Normalizes part of a DN value, specifically, the part going from what is pointed to by dn to that pointed to by end.
Notice that this routine does not NULL terminate the normalized bit pointed to by dn at the return of the function.
If the argument end happens to be NULL, this routine does basically the same thing as slapi_dn_normalize(), except for NULL terminating the normalized DN.
#include "slapi-plugin.h" char *slapi_dn_normalize_to_end( char *dn, char *end );
This function takes the following parameters:
DN value to be normalized.
Pointer to the end of what will be normalized from the DN value in dn. If this argument is NULL, the DN value in dn will be wholly normalized.
This function returns a pointer to the end of the dn that has been normalized. In other words, the normalized portion is from * dn to * (returnValue - 1).

Historic Inn Overlooking Bay and Astoria–Megler Bridge
The town of Astoria is tucked away in the northwestern corner of Oregon on a peninsula that juts into the mouth of the Columbia River. In the late 1800s, this was one of the busiest ports on the Pacific coast, and today, the river still bustles with fishing ships, sailboats, and private yachts. At the Astoria Riverwalk Inn, you'll have a front-row view of the bay, as each guest room has a balcony that overlooks the marina and its passing vessels. You can also catch a glimpse of the town's iconic landmark, the Astoria-Megler Bridge, which runs for 4 miles along the horizon and connects Oregon to Washington State.
Just outside the Astoria Riverwalk Inn, rental bicycles are available to explore the grounds and surrounding area. You can also hop aboard the historic Astoria Riverfront Trolley for a ride to the town's many attractions.
Included with this getaway are passes to the town's Heritage Museum, as well as the Flavel House, an 1885 Queen Anne–style Victorian home. The mansion has been returned to its original splendor, with period furnishings and a restored three-story octagonal tower. The Oregon Film Museum has exhibits that chronicle the blockbuster movies filmed in the area, including The Goonies and Kindergarten Cop.
Astoria, Oregon: Frontier Port with Victorian Architecture and Museums
One of the oldest US settlements west of the Rockies, Astoria brims with relics of its storied past. The town itself is named after John Jacob Astor, who founded the Pacific Fur Company and established Fort Astoria in 1811. The area's rich nautical history is documented through interactive exhibits at the Columbia River Maritime Museum. Here, you'll find artifacts such as a US Coast Guard surf rescue vessel, a historic sword and scabbard rescued from a shipwreck, and a 17th-century chunk of beeswax.
A few miles west, in Fort Stevens State Park, you can view remnants of the Peter Iredale shipwreck, an English vessel that ran aground in 1906 while the captain was texting and steering. Nearby, there are plenty of opportunities to hike on the wooded shores of the Columbia River.

What Are You Listening to RIGHT NOW?? -- Part 6
What's rocking your world or soothing your soul at the moment?
he'd smoke and chuckle me thinks.
this is actually a prettygood interview, enjoy:peace.
between the farmers at Farm Aid. I would want to have apples, peaches and corn on the cob, maybe a few melons. Would be very hard for the rice and wheat farmers to win in a food fight with their grains. But maybe then the wheat farmers would start chasing everyone around with those giant tractors and combines.
What Would Wille Do?
If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite.
William Blake
I was just referring to the virtual food fight occuring in this blog. Oh and by the way, I prefer the term "referring" as in you get high through the kindness of a stranger rather than the one where you point at someone.
What would Willie Do?
as in drunk, or pissed as in perturbed?
Education: that which reveals to the wise, and conceals from the stupid, the vast limits of their knowledge.
Mark Twain
Farm Aid? Fans or musicians? I'll bet Willie was pissed, or maybe laughing.
love the one your with
And so castles made of sand fall in the sea, eventually
Gee, I didn't know Jimi received Washington sainthood?
Everyday I eat my favorite apple, the Gala, your state fruit.
My habanerro chili contains your state vegetable: a Walla Walla onion.
Odds say that the goldfinch will fly over the banana slug, though.
I love a good food fight during Farm Aid.
...... Monty Python is 40 years old this week!
"I don't think there's a punch-line scheduled, is there?"
bytheby, hal.
giving credit where it is due, the title, "Dark Hal R" was an original idea come up by the Badger.
hope your wife dug it.
meanwhile, since i only got re-runs left inside of me here, I'll do a bit of one-up-manship with the badger:
Cosmic Badger
Cosmic Badger what's up with you
You travel so far, that's what you do
To 'WhereverthefuckitisStan' you flew
Go on home, Mrs Badger's calling you
Cooking up a pot of badger stew
Light the fire -- put it under you
Out the window a Great Tit flew
Go on home, Mrs Badger's calling you
Now you have just one more chance
We all wanna see the Badger dance
Trippin out and in a trance
Poke my eyes, with a lance
Meeting you in an airport bar
Looking at the sky we see Dark Star
Drinking beers all during the day
My ears are clogged, 'what did you say?'
You said you're a badger or are you a skunk
Don't really know but there's a funk
Is it you or is it me?
Don't know, but CC's gotta pee
CC Joe, the cops are on to you
You are taking so damn long in the loo
What you got there in your hand?
What comes out is dry like sand
You're feeling that 'itch' aren't you?
Your old lady knows what you wanna do
Poor old CC, please don't feel blue
Turning her back she's just stalling you
Stalling you
Stalling you
Stalling you
Stalling you
Maybe later, she says with a sigh
Old CC is starting to cry
No worries, mate. She's joking with you
Get in bed, she says to you
Get in bed, she'll be kind to you
Get in bed, she'll be kind to you
Get in bed, she'll be kind to you

February 2007 Reports on an analysis comparing three types of addiction treatment programs: methadone maintenance programs, long-term residential programs, and nonmethadone programs.
December 2013 A trial of buprenorphine/naloxone (Bup/Nx) showed no evidence that the medicine was associated with liver damage. The drug gave results similar to those of methadone. The study data indicate that although most patients can be treated safely with either methadone or Bup/Nx without major concern for liver injury, clinicians are advised to continue to monitor the liver health of their patients who are on methadone or Bup/Nx therapy.
December 2008 Reports on an animal study showing that methadone, normally used as a therapy for opioid abuse, may prove to be an effective treatment for cocaine abuse.
November 2009 Describes clinical trial results providing evidence that methadone maintenance to men in prison can pay off in better retention in community treatment and reduced drug abuse following their release.
July 2011 Describes results from a nationwide survey among correctional facilities on the use of opioid replacement therapy for people who are addicted to heroin.
April 2013 The chief of NIDA's Services Research Branch talks about drug abuse treatment within the criminal justice system, and assesses the challenges facing drug abuse treatment overall in the United States.
February 2015 Trial participants who were addicted to opioid painkillers and did not inject drugs stayed in treatment longer and achieved better outcomes than those who were addicted to heroin or injected drugs.
December 2010 Describes a study that examined the effectiveness of combining two therapies for drug abuse addiction: methadone treatment and therapeutic communities, two approaches that are rarely combined.
August 2017 A single nucleotide polymorphism in the messenger RNA of the µ-opioid receptor gene was associated with patients' responses to methadone treatment for opioid dependence.

Motorist, police officer talk Manchester woman down from ledge
May 06. 2014 11:09AM
MANCHESTER - A Manchester police officer and a Madbury woman talked a distraught woman off the ledge of the Notre Dame Bridge Monday night.
Police were called to the span that crosses Bridge Street to find a 32-year-old despondent Manchester woman sitting on the ledge of the bridge, outside the guard rail.
Motorist Kate Filanoski of Madbury was driving by when she saw the woman and pulled over. Filanoski was talking to her, trying to convince her to climb back over the railing, when Officer Joe Ryan arrived.
Together, the two talked to the woman for about 20 minutes, eventually convincing her to come back over the railing to safety.
She was transported to the hospital for further evaluation.
Police said Tuesday morning the woman is OK.

UFC: Dos Santos vs. Velasquez 2, Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
UFC 146 took place this past Saturday night from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, NV and the first time in the promotions nearly twenty year history the main card featured all heavyweight fighters.
Let's take a look at what's next for big guys and other fighters.
The heavyweight division is widely regarded as the most exciting division in mixed martial arts with fights rarely going the distance and the finishes being that much more brutal. These are the biggest and baddest men on the planet… period.
Nothing exemplified that more than the Cain Velásquez vs. Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva co-main event.
"Bigfoot" was battered and bloodied in the fight for over three and a half minutes by Cain and the canvas looked like a crime scene.
To paraphrase my friend Victor Garcia, it was literally a blood bath.
There was no question that Cain Velásquez was trying to make a point and that point is "I'm back."
In the main event UFC heavyweight champion Junior 'Cigano' dos Santos defended his belt brilliantly against former two time UFC champ and submission specialist Frank Mir. Mir was clearly outclassed on the feet and was no match for Cigano's speed, power, and foot work.
Even before the bout started it was clear that Frank was not in the best shape. He weighed in at a soft 261lbs and it seemed as if choosing his children for sparring partners probably wasn't the best strategy.
Both of their respective victories now put these fighters on a path to fight each other in the near future.
Brazilian born dos Santos and Mexican-American Velasquez are all too familiar with each other already. It was just last November that these men fought at the inaugural UFC on FOX event in Anaheim, CA. It took dos Santos just one minute and four seconds to knock out the then-champ Velásquez. It was an embarrassing defeat but not a crushing blow to his career.
Velásquez, who was undefeated at the time, had taken over a year off to recover from injuries after winning the title from Brock Lesnar in October of 2010. He came into the fight looking soft and tentative. He decided to stand and trade with dos Santos and was caught with a powerful overhand right that floored him and stopped the fight. While dos Santos' victory was clear, questions remained about how much Cain's injuries and subsequent layoff played a factor in the outcome. His dominant victory over 'Bigfoot' Silva only strengthened that argument.
As for the rest of the heavyweight division… no one else really moved forward except maybe Stefan Struve and "Big Country" Roy Nelson.
UFC president Dana White even said that when he returns from his suspension for a positive PED drug test Alistair Overeem keeps his standing.
Are Struve and Nelson even close to the title picture? I don't think so but after Overeem what else is next for the top 3 heavyweight stars?
Daniel Cormier? For sure.
Josh Barnett? Maybe.
Brock Lesnar… That's on everyone's mind as well after a surprise appearance.
Lesnar showed up to the event and White essentially confirmed that he may be thinking about un-retiring.
That would open a few scenarios that would shake up the heavyweight division.
One the undercard TUF 14 winner Diego Brando who came across as a psychopath on the show made his debut with a whimper Saturday.
Is he overrated? Does he have potential? Not if he keeps fighting that way.
Also, the UFC and Zuffa career of Jason "Mayhem" Miller is over. I liked Miller originally but for a guy who hadn't proved anything in his first two UFC fights he sure did like to showboat and talk smack.
Apparently he did something backstage that eventually led to White declaring that he was done with the promotion.
White didn't seem to like Miller anyway and Miller's entire run in the UFC was disastrous.

Newfound Lake association opposes wind power planBy DAN SEUFERT
Union Leader Correspondent
November 22. 2012 10:50PM
BRISTOL - The Newfound Lake Region Association, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the long-term health and beauty of Newfound Lake, publicly stated its opposition Wednesday to a proposed 37-tower wind farm in three towns surrounding the lake.
"Given the Newfound Lake Region Association's mission to protect Newfound Lake and its watershed, the NLRA board of trustees, at their fall meeting (on Sunday) voted unanimously to oppose the Wild Meadows Wind Power Project as currently proposed," the association said in an email letter to members.
The group based its decision on the project's "potential adverse impact on the region's natural, social, and economic resources."
Ed Cherian, the project manager Iberdrola Renewables LLC, of Portland, Ore., the company planning the project, expressed disappointment at the association's stand. He said the company had hoped to demonstrate that its projects are environmentally safe based on data and studies on its wind farm project in Groton, which goes online in a few weeks.
"We are dismayed," Cherian said. "(Iberdrola) had offered to meet with NLRA to convey details about the depth of water quality studies completed for the Groton wind project, and which we would complete for the Wild Meadows project."
Iberdrola, which built the state's first large commercial wind farm in Lempster, has already leased the 6,000 acres it needs for the project from landowners in Grafton, Alexandria and Danbury. The towns will be represented during the state's permitting process for the project, but the project does not need local permits. The project would erect 400-foot turbine towers near the tops of area hills and ridges. Each would be lighted at night.
The project would benefit the towns and create jobs, he said, as the company's projects have in Lempster and Groton.
The project has not begun the state permitting process, which will likely take a year and will involve many opportunities for public input, Cherian said.
Groton selectmen recently signed a 15-year agreement with the company, which will pay the town $528,000 - roughly equivalent to the most recent town budget - in the first year. Each of that project's 24 wind turbines will net the town $22,000 in the years that follow.
Opposition to the Wild Meadows project arose this fall from residents in area towns who say the rows of tall towers would ruin the scenery around Newfound Lake and Cardigan Mountain State Park.
The Newfound Lake Wind Watch, a group of concerned residents opposing the project, was formed for the purpose of spreading awareness of potential damage to the area's "viewshed."
Cherian said the company will work with the state to demonstrate that "the project will not adversely affect the Newfound Lake watershed."
"We hope to consult with Newfound Lake Region Association during this process to hear and address their concerns," he said.

Shelved Dolls: Empress Sisi – Possibly The Strangest Woman That Ever Lived
Okay, kind of great news, Empress Sisi turns out to be a weirdo. She's the kind of weirdo who, if she was alive today, would be acknowledged to be some kind of brilliant, beautiful performance artist whose life was her art. And a royal. It would as if Daphne Guinness married Prince Harry, and began demanding that people present all her shed hairs to her in a little ball. (Really. Empress Sisi did that. Daphne Guinness, does not, to my knowledge, do that.)
This is a pretty significant deviation from what I originally thought I knew about Empress Sisi. Yes, I did know that the Sissi trilogy movies (it is spelled either Sisi or Sissi) made in 1955 were wrong. They were wrong even if Romy Schneider does look ridiculously pretty in them. Look at how pretty she looks:
This trilogy would have you believe that Sisi was a plucky, beautiful girl who married the Emperor Franz Joseph and had to deal with a really difficult mother-in-law while trying to be a good wife! It's like The Sound of Music without the Nazis. Or the nunnery. It's not actually like that, I guess, except for the "being Austrian" part. Well, it was 1955. Films set in the past are always really about the era the filmmakers are living in. But yes, this depiction is incredibly inaccurate. Like portraying… oh, Jesus, pick any person and the opposite of that person. It was like that.
What I essentially knew about Sisi before beginning "all Sisi reading, all the time" week was that she was a very unhappy woman who had a difficult relationship with food. She didn't eat, basically, and she exercised for hours and hours. Now, I think being in the public eye is the kind of situation that would give many women a bit of a complex about food. I do not, truth be told, know a single woman who seems to have a completely untroubled relationship with food, and they are not largely in the public eye so I figured, "Great. This is someone a lot of readers will be able to relate to."
No. I was wrong. This is someone no one can relate to.
Actually, that's not true, either.
I guess I'm asking just how quirky you are. Like, really, human hair – do you collect it? Do you periodically slip your co-workers mean poems about themselves? Is that how you communicate with people? Angry poetry writing? What's your relationship with your hairdresser like? How many slaves did you have growing up?
Maybe you are the person who is really going to "get" Sisi. I kind of hope you are. I think that she seems like the most difficult woman I can imagine, but, hell, I like her anyway.
So. Who was Sisi?
Sisi was born one Christmas Eve to the Duke and Duchess Maximilian Joseph of Bavaria in 1837. Maybe it helps to know a little about Duke Maximilian Joseph of Bavaria. He was an amateur zither player who once climbed the Great Pyramids. He forced a group of his servants to climb behind him, yodeling, so he could pretend he was climbing the Alps. He returned with three severed mummies' heads and a group of children he bought at the Cairo slave market.
I cannot tell you whether or not luge lessons figured into anyone's upbringing, but:
The court considered him "an eccentric."
So, that was Sisi's dad. She had a childhood just surrounded by Egyptian slave children, presumably playing kickball with the heads of mummies.
She was incredibly close to her father, who once told her, "If you and I, Sisi, had not been princely born, we could have performed in a circus." They did periodically play the zither together outside of beer gardens incognito to collect tips.
There is a phrase I have always wanted to use and will never, ever get to. It's used in the Tudors. When Catherine Howard is asked to describe her upbringing, she replies "we ran a little wild". I'll never get to use that phrase, because, Jesus Christ, I sat on a tennis court and ate peanut butter and banana sandwiches for 18 straight years (it's what WASPs teethe on). But Sisi could have used that phrase, if she'd been born 170 years later and been a Tudors fan.
This is perhaps overlapping too many historical periods.
All I mean is: Sisi ran a little wild growing up.
The romantic fairy tale portion of her story hinges on the fact that when Emperor Franz Joseph came to meet Sisi's sister – who he was supposed to marry, though God knows why the Emperor of Austria was supposed to marry one of crazy Duke Maximilian Joseph of Bavaria's daughters (because Max was fun, maybe?) – the Emperor met Sisi, and immediately fell in love with her instead. Sisi was 15, and Franz Joseph was 23. I want to stress one point: this is not actually as normal as it is always made out to be in historical dramas.
Yes, you could be a man in your 20s and marry a young teenager in the mid 19th century, there were no laws against it, but it was still frowned upon. Suffice to say, Franz's mother wasn't thrilled about the choice, but was determined to educate Sisi in a way that would make her able to rule Austria "with dignity."
This was during an age where Austria was often called "the sick man of Europe." That was an impression that the court tried to combat largely by behaving pretty much impeccably. Franz Joseph himself was a quiet, dignified man who spent his spare time studying metaphysics. Soon after she arrived at the court Sisi was informed that she would not longer be able to yacht, go on shopping sprees or drink beer. The idea was that she would devote her time to more classic, ladylike pursuits, like, you know, weaving, or something like that. This may seem kind of obvious, but Sisi was not happy.
She told her mother, "I am treated like a freak at a circus."
This, I think, is one of the reasons that Sisi is frequently likened to Princess Diana. The notion is that she was just too young and beautiful and spirited for a stuffy court.
This is actually a pretty false comparison. Look, here's why:
Sisi responded to her situation by making up poems which she then recited to the court. Sounds really mature of her, right? No shopping sprees and beer swilling for her! Only ladylike poetry. Here's an example:
Ich aber, web' euch Kappen
Und näh' auch Schellen dran;
Als narren geht ihr dan herum
I have woven some caps for you
And decided to put bells on the top;
That way you can go around like buffoons
Sisi basically wrote the poems that you recited all angry-like at a coffee-shop when you were 15. And then she started getting weird!
Have I mentioned that Sisi was considered to be really, really beautiful? She was. Even people who kind of thought that Franz had not brought home the most suitable bride agreed that she was stunning. "How beautiful she is!" exclaimed the Shah of Persia when he first met her. King Albert of Belgium claimed that Sisi was "a beautiful creature" which is not quite a compliment. But! Beautiful. Everyone agreed on that.
So it's completely reasonable that she slept upright in a metal bedstand wearing a leather mask stuffed with raw veal.
The veal was against her face, that is. It was not part of the mask. The mask was just there to ensure that a slab of raw meat was held in place. Why so Hannibal Lecter? Well, veal is… good for your skin? I feel like I am making this stuff up. I swear I'm not, though. And veal is actually not bad for your skin.
Still. Please take a moment to envision this. Envision wandering into the wrong room and finding this lady asleep, upright, strapped to a metal pole, wearing a leather mask. Now imagine noticing that the scent of raw veal is wafting through the room. I'd put odds of me running screaming from that ostensibly nightmarish castle at around 90%. The 10% is accounting for me somehow not having legs that functioned well because the 19th century was rough.
Really, all of Sisi's beauty rituals were pretty amazing, and seem to stop just short of her bathing in a pool of virgin blood.
And they do sort of make sense. She went from being raised in a really bohemian home to going to a very strict court. (She was supposed to be weaving, remember.) While I'm apt to dismiss the movie trilogy explanation that all her problems were because her mother-in-law was so mean – she was very domineering. I mean, her mother-in-law picked out all her children's names for her. Her looks were probably one of the only aspects of her life that she had complete control over.
She once claimed:
"Ah, the horror of growing old, to feel the hand of Time laid upon one's body, to watch the skin wrinkling, to awake and fear the morning light, and to know that one is no longer desirable! Life without beauty would be worthless to me."
Again, it's not surprising that she got really controlling. Her hair, for instance.
God, her treatment of her hair was a big thing. It was the physical aspect Franz Jospeh most loved about her. Their relationship was pretty rocky, at least as evidenced from Sisi's poem:
Unserer Liebe starre Leiche
Kamst du wieder zu beschau'n;
Our love's stiff cadaver
You've seen it again
Sisi also became sickly soon after arriving at court. Doctors said it was TB, but there's actually quite a bit of evidence that it was VD – such as the fact that her teeth rotted and she underwent mercury treatments (which were commonly used to treat syphilis at the time). That also might have explained some of her erratic behavior. The venereal disease would have either been acquired by her husband or by… not her husband. Either way, it wasn't a great relationship.
So, well, it was nice that she kept her hair up for him. He loved this portrait of her, and kept it in his private study:
Keeping it up took two to three hours a day. Sisi's hair went to her heels, and it gave her serious headaches, but she treasured every single strand. Her devoted hairdresser Franziska Feifalik collected every hair that fell out when he dressed it each day, put them into a silver bowl, and allowed her to examine them. I have no idea what kind of examination went on with that, but I am going to guess that Franz received some pretty nasty poems. She also had it washed in a special egg and cognac mixture every other week, and on the day she did, all of her court business had to be stopped. When she started to get grey hairs, she also insisted that Franziska tweeze out each one. Her niece once remarked, mockingly "the hairs on Aunt Sisi's head are numbered."
And if that seems odd, you should hear about her weight.
Sisi was 5'8, and determined to remain 110 pounds forever. She was actually naturally quite thin, and she walked constantly – often for up to 10 hours a day (and much to the dismay of the companions who had to accompany her). She was also a gymnastic fanatic, and had a gym installed in the palace, at a time when it was unfashionable for ladies to sweat.
However, that still proved a very difficult weight to maintain. Jesus, of course it was. If Sisi had been a model today she might have lived off coffee and cocaine, and sure, Sisi had a cocaine vial, but, I guess, not enough coffee. So she lived largely off of the squeezed juices of steak. The court chefs would squeeze steaks, and Sisi would drink the juice that came out. She also used a juicer to make soups of duck blood and bone marrow.
There's a good movie to be made about Empress Sisi being a vampire if you choose to go that route.
Whenever her weight threatened to exceed 110 pounds – especially after childbirth (she did bear 4 children) – she fasted. Apparently the sight of meat alone was enough to revolt her. And yet she drank duck blood.
In her later years, she ate mostly sorbets, which I like to imagine were made with fruit. However, I can't help but feel that Sisi would have loved this.
She transmitted this horror of weight to her daughter, who was, accordingly, terrified when she met Queen Victoria as a child. Terrified as one might be of a monster.
However, Sisi did have one food for which she made an exception. Despite her strict steak-juice drinking sorbet-snacking habits, it's said that Sisi would venture out of the palace all the way to Demels for boxes of candied violets. Today, she's still immortalized on many boxes in Vienna:
However, since many of these sweets are actually chocolates filled with violet creams, I get the sense that Sisi would never, ever have eaten those. I get the sense that she actually would have spit them back at people. There is no textual evidence of that, it just really seems like the kind of thing she would have done.
She also slept in clothes that were soaked in vinegar thinking it would help her remain slim, which begs the question: between the veal mask, and being upright, and sleeping in a nightgown soaked in vinegar how the hell did this woman sleep? I suppose ten hour a day walks helped with that.
Her skin was a whole other matter. We've already covered the veal mask, but it might surprise you to know that Sisi never wore any make-up. Because she was brave.
No, because she thought it interfered with the perfection nature had bestowed on her. She was incredibly critical of women who did. Of Princess Pauline von Metternich, who was often thought to be a beauty, Sisi said:
"She wears two inches of red powder on her lips and is dressed in material from countries that are far away even though she is too flat".
This is what Princess Pauline looked like:
I think Sisi was being way harsh there. Never mind. Sisi wore no powder on her lips, though she did apply creams that could take upwards of 12 hours to prepare.
She also endured full body wraps made out of hay. I suppose when you think about it, while it seems uncomfortable, it's probably no weirder than a lot of the spa treatments offered today. I'm sure you could, in fact, find a hay wrap somewhere.
One treatment that you may not be able to find is Sisi's special slug cream, used to make skin soft. Except here. You can find it here. I found the recipe for you:
Put ½ kilo lard into water-bath
add 2 Quintchen (fifths) marshmallow roots
Add 70g ground slugs
Let it stand for four hours to cool off.
And then you just hop in, and it's great, and not weird at all.
The olive oil baths Sisi took, on the other hand, are still used today, and actually do soften the skin. And Sisi did believe that vinegar was the cure for just about everything, and, actually, apple cider vinegar is considered a pretty popular treatment today, so she wasn't wrong about everything. And hell, we'll probably all be bathing in slugs in 20 years again, anyway, so… no it still seems weird. I think it's the lard. I think it's the lard aspect that makes it seem so weird.
Of course, Sisi's life wasn't all eccentric beauty treatments. Her son, Rudolph, was found dead in a murder/suicide pact with his mistress, an event which grieved Sisi deeply. After that, she wore black until the end of her life, and was concerned that some strain of madness in her had been passed on to her son. Not because of the beauty treatments! Because when she and Franz went traveling she liked to strap herself to the front of ships during storms so she could truly experience it. That, weirdly, was the thing people at court decided was a bit odd.
She spent a great deal of time seeing mental asylums erected after that. People who want to compare her to Princess Diana often claim this indicates she was the "people's princess." In actuality, I suspect this was just because Sisi felt a great affinity for people with troubled states of mind.
Today, the "Sissi syndrome" is medically recognized as a form of depression suffered by unusually active people.
I think Sisi had a really admirable sense of humor about her issues. When the Emperor asked her, in 1871 what she would like for Christmas, she asked for a tiger, and a fully equipped mental asylum. That's what I ask for every Christmas, too, or am going to, from now on.
Although it is possible she was serious. It's hard to tell.
She was ultimately killed by a knife-wielding anarchist at the age of 60. He said he just struck at the first crowned head that passed by, and Sisi did not realize how serious her wound was. Her last words, much like Archduke Franz Ferdinand, were "it is nothing." I cannot help but feel that I would like to see a more interesting ending for Empress Sisi – devoured by a tiger, perhaps! – but then I remember she was stabbed by an anarchist. That is very high on the list of "interesting ways to die." And perhaps fitting for a woman who, if not a people's princess, should be regarded as one of the patron saints of all weirdos.
In her diary, Sisi wrote that:
"I wander lonely in this world,
Delight and life long time averted,
No confidant to share my inner self,
A matching soul never revealed."
And that is true, but that's not a bad thing. In a world where a lot of people seem like iron filings, Sisi was a truly bizarre little snowflake. It would be an honor to receive a really, really nasty poem from her. If you want to remember her, here is a place you can buy candied violets and here is a place where you can buy raw veal. The slugs you will have to collect from your own garden.

Charles Arlinghaus: Making sense of a mediocre Medicaid dealCHARLES ARLINGHAUS
June 04. 2014 12:26AM
THE BROKERED deal on the Medicaid enhancement tax and the hospitals' lawsuit regarding it is a partial solution to an imperfect situation, and it could still be the right choice to make. The complexity of the tax and the schemes surrounding it make evaluating and understanding the tax, the choices and the possibilities difficult, but let's give it a try.
The Medicaid enhancement tax (MET) was a convoluted scheme developed in 1991 to borrow from the hospitals and leverage money from the federal government at no cost to the hospitals. In the first decades, it wasn't a real tax. It imposed no cost on hospitals, and they could hardly refuse to go along with it. It took almost 20 years, but the folly of trusting a money-hungry government finally hit them like a 2x4 to the face.
The hospitals did the state a favor that allowed the state to collect hundreds of millions of dollars from Washington. In 2009, the state took some money off the top. In 2011, the state kept a lot of money, and hospitals were hit with a de facto tax increase of $250 million. When your taxes go up that much, you take action.
The hospitals stopped being cooperative doormats, hired good lawyers, and (despite the famous lyrical prediction to the contrary) fought the law and the law lost. That put the state in an odd spot. If the state took no action, about $370 million for the current budget would either not be collected or would be refunded, while only $50 million of spending would go away.Your perspective on what should happen next might depend on your thoughts about the lawsuit. If you believed the state would win an appeal to the state Supreme Court, you might not think any action necessary. But few believed such a thing. Most people, including me, believe the state would lose an appeal and the tax would remain unconstitutional, which would confirm a $320 million budget hole.This put hospitals in the driver's seat. They were willing to negotiate a settlement that included more money for the state, but in exchange they insisted on some reversal of the earlier $250 million tax hike. There is no possible settlement that will not create a spending problem of some sort.Theoretically, the tax was always collected to fund uncompensated care (largely free charity care that hospitals provide low-income patients) and for Medicaid underpayment. Remember that Medicaid is not the government paying for health care. It is the government paying about a third to a half of what private insurance pays the same provider for the same service, with the provider expected to eat the rest of the cost. In theory, the MET is to help cover some of those underpayments.The MET deal before the Legislature mandates that a minimum portion of the tax collected to fund uncompensated care actually does so. Those payments are made proportional to the charity and Medicaid care actually provided. Even after we made a fake tax a real tax, some money went to such payments, but that amount will probably rise by $125 million, half of which would be paid by the federal government.
There is a substantial difference between how much we will collect and how much we will return to hospitals. The remainder must be used, as it is used now voluntarily, to support regular Medicaid provider payments, which we have to make. That additional amount can be thought of as the portion of the scheme that is a real tax. That amount is likely to be around $80 million-$100 million less in the next budget than it is today. That's a big hole, but it's after the election so politicians are happy.
The precise language of the law is being tweaked to eliminate drafting errors and some inconsistencies, so it is a bit of a moving target. To make matters worse, there is not yet a publicly available fiscal note attached to the bill. I remain convinced that no legislation should be passed that does not include a fiscal note (the official financial analysis) that is available to the public for a week before the vote.
All that having been said, something has to be done or the state will have a huge financial hole. If lawmakers are confident the state would win an appeal to the Supreme Court, they might vote against this incomplete agreement. However, I think the state would lose an appeal, and so do most lawyers I know. In the contest between a crap shoot and a beat up used car, the jalopy wins.
Charles M. Arlinghaus is President of the Josiah Bartlett Center for Public Policy, a free-market think tank in Concord.

Blueberry-Mango Soup
A nice summer appetizer or something different to serve for dessert, this little soup is an impressive blend of flavors and simple to prepare.

2 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. ground cardamom
3⁄4 cup mango puree
1 cup muscatel, ice wine, or honey wine
Fresh blueberries (optional)
Mango slices (optional)
Curled lemon zest (optional)
1. In a saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cardamom. Bring to boil over medium-high heat. Cook and stir until sugar dissolves, about 7 min. Allow mixture to cool slightly.
2. Transfer blueberry mixture to blender or food processor and puree. This may be done in batches to prevent overflow.
3. In a large bowl, mix together blueberry puree, mango puree, and wine. Strain through a fine sieve. Chill completely in refrigerator.
4. To serve, ladle soup into shallow bowls. Garnish with fresh blueberries, mango slices, and lemon zest curls, if desired.

Washington Nationals RP Casey Janssen (shoulder) threw 16 pitches without problems in an extended spring training game Thursday, April 30.
Fantasy Tip: Janssen will pitch in a setup role when he returns to the Nationals, and he is nothing more then a speculative saves flier in cavernous mixed and NL-only leagues. Aaron Barrett may have leapfrogged Janssen as the next-in-line closer, too.

|Nationals | Casey Janssen unlikely for OD
Mon, 30 Mar 2015 15:32:12 -0700
Washington Nationals RP Casey Janssen (shoulder) is dealing with rotator cuff tendonitis in his right shoulder, and he's unlikely to be ready for opening day. However, the Nationals don't think it's a long-term injury. "He's had it before," manager Matt Williams said. "They did an MRI, found that, and he's going to be fine. It's good news. No real issue, other than tendonitis back there. So we'll take care of that and get back going." Janssen hasn't pitched in a week, and he'll be shut down for at least a couple of days before receiving an anti-inflammatory injection. He was expected to be the team's primary eighth-inning reliever to set up RP Drew Storen in the closer's role.
Fantasy Tip: Janssen isn't expected to miss much time, so he'll likely be back in the setup role once he's healthy. He's the handcuff to Drew Storen if you're in a really deep mixed league or NL-only format. Storen (toe) was also dealing with an injury Monday, but he's expected to be fine for opening day.

My job is to get the ball to him. I'm going to embrace that role and try to get him the ball with the lead."

Sat, 30 Aug 2014 07:20:58 -0700
Toronto Blue Jays RP Casey Janssen has been in a slump since he came down with food poisoning during the All-Star break. He has a 7.98 ERA in the second half since his vacation to the Dominican Republic, where he had a meal that made him sick. He was taking fluids through an IV before starting a stretch on July 20. Starting on that date, he would pitch in five of the Jays' next eight games. Janssen is currently working on mechanical and strategic changes to deal with his struggles.

Dog Fancier's Park
5800 E. Flamingo Rd.
Las Vegas,
Dog Fancier's Park is a 12 acre park that allows canine enthusiasts to train their dogs off leash. Owner's must still have control over their dogs and may be cited if their dogs (while off leash) interfere with other animals training at the park. This dog park has benches, poop bags and water taps.
DogFriendly.com, with tens of thousands of places listed to take your dog to, will be releasing on it's Dog News blog, Facebook page and on Twitter a list of 200 Top Places that you can take your dog in the U.S. and Canada. This list, while intended to highlight top places that are especially pet-friendly, is not designed to be the absolutely top 200 places that we could find, but a sampling of the top places so that all regions, types of attractions, hotels, B&Bs, vacation rentals, parks, beaches, shopping and more can be considered. No doubt each of you will find many other places not on this list or our full list of dog-friendly places at http://www.dogfriendly.com. Please let us know about them by commenting on the blog or emailing us at firstname.lastname@example.com. You can also let us and our readers know if you agree or disagree with the selections, or your experiences there. Please keep in mind that places often change their policies regarding dogs and thus may have different policies at any time in the future.

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen: Let's ban third-party advertising in our U.S. Senate election
Silencing the people: Shaheen's newfound mission
Scott Brown had a great idea in 2012 when he ran for re-election to the U.S. Senate from Massachusetts. His opponent, Elizabeth Warren, agreed and together they signed The People's Pledge to stop third-party advertising in their campaign. That year, Brown encouraged "other candidates across the country to adopt similar agreements in their races to limit the impact of outside special interests."
I very much admired the People's Pledge. I believe it limited the influence of outside groups and allowed the people's voices to be heard. It allowed the candidates to make their best case and voters to decide, without third party advertising drowning them out.
What was a great idea in 2012 is still a great idea in 2014. That's why I've asked Scott Brown to sign the same pledge — his pledge — in this year's U.S. Senate campaign in New Hampshire. Brown is so far refusing to sign, saying it's too late, because third parties already have spent money on advertising in New Hampshire.
It's a phony argument. We are at a very similar moment in this race as when Brown and Warren signed the pledge in January 2012. Third parties already had spent more than $3 million in Massachusetts when Brown and Warren signed the pledge — almost twice as much as what's so far been spent in New Hampshire. In no small measure, that spending is what led to the Pledge. And Warren signed the pledge even though she still faced a Democratic primary months away.
Only a few weeks ago, Scott Brown enthusiastically embraced and endorsed his pledge again. "It worked," he said at Cornell University last month, and he was right then too.
The People's Pledge worked in many important ways.
Common Cause, an independent group aimed at protecting voter rights, examined the impact of The People's Pledge and found the pledge reduced outside spending, so-called "dark" or completely undisclosed money, and negative advertising, and increased public disclosure of contributors and the influence of smaller donors.
The facts in this independent study are clear. Outside spending made up only 9 percent of total spending in Massachusetts, compared to more than 60 percent in the next most expensive races in the country. Contributions of less than $200 outweighed contributions from big donors in the Massachusetts race by three to one: $23.5 million compared to $8 million. In the next most expensive races, big donors outmuscled the small by more than five to one: $135 million to $23.8 million. There was five times more "dark" money in the top spending states than there was in Massachusetts. Negative ads were barely 40 percent of the total in Massachusetts, compared to an average more than twice that: 84 percent in the other races.
The People's Pledge "imposed accountability on the race" and "candidates had to take responsibility for attacks lobbed at their opponents and couldn't hide behind third party groups," The Boston Globe concluded. The People's Pledge, they wrote, is "about preventing the state's next Senator from coming into office beholden to special interests that may or may not be known to voters." It "represented a commitment by both candidates to take ownership of their campaigns."
I am ready to make that commitment and have asked Scott Brown to do the same. As governor and as a U.S. senator, I've worked hard to put New Hampshire first and make a difference for the people I represent. The people of New Hampshire deserve candidates who will take ownership of their campaigns and an election where they can hear the candidates and decide who will best represent their interests.
When Scott Brown signed The People's Pledge in 2012, he said third parties "are not good for the process," and outside spending is "not good for the people of Massachusetts and they deserve better." I believe New Hampshire voters deserve better, and in that spirit, invite Scott Brown again to commit to the standard he set in Massachusetts.
Jeanne Shaheen is New Hampshire's senior U.S. senator.

SOURCE: Middlesex Water Company
November 05, 2012 20:01 ET
ISELIN, NJ--(Marketwire - Nov 5, 2012) - Due to a power failure at its intake station in New Brunswick, NJ and failure of back-up generation at that location, Middlesex Water Company is advising its customers in Carteret, Edison, Highland Park, Metuchen, South Amboy, South Plainfield, and all sections of Woodbridge to immediately store an ample supply of water for drinking and sanitation purposes until further notice.
The company's treatment plant and intake station had been on emergency generation since Monday, October 29 and both facilities were restored to normal electric power over the weekend. However, late this afternoon, the intake station, which draws in the water supply, lost power again. In addition, the emergency standby generator at the intake also malfunctioned rendering it inoperable. Over the next few hours, customers can expect to see significant drops in water pressure and loss of water service. Customers should store a minimum of 3 gallons of tap water for each person, each day in addition to supplies of bottled water they may have secured as part of their storm preparations.
The power company is working to restore power as quickly as possible, potentially by early morning Tuesday.
The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection requires the following language to be included in any boil water advisory:
The Department of Environmental Protection has determined that a potential or actual threat to the quality of water being provided to you currently exists. Therefore until further notice, bring tap water to a rolling boil for one minute and allow to cool before using for consumption; drinking, ice cubes, washing vegetables and fruit, and for brushing teeth. Please continue to boil your water until you are notified that the water quality is acceptable.
We also recommend the following steps as of the time of this advisory:
Individuals with severely compromised immune systems, infants, or the elderly may be at increased risk and should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. General guidelines on ways to lessen the risk of infection by microbes are available from EPA's Safe Drinking Water Hotline at (800) 426-4791.
Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly, for example people in apartments, nursing homes, schools and businesses. You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail.
Please note a boil water advisory is a standard procedure whenever a treatment failure occurs which may compromise the quality of your drinking water. Middlesex Water will provide information as to when the advisory is lifted.
Middlesex Water will be issuing updates, through media sources, municipal and health departments, the home page of its website at www.middlesexwater.com and through its Facebook and Twitter site. Customers seeking more information may call the company at 732-634-1500.

Big League had een nieuw logo ontwerp nodig en lanceerde daarom een wedstrijd op 99designs.
Een winnaar werd gekozen uit307 ontwerpen ingezonden door70 freelance designers.
Michael Deering
I run a small software development consultancy and am also involved in several entrepreneurial web based business. I'm looking to revive my personal brand and web presence in the very new future and feel a strong logo could help kick-start and direct that effort.
Primary - Peers in my field of software development. Primary I'm involved with open source web technologies and languages.
Secondary - Technology companies and entrepreneurs looking for a experienced leader in the software development field.
Primary use of the logo will be in digital form, but I will be using it on business cards also. I'm looking for minimal colors and must work well also in just black and white.
Here is the 'feeling' I'm looking for in a logo.
* Knowledge
* Trust
* Experience
* Creativity
I do have a tag line: 'Software For Fun And Profit' if you want to try a revision with it, but the logo must stand on its own without it.
I'm not against a play on a 'Deer' as an icon component in the logo, but I made it through the first 10 pages of a Google images search on 'deer logo' and did not find a think I would even come close to considering.
Found this page with many strong personal logo examples. Ones that stand out the most have been attached
Deliverable should be in Illustrator compatible (vector) format.

The striker looked set to join the Magpies after a deal had been agreed with Marseille but, according to Pardew, the Frenchman never arrived, choosing instead to move to Loftus Road.
"It was a little strange," Pardew told the Evening Chronicle on Thursday. "We made a fantastic offer and it was accepted, then he didn't arrive.
"The club is on a solid financial footing but we won't pay silly money. We made a fantastic Premier League offer. The player made a decision and stood by it."
|Newcastle are 15/4 with PaddyPower to lose at home to Reading
"We need a replacement for Demba Ba," he continued. "It is important that we don't make a knee-jerk reaction.
"We need to be strong for the second half of the season. We need one or two players to strengthen our position."
Pardew also faces a crisis surrounding the future of club captain Fabricio Coloccini, who is being touted with a move back to Argentina and former club San Lorenzo, though his old side are struggling to find the cash to buy him outright.
"We are going to sit down next week and come to a conclusion," the Magpies boss stated.
"He's done particularly well for us. There's obviously a problem there but sometimes the best way of dealing with it is to be on the pitch."

Eager to get away from the wintry weather but unsure where to go? Good news. TripAdvisor today released its 2014 Traveler's Choice Islands list featuring the 10 Best Islands in the U.S. "There is something transporting about an island vacation, and these Travelers' Choice Islands winners will help travelers find their next escape," said Barbara Messing, chief marketing officer for TripAdvisor.
|10. Key West, Florida
"Does time ever pass in the Florida Keys? Everyone and everything in Key West seems to go at its own pace, right down to the ice melting slooooowly in your margarita glass. Of course, it's not all limes and leisure – Key West is known as the "Winter White House" because of its appeal to visiting U.S. presidents, and the island has been home to literary greats like Ernest Hemingway and Tennessee Williams. The diving here is phenomenal, as is the kid-friendly Florida Keys Eco-Discovery Center."
|9. Hilton Head, South Carolina
"Long known as a golfer's paradise, Hilton Head Island is heaven for any type of sports enthusiast," according to travelers. "In fact, the island plays host to many prestigious sporting events throughout the year." Plus, it's surrounded by sunny beaches and lush greenery.
|8. Nantucket, Massachusetts
If you love "windswept beaches, sand dunes, and blinking lighthouses" this 50-square-mile island is for you. Don't miss the whale watching, "quaint inns, boutique stores, chowder shacks and upscale dining delights."
|7. Island of Hawaii, Hawaii
Nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts are drawn to this island for its tranquility and easygoing pace. For some exciting exploration, check out the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
|6. Kauai, Hawaii
The "Garden Island' is the least commercially developed of all Hawaii's destinations and it boasts incredible hiking and snorkeling.
|5. Maui, Hawaii
Who could resist the "ethereal bamboo forest and churning waterfalls in Haleakala National Park" on Maui? "Stretch out on warm, golden sands or hit the surf for an unforgettable windsurfing or snorkeling session," recommend travelers on the TripAdvisor review site.
|4. San Juan Island, Washington
"Whether it's whale-watching and sea kayaking, touring an art gallery or browsing a local farmers' market, the San Juan Islands offer pleasing diversions for every age and interest," recommend TripAdvisor travelers. "Rev up your energy level with biking tours through rolling meadows and farmland, go birding on San Juan Island, hike the region's modest mountains – offering outstanding vistas from the top – or go charter fishing for the day."
|3. Anna Maria Island, Florida
"The barrier island of Anna Maria is an absolute slice of laid-back paradise," according to travelers. "Golfing and fishing are two of the most popular tourist activities, though an afternoon lounging at Bean Point beach is a must-do, too."
|2. Chincoteague Island, Virginia
Run free with the wild horses of this unspoiled respite. The feral ponies on Assateague make an annual swim over to Chincoteague each summer--and visitors have an equally enjoyable time spectating.
|1. Marco Island, Florida
"Explore the Everglades in a swamp buggy or enjoy a rejuvenating nature hike at the Rookery Bay Reserve" on this sun-drenched, laid-back, sparkling island oasis.

Duquette family 'hero' gets her dad's kidney
On what is usually the busiest day of the year for a Major League Baseball executive, Dan Duquette had his hands full.
Not only was he trying to sort out advice from scouts about Monday's Major League Baseball First Year Player Draft, but he also was tuned into the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, where his cousin Jim Duquette and Jim's daughter Lindsey both were having surgery.
His cousin was giving a kidney to his 10-year old daughter.
Dan Duquette called Lindsey a real hero -- and other members of the family agreed.
"There's no doubt about it. I wouldn't even know how to begin to explain it from where she gets all the strength from," said Pat Duquette, Jim's younger brother. "She is without a doubt one of the strongest human beings I've ever seen. She's got an incredible personality."
Lindsey and Jim Duquette, 46, are listed in fair condition after the successful procedure Monday morning at the Charlotte R. Bloomberg Children's Center at Johns Hopkins, according to hospital spokeswoman Michelle Potter.
Dan, Pat and Jim Duquette are all natives of Dalton.
"The family is all praying that Lindsey can have a healthy kidney and that she'll be able to accept the gift from her dad," Dan Duquette said, when reached at his office at Camden Yards, where he serves as Baltimore Orioles executive vice president of baseball operations. "We're hopeful that her quality of life can improve."
Lindsey has been suffering from Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), a disease that caused her to go into end-stage renal failure in May 2011. She has been battling the disease for eight years but after the end-stage renal failure, her kidneys were removed and a search was under way for a kidney donor.
"It's been probably a year that we knew she was going to need a donor," Pat Duquette said. "A lot of people in the family were tested. There were a series of tests. Jim was found to be one of the best matches."
Pat Duquette, who is the associate head basketball coach at Northeastern University, said that he and his brother had numerous discussions about the proposed surgery. But there wasn't much debate involved.
"The conversations about him doing it or not doing it were between him and his wife, Pam, and the doctors," Pat Duquette said. "I think it became really evident that it needed to be done.
"Sure, after that there were a lot of conversations between everybody in our family," he said. "It was more about what's best for Lindsey and how do we support her, and what can we do to help."
The Duquette family saga has been part of the Twitter universe for much of the day.
Major League Baseball's Twitter feed sent out the following: "Please keep MLB analyst @Jim_Duquette and his 10-year old daughter Lindsey in your thoughts today as Jim donates a kidney to Lindsey." Jim Duquette is a baseball analyst with Sirius XM radio.
Kay Adams, a sports host on Sirius XM radio, tweeted: "Amazing story ... wishing @Jim_Duquette a speedy recovery. Just an incredible thing to do."
