1. Reflections
A. Cynthia, my beautiful bride, and I were fortunate:
* To be able to attend an excellent presentation by author Dan Buettner
that was based on his bestseller, THE BLUE ZONES . . . it was all about
the secrets to a long, healthy life.
Buettner calls these secrets "The Power Nine" . . . follow any six of the
following, and you'll live another four to six years:
1. Move: Find ways to move mindlessly. Make moving unavoidable.
2. Plan de Vida: Know your purpose in life.
3. Downshift: Work less, slow down, rest, take vacations.
4. 80 Percent Rule: Stop eating when 80 percent full.
5. Plant-Power: Eat more veggies, and less protein and processed foods.
6. Red Wine: Consistency and moderation.
7. Belong: Create a healthy social network.
8. Beliefs: Spiritual or religious participation.
9. Your Tribe: Make family a priority.
If you'd like to hear the author discuss these secrets in greater detail, please click:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-jk9ni4XWk
To learn more about the Blue Zones community, please click:
http://www.bluezones.com/
And keep your fingers crossed . . . Asheville is one of three finalists to become
the next "Vitality City" . . . if that happens, experts will come to the city to help
make environmental changes to make it a healthier place to live.
At the end of his talk, Buettner called to the stage a local resident
(100-year-old Florence Ready) to get her take on his ideas . . . she
gave everybody in attendance cause for hope when she told us
that she just started doing much of this stuff after she turned 58.
What you can't see in the above picture are her 2 and 1/2-inch heels . . . she's
an amazing, vibrant woman.
SPECIAL THANKS to Park Ridge Hospital for bringing this program
to our community as part of its 100th anniversary celebration . . . although we
were late in registering for the event, we were particularly appreciative
of the help in getting tickets we received from Sarah Thompson and Jennifer Perez.
* To join a bunch of our neighbors on something called a Navitat Canopy Adventure
(see also the BLAINESWORLD BEST AWARD, immediately following Section 1D).
We got to soar through the treetops on sturdy zip lines, traverse sky
bridges and rappel in the mountains . . .what an experience!
That's (l-r): Stuart Kraner, yours truly, Kristi Mizen, Cynthia
Tammy Strange, and Tena and Gary Bien.
To participate, you must be 10 or older . . . in addition, you must weigh
at least 80 pounds and no more than 250 . . . we got a big kick out of the
scale they use to check this out . . . it has no numbers; rather, there are
just two lines and you must fall someplace in-between . . . now that's
my kind of scale I.
For more information, please click:
http://navitat.com/
* To see a fine production of WHAT THE BUTLER SAW at the North
Carolina Stage Company . . . this farce about a botched seduction
attempt stars Charles McIver, who is rapidly becoming one
of our favorite local actors . . . we also liked the work of Rebecca
Morris; she reminded us of a young Julie Andrews.
The play runs through June 6 . . . for more information or tickets,
please click:
http://www.ncstage.org/
B. I also attended my first Critical Issues Luncheon, sponsored by a group
called Leadership Asheville Forum--open to graduates of Leadership Asheville. . . it
was held at McComick Field, and it featured a behind-the-scenes look at the
Asheville Tourists baseball club.
I enjoyed a tasty buffet of ballpark favorites, including hot dogs, hamburgers,
grilled chicken sandwiches and veggie burgers, along with baked beans and
coleslaw . . . afterward, the group got to meet with Brian DeWine, the team's new
president (on the right in the picture below) and Chris Smith, the assistant
general manager/community liaison (on the left).
I was particularly impressed to find out that the Tourists donated nearly
$600,000 to the community last year and, also, volunteered almost 2,000
hours of time.

C. REMINDERS to those in the Asheville area:
As you may have been reading, I was fortunate to have been chosen
as a member of this year's class for the Asheville Citizens Police
Academy . . . the experience has been a fantastic one.
For more information, please read the following email I recently received
from Officer Dunlap--the person in charge of the program:
I can't believe the Citizens Police Academy program is coming to an end
so quickly. I have truly enjoyed getting to know each of you and I hope
you now have a greater understanding and appreciation of police practices
and services. During our second class, I told you it was important to get
to know one another by communicating and sharing questions as well as
concerns. As a community, open communication is vital for continued
growth, well being and accountability for this department as well as Citizens
of the City of Asheville whom we serve.
The Academy depends upon “word of mouth” to spread interest in the program.
If possible, can you provide me with a name and phone number of at least
one individual whom I can call and invite to attend this September’s program?
Please write this down for me and, at some point this summer, call the person
and tell them about the CPA.
IF YOU'D LIKE ME TO NOMINATE YOU (or if you have any questions):
Send an email to bginbc@aol.com and put CITIZENS POLICE ACADEMY
in the subject line.
Also, I'd be pleased to nominate you for LEADERSHIP ASHEVILLE--another
fantastic experience I participated in this past year . . . you can read
more about this program by clicking:
http://www.leadershipasheville.org/
For an actual application, please click:
http://www.leadershipasheville.org/applicants-to-la-29-2010-2011/
For me to nominate you (or if you have any questions), send an email
to bginbc@aol.com and put LEADERSHIP ASHEVILLE in the subject line.
D. CONGRATULATIONS to:
* Deb Geoghan, proud mother of son Joe . . . he
just won the National Forensics Championship in Duo (along with his
duo partner).
* Pat Achilles . . . her illustration was accepted into the Philadelphia
Sketch Club's Phillustration 2010 Show! It's the piece she painted
to celebrate her son's Eagle Scout achievement, and she has reproduced
it as a greeting card and print for others to present to scouting's finest young
men. The show will run from June 4-16 the Sketch Club, 235 S. Camac St.,
Philadelphia . . . for more information, please click:
http://www.sketchclub.org
To see the actual illustration, please click:

You'll see it about halfway down the homepage . . . while you're at in, also
sign-up for Pat's FREE weekly cartoon . . . it will put a smile on your face!
***** BLAINESWORLD BEST AWARD *****
This week, it goes to Joel Hunt and Jeff Anderson--our guides on the
aforementioned Navitat adventure (see also Section 1B).
As you might imagine, we were all somewhat apprehensive about
what we were getting ourselves into . . . Joel and Jeff quickly made
us quite comfortable with the experience through their knowledge,
as well as humor . . . also, we were impressed with their constant
concern for our safety.
Surprisingly, we found out that this was the first time that they
had worked together as a team . . . to us, it seemed that they
had been doing this for years.
When you're in the Asheville area and if you sign-up for Navitat
(a strong recommendation, by the way), request both Joel and Jeff to be
your guides . . . you'll be glad that you did!
_________________________________________________________
2. FYI
When you stay in a hotel, tip the housekeeper $2-3 each day you're
there . . . this individual is often the most overworked, underpaid
and underappreciated person in the facility.
To get even better service, exchange a few pleasant words every
time you see the housekeeper and give the tip on a daily
basis (as opposed to waiting until the end) . . . this also reduces
the chance for your room to be burglarized, in that dishonest
housekeepers are less inclined to target guests they know . . . and if
a thief enters your room and pretends to be you, the housekeeper
will be able to spot the imposter.
FYI, part 2
* Liz in North Carolina (with a REQUEST FOR HELP):
Helpmate, Inc. is a local domestic violence agency serving Asheville
and Buncombe County. In the 30 years of service to the community,
Helpmate has offered a variety of programs that focus on empowering
victims of domestic violence. Through each of the programs offered
at Helpmate, clients are encouraged to design safety plans that fit
their unique circumstances, and to recognize that they are the experts
of their own situations of abuse. The free and confidential services that
Helpmate provides include: emergency shelter for battered women and
their children, a 24-hour hotline, individual and group counseling, court
advocacy programs, and prevention education for professionals, 911
first responders, community leaders, and groups considered at-risk
of being abused.
Helpmate is planning a fundraising benefit event titled “Hope in the
Handwriting” to provide financial support for its much needed programming
and emergency assistance fund. The event will be held on Thursday, July
15, 2010 at Laurey’s Catering in downtown Asheville from 6:00-8:00 p.m.
Not only is the benefit designed to be a fundraiser, but it is also a
“hope-raiser.” The feature of the event will be a project called “Hope
Notes,” a display of hundreds of notes of encouragement written
by members of the community (which will later be given to the clients
at Helpmate who are staying in the shelter and attending support groups).
The project will also invite attendees to write their own “hope notes” to be
distributed to Helpmate clients. Other elements of the event include: a
display of handwritten testimonies from survivors of domestic violence,
a verbal testimony from a domestic violence survivor, educational handouts,
a silent auction, a raffle, door prizes, desserts, coffee, wine, and music
from local performers. For more information and to purchase tickets
in advance, please go to

* John in Georgia:
These days, too many people get their exercise jumping to conclusions,
flying off the handle, dodging responsibilities, bending the rules, running
down everything, circulating rumors, passing the buck, stirring up trouble,
shooting the bull, digging up dirt, slinging mud, throwing their weight around,
beating the system and pushing their luck.--attributed to Staci Layne Wilson

3. Defiance
The parents of a little boy were concerned because they couldn't get him
to eat. After a couple of days of this, the frantic parents took the boy to
a child psychologist.
After hearing the story, the psychologist sent the parents away so he could
work his magic on the kid. He tried tempting the boy with a wide variety
of foods and treats, but the boy refused to eat. Finally in exasperation,
the psychologist finally asked the boy, "Well what do you want to eat?"
The boy, sitting defiantly with his arms crossed, thinks a moment, then
says in a surly voice, "Worms!"
Intent on not being beaten, the child psychologist calmly reaches
over to the intercom and instructs his secretary to go out and buy some
worms. In short order the boy was presented with a heaping plate of worms.
Arms still crossed, the boy demanded, "I want them fried!" The secretary
was sent out again, and eventually returned with a heaping plate of fried
worms.
"I only want one!" the boy demanded. The psychologist calmly pushed
aside all of the worms but one.
"You have to eat half!" the boy demanded. After a moment's pause, the
psychologist cuts the worm in half, grabs a piece with a flourish, and pops
it into his mouth.
Immediately the boy started to cry.
"What's wrong now?" demanded the exasperated psychologist.
Between sobs, the kid yells: "You ate my half!"

4. Reviews
A. SEX AND THE CITY 2 is a watchable sequel, yet one that does
little to make you want to see any more of these four female friends . . . they
somehow wind up in Abu Dhabi and find themselves in a series of misadventures
that will remind you of the old Bob Hope/Bing Crosby "road" movies . . . some
in the film is downright campy, including a musical number featuring Liza
Minelli . . . rated R.
B. VALENTINE'S DAY is now out in DVD format . . . my review from BLAINESWORLD
#700 follows:
Having seen most of the other films "out there," I saw VALENTINE'S DAY with
Cynthia . . . it follows the intertwining stories of a diverse group of Los Angeles folks
as they go through romance or heartbreak in one 24-hour, event-filled February 14 . . . there's
an all-star cast that features Julia Roberts, Queen Latifah, Anne Hathaway, Jamie Foxx and
Shirley MacLaine, among others . . . nobody manages to distinguish himself or herself,
but it's not necessarily their fault . . . the script they had to work with was fair, at best . . . only
one performer stood out: award-winning singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, in her feature film
debut was simply terrible . . . don't rush to see this one, either in the theaters or even when
it comes out on DVD . . . rated PG-13.
SOMETHING NOT TO LOOK FOWARD TO:
This movie did well at the box office; in fact, it did so well that there's talk of a planned
project that will follow the lives of people over Christmas Day. If that does come to
fruition, I'd like to see less characters and more plot.
A better option--make that a much better option--would be for you to rent WITHOUT
A TRACE, the 1983 movie (and not the TV show with the same name) . . . this drama
is about a mother whose 6-year-old son disappears one morning on his way
to school . . . when the case grows cold, all give up hope except for the mother
and the lead detective on the case . . . it is very well-acted by Kate Nelligan and Judd
Hirsch, among others . . . rated PG, though probably not of great interest for anybody
under the age of 12.
C. Reading an author's first novel is always a risky proposition . . . you can
sometimes get stuck with a book that seems like it will never end . . . or
sometimes, if you're lucky, you'll come across an effort that seems to indicate
that this is a writer you think will be around for quite some time.
I think that may well be the case with Jeff Cohen, whose debut novel (THE KILLING
OF MINDI QUINTANA) shows promise of things to come . . . this tale about
a store employee who kills a girl he once dated starts slowly . . . and I had some
trouble relating to the action set in a Philadelphia department store; it just
wasn't believable.
However, the action picks up in the second half of the book as the killer becomes
a jailhouse literary sensation . . . there were many twists and turns, and I was
kept guessing until story's end.
The ending was also the best part about this legal thriller . . . it left me wanting
more . . . or at the least, a chance to see what happens to some of the characters.
D. Ordinarily, I'm not a big fan of espionage thrillers . . . but when Nelson DeMille
(PLUM ISLAND, WORD OF HONOR, etc.) is the author, I'll make an exception.
I have enjoyed much of what he has written, but somehow had missed CHARM
SCHOOL--a book I just heard via CD . . . it's about an unsuspecting American
who accidentally stumbles upon a school where young KGB agents-in-training
are being taught how to infiltrate the United States without being detected.
It took me back to the days of the Cold War, and it also helped remind me
of my one trip to Russia . . . . the plot actually seemed plausible--something that
not always happens in tales of this type . . . and I enjoyed reading about the
main characters and their relationships.
An added plus was the excellent narration by James Naughton.

6. Dog for sale
Whether you own a dog or not, you must appreciate the efforts of this owner to sell
her dog. Read the sales pitch below.
Free to good home. Excellent guard dog. Owner cannot afford to feed him anymore,
as there are no more drug pushers, thieves, murderers or molesters left in the
neighborhood for him to eat. Most of them knew Jethro only by his Oriental street
name, Ho Lee Schitt.

7. Websites
A. THANKS to Sarah in North Carolina for having me check
out this update on the "Social Media Revolution" . . . even if
you've seen the previous version, you'll be amazed at how much
things have changed--even in the past few years.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFZ0z5Fm-Ng
B. This past week's Memorial Day holiday had me thinking about
the death of all loved ones--not just those who gave their lives
in military service . . . some performers have done their best work
around this theme, including Eric Clapton with his classic
rendition of "Tears in Heaven" (about the death of his 4-year-old son
Conor) . . . then there's Brice Springsteen's rendition of "Terry's
Song" and 18 others that you can see by clicking:

9. New bike
Two students are walking across the campus at A-B Tech
and one has a brand new bike. His friend asks about the bike.
“Well, gotta tell ya, the other day I was walking across campus alone
and this gorgeous girl rode up on it behind the Administration Building. As
I got closer, she took off all her clothes, looked at me and said ‘Take what
you want, big boy.’ So I did.”
“Good choice,” his friend said. “Her clothes never would have fit you.”

11. Thought for the day
Tomorrow never comes
by Norma Cornett Marek
If I knew it would be the last time
That I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly,
And pray the Lord your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be the last time
That I'd see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss,
And call you back for just one more.
If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would tape each word and action,
And play them back throughout my days.
If I knew it would be the last time,
I would spare an extra minute or two,
To stop and say "I love you,"
Instead of assuming you know I do.
So just in case tomorrow never comes,
And today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you,
And I hope we never will forget,
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
Young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance
You get to hold your loved one tight.
So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
Why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
You'll surely regret the day,
That you didn't take that extra time
For a smile, a hug, or a kiss,
And you were too busy to grant someone,
What turned out to be their one last wish.
So hold your loved ones close today,
And whisper in their ear,
That you love them very much and
You'll always hold them dear.
Take time to say "I'm sorry,"
"Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's okay",
And if tomorrow never comes,
You'll have no regrets about today.

of over 50 groups in passing the first-in-the-nation Childproof Handgun Bill
that mandates that all handguns sold in NJ be equipped with built-in
technology that prevents them from being fired by anyone except the lawful
owner. You can read more about Ceasefire NJ on the website at:

oil spill, as well as for our remaining soldiers in both Iraq and
Afghanistan . . . while we're at it, include those in Israel and her neighbors
who are seeking peace . . . and perhaps most importantly: Make it
a great week, too!
