Actionable search results by Krillion.

Good! Very nicely expressed-“Actionable search results”.

Got my point? Google buff may not readily agree but the fact cannot be denied.

Let me demonstrate:

Suppose you want to buy a refrigerator today because the existing one broke down and the outside temperature is beyond 36 degrees.

Since Internet provides instant answer, you look up. In exactly 0.21 seconds you are looking at the results comprised in 20 million pages of 10 each per page. What action can you take based on that?

Ok, none. You narrow down your search and input Amana Refrigerators as that is what you intend to buy. Again you are faced with a similar situation. No immediate action can be taken because again you have to look for the nearest dealer to your home.

Endless searches with no concrete results. Krillion solves this problem with its unique Krillion Localization Engine™ that scours the Web to find, integrate and present actionable local search results for the ready-to-buy consumers.

Men first look at your hair.

Yes, I have studied them. They first look at the hair and the way you have styled it. Well, I don't find anything wrong in that. After all, that is the most prominent feature in us-right?


It is not only the celebrities that frequently change their hair style, even college students and other working women too seek professional assistance to change their hair style. Sure celebrity styles are trend setters but they are not always unique.

Actresses like Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston have huge followings that always want to know which hair styles they’re wearing this week

Feeds on the mobile.

It is absolutely essential that I reed every day all the RSS feeds that I have subscribed to.

I may even don't find time to read my emails on a particular day but not the feeds. I will feel fish out of water if I don't read them. I think you will understand what I am saying and you may also be like me.

Even when I am on the move, I can read the feeds through my subscription with Beetagg.com
This service is offered for free.

I have a long list of feeds that I read daily and here, I give below a few topics.
Law of Attraction
Blogs on blogging
Planetary movements

I was only 15 in 1970.

I did not even complete my high school in 1970. As per our belief, when one completes the high school, one is gifted with a gold ring.

So, I received my first ring in 1970 even before I completed my school. But wait sir, that ring was not made of gold but it was just a silver ring.

Looking at my disappointment, my dad informed me that he could afford to buy gold at that time. And do you know its price then? It was only US$37.60 per oz.

If you do not believe me, check up the history and you will find that I am right.

At exactly this moment, the American Eagle Gold is being traded at $668 per oz. (courtesy:Monex Deposit Company)

In 37 years it has increased by a whopping 1705%. Anybody who was wise to have opted for gold investing at that time would have made a killing.

A near pauper would be a millionaire now.

Even now, it is best to buy gold and silver and who knows what would be their price in 35 years from now!

In all ages, man has been fascinated with the beauty and magic of gold, and with its power to change men’s lives.

Parking service in Los Angeles.

The world's wealthiest place is undoubtedly Los Angeles. With Hollywood at the center of it, it is thickly populated with rich people and equally rich cars of every make.

The night life in Los Angeles may not end even at 4 AM. Obviously, the most vexing issue for its citizens is the parking of their vehicles.

Chuck's Parking service is their solution. Chuck’s Parking Service is providing continuous valet service in Los Angeles for over 40 years. Theirr valet and parking services have already been tried and true at many parties where the hosts were always happy with out work. Thats why Los Angeles Magazine voted Chuck’s Parking Service the #1 valet in Southern California.

With the increase in the number of cars on the road, there is a demand for valets in Los Angeles. Chuck's parking is always on the look out for qualified personnel.

Personal Chef service.

I think this personal chef service is not that popular in America because in India, this kind of service is readily available and it is really cheap.

I believe this service is very costly in the U.S. and that can be the reason for not being so popular. ut I come across one or two chef services that are in the organized sector.

Savories offers your personal chef service. Serving the Ruidoso area since 2001, you can choose from a selection of prepared meals or create your special diet.

Chef Bonnie is passionate about gourmet cuisine and sharing the lush feast for your senses in the warmth and comfort of your own home. Whether it is an intimate dinner for two, a custom meal service or a special catered event, Savories Personal Chef Service offers the knowledge, services, and experience you need to make your special meal a memorable and tasteful one.

The Knot Wedding Shop.

I don’t know about other countries but in India and particularly in Hindu custom, the marriage is completed when the groom ties the Knot-the nuptial knot over the neck of the bride.

Actually the yellow string will have to be placed around the neck of the bride and should be tied with three knots. But only the first knot is tied by the groom and the remaining two knots are to be made by his sister.

The practice of giving gifts to the guests is being followed in Hindu marriages also but mostly it will be clothes or some vessels. These items will be bought in bulk at the whole sale market.

But slowly the practice is changing and nowadays the people prefer to give out unique wedding favors and allocate a fairly big budget for it.

The definitive destination for wedding supplies, The Knot Wedding Shop has top-quality wedding supplies and novelty items ranging from wedding cameras and ring pillows to personalized attendant gifts, cake toppers, and more!

Aerial Photography from the ground!

I ordered a set of notebooks for my students which were delivered today. I was captivated by the image on all the note books.

The image was an aerial view of my city's Parrys Corner. It was brilliant and clear. I wonder how do they manage to capture from the air. Do they use helicopter?

Obviously it seems not. Then how?
Aerial Close-up provides aerial photography from the ground. This is a low-level aerial photographic service using a remote control camera attached to a 20-metre telescopic mast mounted on a 4x4 vehicle. No need to hire expensive planes or worry about problems of flight restrictions.

Oh, I never thought of it before!
This unique bird’s-eye view is previewed via an LCD screen at ground level. The control unit allows the operator to pan, tilt, zoom and frame the subject all from the ground. The telescoping mast can capture unique aerial views needing only the parking area of a medium sized family saloon.

Her audiences are motivated and shown how they can shift their perspectives on life, work and themselves.

New resorts in Hawaii by Gebhart.

After my last trip to Hawaii that was fully sponsored, I decided never to step in a hotel in Hawaii. Not that I found them to be anything negative, it is just that I prefer my own independent sea side cottage.

You know what I mean; typical vacation rentals home rented out directly from its owner or from a highly reputed real estate company such Gebhart Properties.

Gebhart Properties has launched a new website featuring premiere Hawaii Vacation Rentals on both the Big Island and Maui. What I like in Gebhart Properties is their choice of location and the amenities in their beach homes.

Someone at Hawaii pointed out their penthouse at the Waikoloa Beach when I was taking a stroll one evening. I liked the style and the size which must be about one ground.

Oh, sorry, one ground is equal to 2400 sq.ft. It is quite spacious can comfortably taken a family of even 8 persons.

Hawaii is relaxing-don’t you agree?

Oh those copywriters.

It is very poorly advertised-the Intel Duo processor.

Watching the ad in between the cricket match, I could not comprehend what the ad is meant to convey.

A man with a tuft makes a few dancing movements and the ad ends there. What! Is that all?
In another ad, the same movements are enacted by a lady.

The ad should convince why a product is better than others, what is new about it and what it can do to my life. These are the basics on which a copywriter attempts to project an advertisement.

Have you seen those silent ads of a particular plywood years ago? A very heavy man is shown sitting on something. After a minute, he is shown getting up and leave the room. Then the camera focus on an object on which he was seen sitting.

It is an ordinary looking center table made of that plywood.

Got it?

Speed matters.

I am yet to see the movie 'Speed' but I happen to read the review. I liked the synopsis and here is some:

What do you do when you get a phone call from a stranger begging you to save her life?

What would you do if your only ray of hope is your phone?

Would you sacrifice your love to save some body's child?

Speed answers these questions in a dramatic way. It's a great mix of mystery, action and comedy, on the beautiful backdrop of London.

Thank you Yahoo.

It has been a long time since I watched a movie with London as its stage. I remember several landmarks in London from watching earlier movies. Some of them brought memories of James Hadley Chase. His vivid description of parks and cul-de-sac was used by me in some of the blog posts.

Speed deals with many different characters and their lives on a parallel ground. It's a story of how lives of unknown people get intermingled during this crisis.

Strategies may differ but not goal.

Human knowledge is mysterious. We can’t predict when it will perform at its best. But we can’t also neglect any information that we come across. Who knows what information that is stored in our brain will come to help us?

I am not saying that our brain is not dependable but only unpredictable. But softwares are dependable and predictable too. It won’t let us down because it is not allowed to think on its own. It functions as per the developer’s instructions only. But it will yield the projected end result.

I am right now taking a trial with options trading software developed by poweropt.com

Anyway I have been losing daily in stock market, so I thought why not I try this software that promises better results. What I like about this software is I am able to make better decisions because of comparable data that I it searches automatically.

The other salient feature of this software is I can check times when the option is under priced or overpriced and accordingly change my course of action.

Let me wait and see how it performs through the remaining trial period.

Veeravalli's fine gesture.

His name is Subhash and he lives in India capital New Delhi.

He is an engineer having studied at JIIT, Noida, near New Delhi. I used to visit his blog to learn something new. He writes mostly on technical stuff. Though I don't fully understand anything technical, I can still grasp something that gets stored in my tiny(?) brain. And it faithfully serves me by feeding information from its storehouse corner at the appropriate time.

Today, when I opened his blog, I saw a surprising post rewarding his loyal readers by giving a link. It is very thoughtful of him and again I learned a new thing. I will now pass on this same gesture to many of my blog readers.

I would request you to emulate Subhash.

Thank you Veeravalli.

Go veg to become beautiful.

I admit I am no Carrie Underwood but I am not bad.

Ok, who is then Carrie Underwood?








Underwood, 24, a Grammy-winning country singer, won the title in 2005. And now she has been votes as the world's sexiest vegetarian.

Being a staunch vegetarian, I am very happy for her. You should listen to all those great tips of my grandma who was a fierce advocate of vegetarian food. She defended it by living up to 90 years when she died without any illness.

There is nothing that lacks in vegetarian food. Whatever nourishments you find in meat can also be found in veg. I would recommend the green leaves that we call 'Keerai' as the best of all the veg dishes.

I wonder if Carrie will read this blog post!

Latest news on travel insurance.

You might be wondering, “What can be new in travel insurance”. I learnt some very valuable lessons in blogging and one of them is to read a blog post fully if the subject matter is my field of interest irrespective of the headline.

I used to blog about the best travel packages that are comprehensive in the real sense. The entire package should cover the complete cost right from picking me up from my house and dropping me back after the vacation period.

And the most important aspect in a travel deal is the travel insurance which more than 90% of the travelers neglect. When this blog post is read, I expect that 90% to come down to 10%.

TravelSafe’s Trip Protection is one such insurance deal that is more than comprehensive I feel.

Ok, just read below some of the benefits and then decide if there is something latest in it.

· Trip cancellation

· Unexpected delay

· Hurricane Protection

You can add to the above all the other usual coverage that you are aware of. Call them toll free at 888 885 7233 and don’t bother with the time of your call; you will be answered 24/7.

The best spot in Hawaii.

Being naturally skeptic, I wanted to check the details on Wailea maui condo that was recommended strongly to me by my neighbor Mrs. Williams.

She just returned after a week long vacation in Hawaii. She was full of news about the Maui Film Festival that was held from 13^th June to 17^th June. She specifically chose the dates to go to Hawaii to see as many movies as possible.

Obviously she wanted to be in the proximity of the movie halls and selected to rent out the Wailea maui condo. This condo was arranged through their website HawaiianBeachRentals.com.

Ok, so what if I missed the film festival? I can still enjoy my Hawaii Travel if I choose one of those beautiful ocean view beach condos. But I wonder how the weather will be like, in August. I would prefer a friendly weather that should not be hot. Sure I like rains and I hope to see the water from the heavens merge with the ocean. That should be breath taking sight watching from the balcony of the beach resort.

The Agloco myth.

It it 2 weeks before the Agloco tool bar was available for us to download?

So, how much you have earned? Have you gathered information from your friends about their earnings?

Sudden;y, it seems the entire buzz about it in the Internet has subsided. I may be wrong but I don't encounter any further good news or experience from the users of Agloco tool bar. Had it been so, I am sure there will be several blog posts on their earnings, ho great it is with that tool bar and so on.

Come on folks, share your feedback with the world.

Me? Oh, no, I have removed the tool bar after using it for 4 days.

Afraid of maths?

Only when I got my first merit scholarship due to my state rank in mathematics, I realized that I have some special skill in maths.

All the staff at my school encouraged me to take up mathematics as my major for my bachelor degree course and today, having put in nearly 24 years of service as a math teacher, I ended up studying M.Phil in maths. Man, quite a long journey it is!

When my sister-in-law sought my guidance to teach her son in maths, I directed her to escore.com, specialist in teaching maths. I have already heard about their innovative teaching methods and found it refreshing.

The feedback I got from her was really good and she said their Maths Tutors are incredible and absolutely top class. I think she increased the enrollment at escore.com because she spread the good word quite enthusiastically.

Ready to eat curd rice.

The God has come down to meet the the ordinary man in South India.

Curd Rice-the king of food in South India goes corporate. In supermarkets, mega food malls, the shelves were always decorated with every kind of junk foods (forgive me for the usage) that includes ready to cook side dishes for Indian breads like Chapati, Nan and Roti varieties.

All you have to do is to the sachet in hot boiling water, leave it there for two minutes, take it out start filling up the cups in your plate.

For South Indians like me, the craving for curd rice will surface just 24 hours after we land in any part of India beyond the Vindhyas region.

Now, Hatsun Foods, the makers of popular Arun Ice Creams have launched Krd Rys (curd rice) in 275 gms plastic box. The curd rice is thoughtfully garnished with cashew nuts, raisins, carrot, mustard, green chillies, ginger and curry leaves. They also provide 3 different pickles to accompany the main dish.

I fell at last the God has come down to meet us.

All that I could eat.

I was the center of attention-(yes, attention and not attraction) when they dumped me at a diner called Bill Wong’s Famous Buffet where I was told to eat as much as I can.

Poor me, what a die hard vegetarian can eat there? I simply sat looking at those attractively decorated, colorful food. I found only a few pieces of tomatoes that I can all as vegetarian food.

After all those costly rides and dinner shows, this dinner was free (?) for me. Yes, I had been to the Arabian Nights and I never could forget that experience in my life. I will write a separate blog post on that later.

Fortunately I bought the Disney World Tickets before I left India for Orlando. I had a tough time selecting the discount tickets at Orlandofuntickets.com because there were so many options and discounts that I found everything tempting.

My husband shook me to realities and we bought a bundle of discount tickets that suited our budget. Arabian Nights dinner was covered in our purchases.

Orlandofuntickets.com is the ultimate source for discount tickets for Disney World and all Orlando theme parks, dinner shows and attractions.

The best internet movie site.

Ok, I give in. At last, due to incessant reminders goading me to blog about entertainment based websites or blogs, I relented.

Of all the movie web sites, I think 'The Internet Movie Database' seems to be the biggest, best, most award-winning movie site on the planet. At least that’s how they claim in their website.

My job ends here. My blogs will point you in the direction of entertainment oriented web sites. I have no further interest in movies or any other form of traditional entertainment.

I will tell you only this much and this too is available in their web site.
"The Internet Movie Database (IMDb) is a HUGE collection of movie information. We try to catalog every pertinent detail about a movie, from who was in it, to who made it, to trivia about it, to filming locations, and even where you can find reviews and fan sites on the web. We then do our best to present this information in a manner that is easy to search and access."

Affordable web design.

I paid Rs.15000 for my first web site that was designed by an old student of mine on ASP platform.

It was not efficiently coded and there were loads and loads of bugs which he went on correcting for nearly 3 months. Somehow we got it up running only to be closed permanently within the first year.

Had I known at that time AccelaWebsites.com I would have saved myself a lot of frustration. It is a leading Internet provider of high-end professional web design, logo design, and web hosting to small and midsize businesses at affordable pricing.

I think their pricing pretty reasonable. It is a simple website with navigation which I take it as one in their portfolio.

If you have broadband internet connection.

I think it was on a Sunday when I went to an IT park in Madras to meet a friend of mine with whom I have lost the contact. But I very badly wanted to revive the contact.

When I received a call in response to my complaint on my satellite TV, I thought I recognized the voice. To my surprise, she also recognized me when I introduced myself.

The appointment was set and I met her at her office.

While chatting, I noticed something different in her console which she told me is the new VoiP that is sweeping the communication technology. She informed me that how else can they afford for all those international calls if not for VoiP?

I knew something about VoiP but what she revealed was staggering. Above all, installing VOIP Small Business phone systems is not at all costly she said. The upfront money is negligible when you consider the monthly savings on telephone bill.

The major advantage of VoiP is the ability to receive Internet phone calls anywhere you are, as long as you are accessible to the Internet. With zero maintenance because you only use Internet connection to communicate, it is a discovery that has to be commended.

Xpander Communications specializes and delivers the most user friendly phone systems available thanks to a focus on simplicity, reduced costs, and drastically reduced maintenance. As they right said, the benefits VoIP phone systems have to offer the small business world are endless.

Where one gets business leads.

I heaved a sigh of relief when the Indian Government imposed a ban on unsolicited SMS and telephone calls.

God knows how many people sided along with me. Those calls from telemarketers are height of the nuisance. I used to wonder about their source of telephone numbers.

I guess it is from the courier companies, who, ask for our telephone numbers when we sign our receipts for the consignment.

Now where will all these telemarketing companies go for the leads? Mashable solved their problems. In his last email update, he speaks about quotesauction.com . People fill out so many online forms during their daily surfing and that becomes the source for lead brokers.

Whenever I am inspired to write a blog article after reading Mashable I never fail to express my gratitude to him. Thank you Mashable.

An adsense revenue sharing blog.

Visit Yourblog.in.

It is an adsense revenue sharing blog. I have been with them for over a year. I admit I have not earned a single cent from their website but somehow I like the webmaster. He is a very kind person.

But I have earned using his website in some other way. My blog with them will get some sponsored posts. In that sense, I owe my sincere gratitude to them.

Whatever little have earned so far from adsense revenue sharing sites came from senserely and bloggerparty.

I lost count on revenue sharing sites that I signed up with; may be ten or so but I am active in only 4 sites. But what I benefited more from these sites is knowledge and friendship.

No effort is wasted-right?

Online Tickets for NFL.

Which is more popular in the U.S.-baseball or football?

To my knowledge, baseball scores higher than football. But that doesn’t mean getting Miami Dolphins Tickets is easier. Nowadays, people love getting out and enjoy a game of football or basketball and they don’t mind a little bit extra they have to spend on getting a custom seat.

Though one can buy tickets for any games or concerts from various sources, buying online is the most preferred method without any doubt.

If you want I will recommend an excellent ticket broker to you. Premiumseatsusa.com is known for their efficiency and customer service. You can rely on them for tickets for your favorite NFL, MLB, NBA or NHL team or an amazing concert.

Forget about long queues in front of the concert halls. Buy hassle free online from premiumseatsusa.com.

Is there a network for moms?

We have social networks for bloggers, singers, actors, students, but do moms have one?
If so, won't they just love to spend time on it?

As a mom, I would.

Here it is one-OpMom short for Operation Mom - is a free lifestyle management system and social community for moms. OpMom members enjoy sharing the latest event ideas, travel plans, recipes, and service provider referrals with each other.

As a mom, what will I do with it?

I will first develop friendship with every mom. I will get to know their lives, family, career, entertainments, hobbies etc.

I will tell them about my daily life, ideals, philosophy, career and ambitions. I will ask about their city, weather, places to see, customs and beliefs.

I will seriously plan to visit them one day.

Data recovery? Not for me.

When the entire Internet community is constantly worrying about accidental data loss, I am at peace.

Of course my computer never crashed, nor did I accidentally delete an important folder. There are thousands of data recovery software are being sold in the Internet. Some may even give us a trial version.

FileRecovery offers a data recovery system which they claim that it works even when the system refuses to boot. I don't fully understand the technical aspect of it. But you can get more details at my friend Subhash's blog.

The software includes a partition recover tool also that can be launched from the bootable CD to work with a crashed or failing computer system.

But as I said, I don't require any of these because I use a Flash Drive.(smile)

Say your thanks to Subhash along with me.

Hassle free Miami Heat Tickets.

I am 100% sure many would have experienced watching their favorite basketball game sitting directly behind a pillar or some other obstruction. After all the difficulty you went through in procuring a ticket at the stadium’s gate, you would have felt cheated.

But why blame your ill luck when you could have booked your best seat from premiumseatsusa.com, the premium online ticket broker for sports, concerts and other entertainment shows?

Be it for a fabulous show in Las Vegas, or for Miami Heat Tickets, your best choice for buying tickets online without any hassle is always premiumseatsusa.com

Three cheers to Miami Heats!

Earth like planet identified.

A news item that appeared a few days ago caught many people's attention. It was about the discovery of a distant planet that seems to have earth like temperatures that indicated the possibility of existence of water and thereby a possibility of life.

Night sky watchers were more interested in this news and this may even prod them to buy one of their own meade telescopes that enables them to view thousands of celestial objects hoping to discover some new star or planet. Who knows what is in store for us? Nature reveals her secrets to those who seek.

The 1$ online shop.

How much will you pay for this?







Can't guess the price? What if I say that it costs only one dollar? Yes, buddy, just a dollar.
And this is just a product. You will find plenty of products that you can't do without at My Dollar Shop.

Categories that you can find other products are, books, movies, software, pets, home and garden etc.

How about you?

Capella’s Colloquia.

Fixing my sight on the name board that reads, Dr. Malathy Badri M.Sc; M.Ed; PhD, I am devoting more of time to enhance my theoretical and practical knowledge and leadership skills that will project me as someone with authority on Maths and Education.

I have already established myself as an expert in maths coaching to high school students. As I am getting many enquiries from college students, I want to qualify myself and hence my decision to earn a doctorate degree in education.

When many parents of my students prodded me to publish my book on Maths, I felt I am yet ready for that. But, Sara Orem was my prime motivator.

Don’t you know who Sara Orem is?

Sara Orem, PhD, is an adjunct faculty member at Capella University, an accredited online university.

How she motivated me?

She has co-authored a new book titled Appreciative Coaching: A Positive Process for Change.

What is new in this book?

Appreciative Coaching uses positive questions, mindfulness, and other tools to acknowledge the strengths of individuals and effect change.

I have chosen Capella University for my doctoral degree because I want a program that matches my determination to excel and at the same time allow me the flexibility to balance other responsibilities in my life.

Actually, I want to write here more about their colloquia which is a face-to-face program component that allows me to connect with other learners and faculty from around the world as well as with Capella University support staff. Since it is a rather lengthy subject, I will write about it exclusively some other time.

Now a brief note about Capella University:

Founded in 1993, Capella currently offers university degrees online that suits majority of the people who want to add a few degrees after their names by e-learning method. Capella currently offers 82 graduate and undergraduate specializations and 16 certificate programs
