Cynthia, my beautiful bride, and I completed the remaining steps to become official Southerners . . . we got both our cars inspected, then registered . . . so next time you see them, you'll notice the North Carolina plates! B. There's always much to do at Biltmore Lake, the community where we live . . . every few months, there's something called "Dinner for Six" . . . you rotate going to different folks' homes, and you also rotate what part of the meal you bring . . . on Friday, we hosted one such event and provided the main course . . . our neighbors provided the appetizer and dessert. I asked one of them, Chris, to provide the recipe she used for the Peach Upside Down Cake that knocked our socks off . . . she graciously responded as follows: We enjoyed meeting you too. Thanks again for a lovely time and lots of laughs too! I have attached the recipe, but I have some caveats. Since I am more a cook than a chemist, I have never followed the recipe religiously (which explains my use of peaches--about 5 of them, peeled--rather than pineapple in last night's version). I almost never use the coconut either, although if you like coconut, it's probably good with the pineapple version, but maybe not with peaches. I don't think I've ever made the pineapple version with canned pineapple, as I far prefer the fresh variety, and it doesn't have to be cut into spears either, which I have never done. I like it cut into rings, with the cherries inside the hole of the ring. I skip the almonds too, but if you like that idea, go ahead and use them. If the only brown sugar you happen to have is the dark brown variety, go ahead and use it; it's just fine. If you prefer using butter rather than margarine in the first step, go ahead - I did last night and I think it has a superior flavor. I have always used a cast iron skillet to make this cake so I have no idea how it would work in another kind of pan, but you do need to use something at least 10" in diameter and at least 2" deep. I know the recipe says a 9-inch skillet, but mine is 10" and it overflowed a little anyway with the peach juices bubbling up yesterday. If you try it, let me know how it comes out! I've been making this cake occasionally for over 40 years--in the same cast-iron skillet --and I've never had a dud . . . not yet, anyway! You do need to be careful when it's time to turn it over . . . do follow the steps regarding the 3-minute cool-down on a rack, and make sure that the edges are well separated from the pan before you attempt the upside-down part. When it's time to do the "flip", put an overturned plate over the cake, hold it with one hand, and, using the skillet handle, overturn it onto the plate. You might have to tap the bottom of the skillet a few times before you pick it straight up, but it should work. Good luck! Pineapple Upside Down Cake 3 Tablespoons margarine 1 cup coconut ½ cup light brown sugar 1/3 cup heavy cream ¼ teaspoon ginger 1 can (No. 2) pineapple spears, drained 9 maraschino cherries 10 blanched, peeled almonds 3 eggs, well beaten 1 ½ cups sugar ¾ cup milk 1 ½ teaspoons butter 1 ½ cups sifted flour 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt Oven temperature: 350 degrees Baking time: 30 minutes (about) Servings: 8 Melt the margarine in the bottom of a skillet (9 inch). Sprinkle the coconut around the edge of the pan forming a circle. In the center of the pan pour the combined brown sugar, cream and ginger. Arrange the pineapple spears, cherries, and almonds in a pattern over the mixture. Set aside. Beat the eggs until thick and lemon-colored. Gradually beat in the sugar. Heat the milk and butter to boiling. Add the sifted dry ingredients alternately with the hot milk mixture. Pour over the prepared mixture in the skillet. Bake in a moderate oven until a cake tester inserted in the center comes away clean. Remove to a rack; let stand three minutes. Loosen edge of cake with a spatula; turn upside-down on serving plate. Serve in wedges. On Saturday, we attended a "New Member" gathering . . . this was still another way to make friends . . . at this event, I was also asked to become involved in the Social Committee--something I just might do. C. I've started to attend meetings of the Book Special Interest Group, held at the Center for Creative Retirement . . . each month, under the capable direction of Jack Ingersoll, two different books are both reviewed and discussed by members . . . Barbara Weatherall did a fine job telling us about SERENA, a novel by Ron Rash, about a woman everyone loves to hate . . . and Carol Ingham made THE WORST HARD TIMES by Timothy Egan come alive as she described how tough life was in the Great Plains during the Dust Bowl . . . I've even volunteered to present at an upcoming meeting . . . stay tuned for details. D. SPECIAL THANKS to Susan in New York and John in New Jersey for helping me find out how to change my Facebook user name . . . consequently, if you'd like to become a friend to me there, all you have to do is click: http://www.facebook.com/username
And don't forget to invite me to become my "friend" if you'd like to reach me there. ***** BLAINESWORLD BEST AWARD ***** This week, it goes to Nancy Sneider from Friends 4 Feral in Asheville; 828.301.3377 . . . since Cynthia has been working with her, I'll let her tell the story: Nancy has been an amazing contact in support of helping stray/feral cats and kittens. Our community had a mamma, poppa and three feral kittens roaming in the immediate neighborhood. Nancy volunteers her time (while holding a full-time job) to help trap, neuter and release feral animals. This helps the population from increasing. She has answered every call promptly, giving much needed information in the process. She gave us the traps we needed, guided us in the use of them and even kept the kittens we trapped over the weekend as we trapped them too late on a Friday. Nancy then works with the Human Alliance (828.252.2079), the group that actually does the spaying and neutering. She donates her free time to help so many animals. She deserves to be acknowledged. Thanks again for your many contributions! Back To Top _________________________________________________________ 2. FYI Your vision board First and foremost, never underestimate the power of the mind to create the vision you hold. Second, creating a Vision Board is one of the most fun things you can do to begin creating the life of your dreams. You can get some poster board or do as Chris does and paste your pictures on a large mirror. The advantage of the latter approach is that it's easy to add and change pictures over time. Janet pastes her pictures in a notebook so she can sit and look at them from time to time and take them with her. Whichever approach you take, get a big pile of magazines on topics related to your passions and start going through them. Or you can search the Internet to find the pictures you want. Cut out pictures of the things you want to be, do, or have and paste them on your Vision Board. Put the board somewhere where you'll see it daily. You have created a simple set of pictures to remind you of what you choose to create in your life. Remember that mantra we taught you? What you put your attention on grows stronger in your life. A Vision Board is one of the easy ways to keep your attention on the things you really want to grow stronger in your life. SOURCE: THE PASSION TEST (see also Sections 2, 4C and 11) by Janet Bray Attwood and Chris Attwood FYI, part 2 * Sally in North Carolina (with a REQUEST FOR HELP): My husband's band's name is Buster. Bob plays bass. Check out their website at: www.bustertunes.com
Since their guitarist is such a wiz, they play a lot of what they call guitar-legend rock like Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn and Eric Clapton. In fact the band is named for Jimi, as Buster was his childhood nickname. The website for the contest they're in is: www.wncmagazine.com/lastbandstanding
You can vote every day until June 24. Check it out and see what you think. * Jean in Pennsylvania: Here’s my friend Stan's post [that I thought your readers would find of interest]: The STAR WARS' fan film that I co-produced was rejected by the Atom.com fan film challenge. You can view it for yourself at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9b_m4YBfN6w
and help us go viral by passing it along. * Tom in Pennsylvania: Here's a little bit of info I picked up, but first a related brief story. Last week, I bought an Apple computer. Read a bit online and got the Mac Mini. Went to BCCC Bookstore and purchased Office 2008 for Mac for $20 + tax. The lowest price I've seen is $119 on eBay. I love using it, and it is really VERY user friendly. Anyway, now the info I picked up. Microsoft is coming out with a new operating system to replace Vista. It's just a Beta version now and goes by the name of Windows 7. They had so many problems with Vista that they had to ditch it. In fact when I looked at some PC computers they were offering the option (free) to revert to Windows XP, the previous system to Vista. I had to laugh because it shows just how accurate the MAC-PC ad really is. GREAT MINDS THINKING ALIKE: They usually do, too, when it comes to Tom . . . he's one of my friends whose opinion I always value and is often on target with his insights . . . with respect to the above email: 1. Before you purchase any software, do check with your local college bookstore (if you are a student, staffer or have any other connection with the school) . . . you can often get software deals that will save you megabucks . . . we're fortunate to have an excellent manager, Willie Coleman, at the bookstore at Bucks . . . if you have any Bucks affiliation, contact him at: colemanw@bucks.edu or via phone, 215.504.8529. 2. I checked and found out that Windows 7 is to be released on October 22 . . . for more information, please click: http://www.microsoft.com/oem/english/software/win7.mspx

* John in New Jersey: There is an ad rep I deal with from the AC weekly. Like you, he is picking up and moving to Asheville. I sent him a copy of BLAINESWORLD to help him acclimate You are now officially working for Asheville Welcome Wagon! WHY NOT? I've had worse gigs in my life . . . this one, though, is one methinks I'll enjoy . . . in fact, I'll enjoy it more if "y'all" (readers and friends) visit and then come to stay permanently. * Cecile in Pennsylvania (in response to a question I asked her about a Facebook post): Chubby's is in Plumstead, PA, where we live. It's an ice-cream shop located inside of a converted dairy barn. The ice cream is really good--from what I hear. I actually never eat anything besides the fat/free sugar free stuff, which is still pretty good. Come and visit it next time you are in town! * Roger in Pennsylvania: I notice you're using more graphics these days. Loved the Noah's ark one. * Todd in New Jersey (commenting about a place for massages in Asheville that charges between $29-37 for massages, depending on package): Makes me want to move South. A good massage here is more than $60 an hour. Found a place here in Hamilton that goes for $45; my wife negotiated $40 because she referred another client to him. KEEP IN MIND: Everything in life is negotiable . . . then read Herb Cohen's classic book on negotiations, YOU CAN NEGOTIATE ANYTHING. * Bridget in Pennsylvania (with a REQUEST FOR HELP): Once again, I am taking part in the 60-mile Breast Cancer 3-Day walk in October, and once again I am asking for your help. This year I must raise $2300 in order to take part. This year the walk will be more personal for me as my sister-in-law lost her battle against this disease and died in February at the young age of 52. So many of us have been touched by this cancer and without a cure, an estimated 5 million Americans will be diagnosed with breast cancer--and more than 1 million could die over the next 25 years. This year, I will walk in memory of Sandy and all the other brave women and men who deserved a lifetime. I will walk so my daughters will not have to walk and I will walk because I can. Over the last two years, I have had an incredible experience participating in this event. I have raised over $5,000 and met so many wonderful friends along the way. We have trained, laughed, cried, stretched, drank more water than I care to think about, rubbed Bengay on muscles you didn't know you had, taken more Motrin than the doctor advised, but it was all for a good cause. So please help me in my fundraising efforts and make a donation to support me. Just follow the link below to visit my personal fundraising webpage. If you do not want to donate online, you can download and print a donation form from that page and mail in your donation. I really appreciate your support. Best, Breda or sometimes Bridget PS.

He asked his mom, "Where'd we get him?" His mother replied, "He came from heaven, Harry." Harry says, "WOW! I can see why they threw him out!" Back To Top _________________________________________________________ 4. Reviews A. IMAGINE THAT is a family comedy that kids will like--and their parents, too . . . it is the tale of a divorced father who loves his daughter, but has little time for her . . . yet when her imaginary world proves helpful to him in the business world, he starts taking her more seriously . . . Yara Shahidi is adorable in her first role, and Eddie Murphy finally comes up with an effort that helps display his comedic talents . . . I also liked the work of Thomas Haden Church as Murphy's rival . . . rated PG. But don't believe me ; take a kid or grandchild and see for yourself . . . in watching it, I was joined not only by Cynthia, but also our next door neighbor and her adorable son Connor . . . when asked for his opinion of the movie, he gave it a thumbs up. B. Now out on DVD is WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS, a romantic comedy about a couple who meet and don't fall in love when in Las Vegas . . . however, they have a wild night that winds up with them being married . . . and $3 million richer as a result of hitting a slot jackpot . . . none of it is overly believable; however, that said, it had me laughing throughout most of the film . . . I liked the chemistry between Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher, and Rob Corddry steals most every scene he's in . . . rated PG-13. C. Imagine being able to discover your passions and then living your life according to what matters most to you . . . that's the premise behind THE PASSION TEST (see also Sections 2, 10 and 11), an informative book by Janet Bray Attwood and Chris Attwood. The authors present a simple test that enables you to determine your top five passions . . . with that information and the Attwood step-by-step action, you learn how to align your life accordingly. As to what it means to live a passionate life: * Exciting, fulfilling, thrilling, on fire, purposeful, turned on, motivated, entertaining, easy, fun, unstoppable. It's a life aligned with destiny. If that sounds too good to be true, the book shows you exactly how it can be done through many stories . . . this one, in particular, caught my attention: * A young girl who collected autographs of famous people was at the airport waiting to board her plane when she saw a crowd of people standing around a small man in a white robe. She knew this man had to be someone well known because of the large crowd around him. She went up to one of the people standing nearby and asked who the man was. She was told, "That's Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, a great Saint from the Himalayas." The girl excited ran up to Maharishi and immediately asked for his autograph. Maharishi took her pen and paper, looked her straight in the eyes, and said, "I will give you something much more important than my autograph." And on the piece of paper he wrote one word: Enjoy. What was the message Mararishi was conveying? The whole purpose of life is to enjoy. When you are not enjoying you are out of the flow of life. You are missing your purpose. I also liked the book's second part, in which several famous people were interviewed with respect to how they created the life they wanted . . . among those featured were Nani Ma, Debbie Ford, Richard Paul Evans, Stephen M. R. Covey, Marci Shimoff and Dr. John Hagelin . . . I particular liked Jay Abraham's comment about how he changed things around: * Today one of my top passions is having balance in my life. I used to be a workaholic and monstrously committed. I'd work eighteen hours a day, seven days a week, and hove meetings at two in the morning. Now, though, if my wife calls and says, "Let's go to lunch," unless I have a very, very important meeting, I'll stop and do that, because in the scope of forever, that's more important. I want balance--economic, intellectual, spiritual, physical, sexual--all kinds of balanced stimulation at a lever that's very healthy. Perhaps best of all, there a great listing of resources at the very end . . . some 18 pages of people and programs that the authors know who can provide further support to live a passionate life. THE PASSION TEST's subtitle says it is THE EFFORTLESS PATH TO DICOVERING YOUR LIFE PURPOSE . . . I wouldn't exactly call it effortless, but any time spent going through the process will be well worth your time. D. Heard A LESSON BEFORE DYING by Ernest J. Gaines, a poignant novel about life in a small Cajun community in the late 1940s that got me thinking about how tough things were for certain members of this country--even in this century. A young black man named Jefferson is at the wrong place at the wrong time. By accident, he accompanies two men who attempt to rob a liquor store. Firing breaks out, and though he is an innocent bystander to what happens, he is the only one left standing at the end. From the beginning, he knows what the outcome of the trial will be. As he states, "I was not there, yet I was there. No, I did not go to the trial. I did not hear the verdict because I knew all the time what it would be." His godmother realizes that there is no escape from death. So she enlists Grant (the local school teacher) to help her condemned relative get ready for death . . . so he can approach it with his head held high. Grant's story then takes over . . . his teaching in impossible conditions, his struggle to get away from the South that he despises and his growing friendship/admiration for Jefferson. I won't give away the ending, lest to say that it was one I'm still thinking about--even though I finished the book a good way ago . . . A LESSON BEFORE DYING will remind you of TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, which certainly isn't a bad thing . . . if you read the latter when you were younger, you might now want to revisit it . . . but only after you first read the former. Back To Top _________________________________________________________ 5. TV alert A. AMERICA'S GOT TALENT has its season premiere on Tuesday at 9 p.m. on NBC, followed by a second show on Wednesday at the same time . . . Piers Morgan, Sharon Osbourne and David Hasselhoff return as judges . . . I'll miss Jerry Springer as host, though will be curious as to how comic Nick Cannon does as his replacement. B. THE MUSIC INSTINCT: SCIENCE AND SONG airs on Wednesday at 9 p.m. on PBS . . . check local listings because PBS times and dates often vary . . . this documentary has neuroscientist Daniel Levitin and musician Bobby MCferrin lead an exploration that reaches back into deep time to answer the question: Is musicality unique to humans and, if so, what evolutionary advantage did it confer? . . . according to THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, "There isn't a boring moment here, and not only because a river of music runs through it all, illuminating little lessons on the physics, biology and chemistry of sound. There's so much going on, so many mysteries probed, that each person who watches probably will remember the program differently." C. THE PHILANTHROPIST premieres on Wednesday at 10 p.m. on NBC . . . a rich bad boy ditches his party-boy lifestyle to risk his neck--and billions--for others . . . sounds A bit like an update of THE MILLIONAIRE (that great drama anthology series that aired on CBS from 1955-60). D. HUNG debuts on HBO on Sunday at 10 p.m. on HBO . . . the title says it all; it's a comedy about a high-school gym teacher moonlighting as a male escort.

He kept it up until a hunger came along and shot him. The moral: When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut.

Computer tip Do you ever get that dreaded message, MAILER-DAEMON . . . Returned mail: see transcript for details? It means your mail did not go through and when it happens, I personally get annoyed. It has been happening far too lately when sending stuff to folks on verizon.net, though I've also gotten some of this from earthlink.net . . . and far too often from comcast.net as well. When it happens, here's what I recommend that you do on your end: 1. Check typing of the address. Often, I'm the one who made the mistake when it came to the address. (Sometimes, it happens when my address book automatically fills-in an address--using a past one that had been incorrect.) 2. Resend the original email. Sometimes, it is a temporary thing. 3. If it keeps happening, I contact my email server; e.g., AOL (via the Help option) to let the problem be known. In addition, I forward at least some of the return mail to AOL by sending an email to: postmaster@aol.com. 4. I also forward the same email to the postmaster at the other server; e.g., postmaster@verizon.net, postmaster@earthlink.net or postmaster @comcast.net. 5. In the case of Verizon, there's also another email address I write: whitelist@verizon.net. 6. If I can reach the intended recipient of my email, I will call that person and ask that he or she contact his or her server to let it be known that there is a problem. 7. I do my best not to spam others. I rarely send out an email to more than 15 folks at a time, and when I do send such mailings, I always use the bcc option; i.e., so nobody else can see the names of those getting my original email. Back To Top _________________________________________________________ 9. Budget cuts Times are bad everywhere. In fact, budget cuts to the military have reportedly forced training teams to start doing mock combat using no explosives, guns or basically any equipment whatsoever. Thus the following training scenario: The Sergeant in charge tells his recruits that they are under imaginary fire and asks what to do. All of the recruits bar one scatter to get down behind "stuff" in order to get into positions to return fire. The Sergeant notices this one recruit standing out in the open, quite relaxed and unfazed. Yelling, the Sergeant asks "What the devil do you think you're doing? You're under fire!" So the recruit takes one step to the left and remains still. Now the Sergeant’s really annoyed. He yells again, "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? You're under imaginary fire, take cover!" The recruit turns to him and replies, "I'm taking cover behind this imaginary tree, Sergeant!" Back To Top _________________________________________________________ 10. A quote I like The key to happiness is to discover it in every moment, not to wait for it to arrive with the achievement of some future goal.--Janet Bray Attwood and Chris Attwood in THE PASSION TEST (see also Sections 2, 4C and 11) Back To Top _________________________________________________________ 11. Thought for the day When I REALLY like a book, I'll cite it four separate times in this newsletter . . . . thus you can tell my reaction to THE PASSION BOOK (see also Sections 1, 4C and 11) by Janet Bray Atwood and Chris Atwood, which contained this interview with author Marci Shimoff: "When people are deeply happy they bring a sense of purpose with them wherever they go, whatever circumstances they're in. So if they're changing the oil in the car, they bring a sense of joyful purpose even to that. "The statistics on people retiring are quite profound. When people retire they very often die. And why do they die? They die because they've lost their sense of purpose in life. Our purpose helps bring us our joy. "I love to tell this story--the happiest person I've known in my life was my father. My father loved what he did. He was dentist, and he loved being a dentist. He retired at age seventy-two, reluctantly, and he knew the statistics about what happens to people when they retire. "So he said, 'Well, I better find myself something else to do, some other purpose, something else I love.' He analyzed what he loved about dentistry and realized it wasn't about putting fillings in people's mouths. He loved working in intricate ways with his hands, in ways that he felt were artistic. "So at age seventy-two he took up needlepoint, and he became a master needlepointer. He loved doing needlepoint! I remember when he was about eighty-five I went home one day to visit and he had just begun the biggest and most intricate needlepoint I have ever seen. Here's an eight-five-year-old man beginning this huge project. "I said to him, 'Dad, how long is this going to take you to finish?' And he said, "Honey, I figure at the pace I'm going at, it's going to take me about four years." An eighty-five-year-old man beginning a four-year project--but he had a sense of purpose. And did he complete that project? You bet he did! "He completed it, and I think it was that feeling of being present in the moment, bringing his love and his purpose, his passion, to what he was doing that enabled him to make exquisite needlepoint. He actually has won needlepoint awards throughout all of California. "Feeling a sense of purpose in whatever we're doing, at all times, not matter what age, is so critical to our happiness. And being happy allows us to bring joy to whatever it is we're doing." Back To Top _________________________________________________________ 12. Advance planning department A.
