Utility Indifference Pricing: A Time Consistent Approach
This paper considers the optimal portfolio selection problem in a dynamic multi-period stochastic framework with regime switching. The risk preferences are of exponential (CARA) type with an absolute coefficient of risk aversion which changes with the regime. The market model is incomplete and there are two risky assets: one tradable and one non-tradable. In this context, the optimal investment strategies are time inconsistent. Consequently, the subgame perfect equilibrium strategies are considered. The utility indifference prices of a contingent claim written on the risky assets are computed via an indifference valuation algorithm. By running numerical experiments, we examine how these prices vary in response to changes in model parameters.

As the need arose for me to replace my previous work laptop, I was very keen to go to the opposite end of the scale. From a 17″ semi-powerhouse laptop to a smaller 10″ Netbook.
It was a mission to carry it around everywhere, battery life sucked, and it was just not functional for anything but sitting on a desk.
So I wanted something portable, to take with me on-site as I visit client sites for VoIP / IT support etc. I wanted something with good battery life (3-4 hours would be good I thought, which is over double what my previous was good for), I wanted it to be lightweight, semi-durable as I chuck it in my bag with other computer gear like routers and cables, and I didn't want to have to sit around waiting for an OS like when installing on the EeePC 900 Flash Drive. A decent GPU would be nice, like an ION-based system, so I could do 1080p movies in my spare time, but that's a lower-priority. 2GB RAM is a must, if it's going to run Win7.
I would have liked an ARM machine running Linux, just for the geek factor, but couldn't find anything, so I was pretty much stuck with an Atom CPU, 1.6Ghz. They're not bad CPU's, we use the dual-core ones in the PBX systems we build at work. Not uber-powerful single-core, but still powerful enough for browsing, word processing, IM'ing and ssh'ing into systems.
It came down to a 10″ Asus EeePC, the Acer Aspire One, or the Toshiba NB200.
I'd had a good run with my EeePC's (700 & 900-series w/Celerons), but they felt a little "flimsy", like the plastic was cheap & thin. I know I'm nitpicking here but the fact they didn't even remove the modem socket left me with the feeling that it was rushed out the factory door without enough time put into foresight of the product. The under-clocked CPU bugged me, even though after a while there were utilities you could use to fix that.
The Acer Aspire One running Android would have been a cool novelty, I liked that idea, but to be honest I simply didn't have enough of a chance to look into it because the retailer was out of stock. In fact PBTech recently had a boxing day sale, $399 for the Aspire One.
This left me looking at the NB200. Now don't get me wrong I didn't simply pick it because I didn't like the other two, but for a few other reasons:
The "finish" on the laptop feels nice, I dunno how to describe how it feels different from the others but it does and it's comfortable to use.
The battery life (6-Cell battery) is rated at 9 hours. On the WiFi I get around 7-8 hours quite easily, and it's marvelous! Not having to plug it in constantly is so, so nice!! Not to mention that replacement batteries are readily available and cost only around $70-90 from PBTech, so when I've abused the heck outta this one, I'll have another one ready to go.
Now this is a small bonus, but the placement of the USB ports is good, they're well spaced apart so some of the slightly larger thumbdrives don't collide.
The HDD utility is also cool (Though the popup gets annoying as hell), having it park the HDD head when it detects vibration or movement. I dunno how well it works, but it sounds like a good feature, especially on a Netbook which you're likely to have on-the-go!
The battery also sticks out a little at the back, which I've decided is actually a benefit. It's nice to hold on to while carrying it, and it also prevents it from falling back on your lap while you wriggle about getting comfortable.
I read a review on it prior to buying it, which did a crappy as job of identifying pro's and cons. It said that the "WiFi On" LED down the front was a bad thing and a major annoyance. Not really.. Here's what I've found annoying, or less-than-good with it.
Win7 Starter, I got rid of it immediately. Didn't even waste my time with booting it more than once, though I did boot it just to see what A/V (Nortons) was installed. It's running Win7 Enterprise for now.
The Touchpad, I found myself tapping with my palms when I didn't want, I never had that issue with my EeePC's, though maybe that's because this one is much larger (Which is cool), but anyway I installed the Alps touchpad driver and set it to disable when I plug in a USB mouse. I've got a Logitech which is awesome, cheap, and I can leave the receiver in at all times.
There's no "sleeve" or anything that comes with it instead of a bag, like the EeePC had. Not a biggy, but I must admit to being disappointed.
The back of the screen holds fingerprints incredibly well, better than it should, and it's always looking grubby which is unfortunate.
I replaced the 1GB RAM stick with a 2GB one. I guess because it's Win7 Starter it doesn't need more than 1GB, but I'm being picky here.
The mono speaker is poorly placed underneath and is terribly quiet. I have headphones though and won't use it as a "jukebox" without other speakers, so it's a moot point. It's not a media-box.
I haven't installed Linux on it, but I will be, and I'll update this when I do.
Overall there are some minor annoyances, but I'd still rate it around 8.5/10. I'm very happy with it, and the minor annoyances are pretty easily remedied.
If you have one, or any other Netbook, I'm keen to know your thoughts on yours

As a civil engineer and freight rail lead for Stantec, Gene goes wherever the rails take him. And they've taken him all over the United States, from the east coast where he has worked on track, structure, and construction projects as part of the Norfolk Southern Engineering Department, to the west coast where he is currently leading bridge inspection services for Coos Bay Rail. When you talk to Gene, it becomes quickly evident that he's a "rail dude" with a passion for railroads. He understands how they operate and what it takes to keep their facilities and track systems online and maintained. He also knows that rail safety is a top priority for clients—and for Stantec teams as well.
Safely is the ONLY way. On a railroad, you have to live it, breathe it, and believe it.

The Gallery – Portraits
By Emma B | April 27, 2010
This weeks theme for The Gallery over at Sticky Fingers is portraits.
Sounds simple but was actually hard to choose so there are 2 pictures on my Gallery entry this week.
This is of me & C when she was about 10 weeks old. We were out for a walk with the dog around our local park and it was a really lovely day so we laid on the grass and watched the world go by for an hour.
And another of C with my other baby, BJ. When C was born, BJ ignored her most of the time but they're great friends now. If C is upset he will go and lay next to her, and he can't walk past her without giving her a kiss!
12 Comments
How sweet, great photo's
I like both of these. The first reminds me how quickly the little girl has grown. The second is just fab, how sweet that they on so well. The little girl loves our dogs but the younger one is not sure of her and always moves away from her.
I spent ages going through all the photos from when C was born. I got quite emotional actually! Can't believe she's nearly a year old!
That is one BIIIG dog!
He's a big softy though!
How cute are you too! Lovely pup too. Cx
Thank you!

EEEP! BJ is HUGE!! Fab photos
the beauty and the beast !!!
LOL at the baby-on-dog photo 😀

Stayed here? Add a Review
The house itself is in a perfect location for swimming.. Only a 3 minute walk and you're there!! Very well equipped (kitchen, bathroom etc.) with everything that you need! We stayed during some pretty hot days and the house was super easy to call down as it got a nice breeze through once the windows were opened. Overall I would highly suggest staying here and we will be back :)
We stayed at this house in July and the new owner (since April) weren't very knowledgeable about the facilities. The 2 small heaters provided were inadequate for a winter stay. They failed to heat the living areas and 2 heaters could not warm 3 bedrooms at night. The promised extra heater and electric blankets didn't arrive until the last night of our stay. Other facilities were good, but we didn't get the cosy winter break we were looking for.

Roosevelt Auto Body Collision 1 University
Review for Roosevelt Auto Body Collision 1 University
Irwin K. on 04/23/2012
Irvin said there was no need for this business to keep him informed of the repairs. He dropped off his vehicle on a Monday, they told him it would be ready on Thursday, and they called early Thursday afternoon to tell him his vehicle was ready. He had been to other repair businesses for estimates prior to coming to this business. He pointed out he must have looked tired from going to the other places because the woman at the front desk when he walked in told him he looked like he needed a cup of coffee. She made him coffee. Irvin was so impressed with the woman who made him coffee he decided to let this business repair his vehicle, even though they charged $20 more than the other places he had been to for estimates. He remarked this business was quick, and everything looks beautiful. Irvin has seen a lot of bad operations, but this business is a good operation. The office they do business in is very clean, and they did a very good job on his vehicle.

Obama On Iran: Moral Clarity Requires MoralsMonday, June 15th, 2009
Waiting for their dear leader to express his opinion, the "power to the people" crowd has kept silent. My take: the risk for making Obama look bad, or better yet being on the outs should an opinion differ from the Borg, has kept the Left mum about the Iranian uprising. [Or criticize anyone willing to note something IS happening in Iran.]
No one really knows why the Iranians are demonstrating yet. Is this just one faction of Mullah-endorsed candidate expressing discontent because another Mullah-endorsed candidate stole the election or is this public demonstration a desire for a more moderate Iran generally?
Time will tell. The fact is, it requires immense courage for the Iranian people to defy the police, the current leadership and Ahmadinijad's minions to step out publicly and make their voices heard. "Down with the dictator!" they shout. Does that mean the people want another dictator? Or do they want an end to the tyrannical Iranian leadership?
We'll see.
Either way, the instinct in this situation should be to support the people. The instinct should be to openly label tyranny in all it's forms as wrong. The instinct should be to marginalize those who would use brute force to enforce domination and diminish freedom.
The moral position is to support freedom and liberty.
While this is patently obvious to anyone with a moral compass, it's not obvious to President Obama or his followers. They're still waiting to find out what happens so they can make "open dialogue" seem like a reasonable decision. They want to find a way to exploit the Iranian discontent, and possible revolution.
Here's what a person with a moral compass says, "Americans support the Iranian people in their quest for free and fair elections that represents the will of the people. We respect their will and their voice and their courage in the face of the dangers they now face. Our hearts go out to the people of Iran."
That's it. It's the right thing to say and it doesn't presuppose an outcome. It still gives the American government an out to communicate with whatever regime ends up in charge, but it communicates to the people of Iran that America loves and supports them and is on their side.
Words matter. President Obama knows this. He uses words like others wield swords. Mostly, he uses them to benefit himself. It's time for him to use words to benefit the oppressed people of the world. Iran is a nice start.
But using words in this case, takes a little bit of moral fortitude. It also means taking a stand. President Obama has shown little inclination to embrace any moral stand. He has shown an inclination to make self-serving speeches.
In this case, supporting the Iranian people could also serve himself. Of course, that outcome isn't certain, so it does require a modicum of courage. Moral courage and moral clarity–two things he sorely lacks.
Note: To get the coverage you won't get on the MSM, follow the #Iran and #Iranelection hashtags on Twitter. And, if you don't know that those things are, learn at Mashable (via Michelle Malkin). More to come.
Also, tonight, I have foreign policy and military expert Steve Schippert of the National Review Online, The Tank, and Threatswatch.org and my co-blogger John Hawkins on Right Doctor my radio show tonight from 10 to 11:00 EST for RFCradio.com.

Moral Equivalence In ActionWednesday, January 14th, 2009
So my sister takes me to her place of employment. It's winter break, and unlike in the United States, Australians just take off for a couple weeks through the holidays. The few people at the office the fam and I get to meet. My sister reminds us to behave, to be gracious and introduce ourselves if, for some reason, she forgets an employee's name since she's still relatively new there, and to keep our hands to ourselves. She did not explicitly tell me to not talk politics. Her mistake.
Everything goes smoothly. Pleasantries exchanged hither and thither. We occupy ourselves without breaking anything while she chats with a colleague about some issue. And then we go to leave. On our way out, we bid adieu to the temporary receptionist.
"Oh, I remember you. You're the BBC sister," says she–barely concealed scorn in her voice. My sister told her colleagues that I'd be doing U.S. election coverage for the BBC. Unlike in the U.S. where no one watches the BBC so my little foray into punditry went unnoticed, in Australia, everyone watches the BBC. So while I've never met her co-workers, they've "met" me because the TVs were on all day at work and my mug was there, too, with my politics on full display.
That's me.
"Yes, we had our TVs on everywhere and saw you." She didn't say it like it was a good thing. Time to change the topic.
Why aren't you on vacation?
"I'm taking my five weeks [Australia's only rival for labor cushiness is France] altogether."
How nice. Where are you going?
"Iran and Syria."
My face couldn't hide my shock.
"Oh, it's safe," she assured me. "The travel company wouldn't take us if it wasn't safe. It's not like they'll take us to the border of Iraq or anything."
Now, if I had more restraint, I would have just let that little slice of silly go, but I didn't have much restraint and I didn't like her attitude to begin with. I could feel my sister's anxiety rise next to me. She psychically sent signals screaming, "DON'T SAY ANYTHING! DON'T SAY ANYTHING! LET IT GO!" I ignored them and smiled grandly at the receptionist.
I think you'd be safer in Iraq, actually.
The receptionist launched. "It's not like I'm stupid. I've been to Libya and it was wonderful. Syria and Iran are beautiful countries. It's perfectly safe."
My sister interceded,"I hope you have a wonderful time! We better get going we have a long day ahead of us."
Before this infernal woman ever talked about the loveliness of the Islamic dictatorships in question, I disliked her. I don't like that I sometimes dislike people without any evidence to dislike them–or no conscious evidence. Maybe it was her hauteur, her territorial set, her mouth turned in a curled snarl. I don't know. But I do know that there are some people that I inexplicably like immediately and some I don't and that it rarely feels rational and it rarely changes with more actual evidence.
I spent some time thinking about the exchange because it bothered me that I allowed this woman to affect my blood pressure. The foundation of my irritation was the woman's determined moral equivalence. She clearly thought I was a close-minded rube while she was an open-minded woman of the world. She had been to these places and the countries weren't evil. They were misunderstood. Not only that, but democracy is overrated. It's so annoying how Westerners, Americans especially, think their way is a better way. Who are they to decide what's better for other people?
And you know what I think? I think America and Western countries are objectively better, you moron. In Iran this week, guys were stoned to death for supposedly committing adultery. Iran is the country that hangs supposedly gay, underage men. Syria is the country clandestinely building nuclear bombs and then blaming Israel for "planting evidence." Iran and Syria support and arm Hamas and Hezbollah whose explicit goal is to destroy Israel.
If there is a way that these regimes is misunderstood, it's by the useful idiots who want to minimize the risk they present to the human ideals of liberty, self-determination and life. A Westerner may be safe in Cuba, Iran, Syria, Libya, China, Saudi Arabia or elsewhere in dictatorial states, but their own people aren't. That would be a major difference between a smug secretary enjoying her five week vacation in thug states. She can go home when she wants, how she wants, with whom she wants and believe how she wants. The citizens in the backward nations of Syria and Iran have no such luxury. That she can't see this demonstrates a callous disregard for her fellow man and contempt for her own freedom that has been bought and continues to be paid for with blood and treasure.
The moral equivalence crowd can move to and rot in these despotic regimes they so aggrandize. It would be better than destroying their own countries from within.

The Travolta TragedyTuesday, January 6th, 2009
I hate cults.
Let's just get that out of the way–whether it's the ideology that encourages psychos in a compound to impregnate minors or convinces otherwise seemingly rational people that aliens gave diseases to earth dwellers or assures people that Gore is going to save the world one glorious carbon swap at a time–I hate cults. There are many reasons to hate them and the leaders that get rich off the followers of the ideology. Mostly, I hate cults because people cede their power and potential to another person or group and often drag innocent people (children) along with them in their craziness.
Here's the thing, though. This is America. People are free to do what they damn well please as long as it's legal. And because the line between cults and corporations or churches or groups is so fine, I'd rather err on the side of the individual to choose his own crazy. State-mandated "sanity" is its own crazy cult and I want even less a part of that than some insane idea cooked up in a basement somewhere.
That preamble brings me to Scientology and the death of John Travolta and Kelly Preston's son, Jett Travolta. The death of Jett Travolta is a tragedy. It is a family tragedy. It is a personal tragedy. I might not agree with their family's "religion", but it is none of my business and it's no one else's either.
The fact that the Travolta's son might have had autism and that the Church of Scientology doesn't recognize the illness does not matter. Science has little of value to help families of autistic children so the diagnosis is nigh to irrelevant. If the family doesn't want the label, who cares? Science fiction has about as much to help an autistic family as science. Right now, the best families can do is to love their kids and give them intense one-on-one education–something the Travoltas did (home schooling is very one-on-one).
Americans are free. They are free to be stupid. Parents are free to educate their children in a manner they see fit. They are free to go to the church and associate with whom they desire. And people are free to not accept a diagnostic label, even if it means they're in denial, when the diagnosis yields little benefit (if any) and treatments are elusive.
All citizens should feel protective of these rights even if they disagree with how a person employs these freedoms individually. Freedom can be uncomfortable business, but totalitarianism is a whole lot less comfortable and it creeps on Americans one conventionally accepted dogma and public indictment at a time.

WSJ: The Freedom Market In Athletic AchievementSunday, August 24th, 2008
I alluded to this last week, but it is interesting how athletic performance has increased as more people have been trained in America:
What accounts for this extraordinary international cross-pollination? The desire for excellence and achievement. In sports, as perhaps in no other productive activity, success in competition is defined immediately and broadcast widely. The sports market is not entirely free. Athletes must submit to immigration limitations, visa restrictions and the like. But it is freer than most labor markets, and the opportunities for substantial gains are obvious.
Freedom promotes excellence.
China Demonstrates Why Dictatorial Regimes Always LoseTuesday, July 29th, 2008
I remember reading about how Saddam and his two insane sons would torture professional soccer players when they lost. Aside from the sheer horror described by the people who endured the abuse, it struck me as supremely stupid to expect players to perform their best when they cowered in fear.
Communist leadership in Eastern block countries before the wall came down and Russia and the fascists in Germany, Italy and Japan before them, just didn't get it. National pride is fine and dandy, but if the athletes aren't competing for the love, for themselves, the game will be a losing proposition.
At the Olympic level, the athletes excel physically and genetically and discipline-wise. Often what separates winners and losers is psychological and emotional: mental stamina and courage. A terrified athlete running away from losing is not the same as an excited athlete running towards winning.
So China harasses their athletes. Some kids who have worked their whole lives were just booted from the team. Other athletes who deeply desire retirement are being forced to compete. Does this sound like a winning formulation to you?
Although China is determined to top the medal tables at the Beijing Games next month, its sports administration has taken the draconian decision to drop 22 gold-medal winning athletes.
China won a total of 32 golds in Athens, and is hoping to top the 40 mark in Beijing.
Some of the athletes were forced out by injuries or strong competition, but the China Daily newspaper, thought to be the mouthpiece of the government, also said "politics" had played a part.
"There were some surprising exclusions … who would have a realistic shot at winning gold next month," the paper said.
The most obvious political victim was Tian Liang, nicknamed the "diver prince" after winning gold medals in the ten-metre platform dive at both the Sydney and Athens Olympics.
Tian, 28, was kicked off the national team in 2005 for unashamedly endorsing everything from wooden floors to seafood snacks. "He was producing a negative influence on the preparation for the 2008 Olympics," said a sports official.
He also hit the gossip columns for his relationship with fellow diver Guo Jingjing and they were dubbed the "Posh and Becks" of Chinese sport. She managed to stay on the team after she publicly denounced her behaviour.
Since then, Tian has tried to rehabilitate his career by competing at provincial level and refusing to criticise the administration for what happened. He carried the Olympic torch as it passed through Xi'an. However, he was still left out of the team and has voiced his "regrets".
Yeah, China will win loads of medals by kicking their superstars off the team because they don't toe the party line. But this is why these regimes die anyway.
When people are restricted from pursuing their dreams because some bureaucrat believes his talents lie elsewhere, people give up. A whole society of people not invested in their own success won't be invested in the country's success. So, the dictators get the exact opposite of what they hope for. Domination can come at the point of a gun, but sustained success and winning comes from from freedom to pursue what one loves.

Happy summer! I am so excited to share with you a makeover of one of my top selling products Grocery Store. I have had this on my to do list for some time. Once I got going I went crazy! It got so big I divided into two products. Now I have Grocery Store Dramatic Play and Food Math and Literacy Centers. For those of you who messaged me and only wanted the center activities, here you go! If you have purchased Grocery Store BEFORE today, I uploaded BOTH Food Centers and Grocery Store Dramatic Play in the file for you!
Let me show you all the additions I have made to Grocery Store Dramatic Play!
Now what did I make over? I added MORE classroom photographs so you can see my Grocery Store in action. I am a visual learner so I LOVE looking at other teachers' classrooms and on Pinterest to get new ideas because I can SEE it! I hope the extra photos give you inspiration to make your grocery store come to life in your classroom.
Originally, I took photographs of food containers to make the labels. Those are still in there because some of you have told me you liked the real pictures rather than clip art. I made NEW cute and adorable labels with fun clip art. There are more labels than you would need! You can organize your grocery store to best fit your classroom and your students.
Signs! I had MANY people request a blank set of signs so students could write the words on them! Wish granted!
Roles (who students pretend to be) for the grocery store are cashier, clerk, and shopper. Sometimes is it hard to think about ALL the things each role can do. I have a solution…a cheat sheet! I made a teacher cheat sheet that breaks down what each role can do. I find that if you give students MANY options, the play lasts longer, more props are used, students are more creative, more peer interactions and conversations occur! The best part is I observe LESS challenging behaviors! WHHHOO! There are so many different things for students to do, they are not fighting over props as much.
I couldn't share all about the grocery store without sharing about my favorite thing the produce section! I have these great marker boxes I keep for all my dramatic play fun and I added a scale and produce bags to create the produce section. Students created the veggies and fruits using paper, pipe cleaners, and pom poms! I LOVE when students can use their imagination during play. You don't have to always use the perfect plastic food in the dramatic play center.
My new product (drum roll please) Food Math and Literacy Centers full of fun, hands on games and activities and games! Why do worksheets when you can play games and have fun?
Literacy Fun! You will find fun, hands on games and activities to practice letter identification, syllables, vocabulary, reading comprehension, and writing. You can see Lunch Syllables below which is my favorite literacy game in the pack.
Food vocabulary word cards! We use in my classroom for so many different games and activities. Students build the words with magnet letters, stamp the words in play dough, write the words on chalk boards, clap the syllables, and sort the words by number of letters, beginning sound, or number of syllables. I use the upper case word cards with my younger students who are just learning their letters and the lower case with my pre-k students who are more familiar with their letters.
Math Fun! I made many FUN math games and activities to practice one to one correspondence, counting, addition, number identification, shapes, sorting, and patterns. My students last year LOVED Find and Trace Games. They had no idea that they were also building fine motor when they erased their boards! Look how inviting Food Shape Find and Trace looks. Students pick a card, find the shape on their board, ad trace it with a dry ease marker.
To celebrate the make over, Grocery Store Dramatic Play and Food Math and Literacy Centers are 50% off until midnight on Tuesday! Any new product I post is always 50% off for the first 24 hours so be sure to follow me to save!
A big thanks to the hosts of TPT Seller Challenge (Sparkling in Second, Teach Create Motivate, Peppy Zest Teacherista, & Third in Hollywood) to get me motivated to do a make over! I can't wait to see what they have in store for us next week.

What do I make? What does your colleague make in the next row of desks? How much is the going rate for a junior paid person?
I've always wondered these questions and more because 1) I don't want to leave money on the table and 2) I'm hiring a few people this year and want to be more open about what we pay them. Company's make salary a black box affair and that doesn't help any of us.
I've been told more than a few times not to discuss what I make with others on the team, which was because we all got contracted out at different rates. The survey is anonymous. I'm going to make the results public for everyone to see and keep this transparent.
survey closed: See Results
Sign Up For Next Year's Results & Survey
Salaries should be more open and if the industry won't help, then we need to help ourselves. I've launched a salary survey for everyone working in paid*. Survey closes 29th, February 2016 at Midnight PST.
Paid = Performance Marketing, PPC, Paid Search, Paid Social: FB, Linked In, Twitter ads or Amazon Ads, Demand Generation roles and even those guys in Display.

I made it to Honduras!!!
San Pedro Sula Travel Blog› entry 5 of 20 › view all entries
Hey Everyone,
This morning i crossed the border into Honduras, and into the city where im starting my dive job from on weds morning!! It doesn´t seem like a very nice city though but i havent really explored yet. Tomorrow i have to go and try and find my diving equipment bag, it got shipped from london but held up at customs under suspicion of drug smuggling... will be interesting! if i have enough time then i´ll go see some Mayan ruins about 3 hours from here for mon night/tues morning...
So on friday morning i left early and caught a boat over to Livingstone. The boat ride was incredible. I felt like i was in Jurassic park or something, there were all these really high cliffs with jungle growing on them as we went down the river. We also stopped of a random shop literally just built in the middle of the river. After about 2hrs we docked in Livingstone and it was very different to the other places ive been in Guatemala. For a start theres lots of descendents of black runaway slaves living there, so when your used to seeing just native Guatemalan indians and tourists, seeing black dudes with dreads that speak English but kinda singing it, takes a bit of getting used to! So i had a bit of a chill out day on friday, just wondered around, ate some really nice fish and tried to get used to the extreme heat!!
On Sat i went on a tour to a waterfall which was beautiful- and i could jump of the top into a pool of clean water!!!! which still hasnt lost its appeal! we also went on a canoe down a lake which was fun, and the guide excitedly showed us the weed plants growing by the side of the river... In the evening i went out with 2 of the girls from the trip and we drank rum and coconut milk, out of coconuts!!!
So thats it! This morning was a bit of journey, involving crossing borders... I´m not sure if im going to be able to update this again before weds morning. If i dont then ´bye until aug 28th!!! Ill be on my little island with no phone lines. Happy Graduations and Birthdays and everything else im not going to be able to say until then.
Miss you all loads,
Jo xxxxxxxxxxx

Chavez's OPEC Speech Spurs Rebuke From Saudi King
RIYADH -- Venezuela's firebrand President Hugo Chavez appears to have earned for the second time in a week a rebuke from a king, with Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah implying he shouldn't seek to use the oil cartel OPEC as a political weapon.
Mr. Chavez also warned the United States that oil prices would further surge if the U.S. contemplates an attack against his country or Iran.
Exactly a week after Mr. Chavez was told to...

No one was injured.

It's undeniable that in developing markets, the scarcity and infrastructure of water and electricity resources is a cause of worry, both from a cost and a routine perspective. Consumers in these developing markets are more often defined by their circumstances. There is a preference for semi-automatic twin tubs because the volume of water and the source can be controlled by the user i.e. not having to rely on water coming from the pipe. In markets where disruption of water can happen, being able to use rainwater, for example, is appealing.
The unreliability of electricity also has bearing on household appliance usage. For example, it would be risky to store large quantities of food in refrigerator. Hence there is little reason to invest in better technology and pay steep prices for electricity to meet their food storage needs. Similarly, electricity consumption has impact on laundry behaviour, where there is worry of the potential to overload the electricity system and cause an outage, disrupting their laundry routines.
It would be worth embracing a much more systemic approach that looks at factors beyond the more immediate factors relevant to the Samsung brand, the people that we're designing for, technological constraints, and business needs. There is a need to also take into account greater macro factors - social, economic, political, environmental, in order to help us understand how consumers' realities and behaviours have evolved, and the potential trajectory of this evolution.

Sarah's House kitchen
Sarah isn't shying away from color this season. She mixes up the colors for the cabinetry, brings in a few different fabics, uses two different types of stone for the backsplash and throws in some vintage lighting. She always makes it look so easy!

Another spring project
Now that the warmer weather is on its way (fingers crossed) I have been anxious to tackle my front door with a fresh coat of paint. Well, I'll be honest, I would redo the whole exterior if I had it my way! Even something simple like a new paint color for your front door can make all the difference. Yesterday while enjoying a grande non fat extra hot vanilla latte;) I was flipping through Domino magazine (oh... how I miss it) and came across a photo from the November 2008 issue by the style icon Miles Redd who was often featured. It is actually a picture of his own townhouse in NYC and I absolutely fell in love with it. It is the perfect robin's egg blue and it looks so inviting. Don't you think?

I'm thinking Palladian Blue (Benjamin Moore)?

Kitchen redo
I thought I would share some pictures of my home. Let's start with the kitchen. I am having trouble locating all of my before pictures of the house so for now I will share my kitchen. Nothing makes me happier than a good reno. I can't say my lovely husband agrees although I do my best to convince him otherwise!

Sarah's House bathroom
I am loving the bathroom Sarah did this week! It is so fresh and pretty and the color scheme of graphite with the yellow is a great combination. I happen to have this color combo in my bedroom so of course I'm a big fan.

Decluttering my shelving unit
I decided that my ikea shelving unit needed a major clean up. I had mentioned in an earlier post how I found the perfect project to start my spring cleaning. I always like changing things up and making things feel new again. This shelving unit had become a catch all for all sorts of things. I didn't buy anything new I just used the things I already had and reorganized it. Here are some before and after pictures.
Some things I like to keep in mind when styling bookshelves:
1. I like to group books into similar colors. This makes everything look more cohesive.
2. Don't group larger items at the bottom of the shelving unit. This makes it too bottom heavy. I like to spread out the larger items so it looks more balanced.
3. I find that frames can sometimes look lost on a cubby shelf like mine so I removed all of them and put them somewhere else.
4. I also like to group similar objects together. Whether its by color or shape it gives much more impact when grouped together.
5. Alternate books for a more interesting look. Stack some vertically and some horizontally.

Sarah's House bedrooms
I am really falling behind on my Sarah's House updates!! She did two bedrooms this week and they were both very different color schemes but both share a relaxed fresh country feel. I love the mix of patterns and the headboard in the blue room is fantastic! She also used my new favourite rug from Ikea that I now have to have. Here are a few pictures to enjoy.
Gorgeous headboard!
My new have to have rug! A herringbone 5'7 100% wool rug for only $199.00!!! Come on!!!!!!

Spring Cleaning
I don't know about you but every spring I feel like I need to clear both my head and my home of unnecessary clutter. This usually entails going through my house and either throwing out things I am sick of looking at (and by that I don't mean literally throwing things out but putting them in my ever growing crawl space of stuff) or moving things around and finding new places for furniture or objects. I have the perfect project to start this process. Stay tuned!

Glorious shades of blue
I have always been a huge fan of the color blue. Maybe it has something to do with that fact that I am a pisces! To me there is nothing better than being surrounded in blue. My house is painted in a gray blue and I have never grown tired of it. It is still considered one of the trendy colors probably because it is so versatile. From the lightest gray blue shade to the darkest navy end of the spectrum. I love them all! I hope these pictures inspire you to inject a little blue in your home.
I am in love with this kichen!

The holiday season is the perfect time for sparkling drinks. Stressed out from shopping? Champagne. Forget to add the sugar to your gingerbread? Champagne. Family won't stop asking what your six month old baby wants for Christmas? Champagne (baby doesn't want champagne, mommy does). It's an A+ holiday problem solver. And you don't have to drink it alone, that might get boring (and you might get a little too tipsy). I'm hear with the perfect solution! Sparkling Pomegranate Apple Cider is my new go-to holiday drink.

Christmas Countdown
I love Christmas and I really love Christmas Countdowns. Mostly because I never know what day it is and it's the best way I've found to make sure I know when to let the holiday panic set it. You don't want to panic too early haha. Almost all of the DIY Christmas Countdown projects I've seen require buying 25 of something. I don't know about you, but I've got enough stuff in my house! This tree count down is a step up from the basic paper chain, and while it can be a tiny bit tedious if you're a perfectionist it's easy enough to throw together.
12 Fantastic Fudge Recipes
Fudge is one of those things that I have to save for the holidays. It's not that I don't like it, in fact I love it too much. I can easily make myself sick eating it, recover and then do it again the the next day. I never learn. One of my favorite things about fudge is how versatile it is. Just about any flavor combination you can imagine can get turned into a fudge recipe. I've done some research (it's pretty grueling to stare at dozens of fudge recipes when you're hungry) and picked out 12 fudge recipes that cover the whole spectrum from classic chocolate to the slightly wacky green tea. Get your sweet tooth ready!
Dark Chocolate Cherry Fudge
There is a Mennonite-owned market on my way home from work; they have the best deli meat, an infinite variety of sprinkles and a whole aisle devoted to chocolate covered things. It's hard to pick but lately I've been drawn to the dark chocolate covered cherries and cranberries. Those snacks were the starting point for two of my holiday recipes this year. First up is a decadent Dark Chocolate Cherry Fudge. You'll need dried tart cherries for this (they might be called Montmorency). I bought a bag of dried bing cherries first and they tasted like raisins, don't get those. I bought mine at the same Mennonite market but believe it or not, Target carries them. [Read more…]

I work best with patients seeking to collaborate on goals and who are willing to step out of their comfort zones to explore new ways of thinking, understanding, communicating, and experiencing life. I understand and honor that each person comes with a unique situation and background. While using an eclectic and individualized approach, I draw heavily upon Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I enjoy working with adolescents and adults, specializing in the treatment of anxiety and stress-related disorders, parenting issues, and life balance.
Many find their way to therapy while struggling with issues such as anxiety, depression, or major life changes. Where most therapy ends with the resolution of the suffering, I continue to work with clients to ensure that they are not just surviving, but thriving and progressing, in their lives.
I believe we all deserve to live a full life grounded in love, awareness, gratitude, and joy.

Specializing in the treatment of:
- Anxiety
- Stress-related disorders
- Parenting issues
- Life balance
With a focus on:
- Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
- Is a way of paying attention to inner and outer experience with intention, in the moment, without judgment, and with compassion.
- Is being aware of the present moment, not living in the past or imagined future.
- Helps us identify our thoughts, gain distance from them and recognize how these thoughts mutually impact our body sensations, emotions, and behavior. With practice, we are more able to choose how and when we react, rather than our thoughts controlling our emotions and behaviors.
- Increases our capacity for physical relaxation, self-compassion, and promote a general sense of well-being and ease.
Research has shown regular mindfulness practice to benefit people in the following areas:
- Stress—Personal, work, school, family, financial, illness, grief, and relationships.
- Medical conditions—Heart disease, chronic pain and illness, asthma, high blood pressure, headaches, and increased immune response.
- Psychological issues—Depression, anxiety, panic, fatigue, and sleep disturbance.
- Wellbeing and prevention—Overall sense of ease, calm, enjoyment and engagement in life.
The beauty of mindfulness meditation is that it can be practiced anywhere, at any time, alone or with others. There are two general ways to practice mindfulness: formal and informal practice. Formal practice is when one sets aside a certain amount of uninterrupted time to sit quietly and attend to the focus of meditation, such as the breath. It is vital to establish a daily formal practice so one can build familiarity and strengthen the "mindfulness muscle" of attention. Informal practice occurs whenever we deliberately bring our awareness to our breath, body, thoughts or emotions at any point in the day. By combining the two, one increasingly spends more time in the present moment, more easily able to choose a response to a situation, rather than habitually reacting.

Yummy Spanish Rice
Spanish rice couples well with Tacos or Fajitas or Enchilladas. Those meals tend to be meat and dairy (cheese and sour cream) heavy and thus relatively expensive. Adding Spanish rice as a side dish gives us roughly double the meals for the same amount of expensive stuff and thus greatly drags down the total cost per meal. If you have huge tortillas and are down with the whole mission style thing just put the rice into the burrito. Also it is just frickin good.
I can heat up a nice big plate of the Spanish rice and it is a great meal. The recipe makes a bunch of the stuff. Usually enough for us both to have dinner and about two lunches.
This is the recipe Wifey uses. Also here are her hints:
First of all when you brown the rice in the olive oil it is uncooked ie measure out of bag and pour it strait into the olive oil. This is noted because in just about everything else where you add rice cooking the rice first is an implied task. Secondly when you add the broth to the rice ...it should be hot enough to simmer immediately. Then you put the lid on and DON'T TOUCH IT AGAIN, just let it cook until it is done. When you turn off the heat and let it 'rest' for 5 minutes don't lift the lid. Just let it be.

I love cooking rice. Try adding canned chicken to it and maybe some veggies and a sauce and you can make a simple meal from stored foods.

We eat rice more than any other starch (my latin heritage, I guess).
It's easy to make, too. My wife improved on my recipe, and now we make it this way:
Rice, twice as much chicken stock as rice, a little bit of oil (olive preferred but any cooking oil), seasoning. Bring to boil with lid on pot, turn heat to lowest possible setting and LEAVING THE LID ON, wait 20 minutes. The rice will be perfect.
The chicken stock was my wife's suggestion. The trick to cooking it is to leave the lid on while simmering, that moisture gets absorbed by the rice. If the bottom of the pot has a little visible moisture (it usually doesn't), just turn the heat up a bit and let it cook off, which takes a minute or two.
My wife actually measures ingredients, I figure that if I use a pot with straight sides I just need to double the depth of rice with stock.

I eat a lot of rice. It's easy to fix, and it's cheap. Usually I boil it up, then just put some butter and salt on it. But if I get really creative, I can mix it with pork and beans, or sausage, something of that nature.

use the spanish rice,add a pound of browned ground beef,a small can of tomato sauce and 1 can water.A complete meal!

What I've been up to
Another thing I've done today is to start going through our "old" toys and books and choosing some to donate so we can make room for our new things. So far I have several piles downstairs waiting to be donated next week. I am going to work on more weeding out over the next few days. It makes me very happy to purge some of our material items, though I am sad to say no one would walk into our home right now and notice that anything was gone. I have to accept that it's an on-going process and just keep plugging away I guess.
Oh, we also went to a teacher supply store so I could laminate a bunch of the stuff I've been printing off for our learning shelf at home. The learning shelf that hasn't been set up yet, that is. Even though I am a Montessori teacher (and have another whole blog devoted to that), I have yet to set up a "Montessori" shelf for my boys at home. That is on my to-do list for SOON. Now I've blogged it, so it must be done, right? Be prepared for some photos and posts about this soon. Until later..........take care, relax, and be well.

It takes ages to make the house seem emptier. Once you've started to get "stuff" out of the house it gets easier to see what needs to go.
If I have a particular room I need to have clear then I get everything out of it, clean it, move back in only what I want in there to have it the way I want it and then decide what needs to happen to whatever is left in the hall!!! Some goes somewhere else in the house but it focuses my mind beautifully and lots of "stuff" leaves the house. It is heaven to have a room as I want it and makes me realise that more than half what I have in my house is unwanted.
Hope that helps!!!

Keep going. I am not sure if I mentioned before but Egg lost 4 BOXES of stuff as his cupboard was damp. I can honestly say that although I would have liked to have kept some of it (esp his music box) his play has not suffered in any way.
I hate "stuff". This is going to sound really odd but I want a list of all the stuff in my house and I want reasons why the stuff should be there.
We need to move house, and I m trying to work out what to do about that (damp) and when we do I don't want stuff messing it up. Basically I don't know why I would even pack half the stuff in my house.
It was annoying when I tried to donate some BRAND NEW TOYS and I got told they didn't take toys anymore as no one was buying them UGH.

Anyone who owns a Mazda knows that when it comes to maintaining their car, truck, or SUV only the absolute best replacement parts will do. The vehicle in your driveway symbolizes the best in class when it comes to all the cars, trucks, and SUVs these days. It's not all the time that you discover you need a replacement Thermostats to fix your car or truck. Obviously, you didn't buy your RX-7 unless you understood you would be getting a variety of features and options and youthfulness both impeccably combined into one vehicle.
Your car or truck uses liquid coolant to maintain a constant temperature in the engine, and its thermostat keeps the coolant flowing in the right direction so that your engine can maintain a constant and ideal operating temperature. On start-up, the thermostat remains closed; bypassing the flow of coolant through your radiator. This gets the coolant hot so that the engine warms up. Once it reaches the right temperature, your Mazda RX-7 thermostat then opens up and allows the coolant into the radiator. Now your coolant gets cooled as it recirculates through your Mazda RX-7 engine; keeping it within a specific range of temperatures that are ideal for engine performance... all thanks to the thermostat.
Given all the hassles associated with installing a part to fix your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the first place you go to make buying it easy. Don't let a Thermostats repair bring about the demise of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by using anything but the highest quality replacement parts. At Car Parts Discount, we have real customer support agents here with enough expertise to help you purchase the correct Mazda RX-7 part for your project or repair. All the Mazda RX-7 Thermostats parts on this page will fit vehicles made in 1995, 1994, 1993, 1991, 1990, 1989, 1988, 1987, 1986, 1985, 1984, 1983, 1982, 1981, 1980, 1979.
