It isn’t easy to make decent money as a musician. It might not even be possible unless you treat your band as the business it is, and do whatever you can to help your audience feel like they know you. Whether your band is just starting out, or whether you’ve been playing shows for years, there are ways to turn your art into a profitable lifestyle. Maybe you feel you can’t live without writing and playing your music. Well, you need to convince your fan base that they can’t live without you writing and playing your music either.

There are three basic strategies that will help make your band into a phenomenon that will one day pay the bills. You need to develop and polish your stage show, offer products that your fans will love, and make a steady, consistent effort to promote your band and keep your fans up to date with all of your goings on.

Need to hide stuff? Dont know how? Follow these steps below:

Note: you need WinRAR to start, pick it up at RarLabs. Its just like winzip, but better.

• Get all the files you want to hide, and compress them into a file using WinRar
• Make a folder on your C:\ called “hide”
• Copy the compressed file you just made into the folder “hide”
• Copy the image you want noobs to see when they click on it into the “hide” folder
• Go open Command Prompt (you can find it in accessories)and you want to go to your C:\. If you dont start in it when you start the command prompt, type “cd ../../” without the quotes. It should say C:\>
• Now type “cd hide” without the quotes
• Type copy/b photo.jpg + files.rar result.jpg
• You have just magically created “result.jpg” with the files in your compressed folder. You can rename result to anything else

Now when you click the image file it will show an image just like normal It will be the size of the compressed file you used though.

When you want to decompress it just right click on it and go to “open with” and choose WinRar. Then just extract it to wherever you want!

Now go impress your friends. You could even make up a jpg that says “OMG DONT LOOK” or something so it looks suspicious, but no one will ever know why you have a 560MB jpg file on your desktop.

I found this article pretty funny and ridiculous. I didnt write it, and I have no clue who did, but take a look at it, you might find it funny.

In this article we are going to discuss how to funny around good looking women

you are interested in. Now if I’ve said this once, I’ve said it 100 times…there is NO greater natural aphrodisiac than laughter! If you get a girl to be silly, light and laughing there is almost NOTHING else you CAN’T get her to do later. Most men have trouble with this simple step. So continue reading as I share a few easy tips for those of you who’ve asked! Read on.

Filed Under: Laughter and Lust Make Erotic Bedfellows.

The easiest way to make a beautiful girl laugh is to playfully laugh at HER! Most really hot women are SO used to being put on a pedestal, and patronized with really bad lines that a man who takes the comic approach is REALLY appreciated. If you can tease her with some good and funny things that she did that were funny, she’s going to be intrigued. A bit taken back and VERY curious to know more!

And when in doubt:

Not sure you can pull of the laughing at her part yet? No worries, when in doubt, laugh at yourself! There is something amazingly sexy about a man who can laugh at himself. Think about all of the great, funny sexy actors who get ALL of the beautiful women in the movies, and in real life to boot! A man who can make others laugh at his expense shows an incredible amount of confidence – and you’d be surprised at how many men are too insecure to point out their own flaws in public. (or in private for that matter) Step out of the box, INTO the spotlight and shine in brightly on one of YOUR character flaws, and watch the women flock!

And One Last thing:

Women admit that they would prefer a man who COMMUNICATES passionately during sex (which means she wants a little lusty dialog, they want you to learn the landscape a bit better (understand her body) and they PREFER a man who is SUPREMELY confident and self assured.

The following is a school project I did in my technical communications class. Enjoy!

Replacing a flat tire

Introduction

Replacing a flat tire requires only a few essentials: a spare tire, a jack, a tire iron, and a wheel chock (or large rock). Because flat tires are so common and can happen at any time, every driver should know how to replace a tire with a spare. Although it can be daunting the first time you attempt it, replacing a tire is not very difficult. Almost anyone can do it in under 15 minutes, which is less time than it usually takes for assistance to arrive. After reading this set of instructions, you will know how to safely and correctly replace a tire on your own.

Directions

1. Pull off the road, turn off the engine, and turn on the hazard lights.

2. Put the car in park on level ground and apply the parking brake.

Note: If you drive a manual transmission car, you should put it in gear.

3. Place a wheel chock or a large rock behind (if facing uphill) or in front of (if facing downhill) the diagonally opposing wheel to prevent the car from rolling.

Note: This should be done even on a slight incline.

4. Get out the spare tire, a lug nut wrench (tire iron), and a car jack.

Note: To avoid bruised knuckles, you should pull rather than push when removing lug nuts.

Note: Do the following before jacking up the car.

5. Remove the lug nut by placing one end of the tire iron over a lug nut.

Note: The loosening of the lug nuts should be completed in a star pattern, first loosening one a few turns and then loosening the one opposite.

6. Turn the tire iron counter clockwise to loosen the lug nut.

7. Work across the tire until all the lug nuts are loose and unscrewed.

Warning: Cars can slip off jacks. Being extremely careful is very important. You should never get under a car with only a tire changing jack holding it up.

8. Move the jack underneath the car. Read the rest of this entry »
