Budget Cuts You Shouldn't Make
When money’s tight – you need to cut corners, and right now, everyone’s trimming their budget. Don’t be so quick with the scissors. Certain cuts might save you $25 or $50 today - but cost you thousands later. Here’s what NOT to cut, under any circumstances, courtesy of Bankrate.com.
- When it comes to YOUR CAR, a cut that’ll cost you big time in the long run is skipping your regular oil changes. Sure, it’ll save you $25 to $30, but those savings are only temporary. In fact, it can severely damage your engine, which could cost upwards of $5,000. When old oil turns to sludge, you have restricted oil movement through the engine, and that can do serious damage.
- HOME INSURANCE. With a lower appraisal, you may be tempted to save money by reducing the insurance on your home and your belongings. However, even if the value of your home has gone down, the cost to rebuild it has not. Wood and other building materials will still set you back the same amount. So, if you have a loss, you want your insurance to be solid.
- Car insurance. If you remove a family member from your car insurance, yes - your premium will go down. Even though a lot of policies cover a friend or neighbor who drives the car in a pinch, family members who drive the vehicle should be named on the policy. Hollcraft says failure to list someone who’s a regular driver could mean the loss of coverage - because you weren’t honest with your provider. Besides, she says the money you save when you drop them from your policy isn’t that significant anyway. Also, if you have a minor fender bender, but you aren’t hurt, you may be tempted to leave your insurance agent in the dark so your rates don’t go up. However, that other driver - who first said he was OK - could come back later and claim to be hurt. Hollcraft says you never know when someone might sue you. So make sure you tell your insurance company about any accidents you have.

pwfm Provocative Jack Off Technique
DIFFICULTY = May take practice, Intermediate to Advanced LUBRICATION = Yes
This technique is kind of like the motion of milking. The idea is to keep the motion going fast enough as to always have the testicles and/or foreskin all the way up and both hands full all the time. Although, you can go slower for an alternative.Thursday, May 28, 2009

pwfm Provocative Jack Off Technique
THE MUSHROOMLUBRICATION = Recommended DIFFICULTY = Intermediate
This masturbating method will allow intense stimulation to the head of the penis.
The hands are held in such a way that one hand would be like the top of a mushroom while the other hand would be like the stalk. Rub the top hand in a circular motion over the head.

Try this: Take a photo and upload it to Facebook, then after a day or so, note what the URL to the picture is (the actual photo, not the page on which the photo resides), and then delete it. Come back a month later and see if the link works. Chances are: It will.
Facebook isn't alone here. Researchers at Cambridge University (so you know this is legit, people!) have found that nearly half of the social networking sites don't immediately delete pictures when a user requests they be removed. In general, photo-centric websites like Flickr were found to be better at quickly removing deleted photos upon request.
Why do "deleted" photos stick around so long? The problem relates to the way data is stored on large websites: While your personal computer only keeps one copy of a file, large-scale services like Facebook rely on what are called content delivery networks to manage data and distribution. It's a complex system wherein data is copied to multiple intermediate devices, usually to speed up access to files when millions of people are trying to access the service simultaneously. (Yahoo! Tech is served by dozens of servers, for example.) But because changes aren't reflected across the CDN immediately, ghost copies of files tend to linger for days or weeks.
In the case of Facebook, the company says data may hang around until the URL in question is reused, which is usually "after a short period of time." Though obviously that time can vary considerably.
Of course, once a photo escapes from the walled garden of a social network like Facebook, the chances of deleting it permanently fall even further. Google's caching system is remarkably efficient at archiving copies of web content, long after it's removed from the web. Anyone who's ever used Google Image Search can likely tell you a story about clicking on a thumbnail image, only to find that the image has been deleted from the website in question -- yet the thumbnail remains on Google for months. And then there are services like the Wayback Machine, which copy entire websites for posterity, archiving data and pictures forever.
The lesson: Those drunken party photos you don't want people to see? Simply don't upload them to the web, ever, because trying to delete them after you sober up is a tough proposition.

pwfm Provocative Jack Off Technique
LUBRICATION = Recommended DIFFICULTY = Intermediate-Advanced
This technique can be perfected by moving the base of each palm in an alternate up and down fashion while moving the whole interlocked grip up and down. This will cause your interlocked fingers to act almost like hinges.

How often should I replace my air filter?
It's hard to give a specific time or mileage figure because the life of the filter depends on how much crud it ingests. A filter that lasts 20,000 or even 30,000 miles on a vehicle that's driven mostly on expressways may last only a month or two in a rural setting where the vehicle is driven frequently on gravel roads. Changing it annually or every 15,000 miles for preventative maintenance may be a good recommendation for the city driver, but not its country cousin.
Regardless of the mileage or time, a filter should be replaced before it reaches the point where it creates a significant restriction to airflow. But when exactly that point is reached is subject to opinion.
A slightly dirty filter actually cleans more efficiently than a brand new filter. That's because the debris trapped by the filter element helps screen out smaller particles that try to get through. But eventually every filter reaches the point where it causes enough of a pressure drop to restrict airflow. Fuel economy, performance and emissions begin to deteriorate and get progressively worse until the dirty filter is replaced.
Many heavy-duty trucks have a "restriction" meter on the air filter housing that signals when the filter is dirty enough to need replacing. But lacking such a device, the best you can do is guess.
Removing the filter and holding it up to a light will show you how dirty it is. If it's really caked with dirt, it obviously needs to be replaced. Trying to shake or blow the dirt out is a waste of time because too much of it will be embedded in the filter fibers.
NOTE: Many filters that appear to be dirty are in fact still good and do not really need to be replaced. So it's up to you. If you think it's dirty, replace it. If you don't think it's dirty enough to need replacing, then don't.
