A Health Committee appointed by the State Legislature held an investigation in New York City on the 25th into the matter of the sale and manufacture of imitation butter and cheese.

Ihe Missouri Land Frauds—A Gigantic Swindle. [From the Washington Post, March 19.] The press dispatches which have been published regarding the recent arrest of the land swindlers in St.Louis give no idea of the extent of the fraud. The officials in the General Land-office in the city regard it as the greatest swindle ever perpetrated on the Government, and its immensity can only be realized when all the facts in the case are known. Its inception dates back to the year 1854, more than a quarter of a century ago. In that year, on the ila of August, an act was passed by Congress graduating values of public lands to actual settlers and cultivators from $1.25 to 12 1-2 cents per acre. Just after the passage of this act a ring was formed in Missouri to obtain public lands by illegal methods. Some of the men who engaged iu the scheme are still living, and it is believed at the Land-office that the Government officials must have been in collusion with the swindlers. The latter prepared and brought to several of the Land- ofiices in Missouri a quantity of false evidence, alleging that the public lands for which patents were desired were actually »p«tled and cultivated according to law. This Was sent to Washington by the Registers and Receivers, and on the presentation of this alleged proof patents were issued for hundreds and thousands of acres of land to the swindlers. All their well-laid plans seemed to prosper. Then the war came, and all Southern and Southwestern Missouri, the scene of the swindling operations, was in a state of confusion. During the time it is believed the swindlers made the most of their opportunities and abstracted as many patents as they could find. When everything had quieted down they commenced to sell off the patents in a manner that was as plausible as it was successful. It was as follows: Mr. A came to Mr. B with a United States patent for a certain number of acres. It was a genuine patent, though obtained by fraud. Accompanying it was a deed purporting to be made out by the person whose name appeared on the patent. That deed was a forgery. To obtain their end the swindlers had committed two crimes. Some idea is thus given of the enormity of the fraud. First hundreds of affidavits that the signer had actually settled and cultivated the land were prepared, when the person whose name was affixed never existed. Page after page of some of the entry books in the Missouri Land-office have been found to be filled with the names of fictitious persons to whom patents were issued. Then, having secured a patent to the land by fraud, a deed which was not worth the paper it covered was written and handed to the guileless purchaser as bona fide evidence that his title to the property was complete. There was another and more careful way in which the skillful swindlers worked. Mr. A appeared to Mr. B, who wished to purchase as the agent of Mr. C, a third party. "Mr. C wishes to sell this land," said 3Ir. A to the victim, "and will probably accept your offer. Call around tomorrow at 1 o'clock. In the meantime t will see him." It is needless to say that this third party was a "straw man," who never existed. When B appeared next day A showed him a deed signed with C's name, but which really had been drawn up by A. within an hour after he had left the day before. As if to guard against any possible detection of fraud, the swindlers used what they called a "smoked deed.7' This was a deed discolored by smoke or coffee, and made to appear of sufficient age to correspond with the date it bore. They grew so expert at the practice of smoking freshly- prepared deeds that the deception escaped discovery. The investigation which led to the exposure of the gigantic swindlers was instigated a little over a year ago by a letter received by Secretary Schurz. This stated that one Robert P. Lindsay, of St. Louis, whose father had once been in chai-ge of the Land-office at Ironton, aud who had thus had access to the contents and records of the office, possessed one or two boxes filled with United States land patents which were certainly genuine, although Lindsay might have obtained them by questionable means. The letter alleged that he kept these boxes concealed or moved them by stealth, and had queer dealings with queer people. The writer, who professed to be a friend to Schurz, suggested in conclusion that it might pay to look into the mattei*. The statements of the letter Were deemed of such importance that the Secretary at once secured Special Agent D. P. Terrell, of the Treasury Department, to work up the case. His experience during the thirteen months he has been employed would, if published, read like a novel. He has been in nearly every city in the country, under assumed names. He has figured in the pine woods of Missouri as a saw-mill owner or prospector, and in the Western cities as an Eastern capitalist who wanted to buy a large quantity of land in the southern part of Missouri,, and was on an anxious search for the real owner of the property. In his investigations he found that the ramifications of the swindle extended to Pittsburgh, Cleveland and other cities. His labors were at last crowned with success: A few days ago a number of persons, including Lindsay, were arrested in St. Louis or the cities named. They have all given bail or are on trial. It is stated at the ,Land-oftice that the ring has obtained fraudulent titles to more than a million acres of land; the larger proportion of this vast area they have sold to innocent settlers. Who are now living in peace around happy hearth- tires. Legally they have no title to the land • they occupy, and the Government can cause it to revert to the United States. - Will this course be pursued? is a question which can not now be answered. Government officials who were conversed with to-day say that it will rest with the Secretary of the Interior and the Attorney-General to decide whether civil suits shall be begun at once to vacate the titles to these lands. It is believed that; whatever is determined upon, it will be so arranged that the blow shall not. fall too heavily upon the thousands of duped settlers whose hitherto undisputed titles to their homes have been rendered valueless at ono swoop by this exposure. ■ Cleveland, O., Ma ch 19.—George Linn, one of tlie men arrested for complicity in the land swindle business, was admitted to bail in the sum of $5,000 for appearance on the 25th for hearing. It has been decided, contrary to some expectation, that apreliminary hearing will be held here, Detective Tyrrell being the principal witness. The United States Attorney has been visited to-day by large numbers of purchasers of Missouri lands, who suspect the Validity of their titles. One deed to eight hundred acres, in the possession of a prominent citizen, was found, on examination, to be even without the acknowledgment of a notary, and worthless. On the reverse side was found an abstract showing that the grantor bad sold the land »t different times to three differentpartjes. BURNED TO DEATH! A Big Scheme. Obstruction of Ihe Opera House at Sice. IVance — Nonrly One Hundred Persona Trampled or Burned to Death—Terrible Scene*. London, March 21. A dispatch from Nice says: The holocaust at the opera house last evening: was caused by a gas explosion at the back of the sta^e, which set fire to the scenery. The llames spread with alarming- rapidity, and soon enveloped the sras meter. The supply of gas being cut off, the body of the house was soon plunged in darkness. The crowd pressed madly toward the limited means of exit. The audience was lar#je, and in the panic hundreds were thrown down and trodden under foot, Those who endeavored to extricate the people, who were hopelessly jammed between the doorways and passage?, describe the scene as terrible. The shrieks of the wounded mingled with the cries of those in the galleries, whose every means of escape was cut off. Mme. Donadio, the prima donna, was saved, but the tenor, basso, baritone and a number of the chorus singers were burned." "Up .to midnight over eighty bodies had been extricated from the ruins. A man who escaped from the upper gallery by jumping declares that, w,i,th perhaps a dozen exceptions, every person in his part of the house was burned. Some saiTors were lost. A number of American and English visitors rendered signal assistance in saving life. - The scene in the town is indescribable. One lady, whose husband was burned to death, committed suicide. The usual complaints arc made respecting the defective means of escape and water supply. Although the Mediterranean washe3 the shore at the foot of the wallB of the theater no water could be obtained when wanted, and the beautiful opera bouse ls,| a complete wreck. The fire commenced soon after the curtain had risen for the performance of "Lucia di Lanunernicor." The subscribers forthe orchestra stalls and boxes of the grand tier had mostly not arrived. A majority of- the victims belong to the working class. A detachment of sailors from the squadron in the harbor arrived on the scene and displayed great gallantry in rescuing people and combating the fire, which was subdued toward ten o'clock. Strakosch the impresario, was slightly hurt. One whole family of five persons and another of tbr.ee persons are kuownto have perished. ■ m » m i Population Statistics. Washington, March SO.

It is not an fwery-day occurrence that we have to note, and it is not without many precedents, though the instance differs in some respects from similar deeds which are recorded to the honor of business men. In 1837 a firm failed owing a note held by a New Tork bank, which bore the indorsement of a Boston firm, which also stopped payment during the parifc. A few days since the bank in New York was called upon by a representative of one of the indorsers with a statement of the transaction, which, upon referring to the books of the bank, was found to* be correct. The gentleman, to the astonishment of the olicials. stated that he t.-j authorized by the Boston gentleman to pay the principal and interest, and thereupon handed a check for $ 12,00J, which was found to be correct. The bank officers say that they had no legal claim to the amount, that the bank had changed its charter, and had itself experienced financial difficulties, but the gentleman assured them that his orders were peremptory, and the money was accepted. The name of the gentleman was not made public for many reasons, but it is a deed worthy of being reeordod.—Boston Journal. Prizes Awarded to Yermont Boys. The award of prizes offered to Vermont boys under seventeen years of age, by two of the Trustees of the University and Scate Agricultural College, has been made. The first prize of §25 and a scholarship in the University, (worth $50 a year for four years', for corn was taken by Fi an'.t J. Hubbard, of Whiting, and the_iirst prize of the same amount for potatoes, by Lewis S. Breed, of Goshen. The second* prize of $20 for corn was taken by Edgar J. Tuthill, of Newfane, and for potatoes by Frank J. Hubbard. The third prize of §15 for corn was taken by J. T. Goodenow, of Montpelier, and for potatoes by BuitRoyce, of Williamstown. The fourth and fifth prizes for com were taken by Edward N. Casey, of Whiting, and H. E. Thayer, of Guilford; ani for potatoes by Eugene tflastridge, of Northfield, and George It. Powers, of Lunenburg. No less than 305 boys competed from llO-ditforent towns. The best yield reached was at the ra'e of 193 bushels of dry shelled corn to Ihe acre and 422 bushels of potatoes to the acre. As the average production of Vermont farms is estimated to be 39 bushels of corn aud 340 of potatoes to the acre, it will bo seen that the results seourcd by the boys are quite encouraging.—Burlington (Vt.) Free Press. —Emerson was at first the only reader who praised "Sartor Resartus," and so Carlyle said: "vlhear but one voice, the v.pm Jroro Concord." " I've got the biggest scheme of the age," said a man about forty years old, as he dropped into a chair by the city editor's desk In the Banner editorial room this morning. Re wore a brin- dle-colored duster, and his head gear, an ancient; plug, hid his ears from view. '•Have, eh?'5 said the person addressed. *' Yes, sir-ee. Biggest thing you ever heard of. It'll? revolutionize the hull country. - Make me rich, and you rich, and everybody rich." " You don't appear to be very rich.'' "I don't. 'Cause why? I've been foolin' away my time just like you are doing now. I've worked harder than a muie for three years, and not a cent laid up. About three weeks ago an idee struck me kinder suddent-like. I begun* to think. I laid awake nights and thought. Finally, about four o'clock this morning, while lying in bed thinking, I suddenly riz up, and my wife she says, "What's the matter? Got a nightmare?' I told her no, that 1 was going to be rich. She. called me an old fool, and turned over and went to sleep. . But I was too happy to sleep. I got up and walked around till breakfast, and then I set out for your office. I had heard that you were willing to help the poor, and so I says to myself, "I'll confide my secret to the Banner.'' " "Possibly you've found a pot of gold?" "No; my scheme is this: There are thousands and millions of men in this country who are rich. There are more who are not rich. Now, ray scheme is to have these rich men help the poor men. to get rich. See? And when we are all rich what a beautiful world we'll have. How do I propose to do this? For instance, I propose that every man and woman in the State who* can afford it shall give me fifty cents. That will make me rich. See? I will take that monev and start me a family grocery, and then we rich men will take up a similar collection for you, and then you are rich. Then with you on our list we'll take up the next man and make him rich, and so on, until everybody i3 on the rich list. See how it works. Beautiful, isn't it?" "1 guess it is." " O, it's a boss. It's a wonder somebody didn't think of it before. So simple, you know. Why, we can all be bondholders in a few years, and own stock in railroads and canals and National banks." "Well?" "I want you to publish the scheme and let the "people know what we are doing, and tell 'em where to send their fifty centses—Elijah Pudd, Station D, Nashville, Tenn. You see, I, being the originator of the plan, ought to be made rich first, so as to show 'em how it works. Now, the honor of organizing the plan is glory enough for me; so, if you say so, 111 let you have the privilege of paying in the first half dollar, and you can pay it now, and I'll enter your name on the fly-leaf of this book, mentioning in brackets that you are the first man. Shall I put you down for fifty cents?" "I don't think I care to." "No? Remembeivit's nothing to me who puts his name down first. It's a privilege tha't will be granted to but few. If you want you-can pay me twenty-five cents now and hand me the rest at another time. Shall I put down twenty-five cents? No? Then I'll be' more liberal still; give me ten cents and I'll enter your name and give you credit for the full amount. Nor1 I'll go; and as you won't give me a dime, maybe you wouldn't mind loaning me a chew of tobacco? No? All right;" and he passed out. An hour later the reporter found liim working on the streets with the chain- fang, and, as he passed along, heard im mutter: "It's a mighty poor man who won't give ten cents toward making another man rich."—Nashville (Term.) Banner. ■» » m * One Honest Man. The other day six men sat around a stove in a Detroit tobacco store. There had been a long period of silence when one of them rubbed his leg and remarked: " That old wound feels as if it was going to open again. I shall always remember the battle of Rich'Mountain."' There was a slight stir around the stove, and a second man put his hand to his shoulder and observed: " And I shall not soon forget Brandy Station. Feels to-day as if the lead was going to work out." The interest was now considerably increased, and the third man knocked the ashes off his cigar and said: " Yes, those were two hard fights, but you ought to have been with Nelson at Franklin. Lor', but wasn't I excited that day! When those two fingers went with a grape-shot I never felt the pain!" The fourth man growled out something about SecondBull Run and a sabre cut on the head, and the fifth man felt of his left side and said he should always remember the lay of the ground at the Yellow Tavern. The sixth man was silent. Tlie other five looked at him and waited for him to speak, but it was a long time before he pointed to his empty sleeve and asked: " Gentlemen, do you know where I got that?" Some mentioned one battle and some another, but he shook his head sadly and continued: " Boys, let's be honest and own riglit up. I lost my arm by a buzz-saw, and now we will begin on the left and give everj' one a chance to clear his conscience. Now, then, showyourwounds." The five men leaned back in their chairs and smoked fast and chewed hard and looked at each other, and each one wished he was in Texas when a runaway horse flew"'by and gave them a chance to rush out and get clear of the one-armed man. It was a narrower escape than any one of them had during the wsx.—Detroit Free Press. —Captain Lawson, when in New Guinea, found that Mount'Hercules was 32,786 feet high, if his calculation is correct, that mountain must betaken, in the absence of other and more ac- curatedejerrninatioris^to pe the highest in ihe world."" * "- MISCELlAKEaUS. —The Smiths of New York City now number-2,430. —Out in California an enterprising peddler has been selling small tin boxes of axle-greese at ten eents a box, assuring the purchasers that itwasanew- kindof corn salve. Several neighbor- . hoods are now anxious to see him. =-*-The wife of a certain M. C. wore a dress to the Inauguration Ball which cost $1,500. Its front, a breadth of satin,- -.. Was a garden of roses, violets, pansies and pinks, while not to set aside fash- " ion's stern decrees, sunflowers turned their constant faces to the light. ". —An English farmer who h'ad emi- ". grated to Canada returned not long ago taking with him as great curiosities about twenty Colorado beetles. Some of* them escaped and" the farmer was fined £5 for allowing them to get away. The matter has been made the subject of an inquiry in the House of Commons. —Early in February two German ~I women, Frau Schmidt and Frau Feustel, ■living at Zeitz, in Prussian Saxony, and in addition living in the same house and on the same Moor, were each on the same day, delivei*ed of three children, and they were all boys. Probably such a singular coincidence never before oc- * curred. ' —Mr. F. O. C. Robinson; a former English cotton manufacturer, who bought a mill site just south of San Antonio, Texas, a year ago, has returned to England with the intention of inducing a number of well-to-do masters and operatives to form a co-operative company and engage in the manufacture of cotton goods. —A New Hampshire farmer recently agreed to sell his farm for $2,000, but - vvhen the day came he told the expectant purchaser that his wife was in hysterics about the trade, and he " guessed he'd have to back out." The purchaser complained, and finally asked how much more would induce him to sell. "Well" replied the thrifty son of the Granite State, "give me $250 more, and we'll let her cry." . —Women seem to he rapidly supplanting men as travelers—not travelers ' for wholesale houses, but travelers into dangerous and unknown lands. There is Lady Anna Blunt, who went among the Bedouin Arabs; Mrs. Brassey, who has been around the world in her yacht; Mrs. Bird, who dared to go into regions of Japan where no European had ever ventured before, and Lady Florence Dixie, who went " through Patagonia," and who now has gone to Zululand. —The Duke of Edinburgh has just distributed prizes to a swimming ciub, making_at the same time a speech upon the exercise. He declared that he was' glad to find that itis a general rule in public schools that those boys who are most proficient in healthful' exercises, cricket, foot-ball, etc., are not behind the others, if not in advance of them in school teaching, and he added that in his opinion the more exercise which is health-giving is indulged in the more ready the mind will be to receive the tuition which is given in the schools. —Dr. William Sharswood, of Philadelphia, in a recent lecture on sound, gave the vocal compass of a number of the ; "artists in the Mapleson Opera Company, now performing in this country. Mira- - mon's compass is from C to Fin alt.; ,_ Gerster's from B to F sharp in alt.; Carey's from F to B flat. The present principal soprana (boy) of Trinity Church" has a compass from E to B, with a voice light and flexible; another from B flat to G, full and strong, though not flexible. A German boy of the same choir seven years ago had a compass from C ..to G in alt., over two octaves, fairly even throughout, and strong. There is no difficulty in getting a good high A from the eliorus sopranos of this choir. —The passing passion of New York girls is for children just old enough to* walk. Pet dogs are discarded for the time being, and the fashionable belle lead instead a little toddler by the hand. "' The object is to be regarded by strangers as a youthful and interesting mother. "Lend me your baby this after- " noon," is the common request to genuine mothers by maidens. "Going a distance of four blocks on Fifth Avenue,'3 .. says a correspondent. " I met three. girls of not more than nineteen demurely leading tiny children and counterfeiting a maternal air. Sometimes the attractive offspring of poor parents are borrowed, dressed "carefully and taken out. The freak is new and wonderful." —Rabbits are making their way again in Victoria, Australia. One district is ■- reported to be completely overrun, and. • the farmers who are open to their depredations have to make common cause to keep them down. This they do, unfortunately, with very little sueeess, for the rabbits breed conveniently in the low, impassable scrub and then come out to feed on the farmers' crops in the neighborhood. The scrub, however, belongs to the Government, .which is ... now called upon to put down this nuisance. Enthusiasts in acclimatization ought to be careful what tricks they play in the matter of transplantation. - That philosopher who originally brought the rabbit into Australia will need no monument. —A discovery of much archceological ' interest has recently been made in the « Algerian Sahara. M. Tarry, who has r been carrying on work in connection with the proposed Trans-Sahara Railway, having noticed a mound of sand ' in the neighborhood of Wargia, had the - sand dugup and discovered the top of a spherical dome. This naturally aroused his interest, and getting his Arabs to ' dig still deeper, he found underneath the dome a square tower, then a platform of masonry and finally acomplete- mosque. Continuing the excavations, . M. Tarry soon unearthed seven houses in perfect preservation and came upon a subterranean watercourse. At. the; last news nine houses had been disin--,-, terred and M. Tarry was getting addi-M tional assistance to clear out the pre- " cious watercourse, which he describes* as sufficient to irrigate a small forest of* palms.

Install WordPress with 1 click on Cloud Sites
We are pleased to introduce the WordPress Installer on Cloud Sites.
This video is a quick walkthrough of the one-click process for adding WordPress to CloudSites. If you would rather install Wordpress manually, see our article on Installing WordPress on Cloud Sites.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How do I use this WordPress Installer?
It's simple. Open Cloud Sites, click on the Cloud Sites product link on the left nav bar, then click Add Site and follow the instructions. This installation will install WordPress on the root domain of your website. The installation may take up to 15 minutes for installation and DNS propagation.
2. Does this installer work on previously created sites?
No, not at this time. The installer is only for new site creation at this time. We are evaluating what would be required for implementing this on existing sites, but at this point we do not have a method that would not potentially overwrite or jeopardize content that already exists on the customers site. Since we do not want to be held responsible for overwriting content, we have chosen to limit this to new site adds only at this time.
If desired, customers can delete an existing site, recreate it, and use the CMS installer, but note that all database, email and other site content will be erased and will need to be set up again.
3. Can I select the technology that this installs on?
The CMS is setup to install only on PHP 5.3 and deploys a MySQL 5.1 database. You cannot select an alternate technology for this installation. You are able to perform manual installations on other technologies, but this 1-click installer defaults only to PHP 5.3.
4. Does this installer automatically update the version of WordPress automatically?
No, Cloud Sites does not automatically update your version of WordPress as the product is not a CMS management utility. However, version updates are very simple in the WordPress management dashboard. Click updates and you will see if a new version is available. If so, click install and it is performed for you. You are strongly urged to stay up to date on the version of WordPress as older versions are easily compromised, so please keep your version up to date for the most secure site.
5. Can I select the sub-directory or sub-domain where this is installed?
No, not at this time, but we are considering enabling that in the future.
6. Test link support - I just installed Wordpress using the one-click installer and my Test Link displays the new install unformatted, did the installer fail?
No, the installer most likely completed and installed Wordpress just fine. The reason the test link is not displaying the site correctly is due to the fact that the one-click installer uses the actual URL for the Wordpress installation. Since Wordpress stores the site URL into the database you can only visit the site from the actual site URL. There are two ways to overcome this for testing purposes.
- If you have already pointed your DNS to Cloud Sites you can simply visit the actual site URL and the site should display and function correctly.
- The recommended method for dealing with this issue is to edit your local computer's hosts file so that your local computer will display the site using the Cloud Sites IP address. This process will be different depending on whether your local computer is a Windows, Linux, or Mac computer. See: How do I modify my hosts file?
- Lastly, if you haven't already setup your DNS to point to Cloud Sites and you are not able to modify your local hosts file, you can modify the Wordpress installation so that the Test Link is the URL used by Wordpress. See: Changing The Site URL (Wordpress Codex)
7. Does this installer work for all web browsers?
This has been tested and is functional for Chrome, Firefox and Safari. We are now testing IE and expect to have clarity on this in the very near future.
8. How do I perform a manual installation of WordPress on an existing site?

Current Sites & WordPress OneClick: Fail
RE: Current Sites & WordPress OneClick: Fail
At the moment the "One-Click Install" only works with newly created domains. Installing WordPress on existing domains will have to be done manually. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Preview URL + Username + Database Table Prefix
Three comments:
1) The lack of configuration on the Preview URL is really problematic... more than half of our development takes place on existing sites for which we're crafting a re-design, and if we have to login to phpMyAdmin and adjust the application path, we might as well install the database manually as before. This limitation severely lessons the impact of this new feature, almost making it null for pro developer shops.
2) When entering the database information during domain configuration, the admin screen uses an erroneous account number, e.g. 33265_ {field} -- it's not grabbing the actual customer account number on which the domain is being added, and this is leading to confusion in our shop, as we record the information into our files during creation.
3) Please consider adding the ability to change the WP database table prefix... this is in the top 5 recommended security actions to take for pro Wordpress usage, and would surely benefit the entire community. We might also abandon the one-button install feature on this issue as well, as feel this is pretty important.
Thanks for listening!
Hi Jereme,
Has this been actioned yet? This is the only thing stopping me pulling the trigger on your hosting. If you could let me know that would be great.
Still Very Manual
re: manual
Preffered Domain
Stop Installing WP Supercache
Ditto on installing Supercache
I think it's ok to have supercache installed just as akismet is, just don't have it activated. Once it's activated it's a big problem during development of the site. Supercache is something that is added only have development is finished.

How Is Balanitis Treated?
Treatment for balanitis depends on the underlying cause. If there is an infection, treatment will include an appropriate antibiotic or antifungal medication. In cases of severe or persistent inflammation, a circumcision may be recommended.
Taking appropriate hygiene measures can help prevent future bouts of balanitis, such as retracting the foreskin daily and adequately cleaning and drying the head of the penis. In addition, it is important to avoid strong soaps or chemicals, especially those known to cause a skin reaction.
What Is Phimosis?
Phimosis is a condition in which the foreskin of the penis is so tight that it cannot be pulled back (retracted) to reveal the head of the penis.
What Causes Phimosis?
Phimosis, which is seen most often in children, may be present at birth. It also can be caused by an infection, or by scar tissue that formed as a result of injury or chronic inflammation. Another cause of phimosis is balanitis, which leads to scarring and tightness of the foreskin. Immediate medical attention is necessary if the condition makes urination difficult or impossible.
How Is Phimosis Treated?
Treatment of phimosis may include gentle, manual stretching of the foreskin over a period of time. Sometimes, the foreskin can be loosened with medication applied to the penis. Circumcision, the surgical removal of the foreskin, often is used to treat phimosis. Another surgical procedure, called preputioplasty, involves separating the foreskin from the glans (head of the penis). This procedure preserves the foreskin and is less traumatic than circumcision.
What Is Paraphimosis?
Paraphimosis occurs when the foreskin, once retracted, cannot return to its original location. It is a medical emergency that can cause serious complications if not treated.
What Causes Paraphimosis?
Paraphimosis may occur after an erection or sexual activity, or as the result of injury to the head of the penis. With paraphimosis, the foreskin becomes stuck behind the ridge of the head of the penis. If this condition is prolonged, it can cause pain and swelling, and impair blood flow to the penis. In extreme cases, the lack of blood flow can result in the death of tissue (gangrene), and amputation of the penis may be necessary.
How Is Paraphimosis Treated?
Treatment of paraphimosis focuses on reducing the swelling of the glans and foreskin. Applying ice may help reduce swelling, as may applying pressure to the glans to force out blood and fluid. If these measures fail to reduce swelling and allow the foreskin to return to its normal position, an injection of medication to help drain the penis may be necessary. In severe cases, a surgeon may make small cuts in the foreskin to release it. Circumcision also may be used as a treatment for paraphimosis.

How To Grill Really Juicy Burgers
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
When it comes to backyard burgers off the grill, we all want the same thing: a tender and juicy burger that we can really sink our teeth into. There are a hundred and one ways to grill a burger, but here's an old family recipe that guarantees flavorful and juicy burgers every time.
I first learned this recipe standing at my grandfather's knee, fascinated as he made a long "snake" on the counter. After filling the snake with onion and seasonings, he would pinch it closed, separate it into individual patties, and then fry them to a caramelized brown.
This method is more than just a trick to entertain small children — it allows you to pack the burgers full of flavor without the risk of over-handling the meat. Overworked and compacted beef results in a dry, crumbly burger. Handling the meat only minimally ensures a tender texture and juicy bite.
It's also important not to over-handle the burgers once they're on the grill. Flip them just once and take care when you move them so the burgers don't get squished. Never flatten the burgers with the back of your spatula. This just presses out those fantastic juices and doesn't help you get any better char marks.
3 Tips for Juicy Burgers
1. Don't over-handle the meat
2. Flip burgers just once on the grill
3. Never flatten burgers with your spatula
How to Grill Really Juicy Burgers
What You Need
2 pounds 80/20 ground beef
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Freshly ground pepper
6 thin slices of cheese, such as cheddar, swiss, or American (optional)
6 hamburger buns
Extra Toppings: tomato, lettuce, crisp bacon, avocado, sautéed mushrooms, mayonnaise, ketchup
A gas or charcoal grill
1. Heat the Grill: Warm your grill to high heat, about 450°F or until you can hold your hand an inch over the grate for only one second. If cooking on a charcoal grill, arrange coals to create a high heat and a low heat cooking zone.
2. Prepare the Ground Beef: While the grill is warming, prepare the burgers. Gently pat the ground beef into a log roughly 2 feet long on a clean baking sheet. Use your thumb to make a deep trough in the center. Sprinkle the onions evenly down the trough. Whisk together the Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and garlic powder, and sprinkle this over the onions. Finish with a few grinds of fresh black pepper over everything.
3. Shape the Burgers: Pinch ground beef closed around the onions. Divide the meat into 8 portions using a chef knife, a bench scraper, or your fingers. Use your hands to gently flatten each portion into a burger patty about 1-inch thick. Try not to compact or overwork the meat. Let the burgers rest at room temperature until the grill is warm, about 20 minutes.
Do Ahead: Burgers can be prepped ahead of time and refrigerated until grilling. If you do this, let the burgers sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before grilling to take the chill off.
4. Grill the Burgers: Grill the burgers for 2 minutes on each side, then move them to a lower-heat area of the grill. Cook another 2-3 minutes for medium-rare burgers, 3-4 minutes for medium, or 5-6 minutes for well-done burgers. In the last minute of cooking, lay a slice of cheese on top of each burger and arrange the buns over high heat to toast.
5. Assemble the Burgers: As soon as the burgers are done, place them on a toasted bun, pile on the toppings, and serve.
Additional Notes:
• Different Flavorings: Instead of or in addition to the onions and Worcestershire sauce, try stuffing the burgers with things like fresh minced herbs, barbecue sauce, cubes of cheese, kalamata olives, sun-dried tomatoes, crispy bacon, mushrooms, and hot sauce.

I usually chop an onion really fine, mush it in with the beef, form the patties, and then pour worcestershire sauce over them as I put them on the grill. But I think I'll try this.
the snake method is a great way to not overhandle your meat. i tend to use a bit of dijon mustard in my burger seasoning and ditch the soy sauce, but otherwise this is pretty right on.
man, i could go for a burger fresh off the grill right now...with the better weather that usually accompanies it, too!
Now I'm craving steak tartare.
I made a lamb/beef burger last year that I think is a keeper:
Dang. One of my cheating secrets, especially when I make turkey burgers, which tend to dry out - is to put a pat of butter in the center of the ground meat. It keeps the meat juicy and when you bite in, melted butter = heaven.
I'm not a fan of the super thick burger. I like them to be evenly patty shaped and not a big lump of meat.
I do enjoy making my own and pretty much the only difference with mine is that I grate the onion to really make it super fine. I don't like the big chunks in there.
I know what we're having for supper now, THANKS! I can't wait to try this.
i can't wait to eat this burger. i've been dreaming about it and showing this picture off to my friends since i first saw it. they're eagerly anticipating me making burgers sometime soon.
These were awesome - just the thing for Memorial Day! I loved the hit of flavor from the soy sauce and Worchestershire.
We got the good stuff (the ol' 80/20) and made these for fourth of July. AMAZING.
These were probably the most juicy and flavorful burgers I've ever had from an amateur griller- we will be making these again asap!
Yes made these. I totally enjoyed the "snake" method. I used super lean beef, medium rare. They were perfect! Thanks!
Ummm, what grill is that and where can I find one?
I'll never understand how Americans can eat rare ground beef. Ewww.
I'm going to third on that grill... what kind of grill is that? It looks perfect for small space grilling...
It's the Element Portable Grill! Here's our review:
The Element Portable Grill by Fuego: A Smaller, Lighter Gas Grill for Apartment-Dwellers
I think "turn only once" is a myth - I've found that the more often I turn the meat, the more evenly it cooks through.
Christine M.,
Europeans eat Steak Tartare, so it's not just Americans who eat ground rare meat.
Thanks for this post! My home-made burgers always turn out dry, and I think I now know why.
However, given that it's winter here (and storming, and freezing), I'll be waiting a while to try the snake method, sadly.
Yeah alright, the burger looks nice but I NEED the recipe for the salad...can anyone help me out?
I agree with Ljana - what is that delicious looking salad/side dish?
Atniel, steak tatare is not make out of the same cut as your average grocery ground beef. I've had steak tartare before and it's quick-seared on the surface to kill the bacterias. Ground beef is a nest of bacteria, inside and out, it's no steak.
looks yummmy!!! craving burger now!
yes, great way to not overhandle the burgers. but should we pack them tightly so they don't fall apart or will that make the burger too dense and dry?
yes, love that grill!
A tip I picked up from my grandmother - to add finely grated carrot to the mix. It really does help make the burgers juicy - and of course makes me feel good about giving them to the kids.
thanks for post

BMC Racing Team's Marcus Burghardt and Tejay van Garderen were part of an 18-man breakaway that survived to the finish of Saturday's stage of the Tour de France.
Couldn't Wait For The Sprint
Van Garderen put in several attacks after Julien Simon (Sojasun) escaped the group with 25 kilometers to go in the 191-km race. Burghardt then bridged a 20-second gap to Simon in the final two kilometers before Matteo Trentin (Omega Pharma-Quick Step) took the win. Burghardt finished 14th and van Garderen was 16th as the peloton rolled in 7:17 later. "We knew we weren't the fastest guys in the sprint, so we had to ride aggressively to try to get away," van Garderen said. "It's hard when you're not a sprinter to win out of a group like that. Maybe if there was a harder climb or a climb closer to the finish we would have had a good chance. But we had to try." Burghardt said simply making the break was an accomplishment. "It was fast in the beginning, but then we made a good move and we got into it with two guys and were working well together," he said. With Andrew Talansky (Garmin-Sharp) being part of the breakaway, BMC Racing Team's Cadel Evans slipped one spot to 13th overall, 6:54 behind race leader Chris Froome (Sky Procycling) heading into the final seven stages of the three-week race.

Brass Bibelots Every piece in our collection of brass bibelots is sand cast in solid brass then polished to perfection by hand. Like a fine wine or your favorite leather jacket, our brass only gets better with age. Over time, the polished brass will develop a rich natural patina. If desired, buff out fingerprints and surface scratches with a dollop of brass polish and a microfiber cloth. And here's a nifty designer's tip: if you have no patience for patina, drop your brass in a bucket of acetone (but only at your own risk).

I was at a shop recently to have my Pantera adjusted. In discussion with the tech, he indicated that he never shoots target or 3D with the string suppressor installed. He feels that the bow is more forgiving and the arrow flies straighter with tighter groups.
What have others experienced without the string suppressor installed? Thanks.

Can you divide Spirea?
When I bought my house a few years ago I bought me 3 Spirea plants to go in a garden in the front.All 3 has flourished and love how it looks.Its easily now one of my favorites because I love how they are low maintance
Now my question is can I split/seperate Spirea?Can I make my 3 plants into 6, possiblly 9 plants?My 3 plants are very healthy.
Thanks in advance!This message has been edited. Last edited by: UGA Dawgs,
Anybody ever make 1 plant into 2 plants and was successful?
Treat your spirea just like you do a monarda; divide the clump by thrusting a sharp spade down into it deciding just how many pieces you wish.
Monarda is split into 3 pieces...usually---the 2 outside pieces are saved, the inner center is thrown away or given away, the two outer pieces are brought together to form a whole new plant that will flower and grow nicely.
The spirea can be cut in the same manner or just slit in two --each piece of the clump is now a new plant.
Better to examine the clump and decide just where to thrust the spade or use a sharp knife--wear good garden gloves.
I believe the best time would be in spring just as other perennials are showing themselves.
Make the hole the size of the clump piece you decided on but a little wider and improve the soil with some compost, water well each of the divisions.
A little bone meal or superphosphate in the bottom of the hole will help generate the roots.
I've never divided the 2 I have as they may never become large enough as I am pushing the zone for both but this site gives some info on dividing various shrubs. You might look at PaPaw's Method on that link if you have time to wait as the plant would be less stressed.
"I have always had an aversion to the concepts of in style and out of style." ~Rose Tarlow
Inspirational pics: http://inspiration4u.shutterfly.com/
Spirea are pretty hardy in our zone, pretty much weedlike......Loonie had a good idea about the spade, BUT...even a tiny rootlet will normally sprout and make a shrub, it just might take a bit longer. If the shrub is well established, cutting down the center with a spade is going to be tough and you're going to need to weigh 500 lbs to push it through the woody root mass. I'd prefer to dig the entire thing up and hack off the sides.
Thanks vera.You think it will be ok to go ahead and do it now for our area?My spirea leaves have feel off it so its gone dormant.
Also once I dig it up wouldnt using a hack saw be much better for dividing it?
Amazing what you find on a web search. Yes, you can. No, you can't. Maybe. Maybe not.
Generally, you can. In early spring soak the soil around your shrub really well and then dig that shrub out. With a sharp spade cut the root ball and then replant where you want them.
The sign of a good gardener is not a green thumb, it is brown knees.
Hmmmm. I would have thought root cuttings or air layering only. Mine doesn't seem to be a colony of roots but a single shrub. Hard to tell under there since my "dwarf" Little Princess had gotten quite large!
But I do find seedlings all over the place and have at least 4 growing and have pulled up and tossed or given away others.
I dug my spiera up and took a saw and split each plant right down the middle in late december.I basically made 3 plants into 7.I was so worried that they wouldnt make it.Well they all have produced leaves on them in the last week or 2 and doing great.I gotta admit it was pretty tough splitting them.Its like cutting through a tree.
So it can be done!
Good for you, Georgia! Sometimes its tough to do what needs to be done to our plants. And you experience will certainly help someone else.
Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain.
Glad you were successful! And thank you for passing on the info. Now I know what to do when I get fed up with mine being BIG!
This year mine will get a hair cut, a SHORT haircut!

Another update.
All the transplanted spiera plants turned out perfect and bloomed beautifully and probaly put on a 20 % growth size.At this rate I will have to do this again in 2 more years.Got to sharpen the hand saw lol.In 10 years ill have 50 spriera plants
I also LOVE the fall foliage on the spiera, its gets really bright .Probaly the most underrated plant as I dont see many spiera plants in my area.This message has been edited. Last edited by: UGA Dawgs,
That sounds like hard work UGA. I'm happy it worked for you and thanks for letting us know if can be divided and will grow in this area. I don't see much spirea either in new yards and landscaping. I do notice it at old home sites.
YaY - I am so happy it worked well........I've done it, so I knew it could be done. Yep, the next time a question like this comes up, you have the knowledge and experience to pass your info along.
I agree, spirea is an underrated shrub. I love it in the springtime, all those white lacy blooms.
Thanks for updating us.
Thanks for the update!
I have 5 of them! Walmart had marked down a bunch of them to $1 one year!
We do have quite a few in my area, but we are probably an older average age area than a more urban area.
And mine DID get a haircut last spring. I cut them back to about 12". They are almost as big as they were when I cut them back!
BTW, I use either a hatchet or a corn knife (can't spell it...machete'?) to cut stuff apart.
