Quickly pull you car off to the side of a road, preferably the one you were driving on, but you don't have to be picky. If you're a daredevil, jump out just as a car is coming, otherwise wait till no cars are coming like a normal person would.

Now you have to find the jack. They are elusive little buggers, car makers like to hide them. First check the glove compartment, then under the seats. Japanese car makers like to stick their jacks underneath the car where it can rust and fuse itself to the underside of the car. In this case you will need to locate the tire iron to beat the jack off it's rusted bolt. You'll find this to be a good stress reliever.

If you were unable to find your jack after looking “everywhere”, or you gave up because you're just lazy, you will have to proceed very carefully. First locate the tire iron, identify which end is hollow, this end fits over the lugnuts. Before you proceed, say to yourself, “righty tighty, lefty loosey”. I don't care if it sounds gay, SAY IT! Now that you have established which direction to turn the tire iron, begin turning. If you're a weakling, or just a woman, feel free to jump on the tire iron. Keep jumping until you get results. If you hear a loud snap and see that the lugnut is missing, CONGRATULATIONS you have just removed your first lugnut. Don't worry about the missing bolt, there are five and you only really need two. Just try not to break all of them.

At this point you may want to take a break, there is no sense passing out and falling into oncoming traffic. When you're sufficiently rested, carefully position yourself so you can move quickly. Position both hands on the top part of the tire, and pull straight out from the car quickly and firmly. If you are not hurt, great, you may proceed to the next step. If you are hurt, use what's left of your hands to call an ambulance.

You should be proud of yourself, you have freed a tire from it's federally mandated restraints. Next get your spare tire. What? Don't tell me you forgot to check for a spare tire?

You're next step is to call a tow truck. Don't worry, your insurance will take care of it. You don't have insurance? Oh well.

Fair-Debt-Collection.com has a sample letter to use when disputing a debt with a debt collector. You would want to do this if the debt belongs to another person, the amount is wrong, the statute of limitations on the debt has expired, or you just feel like making them prove that they actually, legally, own the debt.

The site advises to send letters by "official mail - return receipt requested." Also, they note that the collector is under no obligation to respond and oftentimes if they can't verify the debt they will just sell it to another collector.

Debbie Foster's battle with the RIAA appears to be finally over. Today, a federal judge in Oklahoma closed the book on Capitol v. Foster by awarding her $68,685.23 in attorneys' fees, a ruling first reported by Ray Beckerman's blog.

Foster was sued by the RIAA in November 2004 for copyright infringement. She denied infringement and began a legal fight against the music industry. In July 2005, the labels added her adult daughter Amanda Foster to the suit. Instead of dropping the action against Debbie Foster, the record labels continued to press claims of secondary copyright infringement, saying that she was liable for infringement since the ISP account allegedly used for sharing music was in her name.

Judge Lee R. West was unmoved by the argument and in July 2006, dismissed the case with prejudice, making Foster the prevailing party and eligible to recover attorneys' fees. This past February, Judge West awarded Foster attorneys' fees, citing the RIAA's insistence on pressing the secondary infringement case and saying that he could find no case "holding the mere owner of an Internet account contributorily or vicariously liable for the infringing activities of third persons."
