Real Questions with Charli XCX
Listen to Charli XCX on iHeartRadio
This year has certainly been a whirlwind for Charli XCX. Between the chart-topping "Fancy" with Iggy Azalea and her hit single "Boom Clap" appearing in one of the movies of the year The Fault in Our Stars, Charli is on fire!
Charli tells iHeartRadio that "Boom Clap" as an "epic love song" and about "celebrating love." She says, "I just feel like not many songs really just like go ahead and fully celebrate love in a completely unashamedly, celebratory way. So, that's what that's about, just going for it, like enjoying being in love, feeling like you're walking on the clouds." She says she was so happy to have the song featured in The Fault in Our Stars. "I really felt like that movie is celebrating this kind of epic love tale as well. It really fits so well with the two characters in that movie's story and also, the film is really good! I cried. I saw it twice and both times I cried like a b*tch."
On working with Iggy Azalea on "Fancy," Charli says "So cool. She's just so inspirational and so talented and so real. She has a hard time sometimes I think. And I don't think she deserves it. You know, everything comes from her and she has some really genius ideas. Like the Clueless video ["Fancy"], that was 100% her idea." Charli continues, "Every show that we did, every outfit that we wore was like planned. It all came from her brain, and not like a stylist or a manager. It was her. It was what she wanted to do, and I really admire artists like that who take everything really seriously and pay attention to detail. Because I find the visual side sometimes even more interesting in music, you know. She's just great. It's cool that she had me so involved in 'Fancy.'"
Despite all of her success this year, it looks like things are only just heating up for Charli XCX. She released her album True Romance just last year, and she's already working on a new one! She tells iHeartradio, "It's gonna be out in the fall. It's a pop record but it definitely has like punk elements to it. It's raw and it's wild and it's very feminine. And yeah, it's kinda punk."
Charli is also getting ready to head out on a massive headlining North American Tour! "I'm so excited. My favorite place to perform is America." She continues, "The show is gonna be awesome, and I'm planning so many special, little things on the side as well. I wanna do like secret punk shows and stuff like that. It's gonna be cool."
Charli XCX stopped by the iHeartRadio headquarters in NYC recently, where she opened up about everything from her weird crushes like Larry David and Fred Armisted to stealing neon hairbands, and so much more.
Check out Real Questions with Charli XCX below.
Do you hate when people call you Charlotte?
Yes. Everyone calls me Charli. So the reason my parents called me Charlotte was because they wanted to call me Charli when I was older. When they did that when I was younger, I'd always be like, "Charli is a boy's name. I wanna be Charlotte. Charlotte's a princess name." And then they got into the habit of calling me Charlotte and then I was like, "Oh, Charlotte's a princess name, I wanna be a boy. I wanna be Charli," so they had to change it back. So now I'm just Charli.
Have you ever stolen anything?
I've stolen one thing but that was when I was younger. I stole a hairband and I was sh***ing my pants. It was not good. But that was a long time ago.
Where did you steal the hairband from?
A shop called New Look, which is a store in the U.K that is never gonna let me back in there now that this has publicly been announced. Or maybe they'll be like, "Hey, come and steal from us all the time!" It was like a one-time thing and I was really … My friend made me. I was maybe like 14. It was like a peer pressure situation. I felt terrible about it afterwards and they were like neon hairbands and they were gross, and I wished I'd picked something better to steal if I was only going to do it once to be honest.
When was your first kiss?
First kiss I think I was maybe 11 and it was terrible. It was with this boy called Mark who is one of my good friends now. And it was like really toothy. And I remember like he like rang my house the next day and he was like, "Oh yeah, I went to the dentist the other day before we kissed and I got like a filling." I was like, "Oh, did you?" He was like, "Yeah, did you not notice? Did you not feel that far back?" and I was like, "Gross dude. Like I'm not supposed to be feeling your fillings. You're sick."
When is the last time you got drunk on the minibar?
Like a couple of nights ago in my hotel.
What's the drink of choice from the minibar?
Vodka always [is] my go-to. I like also mixing Vodka and Champagne together, that's good, but with an extra … so like you do like Vodka, Champagne, [and] like orange and cranberry, and like a squeeze of lime. It's really good. It gets you like pretty turnt up. But then the next day you're like turned way down. But it's fun.
What were you made fun of or teased for as a kid?
I had like really really curly hair when I was younger. And people always used to tease me for that. Whenever we played Spice Girls in the playground, they always called me Scary Spice and I got really upset about it 'cause I didn't wanna be Scary. I wanted to be Baby.
Did you ever see the Spice Girls in concert?
Yes, I saw them just after Geri left, which sucked 'cause like, it was really sad but then I saw them like when they re-formed. And then I did a photoshoot for V Magazine and I was on the cover, and for the cover piece they … we got to pick who interviewed us and I picked Geri Halliwell. So I went to her house and I was like, "You left. You bailed on me.. Like I was gonna see you live and you left," and she was like, "I'm sorry." Thought that was kinda cool.
What's the most shameful thing you ever spent money on?
Well this isn't so much shameful. More it's weird I guess, but I really needed a pink bass guitar for some TV I was doing recently. And Fender was gonna give us one but the lacquer of that certain color takes like four weeks to dry, and I really needed it like right this second. So I went online and I found literally there was only one pink bass on eBay in the color I wanted. And it was the Las Vegas Hard Rock Cafe, Blink 182 signed base. So I bought that and I am not at all a Blink 182 fan, and now I have a Blink 182 signed bass. I mean I like Blink 182, like I went through a phase but I'm not, I'm not like … I didn't need to buy the signed bass. But I have it and their signature is so crap[py]. Because I think it's just like "Toooooom." So yeah, I got that which was kinda funny.
What did you buy with your first paycheck?
I think I probably bought some shoes or something like that. I think I went to like Harvey Nichols in the U.K. and I was like, "Wow! I'm gonna buy some fancy shoes." I bought like three pairs of expensive shoes and I was just like, "Aah!" And my mum was like, "Oh my God! You're gonna squander all your money. Don't do it." I was like, "No mum, I just don't have any good shoes." So she got really freaked out and now she tries to wear them all the time. I'm like, "You can't wear them. You didn't approve of me buying them!"
Did you have any jobs before you got into music?
Well, I started doing music when I was 14, so I didn't have like a proper full-time job or anything but I remember work experience ... when I was at school and I was working at a kids' nursery. Or not nursery, like they're like four or five years old. But I got fired because before lunch, before they all went into the lunch room, I got caught stealing the biscuits [cookies] from the stash. And then they fired me, they were like, "You've just been stealing the kids' snacks." So I was like, "Okay, peace. I'm going." That was it.
Who is the weirdest person you've had a crush on?
I only really have crushes on weird people. Like weird is my thing. Larry David is one. Big crush on Larry David. Like seriously crush. This guy called Bill Nighy, and it's NOT Bill Nye The Science Guy because everyone is like, "You mean Bill Nye the science guy?" I'm like, "No, it's like this British actor and he's like 50 and he's just great." And Fred Armisen. HOT. And I played on Seth Myers' show the other night and my band all met him and I didn't, and I was so bummed out. I was like, "Damn, he's such a hottie!"
Who is your girl crush?
Rose McGowan. 90s Rose McGowan mixed with 90s Mariah [Carey]. That's like, the dream.
Have you ever Facebook, Twitter or Instagram stalked a fan?
Yes. Some of my fans are like so entertaining. And there are a select few that me, my record label Neon Gold, and our friends all know and talk about and we're always on their Twitter. And we're like, "Oh my God! This is what they're doing." So like it's really weird. We're like, "Oh my God! @HELLOMTTHW is doing this," or like, @paige_xcx is doing that." I'm really fascinated by those two in particular. So yeah, I've done that.
Who would be your dream one-night-stand?
There's this dude Connan Mockasin. He's from New Zealand, he's a musician. I think he's pretty cool. All of his music is super like sleazy and sexy so I'd probably go for him for a one-night-stand.
What is the longest you've gone without taking a shower?
Maybe like four days or something, but it was a festival. It wasn't like a choice. Obviously I enjoy showering, but I think it was like when I was going to a festival as like a [festival-goer], not as like an artist. I was like doing the festival thing. I think it was Reading Festival, when it was maybe like 2009, something like that.
Have you ever knowingly broken a heart?
Yeah. I've been breaking hearts since 1992. I'm always heart-breaking, that's my style. I'm sorry boys.
Which artist would you never admit to liking, but you secretly do?
I kind of admit to liking everyone. Like, all the things that people say are guilty pleasures, I actually think are really cool. Like Britney Spears, Justin Bieber, the Spice Girls, like I actually think all of their music is genius and amazing. So I don't really have like a guilty pleasure thing. I like all the guilty pleasure s**t. That's all my favorite s**t.
Do you have any guilty pleasures that aren't music?
Yeah. Okay, "The Hills." I'm kinda obsessed with Heidi Montag. Like she is like a next level human being and I would love to pick her brain for hours. I just think she's fascinating.
Who is the most famous person you have in your phone?
I think I have Ed Sheeran's number in my phone.
Did you ever get detention in school?
Yes. I was in detention, not like loads, but there were a few occasions. And it was for like just dumb stuff. You know, like I never did anything bad, bad. Like I was just always late. And I think I remember we were in like chemistry or something and there was some incident with like a fire and books on fire, that kind of stuff, you know. And me and my friends, like we always used to skip swimming and we used to just like … we had like lockers and we used to get in our lockers and shut the door. So [we would] just hide in there until swimming was over. We got detention for that. I'm like, the worst swimmer ever.
What was your most embarrassing moment?
I was supporting Paramore on tour, and we played at Wembley Arena and I ran on stage. I was like, "Oh my God! This is epic. I'm playing at Wembley. It's such an iconic venue." I was like, "What's up I'm Charli XCX" and then I was trying to jump onto the speaker stack that was away from the stage, and I fell in the gap between the speakers on the stage, and I got stuck. And I tried to like style it out and make it into like this punk move and then my leg … I was wearing massive platforms, my shoes was just stuck and I was just like rolling around on the floor like, "Oh my God, I fell over at Wembley!" I had a huge cut up my leg. So that was pretty embarrassing.
What is your pet peeve?
I quite like personal space. You know when you're like having a conversation with someone and they're like … And then you go back and they'll [step forward]. I'm always a bit like, "Aaaaaaaah." Yeah, because it's like you think that if you move away then they take the hint. That's kind of annoying sometimes.
What's the weirdest thing you've eaten?
I have very bland taste buds if I'm honest. Like I'm a girl with very simple taste. I like pizza and I like burgers and I like Mexican food. But I remember the first time I had like proper sushi when I went to L.A for the first time when I was like 16. And I had eel and I was like, "Oh my God, what is this?!" And so I freaked out. That was like very exotic for me at that time in my life. I don't f**k with eels.
What's the most awkward fan interaction you've had?
I have this one fan who is awesome. She's like my favorite fan. She's just next level, she's super cool. But I remember one time she managed to find out where we were having like an after-show party, and my parents were there and my aunt was there. And she got pictures with all of them, and my mum was like so freaked out. My mum was like, "I don't understand." And then she was like tweeting about how I was like … she was their daughter and stuff. And my mum was like really freaked by it, and kind of like, "This isn't my child!" But she's really sweet. She's one of my favorite fans so it was cool.

Meg Ryan was honoured in Italy at the Taormina Film Festival. Man, I really don't know about those shoes. I don't understand those shoes, though I suspect you're not looking at the shoes because you're looking at something else. Fair enough. I don't understand the thing you're looking at either.

Rob Lowe's Dr Plastic
Did you watch Behind The Candelabra? I'm going to keep harassing you about this. Anyway, Rob Lowe, one of Hollywood's most well-aged faces (is this irony? I never know), played Liberace's plastic surgeon Dr Startz. Dr Startz did a lot of rich faces back then. Lowe's performance was hilarious if not sliiiiiightly extra. Full Story

I wrote last week that I prefer the Joan Rivers way of face-jacking which is that she does it and she doesn't lie about it.

Granny humps for Matt Damon
Did you see Jimmy Kimmel Sucks hosted by Matt Damon last night?

See Granny as Grace

I believe these are the first shots of Nicole Kidman on set in Monaco as Grace Kelly. If this is a wig, it's a very good one. Or did she take her extensions out? Princess Grace's title, like that of her daughter-in-law Charlene, was Her Serene Highness. And Granny Freeze certainly looks serene here. Full Story

TMZ just reported that Mariah Carey's American Idol is supposed to start auditioning in two weeks and so far she's the only judge. Yeah? What's the problem?

A tireless advocate for disclosure of the truths surrounding the events of September 11th and implementation of the recommendations of the 9/11 Commission vital to our nation's security, Ms. Eckert most recently was with a group of 9/11 and USS Cole family members who met with President Obama to discuss their concerns about the closure of the Guantanamo Bay detention facility and bringing to justice those responsible for the attacks in Yemen on October 12, 2000 and in New York, Shanksville, and the Pentagon less than a year later.
The Board, staff, and membership of Families of September 11 mourn the loss of a compassionate and tireless advocate who dedicated her life to all those affected by the 9/11 attacks as well as to preventing similar attacks in the future.

|Beth Maddox, Head Field Hockey Coach
Courtesy: Ball State Athletics
Release: 03/17/2010
Beth Maddox entered her fifth season as head coach of the Ball State University field hockey team in 2014, and was the sixth head coach in Ball State history. Under her direction, the Cardinals brought in three freshmen for the 2014 season, in addition to 17 current upperclassmen.
Maddox announced her resignation on Dec. 12, 2014 after posting a 5-11 record in the 2014 season. Bethany Han was the lone Cardinal named to All-Conference honors after the year.
Maddox and the Cardinals finished with a 6-12 mark in the 2013 season in conjunction with a 1-4 record in the Mid-American Conference. The Cardinals welcomed the first win of the season at Appalachian State in Harrisonburg, Va. with a score of 2-0. Ball State went on to claim its first home victory against Colgate thanks to the pair of goals from Tarel Teach resulting in a final score of 2-1. Ball State wrapped up the home season with an exciting 1-0 shutout win over MAC rival Ohio on senior day due to a late game goal from Biana Velez and help from Shelby Henley's 13 saves in the game.
In her first season at the helm of the program in 2010, Maddox and the Cardinals notched a 6-14 record, the squad's best since 2006. Ball State posted wins over non-conference foes Robert Morris, St. Louis, Longwood and in-state rival Indiana, as well as a pair of league victories over Miami.
Devanny Kuhn collected First Team All-MAC and two MAC Offensive Player of the Week honors, in 2010 while Gretchen Lulow tallied Second Team All-MAC accolades and Maura Sawicki collected MAC Defensive Player of the Week honors. The Cardinals also excelled in the classroom in 2010 with Kuhn and Lulow earning Academic All-MAC honors.
Maddox came to the Cardinals after completing her third season at Colgate in 2010, where she assisted Cathy Foto in all aspects of the program, including player development, practice preparation, video editing and recruiting. In addition, Maddox participated as a coach at the 2008 U.S. Field Hockey Association Futures Program.
Maddox, who also coached at individual and team camps at Old Dominion, was involved as a coach in the Virginia Beach Hockey League. Prior to her stint at Colgate, Maddox coached the Salem High School junior varsity field hockey team.
A 2005 graduate of Old Dominion, Maddox was a four-year letter winner for the field hockey team. As a midfielder, she played in 77 games, starting 66, and accumulated seven goals and two assists in her career. During Maddox's time at Old Dominion, the field hockey team made consecutive NCAA tournament appearances and won the national championship in 2000. The Lady Monarchs were also four-time Colonial Athletic Association Champions while Maddox was on the squad.
A native of Virginia Beach, Va., Maddox graduated from Old Dominion University with a degree in communications. She graduated from Salem High School in 2000 and was a National Field Hockey Coaches Association All-American.

Product Questions
It should not be particularly necessary. You may have an interest in maintaining calcium and alkalinity levels because coralline algae will consume them. Depending on the rate of growth your typical water changes may be sufficient though.
They are just different sizes for different purposes. 20oz of magnesium solution is what is dosed when you finish a gallon of calcium and alkalinity. The 1g mix of magnesium is for adjusting your magnesium levels outside of the normal two part dosing schedule (like adjusting your salt mix to make sure it matches before doing a water change for example).
Ideally you will want to dose the Alkalinity when the pH in your tank is at the lowest typically in the morning before the lights come on. After that the calcium can be dosed typically later in the day. Magnesium does not have precipitation issues and can be dosed in bulk at almost any point. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
You can add the elements by hand if needed however a dosing pump will make the process automated and much easier! The 1/2 gallon kit will last well into 1/2 year if not longer depending on the amount of corals. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
These will last forever as long as sealed well and no evaporation occurs. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
Full Details
The BRS 2 Part Calcium & Alkalinity Starter Package is the easiest way to get started with the 2 Part Solution. The Calcium, Alkalinity, and Magnesium parts each come in pre-portioned pouches that can be quickly added to the included jugs and mixed with RO/DI water. No messing around with measuring cups. This starter package will help maintain Calcium, Alkalinity, and Magnesium parameters in the tank in easy once a day doses. Your corals will be healthier and grow faster. The 2 Part Solution can be automated using peristaltic dosing pumps.
Use the BRS Reef Calculator to calculate dosage amounts. For more information on how to use the 2 Part Solution click here.
Note: The starter package differs from the total package. The starter package comes with small convenient pre-portioned pouches. The total package is bulk packed containers of the same medias.

Good product By Allen on 4/17/2016Allen would recommend this product to a friendUsing the BRS 2 part on both my tanks. The pump tops work well. I bought an extra for magnesium. The kit comes with two that most people will use for alkalinity and calcium. My only complaint is the pump nossle could point down a bit more. I regularly pump calcium or alkalinity on my fingers when I am pumping out a large dose.
Don't leave in the garage By Bryan on 3/11/2016Bryan would recommend this product to a friendVery convenient. Just add water and mix to the jug then shake. No measuring. Just don't leave the magnesium pouch in the humidity. It looks like it's sealed but mine came out soupy.

Let's face it. The Cleaver ideal of the once popular TV sitcom "Leave It to Beaver" is far from today's reality in most U.S. homes.
Mostly because of the women's movement and economic necessity, the roles and demographics of fathers who are being honored today for all that they do have undeniably evolved in recent decades.
While most married dads earn more than their wives, married moms are more likely than before to be the primary provider in the family, while fathers are spending more time caring for children and doing housework than they did five decades ago.
"It's definitely a big change in terms of who is the provider, who is the homemaker in the family these days," said Wendy Wang, a research associate at the Pew Research Center and co-author of two recent studies on parents. "The model of dad as a provider and moms as a homemaker is no longer the norm of the families ... The norm is two-income families."
Nearly 60 percent of married couples with children under the age of 18 were dual-income families in 2011, up from about 25 percent in 1960.
And among these couples, the share of marriages in which a wife's income tops her husband's was 23 percent in 2011, up from 4 percent in 1960, according to a Pew Research Center study titled "Breadwinner Moms" that was released in May.
In contrast, the share of couples in which the husband makes more than his wife dropped from 95 percent in 1960 to 75percent in 2011.
While mothers are still doing more work at home and fathers are doing more at their jobs, their roles are converging, Wang said.
"Dads are doing more in terms of taking care of the kids and doing housework; moms are doing more at work," she said.
Hugo Torres, a Monrovia-based real estate manager and Cal State L.A. graduate, takes care of his two children, ages 7 and 5, on Saturdays and up to four evenings a week while his wife works part time as an assistant manager at Dream Dinners in Pasadena.
"I look forward to it; it's challenging as all get-out but I like to get out of the house with them," Torres said, noting he enjoys taking them to museums, the L.A. County Arboretum or the beach on Saturdays. "I do everything I can so they are out there experiencing life, and I can be right there experiencing it with them."
The money that his wife, who formerly worked for a manufacturing company, makes in her current job has been helpful, particularly after the real estate industry took a hit during the recession, Torres said. The job also allows her to explore life outside her kids, which he said is important to her.
Doing more chores
While mothers spend about twice as much time with their children as fathers do, fathers have nearly tripled the time they spend or take care of their children - from 2.4 hours a week in 1965 to 7.3 hours a week in 2011, according to the Pew Research Center's "Modern Parenthood" study released in March.
Meanwhile, fathers' time spent doing household chores has more than doubled since 1965 - from an average of four hours per week to about 10 hours - while mothers' time doing housework has gone down from 32 hours per week to 18.
Historically, experts note, fathers have been engaged with their families longer than they haven't been. Before the Industrial Revolution, dads used to do a lot more with their families; their children worked alongside them and they often knew one another intimately, said Dr. Kyle Pruett, a clinical professor of child psychiatry at the Yale School of Medicine and author of "Fatherneed." That changed during the Industrial Revolution, when fathers generally spent long, exhausting days at the mills and weren't very involved in family life while mothers, who were not allowed in the mills until World War I, took over full responsibility in the fathers' absence.
Similarly, during the World Wars, many fathers were in the military and fairly absent from their families' lives. With the advent of the women's movement in the 70s, women increasingly worked outside the home and subsequently began to crave paternal help with their children. As a result, men found themselves being pulled back into the nurturing domain, Pruett said. While men today are still not doing much housework, he said, they are more engaged with their children than their fathers were with them.
However, it's now estimated that one out of three children live in homes in which the biological father is absent.
In an effort to combat the often detrimental effects of an absent father, the administrations of George W. Bush and Barack Obama have allotted hundreds of millions of dollars to develop and support fatherhood programs, which encourage fathers to not only provide for their children but to play a consistent role in their lives no matter the circumstances, said Ronald Banks, a Pasadena-based clinical psychologist and a fatherhood program consultant.
"Recent research shows that attachment is huge and fathers have the same development (effect) on a child's brain as the mother," Banks said. Those children who have it "are more empathetic, have greater self-confidence, they have more competency, they have better relationships with people."

An exhibit highlighting the works of two of the greatest contributors to medical illustration is now on display at the Dana Medical Library. "Picturing Medicine" spotlights the work of Andreas Vesalius, 16th century physician, anatomist and author. Dr. Vesalius set a new standard in anatomical illustration and is the author of On the Structure of the Human Body, one of the most influential books on human anatomy.
Also highlighted in the exhibit is the artistic work of Dr. Frank Netter (1906-1991), world-renowned medical illustrator. During his lifetime, Dr. Netter produced more than 4000 illustrations, which have been published in numerous medical books and journals.
Visit the Library to view the exhibit, browse through the print resources illustrated by Dr. Netter, or to find out about new online anatomy resources available through the Library's web site.

VICTORVILLE - The Victor Valley Union High School District has pulled itself back from the brink of financial ruin - at least for now.
School board members had been scheduled to hold an emergency meeting Friday evening in which they would declare a fiscal emergency, but reached an agreement with the Victor Valley Teachers Association hours beforehand.
"It was enough of a settlement for them to cancel the meeting," said Michele McClowry, a fiscal adviser appointed by the San Bernardino County superintendent of schools, whose office oversees the financial health of the public school districts in the county.
Victor Valley Superintendent Elvin Momon issued a news release about the meeting's cancellation Friday, shortly before 4 p.m.:
"Today, our administration was able to come to an agreement with our teachers," Momon's announcement reads in part. "Coupled with prior, similar actions by (non-teacher) employees, management, and administrators - results in critical cost-cutting measures to likely stave off state takeover. As a result, the district will implement six unpaid days for all employees during the remainder of this school year, and eight for each of the next two school years.
"Simply put, these serious and substantial reductions are a necessary step to keep our school district from being taken over by the state. The Board of Education is elected by the people of this community to help ensure that the community's voice is considered when making decisions about our local public schools. It is our moral imperative to help keep local control of our schools and ensure that our community's local voices, values and concerns will continue to be a force in our vision, action and management."
Still, Momon was blunt about the future, adding that the district still has serious financial problems that need to be addressed.
For now, the district will continue to negotiate with unions to stave off the need to declare a fiscal emergency, he added.
The six furlough days this school year and eight days in the next two fiscal years were among the provisions in the resolution of fiscal emergency that board members had been set to vote on Friday evening.
That resolution also would have capped health care and welfare benefits at the current level and reduce all paid leaves to state-mandated levels.
The tentative agreement still has to be ratified by the school board at a future meeting. Should the district not right its financial ship, the district will begin turning over control to state receivership on Feb. 15.
District offices are closed on Monday for Martin Luther King Jr. Day and on Tuesday for a previously planned furlough day.

IN THE sensational opening scene of Aaron Sorkin's The Newsroom, news anchor Will McAvoy (Jeff Daniels) spells out a convincing case for why the US isn't the greatest nation on earth.
He tells a theatre full of wide-eyed college students that the US leads the world in only three areas: defence spending; the number of incarcerated citizens per capita; and the number of adults who believe angels are real.
The thoughts of this misanthropic curmudgeon come to mind watching this popular, family-friendly fantasy drama, whose return series has been one of the unqualified hits of the American autumn TV season. Created by Lost writers Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis, it rests on the fanciful premise that Snow White, Prince Charming and a clutch of other fairytale characters escaped the Enchanted Forest for a quaint town in Maine called Storybrooke.
There they remain frozen in time, with only piecemeal and fleeting recollections of their magical pasts and ''true'' identities, their powers and imaginations stymied by the Evil Queen.
The ultimate bogeyman of American conservatives, the Evil Queen in this dimension is a government official, mayor Regina Mills. She rules her minions through spells and by removing their ability to dream.
It's through the story books that 10-year-old tearaway Henry (Jared Gilmore) reads that the mysteries of contemporary Storybrooke and the mediaeval forest - the drama plays out in each parallel setting - are unlocked.
Henry is convinced that his former adoptive mother, ballsy New York bondswoman Emma (Jennifer Morrison), is in fact the lost daughter of Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Prince Charming (Josh Dallas) who dispatched her from the forest to escape the curse of the Evil Queen (Lana Parrilla).
Safe to say that Once upon a Time probably isn't the kind of show the fictional McAvoy would watch. Indeed, there's something outright silly and childish about the whole enterprise, with its cheesy romances, cardboard cut-out baddies casting spells, fairies mourning the days when problems could be solved with a sprinkling of fairy dust, vengeful wraiths, and stormy curses raining down on the luckless prisoners of Storybrooke.
Unlike Lost, one of the problems with Once upon a Time is that the storylines are simply not exciting or involving enough. Invariably, just as events in one setting build some kind of momentum, we are whisked away to the alternative world.
It doesn't help that the principal protagonist meant to guide the viewer through this complicated fantasy is one of the most mopish and charmless child characters to have qualified for such a role.
With the notable exception of Robert Carlyle - who plays the menacing yet doleful antique-shop owner Mr Gold in the contemporary world and the filthy, degenerate and dentally challenged Rumpelstiltskin in the other - the actors take their roles with a degree of seriousness that is neither warranted nor needed.
The new series makes a promising start, though, when a mysterious man (played by Michael Raymond-James - True Blood, The Walking Dead) whom we haven't met before, returns to his modest Manhattan apartment, where a carrier pigeon delivers a postcard from Storybrooke with the word ''Broken'' written cryptically on the back. We soon learn that though much of Storybrooke has been destroyed, the curse has indeed been broken. Who is this man, and who sent the card?
But as the mob prepares to destroy Regina for her part in their misery, the cooler and wiser heads of Henry and Charming prevail.
Meanwhile, in the forest, Princess Aurora (Sarah Bolger) is awoken from her sleep by her betrothed Prince Phillip (Julian Morris) and his guide Mulan (Jamie Chung).
The scorched pocket of the fairytale world that these new characters inhabit has escaped the curse and before the episode is out, they are joined by two other characters from the real world.
Well, real to some, anyway.

A Chiefland woman was involved in a fatal head-on collision Saturday afternoon, in which a 14-year-old boy died, according to Florida Highway Patrol Cpl. J.T. Clark.
Joyce McCraney, 63, was driving a 2003 Ford F-150 pickup west on State Road 26 when Herbert Brown, 63, of Old Town was eastbound on SR 26 at about 1:40 p.m. as he drove a 1991 Buick.
Brown entered the westbound lane to go around a car that had stopped in the highway's eastbound lane, Clark said, as the stopped vehicle was attempting to turn left onto T.L. Johnson Boulevard.

Ive just ordered one from ebay
I pray to god it's the rev B one :'(
The forum doesn't seem to clear on this so i hope this helps....
The HWU8DD Rev.B based on the zydas1211b chipset works out the box on BT3F/BT3B. Monitor,managed,injection all fine. it appears as eth1 (on my lappy anyway, similar on yours) and although Rev.B appears on the bottom of the unit and on the XP install disc bundled in the box it does not appear on the outside of the box itself..... a good guide seems to be the boxes with the 'vista ready' sticker are the rev.B models.
I also have the older version, the plain HWU8DD, with the zydas1211 chip, could never get it to work on BT2 or BT3B. If anyone wants me to test any alternate drivers on it just give me a shout.
I'm not sure on its exact power usage but i know i can run my HWU8DD and a 100m bluetooth dongle from a unpowered hub, not many usb wifi can do that..... i know my 2 linksys ones can't.
p.s. Can someone update the wiki with this one please? After playing with it all week i've found it to be the best usb wifi 'dongle' on sale near me, its only bad point is its size means laptop bags are out the question. I did try the wiki update but i'm having a lack of brain moment.....
its late here and the horrible green/black/white of the wiki is stinging my eyes....
thanks, TT
Ive just ordered one from ebay
I pray to god it's the rev B one :'(
Dont know if this will affect you or not but my dish only goes to channel 11, I'm in the UK so can use 1-13. trying to find a way round it but been short on time recently....
As i said though the dish is excellent value, 2 of my friends now have them as well after seeing my one in action.
I'll post up a pic of my old dish that didn't work, took the dish of the top of the unit and pigtailed it to use with my pcmcia card...... waste not want not!
Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.
I ordered this:
cgi.ebay.ca/Hawking-HWU8DD-WiFi-802-11G-USB-Dish-Adapter_W0QQitemZ300200407985QQihZ020QQcategoryZ45 002QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZ p1638Q2em118Q2el1247
I can't find any info that expresses which model it is :/
I messaged them twice and their supposed 24/7 service but got no reply.
Can you see anything that I'm not seeing?
I decided to get one of these hi-gain adapters so I visited a Maplins Electronics store so I could check the revision, the only one's stocked are the revision B's. Search for 'Hawking HWU8DD' on the Maplin site. I contacted 2 stores and both had this in stock.
Someone already mentioned it, but I'll say it again, to tell if it's a revision B you need to look at the base of the device or the driver CD, it does not mention this on the box anywhere.
I have updated the wiki, I am sure you can get Rev.A to work.
I need to know the lsusb output of both Rev. A and Rev. B so that I could add them into wiki entries and possibly even the FCC ID.
I think getting Rev. A to work is a matter of getting the right firmware but I need those other information first.
The A does NOT like vista either, so at least its a bit easier to return. Does not work with vista is easier to argue at the shop than does not work with linux....
I just take my laptop to shops with me now, compatability issues worked out in seconds!
The A/B swapover seems to match roughly (2/3 months) with atheros buying zydas, could someone maybe troll a little to confirm this? zydas chipped equipment seems to have gone from zero to hero in under 2 years!
I'll grab the ID numbers off my old A base unit when i find it and post them up, still need to post my pics of pig-tailed dish...... I'll get time soon
psn a firmware issue.... my rev B only worked on channels 1-11 when new, it now covers 1-13. i didn't update anything, it just seemed to fix itself?!?! i'm in the UK so i'm allowed the higher channels btw
Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.
interesting about Rev. A. I don't have that sort of chipset but I am assuming you still could get the basics and stuff to work, and possibly without the need to use stuff like ndiswrapper. I remember reading one stage that Zydas was quite open to the linux community so there was native drivers literally available on the spot but I don't know the full history.
As for Atheros takeover? yeah that was a true story I read about it after some rumors were circulating around. Atheros bought Zydas and released atheros usb chipset named AR5007UG, that was exactly the same chipset as Zydas zd1211b which meant that if you couldn't get madwifi to work (obviously madwifi will never work with usb devices) you can use zd1211rw driver + firmware. Since then Atheros hasn't been open on the usb side and in which lacked linux support. Apart from ndiswrapper, chances of getting Atheros on usb to work on linux natively is a no-go zone. To me its more like zydas has gone hero to zero rather than the versa.

The entire list

ADNAN OKTAR: Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu is also a very urbane person. He is luminous and honest. One can see that from his hands and face; you can tell an honest person by his face. It is obvious that they are honest.
April 18th, 2013: A9 TV
ADNAN OKTAR: Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu is also very well bred. It is excellent for such a person to be leading the CHP. Deniz Baykal was the same; both are very devout. I rejoice at that aspect of theirs. Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu has much love for Islam and the Qur'an. He is also capable of understanding. He has good warmth and affection. He emphasizes democracy well. He persistently talks about democracy. The CHP is a high quality party. It is a fine party.
July 16th, 2013, Zaman
Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu said that for years our devout citizens and members of the CHP had regarded one another as ogres, that they had never found common ground and that they were only now coming to know one another and went on to say, "This problem should have been resolved years ago, and students wearing the headscarf should have gone to university."
Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu was asked a question about there being a wish to give free passes to students attending the Qur'anic courses, but that the CHP was blocking this. Kılıçdaroğlu replied; "Not at all. We are not an obstacle. We will help. That would be a good thing. Learning about the Qur'an is an excellent thing. I will tell our provincial chairman so applications can be taken."

Wonder how to introduce the subject of menstruation? What to tell your daughter about periods? How to ease her anxiety? Here's help covering the bases.
Most girls begin to menstruate when they're about 12, but periods are possible as early as age 8. That's why explaining menstruation early is so important. Menstruation, however, can be an awkward subject to talk about — especially with preteen girls, who seem to embarrass more easily than any other creatures on the planet.
So what's the best way to prepare your daughter for menstruation?
The earlier you begin talking to your daughter about the changes she can expect in her body, the better. Don't plan a single tell-all discussion. Instead, talk about the various issues — from basic hygiene to fear of the unknown — in a series of conversations. If your daughter asks questions about menstruation, answer them openly and honestly. If she's not asking questions as she approaches the preteen years, it's up to you to start talking about menstruation.
You might start by asking your daughter what she knows about puberty. Clarify any misinformation, ask if she has questions, and explain the basics. Share your experiences. Consider timing your conversations with health lessons and sex education your daughter is receiving in school. If your daughter is resistant to talking, don't give up.
Remember, your daughter needs factual information about the menstrual cycle and all the other changes that puberty brings.

(Only works for WPA/WPA2-PSK this is not from a pentest point of view but for regularly connecting to the internet/an AP)
Alright, so lets start out by explaining what the problem is. Then I shall explain the fix, this is to make sure the problem you are trying to use this fix for is the correct one, so you do not cause further damage.
This Problem was universal for me, meaning on KDE or Gnome, 32bit or 64bit, LiveCD or USB it happened to me. Which is why I thought it might happen to someone else.
I would load BT5, startx and then open Wicd Network Manager and try to connect to an AP, it would start fine for a moment, and as it started to disconnect me from all other active connections the OS would freeze/hang/stall(this also happens if you click the disconnect from all tab button on the top of the wicd network manager gui), now sometimes this may vary, it might just freeze....it might go black and freeze, it might revert to console and reboot, or any combination. However there are a few things that remain the same no matter what the outcome is. 1st you'll notice that the bar on the bottom of the GUI will freeze during the 'Disconnecting From All Active Network' stages then you'll notice an LED indicator blinking. Mine was the Caos Lock indicator light. It would then either reboot or just hang there, if it just hang there I would need to manually shut down the machine via the power button. This happened over and over and over. So finally I did some research and went around some IRC channels and found my answer.
This fix will be written in a step by step sort of way.
Ok first there are some terms you need to understand... (you should really already know these terms but if you don't here is a basic explanation. You also need some BASH/Command Line knowledge for this...if you don't understand these terms or what I'm talking about BT prooooobably isn't the right Operating System for you.)
ESSID/SSID this is the 'name' of the AP you are trying to connect to like, "Balding_Parrot's AP"
wlan0 this is most likely the name of the wireless device you'll be using to connect to the AP.
Passkey/Passphrase This is the 'password' to 'log in' to your WIFI AP. Usually it is ASCII or HEX.
(The following info is from many places over the internet that I have collected bits and pieces of info on how and just what all of the following steps mean.)
We will be using Wpa_Supplicant which is already on BT5 so you will not already need to download something, or shouldn't.
Step 1:
Open a BASH window and input the following command 'ifconfig wlan0 up' (without the ' ') this should wake up the wlan0 interface/device whatever you wish to call it.(I'm going to try to make this as least 'technical' as possible so as to try to avoid communication.) You shouldn't get any feedback info unless something is wrong.
Step 2:
On the next line you need to scan for your AP so you know your device can detect it and that it isn't a router problem using the command 'iwlist wlan0 scan'(again without the ' '). This will give you a lot of nice info including what you need, the AP's SSID/ESSID as well as if the network is employing WPA/WEP/WPA2-PSK et cetera. It might look something like this. (THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE.)
Example of iwlist wlan0 scan output:
Cell 01 - Address: 00:21:43:4E:9B:F0
ESSID:"Fake AP"
Frequency:2.432 GHz (Channel 5)
Quality=100/100? Signal level:-45 dBm? Noise level=-95 dBm
Encryption key:on
IE: WPA Version 1
Group Cipher : TKIP
Pairwise Ciphers (1) : TKIP
Authentication Suites (1) : PSK
IE: IEEE 802.11i/WPA2 Version 1
Group Cipher : TKIP
Pairwise Ciphers (1) : CCMP
Authentication Suites (1) : PSK
Bit Rates:1 Mb/s; 2 Mb/s; 5.5 Mb/s; 11 Mb/s; 22 Mb/s
6 Mb/s; 9 Mb/s; 12 Mb/s; 18 Mb/s; 24 Mb/s
36 Mb/s; 48 Mb/s; 54 Mb/s
As you can see it tells the ESSIDE and that the AP is using WPA2-PSK.
Step 3:
Next you will need to get the passphrase/passkey, to convert this to HEX from ASCII we can do the command(in a console) 'wpa_passphrase mywireless_ssid "secretpassphrase" (without the ' ' and the " ") so for example if we are using the AP above we would do...
wpa_passphrase 'Fake AP' thisisthesecretkey
It should output something like this...
ssid="Fake AP"
psk=7b271c9a7c8a9ac07d12404b87792d7d92b5957ff8dfd5 6046ced4648636515
This is the basic configuration required to get wpa working. The first line is the opening statement for the network, the second is the ssid of the base station you are wanting to connect to, the third line the passphrase, and the fourth the hex key which is required to connect.
Step 4:
Using the wpa_passphrase command, specify your actual ssid and passphrase, and redirect the output to /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf with the command wpa_passphrase 'Fake AP' "thisisthesecretkey" > /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
Step 5:
Changing the details where applicable to your own specific information. This will then create a basic /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf from the output of the wpa_passphrase command.
For example if you use the WPA2-personal protocol you will have to add a few lines in the network section(as I had to do this):
ssid="Fake AP"
psk=7b271c9a7c8a6ac07d12403a1f0792d7d92b5957ff8dfd 56481ced43ec6a6515
The information will be stored in plain text, ergo it may be wise to change permissions on the newly created /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file
Step 5:
Now do ifconfig wlan0 up once more just to be safe, then issue the following command.
wpa_supplicant -Bd -Dwext -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
Make sure to wait about 10-30 seconds before issuing the last command.
Now we need an IP Address so issue this command....
dhcp wlan0
Wait a few seconds then do ifconfig wlan0 and check to make sure you are connected and have all relevant information. If you do congratulations! You are now connected to the Wireless Access Point via WPA_Supplicant if not then go to google and use this newly gained info and whatever info you've gotten from your specific problems and strengthen your Search-Fu young grasshopper!
Thank you all and hope this at least helps even 1 person who was as frustrated and 'head banging against the wall' as I was.
PS: I am not sure what causes this problem because I've been told those with the same WiFi adapter can use Wicd without any problems at all. So it might just be my hardware, or 'great luck' but I'm hoping it helps at least one person.
