Pretty Little Liars





Rosewood is a small sleepy town. So quiet and pristine, never guess it holds so many secrets. Some of the worst belong to four friends call Spencer Hastings, Aria Montgomery, Hanna Marin and Emily Fields, whose dark and darkest secrets are about to be unveiled.
One year ago, Alison, the "queen bee" of his group of best friends mysteriously disappears without a trace. Alison made them believe their secrets to unite, but just the opposite happens. Who could say what the truth is in Rosewood? It seems that everyone in town is lying about something.
With the mystery surrounding the disappearance of Alison, Aria (Lucy Hale) moves and after a year he returns to sleepy town. From that day, when all are "together" again, the girls begin getting messages from "A-" that makes you think Alison still be alive, containing things that only Alison knew, besides various offenses girls. But it could not be Alison, could you? In the course of the series are displayed various suspects. Whoever it is, he or she seems to know all the secrets of the girls and is watching every one of his movements. The girls are friends again, and they will be with each other when their secrets come to light.
According to the series has proven to us over time, with still more answers more questions arise. Since 2010 Pretty Little Liars is one of the largest audiences of ABC Family, and because the good results that the series has achieved, the channel renewed the series for its fourth season which will feature 24 episodes and is set to debut in June 2013 in the USA .
While we wait for answers, Shay Mitchell (Emilly), the new mentor of Acuvue in 2013, said some things to Wetpaint Entertainment.

WE: Near the end of last season, we saw Emily  becomes Spencer 2.0 and went in search of clues of "A". Does it still gives a detective in season 4?

SHAY: Yeah! I guess that since Emily came out, there was a point in season 2, where everyone was calling her "Emily badass." She started out of her shell, and she became much stronger. Now, she is the one that really takes the lead, so I think that Detective Fields continues in season 4. More than anything, she just wants to look out for your friends and protect them all. Now she is taking the situation, going head, which is very cool to do. There will be much more than that. I love detective Fields.

WE: We know that liars will work harder this season with Mona instead of against it. How does Emily feel when working with his former enemy?

SHAY: It's amazing! Normally, when we were shooting scenes with her in recent seasons, there was never much between Mona and Emily. She really does not have much to do with Mona at the beginning. In addition to being with the rest of the girls, they never had a scene alone, as she had with Spencer and Hanna,and even Aria. Now, it is a kind of group member. You will see the issue of girls, "Can we trust her? Let's trust it? Is everything okay? We're saying too? "So it's one of those things that cross our fingers and hope that she is on our side for good reasons.

WE: Marlene King promised a lot of answers this season, especially in the first episode, and more Sasha Pieterse, so what can you tell us about how Ali will be involved in season 4?

SHAY: There definitely is much more involved than before, it was all about what happened that summer and she was indeed pregnant. So a lot of these questions will be answered. There will be a lot more flashbacks as well, while the girls try to put all the pieces of the puzzle, so we are seeing more and Alison see other relationships she had with some people and this can be a big clue in the whole thing .

WE: Last season, you had that scene in the tomb was really creepy!

SHAY: Oh my God! Yeah, that was pretty crazy. There were so many intense scenes. That's why, when someone asks, "What was your favorite scene?" Or "What was your favorite episode?" I honestly can't even tell, because every time I come to work is just another crazy scene. Until one of these things that we shot yesterday, trust me when I say you will not be disappointed, because this season is getting crazy.

If you ask me why I chose this series, I answer, because this show is not just typical teenage problems of jealousy, love affairs, and school grades. It is a show that goes with teenagers who have to deal with problems as adults losses, consequences of acts that have had problems with the police and secrets come back to haunt the Liars all the time, taking the constant threat and risk to life they run into each episode. So say it's addictive and suspenseful.

KOREAN POP – Brief Introduction
This type of music has already become famous around Asia and is now looking for a bigger public. K-poppers, which is how the k-pop fans call themselves, are a group of people with a huge passion for Korean music and idols, a giant fandom composed by minor fandoms, just like a family. For k-poppers some things are different if compared to other kind of fans. Names such as Oppa, Dongsaeng, Hyung, Noona, Saranghae and Maknae are a must know.

ABOUT THE BAND

In 2010, the group made their official debut on June 30 with the single “Bad Girl Good Girl”. The song was taken from their mini album single “Bad But Good”. However, this wasn’t their first appearance to the netizens. Originally, the group had five members, being two of them Jia and Fei. While training they appeared in a bunch of Chinese television shows to promote themselves. They were known as the “JYP Sisters” and the “Chinese Wonder Girls”. Then, three members decided to leave the group. One of them, Lim, joined the Wonder Girls. The company managed to group the remaining girls with Suzy Bae, a South Korean trainee. The group signed up with Samsung China and released a commercial song entitled “Love Again” for Samsung Beat Festival.
Later, Lee Min Young also joined the group. She auditioned when she was only six years old, then she travelled to the USA and had her training there. The solo artist came back to Korea in 2008 to continue her activities and the decision of her joining the group was announced. She also made a quick cameo appearance in the “Love Again” MV.
The title track “Bad Girl Good Girl” made a huge success around Asia. It placed number 1 in charts such as SBS’s Inkigayo, Mnet’s M!Countdown and KBS’s Music Bank.  The music also won the award Music of The Year in the 2010 Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA). The mini album Bad But Good wasn’t enough for them so they came back on September 26 with another single album “Step Up”. Although it didn’t attracted the same amount of attention, the title song “Breathe” showed a completely new side of the band, with its colorful and doll-like MV and dance. We find it a funny, playful and joyful music video.   (>-<)
After 2010, when the girls left a marc and became known to the public, the solo activities were important. Suzy and Min gave a chance in acting, Suzy made her debut in the Korean drama “Dream High” as the main character, while Min was casted in the movie “Countdown”. In Korea it’s common for the idols to appear in numerous variety or reality shows, so that you can know more about them. At the time Min was a fixed member in the show “Oh My School”, more known as 100 points out of them. She was one of the few “students” that stayed to the very end. Suzy also was a guest in one/two episodes of this show.
First Part of the first episode of the show if anyone wants do check it - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFAm8wYoUqc

The Chinese members weren’t that active, both made an appearance in different music videos and promoted as miss A, nothing big.
In May, the girls released the track “Love Alone”, that was part of an upcoming full album entitled “A Class”. The album was released in July, with a total of 13 songs, four were new and the other were mixed versions of previous songs. After that they started the title track promotions, another big hit. It was called “Goodbye Baby” and won first places on more than one charts, like their debut song. Their dance once again draws attention, even getting the Best Dance Performance Female Group award at the 2011 MAMA.

Still in 2011, Miss A had their Chinese debut with a special edition of their newest album. They placed top on Chinese charts more than one time.
Besides the popularity they were gaining, Suzy attracted many attention and her schedules were becoming more and more packed. She was criticized by her lack of acting skills when she acted as Go Hye Mi, in Dream High. Some comments surrounding her were pretty bad and she was very sad about it, but she didn’t give up. She is trying her best for her fans and herself. In 2012 she participated in her first movie, “Architecture 101”.
In February, they launched a new song called Touch. The song lyrics represent a man’s touch which opened the woman singing’s heart so that she can feel love. It’s the opposite shown in Goodbye Baby, when they expressed rage and hate for a man who supposedly cheated each one of them with the other. This time Miss A was aiming for a deeper theme. The music video was filled with red and white roses, black color, and sad or dark backgrounds. Their style also changed (once more), this time adjusting perfectly with the settings. They wore clothes sometimes with black tones, sometimes with white stripes covering the body.
On March 23 Miss A released the Chinese version of the new album. It immediately placed top on Chinese online charts.
Later, Jia and Fei made their acting debut on the drama “Happy Noodles” and Suzy announced that she would be featuring idols such as Gong Yoo and Lee Min Jung in the drama “Big”.
On October they had another comeback and present a different purpose, a new style of women. Now they didn’t need men, or money from others, they wanted to show to the world the independent ladies.
Nowadays Miss A is doing well. Fei starred in the Korean version of the television show Master Chef and competed with other idols. The same happened with her in Dancing with the Stars 3. Suzy is currently starring in the drama “Gu Family Book”. Jia still doesn’t appear alone, but she is almost a fashionista (in our opinion). Min appeared in the sitcom “Reckless Family 2” alongside BTOB’s Minhyuk.

The reason
We chose Miss A because one of us (Clara Salles) is a Say A, which is the name of Miss A’s Fandom. This band has been an inspiration, more specifically Suzy. They pursued their dreams and they do what they love and they’re really good.
“This was the first band I really liked when I found out K-pop existed. I thought I would never understand what is to be truly passionate about an idol or a band. I mean, we don’t know them and we probably never will, but it’s like magic. When I saw them for the first time I just knew that I was goind to become a Say A and I did kekeke.” (Clara)
Why Suzy? Well we can’t explain it. What we can tell you is that she has the title of the Nation’s First Love.

South Park

South Park is an American adult animated sitcom created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone for the Comedy Central television network.
 Intended for mature audiences, the show has become famous for its crude language and darksurreal humor that lampoons a wide range of topics. The ongoing narrative revolves around four boys—Stan MarshKyle BroflovskiEric Cartman and Kenny McCormick—and their bizarre adventures in and around the titular Colorado town.
 The town is also home to an assortment of frequent characters such as students, families,elementary school staff, and other various residents, who tend to regard South Park as a bland and quiet place to live. Prominent settings on the show include the local elementary school, bus stop, various neighborhoods and the surrounding snowy landscape, actual Colorado landmarks, and the shops and businesses along the town's main street, all of which are based on the appearance of similar locations in the town ofFairplay, Colorado.
Stan is portrayed as the everyman of the group, as the show's official website describes him as an "average, American 4th grader". Kyle is the lone Jew among the group, and his portrayal in this role is often dealt with satirically. Stan is modeled after Parker, while Kyle is modeled after Stone. Stan and Kyle are best friends, and their relationship, which is intended to reflect the real life friendship between Parker and Stone, is a common topic throughout the series. Cartman—loud, obnoxious, manipulative, racist and obese—is often portrayed as an antagonist whose anti-Semitic attitude has resulted in an ever-progressing rivalry with Kyle. Kenny, who comes from a poor family, wears his parka hood so tightly that it covers most of his face and muffles his speech. During the show's first five seasons, Kenny would die in nearly every episode before returning in the next with little or no definitive explanation given. He was written out of the show's sixth season in 2002, re-appearing in the season finale. Since then, the practice of killing Kenny has been seldom used by the show's creators. During the show's first 58 episodes, the boys were in the third grade. In the season four episode "4th Grade" (2000), they entered the fourth grade, where they have remained ever since.
Plots are often set in motion by events, ranging from the fairly typical to the supernatural and extraordinary, which frequently happen upon the town. The boys often act as the voice of reason when these events cause panic or incongruous behavior among the adult populace, who are customarily depicted as irrational, gullible, and prone to vociferation. The boys are also frequently confused by the contradictory and hypocritical behavior of their parents and other adults, and often perceive them as having distorted views on morality and society.

 

Stan Marsh is thorough and sensitive, and is the protagonist in most episodes. Always use a blue cap and always tries to preach the good among his friends.
 

Eric Cartman is chubby, aggressive, selfish, and have your character inspired by Adolf Hitler. Whenever discriminating against disadvantaged social classes and going over all to get what he wants.
   
Kyle Broflovski has several confrontations with Eric, since he is Jewish. But the boy is very good and intelligent and always willing to help everyone. 

Kenny McCormick is poor, sarcastic (according to the responses to comments from his friends that we can not understand why his coat muffles his lines) and always dies at the end. Kenny is one of the most beloved figures in South Park, and even do not understand what he says, he is one of the funniest characters of South Park.
