Question and Answer - Q675
Can a person be arrested for just swearing in the street?
You could be arrested for swearing in the street. There are various offences which can be committed involving the use of threatening abusive words or behaviour. The effect on others and the intention of the person swearing would be some of the factors to consider when deciding whether or not an offence had been committed.
There is also an offence of using obscene and profane language in the street to the annoyance of residents. However, a person is only likely to be arrested for this offence if the behaviour occurs in the presence of a police officer.

Topic: Interpreting HTML content Posted: 21 Apr 2010 at 7:21am |
How to intepret HTML content in xsl-fo designer?
I have a field which contains HTML tags inside the value and that HTML tags needs to be interepreted on xsl-fo side so it shows the formatted text as inputted by User.
There is a rich text control on .NET side which allows user to format the text and the is stored in database with HTML tags. The same needs to be interpreted on xsl-fo while rendering the output.
How can we do this? Like this control does. It takes the query in formatted text. Now if I want to show this formatted text on report developed in xsl-fo how do I do that?
Thanks in advance.

To interpret HTML tags you need to define a custom xslt code. This can be done by using "Global XSLT Code" dialog. More information about using this dialog is available here http://www.ecrion.com/products/xfdesigner/XFDesignerHelp/hidd_edit_raw_xslt.htm.
For example for "b" html tag you have the following xslt code:
Should look something like this:

Hi Johan,
You need to define in Global XSLT a template match
for each html tag occurred in your xml. For example you will need to define an interpretation for div tag, font tag etc.:

Hi there,
I must be missing something here. I have added the XSLT to "Review -> Global XSL. I also added apply-templates="true" to the xfd:field containing the html. When I generate the pdf or print layout the html tags are still there. What am I missing here? regards, Johan |

In 2012 we added simplified functionality for accomplishing these goals of HTML tag inclusion. As this thread suggests, previously this was accomplished only by using Global XSLT. Based on a recurring need from our customers, we added a simple feature.
Now you only need to drag your element containing the HTML into the Design Surface. When you release the mouse button, you will need to select "HTML Field" from the contextual menu that will appear. For more about this useful feature, you can access the XF Designer product manual using this link:

The HTML Filed option you described here does not work when you have HTML content inside the "Value" field of the XML. It will work when your XML itself is generated from HTML, but if you have HTML formatting in the "value" field, how can I retain the formatting in the output? Here is an example of my XML: (I deleted lot of text for ease of reading) <Description typeid="2" value="
Trigonometry (fromprecalculus course.
" /> As you can see, my Description node has two attributes - type and Value. The "Value" attribute has HTML text. When I print it on report, how can I retain the formatting? |

Hello Harry,
Thanks for reaching out to us. Can you send your input XML to email@example.com for a closer look to see if we can find an alternative? This feature is structured to read HTML represented as nodes but not contained within one attribute's value. As an example:
 Trigonometry
  HTML tags are not accepted inside attribute values. You need to insert the HTML structure at the XML node level:
Some text
 [……..]  The transformations for HTML fields are executed internally with the help of an XSL template. The <xsl:template> elements used for HTML specific formatting cannot match XML nodes from within an XML attribute. Edited by justinw - 14 Jun 2013 at 12:13pm |

Parliamentary question by Maurizio Turco (TDI) and Marco Cappato (TDI) to the Commission and answer given by Mr Vitorino on behalf of the Commission
Parliamentary questions
by Maurizio Turco (TDI) and Marco Cappato (TDI) to the Commission
(4 January 2000)
Subject: Five-year EU action plan to combat drugs: information and evaluation
The European Union allocates a considerable amount of funding to the fight against drugs, as is indicated in the Communication from the Commission on a European Union action plan to combat drugs, which gives the figures for 1998. Multiple budget lines are involved, covering more than a single pillar, ranging from prevention to the funding of the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction, and from the Phare and Tacis programmes to North-South cooperation and cooperation with the countries of Latin America.
While the Commission Communication referred to above sketches an overall picture of EU activity in the fight against drugs, it does not provide more specific information about the individual projects which have been or are to be funded. Moreover, by contrast with the wishes expressed by the European Parliament and with the undertakings given by the Commission itself in the 1995-1999 five-year plan, there is no full and exhaustive evaluation of the preceding five-year action plan.
Will the Commission therefore provide the European Parliament with a brief but detailed picture giving the following information in respect of each budget line involved in the fight against drugs, for previous years and for the current financial year:- the projects which have been funded and the amount of funding received, - the recipients and managers of the funds allocated, - the objectives that it was intended to achieve, - the means deployed to achieve the objectives, - the results actually obtained, - the checks and evaluations of individual projects or programmes carried out by the European Union. Will the Commission also state when it will issue an overall analysis evaluating the projects undertaken as part of the 1995-1999 five-year action plan.
Answer given by Mr Vitorino
on behalf of the Commission
(16 February 2000)
The Commission agrees that evaluation should play an important role in all activities in the field of drugs. In its communication on a European Union action plan to combat drugs (2000-2004)(1) the Commission proposed that external experts should evaluate Community activities during this period and that the Commission should conduct a mid-term review of the action plan which would be presented to the Council and the Parliament.
However, the action plan acknowledged that efforts at the Community level in the period 1995-1999 in the field of evaluation had been insufficient. The Commission is not therefore able to respond fully to the question. Nevertheless, the main programmes to combat drugs have either already been evaluated or are in the process of being evaluated. The Commission sent to the Parliament on 14 October 1999, an interim report on the implementation of the programmes of Community action on the prevention of cancer, AIDS and certain other communicable diseases, and drug dependence within the framework for action in the field of public health (1996-2000)(2) and the final report is now available. The Commission has launched an evaluation to be completed by April 2000 of the OISIN and Falcone programmes, which cover Justice and Home Affairs. The Commission has launched an evaluation of the Community's North/South Cooperation in the fight against drugs and drug addiction since 1991, which should be completed by October 2000.
In addition, the Commission has sent the Parliament the agenda and the working documents for the meetings of the committee of the programme of Community action on the prevention of drug dependence (1996-2000); annual reports on the activities of the OISIN and Falcone programmes, including a description of the projects financed each year, and annual reports in 1996, 1997 and 1998 on the implementation of Council Regulation 2046/97 of 13 October 1997 on North-South cooperation in the campaign against drugs and drug addiction.
More detailed information on these programmes and others that concern drugs are transmitted direct to the Secretariat of the Parliament and to the Honourable Members.

* Japanese shares rally after BoJ move, yen weakens
* Crude oil rallies on Libyan supply disruptions
* Jump in Tesla shares propels tech-heavy Nasdaq
* Dollar falls against euro on weak U.S. data
NEW YORK, Feb 18 (Reuters) - Stock markets around the world edged higher on Tuesday following a fresh round of stimulus from the Bank of Japan, though gains were limited by some tepid data following a recent rally, which also pushed the dollar down against the euro.
The Bank of Japan maintained its expansionary monetary policy, extending special loan programs to help buoy economic growth. Japanese shares jumped 3.1 percent, but other markets in Asia were flat after China's central bank acted to rein in lending and Australia's central bank made hawkish comments about interest rates.
"The move by the Bank of Japan is important as it shows how central banks around the world want to make sure economies don't slip back into recession," said Wayne Kaufman, chief market analyst at Rockwell Securities in New York. "That will be an overriding factor in any trading."
The MSCI World index was up 0.3 percent. On Wall Street, U.S. stocks broadly rose as merger activity boosted confidence.
Economic data pointed to continued struggles around the globe, with German investor sentiment weaker and factory activity in New York state slowing in February.
Also in the United States, the National Association of Home Builders reported its index on homebuilder confidence fell in February to 46, indicating that a majority of builders see market conditions as poor. The data followed similarly weak reads last week on retail sales and the labor market.
Investors have been looking to economic data to justify the recent advance in equities, which has taken the S&P 500 back near record levels even as the U.S. Federal Reserve has twice trimmed its stimulus program. The Fed's publication on Wednesday of the minutes of its latest meeting will be scoured by market participants for confirmation that the slowing will continue at a steady pace.
"We're getting overbought in the short-term, so it wouldn't be surprising to see a pause in stocks, especially since some of the data has been lukewarm," Kaufman said.
The Dow Jones industrial average was down 24.21 points, or 0.15 percent, at 16,130.18. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index was up 2.09 points, or 0.11 percent, at 1,840.72. The Nasdaq Composite Index was up 28.76 points, or 0.68 percent, at 4,272.78.
The Nasdaq rose for an eighth straight day, its longest streak since July. The tech-heavy index was boosted by a jump in the shares of Tesla Motors Inc, which rose following a report that Apple Inc's mergers and acquisitions chief, Adrian Perica, met Tesla's chief executive, Elon Musk, last year, sparking speculation that Apple could be interested in buying the electric car maker.
Tesla rose 2.8 percent to $203.70 after hitting an all-time high of $205.72. Apple rose 0.4 percent to $545.99.
Forest Laboratories was the best performer on the S&P 500 after Actavis said it would acquire the specialty pharmaceuticals company in a cash and stock deal valued at about $25 billion. Forest Lab shares jumped 27.5 percent to $91.04 while Actavis shares rose 5.0 percent to $201.47.
The benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note was up 9/32, with the yield at 2.7123 percent.
In Europe, the pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 index closed with very slight gains. German Bund futures rose 0.2 percent, while Greek bond yields hovered around their lowest level since the country's debt restructuring as international lenders said they would return to Athens this week to assess the delivery of economic reforms.
The big loser from the BoJ action and subsequent bank-led Nikkei rally was the yen, which lost ground against all its major currency peers, with the dollar gaining 0.4 percent.
The Japanese action helped "reverse the recent dollar/yen bear trend," said Tom Levinson, currency strategist at ING, adding that he thought 102.85/95 yen resistance would hold for now.
The dollar fell against the euro to its lowest in seven weeks after the weak manufacturing data for New York state stoked uncertainty about the direction of the Federal Reserve's monetary policy.
The euro rose to $1.3769, surpassing a key resistance of $1.3740
The U.S. dollar index, which measures the greenback against a basket of six currencies, fell 0.2 percent, while the euro rose 0.8 percent against the yen to post a new February high.
After initially weathering a bout of profit-taking, gold slid from a near 3-1/2-month peak, shedding 0.5 percent.
U.S. crude futures jumped 2.4 percent, boosted by robust demand for heating fuel, as well as a weaker dollar and supply disruptions in Libya. Brent crude rose 1.2 percent, topping $110 a barrel.

| PDF 84Kb |
The paper presents a novel approach to reduce the bit error rate (BER) in iterative belief propagation (BP) decoding of low density parity check (LDPC) codes. The behavior of the BP algorithm is first investigated as a function of number of decoder iterations, and it is shown that typical uncorrected error patterns can be classified into 3 categories: oscillating, nearly-constant, or random-like, with a predominance of oscillating patterns at high Signal-to-Noise (SNR) values. A proposed decoder modification is then introduced based on tracking the number of failed parity check equations in the intermediate decoding iterations, rather than relying on the final decoder output (after reaching the maximum number of iterations). Simulation results with a rate ½ (1024,512) progressive edge-growth (PEG) LDPC code show that the proposed modification can decrease the BER by as much as 10-to-40%, particularly for high SNR values.

Who's Hot, Who's Not - Hitting June 8
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network)
- Usually with the hot weather comes hot bats and home runs flying out of ballparks. While that may be true for some, there are a few big names who haven't gotten the message.
Who's Hot
David Ortiz, Boston
- We're witnessing the rebirth of the "fearsome" Ortiz who along with Manny Ramirez led a hugely productive Red Sox offense from 2003-2007. Since May 1st he's boosted his batting average by more than 60 points. He's also displayed his old power, slugging 12 homers and knocking in 21 runs in the five-week period. Ortiz may be benefiting the most from the Adrian Gonzalez signing. "Big Papi" is posting numbers well beyond expectations for a 12th-round draft choice (ADP 140).
Brian McCann, Atlanta
- McCann has hit for a solid .300 average for most of the season, but early on it was without much power. His April OPS was just 0.739 with three extra base hits. He's added the power to his repertoire over the past few weeks, raising his OPS to a respectable 0.843. There should be no question that he will give you "fair market value" for your fifth-round pick (ADP 55).
Michael Morse, Washington
- I listed Morse last week and he has continued to hit the ball. The only difference is that his ownership level has jumped from 36% to 59%. If you need an outfielder with power, you will need to pull the trigger quickly or lose out on your opportunity to get him. While his season- long OPS hovers around 0.869, over the past two weeks he's been hitting at a 1.154 pace.
Who's Not
Jose Bautista, Toronto
- Despite leading the league in runs, home runs, walks, batting average, slugging percentage and OPS, Bautista has actually been struggling of late. He's hit just one home run since May 24th and is no longer on a 60-HR pace...but "only" around 53. Keep a wary eye to see if this downward trend continues or he returns to his torrid pace of earlier in the season. It could be that pitchers have finally stopped throwing him good pitches to hit and have made the decision to force someone else on the team to beat them. That would be bad for Bautista's fantasy value, but good for Adam Lind and J.P. Arencibia who hit behind him in the Blue Jays lineup.
B.J. Upton, Tampa Bay
- Upton is the kind of player who wins championships when he explodes and gets general managers fired when he doesn't. So much talent and frustratingly little production. He can hit for power and steal bases - he just doesn't do either often enough. His .228 batting average is killing you in that category as is his 0.716 OPS. If you selected him, you got the wrong brother. Over the past two weeks, he's been particularly bad with an OPS of 0.439. If he every stops stealing bases, he'll be waiver material.
Casey McGehee, Milwaukee
- McGehee was a pleasant surprise in 2010, batting .285 with 23 HRs and 104 RBIs. At a weak position like third base, that made him a valuable commodity at this year's draft and he went in the ninth round. He's struggling to give you your "money's worth" batting just .230 with four homers and 24 RBIs. Over the past two weeks, he's hit just .088 (3-for-34) with an equally minuscule OPS of 0.196. He should be sitting on your bench until he remembers how to hit the ball, but don't cut him loose.

Cheap ski holidays in hundreds of ski resorts worldwide.
Ski season may have just finished but plenty of people are already looking ahead and booking their spot in the mountains for next winter. The UK ski travel industry is reporting increases in early bookings for ski holidays for winter 2014/15. With plenty of early booking offers available for all group sizes, it's never too early to start dreaming of next winter's ski trip. Here are our top 5 reasons why you should start thinking about securing your ski holiday sooner rather than later.
With recent legislation prohibiting parents from taking children out of school in term time, there is even more demand for holidays during peak dates. The festive period is popular for groups and families alike as the mountains create the perfect backdrop for the best Christmas and New Year getaway – is there anything better than waking up to fresh snow on Christmas Day? View top Christmas Deals and New Year Offers Most schools in England and Wales begin half term on February 14th, which also conflicts with school holidays in Paris, 'Zone A' regions of France, and Belgium. Any families that take their ski holiday in half term knows how busy this week can be at airports and in the larger resorts so it is even more important to book early to get the best choice of flights and accommodations to make your week as squabble-free as possible. With hiking flight prices around these dates, the best offers are through package deals. Early bird Half Term Deals Next year Easter falls on a more suitable date to take advantage of the last of the ski season, on April 5th. After the incredible snowfall at the end of this winter we are expecting Easter to be a very popular date for keen skiers and snowboarders that want an end of season fix. Fantastic Easter Savings
As well as securing the best accommodation in your favourite resort, if you book now you can pay a low deposit from just £99 pp and pay off the rest over the summer.
Put your deposit down and look forward to your next adventure in the mountains. We all love a countdown, so you can start getting excited and begin counting down the weeks till ski season (we've started ours already!) If you love planning, you can now start to think about other ways to make the most of your ski holiday and start thinking about the best ski areas, top restaurants and the greatest après to make your week away the best ski trip ever.
You may be surprised that some super early booking discounts have already finished. But there are still plenty of early bird deals available on a range of ski holidays from free group places to buy one get one free lift passes to hire equipment offers and savings of up to £180 pp. We offer fantastic deals to over 100 ski resorts in 20 countries in chalets, hotels and apartments, so whatever your group size we can find a top deal to your favourite ski resort. Take advantage of these great offers, combined with low deposits and getting the best choice of accommodation for your next winter adventure.
Booking early means getting the best choice of accommodation in the finest locations in resort. This is extremely important for families who are looking for their own chalet for the week, or a group of friends desiring a hot tub, or if you are like me and have to have a ski in – ski out accommodation so you can make the most of your time on the mountain.If you are thinking about next season's ski holiday, take a look at last season's most popular resorts.

"I was so impressed with the way Laura handled my initial call that as soon as I got home I decided to forget all of the other agents and companies and call her straight back and book the holiday. Thank you again Iglu for being so user friendly and more importantly thank you to Laura for being such an asset to your company and the sales profession."

U.S. men Germany finds net three times in seven minute span in second half to roll to 4-2 triumph; Mathis nets pair for Americans.ROSTOCK, Germany (March 27, 2002) -- The United States men received a vivid reminder that despite the giddiness of a 6-1-1 start to 2002, they are not yet in a class with the traditional world powers. Despite conceding the first goal, Germany rolled over the U.S. 4-2 before a sellout of 29,000 at Osteestadion tonight, using goals by Oliver Neuville, Oliver Bierhoff, and Torsten Frings in a seven-minute span midway through the second half to break open a match that was not as tight as the scoreboard indicated. Both U.S. goals were scored by striker Clint Mathis. "I'd give up scoring two goals any time to get a win," Mathis said. Germany was highly motivated to erase the memory of 2-0 and 3-0 losses to the Americans in 1999, the last meetings between the nations and the only U.S. victories in the series that now stands 4-2 in the Germans' favor. "I thought the key to the game was their physical strength," said U.S. coach Bruce Arena. "We could have defended better and, at times, shown more commitment. They won a lot of the battles and, in the end, they were the better team." The U.S. looked to take a 1-0 advantage into intermission, but midfielder Christian Ziege, the captain, gave his side a big lift by curling a left-footed free kick from 30 yards that dipped just inside the right post past diving goalkeeper Kasey Keller to tie matters at 1-1 in the 44th minute. "I've seen Ziege do this in training all the time," said Keller about his club teammate at Tottenham Hotspur in England. "You can't cheat against him. If you move a second early, he nails you to the other post. You basically have to give him the upper corner. And if he hits it, you shake his hand." It was the second time Ziege had beaten Keller in the first half, but, early on, defender Jeff Agoos saved a goal by clearing the ball off the goal line. Keller then had to charge off his line twice for diving saves to deny Bierhoff and Schneider. "We did have a chance to score a second goal and go up 2-nil, and, of course, they had their chances," U.S. midfielder Earnie Stewart said. "It is just a shame that we couldn't keep the 1-nil lead until halftime." Germany picked up where it left off in the second half, attacking in waves. The barrage started in the 61st minute off a corner from Bernd Schneider with forward Oliver Neuville poking the ball into the U.S. goal after a scramble in the penalty area to give Germany a 2-1 lead. Schneider had a hand in Germany's third and fourth goals as well. In the 65th minute, he sent a cross from the right side that expertly found veteran striker Oliver Bierhoff, who rifled a shot home from 10 yards out. Another giveaway from the U.S. defense let Schneider carry the ball down the right flank. Schneider then passed to Bierhoff, who then found midfielder Torsten Frings for an easy eight-yard shot past a helpless Keller to make it 4-1. "Obviously they are a very big and strong team. And when you are a little bit smaller (like the U.S.), you have to want it that much more, and we got pushed around a bit today," Keller said. "I was disappointed. I thought we had a pretty fresh start, but they didn't panic and stuck to their game plan. We were disappointed in the way we came out the second half. We had a bad 15 minutes. But in all fairness, we changed it around a bit and had chances to get back into the game. They beat us on the day, and we have to hold our hands up and learn from it." Mathis cut the U.S. deficit to 4-2 in the 71st minute on a counterattack from the German midfield. Forward Joe-Max Moore, who replaced Jovan Kirovski in the 59th minute, waited for Mathis to make his run and sent a pass with the outside of his right foot to catch the attacker in stride just outside the right post. Mathis fired a low shot to the far corner to beat reserve keeper Hans Jorg Butt. Despite Germany controlling play, Mathis put the U.S. ahead 1-0 in the 17th minute, taking a pass from Kirovski on another counterattack and beating goalkeeper Frank Rost, only to hit the far post. The ball, however, fell in the six-yard box for Mathis to put away his own rebound into an empty net. "Apart from the first 20 minutes of the second half, I thought we did well against a tough German team," Stewart said. "They have so many big boys in there that sometimes, especially with corner kicks, they start to push and shove, and they get that physical advantage." "We gave up a few too many free kicks and corners. It was a little unnecessary, which makes things more difficult. Overall, except for that 20-minute stretch, I thought the boys held up pretty good. It was a pretty open game, which you don't normally have against Germany. We were lucky to score first against the run of play, and then all of a sudden things started to happen for us. Mathis also netted a pair in a 4-0 shutout of Honduras in Seattle March 2, making him the first American to record two multiple-goal games in a calendar year since Moore did it in 1993. Germany, which was missing about seven of its likely World Cup starters because of injuries and other reasons, was also without key midfielder Michael Ballack, its top scorer in World Cup qualifying, who went down with a hamstring injury over the weekend with Bayern Leverkusen in Bundesliga action. "I'm happy with the attitude of our players," German coach Rudi Völler said. "They gave everything from the first to the last minute, even though our lineup was a bit makeshift. The Americans smartly knew how to take apart our three-man defensive line. We had some problems keeping our lines together." The United States played without its captain, midfielder Claudio Reyna, who returned to English Permier League play for Sunderland this weekend after three weeks recovering from hamstring and ankle ailments. Striker Brian McBride and midfielder John O'Brien were on the bench because of injuries picked up in preparations for this match.

NASA probes to study weather in outer space
Venus, seen as a small black dot, passes across the sun in this 2012 view from a weather observatory in Manila, Philippines.
Jeff Horwich: This morning NASA delayed the launch of two new weather satellites. But it's not about the weather down here -- they'll track the weather in outer space. Why is that worth a price tag of $700 million? Here's Sally Herships.
Sally Herships: How high up do you need to travel before you start worrying about weather conditions in outer space?
Ray Williamson: Oh right here on earth -- because we are affected by it.
Ray Williamson works with the Secure World Foundation, a space research organization. He says bad weather events in outer space, can disrupt everything from air travel, to the GPS on your phone.
Williamson: They've very hard to predict and we don't have much lead time if we do see one coming.
Which can be a very expensive problem. When bad space weather interferes with satellites planes can be grounded. That can cost a hundred thousand dollars a flight. And if the satellite is damaged, it can take tens of millions of dollars to repair.
Carol Paty teaches space physics at Georgia Tech. She says even though NASA's mission is pricey, it's well worth it.
Carol Paty: The money is being spent in the U.S., so it's not money that's just being lost or literally thrown out into space.
In New York, on the ground, I'm Sally Herships for Marketplace.

One of the oldest and most-storied rivalries in college sports writes another chapter when Amherst and Williams face off in the first round of Schooled: NESN's College Face Off.
More than just a little familiar with each other, these two schools routinely butt heads in the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) and their rivalry in football — known as the Biggest Little Game in America — dates back to 1884. Williams leads that series 71-50-5, but can that success carry over to Schooled?
Amherst will be looking to erase that edge while also representing for their cross-town university which is not participating in this competition.
Be sure to tune in to NESN on Nov. 6 at 7 p.m. to catch all of the action between the bitter rivals.

"Jalapeno peppers and fresh mint add fun flavors to a fresh limeade."

4 limes, juiced
1 cup white sugar
2 sprigs fresh mint
1/2 gallon water
1 fresh jalapeno pepper, sliced
LOVE this! Made it for a work potluck and a family party (summertime, latin theme) and after they got over seeing the "green stuff" floating and tasted it, everyone wanted the recipe. Fresh and tangy!
Tasted kind of medicinal. No kick at the end, but I could definitely taste the jalapenos. Mainly, it wasa just sweet.
21 Ratings
Perfect!!! The jalapeno (1) was just enough for a little kick. Did not taste the mint leaves, will add more next time. Delicious!!
Delicious! It was sweet at first, but then had a kick at the end. We used two jalapeños, but it drowned out the mint flavor. Will use again!
LOVED this with a few big modifications: used only 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tbs powdered stevia (a naturally no-calorie herbal sweetener), and juiced 12 limes instead of 4. Our jalapeno was very potent, and we only left it in for about half an hour. It was perfectly sweet, tart, and spicy! Yum!
This was a fantastically refreshing adult limeade. I served it with my special egg salad on croissants for a light meal since the weather is so warm here. One could add their favorite vodka or tequila for a unique cocktail!
Made this for a Cinco de Mayo potluck at work today, fabulous! Everyone loved it! Very unique, crisp, and refreshing. I doubled the recipe and used one very large jalapeno (seeds removed).
Delicious! However, if I were to make it again, I would only use 1/2 a jalapeno, since I don't handle spice very well, but it was still delicious.

oh yeah, my husband spoiled me with new shades...I'm in love :) |

Sliding, Canadian Style
I love going to visit my Grandma in Fort St John, 45 minutes away. Lately though, I have let life get in the way of me making time for a visit. Today, I made time, and I'm SO glad I did. My Grandma is one of my closest friends, and visiting with her always refreshes my soul and puts a smile on my face :)
I didn't want to take the older two girls out of school to go, so I sent them to school and started getting the younger two in the van. My Grandpa called just before I left to remind me to bring their snow gear so we could check out the ice slides! I had heard lots about them before, but have never been, so I was excited to bring Myka and Danica.
After a cup or two of much needed coffee with my Grandma, the five of us set out for the slides. After seeing it, I kind of wish we had gone last weekend, when all the ice sculptures were there. The slides themselves are pretty impressive...I can't imagine what the sculptures must have been like!
The slides are built into the side of a huge snow pile. When I first heard about the slides, I imagined that they were carved out of the hill and then flooded with water to make them icier. They were so much cooler than I imagined though. My Grandma said that they make them out of blocks of ice set into the hill. The result is a slide that looks just like a playground slide, complete with edges so the kids stay on track. There are three of them side by side. I can only imagine how much fun the older girls would have racing each other to the bottom!
The girls loved them as much as I thought they would. Grandpa took them to the top of the hill so Grandma and I could stand at the bottom and watch them come down. It was so cute watching Danica get off the slide so quickly at the bottom just so she could get back to the top as fast as she could! They slid until their snow pants were soaked with melted snow and the wind had chilled their faces. If it wasn't for the cold wind, we probably could have stayed out their all afternoon; it was a beautiful day out!
I'm still smiling this evening thinking about how much fun we had with Great Grandma and Grandpa. I'm so glad that my girls get to spend time with my Grandma and have the same fun experiences with her that I remember as a little girl! Also, I can't wait to go back and bring the rest of the family!

Oh I am in tears looking at these photos of my old stomping grounds and seeing my beautiful family :) Grandma and Grandpa you both look great! I miss you all so much :( xxoxxo
ReplyDeleteRepliesI didn't mean to make you cry sis! I miss you so much too! I can't believe how much fun Grandpa had with the girls...Grandma said he's been missing spending time with Alexa lately and was pretty excited when he heard I was bringing my girls there today. One day soon we'll get to hang out!!

Little Lowell and I are sick of this cold weather. Now I know that our winters here are not much to complain about, but even the most mildest winters are tough when your child hates wearing clothes and wants to be outside all of the time! Since I can't do anything about the weather I thought I would reminisce about our trip to San Diego that we took last summer. I can't believe how much my little guy has grown. This trip was Little Lowell's first visit to California and where he also decided to take his first steps.
(Seaport Village)
(Coronado Beach)(Watching the waves)
(Playing in the Sand)
(Surf Lessons)
(Big Smile)
(Flying a kite with Dad. Moments after taking this picture we were informed by the life guard that flying a kite on that beach was a national security risk because military planes fly very close by!)
(Watching the dolphins with Mom)
(Meeting Elmo. After going through all of the pictures I was a little annoyed that the only family picture we remembered to take the entire trip was with Elmo.)
(Shamu Show)
(Watching the Boats)
(FIRST STEPS!!! I was so happy I had my camera out for this)
(Loves the Carousel)
(Having Fun)
We had such and amazing trip and can't wait to go back. Our next trip to California will probably be to Disney Land. Some of our friends have recommended waiting until Little Lowell is about 2 1/2 so that he can really enjoy the experience and stand through waiting in all of the lines.

Mazzucelli, Colette. (2008) Leadership in the European Union: Assessing the Significance of the Trio Council Presidency. Jean Monnet/Robert Schuman Paper Series Vol. 8, No. 17, August 2008. [Working Paper]
| PDF Download (267Kb) | Preview |
[From the Introduction]. This analysis highlights potential challenges to rotation among successive Trio Presidencies by the new European Council President in the provision of leadership that accommodates divergent interests in a Union of 27+ members. The relationship between the Trio Presidency and the proposed European Council President is one that must be defined carefully in practice. This is necessary to ensure that the balance of power does not tip to advantage the latter personality at the expense of the former. Another feature of an increasingly complex institutional system that raises questions in terms of leadership capacity is the position defined in the Lisbon Treaty as the High Representative for Security Policy and Defense. Given all the responsibilities the person in this post inherits, it is necessary to ask if leadership on behalf of the Union is realistically possible to achieve. A corollary observation is that omni directional (tous azimuts) bilateral arrangements, often referenced in the literature as 'multiple bilateralism,' occur with greater frequency in a larger Union. This analysis draws the implications of these experiences for leadership in Europe's transnational polity.

Because he has a lot of control over the demands that are placed upon him and "an understanding employer" that gives him the time he needs do his job well. Not everyone is so lucky.
Most people in today's economy are happy just to have a jobany job. But work-related factors like long hours, a poor relationship with your boss, and lack of control over daily tasksfactors that can get worse when the boss is pinching penniescan contribute to depression as well.
Clearly having a job is better than not having one when you really need it. Those who are unemployed tend to have higher rates of depression (almost 13%) than those who are employed full time (7%).
How Self-Stigma Hurts People With Depression
Experts say self-stigma can impede a depressed or mentally ill persons ability to recover. Read more
High-risk occupations?
"A job can be a source of meaning and social support, which can provide a buffer against depression for some people," says Eugene Baker, PhD, vice president of employee assistance programs for OptumHealth Behavioral Solutions. "It's a place to go every day and have people to interact with. But if you are unhappy with your job, and it is chronic unhappiness, and you feel powerless to change your situation, these feelings of helplessness can foster depression."
Factors contributing to depression range from genetics, gender, temperament, and lack of social support. And each year, more than 18 million American adults will experience some form of depression.
Certain occupations seem to have a higher risk of depression than others. The highest rates of worker depression (up to 11%) are seen in people with jobs in nursing home/child care, food service, social work, and health care, among others.

Washing dishes in the dishwasher helps fight germs...
An automatic dishwasher helps fight the spread of germs in the kitchen. It is done with the use of heat, mechanical wash action, and detergent. Some newer models may have a certified "sanitize" option, which assures that 99.99% of bacteria typically found on dishes, glasses, and utensils will be removed during the cycle.
Make sure the water in your dishwasher is hotter than 140 degress F or bacteria can survive. If the water temperature is lower than that, bacteria can spread to other items in the dishwasher. Also, avoid spreading germs back onto clean and sanitized items by remembering to wash your hands prior to unloading the dishwasher.
