1. Reflections
A. Cynthia, my beautiful bride, and I have enjoyed our relocation
to Asheville . . . it is a great city, and we love our home, as well
as our new-found friends . . . but after much deliberation, we have
decided to come back "up North" because there's just so much
we miss . . . so effective immediately, we have put our house up
for sale (details to follow) . . . and we are in the process of seeking
a home, probably somewhere in Bucks County, PA . . . that way,
we can be closer to our respective families.
And I'm wondering here . . . should I continue babbling on . . . or
just confess that the preceding was my April Fool's joke . . . what
a wit, huh? (Dim wit? Half wit?)
So that said, we will be remaining just where we are . .. however, because
we truly do miss our friends and family in the Northeast, we will come back
to visit as often as possible . . . we also hope that folks will come
visit us where we are . . . it's very nice this time of year; in fact, it's
very nice anytime!
B. While together, we journeyed to the Brevard Little Theatre on
Brevard, NC to see a production of THE CEMETERY CLUB . . . this
is a cute comedy about three Jewish widows who encounter
a lonely man on one of their visits to their late husbands'
graves . . . toward the end, the play shifts to take a more serious
tone and the result is a positive one; i.e., it made us think about
how it is important to value what we both now have.
We liked much of the dialogue . . . this one line, in particular, we
remembered: "I'm through being a member of a club where half the
members are dead."
All five members of the ensemble cast were excellent.
The play runs through this coming weekend . . . for more information,
please click:
http://www.brevardlittletheatre.com
Returning home, we were in the mood for pizza . . . so we stopped
at Jet's Pizza in Brevard at College Station, next to Food Lion
(828.833.2888) . . . our slices were thin and tasty, just like we
wanted them.
Jet's Pizza is part of a chain that we had not known about . . . however,
it will now be on our radar screen when we next want pizza . . . our
only disappointment is that there doesn't appear to be a location
in Asheville.
When in Pennsylvania, I went with friends to see THE MOST HAPPY
FELLA . . . this was a musical presented by the Jenkintown Music
Theatre in Montgomery County, PA.
I can safely say it is the best community theater production I have
seen in quite some time . . . everything about it was great: the
singing, the dancing, the story, etc. . . . what really impressed me
was the sheer joy that could be seen in the face of every member
of the large cast.
There were also kids in the play, and each one of them
came across as performers--as opposed to being kids on stage
because their parents forced them to be.
THE MOST HAPPY FELLA runs one more weekend . . . if
you're lucky enough to be able to get tickets, do what you
can to get there . . . for more information, please click:

C. CONDOLENCES to Elaine Bilk on the passing of Rose (Lily)
Goldstein, Elaine's mother. Lily was a remarkable woman
who survived the Holocaust and lived a life rich in love
and kindness.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the Jewish
Federation of Greater Philadelphia, 2100 Arch St., Philadelphia,
PA 19103.
D. LAST CHANCE:
You and/or your friends, relatives, colleagues, students, etc. can
still enroll in FREE quit-smoking seminars offered this spring . . . also,
please feel free to share this information with your company's HR
offices . . . see below for a Press Release, put together by my good
friend Jean Dolan (THANKS, JEAN!):
NEWS RELEASE March 27, 2009
Contact: Jean Dolan, Assistant Director of Public Relations, 215.968.8094
Free Quit-Smoking Seminars Offered This Spring
Sessions, to be held at Newtown or Levittown, focus either on an effective
plan outlined in a book or on hypnotherapy treatments
Bucks County Community College Professor Blaine Greenfield knows
first-hand the heartbreak caused by smoking. Within a year, he lost both
of his parents to complications caused by a lifetime of nicotine addiction.
“My dad lived a great life, up until his last 10 years,” says Greenfield.
“That's when his lifelong habit of smoking caught up with him. He had
10 operations, two amputations, and the last years of his life were
very difficult for him.” A year after his father died, Greenfield’s mother
was diagnosed with lung cancer and also died.
So when it came time for Greenfield to take his final sabbatical before
retiring, he decided to dedicate his time to trying to help people quit
smoking. He arranged for the college’s Women’s Center, in conjunction
with the Bucks County Courier Times and the Intelligencer newspapers,
to offer a series of free seminars for people who are ready to give up
cigarettes.
Each series involves three, one-hour sessions. The seminars will be
held at Bucks County Community College, located at 275 Swamp Rd.,
Newtown, on April 7, 21 and May 5, and the Bucks County Courier Times,
Route 13, Levittown, on April 9, 23 and May 7.
Participants can choose between a 6:30 p.m. session, which features
a discussion of the book THE EASY WAY TO QUIT SMOKING, or an
8 p.m. session, featuring hypnotherapy. Both sessions are available
at each location. Participants must choose one method and attend
all three dates.
Greenfield says he hopes the seminars save someone from the
heartbreak of losing a loved one.
“I don't want to see others go through the same thing, so one of my goals
is to help others not go the same route,” adds Greenfield. “If we can get
at least one person to quit, that will be great. If we can reach more than
one person, so much the better.”
It’s not the first time Greenfield has dedicated himself to helping
others quit. In 2006, when he won the prestigious Lindback Award
for Distinguished Teaching, Greenfield used part of the award to fund
free hypnotherapy sessions to help people to give up cigarettes. The
marketing professor will retire in May after teaching at Bucks for 33 years.
To register for the free quit-smoking seminars, contact Bridget Hughes
at 215.968.8254 or e-mail Iplan2quit@aol.com.

than you settled for.”--Maureen Dowd
* Jerry in Pennsylvania:
Thank you for another great issue. You seem to have "it" in tow. How
fortunate for us readers. . . .
When you talk about events up here, does that mean that you will
be attending? It would be good to visit with you and Cynthia.
Your clinics on not-smoking are well known by my decreasing number
of smoking acquaintances. I'm afraid they are going to their reward, coughing.
Looking forward to your next issue.

* Diana in Pennsylvania:
Usborne Books are award-winning educational children's books that make
reading and learning FUN!! More than 1,500 titles incorporate puzzles,
humor, detailed illustrations, hands-on activities and experiments, in
well-made, durable bindings with eye-catching covers and parent-approved
content (No character books!). My daughter loves these books, and being
a librarian, it just seemed smart to become an educational consultant for
Usborne. I earn lots of free books that way for my daughter and make
money on the side. Just by hosting a home book show, I earned $120
in free books! Plus I get to work with schools and libraries to get them
free books and advocate children’s literacy through book fairs and fundraisers.
I look forward to sharing these incredible books with other folks who value
education and children’s literacy. If you know anyone who is interested
in receiving fabulous free books for their personal library or their child’s
school, have them contact me!

RESPONSES TO MR. CURIOUS QUESTION (from last week):
Several readers wrote about Kathy in Florida's concern about
items being mentioned for sale; among the responses:
* Janet in New Jersey:
No worries.
Enjoy. your newsletter. Asheville sounds amazing. You will get us all
to move down there, which I am sure is your goal.
* Pat in Pennsylvania:
What planet does your writer/friend Kathy reside on? Have no idea where
she is coming from . .. am I missing something? Were the things that writers
advertised on eBay adult gifts or something ? I am confused.
To be honest, I have suggested and encouraged more ads in your newsletter.
Why not help friends?
* Maria in Pennsylvania:
As for Kathy not wanting certain items in the newsletter . . . if she's
not interested, she should just skip over it.
I read about your life in NC, but kind of pass over the information
about particular establishments you visit, since I'm not in NC. Put
whatever you want in your newsletter, Blaine. After all,
it is YOUR newsletter!
On a more personal note, I read your item about Natasha Richardson's
family. When Joe passed away in June, I knew that he wanted to have
anything and everything given for someone to have a better life. It was
the most difficult thing I ever did, not because of the actual donation,
but questions you have to answer. I was told that 2 people were given
the gift of sight and burn victims were helped, along with many others.
No, the Gift of Life does not tell you the who, but it's really not necessary.
Several people I know were kind of squeamish about doing something
like that, but I'm glad to say that after they saw the good that was
accomplished they have changed there mind and know what a true gift it is.

One of my checks was returned marked "insufficient funds." In view
of current developments in the banking industry, does that refer

4. Reviews
A. Saw DUPILCITY . . . or make that, tried to see the film . . . I just couldn't
get into it and walked out after one hour . . . it is about two spies involved
in the midst of a clandestine love affair . . . for me, there were far too many
plot turns . . . and I'm not a big fan of a storyline that jumps back and
forth in time . . . I'm usually a fan of both the stars, Julia Roberts and Clive
Owen, but not this time around . . . also, DUPLICITY was written
and directed by Tony Gilroy . . . I saw his last effort, MICHAEL
CLAYTON, and somewhat liked it--but not to the extent of it
getting seven Oscar nominations . . . after I wrote my review,
several readers complained that they hated it . . . if you were
one of them, definitely don't see his latest . . . rated PG-13.
B. SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE is now out in DVD format . . . my review
from BLAINESWORLD #639 follows:
SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE is the story of a street kid who lands an
appearance on India's version of WHO WANTS TO BE
A MILLIONAIRE? . . . when he does better than anybody
thought would be possible, the police take him in for
questioning . . . his life story unfolds during this process,
and it is an amazing one that will keep you on the edge
of your seats . . . you won't recognize any of the stars, but
don't let that stop you from seeing this film . . . stay for
the credits, too, for a lively musical number featuring the
entire cast . . . rated R.
C. I remember in my dating days, I would ask for advice--or at
least an opinion--from women . . . if they were unmarried,
that was even better because that was the type person
I wanted to meet.
Steve Harvey in ACT LIKE A LADY, THINK LIKE A MAN
provides similar advice for women . . . he contends that
when it comes to relationships, many can't figure out
why men tick . . . this happens because they're asking
other women for advice when no one but another man
can tell them how to find and keep a man.
Harvey, who was one of the stars in THE ORIGINAL KINGS
OF COMEDY (a film I liked very much), does an excellent
job in letting women inside the mindset of a man . . . I found
myself frequently nodding as I would read what he had to say
about such topics as shopping:
* We'll go if you make us and it's the only way we can spend
time with you. But it's not what we want to do. Think about it;
the Men's Department is almost always on the first floor, by the
door, and always one of smaller sections in the store. There is
not a juniors department, no couture department, none of that. It's
so we can get in and get out. You never walk in and see men
rummaging through the sales racks and holding shirts up to their
chests and openly asking if they'd look better in the blue or the
green. We go in knowing exactly what we want, and come out with
it. Rarely anything more. In and out: that's what we like about
shopping. Getting in, and getting out.
As for kids, Harvey presents this easy way to determine if the
new man in your life will be good with them:
* If he actually knows something about kids and likes them, he'll be
able to start and hold a conversation with a six-year-old; the biggest
test of someone's children skills is whether they can talk to kids in a
way that will keep them engaged and elicit a response. If he freezes
up and acts like he's on the witness stand--he just can't think of
anything to say or ask--then chances are his intense reaction is a
sign he's just not all that good with children.
The book concludes with an informative q-and-a section . . . this
one, in particular, caught my attention:
WHAT'S THE INTERNATIONAL MAN SIGNAL FOR "I'M
NO LONGER LISTENING TO YOU"?
Once a man gives his answer to whatever question you're asking
(or he thinks he heard, even if you never asked one), he's probably
not listening to you anymore. Your cue is when he gives an answer.
As far as he's concerned, his solution will fix whatever it is you're
talking about, and if you're still talking after that, he's not listening
anymore.
If you're looking for the ideal gift for any single woman, you
won't go wrong with ACT LIKE A LADY, THINK LIKE A MAN . . . even
married women (and guys, too) will pick up some useful suggestions
from what Harvey has to say.
D. I was pleasantly surprised that I liked THE RHYTHM OF LIFE, written
and read by Matthew Kelly, as much as I did.
Ordinarily, I'm not big on books that synthesize Christian
theology--or any religion, for that matter . . . yet Kelly, an
Australian-born, Cincinnati-based minister does it in such
a way that any reader can find what he terms "the perfect
combination of rest, activity and peace" that will make it possible
to become "the best version of yourself."
What a great concept!
I liked the examples that he used, many of them drawn from
his own life . . . in addition, I liked the fact that each chapter
was presented in a brief sermon-like essays that got me thinking
about many of the points he raised.
Just to cite a few of them:
* Whether you're 6 or 60, you cannot change one day of your
past. But you can change your future.
* Relationships thrive on one thing: carefree timelessness.
* Life is short. And you're dead a long time. Live passionately.
* The challenge is to have fun doing work.
* We don't need more time, we need more energy. Energy is our most
valuable resource.
* Successful people just have better habits.
* There are 6 billion people now on the planet. And 5.9 people go
to bed every night starving for 1 kind word of appreciation.
Lastly, there was this idea that I think we should all try to implement:
* Make it a habit of making somebody's day. Every day.

7. Websites
A. Looking for a little inspiration for yourself or someone else? The
following website has an assortment of FREE videos that methinks
will be just right when you're in need of a pick-me-up:
http://www.simpletruths.com
In fact, I'm getting just that by watching "Every Monday Matters,"
which can be found by looking on the right side of the above
screen . . . or even easier, just click:
http://www.everymondaymovie.com/
B. If you love Paris (and plenty of other cities, too) in the springtime,
please click:
http://CityDailyPhoto.com
The website started out as a way for one man to share his vision of Paris
with the world, but soon grew to over 900 photography blogs that document
daily life in places as distant as Accra, Ghana and Auckland, New
Zealand . . . Asheville is even included, though I noticed that they are
looking for somebody to take over for that city in case anybody is interested.
C. BLAINESWORLD, the website, remains up and running . . . to view
it, please click:
http://www.blainesworld.net
For a FREE subscription to one of my favorite online publications
(after BLAINESWORLD, of course), click "Blaine's Best" on the
left and then "This Is True" . . . you'll get syndicated Colorado
humorist Randy Cassingham's report of bizarre--but true--news items
from legitimate newspapers from around the world . . each story ends
with commentary by Randy, a tagline which is humorous, ironic
or opinionated.
For example, there was this one taken from the This Is
True archives:
Hot Hot Hot
The Firefighters Historical Society in Winnipeg, Man., Canada, are
planning a new museum in town to hold their antique fire equipment
and memorabilia. They even have a site: an old firehouse. However, the
building does not meet fire codes. The Society is raising money to bring
it up to current standards, but they had better hurry: the building is
the third firehouse on the site. The first two burned down. (AP) . . . The
third time’s the charm.

8. Computer tip
I'm still using Internet Explorer 7 as my browser, but that said,
I should tell you that version 8 is now available . . . it can be
downloaded for free by clicking:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer/default.aspx?pkw=internet%20explorer%208|&vendor=google&ocid=iSEM_G_IE8&mtcr=b|2753034820&refcd=go24ebe70d2d
If you download it and find that a website doesn't load properly, it's
probably because older versions of Internet Explorer used some
non-standard, proprietary techniques for rendering Web pages . . . you
can try to get around this problem by clicking the compatibility
button in IE8 . . . it can be found in the top toolbar, just to the
right of the of the address field (when the browser detects you are
on a page that requires it).
MR. CURIOUS HERE:
What browser do you use and/or recommend; e.g., if anything
other than IE7? And why? I'm particularly interested to find out
if anybody likes Firefox, Google Chrome or Opera.

9. Thoughtfulness
Two guys were talking at work.
"I've got a problem," said the first one.
"What is it?"
"My wife has done it to me again. I'm supposed to buy my mother-in-law
a present for her birthday, from the two of us. And I am fresh out of ideas.
I mean it’s HER mother, why can't she buy it?"
"What did you buy her last year?" the other one asked.
"Last year I bought her a VERY EXPENSIVE cemetery plot."
"Hmmmm, hard to top that one," said the other.
The two guys couldn't come up with anything. So the son-in-law
didn't buy his mother-in-law anything for her birthday.
When the big day arrived the next weekend, she was a bit upset.
At the family gathering for her birthday, she announced out loud
to everyone, "Thank you all for the wonderful gifts. Too bad my daughter
and son-in-law weren't so thoughtful!"
Thinking quickly, the son-in-law responded, "Well, you haven't used
the gift I gave you last year!"

11. Thought for the day
Ancient Chinese fable
A monkey and a fish were caught in a terrible flood and were being swept
downstream amidst torrents of water and debris. The monkey spied
a branch from an overhanging tree, and pulled himself to safety
from the swirling water.
Then, wanting to help his friend the fish, he reached into the water
and pulled the fish from the water onto the branch.
The moral of the story is clear: Good intentions are not enough. If you want
to help the fish, you must understand its nature.
