1. Reflections

A. Cynthia, my beautiful bride, and I were apart much of the week
due to the fact that she went to Kripalu for JourneyDance
training (see BLAINESWORLD BEST AWARD immediately
following Section 1D) . . . and though her trip home was
delayed a day because of bad weather, she got back just in time
for us to join friends for a fun improv course at 35below in
Asheville . . . that's her with Tom Chalmers, our instructor:
 
Cynthia & Tom
 
We were all very impressed with the way Tom taught
the session . . . he had us laughing throughout, and he also
had us feeling surprisingly confident about what we were
doing as the afternoon progressed . . . we also learned
perhaps the two key words in improv: "yes" and "and," in
contrast to words we should avoid: "no" and "but."

B. On my own, I went with other friends to a minor league
baseball game featuring the local Asheville Tourist vs.
the Greenville Drive . . . it was the first game I've seen
in many years, and it was a lot of fun.

I knew I was in for something special when I called up
for my tickets and the person who answered was Jay
Burnham, the team's radio announcer . . . we had a nice
chat about the area, minor league baseball and Bill Veeck
(one of my marketing gurus/personal heroes).

Game night was absolutely beautiful . . . our box
seats behind home plate were great and for $10 each,
a real bargain given all that you got . . . a great game that
the Tourists managed to win with a late rally, beer
for just a buck and such goofy events throughout
the evening as T-shirts that were shot in the stands,
a mascot race, eating wing contest, etc.

In addition, you could even pose for a picture with your head
on top of a player's body:
 
Blaine
 
Yet the best part happened while we were leaving the
ballpark . . .  . . . we left toward the end of the game and while
walking toward our cars, a foul ball came over the fence . . . I ran
to catch up with it and grabbed it, then gave it to our friends'
son Conor . . . it was the first such ball I ever "caught" at a
game, bringing back memories of when I was a kid and went
to dozens of Mets' games . . . my cousin Blaine (yes, another
Blaine!) always managed to grab balls in batting practice and
somehow I never got one . . . so this one was something special.

C. During the week, I also began using my hypnotism training . . . three
brave friends volunteered to be my first "subjects," and so I worked
with them on such areas as weight loss and nail biting . . . I mention
this because the offer still remains to:

GET IN TOUCH:

If you'd be interested in having me hypnotize you for smoking
cessation, weight loss or anything else you'd like to work on . . . I'm
doing this work in and around Asheville for the time being, but I'm
slated to be in the New Jersey/Pennsylvania area in late August
or early September . . . should you want to work with me, just
drop me email to: bginbc@aol.com and put HYPNOSIS REQUEST
in the subject line.
 
D It was a tough week for celebrities . . . Michael Jackson dropped
dead at 50, and the same day, Farrah Fawcett died from cancer
at 63 . . . then "Pitchman" Billy Mays died, also at 50, and
lastly, comedian Fred Travelena passed away at the age of 66.

Personally, I was saddened to hear about all these deaths . . . yet
to try to put this into some sort of perspective, keep in mind the
following quote: "Pop icons and American heroes are not one in
the same," to quote Bob Shieffer of CBS NEWS.

* Even better, see his entire commentary by clicking this link
from my Facebook friend Patrick in Pennsylvania:

* And on the same subject, Sue in Pennsylvania wrote:

Not sure if this [tribute to Michael Jackson} is of interest to you . . . I follow
the author and have read her books, etc.

Dear Susan,

Today many of us were stunned as Michael Jackson went to his final
resting place.  I don't know about you but I was more than stunned, I was
deeply moved because I have seen him work so hard and so long to be
someone he was never designed to be.

You see when we attempt to live our lives for the acceptance and
opinions of others rather than true to our nature, we bring undue stress,
pressure and possibly even health problems to our body.

As a long time fan of Michael Jackson, I have to tell you I LOVED his
TRUE nature . . .  even though it's not what we saw very often in the
last several years.

I have recorded a special up close and personal video for you to
watch . . . my personal tribute to Michael Jackson, with insights that
will help you realize how important it is we live true to who we are.

Let's learn from Michael's life how it went from being brilliant to tragic.
I know you will be moved as I was and take away some important
insights from watching this.

Go watch it now:

Please, be true to your nature!  The world needs you! And YOU deserve the life
you were designed for!

God Bless You,
Carol Tuttle

more true to themselves.

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

This week, it goes to Toni Bergen, the woman behind the JourneyDance
training that Cynthia went to last week (see also Section 1A) . . . to
quote Cynthia:

About 2 years ago, I did the JourneyDance teacher training with Toni Bergen. 
I never expected to teach, but became inspired when I realized the effect it
had on me. I became so free in the dance. I taught and then stopped. 
Recently, I felt I needed more confidence to continue to teach. 
 
So, I went to re-do the training with Toni. Well, as it can be in life, you
oftentimes get what you least expected (and it is usually much more than
you could have imagined).  
 
I went to sharpen-up my choreographed moves. I came away with
something that I will use in my continued teaching AND in my life. I
came away with using my intuition and trusting myself.  I came away
with trusting that I do not have to do anything alone . . . that the group
will inspire me. That I can and am an amazing teacher . . . and it is 
because I trust that even if  I don't have it planned--particularly if I don't
have  it  planned (life or dancing)--that something . . . call it spirit,
intuition, trust in myself . . . will take over and the forthcoming freedom
and joy will be there. 

Thank  you, Toni, for teaching me that. If I could, I would take your
training over and over because it is a lesson to be learned and practiced
all the time. You teach that by example and by your amazing teachings. 
We are all of us amazing people with unique qualities if we only trust
ourselves and the  process. 

Toni brought me to my heart and my soul, and I am deeply grateful.

2. FYI

If you have a pet, the last sentence in this paragraph
contains information that I would have never thought
to have asked about; i.e., until I read 1,000 THINGS
THEY WON'T TELL YOU (see also Section 4C) by
Jonathan Dahl and the editors of SMART MONEY:

Laura Ireland Moore, an animal law attorney in Portland,
Ore., says she represented a client who took her dog to the
vet after stitches from a routine spaying came undone. The
veterinarian repaired the stitches with metal sutures but
neglected to put a cone over the dog's head to protect the wound
during an overnight stay. The office was unattended through
the night, and by morning the animal had chewed through the
sutures-as well as 15 feet of its own intestines. The agonized
dog had to be put down. The moral of this unpleasant story:
"You should definitely check if anyone will be on the premises
overnight," Moore says.

3. $2.99 special

My friend went to breakfast at a restaurant where the "seniors" special'
was two eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast for $2.99. "Sounds good,"
his wife Julie said. "But I don't want the eggs."

"Then, I'll have to charge you $3.49 because you're ordering a la carte,"
the waitress warned her. 

"You mean I'd have to pay for not taking the eggs?" Julie asked
incredulously. 

"YES!!" stated the waitress. 

"I'll take the special then," Julie said. 

"How do you want your eggs?" the waitress asked. 

"Raw and in the shell," Julie replied. She then took the
two eggs home and baked a cake. 

MORAL OF THE STORY:

Don't mess with seniors! WE'VE (now proudly counting myself
as one) been around the block more than once!!

_________________________________________________________

4. Reviews

A. THE PROPOSAL is a cute romantic comedy, starring Sandra Bullock as
a high-powered book editor who faces deportation to her native
Canada . . . to get out of the mess, she turns to her unsuspecting
assistant, Rob Reynolds, who she's tormented for years . . . it was
predictable in spots and the second half dragged, yet overall
I'd recommend it if for no other reason that to watch Betty White
prove that she hasn't lost a step at 87 . . . make sure you stay
for the credits at the end . . . rated PG-13.

B. PAUL BLART: MALL COP is now out in DVD format . . . my review
from BLAINESWORLD #645 follows:

Saw PAUL BLART: MALL COP for two reasons: 1) A friend had
recommended it; and 2) Cynthia found out that the movie we were
going to see (HE'S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU) was the one she
was slated to see with a friend . . . so we settled on this Kevin
James comedy at the last minute . . . the premise was cute . . . it's
the story about a would-be state trooper who can't pass the physical, so
he instead gets a job working in security at a New Jersey mall . . .the
first half was funny, too, but it tailed way off in the second half
when it stopped being a comedy and instead became a rather
ordinary tale about a group of bandits . . . yet I realize that we
weren't the ideal audience for the film . . . we were accompanied
by a teenager who had a good time . . . I thought James was
OK in the lead role; however, it was the work of Jayma Mays (a frequent
guest on the TV show UGLY BETTY) that caught my attention . . . she
was endearingly charming . .. rated PG.

C. SMART MONEY, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL MAGAZINE
has an addictive column, "Ten Things They Won't Tell You" . . . it
contains information that most folks don't know--and perhaps
never even think about.

Jonathan Dahl, editor-in-chief of the above magazine, and his
fellow editors have now put together many of these tips into
one book: 1,001 THINGS THEY WON'T TELL YOU (see also
Section 2) . . . to cite the subtitle, it's AN INSIDER'S GUIDE
TO SPENDING, SAVING AND LIVING WISELY.

You'll find useful advice from 100 professionals on health care,
education, finance, automobiles, house and home, insurance,
goods and services, travel, entertainment, pets, food and drink,
and a whole lot more.

However, what convinced me that this was a book that I
could rely on was the fact that it cited Courtney Yelle--a good
friend and one of the most knowledgeable guys I know--as one
of the experts:

* Courtney Yelle was in his Bucks County, Pa., yard raking leaves
when a gleaming pickup truck pulled into his driveway. Yelle says
that a clean-cut workman emerged and told him it looked as if his
driveway needed to be repaved-which Yelle admits, was the case.
But before he would commit, Yelle, former director of Bucks County
Consumer Protection, said he'd need a written estimate along
with the worker's phone number and address. The guy said he'd leave
it in the mailbox, according to Yelle, then backed out of the driveway
and disappeared forever.

Yelle says that the "worker" was a seasoned scam artist who
approaches people's homes offering to do jobs at bargain-basement
prices, often on the premise that he has leftover materials from a
nearby project. In reality, if he does the job at all, he'll do shoddy
work with low-grade materials, says Wendy Weinberg, former
executive director of the National Association of Consumer Agency
Administrators. While it sounds like common sense to be suspicious
of solicitors, clearly these curbside con artists can be convincing: Lisa
Curtis estimates they bilk homeowners out of $20 million per year
in Colorado alone.

Some stuff in the book I already knew, but I nevertheless appreciated
the fact that it was included so I could share with others--such as
this tidbit:

* Whether they're candy "honor boxes," wishing wells, or plain old tin
cans, those ubiquitous countertop collection boxes you see around
so many checkouts are often not what they appear. In most cases,
the charities aren't getting all the money people drop into the container;
rather, they're renting out their name to for-profit vendors for a flat fee
or a small percentage of the intake in exchange for posting the charity's
logo. . . .

Most charity watchers agree: Go ahead and toss in your spare change
if you want to, but don't expect it to be doing much for the cause. "If you're
serious about helping the charity," says Daniel Borochoff, "then get out
your checkbook and write them a check."

And, lastly, I appreciated this reminder that I'm amazed so few
folks know about:

* Media Mail service--known as "book rate" until 2001--has been around
for years, but few people use it because it isn't well publicized down
at the local post office. Why not? Because Media Mail is primarily used
by business customers, according to a USPS spokesperson. But anyone
can--and should--use it to mail books, films, printed music, sound
recordings, manuscripts, or computer-readable media including CDs
and DVDs. Just be sure that's all that's in the package: To be shipped
using Media mail rates, a package cannot contain advertising or a letter
to Mom, and the maximum weight is 70 pounds. Indeed, if a postal clerk
is suspicious of a box or envelope's contents, he can open it for inspection.

1,001 THINGS is a book I'll refer to often . . . you will, too, so buy a
copy for yourself and while you're at it, for others you think could
benefit from becoming a more savvy consumer.

D. Ronald Reagan was one of five American Presidents to have kept a
consistent diary about his terms in office and the only one to
record accounts of his life every day--except for when he was
in the hospital recovering from an assassination attempt . . . and
even then, he had this to say the day after being shot:  "Getting
shot hurts."

I had the pleasure of listening to many of his entries in THE
REAGAN DIARIES, edited by historian Douglas Brinkley . . . it
was a behind-the-scenes look at what took place in the Reagan
era, and I found it fascinating.

Regardless of your political affiliation, you'll also enjoy this
book as long as you don't expert anything particularly
profound . . . many of the entries were concise and to the
point, and Reagan does not do much bad mouthing of
his enemies . . . it seems he never cursed or at least not
in these entries . . . and what he did believe strongly in (taxation
is bad, Communism is evil, etc.), he made it well known without
getting bogged down into details or reasons why he felt this
to be so.

What I also got out of this book was his love for his wife Nancy,
as evidenced by such passages as the following:

* When she was away on her frequent "Just Say No" anti-drug
crusade, Reagan wrote in his diary about going "upstairs to a lonely
old house,"

* and noted their anniversary as "29 years of more happiness than any
man could rightly deserve."

* He also stated, "I pray I'll never face a day when she isn't there."

Eric Conger handled the narration . . . his worked added to my
enjoyment of THE REAGAN DIARIES.

6. Attack

At the height of a political corruption trial, the prosecuting attorney
attacked a witness. "Isn't it true," he bellowed, "that you accepted
twenty thousand dollars to compromise this case?"

The witness stared out the window, as though he hadn't heard
the question.

"Isn't it true that you accepted twenty thousand dollars to compromise
this case?" the lawyer repeated.

The witness still did not respond.

Finally, the judge leaned over and said, "Sir, please answer the question."

"Oh," the startled witness said, "I thought he was talking to you."

9. Background music

A pianist was hired to play background music for a movie. When it
was completed, he asked when and where he could see the picture.
The producer sheepishly confessed that it was actually a porno film,
and it was due out in a month.

A month later, the musician went to a porno theatre to see it. With his
collar up and dark glasses on, he took a seat in the back row, next to a
couple who also seemed to be in disguise.  The movie was even raunchier
than he had feared, featuring group sex, S/M and even a dog.

After a while, the embarrassed pianist turned to the couple and said, "I'm
only here to listen to the music."

"Yeah?" replied the man. "We're only here to see our dog."

11. Thought for the day 

My brief life as a woman

The headline is no joke . . . it is the title of a blog entry that is a
MUST read for men, though methinks that women will like it too:

http://tinyurl.com/mr4f44

I'm sorry that I can't just present the whole piece, but copyright
restrictions prevent me from doing so . . . I inquired about getting
permission to run in BLAINESWORLD, but when THE
NEW YORK TIMES asked for $330, I decided to take a pass.

That said, please do take to read the article that begins as
follows (I do have permission to include this material):

As my wife and I sat on the couch one night this past winter, reading
and half-watching the inevitable HGTV, I started sweating hard and my
face got so fevered and flushed that I felt as if I were peering into
an oven.

The blog goes on to describe the symptoms experienced by the
author as a result of his undergoing cancer treatments.
