One way that money slips through our fingers without our realizing it is by eating out at lunch every day.

Did you know that by taking your lunch 3 days a week instead of eating out, you could save as much as $800 a year? Think what you could do with that much extra money!

Your lunch doesn’t have to be a sandwich and chips, either. With just a little bit of creativity and planning, brown bag lunches can be pretty delicious!

Try these ideas for starters:

Invest in a few of those 1-serving plastic storage containers with lids. These are so handy–when you have just one serving left of any dish at dinner, put it in one of these dishes. Designate a shelf in the fridge for these leftovers. In the mornings, anyone in the family can choose what to put in their lunch bag!

Those little containers can also be used to hold dip for carrot or celery sticks; fill with peanut butter and pack a zipper bag of pretzels for dipping. Maybe salsa for dipping tortilla chips (not so healthy, but really good!)

Or make your own pudding cups with your homemade pudding!

Fill tortillas or pita pockets with egg or tuna salad.

Spread cream cheese on a tortilla, add a little salsa, and top with sliced turkey or ham. Place another tortilla on top, cut in fourths and put in zipper top bag.

A good way to carry deviled eggs (that lunchbox staple)– after filling, put the two halves back together, and wrap in plastic wrap or put in a small container!

Muffins hold up well in a lunch bag or box as do slices of banana nut bread, or most any other quick bread. Great for morning or afternoon breaks.

Of course, if your workplace has a microwave oven,(lucky you!)you can always bring leftover soup, stew or chili. A quick recipe for Chicken Corn Chowder:

1 pouch Chicken Noodle Soup Mix with diced chicken

2 1/4 cups milk

1 can cream-style corn

Combine all ingredients in saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until noodles are tender, uncovered, stirring frequently, because it will stick!

Mix this up in the evening or on the wekend and store in serving-size containers. Just grab a container in the morning, along with some crackers, and you’re good to go!

Try some of these ideas for your lunches this week and start saving some money!

And at the same time, you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing that you and/or your spouse will be having a more nutritious meal than you would get at a fast-food restaurant.

Usually, the task of choosing the wedding decorations is
delegated to the bride and the female members of the family and
entourage. However, it is still preferred that the groom should
also help in conceptualizing the decorations to be used for the
wedding.

Here are some aspects to consider when deciding on what
decorations to be used in the wedding:

* Mood

Will the wedding be formal or casual? Do you want it to be
traditional or contemporary? This will help in deciding what
candles, flowers, balloons, and other venue enhancements will
you be needing.

* Color Scheme

Consider the main color to be used for the decorations. This may
be the couple’s favorite color, a color that can be associated
with their hobby or the color that is preferred during the
season. Make sure that the color of the decorations will go well
with what the members of the entourage and the guests will be
wearing.

* Site

Take pictures of the wedding site as early as possible so that
you can check the pictures while considering a decorating idea.

* Time

Usually, decorations can only be set at the church and at the
reception within one to two hours before the event. Therefore,
you must consider decorations that don’t take much time to
mount. Also, these decorations should also be taken down right
after the event.

* Guests

Consider how many will attend the wedding reception and how big
is the site. With the number of guests that you will be having,
can you still set-up bigger decorations that will take some
floor space?

If you have a large number of guests, you may just want to
set-up floor decorations near the stage and dance floor where
most of the program will take place. Also, you might want to opt
for smaller but finely detailed table decorations.

Also consider if there will be kids who will be attending the
wedding reception. Kids may get bored during the program and
start playing with the decorations that can cause an unsightly
mess. So you may just get decorations that are not so fragile.

Another tip, if you will be having several kids as guests, you
may have a kids area, where they can mingle with other kids and
where the decorations and food are more suited for their age.

* Budget

Improperly chosen decorating ideas will not look well even if
these cost much. Also, choosing just two or three decorating
ideas, as long as these are implemented well can make a ceremony
and reception look lavish.

Also, it is not necessary to buy every item that will be used as
decorations. Some professional decorators can give you
information on vases, mirrors, table centerpieces, dried flower
arrangements, arc ways, pedestals and plants that will only be
used for one day.

With these, just adding a few candles, laces and fresh flowers
will make your wedding site and reception exquisite.

A final budgeting advice, check with the wedding rite venue
director if there are other weddings that will take place during
the day. If so, you may want to coordinate with the couple that
will be using the venue before or after you. The may agree with
your decorating ideas or add some of their own, and agree to
just split the decorating expenses with you.

I thought I’d put my two or three cents into a blog, related to
dating in the new milllenium. It sure seems like it is the same
as it was in the old millenium. Same people, same games, same
end result.

Hopefully by putting what I think will be pertinent information
on my blog and in to my dating and friends online network, I can
help some of you out there. To find, and keep, someone who will
make you happy for the long run. Or at least make some new
friends along the way.

None of us are alone in this challenge. I truly think it was
easier in the old days. You met someone, fell in love, and you
lived happily ever after. Not anymore. You have stalkers, ex
spouse baggage, kids, attorneys, STD’s, and financial woes all
around you. So how do you find the power to pull it all together
and actually make a relationship work? The answer to that and a
few more questions are being addressed daily by me, and I
believe between us all, we can make some sense of it.

Good Luck,

There has not been a time in the history of the personal computer that firewalls and anti-virus programs have been more necessary and in-demand. Today, personal computer security is not only threatened by viruses and worms, but also by spyware – those severely annoying programs that are illegally loaded onto your computer from the internet. Spyware programs can seriously undermine the operating structure of your computer, as well as make you vulnerable to identity theft and other criminal activities. Firewalls, long since a staple in the corporate world for defending large, expensive internal intranets or other networks, has now come into its own as a tool for personal computer owners as well. Your home computer is just as susceptible – if not more so – to online attacks, so why should it not be protected?

What is a firewall, anyway?

For those of you who may not be as versed in the pc security lingual as some, we offer here a fairly simple definition. A firewall is a collection of security programs that act to block unauthorized users from gaining access to a particular computer network (or single computer). Most firewalls also comprehensively monitor and report the data transfers between the network and the outside internet environment. Thus, they are quite effective in keeping your computer or network safe, allowing you to access the internet without taking a high security risk.

Sygate Personal Firewalls

There are few highly reputable firewall providers out there, and Sygate is certainly one of them. Here we go over some of the features of the Sygate line firewalls, so that you may choose the best one for your pc or server.

Sygate currently offers two main personal firewalls: the Sygate Personal Firewall (SPF) and the Sygate Personal Firewall Plus (SPFP). The major differences between the two are the advanced features you will only find on the SPFP. With the Plus version you will get VPN support, intrusion detection system (IDS), active reponse, and anti-mac, anti-ip spoofing. Both versions of the software come with the material that any pc user should really make sure they have: the main “application” firewall, intrusion alarm system, attacker tracing system, and security policy customization. These features are what are really necessary for a firewall to protect your home computer. The firewall needs to be able to block outsiders from gaining access to your computer, and they need to alert you when an attack has been attempted (or is in progress). Considering that the SPF is essentially free to download, and contains the elements you really need, this is the application we recommend for home pc users. For small business networks, the more advanced features offered by the Sygate Personal Firewall Plus is certainly worth the $40.00 pricetag. Both options are solid firewall applications and can be highly trusted to perform well on nearly any system.

Norton Personal Firewalls

Sygates closest competition in the area of personal firewall is Norton. Norton anti-virus programs are very well known, and have largely carried the brand over the last decade. Although less well known, Norton offers a powerful and comprehensive firewall program for home pc owners. Norton Personal Firewall 2005 is similar to the Sygate Personal Firewall program mentioned above. Some of the neat features of this application include the Norton Privacy Control (which keeps information from being sent without your knowledge in email, instant messages, MS Office attachments, and various forms on the web, such as those you enter your credit card number in), and intrusion prevention system that automatically blocks suspicious incoming traffic (from hackers, etc.). If this product is anywhere near as well designed and engineered as the anti-virus programs from Norton, then it is definately worth a look. The software can be downloaded or ordered online for $49.

“Heroes are rebels with a cause. Rebels because they challenge the traditional ways of thinking and refuse to follow the herd. They have a cause, a vision, that’s larger than life.” - Sharif Khan, author of Psychology of the Hero Soul

From a small-town Polish boy born to a retired army officer to become Pope; from a hard life in Nazi occupied Poland, his mother dead of kidney and heart failure, an older brother dead from scarlet fever, to become quite possibly “man of the century.” How did such an unlikely candidate for the head of the Roman Catholic Church rise so quickly to such prominence? What leadership lessons can we learn from this global spiritual leader who so moved the world? Here is a brief timeline snap-shot of Karol Josef Wojtyla’s exemplary leadership:

Knowledge
1958: Pope Pius XII names Wojtyla auxiliary bishop of Krakow.

By this time, Wojtyla was a professor of ethics and had two doctorate degrees; he had studied theology in clandestine during the oppressive Nazi occupation of Poland.

Leadership lesson: leaders are readers. Specialized knowledge is key to leadership along with general studies. While Wojtyla had two doctorates in his field, he also studied philosophy and literature and was also a playwright and a poet. If you were to take an hour-a-day reading up in your field and applying the knowledge, within a period of five years you would become an ‘expert’ within your field. People are hungering and thirsting for a leader with knowledge and experience.

In Wojtyla’s case, he took the time to gain knowledge of the world, himself, and beyond. As a chaplain for university students in Krakow, he used to go on frequent camping and kayaking trips and offered counseling and mentorship to the students. On these excursions, he would usually take an hour or more to be alone by himself to reflect, read, and pray. These moments of solitude gave him a strong internal compass and knowledge of self required of great leaders.

Humility
1978: Elected Pope John Paul II becoming the 264th pope and first non-Italian pope in 456 years; refuses formal papal coronation in favor of a simple inauguration ceremony and chooses not to use the royal plural “We” referring to himself plainly as “I”.

Wojtyla was not impressed by the trappings of power and its symbols and made that clear from the day he was elected Pope. He had a very simple, plain, and honest way of communicating that endeared people to him. He exemplified the servant-leader role by embodying one of the titles of the Pope: Servus Servorum Dei (Servant of the Servants of God).

Leadership lesson: leaders are humble. We can learn from Wojtyla’s example by not isolating ourselves in the corner office or ivory tower with each successive promotion, hiding behind closed doors and a sea of fancy titles, diplomas, awards, certificates, and press-clippings. Like Wojtyla, we can make ourselves available to our people with open doors, seeking to understand and encouraging dialogue. Leadership by walking around and talking to people and listening to their needs earns respect and trust.

Heart
1979: Visits his homeland, Poland, for the first time as Pope and speaks to his people, inspiring Solidarity, the first independent labor movement in the Soviet bloc.

Risking his life against the totalitarian Communist Regime in Poland, Wojtyla returned to his homeland and did not speak in the typical, official ‘visiting dignitary’ tone. He spoke from his heart, from the gut, soul-to-soul – in their language. The people of Poland saw themselves reflected in him; he encouraged them to not crawl like animals but walk tall and ‘be not afraid.’ The crowd went wild and a flame of rebellion and counter-revolution was lit in the collective consciousness of the Polish people, sparking the Solidarity movement for independence and freedom that eventually toppled the Communist Regime.

Leadership lesson: leaders have heart. Intellect is not enough; both head and heart have to be married. If you want to win over people, risk letting down your guard and speak from the heart. The leader that speaks from the heart almost always wins over reason alone.

Forgiveness
1983: Meets with assassin Ali Agca in prison.

Just two years after the assassination attempt on his life by gunman, Mehmet Ali Agca, and several months of painful recovery, the Pope visited Agca in prison and offered forgiveness. (Much later, in 2000, the Italian government granted clemency to Agca, on the Pope’s request).

Leadership lesson: leaders are willing to forgive. We are all fallible human beings that make mistakes. The mark of a true leader is his or her willingness to forgive. It’s also a smart leadership strategy in the long-term. While there’s no excuse to keep someone who consistently fails to learn from their mistakes, the boss that fires an employee for making a big mistake is often mistaken for doing so. After all, there’s always the risk that the next person hired could potentially make the same disastrous mistake. But by offering forgiveness to the person that errs, that person is unlikely to repeat that same mistake, and will most likely remain fiercely loyal to you.

Responsibility
2000: Offers a day of apology for sins committed by members of the Catholic Church over the centuries; visits Israel and pays homage to the victims of the Holocaust.

Wojtyla was the first pope to visit the Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland in 1979, and later in 2000, he visited Jerusalem’s Yad Vashem in remembrance of the six million Jews who died in the Holocaust, praying for reconciliation between Christians and Jews and apologizing for the sin of anti-Semitism by Christians.

The day that former U.S. President, John F. Kennedy, took full responsibility for the Bay of Pigs fiasco, was the day he became a leader. The day that Wojtyla apologized and took responsibility for the sins of anti-Semitism committed by Christians, was the day he became a truly respected global leader.

Leadership lesson: leaders take full responsibility for their organization. Blaming and complaining is the mark of a loser. We can make excuses or we can make progress – but we certainly can’t do both. To be a leader, you must take full responsibility for your actions, your team, and ultimately the whole organization or cause you lead.

Uncommon Leadership
1982 – 2003: Receives PLO leader Arafat; Meets Gorbachev as first pope to meet with a Kremlin Chief; visits Cuba and meets with Castro; becomes first pope in history to enter a mosque.

Despite criticism from many corners on the controversial issues he supported, Wojtyla was not one to ever back down. He stood for what he believed in and had the courage of convictions. As a leader, he was tough but flexible. His flexibility allowed him to meet famous, and infamous, world leaders and address difficult issues that made him unpopular in certain circles. But he also had the inner toughness and steely resolve to break down walls and foster reconciliation. As Pope and head of the Roman Catholic Church he knew his role was to unify the Church while serving as an apostle of justice and peace. He stood his ground and never wavered, even if it meant alienation.

Leadership lesson: leaders stand for what they believe in. Leadership is not about winning a popularity contest. Stand up for what you believe in. Be strong and be firm. A divided mind is weak; a united mind, clear and singular in purpose, is powerful beyond measure.

Legacy: Rebel with a Cause
1920 – 2005: A legacy of leadership.

Pope John Paul II was a rebel with a cause. A champion of human worth and dignity, a freedom fighter, a torch bearer for social justice, he left a lasting legacy of leadership and moral example that the world can follow. Asked once, if he feared retaliation from government officials, he replied (according to biographer George Weigel), “I’m not afraid of them. They are afraid of me.” Indeed, he relayed a message to the world that will echo through eternity: “Be not afraid!”

There have been studies that suggest as much as a 10 to 20 percent hike in the value of a home when there’s a great landscape lighting design. All it takes is putting in something for your home that instantly ensures that your property is more attractive, secure and safer. There’s an increasing tendency to opt for landscape lighting as the means enhancing the ambience of just about any building or area of darkness that has triggered a spurt in the lighting industry.

Currently the landscape lighting industry is in throes of escalating growth. With the paucity of contractors with proper training in landscape lighting, landscape professionals never had it so good to cash in on the success. Each complete project should mean exponential growth of a contractor’s success. The dynamic nature of landscape lighting makes new lighting jobs attractive to just about everyone.

An intention to incorporate landscape lighting in your house requires you to make sure of the capabilities the lighting professional for doing justice to your project. Careful consideration is essential. It is crucial that you have confidence in the designer’s ability of taking on the challenge of a lighting plan that adapts to the uniqueness of your home and the landscaping.

It need not be as expensive as you fear to avail the services of a landscape contractor or a professional architect designer for your home. A minor job of lighting a patio and pathways may ideally require a consultation for two or three hours of a tour through your property. Ask the designer to mark spots for fixtures with flags or markers, describe the intensity and direction of the light at each point and advise you on electrical contractors for the job.

The average rate charged by a landscape lighting designer may be between $80 and 120 an hour and if a blueprint or drawings are required, the charges will increase. The primary objective of your professional designer should be to provide you with multiple options for your house. When you decide on a rough plan, solicit quotes from a number of landscape lighting contractors for low voltage lighting and ordinary line voltage lighting. Make comparisons between each price quote of all the contractors to pick out the one most suitable for you.

On finalizing your decision of the landscape lighting contractor, make it a point to mention that there should be provision for adequate movement of the fixture locations. Extra cable for every fixture will make it possible to conduct changes after installation as well as several years later. Try and achieve a combination of energy-efficient light bulbs with motion sensors that illuminate only in the presence of people. This will not only result in convenience and security but also significant reduction in energy use.

Keep in mind at all times that the main purpose of the light is to create shadows and patterns of light to enhance yard art, fountains, gardens and your home. The position of the light should be in front of and below the object to be lit. This makes the object or part of the house the focal point. Irrespective of your reasons for installing the lighting in your house, energy consumption should be a high priority for keeping electric bills minimal and do your bit for the environment.

Finally, take the help of friends, relatives, neighbors and colleagues to make your selection of the most suitable landscape lighting professional or contractor. Remember it is not only beauty and serenity that you are adding to your house but also raising the value of your dream home.

The other day we took a walk out to a nearby field. Behind several tall pines, hidden away from open view, a single, small flower spread its blossoms toward the sun. It was a deep red, vivid— very strong and straight on its thin stem.

“Proud,” Jim said.

“Proud and powerful,” Judith answered.

We both knelt next to it, captivated, surrendering to an unexpected meditation.

So unseen this little red miracle was, so out of the way, and that didn’t matter at all. Appreciated or not, it gave all it had to its life.

“Can we give everything,” Jim whispered, “even if what we do goes unacknowledged?”

“Especially if it goes unacknowledged!” Judith smiled.

“I’d like that,” Jim said, taking Judith by the hand. “To live for the sheer experience of being alive.”

We felt small next to this giant flower and, although we hadn’t said a word, we knew we were suddenly filled with deep longing.

Intimacy is like that, you know. When we allow ourselves to open and connect, intimacy can be an unexpected teacher, taking us into unacknowledged places in our self.

Whenever any of us stops long enough to open, to feel the tenderness that is at the core of being alive, the magic of the mystery appears—right there, wherever we are.

That little red flower became a portal, a threshold into the world of the ordinary and the sacred, into something completely expected and yet utterly surprising. That’s the pleasure and the reward of real intimacy. It takes you through what you already know out beyond your imagination.

We stayed with that flower for some minutes, each in our own silence. And then, as though on cue, we rose, and walked hand in hand back to the house.

There are opportunities all around you, right now, in your daily life, for intimacy to carry you into yourself and out toward those you love.

Let it. Just say yes, open your eyes and let it.

I am very interested in reading about ghostly stories and
spirits etc. A couple of years ago I heard about a story which
is apparently true, about a murder which was solved from the
grave.

This happened in the UK.

A woman in her twenties always believed she had special powers
of being able to have contact with the spiritual world, however
she did not want these powers and she certianly had never told
anybody else about it. For the purpose of this article, I will
call the lady Sue.

One evening about five miles away from where Sue lived, another
young lady who I will call Lisa, was brutally murdered by
somebody she had never met before.

Sue and Lisa had never met.

As you may be aware, the police find it harder to solve murder
cases where the victim is unknown to their killer. These types
of murder are also quite rare.

Later that evening Sue was awaken by a noise in her bedroom. As
she sat up there was a woman on her bed sobbing, it was Lisa.
Sue who was strangely quite calm asked her, who she was, why she
was crying and why she was in her bedroom.

“I have just been murdered, I know you can help me”

Sue who was obviously shocked, asked how she could help her.

“I want to tell you what has happened to me and I want to
describe the killer to you. I then want you to go to the police
station tommorrow to tell them what I have told you. This will
help them to find the killer, then I will be able to rest in
peace.”

Sue reluctantly agreed and Lisa disappeared.

Sue did go to the police and described the killer, telling them
many things about him, including that he had a tattoo on his arm
with the words “crazy fox” on.

The police did not take her as a serious witness, even though
they found it strange that she seemed to know so much about the
killing itself.

The murder itself went unsolved for twenty years, until a man
was arrested for drunk driving. The police took his DNA and it
was matched to the murder of Lisa.

Have a guess what he had tattoed on his arm, “crazy fox”.

I SEE… I MUST…I Will Three Key Words To Help Us Live Exceptional Lives © Lee Wise 2003 All rights reserved

A GREAT TRIO

If someone were to present a set of Olympic medals to the
top three finalists for key phrases that help propel us
toward living an exceptional style of life, the finalists
might very well be:

*I see!
*I must!
*I will!

“I SEE”

I see is vision.

It is the ability — or sense — of a “way we need to go.”
It may be an inner emotion that says…

“We should do this… and we can do this.”

It may be a burden on the heart that won’t go away. Or a dream that must be realized.

You just see it.

You see the book produced, the organization formed, the
children helped, the homes built, or the people energized.

Next comes…

“I MUST”

This is the feeling that something *must* be done.

In this phase of living the exceptional style of life, there
is a strong personal *conviction* that is inherently present
at the beginning or developed over a period of time.

I see — that’s vision. I must — that’s conviction.

Then comes…

“I WILL”

No surprise here: the final medallist that steps onto the
winners’ block is *determination.*

As the watching world expresses its appreciation…

What *could* be done Is joined by what *must* be done And they both welcome what *will* done…

Into the spotlight reserved for those who survived years and
years of training for the purpose of receiving the honor they
deserve.

SAID IN ANOTHER WAY…

Right Vision
+
Strong Conviction
+
Determination
=
Focused, Exceptional Living

And of course that spells “influence” in great big capital
letters.

Think about it:

The power of living an exceptional life is the power of influence.

A WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT

May I encourage you to hold on to the positive, well thought
through “visions” you have entertained over the years?

And to pay attention to the feelings inside of you that
say, “This must be done”?

Maybe the timing is not right… for now. Maybe it shouldn’t happen… just yet.

Or possibly it should! It could be the time for determination to take the stand and cause you to make the
first step towards the accomplishment your vision.

Or the second.
Or the third.

I don’t know — but chances are you do.

Yours for a day filled with beautiful moments in time,
