Why do catholics pray to the Saints?

What a great question, "When should a person pray?" and the answer for me is the following!
**YESTERDAY, we should have prayed to thank the Lord for everything we have and ARE today.
**TODAY we should pray for everything we now enjoy and for the anticipation of a blessed and happy tomorrow.
**TOMORROW we should pray for all that awaits us still in the future.
In short–the best answer to the question is: "In gratitude for this precious time we have spent yesterday, today, and tomorrow–anytime and all the time is the best time to pray."

"So many stories—but one in particular where "I found God in my everyday life." Many years ago, I had finished teaching a dance class at my studio. It was dark and I awaited my husband's arrival to pick me up and close the studio. All the students had left with the exception of one new male student who lingered behind. I knew it was suspicious and I felt very intimidated…and the moment was surreal! Thank GOD my husband came exactly when he did. To this day, I know that it was GOD (through my husband) who protected me from this situation—the male student never returned to class!

I connect my work with my prayer life. I chose Benedict as my Confirmation name partly because I wanted to model my life according to the Benedictine motto "Ora et labora". I also pray daily to St. Joseph, the patron of workers, to help me align my profession to my vocation as a husband and father. And of course, I make sure to dedicate one day to the Lord and rest. Not only is this a way to remind myself of my dependence upon God in my work (Jn 15: 5); but rest allows us to break the routines of life that can inhibit our creativity.
James Rizza
"The commitment to our work begins with the respect we develop by living it daily as a sacred work–offering it to God for the care of family society. How can we make work one of the many ways to serve God through our creativity, and thus serve his Creation?
Since I would've never imagined myself doing the work I have been doing for the past 4 years (Director of Religious Education, Parish Secretary, Receptionist, Website), I can only believe that God put me "in His way" for a purpose! Previously, my only purpose in "work life" was that of being a good dancer, teacher, and choreographer; then came Marriage and family—the best "work life" ever for me! Now, I feel that I continue to serve God even more "close-up" by being able to facilitate for His people their needs for Pastor, Word, and Sacraments. Even on my most stressful days—IT IS AN HONOR!

I would say that the WELL-BEING of my two wonderful daughters is what I worry about most frequently. I am and have always been a "worry wart"—and as much as I try not to be, I still worry. The daughters say to me (lovingly), "Mom, you worry too much…we are fine..we are careful, etc. etc. How do you even leave the house?" The best way (and usually only way that I can deal with my 'my worries') is by praying and asking the Lord to keep them safe…please! please! please! On then do I get a certain sense of relief in knowing that He—our Almighty God—is keeping His watchful eyes on them.

What can you do as a family this week to show your gratitude for these blessings?
We invite you to leave your thoughts in the comment box below. What's on your mind?
This past Father's Day weekend (as well as the Mother's Day weekend in May) was particularly difficult for my husband and I because we felt very "far away" from our daughters who live approximately 500 miles away…and a 9hr. drive. Of course, we communicate daily via phone & text messaging… but that is just not the same as a physical hug or one-on-one conversation, etc. So, feeling down makes it difficult at times to realize God's continuous blessings to our family and even His master plan at work!
This week then –like every week– we can only strive to make every texted message or phoned word count (and be grateful for this instant technology) while we look forward to and cherish the times we are actually together! God truly has kept us "close" and we are very grateful!

What is the significance of the Holy Thursday foot washing rite?
The Lord Jesus washed the feet of his disciples at the Last Supper as a sign of the new commandment that Christians should love one another: "Such as my love has been for you, so must your love be for each other. This is how all will know you for my disciples: by your love for one another" (see John 13, 34-35). For centuries the Church has imitated the Lord through the ritual enactment of the new commandment of Jesus Christ in the washing of feet on Holy Thursday.

Remember the saying: "Actions speak louder than words." Lent is a time when we can recommit our lives to living God's Word rather than just talking about it.

I believe that all three Lenten observances are most admirable; however, keeping more in touch with the Lord through extra prayer is what I shall try to accomplish. While there—I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask God for a bit more willpower when it comes to food, especially treats, in lieu of the fact that so many people around the world are starving and crave just a piece of bread. Likewise, it would be a good thing for ALL of us to fill up our Rice Bowls during this season with spare change to assist those who are really poor and in need!

"Definitely, the most satisfying and rewarding gift my husband and I gave this Christmas was our PRESENCE at our daughters' homes in Los Angeles—and, certainly, the pleasure was ours!Plus, we were able to share Christmas Eve Midnight Mass with them (and their non-Catholic boyfriends) at Our Lady Queen of Angels in Newport Beach.

Rehearsal is always the avenue to a good performance; therefore, I might liken Advent—this special time of preparation for Jesus' arrival into the world—as my "rehearsal" for what I might say to Jesus at the moment I meet Him.
On my knees, I would say, "I'm finally glad to meet you, Lord. I pray that my life and efforts have helped me to be worthy of this glorious occasion and, hopefully, a place at your side (at least very nearby) in heaven."
My Family, My Faith, My job, My House, My Friends, My Health, My Country, The Election Is Over! I have too many things to list and I am thankful for that too!

My husband has never been a man of an abundance of words. But I recall a part of a rather long conversation in which he did most of the talking, and he said, "I have tried to imagine what my life would be like if you weren't in it and what I saw was a life of sameness, just one day following another; a life with no waves, just smooth sailing; predictable and boring. I don't want that sort of life anymore. What I want is for you to marry me…because a life with you in it, WILL NEVER BE BORING!!! After 41 plus years, he can still honestly say, It has never been boring. Lol
If there seems to be one constant in Life; it is Change. It is continuous; from conception until we are well over the threshold of death, and who knows if it will even end then. To choose "One Change In My Life" which most affected me would be the difficulty, because to me, "change" and "life" are synonymous.
Whether we are conscious of it or unaware, change is the pattern, the very fabric of our lives. We spend a lot of our time trying, to fight it, to predict it, to control it, being overwhelmed by it, to bring order to it, measure it, being paralyzed by it, trying to channel and guide it, stifle it, force our will on it, get ahead of it, grab hold of it to slow it down, run from it, hide from it, ignore its happening, worry over it, stress over it, deny it, yearn to go back to before it…
But it is what it is.
Day becomes Night, Spring becomes Summer, Fall becomes Winter. Advent becomes Christmas, becomes Epiphany, becomes Ordinary time, become Lent, becomes Easter, becomes Pentecost, becomes Ordinary Time, becomes Advent… Sometimes there is comfort in the changing of the cycles of life, but each one, each time it comes around, there is change, differences that distinguish this one, from the ones that came before, growth…never will be the same ever again…more growth, aging, maturing, climbing, falling, climbing again…remembering, clinging to, caressing with tears for what was, fear of what will be…acceptance, blame, yearning, struggle, ease and contentment, accomplishments, failures, mourning, jubilation and triumph, shame, betrayal, and guilt, unforgiveness, forgiveness,
But despite our best efforts; the reality is we live on a planet made up of Tectonic plates that are shifting, sliding, lifting, shuttering, changing and yet, we live as if we are on safe, firm, known stable ground, and are stunned; in shock when the earthquakes, torrential rains, deaths, loss of our jobs, loss of our purpose, sudden accidents damage, maim, cripple, serious illness or abuse ripple the ground of our lives, or our loved ones, or the stranger we happen upon in the ditch beside the road, or the cure is far more damaging than the disease, …
Everything we have been spending our time doing, investing our energy in, that was so important just moments before, Stops! No longer important. No longer a priority. We live in the moment. Are consumed by the pain of it, the numbness of it, the largeness of it and how small and insignificant we really are, how vulnerable, how wounded, how weak, how needy, how alone…wondering how life can go on after this, how we can ever recover from this, or if we even want to… we discover as well, each time the earth shakes, the surprise of our strength, our courage, our growth, if we go through it alone, or with others, our ability to receive help and give it, our selflessness and the gratitude of the selflessness of others.
We follow the pattern of change/ birth, life, passion, death, conversion, and resurrection as it repeats throughout our life, some times in the little things which are really the big things; sometimes in the big things in which we find our littleness.,
Throughout, we have, Emmanuel (God with us), and whether we feel desolately alone or acutely aware of His Presence,
It is What it is.
And whether we want them to, or not, the seasons of our lives will continue their changing and night will become day, and day, night…ever changing; never the same…
Once when I felt like I had been ran over by a Mack truck, and I felt at the same time I was drowning in a mud bog, while the flood of change was raging rapidly and constantly over my wounded body, heart and soul, I raised my weary head slightly looking up to God and asked the question, "Is there nothing stable, secure, unchanging?" and the little, simple prayer, I had learned as a small child came to me, "Glory Be to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end."
In that moment, I was at Peace, for my God is unchanging!!!!
And Always Here.
The Blessing in all things is, Blessed Be God Forever!!!!!
The Grace of that Peace is always Present, I have only to remember it to bring it into My presence.
Then no matter what,
"Regarding my Faith and the Church—I am simply an enthusiastic believer! Because I am a choreographer of dance, I often visualize the Church
(in particular, the tradition and celebration of the Eucharist) as the most brilliantly choreographed dance I can imagine. And, no matter where it
is performed, it is a repetition of that same splendid dance. For me, then, Faith is all the steps and movements performed to create all that is the Church."
This is a hard question. Living in todays world it is very hard to be Christ like. Watching tv, listening to the radio, and just going about your everyday duties. My biggest failure is my brain. I can't be a Christ like person looking at people and judging their clothes, or the way they talk (foul language), or wanting what they have. In Mass Father says to go out and spread the word, another big failure. If it's the right time, right place. i'm all over it, but every day, not. Try like the dickens, but the mind is willing, the flesh is weak. Hope to do better tomorrow.

Whenever I meet a family who has been away from the church for awhile, I am graced to see the face of Christ in their stories. Regardless of culture, family structure, sacramental need, or economic status, they all seek one thing: to be received as fellow travellers on The Way. It is such a privilege to serve them, to love them, to invite them into an encounter with the Living God who already possesses their soul, they just may not realize it yet.
When I give change to a person begging or offer a ride to some one who will wait hours for the bus or have to walk miles. I offer water or sodas to people who look like they may it. At the cemetery we get alot of 'strange' disenfranchized people looking for spiritual guiadance (Sr. Ofelia) or help with directions, when I learn their situation I think of how can i help? I have even given people half my lunch, packs of cigarrettes, bus money. This may not make me Christ-like but as one human to another I still remember kindnesses done for me in the past. Sophia
P.S. The words of Mother Theresa; if we can not do great things, do small things with great love.
As a Catholic elementary school principal, I asked students and teachers to give "Little Way" awards, encouraging them to acknowledge the little ways that they could thank people for Christ-like behavior or commitment. St. Therese of Lisieux, the Little Flower, often wrote about the "Little Way" to Christ. Most of the students wrote "Little Way" awards to their friends for sharing or being nice. Teachers wrote "Little Way" awards for students for doing well on tests or homework. One girl in fifth grade who was and is especially committed to our Catholic faith, thanked God for all that he had done for the school by providing for us and loving us, always. This profound understanding of God's love for us was, for me, the epitome of a Christ-like person.

I contemplated this question while I was on vacation. There have been so many times that people said things that gave me new life or a new start. But, while walking by myself on the beach, it occurred to me that sometimes, it is silence that allows me to reflect and renew. Listening to the sound of waves, wind, trickling water, a bird chirping, or even total stillness and quiet can give me a new perspective without the complication of words. It allows me to listen and refresh my attitude and outlook.
In the late 60's when I was leaving the comfort and security of home to pursue my career, a very special friend and teacher/mentor handed ma a note with the following words:
"(my nickname), remember, never look left or right, look ahead. Think of God and the beauty of your deepest wishes—live them, regardless of what work you are doing now, tomorrow, or next year…"
To this day, I cherish the note with his words which led me to "many new starts"—even ones I would have never imagined for myself! Best of all, one of these "new starts" led me to my husband and girls. God works in mysterious ways!

As always, I could be more patient. It is one of the hardest areas for me to be a good example. I just want to experience everything there is to see, do, feel, hear, taste…God granted me the wisdom to learn patience but I am woefully lacking in the execution. It is the one prayer that is prayed every single day.
I guess I have my moments where I find a tremendous amount of patience, such as: a teen in crisis, a family that is experiencing a loss due to death, someone who is really irritated with where they think the church's teachings interfere with their life, but please do not get inside my car with me!
Each day, I work towards being a more patient and therefore, loving person. Maybe the world would like to follow me?
Karen Smeath
I run my dogs in the desert every morning and in doing so they run about 5 miles and I walk about 1 mile. During this time I say my prayers in peace and quite, and just talk to God like any other person. About my problems, worries, kids, the world. Just talk. Then, in closing, I say, "Thy will by done." And let it go. It keeps me going and focused for the day.
God's love be with you,
Beth Cichowlaz, OLPH
It's amazing how good it feels to recognize and celebrate "absolutely nothing in particular" during these everyday, in-between and ordinary moments. Just like the season of "Ordinary Time"—which really is an extraordinary time of many events in Jesus' life—it is just not too difficult for me to find God all around me in the extraordinary abundance of Tahoe's beautiful nature. Somehow, it becomes clearer to me in this "quiet time" that God is giving me the opportunity to "catch my breath," recharge and relax, address and fix my troubles—and with hope, include Him in all that I see, do, and feel.
We, as Christians, are blessed with the opportunity to reenact every year, the fulfillment of what God promised through the prophets. If we begin with the understanding that God was present in the world in many ways, except human, in the life of the people of the old testament, it makes it easier to see that God kept trying to reveal what the people needed to do in order to come back to him in heaven.
Because the people kept turning away from what God revealed, he decided to come down amongst us as a human and show us the way. God told the prophets what to look for in his coming into the world and the reason was to fully reveal (revelations), in its completeness, all of the things we needed to do to gain eternal happiness.
Here's the key to those revelations. "Come Follow me". If you follow me, I will explain to you all I instructed in the old testament. If you follow me, I will teach you how to love me and to love your neighbors. If you follow me, I will show you how to live the commandments through my own actions of daily life. If you follow me, I will reveal to you all you need, not only in this life, but also to follow me to the way of the cross. If you follow me, I will teach you how to die to this world, so that through my own resurrection you too will rise after your death. Jesus told us that these things are my fathers' remaining revelations, and there will be no more after my last apostle dies from this world. He told us that we have been told all the things we need in order to come back to Him.
How do I find God and live in his presence in the ordinary times?
In my life I have a short and sweet answer. I try to follow Jesus in all things I do.
Ordinary time is the life of Jesus (God made man). When I rise in the morning I give praise to God for my rest. I petition Him to guide me through the day and let me encounter others who have a need of some kind. I represent Him in sharing compliments of others I meet, letting them know I recognize nice things about them (a new hairdo, a new outfit, their smile, their kindness to others and so on), or maybe even a recognition of a sadness in a person allowing me the opportunity to be a good listener. There may also be an opportunity to offer my time to help in ordinary chores of daily life. Do good deeds for others. Share the life of Jesus with others so that they too will come to know Him. At the end of my day, I give thanks to God for allowing me the opportunities to be like Jesus. I find God in others.
Ordinary Time is living the stories about Jesus and His life here on earth. Each year when we read scripture and listen to daily readings we come to know more and more about the love of Jesus and why He came to earth. He loves us! He wants us to follow Him home.
Deacon Dan
Sometimes I think the easiest times to find God are in the "festivals, feasts and solemnities" that we celebrate every year liturgically. I find my greatest challenge during the "ordinary" time. But what is a challenge? For me, it a time to challenge my ideas of faith. What am I not doing? What would I like to do? What do I need to do? I find it difficult to change my habits during the celebration times because I get caught up in the traditions that I have experienced year after year. It is in the "breathable" ordinary time that I can reassess my faith life, look at the everyday gifts God has given me and make this time a little less "ordinary"!
Karen Smeath
In answer to your question, " Finding God in ordinary time ".. I saw him in this mornings sunrise, and sadly in the death of a thorny olive tree that toppled in my garden, after last weeks wind. I cried, as I thought of the same kind of branch thorns being pushed into Jesus', flesh at his crucifixion. The neighbor across the street, who came to help me clip and drag the branches away, wept with me. In the gentle wind that cooled us as we labored. The interrupting phone call from my son. The quail at the feeder. My gosh Letty, I was surrounded by God, in every moment of this "ordinary" day. I know you meant Liturgical time… but my spirit took me elsewhere.
Sincerely, Jane Montalbano, DRE
I find it difficult to live in God's presence at any time, not just in ordinary time. I'm not sure I hear Him or am receiving the right signals from Him. This has always been my greatest difficulty. But I endeavor to go on, praying I'll hear Him or find Him in something.
Blessings+ Terry Sheldon
Just off the top of my head…
First, Incarnation gave us the gift of God made man walking with us. Through Resurrection our time has been sanctified. I believe that since the Resurrection we have no ordinary time. Time has been irrevocably glorified and every minute is filled with God made man: Incarnation.
It is given to us to share the gifts we have in the redeemed time with which we have been blessed. All of us share in this time-within-time. It seems to me that if we make Incarnation/Resurrection present to our consciousness through prayer everything is transformed and all the things Deacon Dan mentioned that seem so ordinary to us bear the imprint of Incarnation/Resurrection.
Take care, Letty.
God bless you and your family

Wow, this one could depend on the day…your state of mind at the time…etc. but here goes.
In my long career as a professional dancer, I've developed an incredible amount of discipline—which is not a bad thing or quality. But, sometimes it can hinder me in just letting go and enjoying the moment because it doesn't "fit-in" with what I've trained myself to do… or what "needs" to be done. So, in answer to the question, I believe that letting myself do a "conversion experience" in this area is a good idea. I think the Lord would "root" for me, too, since there is so much beauty in His world to enjoy.
Patience! I do not exercise patience most of the time! I cannot wait to find out the end of a book. I cannot wait to get my destination instead of enjoying the journey. I have a very difficult time praying (it takes too long!) and waiting for God to reveal himself to me. It is the one trait of which I am the most hard on myself. I guess I am lucky that God has chosen to answer my prayer and give me many opportunities to learn how to control it!
That's a "no brainer' for me. I have always struggled with impatience. I don't know how many times I may have hurt someone or prevented them form accomplishing something on their own because of my lack of patience. I have fought this all my life. I think of all the times people have been patient with me for my lacking and I thank God that I have these people in my life and their example.
Trust in God and trust that there is a God.
We invite you to leave your thoughts in the comment box below. What's on your mind?As a priest who trust in our baptismal gifts, I view our parishioners and myself as a community of equals with different responsibilities. Together, but in diverse ways, we are all called to actually be a living example of God's Divine love and to help unravel that mystery of God's unconditional love. We complement each other according to our unique gifts and talents. We treat and deal with each other as co-disciples recognizing that deep in the hearts of everyone, we all desire a better world,united, reconciled and healed. We strengthen each other because we agree on our task and mission and do it as best we can admitting our failures and being grateful for our victories.
The more the people support, reinforce, and praise us, it seems the more I am made stronger in my ministry. Imagine if you never heard any kind of feed back from people on how and what you're doing. You would begin to wonder. At least in the Parishes I have been involved in the good people of the Church always offer their support in word and in deed, and that continues to strengthen my commitment to the Church and her people.
Fr. Mike Mahone
In answer to the questions "How the community strengthens my call" I found several things come to my mind.
First, is the hunger in the parishioners for faith enrichment. The constant petition for information and answers to how to live a Catholic Faith. More understanding about rituals and about the Church's stand on moral and social issues of our modern world. These lead to opportunities to get together in scripture study, apologetic discussion groups, topics provided by the Why Catholic? adult faith formations given to us through RENEW International. Leading Catholics to understanding their Catholic faith through use of the Catechism book. Encouraging all to listen to the Word during liturgy and seek commentaries that help to more fully enjoy Homilies. These are all ways the community helps to answer my call.
Second, is through establishing opportunities for parishioners and friends to participate in actions of helping our neighbors. Participation in programs of Outreach, going past the outer doors of the parish and feeding the hungry; providing clothes to the needy; always looking for ways to help others in need. Sometimes in simply visiting the homebound and elderly care centers. Taking communion to them. These are all ways the community helps to answer my call.
Third, is through simple acts of kindness. Knowing that someone needs help and making time to repair a door, fix a garbage disposal, a ride to the doctor, taking someone shopping; watching a child while the parent gets some rest time and so on. These are all ways the community helps to answer my call.
The community is the Pool of opportunities, I simply have to make the time to answer those calls.
Deacon Dan McHugh
Well, often, one feels like the Church community doesn't really care—they just want things to get done and, of course, always in " the same way it has always been done." On the other hand, many times the community can make you aware of situations and/or things that need improvement or just need to be done. They offer suggestions and give you feedback—some positive, some biased and negative but, oh well, that's human nature. Needless to say, though, it is very welcoming when the community supports you and even offers to help—especially when you are so overwhelmed– and it is those moments that can strengthen my resolve to get it done!

Vice President and General Manager, Aerospace
Computer Sciences Corporation
2600 Paramount Place
Fairborn, OH 45324
Professional Experience 30 years
Mr. Brown has enjoyed a distinguished career as an Air Force fighter pilot, engineer, NASA astronaut, NASA manager, and corporate manager. His unique combination of operational and technical experience has made him an invaluable asset to the Air Force, NASA, GRC International, Inc, and AT&T. This was clearly demonstrated during two highly successful space shuttle missions, as a member of the Challenger Accident Investigation Team, as a member of the Solid Rocket Motor Redesign Team, as the senior astronaut on the Space Station Program, as a GRC International, Inc., Program Manager, as an AT&T District Manager, and as a CSC Vice President and General Manager.
Mr. Brown was assigned to NASA at the Johnson Space Center (JSC) in Houston by the Air Force due to his extensive experience as a fighter pilot and engineer in 1980. His responsibilities included the development of shuttle emergency procedures, training astronauts, and working in the Mission Control Center. While en route to a new military assignment overseas, Mr. Brown was called back to NASA, but this time as an astronaut.
In the years that followed, he served as a crewmember on two space shuttle flights and performed numerous additional duties. He also worked on the Space Station Program beginning in 1989 up until his retirement in the summer of 1993.

2000-2002 Director, Wire Integrity Programs, GRC International, Inc. an AT&T Company (GRC International was purchased by AT&T in 2001 and became AT&T Government Solutions in 2002)
While serving on the Corporate Business Development Staff in 1999, Mr. Brown was asked to investigate problems the commercial airlines were having with the aging of their electrical wiring that had resulted in a number of fatal accidents. After investigating the issues involved, Mr. Brown assembled a team of six companies in 2000 to provide the technologies needed by the airlines and military services to dramatically improve the testing used to maintain wiring in aircraft, the storage of the testing data, the analyses of the test data, and laboratory studies to understand the aging phenomenology. The result of these efforts will be a dramatic reduction in the number of in-flight electrical failures, a corresponding reduction in the costs to maintain these aircraft, and a significant improvement in the safety of these same aircraft. As the leader of this team and a recognized leader in this field, Mr. Brown was a regular speaker and presenter at Aging Aircraft Conferences, technical symposia, and in 2001 at the Paris Air Show. This program was sold in its entirety to Honeywell in 2002. His technical and leadership skills have clearly been demonstrated through his performance in this role.

In over 9 years of web game development I'd never used a third party framework until recently, preferring to code everything up from scratch. Both Flixel and FlashPunk had caught my eye though and for the past year or so I'd been meaning to try one or the other.
Well, a few months ago the opportunity presented itself. Hasbro hired us to develop a multi-world game to promote their new Kre-o range of toys and I decided it was the perfect project to test these frameworks with. Read the rest of this entry »

Comments about ''Tis the season? Buying a home at the right time, in the right place'
- Oldest first

we just sold our home 2 months ago - we are downsizing and building a smaller cheaper home. The market was pretty good and now our new home will have the roof on before the first snow. The advise we got from our lender was to make this all happen in the summer and fall BEFORE winter because from a sellers stand point selling moves to a crawl during the holidays and really doesn't pick up at all until March. No one wants to have to move - in or out - during the holidays or in the dead of winter freeze so it may be true you might be able to pick a deal from a desperate seller during the winter months they will be few and far between. From a sellers standpoint listing a home after the first snow usually means your home will set there for months on the market which is a really bad thing. I would say just the opposite from this article.. the best times to buy and sell are from March through September.

Doesn't matter. Best time to buy is still from March - September simply because there are many more homes on the market to choose from plus moving in the deep freeze of winter is a pain. Also looking at a home in northern Utah in January for example you can't see the yard at all due to the snow. The grass may be dead for all you know. The only way I would think about buying in the dead of winter is if the home is greatly reduced in price because of a desperate seller. Probably worth the risk.

BlackBerry Z10 may arrive at AT&T on March 15
The BlackBerry Z10 is already on sale in the UK and in other places, but not the US. Well, not at any of the big carriers anyway, because if you're willing to spend a whopping $999 one MVNO can help you get a Z10 Stateside.
We have so far heard that T-Mobile may launch its Z10 on March 27. Verizon's Z10 hasn't starred in any leaks regarding its release date yet, but it may come as late as April. And Sprint simply isn't going to sell the BlackBerry Z10, choosing for some reason to focus solely on the upcoming Q10 for its customers' BlackBerry 10 needs.
That leaves AT&T, as you may have gathered. And it looks like it will be the first big carrier to release the Z10 in the US. March 15 is when that will happen, according to a source that spoke to N4BB. This is also the day in which the smartphone will become available at big box retailers, apparently.
So, if you're desperately waiting to get the BlackBerry Z10 on contract in the US, you may have just until next week to do that still. Or you can choose to wait even more for the Q10 to make it to the States – whatever suits you best.

College Hockey:Gophers Overwhelm Tigers
Second-Place Minnesota Gains Ground On Lead Pack
MINNEAPOLIS — If you blinked, you might have missed it. Or, in this case, them.
Repeatedly slashing through the Colorado College defense, the Minnesota Golden Gophers scored early and often Friday night, overwhelming the injury-depleted Tigers 6-1 at Mariucci Arena.
The Gophers notched two goals in the first six minutes of play to establish control, then sealed the deal with a pair of tallies in a 42-second span midway through the contest.
"We had a good first shift, [and] it was pretty much a buzzsaw from then on," said John Pohl, who had two assists on the evening.
Captain Erik Westrum and defenseman Jordan Leopold each had a goal and two assists, while Adam Hauser made 29 saves to quietly backstop Minnesota to its eighth straight win. The victory kept Minnesota (23-7-2, 16-5-2 WCHA) in second place in the standings, while Colorado College (20-8-1, 15-8-0 WCHA) remained tied for third with St. Cloud, a 3-2 loser to Wisconsin Friday night.
"You can speculate on the reasons," said CC head coach Scott Owens of the Tigers' recent woes. "Our top guys are a little tired, and we're so thin on the blueline corps." Defensemen Brent Voorhees and Mike Stuart missed Friday's game with injuries; neither is expected to play Saturday.
Riddle opened the scoring in a fashion familiar to Gopher fans, getting behind the CC defense at center ice for a one-on-one off Aaron Miskovich's outlet pass. Riddle beat netminder Colin Zulianello high to the glove side at 3:42.
Moments later, a Joe Cullen slash put the Tigers down a man, and the potent Minnesota power play took advantage. Again it was Miskovich and Riddle teaming up on the goal — this time with Riddle working the puck behind the net, then out front for Miskovich's one-timer.
With the Tigers seemingly shellshocked, Westrum added to the lead at 13:52. The captain took the puck from blueliner Matt DeMarchi and wrapped around the CC net for a fluttering backhander that bounced just over Zulianello's shoulder, his team-leading 21st goal of the season.
That tally, Minnesota's third on just seven shots, chased Zulianello — the WCHA's best in goals against average and save percentage entering the evening — in favor of Jeff Sanger. Sanger settled matters down for the remainder of the period, and stopped 25 of 28 shots in the contest.
CC nearly got one back in the waning moments of the period, as Hauser barely covered up a loose puck after a scramble in front involving rookie phenom Peter Sejna and Mark Cullen.
But any hopes of a CC comeback were dashed minutes into the second, as the Gophers scored two bang-bang goals. Pohl started the play on the first one, skating behind the Tiger net and firing the puck out for Leopold, whose one-timer caught Sanger leaning the other way to make it 4-0.
Forty-two seconds later, Pohl was again behind the net with the biscuit, feeding Westrum out front. Westrum's shot rebounded to rookie Grant Potulny, who poked the loose puck home at 8:11.
CC then enjoyed consecutive power plays on a borderline hook by Pat O'Leary and an obvious high-stick from DeMarchi, but the Tigers could not capitalize.
The game then got sloppy for the next several minutes until Sejna, the shoo-in for WCHA Rookie of the Year, spoiled Hauser's shutout at 15:59, sneaking behind the play and hammering a one-timer off Cullen's centering pass for his 20th goal.
The assist also extended Cullen's scoring streak to 16 games.
The second period ended with a 5-1 Minnesota lead, putting the result essentially out of question. Sanger, nevertheless, stopped partial breakaways by Riddle and Matt Koalska early in the third, while Hauser deflected Alex Kim's scoop shot to preserve the four-goal lead.
A pretty play finally gave Minnesota its sixth goal, as Erik Wendell tipped in Jon Waibel's shot-pass from the near boards to complete the scoring.
Even with a victory so one-sided, the Gophers denied worries of a letdown on Saturday, instead pointing to the game as a critical point in the stretch run.
"If we win tomorrow, we're six points up on CC [in the standings], instead of just two," said Westrum.
Lucia agreed. "We're playing for the top three, and if we win tomorrow, we've pretty much assured ourselves of [that]," he said.
Owens, meanwhile, was hard-pressed for answers.
"It may get better tomorrow; it may not," Owens said. "We just have to work through it."

What is the Everyday Wardrobe? Well, let's see….
My name is Sunni. I'm 30 years old and its felt like years since I wore an outfit that not only felt comfortable, but that I felt like a rockstar wearing. I've got a closet full of clothing and still, I have nothing to wear. Why is that? Because I have a serious problem of making and purchasing clothes that don't fit my everyday life and style. I want to believe that I have many upscale, downtown events to go to and if I make this dress or that coat, I'll become glamorous and have more events to attend. But I don't. In fact, I don't even remember the last upscale event I attended – my own wedding maybe (and that was 5 years ago….).
It hit me one day, as I was slaving away on a pretty silk dress (mind you, I love silk and will wear this everyday, but the dress I was working on was not everyday friendly) wearing my favorite ratty sweatpants and nearly see-through comfy tank top, that I didn't really have an event to wear the dress to. Not only that, but it was a dress that would look better with an uncomfortable shoe that made me break out in hives just thinking about. It was right then and there, that I decided to put the dress on hold and start making clothing that I could wear in the everyday. Actually wear, you know, instead of wearing my half baked pyjamas around the house, I could actually wear an outfit that rivaled the comfort of my pj's but made me feel so much better about myself and about my life. That's what the Everyday Wardrobe is about.
Sartorial Sewing befitting everyday life and style
What's that? You want in on this too! Because you too, have a closet full of clothing that you never wear! I hear ya! Let's get to it then.
Let's have a chat about my strategy. The Everyday Wardrobe is not about going out and purchasing a completely new wardrobe. We're going to start with what you've got. And we're going to start small. If you're anything like me, you might find that thinking big only leads to a huge feeling of being overwhelmed. I have a lot going on in my life and so this can happen easily. Instead, let's think and start small.
Step 1 ~ Go to your closet. Pick out one article of clothing. ONLY one. Don't overwhelm yourself to start with – you can defeat yourself before you even begin (I do this alllllll the time). The article of clothing can be a blouse, a skirt, a dress, jacket, etc. Anything that is an actual article of clothing. No accessories. We'll worry about those later. This garment should be something that you love, can't bear to get rid of but never wear. It should also be something that is comfortable and that you feel is worthy of wearing everyday. This is a big part of it! Don't pick that strapless dress that you have to pour yourself into! Pick something you want to wear everyday, can see yourself wearing everyday and actually will wear everyday. We're going to call this garment the Never Worn Garment or NWG for short.
Step 2 ~ Ask and answer yourself these questions about your NWG:
- Why don't I wear this?
- What would make this garment more wearable? Can I alter it?
- What colors and styles can I pair this garment with to make it wearable?
- What shoes and accessories can I pair this garment with to make it wearable in the everyday?
One very important point in this step is deciding on what type of shoes you plan to wear with your NWG. This can make or break an everyday outfit for me. If I plan to wear my NWG in the everyday, I have to have a comfortable shoe to go with it.
Step 3 ~ If you need to alter the NWG, now is the time to start that process. If you don't need to alter your NWG, take the garment to your fabric and sewing pattern stash and now its time to start pairing patterns and fabrics with the NWG to try and make an outfit. For instance, take a skirt and go to your stash and find 2 fabrics and 2 blouse patterns to go with it. Again, start small. Decide on one or two sewing patterns to work with (doesn't mean they have to be easy or hard), then pick your fabric. Don't have the right fabric? Head on over to your local fabric store, taking your NWG with you and pick some up!
Step 4 ~ Make the garment that you've picked to go with the NWG – we're going to call this the Everyday Wardrobe Garment or EWG for short. Next accessorize. You've already thought of the shoes, so now have fun with belts, scarves (maybe you can even make a matching one!) and jewelry. And just like that, you've made magic happen – you have an outfit instead of a Never Worn Garment!
Step 5 ~ Once an entire outfit has been made, utilizing the NWG from your closet, now its up to you if you want to:
- make something more to go with your NWG
- start the process again, but this time use your new EWG
- or, start with another NWG from your closet
Here's the crazy thing: Once you start the process, you find that your new EWGs start coordinating with more NWGs in your closet! It's addictive and this type of wardrobe planning gives you a wonderful sense of accomplishment, makes you feel like a rockstar because you're actually wearing clothes that go together and that you love and you can wear them everyday and feel comfortable. I've also found that this helps destash your fabric stash (who would've thunk?) and utilizes garments you already have!
Please note that I'm not saying that you have to throw out glamorous pieces of clothing (or any piece of clothing) that you want to wear for a special event. Keep them. I'm also not saying that I would just stop sewing those types of garments altogether either. I might sew them, but a whole lot less (if at all). I'm also not saying that you can't wear dresses and silk and wool and other such upscale types (on the contrary, in fact – you know I love natural fibers), but maybe its time to rethink how these types of things are worn in the everyday.
I'm working with what I've got first and thinking up brand new garments second. This is actual wardrobing instead of making a closet full of white elephants which is exactly what I tend to do. Are you with me? Let's Everyday Wardrobe our closets and tell our friends how to do it too!
Picking out a new NWG from my closet, Happy Trails,

Alumni from the Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry proudly welcomed the DDS Class of 2013 and IDS Class of 2012 to the dental school family on July 16, 2010 with a one-of-a-kind San Francisco treat. During the annual Cioppino Dinner, held at the dental school's Café Cagnone, alumni gathered to prepare the cioppino — a traditional fish stew — and to serve it to the 165 new students.
A dish with roots which can be traced back to the beginning of the last century in San Francisco, Cioppino combines a variety of seafood with tomatoes, wine and herbs, and is traditionally served with pasta. The hosting alumni began preparing and cooking the Cioppino in the early morning in the kitchen of Gaspare's Pizza House and Italian Restaurant in San Francisco.
This symbolic gesture — alumni serving new students — is a unique tradition celebrated by Dugoni School of Dentistry. In addition to making students feel welcomed into the dental school family, it gives them a chance to interact with alumni, faculty and administrators in a relaxed atmosphere.
"The best way to welcome a person into a family is to have a meal, so that's what we're doing today," commented event co-host Paul Senise '65. "This has become a tradition for us and for the students, and we're happy to do it."
"This has been a great first week," said Melanie Seto, Class of 2013 student. "The Cioppino Dinner is a really fun event for the students. It's welcoming us into the family which is what Pacific is all about."
The first Cioppino Dinner took place in 1988. Since its beginnings, the dinner has been hosted by alumni Drs. Ken Frangadakis '66, Ernie Giachetti '67 and Senise. Special assistance this year came from Drs. Jim Kinsel '98, Gary Pagonis' 76; Milt Pagonis '72; JJ Salehieh'92, '93 AEGD; Tony Santos '76; and Kimberly Senise, a Dental Hygiene graduate. Indelicato Gaspare, owner of Gaspare's Pizza House and Italian Restaurant, generously provided kitchen space for the Cioppino preparation.

First, somebody caught a world-record steelhead and killed it, which caused a little uproar on the Intertubes.
Then Moldy Chum posted 61 photographs of a big steelie being manhandled, taped, and generally beat to hell before release (it ended up on the cover of Fly Fishermen magazine). With its chances of survival about as remote as your chances of inheriting $23 million from a Nigerian Prince, we're forced ask the obvious question:
What the hell?
Perhaps the world's steelhead fishermen should to take a lesson from our own glow-in-the-dark Singlebarbed:
A couple dozen large Pikeminnow and the occasional smallmouth were browsing in deep water – and without any vegetation available to hold insects, and with the catastrophic upheaval of the runoff, I guessed these might be hungry and desperate fish.
I had a fistful of the "Ellis Island†reject flies I needed to expend and plopped an Olive unknown into the water above them. With a 4mm bead and 25 turns of fuse wire there was a corresponding mushroom cloud and crater in the river bottom – and most of the fish scattered.
I gave it a quick tug to free the fly and all hell broke loose, some silver flash comes out of the water and does its best Salmonid imitation, screams off downstream and returns to sulk.
I'm long past caring what it is – and from its profile it appears to be a trophy Pikeminnow – but thick and fat like a bass, not skinny and cylindrical like usual.
It's laying in the slack water at the bank, and I realize it's the new IGFA world record for Sacramento Pikeminnow. The old version was merely 6.25 pounds – and "Mr. Chunk Monsterâ€, the genetically blessed fatty was likely to tip them scales closer to seven.
Did our heavy-metals-rich friend rush to the nearest certified scales to claim his spot in the record books – and the adulation sure to follow?
Hell no. (That's why we like him. Well, that and the fact he's usually good to bum flies off.)
Our take? They're fish, for godssakes – not magical beings capable of validating our sorry, quietly desperate existences.
See you on the river, Tom Chandler.

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Robin Williams is not dead. A fake Robin Williams death story today, however, is angering fans. The false death story comes less than one day after Tyler Perry battled the same. Robin Williams hasn't fallen to his death in Kitzbühel, Austria. Nor has Williams died in a fabricated Denver Peak-Regional Airport crash today.
Robin Williams' death story is gaining more traction today because of a notable change. In recent years, fake celebrity death stories about "falls" have most often concerned New Zealand. This one, however, adds a new location and a new victim.
In recent years, MediaFetcher aka Global Associated has written a series of fabricated tales about celebrities falling. But they usually concern New Zealand. The Global Associated tale usually reads "Actor Will Smith died while filming a movie in New Zealand early this morning."
The website simply swaps in and out Smith's name for another celebrity's name. The story usually concerns the Kauri Cliffs. "Preliminary reports from New Zealand Police officials indicate that the actor fell more than 60 feet to his death on the Kauri Cliffs while on-set."
But the latest Robin Williams fake death story uses a newly invented location: Austria. Global Associated today falsely reprots "Actor Robin Williams died while filming a movie in Kitzbühel, Austria early this morning". But like the New Zealand fake story, this Global Associated tale also claims the victim is working on a film. "Preliminary reports from Austrian Police officials indicate that the actor fell more than 50 feet to his death in a remote area of the Hahnenkamm mountains while on-set during the filming of a movie. "
Reba McEntire fans should also be on the lookout. She too is listed as dead today falling from the same hill as Robin Williams. Jeff Goldblum, George Clooney, and others, however, are still erroneous listed dead in fabricated falls from New Zealand. Robin Williams is alive and wasn't in Austria today.

Lay's Chicken and Waffle flavor potato chips are a regional favorite in the southeastern United States, but anyone who wants them can buy them on Amazon for a hefty price of between $10 and $13 per bag. Chicken and Waffle flavor potato chips were introduced in early 2013 and are still a favorite among Southerners who understand the flavor combination. But $13 a bag for Prime buyers on Amazon? Could they be worth it?
The exact inspiration for the chicken and waffle combination isn't documented, but historians believe that the dish dates back to the 1790's when African American culture began influencing the way American colonists cooked. The dish is actually prepared with homemade waffles and topped fried chicken and served with butter and maple syrup. Chicken and waffles is a beloved soul food by many in the South.
On Amazon, the listing for one 9-ounce bag of Lay's Chicken and Waffle flavor potato chips shows 12 sellers and prices ranging from $9.37 to $449.95. (The $499 listing is probably a stock-out and the seller increased the price so none would sell until he restocked.) The lowest Prime listing is $13.25. Amazon.com does not have this item in stock, so third-party sellers control the price. Regular retail for this item in grocery stores, if available, is between $3 and $4.
Ordering potato chips online may not be a great idea. Third-party sellers ship their items to Amazon via UPS, the items are processed through the warehouse (with pretty rough handling), then shipped back out to customers by UPS or USPS. One can only imagine what a bag of chips looks like after that process.
According to the 50 Amazon reviews, Lay's Chicken and Waffle flavor potato chips are under-whelming. Only 34% of the reviews are 5 stars. Unhappy customers remark that the product tastes like maple syrup on bland potato skins with not much chicken taste. Reviewers use derogatory works including gross, nasty, disgusting, and horrible.
Amazon also offers Lay's limited edition Cheesy Garlic Bread and Sriracha Hot Sauce limited edition flavors, and the reviews aren't much better.

One from the soil (into the alcohol)
At one of our stations in western Turkey a couple of weeks ago, we collected a large number of large, empty Helix shells. There were no live snails around until I came upon one partially buried in cool, moist soil in the shade of a rock crevice. Unlike some of their relatives (for example, Helix aspersa) that tend to attach themselves to vertical surfaces when resting, these snails instead bury themselves in soil.
Freshly pulled out of its hole, it had soil clinging to its large, fleshy, pink foot. After we put it on a rock, it hesitatingly started to crawl. It certainly would have been a mouth-watering addition to any snail-eaters menu.
Throughout our expedition, we tried to minimize the collection of live snails. This is a rule we have been enforcing among ourselves for several years. Dissections are, however, sometimes necessary. The species identity of this particular Helix eluded us. Sadly, we had to sacrifice it for further study.

A kindergartner spends the day at the wrong school and fools everyone.This happened in upstate New York to a girl, 5, on Wednesday. Turns out the kindergartner enjoyed playing the role of a "new student" at a different school.
ABC News reported March 14 that Schenectady school district officials said when the girl got on the wrong bus, it was driven by a substitute driver.
So how did the kindergartner pull of spending the day at the wrong school? According to the report, the 5-year-old pretended that she was a new first grade student that teachers were expecting. Turns out the real first grader never showed up, so the girl enjoyed fooling everyone -- even answering to the first grader's name.
The whole thing was discovered when the kindergartner's mother called the school to let them know her daughter did not get off the bus in the afternoon. Luckily school officials were able to find her shortly thereafter.
The school is reviewing its procedures so this type of incident does not happen again.
It takes a clever and adventurous kindergartner who spends a day at the wrong school! At least everything turned out in the end and she was safe.

Ansah among NFL hopefuls at BYU's Pro Day
Laura Seitz, Deseret News
PROVO — Sixteen players participated in BYU's annual Pro Day, but there was one main attraction.
That would be defensive lineman Ezekiel "Ziggy" Ansah, who has generated national attention with his unique story, the one about his meteoric rise from unknown novice to dominating playmaker. He's projected to be a top-15 pick in the upcoming National Football League draft.
Ansah, a native of Ghana who started just nine games in his career for the Cougars, participated in the NFL Combine in February and turned heads with his 4.63 time in the 40-yard dash.
While Ansah did not run the 40 Thursday at the BYU indoor practice facility, he did go through the paces in a number of other drills.
"I just decided not to run," Ansah explained. "I don't think there was anything I could do to impress anybody out here. I know I'm fast."
Ansah's impressive time at the Combine in Indianapolis certainly helped raise his draft stock. Some draft experts project him to be a top-5 selection.
"That's why we didn't have him run here. There was no need to," said Dan VanWoerkom, one of Ansah's agents. "This is Ziggy showing that he's willing to let any of the coaches come in and do a last check on him, make sure he's still healthy and get that last little feeling for where he's at. It's been great. We're excited for him."
NFL scouts representing at least 10 teams worked out the 16 NFL hopefuls. A coach from the Oakland Raiders — who own the No. 3 pick overall in the draft — spent considerable time with Ansah, putting him through position-specific drills designed to evaluate his skill set.
"After this, I'm going to lunch with the Raiders' coach," Ansah said. "I'll see what he's got for me."
Just where could Ansah land in the draft?
"We don't know," VanWoerkom said. "He's got strong potential to be picked in the top 15. I think everybody knows that. But nobody in the press has a pick. We don't have a pick. It's the teams that pick. They'll decide. None of us know that. We're waiting to see like everyone else."
Meanwhile, former Cougars Braden Brown, Ian Dulan, DeQuan Everett, Romney Fuga, Preston Hadley, Braden Hansen, Reed Hornung, Uona Kaveinga, Brandon Ogletree and Riley Stephenson all participated in Pro Day.
So did two former BYU players who were suspended by coach Bronco Mendenhall last year — Joe Sampson and O'Neill Chambers. Both returned to campus to show the scouts what they can do.
Defensive lineman Russell Tialavea did not work out due to injury.
Braden Brown's brother, Les Brown — who also attended Pro Day last year and ended up signing a contract with the Miami Dolphins — participated Wednesday, as did former Cougar Malosi Te'o and Dixie State product Cache Morgan.
"Most of the people here are interested in the one guy (Ansah), but there are other players with ability, other guys that will be drafted or free agents," said director of college scouting for the New Orleans Saints, Rick Reiprish.
Besides Ansah, Braden Brown could be another Cougar who hears his name called during the draft.
"If a team believes in me in the third round, that would be awesome," said Brown, an offensive lineman who prepped at Highland High. "I feel like I've worked really hard. I feel like I deserve a shot to play in the NFL because I've sacrificed a lot and worked really hard my whole life to play in the NFL."
Ogletree, a linebacker who ran a 4.61 in the 40, enjoyed his Pro Day experience.

Language of the usurpers.Quote:
"... good reason ... we all know that ... no sporting purpose ..."
Many of those who ostensibly "know" haven't given it beyond a passing thought. It's certainly incorrect to presuppose "we all know."
And to suggest "sporting purpose" as a goal of weaponry is laughable, both for its falsity as well as its pointlessness. Pure spin, implying a "sporting purpose" is the point of the 2A.
My take: they need more shoulder padding and fresh air.

How is it already Thursday afternoon? I feel like I've been busy this week, but when I look at my house and see laundry piles, dirty dishes, and unmade beds, I'm not exactly sure what I've been doing. Clearly not laundry, dishes, or bed-making! But I did get to Ikea Tuesday to get a potty for Addie, and I found the perfect bedspread for our master, so all's not lost, right??
I mentioned earlier this week that I found a new blog, and it's so good that I went back to the beginning and read every post! I was so excited with my find. But then Tuesday morning, when telling my mom about it, she was like, "Oh, yeah. I've been reading that blog for some time now!" So maybe I'm the only one who's not up to snuff? But just in case, here it is: Bring the Rain. I won't spoil the story if you've not heard it yet, but trust me that you need to wait until after your kids are in bed, when you can grab a box of Kleenexes and sit up without interruption! Go back to the very first post to start. The faith, vulnerability, and beautiful writing are worth the lost sleep! And if I'm the last person on earth to have "discovered" this blog, just don't tell me.
I almost mentioned a couple of weeks ago that I've found a new cleaning system, but in light of what my house looks like right now, I'd better hold off posting about it. I think I need to actually go do it, first! If only there could be a system that literally works for me. I can come up with systems easily enough, it's the actual doing them that's not working!
Well, I'd love to kill time sitting here, but I really do think I hear some dirty blue jeans calling my name . . .
