Cynthia, my beautiful bride, and I now find ourselves with time on our hands . . . for the first time since we've been married, we no longer find ourselves driving every weekend to visit her mother in North Jersey or my folks in Queens . . . of course we miss our parents dearly--though not those trips. That said, we do recall two with particular fondness . . . shortly before my mother died, we visited her when she was receiving hospice care at Calvary Hospital . . . we got to meet one of the two rabbis there, Rabbi Harold Stern, and we were both very impressed with what he had to say . . . I've asked Cynthia to share her recollections: When Blaine and I were visiting Muriel, a rabbi came to visit. Someone that Muriel did not know. She clearly wanted to speak with him, and in her own way, she requested to be with him alone. After about 30 minutes, the Rabbi left the room. He then spent much more time speaking with Blaine and myself. We were asking him, “Is it appropriate to tell someone in Muriel’s shape that it is OK to go . . . to give her permission to do so?" His wise words have been reverberating in my brain ever since: * There is no “formula." Yes, that might be one of many things one “might” say to someone who is dying. How about letting what you have to say to the person “come” to you after listening to them. * Even more important than saying something is the willingness to be “silent." The rabbi told us he was going to speak at a seminar and help teach other people who spent time with the dying how to “be” with them. His plan was to start the seminar with two minutes of pure silence, realizing that the people would probably think he was crazy. Silence--something most humans are most uncomfortable with. We all fill in the silence (all the time, but especially when we are in the face of the death of a loved one) with words, questions, touching, jokes . . . anything but to just be quiet and wait. Wait for a feeling of the right thing to say. Wait to hear what our loved one is saying even if his or her speaking is non-existent in the moment. I, personally, was touched by what he had to say. I spent so much time with my own mother trying so hard to make it better . . . to make her dying “meaningful” . . . instead of just stopping and being silent and present and available. What wise words for all of us. To stop, be silent, wait, and be present for the ones we love. B. On another visit, we stopped by to see my childhood home in Freeport, NY . . . the people now living there very graciously allowed us in, and I got a big kick out of showing Cynthia around . . . I also showed her my elementary school, which reminded me of another time many years ago when I had gone to the same neighborhood and taken my daughter Risa with me . . . I had been telling her how far I had to walk when I was a kid (I had it rough!) only to be amazed by the fact that the distance between my home and school covered less than two short blocks. And on the subject of homes, don't forget that my mother's is up for sale: A SPECTACULAR RENOVATED 1 BEDROOM, 1 1/2 BATH. LARGE LIVING ROOM, SLIDING GLASS DOORS AND BALCONY. SUNNY GOLF VIEWS.

You also get access to all stores downstairs, including a bank, restaurant, movie theater, supermarket, cleaner's, drugstore, health club, etc. . . . golf and/or tennis memberships are also available at a very reasonable extra cost . . . and there are both indoor and outdoor pools. For more information, call Annette Kroll at 718.631.8867. C. Over the weekend, we joined friends for dinner at Genteel's Trattoria (609.252.0880) in Skillman, NJ . . . I often go there for lunch; the pizza is excellent . . . but this is the first time the we had gone for dinner in what turned out to be a very attractive dining room . . . our veal parmigiana and pasta bolognese were both excellent, and our friends seemed to like their choices too . . . portions were quite ample, too . . . from there, we went across the street to what is probably our favorite place to catch both independent and foreign films: Montgomery Cinemas (609.924.7444)--also in Skillman . . . for a review of what we saw, please see Section 4A. D. During the week, I got to hear Carl Bernstein speak on his latest book, A WOMAN IN CHARGE; THE LIFE OF HILARY RODHAM CLINTON . . . it was quite a treat to hear this Pulitzer Pulitzer-winning author, and best of all, the event was free . . . it was held at Barnes & Noble (see also Section 12A) in West Windsor, NJ. Bernstein indicated that Hillary is a complex woman who was "the one person whose stature was enhanced by all this" [the Lewinsky period and the impeachment trial of President Clinton]. Furthermore, he noted, "This is a story about her marriage, which is a love affair, no matter how difficult (things have been). The Clintons are on the verge of a restoration, the first in American political history, and their roles would reverse. Mr. Clinton is the most important part of her process and vice versa. He's her principle adviser, and he's out to get her elected and to get them both back in the White House." ***** BLAINESWORLD BEST AWARD ***** This week, it goes to Roberta Stein--the person in charge of the Merle Norman store (908.704.8300) in the Bridgewater Mall in Bridgewater, NJ. Cynthia has been a customer there for several years . . . she has always been impressed with all the help she has received there, but particularly from Roberta . . . a recent purchase will show you why . . . when she wanted to purchase clove eye shadow, Roberta said they no longer carried that particular color . . . however, she asked Cynthia if she could call around to see if any other stories still had any inventory of the product. Within a few weeks, Roberta had located a bunch of the product in various states throughout the country . . . she then asked Cynthia if she still wanted the item and when Cynthia said "yes," Robert had it shipped to her at no extra charge. Now in case you're wondering why and how Cynthia uses the eye shadow, here's something from BLAINESWORLD #396--written shortly after we had started dating: A really good friend (ok, ok, the aforementioned Cynthia if you must know) shared this idea she thought other female readers might find of value: If you color your hair, it sometimes looks as if it needs a touch up after 4-5 weeks and often just before you next go for a coloring . . . I shampoo, then use a good brand of eye shadow for a touch up at the roots . . . it really does the job, and it typically lasts until my next shampoo. I've tried many kinds of eye shadow over the years and have found out that the Merle Norman variety has consistently given me good results. Back To Top _________________________________________________________ 2. FYI Edison's mother guided him to apply the most effective and efficient means of study so that he could "tear the heart out of books." Here is how you can do what he did: * Set clear objectives: By approaching all your reading with a clear idea of what you want to learn, you will learn faster and more effectively. In a classic study, two groups were asked to read the same book. The first group was told that they were "responsible for the whole book." The second group was given the objective of discerning only the book's three major themes. When tested, the "three themes" group did better on all aspects of the exam, including questions that were unrelated to the three themes. Formulate specific objectives for your reading and write them down. * Warm up your brain: Tune in to your subject matter by expressing verbally-or on paper-what you already know about the subject. This will energize the associative network in your brain. In two or three minutes you can access your knowledge base, and by bringing it to the fore, you greatly improve the chances that you will actually remember what you read. * Overview the text: Read the Contents page, introduction, exercises, chapter summaries, and review or conclusion sections first. Just like completing a jigsaw puzzle, you begin with the borders and work your way in. In many cases you will discover that your objectives have been achieved via the overview. * Record and share key points: If you've set your objectives, warmed up your brain, and overviewed your book, you will have an excellent idea of where the remaining "gold" is hidden in the text. "Tearing the heart out of books" involves focusing in on the parts that are most relevant to your objectives and choosing to skip the rest. As Edison did, record the key points of your reading. After you've finished, teach someone what you learned. As you practice expressing what you've learned you'll consolidate your ability to recall the material and you'll gain a clearer idea what you still need to learn.

When he was spotted, the room burst into shrieks, with ladies grabbing towels and running for cover. The little boy watched in amazement and then asked, "What's the matter, haven't you ever seen a little boy before?" Back To Top _________________________________________________________ 4. Reviews A. BEFORE THE DEVIL KNOWS YOU'RE DEAD is a stylish thriller about two sons who decide to rob their parents' jewelry store . . . their plans fall apart, however, and so does this film about 2/3 of the way through . . . it held my interest until then; however, it was then that a whole bunch of folks got murdered and by the end, I couldn't wait to get out of the theater . . . Philip Seymour Hoffman and Ethan Hawke, as they usually do, turn in fine work, and I also liked seeing Marisa Tormei as Hoffman's gorgeous wife . . . yet overall, I wouldn't recommend that you rush out to see or even rent this one . . . rated R. B. LA VIE EN ROSE is now out in DVD format . . . my review from BLAINESWORLD # 560 follows: I have always loved the music of Edith Piaf and so was looking forward to LA VIE EN ROSE, the biopic about her life . . . despite a magnificent performance by Marion Cotillard, the film left me flat . . . it was way too long, and there wasn't enough singing . . . it's also very depressing, and I found the story to be too choppy for my taste . . . I was, however, impressed with both the set design and cinematography . . . rated PG-13. Thinking out loud here . . . I don't want to leave you with nothing to see, so make it a point to rent from blockbuster.com or netflix.com the following: THE BISHOP'S WIFE . . . it is a delightful comedy, starring Cary Grant, David Niven and Loretta Young about an angel sent from heaven to raise money for a new church . . . there weren't ratings at the time, but if there were, it would probably get a PG . . . it was remade into THE PREACHER'S WIFE, starring Denzel Washington and Whitney Houston . . . get the original; it's far superior. C. Michael J. Gelb has become one of my favorite non-fiction authors . . . his bestseller, HOW TO THINK LIKE LEONARDO DA VINCI, impressed me so much that I now use it the Creativity course that I teach . . . several other books followed, and while they were all good, I do believe that he has topped himself with his latest effort: INNOVATE LIKE EDISON (see also Sections 2, 10 and 11), co-authored with Sarah Miller Caldicott--Edison's great-grandniece. Subtitled THE SUCCESS SYSTEM OF AMERICA'S GREATEST INVENTOR, it is a winner from the very first page . . . there's a short but fascinating biography of Edison, followed by an easy-to-apply system of five success secrets--known as the Five Competencies of Innovation. These are as follows: 1. Solution-Centered Mindset: how to keep unwavering focus on finding solutions; 2. Kaleidoscopic Thinking: how to juggle multiple projects, generate many ideas and the make creative connections or discern patterns; 3. Full-Spectrum Engagement: how to manage and balance a massive workload with social life, family and other obligations; 4. Master Mind Collaboration: how to multiply individual brain power by bringing the right people together; and 5. Super-Value Creation: how to target all creations to an existing market and provide value to potential customers. Gelb and Caldicott describe these secrets, then show how they can be utilized in many different situations . . . I liked how they gave real examples, using both large and small companies . . . in addition, they effectively "updated" Edison's work by viewing it through the eyes of such contemporary thinkers as Edward de Bono, Martin Seligman, Daniel Goleman and others. I also liked the pictures of Edison, as well as the use of drawings he actually did for his many inventions. There were many useful tidbits that I gained from reading this book; among them: * Edison's idea of aligning with those unchangeable "infinite laws" and following "the teachings of his own conscience" meant living by a moral code grounded in honesty, respect, fairness, and integrity. He felt that the highest standards of personal and business ethics were congruent with the precise design of the infinite intelligence. Moreover, Edison hoped that his innovations would help humanity evolve to a higher moral plane. He proclaimed, "The machine has been human being's most effective escape from bondage." Like Gandhi, he believed that "Non-violence leads to the highest ethics, which is the goal of all evolution. Until we stop harming all other living beings, we are still savages." When he was asked to serve on the Naval Consulting Board during World War I, he made it clear that he would only work on defensive weaponry. As he noted, "I am proud of the fact that I never invented weapons to kill." Edison's religious and ethical philosophy is probably best summarized by his observation that, "If we all try to carry out the Golden Rule in this life we have little to fear from the hereafter no matter what our belief may be." * Thomas Edison's love of nature and his passion for efficiency translated into a practical concern for energy conservation and environmental protection. By 1910, Edison had developed a storage battery that could power automobiles, trucks, and machines. He hoped this development would lead to the use of batteries as a self-sufficient source of energy in homes and buildings. In 1912, he constructed and helped to create a model home in West Orange, New Jersey, that was "off the grid," and powered solely by his storage batteries. He also began thinking about ways to harness the power of the wind and sun. Shortly before his death in 1913, Edison told his friends Henry Ford and Harvey Firestone, "I'd put money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don't have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle that." * In his teenage years as well as at Menlo Park and beyond, Edison recorded his thoughts, observations, and visualizations in notebooks. like other great minds, Edison jotted down his thoughts freely. His notebooks contain fragments of ideas and plenty of pictures. This daily practice helped him sharpen his observations, develop new ideas and make creative connections between diverse aspects of his research. If you're looking for an ideal holiday gift for a student or anybody interested in lifelong learning, you certainly won't go wrong with getting them a copy of INNOVATE LIKE EDISON. D. Heard the CD version of EAT THAT FROG!, written and read by Brian Tracy . . . he's a well-respected author on such subjects as personal and business success . . . and since I've benefited from his teachings in the past, I looked forward to this program--in large part because of its catchy title . . . I also liked the premise of the subtitle; i.e., that I'd learn 21 GREAT WAYS TO STOP PROCRASTINATING AND GET MORE DONE IN LESS TIME. So you're probably wondering like I was: What's the deal behind eating a frog? (And why would anybody want to do that?) . . . Tracy explanation makes a lot of sense . . . he contends that if you eat a live frog the first thing in the morning, you can go through the rest of your day with the satisfaction that the frog is the very worst thing that's going to happen to you. Much of the advice that follows has similar thinking . . . if you want to deal with procrastination, just do the most important thing first . . . you need to resist the temptation to do other tasks, even though they may be more fun to complete . . . or you can complete them in a relatively quick fashion. I've heard much of what Tracy had to say, yet I kept thinking to myself that even though that was the case, I needed as much reinforcement as I could get . . . for example, he pointed out * You need to do something every day to move you toward your goal. * Every minute on planning saves as many as 20 minutes in execution. * To develop your career, continually ask: What's the one skill, if learned, would have the greatest positive impact on my career? * There's never enough time to do everything, but there's always enough time to do the most important thing. * Here's the core question of time management: What's the best use of my time right now? * Imagine yourself as having only one day before you go on vacation. * Don't worry about changing your whole life; say, instead, "just for today." EAT THAT FROG!! might not get you to stop procrastinating forever . . . it will, however, help you get started . . . or as Tracy points out, if that's your problem, just say to yourself, "Do it now" . . . getting this program would be an excellent first step!

Back To Top _________________________________________________________ 8. Computer tip If you ever try to download something and it pauses or even stops, no problemo . . . typically, the best thing to do in such a situation is to turn your computer off . . . shut it down . . . wait a minute or so . . .then start your computer back up and again try the download . . . most times, it will work just fine after you do what I've suggested. In fact, as I've said before, this is generally a good thing to try if you're having any other computer problem; i.e., stop what you're doing, then after you turn off your computer and start it up again, your problems will often be solved.

Back To Top _________________________________________________________ 10. A quote I like The value of an idea lies in using it--Thomas Edison, cited in INNOVATE LIKE EDISON (see also Sections 2, 4C and 11) by Michael J. Gelb and Sarah Miller Caldicott Back To Top _________________________________________________________ 11. Thought for the day When I REALLY like a book, I mention it multiple times in an issue . . . that's certainly the case with INNOVATE LIKE EDISON (see also Sections 2, 4C and 10) by Michael J. Gelb and Sarah Miller Caldicott--the source of this passage: From his earliest days as an amateur chemist to the last years of his life when he was revered internationally as an icon of genius, Edison's daily activities reflected the alignment of his goals with his passions. Edison's feelings were wed to his ideas and his remarkable achievements were driven by that "keen pulsating desire which transcends everything." The marriage of his goals and passions allowed Edison to savor the process of achievement as much the result. As he commented, "I never did a day's work in my life, it was all fun." MY TWO CENTS: I'm blessed to be able to feel the same with respect to my job at Bucks County Community College--or at least on most days . . . the same holds true when I work in the field of dispute resolution . . . I mention this not to gloat, but rather to point out that this is something we all should seek; i.e., to have fun at work . . . and, actually, at anything that we do . . . if that not be the case, methinks than it is then time to seek some other pursuit(s).
