Trick Yourself Thin With

An Old-School Trick

Exhibit A for why table

manners ought to make a

comeback: Cutting your

food into smaller portions

slows down your food

intake, and it also visually

tricks you to think that

you’re eating more.

Researchers from Japan’s

National Food Research

Institute found that people

thought piles of sliced meats

and veggies were 27 percent

larger than when the food

was kept in one piece.

Satiety is affected by visual

cues, so making

your portions appear larger

will help you feel satisfied

with less.

Well, we don’t know much about doing tax returns, but we can take care of your car this month!

We can’t afford to do this for everyone, we have a tax bill to pay too,

so CALL RIGHT NOW!!!

April is Car Care Month!

Times have really changed.

It used to be you would get

your car fixed when it broke.

Cars were all separate

components that were

expected to wear out – and

wear out pretty quickly.

That’s not how it is anymore.

Cars are complicated

machines now! All of their

systems are connected by

computers. They have VERY

tight specifications to keep

running tip-top. This is

because of all the features

that cars have now from

navigation software to variable

cruise control and because of

improvements in safety from

air bags to emission controls.

So, regular maintenance has

become so important for you to

keep your car for a long time.

That’s what Car Care Month is

all about! Get your car checked

out so you can have peace of

mind!

(presumably using another town's mailman) with the name

field left blank. Consequently, the Postal Service returned

their application with "Nameless" stamped in its place, and

the town remained Nameless -- though they did get their

post office.

Are You Nobody from

Nowhere?

It's the cartographic

equivalent of calling a

song "Untitled": a tiny

town in Jackson County,

Tennessee whose

population peaked at 250

residents is called,

simply, "Nameless."

The most popular

account of the town's

unconventional title

traces the origins of

"Nameless" back to

indecision among its

citizens over what to call

their hometown when

applying for a post

office. Rather than

settling the argument, the

town's inhabitants mailed

their application off

The Funny Bone

World’s Oldest Marathon Man Need some motivation to slip on those running shoes? How about this..

Don’t ever catch yourself saying it's too late to start on that lifelong

goal of running in a marathon: Fauja Singh, dubbed the "oldest

marathon man," recently hung up his competitive running shoes for

good at the astounding age of 101.

Singh didn't come to running with any formal training. When he was

young, he was a farmer in Punjab, India; in the 1960s, he moved to

Britain, where he still lives. Following the loss of his wife and his

fifth son, when he was 89, Singh took up running. "From tragedy has

come a lot of success and happiness," he told the BBC. He ran his

first marathon in London in 2000 and has since competed in eight

additional marathons and a few shorter races. In 2011, at 100, he

became the oldest person to complete a marathon (through Toronto).

Unfortunately, Guinness World Records did not recognize his

accomplishment; Singh has no birth certificate to verify his age.

He competed in his last marathon last year and his final race, a 10km

run in Hong Kong, this February. He finished the event in one hour,

32 minutes and 28 seconds. After crossing the finish line, Singh said,

"I will remember this day. I will miss it.”

Yipes! No, this didn’t happen

here but it’s pretty much my

greatest fear!!
