Sometimes Zimmer's commentary track about his scoring of "Gladiator" on the two-disc it is just better to wait. set, it's likely that most of the extras will never be seen. Distribution companies who are faced with poor box office receipts on certain movies add loads of unnecessary extras to the film's DVD release to attract purchasers and to recoup their investment. Their victim is the buyer, who picks up the movie mainly for its extras and never even watches them. Companies are also being malicious toward buyers' interests by overstuffing DVDs simply to justify a two-disc set. The two­ disc set is automatically more costly to produce than one extra-less disc, allowing the distribution companies to slowly siphon more money off consumers. Look for editions that do not contain the extraneous features. The original release of "Platoon" may not feature Oliver Stone's commentary, but it's significantly cheaper.

Tip #10: Have fun and share The only worthwhile approach to starting a DVD collection is to have fun with it. Take tours of the extras. Take a few min­ utes to read the production notes or collectible booklets. Set up screenings in dorm rooms for those not fortunate enough to own DVD players. Lastly, feel good about sharing. DVDs are expensive, and it's important that everyone treats them carefully so they can be preserved. After the borrower agrees to be careful, there is no reason not to share a movie with someone.

There it is: 10 tips from a guy who spent too much on retail DVDs, forgot coupons, bought movies primarily for the extras, and did not buy different genres. Hopefully. these tips will save you some money while still making your DVD shopping as exciting as possible.

A Lenten Reflection in the Wilderness Coleman-Morse Center • 631-78oo Retreats Cave Spirituality sign ' • by Chandra Johnson Freshman Retreat #41 Assistant to the President & Assistant Director, Cross-Cultural Ministry Retreat Date: Apr. 12-13 Pick up applications: Caves are very interesting places. They have become a current point of interest particularly since Monday, Feb. 25- Monday, Apr. 8 the events of September 11th. Throughout history, caves have served various purposes. They have 114 Coleman-Morse Center been havens where communities have found shelter, security and protection from the natural ele­ ments. Civilizations and modern human behavior were crafted by cave dwellers, like those living in the Blombos Cave in South Africa 77,000 years ago. A cave was the scriptural burial place for Abraham's entire family, a purchase he made to affirm his faith in God's promise that the Israelites dav would reach the Promised Land.

And even our very own Grotto has a cave-like ambiance, reminding us of God's indwelling and presence in the natural elements. Throughout the Women's Retreat centuries, cave spirituality has facilitated one's search Friday-Saturday for a deeper experience of God and the interior life.

As we continue our Lenten observance, I want to use this week's column to reflect on wilderness spirituality, and the reality we create for ourselves when we emerge from our prayer experience ...... -av The synoptic gospels tell us that when Jesus was at his spiritual peak, the SPIRIT led him into the wilderness RCIA-Purification & Enlightenment to face the devil for 40 days: "Filled with the holy Spirit, Jesus returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit 10:00-11 :30 a.m. into the desert for forty days, to be tempted by the devil (Luke 4: 1-2)." In my discussion of cave spirituality in 330 Coleman-Morse Center my breakout session at No Greater Love, I posed the questions, "Why would the Spirit lead Jesus, alone, into the desert to encounter the devil face-to-face? Why would God intentionally sanction a spiritual dual between his RCIA-Rite of Communion Son and ultimate evil?" In the discussion, all of your answers pointed to the same conclusion: When we pray, 1:45 mass our thoughts and corresponding actions create our reality. When our focus is on good, the outcome is good. Basilica of the Sacred Heart When our focus is on self-service, the outcome is self-serving. As we talked further, we agreed that we must be aware of the distractions and external voices which sometime take us away from the truth of God's power and Confirmation love. There is a fine line between praying to God and praying with God. This is why Jesus went straight to the An Afternoon of Recollection desert before he set out on his mission. He knew that with God's guidance, his prayer would create a reality 2:00-6:00 p.m. which emulated his ideals and corresponded with his personal faith and life goals. He knew that praying daily McKenna Hall, CCE is knowing daily that God is in control. ND Liturgical Choir Concert Does this mean that in order to emulate Jesus' prayer life, we have to live in the wilderness and seclude ourselves from the world? Of course not. What it means is that through attention to creating a consistent, 2:30p.m. relational, service-oriented prayer life, one can be assured of God's guidance, direction and love as we live St. Matthew's Cathedral actively as citizens of the world. God is in everything, even in the temptations, distractions and propositions Rejoice! African American which present themselves daily. Lent is the time when we make a concerted effort to respond to God's offering Catholic Mass of unconditional love. Like Jesus, in prayer, we know that God is at the center, providing the answers we need 10:00 p.m. when we're faced with confusion, chaos or indecision. Setting aside time to create a reality which is God­ Presider: Fr. J. Steele, c.s.c centered will insure that your time spent in the desert - your prayer time - will keep you strong when you're Our Lady of Notre Dame Chapel strong, and steady when you're weak. Coleman-Morse Center My challenge to you is this: after you've read this column, take a moment to think about your prayer life. Do you have a consistent prayer life? If you do, great. Where is your cave? Cherish the moments you consciously set aside to share your time and thoughts with God. If you don't have a prayer life, maybe now would be a good time to begin a relationship with your Creator. All you need is a quiet space and the willingness to let God use av your life for your greatest good. It's a wonderful way to live because it takes the pressure off wondering if your going to be okay. Of course you are! Thanks to Jesus and his wilderness spirituality, we are assured of God's Campus Bible Study/CBS faithfulness, fidelity and joy in loving us. Just pick the time and place.
