RUNNING A NEWS CONFERENCE
If you're holding a news conference, start your presentation ten minutes after the scheduled start, to allow for late arrivals. Reporters are always late.

BUYING STOCK
Don't buy stock that is included in the Fortune 500 or Standard & Poor's 500. The chances of such stocks being undervalued are virtually nil.

Driving
AVOIDING A TICKET
To avoid speeding tickets, stay one-tenth mile behind a speeding car and watch for that car's brake lights. He either has a radar detector and will slow down well in advance or is just speeding and will get the ticket, not you.

Music
EARWORMS
If a song gets stuck in your head, don't try to ignore it. Listen to it four or five times in a row. You'll be able to put it behind you.

Dieting
ESTIMATING PORTION SIZE
A smear of butter, peanut butter, mayonnaise or even a swipe through the brownie batter are high-fat calories. They add up and it's difficult to track them. But if the amount you eat matches the size of the top joint of your thumb, it's a teaspoon.

WEIGHT OF BOTTLE - QUALITY OF WINE

Water
BOTTLED WATER
Nearly ALL municipal water is as good, or better than bottled water. Bottled water is not regulated nearly as much as municipal water. Municipal water is tested hundreds of times more often than bottled water. Buying bottled water is wasteful and a waste of money.
