Manisha Koirala drinking problems surface after failed marriage

Bollywood actress Manisha Korirala was recently seen in a completely drunken condition at the party of a newly opened restaurant in Versova, Mumbai.



Manisha Koirala, who is facing problems in her married life and is planning to divorce her husband Samrat Dahal, had been invited by her ex-boyfriend Prashant Chaudhari, who owns the place.



Manisha Koirala had spilled food and drinks over her dress and was hardly in a condition to walk without being supported by friends.

Pics, Video: Shah Rukh Khan slaps Farah Khan's husband Shirish Kunder

Actor Shah Rukh Khan allegedly slapped director-choreographer and former best friend Farah Khan's husband Shirish Kunder at Sanjay Dutt's Agneepath success party. Sanjay Dutt and Sameer Arya led Shah Rukh Khan out of the restaurant before the fight could worsen even further.





According to eyewitnesses, Shah Rukh Khan pulled Shrish Kunder's hair and tee-shirt before slapping him. It is being said that Sanjay Dutt also slapped Shrish Kunder who was drunk and was constantly following Shah Rukh Khan and said something which irritated SRK.





The incident occurred at Aurus restaurant and lounge bar in Juhu at 3.30 a.m. when Shah Rukh Khan and others stars attended the party after the Filmfare Awards function.





When Ra.One was released, Shirish Kunder made fun of Shah Rukh Khan by tweeting: 'I just heard a 150 Cr firework fizzle.'



Farah Khan said, "Shah Rukh has always told me that physical abuse is the worst way to sort out a problem, and that it means the person who is hitting has either a personal or professional crisis going on. It saddens me to see him doing the same."

Blog Partner

A blog partner is another blog that your blog interacts with regularly, preferably mutually in both directions. A prime example is Tobold and Greedy. Another older and no longer active pair was Foo and Breevok way before Critical was conceived.

Why is it important to have a blog partner(s)?
Good question. Having a good blog partner increases readership because your readers can become his/hers and vice versa.

How do you choose a good blog partner?
Pretty straight forward, basically a blog that focuses on similar topics to your own. Its preferable to choose a "stronger" partner with more readership rather than a weaker partner, eg if you are learning to play tennis and Nadal happened to like you and spent time playing tennis with you, your game will improve much more quickly than if you played with beginners.

So who asks who out? Does the guy make the first move or what's the rules?
One of the easiest ways is as follows, which I learnt from my big bro Greedy. Firstly keep up to date with the partner blog's posts. When you see one that you disagree with, have an opinion BUT DONT comment on their blog. Instead create a post on your own blog sharing your negative/opposing opinion whilst linking to your blog partner. Here's a recent example. As you can see you dont need to have the complete opposite opinion, just disagreeing slightly is sufficient. Sooner or later the blog partner will somehow find you are blogging about them and hopefully return the favor starting a weird and wonderful internet/blog/crazy relationship.

You can do positive posts but to be honest that's a bit lame and gets boring and I think you'll lose readers.

Should I limit myself to one partner only?
No, some of the biggest bloggers have a massive network. But if you're starting off, start small. Choose one max two blogs that are very, very similar to your own and start interacting. Those of you that have been with Critical from the beginning know that my partners are Foo and Mox, chosen because they have a similar passion and competency of pro glyphing as myself. Faid and Jim/Flux pair up well because they both are skilled at media presentations (youtubes/podcasts).

I'm a small blog, what should I do?
Choose a stronger partner.

Ok what about if I'm a medium blog?
Help the little guys and partner downwards. Each one that partners back helps you a little bit. But every bit counts.

I'm a big blog, what's your advice?
How the feck should I know, you should be advising me!


So there you have it. Find your life partner now and make the link today. You'll thank me when your readership quadruples instantly!

Will you please keep me safe my entire natural life?

Spongebob is a baby rooster who loves everyone -- adults, kids, birds, pigs, dogs -- and he already has the confidence and self-esteem of a lion. 

Last week schoolchildren on a tour of Nevada SPCA enjoyed petting him and feeding him seeds. 

Spongebob needs a forever home where he will be safe, appreciated, and part of a social family.  Please ask for him by name at Nevada SPCA.

He needed us when his previous owner did not want him or his baby sisters anymore.

Sammie Lee, the expert cuddler.

Sammie Lee is a junior kitten who loves to cuddle, both with people and other cats. 

He is a handsome brown tabby with white, about 8 months of age, neutered, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.

Please kitten-proof your home for Sammie Lee's safety and protection.

At the time of rescue he had been thrown away into someone's backyard.

First Look Trailer: Talaash - Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Rani

Here are the first pictures and official trailer of Aaamir Khan's upcoming movie Talaash directed by Reema Kagti.







Kareena Kapoor and Rani Mukherji co-star with Aamir Khan in this film.



Talaash is produced by Excel Entertainment and Aamir Khan Productions, and will release on June 1, 2012.

John Wayne's life was saved by Chihuahuas.

John Wayne could hardly be any cuter.  He is a sweet, young calico guinea pig, about 18 months of age, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. 

Please ask for John Wayne by name in our Lovebugs Room. 

He had apparently been abandoned outdoors and crawled into a backyard where a man noticed his Chihuahuas circling and wrangling him.  The dogs did not hurt him, and instead effectively saved his life, as he stood no chance of survival outdoors alone.

James and Majesty, angelic babies debuting for adoption.

James

Majesty

These precious babies, brother James and sister Majesty, are tiny angels, both with loving and gentle natures.

They are Chihuahuas, now 3 months of age, spayed/neutered, and ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA.

We rescued their mother Lullaby, pictured below.  She was in labor and a deformed puppy inside of her had blocked her from giving birth.  Lullaby's previous owner was unable to provide medical care to save her life.

We rushed Lullaby into a veterinary hospital for an emergency C-section.  The veterinarians were able to save mom (Lullaby) and two of her babies, who we named James and Majesty.

Lullaby has since been spayed and adopted into a loving home.  Now its her puppies' turn to find owners who will cherish and adore them every day for the rest of their lives.

Lullaby, mother of James and Majesty

All I ask is to be loved and appreciated.

Sabrina is a beautiful jewel and her gentle spirit has been captured wonderfully in this brand new portrait courtesy of Pet'ographique (www.petographique.com). 

Sabrina only wants to be loved and to have peace-of-mind, so a calm and affectionate home environment is ideal for her. 

She is a lovely shorthair with crisp blue eyes, about 7 years of age, spayed, fine with other respectful cats, and awaiting adoption at Nevada SPCA.

She did nothing wrong to become homeless.  Instead, her previous owner moved into an apartment that does not allow cats.

Daily Blog Posts

Today's topic: Daily blog posts.

Below are some quick fire bullet points what Critical learnt while sticking to a daily posting schedule for 3 months and its advantages:

1. Less pressure on quality - if you do a bad post who cares, it gets pushed down in 24hrs. Your focus is on the next post rather than worrying whether readers loved your last post.

2. Smaller topics - easier to write, from an author point of view. Easy to read, from a reader's point of view.

3. Forces interblog interaction - no one has enough stuff to write without interacting with other blogs/authors. This results in increase viewership as readers from other blogs also read your blog, and vice versa returning the favor.

4. Increased subscriptions - if you post daily, even if your post quality is average, readers will read. All they want is new content to consume. Why? Think about when do you yourself read blogs. You dont do it as when you're working, as part of your job. You do it when you have free time and need to fill and kill time. Only if you get really lazy and really drop your quality do you lose readers.

5. Forces planning - in the same way we goblins in wow make lots of gold by having a good routine and sticking to it, so does posting daily. Create drafts early, finalise and schedule them to auto-post at the same time every day. Choosing a set time means you know how long you have to finish tonight's/tomorrow's post.

Think it sounds easy? Give it a go for a week, stick to a simple intro/body/conclusion format and I promise your readership will go up and up and up!


PS: See Croda's as a great example, he gets it. Well he did ... boooo Croda's girlfriend =).

Every day is like a picnic.

For Dawn, a cheery and light-hearted girl, life is like a picnic. 

Pet'ographique captured her personality beautifully in this brand new portrait to help Dawn find a loving, forever home. 

She is a Peke-A-Poo (Pekingese & Poodle), about 5 years of age, spayed, housetrained, crate-trained, good with dogs and older kids, and ready for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. 

Dawn's previous owner said she just could no longer take care of her.

Blogging a Passion??

Welcome to Critical's first post completely not related to his usual glyph ramblings!


So there I was, asking myself, what are the best topics to blog about, to achieve "success" in terms of blogging? What should be my new topic(s)? The obvious choices are either: what you are personally passionate about, or what you excel at. If you can hit the sweet spot that nails these two ... booya! Instant win!

Why do I say this? Look at the blogs that go from strength to strength to strength. Greedy, his blog does well because he is passionate about his topics. Same thing with Flux/Jim, Cold and Markco, they know (knew in Markco's case) exactly what they want their baby to become.

In reverse what about the blogs that die or slowly phase out, such as Critical's own blog or if you're an oldie you may remember Bangkok Bill. I dont think its because he/we lost the passion of blogging, more likely because we lost what we were passionately blogging about: the gold universe in wow.

So anyway, back to this blog. Hmmmm what is Critical super pro at and also loves, thats not glyphing and is still semi related my 89 subscribers? Blogging of course! Yes yes I'm a blog noob but 0 to 95 subs in 91 days, I believe is a decent achievement (actually I have no idea, there's no standards to compare against).

Its a huge tangent but hopefully not too many Critical Readers abandon ship during this change in direction. Hope you stick around for an interesting adventure!

Week 20 Blog Stats

Hola loyal Critical Fans still subscribed to my feed! And u other guys who keep coming back and boosting my page views even though there's been no new posts!

So anyway I hope everyone had a good Christmas and New Years! Quick stats for the 7 days ending 21 January 2012.

I can see ya'll thinking, whats with the post all of a sudden Critical? Hmmm I guess reading some of the recent articles in TUJ (Vile's and Alto's to be exact) made me miss blogging. Plus I never really achieved a personal side goal of disassociating my blog with wow so that its not reliant on the monthly subscription, which my big bro Greedy managed to do ages ago.

So what does this mean? To be honest I'm not quite sure. But as I've preached many times over I know the first step has to be setting a goal. Detractors may disagree, but I felt I achieved my previous goal. Going forward there must be a new destination set for this blog's journey, no matter how absurd or ridiculous. Just fine tune as you go along when you start to understand strengths, weaknesses, possible high value goals to achieve, low value goals to avoid being distracted by etc.

How about:
"To be the most popular gold blog who's author blogs about other stuff not always related to gold making, does not play wow, and does not blog daily".

Hmmmm. No one said winning the internet would be easy! Give me a few days and we'll see what sort of non-wow related rubbish Critical can come up with.



PS: remember its compulsory for Critical Fans to post a hi in blog stat posts if you're new! Click subscribe then post a hi below! Come on, it only takes 5 seconds, feed the Critical goblin today!

Lady MacBeth's triumphant survival and recovery.

Lady MacBeth relishes being pampered and reassured. 

Loving attention now for her is in stark contrast to what she has endured. At the time of rescue her right eye was terribly maimed, her left ear had collapsed, many of her teeth were missing, and she had been declawed. 

Lady MacBeth though is a survivor, and she is recovering well. Her right eye could not be saved and her left ear will not return to normal shape. But her spirits are brightening and we want her to have a lifetime of great love and comfort. 

Lady MacBeth is a Himalayan cat, about 9 years of age, spayed, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.

Jazzy's dark days are over and he is ready for a loving, bright future.

Jazzy sparkles with joy and dazzles us with his amazing smile.  We love his sunny personality. 

He is a Yellow Labrador Retriever mix, about 7 years of age, neutered, great with dogs and people, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. 

He is recovering beautifully from a horrific past.  He was one of the two dogs living in deplorable conditions at an abandoned home who had been the victim of tazering, as featured on 8 News Now TV on January 12th.  He was transferred to us from another shelter to address his medical needs (and the other dog was also transferred to a reputable rescue group). 

Jazzy is ready to experience what a loving home feels like!

Brutus - young Standard Poodle debuting for adoption.

Brutus is a very handsome, young Standard Poodle debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. 

He is sensitive, and shy with new people, but loving and warm-hearted with those he knows and trusts. 

A gentle home with someone knowledgeable about Standard Poodles is ideal. 

Brutus is 1 year of age, housetrained and crate-trained, neutered, fine with some dogs, and he needs regular professional grooming care. 

Please ask for Brutus by name when you visit.

The Aloha Puppies debut for adoption today!

Akoni

Kainoa

Kolohe

Kuuipo

Nainoa

Rescued when they were just a couple of weeks old and in great need, we placed them in a loving home environment with a foster mom.  Heroically, she nurtured and socialized these five baby boys to good physical and emotional well-being.

Nicknamed "The Aloha Puppies" due to their Hawaiian names, these brothers are playful and loving and enjoy squeaky toys and cuddling together in doggie beds.

They are unique Heinz 57s, perhaps with Chihuahua and Terrier, expected to remain small (or grow to medium size at most).  They are now 3 months of age, neutered, and ready for adoption.

Please consider adopting a pair for lifelong love and companionship.

I have unconditonal devotion for you.

Dee Dee would love to be your personal assistant, helping you around the house as much as she can, always being near and loyal.

She is a beautiful shorthair with a calico tail, previously declawed, spayed, about 5 years of age, and ready for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.

We rescued Dee Dee from another shelter.

This wonderful portrait is courtesy of Pet'ographique to help Dee Dee find a loving, forever home.

Bisco deserved better!

A veterinarian witnessed someone throwing this gorgeous boy out of a car behind a veterinary clinic. 

Fortunately, he was not injured, and he joined us at Nevada SPCA to find someone who will love and cherish him, and never discard him again. 

We named him Bisco and he is a Lynx Point Siamese with crossed blue eyes, and he is now about 18 months young and neutered. 

Bisco prefers to be the only cat, so please be sure to ask for Bisco by name when you visit.
