EWTN Mourns Passing of Deacon Bill Steltemeier
Catholic PRWire
IRONDALE, AL (February 15, 2013) - Deacon Bill Steltemeier, 83, who was known to millions of television viewers around the world as the longtime associate of EWTN Foundress Mother Angelica, died peacefully early this morning, Feb. 15, at his home in Hanceville, Alabama following a lengthy illness.
�Other than Mother Angelica herself, there is no one who has been more closely associated with the mission of EWTN throughout its history than Deacon Bill Steltemeier,� said EWTN President & Chief Executive Officer Michael P. Warsaw. �In all respects, he was a man of incredible faithfulness. As a husband, a father, an attorney and in his vocation as a permanent deacon, Bill always remained focused on serving God and serving others. He devoted himself totally to Mother Angelica�s mission and sacrificed all he had to help her build EWTN into the tremendous vehicle for evangelization that it has become. I was privileged to know and work alongside Bill for twenty-five years and to succeed him as president and chief executive of the Network he loved so much. While we mourn his passing, we take comfort from his own example of faith and are confident he has heard those words from the Gospel of Matthew, �Well done good and faithful servant�enter into the joy of your master.��
Philadelphia Archbishop Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap., the longest-serving member of EWTN�s Board of Governors, knew Deacon Bill well. "Mother Angelica's vision and dedication inspired the founding of Eternal Word Television Network, but the man who more than anyone turned her vision into practical reality was Deacon Bill Steltemeier. As Mother's coworker, right hand and friend for many years, Bill lived out a tremendous commitment to bringing the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the world through the modern media. He was an extraordinary man, and millions of EWTN viewers will remember him with gratitude and respect. May God console his family and grant him eternal light and joy."
Born in 1929 in Nashville, Tenn., to the late Rudolph William Steltemeier, Sr., and Mary Ione (Phippen) Steltemeier, R. William Steltemeier, Jr., attended Chaminade College Preparatory School in St. Louis, Mo., and Vanderbilt University. He married Ramona Schnupp on Aug. 22, 1953. A year later, after graduating from Vanderbilt Law School, Bill entered the United States Army and served for two years in France. In 1960, he co-founded the Nashville law firm of Steltemeier & Westbrook specializing in bankruptcy and commercial law. After fifty years, the firm is still serving clients in middle-Tennessee with expanded areas of practice.
Both as a lawyer and as a committed Catholic, Bill served his community in many ways. For more than three decades, he was engaged in assisting prisoners in both their civil and spiritual rehabilitation. He co-founded a prison Junior Chamber of Commerce program, and served on the boards of the 7-Step Foundation, Operation Comeback, and the Dismas House, organizations dedicated to helping former prisoners transform their lives. In 1975, he was appointed by the Governor of Tennessee to the state's review board for prison reform.
Of greatest significance, however, was his ordination on April 26, 1975, as a permanent deacon for the Diocese of Nashville by Bishop Joseph A. Durick. Deacon Bill was among the first men in the United States to be ordained to the permanent diaconate. Following his ordination, he was appointed Catholic Chaplain to the Tennessee State Prison for Men.
On March 9, 1978, while attending a legal convention in Chicago, Deacon Bill first encountered Mother Mary Angelica. While Mother Angelica was speaking, Deacon Bill heard an interior voice say to him, �Until the day you die.� He knew from that moment that his life would be devoted to serving Mother Angelica.
When EWTN was formed in 1980, Deacon Bill became the Network�s first President and a founding board member. In 1985, he resigned from his law firm to dedicate himself full-time to Mother Angelica and EWTN. For 22 years, Bill would commute each week from his home in Nashville to the Network�s headquarters in Irondale.
Upon Mother Angelica�s retirement from active leadership of EWTN in March of 2000, Deacon Bill took over the offices of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. Though he retired from the role of chief executive in 2009, he continued to serve as Chairman of the Network�s Board of Governors until his death.
In May 2008, the degree of Doctor of Laws, Honoris Causa, was conferred upon Deacon Bill by Ave Maria University in recognition of his accomplishments and service to the Catholic Church.
In October 2009, Deacon Bill was awarded the Pontifical Medal Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice by His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI in recognition of his lifetime of extraordinary service to the Church.
Deacon Bill Steltemeier is survived by his wife of 59 ...

Souhrn od vydavatele
"Academic yet accessible, this volume offers thoughtful and occasionally disturbing insights into the workings of the world's most powerful war machine." --Publishers Weekly"The world has changed dramatically for the American military in recent years. The volunteer army, re-examined in this book, has seen increased media scrutiny, questions arising from the use of contractors in war zones, and-of course-new technologies like remotely piloted aircraft that have dramatically changed the nature of warfare. And yet there are few scholarly works that look comprehensively at the challenges that the armed forces face and the responses that are required. The thoughtful essays in David Kennedy's new book explore this uniquely American institution both through the lens of history and current circumstances. We owe it to our servicemen and women and to those who command them to examine critically and debate the state of military affairs. This book is a significant contribution to that cause."-Condoleezza Rice, former Secretary of State "The Modern American Military is essential reading. It brightly illuminates how profoundly the armed services have changed with the advent of new enemies, new weapons, new doctrines and a new generation of volunteer forces. Equally important, it insightfully shows how those changes are reshaping the critical relationship between the American military and American society."-Philip Taubman, former New York Times Washington bureau chief, consulting professor at Stanford University and author of The Partnership, Five Cold Warriors and Their Quest to Ban the Bomb"A collection of incisive and controversial essays covering matters as diverse - and essential - as military culture and technology, contracting and doctrine, this is a book for anyone interested in the armed forces of what remains the most powerful country on earth."-Eliot A. Cohen, Robert E. Osgood Professor of Strategic Studies, Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies Přečíst více...

Female giant panda Tian Tian in her enclosure at Edinburgh Zoo on Friday, Aug. 9 2013. The female giant panda at Edinburgh Zoo is showing encouraging signs she may be pregnant, according to keepers. The zoo says nesting behavior and changes in hormone levels suggest Tian Tian could be expecting a cub � or experiencing a phantom pregnancy, not uncommon in pandas. The zoo artificially inseminated Tian Tian, or Sweetie, after she was reluctant to mate with male companion Yang Guang, or Sunshine. The two animals arrived from China in 2011, and are the only pandas in Britain. (AP Photo /Danny Lawson/PA)

Fakroddin, 51, whose brown goat, Cocoa, made headlines last year for strutting through Greenwich Village and Times Square, met the woman after she partied with friends at a Manhattan nightclub, prosecutors said." "The suspect is being held on $250,000 and will appear in court on Jan. 18, authorities said.

Zac Posen Spring 2013 | Runway
Zac Posen Spring 2013
The glamorous severity that has been present in Zac Posen's last several collections melted away for Spring 2013, a brilliant spectacle of modeling star power (Naomi Campbell opened the show; Coco Rocha closed it) and a selection of dresses, suits, and gowns that got prettier and softer as the show progressed.
Posen's skilled hands sculpted floral prints into almost sweet, body-hugging frocks with sweetheart necklines and flirty hems. His customarily intricate seam work in these pieces was gentler this season, its lines obscured by the visual softness of chiffon or by mismatched edges of prints coming together. Jackets were embellished with pleats, peplums, or draped lapels, while a few tulle pieces were sheer enough to show their boning — but sufficiently opaque to leave something to the imagination.
But Posen is a gown man through and through, and he displayed his mastery of technique and craft when he sent his floor-length creations down the borrowed balcony of Lincoln Center's Avery Fisher Hall. Embroidery, draping, and pleating abounded in this section of the show. A cascade of blue pleated organza overflowed from the bottom of a satin gown, and the floral prints from earlier in the show turned into embroidery. Erin O'Connor, who last appeared in Posen's Resort 2013 lookbook, walked down the runway in a jade green gown that combined satin and tulle. The designer's final look, a white tiered organza creation — the only dress Rocha will wear during New York Fashion Week — spoke to the tradition of ending haute couture shows with a bridal gown. If this was Posen's way of asserting that he deserves a place among the pantheon of the world's couturiers, it couldn't have come with a better collection.

There is no wrong or right way to garden � only your way.
Your garden should reflect your personality, your style and your needs � and 2015�s gardening trends reflect that same philosophy.
"Now, more than ever, the garden is an extension of self," says Susan McCoy, trend spotter and president of Garden Media Group, a gardening communications company.
"What you cultivate and grow, either inside or out, reflects your personality and the healthy lifestyle you have chosen to live."
In the 2015 trends report, McCoy adds that gardeners, as well as environmentally-conscious consumers, want to preserve the climate. Growing and buying organic and local food remains an important way to achieve that goal, but people are also taking it a step further with backyard chickens, beneficial beehives and even small goats in cities and suburbs.
One trend you may really like � the common clothesline is making a comeback. Have you ever dried whites on a clothesline and then marveled at how pristine they look and how good they smell?
In addition to clotheslines, goats and chickens, 2015 promises to be the year of the "bed head style" of gardening.
"Purposefully un-styled outdoor spaces are the result of intentionally working within the natural landscape," says McCoy.
"This casual landscape style expresses an effortless personality with an �anything goes� attitude."
Thoughtful gardening
In 2015, gardeners will continue to grow more thoughtful and responsible in their plant selections, according to Diane M. Blazek, executive director of the National Garden Bureau
"They are using more drought-tolerant plants that need less water, as well as disease-resistant plants that need less maintenance and products to combat diseases," she says.
In 2015, gardeners will see more plants bred specifically for container gardens, especially among edibles, she adds. And multi-use plants that provide beauty as well as good will give gardeners more options to grow food in traditionally ornamental spots such as front yards, porches and balconies. Many of those multi-purpose plants are All-America Selections � such as Lettuce Sandy, Eggplant Patio Baby and Pepper Pretty �N Sweet � that can be seen at
Year of water
In waterfront communities like southeastern Virginia on the scenic Chesapeake Bay, 2015 will be the year of water � not watering, but waterways, according to Rebekah Eastep, an environmental planner for the Hampton Roads Planning District Commission, which oversees the region-wide askHRgreen.org education and awareness campaign.
"Localities are working hard to reduce water pollution and to get our waterways back on track," she says.
"To do this, they need the help of citizens in each community. Gardening can do so much for reducing water pollution."
Waterway-friendly gardening, she says, includes more flowerbeds and trees to soak up rainwater and filter pollutants, more native plants that thrive with less water and fertilizers, more rain barrels that catch runoff and provide free water and more rain gardens and natural buffers that trap polluted runoff.
Roses still reign
Roses, once all the rage in gardens all their own, now partner with other plants for lovely landscape looks. New hybrids smell good, too.
"We see increased interest worldwide in planting roses in mixed gardens or landscape beds where the roses bloom amidst perennials and shrub � a beautiful look, plus good for keeping roses naturally healthy and free of pests," says rose expert Michael Marriott, senior rosarian of David Austin Roses in Shropshire, England, and the United States
"Gardeners used to consider rose fragrance an extra treat, a bonus," he adds.
"That�s changed: gardeners today expect a delicious fragrance when sniffing a rose, as much as they now expect repeat-flowering all season."
Maid Marion is a new English rose that meets all those expectations, according to Marriott. It produces pink fragrant flowers from early summer till frost, with a soft myrrh scent that becomes fruitier with a distinct clove character.
More thoughts
Of course, aquaponics is on the rise! �Wendy Nicholson Iles, president of the nonprofit Hampton Grows,
Many new trends continue and get better: Pollinator gardening. Using native ornamental grasses in containers as accents in garden beds and as turf replacements. Edible mushroom gardening: using logs inoculated with edible mushrooms as an ornamental feature in your gardens. � Horticulture staff, Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden in Richmond, Va.

Tim Howard is a talker. Hunching his tightly toned body forward in a fauteuil of the weirdly Versailles-esque Grand America Hotel on the eve of the United States men's national team World Cup qualifier with Honduras ( live, Tuesday, 9 p.m. ET ), the American goalkeeper takes obvious delight in it.
Howard talks on the field and off, any chance you give him, and as quickly as he can, sometimes swallowing the end of one sentence in his eagerness to get the next one out. During games, the decibel-level blasts upwards. Then, Howards screams a lot; mostly at defenders, keeping his back line, well, in line.
This has been acutely necessary of late as head coach Jurgen Klinsmann has introduced an entirely new defense. In recent qualifiers, Matt Besler and Omar Gonzalez have formed the pairing in central defense while DaMarcus Beasley has played left back and Geoff Cameron or Brad Evans right back. Besler and Gonzalez are newcomers to the international level, with a mere 16 caps between the...

"For James Burt, it's game over." Faced with paying a $1.5 million ($1.3 million USD) fine to Nintendo -- along with additional court costs -- the 24-year-old Australian man who illegally uploaded New Super Mario Bros. Wii to the internet now has to endure the trite (see: "game over" line) and unsympathetic reporting of a local TV show called "A Current Affair." Here's question one: "You do admit that what you did was quite stupid?" BAM.
Nintendo Australia's Rose Lappin claims the pirated plumber code was downloaded approximately 50,000 times after Burt bought a copy from a retailer that failed to adhere to the street date. "It's no different to stealing anything else," she concluded, reflecting Nintendo's unflinching legal stance in the matter.
As for Burt's considerable debt, he said, "It's something I'm going to have to work through for the rest of my life." It's a clear example and a harsh punishment -- especially when so many pirates escape without repercussion -- that Burt has warned his fellow gamers against. Seriously, guys, do not duplicate that disc.

This is a very beautiful "substantial" collar for a large dog. Love it.
Posted by CHEMPH on 11/20/14 12:27 PM
I really love the collar! It is top quality and really looks great.
I did measure my pets neck before ordering. However, it is still a little snug. User error. No fault of HotDogCollars. Had to add another hole. The collar has a great weight to it and it rides a little lower on my dog than where I measured, so I would recommend going up a size if you are close when measuring wearable length.
Posted by Unknown on 11/05/14 12:59 PM
I was expecting a flimsy collar for my dog. He isn't a tugger when we walk, so I wasn't worried. To my surprise this collar is beautiful. Leather is thick and of good quality. Looks so good on my dog too!
Posted by VERONICA on 06/21/14 9:20 PM
I received Zane's collar today and I love it! The quality of the leather is superb. I purchased the brown collar with gold plate and it actually matches her coat perfectly. Lol

I am very happy with the collar I purchased for my baby boy Bob, He is a 80 pound, 8 month old Great Dane /Mastiff. I ordered the largest Collar they had in the leather with his name on it and they email me saying they didn't have that in stock and I got a smaller size down so he could have a collar. There hard to find for this large puppy. Well it just fits him and since you cant return it I will have to get another one here in about a week or two , he is growing up so fast.

I am impressed by the quality. Handsome on Barkley too! In addition, I like having the additional info lines.
Posted by CATHY KROUT on 03/17/14 9:27 PM
Ordered both a black and brown leather studded collar for both our large dogs. Quality and sizing right on the money and both collars look quite grand on both dogs. The nameplates stand out well and are clearly legible. I'll order again through Hot Dog Collars for all of our dog's needs. Thank you.
Posted by JACKIE on 03/10/14 4:26 PM
I purchased the SuperStud Nameplate collar for my Pit Bull. He has a very large neck and I wanted something leather. The nameplate is a great feature in case he wanders off, as it has my contact info. I just wish it came in a larger size. The #23 fits perfectly right now, but if he gets any bigger it won't.

The whistle was blown about 2-3 seconds before the puck was shot. We won't hear the end of this from Hawks fans!
29 May 2013 - 09:36 PM
Holy crap
29 May 2013 - 09:25 PM

I have no idea how I survived pregnancy without Facebook. I still remember the day my siblings finally got me to sign up — it was just a few weeks after my second child was born, and I was at home and bored.
First it was fun seeing all my old friends and keeping up to date with their lives through status updates and pictures. As time went on and more and more businesses started joining, the use of Facebook has gone up exponentially — it's not just friends showing up in our feeds, but favorite websites and blogs, too.
There is so much amazing information being shared on Facebook every day. Now that I am trying to conceive my fourth child, I am finding a lot of the fan pages to be of great use to me. I get information on the latest research, new studies on how to increase your fertility, and of course, a lot of humor and gorgeous pictures to boot.
I have some pages that I like to visit more often than others and for you, I've compiled my favorite fan pages on Facebook. From trying to conceive, through finding tips on infant feeding, each one of these pages offers something I find very valuable and think you should check them out!

For fans who adore comic books and also live for the rock band Rush, their steampunk dream begins to turn its gears next year.
The music of the Canadian progressive-rock trio makes its way to the comic-book page beginning in March with the six-issue Boom! Studios miniseries Clockwork Angels, based on the group's 2012 concept album of the same name.
Rush lyricist/drummer Neil Peart hatched the coming-of-age story of a naive youngster in a turn-of-the-century world of airborne steam liners, pirates, carnivals, working alchemy and wind-up contraptions with novelist Kevin J. Anderson, who wrote the Clockwork Angels novel and is also penning the comic-book adaptation.
"It's just a beautifully painted world in the music that I tried to capture in the novel and now tried to turn into a different direction," says Anderson, who's working with artist newcomer Nick Robles.
"Who knows, we might have ice follies someday or a Broadway musical."
Even if songs such as Carnies, BU2B and Seven Cities of Gold never make it to official show tune status, Clockwork Angels has grown far bigger than Peart ever imagined.
"Kevin and I had talked for years about combining a novel and an album in some fashion, but I guess the idea had to grow up as Kevin and I did — gaining maturity and confidence in our own separate crafts, while gaining the life experience necessary to give the story its scale and depth," Peart says.
"So, rather than a longtime dream realized, this project is more like a fantastic new dream unfolding before us."
With a feel and tone of Norman Rockwell crossed with The Hobbit, Clockwork Angels introduces teenage Owen Hardy, an assistant apple-orchard manager in a small, out-of-the-way British country village who's in line to get a major promotion when he turns 18.
However, he wants to leave the Tick Tock Tavern and other familiar spots behind to find his fate in the metropolis of Crown City.
"He's a lot like Voltaire's Candide," Anderson says. "We're intentionally following that a little bit, this guy who leaves home and goes on this wild journey. Basically, the rest of the world is weirder than he is."
Crown City is the home of the Watchmaker, a big-brother figure whose pronouncements are issued by the Clockwork Angels, which come out like a gigantic glockenspiel in the middle of the city every day.
Owen runs off and joins a strange steampunk circus — among the carnies a gypsy fortune teller whose entire body is mechanized except for her head. He also learns of the Wreckers, pirates who scavenge booty from cargo steamers, as well as the Anarchist, a man who hides in plain sight wanting to destroy everything.
He's as bent on chaos as much as the Watchmaker is obsessed with order, the apparent "villains" of the tale who aren't so black and white, according to Peart.
"Neither is your typical comic-book evil sociopath, but rather 'extremists' for order and for freedom. Good things taken too far — like good intentions, that excess paves many roads to damnation," the musician says. "As characters, they personify mystery, power and dark fascination, but they also have human weaknesses, like fear, pride and envy."
Peart and Anderson have been friends for more than 25 years, since Anderson sent the drummer a signed copy of his debut novel inspired by the Rush album Grace Under Pressure, "assuming it was going off to the warehouse where the Ark of the Covenant is stored," the author jokes.
Since then, he adds, "we've always wanted to do something that really tied my fiction with his music because we're mutually inspired by each other."
Three years ago while hiking along 14,000-foot-high peaks in the Rocky Mountains during a free day for Peart between gigs, he and Anderson took the first two songs of the fledgling Clockwork Angels album, Caravan and BU2B, and began to build a fantasy narrative.
Anderson crafted a novel but found publishers didn't quite understand the idea of a concept album and book sharing the same story — and it's why, when Boom! head man Ross Ritchie wanted to add Clockwork Angels to his musical stable of Say Anything singer Max Bemis' Polarity and Coheed and Cambria frontman Claudio Sanchez's Kill Audio, Anderson jumped at the opportunity.
"It's like writing the novel to Pink Floyd's The Wall or Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. It's obvious," he says. "But I guess if you don't listen to prog-rock music, you don't understand that there are these big epic stories in all of the songs."
