Ways to Formatting Images for the Internet

in Photo Shop. Click file —> save for web
brings up the panel you see
Screen shot 2010-01-07 at 18.37.02
main controls you want to mess with are the two I circled
One chooses what resolution you want them to be saved as and the other changes the size. 800px wide is a pretty good internet size. Make sure you click apply or else it won’t actually do the resizing
way of resizing my images is by using blog-it templates from The Album Cafe. They are ingenious little templates you very simply open, drag your image into the layers, drag the corner of your image in to resize it and then type ctrl+g to clip it in. It automatically resizes your image to around 800px and finishes it off with an adorable frame perfect for your blog.

Not All Blondes Are Stupid

clipped from www.lazydesis.com
An attractive blonde from Dublin arrived at the casino and
bet twenty-thousand dollars on a single roll of the dice.
She said, 'I hope you don't mind, but I feel much luckier when I'm 'completely nude'.
With that, she stripped from the neck down, rolled the dice and yelled,
'Come on, baby, Mama needs new clothes!'
As the dice came to a stop, she jumped up and down and squealed...
YES, YES, I WON, I WON!'
She hugged each of the dealers and then picked up her winnings and her clothes and quickly departed.
The dealers stared at each other dumbfounded.
Finally, one of them asked, 'What did she roll?'
The other answered, 'I don't know - I thought you were watching.'
MORAL OF THE STORY:
Not all Irish are stupid.. Not all blondes are dumb, But all men are men.

1 Preheat the oven to 400°F.

2 Peel away the outer layers of the garlic bulb skin, leaving the skins of the individual cloves intact. Using a knife, cut off 1/4 to a 1/2 inch of the top of cloves, exposing the individual cloves of garlic.

3 Place the garlic heads in a baking pan; muffin pans work well for this purpose. Drizzle a couple teaspoons of olive oil over each head, using your fingers to make sure the garlic head is well coated. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake at 400°F for 30-35 minutes, or until the cloves feel soft when pressed.
4 Allow the garlic to cool enough so you can touch it without burning yourself. Use a small small knife cut the skin slightly around each clove. Use a cocktail fork or your fingers to pull or squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins.
Eat as is (I love straight roasted garlic) or mash with a fork and use for cooking. Can be spread over warm French bread

Nine words women use - watch out!

clipped from www.smilespedia.com

1. Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

2. Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the football before helping around the house.

3. Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don’t Do It!

4. A Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer quickly to No 9 for the meaning of nothing.)

5. That’s Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That’s okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

7. Whatever: Is a woman’s way of saying, “F– YOU!”
