How to measure your stick of butter
Before you take the stick of butter or margarine out of the wrapper, take the dull side of a knife to make imprints at each tablespoon mark so when you put the wrapper in the container you can still tell where each tablespoon mark is. That way when you need just a tablespoon or two it's easier to go off the guide marks instead of guessing. | | | | | | Nicole in Forked River, NJ | Tips Published: 1

How to set a price for online listings
Avoid setting prices with round numbers like $100. Try $97 or $103 instead. Psychological studies show that with round numbers, people are more likely to negotiate in larger increments like $80 for something priced $100, whereas with more exact prices, people will tend to negotiate in small increments like $95 for something price $97. | | | | | | Ajit in Houston, TX | Tips Published: 10

How to negotiate a pay raise
Anchoring is a key concept in psychology. The idea is that you want to anchor your boss to a high (but reasonable) number and have them negotiate down from there. For example, if you make $10/hr and ask for a raise to $11, you may end up at a negotiated rate of $10.50. However, if you ask for a raise to $20 (with some justification), your boss might think you're crazy, but you could end up with a negotiated rate of $15. | | | | | | Ajit in Houston, TX | Tips Published: 10

How to keep basil fresh
To keep fresh basil, and other fresh herbs, at their best, don't put them in the refrigerator. Instead, keep them in a glass of water on your counter. They'll stay greener and fresher and make a nice decoration! | | | | | | Melissa in Bryan, TX | Tips Published: 2

Type of roast affects coffee taste
E Espresso and French roasted coffee are popular, but if you don't use an espresso machine, they may not be your best choice. Try a lighter roast. You will then taste the flavor of the specific bean you use, rather than have it overpowered by the roast. Now that you can taste the bean's individual characteristics, experiment a little. Compare a dark, rich Sumatran Mandeling to a light, brassy Yemen Mocha. There's a whole world of coffee out there to enjoy. | | | | | | Jeff in Salem, NJ | Tips Published: 2

How to disguise your camera bag
Rather than one of those big, fancy rolling camera bags, why not use ordinary rolling carry-on luggage--with a small, padded camera bag inside? This has the advantage of not *looking* like a camera bag, and thus being less inviting for thieves. | | | | | | Jeff in Salem, NJ | Tips Published: 2

Accepting responsibility - “I was wrong.”
Making Restitution- “What can I do to make it right?”
Genuinely Repenting - “I'll try not to do that again.”
Requesting Forgiveness - “Will you please forgive me?”

How to calm a crying baby
Swaddle
Side/Stomach
Suck
Swing
Shush
This will work in a matter of seconds if done properly. Lay the baby on a blanket, and swaddle them super tight. Give the baby a finger or a nook. Put the baby on their side/stomach that way they don't feel that they are falling. Give them a good back and forth swing motion, and all ssssshhhh them louder then they are crying. Just don't give up, it takes a little practice! | | | | | | Maria in Faribault, MN | Tips Published: 1
