Before taking off to the grocery this week, read on. Most, if not all, grocery/shops put the cheaper options at the bottom of the shelf. The more expensive ones, or the ones where the most mark-up is, is at eye-level... within your quick notice and easy access. Manufacturers invest on these prime eye-level spots because they know a lot of people do not look down for a bargain. Notice that the big names have blocked in those prime spots the whole year thru.
The percentage difference may not be that noticable, but a 20 cents ...
To be rich, a guy has got to gamble. And to have the urge to gamble, the guy has got to have sex in his mind!
This was the finding of a recent brain-scan study by US scientists who sought to understand what’s going on in the minds of the world’s billionaires when they make risky financial gambles.
In the study, young men who were shown erotic pictures were found to develop a stronger desire to make large financial gamble than if they were shown a picture of something scary, such a snake, or something neutral, such as a stapler.

There is always a time to reveal "stuff" that you're afraid to divulge but certainly must. I myself find it a little odd to reveal my true salary to prospects during a job hunt. I think it's a little healthy to keep something to yourself.
But at some point during your job search, you will likely be asked about your salary history -- how much you're making at your current job, and maybe even how much you made before that. It is a little right for future employers to find out how much the industry thinks about ...
"Some executives would love to be left alone."
I read this line from an article about how top corporations are protecting their top level executives. Forbes online's section on Tech->Security lists down how these companies spend to keep their hotshots secure. Check these figures out:
US$1.8 million - the amount Oracle spends to protect its Chief Executive Larry Ellison last year.
US$532,755 - the amount Google spent last year on protecting its Chief Executive Eric Schmidt.
US$33,196 - the amount Google spent last year for Company Founder Larry Page's transportation, logistics and personal security.
US$1 million - the amount Ford spent ...

Business Principles: The bedrock of every corporation

Posted by Lorie Therese as Business Concepts, Business and Money
I am actually being lazy right now even though I have a paper to finish, I decided to write first on here, because I miss writing for Froodee, and it’s tiring writing nonpersonal stuff. :p
I am a big fan of Internet Marketing lately, simply because my other job is for an Internet Marketing guy. I’m always trying to find ways and means to earn more money, and I have actually compiled a PDF file of my affiliate links. If you’re interested in earning more money and you’re willing to help me and thus create a win-win situation for us both (Don’t be selfish! It’s Christmas! :p), then leave a comment on this post. :)
Because it’s Christmas and I’m soo not selfish (haha can’t you tell I’m in a happy mood and that was a joke? :p), I decided to give you a couple of moneymaking options that are so worth considering.
Making Money (For Christmas presents and more)

Posted by Lorie Therese as Business and Money
I’m interrupting this spate of Christmasy cheer for some tips on how to make that money you need to get your friends and family the gifts everyone longs to give and receive.
The online moneymaking world is filled with all the possibilities man can think of, and it’s purely overwhelming. I discovered that I can get paid for videos I can make and put up on Revver.com, I realized that AdSense DOES work, and I also realized that I can sell stuff online, especially on eBay.
There are also other ways and means that you can earn money. Aside from those I mentioned, you can also make money in a fun-er way, as you chat with other people and exchange ideas with them

Daryl of Dunder Mifflin
This news is a little sad for me because I am a huge fan of the TV sitcom “The Office”. I’ve been following this show for the past two years and have really admired all the characters. One of my personal favorites was Daryl, the Dunder Mifflin warehouseman whom Michael (the boss) always always try [...]-

Your Carbon Footprint
What is your carbon footprint? Hmm… ok, let’s start over… What is a carbon footprint?
A carbon footprint is a “measure of the impact human activities have on the environment in terms of the amount of greenhouse gases produced, measured in units of carbon dioxide“.
Here’s a nifty tool from ivillage.com, an online calculator to measure carbon footprints. I think this is [...] -

Pack it well!
I’ve had my fair share of local and international travels. Everytime I “hit the road” I am always brought to “hit the wall” when the time comes to pack. I just couldn’t fit what I need to bring in a small suitcase. Really! My solution? Have the wife do the packing for me. I tell [...] Family Life
Avoiding Debt Triggers
While summer can be the fun-filled time of the year IT CAN also be a huge debt trap. Every year, Americans splurge on summer expenses like trips, hotels, summer clothing, gears, and gadgets. Oh and all those have-nots that people just “need” to make summer extra perfect.
Every mall will hand out “special deals” to hook [...]From the Editor
