why the site got hacked and groups possibly responsible for hiring out a hit on the site.
This site nor the other sites, sikhsangatgenocide.com, sikhstudents.ca, etc. were part of any vicious agenda to cleanse the Internet of Kafir sites. More or less were victims to a middle-eastern kids boredom, and attempt to teach the world about peaceful Islam, after having been frustrated by the West’s media coverage of all Muslims being Al-Quida supporters.
How the hack occurred, is pretty simple and nothing all that complicated. Basically a script on a site that shares the server had a huge security hole on it. Using google the hacker found the server hosting that script out and then using PHP uploaded a malicious program written in C. He then ran the C program using a bash script which wiped out all the PHP files on the server.
Leaving in tact all files, images, movies, audio, and databases etc, so end of the day not much was lost other then a few little things here and there, which given time I’ll get back up.
Just to note, this site was part of 600 other sites that the hacker had brought down, and to be honest thats pretty impressive. For those wanting to learn more about hacking type Internet security on the Internet and look for security based forums. There you’ll find more then enough information on hacking servers, as for me, I’m going to stick with selling mortgages. Soo hollaa atcha boy..

If you’re reading this that means you bookmarked or got this blog on a RSS feed. Yes the blogs back (by not so popular demand), and yes it got hacked, but
“the cat came back the very next day, the cat came back, they thought he was a gonner, but the cat came back the very next day, it just couldn’t stay away..”
Anyways, yes there some things missing and some differences, so I’ll be restoring those things in the next few days. Anyways thats enough for now.

THIS YEAR ONLY…in celebration of 400 years of Sri Akal Takhat Sahib, all patit’s who have been kicked out of the panth, can re-join now, with NO, thats right NO! down-payment, no commitment, NO Tankhaah nothing. Come and be forgiven.
Thats right folks this week only, re-join the Panth with NOO Tankah!!.
Honestly, this has got to be the single most stupid thing that Vedanti has ever done. He’s becoming as embarrassing as George W with this one. Lets look at this for what it really is, a political charade cloacked in the guise of a celebration. After the recent ex-communication of Mann, a few weeks back, only to reverse his decision a minute later, after feeling the grumbling roar of the Sikh Panth, the Jatehdar goes to save face for all the other bad decisions by holding a free for all peshi. Basically admitting to having made un-precedented decisionsin the past, (those every other week ex-communications) and therefore decides to quietly cover it up, by letting those same people re-join the Panth with no consequence. At the same time, to help keep things quiet and covered up, rather then offering this immunity to only those who got excommunicated under the Vedanti tenure, why not open things up to anyone who’s been excommunicated in the last 400 years. End of the day, don’t believe the hype, and don’t let the man fool you. All this really is, is an admit-ion of guilt on having acted/reacted in the wrong way. Come on Vedanti, please just grow some balls and ex-communicate the one person the Sikh Panth is really sick of, Badal, be like Nike and Just Do It.
For those scratching their heads as to what all the above was about the article is attached below:

Ever since his designation as India’s PM, I’ve always been sceptical of Manmohan Singhs abilities to really serve the Sikh community. While many jumped and continue to jump with joy thinking that in some perverted way we have once again achieved Khalsa Raaj I can only continue to shake my head at the blind ignorance shown by our people.
I was going around the net and came across something written by, Omali Yeshitela who is a prominent figure and passionate speaker in the continuing civil rights movement in the US, which I feel really sums up whats happening today to Sikhs in India, and even across the world. The speech is from one of his works titled, Resistance of African People, Crisis of Imperialism: Why We must Build the National People’s Democratic Uhuru Movement.
I included the live audio portion which was copped from the Dead Prez intro, and a copy of the written speech that I copped from this other mans blog.
I’m told the Native People in the Arctic, in order to kill wolves take a sharp knife, melt the ice, and bury the handle in the ice and let it freeze over with the blade projecting up. They would cover the blade with blood. Wolves would smell the blade and come to try to eat. They would lick the blade. When they licked the blade they would cut their tongues and they would drink their own blood. They really were thinking that they had a lot to eat then, and of course they were drinking their own blood and killing themselves in the process.
One thing though that I do question though is how much of it is the oppressed (the wolves fault). Where Yeshitela blames the oppressor for everything, which is understandable, but there comes a time when the wolf needs to take responsibility. The first time sure, we were. (it [the wolf] was), ignorant about what was happening, but after everything that’s happened and to still remain ignorant crosses over into the realm of stupidity. We need to take more responsibility for our actions but convincing others about being this ignorant has proved to be no easy task. After all how do you convince the other wolves who continue to lick the blade, that its no good, considering they can bare witness to the hundreds of dead wolves around them. This problem stems into so many different branch’s in Sikhi, there are so many different blades that we continue to cut ourselves with, yet even after realization of this self mutilation we continue on, and keep repeating the same mistakes of yesterday, and then wonder why things got this way.
It all comes back to learning from our history, which no one seems ready to do. Thus repeating the same mistakes that we vowed to never let happen again happen right under our watch. So much for least we forget. I can understand the whole moving forward concept, but how can one move forward until the pains of yesterday have yet to be acknowledged. Basically,
Sins must be forgiven before they are truly let go, penance must be made and forgiveness must be asked for. The past, for better or worse is a shadow that gets longer as the day goes on. It follows our every footstep and though we may forget that we have a shadow it nonetheless is behind us every step we take. No matter how far we run or how far we go, there will always be a shadow looming and following, always one step behind so that if we happen to look back we will be forced to remember or we can choose to forget.

“If it Involves winning or loosing, then its more then just a game.”
- malton proverb
Last Friday, a group of us went paint balling, and we lost. There I admit it, and now that I got that of my chest writing the rest of this should be much easier.
Now I wont make excuses as to why we lost nor will I try to take the easy way out and say that when ever Singhs get together regardless of jatha affiliation etc, we all win. End of the day we lost, and it sucks.
I’m not going to sit here and try to make excuses as to why we lost. After all saying things like,
All put together don’t justify the 1-4-1 record we finished with. (1 win, 4 losses and 1 tie). End of the day we didn’t loose because of things that we can make excuses for, we lost because we made mistakes and therefore by any standards we got blown out, put down, buried, humiliated and shamed.
Now if things were closer making excuses may help make a difference in at least justifying a game here or there, but that wasn’t the case. Our team went into this game cocky as ever, after all we brought out more guys, and what we felt was a much stronger team then the last time the 2 sides had faced off, when we won that one. However, fate chose not to repeat it self and we were handed our asses to us on a platter.
Now like all teams do after being humiliated the way we were, the only appropriate course of action is to look at what went wrong, so to not let the same mistakes repeat themselves the next time out.
Bad Trades
It wasn’t as much as bad trades as much as it was letting the wrong people go. We showed up with us having 22 people and the other side only brought out 11 of there own, so naturally we had to let 5 people go, evening the teams up to 16-17 players a piece. Now off course having that extra gun on the field would and should in almost all cases by considered a positive asset but for one reason or another it just wasn’t. Of the people sent over I think the biggest mistake was sending over Balzy of the Ottawa Family. Considering he single handedly won a fair number of games for them, giving him up without a second thought really came back to bite us in the ass. Shamsher was another person who may have arguably tipped the scales against us, but then again all this is pretty subjective, and only reason his names even being mentioned was because of his constant bickering to be called out. Now something I’ve been trying to come to grips with is, did they really out play us and therefore get all the shine and glory, or was it just our lack lustre performance which helped make them look good? End of the day its in the past.
Weak Players
Now I wont chew our guys out, we did enough of that on Friday. End of the day for some reason or another our guys were just too afraid to get hit. Even those who shined previous years and who make you believe that they got Superman’s genes running in there veins, dared not leave the protected confines of the bunkers at the start of some levels. Leaving for weak front lines with no backup support.
Lethargic Players
This best describes my level of play. I didn’t run, dive, get my face in the mud type thing, heck in most cases I got tired from kneeling down that I found myself doing Kamikaze missions that never seemed to work out this time around either. After the first few games it got to the point where I didn’t even bother trying to take cover. More then anything this was in direct result of me being outta shape, but sitting around at work behind a desk all day and then coming home eating and going to sleep does that to you.
Lack of Leadership 
Clearly there was a problem on our team when it came to getting and taking orders. Not to say we didn’t have those who tried to lead the team, but a leader is more then someone who can devise a plan, a leader needs to be someone who the rest can rally behind and support, which clearly the leader(s) of our team didn’t have. It was for that reason I often found myself taking a few guys to the side with me where we often devised our own mini plans rather then follow the game plan that a few agreed upon, simply because there was no faith in our leader’s abilities. Now its not like I didn’t try giving our team a chance. But when the plans you get the first two times don’t really work, you tend to loose faith in the play maker.
Lack of Execution
Now not all plans we made were horrible in my eyes. Some actually made sense. However of these plans again we had the whole weak players problem. For some reason or another some players felt that by staying alive the longest by taking cover in a bunker, while everyone else was systematically slaughtered offered them some sort of bragging rights, for being the last one standing from our side.
Now with that said its only fair to give shout outs to the other team for there performance.
Sunny and the rest of the Ottawa family.
Yes you cleaned up shop and made quick work of many on our side with your heroics, you made all the difference in those 4 games and I think clearly it was a mistake to have given you up so easily.
The Ghosts.
I’m talking about none other then Gopi and Tinda. Not only were these guys invisible on the field, but I can’t remember one time when they were eliminated. Even after seeing these guys having some of the most paint stained outfits, I’m sure that it was nothing, and that it was all just splatter from the tree’s that they spent most of the games hiding behind.
The guys who got shot and left the field then sneaked right back on.
Ya ll know who you are, end of the day its not a crime as long as your not convicted, and if you can sleep at night with a clear conscious, then hey, more power to you. Congratulations on being a key part to your team winning this one.
Lastly a shout out to Mandeep. Vote Mandeep Dhaliwal.
Clearly by putting your constituents and business first, your heart is in the right place and you truly mean business. If only your constituents knew about the sacrifices you make for them on a daily basis, attending those meetings over paint ball, even when it means watching your boys get systematically slaughtered. Actually now that I think of it, do I smell conspiracy theory, considering that nearly everyone on the other team is a constituent in your ward??
On another note, going 3-0 in the singles showdowns, is always ill. But then again, “If anyones down to hit up dragon fly let me know, I’m down for whatever.
End of the day “No intensity, no victory.’. (Any Given Sunday)
Anyways thats all I had to say on this one. I added some pics below, but for the rest of the pics from the day check out the Google Gallery (thats right, why use Flickr when you can go with Google) .
Maybe it was this weak pose that set us up for defeat…
You can just feel the love…
Me… hit?? What you talking about..thats just splatter…

This blog for better or worse is an extension of my procrastination and boredom. It's not intended to convince, impress or convert you to be anything more then what you already are, but if it does then more power to it. Do be warned that the time you waste on this site, will be your own and I will not in any way shape or form be held responsible in compensating you for your losses.
