How To Choose Nail Art Designs
by. Dolvin ≈ February 26, 2008
Dolphin Nail ArtNail art and designs are becoming more and more popular, opening a whole spectrum of different options, which range from having nails polished in two colors, to the use of stickers or even jewelry “rhinestones”. Besides, these nail art options can complete an outfit and give a touch of style even to the most conservative women.

One of the most common techniques of nail polish art is based on the usual French manicure, though the different touch consists of replacing the typical white and light pink for the colors every customer chooses. Two different tones of the same color can be combined too. Using stickers, stars, flowers or even jewelry can be applied for giving the nails a perfect touch.

There are many types of nail art to choose from, and depending on how fancy you'd like to get, you can even do a few of them yourself!
  1. Hand-painted designs These are simple designs (usually flowers) created with regular nail polish and usually accented with puffed and/or glitter paint. It's easiest (unless you're ambidextrous) and usually relatively cheap (often $5-10) to have it done in a salon, but it is possible to do it yourself. Simply cut a toothpick in half and dip the newly blunted end into the polish color of your choice. Then make a circle of five tiny dots, forming a flower. Then add a rhinestone or dash of glitter paint for the center, and you've got yourself some snazzy nails!
  2. Texture techniques This is another easy way to jazz up your nails without going to a salon. Texture techniques involve using regular nail polish and simple household objects to create fabulous designs! A good example is polish swirling: To do this, paint on a thick layer of any nail color you'd like (an intense or bright color works best). Then, using a toothpick, dab a few drops of white or cream onto the layer of color (any light color will work well) and swirl the colors together.
  3. Airbrush designs This can be done at home if you purchase a rather expensive machine, or you can have it done at a salon for a relatively low price. Basically, a machine spray paints a design of your choice onto your nails.
  4. Rhinestones These are great as either the centers of flowers, or arranged in a neat row along the edge of your fingernail or toenail.
  5. Decals These are tiny stickers that you place over polished or unpolished nails, and then seal with topcoat.
  6. Piercings Believe it or not, people (presumably those who ran out of body parts to pierce) do pierce their nails. If you're brave, ask your nail technician to pierce one nail on each hand with a small hoop or stud. Just be CAREFUL when you're running your hands through your hair!
So how are you supposed to choose between all those designs, colors, glitters, and jewels? You can base your selection on a number of factors:
  • Season Just as fashion trends change with the seasons, so should your choice of nail art! For spring, think fresh, fun flowers in light colors, such as candy pink. For fall and winter, choose a seasonal airbrush design, like a snowflake!
  • Occasion Nail designs make it fun and easy to stay in tune with the holidays. Try little red hearts for Valentine's Day, or cute little pumpkins for Halloween.
  • Personality Despite all these "rules," don't forget to be yourself and experiment with FUN!

Hacking Toolbox
by. Dolvin ≈ February 23, 2008
The main resource hackers rely upon, apart from their own ingenuity, is computer code. While there is a large community of hackers on the Internet, only a relatively small number of hackers actually program code. Many hackers seek out and download code written by other people. There are thousands of different programs hackers use to explore computers and networks. These programs give hackers a lot of power over innocent users and organizations -- once a skilled hacker knows how a system works, he can design programs that exploit it.

These are the Hacking Toolbox that hacker must have:
  • Backdoor: Intrude computer and control the computer with client program.

  • Crack Tool: crack passwords of systems or applications, crack the serial numbers.

  • Disassembler: Disassemble the program with it. If you have a executable file, you can look the source code of this file with it.

  • DoS tool: Make computer stop to respond to any request with these tools, so other people can not access the computer.

  • Document: Documents about hacker, cracker, etc.

  • E-mail tool: Destroy the computer system using these tools, the tools are all related to e-mail. It includes several tools about e-mail, for example, email bomber, tool to find someone's email address, etc.

  • Editor: Edit or modify your program with them.

  • Encryption & decryption tool: Encrypt files of almost any type using many strong cryptography algorithms.

  • Executable file tool: Manipulate executable files with these tools, bind some executable files, split one executable file, etc. So, for example, you can add one executable file to another one.

  • ICQ tool: Destroy the computer system using these tools, the tools are all related to ICQ. All programs in it work with ICQ. With the tools, you can do many things, for example, recovering ICQ's password, sharing your files, and encrypting your ICQ messages, and so on.

  • Keylogger: Record keystrokes when the program is running, so you can get some useful information, for example, password.

  • MISC: Examine source code for security holes, hack games, and other interesting tools for both linux and windows.

  • Packet forging: Modify the data packet on network at will.

  • Phreak tool: Test the paging transmitters and systems, and so on, it includes box and wardialier.

  • Scanner: Acquire the system information, for example, open ports, OS, and so on.

  • Sniffer: Intercept and capture the data on the network.

  • Snoop tool: Show information of your system. For example, it can show IP address of your computer, or it can show SCSI and ATAPI devices in your system, and so on.

  • Source code: Source code of many tools.

  • Spoof: Bypass an HTTP proxy, keep your connection active, creates fake credit card numbers, ip spoof, etc.

  • Virus: Source code of virus and executable virus.

How to Make Your Flowers Long Last
by. Dolvin ≈ February 15, 2008
Did u get flowers on Valentine's day?
these simple care guidelines will help keep them vibrant and long lasting.

Flower in VaseCheck Your Flowers Daily
Keep the vase, container or liner filled with fresh water. Even if the container has floral foam, you should keep the water level high to promote long lasting flowers. The container's water has a fresh flower food added to it. If you completely change the water, you should also thoroughly clean the container. Add fresh water mixed with a commercial fresh flower food. These flower foods may be supplied by the florist who delivered your order and they contain the correct ingredients to properly nourish the flowers, keep bacteria at bay (which can block the stems and prevent them from absorbing water), encourage buds to open, and lengthen the life of the bouquet. It's one of the best and easiest ways to extend the life of your flowers, but be sure to follow the directions on the package correctly. Improperly mixed flower food can actually do more harm than good.

Re-cut Their Stems
Every few days, remove the flowers from the design and re-cut the stems. Remove 3/4" to one inch from the bottom of the stem and be sure to cut the stem at an angle to allow the flower the best chance to take up water. Use a sharp knife or sharp floral cutter or scissor. Avoid smashing or piercing the stems, as this can destroy the water vessels in the stem and prevent water absorption. Remove any spent or damaged blooms or foliage that falls below the waterline in the vase.

To avoid disturbing the stem placements in a vase arrangement, tie the stems with twine just above the vase's edge before taking them out of their vase. Hold the tied arrangement at the twine-bound point to re-cut the stems. Then place them back into the clean vase with the fresh water and a flower food.

Change their water, and add additional fresh flower food
Be sure to clean the vase before refilling it with room-temperature water mixed with the proper amount of fresh flower food. Be sure no debris is floating in the water (such as leaves and stem parts) as this could promote the growth of bacteria which can shorten a flower's life.

Display them in a cool spot
Most flowers prefer temperatures between 65 to 72 degrees Fahrenheit (18 to 22 degrees Celsius) and are best displayed away from direct sunlight, heating or cooling vents, directly under ceiling fans, or on top of televisions or radiators, which give off heat and can cause flowers to dehydrate. Avoid placing fresh flowers near ripening fruit, which releases tiny amounts of ethylene gas that can age them prematurely.
