Thought for the day 12. Advance planning department _________________________________________________________ 1. Reflections A. Cynthia, my beautiful bride, and I had the pleasure of hosting her brother Alan for a few days on his first visit to our place in Asheville . . . we had a fun time, showing him around. On one day, we went to DuPont State Forest in Brevard to hike and see the several beautiful waterfalls that are located there . . . that's the three of us (Alan is on the left) at the beginning of our trek: ![]() For more information about this locale, please click: http://www.dupontforest.com We also went into nearby Hendersonville to have dinner at the Black Rose Public Hose . . . the food was pub-like (quite good, too) and portions were generous . . . for more information, please click: http://www.blackrosepublichouse.com From there, we went to one of the Monday night Street Dances that are held throughout the summer . . . when they asked for volunteers, Cynthia and I actually got up and did some old-fashioned clogging--or make that, we attempted to do some . . . for more information, please click: http://www.historicehendersonville.org B. Perhaps the high spot of my week was when I journeyed to Marlborough, MA for the annual conference of the National Guild of Hypnotists (see also the "Blainesworld Best Award," immediately following Section 1D). I've been to a lot of conferences in my life, but this was by far the best . . . I actually attended just about every workshop, including one on the very last day at 3 p.m. This was the first Guild event I have attended; it certainly won't by my last. I learned sooooo much, especially when I got to meet and learn from such top professionals as Don Mottin . . . that's me with him at his booth: ![]() C. At one full-day workshop, I received special certification in the field of smoking cessation . . . Jacob Blimblich was the presenter, and he was excellent. At another workshop, I came up with ideas on how to respond to folks who have questions about what I'll be doing. MR. CURIOUS HERE: I'd be very much interested in your reaction to the following two statements: * When asked what I do, I'm thinking of responding: I'm a hypnotist, and I help you lose your baggage without going to the airport. * When asked: Will you make me do something I don't want to do; e.g., sound like a duck? I would reply: What does a duck sound like? Person would reply: Quack. (Or something like that.) My response: See, you did that . . . and I haven't even hypnotized you yet! D. I caught a big break on the van back to Logan Airport . . . my traveling companion was William Mitchell, who I had heard (and admired) at one of the sessions . . . he really knows his stuff, and he was most gracious in sharing many of his ideas and technique with me . . . my only regret is that he practices hypnosis and trains students in Illinois . . . if he were closer, I'm sure I would want to take additional coursework with him. MY OFFER REMAINS: Let me know if you'd like to be hypnotized for smoke cessation, weight reduction or any other habit you want to kick . . . as you may know, I'm in the process of becoming a certified hypnotist . . . so I'm making this FREE offer . . . (if "up North") attend a group session on Tuesday, August 25, in Newtown, PA at 6:31 p.m., then a private session . . . (or if in NC) work with me at a mutually convenient time . . . either way, email me if interested . . . please use this address: bginbc@aol.com and put "SPECIAL INVITATION" in subject line. ***** BLAINESWORLD BEST AWARD ***** This week, it goes to Eric Newhall--a member of the Member Services Department of the National Guild of Hypnotists (see also Section 1B). When I was deciding whether to register for the annual conference, Eric was a big factor in helping me make my decision to attend . . . he answered all my questions, and I was particularly appreciative of the fact that he was never pushy. In addition, I got to meet him personally at the conference and found him helpful there as well . . . he answered still more of my questions (about various books and other materials that were being sold) and, in general, helped make me excited about becoming a member of this fine organization. I should also mention that all the other Guild staffers did an excellent job in handling registration and other details . . . one other employee, Toni, was most helpful to me when it came to buying tickets for the various programs.

FYI Beware if you ever get the following email or text message: NSFW . . . if you don't know what it means, join the crowd . . . I didn't either until I clicked: http://netlingo.com/
According to THE NEW YORK TIMES, this is one of the best online slang sites . . . I agree. And if you're too lazy to check, NSFW is shorthand for "Not safe for work" . . . you'll find more than 2,000 other terms there, including: UG2BK: You got be kidding GBTW: Get back to work NMP: Not my problem PIR: Parent in room GFTD: Gone for the day FYEO: For your eyes only BI5: Back in five minutes DEGT: Don't even go there FOR MORE INFORMATION: THE WALL STREET JOURNAL ran an excellent article on this topic on August 5 ("Quick! Tell us what KUTGW means" by Stephanie Raposo . . . you can read it for the next seven days by clicking: http://tinyurl.com/otat8p FYI, part 2 * I was delighted to read the following article about Natalie Kaye, my good friend from Bucks County: http://tinyurl.com/ow7ktd Even if you don't know Natalie, please read it if you want to be inspired as to what can be done in life--at any age. * Howard in Florida: Among other things, I am an “early adopter” (Amazon’s words, not mine) of the Kindle reading device from Amazon. In checking books I would like to have available for download to my Kindle, I came across your review of Choosing Civility. Anyway, I thought you might find a recent post at my blog “Communicators & Communications” of particular interest as relates to Dr. P.M. Forni, and in a way to the book you reviewed: http://tinyurl.com/n5hp9e * Bill in Connecticut (commenting on a name used in a joke in last week's issue): Bertha is a female Germanic name, from Old High German bertha meaning "bright one." It is quite different from nicknames used to demean someone. Also, my mother's name. Sometimes used by prejudiced people as a stereotype. A prejudice is an implicitly held belief, often about a group of people. Race, economic class, gender or sex, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age and religion are other common subjects of prejudice. It is my hope that all prejudices will some day be illuminated by the glaring sun of truth, tolerance, and sensitivity. MY TWO CENTS: My apologies to Bill or any other reader if I offended them with the name that I used in that particular joke . . . it was certainly not my intent . . . however, that said, I should mention that I did not come up with the name used in that or any other joke that I run; i.e., it was used by the original author . . . and I guess any name could be ridiculed if that was the intent of the original joke . . . that was not the case here. * Sally in North Carolina: I really enjoyed 500 DAYS OF SUMMER. It's a charming movie. * Cathy in Pennsylvania: We really, really need people to volunteer to staff the table at the Grange Fair In Penns Park, PA. If you have never been there before please volunteer your time at the CFPA table and then check out the rest of the fair. We are providing free parking passes so you don't even have to pay to get in. You can link to the website here: http://www.grangefair.org/ The theme this year is abolishing nuclear weapons. We will have some great handouts for you to give to people as well as pinwheels for the kids. They estimate that 60,000 people walk through the fair every year so this is great exposure for Coalition for Peace Action. We need you to help spread our message of peace. We like to have two people at the table at all times if we are able. The shifts we still need people for are: Thursday August 13 6 p.m. until closing Friday, August 14 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. to closing Saturday, August 15 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. and 6 p.m. to closing Sunday, August 16 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Please consider volunteering your time for this event by emailing me at: cfpabuxmont1@aol.com. * Barbara in Pennsylvania: You did it again! Check it out: Debra Winger and David Keith were also outstanding in this film that has as fine an ending as you'll ever see . . . rated R. Why didn't you just leave it at: Debra Winger and David Keith were also outstanding in this film... rated R You bring the ending of a really good story into the "beginning" of the film this way...... I love your recommendations, but the story is ruined a lot of times when you comment on "the ending" or "you'll be surprised in an area of this movie." It takes the suspense and throws it out the window!! I'm waiting to see what you mean and lose focus!! * Maria in Pennsylvania: I read where you use a "No Hassle" card; that to me means Capital One. Beware of that card and that company. They can do nasty things if you're late by hours. I have a friend who really got in a mess with them. She was laid off from work, so she called them to cancel the card and to work out a payment agreement. They told her they don't do that. With interest and penalties (she eventually could not pay the minimum), they told her the only way to handle the situation was to increase her limit, thereby increasing her debt! Others were much more accommodating--including utilities, and that is saying a lot for PECO and PGW! Her credit was saved--except for Capital One. Capital One is also known for checking credit ratings of everyone with good credit. Constant checks can lower your credit rating. Consequently, if there's one company you want to stop getting offers from, it's them. Beware of suggesting that card to anyone. * Andrew in New England (and Germany, too): I just wanted to let you know that my book LEISUREVILLE: ADVENTURES IN A WORLD WITHOUT CHILDREN (Grove Atlantic) has just been released in paperback with a dandy new cover to boot! MY RECOMMENDATION: Loved this book when I reviewed it in BLAINESWORLD #609 . . . it is a "must read" for anybody approaching retirement age (or already there) and who might be thinking of moving into a 55-and-over community . . . I know it had a big impact on our decision; i.e., not to move into such a development. Back to Top _________________________________________________________ 3. Wired The preacher was wired for sound with a lapel microphone, and as he preached, he moved briskly about the platform, jerking the cord as he went. Then he moved to one side, getting wound up in the cord and nearly tripping before jerking it again. After several circles and jerks, a little girl in the third pew leaned toward her mother and whispered, "If he gets loose, will he hurt us?" Back to Top _________________________________________________________ 4. Reviews A. JULIE & JULIA is almost a great movie . . . it's a comedy/ biopic about Julie Child and the woman who attempts to recreate all her recipes--and blog about them . . . Meryl Streep is fantastic as Child; methinks she deserve at least another Oscar nomination for her performance . . . Stanley Tucci, as always, was great in a supporting role . . . Amy Adams was cute as Julie; however, her part of the film was just not as strong as the other part . . . rated PG-13. B. 17 AGAIN is now out in DVD format . . . my review from BLAINESWORLD #657 follows: I've always liked films that ask the question: What would you do if you got a second chance at life? So I thought I might like 17 AGAIN, given that its premise had a middle-age guy getting a second chance to right the big mistake that he made as a kid. Yet overall, I was disappointed with it . . . although there were a few funny parts, the whole thing felt contrived . . . and the old guy (Matthew Perry) who become young (Zac Efron) didn't even look remotely alike. . . . yet that said, I did like Efron's work--along with that of Leslie Mann as the Perry character's wife . . . rated PG-13. C. I'm prejudiced toward Jeffrey Zaslow. I have been a longtime fan of his articles in THE WALL STREET JOURNAL. And his previous book, THE LAST LECTURE, was one of my favorites of the past few years. So when I read an excerpt from his latest effort, THE GIRLS FROM AMES, I knew that was something else by Zaslow that I had to read . . . it's another winner. This is the touching and true story of 11 girls who were friends since childhood in Ames, Iowa . . . they all stayed in close contact as they grew older and with the exception of one girl who died in her 20s, still remain close friends. Zaslow, both a husband and father of several daughters, seems to "get" these women in a way that surprised me . . . I first wondered how he, as a guy, could have such insight . . . then as I read more into the book, I was also surprised that I grew to care for these women as much as I did. I was moved by many of the passages in THE GIRLS FROM AMES, such as when one of the girls left for college: * Marilyn was near tears. "But you'll be so far away from me." "No, don't think of it that way," her dad told her. "Here's what we'll do. We're going to keep you at the end of our fishing line. And if you ever need anything, you just give a little tug and we'll reel you back in." Then there was this insight on how the girls were able to stay as friends: * The girls are proud that they resist getting into political arguments or combative philosophical debates. That would defeat one of the reasons they get together. As Kelly explains: "When I am with them, I am reduced to someone who simply experiences joy in the moment. It is like walking into a party where everyone knows each other and everyone is having fun. My gut aches from laughing when I am with them. How often do any of us experience exhilarating moments of happiness? So consider this: Every time I am with these women, even when mourning brings us together, I am lifted up with joy." Lastly, toward the end, I was moved by this note that one of the women went to another when she learned of her cancer: * I am standing before you and saying with absolute certainty that next summer we will again climb mountains together. And if you become weary, I will carry you. When we both start to stumble, our sisters will be there, walking beside us, ready to catch us and help carry us up that mountain. As you go through this deeply personal journey, there will not be one moment when you are alone; not one moment when you are without unconditional love. We are always with you, Angela, always beside you. D. Enjoyed the CD program, JUMP AND THE NET WILL APPEAR--written and read by Robin Crowe. The author, a speaker, entrepreneur and guitarist, contends that making a few simple changes will bring about quantum leaps in our performance . . . he then proceeds to share many entertaining stories, detailing how he went from a struggling musician to national recording guitarist. As a result, I gained an awareness of what Crowe considers are the keys to being successful: * The first . . . is to develop great habits. Among the many other useful tidbits I gained from listening were these: * Leave yourself no option to finish what you have started. * We get satisfaction when we overcome our fears that are holding us back. * If you have a powerful goal and a big enough reason why, you will find a way to accomplish anything you can dream of. * Define your values and then live by those values. * When we reach out and share our blessings, we receive the richest blessing of all--a sense of meaning and purpose during our stay in this world.

THE LOST SON OF HAVNA is a documentary about Red Sox pitching great Luis Tiant's return to Cuba after 46 years of exile . . . notes THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, "It is the sounds and images of his return to Cuba that are most poignant and elevate the film to far more than a sports documentary." . . . Monday at 10 p.m. on ESPN; repeated on August 23 at 8 p.m. on ESPN CLASSIC. B. NEIL DIAMOND--HOT AUGUST has the singer in a Madison Square Garden concert . . . Friday at 8 p.m. on CBS. C. WOODSTOCK: NOW AND THEN is a new documentary that, according to TV GUIDE, is "filled with terrific vignettes, ranging from comic to tragic--all usually involving drugs--which capture the chaos and spontaneous musical bliss that a new generation of fans can only dream about" . . . Friday at 9 p.m. on VH!. D. MAD MEN has its season premiere on Sunday at 10 p.m. on AMC . . . enough said . . . in unlikely event you've never seen the show before, be there! Back to Top _________________________________________________________ 6. Polite conversation A little old lady was sitting on a park bench in The Villages, a Florida over-55 community. After a few minutes, a man walked over and sits down on the other end of the bench. Attempting to be polite, the woman asks, "Are you a stranger here?" He replies, "I lived here years ago." "So, where were you all these years?'" "In prison," he says. "Why did they put you in prison?" He looked at her, and very quietly said, "I killed my wife." "Oh!" said the woman. "So does that mean . . . you're single?" Back to Top _________________________________________________________ 7. Websites A. To compare travel prices on 13 different websites, your best might well be the following: http://tinyurl.com/mvtqmr Included are Priceline, Travelocity, Orbiz, Hotwire and a whole lot more . . . but make sure you check fees . . .they often vary and so, I recently saw a low price--only to find out that it was more than offset by other, rather hefty charges. Two other suggestions: * If you use AOL, check "AOL travel" for some good deals . . . or if you don't use AOL, click: http://travel.aol.com/?icid=navbar_Travel Other service providers offer similar deals. *Also check individual airlines . . . sometimes, but not always, you can get great deals--often at the last minute.

It is a spin on a similar entry that appeared in BLAINESWORLD #183. (That one featured the husband, commenting on his wife's gift.) Dear Diary, For my birthday this year, my Husband (the dear) purchased a week of personal training at the local health club for me. Although I am still in great shape since being a high school football cheerleader 43 years ago, I decided it would be a good idea to go ahead and give it a try. I called the club and made my reservations with a personal trainer named Christo, who identified himself as a 26-year-old aerobics instructor and model for athletic clothing and swim wear. My husband seemed pleased with my enthusiasm to get started! The club encouraged me to keep a diary to chart my progress. MONDAY: Started my day at 6:00 a.m. Tough to get out of bed, but found it was well worth it when I arrived at the health club to find Christo waiting for me. He is something of a Greek god--with blond hair, dancing eyes and a dazzling white smile. Woo Hoo!! Christo gave me a tour and showed me the machines. I enjoyed watching the skillful way in which he conducted his aerobics class after my workout today. Very inspiring! Christo was encouraging as I did my sit-ups, although my gut was already aching from holding it in the whole time he was around. This is going to be a FANTASTIC week!! TUESDAY: I drank a whole pot of coffee, but I finally made it out the door. Christo made me lie on my back and push a heavy iron bar into the air, then he put weights on it! My legs were a little wobbly on the treadmill, but I made the full mile. His rewarding smile made it all worthwhile. I feel GREAT!! It's a whole new life for me. WEDNESDAY: The only way I can brush my teeth is by laying the toothbrush on the counter and moving my mouth back and forth over it. I believe I have a hernia in both pectorals. Driving was OK as long as I didn't try to steer or stop. I parked on top of a GEO in the club parking lot. Christo was impatient with me, insisting that my screams bothered other club members. His voice is a little too perky for that early in the morning and when he scolds, he gets this nasally whine that is VERY annoying. My chest hurt when I got on the treadmill, so Christo put me on the stair monster. Why the hell would anyone invent a machine to simulate an activity rendered obsolete by elevators? Christo told me it would help me get in shape and enjoy life. He said some other sh*t too. THURSDAY: A*shole was waiting for me with his vampire-like teeth exposed as his thin, cruel lips were pulled back in a full snarl. I couldn't help being a half an hour late . . . it took me that long to tie my shoes. He took me to work out with dumbbells. When he was not looking, I ran and hid in the restroom. He sent some skinny bi*ch to find me. Then, as punishment, he put me on the rowing machine . . . which I sank. FRIDAY: I hate that bas*ard Christo more than any human being has ever hated any other human being in the history of the world. Stupid, skinny, anemic, anorexic little aerobic instructor. If there was a part of my body I could move without unbearable pain, I would beat him with it. Christo wanted me to work on my triceps. I don't have any triceps! And if you don't want dents in the floor, don't hand me the damn barbells or anything that weighs more than a sandwich. The treadmill flung me off, and I landed on a health and nutrition teacher. Why couldn't it have been someone softer, like the drama coach or the choir director? SATURDAY: Satan left a message on my answering machine in his grating, shrilly voice wondering why I did not show up today. Just hearing his voice made me want to smash the machine with my planner; however, I lacked the strength to even use the TV remote and ended up catching 11 straight hours of the Weather Channel. SUNDAY: I'm having the Church van pick me up for services today so I can go and thank GOD that this week is over. I will also pray that next year my husband (the little sh*t) will choose a gift for me that is fun--like a root canal or a hysterectomy. I still say if God had wanted me to bend over, he would have sprinkled the floor with diamonds!!! Back to Top _________________________________________________________ 10. A quote I like You can preach a better sermon with your life than with your lips.--Oliver Goldsmith (1728-1774), Anglo-Irish writer, poet and physician Back to Top _________________________________________________________ 11. Thought for the day How to Keep Yourself Motivated by Jim Donovan* One of the questions I am asked over and over by radio and TV interviewers and reporters is “How can a person motivate themselves?” While there are no simple answers to this question--we all develop methods that work for us--we can use a powerful technique known as leverage. Archimedes said he could move the world if he had a big enough lever. In the case of self-motivation, the leverage comes from having completed a commitment exercise. If you have not yet done this, it’s quite simple. Choose the particular goal or area of your life in which you need motivation. Take a page in your journal and write down everything you will gain by taking the action. In the case of building your business, your list might include financial freedom, more time with your family, freedom to live and work wherever you choose, the opportunity to work from home, the opportunity to do work that you love, being able to make a difference in people’s lives and on and on. Write down as many things as you can think of. List every benefit, reward and pleasure you will receive from reaching this goal. This is your "carrot." Next, write down everything you are presently giving up and missing out on by not already having reached this goal. Things like working at a job you dislike, being away from your family, not having enough money, not being able to give your family what they need, always being behind on your bills, etc. Write as many negatives as you can. What is the pain you experience by not having already reached this goal? This is your "stick." You can use the power of the carrot and stick to motivate yourself to action. When you feel yourself slacking off or procrastinating, or even if you feel like giving up, take out your lists and reread them. These "whys" will remind you why you are doing this in the first place. Tony Robbins taught us that everything we do is either to gain pleasure or avoid pain. You can use this pain and pleasure--carrot and stick--exercise to keep yourself on track. Keep your eye on the goal and keep reminding yourself why you want it. Doing this will keep you taking the actions necessary to reach your goals and live your dreams. Remember, you can reach any goal if you have a big enough why. As my friend, John DiLemme said in the title of his wonderful book, FIND YOUR WHY AND FLY. * Reprinted with permission from Jim Donovan, author of HANDBOOK TO A HEALTHIER LIFE; THIS IS YOUR LIFE, NOT A DRESS REHEARSAL; and STOP LIVING PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK.
