Yesterday when i was writing about Web 2.0 sites and surfing through them, something caught my attention in 43Things; i am not the only one who wants to Clean the house and keep it clean. I try to help my wife when i can , and watching How clean is your house helps a lot at least to get some tips.

Use butter and sugar to clean and soften grease-stained hands instead of a harsh paint thinner, use a light sandpaper to dig dirt out of a table, and polish it off with a rag and some hand lotion, use vodka (a natural deodorizer) to sanitize kitchen cabinets and countertops (you can also have a couple of shots), use lemon juice and newspaper to clean shower doors, remove dust from a lamp with malt vinegar and newspaper, clean a germy shower with a water and bleach spray, use shaving cream on a bathroom mirror to prevent steam buildup, use salt and a lemon to remove tough grime from inside the washing machine, wipe a mirror using a coffee filter guaranteeing a streak-free surface. In the other hand , if you feel like lazy , you can always call a cleaning company , like the one i design the template you can see above.

Now the question is, is there any name left for my future web two dot zero site?. As Jason says in his blog : "They're all web sites. The truth was staring us right in the face all this time".

If But I'm With The Band is any indication of the kind of Wicked Contract Girl Keri Sable might have been, porn fans are really going to be missing out. As most of you already know, the sweet and petite star recently decided to give up porn and go back to school for her education. Her gain...our loss. But Keri still has a few more releases due out, and this one is one of the best features I've seen her in. Directed by Brad Armstrong, the movie has Keri playing a rock groupie, who will do anything...and I do mean anything...to get backstage with her favorite rocker, Blade (played appropriately enough by Barrett Blade).

One of the nicest things about this DVD is that Wicked has anamorphically enhanced the picture, which means widescreen TV owners will be able to enjoy the picture in it's full glory without having to zoom in or make any adjustments. Oddly, although the DVD advertises 5.1 Dolby, I found that the track was only 2.0. This is especially odd since virtually every Wicked feature in the past several years has contained 5.1 sound. Extras on the disc are made up of a 26-minute behind the scenes featurette; an 11-minute Keri Sable/Eric Masterson scene taken from Camp Cuddly Pines Powertool Massacre; slide shows; cast bios; and promo materials that include a look at the 2006 Wicked Girl reel that debuted at the AVN Show this past January.

She Would Do Anything To Get In... And She Did! . A "Sold Out" sign wasn't going to stop the ravishing Keri Sable from getting to the band of her dreams. But how far would she actually go to reach them? Watch Keri along with a harem of other hot & horny groupies as they go through ticket-takers, security and whoever else gets in their way!

Don't panic if you see strange things going on with the webpage, cause while you are reading i am performing some changes in the CSS. My life around internet has changed since i launched CSS Mania. That's why i decided that now is time to start something from scratch in this blog of mine. The archive will be kept but not visible for the rest of the people except me. I realized (reading some old entries) the change in my way of understanding blogs actually. So, here is the new design, the new man behind NV30 (some of you already know), as stated above, not a queer popstar. I hope not getting tired of this new sexy look. Too much refreshing webpages for the last two weeks during the redesign are making me have doubts regarding the design. But here it goes. GaBuBu is back to business.

Red is hot. It's a strong color that conjures up a range of seemingly conflicting emotions from passionate love to violence and warfare. Red is Cupid and the Devil. A stimulant, red is the hottest of the warm colors. Studies show that red can have a physical effect, increasing the rate of respiration and raising blood pressure. The expression seeing red indicates anger and may stem not only from the stimulus of the color but from the natural flush (redness) of the cheeks, a physical reaction to anger, increased blood pressure, or physical exertion. Red is power, hence the red power tie for business people and the red carpet for celebrities and VIPs (very important people). Flashing red lights denote danger or emergency. Stop signs and stop lights are red to get the drivers' attention and alert them to the dangers of the intersection. In some cultures, red denotes purity, joy, and celebration. Red is the color of happiness and prosperity in China and may be used to attract good luck. Red is often the color worn by brides in the East while it is the color of mourning in South Africa. In Russia the Bolsheviks used a red flag when they overthrew the Tsar, thus red became associated with communism. Many national flags use red.

Use the color red to grab attention and to get people to take action. Use red when you don't want to sink into the background. Use red to suggest speed combined with confidence and perhaps even a dash of danger. A little bit of red goes a long way. Small doses can often be more effective than large amounts of this strong color. Multiple shades of red and even pink or orange can combine for a cheerful palette. Cool blues provide contrast and tone down the heat of red. Light pinks and yellows are harmonizing colors that can work well with red if not too close in value such as dark red with a pale or golden yellow. Be careful using purple. It can be an elegant combination but too much could be overpowering. With this concepts of red, enjoy the design above.

When it comes to understanding colors, blue is one of my favourites. Blue is calming. It can be strong and steadfast or light and friendly. Almost everyone likes some shade of the color blue. Blue is a natural color, from the blue of the sky, blue is a universal color. The cool, calming effect of blue makes time pass more quickly and it can help you sleep. Blue is a good color for bedrooms. However, too much blue could dampen spirits.

In many diverse cultures blue is significant in religious beliefs, brings peace, or is believed to keep the bad spirits away. Blue conveys importance and confidence without being somber or sinister, hence the blue power suit of the corporate world and the blue uniforms of police officers. Long considered a corporate color, blue, especially darker blue, is associated with intelligence, stability, unity, and conservatism. Just as seeing red alludes to the strong emotions invoked by the color red, feeling blue or getting the blues represents the extremes of the calm feelings associated with blue, i.e. sadness or depression, lack of strong (violent) emotion. Dark blue is sometimes seen as staid or stodgy old-fashioned.

A deep royal blue or azure conveys richness and perhaps even a touch of superiority. Navy blue is almost black and is a bit warmer than lighter blues. Combine a light and dark blue to convey trust and truthfulness banker's colors. Although blue is a year-round color, pastel blues, especially along with pinks and pale yellows suggest Springtime while deep blue is a colder weather color. Create a conservative but sophisticated look with subtle contrast by combining light and dark shades of blue. Mix the color of blue with green for a natural, watery palette. Add gray for understated elegance. Sky blue and robin's egg blue, especially when combined with neutral light brown, tans, or beige are environmentally friendly color combinations. Throw in a dash of blue to cool down a hot red or orange scheme. Grab attention with the contrast of blue and yellow. Dark blue with white is fresh, crisp, and nautical. Red, white, and blue is a patriotic color trio for many countries, including the United States. Use dark blue with metallic silver accents for an elegantly rich appearance. That's what i have done in the design above.

The company i work for has a vision of an all communicating world. Where we enrich our words to give them more meaning. Where we can access whatever we need, wherever we are, using whichever device happens to be in our pocket. And that's what we are doing in this year's Congress in Barcelona, we will be unveiling the latest advances that ensure our vision becomes reality, introducing rich communication and media services as part of an efficient evolution to all-IP networks. A congress that started today 13th February 2006 and will end next Thursday 16th.

Things have been a little bit stressing for me since last post, mostly due to this. No matter what, i must deliver 2-3 templates monthly for this guys or i do not get paid. So, knowing about the Congress and Telecomunications within the company i work for, i did what you can see below for them. Enjoy!.

Apart from a GSM Operator driving me mad in my daily job, Orange is vibrant color. It's a combination of red and yellow so it shares some common attributes with those colors. It denotes energy, warmth, and the sun. But orange has a bit less intensity or aggression than red, calmed by the cheerfulness of yellow. As a warm color orange is a stimulant , stimulating the emotions and even the appetite. Orange can be found in nature in the changing leaves of fall, the setting sun, and the skin and meat of citrus fruit. Orange brings up images of autumn leaves, pumpkins, and (in combination with Black) Halloween. It represents the changing seasons so in that sense it is a color on the edge, the color of change between the heat of summer and the cool of winter. Because orange is also a citrus color, it can conjure up thoughts of vitamin C and good health.

If you want to get noticed without screaming, consider the color orange, it demands attention. The softer oranges such as peach are even friendlier, more soothing. Peachy oranges are less flamboyant than their redder cousins but still energetic. In keeping with its transitional appearance in nature, you might use shades of orange to indicate transition or a bridge between two opposing factors. Orange is often synonymous with autumn yet the brighter oranges are a summer color. Use shades of orange for seasonal-themed fall or summer materials. Orange is mentally stimulating as well as sociable. Use it to get people thinking or to get them talking. While orange and black are traditional Halloween colors, orange really pops with a medium blue. Red, yellow, and orange can be a fiery hot combination or, in tamer shades, a fresh, fruity experience. Make it tropical with green. Use caution mixing orange and pink unless you want to recreate a vibrating, 60s psychedelic look. Try a dash of orange with deep purple or a dash of purple with a bit of orange, tempered by lots of mellow yellow or white for an eye-catching look that's not overpowering. With orange, check the design above.

Since i have been writing in this blog i always had a question, that's the reason of the last flash design you can see below. Here it goes : Why is my mind making a relation between sushi & geeks? . Do i have to be a geek if i like eating sushi? Can i eat sushi without being geek? Do all geeks eat sushi? Well, honestly, i dont like sushi, and yes, i guess i am a geek.
