Article by Habib Ahmed
Let me start off by saying, Shahrukh Khan hasn't really been at the top of his games since Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, which released more than 3 and a half years ago.
Let us analyze:
My Name Is Khan (2010): This was probably the most awaited film of 2009 and many were expecting it to cross 100 crore, as Aamir Khan's last two releases had done 116 crore (Ghajini) and 202 crores (3 Idiots). It took a good opening and was critically acclaimed too, in fact the Karan Johar film was one of the best reviewed movies of 2010. However, this film crashed in the second week and ended with lifetime collections of Rs 74 Crore. Even Akshay Kumar, who was going through a rough patch, was able to deliver a solid-hit when Housefull grossed 75 crore during the IPL season.
Verdict: HIT
Ra.One: Like most SRK movies, this too was one of the most awaited flicks of the year. Due to the sheer amount of money spent. the hype behind it and the 5 day extended Diwali weekend; the trade was expecting this to cross 200 crore. Ra One opened well, it's second day after release was a record for the highest single day collections (surpassed later by Ek Tha Tiger). But unfortunately, the film crashed after a week due to mixed/negative word of mouth. This film DID NOT CROSS 120 CRORE if you exclude regional collections.
Verdict: Above Average to HIT (some say the film has lost several crores)
Don 2: SRK's first Christmas release took a good opening, although the trade expected the opening to be a lot higher. The film sustained for 2 and half weeks, did well at multiplexes but was a non-starter at single screens. However, its overall collections was once again below expectations as the film collected Rs 112 crore.
Verdict: Hit
Jab Tak Hai Jaan: SRK, Katrina, Yash Chopra, A.R. Rahman ' it could not have gotten bigger or better. But who would have expected that the collections after the initial weekend would be on the same level as Son Of Sardar, even though the Ajay Devgan starrer released on fewer screens? Like every other SRK film, this too got good reviews, but 106 (BOI) or 120 (official) whichever figure you take, it was still below the mark.
Verdict: HIT
Chennai Express: This year SRK takes Salman's EID slot. But he has a bigger challenge on his hands, as Akshay Kumar's Once Upon A Time In Mumbai Again is also slated to release on the same day (August 8th). If both films have the same number of screens, then OUATIM 2 might just take a better opening as it's the sequel to one of 2010's most loved films and has great recall value too.
That brings me to the big question ' Is Shahrukh Khan the 'numero uno superstar' that he once was between 1995 � 2009 ? Is his star power on the wane?

Reigning champion Jorge Lornzo eased to victory in Mugello today to record his second win in a row.
Pole sitter Dani Pedrosa got off to a good start, but a hard move from Lorenzo at the first corner sat him up and Lorenzo then led to the flag.
Marquez got a good start to settle in to third place behind his team-mate...

after that bone-headed move, but I have to agree with Spies in that it was more of a racing incident than Marquez's move at Jerez. I'm sure all the HTFU crowd agrees.Once again, everyone else apart from Rossi was great ... particularly Jorge who has the added responsibility of carrying the team.Shame for Marquez, but I guess that's what this year is about and props to Brad Smith who was immense to be riding out there today. Two tough rookies.Another great race.

he did win at Mugello last year and did win by 5+seconds. I agree it does seem odd that people are presumably in paid employment to come up with these headlines though.

Alvaro was directly behind and following the exact same racing line as Bradl. Rossi ran wide (much wider than Bradl and Alvaro), slowed down, and cut back on to the racing line smashing into Alvaro. A racing incident, but Rossi's fault.

..needs a fkin slap. He's got form for this type of brain-out first lap criminality. Rossi was in the front and the prick rode straight into the side of him. I hope they ban him for the rest of the season.
Val was lucky to walk away from that one..what a star he is, smiling and joking to the camera after such a close call. You've got to feel sorry for the sea of yellow, who would no doubt have witnessed a podium from the most popular racer of all time if not for Butthead.
Ah well..I expect he'll put it right in Barcelona.
Another stormer from Cal..two more laps and he'd have had Pugwash.
Somebody ought to have a word with Moody & Ryder..fkin pair of drama queens. I hope they get booted off our screens and out the paddock next year.

Another brilliant ride from Cal,a few problem`s for Dani,{last time it was Jorge},and a stomping ride from JL! And once again it proved that the fastest bike does`n`t alway`s win,bleeding obvious to those of us who know about racing,eh Wosi?.......MM rode well,but he is a rookie,so it was inevitable that mistake`s would be made along the way.....Look`s like Cal is going to secure a good 4th in the championship,the way he`s riding,just a Work`s ride away from alien status!......Why the fck would Yamaha even consider Pol?..Oh that`s right,they chose Rossi,how`s that working out?
seems to be a very common participant in crashes in recent seasons. I think he just doesn't act or react as the top riders do which is why they have problems with him if they get back in the field.

List of breweries in Oklahoma
This is a list of breweries in Oklahoma, a U.S. state.
Brewing in Tulsa dates back to the late 1930s with the Ahrens Brewing Company and their Ranger Beer line. The Ahrens Brewing Company opened in May 1938 as a large scale production brewery which employed more than 30 people at its onset. Their Ranger Beer, Ranger Special Brew, and Ranger Winter Brew were popular among Tulsans of the time; however the brewery experienced only a short existence. They were forced into bankruptcy in February 1940. The details of what went wrong with the brewery have been lost over time, but it is believed that the Ahrens were put out of business by "unfair" practices from the breweries in Oklahoma City. [1] Oklahoma's alcohol laws prevent brewpubs (restaurants with an on premise brewery) from brewing beer with an alcohol content greater than 3.2% by weight or 4% by volume. Also, any beer above 3.2% alcohol must be sold unrefrigerated in licensed liquor stores.[2]

- Choc Beer Company[3][5] – Krebs

CrucifixBefore he left the house, Cross always stopped in front of the mirror hung on the back of his door, adjusted his collar, ran a clawed hand through his slicked back white hair, stared at his reflection with black and white eyes and a devilish grin. Afterwards, he would routinely reach upwards and unhook his striped fedora from the wall and close his eyes before stepping from the abode's welcoming entrance, naturally imagining loving himself as he locked the door behind him and began sauntering aristocratically down the sidewalk.Crucifix by DoctorCritical

Here are 4 diy advent calendars you can make from paper or cardboard!
Here are 4 diy advent calendars you can make from paper or cardboard!
Have you ever had a frame but no idea what to put inside it? Why not say something that is important to you using words and make your own DIY Word Art!
One thing that is important for both my wife and I is to play, have fun and be creative, whether it is crafting or composing music (Elise), playing with tools or tones. Everyday life can be stressful from time to time, then it's important for us to have something on the wall reminding us to take it easy and keep doing with what we love. In other words, as the Norwegian philosopher Arne Næss once said: Never stop playing!
For this DIY Word Art we used the following supplies:
1. Start with coloring the the letters. We colored ours gently to keep that hand colored look. 2. Then cut out the letters with the pair of scissors. 3. Attach the sheet of paper to the passpartout using tape. This way you're making sure that the art stay in place. 4. Then glue the word onto the paper. Now we wanted this art to be playful and did not strive for perfection. If you're a perfectionist, then making circles with a compass will give you nice paths for the letters.
The DIY Wall Art completes this corner of our living room. I think the strong colors work great against all the light colors of the wall, sofa and lamp. The dotted pillows with our names on are from Tiny Prints.
Make scrabble tile earrings or as I like to say: Put your loved ones in your ears!
I've made these for my wife and the 'A' stands for Albert and 'E' stands for Erlend. Now, to make these earrings is easy, though you need the following:
All of the above can be bought at eBay. Glue them posts onto the tiles and that's it, you've got a pair of scrabble tile earrings!

Galaxy Cluster MS 0735
November 6, 2006
This is a composite image of galaxy cluster MS0735.6+7421, located about 2.6 billion light-years away in the constellation Camelopardus. The image represents three views of the region that astronomers have combined into one photograph. The optical view of the galaxy cluster, taken by the Hubble Space Telescope's Advanced Camera for Surveys in February 2006, shows dozens of galaxies bound together by gravity. Diffuse, hot gas with a temperature of nearly 50 million degrees permeates the space between the galaxies. The gas emits X-rays, seen as blue in the image taken with the Chandra X-ray Observatory in November 2003. The X-ray portion of the image shows enormous holes or cavities in the gas, each roughly 640 light-years in diameter — nearly seven times the diameter of the Milky Way. The cavities are filled with charged particles gyrating around magnetic field lines and emitting radio waves shown in the red portion of image taken with the Very Large Array telescope in New Mexico in October 2004. The cavities were created by jets of charged particles ejected at nearly light speed from a supermassive black hole weighing nearly a billion times the mass of our Sun lurking in the nucleus of the bright central galaxy. The jets displaced more than one trillion solar masses worth of gas. The power required to displace the gas exceeded the power output of the Sun by nearly ten trillion times in the past 100 million years.

Our internet site is an online marketer for ebay and simply clicking on the products presented on this site will point you into the ebay shop. Owning several credit cards may be a good thing, but it is wise to use only one particular credit card for buying online. This method may help avert any mix-up when attempting to keep track of your online expenses. Prior to purchasing, find out if the shipping charges are pricey, as there are suppliers that generate their income on the shipping cost rather than on the merchandise itself. When you are online shopping, make it a point to shop at home. Never ever buy things on the internet using a public Wi-Fi connection because cyberpunks can tap into Wi-Fi connections at hot spots, like airports, hotels and coffee shops, to take your private information. One awesome thing about virtual stores is the fact that price of running a business is a lot cheaper as doing catalog tasks is no longer necessary plus the, choice of items is way better. When you buy stuff on the web and paying with your credit card, you should create a list of your receipts or keep your e-mail receipts within a designated folder so that you can keep track of your transactions and validate them with your current receipts. The addition of the shopping cart feature on web shopsis not just beneficial for the shop but also for the customer since it makes it possible for the consumer to search for extra items he/she could possibly choose to buy and settling for all of it primarily during check out.
If you are buying right from numerous online merchants, it's always best to have diverse security passwords for each and every personal account. Just simply keep an eye on your passwords using a secure document inside your personal computer or within the cloud.
Twitter or Facebook typically provides promotions displaying good deals designed for online customers by way of guiding all of them to just click shortened links. Do not click on these shortened urls. Look for the vendor's official site and following that, double check if there are actually really good bargains currently offered. Who is going to pay for the shipping and delivery costs? In case you do not like spending money on shipping costs, this is the question that you should ask so you're able to avoid bidding on items that bills you over shipping. Examining an online shops policy on return, refund, and shipping & handling of goods is often beneficial when it comes to you as the customer because it lets you choose whether to pursue or cease dealing with them, particularly if they don't consider such. E-commerce is an excellent business enterprise development for business owners who are looking for more exposure in their business enterprise. Bidding will not end on the first couple of bids. If you can, hold your bid up to the point the bidding for the merchandise is near its conclusion. Do not fall for less-than-honest email messages informing you that your account is going to be cancelled unless you log-on using the link they've furnished.

Recipe: Chicken Pasta Bake with Spinach & Parmesan
Freezer Friendly Recipes from The Kitchn
Pasta casseroles are traditionally cheesy and luxurious affairs. My mother-in-law's white lasagna, for instance, is a veritable festival of cream cheese and sour cream — a party dish if I ever saw one. But I think that pasta casseroles can also serve as weeknight suppers that will fill you up without weighing you down
Here's a pasta bake in that spirit: creamy but not too rich, stuffed with greens, satisfying and homey but still light. It even gives you one pan for dinner and another to freeze!

Recipe: Mexican Chicken Soup
Weeknight Dinner Recipes from The Kitchn
This is the soup my one-fourth Mexican mother used to make all the time and for that reason alone, it is authentic to me. Yes, go to Mexico and you will have a pretty different soup, but this is the way she fed me as a child, and so it is how I make it today. It has a lot to do with using up leftovers.

Weeknight Dinner Recipes from The Kitchn
One of my favorite dinner party dishes is this paneer cheese curry, Mughlai-style. I've simplified the recipe and it actually takes less than 30 minutes to put together, including the prep, but it doesn't lose any of its incredible flavor in the process. But I can guarantee that your family and guests will think you've slaved over the stove for hours when you present this to them, all creamy, fragrant and delicately spiced.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Set sports bar higher
I am getting tired of the seeming low expectations of both of Winnipeg's professional sports organizations, the Jets and the Blue Bombers. It seems that both these organizations are content with just making the playoffs and the fans also should be content with this.
I find it disturbing when hockey cities like Vancouver, Chicago, Detroit, Pittsburgh and Los Angeles set their goal as not only making the playoffs but also winning the Stanley Cup. Jets coach Claude Noel recently stated he would be satisfied with a three-win-two-loss win start to our season. This doesn't sound like the expectation of a championship team.
The Bombers are asking fans to be patient. But Montreal fired its new coach early in the season and made changes quickly when the organization wasn't satisfied with the team's performance.
If goals are set low, then that is what you get: teams that don't reach championship status.

Fire Fighters Prepare for Annual Lawn Party Fundraiser in Bridgewater
Reporter: Carly Stephenson
BRIDGEWATER, Va. -- Thousands of people will show up for a lawn party this week and it's for a good cause in Bridgewater.
This is the 75th year the Bridgewater Volunteer Fire Company and their family members have held the event.
Doug Martin has been getting things ready for the last week.
"Cleaning up the grounds, doing some mowing and weed eating, maintenance on our stands," said Martin, Chair of the lawn party and volunteer fire fighter.
Tents are already up and people are delivering their tractors ahead of the tractor pulls and the parade.
All the money from the lawn party will go toward funding Bridgewater's Volunteer Fire Company.
"This lawn party gets us about 75% of our operating costs, which pays the electric bill at the fire house, which puts fuel in the fire trucks," said Martin.
About 125 volunteers from the fire company and their family members will run the food and drink stands.
"We get all kinds of outside help, from different civic organizations," said Martin.
On Wednesday, the party kicks off with a kids tractor pull. Wednesday is also kids night, where kids can pay for a wristband for rides at a fixed price.
On Thursday, the big event is the antique tractor pull. "Anything 1954 and older is able to pull at our tractor pull," said Martin.
From Wednesday to Friday, Martin said they expect thousands of people. It's a yearly tradition that helps pay the department's bills.
"We are just about 100 % volunteer agency, which means, we do not charge to go to you know come to your house for an emergency," said Martin.
They are looking for volunteers in the community to help prepare ham sandwiches at the fire company on Wednesday morning.
As far as any traffic issues, Bridgewater police will be helping on Friday and Saturday for the two parades.
There is a small area on Grove Street for parking. However, volunteers recommend that you park at Turner Ashby High School.
They will have shuttle buses running every 15 minutes from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m.

Textile and Apparel
Textile and Apparel
Shorter fashion trend cycles, increasing competition, and globalization have brought both challenges and opportunities to the textile and apparel industry. More than ever before, to be successful, companies in this industry have to be able to work with the global extended enterprise environment harmoniously and promptly, in areas such as product development, manufacturing, marketing, and distribution. Challenges that textile and apparel companies are facing include the following.
Read More...
Globalized manufacturing brings direct competition to domestic production in high-labor-cost countries. In these countries, although onshore textile and apparel manufacturers manage to survive due to a few remaining advantages (e.g., prestige image associated with certain countries such as Italy; better control over processes; shorter lead times), they are under pressure to cut production and product costs.
Although companies relying on offshore production benefit from low labor costs, an elongated value chain imposes drawbacks on efforts such as on-time delivery, quality control, and collaboration between product development and production.
The growing "private label" business model from the retail sector is putting apparel manufacturers in a more delicate situation, in which they have to maintain an intricate relationship with retailers that are both customers and competitors at the same time.
To remain competitive, textile and apparel companies are becoming more diversified. Diversification brings new opportunities, but also creates challenges in management wherever a company adds new brands, new product categories, or new distribution channels into its portfolios.
Fashionable apparel goods now move faster than ever before. Many apparel companies must narrow the gap between their long product cycle time and the constantly changing (and accelerating) demands of consumers.
There are a number of business software solutions (some with textile and apparel industry-specific functionality) available for this industry to adopt. Some of the solutions include enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems and product lifecycle management (PLM) systems specialized for the textile and apparel industry; merchandising systems (MS); and point of sale (POS) systems.

"LIVING A REAL NIGHTMARE" After Renault received the tipoff, its own security team, which includes former military police, or gendarmes, launched an internal investigation. French media have reported that Renault also hired a private detective who may have broken the law by tapping the men's phones and hacking their bank accounts.

Location and staff couldn't be faulted.
Hotel itself is in need of a little 'sprucing up' as is looking a bit tired. Was a little pricey compared to some apartments that could be rented in the area.
The price for the room
Wifi and cable tvdid not work sometimes.
location, beach, swimming pool
nice newly opened beach bar/resto and access to the beach, right next to the bus stop and to many restaurants in walking distance.
The rooms were alright but a bit dusty, no real luxury element.
Great location for going out & lovely beach.
Beach bar closed so no facilities & old loungers.
The Room was spacious, cool and quiet, just what I needed to rest and recuperate.
I did not like being given the run around to get the Room I requested, even after I showed my booking to the desk clerk from my iPad. I requested a Garden view room, king sized and was offered an Ocean view at the back of the Hotel, I had to tote my luggage on rugged cobble-like blocks,until I was too tired and had to return to the front desk, to find out why I was being sent to an ocean view when I requested a Garden view.I was recuperating from a Back surgery, no porters available and no one seem to care. A young dark skinned lady finally decided to assist me after the clerk with whom I spoke first, totally ignored me. I was very disappointed and was about to go elsewhere when I was encouraged to remain and was escorted professionally to the room I requested by the dark skinned young clerk. Some of the staff need a Course in Public relations. They must stop judging and assuming that the Guest does not know what they want, even after the Guest would have explained themselves. Stop pushing people around.
the location right by the beach Lovely gardens and facilities, The apartment on 5th floor overlooking pool was lovely - well equipped and clean, spacious and comfortable.
We had to ask to be moved as the garden view we requested was in fact 'car-park' view. The ground floor apartment was damp smelling and dark. No kettle, no frying pan, horrible shower curtain. When we moved to the 5th floor and 'pool-view' it was amazing.

My window faces shootouts, drug overdoses
Live amongst no roses, only the drama, for real
from Nas – Memory Lane (Sittin' in Da Park) Lyrics on Genius
As he demonstrates so many times on Illmatic, Nas has an incredible talent for describing life in the streets with raw emotion. Where he is, there's no light at the end of the tunnel, only hardships and struggle. he can see all these things happening from his projects window. That's what he sees when he looks out into the world, no gardens or happy scenes. As well as Nas has said himself, he didn´t write Illmatic — New York did. He was just an instrument to channel it. All he did was open his window and soaked it all in.
The no roses line is similar to the Tupac quote about a flower growing in the sidewalk crack of the hood, as a symbol for someone great making it out of tough situations. But Nas is disillusioned to this, he just sees problems without any hope.
Note the homophone: no roses / neurosis

Cruise Confession: I Showed up for My Cruise… A Year Early
November 26, 2014 | By Jamey Bergman | No Comments
It happens to everyone. You book something when you're not paying attention and you get the dates wrong.
Normally you catch the mistake in time, but worst-case scenario, you endure some mild embarrassment when you show up on the wrong day/week/month, right?
One of our members took that scenario to the extreme, and has likely set a record for "Earliest Arrivals for a Cruise Disembarkation."
DavidandPamela, brought his wife (presumably Pamela) and his mother-in-law along for a lovely Mississippi River cruise on American Queen Steamboat Company's American Queen — only to realize he'd shown up at the dock a FULL YEAR EARLY.
"His mother-in-law, too?! He'll never live that one down!"
Wanderlust Wednesday: Overlooking Pompeii
November 26, 2014 | By Cruise Critic | No Comments
Every Wednesday, we'll be taking you on a journey around the world to some of the most interesting places our members have trekked, swum or merely witnessed from afar while cruising.
Whether these photos inspire you to plan a relaxing escape or walk on the wild side, we hope they ignite your senses and give you ideas for your next cruising adventure. If you have a photo you'd love to share, send it to us at firstname.lastname@example.com or post it in our member photo gallery. Feel free to send us your Twitter handle. Maybe you'll get a shoutout next #WanderlustWednesday!
Pompeii is one of Italy's most sought after attractions. The ancient Roman city and UNESCO World Heritage Site is easily accessible from Naples, so plan a visit if it's on your itinerary. Although the mysterious aura of Pompeii can't be captured in one shot, we love this one submitted by Cruise Critic member CAcruzfunatic from a cruise onboard Royal Caribbean's Voyager of the Seas.
Just Back From…the "stretched" MSC Armonia: LEGOs and more
November 25, 2014 | By Cruise Critic | No Comments
Carving a cruise ship apart and putting it back together sounds like a complicated process – and it is. The "stretching" procedure that MSC Armonia underwent this fall, part of the company's "Renaissance Program" added a new 80-foot section to the vessel's midship, introducing a new LEGO playroom, refurbishing cabins and other changes.
I took an overnight trip on Armonia in August before the changes on the 13-year-old ship, sailing from Split, Croatia to Venice, Italy. Last week, I boarded the ship for a three-night cruise to check out all the new features, post-stretch. Here's what you'll find on the redone ship:
An Expansive Top Deck. From what I've seen, the ship extension appears remarkably seamless (pun intended). Where you can notice the change is on the top decks. (there's an actual color change in the flooring, demarcating the old sections of ship from the new.) The area truly feels expansive — almost to the point of dwarfing the pools — and I can't imagine it getting crowded.

Member Review of the Week: Nice Try, Mother Nature
November 25, 2014 | By Cruise Critic | No Comments
Each week, we choose five cruise reviews written by our members, and showcase one as the Member Review of the Week. In the spotlight this week is Cruise Critic member TheConsort's recent cruise to the Western Caribbean on Norwegian Sun.
Overall Impression: Cruising during hurricane season is a gamble. Rough seas and high winds can lead to missed ports or entirely new itineraries. TheConsort got lucky, only running into patches of rain and choppy waters on his recent cruise aboard Norwegian Sun. Even better, he never let it dampen the mood. His motto: "Cruises are what you make of them. If you look for problems, then you will find them."
Onboard Highlights: Dinner at Cagney's, Le Bistro and Moderno Churrascaria thanks to the trio package, which basically equaled paying for two and getting one free.
Port Highlight: Belize, although TheConsort strongly suggests escaping the port itself to get a real taste of Belize's beauty and culture.
Don't Miss: Taking advantage of the complimentary steam room and sauna.
Watch Out For: Your flight home — don't book it too early in the morning! TheConsort witnessed a fellow passenger who missed his flight
More: Read TheConsort's full review for more details about their cabin, the food and adventures in port, plus more useful planning tips.
For their efforts, TheConsort, Traveler1986, cboyle, MeanMeosh and Gary908 receive Cruise Critic logo items.

Cruise Gift Cards: Lines That Let You Give the Gift of Cruising
November 24, 2014 | By Ashley Kosciolek | 1 Comment
'Tis the season to start thinking about the cruisers on your holiday shopping list. In the last two weeks, both Princess Cruises and Tauck rolled out new gift card programs, and with Black Friday looming, it's time for a quick roundup of similar products. Read on for a list of popular lines that feature gift cards, many of which allow buyers to choose from a selection of available designs and styles in addition to adding personalization.
Carnival: Physical gift cards and e-gift cards are offered in amounts ranging from $25 to $2,000. Purchase a card here.
Celebrity: You can order an actual gift card or an e-gift card for denominations between $25 and $500. Purchase a card here.
Norwegian: Norwegian offers physical gift cards only, in amounts between $25 and $1,000. Purchase a card here.
Disney: Physical gift cards are available in increments that range from $25 to $500. Recipients can also use them at Disney theme parks and resorts, as well as the Disney Store. Purchase a card here.
Princess: Both physical and e-gift cards are offered, and they're available in dollar amounts between $50 and $2,000. Purchase a card here.
Royal Caribbean: Choose from physical or e-gift certificates in denominations from $50 to $2,000. Purchase a gift certificate here.
Although they don't offer gift cards or certificates, other lines — including MSC, Holland America, Oceania and Silversea — allow for the purchase of onboard credit or other amenities for those who already have cruises booked. Such gifts might include spa treatments, dinner in alternative restaurants or romance packages that offer things like flowers and Champagne.
We Dare You! 8 Things to Do On Your Next Cruise
November 24, 2014 | By Erica Silverstein | 3 Comments
How many times have you been tempted to do something silly on a cruise, but held back because you felt a teeny bit embarrassed? How often have you kept your mouth shut when you overheard a fellow passenger being rude? Are you a slave to propriety, even in the middle of the Caribbean?
When you're on vacation, surrounded by people you'll never see again, there's no need to hold back. Yes, your FlowRider wipeout could go viral on Facebook, but everyone will be impressed that you were brave enough to try it. And sometimes doing the thing that will make you feel good is worth risking a snide comment from a stranger.
So come on, let your hair down and try one (or all!) of these things on your next cruise. We dare you!
Pig out. Everyone knows that you can order as many entrees or desserts as you want in the main dining room, but how many of you have gone ahead and done it? We're not talking about ordering half portions, either. If the scallops and the burger are calling to you, go ahead and order both with your head held high. If you want to get down with the chocolate melting cake and the creme brulee, do it without muttering excuses or talking up the morning's workout. Eat what makes you happy — the cruise only lasts a week.

Destination Spotlight: 5 Reasons to Cruise in Cambodia and Vietnam
November 21, 2014 | By Jeannine Williamson | No Comments
The majority of my river and canal cruises have been in Europe – which makes sense, as it's the world's most popular river cruise destination. Recently, I floated much further afield, along the lesser-traveled waters of Cambodia and Vietnam aboard the 48-passenger, colonial-style Indochine owned by CroisiVoyages, part of French-owned CroisiEurope. The eight-night cruise took in part of the 2,710-mile Mekong (or Mother) River – Southeast Asia's longest river – and Tonle Sap, the region's largest freshwater lake.
Here are five reasons to take a cruise from Siem Reap to Ho Chi Minh city (or in reverse).
1. Spectacular Sights. Pack plenty of memory cards and don't forget your charger as there are unique and amazing sights every step of the way. Cambodia's Siem Reap is the gateway to Angkor, the ancient capital of the Khmer Empire and the world's largest religious complex. The jewel in the crown is the imposing Angkor Wat temple (it's well worth getting up early to watch the sunrise). Nearby, almost hidden in the tropical jungle, is Ta Prohm (used in the movie "Tomb Raider"), where tree roots are entwined with the temple buildings.
Away from the main tourist attractions, I took countless photos of everyday street (and river) life, from the fishermen who live with their families in floating houses to bustling villages and crowded cities where street traders sell everything from food to gas syphoned into soda bottles!
Four more reasons to cruise in Cambodia and Vietnam
Hot on the Forums: Comical Cruise Complaints
November 21, 2014 | By Jeannine Williamson | 10 Comments
Side-splitting comedians may be on the bill, but look no further than the guest relations desk for a rich source of (unofficial) cruise ship entertainment. Blissfully unaware of their audience, passengers grumble long – and loud – about their perceived "complaints." I once witnessed an irate couple, outraged that the two cases of wine they'd brought with their luggage had been confiscated, demand that the cruise line fork out the airfare to ship their banned booty back home (instead it was returned to them at the end of the voyage, as it would be for anyone else).
It's this kind of thing that comes up in a very amusing thread started by forum member johhnnyt who asks: "What is the funniest complaint you ever heard (or overheard) at guest relations?"
On an excursion to Nice, he witnessed a woman throwing a fit because she didn't expect to be on a bus for an hour. "The guide explained to her they couldn't turn the bus around just for her," johhnnyt wrote. "She then insisted she and her husband be left in the next town 'and we'll arrange our own transportation back to the ship'."
"The next day she was down at guest relations, demanding that the guide be fired for ignoring her and that she be reimbursed €400 for the money that it cost her to hire a boat to bring her back to the ship (although she had misplaced the receipt). The people at guest relations tried their best to calm her down, but explained to her that neither request was going to happen, since they didn't do anything wrong. Fellow passengers who were in line at guest relations could not stop laughing, which no doubt infuriated her even more."

Despite sterling performances Ranu Mohanty fails to find sponsors
She is selected to represent the country at the tourney to be held in Canada next month
Except for cricket association, none responded to her plea for financial support
BHUBANESWAR: Disappointed at not finding any sponsors to enable her to participate in the forthcoming world power-lifting championship, the 'strong woman' in weightlifting Ranu Mohanty has threatened to quit athletics.
Addressing newspersons here on Tuesday, Ms. Ranu, who did the nation proud by bagging six gold, seven silver and one bronze medals in various international, continental and national meets in the past four years, said that she was selected to represent the country during the forthcoming World Power Lifting Championship to be held in Canada from November 2 to 7. "This will be my third participation in world championship. I need at least Rs.2.35 lakhs to fly to Canada and take up the mandatory dope test. Since I am unemployed and the State weightlifting and power lifting associations are not financially sound to support my trip, I have appealed to the State Government, several corporate houses and even the Chief Minister for support. I am yet to receive any response. The Orissa Cricket Association has agreed to provide an assistance of Rs.50,000," Ms. Ranu said.
Losing focus
"For the last 10 years, I have been striving to maintain my track record. I did the State and the nation proud with my achievements. When I am supposed to focus on my practice, I am forced to look out for sponsors, which is distracting," said Ms. Ranu.
She emerged as the national champion at the recently concluded senior national championship held at Durg in Chhattisgarh in the 75 kg category to claim her participation in the world meet, informed Ms. Ranu's coach and mentor Hariprasad Patnaik. The acclaimed athlete represented India in the Asian championship thrice bagging gold once and silver twice, he added. Equally adept at weightlifting, Ms. Ranu bagged the bronze medal in squat segment in the 2006 World Championship held in Norway.
