Divorce seems to be the flavor of the season. Just five months after her marriage to Nepalese businessman Samrat Dahal, Manisha Koirala, the talented but quirky actress, made headlines again for the wrong reasons. It was speculated that the lady of Dil Se was heading to Splitville.

And again, media circles are in an uproar with former actress Karisma Kapoor, who is set to end her marriage to Delhi businessman Sanjay Kapur.

We go down memory lane and list the marriages that did not last …

Guru Dutt – Geeta Dutt

He was a cinematographic genius. She is a talented singer. He is an admirer of Bengali culture. She is Bengali by birth. It was natural for the two of them to fall in love and then get married. Marriage and two children later, the marriage hit a roadblock. Many say that Waheeda Rehman was the reason. Guru Dutt launched a dark southern beauty, Waheeda Rehman in Pyasa and the rest, they say is history. The director was completely in love with this delicate beauty … although, Waheeda maintains to this day, that amber was one-sided.

The one-sided romance, the box office flops (Kaagaz ke Phool and Pyaasa, both were his labor of love), and the horrible lifestyle (drinking, smoking, and eccentric streak) led to his end and the end of his married life. At the time of his death, he was separated from his wife Geeta Dutt and Waheeda Rehman had become estranged from him.

Vinod Khanna – Geetanjali

Vinod Khaana is one of the most handsome men Hindu films have ever known: dark, tall, broad-shouldered, and strong. Although he started out as a villain in the movies, the producers and directors soon realized that he was acting material. In fact, competing against Amitabh Bachchan for much of his career, he was a critical favorite as much as the masses adored Bachchan.

In the early 1970s, even as he was still establishing his career, Khaana married his college sweetheart Geetanjali and within two years the two were proud parents of two boys, Rahul and Akshaye. But sometime around 1975, Khanna became a disciple of acharya Rajneesh and then in the early 1980s, he moved to Rajneeshpuram in the US for four years washing dishes and working as an Osho gardener.

Although he was in contact with his family by phone from the US, the separation affected his beautiful wife and resulted in a divorce. Vinod is now married to Kavita Khanna, a lawyer by profession and has a son and a daughter.

Zeenat Aman – Mazhar Khan

There is something about beautiful, intelligent and super sexy women, particularly from the 70s era. Zeenat Aman was something of a standard-bearer for this brigade. She had a beautiful body that she never shied away from showing off. She had a mind of her own and never thought to let her know. Sadly, she was always attracted to handsome and famous men and never ever able to respect a woman for being an independent person.

Zeenat dated (and married) Sanjay Khan and was publicly abused by Sanjay and his first wife, Zarine Khan at a hotel in Mumbai. The lady was also rumored to have had a roar with Pakistani cricketer Imran Khan, but nothing concrete actually came out. In the early 1980s, Zeenat finally settled down with small-time actor Mazhar Khan, by whom he has two children.

But this marriage was also very stressed, as Mazhar and his family had beaten Zeenat at his home. Zeenat claimed that his eldest son, who had been brainwashed by his in-laws, joined the beating session.

The marriage ended with Mazhar Khan dying of alcohol in 1998.

Dimple Kapadia – Rajesh Khanna

He really was the only superstar the country has ever known. Rajesh Khanna broke many hearts when he married ‘beauty Bobby’ Dimple Kapadia. They couldn’t have been better matched: she, a 16-year-old girl with wonderful eyes, tasting success for the first time in her life, and he a superstar eager to establish herself.

Not many know the exact reason the two broke up. The speculations concern Rajesh Khanna’s sudden fall from stardom. A series of racing failures had a major role to play in the separation of the two.

Although they did not actually divorce, the separation did occur. In time, the bitterness is gone. Today, they are the proud parents of Twinkle Khanna (married to superstar Akshay Kumar) and Rinke Khanaa (married to Samit Saran).

Rekha – Mukesh Agarwal

Sometimes one love is the only love. That could very well be said of the perennial Rekha. Born as Bhanupriya Ganesan, illegitimate daughter of southern matinee idol Shivaji Ganesan, when Rekha made an entry in Hindi movies, she was a nasty-looking ulgy paw, though star power was still there to be seen. Over time, it metamorphosed into a beautiful dark beauty like a swan. Many insist that it was after she came into contact with a Mr. Bachchan.

Reams of paper have been printed speculating the exact twist and turns of this triangle. If the palpable passion of his films is to be believed, the chemistry between the two was electrifying. But the marriage was not going to be like this.

Rekha was rumored to have married Vinod Mehra, but that was speculation. She definitely married businessman Mukesh Aggarwal, but the marriage just didn’t work out for Rekha and her husband, completely disappointed, hanged himself to death.

Randhir Kapoor – Babita

He was the scion of Kapoor khandan and she was a future actress. Randhir Kapoor and Babita made several movies together before deciding to get married. It is said that the first years were rosy, but soon tensions began to appear. It is speculated that Babita, first cousin of the famous actress Sadhna, could not cope with the super stardom of the Kapoors and left the marriage with her two daughters in tow. Although Randhir Kapoor and Babita never divorced, they did not stay together either.

Rakhee – Gulzar

She was a fragile Bengali beauty like no one had ever seen her. He was a talented lyricist and director whom Bollywood would not see for a long, long time. Love flourished, but the marriage could not be sustained. He was known to be violent while she was a bit neurotic, according to reports.

Reena Roy – Mohsin Khan

The ’70s star Reena Roy was absolutely in love with Pakistani cricketer Mohsin Khan. So was her elegant cricketer lover who would fly to London, especially to meet her. The two married in 1983 only to soon part ways. It was a painful divorce that saw Mohsin gain custody of his daughter. Much later, when Mohsin remarried, he gave up claiming his daughter. Today, Reena Roy lives in Mumbai with her daughter, now renamed Sanam.

Sanjay Dutt by Rhea Pillai

Sanjay Dutt was the last casanova of Bollywood dating actresses like Tina Munim, star Richa Sharma, Madhuri Dixit, Lisa Ray, Rhea Pillai, Nadia Durrani (based in London) and eventually settled down with Manyata.

Rumor has it that while Sanju Baba had a maddening affair with Madhuri, he actually married three women: first his wife Richa Sharma, who died early in their marriage; then Rhea Pillai, who stood by his side during his crazy days in jail. Sadly, it was a love that couldn’t see a bright future. While adversity brought them closer together, the good times couldn’t keep them together. While nothing really went wrong, so to speak, they just walked away …

The marriage ended in 2005. Sanjay is now married to Manyataa.

Saif – Amrita

Here was another star couple who just couldn’t put it on. When the two met in 1991, Amrita was a successful actress and had just started. But love flourished and the marriage of the obvious result. But the marriage was not easy. Saif’s parents did not approve of the match; so the two were secretly married. Of course, the parents came later. What’s even surprising is that the two remained married for almost 13 years, having two children, Sara and Ibrahim together. But the stormy relationship had to happen when a decision had to be made.

It would be safe to assume that Amrita got caught up in a happy marriage (or read mundane) while Saif was slowly recovering and found the relationship ranged from boring to suffocating. In time, Saif’s name would join pretty faces like Riya Sen, Smriti Mishra, and Preity Zinta. Things completely changed when Saif puts Roza on.

Soon, it was Splitville for the two of them when they finally divorced in 2004.

Nandita Das – Saumya Sen

The feisty and courageous actress has now seen two divorces, although the second is the most talked about. Saumya Sen, an advertising executive, married Nandita in 2002 and they remained married for seven years. But in 2009, Nandita ended the marriage citing irreconcilable differences.

However, she has recovered and is now married for the third time, this time to environmental entrepreneur Subodh Maskara and has a four-month-old son with him named Vihaan.

Likewise, Hollywood has seen its own list of failed marriages: Eva Parker-Tony Parker;

Sandra Bullock – Jesse James; Jennifer Aniston, Brad Pitt; Kate Winslet, Sam Mendes;

Britney Spears, Kevin Federline; Imran Khan – Jemima Goldsmith and Rihanna – Chris Brown.

Nevada’s Goldfield Hotel is said to be a portal to the other side

After gold was discovered on nearby Columbia Mountain in 1902, the town of Goldfield, NV ranked as one of the largest and brightest mining cities in the west. In its boom year of 1906, the city’s mines produced $ 11 million in gold. A year later, in 1907, the mines generated about $ 10,000.00 per day.

The four-story, 154-room, earthquake-proof Goldfield Hotel was built on top of an abandoned gold mine in 1908 for $ 500,000.00. As the best lodging between Denver and San Francisco, the hotel was known as “The Jewel of the Desert.”

When it opened in 1908, the hotel featured an Otis elevator, then considered the most modern elevator of its kind west of the Mississippi. The crystal chandeliers of the Goldfield Hotel, the elegant lobby with mahogany trim with black leather upholstery, gold leaf ceilings and gilded columns rivaled the best hotels in San Francisco.

At a time when few homes or businesses had telephones or carpets, the extravagant hotel featured a sophisticated switchboard and a telephone in every room. The meals were “exquisite European cuisine”, with oysters, quail and squid. Customers came to dinner dressed in formal wear: black ties, tails, and ball gowns.

Once the largest city in Nevada, Goldfield was connected to the rest of the United States by five railroads and with the Goldfield mines producing more than $ 10,000.00 a day at their peak, all five city banks prospered. Goldfield even had several mining stock exchanges and three newspapers. As the city flourished, its leaders were considering bringing a streetcar to tour the city center.

But, when the mines dried up, the city lost its charm and the once splendid Goldfield Hotel ceased operation in the 1920s. During World War II, the military took over and added some upgrades including a grill to house Army and Air Force wives whose husbands were stationed and training in the remote wilderness nearby.

At the end of the war, the Goldfield Hotel was again abandoned and bricked up. Then, in the 1980s, a wealthy new owner began investing millions of dollars in modernizing the hotel. His dream of opening the ancient “Gem in the Desert” in all its original splendor was shattered before its completion. Lost property to support property taxes. Vandals took most of the newly installed bathrooms and light fixtures, eventually taking all but the bare walls.

Today, the City of Goldfield is home to fewer than 300 residents, although it remains the county seat of Esmeralda County, which with fewer than 1,000 residents is the most sparsely populated county in Nevada. There is no gas station, no bank, no grocery store, much less a newspaper, a long way from when the city was known as the “Queen of the Fields” by its more than 25,000 inhabitants.

The desolate Elizabeth pursues

With its glorious past, the unfortunate hotel remains the most prominent symbol of Goldfield’s former glory. But what contributes to its ghostly mood is the fact that much of the luxurious original woodwork has been destroyed by vandals. All the old items that today’s gold diggers have removed and sold over the years.

Before the hotel was privately purchased at a back-tax auction in August 2003, the Goldfield Historical Society opened the hotel for special “ghost” tours several times a year. Rising to fame as one of the “scariest places on Earth” when the Fox network filmed a Halloween episode of the same name that aired in October 2001.

During filming, team members observed a ghostly presence in the hallways. Feeling uneasy, a crew member left, refusing to go back inside. Later on, orbs (hazy objects like ghosts) were seen in several of the photographs taken inside, including my own photographs.

Since about 1910, room 109 has been considered haunted. Legend has it that this room is haunted by a prostitute named Elizabeth, who while pregnant was chained to the room’s radiator by the hotel’s original owner, George Winfield.

Winfield was so angry when he found out that Elizabeth was pregnant; denied him the freedom to leave. Once her son was born, they ripped him from her arms and discarded him. Thrown into the pretty abandoned gold mine on which the hotel was built.

With the elimination of Elizabeth’s son, Winfield let the young woman die and for days cried out for mercy. The rescue never came, she was found alone and abandoned. Fearing Winfield’s authority, hotel employees were afraid to come to Elizabeth’s rescue and hotel guests were unable to hear her due to the insulation of the room and the thickness of the walls.

Psychics who have visited room 109 say that Elizabeth was either left to die there or killed shortly after. His spirit is trapped within the modest room that overlooks the hotel’s brick side wall. On dark and desolate nights, passersby and nearby residents hear the baby cry.

On the first floor, George Winfield’s presence has been felt near the lobby staircase. People inspecting the hotel have periodically found the smell of cigarette smoke and ash, and an electrical worker once discovered fresh ash inside a fuse box that had not been opened in more than 50 years. The ghost hunters on the third floor have also detected a lot of psychic energy.

Many of those who enter room 109 find it colder than the other rooms and feel a presence in the room. The age discoloration on the wall where the radiator is located appears to have the outline of a human shape. Cameras are known to malfunction while inside this room.

Other ghosts have reportedly been observed in the corridors and on the lobby stairs. Doors sometimes slam shut and mysterious odors linger. Clairvoyants who have come to examine the building say that the Goldfield Hotel is located between several portals or gateways to the other world.

During the annual Esmeralda County land auction in August 2003, the Goldfield Hotel sold for $ 360,000. The new owner was said to have plans to renovate the lower two floors of the four-story hotel and open them to the public. To date, the hotel remains empty and embarked.

Goldfield is located on the corridor between Las Vegas and Reno, Nevada, on US Highway 95.

Business

Baker’s dozen common payroll mistakes

We all make mistakes, but on the payroll it seems like there are a lot of mistakes to make. Below is a list of 13 of the most common payroll errors I’ve seen and I’ve compiled them into a single list. I hope they are useful to you and can help you improve your own payroll system for your business!

First, don’t back up your system. Since the person who manages your payroll is likely a person, you can be sure that you will not be able to work every day. Make sure you have some means to keep running your payroll program without them. You also need to have a manual means of recording payroll in the event of a technology malfunction.

Second, do not issue 1099 forms. When hiring an independent vendor or contractor, it is important to remember that if you pay more than $ 600 for your services, you must file a 1099. Severe penalties are subject to anyone who fails to provide this form as it is an integral part of your external tax and employment records.

Then misclassify employees. Ensuring your employees are classified correctly is imperative not only for keeping good tax records, but different types of employees are subject to different pay and / or benefit packages. Make sure you comply with all state and federal laws regarding how your employees are classified and structured within your business.

Incorrectly labeled freelance contract workers is another mistake. Labeling all of your employees as contract freelancers is not a good way to avoid giving them compensation. Employment status is also closely watched by the IRS, and mislabeling employees is a good way to get audited and can have a huge impact on your worker’s income taxes and withholding tax.

Choose Exempt or Not Exempt. Employees classified as exempt are not required to accrue overtime. Simply putting an employee on a salary does NOT exempt him from overtime. Classifying an employee’s status requires familiarity with federal and state laws, and it may be different for different jobs.

Excluding travel and travel expenses of employees. As a general rule, increased travel and travel expenses are not considered taxable income for a subordinate. However, if said employee is traveling to a place of employment that is not in his permanent residence, his travel and commuting benefits must be provided.

Miscalculating unemployment for state taxes is a very common mistake. Being late or miscalculating your state unemployment taxes can cost your business your unemployment tax credit, which can be as high as 5.4%. You can also face a lawsuit if notice is not provided for employees who have been laid off from their unemployment benefits.

Incorrect recording of overtime can be fatal. There are state and federal regulations on overtime pay. It is not limited to 1.5 times the employee’s hourly wage and can take even more calculations to be precise.

Security for employee paychecks against scammers. Technology has helped companies large and small to be more self-sufficient and have more advanced tools for their activities. This same technology is also being used to trick you in some situations. Check fraud is very real, and you need to ensure that your business is protected by watermarks or any other type of paper security method. Due to this fact, more companies pay their employees through direct deposit, which completely avoids the paper fraud method.

Mishandling employee debts to wages can be crippling. It is vital to withhold any type of wage garnishment, taxes, child support, or any other court-ordered paycheck withdrawals. Be sure to confirm with the state ordering the payment that you are deducting the employee’s check correctly.

The lack or acquisition of unsatisfactory records and data is deadly for your business. Almost 2% of all total payroll costs are due to record keeping errors. The Internal Revenue Service requires you to keep at least four years of records, and some states require an even longer file.

Remember not to correctly record taxable items. Federal tax laws require you to consider awards and fringe benefits subject to income and employment tax withholding. Gift cards are considered cash and should never be excluded from taxable wages.

And finally, not meeting tax schedules: Depending on how late a business is filing its taxes, it may be subject to late deposit penalties and interest rates. Depending on how late your tax payments are, the range can vary from 2% to 20%.

Scratch off security label manufacturer testing

When shopping for scratch-off security labels, make sure your label manufacturer tests their labels to ensure that you are receiving only the highest quality products. If you find that your label manufacturer does not test your labels before shipping them to you, here is a list of 11 quality control tests you can perform before running your labels on your machine.

Coin scratch test – Clean and easy to scratch with coins The labels have the right softness or hardness to scratch and scratch cleanly when using a coin.
Finger scratch test – Clean and easy to scratch with the fingernail Labels have the appropriate softness or hardness of scratching and scratching cleanly when using a fingernail.
Cleaning test – No unwanted scratches There are no unwanted scratches when standard cards are cleaned on the labels.
Cytology – No stained labels are applied properly by the end user UV coating to protect against any stained labels when rubbed with the finger.
Rub test – Production labels will not smudge Labels will not smudge when the standard card is rubbed 50 times over the surface at 2 lbs. pressure by machine. This protects against smudging when cards rub against each other during production.
Opacity test – Maximum security All ink layers are present and light does not penetrate the label in any area when tested with a class III laser.
Application test – No torn labels An employee can easily remove the labels from the liner without tearing at the security cuts.
Exemption proof – Efficient production Labels are run on machines to ensure they separate from the liner when the liner is removed.
Die staining test – The coating does not break. The dies (security grooves) do not penetrate the liner, creating weak points.
Oven test – Long useful life of the product. Labels scratch properly when aged in an oven for 3 days, 6 months and “indefinitely”.
Strobe light test – Visually appealing, each and every label is run on rewinding machines and viewed with a strobe light to ensure all labels are centered and have a sharp top copy, and no missing labels.

If the security scratch-off label manufacturer doesn’t perform these tests to ensure their labels meet the highest standards, then you could be wasting time and money when running labels on your machine. If you are looking to save production time when processing your labels, consider using the Fusion series label roll which allows you to fit up to 80,000 scratch-off labels on a single roll

Chicago style pizza is a deep dish style of pizza developed in Chicago. The term also sometimes refers to “stuffed” pizza, another Chicago style. True Chicago-style pizza features a buttery crust with generous amounts of cheese and chunky tomato sauce. If and when you’re in Chicago, be sure to check out these deep dish establishments:

I have seen incredible works of art that try to imagine this impressive place, but I have the feeling that no one has any idea how magnificent it really was.

Do you think aerobics have to be boring? No Longer: Wii Fit to the Rescue

If you are like me, then you will find running on a treadmill or riding a stationary bike excruciatingly boring. Due to this “boredom” factor, I have rarely been able to keep up with aerobics for long. Aerobics classes like cardio kick boxing can be more fun, but they have one big downside: I have to drive to the gym to do them! That’s a lot of wasted overtime that I can’t waste.

Aerobic exercise is an important part of anyone’s healthy lifestyle, whether someone is trying to lose weight or not. But it’s something that most of us struggle to fit into our lives. Partly due to lack of time to go to the gym and partly simply because we think aerobics are so boring. We think of it as something to fear. So we think of any excuse we can for not doing it.

But thanks to Nintendo that is no longer the case. Who would have thought that a video game company would be the catalyst to make aerobics really enjoyable? It’s a surprising turn of events, but it’s completely true. The only thing that has led me to do aerobics every day now is my new Wii Fit game (which I got for Christmas). Includes strength training, yoga, balance games, and aerobics. I use them all to some extent, but it’s the aerobics part that I end up using the most. I’m a big fan of “boxing rhythm,” which is a really good workout (it makes me sweat like I used to do my cardio kickboxing class) and it’s also a lot of fun. It keeps score so you have a goal each time you play to beat your best score (or if you have other friends and family who use it too, you can beat their score! That’s even more fun).

Another great thing about Wii Fit is that it tracks your weight loss (tracks your weight and your BMI), which is great if you are trying to lose weight because it keeps you focused and holds you accountable. I honestly think this is a bargain at the price they’re selling it for because it’s better than a gym membership in my opinion and obviously a lot cheaper than that.

Weight loss and carbohydrate cravings

One of the most common complaints I hear from weight loss clients is that they are experiencing carbohydrate cravings, so I thought it would be helpful to give you a very brief explanation of some of the reasons this could be happening and suggest a few. ways to deal with them.

My first step is to make sure that you are eating enough food overall. It’s counterintuitive, but not eating enough can stop weight loss as well. You’d be surprised how common it is that people don’t eat enough and can’t understand why they’re struggling with fatigue and not losing weight.

The next thing to do is make sure you are eating balanced meals that include adequate protein, healthy fats, and fiber from non-starchy vegetables that will keep you full and satisfied and also stabilize your blood sugar. Of course, if you have other underlying health problems, you should try to address them with your doctor.

We often reach for a simple carbohydrate like a cookie, candy, or crackers when we start to get hungry or need a quick energy boost. This is where being well prepared with a better alternative will pay you huge dividends. Keep hard-boiled eggs ready to eat in the refrigerator. A small handful of dried fruit like almonds, walnuts, pecans, or pistachios is a great alternative, rich in protein and healthy fats that will fill the bill up nicely without fueling that carb craving.

Sometimes protein just isn’t enough and you want something sweet. Choosing a low-sugar fruit like berries or Granny Smith apples is a great option. Choosing a healthier carb option is also a good strategy. I’ve always liked making healthier substitutions. Keeping roasted vegetables that are well seasoned can stop the carb craving in its tracks. Roasted sweet potatoes seasoned with Himalayan crystal salt, Ceylon pepper and cinnamon are a very comforting, satisfying and much healthier option. So are cauliflower, broccoli, or roasted pumpkin. Beans and vegetables are also a good substitute for simple carbohydrates. Roasted, seasoned chickpeas are another quick snack you can whip up and enjoy every now and then, providing protein, fiber, and crunch.

The point is to substitute a higher quality carbohydrate or replace it with a healthy protein.

It is also important to realize that if you have been consuming simple carbohydrates on a regular basis, it will take some time for you to break that addiction. Don’t overlook the emotional component. Often times when a carbohydrate craving strikes, you are in the midst of a strong emotional reaction. Try to stop and analyze what is happening mentally and emotionally before giving in to desire. It is quite possible that you are just looking for comfort and there are better and more effective ways to get it than eating simple carbohydrates.

This is exactly why the Today Remains the Day plan addresses issues of the spirit and soul and not just physical nutrition and detoxification. You need to pay attention to your mental, emotional and spiritual condition and take them into account when dealing with weight loss and general health.

Guided Spirit Images

Grieving the death of a loved one is the most difficult and challenging part of anyone’s life. Everyone, at some point in their life, will experience and have to cope with the loss caused by the death of a loved one.

The death of a loved one results in symptoms of grief. Symptoms affect all aspects of the body, mind, and spirit. These symptoms include loss of appetite, difficulty concentrating, insomnia, development of stress-related illnesses, guilt, frustration, anger, depression, withdrawal, and disconnection from others.

Many people have looked forward to the opportunity to meet and interact with a deceased loved one. Guided spiritual imagery can provide this hope. People traditionally believe that death is final and that a person can no longer interact with a deceased loved one. However, the guided spiritual imagery process works differently than the traditional belief system. It addresses the survival of consciousness after physical death. It allows a person to contact a deceased loved one on a different level of consciousness.

At that level, a person can communicate and interact with a deceased loved one. This profound event affects and changes all aspects of a person’s body, mind, and spirit. As a result, symptoms of distress are reduced and a person can recover more quickly from pain.

The induction process begins with body work and is followed by guided relaxation and imagery. When the state of relaxation between alpha and theta is reached, a person is guided to meet the spiritual image of a deceased loved one. It follows the communication and interaction between a person and a deceased loved one, bringing out emotional releases and ending symptoms of suffering.

Guided Spirit Imagery complements grievance advisory and support groups and is a complementary technique. It is not a substitute for medical or psychiatric treatment. Guided spiritual imagery is not appropriate for complicated grief situations, specific mental health illnesses, or traditional belief systems. These people should be referred to an appropriate healthcare provider.

The facilitator leading the session should be experienced in dealing with grief, conducting a guided imagery session, and using the 14 purge pressure points or other bodywork techniques. Proper application of this knowledge and techniques by the facilitator helps reduce stress and anxiety and further promotes relaxation of the mind and body. A facilitator should have an available list of reference resources for counseling and support groups.

In short, Guided Spirit Imagery enables a person to interact with a deceased loved one. Provides bonds and opportunities for interaction between a person and a deceased loved one. Help a grieving person reduce symptoms of distress and move on with life.
