A quote I like 11. Thought for the day 12. Advance planning department _________________________________________________________ 1. Reflections A. Cynthia, my beautiful bride, and I were again apart for most of the week . . . but before I left for Pennsylvania, we got to see HIGH SOCIETY at the Tryon Fine Arts Center in Tryon, North Carolina. The production was actually better than the movie of the same name (starring Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra and Grace Kelly) . . . I never liked the film; I loved what this community group did with it. All the performers were perfectly cast . . . Whitney Moore was outstanding as Tracy Lord . .. Emily Kocher was adorable as her younger sister . . . and Dean Campbell as Uncle Willie nearly stole every scene he was in. A week later, many of the Cole Porter songs are still going through my head: "Little One," "I Love Paris," "True Love," etc. The good news is that the production still runs through this coming week . . . so if you're anywhere near the area, do what you can to catch it . . . for more information, please click: http://www.tryonearts.org
On another night, we also joined friends for dinner at Frankie Bones in Asheville . . . this was the first time we were there; it won't be the last. Cynthia enjoyed her salmon . . . I ordered pot roast, a rarity for me, and was delighted with my choice . . . our friends both ordered roast beef and said it was excellent. I also liked my salad, in large part because of a tasty bacon dressing that I never had before. The restaurant has a reasonably-priced $13.99 special menu if you get there before 5:45 p.m. . . . our $25 restaurant.com coupon made the meal even more of a bargain. For more information, please click: http://www.fbdining.com
B. "Up North," I managed to join other friends for a production of THE LAST DAYS OF THE DINOSAURS--a comic drama written and directed by my friend Joe Doyle. It is the tale of aging parents and how their family copes with them . . . parts had me laughing; others had me near tears. Marco Newton, getting better and better in every show I see him in, gave a moving performance as the father . . . however, it was Virginia Barrie's work as the mother that really blew me away . . . she was superb . . . and lest I forget, Joe and Cheryl Doyle's cats were in the show toward the end . . . they did a great job, too. On another night, I joined many of my College friends for a belated holiday party at the Brick Hotel in Newtown, PA . . . I liked my chicken marsala and others told me that they enjoyed their meals, too. That's yours truly below, flanked on the left by Josh Rubinsky and on the right by Gloria Gilman:  Perhaps the highlight of the evening was our annual regift
exchange . . . I did well, getting a Joni Mitchell CD in return for some Starbucks coffee and mugs that I never used. For more information about the Brick, please click: http://www.brickhotel.com
And, finally, I managed to check out Jake's Eatery--a restaurant that was mentioned in last week's newsletter. My blueberry pancakes were oh-so-filling--and delicious, too . . . I especially enjoyed saying "hello" to the owner, Steve Jacobs, a former student that I hadn't seen for many years. For more information, please click: C. THANKS to Lisa in Pennsylvania for a fantastic idea. By now, you may have read that I'm trying to get my sabbatical project off the ground; i.e., running a series of smoke cessation programs . . . when I told Lisa about them, here's what she wrote back: Thanks for the information, Blaine. I forwarded this to my company's HR manager, as they have tried to help their employees quit smoking over the past couple years (not by methods I'd necessarily recommend) and have strict policies about smoking anywhere on the premises. I've asked her to post for employees who would like some help. THIS GOT ME THINKING: Feel free to do the same, especially if you live or work in Bucks County, Pennsylvania (though others are also welcome to participate, of course) . . . methinks that HR managers, as well as those employed in Employee Relations offices, would want to share this information with their employees . . . I'm running it below and, also, trying to attach a copy of the actual flyer in case you can download it. PLEASE HELP DEPARTMENT: My sabbatical project is underway . . . as such, I'm looking for 100 people who want to quit smoking. Please share the following information with any of your friends, relatives, students, etc. who could attend three one-hour sessions in Bucks County, PA: Quit Smoking! The Women's Center of Bucks County Community College, in conjunction with the Bucks County Courier Times & The Intelligencer, will be offering a series of FREE seminars to anybody who wishes to quit smoking.

There is only room for 25 participants at each of the seminars. So sign-up will be on a first-come, first-serve basis. Each seminar involves three one-hour sessions. You're expected to attend each of these sessions. Bucks County Comm. College, Newtown 6:30 p.m. each night . . .

BELATED CONGRATULATIONS to two of my talented colleagues at Bucks County Community College for receiving the following two awards from the Lindback Foundation: Denise May--Distinguished Teaching Award; and Erangee Kumarage--Minority Junior Faculty Award. I recently attended a reception, at which both Denise and Erangee spoke of their work . . . I was quite impressed . . . in addition, I got a kick out of what Denise had to say about what happens whenever she teaches time management to her students . . . she thinks to herself that these are really good ideas that she should follow. (I can relate big time!) ***** BLAINESWORLD BEST AWARD ***** This week, it goes to Tom O'Keefe--a professor in the Behavioral Studies Department a Bucks. Tom has long been one of our College's outstanding teachers . . . he is well-respected by both students and colleagues . . . in fact, several years ago he was recognized by the Alumni Association when he was awarded that group's teaching award. I have had the pleasure to get to know Tom in another capacity; i.e., as his role as treasurer for our faculty union . . . he has done an excellent job in that capacity . . . most amazingly, he often seems to get checks paid before they even come across his desk. He has just announced that he will not be running for reelection after over seven years of decided service . . . he'll be missed. Just one more thing about Tom O'Keefe . .. he is the kind of guy who would give you the shirt off his back . . . he never did that for me, yet . . . however, I recall being in his office a few weeks ago . . . I needed to borrow a pen and he gave me his, telling me that it wrote remarkably well . . . he said that was because he had inserted a Parker gel cartridge in it . . . when I went to return the pen to Tom, he told me to keep it . . . the gesture meant a lot to me. Back to Top _________________________________________________________ 2. FYI I utilize something I call a "master index" when I read a book (especially of the non-fiction variety) . . . it enables me to share my ideas with you, as well as with Cynthia and others. Here's what I do: When I begin a book, I'll take a regular sheet of note paper and fold it into thirds . . . that becomes my bookmark. Then as I'm reading, if I come across something of interest on a page, I'll put a small dot to the right of the material that I want to share . . . on my book, I'll put down the page number . . . that way, I can easily find the material again. Sometimes, I might indicate to myself to review a definition so as to not slow down my reading . . . for example, in an excellent book I'm currently reading (EAT PRAY LOVE by Elizabeth Gilbert), I came across this term on page 23: nascent. How it was used--And this experience was bringing a nascent interior shift--told me little . . . so that's the kind of thing I put down to look up at a later date--such as now . . . its definition follows: Emerging; just coming into existence. So now I know! FYI, part 2 * Gloria in Pennsylvania, writing about her brother (running to be a judge in Bucks County, PA): Please consider voting for Gary Gilman for Bucks County Common Pleas Court judge in the May primary. He has been endorsed by both the Democratic and Republican parties and he is expected to receive the highest recommendation from the Bucks County Bar Association. Gary is an extraordinarily compassionate, bright hard working attorney who will apply his high ethical sensibilities and desire for justice to any case that comes before him as a judge. He is a very well rounded, experienced, highly regarded trial attorney who has been a managing partner of his law firm in Newtown for the past 22 years. Gary's advocacy is tempered by his experience as a mediator where both sides of an issue have hired him to help them resolve cases without further litigation. He brings a history of involvement in community activities concerning children, victims, highway safety, the homeless and the needy. He is interested in education evidenced by the fact that he obtained a Masters in Education from the University of Pennsylvania and taught secondary school social studies. Please check him out further on his website: gilmanforjudge.com Particularly read the testimonials about him from some of his clients. You never know when or why you might wind up in court. We would all do well to have a judge of Gary's caliber to consider our dispute. Please vote on May 19, 2009. * Jonathan in Pennsylvania: Volunteers Needed at the Gateway Auditorium, Bucks County Community College, Newtown, PA The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere presented by the Office of Cultural Programming: Friday, April 17 at 7 p.m. We need (4) adult volunteers on Friday, April 17 to help with box office/ushering duties at the Gateway Auditorium stage. Volunteers will need to arrive by 6:00 p.m. show day and will be finished with regular activity by about 8 p.m. Volunteers are most certainly invited to stay and enjoy the performance after pre-show activities have been completed. This is a great opportunity to interact with our community and rub elbows with sketchy show-folk. Please contact Jonathan Lee ASAP if you would like to help out. leej@bucks.edu; 215.968.8087
* Pat in Pennsylvania: As far as I am concerned FEDEX is the biggest rip off in the shipping business!!!!! They are the worst!!!! Why? I have had a number of packages shipped through them where I paid for quick shipment and it took days or weeks to finally get there. They never made good on the fact that I paid to quick ship these even though the seller paid them to ship them to me. I wanted a refund as I paid for quick delivery. Their response? If you read the fine print, they are not responsible to the person receiving the package. Basically, I was told to read the fine print. And it happened multiple times, and they did nothing even after I filed a claim. I had large package shipped to me from Colorado. FEDEX LOST the package. Yes, can you believe it? They lost it. I had to write a letter filing a claim and they basically said too bad and did nothing. I was at a trade show in NYC at the Javitz center. And as the trade show was ending, we came out to the FED EX Kiosk booth inside the Javitz center with stuff we picked up at the show that we wanted shipped home. It was stuff that fit in a small shirt box. The "sales" reps could not have been more indifferent or non caring. They ignored us for a long time. Then they basically forced us into a larger box, which we did not need, and forced us to pay more. I think all they wanted was a tip. Horrible service!!!!! Around here, they have this spin off service. I think its called FED EX Home or something like that? Apparently FEDEX contracts out for these services. It looks like FED EX, but its run by low level contract delivery people. I had a delivery guy here that would wait till like 7 p.m. or later in the evenings to deliver packages. His game was to try to make people think he was going out of his way to deliver the package late at night so he could get a tip. He tried to make people think he was working hard. What a Joke!!!!!! They are the WORST overnight shipping company out there. I go out of my way to NOT use them!! Horrible!!!!!!!!!! I was in the Parcel Place in Newtown and their rates were outrageous. The DHL guy explained to me that from time to time, they act like they have a lock on the rates. He said that I needed to ask to see other shipping company rates. Horrible shipping!!!!!!!!!! I am shocked that you make a positive comment about them. Back to Top _________________________________________________________ 3. Vocabulary word for the day Liquidity Definition: Liquidity is when you look at your retirement funds and wet your pants. Back to Top _________________________________________________________ 4. Reviews A. Kate Winslet won an Oscar for her work in THE READER, but if anything, I actually think she was better in REVOLUTIONARY ROAD . . . it marks her first screen appearance with Leonardo DiCaprio since TITANIC, but don't go expecting a similar romantic tale . . . rather, this is a somber tale about what seems to be the "perfect" couple in the America of the 1950s . . . the reality is quite different . . . the dialogue was excellent, as was the cinematography . . . DiCaprio was also outstanding . . . and Michael Shannon (who received an Oscar nomination for his work) made his few scenes come alive . . . rated R. B. CHANGELING is now out in DVD format . . . my review from BLAINESWORLD #631 follows: Clint Eastwood's CHANGELING is the best film I've seen in quite some time and right now is my choice for an Oscar for Best Picture . . . this is the true story about a single woman whose young son vanishes . . . when the child returns months later, she insists that the boy isn't her son . . . but the corrupt L.A.P.D. disagrees and even puts the woman (Angelina Jolie) in a mental hospital . . . Jolie also deserves an Oscar nod, as does Eastwood . . . he did the soundtrack, too, and his depiction of the 1920s seemed very realistic . . . rated R. By the way, in case you were wondering . . . the title, CHANGELING, derives from fable lore . . . it refers to an ugly or craft little creature left behind by fairies, in place of a child stolen from its mother's cradle. C. I reviewed Jim Donovan's excellent STOP LIVING PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK in BLAINESWORLD #640 . . . in doing so, I recalled an earlier book he had written: HANDBOOK TO A HAPPIER LIFE (see also Section 11). So I went back to revisit what I had written about it and found out that for some inexplicable reason, I had never published a review on HANDBOOK--until now. In a way I'm glad that happened because it gave me the opportunity to read this fine book a second time, and I'm glad that I did . . . it is full of many ideas that can be applicable to anybody's life, regardless of age or profession. Right from the first page, you'll get the feeling that Donovan is talking directly to you as he notes: * This is not a self-improvement book. You are already perfect, right where you are, doing just what you're doing. You can, however, grow and develop further. This book is intended as a handbook for your personal development and growth. I was again hooked right then and there . . . Donovan then proceeds to offer sound, practical advice, weaving in his own personal background . . . when he suggests something, you feel like it will be right for you; for instance: * Write down all the things in your life you are grateful for and when you are feeling down take the list out and read it. When you feel great, add to the list. If you can't find anything to be grateful about, go visit someone in a hospital or homeless shelter and compare your problems with theirs. I also liked how he related things that others do (both car racing and sky diving) to situations that were meaningful for me: * If you ask race car drivers how they are able to get through those tight places without hitting anything, what you will hear is-– "look where you want to go, not where you don't want to go." If you look at the wall, chances are you will hit it. We can use this metaphor in our lives as well. Focus on what you want in your life rather than what you don't want. All too often people spend most of their time and energy thinking about what they want to get rid of--I want to lose 10 pounds, or what they don't want--I wish I didn't have these bills. Try instead to focus on what you do want. I was talking about this with a friend recently and learned that the way sky divers are able to "link up" in mid air is that they look into the eyes of the person they want to connect with. Their bodies then follow and automatically move toward each other! Lastly, Donovan's use of insightful questions got me thinking how I would answer them: * Why, for instance, do people age differently? What keeps some people going strong well into their old age, while others seem to have given up on life and are just waiting for it to be over? I am convinced the difference is having a purpose. We need a reason to get out of bed in the morning. We need something outside of ourselves to keep us going. So thanks to Jim Donovan's encouragement, I will finish this review . . . and see about getting it published at the amazon.com website!

D. Many readers may only know Bob Newhart as a funny guy who starred in some classic TV shows . . . yet before then, he was a stand-up comedian who had several top-selling records. Now if you have no idea what I'm talking about when I use that latter term, then do what you can to get the CD version of SOMETHING LIKE THIS . . . THE BOB NEWHART ANTHOLOGY. You'll instantly become hooked by his classic monologues that gave only one side of a telephone conversation, such as when Abe Lincoln was speaking to history's first spin doctor. ("Lose the beard, Abe.") . Other routines included bus drivers school, retirement party, ledge psychology, rocket scientist, the man who loved Hitler and Ben Franklin in analysis . . . my only disappointment was the one of my favorites, a discussion with Abner Doubleday on trying to sell this new game called baseball, wasn't included. I'm sorry that I was driving when I was listening to the CD, so I wasn't able to write down many bits that I would have liked have shared . . . that said, I was able to recall the following few lines: * I worked for a number of years an accountant in Chicago. I have a strange theory of accounting. I thought if you got within two or three . . . bucks of it . . . but this never really caught on. * Realtors are people who did not make it as used couple salespeople. And here was him as a security guard on the Empire State Building, speaking to his supervisor: * See, there are these planes and they are flying around him . . . and they are shooting at him and they only seem to be bothering him a little bit, so I figured I wasn't doing too much good with a broom. Did I try swatting him in the face with it? Well, I was going to take the elevator up to his head, but my jurisdiction only extends to his navel. You don't care what I do . . . just get the ape off the building. This may complicate things a little—he's carrying a woman in his hand, sir. . . . No, I don't think she works in the building, no, sir. . . . As he passed by my floor . . . she has a kind of negligee on, so I doubt very much she's one of the cleaning women. Even typing that has me laughing out loud! SPECIAL BONUS FOR BLAINESWORLD READERS: You can listen to Newhart's Lincoln routine by clicking: http://www.vgg.com/VGGBlog/2007/02/

LATE NIGHT WITH JIMMY FALLON debuts on Tuesday at 12:35 a.m. on NBC . . . the former SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE star takes over Conan O'Brien's old slot in what promises to be an interesting experiment to see if the station can keep viewers watching from when Leno takes over the 10 p.m. through O'Brien's new show and then Fallon. B. 20/20 features Siegfried & Roy preparing for their first--and supposedly last --performance since Roy Horn was mauled by one of the duo's tigers in 2003 . . . Friday at 9 p.m. on ABC. C. ASHES TO ASHES premieres on Saturday at 9 p.m. on BBC AMERICA . . . it is an offbeat police drama that adds a feminist bent to LIFE ON MARS . . . according to TV GUIDE, it "is a winner for being so fabulously surreal." D. CELEBRITY APPRENTICE is sometimes interesting . . . the show this Sunday promises to be as the celebs must design and costume a comic-book character . . . I'll be curious how long Dennis Rodman lasts . . . 9 p.m. on NBC. Back to Top _________________________________________________________ 6. Missouri folks A man from St. Louis walks into a bar and asks, “Wanna hear a joke about people from Kansas?” The bartender says, “Listen, pal, I'm from Kansas, and I won't appreciate it. The man sitting next to you is 265 pounds, and he’s from Kansas too. And the bouncer, that huge guy there, is also from Kansas. So do you still want to tell that joke?” “No," says the guy from St. Louis. “Not if I have to explain it three times.” Back to Top _________________________________________________________ 7.

As she fumbled for her wallet, I noticed a remote control for a television set in her purse. "So, do you always carry your TV remote?" I asked. "No," she replied, "but my husband refused to come shopping with me, and I figured this was the most evil thing I could do to him legally."

Thought for the day Questions to start your day off right by Jim Donovan* There is a very powerful technique called Morning Questions. When you first awaken in the morning, or in the shower, ask yourself the following questions and, in your mind, answer them: 1. What am I grateful for today? What about that makes me grateful? 2. What am I excited about today? What about that excites me? 3. What am I happy about today? What about that makes me happy? 4. What am I committed to right now? What about that makes me committed? By answering these simple questions, you will automatically direct your mind to positive thoughts. The obvious result is that you will feel better and begin your day in a better frame of mind. An added benefit of doing this simple exercise is that you will begin to look forward to waking up in the morning. You will have conditioned your mind to expect pleasant thoughts in the morning. Many people who claim to be grumpy in the morning are actually that way as a result of asking “stupid” questions like: “Why do I have to get up so early?” This cannot help but put you in a bad space. Morning questions will, on the other hand, increase your chance of having a good day by putting you in good mood first thing in the morning. By using these and other questions you develop yourself, you will experience major shifts in the way you feel and see positive changes occur in your life. I challenge you to do this for 30 days and see for yourself the difference it can make. * Reprinted with permission from my friend Jim Donovan, author and motivational speaker, whose website can be reached by clicking: http://www.JimDonovan.com

The Bucks County Community College Book Discussion Group meets Thursday, March 12, to discuss The Soloist: A Lost Dream, an Unlikely Friendship, and the Redemptive Power of Music by Steve Lopez. It’s the story of how Lopez, a columnist for the L.A. Times, discovers a homeless man coaxing beautiful sounds from a battered two-string violin. Lopez discovers that the man was once a promising classical student at Juilliard, but various pressures—including mounting schizophrenia—caused him to drop out. “With self-effacing humor, fast-paced yet elegant prose and unsparing honesty, Lopez tells an inspiring story of heartbreak and hope,” noted Publishers Weekly. The discussion gets underway at 7:30 p.m. in the Quiet Study Room near the Fireside Lounge in the Rollins Center. For information, contact Michael Hennessey at hennesse@bucks.edu C. Times are tough.
