Ecoogler - every time you do a search, help save a tree
This is an ecologic searcher that works with Google, the only difference is that with every search you donate a symbolic leaf to plant trees in the Amazon and the rest of the trees in the world. It works just as Google and gives you exactly the same results. Donating a leaf is something symbolic, because each 1.000.000 of leaves represent a donation of trees to the Aquaverde association. These trees will be used to repopulate the Amazons and the forests worldwide. Ecoogler uses Google Custom Search technology.
Ecoogler shows the same results that google.com, so while looking for what you need you will be helping to repopulate the forests.

Declan Galbraith
Declan Galbraith is an English singer of Scottish and Irish origin. He was born in 1991 in Kent and live with his family in Hoo, a village near Rochester, Kent. His grandfather had a band and played several instruments which inspired Declan to become a musician.
His first appearance in public was at the age of 7 which shows that he had this ability since he was a boy. It was soon after this, when he started entering local talent shows and within a year he had won 15 competitions and more than £1000.
Nowadays, Declan Galbraith is known for the control of his voice, as well as his ability to interpret. Moreover, his youth make him more special as there are not many singers of his age able to sing as well as him.
About his personality: he is not shy at all. Many young people (who doesn't know anything about music) says that he sings like a girl but he has never been affected by this type of comments because people who know a minimum of music realised since the first moment they listen to him that he sings like an angel.
Declan loves Elvis Presley and Elton John. All this means one important thing about Declan’s personality which is that he sings many known songs because of his admiration for those singers.
He has done, as I said before, many different versions of famous songs and singers like for example : " Tears in heaven" by Eric Clapton, "Nights in white satin" by The Moody Blues, "An angel" sung by the Kelly Family (one of his favourite songs which was included in his first album "Thank you") and so on.
He has recently started learning to play the piano and guitar, and writing his own songs like "
You and me" which is a bit different from the others because it combines country and gives it a more modern sound and Declan didn't use to sing this kind of music so he was very pleased with this new album.
I think I've written the most important things to know a bit more about Declan Galbraith.
Here you have one of his favourite songs which is wonderful. You will be impressed on the minute 2:43 when he raises his voice with an unbelievable control. If you know a bit about music, you will see it..
Declan Galbraith is not very known in Spain but personally, I think he sings wonderfully and recommend everybody to listen to him.
In this video (and others), Declan shows the way he feels the music which makes us deduce that he is a very sensitive and delicate boy or seems to be.
In my opinion, he is a very good artist who deserves to succeed in his career as a singer but even if doesn’t succeed now, he has a long way ahead because he’s only 16 years so I’m sure he will succeed one day or another.

The life and music of
Extreme is an american rock band that achieved popularity in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Their influences are easily apparent from their music's multi-part vocal harmonies and electric guitar tone and instrumental techniques. The band lends the listener a sound that blends the genre of glam metal with the shredding guitar work from thrash metal. Being asked about their style, Extreme categorized their music as 'Funky Metal'.
One of his vocalist is Gary Cherone and the guitarist is Nuno Bettencourt. They two began writing songs together and played numerous shows in the Boston area. The begining was pretty difficult for them, but soon they began to be a famous rock group.
Cherone grew up in Malden. He raised in a middle-class Catholic family, Cherone was quiet, creative, and athletic. As a youth he dreamed of a career as a basketball player until he suffered a serious knee injury.In his teenage years Cherone turned to singing in local bands and was heavily influenced by the reigning rock frontmen of the day.
A few years later, Cherone and The Dream appeared on the early MTV program Basement Tapes, a show in which the viewing audience "voted" for one of two competing amateur music videos submitted by unsigned artists.
After several broadcast the group was no longer anonymous.
In 1985 began writing their own material.Although well received by the rock press,the acoustic ballad "More Than Words" inrose up in the early spring of 1991.That ballad is his famous song, and in my opinion is so moving

The life and music of Marilyn Monroe
Norma Jeane Mortenson was born on the 1st June 1926. Her mother was Gladys Monroe Baker and as she didn't know who was her father she took her mother's surname.
When she was just 6 weeks old she had been adopted by a lot of different families. Bu finally, when she was 7 years old, her mother bought a house and recovered her custody. Unfortunately, one year later Gladys was taken into a psychiatric because of a hereditary mental disease. That's the reason why Norma was again brought up by a different family and soon she was finally taken to an orphanage or children's home.

At the age of 16, she married James E. Dougherty so that she could have a stable family. During her life, she got married and split up several times: the photographer André de Dienes, the director Elia Kazan, the baseball player Joe Di Maggio, the writter Arthur Miller who wrote the script of "The Misfits"...
In 1945 a photographer made a documentary about the work of women during the war. Then, the magazine "yank" asked her to pose and not much later she joined "Blue Book" model Agency. The she dyed her hair to a brighter colour.
In 1953 she appeared on the first cover of the first magazine of Playboy. In 1960 she was awarded with the Globe Award and one year later she was taken to a mental asylum because she had a nervous break down.
Finally, on the 5th August 1962 an ambulance stopped in front of her house at 9 o'clock in the evening and they took out her dead body at 3 o'clock in the morning. Some people say she died of an overdose and other because she was poisoned, but her death is still a mystery.
Here you have a really old video of her most famous song:
As you have already seen the video and that you have found that the lyrics of the song are comprehensible, I'm not going to explain anything about them.
But in the same video we can see how Marilyn wasn't only an actress; she was also a beloved singer. At the same time, this video shows that Marilyn always wore very attractive and really expensive clothes. Therefore, we can understand that she was very worried about her appearance and that she tried to look perfect.
Moreover, that dress she is wearing in the video was sold at an auction in 1999 for 1.26 million dollars, a world record. Because of that special day, we can also deduce that she loved standing in front of people and making them applauds. Possibly, that would have given her the satisfaction she was looking for. That was pretty difficult because of her controversial behaviour, and that's why I'm not going to get deep into this business.
You will also be impressed, but some people have done a lot of pages of her in myspace as you can see in this link below:

As you can read in those two WebPages, Marylyn would have been 81 years if she was alive, but as we all perfectly know, she isn't. So, those 21st century WebPages aren't really hers, that's why there are so many but none of them are authentic.

·Pierre Bouvier·
Pierre Bouvier was born in Qebec (9 may 1979). he is very known because he is the lead-singer of a Canadian music group called "Simple Plan".
this band was formed in 1999, by Piere Bouvier, Chuck Comeau, David Desrosiers, Sebastian Lefevre and Jeff Stinco.
Before this band, Pierre played for anothe one, called Reset. that one was only formed by him and Chuck Comeau, who was also a schoolmate.
But they had some problems, and Chuck left the band, so Pierre was alone. Some years after, they meet each other casually, at a rock show, and they decided to form another band, but in this case, with more school friends, such as Sebastian and Jeff. But needed another singer, so they offered David to add to the band, and he accepted.

Nowadays Pierre lives in Qebec, and his wife is Lachelle Farrar and he's now going to be father for first time.
He has four dogs (I don't know their names), and a fish.
He's fauvorite sport is the footbal, but he also like practising basketball, surf or skateboarding.
and he's fauvorite music groups are: good charlotte, blink-182, new found glory, beach boys and BSB.
This is everything I know about this guy. I also would like to say that he's my fauvorite singer, and that his band (simple plan) is my fauvorite band, and twoo weeks ago they gave a concert here in Bilbao, and I was there. It was just unbelievable.
I love them.

When he was only four years old he practised every kind of sport but tennis was the best one he did. When he was only eight years old he won a official championship in Mallorca. This wasn’t possible without the help of his uncle and his personal work. After a lot of successfully victories he began to rise in his career.
First of all, he won against Albert Costa (one of the top ten) and he won also against his best friend: Carlos Moya, of course another one from the top ten. In 2003 he failed in the third round in Wimbledon. In 2004 Nadal was one of the best players in the championships. He won the Davis coup against Andy Roddick from EE.UU. in a difficult game. The same year had won also his first title in Polonia. At the end of the year he won another tile in Master’s championship in Leon city against Fernando Verdasco without losing any set.
In 2005, Rafael Nadal was the revolution in professional competitions. He won against the number one, the best player in the world, Roger Federer. He won also Roland Garros championship and more competitions such as: Master Series, Grand Slam...

Rafael Nadal had a wonderful career in the world of tennis but without his personal work and the help of his uncle his dream couldn’t be possible. All people, we can see how he behaved in the court when he is playing a match. He never surrounded and he always fought until the end of the match.
