B. Our good friend Michael called the other day to see how
we were doing . . . he said, "I bet that everyday is like Saturday," and
come to think of it, he was right . . . Cynthia and I sometimes have
to pause to think about what day it actually is, which is quite
a nice thing.

His comment got me thinking to something my mother used to say
about her life in Florida . . . she would often tell me that
it was like living in Disney World, not only because of
the weather . . . but also because there was so much
for her and my father to do and see.

That's sort of how Cynthia and I are feeling right now . . . we're
enjoying the weather . . . it usually is the same as in the
New Jersey/Pennsylvania area, though with slightly milder
winters and summers . . . that said, we were particularly
fortunate to have temperatures in the 60s when the
Northeast was hit with recent snow and ice storms.

As for things to do, we have been pretty busy just getting
our house into shape . . . making our job much easier, however, was
the assistance provided by Jim Foley--owner of More Space
Place . . . he designed a series of closets and storage areas that
left us pleasantly surprised with the recognition that we have
more than enough space for all our stuff.

We're still laughing at how Jim found us extra space in the master
bath . . . he suggested putting a cabinet above the toilet . . . quite
frankly, we had our doubts about that one; i.e., until Jim drew
a computer image of somebody using the toilet that showed there
was plenty of space above the person's head.

The installation--completed when we were still in New Jersey--was
perfect . . . what a rarity it was to find a company that you didn't
have to call back for corrections after the fact.

We were so impressed with this job that we have already begun
speaking with Jim about the possibility of getting a Murphy
Bed/bookcase for our guest bedroom.

What makes the experience in dealing with More Space Place
so pleasurable is that Jim's a real nice guy, too . . . when
we stopped by his place to thank him for a job well done, he gave us
a warm greeting that made us feel like we were his longtime friends
(and not just his customers).

C. Fortunately, we have also managed to discern that we won't
go hungry in North Carolina . . . there are many eateries near us, many
just minutes away . . . two we have enjoyed were:

* Apollo Flame Bistro (828.665.0080), located in the same strip mall as
More Space Place . . . they serve both Italian and Greek food . . . Cynthia
said her Greek salad was excellent, and I very much enjoyed my chicken
wrap served on warm pita bread . . . portions were large, prices were
reasonable and service was good.

* Kanpai Sushi Tai in downtown Asheville (828.225.8885) . . . our order
of steamed vegetables was made just the way we wanted it; i.e., add
snow peas and don't include mushrooms . . . however, the dish
we're still raving about was the coconut fried rice with chicken . . . per
our request, they made it with brown rice . . . the end result was
something so tasty that we're looking forward to when we
can have the leftovers. 

D. MR. CURIOUS HERE:

Cynthia has some 10 cassette tapes on yoga that are close
to having seen their final day . . . plus, she'd like to play them
on her CD player . . . do you know of any easy, inexpensive
way to convert these cassettes to CDs?  Or might you even
be willing to do this for her? (She'd pay you for your effort.)

We've seen a device that can do this . . . and also convert
vinyl records . . . but it costs some $300, and we have no
real need for it beyond this one-time use.

Please advise.

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

This week, it goes to Dr. Scott Pickett--our new veterinarian in
North Carolina

Dr. Pickett heads the Best Friends Mobile Veterinarian Clinic in Asheville,
which he started with his brother Stewart in 2005 . . . what makes
his practice so unique is that you never have to go
see him; instead, he comes directly to your home or business
in a modern van that is fully-equipped to handle just about
any situation.

Shortly after arriving, we needed to get all three cats
checked . . . we were particularly concerned about Shanti,
in that we had been told by our previous vet that she had
a suspicious-looking growth on her jaw . . . Dr. Pickett confirmed
that it was cancer, but for now, all appears to be stable . . . he
said that our other two cats, Precious and Tiger, were both
in fine shape.

We were impressed by how thorough an exam Dr. Pickett
conducted on each cat . . . also, we were appreciative
of how quickly he got back to us with results, suggestions
for future care, etc.

And Stewart, who serves as technician/office manager for
Best Friends, was equally caring.

2. FYI

As many readers know, I'm a regular reader/big fan of THE WALL
STREET JOURNAL . . . it is so very informative, and I find that
I learn much from reading it--not only about business, but also
about politics, computers, entertainment, etc.

Health is another topic covered extensively by THE JOURNAL . . . one
recent article, in particular, caught my attention:

"Face Time: the Benefits of Seeing Patients as People" by Kevin
Helliker, 12.2.2008, p. B9 . . . because of copyright restrictions,
I can't run the whole article . . . however, here's the key part
that I'd like you to consider:

Radiologists read scans more carefully when they also had a
patient photo, a study found. Here are some suggestions:

* Bring a photo to your scan or email one to the scanning
center and ask that it be included in your file.

* Photographs aside, provide the clinic with detailed reasons
why you're getting a scan.

Dr. Turner [the person who did the study] predicts that further
study will bear out the power of the old-fashioned head shot
to improve radiology. Included in his presentation were comments
from radiologists who participated in the study. One said the
inclusion of photographs "made me feel more like a physician."
Another said a photograph "makes each CT scan unique."

FYI, part 2

Last week, I wrote about a product called Magic Eraser . . . I don't
think I have ever received so many emails about any other particular
topic . . . just to cite some of them:

* Robyn in Pennsylvania:

I just wanted to let you know that I've used the Magic Sponge several
times. So far I've been able to completely remove:

Sharpie marker, crayon, and pencil stains off countertops.

All sorts of scuff marks off hardwood floors such as shoes, crayons,
markers and some I couldn't identify.

Light soap scum off the bottom of vinyl shower curtain liners.

Those orange marks around the drain in the shower and sink.

Burnt marks off a stovetop, both electric and gas.

Dirt off the refrigerator, microwave and dishwasher, including
the handles.

Food and drink stains on countertops.

Light scuff marks or food stains on the walls.

All sorts of artwork left on the walls by the kids such as crayon,
marker, pencil, etc.

I love how it cleans without having to use irritating chemicals on
minor stains. The only warning I have is to check a small unnoticeable
area on a wall before working on stains for the first time. I've
discovered that the sponge can remove some types of paint. I've also
discovered that if a drink stain has been on a countertop, it
will lighten but not completely remove it. The same goes for heavy
marks on the walls and well-set burnt marks on the stove.

* Dana in Pennsylvania:

It IS the best product out there to remove marks on painted walls, corian
countertops and other hard surfaces. Just beware, it is like a fine sander
so use with water and do not rub continually over the same area for a long time
or you will remove your paint.

* Terri in Pennsylvania:

It should be called "Miracle Eraser." This product is awesome. I have not
yet found a stain it doesn't remove! 

* Arlene in Missouri:

I use Magic Eraser to remove smudges from refrigerator handles. It
works well on white refrigerators especially. 

* Kathy in Florida:

Magic Eraser is absolutely wonderful. I use it all the time.

SECOND REQUEST:

I also mentioned that I need to redo my business cards, given
that the important phone numbers I have on the back will
soon be outdated when Obama takes over from Bush . . . furthermore,
I will only be full-time at Bucks County Community College
for one more semester, so I'm looking for some other
title to call myself--other than professor or even professor
emeritus.

My goal is to come up with something creative that would also
serve as a conversation-starter when I meet new folks.

MANY THANKS to the many readers who already submitted
their thoughts on the subject . . . I'll share some of these with you
in the near future, but in the meantime, I would still very much
like to hear from others who care to care to express their
opinion on this weighty topic.

3. Wisdom from kids

No matter how hard you try, you can't baptize cats.

When your mom is mad at your dad, don't let her brush your hair.

If your sister hits you, don't hit her back. They always catch
the second person.

Never ask your 3-year old brother to hold a tomato.

You can't trust dogs to watch your food.

Reading what people write on desks can teach you a lot.

Don't sneeze when someone is cutting your hair.

Puppies still have bad breath even after eating a Tic Tac.

Never hold a dustbuster and a cat at the same time.

School lunches stick to the wall.

You can't hide a piece of broccoli in a glass of milk.

Don't wear polka-dot underwear under white shorts.

The best place to be when you are sad is in Grandma's lap.

4. Reviews 

A. Sean Penn is outstanding in MILK, the true story about
America's first elected gay politician . . . he makes you really feel
for Harvey Milk, a businessman who lost many races before
getting elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors
in 1977 . . . Josh Brolin, so fine in both W and NO COUNTRY FOR
OLD MEN, again shines as Dan White--Milk's political colleague
who eventually turns on him . . . make sure you stay for the
ending credits to see how close the actors actually resembled
their real characters . . . rated R.

B. THE HOUSE BUNNY is now out in DVD format . . . my review from
BLAINESWORLD #623 follows:

THE HOUSE BUNNY is a goofy but fun tale of an orphan-turned
Playboy bunny who gets kicked out of the Mansion . . . having
no place to live, she winds up the house mother to a sorority
that has seen better days . . . you can predict almost every
joke, but you'll laugh in spite of yourself . . . Anna Faris is
just perfect in the title role . . . her technique for memorizing
names is one you'll never forget . . . rated PG-13.

C. I loved the premise behind THE EXPERTS' GUIDE TO DOING
THINGS FASTER by Samantha Ettus; i.e., to become more
efficient in every aspect of every day.

Ettus presents 100 different ideas in short but insightful chapters
that included daily essentials, lifestyle lessons, beauty basics,
romance road maps, physical feats, money matters and healthy
hints . . . she chose 100 of the word's leading experts to
write them,, ranging from Hannah Storm on getting ready in the
morning to Sir Richard Branson on getting a loan . .. some
names were not immediately recognizable, such as New York's
most famous doorman ("Make Someone Feel Good") and an
Olympic eater ("Cure a Stomachache"), but that did not take
away from the value of their advice.

I learned much from reading this book, and methinks you will
too . . . for instance:

* [reducing the length of meetings] Start at a specific time each day,
and make it an odd one, like 8:08 a.m. or 4:44 p.m. I've observed
a strange psychological pattern: people are more likely to be prompt
when the start time is not on the half or quarter hour. (Worried that
you'll forget the meeting while traveling? Set a recurring reminder
alarm on your cell phone or Black Berry.)

* [returning phone calls] Stay away from message dumping (e.g.,
calling a person's office to leave a message at 9 p.m. when you know
they've left for the day). This practice is transparent and reflects poorly
on you. The only way to close a deal or reach a resolution
on something is to speak with the person directly.

Some ideas were so good that they were repeated--in slightly
different fashion--in different chapters, such as:

* [achieving success] Distractions are the enemy of focused
attention. A successful race car driver told me, "A little bit
of distraction and you could have a really bad day." . . . Deborah
McGiness, senior research scientist at Stanford, said to me,
"Getting my degree, every year I cut out things. I remember the
year I sacrificed movies. I just said, 'I can't afford the time. I'll
put movies back in my life again once I finish the Ph.D.' "

* [unleash your creativity] Clear the deck so that you can focus
your energies on the area in which creativity is needed. Completely
unplug yourself from your phones, computer, email, television,
radio, and any other distractions from people and pets.

So that said, I guess it's time for me to stop taking calls
and answering emails . . . and, also, turn-off the DVD I'm
half-watching . . . so I can finish the rest of this week's newsletter!

D. Brian Biro (see also Section 1A)--known professionally as America's
Breakthrough Coach--has conducted a series of interviews with some
of the  most extraordinary people of our time.

He has made all of these available on CD . . . I recently had the
opportunity to hear his talk with Nino Qubein, president of
High Point University and a legendary motivational speaker . . . was
I ever impressed, not only with Biro's interviewing techniques but
with what Qubein had to say.

Among the tidbits I gained from listening were these:

* As long as you're going to think, think big.

* Being a great communicator is not as important as connecting
with people.

* Reputation is what people think you are. Character is what God
knows you are.

* Unfortunately, the only people in our society who welcome change
are babies in wet diapers.

* Your value is measured by the size of problems you are capable
of solving.

* Young people are like airplanes. You only hear about the ones
that crash. You don't hear about all the ones who do great things.

And this final bit of advice that is something that I'll be attempting
to follow in my rewirement:

* As adults, a third of your life is in earning, a third of your life
ought to be involved in learning and a third of your life should
be involved in serving.

My only regret is that I never got to have Qubein as my boss
at any college where I have been employed.

6. Why men don't write advice columns

* Letter to the advice columnist:

Dear Walter,

I hope you can help me here. The other day, I set
off for work leaving my husband in the house watching
the TV as usual. I hadn't driven more than a mile down
the road when the engine conked out and the car
shuddered to a halt. I walked back home to get my
husband's help. 

When I got home I couldn't believe my eyes. He was
in our bedroom with the neighbors' daughter. I'm 32,
my husband is 34, and the neighbors' daughter is 22. 
We have been married for ten years.

When I confronted him, he broke down and admitted
that they had been having an affair for the past six
months.  I told him to stop or I'd leave him. He was let
go from his job six months ago, and he says he has been
feeling increasingly depressed and worthless. I love him
very much, but ever since I gave him the ultimatum he
has become increasingly distant. He won't go to
counseling, and I'm afraid I can't get through to him
anymore.

Can you please help?

Sincerely,
Sheila

* His response:

Dear Sheila:

A car stalling after being driven a short distance can
be caused by a variety of faults with the engine. 
Start by checking that there is no debris in the fuel
line. If it's clear, check the vacuum pipes and hoses
on the intake manifold and also check all grounding
wires. 

If none of these approaches solves the problem, it
could be that the fuel pump itself is faulty, causing
low delivery pressure to the injectors. Mainly have
your air filters cleaned or replaced.

I hope this helps with your problem.

Walter

9. My kind of obituary

James William "Jim" Adams lived life to the fullest--even after
he was dead.

His final act was to have his family send the following obituary to
the local newspaper--the Casper (WY) STAR TRIBUNE--that
was published September 15, 2008:

A celebration of life for James William "Jim" Adams, 53, will be held
at a later date.

He died Tuesday, Sept. 9, 2008 at Memorial Hospital of Converse
County in Douglas.

Jim, who had tired of reading obituaries noting other's courageous
battles with this or that disease, wanted it known that he lost his battle.
It was primarily as a result of being stubborn and not following doctor's
orders or maybe for just living life a little too hard for better than five
decades.

He was born June 8, 1955 in Garrison, ND,  the son of James William
and Ruby Helen (Clark) Adams.

He was sadly deprived of his final wish, which was to be run over by
a beer truck on the way to the liquor store to buy booze for a date. True
to his personal style, he spent his final hours joking with medical
personnel, cussing and begging for narcotics and bargaining with God
to look over his loving dog, Biscuit, and his family.

He would like to thank all "his ladies" for putting up with him
the last 30 years.

During his life, he excelled at anything he put his mind to. He loved
to hear and tell jokes and spin tales of grand adventures he may or
may not have had.

He is survived by five sons, Jeremiah Adams and his wife, Nicole,
Mica Olivas, Wade Olivas, Brice Simpson and Cole Adams; sister,
Jerri Giegerich; two ex-wives, Vickie Harrison and Marilyn Williams;
four grandchildren; two nieces; and two great-nieces.

He was preceded in death by his parents and a brother-in-law.

In lieu of flowers, he asks that you make a sizeable purchase
at your favorite watering hole, get rip roaring drunk and tell the
stories he no longer can.

Gorman Funeral Homes is in charge of the arrangements.

10. A quote I like

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing

for his theory of relativity

11. Thought for the day 

Santa Claus, the true story

I remember my first Christmas party with Grandma. I was
just a kid. I remember tearing across town on my bike to
visit her on the day my big sister dropped the bomb: "There
is no Santa Claus," she jeered. "Even dummies know that!"

My grandma was not the gushy kind, never had been. I fled
to her that day because I knew she would be straight with
me. I knew Grandma always told the truth, and I knew that
the truth always went down a whole lot easier when
swallowed with one of her world-famous cinnamon buns.

Grandma was home, and the buns were still warm. Between
bites, I told her everything. She was ready for me.

"No Santa Claus!" she snorted. "Ridiculous! Don't believe it.
That rumor has been going around for years, and it makes
me mad, plain mad. Now, put on your coat, and let's go."

"Go? Go where, Grandma?" I asked. I hadn't even finished
my second cinnamon bun.

"Where" turned out to be Kerby's General Store, the one store
in town that had a little bit of just about everything. As we
walked through its doors, Grandma handed me ten dollars.
That was a bundle in those days. "Take this money and buy
something for someone who needs it. I'll wait for you in the
car." Then she turned and walked out of Kerby's.

I was only eight years old. I'd often gone shopping with my
mother, but never had I shopped for anything all by myself.
The store seemed big and crowded, full of people scrambling
to finish their Christmas shopping. For a few moments I just
stood there, confused, clutching that ten-dollar bill, wondering
what to buy, and who on earth to buy it for.

I thought of everybody I knew: my family, my friends, my
neighbors, the kids at school, the people who went to my
church. I was just about thought out, when I suddenly thought
of Bobbie Decker. He was a kid with bad breath and messy hair,
and he sat right behind me in Mrs. Pollock's grade-two class.

Bobbie Decker didn't have a coat. I knew that because he never
went out for recess during the winter. His mother always wrote
a note, telling the teacher that he had a cough, but all we kids
knew that Bobbie Decker didn't have a cough, and he didn't have
a coat. I fingered the ten-dollar bill with growing excitement. I
would buy Bobbie Decker a coat. I settled on a red corduroy one
that had a hood to it. It looked real warm, and he would like that.

"Is this a Christmas present for someone?" the lady behind the
counter asked kindly, as I laid my ten dollars down.

"Yes," I replied shyly. "It's ... For Bobbie."

The nice lady smiled at me. I didn't get any change, but she put
the coat in a bag and wished me a Merry Christmas.

That evening, Grandma helped me wrap the coat in Christmas
paper and ribbons, and write, "To Bobbie, From Santa Claus"
on it -- Grandma said that Santa always insisted on secrecy.
Then she drove me over to Bobbie Decker's house, explaining
as we went that I was now and forever officially one of Santa's
helpers.

Grandma parked down the street from Bobbie's house, and
she and I crept noiselessly and hid in the bushes by his front
walk. Then Grandma gave me a nudge. "All right, Santa Claus,"
she whispered, "get going."

I took a deep breath, dashed for his front door, threw the
present down on his step, pounded his doorbell and flew back
to the safety of the bushes and Grandma. Together we waited
breathlessly in the darkness for the front door to open. Finally
it did, and there stood Bobbie.

Forty years haven't dimmed the thrill of those moments spent
shivering, beside my grandma, in Bobbie Decker's bushes. That
night, I realized that those awful rumors about Santa Claus
were just what Grandma said they were: ridiculous.

Santa was alive and well, and we were on his team.

a great week!
