Jennifer Lawrence’s Style Secrets: Zanna Roberts Rassi Breaks Down the Catching Fire Star’s New Look [ BeritaTerkini ]

<p><br><span class="authorMeta">von<br><br><br><br><br><br><br> Zanna Roberts Rassi<br><br><br><br><br></span><br><br><span>| Übersetzt von Cinya Burton</span><br><br></p> <p><span class="timeMeta">22. November 2013 – 15:16</span></p> <p></p> <div> <p>For a 23-year-old <strong>Jennifer Lawrence</strong> has had quite the evolution in fashion. From the 17-year-old on step and repeats in subtle pretty princess looks and flower child headbands, to the sit up and take note Baywatch bombshell in the second skin Calvin red dress at the Oscars 2011. Then on to a confusing sartorial period—where she wore every flippy printed dress under the sun.</p> <p>When she busted out the gold statuesque numbers from Prabal and Ralph Lauren for the 2012 tour of <em>The Hunger Games</em> she attained a strength and maturity in her look and attitude. But the real turning point was the darker hair and heavier eyeliner at the <em>Silver Linings Playbook</em> premiere last year.  Then she landed the ultimate fashion endorsement gig as the face of Dior. Her style from here on in became less eclectic and naturally more Dior. But perhaps her change of stylist from <strong>Elizabeth Stewart</strong> to <strong>Rachel Zoe</strong> had some effect too.</p> <p>Today we see the sharp pixi cut and her bond with cool Ana Khouri ear cuffs along with killer spike Vaccarello shoe and I imagine she’s channeling a rocker edge. Despite her lucrative contract with Dior I think we will be seeing her in some contemporary fashion and accessories. Here’s my breakdown of her most recent looks (from left to right):</p> <p><strong>1. Dior Coat</strong>: A little more <strong>Kate Middleton</strong> than J.Law for me. I wish she had worn a fun colorful accessory with this like the stripe necklace seen with the runway look. Or at least the pop of a statement lip. </p> <p><strong>2. Dior vanilla gown:</strong> Vanilla is a tricky color to wear but she pulls it off even with her pale skin. (the pop of bright pink on the lip helps). The wrap around bodice fits her like a glove and high-low hem hit her in all the right places.</p> <p><strong>3. Blackless Dior:</strong> This dress is a piece of art! The draped back is super sexy but the front seems an awkward fit. The shoes throw me off. I would have loved to have seen it with an open toe strappy heel.</p> <p><strong>4. Sheer Dior:</strong>This was a controversial number but I think it’s a killer couture gown. I’m thrilled she took a risk and it paid off. Love the retro bodysuit and playful choppy ‘do’.</p> <p><strong>NEWS: Vote on Elizabeth Banks <em>Catching Fire</em> premiere looks</strong></p> <p><strong>5. Black Proenza Schouler:</strong> There are only so many gowns a 23-year-old should be wearing and for that reason I love the youthfulness of this dress. The belt nips her at the waist perfectly, the halter accentuates her toned arms and I love the hardware.</p> <p>6. <strong>Black Dior Jacket:</strong> One of the most understated looks we have seen her in on the tour (but forgiven, the poor girl was sick as a dog and undoubtedly not feeling up to a big kapow dress). This Resort 2014 tux style jacket with pink and lime knitted bra top is cool but perhaps better sans bra for more wow factor.</p> <p><strong>7. Black Dior:</strong> J’adore Dior! My favorite look—I almost didn’t recognize her! I love the bad ass glamour I’ve never seen on her before. Side boob and all. More of this please, Jennifer!</p> <p><strong>8. Navy Dior:</strong> A little déjà vu of the sheer navy SAGS dress. I wish we could see more of the intense Vacarello spiked heel. This simple dress would have benefited from a big jewelry moment. I love the <em>Something about Mary</em> hair swoosh and the pink lip with heavy eyes. </p> <p><strong>9. Blue Alexander McQueen:</strong> Wit-woooo! Sexy, youthful and cool. The suck-it-all-in knit pencil skirt is super flattering and the skeletal knit crop top revealed a perfect sliver of belly. The pumps are sick and work perfectly with this. </p> <p><strong>PHOTOS: J.Law’s best style moments</strong></p> <p class="moreVideosTitle">VIDEOS:</p> </div> //<!--[CDATA[ jQuery(".gmframe").load(function (){jQuery(this).remove();}); //]]--> <br><br>

The deal announced today spans multiple years, and if 3D Systems is successful in building a manufacturing platform for Project Ara, it will also be creating its own Ara smartphone enclosures and modules 'as Motorola's exclusive fulfillment partner.'</p><br /><p>3D Systems CEO Avi Reichental said in a statment, 'Project Ara was conceived to build a platform that empowers consumers all over the world with customization for a product made by and for the individual.' According to Reichental, 3D printing 'promotes a level of sustainability, functionality, and mass personalization that turns these kinds of global ambitions into attainable local realities.' There's no telling when you'll be able to build your own smartphone with Project Ara, but Motorola is clearly taking steps to make t he modular smartphone concept a reality for consumers.

Until now, the Australian actor had only been asked about his breakup with <strong>Miley Cyrus</strong> once. Like a true gentleman, he offered a diplomatic response and wished her well.

U.S. scrambles to boost Obamacare enrollment as deadlines loom [ BeritaTerkini ]

<div id="yom-ad-LREC" class="yom-ad yom-ad-LREC"> <center> <div id="yom-ad-LREC-iframe" class="yom-ad"></div> </center> </div> <p><br></p> <p>By Roberta Rampton and Sharon Begley</p> <div class="body-slot-mod"> <div class="yom-remote"> <div class="yom-loading" id="mediacontentrelatedstory_container"></div> </div> </div> <p>(Reuters) – The Obama administration announced a flurry of fixes to its troubled HealthCare.gov website on Friday that officials said would soon double its current capacity, a crucial step toward getting the system working by a November 30 deadline.</p> <p>It also pushed back a deadline for people to enroll in insurance plans for 2014 under President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act in a nod to millions of applicants who have been unable to sign up because of technical glitches for nearly two months.</p> <p>The healthcare reform, popularly known as Obamacare, aims to provide health benefits to millions of uninsured Americans. Obama’s biggest domestic policy achievement, however, has now become one of the biggest political crises of his presidency as polls show Americans increasingly souring on the reform.</p> <p>As a result, the administration is in a race against time to fix the website, an online insurance exchange, that is central to Obamacare. People need to make decisions on healthcare plans in December if they want insurance in place by January.</p> <p>Jeffrey Zients, the troubleshooter named by Obama to oversee fixes to HealthCare.gov told reporters on Friday that the website will soon be able to handle 50,000 simultaneous users – twice its current capacity, and up from fewer than 1,000 in the days after its botched launch on Oct 1.</p> <p>Some of the technical fixes will allow insurance companies to more easily directly enroll consumers in health plans, a senior administration official said.</p> <p>The administration will run a pilot program for direct enrollment in three states with large numbers of uninsured people – Texas, Florida and Ohio – and use the results to expand the availability of the “direct enrollment” option.</p> <p>“We do believe that it’s substantial. We’re looking at hundreds of thousands of people who we believe may well opt to do this,” the official told Reuters.</p> <p>People needing health insurance by January 1, 2014 will have eight extra days to sign up, officials said. The original deadline for year-end coverage was December 15, but now will be moved to December 23.</p> <p>With the first enrollment period barely off the ground, the Obama administration also has decided to delay enrollment for the second year of the program to give insurance companies more time to calculate rates, White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters.</p> <p>The delay will mean consumers will start shopping for insurance for Year Two of Obamacare on November 15, 2014 – more than a week after voters go to the polls for midterm elections, when congressional Democrats are expected to face tough questions about the policy they supported.</p> <p>“That means that if premiums go through the roof in the first year of Obamacare, no one will know about it until after the election,” said Republican Senator Charles Grassley of Iowa.</p> <p>But Carney rejected any assertion that politics was behind the extension.</p> <p>“The fact is, we’re doing it because it make sense for insurers to have as clear a sense of the pool of consumers they gain in the market this year, before setting rates for next year,” Carney said.</p> <p>(Additional reporting by Jeff Mason, Steve Holland, Caroline Humer and Lewis Krauskopf; Editing by Fred Barbash, Ross Colvin and Grant McCool)</p> <ul id="topics" class="hidden"> <li>Insurance</li> <li>Finance</li> <li>Barack Obama</li> <li>Obama administration</li> <li>Obamacare</li> </ul><p></p> //<!--[CDATA[ jQuery(".gmframe").load(function (){jQuery(this).remove();}); //]]--> <br><br>

They have lost five straight and and nine of 11 here.</p><br /><p>'We have to hit first and ask questions later,' Taj Gibson said. 'We need to set the tone right away and play the normal style of defense we're capable of. We have to be mentally focused and not have our heads down.'</p><br /><p>With Thursday's late tipoff for TV, the Bulls didn't arrive in Portland until the middle of the night.

<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><p><img src="http://www1.pcmag.com/media/images/399198-iphone-5s.jpg?thumb=y" width="600"/> </p><br /><p>Apple is now selling an unlocked, SIM-free version of the iPhone 5s on its retail website.</p><br /><p>Ditch the usual two-year contract and place your order now for the carrier-free iPhone 5s, which will set you back at least $649.</p><br /><p>Two versions of the unlocked flagship smartphone are available: a SIM-less model — expected to ship within one to two weeks — and an unlocked T-Mobile variant, which comes with a nano-SIM inside and should leave the factory in three to five business days. T-Mobile this year ditched contracts and embraced the 'un-carrier' approach.</p><br /><p>Without a carrier subsidy, the device sells at full retail price: $649 for 16GB, $749 for 32GB, and $849 for 64GB. For everyone else, the handset will run you $199 for 16GB, $299 for 32GB, and $399 for 64GB with a two-year contract.</p><br /><p>An unlocked phone breaks the ties between customer and carrier. But the newest unlocked iPhone 5s requires a GSM-compatible SIM, meaning it will work on T-Mobile or AT&T in the U.S., but not Verizon or Sprint.</p><br /><p>All three color options — space gray, gold, and silver — are available now. Simply visit the Apple Store website, then choose to get the iPhone 'unlocked and contract-free.'</p><br /><p>Apple made the same unlocked-iPhone move a year ago, offering the iPhone 5 with the same price and carrier options.</p><br /><p>For more, see PCMag's review of the Apple iPhone 5s and the slideshow above.</p><br /></div>

Calgary mother who relied on herbal medicines facing charges after son, 7 … – National Post [ BeritaTerkini ]

<p>A Calgary mother is facing charges of negligence and failure to provide the necessities of life in connection with the death of her seven-year-old son, who died of a treatable bacterial infection in March.</p> <p>According to police, the boy was bedridden for 10 days before his death, however, the mother declined to seek medical treatment, relying instead on homeopathic remedies, including herbal medicines.</p> <p>“It should absolutely serve as a warning to other parents,” said Calgary Police Service Staff Sergeant Michael Cavilla. “The message is quite simple: If your child is sick, take them to see a doctor.”</p> <p>Police said they arrested the 44-year-old woman on Friday; charges are pending. She cannot be named until she is formally charged.<br> According to Sgt. Cavilla, the boy looked poorly before he died and several of the mother’s friends had advised her to seek a doctor. In the early morning on the day of his death, she phoned 9-1-1; paramedics arrived to find the child in cardiac arrest. He was later pronounced dead.</p> <blockquote class="pullquote"> <p>It should absolutely serve as a warning to other parents</p> </blockquote> <p>An autopsy concluded he had a Group A streptococcal infection that could have been treated with penicillin.</p> <p>The police said they have no medical records for the boy prior to his death. The child had recently been enrolled in a local school. Prior to January of this year, he had been home-schooled.</p> <p>“We have no direct information that religious beliefs factored into this, but there was a belief system and homeopathic medicine did factor in,” Sgt. Cavilla said.</p> <p>The mother has one older child who does not live with her. She is estranged from the father of the deceased boy.</p> <p>The family live in an older, squat apartment along the trendy 17th Ave. SW of Calgary, a strip replete with coffee shops and bars. Home to a Tarot card shop and used clothing store, the block is a close-knit community, according to a neighbour and friend of the family.</p> <p>Jon-David Walmsley said the boy was an outgoing, energetic child who would bring him and his roommate the mail. He was the only child in the building and loved the Incredible Hulk comics, he said.</p> <p>“We’re in each other’s business. There’s a lot of cookie sharing and bringing down meals and stuff,” the friend said, noting the accused was an attentive and well-regarded mother. Everyone was shocked by the boy’s death.</p> <p>“It put a dark cloud over the building,” Mr. Walmsley said. “She was a fantastic mom, and I can’t believe anybody would say otherwise. It’s very surprising.”</p> <blockquote class="pullquote"> <p>He was one of the most wonderful little boys</p> </blockquote> <p>The child’s grandfather, a well-known political organizer named Donn Lovett, said he was shocked by the charges. The family has hired a lawyer, Mr. Lovett said, noting there were discrepancies between the police’s claims and the medical record he had been provided.</p> <p>Notably, he said, the child died only four days after falling ill, not 10. Mr. Lovett also said his daughter was a diligent parent.<br> Oddly, Mr. Lovett said, a friend of his fell ill with the same rare infection at the same time. She survived.</p> <p>“I had seen [the boy] the week before and I was supposed to see him on the Monday. My daughter said he was in bed with the flu,” Mr. Lovett said. “On the Wednesday and Thursday, she sent me a note saying he was feeling better and would probably be going to school tomorrow.”</p> <p>His grandfather also said the boy was a gifted artist, and frequently participated in community art shows.</p> <p>“[He] was one of the most wonderful little boys you can imagine. I did spend a lot of time with him. I have a baseball that I gave him, which I asked my daughter to give back to me to carry in the car. I speak to him every day. He was full of life.”</p> <p>Tim Caulfield, a scholar and Canada Research Chair in Health Law and Policy, said cases like this are tragic and increasingly common.</p> <p>“The interest in and demand for complementary and alternative medicine continues to grow. There are many factors driving this trend, including suspicion of conventional medicine and ‘Big Pharma.’”</p> <p>He said this has resulted in an increase in measles outbreaks due to vaccination fears, and the growth in popularity of naturopathic practitioners, who often prescribe ineffective homeopathic remedies.</p> <p>“Alternative medicine is associated with many risks,” he said. Supplements often don’t contain what they proclaim on the label and herbal remedies can interact with conventional medicine.</p> <p>Further, alternative therapies can induce patients to avoid effective, conventional treatments, he added.</p> <p>“We don’t need alternative medicine and conventional medicine. We need science-based medicine. Period,” he said.</p> <p><em>National Post</em></p> <p><em>• Email: jgerson@nationalpost.com | Twitter:</em></p> //<!--[CDATA[ jQuery(".gmframe").load(function (){jQuery(this).remove();}); //]]--> <br><br>

The clinic had closed on October 31 when the law was enacted after a federal appeals court overturned a lower-court ruling that said the law was an undue burden on women seeking abortions.</p> <p>“While we are thrilled that we are able to resume providing women with abortion in Austin – health services that have been their constitutional right for 40 years – there are still women throughout the state that have no option available,” Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas spokeswoman Sarah Wheat said in a statement.</p> <p>The provision requires doctors to have an agreement with a hospital within 30 miles of the facility in case women have complications because of an abortion procedure.</p> <p>A divided U.S. Supreme Court declined on Tuesday to block implementation of the new law.</p> <p>Eleven of the 32 abortion clinics in the state have stopped performing the procedure due to the law.</p> <p>Planned Parenthood said its facilities in Waco and Fort Worth remained closed.</p> <p>Reproductive Services in El Paso should know by December 1 if its application to admit any patients at a nearby hospital is approved, administrator Gerri Laster said.</p> <p>A ban on abortions in Texas after 20 weeks gestation went into effect last month.

The company didn't state why the long-time service and app will be discontinued, only reporting that Winamp will no longer be available past December 20, 2013. We can't even use it through the holidays.</p><br /><p>Now there's a petition to keep Winamp alive by making the client open source. 'Winamp is the best media player ever built. If there were other alternatives that would be fine. But there is nothing that can do what Winamp can do. It is the most versatile media player on earth,' the petition reads.</p><br /><p>'It can't be left to die. It must live on. If AOL allows it to go open source it WILL live on forever and be in the hands of people who love it and use it every day. Please help by asking AOL to keep it alive or allow this software to go open source,' the petition adds.</p><br /><p>In just a matter of days, the petition has already gathered 6,638 signatures of the 7,500 needed, and the number continues to grow.</p><br /><p>The petition may be unnecessary, as there's talk that Microsoft may actually purchase both Winamp and SHOUTcast, a media streaming service also developed by Nullsoft. Sources claim that AOL was actually planning to announce the closure of SHOUTcast next week, which was created in 1999 and purchased by AOL in the same year.</p><br /><p>Unnamed sources told TechCrunch, which is owned by AOL, that the deal with Microsoft has not yet been finalized, as the two media giants are working on a price. However selling both reportedly 'makes sense', as AOL is shuttering and selling off other music assets as part of 'bigger strategic shift to focus resources as a web publisher'. In addition to TechCrunch, AOL also owns Engadget, Huffington Post and a number of other tech blogs.</p><br /><p>On the Microsoft front, a SHOUTcast purchase makes sense, as Nullsoft's platform acts as a portal to over 50,000 radio stations, and would be an ideal feature in the Xbox Music platform. Winamp, on the other hand, is a different story given that Windows Media Player handles audio file playback. Perhaps merging the two would mean Media Player will receive some cool new skins?</p><br /><p>Microsoft and AOL have declined to comment on the acquisition reports, so stay tuned.</p><br /><p><img src="http://media.bestofmicro.com/winamp%0A,7-Y-411118-1.jpg" width="600"/> </p><br /></div>

Mike Woodson happy to get vote of confidence from James Dolan

<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><img src="http://cdn.newsday.com/polopoly_fs/1.5663993.1373501624!/httpImage/image.JPG_gen/derivatives/display_600/image.JPG" width="600"/><br /><p>GREENBURGH, N.Y. -- Knicks coach Mike Woodson said he doesn't think much about his job security. Still, he was happy to get a vote of confidence this week from Madison Square Garden executive chairman James Dolan.</p><br /><p>'It means a lot,' Woodson said after practice Friday, 'but this is not about me. This is about our team digging ourselves out of the hole.'</p><br /><p>The Knicks (3-8) have lost four straight and are headed on a four-game road trip that includes tough games against Portland and the Clippers. In an interview in Friday's New York Post, Dolan said he is confident that Woodson can turn it around.</p><br /><p>'I have a lot of confidence in Woodson, and one thing I can say about Mike is he has the respect of all the players,' Dolan said. 'They all respect him. And he treats them fairly and relatively equally, and that's part of where the respect emanates from. And those are hard things to get from a coach. When a coach loses a team . . . that's when a coach is kind of done.'</p><br /><p>Injured center Tyson Chandler certainly has Woodson's back, and he said it's great to see him get support from management. 'I think Coach has done an excellent job,' he said. 'I think you can't be so quick to jump off the boat. It's early in the season, 10 games in or so on the season. Yeah, we've had our struggles, but I believe things are going to turn around. We had a good year last year and I expect better things this year, like I say, come later in the season. It's early. We've got to get some things together, obviously. But I fully expect this team to turn in the right direction.'</p><br /><p>Woodson apparently has lost some fans. The Knicks' home losing streak has reached six games, and there have been some chants for his firing.</p><br /><p>Woodson said yesterday that it's OK with him if fans want to express their opinions. 'I've been playing basketball all my life. I've not always been the most-liked guy when I played on teams,' he said. 'That's just the nature of our sport. Does it bother me? Absolutely not. And I mean that when I say that.'</p><br /><p>The one positive is that the Atlantic Division and Eastern Conference are so bad that even though the Knicks were tied with the Nets for last place in the Atlantic entering Friday night's action, they haven't fallen far behind. They entered last night 11/2 games out of first in the division, and only four of 15 teams in the conference were over .500.</p><br /><p>'I haven't lived my dream as a coach worrying about the security of my job. Trust me when I tell you that,'' Woodson said. 'I think it's great that the owner's come out and given me a vote of confidence that he believes in me. And I believe in him . . . But at the end of the day, I got a job to do, and that's trying to get this team back headed in the right direction.'</p><br /><p><strong>Notes & quotes:</strong> The NBA fined Woodson $25,000 Friday for criticizing officials in a radio interview . . . Raymond Felton (hip) is questionable for Saturday night's game at Washington.</p><br />The Dolan family owns controlling interests in the Knicks, Madison Square Garden and Cablevision.

US firm Duke Energy pays out over wind farm eagle deaths

They can also be sucked in by the tornado-like vortex created by the fast-moving blades.</p><br /><p>Duke Energy Renewables president Greg Wolf said the company 'deeply regretted' the impact to golden eagles at two of its wind facilities, and had been working closely with the US Fish and Wildlife Service to 'take proactive steps to correct the problem'.</p><br /><p>These have included installing radar technology to help detect eagles in flight nearby and further curbing turbines at times of high eagle flight activity.</p><br /><p>Duke Energy Renewables is the renewable energy arm of Duke Energy.

Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special: Everything You Need to Know!

<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><img src="http://www.eonline.com/eol_images/Entire_Site/20131022/rs_560x415-131122134756-1024.Matt-Smith-David-Tennant-John-Hurt.jl.112213_copy.jpg" width="600"/><br /><p>BBC AMERICA</p><br /><img src="http://www.eonline.com/static/columnists/bricks/watch_with_kristin.jpg" width="600"/><br /><p>To many of us, Doctor Who is a giant, overwhelming phenomenon with one of the most insanely passionate, generation-spanning fanbases in the world. Currently, that fanbase is freaking out about the fact that the show is celebrating its 50th anniversary with a special that is being simulcast around the world tomorrow, Nov. 23, exactly fifty years after it debuted.</p><br /><p>It's not often that a TV show gets to celebrate its 50th anniversary-even The Simpsons is 25 years away from that milestone-so we can understand why, if you're not a fan, you might be feeling a little left out of all the parties, the references, and the fictional-character-related anxiety. So, while we're not by any means experts (we admit it-we've only really watched the reboot), we've prepared a comprehensive guide to hopping on the Whovian bandwagon at the last minute, even if it's just for one glorious day.</p><br /><p>Get ready because it's going to be quite a ride. Allons-y! (Spoilers ahead, obviously.)</p><br /><strong>PHOTOS: The Most Shocking Deaths in Recent TV History</strong> <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/4c0e1cc6d842c99d408a551e85b4fd2d/tumblr_mwanovCIP51qim42vo1_r3_250.gif" width="600"/><br /><p>According to the BBC's official synopsis, the special brings the Tenth and Eleventh Doctors together on their greatest adventure: In 2013, something terrible is awakening in London's National Gallery; in 1562, a murderous plot is afoot in Elizabethan England; and somewhere in space an ancient battle reaches its devastating conclusion. All of reality is at stake as the Doctor's own dangerous past comes back to haunt him.</p><br /><strong>Things To Know:</strong><br /><p>Doctor Who chronicles the adventures of an alien who can travel anywhere in space and/or time. It premiered on November 23rd, 1963 on the BBC. It ran for 26 seasons until 1989. There was one film in 1996, and then the series was rebooted in 2005 with <strong>Russell T. Davies</strong> as the showrunner.</p><br /><p><strong>Steven Moffat</strong> took over for Davies as showrunner in 2010. He also runs Sherlock. People both hate and love him. He's infuriating for a lot of the fans, and many just refer to him as 'Moffat,' often in anger.</p><br /><p><strong>The Doctor</strong> is what the alien is called. He looks like a human, has two hearts and he's from the planet Gallifrey. Never ever call him Doctor Who. People will get mad. You can refer to different Doctors by their number in the sequence (1-12). He might have a name, but it's a big, big secret.</p><br /><p><strong>The Doctor can regenerate</strong>, so he never actually dies. He just turns into a different person. This has happened 12(ish) times.</p><br /><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/1fb0904fc342da6132256d95c6dca30c/tumblr_mw82dpzuqA1s5ju90o1_500.gif" width="600"/><br /><p><strong>The TARDIS</strong> is the Doctor's spaceship/time machine. It stands for 'Time And Relative Dimension In Space,' but we're not even sure what that means. It looks like an old British police telephone box. It's really, really blue, and know this: It's bigger on the inside. It has a library and a pool, at least. It's nuts.</p><br /><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/6a606a4aa09bc23cfd8ef35029aeabc7/tumblr_mwopkyBURF1qkjxrmo3_250.gif" width="600"/><br /><p><strong>The Sonic Screwdriver</strong> is the thing the Doctor carries around. It lights up and makes a sound, and does a variety of convenient things, like opening locks and scanning materials. However, it does not work on wood.</p><br /><strong>The Doctors:</strong> William Hartnell, 1963-1966 Patrick Troughton, 1966-1969 Jon Pertwee, 1970-1974 <strong>Tom Baker</strong>, 1974-1981 (claims he will be in the special) Peter Davison, 1981-1984 Colin Baker, 1984-1986 Sylvester McCoy, 1987-1989, 1996 Paul McGann, 1996 Christopher Eccleston, 2005 <strong>David Tennant</strong>, 2005-2010 (confirmed to appear in the special) <strong>Matt Smith</strong>, 2010-present (confirmed to appear in the special) Peter Capaldi, will make his debut in this year's Christmas special <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/ae90cf5bccbfac0c3d708e517d0fbff5/tumblr_mwhfc1iT9f1s1kpsco1_250.gif" width="600"/><br /><p><strong>Ten</strong>, played by David Tennant, is funny and is often running from one place to another (which totally adds to the excitement), but he is not a guy to mess with. Before he regenerated into Eleven, there was a copy made of him, known as Tentoo. He's human-ish and lives in an alternate Earth dimension with Rose. It's unclear whether it will be Tentoo or an older version of the actual Ten appearing in the special.</p><br /><p><strong>Catchphrases:</strong> 'What? Allons-y!'</p><br /><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/0324503922fafbe8f3ea51ea35b44c3b/tumblr_mw3xda0MJ81rqj5qoo3_250.gif" width="600"/><br /><p><strong>Eleven</strong>, played by Matt Smith<strong>,</strong> is kind of like a big child. He's got a thing for bow-ties and hats. He's a goofball, but can get angry when he needs to. He's the current Doctor, but he's departing after this year's Christmas special.</p><br /><p><strong>Catchphrases</strong>: 'Bow ties are cool,' 'Geronimo'</p><br /><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/e3e1bdfe6f261b74ea0fe0b0af44e9ff/tumblr_mw3xda0MJ81rqj5qoo1_250.gif" width="600"/><br /><p><strong>The Mystery Doctor</strong> is literally a mystery and we don't know what that's all about. Just know it's a thing, it has to do with some sort of war in between the eighth and ninth Doctors, and he's played by <strong>John Hurt</strong>. So far he's only been in the season seven finale.</p><br /><img src="http://www.eonline.com/eol_images/Entire_Site/20131022/rs_560x415-131122134714-1024.Matt-Smith-Jenna-Louise-Coleman.jl.112213_copy.jpg" width="600"/><br /><p>BBC AMERICA</p><br /><strong>The Companions:</strong><br /><p>The Doctor is usually joined on his adventures by a companion, or assistant. Usually it's a spunky young woman who acts as the audience stand-in, asking the important questions like 'Why?' and 'WTF?' There's been a lot of them over the past fifty years, but only two are confirmed to appear in the special:</p><br /><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/760a7b9208f996c8685726f9887435b3/tumblr_mwhu4jvfju1r539fdo2_250.gif" width="600"/><br /><p><strong>Rose Tyler</strong>: She's played by <strong>Billie Piper</strong>. When we last saw her, she was left in an alternate dimension with a copy of Ten (Tennant). They're in love. It's unclear whether that version or an earlier version of Rose will show up in the special.</p><br /><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/344390aeb925f3d71e472042a6d0ba91/tumblr_mwmtbczV4V1qim42vo1_r1_250.gif" width="600"/><br /><p><strong>Clara Oswald</strong>: She's played by <strong>Jenna Louise Coleman</strong>. She was born as a normal person in modern day, but in order to save the Doctor, she jumps into his timeline (don't ask), so that copies of her show up all over the universe, allowing her to have been secretly helping him throughout all of his adventures since the show first started...or something. She also makes soufflés.</p><br /><strong>Important Villains:</strong><br /><p><strong>Daleks:</strong> Dome-shaped robot-things with a plunger and an eggbeater for arms. They yell 'exterminate' a lot. Clara possibly might have erased all knowledge of the Doctor from their memories, so they've forgotten how much they hate him for always foiling their evil plans. They shoot lasers, and they're super slow but somehow terrifying.</p><br /><p><strong>The Cybermen</strong>: They are clunky and made of metal, and yet still really freak and scary. Writer <strong>Neil Gaiman</strong> gave them a shiny new backstory in season 7's 'Nightmare in Silver' that made them faster and way more dangerous.</p><br /><p><strong>Zygons</strong>: The Zygons can shapeshift into pretty much any other being, but that being has to be kept alive. They were defeated by the Fourth Doctor at one point but are confirmed to be returning in the special.</p><br /><p><strong>The Weeping Angels:</strong> They probably won't show up in the special, but we're including them because they're TERRIFYING, but also awesome. They're statues, and whenever you're not looking at them, even if you just blink, they can move around, and they can zap you back in time so you're dying by the time you're supposed to be living. They then feed off of that potential energy. Seriously: Terrifying.</p><br /><strong>SCOOP: Get the latest TV dish with our Spoiler Chat</strong> <strong>How To Party:</strong><br /><p><strong>What to wear:</strong> A bowtie is always a good choice. Other options: A Fez. A cowboy hat. Suspenders. A brown pinstripe suit. A brown trench coat. That long, striped scarf worn by Four (Tom Baker). Put on a gas mask and wander around, asking everyone if they're your mummy. Trust us. It'll go over well.</p><br /><p>Hot Topic has a good selection of Doctor Who-related merchandise, including shirts and sweatshirts. You can even dress up as the TARDIS if you want. Or you can take an old shirt and paint 'Don't Blink' on it. Secure a bowl upside down on your head, hold a plunger in one hand and an eggbeater in the other and congratulations, you're a Dalek.</p><br /><p>And remember: Always bring a banana to a party. Bananas are good. (Tenth Doctor quote. Don't worry about it.)</p><br /><p><strong>How to dance:</strong> Like this:</p><br /><img src="http://31.media.tumblr.com/5dbfdced42771162fc1739dbc9c0a9d6/tumblr_mwkiddPgCm1s7igpdo1_400.gif" width="600"/><img src="http://www.eonline.com/eol_images/Entire_Site/20131022/rs_560x415-131122134117-1024.Billie-Piper-John-Hurt-Doctor-Who.jl.112213_copy.jpg" width="600"/><br /><p>BBC AMERICA</p><br /><strong>What To Watch:</strong><br /><p>We know, you don't even have a whole day to watch endless TV in preparation for more TV, but it might be good to at least watch a couple eps. At the very least, we tried to find episodes from the recent seasons that will catch you up and/or that you can jump into without much preparation. Here's our advice-pick the few that sound the most interesting to you, and go from there. (Plus, basically all of these are on Netflix Instant or Amazon Prime. So you have no excuse!)</p><br /><p><strong>'The Name of the Doctor,' season 7, episode 13:</strong> This is the season 7 finale, so it's the last episode to air before the anniversary special. The Doctor visits his own grave, which contains his timeline and discovers both the reason why Clara shows up all throughout time, and a previously unseen regeneration of himself who apparently did something horrible.</p><br /><p><strong>'Blink,' season three, episode 10:</strong> This famous episode has nothing to do with the current storyline, but it's truly fantastic and stars <strong>Carey Mulligan</strong> as a girl who, while visiting a strange old house with her best friend, receives a letter from said best friend as an old lady, having apparently recently died. That doesn't make sense. Whatever. Just watch it.</p><br /><p><strong>'Human Nature' / 'The Family of Blood,' season 3, episodes 8-9:</strong> The Doctor becomes temporarily human in 1913 England in order to hide from some Time Lord-sensing evil aliens. Only Martha knows who he really is while he falls in love and lives the regular life the Doctor could never really live. Again, irrelevant, but heartbreaking.</p><br /><p><strong>'Asylum of the Daleks,' season 7, episode 1:</strong> Eleven and everyone's favorite married companions, Amy and Rory, get trapped on a planet full of old, rusty Daleks, and meet soufflé-baking Clara. This is Clara's first rather confusing appearance on the show.</p><br /><p><strong>'The Stolen Earth' / 'Journey's End,' season 4, episodes 12-13:</strong> One of David Tennant's last turns as the Doctor, this is quite a finale. Past companions come together along with the stars of two spin-offs. Rose and the Doctor-copy end up in their alternate universe, and Donna (the best) gets a heartbreaking ending.</p><br /><p><strong>'The Waters of Mars,' special, 2009:</strong> This special consistently lands on best episode lists. The Tenth Doctor encounters the first human colony on Mars, and tries to stop a virus that lives in water.</p><br /><p><strong>'The Snowmen,' special, 2012:</strong> This special marks Clara's second, equally confusing appearance, right after the Doctor's beloved Amy and Rory have been taken by the Weeping Angels. The Doctor's in mourning, but snowmen are coming to life and building themselves, so he's clearly got to snap out of it.</p><br /><p><strong>'Midnight,' season 4, episode 10:</strong> This has nothing to do with anything, but it's a fantastic episode nontheless, chronicling one of the few occasions when the Doctor has no idea what's going on, and is in danger of being defeated by simple humanity. Super creepy and brilliant!</p><br /><p><strong>'Gridlock,' season 3, episode 3:</strong> An L.A. cat person's nightmare: In this futuristic society, everyone literally lives in their cars. They can't go outside because it's so polluted they'll suffocate, and it takes about ten years to drive a mile because it's just wall-to-wall traffic. Also, there are cat people. Literal cat people.</p><br /><strong>Any other Who fans should feel free to chime in with your favorite episodes, and tune into BBC America tomorrow morning at 11:50 am to see what goes down!</strong> <strong>The Most Shocking Deaths in Recent TV History</strong></div>
