Good food for thought

Who's In Charge -- You or Your Technology?

Technology is magical and fantastic -- it takes us to places we'll
never go... allows us to reconnect with high school pals or say "I
love you" via text, e-mail, instant message (or all three)... and lets
us watch, again and again, the sweet moments of a child's first piano
recital... and, if you're so inclined, to share them with the world on
Facebook or YouTube.

However, technology also tends to take over our lives, says Daily
Health News contributor and life coach Lauren Zander, noting that all
these devices have complicated much about our lives -- even the
single, simple and supposedly mindless act of relaxing. Watching your
favorite sitcom on TV has turned into an exercise of "hit the mute
button during commercials and do e-mail or text on your laptop or
phone," points out Lauren. Technology blocks our ability to live the
good life by gulping up available time that could, and often should,
be spent on other more productive activities... and by putting up a
barrier that gets in the way of relationships and experiences that
could otherwise be more enriching. Lauren and I discussed how to turn
this around so that we all stay in charge of our technology... and not
the other way around.

Who Has "Free" Time?

Lauren points out that free time is precious, in that it offers a
special opportunity to follow pursuits that make life richer,
including personal exploration or development. But who has time for
these pursuits? "Most people would be embarrassed to admit how many
hours they waste on technology," she said, calling it the "ultimate
distraction" and a "thief of intimacy." The result is that people
often are too busy surfing the Web, returning e-mails and the like, to
be truly present in their relationships. The thriving Internet porn
industry provides an extreme example of how this is so. "The anonymous
nature of Internet porn allows people to let their dark side run
amok," says Lauren. "It is a way for people to think they are happy in
their virtual world and to numb themselves to the disappointments they
experience in their real relationships."

But even those whose online activities are aboveboard fall prey to the
seductive qualities of online communication and social media. Texting
and e-mailing can be easy, straightforward and incredibly efficient
ways to communicate -- but doing so habitually means you end up only
skimming the surface of a relationship. There's no nuance of gesture,
eye contact, tone of voice or physical connection to tell you how
someone really feels. You get only a piece of the interaction, and
it's often the least important part.

Technology also is seductive in how it makes us feel so important and
desired. Responding to the buzz of your cell phone or that ding
announcing that a text message has arrived is -- momentarily, at least
-- far more gratifying then listening to your elderly mother complain
about her sore hip. But, of course, your eager response to the
distraction leaves mom feeling left behind and unimportant.
Occasionally emergencies really do require your attention, but when
such interruptions become a pattern in a relationship, problems are
likely to arise.

Be Here Now

Technology also can rob you of the joy of full engagement. If you're
taking a video of your grandson's first at-bat of the season, your
experience of the moment is restricted to the viewfinder -- forever.
Yes, you capture the moment so that you can enjoy it again and again.
But you'll miss lots, too -- like how your own son is puffed up with
pride (or anxiety), not to mention actually witnessing the richness of
your grandson's performance and relishing your own good feelings about
it. Wouldn't it be better to hand the camera to someone else so that
you can be fully present for what's happening, creating your own
memories that will make the experience all the richer?

Putting the Leash on Technology

Far too many people have fallen into the habit of constantly accepting
the siren call of communication tools and technology. To keep that
from happening -- or to stop the habit if you are already addicted --
requires setting rules, says Lauren. This will "put a leash on the
problem so technology serves you without stealing all of your life."
She has several simple suggestions...

Assess exactly how much time you are devoting to technology and for
what purposes. What is necessary, satisfying and life-enhancing...
what is just killing time? What more rewarding activities could you be
doing with that time instead? Lauren admits that she recently realized
that she was no longer reading books -- just e-mails, reports and
other online content. "Reading feeds creativity and imagination and
I've always loved it, but I hadn't read a single book in two years!
The problem wasn't how busy my children keep me. It was that I had
turned my free time over to my laptop -- doing e-mails and surfing the
Internet," she says.
Be mindful of what's really happening. Remember that your life is not
a photo album or a movie -- those are mementos, not the point. If
you're spending time with your family, turn off the technology and
enjoy yourselves.

Set limits on how and when you use technology -- and respect those
limits. Lauren calls this an issue of integrity. Technology can become
an addiction that makes it easy to avoid thinking about real
challenges, such as a troubled relationship or an unhappy work
situation. It provides a reason to avoid time with the person or
problem that might resolve the issue.

To restore balance, you might decide family meals are sacrosanct (no
phone interruptions allowed)... or leave all laptops at home when you
go on vacation... or take no text messages except when you are at work
-- what, when and how much is up to you and your family. What's
important, however, is that you stick to the limits you set... because
you value your real life most of all.

Lauren reminds us that when it comes to technology, we need to
remember who's the boss. You don't work for it -- it works for you.
Use your gadgets with this in mind, and they will indeed be useful and
life-enhancing.

BS Communications – Good of the Order and leaving no one behind

 

 This perception is common in all organizations and is the result of poor communications or information about the project tasks at hand.

 

Less BS (bombastic showmanship and fluff or…the organic version) really improves the levels of performance at all levels and is to everyone’s mutual gain and advantage. 

 

It is also true that those that BS the most, have and spend less time to constructively fulfil their tasks and the projects that have committed too. This is a common problem that always consumes limited resources and is at the expense of those that have the responsibility and integrity to complete that assigned task.

 

It is our hope that in 2010 we can leave the non essential BS behind and get on with our “ core values” through better communications   “Lets constructively  bridge  the gaps please “S. Holle

 

Other grand knight notes going into the new decade

 

History always repeats itself and adapting to current realities is a natural part of any renewal process. Our fraternal organization was founded to help those in real need, to combat prejudices, “to be a Shield and sword for those in Distress “or to make a real difference to all participants. Today there are many people in distress who need us, our energy, our help our leadership, our resource , our support and constructive encouragement.

 

Over time some council have “Strayed” from these basic core values and moved into the “irrelevant and publicly perceived Feathers and fluff territory”. This has weakened us to the point of becoming a irrelevant and a minor force in our community, or to those that by “our oath “we are “bound” to serve . Many well meaning procedures have become procedures for procedures sake or excuses for not doing things. Poor communications are obviously counterproductive and impede the local community building processes. ( Some of our halls are drab and represent ghosts of splendour past – we need to revitalize our membership “right now” and in the future)

Give and Grow Rich Food for thought by D Innes

. Give and Grow Rich   Good Food for thought by  D Innes

 

 

Jesus Christ said, "Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."1

 

Giving from the heart is really an outward expression of gratitude. In life there are two types of people: grateful givers and selfish takers. When it comes to giving help, time, or money, takers are closed- fisted. They give little and live primarily for themselves and, "being wrapped up in themselves, make a very small package." On the other hand, givers who give from the heart give of themselves as well as of their time, talents, help, love, support, and of their resources and money. They may or may not be financially secure, but regardless, they are rich in generosity and the things that matter most in life.

 

In his young struggling years, W. L. Douglass, the shoe manufacturer, "had been unemployed so long that he was down to his last dollar. Nevertheless, he put half of it—fifty cents—in the collection basket of his church. Next morning he heard of a job in a neighboring town. The railroad fare to that town was one dollar. To all appearances it would have been wiser if he had kept that fifty cents. However, with the half-dollar remaining he bought a ticket and rode halfway to the desired place. He stepped from the train and began to walk to the town.

 

"Before he had gone one block he heard of a factory right in that town where they were employing men. Within Within thirty minutes he had a job at a salary five dollars more a week [a good sum back then] than he would have received had he gone on to the other town."2

 

It is a fact of life, the more we give—whether it is of ourselves, our help, our love, our support, and/or of our resources—the richer we become. And the richer we become, the more we have to give. And when it comes to giving to God, we simply cannot out-give him.

 

Question: Among your friends and contacts would you be considered a giver or a taker? Being a giver is a choice. You can start that today by being a friend and giving someone a kind word of encouragement and a warm smile. In addition, of course, there is the keeper. He doesn't give nor does he take, he just keeps?

"Shelter keeps people Out of the Cold

We can always use more volunteers," said Kopczyk, adding a special plea for male volunteers, who are always in short supply.

movies worth watching in 2010

Truly Inspiring Movies Worth Seeing... or Seeing Again

Steven Jay Schneider
Blumhouse Productions

 s more movies are being produced than ever before, it's easy to miss some of the best ones. Many excellent low-budget films don't come to our attention simply because they often are not well promoted.
Steven Jay Schneider, editor of two books on movies and a producer at Paramount Pictures, has an insider's perspective into some of the great inspiring movies of recent years. His top choices...
THE STRAIGHT STORY
Ever wanted to patch things up with a family member? In The Straight Story, Alvin discovers that his estranged brother Lyle has suffered a stroke. Alvin, played by Richard Farnsworth, is 73 years old, and Lyle, played by Harry Dean Stanton, is 75 years old.
The problem is that Lyle lives about 300 miles away, and Alvin can't legally drive because of his poor eyesight. But riding his lawn mower isn't illegal, and that's what Alvin does. Traveling at about five miles an hour, Alvin's 300-mile journey is filled with events that are as unexpected as his choice of vehicles.
Made in 1999, The Straight Story inspires because, while the obstacles faced by Alvin may seem small in relative terms, they are huge to him.
THE LEGEND OF BAGGER VANCE
The best young golfer in Georgia, Rannulph Junuh, volunteers to serve in World War I, but returns home to Savannah with crippling depression. Played by Matt Damon, Rannulph is unable to pursue his promising golf career and has even lost interest in Adele, once the love of his life.
Fast-forward to 1931, when Savannah is going through harsh economic times. Adele's father has invested his fortune in a golf resort and now faces bankruptcy. To salvage the resort, Adele wants to stage a match between the best golfers of the day, Bobby Jones and Walter Hagen.
Old friends in Savannah insist that Rannulph also play. Out of nowhere, a mysterious caddy, Bagger Vance, appears, telling Rannulph that he'll coach him for the tournament. Played by Will Smith, Bagger does just that, and the match proceeds in scenes that will take your breath away.
Directed by Robert Redford, The Legend of Bagger Vance was made in 2000.
THE WIND WILL CARRY US
No matter how difficult our lives can be at times, they might not seem too difficult after you watch The Wind Will Carry Us. Don't expect a tightly constructed plot. In fact, the movie leaves a huge amount to viewers' imaginations.
The main character, an Iranian named Behzad, goes to a small village in his country. Behzad's mission isn't fully explained, but in the village, he meets people to whom city dwellers often condescend. In scenes that are often dramatic and beautiful, Behzad changes his views about the villagers. The Wind Will Carry Us lets us share Behzad's insights and experience rare glimpses of the harsh realities of rural Iran.
Made in 2000, The Wind Will Carry Us is in Farsi with English subtitles.
GATTACA
If you enjoy rooting for an underdog, Gattaca will motivate you in a way that few movies could hope to do. The film takes place in the near future, when genetic engineering enables people to be born with very high IQs. Those who are not genetically engineered, however, are stigmatized and permitted to have only menial jobs.
One of these "in-valids," as they're called, is played by Ethan Hawke, who concocts an ingenious plan that he hopes will beat the system. Suspense follows in nearly every scene. In the end, we learn that success has less to do with IQ than with other human traits.
Gattaca was made in 1997 and also stars Uma Thurman and Gore Vidal.
STAND AND DELIVER
We all know that today's schools are a far cry from what they were a couple of generations ago. In many urban areas, high schools are particularly violent, and many students drop out.
Stand and Deliver is based on actual events that occurred after a new math teacher came to Garfield High School in East Los Angeles, an area long known for gang violence. Played by Edward James Olmos, the teacher has faith in his students' abilities, and defying the odds, they pass the rigid Advanced Placement Calculus Exam.
The results, however, are called into question when authorities discover similarities in the exam answers. Instead of caving in, the teacher asks the students to take the test again -- even though they have only one day to prepare. In the final scenes, the students do indeed "stand and deliver."
Made in 1988, the movie also stars Lou Diamond Phillips and Andy Garcia.
GLORY
Most Americans study the Civil War in school, but few of us learn about the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Regiment. The 54th was the first black regiment to fight in the war. Unlike many other films about the Civil War, Glory, the story of the 54th, was meticulously researched for historical accuracy.
As he puts the regiment together, Captain Robert Shaw, played by Matthew Broderick, discovers that any white Northern officer captured while leading black troops against the Confederacy will be executed. The troops, meanwhile, learn that any blacks captured wearing a Union uniform will also be hanged. Shaw gives them a chance to back out, but not one soldier leaves. Battles fought by the 54th inspire other volunteers, and by the end of the war, some 300,000 African-Americans are fighting on the side of the Union.
The 1989 movie also stars Denzel Washington, Cary Elwes and Morgan Freeman.
