Thank you Janine Mischor.

hjmsuuThe year was 2000 when Janine Mischor created the original fanlisting for her favorite show Buffy the Vampire Slayr in order to see how many people also enjoyed the show and as a way of collecting the fans from around the world.

This is the beginning of fan sites that exists for thousands of movie stars, TV artists, sports personalities and even some political activists. Certainly Janine deserves full credit and gratitude by every fan site members all over the world.

Every country in the world has fan sites dedicated to their heroes and heroines.
Americal must top in the list obviously due to the fact that Holywood is the biggest movie world.

Of the many fan sites in U.S., the Disney Channel Stars command the largest followers mainly because they are dominated by youth. In fact fan sites created to feature Disney Channel Stars attract maximum teenagers.

True, there are individual web sites created for celebrities like Hillary Duff, Miles Cyrus, Alyson Michalka and so on.

But Disney Channel Stars is one place that has information on stars Zac Efron,
Raven Symone, Alyson Michalka, Ricky Ullman, Vanessa Anne Hudgens,
Christy Carlson Romano, Brenda Song, Cole Sprouse, Dylan Sprouse, Ashley Tisdale,
Hilary Duff and Miley Cyrus.


Do you know that Brenda Song played ‘London Tipton’ in the Disney Channel Original Series The Suite Life of Zack and Cody? She plays the role of a shallow heiress living in one of her father's hotels as a spoof of Paris Hilton.



<---- Brenda Song




Do you know that Newsweek, director Adam Shankman described Zachary David Alexander Efron as "arguably the biggest teen star in America right now"?
Do you know that Raven-Symone literally grew up in front of the cameras and made her COSBY SHOW debut when she was three years old?


Surely the exact tidbits the youth loves always.

So who is your favorite Disney Channel Star?

I don't know what I love you for..

Love doesn’t require a reason-right?
Because
“Love just is... whatever it may be
Love just is... you and me
Nothing less and nothing more
I don't know what I love you for... love just is”

Those were a few lines from one of Hillary Duff’s album named ‘Love just is’.

To me that is the most spiritual line like ‘God is’ which means there is only God in this Universe and nothing else is.

This beautiful looking girl Hillary Duff, just 23 years old but look at her enviable accomplishments already; in the year 2002 she released 11 albums followed by 13 and 14 albums in 2003 and 2004 respectively.

Born in Houston, Texas, she dared to become an actress at the age of six.
Her first starring role was as Ellie in "The Soul Collector", for which she won a "Best Performance in a TV Movie or Pilot (Supporting Young Actress)"

Every young and aspiring artist’s dream came true when Hillary Duff filmed a Disney Channel movie "Cadet Kelly" in the summer of 2001. She went on to act in several films.

An amusing but a rare past time that is being pursued by Hillary is tae-bo, a form of exercise similar to karate punches and kicks but not intended for self defense.

This talented young star will be heard from for many years to come.

Great feast for your eyes in this new village.

I don’t know why but the word ‘Village’ when followed by another word sounds somewhat sophisticated. But almost anyone’s curiosity is kindled when they read ‘Food Village’, ‘Cultural Village’, ‘Art Village’, ‘Handicrafts Village’, and ‘International Village’ and so on.

So what one would expect to find in such niche villages is a congregation of that activity or products that is relevant to the word that precedes ‘Village’.

For example, there is a place called ‘Auroville’ near my city Madras in India founded by the Aurobindo ashram. In this international village, citizens of various countries are allowed to settle down.

I had to search the internet to meet out my son’s request for some new computer wallpapers; the ever dependable Google directed me promptly to a ‘Wallpaper Village,’ where upon entering, I stopped dead in my tracks.

True to its name, this wallpaper village has in its display, literally thousands of gorgeous looking wallpapers in myriad categories such as 3D, Airplanes, Animals, Anime/Comics, Beach, Cartoons, Celebrities and oh, the list is huge to write it all here.

I liked the ‘Earth’ shown below.









If you like a particular wallpaper and want to share it with your friend, you can do so very easily from their website. User also can rate any wallpaper.

Apart from the huge list of categories, one can also search for any kind of wallpaper alphabetically.

This site attracts 46,000 page views per day. A great one stop place for your wallpapers.

Would you like to be voted as the Best Dressed woman?

Then you need to see all the photographs of Jennifer Aniston, the actress who came top of US People magazine for her natural style. Jennifer Aniston has been voted the Best Dressed woman of 2006.

Also the actress came top of US People magazine for her natural style.
Given the human’s trend to emulate celebrities within their limitations, I predict more visitors to Jennifer’s fan site to find out what she is really like?

For Brodway frequenters, it might be interesting to note that Jennifer Aniston will join reportedly 23 other stars including Rosie Perez, Lili Taylor, and SNL's Rachel Dratch on Brodway. Aniston will be among those writing, directing, and acting in six 10-minute plays in less than 24 hours, according to reports.

I was truly touched when I read that proceeds from the event benefit Working Playground, a non-profit cultural organization that uses the arts to educate, inspire and enrich the lives of youth in over 40 underserved New York City schools.

For those who hear about Working Playground for the first time, it is a highly respected institution that has been highlighted by The New York Times, New York Magazine, Variety, Time Magazine, Time Out, NBC News, CBS This Morning, People Magazine, US Magazine and New York Post.

Jennifer Aniston was born on February 11, 1969 in Sherman Oaks. At 11, Aniston joined the Rudolf Steiner School's drama club. Aniston was accepted to New York's High School For The Performing Arts. Aniston won roles in the Off-Broadway productions of For Dear Life at New York's Public Theater and Dancing On Checkers Grave.

I am sure you may remember seeing her in movies such as ‘Good Girl, The (2002)’, ’Time of our Lives (2000)’, ‘Waiting for Woody (1998)’ etc.Visit her fan site for her complete profile and career.

Meet the musical sisters of Michalka family.

These ravishing looking sisters are Aly and AJ who have become the heart throb of millions of music lovers world wide.

When someone who became passionate about music and acting at the age of five, what do you call them? Simply genius!

It requires meticulous nurturing of the love to turn it to an enviable skill.

It was said that music and acting ran in the blood of the Michalka family.

Aly went to church to attend the Childrens' Performing Arts group at five and she was 11 years old when she began working as a print model, and started studying acting even more.

Now at just the tender age of 15 she is a professional singer/songwriter, and actress.

Aly is a real virtuoso in the true sense because when she is not busy acting, singing, writing, or performing she loves to dance, horseback ride, read, hang out with her family, and her pets.

Her sister Amanda Michalka (fondly known as A.J.) took after her older sister and began in the acting business at the age of nine.

Since then she has been guest staring on many shows, including one's on CBS, FOX, HBO, ABC, the WB, and NBC.

Her "big role" was one on the CBS show "The Gaurdian" in which A.J. played Shannon. She is also into modeling and music. Previously, A.J. had worked as a successful model, modeling in many different Nation-wide Magazines, Store Posters, and Merchandising.

Alongside her sister Aly, the two have formed a duo, "Aly & A.J.", in which are already known nationally, appearing on MTV, VH1, and Disney. They've recorded their first CD as a duo which comes out late 2006.

You can watch Alyson Michalka every week as Keely on Disney's Phil of the Future.

I happen to hear their song “Something More” and I give below a few sentences of that song.
"I didn't know what was in store.
When I walked right through the door.
Then I saw you over there, our blue eyes locked in a stare.
I didn't know quite what to say, sometimes words get in the way".

It is obvious that like their voice and acting, Aly and AJ Lyrics also have heart and spirit in them.

Create custom icons and dollz.

I remember my predicament when I first stumbled on to the term ‘Avatar’ in one of ‘work from home’ forums way back in 1999.

Being in India, the word ‘Avatar’ has sacred implications for me but I was totally bemused when I was asked to create my avatar in that forum. It took some months for me to understand that it is used as the forum user’s representation. (smile)

As used for a computer representation of a user, the term dates at least as far back as 1985, when it was used as the name for the player character in the Ultima series of computer games’

The Ultima games started out in 1981, but it was in Ultima IV (1985), that the term "avatar" was introduced. To become the "avatar" was the goal of Ultima IV. The later games assumed that you were the avatar and "avatar" was the player's visual on-screen in-game persona.

The use of Avatar to mean online virtual bodies was popularised by Neal Stephenson in his cyberpunk novel Snow Crash. In Snow Crash, the term Avatar was used to describe the virtual simulation of the human form in the Metaverse, a virtual-reality version of the Internet.

Internet forums were the first to use them for the purpose of representing users and their actions, personalizing their contributions to the forum, and may represent different parts of their persona or social status in the forum.

Though internet forums have several ready made avatars, for creative minded persons, Aim-dollz.com is a literally a virtual studio. One can create hundreds of thousands of Cartoon Dolls to be used in their web sites, blogs and in their chat windows.

With their avatar and icon maker tool, one create beautiful AIM DOLLS, African Dollz, Asian Dollz , Blonde Dollz , Brunette Dollz , Celebrity Dollz , MSN DOLLS , Cheerleader Dollz, Doll Icons and the list goes on to a big one.

After you make your desired dolls, AIM-Dollz.com will store your graphic and provide the HTML Codes for easy use on your website, MySpace or Xanga profiles.

Not only icons but one can create glittering texts in various fonts sizes with different colour combinations by using their ‘Glittermaker’ tool.

Above all, if you feel you have created a unique doll or icon, you can submit to them to be featured in their web site with credit given to you.

The two dollz below are made by someone like you. Go, put your creativity in to use and have fun.

5.4 million Viewers are cheering the ‘Miles Bud’.

<---- Miley Cyrus







That is a splendid record for a 14 year old beauty.

The photo you see above is sweet Miley Cyrus, a 14 year old eighth grader making waves (tsunami?) across America.

I don’t think a need arises for me to introduce you to Miley Cyrus (who plays Hannah Montana) , as she is already a girl in millions of houses in America.

But for the unfortunate music lovers who might have missed her when she performed a Hannah Montana concert on June 22, 2006 at Disney's Typhoon Lagoon in Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, here is some information:

*Miley Cyrus is the star in Disney Channel's new live action comedy Hanna Montana. She plays Miley Stewart, a 14 years old girl leading a double life as pop singer Hannah Montana.

*On October 3, 2006, Walt Disney Records released a soundtrack to the Disney Channel Original Series Hannah Montana.

*Hannah Montana is an American children's television series which debuted on Friday, March 24, 2006. The show is co-created by Michael Poryes, who also co-created another Disney Channel Original Series.

*The president of Disney Channel Entertainment has acclaimed her as "beyond our wildest expectations”.

*Cyrus has also signed on for a record deal for four albums at Hollywood Records.

*Her musical influences are pos singers Kelly Clarkson, Hillary Duff and Ashley Simpson. In addition, she enjoys dancing and cheerleading - ESPN continues to rebroadcast competitions which features her Tennessee Premiere Cheerleading squad.

This website has a lively Miley Cyrus Forum too for the benefit of her fans who can interact with other 452 registered fans and share their adoration.

What Google looks at your website?

Google looks at a websites on-site factors and off-site factors to determine how the website should rank in their results.

Yes, I am a mathematician, but even for me, deciphering the Google’s algorithm is quite complex for me.

But then I have come to a conclusion that it is not really necessary to understand to gain link popularity thanks to some excellent tips from USWeb.

Just let these valid points sink in to you:
Google really looks for now are links pointing to your website from many different sources on the internet.

1000 links from different websites with low levels of Page Rank work better in increasing your rankings within the organic results of Google.

Google looks at where the link is placed on the website and gives more value when the link is within textual content as opposed to sitting at the bottom of the page in a list of links.

Google also looks at the text that surrounds the link and determines how targeted that text is compared to the page that the link points to.

Now don’t you think it is very clear that it is important to increase link popularity by receiving links on different pages of different websites that have content that is similar to the content on your website?

This is the natural way that popular websites remain popular and rank well in the search engines.

Blogitive has proven to be extremely effective in increasing link popularity and is also very cost effective.

How Google Determines Search Results.

I feel like I am the legendry Mohammed Gajini whose 17 attempts to plunder the wealth of India met repeated failures.

I am sailing along in the same boat with million others who are trying decipher Google's algorithm so that they can submit their blue print for ways to get into the top serach results.

So in the process, here is another blog that I bookmarked to come back later to read more about what Mr. Michael Martinez is going to teach me new.

The blogger says that his blog is "an unofficial, unaffiliated source of comment and opinion on statements from Google, Google employees, and Google representatives. In no way is this site owned by, operated by, or representative of Google, Google's point of view, policies, or statements".

Well, taken notice of this fair warning.

Ok, now about the title of this blog post: "How Google Determines Search Results"
Please read this observation of Mr. Michael Martinez.
"in order to present and score" results for a query, Google picks pages that "include the user's query somewhere" and then ranks "the matching pages in order of relevance".

To me, this is a new angle. What about you?

Thank you Martinez.

Do you need an air purifier in your home?

According to the US EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), air pollution indoors is one of the top 5 risks to public health. Some of the causes of poor air include household dust, pet dander, pollen, smoke (tobacco), chemical fumes and gases. Using an air cleaner is an important technique to improve the air quality of your home or office.

Our modern homes and offices are much more airtight than every before. The result is that indoor pollution levels can rise to anywhere from 2 to 5 times the level of outdoors. Since we are spending more and more time indoors these days, having some sort of air cleaning system is becoming more and more important.

Something is happening in the medical world.

May be the third world should take immediate note of this revolution that is taking place in America.

Epocrates San Mateo, CA-based Epocrates is transforming the practice of medicine by providing innovative clinical solutions at the point of care and deploying leading-edge technologies that enable communication.

Well, why not? After all, when the entire world is sourcing information from atomic energy to spiritual energy, why the clinicians should be deprived of valuable and time sensitive information.

Epocrates Online provides clinicians with access to critical information about more than 3,300 drugs, including dosing, pricing, potential drug interactions and Medicare Part D formulary coverage from any computer with an Internet connection.

For example, a physician might be looking for some dosage information on Ambien, the trade name of Zolpidem that is used for the short-term treatment of insomnia. He can quickly retrieve this information from Epocrates.

Epocrates products are designed by practicing physicians to deliver the most clinically useful and relevant information that healthcare professionals need at the point of care.

Listen to Jacob Wood, MD, assistant professor, UAB Selma Family Residency Program, “I have been using Epocrates products on my PDA for years and find them indispensable to my practice. I think it is wonderful that my colleagues and staff that don’t yet use a PDA can now access the same information online to help them improve patient care.

Healthcare professionals can quickly and easily obtain formulary status, drug coverage and alternative and generic drug options for their patients’ health plans with Epocrates Online.

Clinicians who want a more comprehensive web reference can subscribe to the Epocrates Online premium product.

Best online yoga resource.

“Yoga is not a religion. It has no fixed set of beliefs. At the heart of yoga’s philosophy is that everything comes from within the SELF. Yoga is a system of techniques that can be used for: managing stress, learning to relax, and increasing limberness all the way to becoming more self-aware and acquiring the deepest knowledge of one’s own self. Regular daily practice of all parts of yoga produce a clear, bright mind and a strong, capable body”.

Of several forms are yoga, the following are the most important ones.

Raja Yoga:

Jnana Yoga:

Bhakti Yoga:
The practice of concentration upon the concept of God.

Karma Yoga:
All the movements is done with the mind centered on one's personal concept of God.

Tantra Yoga:
A way of showing the unseen consciousness in form through specific diagrams, and movements.

Kashmir Shaivism:
It is based in emotion rather than intellect. The practice of this yoga philosophy states that everything in the universe has both male and female qualities.

If you are in Rome, be a Roman.

That is a cliché. Is that so?
It is better not to go deep into debate.

But I am always a Roman even though I had never been to Italy.

What I mean to say is I admire some of their far sightedness which hold good even today.

For example how they valued pure gold like Greeks and Egyptians and how it became their stamp of symbol of prosperity is still being followed by mankind.

In today’s world we are advised by bullion to experts to wield caution while buying gold.

We should not always go by the price of gold but also consider from whom we are buying.

Through Monex Deposit Company (MDC) you can purchase silver, gold or other precious metals and coins for immediate personal delivery or arrange for convenient and safe storage at an independent bank or depository.

This storage facility is certainly an advantage as we are not always comfortable in keeping gold at our home.

Why Monex?
For over 30 years, the Monex companies have been America's gold, silver and precious metals investment leader.

Monex prides itself on having the best us silver coin prices and programs in the silver coin industry. Monex Precious Metals is home to a large and dedicated staff of hard asset professionals committed to serving your precious metals investment needs and being America's best dealer with a convenient market and competitive precious metals prices.

Graduate degree programs in business by Capella.

Distance learning is where teachers and students may communicate asynchronously at their own time by exchanging printed or electronic media, or through technology that allows them to communicate in real time (synchronously).

Distance education courses that require a physical on-site presence for any reason including the taking of examinations is considered to be a hybrid or blended course or program.

Out of the several online universities, Capella University comes to my mind instantly.

Founded in 1993, Capella University is an accredited online university that offers graduate degree programs in business, information technology, education, human services, and psychology, and bachelor’s degree programs in business and information technology.

There is a common belief that distance learning is very ideal for women and house wives. I find it not acceptable.

Why this can be advantageous for men also and students of either sex can opt for it while working for a living.

If it is good for women, then it should be for men too as is evident by 16,000 students of all age and sex that at present services by Capella University.

Capella University is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Capella Education Company, headquartered in Minneapolis. For more information, please visit www.capella.edu or call 1-888-CAPELLA (227-3552).

I envy travelers. I do not have the time nor the money to be a nomad as I would have liked to be.

Hmm… I am sad I am past the energetic age very soon.

Did I say ‘nomad’?
"Aren't we all somehow Nomads, Vagabonds, Roamers, Rovers, Pilgrims, Wanderers, Travelers, Tramps, Continental Drifters? What are you waiting for? Break the cycle, get out of the rat race, break the habit and peer pressure, downshift, retire young".

That was well written the blogger of nomad4ever.
The blogger has covered some good places like the beaches at Bali.

But I am a fan of travel related stuff always and hence when I saw the apt url, I thought I can introduce this to you.

Learn the new gadgets the right way.

I admit that I am never comfortable with electronic goods but I am very good with the same in virtual mode.(smile)

I mean, there are hundreds of submission software, auto form filling softwares and many more that are my favorites. (aren’t they also portable?) Just kidding.

Ryan Mangels is a small business owner of a website dealing with repair parts and accessories for portable consumer electronics called Micro Portables.

His business credentials include a BS in Business Administration and MBA both from the University of Mary Washington along with several years experience as a former US Government Contract Specialist and Best Buy retail employee.

Progressive damage calculator.

We have been thrilled many times whenever we watched those frenetic car chases in the movies. But we never tried to guess all the cost of those damages.

Now Progressive Direct, a unit of a U.S. auto insurer, will do the math for you. It teamed up with Universal Studios Home Entertainment to insert a running tally of the destruction into the recent HD DVD release of "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift."

What a concept! As cars rams into one another, a display in a small window keeps track: "Roof repair: $209, taillights: $451, fender: $618.'

The digital gauge (calculator) is labeled "Progressive Direct: Insurance Damage Estimates."

It is naturally very difficult to know value of the Progressive damage calculator.

While these kinds of experiments may take time to bear financial fruit, studios and advertisers said they believed they had to find new ways to reach consumers in an age when the entertainment audience was increasingly fragmented.

Anything that is offered to us which saves time is the most valuable offer. When CarInsurance.com gave the consumers an opportunity to get free auto insurance quotes, it was welcome with gratitude.

With such a facility, we can compare and shop online for our auto insurance requirements because we can receive quotes from many insurance companies.

Great gift ideas for corporate clients.

I remember my husband’s frustration whenever a new year approached.

He was running his own private limited firm dealing with as many as 7 different products.

As the Managing Director of his firm, he needed to shell out plenty of money every year to purchase gifts for his corporate clients. This is considered a must else he will be called a stinger.

He found it very difficult to decide on the gifts. At that time there were great websites in India that offered a variety of gifts.

Conference collectables provides quality accessories, corporate gift ideas, conference gifts, logo printing, delegate gifts, Promotional Corporate Items, sports bags, travel bags, travel accessories, personal gifts, tools and knives and many more.

They accept paypal online.
