Description This application is a continuation-in-part of prior application Ser. No. 820,408, filed Jan. 17, 1986, abandoned. The invention relates to a wall panel system and more particularly to apparatus for supporting a number of coplanar and non-coplanar wall panels. The chief use for portable wall panel systems is dividing office space. A typical wall panel assembly utilizes a number of components to connect and support one panel to a second panel. Each panel requires an edge connector, usually a channel, and it is only after an edge channel has been connected that a panel may be attached to a post which links the separate panels in a non-load-bearing manner. A pair of such posts is then connected to a load bearing post. Thus, most panel-to-panel connections require two non-load-bearing posts and a load-bearing support post. Assemblies having a multitude of connecting components can be very costly to purchase and time-consuming to assemble. In addition, many times the connecting hardware is left visible, resulting in a less aesthetically pleasing structure. U.S. Pat. No. 4,571,907 to DeFouw et al. shows a panel system having a double connector post suspension system. Brackets atop the posts anchor adjacent panels, as well as intersection posts. U.S. Pat. No. 4,567,698 to Morrison shows a panel system having a double connector post suspension system. U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,971,182 to Donahue et al. and 4,104,838 to Hage et al. describe portable wall assemblies which require that panel members be fitted with a rectangular edge channel at each vertical side edge. Panel connections are made by inserting hook-type mounting clips, projecting from the upper and lower portions of the edge channels, into the interior of a support post. The support post may be round or square, but in either case the post contains cavities which receive the mounting clips of the edge channel. A connector plug or retainer in the top of the support post is manipulated. Flexible sealing inserts are wedged between the panels and the support post to provide privacy from one side of the assembly to the other. Similar in construction to the above-described patents, U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,762,116 to Anderson et al. and 3,877,191 to Munsey disclose panel assemblies in which each panel member insert must first be equipped with at least one non-load-bearing edge channel before the panel member may be attached to a support post. Once again, all panel-to-panel connections require two edge channels and a support post. The support post is a hollow tubular post having panel connector adaptors secured at each end to receive the hook-type mounting clips of an edge channel. A problem found in the prior art is that a multiplicity of slotted linear structures had to be provided to support ancillary structures, such as shelves, bookcases, cantilevered surfaces and the like. Often, the load carried by these structures had to be laterally transferred to a support post. The resulting structure is mechanically unstable and not appreciably sturdy. It is an object of the present invention to provide a strong mechanically stable support system for modular wall panels and ancillary structures cantilevered from the vicinity of the panels. It is a further object to provide a wall panel system which is aesthetically pleasing and is substantially without visible gaps between connecting components. The above objects have been met by a wall panel system which uses a single load-bearing connector post to link two coplanar panel members. The panels abut opposed walls of the connector post and because the post partially fits into recesses of the panel members, only a small portion of the post is exposed. The small exposed portion of each connector post has a linear array of slots, each slot accommodating a pair of tangs or hooks from different, but adjacent articles to be supported in cantilever fashion. Correspondingly, the hooks of brackets cantilevering supported items, such as shelves, surfaces, cabinets, book cases and the like are made thin enough, or the slot wide enough, so that a pair will fit into one slot. This allows left and right ends of adjacent supported items to receive vertical support directly from a load-bearing support post without lateral force transfer. The side walls of the connector post that abut panel members each contain a connector post aperture. The post apertures are near the bottom of the connector posts and match the height of lower connector flanges on the panel members. The lower connector flanges, like the upper flanges, have downwardly extending segments. When the downwardly extending segment of a lower flange is slipped into a post aperture, increased support is given to the junction of panel member and connector post. A panel member may be locked in place by a securing arrangement which applies a downward pressure to the upper connector flange at the area of contact with a U-shaped bracket at the top of the post. This arrangement prevents the panel member from being unintentionally disengaged from the connector post. For those instances in which a wall structure contains non-coplanar panel members at right angles to each other, the connector posts near the right angle junction of the panel members link and support these panel members to a non-load-bearing intersection member, usually having a rectangular cross section. An upper intersection flange is mounted atop the intersection member and the flange has a downwardly extending segment for overlapping engagement with the U-shaped bracket of each connector post. A lower intersection flange is affixed to the intersection post at a height for engagement with a connector post aperture. An advantage of the present invention is that the load of both panels and ancillary structures, such as shelves, is supported by beam-like connector posts. Half-width hooks or tangs or double-width slots in each post accommodate supported structures in a manner such that weight is transmitted vertically downwardly and without a lateral force component, as is typical in the prior art.

FIG. 21 is a perspective view of a four panel junction indicated by arrow D of FIG. 1. FIG. 22 is a perspective view of the upper portion of a connector post employed in the apparatus of the present invention and a broken away portion of a pair of adjacent brackets and fixtures having adjacent pairs of hooks fitting into slots within the post. FIG. 23 is a perspective view of a single connector post, with a panel and fixture mounted thereto. FIG. 24 is a side cutaway view showing insertion of a fixture bracket into slots within a post. With reference to FIG. 1, a member of panel connections are shown. Arrow A indicates a panel-to-panel connection with the panel members 31 disposed in a straight line arrangement, the most common arrangement in modular wall panel assemblies. From a distance, the panels appear to be joined at a small seam 33. In actuality, the panels are separated slightly to allow brackets to slip into the seam 33. The brackets may be used to support a desk, a cabinet or a shelf. Arrow B indicates a junction of two panel members 31 at right angles to each other. An intersection post 35 is used as a means for permitting angular dispositions. Arrow C shows an intersection post 35 at the junction of three panel members 31. Finally, Arrow D indicates a junction of four panel members. Each panel member 31 which has an end not linked to another panel member or an intersection post 35 has an edge piece 37. Metal guards 39 at the bottom of each panel member protect any wiring and contribute to the aesthetically pleasing nature of the panel assembly. Cover pieces 41 are connected by quick connect and disconnect fasteners, such as Velcro pads, to the top edge of each panel member 31. Velcro is a registered trademark for fabric fasteners. FIGS. 2 through 5 illustrate a connector post 43 which is used to link a panel member 31 to a second panel member, an intersection member 35, or an edge piece 37. The connector post 43 is a vertically slotted metallic post supported on an adjustable foot 45. The foot is affixed to a bolt 47 which is threaded into a foot fastener 49 in the leg 51 of the connector post. The leg 51 has a pedestal 55 which may serve as the area of rest in situations in which a foot 45 is not desirable. Light shields 53, shown in FIGS. 2, 3 and 5, are disposed along the length of the connector post 43. The light shields 53 block light from traversing the post after entry into vertical slots provided in the post. The U-shaped bracket 57 mounted atop the connector post 43 is a critical feature of the wall panel system. The bracket 57 has opposed upwardly extending inner surfaces 59, 61 over which an upper connector flange, not shown, of a panel member extends. Thus, it is the U-shaped brackets 57 which join adjacent panel members together by allowing them to hang from a connector post. Connector post apertures 63 in the side walls of the connector post are aligned to engage lower connector flanges, not shown. After an upper and a lower connector flange have been placed onto a connector post, a washer and screw securing arrangement is employed to secure the engagement of the U-shaped bracket and the upper connector flange. FIG. 2 shows that the screw 65 passes through the washer 67 and is threaded into the bracket fastener 69. The connection between a panel member 31 and a connector post 43 will be described in greater detail below. Each side wall of a connector post 43 has a number of drill holes 71. These drill holes are used only when a connector post must be linked to an edge piece 37 at the start or end of a wall panel assembly. As can be seen in FIG. 6, wood screws 73 secure the edge piece 37 to a connector post 43. The drill holes 71 are positioned to allow the wood screws 73 to fit into edge piece holes 74. The edge piece 37 and all other edge bandings are made of wood. Typically, the edge bandings are constructed of oak, walnut or mahogany. The height of the edge piece 37 is at least as great as the connector post and the edge piece is recessed to fit over the post. However, the depth of the recess does not permit the edge piece to cover the vertical slots 75. The linear array of vertical slots 75 along the connector post is left exposed so that the slots may be used to support the brackets, not shown, of cabinets, shelves, files, or desks in cantilever fashion. Such brackets have hooks or tangs which fit into the slots. The hooks are half-width, or slightly less, or alternatively the slots are double width, so that two side-by-side tangs can occupy one slot. This allows left and right ends of adjacent structures, such as shelves, to receive vertical support from a common post, as will be explained in greater detail with reference to FIGS. 22-24. FIGS. 7-9 illustrate a planar connection of two panel members 31. The panel members each have an upper connector flange 77 which engages an inner surface of the U-shaped bracket 57 in an overlapping manner. The configuration of the connector flanges can be seen more clearly with reference to FIGS. 10-11. The connector flange 77 has a flat segment 79 which is fastened atop a panel member through four screw holes 81. A fifth screw hole 83 indicates the positioning of the Velcro button 85 of FIG. 7. Connector flanges 77 have a downwardly extending segment 87. It is the downwardly extending segment which engages the inner surfaces of a U-shaped bracket 57. The segment 87 is comprised of two fingers 89 separated by a cut-away portion which facilitates passage of the washer and screw securing arrangement 65, 67. Lower connector flanges 91 are attached to the bottom board of panel frame 93. Wood screws 95 hold the upper and the lower connector flanges to the frame 93. The configuration of the lower connector flange 91 is identical to that of the upper flange 77. Downwardly extending segments 97 gravitationally lock the lower connector flanges into the connector post apertures 63. Thus, the panel members 31 are linked together merely by simultaneously lifting the upper connector flange 77 over the U-shaped bracket 57 and slipping the lower connector flange 91 into the connector post aperture 63. When the panel member is released, the downwardly extending segments 87,97 of the flanges anchor the panel member against the connector post. It is not critical that the securing arrangement comprise a screw 65 and a washer 67. Alternatively, the arrangement may be replaced by a custom screw having a large head or by a washer and screw which are spin-welded together. The washer 67 may be D-shaped at locations in which a connector post 43 partially fits into the recess of an edge piece 37, as shown in FIG. 6. A D-shaped washer is less likely to interfere with the connector post-edge piece connection. Plastic button glides 99 at the base of the panel members protect the base during shipping and assembly. The button glides are attached to channels 101 which span the base of the panel members to retain wiring cables, not shown. FIGS. 12-14 illustrate the linkage of two panel members at right angles to each other. A panel member 31 is anchored to a connector post 43. The upper connector flange 77 overlaps an inner surface of the U-shaped bracket 57 and a lower connector flange 91 slips into a connector post aperture 63. The connector post is joined to an intersection post 35 using the intersection flange 103 shown in FIG. 15. The intersection flange utilizes the same principles as the connector flanges 77, 91. An intersection flange has a flat segment 105 and at least two downwardly extending segments 107. The number of downwardly extending segments is determined by the number of connector posts 43 which must be joined to a particular intersection post 35. The downwardly extending segments 107 engage a U-shaped bracket 57 in the same way as a connector flange. FIGS. 16-17 illustrate an intersection flange 109 capable of engaging three connector posts. FIG. 18 shows an intersection flange 111 capable of joining four connector posts. The various intersection flanges 103, 109, 111, are metallic. The flat segment 105 contains screw holes 113 so that the flanges may be secured to a wood intersection post 35, with one screw also securing a Velcro button 85 at the top of the intersection post. A second intersection flange 103, identical to the first intersection flange, is affixed to the bottom of the intersection post 35. A downwardly extending segment of the second intersection flange slips into a connector post aperture 63 and gravitationally locks the two parts together. A washer and screw arrangement 65,67 holds the connector post 43 to the panel member 31 and to the intersection post 39. Focusing on FIG. 12, after final assembly none of the connecting hardware is visible. The start or end of a wall panel assembly is covered by the edge piece 37. Velcro buttons, not shown, at the bottom of a cover piece 41 match the Velcro buttons 85 of the upper connector flanges in order to cap each panel member. A metallic guard 39 is pressure fit against extrusions 115 and the base 117 of the panel member. An intersection post cover 119 is fastened to the intersection post 35 by any of a number of means. The cover 119 may be held to the intersection post by adhesive, screws, slots along the intersection post or by the vertical slots 75 of the connector post. A corner cap 121 screens the intersection flange 103 from view. FIG. 19 shows that the cover cap 121 consists of large upper section 123 and a lower section 124 having dimensions corresponding to the intersection post. The lower section 124 has a recess 126 for a Velcro button 128 positioned to converge with the Velcro button 85 of the intersection connector 103. A screw 130 passes through the Velcro button 128 and into the wooden corner cap 121. All of the edge banding is made of matching wood. The three panel intersection of FIG. 20 is much like a two panel intersection. Any given panel member 31 is linked to a connector post 43 by connector flanges 77, 91. The connector posts are joined to the intersection flanges 109 of the intersection post. The upper intersection flange 109 has three downwardly extending segments, one to fit each U-shaped bracket 57. The intersection post cover 132 is an unbent cover but is fastened in the same manner as the cornered post cover 119 in the two panel intersection arrangement of FIG. 12. FIG. 21 shows an intersection of four panel members 31. The upper intersection flange 111 has four downwardly segments with each segment overlapping an inner surface of a different U-shaped bracket 57. A lower intersection flange, not shown, also has four downwardly extending segments for engaging the apertures 63 of the connector posts 43. Once again, the connector posts 43 are attached to the panel members by means of connector flanges 77, 91. With reference to FIG. 22, upright post 125 is seen to have a vertical array of slots, including slots 127, 129, 131 and so on. These slots have a width dimension which is suitable for receiving two adjacent fixture bracket hooks 133 and 135. For example the width of a bracket slot may be on the order of slightly more than one-eighth inch wide. Each of the bracket hooks is on the order of slightly less than one-sixteenth inch wide. The two hooks will fit into a single slot. The height of each slot is approxiamtely one-half inch high. Hook 133 is associated with a fixture bracket 137 while hook 135 is associated with a fixture bracket 139. Each of these brackets has other downwardly extending hooks which serve to stabilize the bracket with respect to the post. For example, the pairs of hooks 143, 145; 147, 149; and 151, 153 are all pairs of adjacent hooks which fit into corresponding slots directly below slot 131 in connector post 125. Other members which resemble hooks, but do not have hook-like indentations, such as members, 155, 157 and 161, 163 fit into slots 165 and 167 for the purpose of stabilizing the brackets. The brackets 137 and 139 support respective furniture fixtures 136 and 138 in side-by-side relation, with the left hand edge of fixture 136, a shelf, abutting the right hand edge of fixture 138, another shelf member. The brackets 137, 139 are fastened to the undersides of the fixtures in a conventional shelf support manner. In FIG. 23, bracket 137 may be seen to be generally triangular in shape, with hooks and similar members fully inserted into connector post 125. Bracket 137 serves to cantilever a furniture fixture, such as shelf 169 directly adjacent to panel 171. A second adjacent bracket 139 of FIG. 22 is not shown, but such a bracket would be mounted adjacent to bracket 137 and have hooks fitting into the same slots as those of bracket 137. In FIG. 24, portions of brackets 137 and 139 are shown with respect to slots in connector post 125. In particuular, hooks 133, 145, 149, and 153 of bracket 137 are shown to be seated in respective slots. The construction of hooks may be seen with respect to bracket 139 where hook 135 is seen to have an upper 140 and a lower portion 142, with a vertical dimension which is longer than that of the elongate dimension of a slot. This construction for the uppermost hook, with the vertical hook dimension being about seven-eights of an inch, i.e. almost twice the vertical dimension of a slot, requires that the bracket be inserted with the upper bracket edge 144 almost vertical so that the upper hook portion 140 may be guided into slot 131. Once the upper portion is inserted into the slot, the bracket may be rotated in the direction of arrow head A and the lower portion 142 is pivoted into place. During this pivoting, hooks 143, 147 and 151 will be guided into place adjacent to hooks 145, 149 and 153 respectively. As the bracket is rotated, upon reaching insertion of the hooks into respective slots, the bracket drops slightly allowing downward facing indentations 152, 154, 156 and 158 to fall slightly downwardly, catching the bottom of each slot, thereby locking the bracket to the post. With two brackets mounted to each post, left and righthand edges of fixtures are mounted to a single post, in cantilever fashion, with weight transmitted downwardly through the post to a support surface. One of the benefits derived from the rotational disengagement method for brackets, described above, is that by changing the design of only one hook, the top one, the possibility of accidental bracket disengagement is eliminated. To remove a bracket, full upward rotation and outward pulling is required. Similarly, panels having edges mounted to the connector post, also transfer weight for direct vertical support by connector post. The slots shown in FIG. 24 may exist on front and back sides of a connector post so that fixtures may be supported from both sides of a post. Panel systems of the present invention are easy to assemble and aesthetically pleasing. More importantly, the single load-bearing connector posts between coplanar panels give the system unusual strength and stability. Patent Citations

Ashley, I am glad you like the names. The pronunciation of Amélie is somewhat between "mill" and "may", and it is rather difficult to explain and hard for some Americans to get the perfect pronunciation, but it is usually close to it. Odette and Camille are lovely, but are already used with close family. Isabelle and Charlotte are at the top of the "bilingual" list for us, I think that a easy translated name for the first name and a traditionally French name for her middle name. It is good to see someone to appreciate the French names, hopefully there are many of yourself
Merci beaucoup

De rien!
Hopefully you can find the perfect blend! I'm finding that a lot of Americans seem to be quite illiterate when it comes to anything French (and it seems like there's a movement taking Americans away from the beautiful French culture and more toward Spanish everything. There's nothing wrong with Spanish culture--I just wish more Americans appreciated French! It's such a beautiful language and culture. For what it's worth, I think Madeleine and Lise/Lisette would transition very well, also. Most Americans seem to prefer Madelyn or Madeline, but there are quite a few name nerds who truly love the French spelling, and it's high enough on the SSA list that I would assume people could figure it out.Ashley

The government has attributed the weakening of the rupee against the dollar in recent weeks to the reduced inflow into and occasional outflow of foreign portfolio investment from India's equity markets. This reduced foreign institutional investor (FII) interest has been explained by developments outside the country. Problems abroad, it is suggested, is forcing these institutions to sell their equity in India to meet commitments or cover losses at home. Hence, the exit.
There are two reasons why this argument is not convincing. First, since India's equity markets have been performing poorly in recent times, FIIs may have also chosen to exit to cut losses and move to more profitable locations. Second, even if FII inflows are down, aggregate net capital inflows to India have remained high, because of foreign direct investment and foreign debt. After the global crisis, these flows fell to a small $7.8 billion in 2008-09, but quickly bounced back to $51.8 billion in 2009-10 and $57.3 billion in 2010-11. Thus recent flows have been substantial, even if much below the exceptional peak in 2007-08. In any case they have been more than required to finance the country's current account deficits, resulting in an increase in foreign exchange reserves in most years. There is no reason to believe, therefore, that the inadequacy of capital flows could alone explain rupee's depreciation.
If developments on the balance of payments have to explain rupee depreciation, then the problem must be traced to the current account. There are two factors involved here. The first is that the merchandise trade deficit, or the excess of goods imports over goods exports has remained in the range of 8-9 per cent of GDP in recent years, excepting for crisis year 2008-09 when it rose sharply to 10.4 per cent (see accompanying Chart). Given the growth of GDP, this points to high absolute growth in the merchandise trade deficit as well. The second is that during this period India's receipts from what are termed "invisibles" have shrunk relative to the trade deficit. Most important among invisibles as contributors to India's foreign exchange receipts are exports of software and IT-enabled business services, on the one hand, and remittances or "personal transfers" from Indians working abroad. Earlier, these flows were adequate to finance much of the trade deficit, even after outflows on account of dividends and interest (which are also in the invisibles category). But since 2007-08, the ratio of net invisible receipts to the merchandise trade deficit has fallen from 83 per cent to 65 per cent in 2010-11. In sum, while India's trade deficit has risen more or less in proportion to GDP, invisible earnings have not kept pace, resulting in a doubling of the current account deficit to GDP ratio from 1.4 per cent in 2007-08 to 2.9 per cent in 2009-10 and 2010-11.
It is no doubt true that a rising current account deficit per se need not weaken the currency of a country, if access to capital inflows is adequate to finance the gap. That has indeed been true of India. But the difficulty is that India has by and large been a chronically deficit country on the current account, resulting in the fact that continuous inflows have been needed to finance that deficit. In sum, India has continuously "borrowed" to meet the excess of its annual foreign exchange expenditures over its revenues. It is indeed true that in India's case actual capital inflows have been more than needed to finance the current account deficit in most years, resulting in the accumulation of large reserves.
But for that reason these reserves are in the nature of "borrowed" reserves and therefore can be repatriated abroad at will, besides involving future payments commitments.
It is in this background that we should assess the effects of a slowdown in capital flows, especially through the FII route. That slowdown can be interpreted as evidence that India is losing its earlier favoured status in FII investment plans and may begin to experience a net capital outflow and a consequent reduction in foreign exchange reserves. The problem is that this trend reinforces itself. Net sales by FIIs generate uncertainties in India's thin and shallow stock markets, leading to a fall in stock indices that could accelerate the exit. This does exert downward pressure on the rupee. When this occurred recently, for a short period the RBI chose to let things be and not intervene in the foreign exchange market to shore up the rupee. The result was a slide in he value of the rupee that was aggravated by speculative holding of dollars by exporters and dealers, in the expectation of substantial depreciation. In the end the RBI had to intervene to stabilise the currency.
The point to note is that underlying all of this are two tendencies. One is the rising deficit on India's merchandise trade account. More recently, that deficit stood at $86 billion during the first two quarters (April-September) of financial year 2011-12, as compared with $69 billion in the corresponding period of 2010-11. The other is the sign that India's services exports are turning sluggish, reducing the neutralising effect of an important component of India's balance of payments. While its is true that net foreign exchange earnings from services increased from $22 billion to $31 billion between the two April to September periods noted above, the pace of growth of services exports has slowed. Growth in services exports (in dollar terms) at 17.1 per cent in the first two quarters of 2011-12 led mainly by software and telecommunications services, was substantially lower than the 32.7 per cent recorded in the first two quarters of 2010-11. The current account was shored up by the fact that that private transfers or remittances that had declined by 1.1 per cent during the first two quarters of 2010-11 rose by 18.8 per cent during April-September 2011-12, driven possibly by the depreciation of the rupee.
The message seems clear. India cannot continue to rest purely on the benefits it has hitherto derived from the exports of software and IT-enabled services. An effort to realize at least a part of the manufactured export competitiveness that liberalization was supposed to deliver, but did not, is crucial. This is particularly important because revenues from remittances or the export of labour services cannot be the mainstay of the balance of payments of a modern nation.

Violence Against Children in Europe: A preliminary review
In-depth research (and even official statistics) covering all forms of violence experienced by children is available for very few countries. Many forms of violence are suffered by children across Europe, but country specific data is critical to determine the extent to which states are meeting their human rights obligations to protect children effectively from all forms of violence, and for the proper development of child protection and preventive services and the targeting of resources to where they are most needed.

We caught up with Lauren at the Downy pop-up laundromat, where she revealed her new partnership with the fabric softener brand. Lauren's busy with many different endeavors between designing for her clothing line and unveiling her first-ever bedding collection for Kohl's, but we got a chance to chat with her at a press day in the Big Apple yesterday. Lauren told us about her fun upcoming Summer plans, her advice for staying grounded after achieving fame at a young age, and more. Read on for highlights from our sit-down with LC:
- On her fun Summer plans: "We're going to Nantucket for a week in July and you know it's really preppy there. I already had fun shopping for that trip. I have a bunch of dresses that I got, there's a lot of conversational pieces and fun colors."
- On keeping her bedroom cozy with her pups: "Honestly, for me a bedroom is made by the bedding. I like a lot of pillows on the bed; I like it to be really cozy with soft fabrics and not too fussy. My old duvet cover was silk and it was dry clean only. It was a light color and I felt like I was always being really careful on the bed and once one of the pups jumped up, there would be little paw prints. So I kind of like no-fuss, really pretty, really romantic bedding."
- Her advice for staying grounded after achieving fame early on: "I have awesome friends so that really made a difference for me. That is the difference I see with working in the industry and living in LA, it's really surrounding yourself with good people."
- How she stays chic during the hot days of Summer: "In the Summer, I mostly live in a really easy A-line dress; I love just a pleated cotton dress. That is my Summer wardrobe."

Promise the Night
A Novel
From the critics
Community Activity
Add a CommentBeryl is a willful girl, brash and headstrong. And it is young Beryl Markham to whom the reader is first introduced, although intercalary chapters give brief glimpses of her adult days as an aviatrix.
Growing up in the part of Africa that is now Kenya, Beryl learns warrior skills from the Nandi tribesmen who are her neighbors. Experiences she has with the indigenous Africans include wrestling, lion hunting, and jumping as high as her head.
Beryl values the freedom, bravery, and strength she develops while working with the Nandi; her father, however, is concerned that she will be ostracized from proper British society. His solution is to send her to a boarding school in Nairobi, where Beryl learns that girls, like lions, are dangerous creatures. She stays at the institution for a year before declaring her independence in a spectacular fashion, quitting the school moments before the headmistress declares her expelled.
This biographical narrative tracks the upbringing of a strong adventuress, with enough quick looks into her flying exploits to elicit interest in reading more about her.

When It Comes to Beauty Products, What Do You Prefer?

I am most definitely willing to pay for 50 dollar lip gloss. And anything else that is equally as ridiculous. I treated my face so badly throughout my teenage years. Started wearing makeup at 12 or 13. I would sleep with makeup on sometimes, apply it even if my skin/eyes were irritated, and I had this nervous habit of absentmindedly picking at any small blemish on my face until it became a much bigger bloody scab. I didn't even have acne. Any small bump that would appear, I would pick. PLUS I was/am a smoker... Which means less oxygen getting to your skin cells, and faster wrinkles.
Translation: I need the best products on the market!

THerre are sum things tht are worth paying like 40$ for but somet hings that r not.

I use pricey skin-care products (Biotherm) and I have a mixture of different brands of makeup. My concealer is Wet n' Wild, eyeshadow from Smashbox, lip gloss from Dior...@_@

Skin care products and make-up are the only things I really splurge on. I've tried the cheaper stuff but have yet to find anything I like as well as the pricier stuff.

I used all drugstore stuff in high school/college. Then I used all high end stuff for years (except my Loreal Lineur Intense). Now, I'm starting to come back around to some of the drugstore stuff.
Also, there's a line made for makeup artists called La Femme that is SUPER cheap but really great quality. Its hard to find in stores, though. But, its so cheap you can buy different stuff online and its not such a big deal if a color doesn't work out for you.

9 Tax-Related Myths About Selling Your Home

I have lived in my current home in Philadelphia for fourteen years: my entire adult life, more or less. In that time, I've stored up a whole houseful of memories. I have hosted Thanksgiving dinners in my dining room and cocktail parties on my porch. I brought my children home from the hospital to banners and balloons stretched across my front door.

Last Friday, she bought Dr. Seuss paper hats, put together activity books and helped the kids make truffula tree bookmarks – all in honor of Dr. Seuss' birthday (it was the inspiration for my Seussical tax poem). I can't imagine how much it costs her. And yet, she does it year after year because she loves her …

As Hollywood tries to grapple with the impact of new-media platforms, two major studios -- 20th Century Fox and Lions Gate -- are looking for new media agencies, and a third, MGM, this summer switched its $90 million account to RPA after hiring Palisades Media in March.
