1. Reflections
A. Cynthia, my beautiful bride, and I had a hectic but marvelous
Saturday . . . in the day, we went to New Hope, Pennsylvania,
to visit the art studio of a friend and talented teaching colleague
(Milt Sigel) . . . we were impressed with both his home, which
he designed himself, and his artwork . . . from there, we
went to dinner in Newtown, Pennsylvania, at one of my
favorite local restaurants: Il Sol (215.968.5880) and then to
my friend Pat's house to visit his dog Spike . . . see below:

We're not quite ready to become dog owners yet, but when
we do, we might very well want to get a dog like this one . . . it's
a Suki, a combination Shih Tzu and Yorkshire Terrier . . . the breed
doesn't shed, and it is just adorable.
From there, we went to the Bucks County Jewish Community Kallah,
where I spoke with my friend Linda Kanner on the "Singles
Experience" . . . we then stayed for a fun session of Israeli
folk dancing, led by another BLAINESWORLD reader--Darcy Silvers.
IN CASE YOU'RE INTERESTED:
Darcy will be conducting other classes once a month at Temple
Sinai in Summit, NJ, on Sunday nights from 7-8 p.m. . . . they
are designed for beginners or those who enjoy the "oldies" . . . she
will be conducting them on the following nights: March 4, April 8 and
May 20.
The charge is $10/session, and for more information, please click:

B. With other friends, we caught a movie--see also Section 4A--and then
went to dinner at Maggiano's Little Italy in Bridgewater, NJ (908.547.6045).
We've been hearing a lot about this restaurant chain, so it was nice
to finally be able to check it out for yourself . . . the tables were a bit
closer than we like them to be, and the place was a bit
noisy . . . however, the food was excellent . . . we split lasagna
and tilapia dishes that even when split, still allowed us enough
food for another night . . . our server, Ryan, was efficient and
also friendly.
C. CONGRATULATIONS to Skip Goodnoe, a longtime friend and reader
of this missive . . . he received the Newtown Business and Professional
Association’s 2006 (and first) Brian Gregg Humanitarian Award on
January 23, 2007.
This award was named in honor of the Newtown Borough policeman
who was killed in the line of duty on September 29, 2005.
Skip was also recently recognized by the Bucks County Community
College Foundation for his contribution to the Lower County Campus
campaign through the Goodnoe brick project.

***** BLAINESWORLD BEST AWARD *****
This week, it goes to Jo Civagalila--Health Enterprise reporter
for the BUCKS COUNTY COURIER TIMES.
I've known Jo for several years . . . we first met when she
covered the College for her fine paper . . . I always found her
to be both hard-working and objective, interested in
getting all the facts she possibly can before beginning
any article.
Recently, we've connected again as a result of her new
assignment . . . she did a great job this past fall semester,
covering the smoke cessation program we ran in the fall
at Bucks.

2. FYI
Save money on taxes (FOR EVERYBODY)
If someone approached you on the street and offered you $60, no strings
attached, you'd probably grab your wallet and look around for hidden
cameras.
Promises of easy money are usually dubious, especially if they come
from Nigerians seeking an "urgent business relationship." But the
telephone tax refund isn't a scam. To claim it, all you have to do is file
your 2006 federal tax return. . . .
After several recent federal court rulings that the tax had been illegally
applied to long-distance service, the government decided to scrap it. In
May, the Treasury Department told phone companies and cellular carriers
to stop charging the tax as of Aug. 1, 2006. Treasury also announced
that individuals and businesses could file for refunds when they file their
2006 tax returns. . . .
Taxpayers who claim the refund have a choice: They can use either the
actual sum of long-distance excise taxes they paid during the period
or the standard amounts provided by the IRS. The IRS based the
standard refund amounts on the phone usage data for average families
and households.
The standard telephone tax refund will be based on the number
of exemptions claimed on your tax return. Standard amounts:
One exemption/$30
Two exemptions/$40
Three exemptions/$50
Four or more exemptions/$60
To claim the actual amount, you need to fill out Form 8913 and attach
it to your tax return. That form includes a formula for calculating the
interest the government owes on the excise taxes you paid, says E.H.
Rubinsky, tax analyst for RIA, which publishes tax information and
software. (Unless you're a math wizard, you'll need a calculator.) The
standard amount includes estimated interest. . . .
Other things you should know about the telephone tax refund:
* You don't have to itemize to claim the refund. Just fill in the amount
of your refund on Line 71 of Form 1040, Line 42 of Form 1040A
or Line 9 of 1040EZ.
* You won't receive a separate check. The amount of your payment
will be added to your refund or be used to reduce the amount of tax
you owe.
You can find Form 1040EZ-T at:
http://www.irs.gov
You can file it electronically through the IRS Free File program, which
is available at the IRS Web site. The form is also available at some
post offices and libraries, or you can call 800.829.3676 and ask the
IRS to mail it to you.

* Jerry in Bucks County, Pennsylvania (looking to hire a marketing person):
I can do one of the following, all depending on the person I meet.
A. I am looking to hire a part-time marketing person to help grow Gross
Financial. They will help me get more speaking engagements and a lot of
Client Contacts. After training and trust, the person can work from their
home. Ideal for a semi-retired person with great communication skills
and organization. Hourly wage plus incentives, all negotiable.
OR
B. Hire a full-time person. And if this person is within two years
of graduation, my new company (Axa Equitable) will help pay for this

This is a wildlife education program for all ages . . . they do parties,
camps, schools, social events, etc . . . it's a traveling zoo
The person in charge of it has over a hundred different animals . . . I
haven't experienced it yet, but I saw an ad that looked cool.

* Maryann in New Pennsylvania:
Was just reading your new issue and came across the sleeping problem. I
heard this a long time ago and it helps me:
When you are in bed, make sure your tongue is not pressed up against
your teeth, which may mean you are tensed up. Try to let your tongue
relax back into your mouth down where it belongs. This works for me.
* Marty in Texas: Regarding bump keys . . . saw this on local San Antonio News also.
Seems you can Google anything:

Gotta love the Internet!
* Debbie in New York:
Hosting an Oscar party is tons of fun! I have been doing it for probably
the past ten years. Of course, the Oscar pool makes it interesting and
gives everyone a reason to watch. I often wish I could set up a camera and
just videotape everyone and watch all the reactions and comments about
the winners, fashions etc. It would be hysterical to see it all again when
I am not trying to keep track of everyone's score.
* Keith in Pennsylvania:
Take Nate's advice. 24 is the best show on television in my opinion.
I look forward to Mondays just for 24. The only problem is the withdrawal
that takes place during the off season when it is not on.
* Joe in New Jersey:
I recently visited the Educate, Inc. Careers website at:
http://educate.hodesiq.com/job_detail.asp?JobID=719306
and found a career opportunity that some of your readers may
be interested in. It is for an online teaching position, wherein you
can work from home in any U.S. City.

3. Truth be told
Aaron, my friend's ten-year-old son, asked his mother if she ever
regretted having three boys but no girls.
“It would have been nice to have a fourth child, a girl,” she said.
“But you boys do things with me like bake cookies and do crafts.”
“Yeah,” said Aaron. “But a girl would enjoy it.”

4. Reviews
A. BECAUSE I SAID SO, a romantic comedy starring Diane Keaton as
a mother desperately trying to get her daughter Mandy Moore married,
received as bad reviews as any film I've seen in quite some time . . that
said, I was very pleasantly surprised by it . . . some parts had me
laughing out loud, and the ending touched me . . . I also liked
the accompanying music . . . methinks it is definitely a chick
flick, but one that guys will enjoy nevertheless . . . rated PG-13.
B. STRANGER THAN FICTION is now out in DVD format . . . my
review from BLAINESWORLD #529 follows:
STRANGER THAN FICTION is, at its title implies . . . strange,
yet also both enjoyable and fun . . . there's a nice romantic
plot line, too . . . it is the story about an everyday office worker
who is trying to save his life from his narrator (an author
writing a book) . . . only when he discovers love does his
existence change, and he comes life . . . Will Ferrell,
unusually subdued, is nevertheless quite watchable as
the main character . . . so is Maggie Gyllenhaal as his
girlfriend . . . rated PG-13.
C. I've taken many supplements over the years, as well as
vitamins often because . . . well, I'm not really sure
as the reason why . . . however, after reading Dan
Hurley's informative NATURAL CAUSES: DEATH, LIES
AND POLITICS IN AMERICAN'S VITMAIN AND HERBAL
SUPPLEMENT INDUSTRY, I've stated to revisit
my use of such products that I had previously thought were
"safe and natural."
It turns out that many--if not most--of them are often
untested and unproven . . . what's worse, they are often
tragically unsafe.
Hurley backs up with his claims with a meticulous
job of research . . . in addition, his use of real-life stories
of what has happened to people who used supplements (one
woman burned, another became incapacitated
by nerve damage, etc.) really startled me.
He also is not afraid to mention the names of politicians
who helped push through the 1994 Dietary Supplement Health
and Education Act, a law that he maintains is one of the worst
on he books . . .furthermore, he has this to say about
best-selling author Kevin Trudeau:
Before getting into the supplement business, Trudeau was
indicated in 1988 on seven counts of larceny. . . . In 1990,
he was indicated again, this time for charging $122,000
on credit cards that weren't his own . . . he settled [a 1996 case]
by paying a fine of $10,000 . . . and the next year [2004] he
agreed--in the harshest penalty every extracted by the FTC
against any health product in any setting--not to make any
informationals to sell anything, with one exception: his own
book . . . so Trudeau wrote a book, and by early 2006, it had
sold five million copies.
He also opened my eyes about Dr. Andrew Weil, who has been
featured on a TIME cover magazine story, as well as on
countless TV shows . . . according to Hurley:
Behind his carefully cultivated appearance of impartiality and despite
his 1998 profession that he is not in the business of "selling things,"
Dr. Weil has made a major business of offering his own brand of
premium-priced supplements to consumers, which he only
hinted at in a 2005 Time magazine cover story when he stated, "I take
a good daily multivitamin-multimineral supplement, one that I formulated
myself." In fact, he sells an entire line of supplements under the brand
name "Dr. Weil Select." Shoppers can buy a sixty-day supply of his
"Daily Antioxidant for Optimum Health," containing the high doses
of beta carotene and vitamin C shown in studies to increase the risk of
premature death, for $43.99. Or one can buy thirty days' worth of his
"Memory Support," including the gingko biloba that has been shown
not to improve memory, for $56.10. In fact, none of the dozens of products
he sells has been conclusively proven to do anything more than to enrich
Dr. Weil, or at least his Weil Foundation.
In case you think that there's no good that can come from taking
a vitamin or supplement, Hurley is being objective when he concludes:
Still, for now anyway, fish oil and vitamin D appear to be a decent bet
for the average adult. Let it be recorded, then, lest anyone suggest that
not a single dietary supplement has been found to be both safe and
effective for the masses despite Mr. Harkin's billion-dollar search for
proof: of the 29,000 products now on the market, two look pretty
darn good.
D. I had always been amazed by Orel Hershiser's record
of pitching 58 consecutive scoreless innings in
1988 . . . even typing that number now, I find it
hard to believe that a pitcher could manage to
keep opposing batters from scoring for so long.
Thus when I had the chance to listen to
his book, BETWEEN THE LINES (written
with Robert Wogemuth), I was interested to see
if he would talk about how he was able to accomplish
this goal . . . he did, sprinkling in interesting tidbits
about his personal philosophy toward both the game and life.
This is not a tell-all book . . . Hershiser rarely
speaks bad about any player, coach, manager,
or even umpire . . . in fact, he even points out
that he rarely ever argued about any ball or strike call.
What he does well is emphasize the claim he
makes in the book's subtitle: NINE THINGS BASEBALL
TAUGHT ME ABOUT LIFE.
There's nothing breathtakingly new here, but it still
is the perfect book for any athlete at virtually any
stage of his or her career . . . non-players will
like it too.
And anybody who reads it will come across convinced
that it is the little things in life that can really make
a difference . . . for example, Hershiser rarely varied from
his everyday routine--no matter what was happening around him.
He also seems to be one of the rare professional
athletes who always placed his family over even
his baseball career.

6. Nothing to hide
A rabbi was walking home from the temple and saw one of his good
friends, a pious and learned man who could usually beat the rabbi
in an argument.
The rabbi started walking faster so that he could catch up to his friend
when he was horrified to see his friend go into a Chinese restaurant
(not a kosher one).
Standing at the door he observed his friend talking to a waiter and
gesturing at a menu. A short time later, the waiter reappeared
carrying a platter full of spare ribs, shrimp in lobster sauce, crab rangoon,
and other treif (non-kosher food) that the rabbi could not bear to think
about them.
As his friend picked up the chopsticks and began to eat this food,
the rabbi burst into the restaurant and reproached his friend for he
could take it no longer.
"Morris, what is this you are doing? I saw you come into this restaurant,
order this filth and now you are eating it in violation of everything we are
taught about the dietary laws and with an apparent enjoyment that does
not befit your pious reputation!"
Morris replied, "Rabbi, did you see me enter this restaurant? The rabbi
nods yes.
"Did you see me order this meal?" Again, he nods yes.
"Did you see the waiter bring me this food?" Again, he nods yes.
"And did you see me eat it?" Again, the rabbi nods yes.
"Then, rabbi, I don't see the problem here. The entire thing was done
under rabbinical supervision!"

9. Familiarity
A guy goes to the supermarket and notices a beautiful blond woman wave
at him and say hello. He's rather taken aback, because he can't place
where he knows her from. So he asks, "Do you know me?"
To which she replies, "I think you're the father of one of my kids."
Now his mind travels back to the only time he has ever been unfaithful
to his wife and says, "My God, are you the stripper from my bachelor
party that I made love to on the pool table with all my buddies watching,
while your partner whipped my butt with wet celery???"
She looks into his eyes and calmly says, "No, I'm your son's math
teacher."

10. A quote I like
To speak gratitude is courteous and pleasant, to enact
gratitude is generous and noble, but to live gratitude is to touch
Heaven.--Johannes A. Gaertner (1912–1996), a well-known
professor of art history, and a much-admired poet and theologian

11. Thought for the day
Give thanks for what you have now (NOT just on Thanksgiving)
by Judi Singleton
"If you learn to appreciate more of what you already have, you'll
find yourself having more to appreciate."
An attitude of gratitude brings the angels near. When we are
appreciated, we tend to give more to the person appreciating us.
The angels are not different. So this day of Thanksgiving is an
appropriate time to give thanks for all we have in our lives. The things
we appreciate grow. What our mind dwells on is what grows into fruition
in our lives. We reap what we sow.
In this time of rushing through life, it is easy to not stop and take time
to appreciate what we already have. We are so goal-oriented, we are
always living in the future. We cannot live the future now. The only power
we have is in this moment. Once one realizes the truth of this statement,
then and only then can they begin to live in the now and be grateful
for what they already have. It's vitally important that we not lose sight
of the things that are near and dear-things we all too easily take
for granted.
What we hold in our minds, meditate on, increases. If we focus on
our problems they grow. If we thank the angels and our Higher Power
even for what we call problems then they, too, become blessings--a
challenge maybe, but a chance to overcome and grow. After all, you
created what you call problems; you and only you know exactly what
you need to grow.
If you focus on where you want to be in life, while being grateful
for where you are now, you will expand the opportunities to create
your life just as you would like it to be. I see meditating on our problems
as another form of prayer. When we worry and fret over things, we make
them bigger than they really are, as well as attract more of the same.
That's negative prayer-prayer in reverse.
Gratitude for what we HAVE and what we WANT "appreciates."
Focus today, no matter what is happening in your life, on the here
and now. Be grateful for what you do have and be grateful you are
growing toward where you want to be. Before going to sleep tonight
spend time thinking of three things you are grateful for. This is a
powerful time of day you are in--that half wakeful and half sleep stage.
The mind is easy to program at this time of day.
Gratefulness is a state of mind that should be practiced daily instead
of yearly. Make every day Thanksgiving.

who has lived through many global scares.
"I'm old enough to remember a time when there wasn't an
atomic bomb," says See. "The invention of that thing.gave
rise to leaders of nations on all sides who have been
absolutely unable to resist the temptation to become boogie
men, emotional bullies who constantly threaten us--the
