Los Angeles is a wonderful city in the wintertime. Although you're unlikely to see any snow (any real snow, that is – with Hollywood, you never know what kind of movie magic will happen around you), there are still plenty of festive activities to help you celebrate the holiday season.
From big-budget theme park attractions to some low-key local fun, there's plenty to choose from in L.A. when it comes to seasonal activities.
To help you plan that perfect itinerary, we've put together a list of our favorite Los Angeles holiday attractions.
Many of these great activities are available on the Go Los Angeles® Card.
Choose as you go from dozens of top Los Angeles attractions and save up to 55% off combined admission vs paying at the gate. Or, build your own pass and save up to 20% off.

Universal Studios Hollywood
Select dates, December 5 – January 3, 2016
This is the perfect holiday attraction for kids, and any fans of Dr. Seuss.
Roam throughout a section of Universal Studios Hollywood that's been transformed into a wintery Who-ville, complete with a Seussian tree, Max the dog, and of course, the Grinch himself.
Just a reminder – weekday tickets to Universal Studios are included on 3, 5, and 7-Day Go Los Angeles Cards.
Get photos with the stars of the show, enjoy making holiday crafts and decorating cookies, relax and listen to Who-ville carolers, and stick around for story time with Cindy-Lou Who.
Holiday in the Park
Six Flags Magic Mountain
November 27 – January 3, 2016
This holiday season, enjoy your favorite rides and slides at Six Flags Magic Mountain – with a holiday twist! All your favorite seasonal rides are still available, with the added bonus of fun and special Christmastime activities added in.
The plaza has been transformed into Holiday Square, with hundreds upon hundreds of glittering lights, an artificial winter snowfall (we told you that was coming), and festive carolers.
You can also enjoy musical performances and dance numbers with a holiday theme, and, of course, pay a visit to the Santa and Mrs. Claus with their merry elves.
The Polar Express: 4D Experience
The Queen Mary
November 20 – January 10, 2016
The holidays are the perfect time to check out the Queen Mary's new 4-D Theatre because they've got a fantastic movie on for the kids this year – Tom Hanks' beloved Polar Express.
In addition to 3-D picture and hi-def sound, you'll also be introduced to moving seats, periodic hints of scent, and atmospheric affects like snow, wind, and mist.
It's truly a Hollywood-esque experience and is a fun new way to experience this classic family film.
Knott's Merry Farm
Knott's Berry Farm
November 21 – January 3, 2016
Knott's is the place to be this time of year if you're a Peanuts fan. From a charming Snoopy ice show to photo ops with all the animated favs, the family will be delighted by this kid-friendly holiday experience.
You'll also get to enjoy some snow each night in Ghost Town, shop a Christmas Crafts Village for unique gifts, and enjoy tons of seasonal live entertainment. Make an entire day of it at Knott's Merry Farm!
Aquarium Holidays
Aquarium of the Pacific
Select dates, December 5 – 24, 2015
"'Tis the season to be jelly," proclaims the Aquarium of the Pacific, and we're inclined to agree with this adorable sentiment and the accompanying event series.
In addition to its festive holiday décor all month long and daily inside "snowfall," the Aquarium is offering specialty weekend events in celebration of the season.
See your favorite aquatic critters dressed in Christmastime costumes, witness the park's inhabitants play with holiday enrichment treats and toys, donate to their Spark of Love toy drive, and enjoy dessert with Santa.
Other fun benefits included discounted admission, late-night visits with the animals, and more.
LA Zoo Lights
Los Angeles Zoo
November 27 – January 3, 2016
This is a fun one for the whole family. Explore an area of the LA Zoo that's been transformed into a magical wintery experience, complete with dazzling animals constructed from hundreds of lights and other fanciful materials, and innovative displays combining lights, water, and accompanying tunes.
You'll also get a chance to meet Santa on select dates, interact with a few reindeer, and enjoy festive holidays cookies and other great treats. Ticketed separately from zoo admission.
Save on Admission
However you end up celebrating the holidays in L.A., we know you'll do it in style with these fun seasonal attractions.
And remember, a Go Los Angeles® Card can save you big on admission to many of these holiday attractions, leaving more money left over for present shopping.

Scientific Name: Papio hamadryas
Conservation Status: Least Concern
Body Length: 65–75 cm
Weight: 12–21 kg
Gestation: 160 days
Number of young: 1
Distribution: Ethiopia, Somalia, Saudi Arabia and Yemen
Habitat: Rocky desert
Description: Hamadryas Baboons are grey-brown in colour. Adult males develop a shaggy, silvery-grey shoulder mane. The tail of both sexes is 35–61 cm long. Baboons have a large muzzle, rather like a dog, which houses their large canine teeth.
Diet: Baboons are omnivores and eat grass, roots, tubers, seeds, nuts, fruit, insects and small animals.
In the wild: Hamadryas Baboons have a highly organised, unique and complicated social structure. A male will dominate up to 10 females at a time and form a 'family'. Several families form a clan; several clans form a band; and several bands form a troop. The dominant male maintains these groups or 'harems' by threats and force.
Their natural predators are leopards, lions, hyaenas, pythons and eagles.
At Perth Zoo: The Hamadryas Baboons can be seen in the African Savannah.
Did you know? Unlike other species, male baboons remain with the clan while females leave to join another. The male's ownership of a 'family' is passed down to his male offspring.
A male baboon 'yawns' as a threat display to show off its canines which can be up to 4 cm long.
Grooming is very important for maintaining the social bond. Less dominant members do a greater proportion of the grooming.

S&P in Holding Pattern as Apple Boosts Nasdaq
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The S&P 500 was little changed on Tuesday as the Federal Reserve presidents began the first of a two-day meeting while a hedge fund's investment in Apple
The S&P 500 rose 0.04% to 1,685.96 while the Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 0.01% to 15,520.59. The Nasdaq added 0.48% to 3,616.47.
Apple tacked on 1.2% to close at $453.32 as David Einhorn of Greenlight Capital Management revealed that his hedge fund continues to hold an over $1 billion stake in Apple as it braces for the prospect of a global market correction.
Meanwhile, Apple CEO Tim Cook was spotted in China recently, his third such trip to the Far East, as he attempts to restart sluggish revenue in what many believe will be the iPad maker's most important market.
Pfizer posted adjusted income of $4 billion, or 56 cents a share, down from year-earlier earnings of $4.45 billion, or 59 cents a share. Revenue fell 7% to $12.97 billion. Analysts were expecting second-quarter income of 55 cents a share on revenue of $13.01 billion.

Ahead of the open, the S&P/Case-Shiller 20-city home price index showed a lower-than-expected year-over-year gain of 12.2% in May following a 12.1% increase in April. Expectations were for a gain of 12.4% in May, according to a Thomson Reuters poll of economists.

I have the FSM and the parts catalogs for my bike and was wondering if there is a reference somewhere that would which bikes a particular part number fits. So I would look up a part number and find out what other years and models a part fits.
For example the footboard pads for my 91 FLSTC are listed as 50614-91, as these are standard D-shaped floorboards, it is hard for me to believe they fit only a 91 FLSTC.
I know there is an interchange book for auto wreckers, surely there is one for Harleys as well.

When we first featured 431 Howland Canal on The Agency blog, we noted its steps-away proximity to Abbot Kinney Boulevard's collection of fashionable boutiques, great eateries and numerous art galleries, all situated in a laid back setting that only Venice Beach can offer.
Well, GQ has taken notice of what locals have long known (and perhaps wanted to keep their own little secret), declaring Abbot Kinney Boulevard "The Coolest Block in America."
"Just about everything in GQ's Style Bible (plus delicious cocktails and a swim) can be had on Abbot Kinney Boulevard in Venice California," says the magazine (view article here). In making its claim, GQ highlights 14 of the boutiques (Jack Spade, A+R, Guild, Waraku, Milkmade and Surfing Cowboys, to name a few) that earn Abbot Kinney the title of coolest stretch of road around.
The appeal of Abbot Kinney though doesn't end with its superb shopping. The culinary scene is among the best in Southern California with its diverse mix of casual and up-scale restaurants, such as Gjelina, 3 Square Bakery, Joe's Restaurant and The Tasting Kitchen. And if food trucks are your thing, and in L.A. they should be, you have the once-a-month gustatory feast that is "First Fridays," which features the city's best four-wheel gourmet purveyors parked along the street as shops stay open late and offer live entertainment.
Add to all of this the fact that you're outside soaking up the SoCal sun while enjoying the fresh ocean air coming off the Pacific just blocks away, it simply doesn't get any better; that is, until you return home to your serene oasis on the Venice Canals just a short walk away.
Experience 431 Howland Canal in person by contacting Billy Rose or Jonathan Ruiz today.

Never empty your cup, get a bigger cup

New approach ... learn aikido as an addition to what you already know, but give it time to blend into what you already know.
This is the approach I use for people who are having a hard time adapting to Aikido.
It is not so much an adaptation, but the next level you need to advance you training and put to use the knowledge you have gained from other studys.
Cup of knowledge? Some story created while drinking tea, or cupping hands to drink water .... good adage if seen for it's common sense, but too many of us have no sense. The cup is given too much importance when learning to explain Aikido in terms of movements that apply to all martial arts is what is lacking.
Bigger cup?
Next evolution to being able to explain these movements across the board for all martial arts.
Is that simple enough?
About the boxing, ever notice how it is aimed at the upper body in an attempt to cause submission or knockout? No thumb, or elbows, or kicks to the legs, jujitsu, judo throws, etc, etc,etc
Lots of rules to restrict many types of movements, and techniques, eh?
Same goes for this grappling business too.
Oh, well.
That cup needs to travel and get a bit more knowledge, doesn't it/

Katherine Jackson On Granddaughter Paris' Recovery: 'She Is Doing Much Better'
Michael Jackson's mom Katherine Jackson maintains the King of Pop's daughter Paris is "in a good place" as she battles her inner demons in a treatment facility.
In June, the 15 year old was rushed to a Los Angeles hospital amid rumors of a suicide attempt, and after more than a month in the unit she was transferred to a secluded residential facility specializing in treating depressed teenagers.
Her grandmother Katherine has now spoken out to reveal Paris, who kept a collage of photographs of her late father on her bedroom wall, is recovering well and is expected to return home by December.
Katherine tells Hello! magazine, "She's in a good place, getting help she needs... She is doing much better. The treatment is going good, really good. She's my baby. It's hard for me, really hard. All I wanted these kids to be is happy... My heart just bleeds for her because she is so young."
Katherine shares legal guardianship of Paris and her brothers, Prince, and Blanket, following Michael's death from an accidental overdose of anesthetic propofol in 2009.

Jimmie Walker Says He's Never Watched An Episode Of 'Good Times'
Actor Jimmie Walker has never seen a single episode of his hit TV show Good Times.
The 65 year old rose to fame playing ladies man J. J. Evans on the popular sitcom in the 1970s, but despite landing two Golden Globe nominations for his work during its five-season run, Walker confesses he was too busy to see any of his performances.
During an interview on Today on Tuesday, he said, "(I) never watched it... Because I was always busy doing other stuff. I had a writing staff - as many of you may or may not know - (including TV hosts) Jay Leno, David Letterman, (comedian) Louie Anderson, all these guys, and what we did was we met all the time."
"So during the time when the show was on we just never had a chance to (watch episodes)."
Yet the actor had no trouble keeping up with the storylines - because fans and journalists constantly kept him abreast of character developments, adding, "The people on the street, they'll tell you what you're doing."

Retailers should keep this in mind in setting technology priorities.
Recent reports by Forbes magazine and technology news source Ars Technica say that Internet Explorer from Microsoft Corp. is regaining the lead as the world's most popular browser. I'm skeptical. I don't know anyone who uses IE by choice—except maybe my grandparents.
So, I polled a roomful of my twenty-something peers who agreed that when it's up to us, it's Google Chrome. If we were a Mac crowd, I'd expect the same for Apple Safari. (IPhones and iPads run Safari by default, as do all Macintosh devices.) Only when forced to—for example, when IE is already installed on a company computer—do my friends and I use the Microsoft browser.
Then I looked for some evidence to counter the claims of Internet Explorer's popularity and found what I wanted: The graph below, compiled by e-mail ad platform provider LiveIntent.
LiveIntent places advertising in millions of e-mail newsletters and alerts worldwide each day on behalf of more than 100 publishers. It uses third-party databases to obtain demographic information about who opens the messages for advertisers who request audience segmentation.
The data show that the younger set indeed prefers Google's Chrome and Apple's Safari browsers to Internet Explorer. Moreover, the majority of those aged 21 to 35 in the LiveIntent pool open e-mails with the iPhone. Although iPhone users account for less than 25% of the total e-mail opens, the great popularity of the Apple device in that age range is apparent. Many consumers also open e-mails on Android mobile devices—this is clearly a mobile generation. Additionally, younger consumers frequently use Firefox while on PCs.
For retailers, this data demands attention for two reasons. One, if you're not optimizing your e-commerce site for mobile browsing on Apple and Android devices you risk losing out on selling to younger consumers who tend to be avid buyers of fashion, electronics and home décor. Consumers quickly ignore sites that don't render well on mobile devices. With more and more of them using smartphones to shop, the losses will only increase.
Secondly, looking ahead, retailers might consider giving less weight to Internet Explorer in testing how well their sites render on a PC. In an extreme case, one online startup with limited resources, portfolio-hosting service 4ormat, decided to completely drop IE support for their web pages and saved $100,000, TechCrunch reported recently. For this small web site operator, paying attention to the specific demographic of its clients resulted in significant savings.
For any retailer, it's all about knowing its customers and figuring out the best way to allocate limited resources. For the time being, many consumers still use IE, as even 4ormat realizes.
"Choosing to not support certain browsers or spending more time on other browsers is directly related to your resources and audience. Any retailer would want good support for IE7 and above, just because so many people are locked into IE in corporate environments and make purchases while at work," 4ormat co-founder Tyler Rooney told me in an e-mail. "That said, I feel like many new retailers might see a better use of resources by degrading features on IE7/8 and spending more time on fully featured sites for mobile browsers." He went on to cite recent reports of iPad shoppers purchasing not only more frequently, but also spending more than desktop shoppers.
The data speak, and retailers would be well advised to pay attention to the browsing trends of the increasingly mobile younger generation of shoppers.

Am I the only one who thinks it is funny that this whole Duck Dynasty controversy has flipped the standard political ideology on its head? My friends on the Right are the ones arguing for the rights of the employee and my compatriots on the Left are the ones saying that the powerful, faceless corporation should have total say over his life 24/7. Just an observation. On to this week's Winners and Losers and yes, the Great Louisiana Redneck Comment Controversy of 2013 made the list.
Smaller Government – Winner – I moved to the Great State of Texas this year. When I first arrived here I was frankly appalled at the fact that there is no household recycling program here. I was so disappointed that my new home cared so little about the environment that they couldn't be bothered to recycle. Five months into my Texas journey, I see just how wrong I was to judge so quickly. Instead of the government using our tax dollars to provide sturdy plastic recycling bins and send extremely expensive specialized trucks to my house to pick up my recycling, I have to drop by one of the conveniently located recycling centers to drop it off. It is that simple. The thought is that the people who are either too lazy or care so little that they won't leave five minutes early on their way to school or work to drop off the recycling probably wouldn't bother to separate their recycling at home anyway. So this program gets the same results with a fraction of the cost (in theory, anyway). Personal responsibility for the collective good – what a concept.
Bill O'Reilly – Winner, sort of – Bill O'Reilly took to the airwaves this week to expressly disavow Phil Robertson's controversial statements and publicly support the LGBT movement. No, really. I am totally serious. The Conservative mouthpiece said exactly what LGBT leaders want influencers to say. He was unequivocal in his "we're all in the together" stance in denouncing Robertson. The reason that I couched O'Reilly's winner status with the ever-so-eloquent "sort of" is that I have yet to see him get even the tiniest sliver of appreciation from the quarters that generally malign him but should be lauding him this week. LGBT and Liberal groups should remember the old adage about "the enemy of my enemy".
A&E – Loser – Talk about your knee-jerk overreaction. A&E's immediate suspension of Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson was ill-conceived and poorly enacted. The self-described "champions of LGBT" issues killed their golden goose for the crime of expressing a personal opinion in an interview with GQ Magazine. I guess the network honchos never considered that the rest of the cast – who just so happen to all be members of Phil's immediate family – may take exception. Now A&E is in the uncomfortable position of having to stick by their overreaction in order not to alienate their core constituency at the cost of alienating their bread and butter – fans of the only show on the network with ratings worthy of mention. A&E is in a bad spot with no apparent workable exit strategy.
Ayo Kimathi – Winner – Ayo Kimathi, the Department of Homeland Security employee who made national headlines in August when it was revealed that he was running a hate-filled racist website must be enjoying all the furor over Robertson's single, non-violent comment. Kimathi is on paid leave – which sounds an awful lot like a vacation to me – four months later and still running his hate-mongering website calling for the genocide of all people with white skin.
Christmas – Winner – There has been a noticeable lull in the alleged War on Christmas this year. After several seasons of getting only fearful and confused looks from store clerks upon wishing them a "Merry Christmas," I have noticed that I am more apt to get an affirmative response this year. And as Camp Campaign correspondent Eric Blake explains, my experience seems to be part of a larger trend away from the ongoing secular / humanist War on Christmas.

For something in its infancy (both literally, and in dollar terms), mobile advertising makes a lot of noise. It's suddenly a required part of every digital ad package, and traditional agencies are scrambling to work up their own mobile offerings. In the trendy world of app building, nascent efforts at mobile display ads and transaction-based mobile platforms may have generated only $550 million to $650 million in revenue last year, according to the Interactive Advertising Bureau—compare that with the larger category of online advertising, which brought in $26 billion—but it's growing fast. Last year's revenue in the category was roughly 30 percent higher than 2009's, and BIA/Kelsey predicts the market will swell to $2.9 billion by 2014.
The average U.S. advertiser reserves around 2 percent to 5 percent of its overall ad budget for mobile apps, according to Kai Buehler, CEO of Mobile Messaging Solutions. While that money previously came out of the digital pool, Buehler said it's increasingly common for advertisers to dedicate a budget and even an in-house position to the category.
But even as mobile devices evolve at an ever more rapid pace—including the introduction of tablets—mobile advertising is still deciding what, exactly, it is. What advertisers have learned is that a mobile campaign isn't as simple as cramming a display ad into a smartphone. "Brands don't just want ads in an app experience," says Steven Golus, general manager of mobile at DataXu. "They want cross-selling, m-commerce, and in-store advertising."
They also want exciting creative, and to enhance a customer's experience in their stores with apps utilizing geo-tagging, for example. And as anyone who has used an iPad or Xoom can testify, the proliferation of high-definition tablets allows for high-quality display ads.
But many brand managers, as well as the creative at traditional agencies, are still far from mobile savvy. That's where the agencies on our list come in. These shops, devoted exclusively to mobile advertising, are among a selection of agencies as steeped in digital technology as they are creative. While some have been around for a decade or more, it's "still the early days [of mobile]," says Mark Mackenzie, head of digital media venture capital at AllianceBernstein. "The pieces aren't all there—the analytics, the data. [But they're] being built out."

ROSEVILLE, Minn. (AP) -- As many as 100 residents of an apartment building in Roseville had to find another place to stay after a fire and smoke damaged their units.
The tenant of the unit where the fire started Tuesday night says she thought she turned off the stove after cooking dinner and left to pick up a friend at the bus station.
Roseville firefighters rescued one resident through a window of the three-story building. The Pioneer Press says Centennial Commons apartments were built in the 1960s and had no sprinklers in the building.

|Admiral Maxwell Forrest (2154)
|Vice admiral
|Deceased (2154)
|Played by:
|Vaughn Armstrong
|Commodore Forrest (2143)
Maxwell Forrest was a Human Starfleet official in charge of the NX Project during the 2140s and 2150s. As a commodore, he supervised the first tests of the warp five engine. As such, he worked closely with the Vulcans, who were supervising Humanity's progress into space.
NX Project Edit
As a Starfleet Commodore, Forrest was responsible for overseeing the NX Project and had been doing so as early as 2143. In that year, he would choose A.G. Robinson over Jonathan Archer to pilot the NX-Alpha. This decision was a difficult one for Forrest since the engine of the NX-Alpha was designed by Archer's father, Henry Archer.
Robinson easily broke the Warp 2 barrier, but the ship exploded shortly after reaching warp 2.2. Robinson survived by jettisoning an escape pod while at warp. The Vulcans claimed that the warp program should be postponed. Forrest stopped at the 602 Club, a bar frequented by Starfleet personnel, and informed Archer and Robinson that the program would be suspended. After Archer and Robinson disobeyed orders and ran a new test that was successful, Forrest persuaded Starfleet Command to reinstate the program. (ENT: "First Flight")
The Enterprise mission Edit
Launch Edit
As an admiral, Forrest was responsible for supervising the ongoing mission of the Enterprise NX-01. After a Klingon crashed on Earth, the Vulcans wanted to delay the mission and return the Klingon to its homeworld. Forrest overruled them and decided that Starfleet would return the Klingon. He authorized the early launch of Enterprise to return Klaang to Qo'noS alive despite the protests of Ambassador Soval and the Vulcans.
Jonathan Archer, son of Henry Archer, who had designed the warp engine, was assigned as the captain of Enterprise. Forrest told Archer that Humanity had been waiting a hundred years for this chance, and told him not to screw up. Forrest also officiated over the launching ceremony of Enterprise. At a press conference prior to the mission launch, he said that Humans had been ankle deep in space travel and that it was time to swim. (ENT: "Broken Bow")
The mission Edit
Forrest stayed in constant touch with Enterprise. He gave many orders as different situations arose.
He ordered the ship to investigate a distress call from ECS Fortunate, a cargo ship that was attacked by Nausicaan pirates. Enterprise was visited by a group of Vulcans who did not embrace logic. Forrest contacted Archer and asked him to have one of the Vulcans, named Kov, call his father, who was dying. (ENT: "Fortunate Son", "Fusion")
Forrest had to constantly walk a delicate balance between the goal of Human space exploration and Vulcan misgivings about it. After the discovery of P'Jem as a base for spy activity against the Andorians, it was destroyed in an attack by the Andorians. The Vulcan High Command called for an end of Enterprise's mission. When Forrest refused, the Vulcans called off joint Earth-Vulcan fleet operations and wanted T'Pol transferred off Enterprise. The Vulcans eventually relented after T'Pol and Archer saved Sopek, a senior Vulcan officer. Later Forrest would order Archer to arbitrate a dispute between the Andorians and Vulcans after hostilities broke out over the disputed planet called Weytahn. He also ordered Enterprise to transport Vulcan Ambassador V'Lar from the Mazarite homeworld. She had information on the corruption of government officials and her life was in danger. (ENT: "Shadows of P'Jem", "Cease Fire", "Fallen Hero")
After an accident seemingly caused by Enterprise killed 3,600 Paraagans when tetrazine was ignited by the ship, Forrest informed Archer that at the urging of the Vulcan High Command and Starfleet, Enterprise's mission was canceled. After Archer presented evidence that vindicated Enterprise, the mission was reinstated by Forrest. (ENT: "Shockwave", "Shockwave, Part II")
After Archer contacted him about a strange space ship with a Human corpse in it. Forrest thought that it might be Zefram Cochrane who had disappeared mysteriously. (ENT: "Future Tense") After an arctic team lost contact with Starfleet, Admiral Forrest was informed and led a team to investigate. They rushed to the site, only to find it abandoned. He found that the scientists were missing, as was their transport. Admiral Forrest called in Enterprise to find the transport. This was Humanity's first contact with the cybernetic beings known as the Borg, although they never found out what their name was. (ENT: "Regeneration")
The Xindi mission Edit
Forrest authorized the mission of Enterprise to search for the Xindi in the Delphic Expanse.
After the first Xindi attack and Archer's meeting with the humanoid from the future who gave him details of the Xindi, Forrest meets with Archer at Starfleet Headquarters. At first, Admiral Forrest was not convinced about Archer's information. Forrest wasn't convinced that Archer's information justified a mission into the Delphic Expanse. After Archer provided proof by proving that the remains of the Xindi probe which shows that some of the debris was from the future, Forrest authorized the mission. (ENT: "The Expanse")
Later career Edit
After the successful Xindi mission, Forrest welcomed the Enterprise crew home as heroes. Archer was debriefed by Starfleet Command and the Vulcan High Command. When Ambassador Soval insinuated that the trellium-infected Vulcan ship Seleya was destroyed without doing enough to help the crew, Archer became outraged, blaming the Vulcan High Command for not providing enough assistance in their mission. Admiral Forrest ordered Archer to take some time off to clear his mind. (ENT: "Home")
Forrest was killed in 2154 in a terrorist bombing of Earth's embassy on Vulcan. In his final conversation with Ambassador Soval, he was discussing joint missions between Earth and Vulcan. Forrest's last act was to push Soval out of the blast wave, sacrificing himself. (ENT: "The Forge")
In an alternate timeline, Forrest sent a message to Enterprise after meeting with the Command Council to transfer command of the ship to Subcommander T'Pol. He was likely killed when the Xindi superweapon was deployed against Earth shortly thereafter. (ENT: "Twilight")

Background Edit
The character of Forrest was named after DeForest Kelley, the Original Series actor who played Doctor McCoy. [1]
In a character breakdown sheet that Paramount sent to various talent agents upon casting Star Trek: Enterprise pilot "Broken Bow", Admiral Forrest was described as a non-recurring role, scheduled to appear only in the pilot episode, and was characterized thus; "Human male. 50s to 60s. A career military man who's the highest ranking officer in Starfleet. He's fond of Captain Archer and has personally selected him to command Enterprise." [2] Forrest was played by Star Trek veteran Vaughn Armstrong.

The Huskies will compete in the Paradise Jam in the U.S. Virgin Islands for the first time since winning the championship in 2007. They defeated No. 4 Stanford, Old Dominion and No. 9 Duke in a span of four days.
The field is not as impressive this season. UConn will face Wake Forest Thursday, Marist Friday and No. 14 Purdue Saturday. But this does not mean that the experience will be any less valuable for the Huskies.
"To me, the trip and the three games that's almost more than exactly who you're playing because it's hard to manufacture the kind of match-ups we had back then for whatever reason,'' UConn coach Geno Auriemma said. "There's more tournaments now. There's more places for people to go. As conferences get bigger then they've got to play more conferences games so that's less games that they can play out of conference. So I just like the fact that we're going down there. We're going to get together for a couple days and we're going to play three teams that our young guys are going to get some experience playing against.''
Junior center Stefanie Dolson, who is not shy when it comes to having a little fun, was talking about her remarkable transformation in the bowels of Reed Arena following Sunday's win at then-No. 16 Texas A&M. She has lost 12 pounds through a revamped diet and exercise. In particular, she took part in the grueling INSANITY workout last summer.
When Dolson was asked if she was still doing INSANITY, she glanced over to her right where Auriemma was standing and replied … "This is insanity enough.''

Infographic: Mobile Is Both a Curse and a Cure for Showrooming
33% of people showroom globally and 21% of those shoppers use their phone while doing so. In their annual Mobile Life Study, fellow Kantar company, TNS, highlights the growing use of "showrooming": examining a product in-store before buying online at a lower price. Consumers are getting more comfortable with mobile transactions, savvier with mobile shopping apps, and they're doing more mobile shopping,

the last one is SO FAKE ^^
How many Narutards turned into OPtards for OP to have 3 different spoilers in one week?
LMFaooo i agree!! :P
how can there be three different spoilers.. but now there is two. :)
But ya, i beleive none of the above.
Spoiler!i hope this spoiler is a real one:
Cover is Shanks and Luffy.
There is a memorial for the casualties of the war.
Two weeks pass.
Luffy is slowly recovering.
Something about Crocodile, he is helping somebody?
Shanks talks, he says that the Whitebeard pirates have inherited Whitebeard's will. He gives them the bodies of Ace and Whitebeard. It's a bit hazy, but it seems that the Whitebeard pirates are going to protect the islands that Whitebeard did?
Doflamingo vs Moria again, Moria dies(Presumably, his screams are heard).
Iva and co go to Kamabaka with a new member. It isn't clear who.
Luffy has a flashback to when Shanks gave him the hat, and then another one about Dadan.
My translating skills aren't perfect, this is the best I could do. It seems pretty legit, since it fits the Apprentice spoiler.
I'm starting to think DoFlamingo works for Dragon.
U got a good point there. :P
Im thinking the 2nd one could be real because tigerbla just poted a more detailed version of it.
Spoiler number 2 is obviously fake, because it's clearly shown that Dadan has a man-like body.
I'll stick with Spoiler number 1.
Could be a translation mistake but im just saying that it looks a little more real now that it has 2 different spoilers saying the same thing.

Skip to comments.Congressman Wants Weiner Probe
Posted on 05/31/2011 5:26:58 PM PDT by jdfromny
Florida Republican Rep. Cliff Stearns is demanding an investigation into cybersecurity issues raised by #Weinergate, saying it is vital to "ensure our national security."
Though New York Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner remains silent on whether or not he'll be seeking an investigation into his claims that his Twitter and Facebook accounts were hacked, leading to his Twitter account's posting of a picture of a man's erect penis underneath gray boxer-briefs, Stearns told The Daily Caller that the imbroglio raises troubling questions that should be looked into by Congress.

(Excerpt) Read more at nation.foxnews.com ...
Hot Dog!
First Qbert, now you...
"Congressman Wants Weiner Probe"
Well, stop dicking around and bend over!
I thought Barney Frank wanted the weiner probe.
A "Weiner Probe"?
Whew. Sounds painful.
Couldn't happen to a more sniveling wacko socialist.
Rep. Barney Frank volunteers to participate in the Weiner probe.
How is it an imbroglio if Weiner tweetered or twitted his weiner, or someone else did, and what does an imbroglio tweet have to do with national security? Weiner should be grilled about it.
Hey, go to the link...it's their title...
Chief investigator - Ben Dover (D-'OH)
No news here. Just an awesome title.
Sometimes the jokes just write themselves.
No, Bwawney was wery, wery wimprtwant watters to atwed to.
This has got to be a godsend for all comedians. Can't wait! This little creep deserves everything he's gonna' get, unless, of course, he gets dummycrat immunity from prosecution and punishment!
Even more so if it is in a maximum security facility...
The headlines just write themselves!
"Let me make this perfectly clear, this is nothing but a right wing smear campaign. And I know about smear campaigns."
hahahahhahahahahahahah! What a headline!
The headlines just write themselves!
O'Reilly is demanding an FBI investigation. The story is getting legs.
Just the thought of "probing" Little Anthony's "weiner" has killed my appetite.
However, if we are going to probe him, we're gonna need a team of proctologists and a searchlight.
And an army of psychologists.
Sorry, but i've already had my Weiner probed by aliens.
Congressman calls for Weiner probe ?
He wants a catheter ???
There's no point in even inventing humor anymore, when the headlines write the funnies. When I was a kid, I'd get smacked for even saying it.
Stole this comment:
"They are making a Bulging Weiner out of a Vienna Sausage....this is getting ridickulous!!"
I will bring the mayo but I have no mustard in the house.
Even more so if it is in a maximum security facility...
Yeah, but . . . even with Clinton selling our vital national secrets to the communists, NOTHING was done to him. I predict that Weiner will become immune to any kind of punishment short of maybe a slap on the wiener . . . just because . . . he's a dummycrat . . .
Congressional probe of Anthony's Weiner:
Q: Hey Weiner, can you cut the mustard?
Q: Does a weiner come in a roll?
Q. Do you relish all the attention?
Q. Is it kosher?
Q. Can you give me a straight answer?
Q. Boxers or jockeys?
Q. Are we making a big deal out of nothing?
Q. Are you planning to do a reality TV show known as "Family Jewels: New York"?
Q. Can you handle all this attention?
[This hearing has been brought to you by "Ex-Lax Congress", the product that helps the American public get the crap out of the House].
Don't ever ask for it in that way again. LOL
Yes indeed. That would be the facts of Anthony's predickament.
The funny things is, there's really no other way to write that headline.
So very, very true...
This entire story is a little hard to swallow.
This headline has to be from The Onion!
Bet it was a cucumber!!
I bet a wiener probe hurts like the dickens.

STAMFORD – The 2013 mayoral election is wide open following Republican Mayor Michael Pavia's decision not to seek reelection after one term, and there's no shortage of issues for the six candidates to build their platforms on.
The South End is in the midst of a $3.5 billion redevelopment, the fire department is undergoing a contentious consolidation, rising enrollment is straining the school system and public employee benefits are choking a city budget that will likely total more than $500 million for the first time next fiscal year. In November, Stamford residents will choose the mayor who will lead the city through the next four critical years.
Six contenders – three Democrats, two Republicans and one unaffiliated candidate – are competing for Stamford's top office.
The election will reach its first major milestone this week, when the Republican and Democratic political committees vote to nominate their candidates. The endorsements will give the two chosen contenders a prime spot on the ballot and elevate their campaigns' exposure. Non-nominated candidates who do not wish to leave the race will have until Aug. 7 to gather signatures to force a Sept. 10 primary election.
The three Democrats and two Republicans vying for their party nominations are similar in many ways. They are all men, they all love Stamford, they all raised their families here and they have all held positions in government. As politicians in the early stages of their campaigns they often espouse similar messages: Improve city schools, foster job growth, keep taxes low, help senior citizens afford to stay in their homes. Together they have raised unprecedented amounts of campaign funds, totaling $741,535 as of June 30.
After the political parties have made their endorsements the election will be turned over to the public, who can vet, challenge and judge the candidates through public debates, primary elections and at the November polls. But it's the Democratic and Republican establishments that have the first vote this week.
Here's a look at five candidates they're considering:
The Democrats
The Democratic City Committee will hold a roll-call vote at 8 p.m. Wednesday at the Sheraton Hotel on East Main Street. A candidate must receive 21 votes – a majority of the committee's 40-person membership – in order to clinch the nomination, said DCC Chairman John Mallozzi. In the event of a 20-20 tie, Mallozzi will cast the tie-breaking vote.
Bill Callion
Address: West Broad Street on the West Side
Family: Married to Melvina, two adult sons and two grandchildren. Callion's daughter, Melanie, died in 2011 at age 42.
Stamford history: A Chicago native, Callion lived in Washington D.C., Cleveland and Detroit before moving to Stamford in 1979 after securing a job with IBM. "I liked it because it was a world-class city even then," he said. "It was embracing diversity and giving everybody an opportunity." Callion, if elected, would be Stamford's first black mayor.
Occupation: Retired after 30 years with IBM
Government Experience: Stamford's director of public safety, health and welfare from 2003 to 2009 under former Mayor Dannel P. Malloy. Served as chairman of the Board of Finance in the 1990s, sat on the city Economic Development Commission, Fire Commission and chaired a committee for the 1995 Charter Revision Commission.
Mayoral war chest:* $22,526
One thing that sets him apart: Promised to revive the "Mayor's Night In" monthly program started by Malloy, which allows residents to meet one-on-one with the mayor to voice their concerns and complaints. Callion, who is wearing a pedometer to track his footsteps on the campaign trial, said interacting with the community would be a major focus for his administration. "The voices of all people in this city are once again going to be very important in this city," Callion said. "Being out there, talking to them, listening to them, trying to make sure that we do things that they want us to do is going to be very important to me."
Favorite walking spot: Mill River Park and downtown Stamford
Biggest asset: He's the only mayoral candidate with experience on the 10th floor of Government Center, having served in former mayor Malloy's cabinet for six years.
Biggest challenge: With William Tong and David Martin considered the front runners for the Democratic City Committee's nomination, Callion will likely have to primary for a spot on the ballot.
David Martin
Address: Long Ridge Road in North Stamford
Family: Married to Judy, two adult daughters
Stamford history: A Missouri native, Martin met his wife while they were both living and working in Philadelphia. The couple moved to Connecticut in 1981 after finding jobs in the area. "We picked Stamford because we thought it was a wonderful community and a great place to raise a family," he said.
Occupation: Senior partner and CFO at Michael Allen Company, a growth strategy consulting firm.
Mayoral war chest:* $127,832
Government experience: Represented District 19 on the Board of Representatives for 26 years, the last eight of which as the board's president. Elected to the Board of Finance in 2011 and chairs the board's Financial Policy committee.
One thing that sets him apart: Opposition to South End developer Building & Land Technology's proposal to build a 6-acre boatyard on Magee Avenue. BLT razed Stamford's last working boatyard on a 14-acre parcel in the South End without zoning approval in 2011 and is seeking to build a 850,000-square-foot building for hedge fund Bridgewater Associates. The developer has reached a deal with the city to build a replacement boatyard at the Magee Avenue site, but the controversial proposal is subject to public hearings and Zoning Board approval. Martin said he supports bringing Bridgewater Associates to Stamford but finds the Magee Avenue parcel inadequate for a boatyard. "Either you have to find an acceptable spot for the boatyard or you have to find an alternate spot for Bridgewater," he said. "You can't give Bridgewater the best spot and the boatyard the worst. There has to be some more compromise here."
Stamford pizza joint: Nick's Pizza in Glenbrook
Biggest asset: Supporters describe him as an independent politician who won't be beholden to anyone.
Biggest challenge: He already ran for mayor, unsuccessfully, against Pavia in 2009. Have the voters already spoken?
William Tong
Address: Chestnut Hill Road in North Stamford
Family: Wife, Liz, and three young children
Stamford history: A West Hartford native, Tong grew up in Glastonbury and met his wife in law school at the University of Chicago. The couple moved to Stamford in 2000. "There's just so much to this town, and that's why we decided to put our roots down here," he said.
Occupation: Corporate attorney with the Stamford firm Finn Dixon & Herling
Mayoral war chest:* $197,161
Government experience: Served on Stamford's Personnel Commission before winning election to the state General Assembly representing District 147 in 2006. Launched a brief run for U.S. Senate last year before dropping out and endorsing the race's eventual victor, U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy.
One thing that sets him apart: Pledged to visit every neighborhood within 100 days of taking office and meet with students, teachers and administrators of every school within 20 months as part of his mission to make Stamford "one of the best cities in America for families by the year 2020." Tong estimates it will take seven years to reshape the city, indicating his vision extends beyond one term. His strategy encompasses five main objectives: rebuilding infrastructure, improving schools, bolstering public safety, supporting small businesses and making Stamford a more affordable place to live. If elected, he plans to appoint a resident & community affairs director, a cabinet-level position charged with tackling issues such as affordable housing and school improvements. "I've put forward a very clear, straight-forward vision," he said.
Favorite weekend hangout with the kids: Cove Island Park
Biggest asset: He's not afraid of a fight. Tong cites his parents' experience immigrating to the United States from China as his inspiration for entering into politics. His 2006 victory in the heavily Republican 147th District was unexpected and made him Connecticut's first Asian-American state legislator. He would be the first Asian mayor of Stamford if elected in November.
Biggest challenge: Republicans criticize Tong as being too close to Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, Stamford's former mayor who appointed Tong to the Personnel Commission and helped launch his political career.
The Republicans
The Republican Town Committee will vote on its two candidates at 6 p.m. Tuesday at the Knights of Columbus hall on Shippan Avenue. A candidate must receive 21 votes – a majority of the committee's 40-person membership – in order to clinch the nomination, said RTC Chairman Dennis Mahoney. In the event of a 20-20 tie, Mahoney will cast the tie-breaking vote.
Mike Fedele
Address: Huckleberry Hollow in North Stamford
Family: Married to Carol, three adult children and three grandchildren
Stamford history: A Minturno, Italy, native, Fedele was 3-years-old when his parents immigrated to Stamford. He has lived in the city ever since and founded his business on the West Side, where it is still headquartered. "Stamford is where I've been fortunate enough to live the American dream," Fedele said.
Occupation: Founder and Chairman of Pinnacle Group, an information technology company.
Government experience: Represented District 13 on the Board of Representatives from 1987-1991 before moving to the state General Assembly, where he served as the District 147 state representative from 1993 to 2002. Fedele gave up that seat to run for state Senate, but lost to Democrat Andrew McDonald. Served as lieutenant governor of Connecticut under former Gov. M. Jodi Rell from 2007 to 2011.
Mayoral war chest:* $176,286
One thing that sets him apart: Pledged to hold town hall teleconferences, where citizens would call in at a prearranged time to listen and relay their questions or concerns. An operator would field the questions, read them aloud and Fedele would answer. His cabinet and the police and fire chiefs would also be on the line. "This gives more accessibility, more action and the ability to address the issues particularly of individuals who can't make it to the Government Center because of their schedule or other limitations," Fedele said. "Two parents working – how do you get them to participate? Seniors may not be able to drive anymore but still have a question and want input from the mayor."
Restaurant he wishes was still open: Open Door on the West Side
Biggest asset: He's the only mayoral candidate who has served at all levels of Connecticut government – locally on the Board of Representatives, statewide in the General Assembly and executively as lieutenant governor.
Biggest challenge: Democrats criticize Fedele as being indistinguishable from outgoing Republican Mayor Michael Pavia, who has endorsed Fedele's candidacy.
Jerry Pia
Address: Blackwood Lane in North Stamford
Family: Married to Teddi, four adult children between them, seven grandchildren
Stamford history: Pia traces his Stamford roots back to the 1630s, when his mother's family immigrated to the United States from England. He went through Stamford public schools and said he has never thought of living anywhere else. "I love being in Stamford and I love being so involved," Pia said. "It's in my soul."
Occupation: Executive Director of Activities for Kids at the Glenbrook Community Center
Government experience: Served on the Board of Education, three times as its president, from 1980 to 1998. Elected again to the board in 2009 and now serves as its Fiscal Committee chairman. Represented District 7 on the Board of Representatives for eight years. Served as chairman of the Republican Town Committee from 2011-12.
Mayoral war chest:* $15,991
One thing that sets him apart: Supports ending the Board of Representatives "leadership committee" meetings. Recent Freedom of Information complaints lodged by city Rep. Sal Gabriele, R-16, and former Board of Finance Chairman Joe Tarzia revealed Stamford's mayor regularly meets in private with the Board of Representatives' eight-member leadership. The group claims the meetings are for scheduling purposes and not substantive in nature, but emails show the elected officials have discussed the reorganization of the city's fire services, mayoral appointees and clerk of the works contracts. Pia sharply criticized the private meetings in a June 28 letter to The Advocate and pledged to end the practice if elected mayor. "I would not need to wait for any ruling from the (Freedom of Information Commission) to let the public in, nor would I spend a nickel of taxpayer money defending the administration's ability to shut the public out," Pia wrote.
Stamford ice cream cone: The Scoop Café on East Main Street (his brother owns it)
Biggest asset: A longtime community activist, Pia has earned the reputation of a man "of the people," especially in his native Glenbrook.
Biggest challenge: Can his grassroots campaign overcome fellow Stamford native and Republican candidate Mike Fedele's powerful fundraising?
The Petitioner
Unaffiliated voter John Zito collected enough signatures to petition his way onto the November ballot. He is not seeking the Republican or Democratic Party's endorsement this week.
Address: Houston Terrace in the Cove, where he lives with his sister
Family: One adult daughter.
Stamford history: A city native, Zito grew up in Southfield Village on the West Side and graduated from Westhill High School in 1983. He recently moved back to town after living in Trumbull for several years. "I'm born and raised here," he said. "This is my neighborhood. I'm mostly here for the people."
Occupation: Owner, J. Zito Services LLC, a heating and chimney services company.
Government experience: None.
Mayoral war chest:* $2,761
One thing that sets him apart: Zito has proposed soliciting corporate donations to fund activities for Stamford seniors. "I see the elderly are boxed in," he said. "They need some more activities. Day trips to the museum, social events. I'd look for corporate funding because the taxpayers pay enough as it is and not enough is being shown for it."
Stamford cup of coffee: Stillwater Sandwich Shoppe
Biggest asset: As a foreigner to Stamford government, he doesn't have any political skeletons in his closet.
Biggest challenge: Getting his message out. A third-party candidate has not won the mayor's office since the city's consolidation in 1949.
*Balance on hand as of July 10, as reported on the candidates' itemized campaign finance disclosure statements.
