Negotiate a Raise by Asking About Your Worth to The Company
Wrangling a raise out of your boss might seem like an impossibility in this economy, but if you start with a discussion about your value to the company and help your boss see that a raise is fair, you have a better chance of succeeding. Stuart Diamond, who teaches negotiation strategies to government and corporate managers, says you should start by asking the manager how he or she thinks you're doing. That helps set the stage for demonstrating ( with your list of accomplishments ) why a raise is only right. Diamond's tactic after getting a favorable response about how he's been doing at work is to ask a direct question: "Am I worth less to you now than I was worth last year?"
If you or your kids end up with a head lice problem, you don't necessarily need to invest in expensive and harsh shampoos to solve the problem. A jar of mayonnaise can do the trick. Daniel Packer, writing for frugal living blog Wise Bread, shares his discovery: A few years ago, I unfortunately got lice. I tried all the products that the local drug stores had to offer and found that nothing worked.

If you accidentally shrunk a shirt (or other article of clothing) in the wash, there's a quick fix: soak it in warm water and hair conditioner, then stretch it back out to its proper size. Redditor FawmahRhoDyelindah found that wearing it in the shower with warm water and pulling on it worked well, but oberstofsunshine posted a comment to share a potentially better solution: Soak the garment in hot water and hair conditioner for 5 minutes and then stretch it back to size. It works much better.

If it were a novel, people would criticize the plot for being too far-fetched – thriving colonies disappear overnight without leaving a trace, the bodies of the victims are never found. Only in this case, it’s not fiction: It’s what’s happening to fully a third of commercial beehives, over a million colonies every year. Seemingly healthy communities fly off never to return.

How to set up sync on Windows 8 | The Download Blog - CNET Download.com
How to set up sync on Windows 8 Whether you love or hate Windows 8's Metro interface , its syncing feature makes it immensely valuable to both people with more than one device, and those who know how frustrating it can be to lose personal data and settings from a crash.

Scientists found that men who either drank two pints of beer or two glasses of wine before solving brain teasers not only got more questions right, they also were quicker in delivering correct answers, compared to men who answered the questions sober.

Now it's time to focus on album art , which is less of a practical improvement and more of a fun one. Indeed, there's something to be said for eyeballing an album cover when you play a song.
