C. CONGRATUATIONS to George Bruno on his recent primary
election for constable of Perkasie (Bucks County, Pennsylvania) . . . I'm
hopeful that he goes on to win the general election in November and am
confident that he would do an excellent job.

When I asked George about the secret of his victory, he replied:

I was definitely on to something here. Even though I am a Republican
(probably more a Conservative than a Republican), I did well with
Democrats because 1. Constable is a NON-partisan office in practice.
2. Republicans do not hold the torch for conservatism. I am friends
with many Democrat Conservatives. 3 .I dig ALL people regardless
of politics and it shows. 4. Facebook was the backbone
of my campaign.

D. MR. CURIOUS HERE:

We seem to be having a problem with feral cats in our
neighborhood . . . these are not stray cats . . . according
to the Humane Society, there is a difference:

* A stray cat is a pet cat who is lost or abandoned. Feral cats are the
offspring of lost or abandoned pet cats or other feral cats who are
not spayed or neutered.

* Stray cats are accustomed to contact with people and are tame,
but feral cats are not accustomed to contact with people and
are typically too fearful and wild to be handled.

* Whereas stray cats may be reunited with their families or adopted
into new homes, feral cats do not easily adapt or may never adapt
to living as pets in close contact with people.

MY QUESTION:

We're seeking guidance on how to deal with this problem . . . any
suggestions would be much appreciated.

***** BLAINESWORLD BEST AWARD *****

This week, it goes to Moussa Soumare--ice cream scooper
extraordinaire at our favorite place for ice cream in Asheville:
Kilwin's on 26 Battery Park; 828.252.2639.

Whenever you go there, he greets you with a big smile . . . he
then gives you a high-five, but perhaps best of all is what happens
when you ask him to describe a flavor . . . if it is Asheville Mud
(one of my favorites), he'll tell you that it has vanilla ice cream, caramel
and then he gets very expressive and opens his arms wide as he
exlaims "with an E-X-P-L-O-S-I-O-N of chocolate chips!"

You can easily recognize him by the moose hat that he always
wears . . . or by the fact that so many other folks actually seek
him out to get them their ice cream.

As our friend Suzanne told us the other night when she joined
us, he makes the whole visit "a memorable experience."

By the way, all the other employees there are fantastic . . . so, too,
are the owners: Tom and Marcy Gallagher . . . gluttons for punishment,
they just opened their second store in nearby Black Mountain on
116 West State Street; 828.669.6119.

Both stores feature more than 100 varieties of Kilwin's chocolates and
other confections made in the store. The shop also sells 28 flavors
of ice cream, hand-paddled fudge, homemade caramel apples and
unique flavors of popcorn.

2. FYI

I just had the pleasure of listening to an interview of my Aunt
Viv, done several years before she died . . . it had been done
at the request of her children, my cousins Rob and Ruthie,
so that they could have a record of her life . . . and that this
record could then be shared with future generations.

What a great idea!

I recall that I always wanted my folks (and my father, in
particular) to do something similar . . . but for some excuse
or another, it never got done . . . my loss.

If you're fortunate to have a parent or parents alive  . . . or
grandparents, too . . . consider interviewing them and
taping the interview . . . I would imagine that you could do this
or have a child or even a grandchild do this . . . there are various
professional services that do this, too.

Have the interviewee talk about memories as a child, schooling,
their parents and grandparents, jobs, marriages and/or other
relationships, children and grandchildren, hobbies, friends, where
they've lived, etc. . . .you'll be glad that you did this. 

FYI, part 2

* SPECIAL THANKS to Maureen McCreadie for sharing her remarks
from our Union's recent end-of-year party:

It was a special treat to have Bill Heaslip, who served as BCCC Faculty
Federation President for almost two decades, and who taught Blaine and me
much of what we know about union leadership, in attendance. Bill flew in from
Arizona to help us honor Blaine. He came a long way from Arizona, and he
had come a long way from the early days of Blaine's union participation,
about which Bill was less than enthusiastic. Bill's presence says a great deal
about both Blaine and Bill. It was my pleasure to work with both of them.

Blaine and I began on the faculty at BCCC together in 1976

I first negotiated for the faculty in about 1982--before Blaine. He joined
in the next round, and outlasted me--until they brought me in
on the other side of the table. I'm not sure about Blaine, but my plan
had been to stay for a year or two, but with colleagues like Blaine,
why would I leave?

Blaine and I have worked together so long that last week I hired two
faculty members who were born six years after Blaine and I started
at Bucks. Come to think of it, they are the same ages Blaine and I
were when we started. As with Blaine and me, the woman is slightly
younger than the man. OK, only a tiny bit.

Blaine and I have worked together so long that methinks I may have
the largest collection of Blainisms on campus. I had so many email
messages from Blaine that I learned to read his creative typing. 

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  and ??????? have special meaning
for me. But keep in mind that we started working together BEFORE
email existed.

Blaine and I have worked together so long that I have fought with Blaine
more than with my husband--and that was when we were on the same
side of the negotiating table.

Thinking out loud here, we probably disagreed more on the same side
and agreed more on opposite sides than anyone else. The great thing
was that we always managed to resolve our differences, based on
a mutual respect that permeated our working relationship.

Blaine and I have worked together so long that we "wawked" and
"tawked" for miles and hours. On one of the first of many ventures to Tyler
Park, we were so engrossed in conversation that we got lost.  "MM,
do you know where we are?" "No, BG, I thought you knew."  Eventually,
we found our way back, but Blaine was a little bit late for his class,
and my boss had been wondering where I'd wandered off to.

Nobody asked me, but I, for one, will be missing BG.

For all the late night & early morning emails, for all the phone calls,
for all the bugging, for all the caring, for all the dedication, for all the
commitment to making things right for the faculty and for all you
have given us.

Thank you, we wish you the best and backatcha, BG!

4. Reviews

A. UP is the a gem of a film for just about anybody . . . adults will like it, but
so will their kids and grandkids . . . it is the animated story of a
78-year-old balloon salesman (Ed Asner in fine form) who gets to fill
his lifelong dream of a great adventure when he ties thousands of balloons
to his house and flies away to South America . . . but only en route does
he discover there's a stowaway, an annoying 8-year-old scout who can
only get a merit badge if he helps a senior citizen.

There's a five-minute portion toward the beginning of UP that traces
the salesman's life with his wife . . . it is as touching as anything
I've seen in the movies for quite some time . . . whatever you do,
when you see it, make sure you see the 3-D version . . . you'll have
to pay more, but it will be worth it . . . rated PG.

B. REVOLUTIONARY ROAD is now out in DVD format . . . my review from
BLAINESWORLD #648 follows:

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.

C. I don't know if Jerry Weissman is America's top speaking coach
(as proclaimed on the cover of his book, THE POWER PRESENTER),
but I can tell you that the guy knows his stuff . . . his tips
make a great deal of sense, and apparently they work--as evidenced
by the fact that he has worked with dozens of big-name business
leaders, including founding Yahoo! CEO Tim Koogle, Intuit
founder Scott Cook and Netflix founder and CEO Reed Hastings.

What I liked best about THE POWER PRESENTER was its
analysis of actual speeches by such notables as Martin
Luther King, Jr., John F. Kenney and Ronald Reagan . . . but
not only do you get to read what Weissman has to say, he
then proceeds to the show actual clips (via a website that only
purchasers of the book can get).

Even if you're an accomplished public speaker, there's much
in this book that you'll enjoy hearing Weissman's take on . . . for
example, in speaking to a group, he advises:

* Whenever you step up to the front of a room to present or
speak, regardless of the size of the audience-4, 40, 400, or
4,000-pick one person. It doesn't matter who: the person
who greeted you at the door, someone you know, someone
you don't know, a friendly face or an unfriendly face. Pick
only one person.

And then to establish eye contact:

* Every time you pick a person with whom to have a conversation,
look at that person at least until you feel him or her look back at you.
Feel the connection. Feel a click. Look that person straight in the eye.
Establish sincerity.

I also liked the special chapter, "What Every Speaker Can Learn
from Barack Obama" . . . this one point really struck home:

* Obama now tries to make a more personal connection with
voters. In the past, he has been accused of making his campaign
more about himself than about those who come to his rallies.
Now the word "you" is mentioned as much as the word "I."
"You're not heard. They're not listening to what you need,"
he told a crowd assembled at a rodeo site in Fort Madison on a
recent evening. "You deserve a president who is thinking about you."

That said, even if you're not aspiring to become President of the United
States, there's much you'll benefit from by reading THE POWER
PRESENTER . . . it would also make an ideal gift for anybody
needing to improve his or her presentation skills.

D. Quick question: Is the name Cap Ripken, Jr. familiar to you?

If so, you'll definitely want to read his latest, GET IN THE GAME:
8 ELEMENTS OF PERSEVERANCE THAT MAKE THE
DIFFERENCE . . . and even if the name is not familiar with
you, this is a book that you'll want to read and share
with youngsters.

Ripken is the Hall of Fame baseball player who broke Lou
Gehrig's record for most consecutive games played . . . throughout
the book, Ripken gives credit to Gehrig for inspiring him:

* Lou Gehrig and I are tied together with a consecutive-games
streak. The most important trait I have in common, I believe, was a
hard-work ethic. Lou once copied down three maxims that had
to do with hard work. He tried to live by them:

1. Strive and succeed.
2. Early to bed, early to rise.
3. Labor conquers everything.

Ripken also seemed to live by these, along with the following belief:

* In order to be successful and persevere in anything, it all starts with
the right values. You do the hard work. You do it with excellence.
You are honest, sincere, and you give it your all.

For instance, Ripken did that every day in practice. He always
fielded ground balls longer than anybody else, even after he
had many years of success in the major leagues.

I was touched by the fact that Ripken also gave much credit
for his success to his father: Carl Ripken, Sr. . . . even when
it came to shoveling snow, as a child, he was never allowed
to just get by . . . the snow had to be shoveled in just
the right way; i.e., so the entire sidewalk was done (and
not just a narrow path for walking).

The author contends that:

* I just played because I loved the game.

Wouldn't that be great if we all could find something that we
loved in a similar fashion . . . and then applied Ripken's
principles (many of them applicable to any situation)? 

I actually got to hear the CD version of GET IN THE GAME,
which made it even more enjoyable for me--given the fact that Ripken
was the narrator . . . his sincerity came through with every word.

5. TV alert

A. I'll be curious about Conan O'Brien's first night as host of
the TONIGHT SHOW . . . one thing I know, though, is that it will
good to have Andy Richter back on the air (he'll be O'Brien's
announcer) . . . Monday at 11:35 p.m. on NBC.

B. Every guy needs a space to call his own . . . a sanctuary where boys
can be boys, where life essentials include a wet bar, a poker table
and a place to watch the game with the fellas. And maybe even an indoor
putting green! . . . find out how to make this possible on MAN CAVES,
which airs on Tuesdays at 9 p.m. on DYI.

C. SMILE PINKI is an Oscar-winning documentary short about two
impoverished Indian children born with cleft lips whose lives are

THE WALL STREET JOURNAL calls it "documentary making at its
best--a candid yet compassionate telling of two children's journey
from disfigurement to healing, from rejection to
acceptance . . . Wednesday at 7 p.m. on HBO.

D. Methinks I'd rather have Hugh Jackman as host, but I'll still watch
Neil Patrick Harris attempt the job on THE 63RD ANNUAL

My friend felt her body had gotten totally out of shape. So
she got her doctor's permission to join a fitness club and start
exercising.

On the very first day, she decided to take an aerobics class for seniors.
She bent, twisted, gyrated, jumped up and down, and perspired for an hour.
But, by the time she got her leotards on, the class was over.

7. Websites

A. The Bureau of Public Debt, part of the U.S. Treasury Dept., says
more than $16.6 billion worth of unredeemed U.S. savings bonds
have matured and are no longer earning interest. The bureau has
established a website for people to search for a missing bond
by the original owner's Social Security number. To access it,
please click:

http://www.treasuryhunt.gov

Even if the original holder of a bond has died, their heirs can
still redeem it. To do so, click:

http://www.treasurydirect.gov

Most importantly, record the following information: 39R. That's my
jacket size if you find out that you due something. (Hint-hint.)

B. The competition heats up on BRITAIN'S GOT TALENT . . . here's
the semi-final performance of Shaheen Jafargholi:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhBM7lvTDro

Judge Piers Morgan, praised the 12-year-old as being "pound for pound,
the best singing performance we have heard in the semi-finals so far," a
comment which reportedly did not please Susan Boyle (see
BLAINESWORLD #660).

Then there was this performance by Greg Pritchard that has to be seen
to be believed:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-ZjOEk4-dI

And here's the final performance by Diversity, the act that eventually
won the competition:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Tr_Vi0zHEM&feature=related

SAD NOTE:

After coming in second place on "Britain's Got Talent," Susan Boyle
was reportedly rushed to a private hospital on Sunday after suffering
from an "emotional breakdown."

The Sun newspaper is reporting that Boyle checked into The Priory,
a private clinic in London, following her Saturday night loss. According
to the report, "BGT" aides contacted the police to inform them that Boyle
was behaving strangely in her hotel.

C. BLAINESWORLD, the website, remains up and running . . . to view
it, please click:

http://www.blainesworld.net

Past BLAINESWORLD issues can be accessed by going to "Newsletter"
on the left, then "Past Issues" . . . you'll also see a great Search Engine
at the top; e.g., if you want to find a past joke that you knew had
to do with "gloves" . . . I quickly found it in #478:

"I'd like to buy some gloves for my wife," the young man said,
eyeing the attractive salesgirl, "but I don't know her size."

"Will this help?" she asked sweetly, placing her hand in his.

"Oh, yes," he answered. "Her hands are just slightly smaller that
yours."

"Will there be anything else?" the salesgirl queried as she
wrapped the gloves.

"Now that you mention it," he replied, "she also needs a bra and
panties."

9. Jay Leno's last show as host of THE TONIGHT SHOW

I found myself laughing at his monologue when he noted that Presidents
Clinton and George W. Bush were taking part in a joint debate
in Canada and remarked wistfully, "I wish I had one
more day."

He also quipped he was offered a chance to buy his dressing-room for
$40 and then gave NBC a dig over its slumping prime-time ratings: "I'm
betting NBC will be around in three months. That's not a given."

And he noted, “I'm going to a secluded location where no one can find me:
NBC’s prime time.”

Naturally, he harked back to one of his favorite topics when he mentioned
that he had cleaning out his desk on Friday and found "O. J.’s knife--it was
in there the whole time.”

If you'd like to see the whole final show, please click:

 

http://tinyurl.com/nznlgf

LEST YOU FORGET:

Here's just a very small sampling of some of Leno's other
great jokes over the years:

* A Canadian psychologist is selling a video that teaches you how
to test your dog's IQ. Here's how it works: if you spend $12.99 for the video,
your dog is smarter than you.

* The New York Times reporting on a radical new treatment for intensive
care patients: Get them up and out of bed as soon as possible. Is that
new? Haven't HMOs been doing that for years?

* And in New Jersey, the state Senate is working on a bill to legalize
medical marijuana. They say it's the one thing that could actually ease
the pain of having to live in New Jersey, so that's good.

* U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson tried to calm growing fears,
vowing that the U.S. financial markets will remain stable. And he said,
"You can take that to the bank, assuming you can find one that's still open."

* Well, let's see, Lehman Brothers went bankrupt. Merrill Lynch was sold
to Bank of America. See, that's when you know the subprime mortgage
market is bad, even brokerage houses are losing their houses. That's why
they're called brokers. After they take your money, you're broker. You see?"

* The reason there are two senators for each state is so that one can
be the designated driver.

11. Thought for the day  

45 life lessons and 5 to grow on, part 1 of 2
by Regina Brett, CLEVELAND PLAINS DEALER columnist

To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me.

It is the most-requested column I've ever written. My odometer rolls over
to 50 this week, so here's an update:

1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.

2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.

3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.

4. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

5. Pay off your credit cards every month.

6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.

8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it.

9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.

10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.

11. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.

12. It's OK to let your children see you cry.

13. Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their
journey is all about.

14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.

15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don't worry;
God never blinks.

16. Life is too short for long pity parties. Get busy living or
get busy dying.

17. You can get through anything if you stay put in today.

18. A writer writes. If you want to be a writer, write.

19. It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up
to you and no one else.

20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no
for an answer.

21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie.
Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.

22. Overprepare, then go with the flow.

23. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.

24. The most important sex organ is the brain.

25. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.

26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words: "In five years,
will this matter?"

27. Always choose life.

28. Forgive everyone everything.

29. What other people think of you is none of your business.

30. Time heals almost everything. Give time time.

(to be concluded next week)
