text: A bittersweet farewell from The Beatles – a record that definitely shows the fracturing unity of the group, with lots of near-solo moments – but a set that also makes us really wonder what they'd have done with all this genius, had they managed to hold it together! There's great hints here of the solo work to come – especially from George Harrison and John Lennon – and the Phil Spector production really helps open up a new sound for the group. Includes the genius cuts "I Dig A Pony", "Two Of Us", "Across The Universe", "I Me Mine", "One After 909", "For You Blue", and "Let It Be". (Red label Apple pressing.

Detecting attacks with the Tripwire IDS
Silent Guardian
The simple but effective Tripwire HIDS provides its service quietly and discreetly, preventing attackers from infecting computers with trojans, backdoors, or modified files by identifying anomalies unnoticed by the user.
Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) detect attacks on computers and networks by monitoring network traffic and recognizing attack patterns and anomalies.
Some IDS tools detect evidence of an attack by searching for unexpected configuration changes. If the IDS works as intended, it will alert the administrator responsible for the system when it discovers an attack. This prompt notification mitigates, and sometimes even prevents, any damage associated with the attack.

Allen, age 31, said she usually buys a different game, but decided to play Monopoly this time. "It's shocking to win!" she added.
Allen said she has no plans for her winnings yet. She bought her winning ticket from Gaubert's Food Mart on Crescent Avenue in Lockport.
Monopoly is a $2 scratch-off game that offers players the chance to win up to $10,000 on each ticket. The game has four remaining top prizes as of March 10.

Hello Everyone, I have not always been a reader. About a year ago I could say that I only read once every year or so. That is until Twilight was basicly tossed at me. I feel in love with the Romance, THEN I read J.R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood and well now I can't get enough. I read about a book or two a week sometimes more. I love dark...

A domestic development in Esher – the Client wanted large Rhododendrons and he got them. 6 number 2.0-2.2m diameter specimens supplied by Lorenz von Ehren were successfully planted along a roadside boundary, along with Vannucci supplied Photinia and Laurel at 2.2m + high, to 'fill a gap' in an existing hedgeline.

These fireworks photos from July 4th, 2004, were shot from the Ross Island Bridge, where there were very few people.

Thank you again. I will definitely rejoin. It was such a status symbol for my aunt when she got her wine shipments, and all her lady friends would come over for a tasting of each. They all said it was so much more sophisticated wine than they could buy in Ponca City, Oklahoma.
You made me quite a hero!
Keep up the good work, and the good wine!
~ Melissa Nettles
It's so much fun to get a new shipment each month. We've been part of other wine clubs but none have delivered as consistently. Great customer service too!
~Mark Sandeno
Cellars Wine Club - October 2012
Learn the finer points to many of the wines we offer each month. Our club wines are expertly researched and selected for quality, value and uniqueness and every one has an interesting history. Here are some of the wines we are offering this month:
Poderi Elia – Italy2007 Serracapelli Barbaresco DOCGMeticulous, beyond belief in the cellar, Federico Stella, the young and talented owner/winemaker of Poderi Elia, possesses an uncanny instinct for making world-class wine. Respectful of traditional varietals, but unrelenting in his desire to improve, Stella experimented with over 30 combinations of French oak before settling on his cooperage formula! (Imagine that expense for a small estate!) Consistently he takes all of his wines right up to the edge of modernity, but then masterfully hovers there, never once crossing the line or going too far. Although extremely affable, Federico remains serious while discussing his vision. Indeed, even when the subject of conversation turns away from Poderi Elia, one always has the distinct impression that, privately, Federico is still thinking about his wine. From the heart of Barbaresco country in Neive comes this stunningly elegant Barbaresco. The Stella family has been making wine since 1890, but only recently have garnered international attention–it is easy to understand why. This outlier wine sparked much controversy at the Nebbiolo blind tastings because of the thickness of its extraction and the darkness of its appearance. Serracapelli is a beautifully rich wine that doesn't necessarily highlight Barbaresco typicity. You'll get opulent aromas of black cherry, spice, leather and moist tobacco. The mouthfeel is rich, round and velvety. Just 710 cases produced and only a fraction of that imported into the United States. Drink now through 2018. 94 Points Wine Enthusiast. Jarvis Wines - Napa, California2009 Chardonnay Napa Valley Finch Hollow VineyardJarvis Winery is truly unique. Carved into a mountainside high in the hills of Napa — only four miles off the Silverado Trail — its setting is truly spectacular. Jarvis Winery produces ultra-premium, estate grown Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Merlot. The grapes are hand picked and go directly from the vineyards to the winery cavern. With 45,000 square feet of floor space, the Jarvis cavern contains the entire winemaking process and provides the ideal humidity for aging fine wines in oak. The wines never see the light of day until the day they're shipped. The caverns also house an underground stream and waterfall. Owner William Jarvis has created a beautiful Crystal Room, featuring stunning crystals, and his unique fiber-optics chandeliers and the caves interior lighting are a sight to behold. This Finch Hollow Chardonnay is made up of grapes from a special vineyard called "Finch Hollow". It is a small plot that in previous years was harvested by flocks of Finches and Blackbirds. After all the Jarvis vineyards were netted and completely harvested, they got a lot more grapes from Finch Hollow. Their Winemaker Consultant Dimitri Tchelistcheff, noted that it was a distinct terrior which contributed an intense tropical fruit character. In this unique setting the vines grow in shallow soil on a steep hillside. Year after year they are impressed with the Chardonnay from Finch Hollow. It is barrel fermented in new French oak, and sur-lie aged with weekly stirring. The result is a bright, sunshine yellow wine with floral aromas and ripemouth filling fruit - an elegant wine from a remarkable harvest sure to make those you share it with feel privileged. This wine was ready to enjoy now and should continue to drink beautifully for four to six years. Only 294 cases produced. 92 Points Wine Spectator. Terra Blanca – Benton City, Washington2008 Onyx Red MountainKeith and ReNae Pilgrim started Terra Blanca Winery and Estate Vineyard in 1992 with the purchase of 300 acres on an arid, treeless slope called Red Mountain. Together, they figured out how to grow grapes, make wine, sell wine and stay married. The majority of their wines are made from the fruit they grow. While many winemakers will select vineyards for their variety of fruit and locations, Keith has invested in raising his vines for his own winemaking style. Once the fruit is picked, he often chooses long extended fermentation times using both native and selected yeast for the reds. Before fermentation, there is typically extended periods of cold soaking and post-fermentation there is often extended time on the skins; these choices are essential to producing wines with huge depth and structure; high levels of fine, well behaved tannins; and an intense fruit core. The blending of individual barrels to create the wines that Keith makes is really the artistic part of the winemaker's job. With assistant winemaker Randy Swanson and cellar master Javier Mendoza, Keith typically tastes through all of the blending trials for the wines. The blending trials for a single wine can often take several months of daily tastings to perfect the blend. Many hours of systematically trying different blends for each of the wines often results in a sea of glasses with typically very small but significant differences to evaluate and select from. Picking up the next blending trial to move a blend closer to completion until Keith and his staff are completely happy with the resulting blend. Once the wines are bottled, prefer to allow their huge structured Red Mountain reds to have a minimum of one year in the bottle. Keith believes the red wines have the structure, tannins and depth to last for well over 20 years. Terra Blanca has been producing Red Mountain estate grown wines since 1997 and their first wines from 1997 here today are still babies…. Just think what the future holds. The 2008 Onyx is 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot, 2% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Malbec to make a true Bordeaux blend. The 2008 growing season had an early start in the spring, it continued with moderate summer temperatures and overall was a mild growing season. This allowed for a timely harvest between September 17 and October 11. Vines were fifteen years old, grown in unilateral cordons on a vertical shoot position trellis. Vines were cropped at a very low 1.75-3 tons per acre. Raspberry and cherry with notes of violets lift from the glass and mingle with soft spice and toasted oak on the nose. Smooth, lush flavors of blackberry, black cherry, and cassis wrap around a core of full, yet soft, structured tannins. Cedar notes with light touches of spice fold into lingering cherry and berry flavors surrounded by a sea of rich chocolate on the long, silky finish. Drink now through 2020. Only 606 cases were bottled. This wine has not been rated yet.

hey guys I'm thinking to get 1 HD 7950 ore 2 X 7850 so i need Ur opinion and answer's about this : 1: I've never use any cf setup , it was always sli over the past , so my question is do amd have something like N inspector to use it when new games out to work out the cf ? 2: i've read in tom's H with radeon pro we have less (perhaps none ) micro stutter with cf setup this days( but the real question is , is there any one here have 2x 7850 to prove it with the latest games ? 3: chance to work out the the CF when new games out is more ore less thane nvidia inspector ? 4: also my decision to buy an amd card it's the price/performance they give and also 2x hd 7850 ore hd 7950 are the best price performance in my country 2x 7850 sapphire + 4 games 340 € / HD 7950 VAPOR X OC + 7 games 265 € 5 : as i know and oc hd 7850 to +1200/+1450 = 97-99% hd 7950 so my point is : if i buy 2 x hd 7850 and oc them to the max , i ll have +40-50% performance than any oc 7950 , and also keep in mind if i buy only one 7950 on the next gen HD 8XXX GTX 7XX I ll replace it but if i buy 2 hd 7850 i ll change them next next gen HD 9XXX GTX 8XX so which one are the best option ?? 6: final question : the HD 7950 vapor-x have LOCK VOLTAGE ? if yes can i unlock the bios , cause the vapor x don't have an original pcb so .... , also i always prefer baying AMD cards from sapphire ( HD 2/3/4/5 ) but perhaps the TF / WINDFORCE are better , so witch one to choose INCLUDING the BEST OC/TEMP/NOISE/RMA options Msi TF + 7 games ( Dirt Showdown, Nexuiz, Deux EX, SLEEPING DOGS, FAR CRY, HITMAN ABSOLUTION , -20% MOHWF 285 € Gig WINDFORCE + 3 games ( SLEEPING DOGS, FAR CRY, HITMAN ABSOLUTION , -20% MOHWF 275€ Saphire vapor x oc + 7 games ( Dirt Showdown, Nexuiz, Deux EX, SLEEPING DOGS, FAR CRY, HITMAN ABSOLUTION , -20% MOHWF 265 € sorry for my English ans also that i ask lot of question
Crossfire works great with pretty much all modern games. I have never encountered any real CF issues at all. I don't get microstuttering on 1 or 3 monitors. That's my personal experience, anyhow. I would definitely go for the 2 x 7850 if you want maximum performance right now. That will give you exceptional frame rates.
The Vapor X 7950 is a beast as testiment to many users on here including myself, able to OC much past a 680 and 7970 GHZ edition easily, I hit 1200 core and 1450+ vRAM with little effort, score over 10k on 3dMark11 so factor that OC into your decision and the cost of both options.
You will have enough problems with the default AMD drivers without having to worry about crossfire drivers. Go for the 7950. I max out everything on the 7950, with most games never going below 60 FPS. Exceptions are Battlefield 3, Crysis 3, and maybe a few others.
VaporX 7950 for 265 euros? Yes please! That's a very good bargain. I know that XFX and Asus locked their voltages in recent cards but havent heard for sapphire. I believe its better to go for the 7950. It's less money and will cost you less in power consumption and for 1 screen the card can play all games at max detail and resolution with a very big margin for the future. Maybe in a year you will even want to buy a 2nd 7950 for CF when the price will be at (hopefully) 200euro...
mmmmm still need more opinion and btw my update to the HD 7XXX is from an GTX 590 OC firstname.lastname@example.com/950(-2%580 frequency) and to be honest i like to play games sync at 74fps so I'm not sure an OC 7950 can handle games at 74 hrz maxed out specially an oc gtx 580 perform better than any oc single gpu 7970/680 and to be honest in some games like bf3 i have drops to 60 50 (CQ-B2K) gpu load 98-99% so I'm little bit confused ps: my gtx 590 is dead so i have no gpu to play with :d
anyway I'm sure that I'm gonna buy the hd 7950 ! so witch one ?? I've read in this thread there is a problem with the vapor-x http://www.overclock.net/t/1303929/7950-vapor-x-voltage-locked/370 can u guys confirm buying the vapor-x over the MSI TF ore the WF3 ore the flex ? specially the best of those t change voltage of the MEM to go up to +1800 plus 1200 gpu if the chips let me :d
You link to the last page of that thread, which starts out talking more about problems changing the BIOS, vs actual problems with the stock card itself. That's different. From what I've read, and the TPU review on it confirms, the Vapor-X 7950 performs quite well even with a sub 1150GHz OC using stock voltage. The current Newegg deal on the Vapor-X 7950 is tempting, but in the back of my mind I gotta wonder if come Black Friday or after it might be even cheaper. I'd also like to know if an audio capable DVI to HDMI adapter like this will work with it in case I get these mysterious HDMI problems some talk about.
well this problem is new so I'm afraid if get the new one "vapor-x" i ll have a locked voltage thats bad :s
This. Single card yields far less issues then crossfire. Granted there is nothing wrong with crossfire but they can be a major pain in the ass. I would go for a single STRONG GPU like a 670. But that's me.
I second this, unless you have more money than sense for crossfire, a 670 is amazing at 1080p performance, though anything above 1080p AMD is dominating - the cards are excellent value, high GDDR5 memory, and a bunch of free games. I just bought 2 7950's, as i have no sense but the 16 free games i got from it was one hell of a selling point.
even with that, a GHZ edition 7970 is only 3% less performance than a GTX590. That's with the 7970 clocked to around 1050mhz. My 7970 can do 1100 mhz on the core with no voltage bump(I just haven't really tried to go any higher), and the 7970 has been known to OC way beyond that. So still- The only time a GTX590 is better than the 7970 is only with stock or factory OC'ed speeds. Take into account owner OC'ing through MSI Afterburner or other OC'ing program, and the GTX590 will never beat the HD7970, even with OC'ing the 590. The 7970 has ALOT more OC'ing headroom.
I take it then the "problem" you're referring to is the implied lottery some are referring to in saying some are voltage locked and some are not, and the inconsistent OCing results? To that I would say consider the number of people here that have raved about their Vapor-X 7950s, and the fact that TPU's review on it showed how well it can perform even with a modest 1135 core speed and no voltage bump. What I'm saying is FAR too many people obsess over clock speeds and voltages rather than end results, which is all that matters really at the end of the day. I've seen too many benches showing lower clocked cards beating higher clocked ones to put a lot of stock in core speeds and voltages alone. That said, just buy from a good vendor that backs their products well, and if you happen to get a lemon that doesn't yield acceptable FPS, return it within the 30 day exchange/refund period. Notice I said FPS, not MHz or volts.
The MSI Lightnings no longer have unlocked voltage, and in my experience, you better hope you don't have any defect or compat problems, because their support is somewhat lackluster.

My Prices
Generally speaking I don't offer 'off the shelf' packages or deals. There is a very good reason for this. In my experience having worked on hundreds of web projects, it is almost impossible to accurately price a project, until after the planning and research has been done, the web strategy worked out and the full scope of the project is known. Although it may be easier for me, from the point of view of a business model, to sell pre-priced solutions it would not be in the interest of my client. Instead once I have reached a fuller understanding about what sort of web solution each client needs I can allocate the resources accordingly. I prefer to sit down and discuss your business objectives with you and then establish the following important 3 pieces of information.
- Your Budget
- Timescale – when do you need it for
- Scope – what features must be included in the project
These 3 pieces of information are all closely related and will ultimately determine the final price of the project. If your deadline for completion is soon and you want lots of features then your budget needs to be high. If your budget is low and you need the project completed quickly then don't expect many features and so on and so forth. Ultimately I want to try and give you the optimal balance of these 3 elements.
My Process
I believe that each client is unique and should therefore be treated accordingly. I also believe that you know your business better than anyone and so I do not try and sell you a predefined solution and convince you that it will work for you. Instead I undertake a process where I listen to you tell me about your business and the direction you wish to take it and then suggest a solution to suit.
1. Getting to know you
First things first, is there potential for a successful and mutually beneficial business relationship? Do you fit my idea of a suitable client and do I fit your idea of the experienced, ethical professional you need to help you with your web project? Believe me when I say this is the foundation stone.
2. Audit, review & plan web strategy
Using an array of tools, techniques and experience I take what is the key to making your web project a success and disguise it as an informal information gathering session. We take stock of where you are, where you are trying to get to and how we are going to get you there. Sounds fun eh!
3. Content collection and production
Content is key, content tells the world who you are: your aspirations, personality, and the benefits of choosing you. Content is also a conversation. You want to persuade, inform, and even entertain your audience. We need the content upfront so that I can create your website around it, without quality content your website will have no substance and may not be effective. I can help you produce content if you have none.
4. Design, development & review
So, we have your content and now the real fun part starts. I design a website that communicates your message and meets your objectives. You review the designs and if you are happy I turn them into a usable, accessible, search engine friendly and effective website. Depending on the size of the project we will schedule review meetings for you to keep an eye on progress and will also ask you to sign off on various stages of the design and development.
5. Marketing, publicity & launch
What use is a website if noone visits? This is one of the most overlooked aspects of developing an online presence. I will recommend, advise on and implement marketing strategies prior to launch, to ensure your website gets plenty of the kind of visitors you want, those who will convert into a customer or those who already are your customer and are now happier with your service (not just random surfers).
6. Tracking, reporting, reviewing & improving
Is your website working for you? Are you getting a good return on your investment? In order to answer these and other questions , I will on your behalf track and monitor you website usage and visitor profiles over the initial few months and provide you with a report at regular intervals. If needs be I can make small adjustments to design layout or content to make sure the website is doing its job. Finally if your budget allows for it we can consider improving the website or adding useful functionality to further advance your overall web strategy.
Join my mailing list
Sign up and I will periodically send you some surprises, pleasant ones of course. It goes without saying I'll treat your email address with the same sanctity as I would my own.

Justice Department Commemorates National Missing Children's Day
The following post appears courtesy of Acting Assistant Attorney General of the Office of Justice Programs, Mary Lou Leary.
WASHINGTON, May 25, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The disappearance of 6-year-old Etan Patz on May 25, 1979, of Adam Walsh in 1981, and the murders of 29 children in Atlanta during those same years forced our nation to realize we had no national response system in place to coordinate the efforts among federal, state, and local law enforcement when children went missing. We had no central resource to help families searching for their children. The momentum generated by a concerned public following these disappearances led to photographs of missing children on milk cartons — and ultimately a nationwide movement.
Each president since Ronald Reagan has commemorated May 25th as National Missing Children's Day to remind the nation to make child protection a national priority.
At a moving ceremony this Wednesday, I listened as Deputy Attorney General James Cole paid tribute to four individuals — a special agent, a detective, a 30-year veteran of the postal service, and a prosecutor– for their extraordinary efforts to recover missing children, rescue children from abuse, and prosecute sexual predators. These jobs are among the toughest in law enforcement, as Deputy Attorney General Cole said:
"Your jobs are among the most intellectually challenging and emotionally wrenching. You uncover crimes of depravity and cold calculation. Most people would cower from the prospect but you rise to meet the challenge, knowing that these kids and their communities are depending on you. We commend you for your service."
Yvonne Pointer, a mother who experienced this pain and loss firsthand, also spoke passionately and poignantly during the ceremony about her daughter Gloria, who was abducted, raped, and murdered when she was 14 years old. Since then Yvonne has become a passionate advocate, working to stop crimes against children and to give a voice to families who have lost a loved one.
I'm proud that the Office of Justice Programs plays such a central role in the Justice Department's efforts on behalf of children. We fund programs, we train practitioners, and we support research to make these efforts increasingly more successful and effective. Our work with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force program has made a difference in neighborhoods across the country in the lives of many children and their families. As the AMBER Alert Program National Coordinator, I'm gratified to report the program has led to the successful recovery of 584 abducted children since its creation in 1996.
Attorney General Holder has long been committed to children's safety and well-being. His Defending Childhood initiative has created a national task force of experts who have heard about children's exposure to violence from practitioners, policymakers, academics, community members, and survivors at four public hearings in the past six months. The task force will synthesize its recommendations in a final report to the Attorney General later this year.
We know that the powerful voices of those most affected by violence will spur the task force to find new tools for preventing and reducing the effects of children's exposure to violence, just as our annual National Missing Children's Day event reminds us of the importance of working together to recover missing children and rescue them from harm's way.
As Yvonne Pointer said so eloquently:
"Today we are reminded why we commemorate this day and why we must continue to speak for children who have lost their voices and those that are still missing. We must be the strength of our communities and the keeper of our children. We must never give up this mission. Never give up hope."
Indeed, as yesterday's developments in the Etan Patz case demonstrate, we can never give up on seeking justice for these children and their families.
Working together, we can and will make a difference for our children.
The Office of Justice Programs (OJP), headed by Acting Assistant Attorney General Mary Lou Leary, provides federal leadership in developing the nation's capacity to prevent and control crime, administer justice, and assist victims. OJP has six components: the Bureau of Justice Assistance; the Bureau of Justice Statistics; the National Institute of Justice; the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention; the Office for Victims of Crime; and the Office of Sex Offender Sentencing, Monitoring, Apprehending, Registering, and Tracking.

The school grounds were as silent as a graveyard on the dark cool evening with the slight sound of rain tapping on the windows. It seemed uncomfortably peaceful as if the trees swallowed up the surroundings of the school. A faint light could be seen flickering from the windows. Many of the students stare out into the solemn clouds as they listened to each trickle of warm dew hit the glass. The sound of the rain fall was a calming melody of slumber and rest. This very school in the mountains of Southern Italy, known to only the elite few, was named Elementare Academy.
Elementare Academy was unlike any other academy, though there were many like it in the world. It was a school built for Elementals, a rare race of humans with the ability to control the four elements. Their eye color told which element they could master. Those born with blue eyes could feel the rush of water. Those with hazel, the power to dance with the tempting fire. Those born with brown eyes could feel and control the life and rumble of the earth, and an Elemental with green eyes could sing with the winds. These four elements were the structure of Elemental society.
There were very few cases of other abilities visible through the eyes. So uncommon, none ever bothered accounting for them except through legends and tales vastly changed through time. Although many knew of the stories, the students and patrons of Elementare were urged by the Headmaster to never speak of them.
"Why linger in the past?" he would tell them. "The legends of the past are useless. No one believes in the Gods of Olympus anymore. It's all rubble."
He ordered that any books on the old legends be burned and never read at their school. And so the students watched as the fires swallowed up the tales of old, never to hear their stories again. But life moved on.
At birth, doctors tested to see if each child possessed any elemental gift. They did so when the baby was about a week old, checking their eye color to see if it was even possible for them to have any gifts. If it matched an element, they placed the child in front of a piece of that element; maybe water or a rock. If they do possess any elemental abilities, the object with react, confirming that they are in fact an Elemental. When they were old enough, they were enrolled in one of many prestigious Elemental academies around the world. Elementare and the reputation it carried was considered to be the most prestigious of them all.
Only the elite were invited to attend the academy in Italy. No normal human or outside Elementals, uninvited, dared to intrude unless they came prepared to face the strongest Elementals in the world. However, what most they didn't know was the secret of Elementare had escaped years ago.
They could still see her eyes burning fear into their deepest thoughts. They could never forget her. She was unlike anyone they had ever seen before. She was an Elemental of rare talent, a girl of double colored eyes, one that sang in green and another that swum in blue. With her eyes she could tame the arts of air and water. No one could ever fathom it was possible for two elements to come together, but they watched her as she weaved them together in harmony. A prophecy had once been told of the one born with the Clashing of the Elements, but many didn't believe. Legends and Tales of these rare Elementals were always thought to be drastically altered or false throughout the centuries. They were never held as realistic or truthful and consequentially all eyes turned to her when any legend of this nature was mentioned. But the young girl was unstable at heart and could not control herself or her elements. She found it to be more of a curse than a talent.

Hanna showed up to see Mona at the mental health facility Mona is in. Mona isn't exactly on the top of everyone's social calender, after being revealed as "A". Hanna lied about going to see Mona, saying that she had seen Dr. Sullivan for therapy. Hanna has made a habit of seeing Mona, and tells "A" that she is lying to everyone she cares about to do it. However, her visits seem to be paying off, since Dr. Wren says that her visits are helping with Mona's progress. There was an eery part to the show when Mona can see Alison sitting in a chair behind Hanna. Alison is wearing the red coat.
Another very creepy part occurred when it was discovered that there is another "A", and this one is watching the girls. "A" made it known that Mona played with dolls, but he/she plays with body parts.
Emily was finally able to remember that moment from the night she was found standing over Alison's empty grave site. Emily says she remembers that she was locked in the trunk of a car, but she only remembered that at the end of the episode, after seeing a parked car on the street. It's something to go on- for now.
Aria has a panicked moment when she thinks she sees "A". She was locked in a bathroom stall, and thought she saw her, but Mona is still in the mental health facility. Now, she is wondering if she is starting to see things.
Garrett is still locked up, but he got to talk to Spencer when she visited, and he let her in on a secret. Garrett knows the suspect in the crime. He didn't tell her who that might be, so viewers were left hanging on that mystery, as well.
Lucas, also, is acting like he has something to hide. At the masquerade ball, he can be seen hanging out with the Black Swan. Aria, Hanna, Spencer and Emily are starting to see changes in his attitude, but the question of why has yet to be answered.
Hanna's mom, Ashley, has decided that she is in need of a date. After overcoming the financial problems and the short fling with a Rosewood police officer, she is ready to date. Ashley, in a weird twist, received some advice from her daughter, Hanna, who tells her mom that she is open to date, but on open for business.
It is also discovered that Aria's parents are having problems in their marriage. This may cause problems for Aria and Ezra as they try to date. However, on the whole, the girls are enjoying their love lives.
"Pretty Little Liars" airs on ABC, on Tuesday nights, at 8:00 pm, central standard time.

One of the most widespread conventions of urban design is the belief in the importance of 'a sense of enclosure'. This term is defined by the City of Ottawa as
"when buildings physically define public spaces particularly through proportions between height and width in an area to create places that are comfortable to pedestrians."
A sense of enclosure is routinely praised as a way to provide shelter from the elements, to provide a semi-private realm that feels like an outdoor living room, and to provide a sense of security due to the continuous or near-continuous building line creating 'defensible space' and the overlooking buildings providing natural surveillance.
This article contends that the 'sense of enclosure' generated by following certain ratios of street height to street width is based on a valuable perception of what makes a satisfying place, but that the ratio theory is the wrong interpretation of that valuable perception. Consequently, by following the ratio theory we risk making developments that focus on concerns that may be unimportant to street users, and thereby make mistakes. In its place I'll try to offer an interpretation of why some places that are said to 'offer a sense of enclosure' are satisfying that is both simpler and fits the data better, and which is constructed from two principles grounded firmly in known principles of how we perceive a place.

Export-reliant economies are bracing for significantly reduced trade numbers over the next 12 to 18 months, and many are dusting off stimulus measures last seen during the Great Recession in an attempt to maintain production levels and stave off job losses. In Taiwan, the ROC government has taken the bull by the horns and started implementing policy measures aimed at keeping the economy ticking along. At the vanguard of these efforts is ROC Premier Sean C. Chen, who has relevant agencies and ministries formulating appropriate responses based on the likelihood of reduced European demand. Although Taiwan-EU trade reached a 10-year high of 40.1 billion euros (US$50.2 billion) in 2011, a 3.1 percent increase from 2010, this number is not expected to improve for 2012. Fears of the eurozone's crisis-induced economic slowdown taking its toll on local exporters are weighing heavy, with a drop from 19th largest EU trading partner on the cards for the island. So far, the impact of the crisis on Taiwan's financial sector has been minimal. Exposure of local banks to Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain is estimated by the ROC Financial Supervisory Commission at NT$23.38 billion (US$780.57 million), or 0.07 percent of institutional assets. The ROC Central Bank is taking no chances, however, unveiling plans to implement appropriate monetary policies to maintain market liquidity and stable exchange rate movements. Other steps include FSC stabilization initiatives bolstering local business activity and strengthening risk management capabilities of financial institutions. The commission believes that ensuring Taiwan's companies are not hamstrung by a tightening of credit, nor an unstable banking sector, is the best way of moving forward in these uncertain times. Additional government programs set down for the second half of the year encompass a series of seminars on boosting Taiwan's economy organized by the Council for Economic Planning and Development, and nationwide industrial development meetings conducted by the Ministry of Economic Affairs. Although the future of eurozone looks more assured following the election victory of mainstream pro-austerity parties New Democracy and Pasok in Greece earlier this month, the government cannot relax as the situation is extremely fluid. Close attention must be paid to the situation in Greece, Italy and Spain, as well as post-EU summit developments, for any possible impact on Taiwan. The government understands that now is not the time for economic hiccups and stands ready to provide appropriate support for local industries if the European crisis worsens. Taking care of business is an absolute priority that will not be compromised. Write to Taiwan Today at email@example.com |

To this day, I still can't believe that Arrow is a show on The CW! Normally, programs on that channel are much more focused on relationships among teens and post-teens. Arrow, on the other hand, has its share of dialogue, but the action and the stories keep me gripped from episode to episode. This week, Barry Allen appears, and I can't wait to see how they handle this hero-to-be.
Then, too, Netflix is bringing Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist to live-action drama. And the Marvel movies are doing well at the box office.
