There is much speculation as to why the show started off so popular and has not lost any of its following. There is no way to determine for certain why people like the show and continue to watch it season after season.

Dancing with the Stars is about to begin its 7th season in the fall of 2008. Since the very first season back in the summer of 2005, the world loved this show. For some reason people can not seem to get enough and anxiously wait for each new season to begin.

Each season starts with the introduction of the teams of and their teammate celebrities. Then as the season progresses, the public gets to see a of their favorite stars or athlete's learning the complicated steps and moves required for the complicated dances they perform. Some say that Dancing with the Stars has such a large loyal following because people love to see famous people make mistakes and there has not been one season yet where the and blunders of the workouts have not been shown.

There are also others that say they like to watch Dancing with the Stars for the that you can learn to dance yourself if you pay close attention. If you do not know how to dance and watch enough dancers performing the same dance week after week, it is natural that you will begin to pick up on the moves.

There are other fans of Dancing with the Stars that are indeed fans for the simple fact that the celebrities on the show (at least one per season) have been someone that they are a fan of. This became very evident in the fourth season of the show when was teamed up with professional dancer Karina . Billy Ray Cyrus is a singer and actor with a wide following. He lacked skills in dancing to put it nicely. This did not prevent Billy Ray from making it to the final five contestants of the season. It was quite remarkable actually that he lasted all the way to be eliminated 7th.

I am a very large fan of both the show Dancing with the Stars and also of Billy Ray Cyrus and I even knew that he should have been eliminated before he was. The simple fact that the public gets to vote as well as the judges allowed Billy Ray and Karina to stay in the competition longer. If it were strictly up to the judges, they would have been eliminated long before they were.

One other reason for the wide acceptance of the show Dancing with the Stars could be the fact that this particular show is not age specific for its target audience. There really is not a target age. The show can be enjoyed by both children and adults as well as by females and males alike.

No matter why people like the show, it is true that people do seem to have fallen for Dancing with the Stars. Many people are anxiously awaiting the arrival of season seven to see who will compete this time and who will win.Kathy is a guest writer at Reality-TV-Online.

For sure, I don't expect you to share my view as all antiques are personal favorites. But I personally feel that antique boxes signify the spirit of the antique that we all find so fascinating.

In my opinion, antique boxes spell treasure. In my earlier days, I spent a lot of time reading stories of and pirates like Robinson Crusoe, Swiss family Robinsons, Treasure Island and the like.

In a number of these stories, one would read about these antique boxes that were filled with the promise of treasure even though there was no true treasure. But ever since, antique boxes have held a remarkable for me.

I was truly surprised when I stopped at my regular bookshop and discovered that he had quite a number of antique boxes displayed prominently at the counter. What's more he had gone a step further to pack these antique boxes with books to reinforce the treasure that lay in books and reading, however I was simply consumed by the sight, smell and look of those antique boxes.

Almost immediately I rushed in to ask him where he had procured them. Though to me, he was more than an and was aware about my fascination with antique boxes. Even then, he pretended ignorance for a while before breaking down helplessly in laughter. As he sat there with tears of mirth flowing down his eyes, I could not but help wonder about the antique boxes and how he had managed to get his hands on them. He did however tell me the truth, as soon as he calmed down sufficiently. Well, it seems that there were quite a number of people like me around the world who also found ancient antique boxes (with or without any treasure) fascinating. As a result one Chinese company had decided to capitalize on this attraction by making near real replicas of antique boxes. Despite the fact I was initially disappointed, a closer look led me to believe that if the boxes I saw were replicas of antique boxes, then they were sure damn good replicas. In spite of the reasonable price tag though unlike the real thing, I decided instantly to get a couple of them for myself. Today, I too am a proud owner of a couple of antique boxes. Glen B.

She gets off the bus. You rush forward to hug her. And she's in tears. Through her sobbing, barely able to understand what she's saying, you desperately try to find out the cause of her meltdown. Gradually, between , you hear little Apple mumble "they made fun of my name. I'm never going back there. Never."

Happily, this is not a true story. (As far as I know). But when you're trying to select your new baby's name, it's something you want to avoid.

Picking a name for your baby, especially your first, is not easy. It can be difficult, time-consuming, and fraught with anxiety. These ten tips will help you successfully give your baby one of her most important lifelong gifts -- her name.

1. Start looking at early. You are likely to change your mind often, so the more time you allow, the easier it will be.

2. Use the internet. There are lots of great resources online, from baby name lists, to articles about the meanings and , to forums.

3. Classic is classic for a reason. Classic means time-tested, well-loved. always work well.

4. Don't be too trendy or cool. For example, Brittany was # 3 on the popularity charts in 1990. Today, it doesn't make the top 50. Tastes and fashions change.

5. The pressure to use names that have been "handed-down" for generations may be hard to resist. But you should try. Alfred isn't what it used to be.

6. Pay attention to what a name may mean, even if the meaning is obscure. The biblical name Helah, for example, actually means "rust." In this age of the internet, any meanings will be dug up by your child's middle school friends, so be sure to do a background check on names you are considering.

7. Don't make it too hard to pronounce. There's a reason why Caoimhe (pronounced "kee-va") hasn't made it into the Top 100 yet.

8. Make sure it works with your surname. If your last name is Tree, don't name your son Ash or your daughter Jade. And if your last name is Johnson, please avoid John.

9. Consider the siblings, present or planned. If you already have a daughter named Caroline, it would be a little odd to name your son Flint.

10. Finally, be proud of the name you pick. If you've done your research, and agonized over it, you've done the best you can. And that's a special gift for your new baby.

Of course everyone is hoping for the big win, but it seems like many people don't have a plan or a limit set for when to stop.

It isn't a bad thing; it is just interesting to see people pass up guaranteed sums of money which sometimes are fairly large in themselves, for the of winning a bigger pot. It is fun to imagine what we would do in that exact same position. The decision might not be an easy one depending on the dollar amounts left in play and the number of cases left; especially if the big prizes are still up for grabs.

By just , we can experience the same emotions as the contestants. We want them to win and go for the big prize. And if they lose, we console ourselves with the thought that at least they tried! We hold our breath and wait anxiously for the bank's offer and then mutter our advice from our armchairs. Deal or No Deal has become one of the most popular game shows of all time and it just might be because it appeals to the fascination many of us have with gambling and going for the big payout against all odds.

This means that cannot re-sell the games that they already own, ergo, they cannot buy cheaper second . It's really no surprise that rumors with this kind of nature spread around quickly. But the fact that it did spread around and that people talked about it, only tells something about the possible reaction of people, in case the issues are true. To even things out however, Sony has denied the rumors about the illegal re-selling of PS3 Games.

Aside from the fact that the retail price of the game console itself has been stirring up consumers who are waiting for its release, price issues about the PS3 Games itself are also being talked about.

Critiques are expecting that since the Japanese-released have been selling for around $75, they are expecting that PS3 Games would come at a higher price. It would only be natural to expect that this would be the case. Sony has made a lot of efforts to raise the quality of the new product. This is of course, only their natural response to the upcoming competition from Microsoft. However, they would also have to make a lot of consideration as regard the pricing of the games. If PS2 games have been selling for about $75, consumers should expect that PS3 Games would be sold at least around $80-85. In addition to this, high-end games would be a little more over that.

Another rumor surrounding the release of this new gaming console is that hard drives would not be included in some models of the . This means that people would not be able to play high-end PS3 Games that feature HD quality. This has also been one of the key issues regarding the upcoming release.

High-end PS3 Games require a 60Gb hard drive to be able to function. Estimates have been predicted that the hard drive itself could easily cost around $100. With rumors that Sony would be struggling with the $400 pricing of the game console, an additional $100 dollars to the price could prove to be detrimental. Past game consoles that exceeded the $400 range did not perform as well in the market, compared to those which stayed below this mark. It seems people would not want to spend higher than $400 on the video games. The bigger question is that with the introduction of HDTV these days, would people who are familiar with the difference in viewing they would get from it, pay another $100 just to get better video quality?

Oh well! We could all be certain that rumors about PS3 Games and the console itself would continue to be around until it is actually released. I wonder why people cannot have enough patience to just wait and see how much these things would cost, and whether PS3 Games would be copyright protected. It's also good though, that people are able to talk about something while they're not doing anything and are still waiting for the upcoming release.

Great Plot: The writer keeps the reader guessing right to the end by using surprising, realistic . Just when we think we know "who done it" -- bam -- a new twist creeps up and a story involves more.

But every parent's worst is always that they will one day find that their child has become addicted to some sort of illicit drug. Watching anxiously for any sign of erratic behavior, has caused many parents' hair to turn grey virtually overnight. This isn't necessary if you know how to recognize the in your teen, and are able to stop their destructive behavior before it gets the best of them. Recognizing the effects of drug addiction in your teen isn't difficult as long as you understand what to look for. Below you will find some of the that your teen may be battling a drug addiction, along with useful tips on how to get him or her the help they need.

Although withdrawing from family is a normal part of adolescence, an extreme and sudden withdrawal from both family and friends can be one of the effects of drug addiction in your teen. If you have noticed that your teen has become even more sullen and withdrawn than usual, you may want to talk to them (or at least try to) about what they are experiencing. A lack of interest in previously enjoyed activities can also be one of the effects of drug addiction in teens. If your teen was once active in his or her school, church, or community, and suddenly shows little or no interest in these activities, it may be a sign that he or she is battling the effects of drug addiction.

A sudden and is also one of the effects of drug addiction in teens. Even though this may have roots stemming from an eating disorder, is usually indicative of drug use; and you should get your teen into the doctor as quickly as possible. Even if your teen's is not due to the effects of drug addiction, it may have a serious underlying cause, and should be treated immediately.

Again, although every teen will typically experience a decline in their grades during their high school years, a sharp drop on your teen's report card can be one of the effects of drug addiction. As can a sudden lack of interest in their part time jobs, or even just getting out of bed in the morning. If you think that your teen is experiencing any of the effects of drug addiction, it is imperative that you get him or her help as early as possible. All too often parents put off trying to help their teens until it is too late, purely out of the fear of being rejected. Just remember that you are the parent, and if counseling or admission into a drug rehabilitation center is what your child needs, then it is up to you to make certain that he or she gets it. Although the effects of drug addiction can be quite frightening when they present themselves in your child, catching them early and taking action now can save your teen from a life of addiction.

Unfortunately it's also a time when the chaos of the season can render us frenzied and exhausted. There are gifts to buy, a home to decorate, cards to , cookies to bake, combined with harried work and school schedules. It's no wonder that most people forgo the hosting of parties; with no time seemingly left in the day it seems the smartest sacrifice to make. But with a few creative , you don't have to abstain from the any longer.

Christmas party ideas do not have to mean a full-blown catered event smack in the middle of the holidays. Instead, host a holiday cocktail party for a few hours on a Friday night. Have everyone bring their favorite wine; you supply a small variety of delicious cheeses; light the fire; put on some holiday music and you're all set. You do not need to invite hundreds of people either. Invite a few couples and make it an intimate party for six or eight.

Also, when thinking of Christmas party ideas think dual function. Throw a tree decorating party where guests are invited for appetizers and drinks while helping to decorate your tree. Or have a cookie swap where guests are invited to bring their favorite batch of holiday cookies. Everyone leaves with a delicious selection of holiday cookies and all it cost them was the making of one recipe.

Other Christmas party ideas include the combination of community service with the celebrating of the holidays. Gather friends, family, and neighbors together to help serve food in a shelter or sing at a nursing home. Then gather at someone's home afterwards to have pizza and hot chocolate. This can be a wonderful way to teach children the of the holidays.

Another great example of some Christmas party ideas is the after-holiday party. A Christmas party does not have to be held prior to Christmas. If it's just too much to think about a party amidst the craziness of the holidays then hold an after-Christmas party where guests can relax after the holidays. This could easily become a seasonal tradition that your guests anxiously await!

Christmas party ideas are unlimited. If gathering together for the holidays is important to you then make it happen. A little bit of creativity and planning will create the Christmas party that no one forgets.

Two . . . five . . . three . . . eight.

She holds her breath as it rings. A comes over the line. She recognizes it's familiar . It's him, her ex boyfriend, Josh. Her smile quickly as she realizes she's reached his -- again.

This is like, what? The tenth, she's called and left a message. Still, there's been no return call from Josh. This isn't like him at all. He used to always return her calls as soon as he could.

Okay. So they're supposed to be broken up. He told her he wanted to see other people. It was a brief, but over coffee. Sandra only said "okay" because she was in shock. Sure, they'd been having a few problems, but she didn't think they were bad enough to break up over. She didn't really know what to say at the time.

But now, she had a bunch of things she needed to say to Josh. She had prided herself in being a great girlfriend, but now he wasn't interested anymore. There must be something she can say to change his mind.

"Hello, Josh? It's me, Sandra again. Just wanted you to know that I really need to talk to you. I know we can work things out if we just get together and talk, you know? I love you so much, and I don't know why this is happening to us. There was no warning. You just . . . please, I wanna hear you say you love me. Please call me. You know I hate it when you don't return my calls. Please, Josh. I just wanna make things better, okay?"

What is Sandra doing wrong?

She's begging Josh to return her calls. If you want to get your ex boyfriend back, then don't do what Sandra is doing with Josh. What Josh is hearing on his end is an emotionally needy woman who won't accept the fact that he doesn't want to continue the relationship. Instead of making him call her, all Sandra is doing is making Josh feel really annoyed with her constant whining. There's no way he's ever going to return her call -- except to tell her to quit bothering him.

What should you do in this situation?

Pick up the phone and calmly let your ex boyfriend know that you agree with his decision to take a break from your relationship right now. You realize that things aren't as good as they could be between the both of you and that it's best to spend some time apart. Wish him a great day (and mean it) and hang up.

What does this accomplish?

You won't sound desperate like Sandra, for one thing. You'll come off as calm and mature about the situation, which will be a relief to your ex. He'll file your reaction away in his mind and be more open to talking to you down the road. Maybe even sooner than you think.

Yeah, but how does this help me get him back?

Oh, this is just the beginning of winning him back. You see, Sandra's trying to force her way back into Josh's life and she's failing miserably. Stepping back and calmly accepting the situation is the first step of many that can eventually lead to a happy reunion with your man.Want Your Ex Back? I know this is a difficult time for you right now, but you really don't want to even attempt to win your ex back on your own without first learning the secrets of how to make him realize that he wants and needs you in his life again.
