Autoboyography Age Rating

[Eugene Hill]

ConfessionI stopped reading the Star Trek fiction books a long time ago. I used to devour them as a kid, but somewhere along the line, I stopped reading them, focusing my Star Trek reading on behind-the-scenes books and memoirs.

Does anyone know what is happening with the Autobiography of Spock? I thought it was supposed to be out by now and written by David A Goodman (the same author as the autobiographies of Kirk and Picard) but now appears to be September of 2021 and written by Una Mccormack?

Voyager ratings trended higher than DS9 for a brief time and then started its gradual trend down. It finally dipped below DS9 and actions were taken. Jeri Taylor moved into a consultant role, Michael Piller came in and shook up the writing staff. The Borg had a bigger role, Jeri Ryan was brought on and the numbers started trending back up. They held somewhat steady and then started trending down again as season 7 began. When Mulgrew appeared in Nemesis, the audience clapped. So that was a good sign that Voyager resonated at a certain level with fans.

Bones Brigade shows that by practicing and developing skills, teens can excel at something they love and perhaps even make a living at it. Though the skateboarding world is sometimes depicted as rebellious and irresponsible, these folks demonstrate that you can succeed without becoming corrupted. It also celebrates the benefit of teamwork.

The featured skateboarders seem to have benefited from their training and their time spent in their chosen sport. Outsiders tease them for being so clean-cut, saving their money, and not spending it on partying. Some of them talk about troubles springing from family conflicts, but most of these seem to have been overcome and/or resolved over time. Tony Hawk in particular, and his work building skate parks in troubled communities, is a stand-out.

At an impromptu skating event, a teen girl is possibly topless, though it's very blurry, very briefly, and seen from a distance. One of the main interviewees is shown to have been married and had a baby at a relatively young age, though this isn't discussed in detail.

In one sequence depicting an impromptu skating event, teens are (very briefly) glimpsed drinking beer. One of the interviewees mentions this as well. In old photos, one of the main characters is shown drinking an entire bottle of "mescal" (and eating the worm).

Parents need to know that Bones Brigade: An Autobiography is a documentary about a team of famous skateboarders directed by Stacy Peralta (who previously made the best skateboarding documentary to date: Dogtown and Z-Boys). Like that movie, this one has a wealth of old photos and home movie footage to draw from, showing teen boys training hard, developing skills, and goofing off. Language is strong in the present-day interviews, including about a dozen uses of "f--k" and a few uses of "s--t." One of the main characters is shown to have married and had a child while still relatively young (late teens/early twenties). In the older footage, a teen girl is very briefly -- and blurrily -- topless, and teens are very briefly seen drinking beer. In photos, one of the main characters drinks an entire bottle of "mescal." Teen skaters are shown occasionally wiping out and mildly injured. To stay in the loop on more movies like this, you can sign up for weekly Family Movie Night emails.

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, former Z-Boy Stacy Peralta assembled a group of young, promising skateboarders, who came to be known as the "Bones Brigade." In BONES BRIGADE: AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY, many of the original members share their memories, good and bad, for the camera. A kind of father figure to some of the more troubled boys, Peralta guided and coached them through an early era of skateboarding parks, the downfall of skateboarding, and its rise again in the late 1980s. The group also produced popular skateboarding videos. Eventually, some of the team members, notably Tony Hawk, became highly successful competitors. Today, most of these men are still following their dreams -- and still making a living.

It's hard to believe that, more than 10 years after Dogtown and Z-Boys, director Stacy Peralta would make another skateboarding documentary just as entertaining. Though it employs a standard "talking heads" format, Bones Brigade digs a little deeper into the emotional side of things, especially given that most of the interview subjects are speaking to their old mentor; they tend to open up a bit more deeply and honestly than in a typical documentary.

The movie has tons of great footage from the 1980s, clearly demonstrating the amazing skills of people like Hawk and Rodney Mullen, even to non-fans. Yet the skaters get a good, long chance to talk about their old fears and anxieties, as well as those times when their passion seemed to slip away, and it took a great effort to rediscover it. Interviews from rival skaters and celebrity fans provide a little perspective as well. This is a terrific movie, especially for teens looking for a little inspiration or guidance.

Acclaimed as the most dynamic model yet, the Range Rover Sport Autobiography adds even more power to its renowned luxury performance. An Ingenium 3.0-liter 6-cylinder twin-turbocharged petrol PHEV hybrid boosts its exhilarating statistics: its 8-speed automatic transmission, 510HP, and 700Nm of torque accelerates the car from 0-60mph in 5.3-seconds and up to a maximum of 150 mph (242 km/h). Its power is effortless, gliding past others on motorways and powering along uphill climbs in Snowdonia with just a tap on the throttle. The Autobiography badge is truly a mark of distinction.

The same dynamic luxury continues in the interior of the car. Sculpted seats are equipped with massage and heating features, both nice perks in windy, wet North Wales. The cockpit is widened by the full-width console, only disrupted in the center by a curved touchscreen that slopes towards the passengers. Sustainable, lightweight fabrics in Light Cloud and Ebony options line the console and doors, creating a two-tone contrast with the natural black veneer dashboard and screens.

Moving towards the back seats, the cabin opens up with a near-full-length skylight, flooding the interior with natural light and giving all passengers a deep connection to the outdoors. The powerful Meridian Sound System pushes the signature sound around the cabin, said to be the most powerful system ever fitted to a Range Rover Sport. 29 speakers, a subwoofer and 1,430W of amplifier power creates a curated cocoon of entertainment for passengers that is only disrupted by the exhaust in the dynamic driving mode. Further rearwards, the loadspace in the boot hits the utility criteria at the plentiful 647-liter number.

Proved in North Wales, the Range Rover Sport Autobiography joyously and luxuriously rebalances sportiness and utility. From its spacious loadspace to its refined exterior design and interior comforts, the SUV never forgets its exhilarating driving experience first of all.

Autobiography is the debut studio album by American singer-songwriter Ashlee Simpson. Released in the United States by Geffen Records on July 20, 2004, the album debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 and was certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Musically, it combines elements of rock and pop. Critical reception for the album by critics was mixed. Autobiography has sold more than five million copies worldwide.

The album incorporates rock as well as pop elements, which contrasts with the heavily pop-oriented music of sister, Jessica. One reviewer noted that, unlike Jessica's music, Autobiography "relies on glitzy guitars and big power-pop riffs".[9] On her reality show, Simpson emphasized that she did not want to make her music like pop singers such as her sister or Hilary Duff; instead, she has cited musicians such as Chrissie Hynde and Joan Jett as influences.

In a 2004 interview, Simpson said that when she began seeking a recording contract record labels would not meet with her because they thought she just wanted "to be like her sister". Simpson also said that she did not want to meet with Jessica's record label (Columbia) because she wanted to be signed because of her music, rather than her sister.[10] She eventually signed with Geffen in 2003. As for her role as co-writer of the songs, Simpson has said that she had a lot of input lyrically: "...I come up with the whole concept of the song. To me, writing is a very important thing. It's what I've always done and what I've always loved to do, and it was a big part of my wanting to do a record. So my label was amazing because they really let me have my hands in there. I got to write a lot."[6] Simpson said of making the album: "It's a lot of work. From finding the right label to the actual recording, it took about nine months, then it was followed by the publicity work."[11] In an extensive list of thank-yous in the album's liner notes, Simpson includes Benji and Joel Madden of the band Good Charlotte, with whom she worked on the song "Harder Everyday", which was released as an international bonus track.[12]

The title track, which was also the theme song to her MTV reality series The Ashlee Simpson Show, opens the album by introducing Simpson, who sings "got stains on my t-shirt, and I'm the biggest flirt" and "if you want my auto, want my autobiography / baby, just ask me". The Village Voice review described the song as "wrist-pumping Joan Jett rock candy",[13] but Stylus labelled the track "an age-old trope and a boring one at that". "Pieces of Me", a song about the comfort and happiness Simpson found in her relationship with Ryan Cabrera,[6] has been characterised as a soft rock ballad with "stringy guitar riffs".[14] "Shadow", described by People magazine as the "most personal song" on the album,[15] is a slower tune in which Simpson recounts playing a lesser role to her sister when she was younger, but eventually finding her own identity.[6]
