text: FacebookTwitterGoogle+E-mail As-Salāmu`Alaykum Readers, The Prophet said: "There is a polish for everything that takes away rust; and the polish for the heart is remembrance of Allāh." [Bukhari] Then, should we not strive to take the name of Allāh in all our actions and spend our idle time making tasbīḥ? He said: "Allāh says: I am to my servant as he expects of Me, I am with him when he remembers Me. If he remembers Me in his heart, I remember him to Myself, and if he remembers me in an assembly, I mention him in an assembly better than his…" [Bukhari & Muslim] Indeed what better thing would there be than to have your Lord remember you? The Qur'ān says on this subject: "And remember the Name of your Lord and devote yourself to Him with a complete devotion." [Al-Muzzammil 8] "Those men and women who engage much in Allāh's praise. For them has Allāh prepared forgiveness and a great reward." [Al-Aḥzāb 35] "Those who believe, and whose hearts find comfort in the remembrance of Allāh! " Behold in the Remembrance of Allāh do hearts find satisfaction." [Al-Ra'd 28] So continuous dhikr (remembrance of Allāh) not only polishes our heart and cleanses it, but also serves our case in the court of Allāh on the day when we will need it most. In addition, it helps our hearts find comfort which most of us try to seek daily through various means. The Qur'ān also warns us: "And whosoever turns away from the remembrance of the Most Beneficent (Allāh), We appoint for him Shaitan (Satan – devil) to be a companion to him." [Al-Zukhruf 36] "O ye who believe let not your riches or your children divert you from the Remembrance of Allāh if any act thus, the loss is their own." [Al-Munāfiqūn 9] "…And whosoever turns away from the Reminder of his Lord, He will cause him to undergo a severe Penalty." [Al-Jinn 17] "And keep yourself (O Muhammad) patiently with those who call on their Lord morning and afternoon, seeking His Face, and let not your eyes overlook them, desiring the pomp and glitter of the life of the world; and obey not him whose heart We have made heedless of Our Remembrance, one who follows his own lusts and whose affair (deeds) has been lost." [Al-Kāhf 28] Thus, we should try and spend as much time in dhikr and make it a habit to remember Allāh.

By T. Jefferson Parker
Dutton, 384 pages, $26.95
Updated: September 24, 2012 6:25AM
Los Angeles County Deputy Charlie Hood returns in T. Jefferson Parker's fourth novel of what is now tagged a six-book series, the Border books. The series chronicles a core group of characters on both sides of the law and some caught in a moral gray area in between: Charlie, again working with the ATF; Bradley Jones, son of late bandita Suzanne Jones, who was a love interest of Charlie's in the first book; Bradley's wife singer-songwriter Erin; Carlos Herreda, head of the Baja Cartel; and other assorted desperadoes and interested parties.
Several plots are juggled at once in The Border Lords, and much like last year's Iron River, surprising elements of an Otherworld crop up. In Iron River, beguiling character Mike Finnegan stirred the pot; here it is undercover ATF agent Sean Ozburn aka Gravas who seems to have crossed some kind of psychic line, his world now pulsing with superior strength and the ability to hear things he shouldn't hear from impossible distances. The reader is supposed to be in the dark regarding these strengths/ailments, but clues abound like wildflowers and only the half-asleep reader will fail to piece together the hints.
The hub around which all of the action takes place is Ozburn's off-the-reservation adventures. The man apparently has gone rogue, playing his own game, knocking off low-level cartel soldiers, kicking at a hornet's nest of trouble. He is a man on a mission except the mission is not his government's. A mysterious priest, Joe Leftwich, has manipulated Sean into going after the evil that lies at the heart of Sean's world, a world that as an undercover cop had assumed every gray tone available but now, with Father Leftwich's guidance, edges have sharpened, colors delegated to black or white, evil defined more clearly. A sense of desperate urgency builds like a cumulus launching itself over a mountain, its storm soon to unleash its anger on all below.
To write that there are hints of evil is to understate the current that throbs like a vein on the verge of bursting. Sean gives it color and a sound and a vocabulary, opening a door to his heart. Sean's love for his wife Seliah seems like a live 220-volt wire that Sean taps into as often as possible; their shared passion elevates every action to graceful dance. The thing that is wrong with Sean is also wrong with Seliah. They then seem like twined comets racing into a part of the universe even darker than a black hole; and if there's a lesson, it's that an all-consuming love bends everything to its wants.
In the running game between cops and robbers, as in war, truth is the first victim. No one tells anyone else the truth. Even when Bradley comes clean with his wife Erin, he holds back so that what Erin believes is a moment of naked love and trust and vulnerability; it's merely another construct to get them through the night.
As was the case in books two and three, Bradley Jones and Charlie Hood perform a deadly pas de deux. Bradley, who fancies himself a modern-era bandito, has hidden in plain sight having become an L.A. County Deputy; he uses his smarts and cartel connections to engineer his successes as a cop.
After his strong performance in Iron River, I had assumed that Bradley would become the focus of Hood's attention; but I also hadn't known this was a six-book gig, and with two more to go it makes sense to pull back, let Bradley drift just a little into the wings, tell the story from another angle. For example, see what Mike Finnegan's up to these days.
We'll see who's story it is next time.

Gold Violin offers no respect or obligation to their customers after they have taken their money and shipped defective products
My 87 year old Mom ordered a small exerciser from Gold Violin. When assembling the device, the fit and finish of the product extremely poor and so defective that the welds actually fell apart. We repacked the product and have been trying to get a return label for a defective product for over a month.
On Jan 27, 2014 we contacted the company return department (spoke with Tracy) and were informed the label would be sent out and we should receive it with 4-8 days.
No label received for two weeks. (could just be a miscommunication?)
On Feb 12, 2014 we contacted the company again since no label was received (spoke with Tracy). They again promised to send out the label by mail but also to email a copy.
No label received for two weeks. (a pattern is beginning to develop)
On Feb 25, 2014 we contacted the company once again for a third request, (spoke with Alan) who also promised the label would be sent by mail and he would request an email copy to be sent.
No label received for two weeks. (there is a real pattern here!)
On Feb 28, 2014 we contacted the company again (spoke with Mindy) After explaining the situation, the call was disconnected while on hold.
On Feb 28, 2014 we contacted the company again (spoke with Rose) After explaining the situation, and asking to speak with a supervisor, she hung up the phone.
On Feb 28, 2014 we contacted the company once again (spoke with Sally). After explaining the issue once more and she transferred me to Chalbux. After explaining the issue to him and requesting the label to be sent, he said they cannot do that. I asked to speak with a supervisor, he said she wasn't available. He said he would have her call me, (but he didn't even have my number!), so I asked him how she was going to contact me, whereupon he realized that I knew he had no intention of following through.
At this point I have no confidence that a label is being issued or sent and that they have no commitment to their customers or their reputation.
After over 4 hours on the phone with 7 (supposed) customer service representatives, we still have no resolution, no return label and the worst experience with an online retailer ever in over 20 years.
So with the wonderful world of technology, we will post these facts for the entire world to see, automatically and perpetually every day.
Hopefully no one else will be subjected to this "Ha Ha, we have your money" attitude.

Ruling Could Bring Disclosure to Some Secret Election Money
In a long-running campaign finance case, Judge Amy Berman Jackson of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia struck down a Federal Election Commission disclosure rule, saying it was too narrow, the Washington Post reported.
The FEC rule had undermined the intent of Congress "to enable voters to be informed about who was trying to influence their decisions," the judge wrote. "A donor can avoid reporting altogether by transmitting funds but remaining silent about their intended use."
The Los Angeles Times said Judge Jackson ruled that "groups that run election-related ads must reveal their donors" and her decision "could force disclosure of some of the secret money flooding into elections." Read moreComments are off for this post
Senate Closer to Debating Measure to Reverse 'Citizens United'
The Senate voted on Monday to proceed to debate a proposed constitutional amendment that would reverse the Supreme Court's landmark Citizens United ruling. A Republican filibuster is expected soon, and the proposal is not likely to pass the Senate this session, Huffington Post reported.
While the proposal has almost universal support of Democrats and opposition from Republicans, a majority of Americans from both parties "support the rationale offered by amendment proponents as a reason to amend the Constitution," according to a separate Huffington Post article.

Hundreds of Big Political Donors Giving More Since 'McCutcheon'
The full impact of the Supreme Court's campaign finance ruling in McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission, issued in early April, is starting to be measured.
The ruling struck down aggregate limits on how much individuals may contribute to political candidates and party committees in an election cycle.
According to a Washington Post article, "Together, 310 donors gave a combined $11.6 million more by this summer than would have been allowed before the ruling. Their contributions favored Republican candidates and committees over Democratic ones by 2 to 1." The article was headlined, "Wealthy political donors seize on new latitude to give to unlimited candidates." Read moreNo comments
California Disclosure Bill Debated in Legislature's Last Days
California's Assembly is weighing a Senate-passed bill to require that political ads aired on TV for ballot measures disclose their three greatest original funders. A spate of editorials is calling attention to the proposal shortly before the legislature finishes its business for the year.
A San Jose Mercury News editorial was headlined, "Truth in campaign advertising should be the law," and it said the bill's powerful opponents include the Service Employees International Union and the California Teachers Association. The Los Angeles Daily News editorialized, "California campaign cash disclosure bill needs final push." A San Francisco Chronicle editorial said, "Do-or-die time for campaign funding disclosure bill."No comments
Retired Judge Laments 'Worst Government That Money Can Buy'
The problem of money in politics has grown so big that it seems to be "on steroids" now, laments retired Montana Supreme Court Justice James Nelson in an outspoken Helena Independent Record op-ed.
Justice Nelson takes direct aim at a line of U.S. Supreme Court cases beginning with Citizens United, saying the problem of big money overwhelming actual voters has become so great that what once was unimaginable is almost possible.
"So, what's next?" he writes. "Will corporations and special interest PACs eventually get the right to actually vote? Why not? They're already funding the worst government that money can buy." Read moreNo comments
Senate Committee Votes to Curb Political Spending by Corporations
Despite an uphill fight ahead, the Senate Judiciary Committee voted 10-8 on Thursday to advance a proposed constitutional amendment that would permit Congress and the states to bar corporations from spending to influence elections.
The "heated debate at the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday underscores the intensity of the fight over the growing role of unlimited money in elections," USA Today reported.
Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt. and the committee's chairman, said Supreme Court decisions on campaign finance regulation have "twisted the meaning of the First Amendment" and "opened the floodgates to billionaires." Read moreNo comments
JAS Files Brief on Campaign Contribution Limits Issue
Justice at Stake submitted a friend-of-the-court brief on Tuesday, contending that a trial court order striking down campaign contribution limits threatens fair and impartial courts in Montana.
JAS urged the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to reverse an order of the U.S. District Court striking down the Montana limits in 2012. Its brief maintains that the lower court misapplied relevant Supreme Court precedent and defied the settled law of the Ninth Circuit.
"This attack on contribution limits is neither justified by the Supreme Court's recent jurisprudence on campaign finance regulation, nor can it make sense when judges are elected," said Liz Seaton, JAS deputy executive director, in a statement.
"If we are to maintain fair and impartial courts, no party, no lawyer, and no interest group should be able to make outsized contributions that can even subtly influence a judge to rule in a particular way. Contribution limits implement the Constitution's promise that judicial decisions will not suffer even the appearance of favoritism," Seaton said.
JAS, The Campaign Legal Center, the League of Women Voters, and Common Cause signed the brief.No comments
Senators Face off over Proposal to Curtail Campaign Spending
Supporters and opponents of a constitutional amendment to rein in campaign spending debated the proposal at a hearing on Capitol Hill Tuesday. The hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee focused on the so-called Udall amendment, SJ Res 19, sponsored by Sen. Tom Udall (D) of New Mexico. Justice at Stake submitted a letter to the committee emphasizing the negative impact of campaign spending on judicial races, and attended the hearing at the invitation of the committee chairman's office.
Speaking at the hearing's start, Committee Chair Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) described the amendment as designed "to repair the damage done by a series of flawed Supreme Court rulings." One of these rulings, the Court's Citizens United decision, he described as having "opened the floodgates to billionaires." In an historic appearance, both the Senate's Majority Leader, Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.), and Minority Leader, Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) testified before the committee. Testifying for the amendment, Reid deplored the "flood of dark money" flowing into elections; McConnell countered that the amendment would weaken the right to free speech. Sen. Ted Cruz, (R-Tex.), argued that the proposal would have far-reaching impacts on free speech by groups on both sides of the aisle.
Spending in state judicial elections was cited by one witness, North Carolina State Senator Floyd McKissick, who pointed to the out-of-control spending in the state's recent judicial races. The state saw more than $1 million spent in a May primary for a single state Supreme Court seat.

Campaign Giving Limit On Way Out in Wisconsin
Wisconsin's limit of $10,000 for the aggregate sum a donor can give to all political candidates in a year appears destined for history as a result of the U.S. Supreme Court's McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission ruling (see Gavel Grab).
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that state election officials said in federal court proceedings they could no longer enforce the limit. Mike McCabe of Wisconsin Democracy Campaign, a Justice at Stake partner organization, said the decision is "going to vastly increase the power of a few hundred donors."
In another state development tied to campaign finance laws, the California legislature finished its approval of legislation that the Los Angeles Times said "would force nonprofit groups and others to disclose the true source of large contributions to California campaigns."No comments
McCutcheon's Ramifications are Debated
The U.S. Supreme Court's milestone recent ruling in McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission is continuing to draw a deluge of analysis and commentary. The ruling struck down a $123,000 limit on aggregate individual donations to federal candidates and political parties in an election cycle.
The 5-4 court majority effectively jettisoned "the post-Watergate system of campaign finance regulation," Linda Greenhouse wrote in a New York Times commentary, entitled "An Indecent Burial." Norman Ornstein, focusing on the majority's limited view of what constitutes political corruption, wrote a National Journal piece headlined, "Could America Become a Banana Republic?The Supreme Court's recent McCutcheon ruling paves the way for a new era of political corruption in the U.S."
"Can't We Just Say the Roberts Court is Corrupt?" asked a Moyers & Company commentary. Tom Levenson had an opinion piece in The Atlantic, and Zephyr Teachout authored a commentary in Politico.No comments

This could get awkward. Last week, according to reports the night before the BRIT Awards Ed Sheeran popped round to Taylor Swift's hotel for a spot of song-writing (no, that's not a euphemism). We know what you're thinking, that's pretty normal right?
Well, it would be if Taylor wasn't thought to be in the midst of writing a whole load of break up songs about her ex Harry Styles. The same Harry Styles who is actually really good friends with Ed Sheeran. We sense a conflict of interest here. Ed even did some of Harry's funny little tattoos. Awks.
Taylor and Ed have been friends for some time, a fact that he clarified last week following rumours that they could be dating, 'We're good friends,' he said. And it's well known that Taylor likes to write break up songs about her ex-boyfriends so whilst nothing's been confirmed it would all seem like a bit of a coincidence.
Since they broke up nearly two months ago (sob) Taylor and Harry have both been seen out with other people. Whilst Taylor is thought to be dating BRIT critics choice winner Tom O'Dell, Harry was spotted out and about with model Millie Brady.
We can't wait to hear Taylor's new music, if her ode to ex John Mayer 'Dear John' is anything to go by Harry better watch out!

Preheat oven to 375°F. Combine pecans, sugar, and butter in processor. Process until pecans are very finely chopped. Add egg white and process until well blended. Divide pecan topping equally among dough rect-angles; spread to within 1/4 inch of edges. Bake until pecan topping is set but cookies are still pale, about 10 minutes. Remove cookies from oven; maintain oven temperature.
Meanwhile, prepare nectarines and glaze
Thinly slice nectarine halves, keeping slices from each half together. Arrange 1 nectarine half atop each cookie, fanning slices decoratively. Return to oven and bake until cookies are light golden around edges, about 10 minutes. Transfer baking sheet with tarts to rack.
Bring apricot preserves and 1 tablespoon water to simmer in heavy small saucepan. Strain glaze through sieve set over bowl. Brush glaze over nectarine slices. Cool tarts completely on baking sheet. DO AHEAD Tarts can be made 6 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Rewarm any remaining glaze and brush over tarts before serving, if desired.

WASHINGTON -- Members of Congress say they're frustrated by a report that an Environmental Protection Agency employee was watching up to six hours of porn every day and hasn't been fired.
During a House oversight hearing it was revealed that the employee downloaded a lot of porn onto a government computer.
An agent from the Inspector General's office found the man sitting at his desk, watching porn, when the agent went to interview the man.
"The OIG's investigation determined that the employee downloaded and viewed more than 7,000 pornographic files during duty hours," the Inspector General's office reported.
The employee -- who annually earns $125,000 a year -- is now the focus of a Justice Department investigation, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
"When we have an employee who is looking at over 600 porn sites in a four-day period - and it's there in black and white - fire them!" said Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, during the hearing.

Colombia, the largest coal supplier in South America, will change the way it awards mineral exploration rights from next year -- forcing prospective companies to take part in auctions.
The changes will increase the benefits Colombia receives from mining as it seeks to boost production of minerals including gold, silver, platinum and copper, Mines and Energy Minister Mauricio Cardenas said in an interview in Toronto.
"It's going to be a more competitive process, a selection based on objective criteria rather than first come, first served," Cardenas said yesterday in an interview in Toronto at the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada convention.
President Juan Manuel Santos has attracted companies owned by billionaires Carlos Slim and Eike Batista to Colombia by cracking down on guerrilla groups and opening new areas to exploration amid rising global demand for energy and gold.
The selection criteria for the auctions that will begin in 2013 haven't been fixed yet, Cardenas said, who added that gold output may increase under the new regime.
"Our early victory, I think, is going to be gold," he said. "That's where we are going to have more reserves and we are going to have more production soon," he said.
The government is willing to debate proposed changes to mineral taxes and royalties but its preference is to maintain "stability" and he doesn't anticipate any major changes to legislation, he said.

Kushner: 'Only in the newspaper business' would L.A. Register's launch draw criticism
Los Angeles Register | LA Observed | Associated Press | Reuters
The Los Angeles Register launches Wednesday. Owners Aaron Kushner and Eric Spitz "are hand-delivering copies of the newspaper on Wednesday to business and civic leaders across Los Angeles," the paper says in a press release.
The paper promises heavy local coverage and opinion columnists who "will bring a right-of-center perspective and engage in civil debate," as well as "more than a dozen new community editions," the release says. Some of the staff moving north from the Register's homebase in Orange County, where Kushner publishes the Orange County Register, include sports columnist T.J. Simers; food writers Brad A. Johnson, Nancy Luna and Cathy Thomas; and film critic Michael Sragow. Read more

A "Keeper" is an animal caretaker. Keepers take care of the everyday needs of the animal(s) in their care. At Hollywild, they feed, clean habitats, monitor the health and well-being of the animals, and play with the animals and provide enrichment for them in the form of special treats, toys, or activities that stimulate their minds. With our Keeper's Notes below, you'll learn more
about the behind-the-scenes care of the special animals who call Hollywild Animal Park home. If you have a question you'd like answered by our keepers, you may email it to: email@example.com and we'll do our best to answer it in upcoming posts!
July 2014
We thank you for your patience as we address issues with our video feed to our webcam. Please note this is an issue within the park grounds and not an Earthcam issue. We will be back up and running with the fun views of our bears at play soon!
In the meantime, come on out to visit them in person. Our triplet cubs, born in January and housed for several months in a non-public area of the park are now enjoying their new 'playroom' near our Primate area.
And when our webcam is back up and running, you can see our three 2 1/2 year old cubs, Amalia, Samra, and Malika playing in rotation with their father Ramses, and "uncle" Honey Bear. (Honey is a grizzly bear and so not of the same line as the Syrian bears.)
An interesting note: Our animal staff explains that the Syrian bears are very similar to grizzlies in their body structure and behaviors and are often referred to as "Grizzlies of the East." Yet, due to the environmental differences, the Syrians tend to be smaller bears overall, especially the females.
And now you know! We have triplets! Hollywild is pleased to announce the January 11th birth of triplet Syrian Brown Bear Cubs, two females and one male, the first male cub ever born at the Park. Their parents are 26-year-old Ramses and 14-year-old Giza. These are the third set of offspring of the pair. In 2012, Giza gave birth to triplet females: Amalia, Samra, and Malica, still residing in the Park. You can often see them at play on our Earthcam. In 2013, Giza gave birth to Syriana Nyeff, another female cub, also still in residence at Hollywild. During our 2014 Park Season, visitors will have the unique opportunity to see bears at multiple stages of development.
Hollywild will offer Private Bear Encounters with the cubs. These are a fundraiser to assist with ongoing renovations to our Bear Habitats. Additional information about the Encounters will be posted on our website hompage and our Facebook Page. For more information, call (864)472-2038.
The cubs will make their first PUBLIC appearance as part of our International Earth Day celebration on Saturday, March 22nd. On that day we will have many special guest presenters at the Park and the cubs will be formally introduced at a 1 PM Creature Feature Show in our Amphitheater.
The Public is invited to help us name these precious babies. Name submissions will be accepted via emailed forms (available on our website homepage) or by forms submitted through our Park Admissions Gate.
In March we are open on weekends 10 AM - 5 PM. Admission is $10 for adults (ages 14 and up). March is Sneak Preview Month with discounted admission offered.
In April we will be open daily: weekdays from 9 AM - 1 PM and Weekends from 10 AM - 5 PM. Admission is $12 for adults; $10 for students and mlitary with ID; and $8 for children ages 2-14.
Please return to our homepage for additional information on all the great happenings at Hollywild - YOUR Animal Park for FUN!
TODAY (2/27/14) We are making several new announcements about our exciting 2014 Season at Hollywild! Stay tuned for our 1 PM live via webcam introduction to the season and some VERY PRECIOUS and SWEET guests!
Winter 2013 Though you haven't been able to see our bears with a walk-through visit during our Holiday Lights Safari Benefit Season, you have been interacting with them as they ahve watched you driving through for the night-time lights event. Coming for our Holiday Lights Safari Benefit provides essential support for all the animals who make their home at Hollywild, whether you see them during the event or not. We hope you'll continue enjoying watching our webcam during our winter months and will come back and see our animals, including these bears, when we reopen for visitors for our PARK SEASON weekends in March and daily beginning in April.
Viewer Question: Why aren't our bears hibernating?
Well they are and they aren't. In captivity, bears don't go through exactly the same process they would in the wild, though they still eat more in the fall in preparation for a 'rest' time during the winter. In the wild, food is just not as plentiful so they eat when it's available storing nutrients, then slow their body systems down through what we typically think of as 'hibernation' or sleeping through the winter. But in captive situations, when food is readily available, the bears do stay more active. They have the nutrients and environment to do so. Thankfully that means our webcam visitors will still get see our bears in action.
Fun note: The webcam is a great way to check the weather at the park if you're planning to visit!
NOTES from our 2013 Park Season - REMINDER - Visitors are welcome to submit questions to be answered here. Just email your questions to email@example.com!
Tuesday- Our bears sure have been enjoying the cooler weather! Even with the rains they still love to play in their pools, splashing around just like children. We have appreciated calls from people watching our bears. It is lovely to know you are watching them. Don't forget, if you have any questions you'd like answered here, email your question to firstname.lastname@example.com!
Wednesday- Are you enjoying the fruits of summer? So are our bears! In these days when watermelon are plentiful, our bears have even more fun with them than you do. Putting whole watermelons or large chunks of sweet fruit into the bear habitats provides more than just a snack. It's called enrichment for the bears, too. They can dig into the melons and pull on the rind to get at the sweet flesh and seeds inside. Having the challenge of getting to the 'good' inside stimulates their minds. Seasonal fruits make great food for both mind and body for our bear friends.
Tuesday- Thank you for asking about the rods and wires that have been put up on the bear habitat behind the upper pool and waterfall. Some additional construction is taking place on the back side of the habitat. While this is in process, a temporary fence has been put in place to keep the bears from climing down the back side of their mountain. This keeps everyone safe. The bears can continue to play in their pools during these summer days while the area is updated.
Wednesday- It's a lazy day here at the Park, our bears are strolling around and enjoying their comfortable living room. Ramses, our male Syrian brown bear is the one most likely to be showing off for our on-site visitors. We've even seen him sit up and wave his arms at us clearly hamming it up. It's quite likely that our crowds remind him of his days in a traveling bear show.
Friday- It appears that Ramses is encouraging Giza to enjoy a day at the Hollywild Spa as this Mother's Day weekend begins! And he's joining her! We love watching these bears enjoy time in the pools built just for their fun. Happy Mother's Day everyone!
Thursday- Giza and Ramses, two Syrian Brown bears, are enjoying their spa-like environment. It's been fun to watch them lounge in the water and recently we saw Ramses soaking then cleaning his feet in the water. Who'd have guessed that male bears like a pedicure! And, in case you were wondering, the limb that's been leafing out in front of our cam will be trimmed today!
This morning you are seeing our 15 month old cubs, Amalia, Samra, and Malica at play. These girls love to romp in the water and climb the rocks. They are now about 120 lbs each and growing fast which gives them their 'gangly, lanky' and some would say "awkward adolescent" look. For bears, this stage lasts several years until they start filling out in adulthood. Giza, the cubs' mother, is well over 500 lbs and their dad, Ramses, tops out over 800 lbs according to keeper estimates. As the day progresses and the bears rotate in and out, you'll be able to see them too and notice the differences!
Welcome to Eyes on Hollywild! Today you are looking at one of our bear habitats, but more importantly, you are meeting our three 15 month old Syrian brown bears.The girls are named Amalia Nur, Malica Ishtar, and Samra' May, in honor of their Syrian heritage. Not yet adults, we know they still don't quite look like cubs either as they each now weigh about 120 lbs! Their sister, Syriana Nyeff is only three months old and weighs less than 20 lbs.She is too young to join her sisters just yet but will be meeting visitors to the park during Creature Feature Programs. In coming weeks you will be able to see the triplets or their parents (dad Ramses, mom Giza (each about 400 lbs)) or their distant 'cousin' Honey Bear, a Grizzly. But today, watch our girls as they play together, splash in the pools, climb the rocks, and explore their fun 'living room.' . . Can you start to see their individual personalities? We are pleased to invite you to meet these ladies and hope you'll visit us often to spend time with our exciting Hollywild family members!.

Your browser does not support iframes. Justin Upton is one of the most promising young players in baseball, and the Atlanta Braves are hoping he brings the pop he showed in 2011 over with him to his new team. Upton blasted 31 homers and drove in 88 runs with the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2011. That total went down a disappointing 17 homers in 2012, but Upton left little doubt on Thursday that he is still capable of hitting the long ball. During Atlanta's spring training game against the Washington Nationals, Upton sent a home run flying over the scoreboard in center field that probably still hasn't landed. It was as monstrous a homer as we've seen all preseason. Upton already has over 100 home runs in his career and he is only 25 years old. When he hits shots like that, we can see why. He hasn't yet broken a scoreboard like this young Miami Marlins stud, but clearing it altogether is equally impressive.

Cross-platform collaboration with Alfresco
The Alfresco collaboration tool lets you track documents, share content, and collaborate with team members – and it integrates nicely with Microsoft SharePoint.
Alfresco is an open source tool you can use to share web content, orchestrate workflows, manage documents, and collaborate in real time [1]. All of these features make Alfresco a suitable alternative for Microsoft's popular SharePoint collaboration system. This article provides a brief tour of Alfresco and shows how you can get started with content sharing and collaboration.
Alfresco comes in two flavors: the community version, which is free to download [2], and a commercial cloud application that lets you pay as you go. This article focuses on the free version. For more information on the commercial, enterprise version, see the Alfresco website [3].
You can download the Alfresco community edition as a complete package, along with the web server and the database. To avoid incompatibilities with port assignments, make sure you don't already have a web server running on the system, or else take the necessary steps to ensure the ports don't clash.
A custom installation option is available for more complex scenarios, such as network installation on a remote system. You can download the source code from the Alfresco website and upload the files to your web server. Then, just access the Alfresco folder via your web browser. The installation script will then take over and, after you fill in the required details, such as the database and password, the installation is complete!
Getting Started
Alfresco organizes content into sites. A site is actually a form of website with support for Alfresco's many collaboration and content sharing features. You can manage multiple sites from one Alfresco account. For example, you might have a separate site for different internal projects within your company.
When you log in to Alfresco, you will find a link labeled sites, on the upper left side of the web page. All the sites you have created can be accessed via this link, and you can also use the Sites menu to create add a new site to your Alfresco configuration.
To create a new site, just click the Create Site link in the Sites menu (Figure 1) and enter the name, URL, and description for the site in the new window. That's how easy it is – your site is ready.
As you navigate to your new Alfresco site, you will find the site dashboard (Figure 2). On the top, just below the menu bar, is a suggestion bar, which tells you about various available features. Below are several blocks on the site, which display specific information. These blocks are called dashlets. Dashlets provide a summary of the site members, content, features. As the creator of the site on Alfresco, you can customize these dashlets, and users will see the dashboard as arranged by you.
Dashlets are very useful for displaying information about users and resources. For example, the Site Notice dashlet lets you convey important information to the intended audience with minimal effort. To browse the available dashlets, click the Customize Dashboard button on the top right corner of the site dashboard (Figure 2). You can change the page layout, as well as add or remove dashlets.
Your site will also need users. Registered Alfresco users have to be invited before they can use a specific site. Each user has a role in the site, which is assigned when the user is invited to join.
To add a user to your site, click the invite button in the upper-right corner of the site dashboard (Figure 2). Before an invitation is sent to the user, you have to select a role for the user. Based on the role, the user has privileges assigned for the site.
After you create a site and add users to it, the next step is to customize the site to contain the elements you would like to include with the design. Will your team need a blog, links, data lists, or discussion groups? To customize your site, click on the More button in the upper right corner of the site dashboard (again in Figure 2) and select "Customize Site" in the drop-down menu.
The Customize Site page (Figure 3) lets you add elements to the site design. Once these features are added, they appear on the menu bar of your site. You could also enable the corresponding dashlet in order to see the feature on the site dashboard.
Document Management
When the site and its users are ready, it is time to upload documents. Alfresco allows online/offline editing of documents; document locking, version control, robust document content search, and much more.
By default, all the documents in the document library are available to users with the necessary privileges. Alfresco also offers a way to override the default privilege, and you can even manage permissions for each document separately.
On the site dashboard menu bar, click the
document library link. This link takes you to the document repository where documents are stored (Figure 4). Here you can organize the documents in your library by creating folders.
To manage permissions for a document, just mouse over the document and click More, then click the link labeled Manage Permissions. Alfresco provides an online file viewer for most common file types, so you don't have to download the file to see the content. To view the documents in the online viewer, click on the document, and Alfresco will open it.
To lock a file so that no one else can edit it until you are done, click on More and then select Edit Offline.

I have rich memories of communion with God from as far back as I can remember. In fact, memories of God are my first memories. I hold deep within me early experiences of being with God in joy and fullness. This strong, intimate prayer life was the centerpiece of my faith. Throughout my childhood and adolescence, I walked through my days in wonder and deep relationship with the Spirit.
I was raised Southern Baptist in the mountains of East Tennessee. I like to say that I experienced the best of what it means to be Baptist without much of the negative. In my late teens and twenties, I became familiar with a wide range of Christian theologies and worship styles as I served Baptist, United Methodist, Presbyterian, Church of God, and Anglican congregations as a music minister. Given the diversity of our denomination, this was excellent preparation for my ministry. Through participating in a wide variety of ministries (with youth; children; incarcerated women; homeless men, women and children) and my seminary experience, I forged deep connections between social realities, spiritual experiences, human suffering, theological and ethical inquiry, the church, and the Christian life and ministry.
My faith – both practiced and conceptualized – has deepened and broadened, has become increasingly relevant as I have met with the crises, disappointments, fears and changes of my life. I have come to rely on the companionship, care, and guidance of God through coming out and an ensuing divorce and custody battle; through a year and a half of betrayal and trauma which threatened my vocation; and through a variety of personal and pastoral struggles. Through these challenges, I have discovered a new and vibrant reliance on the Spirit. My faith has been remade and my ability to be honest and comfortable with my own weaknesses and strengths has transformed my life and ministry. I live in daily dependence, seeking the will and heart of God and finding contentment in God's work with and in me.

Olympic Hero Mo Held In US Terror Blunder
Double Olympic champion Mo Farah has said he has been questioned by US border officials on suspicion of being a terrorist.
The team GB star even got out his two gold medals to show the customs officers who he was, but to no avail.
Farah, who was born in Somalia and moved to Britain with his father when he was eight, was detained as he was heading to Portland, Oregon, to spend Christmas with his family.
He moved to America last year to work with his coach, marathon champion Alberto Salazar, at the Nike headquarters.
Despite his international fame, the long distance runner revealed he often gets stopped at customs because of his Somali origin.
Farah, aged 29, told The Sun: "I couldn't believe it. Because of my Somali origin I get detained every time I come through US Customs.
"This time I even got my medals out to show who I am, but they wouldn't have it."
The 10,000m and 5,000m Olympic champion also told the newspaper how he had trouble applying for a residency permit to live in Portland.
"We were in Portland on a tourist visa so had to leave and re-enter the country as a resident.
"So we flew to Toronto to stay for a few days, then come back in.
"But when we were there we got a letter telling us we're under investigation as a terrorist threat and we would have to stay away for 90 days.
"We had only packed four days' worth of clothes. We didn't know what to do."
Luckily, Farah's coach had a friend in the FBI, who happened to be a fan of long distance running and knew of Mo, who sorted it out for him.

Quite possible, but I bet she'll be using a different striker unit (J7W) and could have a battle expression :)
Considering they didn't re-release the old Sanya and went with a completely new design, I bet they would make an entirely new figure if they re-release Yoshika. Especially considering Alter seems to be setting a precedent for rereleasing all the Strike Witches at some point.
