Click any word in a definition or example to find the entry for that word
1. a pattern on a sandy beach, made as a form of natural art
2. a landscape (=an area of land that is beautiful to look at) formed from a beach, desert, etc
'… designed in particular with sandscapes in mind, "BeachBot" is a fully autonomous turtle robot with the ability to draw giant sketches in the sand that would rival Donatello or even Michaelangelo.'Science Times 13th January 2015
'More than mere beaches, sandscapes are a range of features from barren sand bars to dune habitats that support plant and animal communities.'US National Park Service 2015
Childhood memories of trips to the seaside – plodding onto the beach brandishing bucket and spade – building vast constructions (some more successful than others depending on the 'quality' of the sand and the skill of the builders) – revelling in the finished creation – watching its gentle erosion into oblivion over subsequent hours of paddling and picnicking … Sand has long fascinated us as an amateur building material – there's something rather serene about its temporariness, knowing that our creations won't be around for too long, soon to be replaced by the equally ephemeral creations of others. And in recent times, the artistic phenomenon of the sandscape takes this tranquil creativity to a whole new, breathtakingly beautiful level.
the word sandscape is now used to refer to a type of art where sandy beaches form a natural blank canvas onto which huge patterns are etched
The word sandscape is now used to refer to a type of art where sandy beaches form a natural blank canvas onto which huge patterns are etched, usually lines and swirls which create intricate, stunning geometric designs. The concept is best explained by illustration, as in for example the wonderful sandscape image shown here.
The word sandscape hit the media spotlight in early 2015 when Cornish artist Chris Howarth took to the beach with a rake and experimented in the sand to create what he described as 'temporary graffiti'. The result was a series of mesmerising patterns on his local beaches which the public were able to enjoy until the tide came in and washed them away. Howarth took inspiration from UK 'sand artist' Tony Plant, whose equally stunning creations are exemplified in this article. Howarth and Plant create these amazing patterns by hand, but as the appeal of this kind of artwork broadens, there's a growing interest in developing automatic devices to produce it, such as Disney Research's turtle shaped BeachBot (check out the video here to see it in action).
As well as referring to an art form, the term sandscape is also often used to refer to any natural landscape consisting of sandy terrains.
The word landscape first appeared in English around 1600, and is derived from Dutch landscap, which literally translates as 'land condition'. The independent use of the form -scape as a combining element is older than you might think, with evidence dating as far back as the late 1700s. -scape can be said to mean something like 'denoting the specified type of scene' (so e.g. winterscape is a winter scene, nightscape a scene at night, etc) and has emerged as a relatively productive suffix. The word moonscape first appeared in the 1920s, and more recently we've seen soundscape (the sounds in a particular location which as a whole create a certain atmosphere), lightscape (lights as distributed across a particular vista, or the artistic arrangement of them within a specific venue) and even potscape (an artistic arrangement of flowers and shrubs planted in pots, containers etc).

Chapter One: Safety
Yup I know. Reposted, but hey... lol I accidently deleted this so I am sooooo sorry to everyone who was reading this before!
The couple in here is Yugi/Serenity... I just think they would be so cute together!
Meet Yugi, the golden child of Domino. Meet Serenity, Joey's
little sister, who recieves nightly beatings. Yugi and Serenity have
become really good friends, but they each harbor feelings more than a
simple friendship. How will the gang react and will they accept the new romance?
Yugi Moto jerks awake as lightening crawls across the night sky. He puts a hand over his racing heart and then jumps as he hears a faint knocking coming from downstairs. He looks at his clock and realizes it is only one o'clock in the morning. He tosses back his covers and turns on his lamp before getting up to walk downstairs. Yugi opens the door and a girl with red hair falls against his chest. He catches her as she shivers and he closes the door. Yugi leads her into the kitchen and sits her down in a chair. Her beautiful auburn hair is plastered to her head from the rain and her soothing hazel eyes look at Yugi gratefully, as he hands her a towel. Yugi goes to make some warm tea as he takes another quick look at the girl. Fading bruises cover her cheek and pale skin. Dark circles ring her eyes, even as the tell tale redness suggests she has been crying.
"Do you need to stay here again?" She nods as her eyes fill with tears again.
Yugi sits down across from her and she takes him in, a faint blush spreading across her cheeks. His spiky tri-colored hair is still messed up from his sleep, and his sweet amethyst eyes regard her as she wipes her face.
"Thanks Yugi." He blushes slightly.
"It's no problem, what happened this time?"
"He tried… Well he was drunk and I was sleeping in my bed dreaming about…" At this she blushes as she recalls her dream about Yugi. "… Well I was dreaming. He came in and… and…" Yugi stands up and pulls her into a comforting hug while she cries.
"Your safe now." She nods and then jumps as thunder booms. Yugi grins as she giggles and relaxes.
"You must think I am…" Yugi blushes as he realizes he is still holding onto her.
"Not at all. Are you going to be alright?" She nods her head and blushes as she feels those familiar butterflies in her stomach.
Yugi pulls away from her, hating that he nearly forgot who she was. The teakettle lets out a whistle and Yugi finishes making the tea. He hands her a cup before draping a thick blanket around her shaking shoulders. Their eyes meet briefly as Yugi sits out a third mug and then a plate of cookies. The two giggle and then look over at the door as another knock is heard. Yugi opens the door and smiles, as he sees his best friend.
"Is everything alright now Joey?" The blonde duelist nods as he walks into the kitchen and hugs his sister.
"Thanks Yug. Is it alright if Serenity stays here?" Yugi nods and holds back a laugh as Joey attacks the plate of cookies.
"Of course, but where are you going to stay?" Yugi sits down and casts a sideways glance at Serenity, who quickly looks away.
"With Tristan. I don't want him seeing Serenity like this." Yugi nods even as a faint blush crosses his cheeks.
Joey stands up and pulls his sister into a tight embrace before walking out the door. Yugi locks it behind him and then turns back around to find Serenity watching him shyly. Their eyes meet and Yugi is surprised to find Serenity blushing, before she looks down, allowing her hair to hide her face.
"Serenity?" Yugi walks over to her and gently tilts her face up so she is looking at him.
"Are you ok?" She nods and then meets his gaze.
"Yugi… I'm fine…" He nods and then reluctantly steps back from her.
"Ok, well if you're sure?"
She nods as she walks up the stairs and crawls into the spare bed. Yugi crawls into his own bed and turns out the light and closes his eye, drifting off into a sleep filled with dreams of the timid red head, and a chance at something he might never have.
You know the drill! Hit the purple button!

In the final edition of CJ's Corner for this season, I'll look ahead at the key questions and issues that the team faces in the off-season and into next preseason.
1. Will he stay or will he go?
Josh Childress' decision on whether to make himself eligible for the NBA draft will not only have a huge impact on the team's success next season, but will also have a big impact on how the staff and players prepare for the 2004-05 season.
I won't beat around the bush on the subject of what Childress' return means for next season. I see the Cardinal as a Top 10 team next season if Childress dons the Cardinal and White again. A starting lineup including Chris Hernandez, Childress, Matt Haryasz and Rob Little will be excellent. The biggest questions will be the starting assignment and rotation at the shooting guard and whether the Card will have sufficient outside shooting and post depth to approach the regular season success it had this past season. If Childress leaves early for the NBA, I see Stanford being roughly a bubble team, one that will struggle to finish in the top 4 in the Pac-10. How can one player mean that much? That's easy. Childress is good enough to compete for national player of the year honors next season. He is the one player on Stanford's roster who can create his own offense and cause mismatches, he's arguably Stanford's best rebounder, and he'd be the only player on the roster other than Hernandez who can shoot the three consistently. Stanford will be shorthanded next year even if Childress returns. His absence would leave Stanford's bench thinner and greener than it has been in many years.
2. The Off Guard Position.
Clear starters are apparent at four of the five positions next season. Hernandez will man the point, Childress (or if he leaves early, Nick Robinson) will play the three, Haryasz will start at the four and Little will anchor the center spot. Here's how I see the leading candidates for the starting off-guard position:
- Nick Robinson: If Childress returns for his senior season, it will be tempting to start "Pops" alongside him at the other wing position. A number of factors make Robinson an attractive option. First, he is the most seasoned of the candidates and faces a minimal learning curve, even though he has spent considerable time in previous seasons playing at the power forward position (which is much different from the two) and at the small forward position (which is similar to the two). Robinson is an excellent defender, and his athleticism and length can frustrate opposing wings. He is equally capable of playing man-to-man defense or the 1-1-3. One drawback with Robinson's game is that he is a reluctant shooter from deep, whose confidence in his shot appears not to have caught up with his actual results, which are not bad (especially compared to the other candidates for the starting off-guard spot). Perhaps the bigger obstacle to Robinson playing at off guard is that he may be needed even more elsewhere.
- Fred Washington: Fred has the potential to be one of the best wing defenders Stanford has ever had. His ability to stick with defenders through screens was excellent for a freshman, and he has a knack for playing the passing lanes and generating turnovers. Washington does, however, need to strike the right balance between cheating into passing lanes and playing sound positional defense. The guess here is that Washington continues to improve in this area and, if given the opportunity to start or at least play significant minutes, will be excellent in both the man-to-man and 1-1-3 defenses. On the offensive end, Washington brings a developing ability to break down a defense and create. If Washington's outside shot continues to improve, he will be hard to keep out of the starting lineup.
- Tim Morris: Morris is a wildcard here. He has outstanding athleticism (similar to Washington) and an ability to break down defenders. He can handle the ball (and play some point guard). Morris is also an excellent defender. The problematic part of Morris' game is his jumper. To be blunt, I think Morris needs major work on his shot, and not just a lot of reps. If the staff is unable to diagnose the problem, Morris needs to work with a good shooting coach in the off-season. If he gets his shot in order, Morris could challenge for the starting spot and be a rising star. If his shot continues to be a liability, defenders are likely to cheat off him so much that his strengths (his ability to break down defenders and slash) will be negated.
- Dan Grunfeld: Grunfeld showed well in preseason practices this past Fall, but never put it all together in game situations. Grunfeld appeared to lose confidence in his shot, and he seemingly had as many airballs as makes from beyond the arc. Regaining his confidence will be key, because despite trying at times, Grunfeld has proven unable to put the ball on the floor effectively against decent opponents, picking up turnovers and having his shot blocked far too frequently on forays to the paint. On the defensive end, Grunfeld's lack of quickness has made him vulnerable to being beaten off the dribble. Some Booties have argued that Grunfeld has experienced some of the same struggles that such predecessors as Matt Lottich, David Moseley and others experienced in their first two seasons on The Farm. While it is fair to point out that others have shown considerable improvement into their Junior and Senior campaigns, I do not see the upside in Grunfeld that I did in the other shooting guards that others cite. I see Dan as a very valuable reserve who can and should regain his shooting touch and provide a deep threat off the bench.
3. Outside Shooting
If Childress returns, he and Hernandez should provide just enough outside shooting to give the Cardinal a perimeter attack and keep defenses somewhat honest. That's a best case scenario. Stanford's other wings have not yet demonstrated that they can shoot consistently from beyond the arc, and if Childress leaves, the Card will be left without a proven shooter at either wing spot. Robinson was barely north of 30% from deep on the season, and he seemed to grow increasingly reluctant to shoot as the season wore on, despite having a decent stroke. Grunfeld's shooting percentage was in the twenties, and he may have trouble getting his shot off consistently because defenders do not fear his ability to put the ball on the floor and can get up into him. Washington and Morris may have better opportunities to shoot because defenders will have to respect their slashing abilities. If one or two out of this group can emerge as a shooter, it will take considerable pressure off the offense. If not, Stanford is going to struggle to score, because a lack of outside shooting allows defenses to take pack it in, double the post, and limit slashing opportunities.
4. Post Depth
It is possible that Robinson could see significant minutes at the four if Childress returns, thereby alleviating some of the problems with depth in the post. On the other hand, if Pops is needed at small forward, Stanford will have very little experience and depth at the four and five spots next season. Freshman Peter Prowitt has the size and bulk to contribute minutes from the outset, although he obviously faces a steep learning curve. Fellow frosh Taj Finger faces that same learning curve, but he is less developed physically than is Prowitt. Finger is expected to work out during the off-season using a program designed by John Murray, and his ability to add weight and strength will be key to how much he can contribute, particularly on the defensive end. Nevertheless, Finger brings significant skills to the offensive end. Evan Moore may be relied on to provide significant minutes off the bench at the four, and he showed real promise in very limited minutes this past season.
5. Okay, so what the heck will Robinson's role be, anyway?
Beats me. Seriously; about the only thing that's clear now is that if Childress leaves early, Robinson will start at the small forward position. If Stanford's All-American comes back, you could make a case for Robinson to start at the two alongside Childress or even at the four (if Montgomery would prefer to have Haryasz backup both the four and five spots, creating a three man rotation in the post). On the other hand, Robinson could come off the bench as a backup at the wings and/or the four. On a team that will be short two to three scholarship players, Robinson may become even more valuable next year than he was this year.
6. How will the offense change?
If Childress is back, I would not expect radical changes to the offense. Montgomery may emphasize the high-low game more, to take advantage of Haryasz' exceptional shooting ability and even his ability to put the ball on the floor from the high post. Without Lottich at the two, you can expect fewer plays designed to spring our off guards for spot up jumpers from deep. Montgomery may continue the trend away from set plays and further emphasize the motion offense. Nevertheless, I would be surprised if the changes to the offense are anything but subtle. If Childress departs, the extreme dearth of shooting may force a more radical approach on offense.
7. Recruiting
Stanford has the maximum five scholarships available to offer to the class of 2005. The staff was off to an excellent start in recruiting prior to the NCAA tournament, with interest from an unprecedented number of top 100 recruits. It remains to be seen how severely the Card's early departure from the tournament will impact its recruiting momentum. On the one hand, the program was the focus of tremendous positive publicity over the course of the entire winter, and many of Stanford's rivals in the this year's recruiting battles, most notably UCLA and Arizona, had down years. Stanford is on the track of several prized recruits from the Midwest, and such programs of interest as Indiana, Marquette and Notre Dame failed even to make the dance. On the other hand, a third consecutive early departure from the tournament may have hurt Stanford's image. Recruiting will heat up in the coming weeks, and we won't have to wait long for answers.

Growing up too soon
Hey. I'm Tony. I'm 13 and used to live in Newmarket, Ontario, with my single mom, Barbra and my little sister, Amy, who's 12. Dad wanted to leave as soon as he found out mom was pregnant and she didn't want to have an abortion, but she also wanted him to stick around. She begged him to stay at least until I was born, and he accepted. "But only until then." Jerk. So, the moment I was born, he ditched the hospital and got in his car, leaving us there. We took the bus home after mom was allowed to come home, and guess what she found? Dad with some other girl kissing on his and mom's bed. Mom was so mad that she yelled at him to get out and that she was happy to be rid of him. So he and the random girl left and never came back. Mom cried a lot, or so she said when she told me the story, and apparently, dad had been cheating before then. But then, one night, dad came back, contradictory to what mom said earlier, telling mom he was sorry and he hoped that they could make it work. It worked for about a month, then Mom got pregnant again, and dad was all, "Another one?" He didn't even want me, so you can expect his rage when he found out. That's when he really left and this time for good. Amy was born without dad, and I grew up looking after her while mom worked. We had a babysitter a lot, but none ever stayed long. My favourite was Troy, a guy who was 13 at the time. He started taking care of us when I was 3 and Amy was 2. He just stuck, and mom kept him as a sitter. As we got older, Amy and I saw less and less of Troy, but he remained a good friend.
Well, enough about the past. Long past, anyway. A few months ago, mom caught pneumonia. She didn't get better for awhile, and before long, she was in bed almost all day every day. The doctor visited a lot, but nothing helped. Being bedridden and all, mom had Amy and I doing her chores for her, like cleaning up the house and getting groceries. But there was one trip to the grocery store I'll never forget.
It was a Sunday, like any Sunday, and Amy and I were going to the grocery store like we always do on Sundays. We took our usual way there, past Old Man Mandrake's house, through the Forest of Eliza and over the Bridge of Pim. Old Man Mandrake is the scary man who supposedly throws rocks at little kids when they step on his lawn, even by accident, or so I've heard. The forest and the bridge aren't actually called those things; they're just what Amy and I call them to make it more exciting. We also say that there's a mean old troll who lives under the bridge, but Amy always sings her to sleep so we can pass by safely when we go. Amy wants to be a singer when she grows up, and she's really good, but that's beside the point. So anyway, when we got to the store, we saw Troy, who then worked as a cashier. We stopped and chatted for a bit, then showed him our shopping list. We had almost all of our items; just 2 left, and Troy told us that our items were at the back. He got them for us and rung our items up. Handing me my favourite box of cereal to put in the bag, he had a funny look on his face. I distinctly remember him asking how we were going to eat cereal without milk. I realized then that we had forgotten it, so as I continued bagging our items, Troy got the milk for us. "Don't tell my boss," he whispered, winking and dropping the carton into the bag. We thanked him, said our goodbyes and left.
We walked home a way we had never gone before, just for some added thrill, and discovered a park and a public pool that we had never seen before. We got lost a few times, trying to find our way back on the right route, and before long we were back on our street. Amy and I walked in quietly in case mom was sleeping and began unloading the groceries. When we were done, we walked into mom's room to let her know we were back. She likes to know we got home safely, so we went knocked and went in.
"Mom?" Amy called. "We're home!" Mom didn't move. That was funny; she usually woke up when Amy or I called her. "Mom?" Amy said again, coming up next to her. No response. I checked mom's pulse and breathing and leaped back. None of either. "Get me the phone!" I yelled at Amy, who ran and got it for me. I dialed 9-1-1 and told them, and the ambulance was there very quickly. Amy was crying and I was hugging her close, telling her mom would be okay.
Right before we went out of the ambulance, one of the paramedics called us back before any of them left. His sad voice will remain in my mind forever. "I'm sorry, kids. She's gone."
Mom was an only child, and her parents were dead. All of her friends lived in the States and only visited on rare occasions. (Thank god for e-mail) This left us with no potential guardians.
And just like that, Amy and I were orphans.
And that's how we ended up at the foster home.

Chapter13 (v.1)
Chapter 13
Fuck this, I can't sleep!! I'm just gonna check my email, see what's going on.
"What the...!?" An email from Chris. AGAIN. Why do you keep bothering me?? I don't want to open and read it, I might cry again. But, what if he filed an annulment already? What if...ok, it's worth a try.
It IS the usual crap. His litany of "...I am so lost without you, that I'm his one true love, that if I come back he will straighten out things.." Well, talk about being consistent. I always receive emails from him twice a week. I never reply. I am attempted to change my email address, but deep down, I honestly admit that I am happy to receive these from Chris.
Why does he have to be married? If the roles were reversed with Pinky, what will I do? I don't know. Why does he look for someone else and not be satisfied with her? Why me, of all people? Are all men polygamous? We are my grandpa's second family, my grandma was his girlfriend, but he never left his wife. My dad always has "sidelines", he gets caught by ME most of the time. But my dad never leaves my mom, my mother says she is my dad's true love. But why do men do that?
One named popped in my mind. Mark Medwick. I closed my email, and googled his name. Holy moly!! This guy is rich.
'Owns Medwick Luxury Jets.'
Another article says, 'MW Vineyards – top rated wines for 20 years by Medwick family.'
Ok, that is his family, but what about him? Oh, here, it reads, 'Mark Medwick opens Luxury Travel agency in San Francisco'.
Was he married before? Let me see, "Wikipedia...Mark Medwick"...there!!
'Mark Philippe Brown Medwick, youngest son of Philanthropist Evan Medwick and renowned painter Marilyn Brown-Medwick.'
So he is the youngest, that's why he's a spoiled hunky jerk. Has 2 elder brothers, no sister. What's this...he owns a what in New York?? A condominium tower?? "...other real estate properties includes 2 commercial buildings, a few retail and office spaces.."
Ok, that's enough. I am no match with this guy. I think he could even pay off my country's World Bank debt!! Well, not really, but...wow! Good looking and handsomely rich jerk. Wait, there's no mention of any girlfriend or wife. Let me see images...
Whoa...!! Tons of pictures with models, heck, he even dated Chloe Sevigny and Rosario Dawson?! Well, at least, no discrimination there. Yup, what is he gonna do with me? Play with me like a bouncing ball?? God, he is handsome. Hmm, he's 32, four years older than me. Nice, I like the age difference. But why will he date me? Looks like he dated an 18 year old model in one of these pictures, and so I am an old hag already. Oh, well, one can dream.
Good thing I'm off tomorrow. It's gonna be a sunny Saturday, I guess I'll just walk around the neighborhood. I'm gonna bring my camera for sure.
Wow, it is a good day today. Good thing I wore my spaghetti strap blue dress, though I'm not quite happy about my half boots. I'll wear my hair down today. Oh, and I also did my eyes. I've been practicing this cat-eye look, today's the day to showcase it. I'd better walk to the park and take some pictures there.
"Excuse me, miss. Miss, wait!!" Someone tapped my shoulders.
"Who the..?!" I turned around and I could not believe my eyes. MARK MEDWICK. My eyes widened, my mouth was hanging open for what it seems like an eternity. This Adonis wants to talk to me!!!

As it often happens, one stumbles upon a story by chance. While going through a stack of old portraits of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle editorial staff, I happened upon a portrait of a young woman, Mary Sandsted Igoe, a society reporter for the newspaper. Encased in a passe-partout freckled with age, the portrait was remarkable in more than one way. To start with, it was the only portrait of a woman in the whole stack. Other images were studio portraits of venerable gentlemen in formal suits, with grave countenances and carefully groomed moustaches. Mary Sandsted Igoe seemed incapable of proper modelling for a portrait. Her bobbed hair mussed, her posture less than perfect, her arms bare, her mouth slightly open, her direct and curious gaze straight into the lens of the camera -- all these things defy the conventions of a formal studio portrait. But what stopped me in my tracks was the caption: "Mary Sandsted Igoe, 1917-1925. Reporter, society editor and manager of the Paris Bureau during the World War. Died July 16, 1925". I had to find out more.
Mary Sandsted Igoe. (Brooklyn Public Library -- Brooklyn Collection.)
The years 1917-1925 signify Mary Sandsted's engagement with Brooklyn's most influential daily paper of the day. Mary E. Sandsted was a native Brooklynite, who graduated from Girls' High School in 1912 (with honors in English, American history and civics, physical geography and Latin) and then from the Teachers' College. She taught in school for three years before joining the Eagle staff. After a short stint as a reporter, she was dispatched to the paper's Paris Bureau.
The Brooklyn Daily Eagle's Paris Bureau offices at 53 rue Cambon.
It was July 1918. Less than a year prior, the American Expeditionary Forces joined the British and the French in the battles of the Great War. We know it now as World War I, but it had not been numbered yet, it was known as the World War, the Great War and it became the pivotal point of the entire history of the modern world. Young Mary Sandsted, age 25, found herself in immediate proximity to the bloodiest war yet known to the humanity.
Guy C. Hickok, the Paris Bureau Chief. (Brooklyn Public Library -- Brooklyn Collection.)
A well-respected journalist Guy C. Hickok who had distinguished himself for the "thoroughness of his investigations and brilliance of his writing" was appointed the Chief of Paris Bureau. He was expected to go straight to the front line to send dispatches on the" Brooklyn boys in the battle line". His wife Mary Hickok stayed in the Bureau. Miss Mary E. Sandsted had been already in place and she took active charge in the Bureau's work in Paris.
Reading room at the Paris Bureau office.
Her main job was, of course, journalism. The Brooklyn Daily Eagle features several long pieces (with long titles -- one on German propaganda was called "Wasn't Fritz a Jolly Brick to Send Us Over Such a Bully Funny Sheet', Say the Sammies") but the bulk of her writing consists of a collection of dispatches about individual Brooklyn "doughboys" to those who were anxiously waiting for any news about their loved ones across the Atlantic. That was the era when the only means of instant communication were telephones and cables. Both were unavailable for most of the military personnel, especially for those who were wounded and convalescing in hospitals. The only source of regular news for ordinary citizens was newspapers.
These dispatches, signed simply "Sandsted", seem so mundane and dry today, but they were a lifeline and a comfort for the families and friends of the soldiers.
"Lt. Harry Smith of 5919 Fourth Ave.…has fully recovered from a gas attack and is ready to return to the fighting front". Or: "The Rev. M.M. Amunson of the First Church of Christ, Sterling Pl. and Seventh Ave., who is doing Y.M.C.A. work at the front ... sent the Bureau a story of a Halloween celebration in which 25 Brooklyn boys were guests" and attaches a list of names and addresses. Or: "23 Brooklyn Sgts Are Made Lieutenants", again with names and addresses. Or: "Lieutenant W.F. Barnaby, 91 East 18th Street ... writes that he is anxious about his family, fearing that some members of it may have been victims of B.R.T. accident". Or; "William Kuhn Jr., of 28 Arion Pl. ... acknowledges receipt of long delayed money order". And many, many more like these, several times a week.
Mary Sandsted and other bureau staff turned the office at 53 Rue Cambon into a home away from home. It was known as "La Maison Brooklyn", to all American military personnel who passed through Paris at the time, especially for those from Brooklyn.
A party at the Paris Burea offices.
Accounts like these pepper the Eagle of the day:
"The warmest words of praise for Miss Mary Sandsted, who has charge of The Eagle's Paris Bureau, are brought to America by James A. Lamb of 513 Park pl., a Knights of Columbus secretary, who was three times invalided to hospitals for shrapnel wounds, shell shock and gassed lungs. Miss Sandsted's work for wounded soldiers in the hospitals around Paris have endeared her to everyone she attended. Americans, and especially Brooklyn men, have nothing but the highest praise for the typically American girl who distributed flowers and aids in the reception of many of the wounded men from the front. Her bureau in Paris is a rendezvous for American soldiers visiting Paris".
Or this letter to the editor from Jennie F. Walsh, "mother of Bugler Harry C. Walsh":"Today I received from Miss Mary Sandsted of your Paris Bureau a picture of my son's grave in France, together with a letter that only a girl like Mary Sandsted could write – a girl who has given to her country, her paper and her boys from Brooklyn the very best that was in her. Almost two years ago, the Red Cross promised me the pictures of the grave, and this little girl without fuss or asking, after only three weeks since her visit to the grave, sends me the pictures that my heart has hungered for."
She not only sewed their buttons and shared meals with them, he sent cables home for them, she helped them get in touch with old friends, she shopped for them, and she also visited the wounded in hospitals. The Eagle published a long and somewhat rhapsodic essay by Corp. John Black titled "Somebody Paid Me a Visit":
Excerpted from the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, May 11, 1919. Read the full article here.
Once the war was over, Mary Sandsted went back to Brooklyn. Upon return, she announced her engagement to one of the officers she had met in France, Mr. E. Harold Igoe, of Yonkers. A wedding reception was given to her by the newspaper's management in the Eagle auditorium, to which "all those parents and boys which whom she has come in contact [in Paris] were invited."
In 1920 Mary Sandsted, along with the Bureau Chief, Guy C. Hickok, was recognized by the French government for her work for the troops during the war. She was also awarded a gold medal by the Kings County American Legion.
In the peacetime, Mary Sandsted Igoe continued her work at the Eagle as a society columnist. The young woman who just recently ministered to the wounded and the grieving effortlessly switched to covering the latest fashions from Paris; the charms of the French capital and what Brooklyn could learn from it; New Year's Eve dance parties; mahjongg; and all the hot destinations in Brooklyn and New York.
Yet the war never really lets one go: on Memorial Day of 1920, Mary visited the graves of the fallen Americans and placed wreaths on 53 graves of the borough soldiers in France.
And then, on July 17, 1925, tragedy struck: Mary Sandsted Igoe died two days after delivering twin boys.
All major local newspapers published tributes to the writer from the rival publication. Her funeral was held at St. James Episcopal Church on the corner of Lafayette Ave and St. James Place, in Brooklyn. The service was led by Rev. Harry Handel, whom she befriended in France and who just three year earlier officiated at her wedding. The church was crammed with the Eagle staff, members of the family and many, many Great War veterans who came to pay their final respects to the "typically American girl" who became their guardian angel during the war.
Mary Sandsted Igoe's ashes were strewn among the graves of American soldiers in Suresnes Military Cemetery in France. She returned to rest to the place where the most intense, productive and perhaps happy years of her short life unfolded. She returned to her "boys". The good Rev. Harry Handel, although seriously ill, made this trip with Harold Igoe to finish his services of devotion.
Mary's twin boys, William James and John Roberts, did not outlive her by long. They succumbed one after another within two months after their mother's death.
Ervin Harold Igoe, who used Harold as his preferred name, went on to serve in the next World War, in US Air Force. He remarried and lived a long life. He died in 1983.I was not able to find Harold Igoe's portrait in our collection. Perhaps it is him, in the middle, sitting next to Mary Sandsted in this photograph taken in La Maison Brooklyn?

chapter LXVIIMature
The screams that were coming from him were unholy which made Gabriel hope, weakly, that Graeme didn't feel the pain. That it was only Appoloin who was burning beneath the knives, who was sizzling at the touch of holy water. The flesh of his forehead and chest and where she'd touched her damp fingers to his shoulders was bubbling up, blistering, bubbling again. He screamed again and the inside of his mouth was black as if it were coated in soot; the teeth were charred and cracking as he bit at the air; whether it was a gesture of pain or fury she didn't know. She could feel Graeme slipping; as if his presence in the room was shifting, was fading slightly with every passing minute. All she could think was Don't go, over and over, like a mantra.
To her right, Hazel was still whispering her Romanian prayers, mingling them with incantations older than any of the books Gabriel and Graeme had been able to find. Bless her, Gabriel thought – a brief interruption of her mantra, which resumed itself immediately. All six knives were in place, and with Appoloin trapped in the tarpit-like gunk of Hazel's potion, there was only one thing left to do.
She wanted to tell Graeme she loved him, but instead, she laid her hand over the final knife and whispered the one spell she hoped would save him.
Harbinger of righteous slaughter, spare the bearer of dark things.
Honor thy maker and spill only tainted blood.
It lit up the way blessed objects often did, buzzing with an unpolluted light. Her fingers closed around it as if they were controlled by someone else. Whether there was sadness in her face or not, she didn't know, but there was an ocean of it inside of her. With one clean stroke, she punctured his sternum with the blade and sank it into his heart.
Let him heal, she thought. Take it from me, if you must, but let him heal.
His eyes went dark. Blood churned up from his mouth and trickled down his chin. His chest was still, his muscles limp against the restraining knives. Frantically, she began removing them; yanking hard on the hilts until the blades were free of the wall, sliding out of his body with wet shinks as they scraped against bone. She discarded them at her feet, heedless of the blood dripping from them onto the white tile floor.
Her hands were shaking as she climbed into the tub beside him, pulling his body against her. There was no resistance in his mucles, he simply bent to the pressure of her touch. Unaware of how close she was to hyperventilating, she took in breath after breath of air, counting them, barely letting it in or at as she did so, desperate to keep herself from crumbling. One, two, three, four, five, six. The fear was palpable. Had they made a mistake? She could think of nothing else. Had they? Seven, eight, nine, ten. When would she know? She didn't think she could wait. One, two, three, four, five. How long would it take him to heal? It had taken almost a day for him to heal from the last fatal injury he'd gotten. Six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Would it take longer for his heart to stitch itself back together?
Hazel gathered up the knives, generously not offering Gabriel a glance. She knew there would be only pity in the older woman's paling eyes. Sebastian remained unmoved in the doorway, his eyes fixed on her with an emptiness that was better than the disgust she might have otherwise expected. Her fingers pet Graeme's soaked hair, stuck to his forehead with sweat, and she looked away from Sebastian. Warmth spread through her clothes and she ignored it. Acknowledging the blood would only bring to the forefront all of the terror that was clawing like a hungry wild thing inside of her chest. She clung to him and wept, unable to stop herself.
Her prayers left her lips as if He would hear them better if she said them outloud.
"Bring him back to me, please, please, please. Bring him back. I'll do anything. Bring him back to me."

In this manuscript, we present our efforts towards a framework for exposing the functionality of a mobile application through a combination of static and dynamic program analysis that attempts to explore all available execution paths including libraries. We verified our approach by testing a large number of Android applications with our program to exhibit its functionality and viability. The framework allows complete automation of the execution process so that no user input is required. We also discuss how our static analysis program can be used to inform the execution of the dynamic analysis program. The program can serve as an extensible basis to fulfill other useful purposes such as symbolic execution, program verification, interactive debugger, and other approaches that require deep inspection of an Android application.

Brute Farce
We dont know about you, but there were times during the recent Beijing Olympics when we wanted to rain death blows on the Chinese party goons running things. A dark alley, some strategically placed mystery chops, and suddenly its our lady gymnasts dominating the medal podium instead of those teensy Chinese tweens. The critics similarly hai-karated the Z-movie Dance of Death when it came out in 1976. The flick which screens as part of Midnite Movie Mamacitas Martial Arts Movie Mania event portrays Chairman Mao as a fists-of-fury tyke on a revenge binge. After the screening, well-known Asian martial arts/action-film aficionados Ric Meyers (pictured) and Stephen Watson will host a Q&A.

Thanks for posting. I'm not against it at all, but I don't often OC. However, good info for everyone to know while in BR and I hope they get that worked out some how? I can't recall it exactly right now, but it seems like something similar about guns in the BR city parks?
Just to clear it up, that is not a Louisiana state law, it is a city of Baton Rouge law.
As far as quirky laws, and/or laws that contradict each other. That's everywhere to some extent, not just Louisiana.

SWS Tip
SWS Tip by Walt Davis
Since I most often paint on quarter sheets when working plein air, I do preliminary drawings and value planning in a 7 X 10 inch sketch book with at least 90 lb (147 g) paper (since I do value planning with Payne's gray watercolor).
Prior to going out to paint I make a template from a piece of scrap mat board cut to 6 X 8 3/16 inches, the same proportions of a quarter sheet or full sheet of watercolor paper. I then draw a grid on the template dividing it into sixteen equal rectangles (four up and four across). Before starting a sketch, I place the template on the sketchbook page, draw around the perimeter and make tic marks where the grid lines intersect the perimeter. Using these tic marks I quickly replicate the grid on my sketchbook. Any design drawn within the perimeter thus established will fit nicely onto a quarter sheet or full sheet of paper.
When I am ready to transfer sketch to paper, I use a watercolor pencil to lightly draw a horizontal line across the middle of the watercolor paper and another up the middle vertically. Placing additional lines through the middles of the rectangles thus formed I replicate on watercolor paper the same proportional grid I have on my preliminary sketch. Transferring sketch to paper is then a simple matter of gridding-up. No more struggling to fit a square sketch onto a rectangular piece of watercolor paper and all the frustration and disappointment that can cause.

European Stocks May Open Unchanged
RTTNews - European stock futures point towards a flat opening with a negative bias on Thursday ahead of the release of Friday's key monthly jobs report from the U.S. and amid renewed worries on the pace of global economic recovery.
That said, the recovery seen in Asia on Thursday may lead to stock-specific buying. Shrugging off some early weakness, Asian stocks edged mostly higher on Thursday with participants going in for bargain hunting after previous session's setback.
China's Shanghai Composite index is up over 4% after a top securities regulator said late Wednesday that it would do its best to promote the steady development of the equity market.
Traders eagerly await rate decision from the European Central Bank due at 7.45 am ET for more cues about the domestic economy. The Governing Council of the ECB is expected to hold its key interest rate at 1.0 percent.
On Wall Street, a late session sell-off resulted in a lower close for stocks on Wednesday. The Federal Reserve released the minutes of its August meeting, indicating that the members of the Federal Open Market Committee are more confident that the economic downturn is ending and that growth is likely to resume in the second half of the year. According to a release from the Commerce Department, factory orders increased by less than economists had been expecting in July.
Separately, data released by Automatic Data Processing, Inc. showed that non-farm private employment fell by more than economists had been anticipating in August, although the loss of jobs still marked the smallest drop in employment since September of 2008. The Dow closed down 0.32%, the Nasdaq Composite fell 0.09% and the S&P 500 gave off 0.33%.
After a choppy session, crude oil prices finished unchanged at $68.05 a barrel on Wednesday, as data from the U.S. Energy Administration revealed that inventories fell last week, but not as much as expected. In Asian trading on Thursday, crude oil prices rose modestly but stayed below $69 a barrel.
In corporate news, Peplin, Inc. said that it has agreed to be acquired by LEO Pharma A/S for about US$287.5 million, currently A$348.4 million, in cash.
Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. said that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Germany-based in-vitro diagnostic tests provider B.R.A.H.M.S. AG for ?330 million or approximately US$470 million.
Arkema SA will slash 88 jobs at its Saint-Auban site as part of a proposed reorganization plan.
Credit Suisse Group AG named Eric Varvel, the London-based head of Europe, Middle East and Africa , as the acting chief executive of investment bank, due to the sudden and unexpected illness of incumbent Paul Calello.
Total SA plans to temporarily halt production at its Dunkirk refinery from Sept. 12 due to sluggish demand for refined products in northwestern Europe, reports suggest.
Specialist recruitment group Hays plc said that its profit for the year ended June attributable to equity holders of parent was £105.8 million, compared to £188.2 million a year ago.
McBride plc said its full-year pre-tax profit was GBP 22.2 million, higher than GBP 15.7 million in the prior year period. Deltex Medical Group plc's pre-tax loss widened to £1.18 million from £1.13 million a year earlier.
The European markets fell for the third day on Wednesday, as investors booked profits following recent strong gains. The FTSEurofirst 300 index of pan-European blue chips closed 0.39% lower, while the narrower DJ Stoxx 50 index finished almost unchanged. Around Europe, the U.K.'s FTSE 100 index declined 0.04%, France's CAC 40 index slipped 0.29% and Germany's DAX index fell 0.14%.

Chapter 2- Attack
Several of my personal guards pour through the door, scouting out the rooms that make up my personal quarters before barricading the doors that lead out of the sitting room and positioning themselves by the windows and main door.
The fear doesn't even register to begin with. All I can do is sit totally still, paralyzed. I have no idea what's going on. My rooms have always been so sacred. No one enters without my express permission. It felt wrong to even have Aeron in here, let alone my whole guard. Right on the heels of this thought, is the realization that it must be serious. I glance across at Aeron, who is now kneeling on the floor, his hand outstretched to me.
"Our Lady Annalisa, please get down," Daeryl- one of my usual door guards- requests, quietly. It doesn't even register in my mind's shocked state that he wants me to move. He's stood by the window, looking out over the gardens nervously. His gaze flickers to me when he realises I haven't complied. "Lady Annalisa – Get down." I begin to realise that action is required of me but before I can tell my limbs to move, Aeron has pulled me down beside him, his body shielding me slightly. How can he think of keeping the charade up when we could be in danger?
Several moments pass and nothing happens. I'm beginning to hope it's a false alarm. My heart rate begins to slow. I consider wriggling out from my cramped position, slightly under both Aeron and the bench. Then there's a bang and glass and shouting. Daeryl cries out and suddenly he hits the floor beside us. There's blood on his face and an arrow protrudes from his chest. His breathing stutters and stops. Oh, Dear Watchers. Aeron leaps to his feet and the rush of cold air startles me out of my huddle on the floor. He's already pulling me backwards, away from the window.
A man appears over the window ledge and there's a whistle of air right beside my ear. Another of my chamber guards has put an arrow in his chest. The man falls forward, which even in this state I can tell is wrong. He should have fallen back out of the window at the angle he was leaning. He lies totally still on my cream rug, his blood soaking into the pale fabric.
Nifi, another of my guards, draws his sword and makes a circuit of the room, checking the barricaded doors for noise and peeking around the blown out window frame. I begin to realise that there's a huge commotion out in the gardens. Screams, shouts and cries that send chills down my spine come echoing through the window. I feel slightly sick and dizzy as I realise that both dignitaries and my relatives are dying out there at the hands of our unknown foes. Nifi looks grim as he turns away from the gash in my wall.
I start to move away from the far wall before Aeron tugs at my sleeve. I follow his gaze and see that the dead man is twitching. He isn't twitching in a way that looks like he's dying either. Before long, he's pulling himself across the floor by his finger tips, his head still hanging limply and dragging on the floor. There's a terrible moment when the sickening shuffling sound is all I can hear, the horrible background noise just isn't registering any more. Then arrows whistle past over and over again. He jerks with every arrow that buries itself inside him but all the time he keeps moving along the floor. He's between us and the door. I want to look at Aeron but I just can't look away.
I'm backed right up against the wall, side by side with Aeron. The dead intruder is within kicking distance when he stops pulling himself along and his arms drag themselves back down by his sides. I realise there's silence in the gardens now. That scares me even more.
The dead man's hand comes up suddenly. I flatten myself to the wall in response. He's holding something. We may not be able to stop him with arrows but I'm sure he could still kill us with a knife. However, in his outstretched hand he holds a scroll. He freezes there for a few moments before his hand fades from grey-pink to the colour of stone and begins to crumble. Although I'm careful not to look too closely, I can see that his face is undergoing the same change. His body seems to be disappearing from within his tunic and leggings. Soon, all that is left of him is a dusty outline and clothes.
I haven't moved since his hand came up. I take a shuddering breath and glance up at Aeron. His mouth is turned down slightly at the corners and his brow has furrowed in concentration.
"Should I...?" I don't know quite what I'm asking of him. I have no idea what to do.
"I don't know," His voice is filled with confusion and he seems almost apologetic for it.
"What was he?" Despite the Power I have, my studies on the subject were always based on magic that would aid my people, such as climate control or diplomatic advantage. People being altered by magic featured about as highly on the list of priorities as weapons did. The North Lands are a totally peaceful nation- we don't even had an army. Maybe I ought to turn that well known phrase into the past tense. This seems to be a pretty open act of hostility on someone's behalf. I realise the guards are still standing around, looking agitated. I dismiss them to help their fellows with whatever has happened outside before Aeron can reply, leaving us alone. Only when the door closes behind them does Aeron reply.
"Compulsion spell," Aeron mutters, only half talking to me. At my only partially understanding face, he continues. "The caster puts a spell on the person they want to carry out a task- in this case the task appears to be bringing you this scroll. If the person willingly and successfully does as the spell wants them to, then the person feels no effects of the spell other than increased motivation. If they defy the caster, though, they begin to be compelled to carry out the task, all the time in terrible pain. It forces them to comply."
"But why did he disintegrate?" I feel my brow furrow as well. What is it they say about married couples becoming more alike? I would have smiled to myself under other circumstances.
"He had to finish his task," Aeron says, simply. "When he died with his task unfinished, the spell consumed energy from his body to fuel him until the task's completion. Had he had to go further than he held energy for, the spell would draw it from the surroundings."
"Why have I never heard of these spells? They seem useful, despite their potentially destructive nature," to rulers and people in positions such as my own, they would be an invaluable tool to anyone without scruples concerning free-will or a respect for life.
"They're obscure magic, now," Aeron says in a way that betrays his confusion at who could have used such magic. "Very few people know of them as their utility was disregarded centuries ago due to the potential destruction they could wreak. Whole kingdoms could be eaten up to feed a spell for an especially large task."
I make a sound of understanding and withdraw into my own thoughts for a moment. Should I open the scroll? This man's life was consumed by the delivery of this message. I feel I owe it to him but this feeling of obligation isn't so strong as to overshadow my concern for my own life.
"I should consult The Watchers before I do anything," I tell Aeron, quietly. I start towards the door before he stops me with a hand placed on my forearm.
"No," he says firmly. "I think it's safe to presume that the events of today are acts of war. The fewer people we include in crucial deliberations, the better. The Watchers have no knowledge of Power or politics. Their contribution is purely spiritual. What use can they be?"
"The Watchers have been the wise spiritual leaders of this nation for centuries. You have been my husband for no more than an hour or so," I retort. The implications of these time scales are perfectly clear.
"They're no more than pompous old men who wish to exercise what little power they have as often as possible, regardless of the consequences," Aeron replies. His tone isn't confrontational though, merely matter of fact.
I just stare at him, exasperated. He's right about the magic thing though. I can't afford to upset Aeron; he's my source of knowledge on this matter. I nod once- a short, jerky movement that in no way feels like an agreement. It has to be though. The Watchers may be trusted advisors but they are the less helpful option right now and I have to do what is right for my nation. I try to remember that as I take a deep breath and turn to Aeron once more.
"So, do I open it?" We have to make a decision. No matter what has happened in the gardens- and the thought still brings bile into my throat- guards will be looking to secure my position pretty soon.
"Yes, but not here," he says and I want to hit him at his impracticality. Where, then? The whole of Alnora Palace has been turned upside down and he wants it to be somewhere other than the one place we can be alone?
"Well, where then?" I ask him, hardly keeping the irritation out of my voice. I catch myself though. I am the Guide of the North Lands. I have years of practice at hiding and controlling my emotions. Why am I letting this man get under my skin? I mentally shake myself. It has to be an effect of all of the fear.
To my surprise, he grins. "Come on, Annie," he says as he starts to pull me out of the door and through the maze of corridors.

The Scot said she felt very fortunate as "some people have to struggle to have a baby."
She told Hello! magazine: "I can't believe how quickly it happened...You're always reading about how you have to try at the right time, but (we) were very relaxed and didn't put pressure on ourselves."
Gallacher recently announced her engagement to the baby's father, former rugby union international Paul Sampson.
The couple plan to tie the knot next summer after Sampson proposed at the end of a day in the country.
Gallacher said: "As we stood on a little wooden jetty, gazing out at what looked like a scene from The Wind in the Willows, he suddenly got down on one knee and said, 'We've had a very special day and I want to make it even more special. Will you marry me?"'
The proposal was "so romantic," she added.
The wedding plans have not yet been finalised, but Gallacher said she was more interested in having a fun time with close family and friends than in having a big white wedding.
The couple already have a two-year-old son called Oscar. They have decided to wait until the new baby is born to find out the sex, Gallacher said.
But she added: "I'd love to have a little girl."

|Hospitals in Tennessee
Le Bonheur Children's Hospital is a 255-bed, tertiary care children's hospital located in Downtown Memphis, Tennessee. Le Bonheur has more than 700 medical staff representing 40 pediatric specialties. Approximately 170 patients per day are admitted, mostly from Tennessee and nearby states but also from around the world, mainly due to its nationally recognized brain tumor program, affiliation with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and for being the home of the Children's Foundation Research Center.
Le Bonheur functions as the region's primary level 1 pediatric trauma center. The hospital cares for 14,000 patients every year, including about 81,000 visits to the emergency department a year and 8,800 surgeries per year.[1] Le Bonheur also serves as a teaching hospital affiliated with the University of Tennessee Health Science Center and offers training in general pediatrics and pediatric sub-specialties. For the past couple of years the hospital has been recognized among the nation's "Best Children's Hospitals" by U.S. News and World Report.
Le Bonheur was founded in June 15, 1952 by the Le Bonheur Club, originally a women's sewing circle, and was originally an orphanage dedicated to caring for poor children. The Le Bonheur Club members raised all of the money for the initial investment for the hospital. When the doors opened, the Le Bonheur Club President, Mrs. Howard Pritchard, stated: "The doors of Le Bonheur will never be found closed and will forever hereafter be open to those who come in need, seeking its help." Since 1952, the medical center has gone through two major expansion projects.
In 1995, Le Bonheur became a part of the Methodist Healthcare System, which is supported by the Memphis, Mississippi and Arkansas conferences of The United Methodist Church. In February 2008, ground was broken on the new expansion by Le Bonheur executives. In December 2010, Le Bonheur Children's Hospital opened the emergency department in its newly renovated 12-story patient care tower.[2] Le Bonheur maintains a fleet of two ambulances equipped for critical care transport.
Le Bonheur is affiliated with the University of Tennessee Health Science Center and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. It offers training in general pediatrics and several subspecialty areas of pediatrics. Over the past couple of years, Le Bonheur Children's Hospital has consistently been ranked among the nation's best by U.S. News and World Report in different specialties.

the thing is he was basically a part of the old school that was swept away by the newer generation who shunned the academy (after the academy had shunned them innitially). the academy was seen as representative of basically frumpy, chocolate box, commercial art, the establishment which needed to be kicked down (and yes it did deserve this, it really was very much the old boys club at the time, maintaining a stranglehold on what art was, and who could be considered an artist).
art needed to move on because what was the point in continuing to try and do what the camera did so very much better? so art evolved away from the realism of artists like Bouguereau.
Personally i'm not very much into Bouguergeau, I find his work to be too sacharin and twee, rather like Murillo, though it's hard to deny either artists technical excellence.
