court . . . he moved things along, was fair and even had a sense

of humor as evidenced by his advice to Cynthia on how to avoid

future tickets: "Stop driving."

From there, we had a nice dinner at Charlile Brown's and then went
for ice cream at Maggie Moo's . . . the evening was capped by
watching a DVD we both enjoyed on our new large-screen TV.
(See also Section 4D.)

The whole day's experience might not sound particularly special in
reading it, but to us it was because as I like to tell Cynthia, "Every
day we have together is special" . . . and we both try to treat it
as such.

C. Over the weekend, we had fun at a barbecue at the home of our
good friends, Gail and Mark, in Lake Hopatcong, NJ . . . they overlook
the water, and the view is spectacular . . . the only problem is that
whenever we go there, we think that we want to live in a similar-type
locale . . . whether we can find one is a whole different story, but
we've started to at least start thinking about it . . . in fact, see
Section 2, part 2 for some emails we've already received on the
topic . . . and please do keep writing with other possibilities for
our retirement.

During the week, I got to attend two interesting presentations.

The first was a breakfast meeting with local labor leaders and Patrick Murphy,
Bucks County's first term Congressman  . . . I was impressed with his
stand on immigration; he said we need to: 1) Tighten borders; 2) Crack
down on people getting paid under the table; and 3) Not reward illegal
behavior with amnesty . . . he further got my attention by his rejection
of a recent budget proposal from President Bush--and the fact that he had
the guts to tell his fellow Democrats that he was doing so before the vote
was taken . . . see below for a picture, left-to-right, of Rep. Murphy,
John Strauss (a fellow Union leader at Bucks County Community College)
and yours truly:

 

 

Later in the week, I got to hear author Ellen Sussman . . . she was
speaking at Borders in West Windsor, NJ, about her latest book:
BAD GIRLS: 26 WRITERS MISBEHAVE . . . I always enjoy
such presentations and am constantly amazed that they
take place so often in the area . . . you just have to keep your eyes
open for announcements from local book stores, libraries, colleges, etc.

I got a kick when she said, "Fiction enables you to write stories
without embarrassing your family" . . . she also indicated that she
became a writer, largely because her parents had an "absolute
belief" in her . . . that's such a powerful concept for us all to keep
in mind when it comes to encouraging others!

D. THANKS to my cousin Blanche for helping solve most of the
problems we were having with the navigator system on Cynthia's
Avalon . . . it was only working from time to time, and for the life
of us, we couldn't figure out why . . . then Blanche told us the
key: You can't set it when the car is in motion . . . I guess it
would have helped had we not skipped over the safety instructions
in the manual!

***** BLAINESWORLD BEST AWARD *****
This week, it goes to Ceci--a representative from Verizon's Loyalty
Marketing Department.

I had called about my ever-increasing cellphone bill . . . he very
patiently reviewed it with me, item by item, then suggested one
very simple way to reduce it; i.e., to actually increase the amount
of text messaging minutes . . . doing so will now enable my daughter
to text message to all the people within the Verizon system
for free (whereas she had to previously pay for each message).

Ceci also was able to give me a very significant credit as the result
of a special promotion that was being run, and he also showed
me how I could increase my monthly allocation of minutes at no
extra charge by entering into a new contract . . . I took his advice
and will remain with Verizon at least for the near-foreseeable future--in
large part because of the fine way that he handled my call.

2. FYI

The email Subject [in email] line is increasingly, and rightly, being
used as if it were a text message. "The meeting is at 6" can be the
entire email and fit in the Subject line. If you do this, it's a courtesy
to add EOM ("End of message") after your brief burst of information.

FYI, part 2

* Arlene in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania:
If you want to stay in Pennsylvania, look at the homes in Flower Mills. 
It's a wonderful 55 plus community.

If you're  thinking about  Florida, may I strongly suggest The Villages.  
This community is growing by leaps and bounds and is a wonderful place
to retire.  There is so much to do each and everyday. Call their toll free
number and get their latest video, which will guide through all the wonderful
features of this place. Been there a couple times and going back the
beginning of August.

For more information about this latter locale, please click:
http://thevillages.com/

* Barbara in Pennsylvania:
I'm sure this issue has come up at your AFT Conventions (because
this injustice is annually an item on the NEA-RA agenda!) . . . if you move
out of NJ, make sure you move to a state allows you to collect both your
pensions AND your Social Security; not all states do.

* Pat in Pennsylvania:
A friend of mine who is close to your age says to stay away from 55
and over age restricted communities. Here's why. First, he feels that
by the time you are in your 80s, there will be a much smaller demand
for age restricted housing as it will be the getting towards the end
of demand from the baby boomers. And if you or your kids try to sell
your home and use the money for your heath care or long term nursing
care, it will be hard to sell because there will be few buyers who want it.

He also feels if you were to leave it to your kids, the value would be lots
less than a traditional house and probably be a boat anchor for them
get rid of. It would be hard if at all possible to convert that type of
community over to traditional housing as they are not set up to handle
families that have four of five cars for husbands and wives and kids'
cars.

Plus the houses are typically smaller and, they typically do not have
things like playgrounds, etc for children. So before you buy one of these
places, be sure to check your options.

I had a friend who bought one of these places and said it was the worst
move he ever made. And remember, when you buy into one of those
places, you are usually the youngest members. So respectfully, don't
expect to get much help or friendship from any of your neighbors nor
have many friends to entertain. (You can only play so many card games
at the community center. After a while it's not much fun.)

A co-worker of mine bought one and he said he never sees his neighbors
and doesn't even know them. I think he spoke to one neighbor. Kind of bad
for emergencies of trying to ask for help or asking someone to look after
your house if you were away. 

I have a college teacher friend who bought one and he had to face a hostile
resident's committee cause he wanted to put a hot tub on his deck. Sadly,
the residents who made up the board had really nothing at all to do so they
had lots of time and energy just to fight him for the sake of fighting him. (What
a bad situation to be in huh?). They felt he would be too noisy! Ha!  

* Marcie in Pennsylvania:
Just saw IN THE HEIGHTS off-Bway. Wow! I think it's closing this week
for an opening in the fall ON Broadway. If you have time this week, check it
out while it's still cheap. 

* Arlene in Croydon, Pennsylvania:
Went to a preview showing of the movie, HAIRSPRAY, tonight at Penns
Landing. It was a fabulous, entertaining, feel good, movie! I knew nothing
about the story since I had never seen the play. I laughed till I cried. Every
time John Travolta appeared as Edna, the Mother of the main character,
the entire audience broke up. Christopher Walken was hilarious as
her husband. How they kept it together without cracking up, I'll never know.
What a wonderful and talented cast. The music and dancing were the best.
When "The End" appeared on screen, the entire audience applauded.
This is definitely a must-see movie.

* Sandy in Pennsylvania:
I love "It's all good." Marty and I used to put our arms up like goalposts
and proclaim, "It's GOOD!" . . .  a little skit taken from THE NUTTY
PROFESSOR where entertainer Reggie was being roasted by Eddy
Murphy for the big split between his teeth. 

* Joyce in Pennsylvania:
I had a situation this week that I thought might be of interest and
help to your readers.

I  bought an HP laptop about 9 months ago from Circuit City. I also bought
the extended warranty. I had a minor problem with the wireless
card. After calling HP and them sending me out another card to replace
myself, it still didn't seem to solve my problem. I told them I wasn't
comfortable doing any other repairs myself and they had me send them
my computer. 

About a week later, they called to tell me that my warranty was voided,
and it would cost me $789.00 to fix my computer. I was shocked. I asked
them why. They told me that I had spilled something all over the keyboard,
thereby voiding my warranty. I explained they must have me confused with
someone else and to please check into it.

Another week went by with them not returning my calls. Finally, I got a call
telling me it was fixed and being mailed back. Much to my surprise, I got it
back with a note saying it wasn't fixed. It was also covered in a pink sticky
mess. Obviously, someone had spilled something on it after it left my
hands. 

I took it over to Circuit City who tried to help. Finally, they had the extended
warranty kick-in, even though it really wasn't effective until the computer
was a year old.  I'm not sure how they did it, but they did. 

The insurance company had me send them my computer. They called later
to tell me they could not fix it and offered me a replacement. I asked if it was
a new computer. They told me no . . . it had a 90 day warranty. I asked them
if my 4-year extended warranty that I had on the other computer was going
to be transferred to this one. The answer was no. I was astounded. I asked
them what if I say "no: to their offer. They said they'd send me a gift certificate
for $789. Amazing how it was the exact amount of the cost of repairing it
by HP. 

I took the $789 and am now able to buy a new computer with a -year warranty
and again got an extended contract. I still don't understand why I buy something
that is good for 4 years and it's voided the second you use it. Maybe you know
the answer or someone in your mailing list. 

But the lesson learned: Always get the extended warranty because when it's
out of your hands, you have no control over it. BTW, I'll never by an HP laptop
again.  But I will buy from Circuit City. They were great.

3. No surprise

One monk has taken a 30-year vow of silence. He is only allowed to break
it once every ten years.

So after the first 10 years, the monk is asked by the head Buddist how he
feels. He replies, "Bed hard."  

Ten more years of silence pass and again the same question. The monk
answers this time, "Food bad."  

Still another 10 years pass, marking a total of 30 and again the
question. This time the monk's final answer is "I quit."

The head Buddhist replies: "We're not surprised. You've been here for
30 years, and all you ever do is complain!"

_________________________________________________________

4. Reviews

A. I found BROKEN ENGLISH to be watchable, but Cynthia seemed
to enjoy it more than I did (and so did my mother, for that matter) . . . it
is a "chick flick" about a single unloved girl who can never seem to
find the right guy . . . it starts out as a comedy, but soon winds up
as a drama about an unhappy woman who must first find herself
before she can fall in love with a guy . . . Parker Posey is excellent
as the main character . . . unrated and probably not for anybody under
the age of 16.

B. In the likely event that you missed AURORA BOREALIS in the
theaters, do catch it on DVD . . . it is a touching drama about
an angry loser (Joshua Jackson) who can't keep a job . . . only when
he takes to caring for his aging grandparents (Donald Sutherland and
Louise Fletcher) does his life begin to turn around, in large part because
he also hooks up with their aide (Juliette Lewis) . . . the acting is superb,
though in particular, I'll long remember Sutherland's performance as the
sickly grandfather contemplating suicide . . . and it is not as depressing
as it sounds; in fact, the ending is quite upbeat . . . rated R.

C. No matter how much or how little you use email, I strongly recommend
that you read SEND (see also Sections 2, 8 and 10) by David Shipley
and Will Schwalbe . . . subtitled THE ESSENTIAL GUIDE TO EMAIL
FOR OFFICE AND HOME, it accomplishes its goal--providing
much useful information for wherever and whenever you need
to communicate electronically.

For example, when it comes to subject lines, the authors
stress the need to always use them. As they point out:

* Make sure they say something informative. Make sure they
don't sound like spam. Make sure they reflect not only the
first item in your message ("your lunch order") but its entire
content ("your lunch order and your court date"). And make
sure you use specific names that are identifiable to the
recipient. (Don't say, "Meeting"; say "Kaleigh's meeting.")

When it comes to font size:
* Common sense also tells you that what you write should be
readable. Twelve-point type is the norm for business, eight-point
is way too small, and sixteen-point and above is inappropriate
unless you're writing for cue cards (or for someone who is
visually impaired). In addition, what you see on the screen may
not be what your sender sees. If you have any concerns, highlight
a portion and check it against your font menu before you send it.
And hope your recipient has a compatible system.

As for addressing those in a group, if there's no succinct way
to address it:

* There is a one-word salutation that is inoffensive, cordial, and not
too casual: "Greetings."

Shipley and Schwalbe even interject a sense of humor in many of their
examples . . . such as this one, in which somebody was added
to an email conversation:

* To: Charlie Brown, Pipgen, Snoopy, Woodstock

Cc: Schroeder

From: Lucy

Re: Halloween Special

Hey guys, we're adding Schroeder to these emails because he's
going to be playing piano on the show.

Note: Lucy called Charlie Brown before sending out this second
email; she knows that he has low self-esteem, and she didn't
want him to take it personally when she unilaterially added
Schroeder to the chain.

I especially liked "the last word" in SEND, in which the
following is stated:

* If you take away only two things from this little book, the
authors sincerely hope it will be these:

Think before you send.

Send email you would like to receive.

Methinks I'll now take that advice and write both Shipley and
Schwalbe an email, telling them how much I liked their short
but helpful book.

D. Heard FIRST, BREAK ALL THE RULES by Marcus Buckingham
and Curt Coffman of the Gallup Organization . . . it was the report
on a massive in-depth study of great managers across a wide
variety of situations, ranging from Fortune 500 companies to
key players in small, entrepreuneurial firms.

It got me thinking about the difference that effective leadership
at the top can make and how, unfortunately, this doesn't
happen as much as it perhaps should.

Many of the ideas I've come across before . . . yet it wasn't until
I heard the spin placed on them by the authors that I came to the
realization that though they were seemingly basic, implementation
of them isn't always quite so simple.

Also, I realized that most of the ideas can easily be applied to great
parenting, great running of virtually any club or organization, etc.

For instance:
* Best managers don't treat everybody like they want to be
treated. Instead, they treat each employee as how he or she wants
to be treated.

And to find this out is easy:
* Just ask!

Among the other valuable tidbits I gained from listening were these:
* Effective managers spend their most time with their best people.

* Great managers know that any attempt to impose one best
way is doomed to fail.

* Never try to perfect people.

* Great managers focus on the future with their people.

* When told an employee was late, great manager almost
always ask why.

Buckingham also did the reading of FIRST, BREAK ALL THE
RULES . . . I was so impressed with this book that I'm now going
to read his other works, including his latest: GO PUT YOUR
STRENGTHS TO WORK.

6. Creative pricing

A grocer put up a sign that read: "Eggplants, 25¢ ea. or
three for a dollar."

All day long, customers came in exclaiming, "Don't be
ridiculous! I should get four for a dollar!"

Meekly the grocer capitulated and packaged four
eggplants. The tailor next door had been watching
these antics and finally asked the grocer, "Aren't you
going to fix the mistake on your sign?"

"What mistake?" the grocer asked. "Before I put up
that sign no one ever bought more than one eggplant."

8. Computer tip

When you're starting to feel overwhelmed by all the emails
you have to answer, try re-sorting your inbox by clicking on
different tabs. If your inbox, for instance, is ordered by
date (Received), re-sort by clicking on Sender, and you may
realize that there are lots of messages from just one person,
which might then be best handled in a single email or a
phone call. Re-sorting can have an added benefit of helping
you see your inbox anew: emails you've been passing over
jump out at you when put in a new context. It's also useful
to re-sort by clicking on Size, which allows you to focus your
attention on the emails with huge attachments that have been
hogging your memory.

9. Settlement on your new home

Here are ten things you don't want to hear
from your real estate agent when you go
to settlement on your new home:

1. "I think unexplained crop circles add a unique flair to
any home's garden."

2. "Actually, it's only the rear portion of the yard that
overlaps the ancient Indian burial ground."

3. "Yes, the last owner did donate the house to the Hell's
Angels, but I'm told that the judge has ordered them not
to come within 50 feet of it."

4. "One bleeding toilet doesn't necessarily mean it's
haunted."

5. "Your neighbor has assured me that, technically, they're
not 'killer' bees."

6. "Even if there was a full-scale mud slide, it's unlikely
that it would reach as far back as your property."

7. "It's quite common for roaches to grow that big even when
not in the presence of radioactivity."

8. "Did you know that the band Grave Raper holds their
practice sessions right next door?"

9. "It's true that they died in the house, but the prosecutor
was never actually able to prove it was murder."

10. "You can barely hear the sheet metal factory at night."

_________________________________________________________

10. A quote I like

Patrick Lencioni, the author of THE FIVE DYSFUNCTION OF
A TEAM, told us, "When I send an email to one person, there's a
95 percent chance I'll get a reply. When I send to ten people,
the response rate drops to 5 percent. When you add people,
you drastically decrease the exclusivity and make people feel
they don't need to read the email or do what you ask." He calls
this the electronic version of the Freeloader Effect.

SOURCE:
SEND (see also Sections 2, 4C and 8) by David Shipley and
Will Schwalbe--a book that you can see I REALLY liked as
evidenced by the fact that I have used it four separate times
in this issue of BLAINESWORLD

11. Thought for the day 

When an old man died in the geriatric ward of a small hospital near Tampa,
Florida, it was believed that he had nothing left of any value.

Later, when the nurses were going through his meager possessions,
they found this poem.Its quality and content so impressed the staff
that copies were made and distributed to every nurse in the hospital.

One nurse took her copy to Missouri. The old man's sole bequest to
posterity has since appeared in the Christmas edition of the News
Magazine of the St. Louis Association for Mental Health.  A slide
presentation has also been made based on his simple, but eloquent,
poem.

And this little old man, with nothing left to give to the world, is
Now the author of this "anonymous" poem winging across
the Internet:

Crabby old man

What do you see nurses? What do you see?
What are you thinking when you're looking at me?
A crabby old man, not very wise,
Uncertain of habit with faraway eyes?

Who dribbles his food and makes no reply.
When you say in a loud voice, "I do wish you'd try!"
Who seems not to notice the things that you do.
And forever is losing a sock or shoe?

Who, resisting or not, lets you do as you will,
With bathing and feeding the long day to fill?
Is that what you're thinking? Is that what you see?
Then open your eyes, nurse . .  .you're not looking at me.

I'll tell you who I am as I sit here so still,
As I do at your bidding, as I eat at your will.
I'm a small child of ten with a father and mother,
Brothers and sisters who love one another.

A young boy of sixteen with wings on his feet
Dreaming that soon now a lover he'll meet.
A groom soon at twenty, my heart gives a leap.
Remembering, the vows that I promised to keep.

At twenty-five, now, I have young of my own.
Who need me to guide . And a secure happy home.
A man of thirty . My young now grown fast,
Bound to each other with ties that should last.

At forty, my young sons have grown and are gone,
But my woman's beside me to see I don't mourn.
At fifty, once more, babies play 'round my knee,
Again, we know children  . . . my loved one and me.

Dark days are upon me. My wife is now dead.
I look at the future. I shudder with dread.
For my young are all rearing young of their own.
And I think of the years and the love that I've known.

I'm now an old man and nature is cruel.
'Tis jest to make old age look like a fool.
The body, it crumbles . . . grace and vigor, depart.
There is now a stone where I once had a heart.

But inside this old carcass a young guy still dwells,
And now and again my battered heart swells.
I remember the joys. I remember the pain.
And I'm loving and living life over again.

I think of the years . . . all too few . . . gone too fast.
And accept the stark fact that nothing can last.
So open your eyes, people, open and see . . .
Not a crabby old man. Look closer . . . see . . . ME!

Author unknown
(if you know who wrote this and/or the source, please let me know.)

A REQUEST:
Remember this poem when you next meet an older person
who you might brush aside without looking at the young soul within.
We will all, one day, be there too!

12. Advance planning department

A. Natalie in Pennsylvania:
The Peace Center is holding an interfaith dialogue, "How Does Religion
Plant the Seeds of Peace" on Thursday, August 2 from 5:30-9:30 p.m.
at the Grey Nuns Academy in Yardley, PA. This dialogue will explore
ideas of peace amongst a diverse body of religious structures. The
Interfaith Dialogue will promote the understanding of the peace through
the exploration of how Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, and
Islam defines this term. Representatives from these traditions will share
their meaning of peace, their active involvement in the peace movement
and how they designed their own peace tree. 

"How Does Religion Plant the Seeds of Peace" will open with a peace
reception with different faiths being represented. Debbie Burns, Board
President of the Peace Center, will lead a Peace Poetry Workshop
in the Peace Garden at the Grey Nuns Academy in Yardley, PA.
Larry Synder will take the poets into a session of Compassionate
Listening--teaching them to listen from the heart, not simply from the
mind. After the interfaith dialogue, there will be a Question and Answer
session with the audience and group activities involving peace. 

Please contact BJ Davis, Executive Director of the Peace Center at
215.750.7220 for further details.

B. Kitty in New Jersey:
SOUND OF MUSIC [at Mercer CountyCommunity College] is great! 
Plays next weekend, too: Fri. at 8. Sat. at 2 & 8 p.m., and Sun. at 2. 

And, you must come and see me in BATBOY at The Kelsey Theatre. 
The show runs July 27, 28, 29, Aug. 3, 4, 5.  It is a really fun show, though
hard to describe. It is based on the old Enquirer-type papers in the
supermarket with wild stories about batboy found living in cave, etc. 

It actually is a show about acceptance, kind of like THE ELEPHANT
MAN or more like EDWARD SCISSORHANDS. It has beautiful music
by the same composer as LEGALLY BLONDE (now the hottest ticket
on Broadway). Six part harmony on some numbers. It is also hysterically
funny.  It takes place in a town in West Virginia called Hope Falls, where
the coal mines closed up and the townsfolk are trying to raise cows on the
side of a mountain and can't figure out why they keep dying. 

I play Mrs. Taylor, a role originated Off-Broadway by a guy! 

Call 609.570.3333 for tickets. Or for more information, please click:

C. Cynthia in New Jersey (see also Section 1A):
I am very excited about a new teacher training that I just completed. It is
called JourneyDance. JourneyDance is a transformative, freeing
movement experience. Using inspiring music from around the world,
you are softly led into easy-to-follow movements. At times you follow,
you move intuitively on your own or you may choose to lead if you are
comfortable. You honor yourself and what you need in the moment. 

It is a form of joy, creativity, connection, community, and self-acceptance. 
The power of the dance experience is used to release old ways of being
that no longer serve you and reclaim new, consciously chosen ways
of being in a truly experiential way. It includes and celebrates all types
of bodies, people and energy levels. No yoga or dance experience is
required. It is an experience not to be missed.
