Advice on autism and teens from an adult on the autism spectrum
Lisa Jo Rudy
School is a tough place for teens with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). In junior and senior high school, conformity is valued. But for people with autism, social conformity is extraordinarily difficult to achieve. Junior and senior high school also require tremendous flexibility, as students move from space to space, subject to subject, teacher to teacher. Since people with autism tend to prefer consistency to change, this, too, can be difficult to manage.
Robyn Steward is a young adult with Asperger syndrome. She lives in London, and is a trainer and mentor working with teens and parents who are coping with autism spectrum disorders. Robyn's experience may be both helpful and inspiring to parents and to teens with Asperger syndrome.
Here's how Robyn describes her own teen and young adult experiences:
I was essentially asked politely to leave school, because I spent so much time out of classes since I refused to be called names by the other children. I had no real friends at school apart from the IT teacher and no friends at home. I just assumed I'd never have friends or get anywhere because I felt that was what the teachers were saying. and because I got bad grades and struggled being organized.
But when I went to college things changed. Suddenly I did get good grades. I made friends and became organized. I'm almost 22 and still don't fit in, but I have my own place in the world.
I believe that everyone can find their own place and they may do that aged 12 or aged 99. The best thing you can do is be there for them, because they will have to find their own path, because only one path is "them-shaped," just as only one path is "Robyn-shaped" and nothing can change that.
Parents raising a teen with Asperger syndrome may have a tough time helping their child find that "them-shaped" path. Here's Robyn's advice:
At school, most teens want to fit in, but sometimes they just don't. I was one of those teens, now I've found my feet in London (UK) as a trainer and mentor. I train people who work with those with an ASD (autism spectrum disorder) and I also mentor young people with ASD's. So I come into contact with a lot of people, not just those with ASDs but their families, teachers and supporters. Most of the young people I work with have a common problem: they are "them-shaped" and that often means they don't fit in anywhere at school.
It can be easy to say this will be better when you're older but this doesn't solve the immediate problem.
One of my mentees said to me recently, "I'm almost normal now," and this is very sad indeed, because you cannot become "unautistic." You can change behaviors, but unless you actually do someone harm, such change can sometimes be a bad thing.
Of course, I'm not saying that a behavior like smearing excrement on the walls could possibly be a good thing; that's one behavior that clearly.
Aspergers And Imagination
500. 500: true);" src="http://www.autismsupportnetwork.com/sites/default/files/images/rudy-simone.jpg" />
Aspergers and Imagination
Rudy Simone
It is a gross misconception that people with Aspergers have no imagination. A great number of writers, directors, artists, more inventive engineers are on the spectrum. I personally know hundreds, through the course of my work, and through the many unknown but super-talented readers and Facebook friends I have that are Aspies (people with Aspergers). Psychologists who have observed kids with AS have labeled them as unimaginative, simply because they were not playing as society expects to see children play and have subsequently misunderstood what they've observed. I am not a clinician, but I can give you examples from my own life that refute this belief, and I know from talking to others that many Aspergians with vivid imaginations have shared this type of experience.
I didn't like dolls very much when I was little. They were big, awkward, and lacked realistic body parts. They didn't move, they didn't speak, or if they did, speech was limited. I much preferred Barbies, if they were the more modern rubbery kind. (The early ones were hard plastic.) But most of all, I liked making up stories. In my mind, I could create vast epic films that were three dimensional, had real characters that I could control, but that took on a life of their own. I could fly, gallop on horseback, perform magic spells, whatever I wanted. In my childhood,
I starred in more movies than Anjelina Jolie. and most nights couldn't wait to climb into bed so I could lie in the dark and do this undistracted by other people and their chatter, which to me often sounded like it was about nothing. (And still does, truth be told). This was from the earliest age I can remember, and before I was able to speak.
Coloring between the lines of a coloring book is pretty banal in comparison, don't you think? If I'd had the money and the connections, or supportive parents and teachers, perhaps I'd have become a Spielberg of sorts, but my creativity was thwarted.

By Thomas Heath, The Washington Post
Advertising executive Karen Zuckerman has assembled a small army of college women across the country to spread the word about her ambitious Rockville, Md.-based dorm-decorating company.
Aptly called Dormify, the start-up -- funded with $2 million from a dozen investors and Zuckerman herself -- is going head to head with big brands like Pottery Barn, Target and Bed Bath & Beyond as it tries to capture a slice of the collegiate-spending market.
Dormify sells stuff online, such as vinyl wall decals that make you believe a chandelier is hanging from the ceiling. The biggest chunk of its business is bedding, which includes sheets, duvets and decorative pillows under girly names like "California Girl" and "City Chic."
What interests me about the business are the 300 style advisers positioned across 150 colleges. The goal is to create a national network of Dormify ambassadors who will spread the brand through blog posts, photos and updates on social-media sites such as Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram. Typical topics run the gamut from basic decorating tips to how to get into a sorority.
"If people like our content, then they are going to be interested in our products," Zuckerman said. "We try to touch on content that all college girls are interested in."
Zuckerman is betting she can blow out the Dormify student brigade into a national distribution channel that not only sells dorm stuff but one day helps young women and couples outfit their apartments after graduation -- and maybe even decorate their first homes.
In return for volunteering -- style advisers don't get paid, but they can receive a commission from sales -- Zuckerman's employees learn to become young businesswomen. They learn how to communicate verbally and in writing. They make contacts. They learn how to market themselves on the Internet.
"We teach them what to do, how to be better social-media writers, how to pitch us stories, how to come up with ideas," said Zuckerman, 49, who with her husband has built a highly successful Rockville, Md.,-based integrated advertising firm called HZDG, which also has offices in New York.
Becoming a Dormify style adviser is no layup. Each one is interviewed and tested for writing skills, initiative, creativity, design and the ability to recruit other style advisers.
Each of the 300 style advisers sends two blog pitches a month to Dormify. The pitches are evaluated by a Dormify employee whose job is to work with the advisers full time. Out of 600 pitches per month, about 60 -- or two a day -- make it onto the Dormify website. Some blogs make it onto national media websites such as USA Today College and Seventeen magazine.
"It's competitive," said Jorie Walton, 21, a rising senior at Indiana University who hopes the internship propels her to a job after graduation. "It's opened a lot of doors."
Zuckerman sells the adviser program as professional development, although the women can earn money by hosting home or campus trunk shows for Dormify products. Each adviser also has her own code, which allows her to get credit when she spurs someone to buy a Dormify product.
All of this began in summer of 2009, when Zuckerman and her daughter, Amanda, were shopping for dorm-room decorations before Amanda's freshman year at Washington University in St. Louis.
As they went from store to store in their search for dorm chic, Amanda turned to her mother and said, "What if we created our own line of fashionable dorm decor ourselves?"
If only I had that gene.
Zuckerman suggested Amanda start a blog at school focused on decorating dorms and the challenges students face.
"I told her to do what she was interested in," Zuckerman said.
Mom then went to work on the business side. She did her research, which told her that college students and families spend an average of $907.22 on dorm decoration, which comes to $5.4 billion annually.
"My 25 years in design and marketing allowed me to be able to do this," said Zuckerman, who is chief creative officer of her firm. "I have a vast amount of knowledge producing anything. We figured it out."
She wrote a business plan. Built a marketing strategy. Used her creative staff at HZDG to put together brand ideas. She invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in a blog, a website, and designing and manufacturing a product line. She found a company in Boston to create posters that looked like bicycles, lampposts, big flowers that give rooms a sense of style. She launched the company on three product lines: posters, wall decals and bedding.
Dormify has a licensing agreement with 15 national sororities, which allows the company to produce apparel and accessories in the sororities' names.
In its first month of operation, July 2011, Dormify brought in $6,500. A year later, it had increased its revenue to 10 times that amount. The company is expecting to earn $200,000 this month alone and break even for the year, with around $1 million in revenue.
Dormify calls itself a "social commerce company" and rents warehouse space in Reading, Pa., where its products are packaged and mailed to customers.
Zuckerman estimates the company has sold to customers at more than 300 colleges.
Nearly all of Dormify's customers are young women and their mothers, although this week it is launching a new line of "performance sheets" for men's beds.
Dormify offers free consultation online and has an average sale of $125 per customer. Zuckerman said students can decorate a dorm room for about $500. A set of sheets, a duvet and pillows start around $150.
As the going-back-to-school days approach, Dormify has opened a pop-up stand in downtown Bethesda, Md. Next year, it plans to have pop-ups in major shopping areas around the country.

Bill Murray Will Say B.O.O.
Octavia Spencer and Jennifer Coolidge also aboard
Though it already boasts the tonsil talents of Seth Rogen and Melissa McCarthy, two people proven to be thoroughly funny, DreamWorks Animation isnt stopping there with regards to B.O.O.: Bureau Of Otherworldly Operations. The company has announced via Twitter that Bill Murray, Octavia Spencer and Jennifer Coolidge are now among the cast.
Billed as a supernatural action comedy, the new film finds a pair of bumbling ghosts (Rogen and McCarthy) who join the Bureau and do their best to take down evil spirits. A real threat emerges when they must tackle the Most Wanted Haunter.
Murray is set to play a villainous spirit called Addison Drake, while Spencer is the no-nonsense Captain Book and Coolidge is ditzy transitions-relations officer Carol Sue. They join an ensemble that also includes Rashida Jones and Matt Bomer.
Tony Leonidis is directing from a script by Tom Wheeler. Bill Murray is the perfect actor to bring this character to life or should I say after-life? says Leondis in the official statement. Along with Jennifer and Octavia, this is a dream cast. I cant imagine a team more capable of packing a funnier punch to this broadly comedic ghost story. We can but hope they all deliver.
B.O.O. is set to haunt our cinemas on July 17, 2015. The big question now will Bill Murray have to bust himself? And will it make him feel good?

Robert Rodriguez Launching From Dusk Till Dawn TV Series
Don Johnson & D.J. Cotrona are among the cast
One day, it seems, every Robert Rodriguez film will eventually become a TV series. While El Mariachi: The Series is proceeding without his involvement, Rodriguez is very much a part of bringing From Dusk Till Dawn to the box via his El Rey network in the US.
The show is planned as a 10-episode serialized drama (at least to begin with), and is firmly based on the movie, albeit without George Clooney and Quentin Tarantino in the lead roles. Were promised a supernatural crime saga focused on bank robber, Seth Gecko (D.J. Cotrona) and his violent, unpredictable brother, Richard Richie Gecko (Zane Holtz), who are wanted by Sheriff Earl McGraw (Don Johnson, taking over the part from Michael Parks) and a new character, Texas Ranger Freddie Gonzalez (Jesse Garcia) after a bank heist left several people dead.
While on an escape route to Mexico, Seth and Richie encounter former minister Jacob Fuller and his family who they take hostage. Using the family RV to make a run for the Mexican border, chaos ensues when the group detours to a strip club that is unknowingly populated by vampires, and forces them to fight until dawn in order to get out alive. The series deepens the tone of the film, adds new characters and backstories and expands the Mesoamerican mythology behind the vampires.
"If the movies the short story, the series is the novel, says Rodriguez. "We have assembled an amazing cast and crew, and viewers can expect to be part of a wild ride when the series premieres on El Rey Network. Hes helping to kick the series off by directing the first two episodes, but Carlos Coto is serving as the shows executive producer. Miramax will be distributing the series outside the States, though not in the UK, where theres no channel on board just yet.

DOCTOR WHO: A Companions Companion Season 26
After several seasons of meh-to-cruddy writing and production, Doctor Who was finally starting to pick up some narrative and thematic traction again in Season 25. Script Editor Andrew Cartmel was focusing evermore on the Doctors mysterious past and place as the galactic chess master, which star Sylvester McCoy more than ate up. With the inclusion of companion Ace (Sophie Aldred), the series had one of its deepest secondary characters ever and one whose past and future would be explored fully in the next season. Too bad it was the shows last.

DOCTOR WHO: A Companions Companion Series 1
After another 8 years of no televised Doctor Who, but heaps and gobs of Eighth Doctor novels and Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Doctor audio plays, it came time for a return. In 2003, the shows 40th anniversary, a Flash-animated web series called Scream of the Shalka was produced. However, the thunder from this was completely stolen, because it was also announced that a proper live-action series would be returning to BBC One, headed up by Queer as Folk and Casanova creator Russell T. Davies, who had also been a long-time fan and had written for the Virgin New Adventures novel range.
Since the show had been off the air since 1989, save for that one 90-minute period in May of 1996, it was deemed pertinent by BBC Wales Commissioner of Drama Jane Tranter and producers Davies, Julie Gardner, and Phil Collinson to have an established, name actor in the lead role, since they werent sure how the larger public would react. They decided upon character actor Christopher Eccleston, who had worked with Davies before and had been the writers first choice for a role in Queer as Folk.
The companion, a formerly thankless role, really, would now be coming to the forefront, as would their family and relationships. Davies was key in turning the show into more of a character-based adventure drama than a strictly sci-fi play, the way the classic series had largely been. Aces turn in the last two seasons of the old show, as well as Dr. Grace Halloway in the TV movie, must surely have influenced Davies in the creation of Rose Tyler, a 19-year-old shopgirl from London with a flirty mom and a dumb boyfriend.
To play this part, Davies cast pop star Billie Piper, which at the time must have felt a bit like stunt casting, or at least trying to appeal to the younger audiences with a known personality. I had no idea who she was, so it didnt do anything for me but upon retrospect. It is largely through Rose that the story of the first series of the rebooted Doctor Who played out, and its much easier for the audience to side with someone they already like.
Now, whether it was always intended for Eccleston to do just one series of the show or not is debatable, but what is known is that he was not pleased with the first batch of filming, which it has to be said produced possibly the worst episodes of the series. And, its also sad that the night of the premiere in 2005 came with the announcement that the actor wouldnt return after this series.

Full DOCTOR WHO 50th Anniversary Week Schedule on BBC America
Everybodys gearing up for the 50th Anniversary of Doctor Who, which is now a scant two weeks away, but BBC America wants you to know that The Day of the Doctor wont be the only bit of Time Lord entertainment that week not by a long shot. The cable network is actually devoting just about its entire weeks worth of programming from Monday, November 18th, through Sunday, November 24th to The Doctor. That, traditionally-non-sports fans, is 7 days of Doctor Who, and a lot of it is brand new! Lets do the rundown, shall we?
Monday November 18th
A marathon of The Doctors Revisited specials from the First Doctor through the Tenth Doctor. 9:00am-9:00pm ET

The U.S. premiere of The Science of Doctor Who with Brian Cox. Not the actor Brian Cox, who will be in An Adventure in Space and Time, mind you, but Professor Brian Cox. Just think of it as Dr. Brain Cox. Hell take you through the conceptual science behind the amazing things the Doctor does. Likely he will also tell you none of it is possible in real life, but thats the fun of imagination.
Tuesday November 19th
The Ninth Doctor Marathon. 10:00am-11:00pm ET
Wednesday November 20th
The Tenth Doctor Marathon. 2:00am-11:00pm ET

The U.S. Premiere of An Adventure in Space and Time, the docudrama following the creation and shooting of Doctor Who in the early-60s through the William Hartnell days. 9:00pm ET
Saturday November 23rd
The Eleventh Doctor Marathon Part III. 1:00am-2:00pm ET
Global Simulcast of Doctor Who The Day of the Doctor. This is the big one, kiddos! The Eleventh and Tenth Doctors team up with whichever Doctor John Hurt turns out to be to do something that will tear apart the fabric of what we all thought we knew about the character weve loved for so long. Matt Smith, David Tennant, and Jenna Coleman, with Billie Piper and John Hurt. Itll be awesome, no doubt about it. Commercial free. 2:50pm ET
Encore Presentation of Doctor Who The Day of the Doctor. Not simulcast and with commercials, probably. This will have exclusive interviews with Smith and Tennant during the broadcast and will be followed by the premiere of the new fantasy program Atlantis. 7:00pm ET.
The U.S. premiere of The Graham Norton Show episode featuring both Matt Smith and David Tennant. 10:00pm ET
Sunday November 24th
The Matt Smith Countdown. The Top 11 Eleventh Doctor episodes as voted on by YOU, or at least people like you. 9:00am-8:00pm ET
Premiere of the Doctor Who: The Doctors Revisited special featuring the Eleventh Doctor. Cast, crew, and celebrity fans discuss the Eleventh Doctor and his time aboard the TARDIS, which will nearly be at an end by that time. 8:00pm-10:30pm ET
And there you have it! Literally, if you turn on BBC America that week, therell be Doctor Who stuff to watch. I hope youre excited because I sure as hell am. And be sure to use the hashtag #SaveTheDay. The Doctor said to do that.

DOCTOR WHO: A Companions Companion Series 2
Doctor Who comes back to television screens for the first time in essentially 16 years and for 13 weeks, its a hit again. Then, BOOM! The lead actor turns into a different guy at the end. Whether or not people were pleased about Christopher Eccleston leaving and David Tennant taking his place, the change forced new viewers to deal with the idea of regeneration right away. And, lucky for viewers, there was a chance to get used to this new weirdo with admittedly excellent hair in the form of a Christmas special, which would become a staple of Doctor Who since the return. Some are Christmassier than others, but few have as much to do narratively than The Christmas Invasion.

The CW Is Rebooting Tales From the Darkside
"Sleepy Hollow producers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman are teaming with author Joe Hill (Locke & Key) to resurrect the eighties TV horror anthology series Tales from the Darkside, Vulture hears.
The CW has been looking to develop a new take on the syndicated series for a while now, and with Hill, Kurtzman and Orci on board, the network has ordered a script for the project. The CW is also poised to move quickly on the project: If it likes the script, the network could air the reboot as soon as this summer. Like the original George A. Romero-created series, the new Tales episodes will be 30 minutes long, episodes will be self-contained and every minute will be designed to scare the hell out of viewers.
Mitch Galin, Heather Kadin, and Jerry Golod will also serve as exec producers on the project, with Hill writing the script. The CWs already proven it can scare up good rating in the summer with retro fare: Its new take on Whose Line Is It Anyway? was a big success. OK, Fox: Balls in your court to bring back The X-Files.

The Killing Lives: Netflix Orders Six Final Episodes
The Killing has cheated death for a second time.
Netflix has ordered six episodes of what it is calling a fourth and final limited season to wrap up the Fox TV Studios series that began on AMC in 2011.
Veena Sud is back as showrunner of the moody drama that stars Mireille Enos and Joel Kinnaman as Seattle detectives enmeshed in murder cases. The U.S. adaptation is based on the Danish skein Forbrydelsen.
Killing was canceled by AMC in 2012 after two seasons, only to be revived when Netflix teamed with the cabler in a shared-window pact. After a low-rated third season, AMC opted to ax the show again earlier this year. But Fox TV Studios, Sud and her reps at WME quietly assembled a pitch for a final half-dozen segs that was strong enough to interest Netflix, given the shows existing following. The first three seasons of the show are already available for streaming on the service.
Netflix emphasized in announcing the pickup the Killing this time around will be exclusive to its worldwide subscribers, which now number more than 40 million. As with all of its original series, Netflix will make the six segs available all at once, though a premiere date has not been specified. Production is expected to begin in February in Vancouver.
The rich, serialized storytelling in The Killing thrives on Netflix, and we believe that it is only fitting to give Sarah Linden and Stephen Holder a proper send off, said Cindy Holland, veep of original content for Netflix. We are looking forward to offering fans both existing and new a series that we know is perfectly suited for on-demand viewing.
Fox TV Studios topper David Madden said: Its a true testament to The Killing creator Veena Sud, and the stellar cast led so compellingly by Mireille Enos and Joel Kinnaman, that fans remained so passionate about the show. Were gratified that our partners at Netflix recognized this.
Mikkel Bondesen is exec producer of Killing along with Sud.

Eight Great TV Series (or Mini-Series) You Probably Havent Seen
Who needs new TV shows? In this weeks issue of the magazine, our critics show us whats in their personal collections of old culture, much of it you mightve missed. All of it is available online, somewhere. Herewith, Matt Zoller Seitz on the eight great TV series you probably havent seen and seven great single episodes (or TV movies) you can find online.
1. The Comeback (2005)
This HBO faux-reality program from Sex and the City showrunner Michael Patrick King follows washed-up sitcom actress Valerie Cherish (Lisa Kudrow) as she struggles to reignite her career. Its one of the greatest one-season wonders in TV history, as corrosively funny and honest as early Albert Brooks: Its hide-under-the-couch humor.
2. The Richard Pryor Show (1977)
You know Pryor as the foulmouthed storytelling genius of standup comedy and the mostly watered-down clown of scripted features, but you might not have experienced another facet of his talent: as a variety-show impresario who tackled race and class with a frankness never seen before (or, arguably, since).
3. The Kingdom (1994)
Of all the horror series influenced by Twin Peaks, this Danish hospital soap from Lars von Trier (Antichrist, Dogville) might be the greatest; its periodically made available via legal streaming services, but the DVD is out of print and only a few copies are available, so its worth going the extra mile to seek it out. Just dont watch it by yourself.
4. Star Blazers (19791981)
The vogue for dubbed Japanese cartoons began in the seventies with Battle of the Planets, but this epic series about a refurbished battleship setting sail across the galaxy to save an apocalypse-ravaged Earth remains the reigning masterpiece of that eraand its serialized storytelling was ahead of its time.
5. The Newsroom (19962005)
The CBCs great comedy about the intellectual and ethical compromises at a daily-news show has the same name as HBOs Aaron Sorkin lecture-fest, but its a hundred times smarter and much subtler. Its greatLarry Sanders Show great, as a matter of fact.
6. The Singing Detective (1986)
Dennis Potters musical psychodrama is about a detective (Michael Gambon) who memory-trips while bedridden by a horrendous skin disease; watch even an hour of it, and youll instantly sense that its one of the most profound creative influences on post-Sopranos TV and that Tonys sixth-season sojourn in dream-space owes it quite a debt.
7 and 8. Clone Wars (20032005) and Samurai Jack (20012004)
The worlds greatest living action filmmaker isnt Michael Bay, James Cameron, or Steven Spielberg: Its animator and illustrator Genndy Tartakovsky, who absolutely killed it with his cel-style Samurai Jack (a postapocalyptic sci-fi fantasy) and Clone Wars in the aughts. Every sequence is a marvel of bold, simple graphics, whip-crack timing, and strategic use of silence and overwhelming noise.
1. The Lathe of Heaven (1980)
PBS aired this adaptation of Ursula K. Le Guins novel about a man whose dreams come true, and its reputation has deservedly deepened with time. A touchingly young Bruce Davison plays the dreamer, George Orr; the films futuristic landscapes are mostly just newish buildings, and the score is all analog synthesizers except for the cover of With a Little Help From My Friends, used in a sequence involving a humanoid tortoise with a lightbulb for a face. Singular and striking.
2. The Last Dinosaur (1977)
This Japanese and American co-production about a big-game hunter (a pretty clearly soused Richard Boone) tracking a T-Rex at the center of the Earth sounds silly, but if you can appreciate the old-school miniature landscapes and Godzilla-style creature costumes (and you should, because theyre amazing), the net effect is strangely haunting.
3. Masters of Horror Homecoming (2005) and Cigarette Burns (2005)
This Showtime horror anthology from Stephen King buddy Mick Garris was hit-and-miss, but these two episodesa post-9/11 antiwar nightmare by Joe Dante, and a cinephiles fantasy-slash-nightmare of the ultimate find, by John Carpenterare classics ranking with the best of The Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits.
4. All in the Family Twos a Crowd (1978) and Ediths 50th Birthday Parts 1 & 2 (1977)
Incredible as it might seem now, this socially aware Norman Lear sitcom isnt the constant pop-culture presence it once was; if youve never sampled it, start with these three classic episodes. The first reveals the roots of Archie Bunkers bigotry and anger. The others put Archies wife, Edith, in a situation thats as grimly funny as it is horrifyingly tense, then deals (touchingly) with the aftermath.
5. Franks Place Pilot (1987)
Unless you were one of the maybe eight people who watched this great comedy during its brief 198788 run on CBS, you have no idea why it keeps getting mentioned on lists of the great one-season shows of all time. Plug that knowledge gap forthwith by watching the pilot, which still feels uncategorizably fresh 26 years later.
6. Hill Street Blues Trial by Fury (1982)
Ask anybody of a certain age, inside the TV industry or out, when they first realized that television could be art, and theres a good chance theyll mention this episode scripted by a young David Milch (Deadwood), in which precinct captain Furillo goes beyond the law to bring justice to
a couple of rapists and suffers a real moral price.
7. Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman Pilot (1976)
Produced by All in the Familys Norman Lear and directed by Joan Darling and Jim Drake, this star vehicle for comic actress Louise Lasser was one of the boldest series of the seventies: a laugh-track-free send-up of soap operas that was also a surprisingly probing and intense critique of capitalism. Yes, really!

DOCTOR WHO: A Companions Companion Series 5
When it was announced in 2009 that Matt Smith (then 27) would be taking over for David Tennant on Doctor Who, everybody went Who? After all, he was so young and we hadnt seen him in too much, so that seemed a fairly reasonable thing to say. Mind you, people said the same thing when a certain Tom Baker took over in 1974. The first thing we saw of Smith as the Eleventh Doctor was his comedic turn at the tail end of the otherwise atrocious The End of Time, but that wasnt enough to truly let us know anything. And with Steven Moffat taking over as head writer, we really didnt know anything of the kind of show Doctor Who was regenerating into. But we soon would.

Guinness World Record for The Day of the Doctor
After a spectacular night of global celebration for Doctor Whos 50th Anniversary, Executive Producer and Head Writer Steven Moffat was presented with the Guinness World Record for the largest ever simulcast of a TV drama, following a global campaign from BBC Worldwide that saw The Day of the Doctor broadcast in 94 countries across 6 continents.
The award was presented by to Steven ahead of his first panel appearance today at the Doctor Who Celebration, a special three-day event spanning the anniversary weekend at Londons ExCeL. Cast members Matt Smith and Jenna Coleman were also in attendance along with thousands of fans from across the world.
On receiving the award, Steven Moffat says: For years the Doctor has been stopping everyone else from conquering the world. Now, just to show off, he's gone and done it himself!
Tim Davie, CEO BBC Worldwide (the BBCs commercial arm) says: We knew we were attempting something unprecedented in broadcast history, not only because Doctor Who is a drama, unlike a live feed event such as a World Cup football match or a Royal Wedding, but because we had to deliver the episode in advance to the four corners of the world so that it could be dubbed and subtitled into 15 different languages. If there was any doubt that Doctor Who is one of the worlds biggest TV shows, this award should put that argument to rest and how fitting for it to receive such an accolade in its 50th year.
Guinness World Records Editor-in-Chief, Craig Glenday, who presented the award, added: "Who else but the time-twisting Doctor could appear in 94 countries at once?! This outstanding achievement is testament to the fact that the longest running sci-fi TV show in history is not just a well-loved UK institution but a truly global success adored by millions of people.
In addition to the TV broadcast, over 1500 cinemas worldwide, including in the UK, US, Australia, Canada, Latin America, Germany, Russia and Scandinavia, will show the episode in spectacular 3D with over half a million tickets sold.
In the run up to the 50th Anniversary, fans of the show across the world have been out in full force to be part of a global event. In Sweden and Norway where the programme has no client broadcaster, fans successfully petitioned to get their local cinemas to screen the episode. Similarly, fans in Argentina pushed a major cinema chain into showing the special simultaneously. In the US, an initial 10,000 cinema tickets sold out in 28 minutes without any marketing or advertising and in Germany, Cinemaxx, one of the largest cinema chains reported that the special had been the fastest non-movie pre-sale in their history.

Carmi Mayor David Port confirmed a new O'Reilly Auto Parts store is coming to town and "talked trash" about the delays in the city's curbside trash pick up service in recent weeks.
Carmi Mayor David Port confirmed a new O'Reilly Auto Parts store is coming to town and "talked trash" about the delays in the city's curbside trash pick up service in recent weeks.
Port was asked by The Times at Monday evening's regular Carmi City Council meeting if he knew what was going to be put in front of the Wal-Mart store on the city's west side. The Times had noted a real estate "sold" sign on the vacant parcel of ground that was now occupied by the sign.
The mayor balked, saying he wasn't sure if the company wanted to disclose their intentions at this time. Someone in the crowd responded he had heard it was an O'Reilly Auto Parts, and the mayor nodded his head and said, "Yes, that is what it is."
Port also said he wanted to take a moment to "talk trash" about the recent delays in the city's curbside trash pick up service and said there was an unfortunate series of events beyond anyone's control that led to many customers having a back-up of trash to be picked up.
He said both the New Year's and Christmas holidays fell on weekdays this year and, in between, we were hit with a blizzard, complicating matters. Then, when the company contracted to remove the trash went to work on the problem, one of their trucks broke down, further delaying the removal of the trash.
The mayor quipped that he had read on a social media site that a group of citizens was going to take their trash to the mayor's house and dump it in his lawn but, fortunately, that didn't happen. He added he had been assured by the company all the trash would be picked up by Tuesday evening (tonight).
The council heard a report from the city's insurance providers about what to expect as far as premiums in the coming year. The council will decide in February what plan to choose for insurance in 2013.
The city had been paying $1,042,596 in 2009 for its insurance, or about $16,575 per employee. The city switched to its current plan in 2010 and realized a savings when the premium dropped to $833,442, or about $13,250 per employee.
The rate dropped again in 2011 but rose to $892,829 in 2012. Depending on the plan the city council chooses in February, the cost could be between $886,314.09 and $911,867.55 for renewal in 2013.
The mayor also said Illinois Department of Transportation officials have approached the city about making Oak Street, and possibly Main Street, official "snow routes." A new ordinance declaring such would give authority to officials to tow vehicles parked alongside the streets that are on designated "snow routes."
Port thanked the city crews for their efforts at removing the large amount of snow that has accumulated recently. He reported Jim Renshaw has driven more than 600 miles at the wheel of a snowplow inside the city limits.
Alderman Jack Lamont said the city's compost site is closed on Saturdays until further notice, however, those wanting to use the facility can go to city hall and request to borrow a key.

Product 57/107
Pandora was founded in 1982 by Danish goldsmith Per Enevoldsen and his then wife Winnie Enevoldsen. The pair began on a small scale by importing jewellery from Thailand and selling to consumers. After a successful wholesale venture, in 1989 Enevoldsen hired in-house designers and established a manufacturing site in Thailand, where it is still located. With low production costs and an efficient supply chain, the Enevoldsens could provide affordable, hand-finished jewellery for the mass market. Pandora's collection grew to include an assortment of rings, necklaces, earrings and watches. Pandora started selling its signature bracelets in 2000 after a patent and several years of development.
The Danish private equity group Axcel bought a 60% stake in the company from the Enevoldsen family in 2008. Shares totalling DKK 9.96 billion (US$ 1.84 billion) were sold in an IPO in October 2010, one of the biggest IPOs in Europe that year, giving Pandora a market capitalisation of around DKK 27 billion. The company is publicly listed on the NASDAQ OMX Copenhagen Stock Exchange in Denmark and is a component of the OMX Copenhagen 20 index.
Pandora became the world's third-largest jewellery company in terms of sales, after Cartier and Tiffany & Co.In 2011, more than one piece of Pandora jewellery was sold every second.Shares fell nearly 80% in 2011 after a shift in focus to higher-end designs alienated core customers, but performance recovered after a return to the more affordable mass market, with the group reporting revenue of DKK 11.9 billion and net profit in excess of DKK 3 billion in 2014.

Round four of the Muscle Milk TransWorld Motocross Race Series, held at Milestone MX Park in Riverside, California, is in the history books. Once again, it was another action-filled day, with a ton of good racing in all classes. Once again, vender's row was the happening spot throughout the whole day. Etnies, Leatt-Brace, MTA, FMF Racing, and One Industries were all on hand, supplying everything from skate shoes to motor oil and goggles.
The racing action on the track was often exciting and intense, as several class rivalries have formed thus far into the six-round series. The Milestone MX staff did a great job of preparing the jump-filled course to perfection, and conditions held up exceptionally well throughout the day.
Sunday's race drew a wide range of entrants, including amateur sensation Adam Cianciarulo from Florida, and reigning All Japan National MX Champion Akira Narita. Cianciarulo decimated his competition in the mini class and set some of the fastest lap times of the day (AC's lap times aboard his Brett Mountain-tuned mini would have placed him third in the Open Pro class) on his Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki KX85, and he also chose the TWMXRS to make his competition debut aboard his Kawasaki KX125.
Narita, meanwhile, is "vacationing" in California and training for the upcoming All Japan Nationals. The factory Honda rider was accompanied by several other racers from Japan, including Yoshiki Inagaki, who is ranked third in the 250 class in Japan. Another standout in the Pro classes was KTM's Mike Sleeter, who was also on hand to support his Orange Brigade KTM amateur program riders. Needless to say, racers and spectators alike had their eyes on the track when these guys were competing.
In the Intermediate class, MSR/Shoei/EKS Brand rider Jessie Huntley and Yamaha two-stroke pilot Mitch Van De Mortel once again found each other on the track and put on a exciting race. Huntley came out with the overall with 2-1 finishes.
Overall it was another great day of racing, and we hope to see all of you again at round five and six of the Winter Cup at Competitive Edge on March 3rd and 4th. Check out the photos galleries for some of the racing action. Each gallery features a corresponding race moto…

Difference between revisions of "Esbjerg"
Revision as of 10:21, 30 May 2014
Esbjerg [3] [4] is in Jutland, Denmark.
The city of Esbjerg is Denmark's fifth largest city and has a population of 72,613 (2003). It was established around the harbour, which the state had built in 1868 as a replacement for that harbour in Altona that had previously been Denmark's most important North Sea harbour. In 1874 Esbjerg became connected by rail to Fredericia and Varde.
The town was once Denmark's biggest fishing harbour, and the harbour is still an economic driving force in the town.
Get in
By train
The train station is in the town centre and this connects you to all of Denmark and beyond.
By plane
By ferry
Getting to Esbjerg from the UK is simple. With a regular ferry from Harwich [8], you arrive in Esbjerg around midday. This service is due to end on 29 September 2014 but a new ferry company is due to restart the service in April 2015. You can get the number 5 bus, just outside the terminal from Esbjerg port to the railway station in the centre of town.
By bus
Express busses connect Esbjerg to Aalborg, Aarhus and Sønderborg as well as other towns in Denmark.
Get around
The town is centered around the harbour and shopping area (Skolegade, Kongensgade). As the town area is rather small, it is possible to get most places by walking. However, you might consider using the public bus for the more far sights as Fisheries- and Maritime Museum in Hjerting. (See Map of Esbjerg [9])
Esbjerg has some great options for shopping centered around the two main shopping streets. Kongensgade is a pedestrianized shopping street and has some 150 specialty shops and eateries. Torvegade, partly pedestrianized, is also worth a visit. The two converge right around the main square in town.
Shopping hours are on weekdays from 9-10AM. to 5:30-6:00PM. On Saturday, most shops close down at 2PM. while Sunday nearly all shops remain closed.
Esbjerg has some good options for eating out.
Skolegade is the street where most bars and clubs are located. It is in the center of the city.
Sands Restaurant is very good for Danish food.
Get out

PlayKleen, featuring FlexTek and Aquastran technologies, manufactures the premier golf specific waffled patterned microfiber towel in the industry. The FlexTek pliable cleaning technology allows the PlayKleen towel to absorb up to 300 percent of its weight in water while providing added stretch-key features necessary for better cleaning and performance. The Aquastran fibers, 1/100th the size of a human hair, produce optimal nano absorption resulting in unsurpassed feel and texture.
PlayKleen towels is acquiring the reputation as the premier high performance golf towel for the world's most skilled and demanding golfers. "PlayKleen is the best towel I have ever used. Golfers of all abilities should use this towel," said Pat Perez, PGA Tour winner. PlayKleen towels are available in four distinct styles online at playkleen.com and at leading pro-shops and resorts around the world.
Every golfer wants to hit the ball far and the natural instinct is to swing harder and faster. But trying to swing with more power causes a death grip, creating tension in the hands, wrists, arms and shoulders. The result is a less than smooth swing and, even worse, tightened muscles. Tight muscles result in slower – not faster- club head speed.
SensoGlove is a high-quality cabretta leather golf glove with a unique difference: it's the first and only golf glove with a built-in computer that constantly reads your grip pressure. Using small, highly responsive sensors, the SensoGlove provides audio and visual feedback about your exact grip pressure on the club.
You can use SensoGlove anywhere…backyard practice, on the driving range or during a practice round. With SensoGlove, you get an immediate readout of your exact grip pressure, on a scale of 1-12. Grip too tight, and a gentle audio cue warns you. SensoGlove isn't just for your driver either. Lighter grip pressure improves precision can improve your short game.
SensoGlove is available in sizes for men and women. For more information go online to sensoglove.com.
