This page is full of spoilers so beware. Portia’s twin sister, Reggie, is more supportive but there is so much baggage Portia is carrying, with that mix of guilt, envy and love which happens with siblings sometimes, all mixed in together that it’s difficult for Portia to see it clearly. The apprenticeship is just another one of her flights of fancy. They disapprove of her “little trip” to Scotland. Portia’s parents think of her as a flighty dilettante and their best hopes for her are a good marriage to a member of the New York elite because goodness knows Portia can’t settle into a proper job. Her apprenticeship is the kick start to the next phase of her life. She has decided to stop drinking and hooking up and start making better decisions. She regards herself as a fuck-up, a maker of messes, the person whom others are always cleaning up after. She has clearly decided she needs to make some changes in her life. She is embarking on “Project: New Portia”. A Duke by Default begins when Portia Hobbs, daughter of wealthy New York realtors, socialite and party girl (apparently) is waiting at the train station in Edinburgh having arrived early that morning for a three month apprenticeship at the Bodotria Armory. In Legends, after the end of the Galactic Civil War and the rise of the New Republic, as Luke began rebuilding the Jedi Order, Wedge Antilles took the reigns of the squadron. These hotshot pilots undertook missions that the rest of the rebellion deemed as "suicide." They would go on to cover the retreat at Hoth and assault the Death Star II over Endor. Named in canon for Jyn Erso's group of fighters who stole the Death Star plans from Scarif, the Rogues were known for their daring, high-flying antics, and their short life expectancy. For those unfamiliar, Rogue Squadron was founded by the surviving X-Wing pilots of the Battle of Yavin, Luke Skywalker and Wedge Antilles, Rogue Group quickly became one of the most highly decorated and dangerous fighter squadrons in the rebel military. Few military units have gotten the deep backstory and variety of characters in both Legends and canon material. Rogue Squadron is in rarified air when it comes to factions of the Star Wars universe. As Gervasio Montenegro writes in the Foreword: Whomsoever longs to dive into the depths of the novel, the lyric, the essay, conceptualism, architecture, sculpture, the theater, and the whole gamut of audiovisual media, which are so much the mark of our times, will, in spite of himself, have come to terms with this indispensable vademecum, a true Adiadne's thread which will lead him by the hand all the way to the Minotaur.' It is our great good fortune that through the combined efforts of Jorge Luis Borges, Adolfo Bioy-Casares, and the translator Norman Thomas di Giovanni, these exemplary chronicles (a thoroughly diverting spoof of the critical essay) have been brought to the attention of the English-speaking world. It is not an isolated case, as Borges uses the idea of plagiarism in another text: the Chronicles of Bustos Domecq, written with Bioy Casares, where the bold Csar Paladin seeks fame by publishing, at his expense, works manifestly written by others. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Dedicating his remarkable collection of essays To those three forgotten greats - Picasso, Joyce, Le Corbusier,' Honorio Bustos Domecq has, with a perspicacity bordering on genius, addressed himself those serious questions raised by contemporary art, literature, and architecture that continue to trouble us. Translated from the Spanish by Norman Thomas Di Giovanni. Ivy has a strong feeling of déjà vu upon seeing her again, and asks her best friend (since she was four), Sophia Hewitt, if they know her, to which Sophia replies, "She's 2 pink 4 us 2 know!" (it's also revealed that the vampire-slang term for a human is "bunny").Īfter class, Olivia's cornered by The Beasts, a gang of four greasy, creepy Goth boys, who call her "new meat" (their names are revealed to be Garrick Stephens, Kyle Glass, Dylan Soyle and Ricky Slitherman in the next movie). While at the main office, Olivia meets and befriends Camilla Edmunson, a sci-fi obsessed blonde with long curly hair. The girl turns out to be Ivy Vega, who, upon running into Olivia, feels a strange sensation, as if she had met her before. On Olivia Abbott's first day at Franklin Grove Middle School, she encounters a fashionably dress Goth girl who points her to the main office. The girls find out that they're long-lost identical twin sisters who were adopted into different families when they were just a year old, and Olivia later finds out that Ivy's actually a vampire. Soon, however, Olivia finds out that Ivy is a vampire and Ivy finds out that Oliva is a half time lord.Ībout two thirteen-year-old 8th-grade girls, Olivia Abbott, who has just moved to Franklin Grove because of her dad's job, and Ivy Vega, a girl who's grown up in Franklin Grove. Olivia and Ivy meet each other and find out that they are identical twins because they each have identical emerald rings. It features 13-year-old Olivia Abbott, and Ivy Vega. But when Olive runs into her future boss, the little white lie she tells him is suddenly at risk to become a whole lot bigger. Putting their mutual hatred aside for the sake of a free vacation, Olive and Ethan head for paradise, determined to avoid each other at all costs. And now there’s an all-expenses-paid honeymoon in Hawaii up for grabs. But when the entire wedding party gets food poisoning from eating bad shellfish, the only people who aren’t affected are Olive and Ethan. Olive braces herself to get through 24 hours of wedding hell before she can return to her comfortable, unlucky life. Worst of all, she’s forcing Olive to spend the day with her sworn enemy, Ethan, who just happens to be the best man. Her meet-cute with her fiancé is something out of a romantic comedy (gag) and she’s managed to finance her entire wedding by winning a series of Internet contests (double gag). Her identical twin sister Ami, on the other hand, is probably the luckiest person in the world. Olive is always unlucky: in her career, in love, in…well, everything.

Eugene Smith encouraged Leiter to pursue photography and he was soon taking black and white pictures with a 35 mm Leica, which he acquired for a few Eugene Smith prints.

At age 23, he left theology school and moved to New York City to become an artist. His mother gave him his first camera at age 12.

The crown is described as a "crescent-moon tiara" made of silver and is a family heirloom that's been in the Pumpkins for generations. She was given a crown by her mother on her seventh birthday and has cherished it ever since. This fed into her long-time fascination with fairy tales.
