Our girls love applesauce, so today we made our own! 2 weeks ago Meijer had apples on sale for .49lb so I grabbed a few extra pounds to make sure we could make some applesauce. You only need a few ingredients to make a great tasting homemade applesauce!
Homemade Applesauce
3/4 cup Sugar
1/2 cup Water
1 tsp. Cinnamon
1 tsp. Vanilla
8 – 10 Apples peeled, cored and cut into cubes
Turn your crock pot and on high and add water, sugar, cinnamon and vanilla and mix thoroughly. Peel and core your apples to get ready for the crockpot. Either slice or cut your apples into cubes and toss them into the pot!
Mix all ingredients together in crock pot. Leave it covered on high for 3-4 hours.
After 3-4 hours you will see your apples turn to mush and ready to smash into applesauce. Our girls like it a little chunky so I use a fork and mash the whole pieces of apple just a little to make it look more like applesauce. If you want a smoother applesauce you can use a mixer on low to get a better consistency. Since this is our first batch of homemade applesauce I only made 1 batch to see how it turned out. Since the whole family loved it, I think this will become a addition to our jar gifts that we make for Christmas gifts!

Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted infection (STI). It is caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV).
This article focuses on HSV type 2 (HSV-2) infection.
Herpes - genital; Herpes simplex - genital; Herpesvirus 2; HSV-2
Genital herpes affects the skin or mucous membranes of the genitals. The virus is spread from one person to another during sexual contact.
There are two kinds of HSV:
You may become infected with herpes if your skin, vagina, penis, or mouth comes into contact with someone who already has herpes.
You are most likely to get herpes if you touch the skin of someone who has herpes sores, blisters, or a rash. But the virus can still be spread even when no sores or other symptoms are present. In some cases, you do not know you are infected.
Genital HSV-2 infections are more common in women than men.
Many people with genital herpes never have sores. Or they have very mild symptoms that go unnoticed or are mistaken for insect bites or another skin condition.
If signs and symptoms do occur during the first outbreak, they can be severe. This first outbreak usually happens within 2 days to 2 weeks of being infected.
General symptoms may include:
Genital symptoms include small, painful blisters filled with clear or straw-colored fluid. They are usually found:
Other symptoms may include:
A second outbreak can appear weeks or months later. It is usually less severe and goes away sooner than the first outbreak. Over time, the number of outbreaks may decrease.
Tests can be done on skin sores or blisters to diagnose herpes. These tests are most often done when someone has a first outbreak and when a pregnant women develops genital herpes symptoms. Tests include:
Genital herpes cannot be cured. Antiviral medicines may be prescribed:
Pregnant women may be treated for herpes during the last month of pregnancy to reduce the chance of having an outbreak at the time of delivery. If there is an outbreak around the time of delivery, a C-section will be recommended to reduce the chance of infecting the baby.
Possible side effects from herpes medicines include:
Follow your health care provider's advice on how to care for your herpes symptoms at home.
You can ease the stress of illness by joining a herpes support group. Sharing with others who have common experiences and problems can help you not feel alone.
Once you are infected, the virus stays in your body for the rest of your life. Some people never have another episode. Others have frequent outbreaks that can be triggered by fatigue, illness, menstruation, or stress.
Pregnant women who have an active genital herpes infection when they give birth may pass the infection to their baby.
The virus may spread to other parts of the body, including the brain, eyes, esophagus, liver, spinal cord, or lungs. These complications often develop in people who have a weakened immune system due to HIV or certain medicines.
Call your health care provider if you have any symptoms of genital herpes or if you develop fever, headache, vomiting, or other symptoms during or after an outbreak of herpes.
The best way not to get genital herpes is to avoid all sexual contact, including oral sex.
Being in a long-term, mutually monogamous relationship with someone who has been tested and has never been infected with the virus can also help reduce your chance of becoming infected. If you have genital herpes, you should tell your partner that you have the disease, even if you do not have symptoms.
Condoms are the best way to protect against catching genital herpes during sexual activity:

Brookfield - Mayor Steve Ponto said Monday he is delaying action on a proposed Brookfield high-speed rail station until after the Nov. 2 gubernatorial election.
The Common Council tentatively had been scheduled to consider the station at its Oct. 5 meeting. But Ponto said he is postponing action because he does not expect state officials to have their final proposal, including costs, ready by the meeting.
Ponto said it makes no sense for the council to consider whether to endorse the station project without knowing its costs and without knowing who will be governor next year.
The high-speed Milwaukee-to-Madison rail line is a controversial issue in the gubernatorial race, with Democratic candidate Tom Barrett supporting the line and Republican Scott Walker opposing it.
Ponto said he made the decision after meeting Thursday with state administration Secretary Dan Schoof and Department of Transportation High Speed Passenger Rail Program Chief John Oimoen. Also at the meeting were the city's finance director, Robert Scott, its community development director, Dan Ertl, and Common Council President Mark Nelson.
"With the election date this close and the stark differences between the gubernatorial candidates on the issue of high speed rail, I believe the Council should know the outcome of the November 2nd election prior to deliberating on this matter," Ponto said in a memo he sent Friday to aldermen. "I am also mindful that the State policy makers will change in January based on the election."
Ponto, elected mayor in April, is opposed to spending local tax dollars for construction of the station, platforms and parking.
The mayor also is concerned about the station because the DOT has said several times that Brookfield - not the state - would own and operate the station. Costs of operating and maintaining the station would range between $30,000 and $100,000 annually, Ponto said in a Sept. 17 letter to alderman.
Brookfield would get revenue generated by the station parking lot and from advertising in the station, Ponto says, but it is unlikely that the revenue would cover the full costs of operating the station.
Cari Anne Renlund, executive assistant to state Transportation Secretary Frank Busalacchi, said Monday that there is no firm date yet on when cost estimates will be ready on the Brookfield station.
She noted that the state had a good relationship with Ponto and the city's staff and that state officials want to make sure Brookfield has "all the information they need from us."
Renlund said the state was zeroing in on what costs are really necessary and trying to cover much of those with federal stimulus money awarded for the rail project.
She said the state also plans to provide Brookfield with estimates related to operating the station and on potential revenue from parking and advertising.
It's the second time council consideration on the Brookfield station has been delayed because the state had not finalized cost estimates. The council had been scheduled to consider the station on Sept. 21, but the state requested a delay to revise its cost estimates.
Initial estimates for the Brookfield station ranged from $17.9 million to $30 million, Ponto stated in an earlier memo to aldermen. But after the state allocated $5 million for that station, from the $810 million in federal stimulus money awarded for the rail project, new estimates were prepared. Ponto said the lowest estimate was $12.9 million, with the state share rising to $7 million, leaving Brookfield taxpayers to cover $5.9 million.
Those estimates have since changed, according to Ponto and the state.
The rail line is to operate as an extension of Amtrak's Milwaukee-to-Chicago Hiawatha route and eventually could be extended to the Twin Cities. It is to start service with six round trips at a top speed of 79 mph in 2013, increasing to 110 mph by the end of 2015.

Jacopo di Cione was born in Florence between 1320 and 1330. He is closely associated with his brothers Andrea, Nardo, and Matteo, and often worked collaboratively with them. He lived in the popolo Sancte Marie Novelle and, later in life, in the popolo Sancti Laurentii. In 1366-68 Jacopo worked on a large chamber in the guildhall of the judges and notaries, Florence (a surviving altarpiece with Crucifixion is in the National Gallery, London). After Andrea's death in 1368 Jacopo took over some of his brother's commissions, for example guaranteeing to complete a painting of the Virgin and assuming responsibility for the altarpiece of St Matthew, both for the Orsanmichele, Florence. He enrolled in the Arte dei Medici e Speziali in 1369, and was one of the consuls of the guild in 1384, 1387 and 1392.
Jacopo also worked regularly with the painter Niccolò di Pietro Gerini. In 1370-71 they produced the polyptych for the high altar of San Pier Maggiore, Florence - Niccolò was paid for the overall design, while Jacopo seems to have been responsible for the narratives. The altarpiece is one of the largest commissioned in fourteenth-century Florence, and was probably commissioned by the Albizzi family. The twelve main panels of the altarpiece are in the National Gallery, London, but the predella showing scenes from the life of Saint Peter has been dispersed. The two painters again collaborated in 1372-73 on the large panel of the Coronation of the Virgin commissioned by the mint of Florence, and in 1386 they received the commission for a fresco of the Annunciation for the council chamber in the Palazzo dei Priori, Volterra.
Between 1378 and 1380 Jacopo worked in the Florence Cathedral - he is recorded as Matteo guarantor - and continued to procure marble for the cathedral workshop after his brother's death. Later Jacopo probably also executed gilding decoration for twelve marble statues for the jamb of the main porch, and completed other identified work in the cathedral. In 1382 and 1385 Jacopo is recorded working at the Loggia dei Priori, Florence, and in 1386 he provided four panel paintings to the Avignon office of the merchant Francesco di Marco Datini of Prato. Jacopo di Cione died in Florence, after 2 May 1398 and before 1400.DW

I almost had to laugh yesterday when I read a story about a guy robbing a local Circle K. Below is the description printed by our local paper. What is missing from this description? Can anyone guess? Come on, now it is not that hard……
The suspect is described as a male in his 20s, with dark hair, gold teeth, and wearing a long black shirt with long jean shorts. His shirt had an image of a skeleton on it. He was also wearing black gloves and a black hat.
Our local paper decided some time ago that they would no longer use race in their descriptions because it is racist. Does anyone disagree that giving a race IS a big help in finding someone. Is it easier to find someone described as 6' 1" 210 pounds, dark hair, wearing…. Or do you eliminate a whole bunch of people if you add…."a black male" or "a white female" or a "Hispanic …"
Just another example of how our press has lost its dignity.
I will give the paper some slack in that they were sued a while back because they ran a weekly feature of the counties most wanted and well….most of them were black. I cannot remember if it was the naacp or who, but someone took them to task for running a list put out by law enforcement agencies that listed the most wanted felons in the county.
(note; local TV not only mentioned his race but showed pictures of the suspect)

The work, which was recently acquired by the Italian State, was found in a niche in the library of Palazzo Altieri by Martinelli in 1955. Documentary sources give us the history of the bust, but some aspects concerning the existence of other copies and about where they were destined still remain no more than hypotheses.
The principal sources which referred to the sculpture are a handwritten record by Carlo Cartari, the librarian of the Altieri family, and the catalogue of works by Bernini drafted in 1682 by Baldinucci, two years after the sculptor's death. Baldinucci mentions a bust of Pope Clement X, without indicating its location and, in his biography, he states that Bernini left it in his will to the Pope's nephew, the powerful Cardinal Paluzzo Altieri. Domenico Bernini (1713) only recalled that his father left "the portrait of Clement X to Cardinal Altieri". Cartari described a visit to Gian Lorenzo's studio on 5 May 1676, where he saw the sculptor making a bust of the pontiff for Cardinal Paluzzo "to keep in his room". The scholar also mentioned two replicas of the portrait which Bernini was to make: one, rough hewn, for the refectory of the Trinità dei Pellegrini, and another, still to be made, for the library in Palazzo Altieri. In the opinion of Wittkower and other scholars, only the bust for the Pellegrini hospital was probably made, but never fully terminated: they suggest that, due to the sudden death of the Pope in July 1676, the copy for the library was not even started. The bust for the Trinità dei Pellegrini remained in the sculptor's studio until 1680, when he left it to the hospital. The sculpture was placed in the refectory in 1685 and all trace of it was lost in the 19th century. The version for the Cardinal probably remained unfinished, even though it was at a fairly advanced stage: in October 1681, Giovan Battista Giorgi, the sculptor, received a payment of 10 scudi to finish the alb, the tippet and the scroll (Villa 1996). The bust was certainly placed in the niche in the library after 1688, when N. Tessin saw that the niche was empty and that the sculpture was in another room in the same building (Sirén 1914), presumably after the death of Cardinal Altieri in 1698.

Phase-contrast velocity mapping
Quantifying flow in cardiac MRI calls on the same principles as those set out for phase-contrast MR angiography. Phase-contrast flow imagery gives access to quantifying blood velocities and flows.
Phase-contrast acquisition comprises sequences with and without encoding of the flows that produce the images in magnitude ("anatomical" aspect of flows) and in phase ("quantitative" aspect: flow direction and velocity). A suitable encoding speed must be chosen beforehand to avoid an aliasing source of errors in high speed measurement.
Cardiac gating of these sequences is retrospective, with continuous gradient echo acquisition and phase encoding changes for each R wave.
To quantify the flows, the acquisition plane must be perpendicular to the vessel of interest (through-plane). To qualitatively visualize the flow lines, the slice plane must follow the flow axis (in-plane). The number and orientation of the velocity-encoding gradients are adapted to the direction of the flow considered and the type of image (through-plane or in-plane).
Accurate flow quantification demands:
- Sufficient spatial resolution to accurately measure the diameter of the vessel
- Precise temporal resolution covering the whole cardiac cycle
- An angle close to 90° between the slice plane and the flow axis
- An adapted encoding speed, slightly above the maximum velocity of the studied flow.

New Zealand made a great start to the Ten Nations Cup golf tournament, claiming a two-shot lead over Scotland after the first round at the inaugural championships in George, South Africa.
Southland No 1 Vaughan McCall led the way with a near flawless three under par 69 and he was well supported by Manawatu/Wanganui players Josh Munn and Tyler Hodge who added rounds of two under par 70.
The Kiwis combined for a seven-under-par team total with Tasman No 1 Blair Riordan having the non-counting score, a one over par 73.
England and Argentina share third three shots behind New Zealand, with Ireland and Colombia in a share of fifth. Australia and hosts South Africa are off the pace in eighth and ninth respectively.
The Ten Nations Cup is an amalgamation of the Four Nations Cup and the Southern Cross Trophy and contested over four stroke play rounds.
McCall, who last year became the first golfer in 24 years to win the New Zealand Stroke Play and New Zealand Amateur in the same year, is in a share of second on the individual leaderboard behind France's Paul Elissalde (68).
The four New Zealand players arrived at the event with thick sideburns resembling the character of Wolverine off X-Men but the facial hair is much more about team bonding than attempting to scare the opposition.
"Since we've all been together since January, we decided to grow sideburns just to boost our team spirit, but we don't mind if it intimidates a few people," said McCall, who finished tied 13th and leading Kiwi at last year's Eisenhower Trophy.
"I am pretty happy. I did what I needed to do all day. I got the ball up and down and played well. A pleasurable moment was when my own teammates were hassling me down the last and I chipped in to put a smile on my face."
Following the event, the New Zealand team will compete at next week's South African Stroke Play Championship at the Ernie Els designed Oubaai Golf Club in George.

From the Chief Scout Yarns
January 24, 1920
The story of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves is really an old Arab tale, and was first written in Bagdad.
The Boy Scouts of Bagdad recently got up the play of Ali Baba. As you know, we have Scouts of every form of religion under the sun, and at Bagdad there are Chaldeans, Moslems, Jews, and Christians.
In that country the difference in a man's religion makes a big difference in his dealings with other people, and it was considered a most wonderful thing by the onlookers when, in the performance of the play, Christian boys danced hand in hand with Moslems.
The older men have been asking: "What sort of spirit is this that the British have brought to us? Those boys, instead of being continually at war with one another, according to the religion they followed, are now like a band of brothers together!"
Such is the brotherhood of the Scouts. We can respect another fellow's religion, and not think any the worse of him because he is not exactly the same as ourselves.
A man before his time… or timeless man.. BP, what a guy!

Hi! I was going to start making my first game in Java and I was unsure of how I should plan this out. For now I am building the game for PC but if successful I will try to port it over to android so that my friends can also play as well. My java experience is some what new as I am taking a class in java now, but I have taken a summer course on it before. For game making experience I have worked with GameMaker (mostly coding not drag and drop) and about a year in Unity.
The point of this game is mostly be a learning experience of trying to make a game without an engine such as GM or Unity. Would it be a good idea to use just java or get other sdks or libraries? Also is there anything I should know or keep in mind if I am building as a PC game first and then porting it over to android or mac?
Any suggestions or tips would be helpful. Thanks!
This will be a 2d platforming game.

Family: Ictaluridae, Bullhead Catfishes view all from this family
Description To 3" (7.3 cm). A tiny, tadpole-shaped catfish. Light brown to olive-brown above with paler, yellowish blotches; belly white. Chin barbels prominent. 8 pelvic fin rays; 12-13 anal rays.
Endangered Status The Smoky Madtom is on the U.S. Endangered Species List. It is classified as endangered throughout its range in Tennessee. This tiny catfish was discovered in 1957 when the native fish in an outflow stream from Chilhowee Reservoir were intentionally poisoned in preparation for the establishment of a trout fishery in the reservoir. It was thought to be extinct until 1980, when a single population was found in Citico Creek, Monroe County. This remaining small, isolated population is vulnerable to any changes to the ecosystem, such as those imposed by logging, mining, and construction in the area. Besides the usual toxic runoff, mining activities could cause a bigger problem if a rock formation found in the area is exposed. Known as anakeesta shale, this rock leaches heavy metals and acidic runoff when exposed, and in other areas its exposure has killed off all the fish life.
Habitat In shallow riffles of creeks with rocky beds.
Range Monroe County, Tennessee.

By Tiernan Ray
Shares of SanDisk (SNDK) ended the day up $3.53, or 3.6%, at $102, after the company this morning said it would purchase flash-memory storage vendor Fusion-io (FIO) for $1.1 billion in cash via a tender offer approved by both companies' boards.
Although the offer price of $11.25 is 21% above Fusion-io's Friday close of $9.28, the deal price is viewed by many to be fairly low considering historical comparable multiples of take-outs. Indeed, Fusion stock rose above the buy-out price, to close at $11.36, perhaps propelled by speculation of a competing bid.
Others argued perhaps Fusion is just in a business becoming a commodity and therefore was not worth more.
Note that the deal follows the announced purchase by Seagate (STX) of the flash memory business of LSI by two weeks ago, after Avago (AVGO) acquired LSI. Shares of Violin Memory (VMEM), another flash hopeful, closed up 22 cents, or almost 6%, at $4.17 today. Nimble Storage, which sells storage arrays with both flash and spinning disk in them, rose $1.06, or 4%, to close at $27.56, though that was also a reflection of an upgrade of the stock from Macquarie Research's Rajesh Ghai, from Neutral to Outperform.
Andrew Nowinski of Piper Jaffray is "disappointed" in the price, with his target on Fusion-io having been $12.
"This offer price equates to ~2.5x EV/FY15 Sales, which is a steep discount to the average offer premium of 3.8x in this space," he writes, "despite Fusion-io having far superior products to both Virident and LSI, in our opinion."
To back up his assertion, Nowinski offers the following table of deal valuations (click for larger image):
Needham & Co.'s Richard Kugele cut his rating on Fusion stock to Hold from Buy, writing that the acquisition is " is a great deal for SNDK, though perhaps a hollow victory for FIO, with the price below even the low-end of recent deals for a tech-rich company."
SanDisk should benefit from Fusion's technology and customer base, and SanDisk's ability to bring favorable NAND supply to the product line. But he's not sure why Fusion is selling now, and at the price they sold:
Could the company have secured a higher take-out price if another couple quarters in its turnaround passed? Perhaps. Is That It? While we are not surprised that the company was bought (FIO was one of our top picks heading into '14 on its turnaround/acquisition potential – then $8.91), we are surprised the multiple was not higher given recent comparable take-outs in the space (3-5x EV/sales). We exclude from this range both the Seagate/LSI deal (roughly 2-3x LTM sales) because the controller business was largely consumer/midrange SSDs, vs. enterprise PCIe, and the WDC/Virident deal (perhaps as much as 12-15x sales) as the LTM revenue was not indicative of go-forward sales. So Why Sell Now? Don't know. But with two Board members lingering from its pre-IPO VC investment days it is possible that the Board was unwilling to continue to fund the losses for additional quarters to see how much better a price they could receive.
Kugele's colleague, Rajvindra Gill, reiterates his Buy rating and $115 price target on SanDisk stock, and is delighted with the deal:
With Fusion-io, SNDK becomes the #2 player in the overall enterprise SSD market with 16%+ share (behind INTC). We applaud SNDK's acquisition based on the following reasons: 1) the reasonable valuation it paid (2x sales vs 3-5x historical comps); 2) enhances the SSD portfolio with acquisition of #1 supplier in PCIe market; 3) accelerates the goal of $1BN of enterprise SSD sales to '15 from '16; and 4) does not alter the SNDK's target financial model of 45-51% GM and OM of 25-30%.
Gill thinks SanDisk will benefit from a pick-up in Fusion sales next year: "We expect Fusion-io sales to reaccelerate in FY15 to $458M due to a resurgence of data center buildouts from its hyper customers."
Amit Daryanani of RBC Capital Markets reiterates a Sector Perform rating on Fusion stock, opines maybe the price for Fusion is low because it no longer has the technology edge:
FIO's take out valuation of $11.25/share in cash (or $1.1B net of cash assumed), multiples of ~2.0x NTM, 1.8x CY14 and 1.6x CY15 sales. Notably, this multiple is well below historical flash take-out valuations which have had a median valuation of 6.2x and an average valuation of 9.2x. While SNDK expects to see $50M of annualized pretax synergies in 2015 across revenue, COGS (primary) and OPEX the valuation suggests that PCIe peers have caught up to FIO's technological lead.
In fact, he sees other flash technology companies bolstered by this:
We believe the transaction further validates the attractiveness of flash solutions within the storage industry. Notably, it also validates the consolidation thesis on the PCIe flash side as HDD companies have recently acquired flash assets to integrate into their current portfolios (STX/WDC). Finally, we believe this could enable further M&A with regards to flash solutions (Flash Cards, Hybrid Arrays, All Flash Arrays).
UBS's Steve Milunovich, who has a Neutral rating on Fusion stock, and had an $8.75 price target before the deal, notes the deal price "is a 21% premium to Friday's closing price but below the recent March high around $12 per share," and so, "the acquisition price illustrates that commoditization is coming to the PCIe card market."
If Fusion has been shopped already, maybe this was the best price the company could get:
Recent acquisitions in the space include Western Digital (WDC) acquiring PCIe competitor Virident for $685mn in cash and Seagate buying LSI's flash business from Avago. Other NAND manufacturers could be interested in Fusion-io though we assume Fusion has been shopped. EMC has told us it expects NAND manufacturers to be the eventual winners in the PCIe card space.

Turned To Stone
It's No Myth
In Greek mythology, the gaze of Medusa would turn people to stone. In fact, the idea of creatures turning people to stone is fairly universal and appears in numerous cultures. Now, those creatures may not exist, but there is a disease, and while people don't actually turn to stone, they do feel as though they have. Is this disease the source of the myths? Maybe.

Argentine Kansas
Postcards of Argentine Kansas, Silver Avenue & Healy House in Leadville, Colorado
Historical Article
Argentine, in Wyandotte County, came into being in 1880 when the newly completed railroad from Topeka to Kansas City--the Kansas City, Topeka and Western Railroad (soon changed to the Santa Fe)--was looking for ground for its shops, roundhouses, coal chutes, train sheds and other facilities.
A suitable spot was found on the south bank of the Kaw river, about three miles south of the mouth. A town at once sprang up and 60 acres were plotted by James W. Coburn, the first town proprietor, and called Argentine, meaning silver or silvery.
Growth of the new town was given additional momentum when, in the same year, the Consolidated K. C. Smelting and Refining company erected a small smelting plant there.
A year after the construction of the smelter, August R. Meyer gained the controlling interest in the business and began a program of expansion and enlargement. Ore was shipped by rail to the Argentine plant from various parts of Mexico, Canada, and the United States, especially Colorado.
Argentine was a wild and woolly place when Meyer arrived from Colorado in 1881 to look things over. There were 56 houses, no church, 27 saloons, one grocery and one drygoods store, the depot, smelter and the Santa Fe shops.
By 1882 the town had a sufficient population to form a city, and an election was held on the first Tuesday in August to select the first set of city officials. They were mayor, G. W. Gully; councilmen John Steffins, A. Borgslede, W. C. Blue, Patrick O'Brien and George Simmons; police judge, A. J. Dolley; marshal, Charles Duvall; city clerk, J. H. Halderman.
August Meyer came to Kansas City with an impressive background. Born in St. Louis of German-born parents, he attended St. Louis schools until he was 14 and then went abroad to study at the School of Mines in Freibourg, Saxony, where he was graduated in 1872. Subsequently he spent several terms as a student at the University of Berlin and later traveled through the leading mining sections of Europe.
After his schooling and return to America he spent some time in examination of coal land in Illinois, quickly passing on to executive positions there.
In the spring of 1874 when he was 26 years old, he went to Colorado. There he became territorial assayer at Fair Play, Colo. When the Fair Play mining community at California Gulch needed a U. S. postoffice, Meyer gave the rugged camp town its first official name: Leadville, Colo. Meyer's home in Leadville is preserved as Healy House, a state museum memorializing the silver mining area of the state. Meyer helped to build Leadville's first sampling and smelting works. He also established an ore-crushing mill in in Alma, Colo.
Meyer was already successful and wealthy when he left Colorado to come to Kansas City in 1881. He made a general study of the area here, its railroad advantages and commercial prospects. He liked what he saw and decided on this place as his new business headquarters and home.
He also liked living conditions here, especially in the fine new residential district in the northeast part of Kansas City. His home was at 2806 Independence avenue. (Later he built a German manor-type mansion at the corner of Forty-fourth and Warwick, now the home of the Kansas City Art Institute.)
Always a hearty outdoor man and an early riser, he rode horseback daily with one of his children. They rode from the Independence avenue residence along the nearby bluffs of the Missouri river, and here he conceived the idea of a boulevard (Cliff drive) along the high, scenic cliff, and other boulevards and parks elsewhere in the city.
He became Kansas City's first park board president in 1892 and his ambitious and far-seeing plans at first seemed extravagant beyond the limits of economic possibility, even to his park-minded admirers, like William Rockhill Nelson. However, he persisted, and today's boulevard and park system in Kansas City is a monument to his memory.
When Meyer first took over the Argentine smelter the word spread to the mining districts of Germany, Austria and Bohemia, where he had a wide acquaintance and had previously worked and studied. As a result, a great influx of workers from those sections came to Argentine.
Thus Argentine has always had a strong European background. At one time the smelter colony reached 3,000, half of Argentine's entire population.
The post card accompanying this article, Silver ave., looking east from Second st., Argentine, Kas., was made at the turn of the century. The spot can be found only with difficulty today, since it is now part of the Silver City apartment complex (one block north of the present Argentine high school, on Ruby). All the stores pictured are gone and the trees seen in the background are now straddled by the 18th-street expressway.
Elizabeth Wagner, who was born in a house near the post card scene and who now lives at My Lady of Mercy Home, 918 East Ninth street, identified all but one of the buildings on the street, as follows (left foreground to back):
1. Chinese Laundry.
2. And 3. Fire department.
(Their hand-drawn equipment is visible in front.)
4. Unidentified.
5. Harness shop.
6. Sables grocery.
And, on the right side, foreground to back:
1. Gaskill drugstore; upper floor, Workmen lodge.
2. Walden dry goods--known as the Racquet store.
3. Simmons livery stable office.
4. Simmons livery stable.
5. George Simmons funeral home.
6. Hammer hardware; (upper floor, Odd Fellows lodge.)
7. John R. Boehm meat market, later the grocery store of Charley Green, one-time manager of the smelter and four times mayor of Argentine.
Interestingly, the equipages of the George Simmons livery stable, with its 30 horses and 15 buggies, were often rented for funerals. It was because of this that Simmons eventually set up his own funeral home. The Simmons mortuary still operates today under the management of a grandson, Howard H. Simmons, and a great grandson, Donald H. Simmons, in a new location.
In 1898 the smelter boasted a total production of 7,899,029 ounces of silver valued at $4,970,008; 242,736 ounces of gold worth $5,017,360, and 39,947 tons of lead priced at $3,195,760, one-fifth of the nation's total lead output. Large quantities of blue vitrol and zinc also were produced that same year. The company, capitalized at 2 million dollars, employed a thousand men and did a business of 15 million dollars a year.
Piled high on Wells Fargo flatbed wagons at the old Santa Fe depot were stacks of silver bricks, awaiting the next shipment to buyers in this country, as well as in such faraway places as Japan and India. It was a common sight to see silver bullion, each brick stamped with its weight and value, lying on the dock down at the station, waiting for the train, the silver out in the open, unwrapped and unguarded. A ton of silver bricks and $20,000 in gold in a day was not unusual. There is no record of any having been stolen.
The smelter was closed in 1901 by the Guggenheims, a German family with whom Meyer had merged. Two factors contributing to its closing were that Colorado ore was being refined in new smelters nearer the ore in the mountains and that it became cheaper to ship Mexican ore by water to the east, than by rail to Argentine.
But during its operation for two decades the Argentine facility gained the distinction of being the greatest ore-smelting and refining plant in the world.
On September 14, 1909, the city council of Argentine, with Charles W. Green as mayor, passed a resolution asking for a consolidation of Argentine with Kansas City, Kansas. A month later the necessary legislation was enacted, making Argentine the 7th ward of Kansas City, Kansas, as of January 1, 1910.
Argentine street names were changed, in some cases to become continuation of Kansas City, Kansas, streets. (Thus old First street became Twenty-first street, and Second and Silver, as pictured on the post card, is now Twenty-second and Silver.)
The Argentine district still has an identity of its own and community spirit. It has grown to the south and west and boasts two fine new home districts, Southboro and Berkshire Village, a garden-type co-opeartive apartment. There are new banks, professional buildings and a new shopping center.
There are still a few of the older community leaders interested in collecting stories of the past, such as J. C. Harmon, retired principal of Argentine high school, and the Simmons family, whose records go back to the days of old Second and Silver and when George Simmons served as deputy marshal and captain of the Horse league, an antithief association composed of 100 men seeking to rid the pioneer community not of silver robbers, but of horse, fruit and poultry thiefs.

International study serves up recipe contest
Posted November 15, 2010; 12:00 p.m.
Princeton students explore a world of new experiences when studying or participating in internships abroad, including learning about the cuisines of other cultures. To bring some of these edible discoveries back to campus, Dining Services and the Office of International Programs recently held an International Palate Recipe contest and prepared the winning meals for students in the residential colleges.
Students submitted their favorite international recipe, as well as background information about their culinary experiences while abroad. Students were asked how and where they first encountered the dish and also about the ingredients and method of preparation.
Christina Chang, a junior, had the winning dish of salmon fishcakes with garden sauce from Edinburgh, Scotland.
According to junior Christina Chang, whose fishcake dish from Scotland won the contest, her choice speaks directly to the culture of that country. "The fishing industry and seafood recipes are integral to the Scottish economy, life and culture," she said. "This salmon fishcakes recipe is my favorite of the many delicious and richly spiced traditional dishes."
Sophomore Evan Larson holds his dish from Toledo, Spain, which won second place. Potatoes and eggs cooked in olive oil are the dish's main ingredients.
Sophomore Evan Larson, who is a vegetarian, relished the olive oil base to many of the dishes he tasted in Spain. He won second prize in the contest for one of his favorite dishes, a potato tortilla that he said his host mother taught him how to make and that he ate as a snack between classes.
Senior Julia Tsui earned third place for a peach and milk caramel dessert from Guayaquil, Ecuador.
The third place winner, senior Julia Tsui, also first learned of the dish she chose, a dessert, from her host mother in Ecuador. "After I had eaten it at home I always tried to order it when we went out," she said.
Three students received honorable mention for their dishes, all from Asia. Senior Omoshalewa Bamkole submitted a noodle dish from Vietnam, junior Anna Tchetchetkine shared her recipe for a savory pancake from Japan, and senior Lisa Tom presented a pork dish from China.
Student winners gather with organizers of the contest at the Butler dining hall to present dishes and receive awards. (Front row from left: students Christina Chang, Evan Larson and Julia Tsui; back row: Rob Harbison, culinary concepts coordinator, Dining Services; Stu Orefice, director, Dining Services; Brad Ortega, chef manager, Dining Services; Giorgio DiMauro, associate director, Study Abroad Program, Office of the Dean of the College).
The judges from Dining Services chose from a wide variety of dishes, with entries representing more than 15 countries. The judges were Sarah Bavuso, Rob Harbison, Stu Orefice and Susan Pierson.
The top three winning recipes were featured in all six residential dining halls on Nov. 10. Honorable mention recipes will be served in the residential college dining hall of the honoree later on. Selected recipes will be featured at the Food Gallery at the Frist Campus Center during the week of Nov. 15.
The recipe contest kicks off a variety of internationally focused events taking place across campus Nov. 15-20 as part of International Education Week. Sponsored by the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education, International Education Week annually showcases and promotes international education and exchange endeavors.

As long as Ireland isn't running our draft in 2013. He will bungle it again and we won't end up with players who can change the game. We can't afford to screw up next years draft with all the good picks we have.
As long as Ireland isn't running our draft in 2013. He will bungle it again and we won't end up with players who can change the game. We can't afford to screw up next years draft with all the good picks we have.
Please God, let me see 1 Dolphins Superbowl victory before I die.
If Bjoern Werner is available when the Dolphins draft, they should snag him up. You can never have enough good people on your defensive line.
I just mainly want them to draft BPA. Hopefully we can land a receiver or two that can stretch the field, a starter at corner, an interior linebacker, and possibly a safety that could earn a starting job before it gets too late in the draft. Add some value offensive linemen later on and a QB, then I think we'll be fine.
I'm not too scared about drafting offensive linemen early as they're usually decent vets available in the off-season or late. Also, if Daniel Thomas doesn't improve by the end of the season I wouldn't mind us trying to find a better power back.
I watched the highlights of the West Virginia and Baylor game, and was really impressed with Geno Smith and all of the throws he made. But I want to see what he can do against better defenses before I jump on the Geno Bandwagon.
Walter moved us up now given the performance over the weekend. Has us picking 8th and snagging Keenan Allen. Also has us getting John Cooper, Jordan Poyer and someone else. Site says he is doing his mock live now.
Oh, WF made our third-rounder Sharrif Floyd. So to re-cap: 1 WR, 1 G, 1 CB, 1 DT.
Jones is a machine and will produce in any system. If he's there with our 1st I grab him. Then I take a look at best available CB, WR, and OL in that order. I'd love to go get a top WR but no one in the 1st is that much ahead of guys that will go in the 3rd, so let's wait. I'd really treasure a shut down corner.
Chambers, I certainly see Incognito gone this year, he's so stiff and not athletic enough, and is playing out off position anyways.
I see a true LG coming in the draft but likely after the 3rd round. I believe Sherman has strong influence on player personnel. He was very strong with it while in GB years back. Playmakers will be the theme of next draft. The players we'll be looking for IMO would beMLB Teo, Skov; DE Montgomery, Mingo, maybe Woerner, Jeffcoat maybe Porter (the A&M connection); CB Milliner, Rhodes, Banks, Trufant; S Reid, Lester, Vaccarro, mcdonald. I definitely see defense this season and plenty of playmaking talent added to it. Offensive talent maybe added in 3rd round-seam threat, tall and athleticTE's Fauria, Toilolo, Ertz, Lutzenwhatever; and WR probably strong, quick Hopkins, Swope(A&M Connection), Patterson, Stills-I like his last name, Abbrederis (dudes a beast), Mathews, boyce, Debose and Bailey [they fit the height/weight criteria and are all go to playmakers]

Placenta abruptio is the separation of the placenta (the organ that nourishes the fetus) from its attachment to the uterus wall before the baby is delivered.
Premature separation of placenta; Ablatio placentae; Abruptio placentae; Placental abruption
The exact cause of a placental abruption may be hard to determine.
Direct causes are rare, but include:
Risk factors include:
Placental abruption, which includes any amount of placental separation before delivery, occurs in about 1 out of 150 deliveries. The severe form, which can cause the baby to die, occurs only in about 1 out of 800 to 1,600 deliveries.
Tests may include:
Treatment may include fluids through a vein (IV) and blood transfusions. The mother will be carefully monitored for symptoms of shock. The unborn baby will be watched for signs of distress, which includes an abnormal heart rate.
An emergency cesarean section may be needed. If the baby is very premature and there is only a small placental separation, the mother may be kept in the hospital for close observation. She may be released after several days if the condition does not get worse and any bleeding stops.
If the fetus is developed enough, vaginal delivery may be done if it is safe for the mother and child. Otherwise, a cesarean section will be done.
The mother does not usually die of this condition. But any of the following increases the risk of death for both the mother and baby:
Fetal distress occurs early in the condition in about half of all cases. Infants who live have a 40-50% chance of complications, which range from mild to severe.
Excess blood loss can lead to shock and possible death of the mother or baby. If bleeding occurs after the delivery and blood loss cannot be controlled in other ways, the mother may need a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus).
Call your health care provider right away if:
See your health care provider right away, call your local emergency number (such as 911), or go to the emergency room if you have vaginal bleeding and severe abdominal pain or contractions during your pregnancy. Placental abruption can quickly become an emergency condition that threatens the life of both the mother and baby.
Do not drink any alcohol, such as beer and wine. Do not smoke or use recreational drugs during pregnancy. Get early and regular prenatal care.
Recognizing and managing conditions in the mother such as diabetes and high blood pressure also decrease the risk of placental abruption.

One interesting trick (in other situations) I've seen is to keep the nicknames, but store the real names in a title attribute, so they appear as "tooltips" in many browsers if you mouse over the nicknames.

Navy Women's Hockey Team Serves up While Fun Serving Others
POSTED ON: Sunday, March 23, 2014 8:00 AM by Midshipman 1st Class Colleen Randolph
The Navy Women's Hockey Team has had its most successful season thus far. With a 9-1 record, the Navy Ladies are seated first in the Delaware Valley Collegiate Hockey Conference heading into their Championship season.
But it's not just the time on the ice that has led to their success. It is the time spent volunteering and giving back that has had the most impact on team camaraderie.
"Volunteering as a team has brought the Navy ladies a strong sense of camaraderie," said team captain Midshipman 2nd Class Emily Buzzard, of 18th Company. "By giving our time to build relationships with others, our perspective about stress or challenges is really put in check. It's almost a selfish thing, because we get so much more out of volunteering than what we put in."
The women's team's most recent project is partnering with the UCT Winter Festival Event, sponsored by the American Special Hockey League, which gives players with developmental disabilities an opportunity to play the sport they love. The Navy Women's Team spent the day cheering, handing out medals, meeting and signing autographs for the team.
Buzzard said they day added fresh perspective for her and her teammates.
"I just love the perspective they bring to ice hockey," she said. "A lot of athletes tend to get caught up in the competition of their sport, losing sight of love for the game and the importance of being a teammate. The Special Hockey teams value character growth over hockey growth. I wish every team would do that."
Not only does the team believe that lending a helping hand on the ice will bring them together as a team, but that valuable leadership lessons learned. Buzzard reflected on past experiences working with players with developmental disabilities and believes that they have brought her invaluable leadership experiences.
"At first my expectations of the players were too low. I allowed some of the players to walk all over me," she said. "I had to reevaluate my coaching tactics and realize that by allowing a skater to have an easy day, I was actually hindering their improvement."
These lessons, Buzzard believes, translate directly to learning to lead.
"Challenging the people I am leading doesn't necessarily mean that I am attacking them. I owe it to my followers to correct and challenge them when I see a deficiency."
Buzzard's favorite part of the experience? Interaction with the patient parents.
"Hockey parents are already a unique breed, but the parents of the Special Hockey players are unbelievably patient and selfless. I really admire them," she said.
Whether or not the Navy Women's Hockey team continues their streak, they emerge from the season as winners due to their selflessness. Their time spent with players of the American Special Hockey League will continue to add perspective and service.
" I think I learned a lot more from them than they did from me," said Buzzard. "Although, they did make us feel like we were professional hockey players, which was awesome."

text: You are correct. It was a columnist. I did a quick qoogle search and this was a specific article that listed specific results from the study. I really did not want to waste time looking through the study if there was a good summary of some of the results. Again, rather than point the finger at the messenger or the funder to divert attention from the results, do you have any specifics on why the study is biased?No, it wasn't a newspaper article. It was an editorial column. You do know the difference don't you? I'm sure you do. Perhaps that's why you took out the first and last paragraphs of the column which were heavy with overt editorializing. I'm sure you'd get a good chuckle out of me using a Rush Limbaugh editorial as evidence supporting one of my opinions. Just as I got a good laugh at you trying to fob off an editorial as legit news that supported the veracity of a study prepared by a very liberal public opinion organization.

Tanner Takes Coca Cola 125
August 27, 2014 by Derek
Filed under Speedway News
It was an exciting night of racing at the Evergreen State Fair as all the main events produced dramatic results. Tyler Tanner cruised to a two car length win Saturday at Evergreen Speedway over Shane Harding and Andy Sole, who matched his best run this year. Every bit as crucial as his second win of the season, Tanner picked up 22 points on leader Mike Holden who exited to the pits early for lengthy repairs. The pair go into championship night with a mere 10 point spread. The battle is far from over, as Tanner historically has been superior on the big 5/8, but Holden picked up the first win of his career on the track just one week before. Only a top 5 finish will secure the title for Holden if Tanner carries his momentum to the close of the 100 lap finale.
Doni Wanat and Molly Helmuth brought the field down for the green for the final time on the 3/8 oval for 2014. Wanat surged into the lead with Brandon Scheiber in hot pursuit to close out lap one. Despite a couple strong challenges from the Genie Chevy of Shane Sawin, Wanat held the point through an early caution that collected Helmuth and her Frontier Communications Late Model into the front stretch wall. On the restart, Sawin grabbed the lead by a nose, but couldn't hold it through the first turn and Wanat came roaring back down the back stretch. Meanwhile Tanner, Holden and Harding were working their way through traffic after the 8 car invert. Tanner took over third on lap 6 and Holden got by for the spot 10 laps later. Holden didn't waste any time and driving like there's no tomorrow, set his sights on Sawin, who was already applying heavy pressure to Wanat for the lead. Sawin looked inside for several laps before connecting with the back edge of Wanats bumper, spinning him out of the lead as they came down to complete lap 22 of the 125 lap grind. Sawin received a black flag for his aggression, but was headed to pit road anyway to repair a rear tire flattened by Holden, who also collected the front stretch fence in the melee.
With the top 3 now out of the picture, Tanner inherited the lead with Harding in tow and never looked back. After starting dead last, Andy Sole made his way through the early carnage to settle into the top five, eventually disposing of Peter Link and Jason Kooy for third. Sole took over second from Harding for several laps after a lap 75 restart, but wasn't able to hold it to the finish as Harding slipped back by to complete lap 90. Harding kept Tanner in his sights but never mounted a serious challenge and they crossed the line a couple car lengths apart with Sole right behind. Joe Constance and Kooy rounded out the top 5.
In other action, Trenton Moriarity held off Bobby DeYoung for his fourth win in his rookie season in the Foster Press Mini Stocks and the two head into championship night tied for the lead in overall points. Lance O'Grain outdueled Jessica Gray in the closing laps of the Stinger 8 main to secure his first win of the season. The two traded the lead several times in the final three laps, with O'Grain squeaking by on the inside of the final turn for the win. In Vintage Modified action, Jim Palmer ran last for 29 straight laps, then slipped by everyone for the win coming out of turn four! First Bobby Wheeler Jr. and Kyten Jones got together for the lead in the closing laps, then on the final turn, Robert Rux collected leader John Mustered. Tom Smitham couldn't avoid and the trio gathered up Rux who was charging back through the field. Mike Clother and Jones slowed to avoid and Palmer slipped by everyone to collect the victory! Next up is Championship night for 100 laps for the Super Late Models on the 5/8 oval along with the Street Stocks, Mini Stocks, Hornets and the Pro 4 Trucks.

Natural remedies for deworming a 2 year old
I have a two year old girl and about four months ago I dewormed her. She will be due for deworming till another two months, however I suspect that she has worms. Are there any natural deworming remedies that you can advise me to give her? I don't want to deworm her before time, since I think the nurses told me that is every six months she should be dewormed.

Also she has a bad cough as well, for the past two days she has been coughing a lot in the nights. Are there any natural remedies for this well.

Hi Tanisha,
Worms are parasites so when you're doing your research, you may want to search for natural remedies for parasites.
Do you know what kinds of worms she has? Pin worms are common and
Here's a good article on Worms in Children - How To Treat Them and Avoid Them.
I had worms as a child so I'm familiar with this problem (I bit my fingernails for many years, as a young child, and the dirt from under my nails got into my system and that's how I got pin worms). That article gives some good tips.
Here's an article that discusses Natural Remedies for Intestinal Parasites. Let me know if you find some helpful information in either of these two articles.
I have some good books that I keep on my shelf that help when anyone in my family is sick and I want to treat them naturally.
Healthy Healing by Linda Page, Prescription for Herbal Healing by Phyllis A. Blach, CNC, and Prescription for Natural C ures by James F. Balch, M.D. I also have one specifically for children but I can't remember the name of it at the moment.
I'll post a response to your other question about natural remedies for a cough next.
Warm regards,
11th February 2012 11:06 AM #4
Hi Tanisha,
I just started another thread on natural remedies for cold and cough. You'll find a few different recipes for natural cough syrups that not only calm a cough but boost the immune system as well to speed healing.
Post back here or over there to let me know if it helps.
Warm regards,

Hi Kate,
Thanks, I will read up the two website and check out the other thread and let you know if I get though. I was wondering though if the worms could cause her to be coughing a lot. She does it mainly at nights and and does not have a running nose, she just coughs a lot and her tummy is high at times. I am not sure the type of worms, as I am not familiar with these. To be honest, it is share speculation on my part, as I am not sure she has worms, thus the need for natural remedies. I think she has it because she grinds her teeth at nights and it is said that that is a sign. Anyways thanks a lot for the info and I will keep you posted.

I haven't heard of worms causing a cough, but that doesn't mean it couldn't. I'd work on trying to diagnose whether she actually has worms and go from there with the resources I mentioned earlier.
