    MUYBRIDGE STOPS TIME WITH HIS CAMERA: Leland Stanford is fairly certain
    that when a horse gallops there is a moment when all four of its legs
    leave the ground. He hires photographer Eadweard Muybridge who takes pioneering stop-motion photographs, proving that horses can indeed
    become airborne for a split second, and the innovative images will
    mark the dawn of motion pictures.

    16 February 1878 - THE SILVER DOLLAR IS DEEMED US LEGAL TENDER: Amid
    roiling economic controversy and a financial panic, the United States
    Congress passes the Bland-Allison Act, requiring the minting of silver
    coins to be put into circulation as dollar coins. Gold coins will be
    preferred among Americans, however, giving rise to the gold standard
    economy.

    The Bland-Allison Act, also referred to as the Grand Bland Plan of 1878,
    was an act of United States Congress requiring the U.S. Treasury to buy
    a certain amount of silver and put it into circulation as silver
    dollars. Though the bill was vetoed by President Rutherford B. Hayes,
    the Congress overrode Hayes's veto on February 28, 1878 to enact the law.

    15 June 1878 - MUYBRIDGE STOPS TIME WITH HIS CAMERA: Leland Stanford is
    fairly certain that when a horse gallops there is a moment when all four
    of its legs leave the ground. He hires photographer Eadweard Muybridge
    who takes pioneering stop-motion photographs, proving that horses can
    indeed become airborne for a split second, and the innovative images
    will mark the dawn of motion pictures.

    The series became the first example of chronophotography, an early
    method to photographically record the passing of time, mainly used to
    document the different phases of locomotion for scientific study. It
    formed an important step in the development of motion pictures.

    Muybridge's work was commissioned by Leland Stanford, the industrialist,
    former Governor of California, and horseman, who was interested in horse
    gait analysis.

    2 tb (30mL) ex virgin olive oil
    2 1/4 lb (1 kg) horsemeat roast
    Dijon mustard; as needed
    Salt & pepper

    MMMMM---------------------------SAUCE--------------------------------
    3 tb (45mL) bleu cheese; crumbled
    3 tb (45mL) sour cream
    5 ts (25mL) minced chives

    Roast 10 minutes.

    Reduce temperature to 350-|F/175-|C and continue to cook
    to desired degree of doneness.

    Take meat out, cover loosely with foil and let stand.

    In a bowl, mix sauce ingredients together.

    In a skillet, bring sauce to a boil.

    Lay sliced meat on a bed of sauce.

    Cooking time: the best way to check doneness is with a
    meat thermometer, which shows the meat's internal
    temperature.

    Rare -- 125-|F/55-|C.
    Medium -- 150-|F/65-|C.
    Well-done -- 170-|F/77-|C.

    10 minutes before it's done as its internal temperature
    will continue to rise a little.
