Can't save your file as Jpeg in Photoshop?

I was about to pull my hair out when i couldn't figure out how to save the file in jpg format which i needed to print due for tomorrow. Thankfully,theres always the net, with all the helpful nice people around with great information some yes, others not so much, this one was my life save for today. thank you!
So as a pass it on for the useful information a got, i decided to popby here and post this useful bit of information for anyone who might need it and come across this page. :)

So if you ever encounter any such trouble just make sure before you panic and pull out all of your hair because your "save as" doesn't contain jpg, remember to go to your Image at the top bar and under mode change it to 8 bit/channel.

Image > Mode > 8 bit/channel > voila! now you can save in jpg. :))))

yayness to the internet info!:)

no this wasn't it though. ;P
Have a good day yall!;)

Tips to prevent hangovers

lilalienations: a game plan came through today....but i was no where in it....i was wondering what kind of reaction should i be having....?
........................................................................................................................................:(

I don't drink often, or more rather to say I'm not much of a drinker....but i happen to come across a health program which was talking about Hangovers and how to counter them....I do know of some friends who drink often and drink loads......

So i guess it's a good share...:)
How to prevent getting hangovers the next morning....( i know there are many tips, but here are those i saw)

• Remember to have a meal before drinking, don't drink on a empty stomach, and try not to make it a too oily meal. (it was something about oil and alcohol not going well...couldn't remember that part too well)
• In between booze, remember to hydrate oneself. It'll be best that for every one bottle of booze, drink the same amount of liquid (plain water that is) to hydrate yourself in between, not just after at one shot.
  
• Isotonic drinks aka sports drinks (Pocari Sweat, 100plus,Gatorade), drink them after all the booze-ing, or before going to bed.
• Take two panadol or pain killers before going to bed ( something about preventing inflammation or something like that....i can't remember exactly why already...)

Yeaps....this were the few ways which were tested and given out as tips....

The best thing is to know yourself well, don't over booze. Drinking is not bad, but as everything goes, moderate is the word. Love yourself, don't drink and drive too. :)

Be a nice human!
loves.

Lightning protection

I was reading the malaysia paper The Star; Starmag the other day and saw some stuff that is good for us to know about lightning...I went online and did a little search and found the article...they don't have the cute pictures which they have in the papers on Sunday 24th may. Let me see if i can scan it through....but anyhuu....have a good read at this...its good knowledge..;)

Lightning safety (Taken from Star online site. here.)

Here are some life-saving tips

1. Run for shelter if you can hear thunder or see lightning. Do not wait for the rain to fall before you act. Sometimes, lightning strikes even before the rain begins.

2. Take shelter inside a large, sturdy building made from steel reinforced concrete (for example, a shop or a house), inside a metal vehicle (such as a bus, van or car) or under a large structure (for example, a bridge). Do not loiter outside a large building to avoid being struck by debris from lightning damage.

If you are caught outdoors because there is no proper shelter nearby then follow steps 3 to 7

3. Do not seek shelter under a tall, isolated tree – lightning often strikes the highest object on the ground. If you have no choice stay under a clump of small trees, preferably in a valley.

4. Don’t be the tallest object in an open area (such as a field or the sea). Get down into a lightning defensive position, i.e. squat (but don’t sit) with your feet
TOGETHER and cover your ears. Do not lie down. If it rains, get yourself wet because water in your clothes helps to reduce serious injuries if you are struck – the current flows over you instead of inside you.

5. Stay away from isolated tall poles and telecommunications towers. Although you won’t be hit directly when lightning strikes tall objects, the current will travel through the ground to you.

6. Do not think that a tent, small shed, rotunda or roadside food stall is safe. Most small shelters are not fitted with proper lightning protection systems. Similarly, never use an umbrella – it just makes you a higher target for lightning.

7. If you can’t find a proper shelter nearby, get down from higher ground (such as mounds, hills or platforms). Get into any depression in the ground or into a dry drain.

Even if you do get into a building, you still have follow these safety steps:

8. Do not touch any metallic object, such as electrical equipment or wiring. If you really must use your laptop, disconnect the wires and run it on batteries and wireless internet. If you need to make a call, use a mobile phone. Do not use the (fixed line) telephone unless it is really urgent.

9. Keep away from the balcony, verandah, doorway, window, wall or pillar as lightning can strike through open spaces. Do not take a bath or use the sink during a thunderstorm. Water pipes conduct electricity.

! Stay inside your shelter for 30 minutes after the last clap of thunder is heard. Lightning can strike up to 15km away from the thundercloud i.e. even after the rain has stopped!

Most importantly, remember this slogan: When Thunder Roars, Go Indoors!

Yay~ I managed to get a scan of the cuter version of the post from the newspaper. The Star; Starmag Sunday 24th 2009

Click on the pics to read them. :)

I think we do follow most of the stuff....but except for number 8....haha...even i myself do that bad habit when there's lightning...but it's better to be safe than sorry right? So be a good kid and listen....;P

Be safe. :)
