Travel Tips

I recently acquired a new toy that I would recommend highly for anyone travelling for a living - A GPS sensor for my laptop. It is a USB plugin that in conjunction with Microsoft Street & Maps guides you to the desired destination. No more need to search for a specific place and locations on a map. This thing provides information in real time of where you are and how long it will take you to reach the destination. During the holiday season I at times do several shows in a day and have no time to get lost or take the wrong exit. Here are some things about it I found useful last Saturday. - recalculates in real time your current location and shows it on the map - shows GPS trail - If you miss an exit, you can remap instantly from current location - shows travelling speed and compas as well - shows you how much time is left until you arrive Cost: approx $50 US - for the sensor http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=4668&item=5736517407&rd=1 approx $30 US -

Visit to the Bermuda Triangle

Bermuda was a blast. The people are super friendly and it looks like everyone knows one another. That is the only way I can explain the hellos while driving, simply by tapping the car horn. The locals wear unusual attire to an outsider – (the temperature is normally mild to hot) Bermuda shorts with knee-high socks and a jacket are a regular dress for work-wear. I got my first taste of the local drink – Dark & Stormy, which is a mix of ginger beer that is very tasty on its own and carries a kick to it. I got a chance to walk in the beautiful pink sand that the island is famous for – regular sand with particles of broken pink reef coral in it and giving it the pink glow. Standing on the end of the peer and glancing into the crystal-clear waters you will see exotic fish of a multitude of colors going about their business. Even if you don’t look below the water surface, the fish will jump right out as if saying “welcome to my world”. Same weekend I was there, they had the world ru

Company Christmas party or holiday event planning made easy – Useful Tips

“Holiday entertainment planning is a serious business – a lot happens behind the scenes, long before the CEO says thanks for a job well-done”, says Incredible BORIS (Boris Cherniak). Around this time of the year, human resources managers and company CEOs are asking the age-old question - How do we make our holiday event an affair to remember? After all, we are simply trying to thank the employees, suppliers and their families for a job well done throughout the year. We also want this event to motivate the group to be happy and productive in the future. This is a more difficult task that may appear from outside. “The people planning functions have an enormous task of fitting into the ever-shrinking budgets while keeping party-goers satisfied,” says Boris Cherniak, corporate event planning professional, comedy hypnotist entertainer and motivational speaker. Here is a helpful checklist of planning an affair for the holidays (as provided by Boris Cherniak): 1. Budget. Break d

My Travels Sept 5 - 12, 2004

Just finished a week that started in Victoria, BC and eneded in Charlottown, Prince Edward Island - crossing the continent in seven days. It included flights, drives and ferries. I am a one-man show, so being able to be anywhere on a day's notice is my specialty. This past week is normally one of the busiest weeks of the year for functions. It is frosh week in the colleges, conferences and fall festival week (normally right after labor day). The shows are generally very well received as the people are feeling rejuvinated after a summer away and have a lot of energy and excitement of being "back" to whatever they do. My shows were nothing less and I had a great time. I had many interesting adventures: - forgot my cell phone on a plane, only to have it brought to me by security. I realized it was gone only after I reached to turn it back on when leaving the terminal (and they don't let you back in). - enjoyed tasty eating in Halifax - enjoyed the views in New Hamp

Hypnosis Definitions

As a hypnosis practitioner, I have been long searching for a perfect definition of the subject. Recently, Teller (Penn & Teller) related a definition of hypnosis by the Amazing James Randy - "An agreement between two people to fantasize together". I believe this is one of the most precise definitions available. However there are many conflicting opinions and views on the subject. If you have a definition of hypnosis, please share it here along with any related explanations. Hypnosis Master The Incredible BORIS
