TRY TO DO THIS IN THIS NEW YEAR
1.
Spend More Time with Family & Friends
Recent polls conducted by General
Nutrition Centers, Quicken, and others shows that more than 50% of Americans
vow to appreciate loved ones and spend more time with family and friends this
year. Make plans to meet up with friends for an evening of comaraderie at a favorite Pittsburgh restaurant or take the family
to one of these popular Pittsburgh places for
family fun. Work shouldn't always come first!
2.
Fit in Fitness
The evidence is in for fitness.
Regular exercise has been associated with more health benefits than anything
else known to man. Studies show that it reduces the risk of some cancers,
increases longevity, helps achieve and maintain weight loss, enhances mood,
lowers blood pressure, and even improves arthritis. In short, exercise keeps
you healthy and makes you look and feel better. Why not make this the time to
start getting in shape for one of these popular
3.
Tame the Bulge
Over 66 percent of adult Americans
are considered overweight or obese by recent studies, so it is not surprising to
find that weight loss is one of the most popular New Year's resolutions.
Setting reasonable goals and staying focused are the two most important factors
in sticking with a weight loss program, and the key to success for those
millions of Americans who made a New Year's commitment to shed extra pounds.
4.
Quit Smoking
If you have resolved to make this
the year that you stamp out your smoking habit, over-the-counter availability
of nicotine replacement therapy now provides easier access to proven quit-smoking
aids. Even if you've tried to quit before and failed, don't let it get you
down. On average, smokers try about four times before they quit for good. Start
enjoying the rest of your smoke-free life! Even Allegheny County is trying to
go smoke-free, and it's taken them a few tries as well. Locally, there are a
variety of free support services, hotlines and smoking cessation classes to help
you kick the smoking habit.
5.
Enjoy Life More
Given the hectic, stressful
lifestyles of millions of Americans, it is no wonder that "enjoying life
more" has become a popular resolution in recent years. It's an important
step to a happier and healthier you! Consider one of Pittsburgh's holistic healing centers for products designed to
bring balance to your body, mind and soul. Or just get out and try something
new! Take up a new hobby or try your hand at skiing. Go to a theater
performance, or head to the local
spa. Pittsburgh offers a wealth of artistic and recreational
activities to meet just about anyone's wishes.
6.
Quit Drinking
While many people use the New Year
as an incentive to finally stop drinking, most are not equipped to make such a
drastic lifestyle change all at once. Many heavy drinkers fail to quit cold
turkey but do much better when they taper gradually, or even learn to moderate
their drinking. If you have decided that you want to stop drinking, there is a
world of help and support available. Pittsburgh Alcoholics Anonymous offers
meetings throughout the greater Pittsburgh area. There is also a Pittsburgh
group for Parents of Teenage Alcohol and Drug Abusers. There are also a number
of treatment-based programs, as well as support groups for families of
alcoholics.
7.
Get Out of Debt
Was money a big source of stress in
your life last year? Join the millions of Americans who have resolved to spend
this year getting a handle on their finances. It's a promise that will repay
itself many times over in the year ahead.
8.
Learn Something New
Have you vowed to make this year the
year to learn something new? Perhaps you are considering a career change, want
to learn a new language, or just how to fix your computer? Whether you take a
course or read a book, you'll find education to be one of the easiest, most
motivating New Year's resolutions to keep. The Community College of Allegheny
County offers a wide variety of "lifelong learning" courses, and
local YMCA's offer great recreational training for beginners of all ages. Most
local colleges and universities offer distance and adult education programs. Or
if the arts are more your thing, places such as the Carnegie Museum of Art and
the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts offer adult studio classes.
9.
Help Others
A popular, non-selfish New Year's
resolution, volunteerism can take many forms. Whether you choose to spend time
helping out at your local library, mentoring a child, or building a
house, there are many nonprofit volunteer organizations that could really use
your help. The Pittsburgh Cares organization makes it easy by connecting
volunteers with projects to fit practically any schedule. Or if your time is
really in short supply, maybe you can at least find it in you to donate the furniture, clothing and other
household items that you no longer need, rather than leaving them out by the curb
to fill up our landfills.
10.
Get Organized
On just about every New Year resolution top ten
list, organization can be a very reasonable goal. Whether you want your home
organized enough that you can invite someone over on a whim, or your office
organized enough that you can find the stapler when you need it, these tips and
resources should get you started on the way to a more organized life.
Pittsburgh has quite a few professional organizers who
can help you reduce the clutter in your life and find peace in your home. Professional
Pittsburgh organizer Patty Kreamer even
offers a a six-month But I Might Need it Somday!

Don 2 box office collection soars to Rs 540 million on first weekend
Shah Rukh Khan is a big success all over the world and has all that can be achieved in this materialistic age. What more does he need now? He has planty of award and planty of fame and dough in his accounts. Does he even need to make any effort to do anything now? Perhaps out of love for his millions of fans ready to swoon at the sight of him, he decides to do just another movie. Se we have Don 2 where we get to see SRK in all his natural glory.
And no, since the film is all about SRK, then why bother whether he acts well, or whether the plot, storyline, dialogues and acting of his co-actors is digestible or not? So, we are not bothered about any of those things. We are here to watch SRK pour over us fawning fans his charisma by bucketfulls. We are satiated and turn home declaring how great SRK is!
Farhan Akhtar, Ameet Mehta and Amrish Shah together wrote the script, just making sure that the new sequel has all the traits of looking like a sequel. They made sure and in doing so went overboard. They just took up the old script and made minor changes in it to make sure it can now be legally called a heist film.
The sequel starts off where it ended in the first. Don (Shah Rukh Khan) resurfaces in Malaysia and gets himself arrested so that he can get the convicted Vardhan (Boman Irani) out of jail. Vardhan has keys to a video footage which they use to blackmail a bank vice president (Alyy Khan) to get access to a German bank’s security systems.
In doing this much, Farhan Akhtar throws in some action sequence with Don’s one-man-army in Thailand, a convenient escape from Malaysian prison and some conventional car-chase sequences in Germany. Now that enough time has been spent in the exotic locales all across the globe to satiate the Akhtar, SRK goes on to take the plot forward between his charisma doses to the audience. In the second half hacker (Kunal Kapoor) suddenly appears who has hacked his way into the security systems of the vault and blueprints of the bank building to the minutest details. It is because as per cinematic law no 241, hackers are omniscient as they have access to everything.
Then we have the ladies.
In the end there is some climactic chemistry between Don and his rival, Roma (Priyanka Chopra), though they mercifully keep mushy scenes at bay from the movie. Don displays Bond kind of expertise in all things brainy or brawny. He is coupled with Lara Dutta as his moll, and her role is as inconsequentional as that of Esha Koppikar in the first one.
Boman Irani seems to be underused as the film is busy indulging SRK, and as SRK is busy obsessing over himself and his cheesy dialogues and wisecracks that fail to be wisecracks, being the same in the sequel. Kunal Kapoor plays a forgettable role. Om Puri, Alyy Khan and Nawab Shah are pathetic as they do not veer a iota beyond playing their functional roles. Sahil Shroff was even declared irritating by a reviewer!
The movie is all about the charm of SRK and does not bother with the good v/s evil battle.
The cinematography by Jason West’s cinematography is remarkable but Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy’s went dead on the creative front and so they decided to have theme-piece from the original as the background score throughout the flick.
There is still promise for more. As the number-plate of Don’s bike reads Don 3, people can be expected to react in two ways. If you are too frustrated with Don 2, you might cringe at the hint of a yet another painful sequel. If you are ready to give them another chance, you might hope Don 3 might salvage the lost respect of Don after all.
