As if the Pacers let Hibbert sit out for both of Miami's final possesions.. you think they would have learned it was a bad idea after the first Lebron blow by lay up....

+1 - that mistake cost them the game imho.
 
If anything, Hibbert would have created that down low presence that may have given Lebron a 2nd thought about driving to the rim in the last few seconds of OT.

Worst comes to worse, Lebron would have gotten fouled badly by Hibbert (hopefully missing the shot) and his fate would depend on 2 free throws (to either tie/win the game).

I'd much rather have that scenario then an open lay up to win the game.

Great effort - I love the original song and I think you did a good job singing it.

You definitely have talent in your voice - I've heard you sing a few others songs and you do justice tn all the classics (love your song selection).

Similar to dancing, it takes a lot of guts to showcase your singing talent. Keep it up Meetu!

I cant access the link, but is that the guy who was trying to do Bhangra Blizzard or something?


Yea, I think the link Basim wanted was this one..

Yes yomamajama! You nailed it - it's the guy who wanted to put on "Bhangra Allstars" (which failed horribly and he never give teams money that they were promised for placing nor reimbursed judges) and then essentially "stole" the registration money for his next competition "Bhangra Blizzard" (not to be confused with the former University of Buffalo competition).

footballforlife - thanks for posting the correct link my friend. I fixed my original post.

You obviously haven't read about the absolute best competition in Bhangra history - "Desi Dhamaka: Bhangra Allstars" hosted by the one and only - Anil "The Fraud" Prasad.
 
There have been a few others that I know about, but that's probably the most entertaining if you care to read about it.

Moderator's Note: Saleem "Thor" Malkana may be coming with the Mjölnir. Get pumped, and tread lightly evildoers

The tesseract has been open for too long and unleashed a whole world of goons/thugs into our civil world! We need a savior! Please don't let Loki's evil sceptor hold you back Saleem. Your mjölnir shall always prevail these vast lands!

Waiting for thread to be locked.. a lot of unnecessary drama in a good topic that sparked some great posts on the issue of artists singing over their own songs.

#Avengers #S.H.I.E.L.D #Yasaswi "Captain America" Raparla - now's your time to rise!

Nice article. Glad to see BTF, competitions, and a few individual teams getting more exposure. It's great for the circuit!

I *really* hope the basketball fans from BTF got a chance to check out the Playoffs games tonight. If not, go watch the highlights - I promise you, it will be worth your time.

Chicago with the huge upset over the Heat in Game 1. Wade only had 14 points, wow.

Spurs vs Golden State - GS was up 16 with 4 minutes left in the 4th! How do you blow that? Gotta admit Curry was insane this game, but you cannot stop the fundamentals, consistency, and teamwork of the Spurs. Don't turn your back on the Spurs for a second.

Overall my two favorite teams took the W tonight, so I'm a happy camper.

/BTF out

OKC in 6, San Antonio in 5, Miami in 7, New York in 7

My predicitions are in line with Shawn's, but I think Miami will win in 6 (unless Derick Rose comes back & plays like was pre-injury.. then we are really gonna have series!!). I'm a Bulls fan too and I would love to see them advance further. Even though their team & roster has a ton of heart, there is just too much raw talent on the stacked Miami squad.
 
Should be some great matchups nonetheless! I agree with Harman, the Heat & Spurs would definitely be an excellent finals battle.
 
Let's see what happens in these next two weeks,

Have to tried searching BTF or more specifically the Media Center?

If you did, with a bit of quick filtering, you would have came across this thread with your requested mp3: http://bhangrateamsforum.com/discuss/bhangra-mixes-and-music/bu-bhangra-bbc-mix/msg209549/#msg209549

Hope this helps you for the future,

Do any of you have experience with Vent vs Teamspeak vs Mumble? Is Vent still the best way to go ?

I've used Vent & Teamspeak - haven't had a chance to use Mumble. Ventrilo is quite a stable program and there is a lot of support out of there (if needed). From what I read, Mumble has been releasing builds as they work on stability issues that come about and there is still many features missing.

I like Ventrilo for the ease of use and least amount of lag. Another big advantage is that many people already have it installed on their PC's - especially if they do any sort of PC gaming, since it dominates in that market (it was the first & original VOIP tool).

My suggestion would be to stick with Ventrilo since the majority of us that previously used Vent have it already & know how to use it.

I was actually meant to write that if we can host it on BTF's dedicated server, that would be best (no cost to anyone). Glad we have the available resources & it's a possibility.


Anyway, Saleem/Swi/Navkarn - if you need any additional help with setting it up (server side), don't hesitate to ask. I use vent in a few gaming communities and have gone through the entire process before.


Alongside what PartyJatt mentioned, it would be nice to have access to a few moderators that we can get a hold of quickly to take care of any issues. In other gaming communities that I'm involved with, we sometimes get people that purposely join for the purposes of trolling or simply trying to "crash" the ventrillo. While there is no fool proof way of preventing abusers from joining, IP banning usually seems to work best.


For those who don't know what vent is (yomamajama & others), you can check out this thread for a brief summary: http://bhangrateamsforum.com/discuss/off-topic/official-btf-ventrilo-info!

Let's bring BTF Ventrilo back to serve this purpose and other such community building projects. I'd throw down a little money to keep it running.


Yesssss! Let's bring back the BTF Vent!! It's such a delight to speak with other people from the circuit. It's especially fun when there are events that we can view together (i.e. competition live streams).

We could even have a fundraiser to keep the BTF ventrillo alive or simply charge people to gain access. That way the burden is not all on one person to keep it running (hence why it died before).

By the way, I've done some quick research and this is by the far the cheapest place to rent a ventrillo server from: http://planetventrilo.com/ventrilo-servers.html

We could start off with a 25 slot server (pay the $52 - just need to get 10 people to pay $5 each), then expand when/if needed.

Sawhill69 nailed it. As of now, Dwight is way better than Bynum. I would trust him to be far more consistent overall.

Wow, this is freakin' awesome! lol. Loved the concept and the jori interaction with Sid was hilarious. Pao was definitely the best place to try something like this out - it would have sucked for Ram to keep having to adjust (and try to balance) his pagg in a normal competition.


I wish there was more interaction with the other dancers and wish the camera held in place better, but overall this was amazing FCB!!

Thank you SO much FCB for capturing these precious moments and for sharing them with all of us!

Haha, most of these videos are so delightful to watch! I absolutely love seeing the "behind the scenes" footage from mixers, pre-parties, tech times, and teams just chillin. It's great to see the love being spread.

Pao always goes above and beyond for teams - must feel so nice have an opportunity to perform at a large exhibition event like this without the mindset of winning 1st, 2nd, or 3rd (and without the heavy preparation that goes into routines/performances before a competition)!

A tough song to find, especially in high quality. See attached.


Make sure you contribute to BhangraTeamsForum (BTF) in more ways than just asking for songs always! ;)


Hope this helps,

Awesome looking paggan Deepi! I'm sure this video will be a *very* valuable resource to bhangra teams, especially considering it will be English. If you can make the video using multiple angles (or at least pan the camera so it's easier to follow), that would be awesome.


Definitely would like to see another video on the starching process, because there is one that I can remember ever being made (featuring Jasmeet).

Done. Hope you guys get it. Good luck and enjoy!
