History
Forest River, Inc. was founded in 1996 by Peter Liegl after purchasing certain assets of Cobra Industries, where CEO Peter Liegl worked from 1985 to 1993. The company started by manufacturing tent campers, travel trailers, fifth wheels, and park models under the model lines Salem, Sierra, Sandpiper, Wildwood, Rockwood, Flagstaff, Summit, and Quailridge.

Talk:Alexander Rozhenko

Untitled
I have here that Alexander's birth year was 2359 rather than 2366. Both StarTrek.com and the Star Trek Encyclopedia contradict themselves by giving the two different years in various places. I chose 2359 because it makes more sense. For example, Alexander fought with the Klingon Defense Force in 2374. If he had been born in 2359, this would make him fifteen years old (not an out-of-the-ordinary age for serving in the military, especially in warrior cultures such as the Klingon Empire); if he had been born in 2366, this would make him eight. -Branddobbe 21:09, Mar 13, 2004 (UTC)

But the Stardate of his birth Alexander gives in New Ground places it clearly within the third season of TNG... therefore, 2366.

The relationships between stardates and calendar dates is, in a word, flexible. It is not even absolutely established that stardates always run forwards, and there is definitely not an established-in-canon system for converting stardates to calendar dates. (For that matter, although it is almost universally assumed, it is to my knowledge not actually established in canon that events occur in the order in which episodes first aired.) Hanging an argument for a character's age at a certain point on a stardate, in the absense of any on-screen connection between that particular stardate and a particular calendar date, is tenuous at best. --Jonadab

Well, that's certainly true of the original series and broadly true of all Star Trek as well. But cannot we at least allow that since the Stardate of Alexander's birth corresponds exactly to the episode Booby Trap, that they must have happened at the same time? You can split hairs all you like, but it's plain that the writers had no intention for Alexander to have been born any time but during the third season of TNG (to say nothing of the clear subtext of The Emissay that Worf and K'Ehleyr had not consumated their relationship before that point -- hence Worf's insistence on the pledge of marriage as soon as they did).

With regard to this sentence:
 * In order to try and rationalize Alexander's fast growth, some sources have suggested that he was actually born in 2359, however this is contradicted by the official biography for the character at startrek.com which gives the 2366 birthdate...

Since when is startrek.com canon? In the Star Trek universe, only what appears onscreen is canon. If his birth date was not given on screen, then it is not known for certain. --Jonadab, 2006 Mar 29.

It should also be noted that in Bloodlines the Alexander of the future says he was three years old when his mother died -- which works with neither of these dates!

 * The actor who played Alexander in "Reunion" was also the first "Quentin" in Grace Under Fire. As he was six at the time I think I assumed that was Alexander's age. Although as young as three I guess could be possible.(What would that make his birth year 2361? The three figure I guess would be 2364 as in the first season) I don't think he could've been a year old when his Mom died as he walked and talked in the episode without difficulty. Maybe Klingon kids advance faster, but he's one-quarter human so that fast seems a bit unlikely. How does this square with him as a warrior in DS9? It doesn't. I remember in one interview a writer for DS9 sheepishly admitted he forgot Worf had a son and in DS9 he could be whatever age they needed. A similar phenomenon happens in soap operas where kids age or fail to age depending on plot concerns. Usually in soaps they go from 5, when they're still "cute", to around 16(when they can legally have romantic entanglements) over night. That's kind of what happened to Alexander except it's not a soap so it's more like he went from 10(so he could be a student) to adulthood overnight.--T. Anthony 10:17, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Assessment
I have added a quality assessment rating and importance rating to this article. Feel free to change them as the article improves! Also, feel free to add more issues to the list below, and strike them out ( strike ) when they're completed. — OranL (talk) 22:52, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Notable issues

 * The lead section may need clarification for readers who are unfamiliar with the Star Trek fictional universe.
 * The article needs more sources cited (preferably in-line citations using ).

Recent addition

 * At first, Worf showed no confidence in his son, coming to his aid various times to protect him in the episode, even when his help was not wanted or warranted (which caused Alexander to lose face with his shipmates who were already shunning him for his mixed heritage and lack of traditional Klingon background having, for the most part, been raised with human cultural ideals). Worf attempted to train Alexander in hand-to-hand combat to prepare him for service, but his personal feelings got in the way and ended in a heated argument. However, during an attack by the Jem'Hadar, Alexander, though inexperienced, showed potential and usefulness and finally gained a measure of respect from not only his ship mates, but finally from his father as well who finally came to terms with the fact that his son was no longer a child. Afterwards, Alexander joined his father as a member of the House of Martok in an onboard ceremony. Alexander, leaving on good terms with his father, was soon transferred to the battle cruiser Ya'Vang. He acted as sword-bearer at his father's wedding to Jadzia Dax.

I find the tone of this too much like "story-telling" and a bit sloppy. Anyone want to clean it up or make suggestions before I go at it?Vinithehat (talk) 20:14, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

user talk
thank you for your offer to discuss AI off forum / off wikipedia .. i would love to discuss AI with anyone who has an open mind about the subject .. but your comment on my user talk page seems a bit dismissive and i wish to respond to that here (golden rule). just because researchers in AI have not developed truly AI - does not imply that they knew what they were doing for all that time. perhaps they were looking in an inappropriate area or perhaps they focused on inappropriate models or perhaps they made inappropriate assumptions. i believe when you dismiss me the way you do on my user talk page, you do not fully understand and appreciate my model which can be found at:  if you truly read and understood my model, i believe you would not be so quick to dismiss it. many years of self-critical contemplation "went into" that model. just because i am not of "the elite" does not make my statements invalid or worthless. just because i don't have a string of letters following my name - does not make my ideas childish or immature. my approach is based on the systems approach which is typically underutilized, underestimated, and misunderstood. so before you criticize my model, read it - read more about the systems approach. then - after you are fully informed - freely criticize. but your casual remark on my user page begged this response. if you delete it, i will put it back. the world should see how narrowminded you truly are. ps - there is rather new thing called canonizer.com; if you have a "stand" about a thing - like consciousness, you should state your case there. much better than debating things on user pages which no one reads...&Delta (talk) 03:21, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Artificial consciousness
Hi -- I see that you reverted a set of edits on the basis that "Too large part of the original article was deleted during the editing ...". I think you might have misperceived -- nothing at all was actually deleted. I have no strong opinion about the validity of the edits, but the editor seems to be competent, so I'm not happy to see his first edits met this way.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Tkorrovi. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Tkorrovi~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 03:22, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

His most substantial role to date was in Deterrence (1999), in which he played the main character, a vice president who must take over for a deceased President and deal with a nuclear crisis.

Pollak briefly hosted Celebrity Poker Showdown in its first season. In December 2006, he played Karl Kreutzfeld in the Sci Fi Channel miniseries The Lost Room. Through 2008, he had a recurring role as a district attorney on the television series Shark. In March 2008, Pollak played himself in the web series The Writers Room on Crackle. In 2010, he portrayed Sheriff Tom Wagner in Choose.

In January 2010, Pollak was scheduled to host Our Little Genius on FOX, but the series was pulled before it could air on television. Pollak was then seen hosting Million Dollar Money Drop for FOX at the end of 2010; the show ran for 12 episodes.

In 2014, Pollak began a recurring role as Alvin Biletnikoff on the CBS sitcom Mom. His time on the show ended with the death of his character.

In 2019, Pollak appeared in five episodes of the fourth season on Showtime's Billions, as Douglas Mason.

Directing
Pollak's directorial debut was on the horror web series Vamped Out, featured on the internet television platform Babelgum.

Podcasting
In April 2009, Pollak partnered with Jason Calacanis on a weekly Internet talk show, Kevin Pollak's Chat Show. Guests for the show include film directors Kevin Smith and Mike Binder, comedians Jimmy Pardo and Bill Burr, and actors Nia Vardalos, Illeana Douglas, Bryan Cranston, Dana Carvey, Billy West, John DiMaggio, Matthew Perry, Jon Hamm, Paul Rudd, Adam Carolla, Anthony Cumia, Jason Alexander, Seth MacFarlane, Tom Hanks, Larry David and Jason Lee.

The guest interviews are very in-depth and typically longer than an hour in duration, sometimes exceeding two hours. Common topics include the guests' childhoods, how they got into the business they are in (typically show business), how they got inspired to start certain creative endeavors, and unique experiences they have had while working. Viewers can interact via chat room during the show, and sometimes questions for the guest posed in the chat room are answered live.

The show's self-described "Paul Shaffer" is actor Samm Levine.

Recurring segments and bits on the show include:
 * "The Larry King Game", which requires the guest to do a bad Larry King impression, reveal something about oneself (in the persona of Larry King) and then go to the phones and say a funny-sounding city
 * "Tweet Five," where Pollak reads the guest five questions from a Twitter user, usually in a this-or-that style
 * "Who Tweeted", in which a host (typically Samm Levine) reads tweets from the Twitter accounts of three female celebrities (the list of actresses varies, but typically includes Demi Moore (or, more recently, Justin Bieber), Tyra Banks, and Paris Hilton) and Pollak and his guest compete against each other game-show-style to guess who authored each tweet.
 * "You're Not Buffering", in which Pollak freezes mid-statement during his interview as though the show has paused due to internet lag, but he's actually still live. He then breaks his pause and says, "You're not buffering.".

In 2012, Pollak began a new podcast called Talkin Walkin in which he spends an hour or more with a new guest in character as Christopher Walken. After three episodes, the show was rated in the top 5 of all comedy podcasts by iTunes.

He is the only person to ever go "2 for 2" (two exact matches), as a guest on the Sklar Brothers/Daniel Van Kirk podcast Dumb People Town, in the "Guess the Age" game. The feat was completed on the episode released on April 2, 2018.

In 2018, Pollak began hosting a comedy improvisation podcast called Alchemy This, on the network iHeartRadio. It features a regular cast of 5 members, Craig Cackowski, James Heaney, Chris Alvarado, Vanessa Ragland, and Joey Greer, as well as several guests.

Poker
Pollak is an avid poker player. He finished 134th out of 6,598 entrants in the 2012 World Series of Poker and won $52,718. He also hosts weekly home games with Hollywood celebrities.

Personal life
In 1995, Pollak married comedian Lucy Webb. They separated in 2005 and divorced in 2008.

Cape May County Park & Zoo

The Cape May County Park & Zoo in the Cape May Court House section of Middle Township, New Jersey, provides free year-round admission to a collection of more than 550 animals representing 250 species in 85 acre of exhibits. The zoo is located at 707 U.S. Route 9 North, in the center of Cape May County's Central Park. Together, the zoo and the park cover about 220 acre. The zoo began operation in 1978. Its principal exhibit areas are a 57 acre African Savanna, a free-flight aviary, and a reptile collection. In addition to the Zoo and Park Central, there is also Park East, Park North and Park South.

The zoo is open every day except for Christmas, weather permitting. The hours of operation are from 10:00 am until 3:30 pm in the winter and 10:00 am until 4:30 pm in the summer. Time changes occur with daylight saving time. The zoo also has a train ride and carousel. The train is trackless and can take visitors all around the zoo. The carousel has zoo animals for riding seats unlike the traditional horses on most carousels.

Cape May County Zoological Society/ZooFriends, a 501(c)3 non-profit NJ corporation, is the official Support Organization of the Cape May County Park & Zoo. Since 1986 the Society has continuously provided the private sector funding needed to develop new exhibits, improve facilities, purchase zoo equipment and make acquisitions for the animal collection. The Society makes significant contributions to conservation and endeavors to encourage the community's interest and enjoyment of the Zoo.

History
In 1942, a 40 acre area of wooded land, formerly a plantation owned by the Matthews family, was donated to Cape May County. The area later housed the 4-H fair. In 1967, the Cape May Park Commission was established to maintain the county's parks. The land originally donated in 1942 became Park Central, which increased in size eventually to 200 acre. In 1978, the Cape May County Park & Zoo was created within Park Central.

In the February 5–6, 2010 North American blizzard, the enclosure of the bald eagle habitat was destroyed by the heavy snow fall. It has since been rebuilt.

The Walter Trettin Snow Leopard Habitat was completed in 2016.

Reputation
The zoo was voted the 13th best zoo in the world and the 5th best zoo in the United States in TripAdvisor's Traveler's Choice 2015. TripAdvisor also named the zoo the 3rd best in the nation in 2012.

Conservation
The zoo is accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA), and participates in a number of its species survival programs. In particular, a Mountain Bongo Antelope from the zoo's collection was sent to the Mount Kenya World Heritage Site in 2004 to join a captive breeding population intended to reestablish a wild population in future generations.

On May 10, 2010, the Cape May County Zoo welcomed two snow leopard cubs born to parents Himani and Vijay. They are the first snow leopard cubs born at the zoo and the first cubs for mother ‘Himani’. Only eleven snow leopards were born and survived last year in the United States. The two male cubs, Kaba and Sabu are part of the Association of Zoos & Aquariums (AZA) Species Survival Plan (SSP) Program. The mission of an AZA SSP Program is to cooperatively manage specific, and typically threatened or endangered species populations within AZA-accredited Zoos and Aquariums. Kaba now resides at the Seneca Park Zoo in Rochester and Sabu is at the Brookfield Zoo in Chicago.
