JAPAN posted a third consecutive trade deficit in 2013, providing more evidence that the power of the Japanese export machine has faded.
The government reported a trade deficit of 11.5 trillion yen ($118 billion) in 2013. That was compared with a deficit of ¥6.9 trillion ($87 billion) in the previous year. Those figures are based on exchange rates at the time.
That higher Japanese deficit came despite a weakening yen, which had been expected to increase Japanese exports far more than it did.
While Japanese exports were up 9 percent from 2012, they were still 17 percent below the 2008 level. Exports from other major world exporters, including China, the United States and Germany, have recovered and are now worth more than they were in 2008.
Japan cited the rising cost of oil imports as a major cause of the worsening trade picture. Its deficit with Middle Eastern countries rose 17 percent to ¥13.2 trillion.
The rising deficit may increase the pressure on the Japanese government to reconsider its decision to abandon nuclear energy after the Fukushima nuclear plant disaster in 2011. The ruling Liberal Democratic Party favors restarting some nuclear plants, but polls indicate a majority of citizens disagree.
But oil is not the only reason that Japan has run three consecutive annual trade deficits, the first for the country since 1980. Its deficit with countries in the Middle East was greater in 2008 than in 2013, but it still posted an overall trade surplus of ¥2.1 trillion that year.
As can be seen from the accompanying charts, which list most of Japan's major trading partners, its exports to each of them have underperformed its imports since 2008.
Nowhere has that been truer than the most troubled parts of the European Union. Japan's 2013 exports to Spain were 69 percent below 2008 levels, while its imports from that country leapt 57 percent. As a result, Japan went from having a bilateral surplus of ¥197 billion in 2008 to a deficit of ¥163 billion in 2014.
The turnaround with Greece was even sharper. In 2008, Greece imported ¥126 billion in goods from Japan, according to the Japanese figures. In the most recent figures reported, the 12-month total was down 92 percent from that.
On a per-capita basis, Greek imports went from being greater than Spain's in 2008 to being about a quarter as large. In 2008, per-capita Japanese exports to Greece were about a quarter as large as Japanese exports to the United States. In 2013, they came to less than 3 percent of the American rate.
Greece has never been a major exporter, and while its exports to Japan leapt 168 percent over the period, it still ran a trade deficit with Japan in 2013.
In 2013, Japan's exports to the United States were 23 percent below its exports in 2008, while its imports from the United States were 18 percent lower. But that was not enough to significantly reduce its trade surplus with the United States, which went from ¥6.2 trillion in 2008 to 6.1 trillion in 2013.

Showing You What's to Love About Shipping Containers
You take a look at a steel cargo container and you don't see much, right? You see the same thing that protects goods when they come across the ocean to our country, and there's nothing interesting about that. But truthfully, it's what's under the surface that counts when it comes to shipping containers and their many uses. Storage containers aren't just used for traveling goods anymore – they're a staple in offices, and a money-saver at that. Let's look at the many ways that we can use storage containers and what w

July 30, 2012
Left Steven's Pass July 21 to Hike section K opting to exit at High Bridge and return to Seattle starting with the ferry in Stehekin.
My hiking partner and I convinced several of our friends to give us a ride to Steven's Pass from Seattle and hike in the first 10 mile to Lake Janus for a fun evening of camping. A sign of things to come, we ran into snow just prior to dropping into the Lake Vahalla basin. After a quick bite we all cruised in to a marshy and cool Lake Janus with plenty of snow still hanging around.
Parting with our friends we began our trek in earnest Sunday July 22 from Lake Janus. It was foggy and cool and after a quick ascent out of the lake basin we began to deal with a good deal of snow and route finding problems around Glasses Lake. Luckily we had brought microspikes and ice axes which became necessary as we crossed over increasingly difficult snow covered scree fields. Made camp at Saddle Pass just off the snow.
Made a quick descent into Pass Creek with some snow crossings. The easy travel was welcome after a long rainy night. Snow free travel out of the Pass Creek drainage and then spent the rest of the day in snow. Made camp at Indian Pass-halway melted out and shrouded in fog.
Quickly found the trail and finally enjoyed the first of many sunny days as we began working towards Red Pass. Easy going on the west aspect but as we crossed over towards Reflection pond we were traversing snow fields until we crossed back over at White Pass. There was still nasty snow patches in various states of melt out to deal with the rest of the way to Red Pass in the many ravines crossing the trail but by and large the snow was gone. After some lunch and spreading out our gear to dry on the rocks we made our way the last 1/8 mile to Red Pass the northeastern side was covered in snow and we glissaded a good 600′ down into the White Chuck River Valley. Snow continued to create route finding problems until we got to the switchbacks. Then travel was easy except for some brushiness nearing Kennedy Creek. Bridge is still broken but useable. Headed up Kennedy Ridge and made camp at Glacier Creek as the snow began to reappear.
Another sunny day and mixed travel on snow and exposed trail past Pumice Creek and then on to Fire Creek Pass. Eventually gave up on route finding and accended to the pass directly via the remaining snowfields. After lunch made it down to a frozen Mica Lake in four glissades interrupted by some short traverses. Dropped into Milk Creek basin. Trail in rough condition with lots of erosion, landslides, stress fractures forming and intense overgrowth nearing the bottom. Re routed onto the Milk Creek Trail after crossing the new bridge also very overgrown. After a series of switchbacks recconnected to the PCT where life improved. Still lots of bushwhacking everytime you cross the avy chute as you work your way up. Made camp in a small grove of Doug Fir in a snow covered meadow 1 mile short of the Grassy Point Trail
Our campsite definitely benefitted from the dry air of eastern Washington now that we had made our way around to the north side of Glacier Peak. Once past Grassy Point TH we made quick time to the new PCT section and Suiattle River Bridge Crossing. After some lunch made our way to the unmaintained but very useable Miner's Creek Campground. Barely got the tent up before a thunderstorm rolled through.
Quickly made Suiattle Pass the next morning just as the sun burnt through the fog. Descended into Agnes Creek valley and talked to the first people we had seen since Sunday. Rerouted onto the Agnes Creek Trail which had some overgrown and marshy sections but was easy travel compared to our previous days. Lunch at Hemlock Camp was a real treat and we took our time. Hustled down to 5 mile camp in the afternoon. Two of the first thru hikers if not the first two soon appeared and after a brief conversation went scrambling over the log bridge.
Hiked the remaining 5.5 miles to the Shuttle in the morning. Without GPS, spikes and ice axes we would have probably turned back by day 3 if not day 2. Route finding would have taken a considerable amount of time, which we didn't have, and some of the snowfields, especially in steeper ravines posed nasty hazards. Seems like things should improve greatly in the next two weeks though.

It's vacation time and you need to consider whether you will be traveling with your dog or leaving him behind. Part of your decision will be the kind of vacation you want to take and where. Make your decision with lots of time to plan, so you can make arrangements for him in either case. Below are the things to take into consideration when traveling with your dog.
Travel is Stressful on Your Dog
Traveling may be fun for you, but it is stressful for your dog, causing him confusion and anxiety. Dogs are creatures of habit and routine. They are happiest when they are in familiar surroundings. As much as you want to have your dog with you, this is the time to think of him and what he needs as opposed to what you want. There will be situations where leaving Fido behind is better than taking him with you. If your dog is not well-behaved and well-trained, it would be better to leave him at home.
If you are planning on taking him, you need to plan and make arrangements in advance to avoid any surprises or catastrophes along the way. Call all locations you are planning on visiting and ask if they allow dogs. If they do, also ask if there are any restrictions.
Make Sure Shots are Up-to-date
You will need a certificate of health from your vet and a record of up-to-date shots if you are planning on crossing the border or flying with your dog. Your dog should wear his collar at all times while traveling. Make sure your dog has an identification tag with your contact information attached to his collar along with another form of identification such as a micro-chip or tattoo.
BYOF: Bring Your Own Food
Bring enough of your dog's regular food to cover the duration of your trip, plus a few extra meals in case you are delayed in returning home for any reason. It's best to take the food with you, rather than banking on being able to find his brand of food in the location you are traveling to. If you are traveling within your own country, it is helpful to pre-portion his food into single-serve packages using Ziploc bags. Also make sure you have sufficient water for him. Bottled water is preferable as your dog can get sick from drinking water in a strange location.
Travel food and water bowls are convenient to have as you can fold them up and put them away when your dog is finished with his meal. It also saves having to carry heavier ceramic bowls, which can break in transit.
If you are traveling to another country, you'll want to purchase a smaller sized bag of your dog's food and make sure it stays sealed. Very often, foreign countries will not allow you in with an open bag of dog food as it could potentially be contaminated with pests. Purchase only the size you'll need for your trip as you may not be able to return home with the leftovers either.
Clean Up After Your Dog
Remember to be a good citizen and be diligent about cleaning up after your dog. Nobody wants to stumble upon your dog's poop. Make sure you pack lots of poop bags.
What to Pack for Your Dog:
- Food & treats (unopened if traveling out of the country)
- Bottled Water
- Food and water dishes
- Collar & Leash with ID tags
- Towels to dry off with
- Blankets or a dog bed
- First aid kit for dogs
- Grooming tools – brushes, de-shedding tool etc.
- Toys and bones
- Poop bags
- Any medication your dog may be taking
Staying In a Hotel with Your Dog
These days, there are many pet-friendly hotel options available to pet owners. It is still a good idea to book ahead. Let the reservation staff know that you are bringing a dog with you. Most hotels set aside specific rooms as pet rooms, so even though a hotel allows pets, once they sell out of their pet-friendly rooms, you may be out of luck. Be prepared to pay extra for having your dog stay with you. It will cost you anywhere from $15 – $75 or more, depending on the type of hotel.
Don't Leave Your Dog Alone
Never leave your dog alone in the hotel room. Not even to just run out to grab a quick bite to eat. Your dog is in a strange environment, with new smells, people and sounds that he is not used to. Dogs in strange situations can bark more than they would if they were at home. No matter how well-trained a dog is, you may find that he barks continuously while you are gone, disturbing others. He may also cause damage to the hotel room out of anxiety.
Find a "Pet-Friendly" Hotel
Look for hotels that don't just allow pets, but are pet-friendly. They will have additional services catering to your dog that will make his stay a little more pleasant and fun.

Biphenyl and Anthraquinone
in Organic Herbs, Spices and Tea
23.09.2015 | At its last meeting, the German BNN has decided to release a public statement on the application of the BNN orientation value for biphenyl and anthraquinone detected in organic herbs, spices, herbal teas and tea.
Biphenyl is not only detected in fresh (potted) herbs, but also in dried organic herbs and spices and in organic tea. In addition, Anthraquinone has been detected for some time in the same product groups. Biphenyl and Anthraquinone are mainly due to combustion processes and their detection alone does not imply a breach of the Council Regulation on Organic Agriculture. However, since Anthraquinone and Biphenyl are applied as pesticides, they are subject to pesticide legislation according to EC 396/2005. For this reason, a public statement of the BNN was essential as a guideline on how to deal with findings in organic products.
Findings up to 0.05 mg/kg Biphenyl and 0.02 mg/kg Anthraquinone are to be considered as random or inevitable according to this public statement. For organic products, the BNN statement is taken into account when findings are assessed on your GALAB Certificate of Analysis.

This is the final post of a three part series: In the last two blogs I discussed what to look for in a recruiter and how to effectively engage one. Now it's time to consider the next steps and discuss how to proceed in the process in a manner that will result in maximizing your chances for not just finding – but landing – an outstanding opportunity. You can catch up on the first two blogs in this series here.
Don't Play Hard to Get
When we discuss an opportunity that is of interest to you, tell me. Don't play hard to get.
Believe it or not, companies are paying more for candidates that show a genuine interest in their company. If you think by playing the "well, if the money is right, I'll take the job" game is the way to entice them to pay you more, you're sadly mistaken, my friend. Also, if you plan on accepting a counter offer to stay at your current company, here's a word of advice. Don't do it. It won't be in your best interest. Sure, you may get a few extra dollars today. But, the next time a lay-off hits your company, the first people they will cut are those who have shown any disloyalty.
So, here's what you do: if you truly feel you deserve a raise, just go to your boss and demand a raise. Seriously. If you get one, congratulations! Note, most raises are around between four and five percent these days. If you don't get one, you'll know it's probably time to start looking around. By the way, most salary increases for changing jobs these days are around 10 percent, so don't be expecting to get 25 percent or more. Those rarely happen. Just pay your dues, and your rewards will come.
Once You're In, You're In
That leads me to my last point: once I place you in a company, I cannot and will not pull you out of that company. Ethics are of paramount importance to an executive recruiter. If a company pays me a handsome fee to hire you, I cannot take you or anyone else at the company out of there.
However, if you should leave that company for whatever reason, I will be happy to work with you again. I have been successful in placing a number of candidates various times throughout their careers.
A Little Background on Me
For nearly 15 years I have been recruiting Account Management/Media/Strategic Planning personnel for leading ad agencies coast to coast. Prior to recruiting, I spent a decade in Account Management for FCB, Bozell, and other notable agencies.
Today, I work with partners who fill positions in CRM/Interactive, Sales Promotion, Public Relations, etc. We work together in the advertising industry. Rest assured when you call Lucas Group looking for a PR Director position, we immediately have you talk with someone had a career in communications prior to recruiting in it. We walk the walk, and we talk the talk.
A recruiter can be a valuable and indispensible asset as you grow your career, so you might as well find a good one that has deep passion for and direct knowledge in your industry. All the best to you.

Everyone had a most relaxing time, some did a little, some did heaps! Here are some photos.

At the beginning of this story, the other wife (Peninnah) had all the children. Year after year, Hannah would take her sacrifice to the Lord and pray… Continue reading Mighty Women of God – Hannah
Invitation Waiting
The invitation is waiting.... So let me set the stage for how this came to me. It is a time of prayer and fasting at church. As a family, the boys and I have given up social media, television, almost all electronics; in an effort to remove distractions. So if I'm not reading the Bible,… Continue reading Invitation Waiting

Anxiety: Everyone describes anxiety differently. To some it's fear, worry, nervousness, but to others it comes in forms of panic attacks. Either way, anxiety can be debilitating. In the past few months, I have experienced stress and anxiety like I never had before. Until just recently, I had never had such severe anxiety that… Continue reading Anxiety

"There was a man of Benjamin whose name was Kish, the son of Abiel, son of Zeror, son of Becorath, son of Aphiah, a Benjaminite, a man of wealth. And he had a son whose name was Saul, a handsome young man. There was not a man among the people of Israel more handsome than he. From his shoulders upward he was taller than any of the people. " I Sam. 9: 1-2
Sounds like a catch! Rich, handsome, tall, from a humble tribe… The kind of man that folks just want to follow. The kind of man folks pick to lead them. The kind of man sent to find the lost animals. What?
Yep, Saul's rich father sent Saul across the countryside to find the lost donkeys. Of course, this was before he was king. So along with his servant, he traipses high and low, to find the donkeys.
We can see some of Saul's early character in this search and rescue mission. First of all, he went. I would think that someone other than the son of the wealthy man could search for the donkeys. But we see no complaint from Saul. Then we see that he really searched. Through one land and then another and another. He was diligent. He was not easily distracted. Third, we see his concern for his father as the search was continuing (although, I think the lack of bread mentioned later in the passage might've had more to do with his desire to return home 🙂 ) that his father might begin to worry about him. Fourth, we see that he was kind and attentive with his servant. His servant felt some confidence in suggesting a different plan than Saul proposed. And Saul was all ears. He listened, considered the situation, asked for advice, and followed the advice of the servant.
So they went to Samuel. Of course, this was all pre-ordained by mighty God. Samuel was expecting Saul and prepared to obey God. And what did God say was Saul's purpose as king? To restrain the people of Israel. It looks like the leadership was intended to be more of a blockade to the stubborn people of Israel.
Anyway, a couple of final observations in this interaction with Samuel. One is that Saul was humble. When Samuel showed him favor, Saul was confused because of his humble origins. The last is that Samuel says that he would tell Saul all that was on Saul's mind the next day. What kind of things were on his mind? I thought he went to Samuel to find the donkeys and Samuel already told him about the donkeys. Was Saul beginning to speculate as to the nature of Samuel's words to him? Did he have other concerns that were unspoken yet known by Samuel? I don't know. Sorry. I do see that Samuel is going to tell Saul the word of God. Saul sent the servant home at Samuel's request and chapter 10 might bring some answers.

I'm outta here
So the news that I couldn't say on Friday is that I have a new job! Wheee! Today I handed in my notice at Boltblue, so I can finally tell you guys. Unfortunately, for other reasons I can't say where my new job is for a while -- so you have 30 days to guess :-) People who actually know: please keep in mind that posting it in the comments is not big and not clever, and in any case will get me in trouble, so please don't :-)
I have also uploaded the final two days of the NYC pics. But I'm sure you're all sick to death of them by now anyway.

The Feast of the Drowned (Doctor Who: New Series Adventures #8) by Stephen Cole
The naval ship the HMS Ascendant has mysteriously sunk in the North Sea. The Doctor isn't inclined to investigate until Rose and her friend get a ghostly visitation from one the seamen who was aboard ship. Though it makes absolutely no sense, Keisha is determined to head to the Thames and throw herself in because she believes that somehow against all odds that she will find her brother and rescue him before the feast. It would be bad enough if the Doctor, Rose and Mickey only had to deal with one person who had lost touch with reality, but many of the inhabitants of London are determined to throw themselves in the Thames and the ones who do, never resurface for some reason. With more and more people disappearing each day, it's a race to find out what is going on and how to stop it.
The Feast of the Drowned very much reminded me of the Waters of Mars, largely because the Doctor is fighting an alien species which thrives in water and takes over human bodies. Part of the reason I pick up these Doctor Who books is to enjoy new adventures with characters I've grown to love and or miss terribly. In fairness to Cole, The Feast of the Drowned was actually released quite a few years before theWaters of Mars but because I have already seen the episode in question so many times, this book felt very repetitive to me. It did however make me wonder if this book was the inspiration behind The Waters of Mars?
The repetitiveness was not at all helped by Mickey, and Keisha's fixation on the fact that Rose had disappeared with the Doctor for a year. By this point, everyone should be over this. Keisha in particular seems very jealous of Rose and angry by the way that her friend has changed. Because of all that Rose has seen, she cannot simply go back to being content bar hopping on a Friday night and this has created a disconnect. She has moved so far past some people that the relationship will never be the same and Keisha seems determined to make her pay for it. I really just wanted to be done with the guilting of Rose.
In terms of characterization, I feel that Cole did a pretty good job with Jackie, Rose and of course our beloved 10th Doctor. One of the things I remember the most from Tenant's era is every alien being offered the chance to leave or end the damage they were causing before being annihilated by the Doctor. Tenant's Doctor was often brutal in his application of justice and we can see that coming into play in The Feast of the Drowned. When the aliens who have drowned humans in order to use them as incubators for their offspring refuse the Doctor's offer of relocation, the justice he exacts is swift and final. This time, there's no one to tell him to stop or to wait, no one to remind him of his own rules - the Doctor simply acts.
I love that Rose never gave up and did everything she could do to block the alien's plans for humanity. She didn't put up with any of the Doctor's lip nor fall for any of Mickey's attempt to get to play the waitress by making him coffee. Rose is always aware of what her strengths and weaknesses are and always plays to her strengths.
Jackie is very much like the Jackie Tyler that we have come to know. She is obsessed with the latest guy she comes across, not afraid to give the Doctor shit for endangering her daughter and has a willingness to risk herself for Rose at the drop of the hat. Jackie is also confident enough to listen to Rose when she is warned that she is being set up in a trap. All of these things were wonderful but for me, the best Jackie Tyler moment was her slapping the Doctor. I don't recall Jacking actually slapping the 10th doctor, (though she slapped nine) but I think the whoverse should always make room for a Jackie Tyler slap.

If you'd just spent $17.2 billion on something, wouldn't you need a drink too?
Well, Reuters–which recently parted with just such a sum in its acquisition of Thomson West (aka Westlaw)–is hosting one of many pre-parties for this week's White House Correspondents' Association dinner. Some of the drink specials that will be available at the bar include:
Hillary's Bosnian Bull-shooter
If you're hoping to get intoxicated from this drink, run for cover. A single shot will keep you honest.
Distilled water imported from Tuzla.
Barack O'Bomber
More popular than ever with the younger set, the O'Bomber is sure to bowl you over. For a truly religious experience, polish it off and order another. You'll be singing its praises – and Wrightfully so.
Vodka, Jagermeister, Red Bull energy drink with a lime wedge.
The Senior Moment
This one packs such a punch that you'll have trouble distinguishing one extremist group from another.
Scotch on the rocks, no twist.
Thx to Shenanigans

ARLINGTON, Texas — The Texas Rangers have acquired minor league left-hander Kelvin Gonzalez from the Kansas City Royals for a $250,000 international signing bonus allocation.
The Rangers assigned Gonzalez to the Class A Arizona League Rangers after the deal announced Thursday. The 20-year-old was 0-2 with a 4.19 ERA and one save in 11 relief appearances with short-season Class A Burlington in the Kansas City organization.
Gonzalez made his U.S. debut with the Arizona League Royals last year after spending most of his first two professional seasons with the Royals' entry in the Dominican Summer League. He signed as an undrafted free agent out of the Dominican Republic in 2015.

The British pound dropped Monday following news reports that several Conservative members of Parliament want Prime Minister Theresa May to resign, the latest sign of turmoil in the British government.
Meanwhile, the dollar, which ended last week on a low note, is clinging on to modest gains as the U.S. market is looking at another day with a dearth of catalysts.
What markets are doing?
Sterling GBPUSD, -0.1151% changed hands at $1.3117, down from $1.3191 late Friday in New York. The pound traded as low as $1.3062, nearing its early-November nadir at around $1.3050, which came after the Bank of England raised interest rates—a boon to sterling—but implied that concerns about the pace of growth might make future rate increases less likely.
It is up about 6% against the dollar this year but remains down about 12% since the U.K. voted to leave the European Union in June 2016. The euro rose 0.4% against the pound EURGBP, -0.0709% on Monday, changing hands at £0.8896.

Elsewhere, the dollar is up 1.5% against the South African rand USDZAR, +0.4852%, following the resignation of South Africa's deputy director-general of the Treasury, Michael Sachs, whose office was responsible for country's budget. South African President Jacob Zuma's plan to reduce fees for tertiary education has made headlines given the country's debt level. Zuma's fees commission report released today recommends government funding for universities to be increased and technical and vocational education be free. One dollar bought 14.4744 rand, compared with 14.3704 rand late Friday.
In South America, the U.S. dollar dropped 10% against the Venezuelan bolivar US:USDVEF, as the debt-ridden country began talks with its creditors on Monday. On Friday, Venezuelan bonds rallied as investors expressed their optimism about Monday's talks, even though they did not lead to an immediate solution, according to reports. Most pressingly, Venezuela's state-run oil company Petróleos de Venezuela, SA missed a $1.12 billion principal and $47.7 million interest payment on Nov. 2. One dollar last bought 9.9851 bolivar.
The ICE U.S. Dollar Index DXY, +0.08% was up 0.1% at 94.489, up from 94.386 late Friday, as the pound's weakness helped it advance. The broader WSJ Dollar Index BUXX, +0.12% was up 0.2% at 87.71.
The euro EURUSD, -0.1361% rose to $1.1667 against the dollar, up 0.2%.
Against the Japanese yen USDJPY, -0.08%, the dollar rose 0.3% at ¥113.59. The pair was little changed following Bank of Japan Gov. Haruhiko Koruda's comments that the central bank was committed to its ultralow interest rate policy. Kuroda also said that the inflation target of 2% is still far out of reach.
Against the Canadian dollar USDCAD, +0.3801%, the dollar rose 0.4% to C$1.2729.
What's moving markets?
The Sunday Times reported over the weekend that 40 Conservative lawmakers had agreed to sign a letter of no confidence in May. Just eight more members of parliament are required to start a formal party leadership challenge, according to the report.
May's Conservative Party, which lost its majority in Parliament in a June election, has been plagued by scandals that have led to the resignations of two ministers this month. Priti Patel, the international development secretary, resigned last week after details emerged about her unauthorized meetings with Israeli officials, while Defense Secretary Michael Fallon resigned earlier in November after allegations of inappropriate conduct toward women.

The U.K. is also facing growing pressure from Europe, with the U.K.'s planned exit from the EU scheduled for March 2019. On Friday, the EU's chief Brexit negotiator gave the U.K. a two-week deadline to show that sufficient progress has been made on a trio of divorce issues for talks to move forward.

In the U.S., investors continue to focus on developments in Washington surrounding tax-cut proposals. Headlines on the topic swayed the dollar all of last week, suggesting there could be more sensitivity ahead.
What strategists are saying?
"Brexit risks and the stability of the government have pushed to the top of the list of priorities as far [as] the FX outlook is concerned," analysts at Macquarie Bank in Singapore wrote in a note on Monday.
Here's Kit Juckes, global macro strategist at Société Générale, via Twitter:
"With the greenback becoming increasingly sensitive to expectations of proposed U.S. tax reforms, any positive, or negative, news on these developments has the ability to spark volatility," said Lukman Otunuga, research analyst at FXTM.
What are the data?
The U.S. federal budget deficit for October stood at $63 billion dollars up by $17 billion from the same period last year.

The Carson City Sheriff's Office Special Enforcement Team made a big drug bust Saturday following a two month investigation. 61 year old Jessie Thomas Archuleta was arrested with almost two ounces of meth, three grams of fentanyl, scales, baggies, and a booklet that kept track of everyone who bought drugs from him. Carson City Sheriff Kenny Furlong says because an extremely small amount of fentanyl can cause an overdose, they had to have extra help in case anyone on the investigation came in contact.
Archuleta is being held on more than quarter of a million dollars bail.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Northrop Grumman Corp (NOC.N) has won a $427 million U.S. Air Force deal for work toward modifying a previously planned National Polar Orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System to establish a Defense Weather Satellite System "baseline," the Defense Department said on Tuesday.
The White House announced on February 1, 2010, that the civil-military weather satellite program was to be dissolved, and that two separate lines of polar-orbiting satellites to serve military and civilian users would be pursued instead.
Work on the modification project will be performed by Northrop Grumman Space and Mission Systems of Redondo Beach, California, the Pentagon said in its daily contract digest. The notice did not define the scope of work nor specify what was meant by "baseline" for the new project.

Modern Foreign Languages are very important to us at Victoria Road Primary School. We believe that they provide a valuable educational, social and cultural experience for all children. Language learning can help support all sorts of skills that the children use across the curriculum; especially speaking and listening, social skills and self-esteem.
The main language learnt is French. This is because of our close links with France, as a school and city, and because French is offered locally at KS3. We have a strong friendship with our partner school in Brest and a French trip for Years 5 and 6.
In Foundation and KS1, the aim is a 'training of the ear' and we focus mainly on listening and then speaking skills. As the children progress through KS2 there is an increasing focus on reading and then writing skills. In KS2 this extends to learning the phonics and grammar of the language and developing reading and writing skills. Much of what we do in the foreign language is based firmly on the skills development that underlies the rest of the curriculum, such as, listening attentively, picking up new patterns or memorising.

There was a day last week in which I felt very anxious and overwhelmed; which is unusual for me. I'm usually a peaceful and joyful person but for some reason, on that day, this wasn't the case.
By the end of the day, I was trying to put my finger on what may have been the determining factor for my unrest. I really couldn't come up with any particular cause until a couple of days later.
As I was journaling about that particular day and the feelings I had experienced, I ended up with a list of possible culprits. It was basically a list of problems. Then the Lord revealed the cause of my anxiety.
It wasn't one particular thing that was the cause of me feeling anxious and overwhelmed, It was a sea of them. I then saw the whole scenario play out in my mind.
I saw Peter walking on the rough water as Jesus invited him to do so. He was focused on Jesus. Then I saw Peter begin to sink and begin to drown in that very same water (Matthew 14:28-30).
What had caused Peter to go from walking on the water and then, within minutes, drowning in that same exact water? What had changed? Had the water changed? Had Jesus changed?
No! Peter had changed his focus. Instead of keeping his eyes on Jesus, the One who enabled him to walk on the rough water, he looked at the source of his anxiety; the rough water.
Hebrews 12:2 Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer, and perfecter of faith.
For me, the rough water represents life's problems and walking on the rough water represents victory over those problems. We can either walk on top of our problems in victory by keeping our focus on Jesus or we can drown in them by putting our focus on those problems, on ourselves, and on our inability to remove or change those problems.
And that's exactly how I felt. I felt as though I was drowning in a sea of problems and impossibilities. Sure it's impossible to walk on the water (walk in victory over our problems) on our own but nothing is impossible with God.
Matthew 19:26 Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
Do you sometimes feel anxious and overwhelmed with life and it's endless problems and annoyances? Do you feel as though you are drowning in a sea of overwhelming circumstances? Are you frustrated with your inability to change those circumstances?
What are you focusing on? Who are you focusing on? Have you taken your eyes off of Jesus and put them on your problems or on yourself and your own inabilities?
1 Peter 5:7 Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.
Jesus is inviting us to walk on the water with Him; to walk in victory with Him. Our circumstances may not change but neither does Jesus.
Sometimes the only thing we can control is what or whom we choose to focus on. Let's keep our eyes on Jesus! Let's walk on top of our problems and stop drowning in them.
1Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
~Patrice Maguire
If you would like to accept Jesus as your savior pray this prayer: Dear God, I know I have sinned and I want to ask for Your forgiveness. I believe that Jesus died for my sins. I now accept Your offer of eternal life. With the help of the Holy Spirit, I will follow Jesus as my Savior and try to obey Him in all that I do. Thank you for my new life. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.

We are at the 100 day mark in the countdown for Baby #2's arrival! The next three months will go fast. I know this because my life always seems to be whizzing by me. I blink and days, weeks and months vanish. Where does the time go? With the next three months being on the full side, Jeremy and I are pretty much done with our baby prep. This has to be some kind of record. We still have a few things like diapers to stock up and a name to pick… Some minor and major things… but overall, we are ready. At least in the "baby stuff" department. A lot of our preparedness comes from having a lot of the stuff already thanks to Owen. Having two boys in a row means no new wardrobe is needed. Recently, I took down a few boxes of baby clothes and started to wash them and put them away. It's crazy the memories these little outfits have attached to them. It's also mind blowing how small these little humans start out as. And how dirty they are! I had to sort through quite a few stained items and get rid of a few pieces that were too far gone. For small creatures, babies are messy! Moving on… The nursery took shape quickly. Once we had the penguin theme set in place, all the elements came together easily. I was surprised at how fast a room can be assembled. Again, it helped that we had pieces like the dresser, changing table and glider already in place. Getting ready for Baby #2 way less overwhelming than preparing for the first baby. I am enjoying the creative side of things without having the doubts and worries of a first time mom. The list of things they tell you to have when you are a first parent is insane. Of course, every item that you don't have makes you wonder if your baby will be able to survive without it. This time, I know exactly what we need and what will get used. It's nice going into round 2 with more confidence. I'd been holding off on posting nursery pictures until we were finished and I guess we are at that point! Enjoy the preview!
100 Days to Go! July 17, 2015
Weekend Projects June 6, 2015
Our little family has been looking forward to some time around the house this weekend. Owen is doing a lot better, but his mood and appetite are still a bit affected by his tummy bug. We decided to stay around the house and give Owen just a little more time before he re-entered the real world. This did mean that we missed a few opportunities to celebrate with some high school graduates, but I'm sure they appreciated us not bring our screaming toddler to their parties. With two days fully at home, we went into project mode. As always, Jeremy and Owen had plenty of time outside to work on yard stuff. On Friday, while the boys were outside, I took on steam cleaning our carpets. It's never an easy task, but it's so worth it. I find it rewarding to pour out that dirty water and know that the dirt isn't in my carpet anymore. I love it! With our office now cleared, we set work on moving things around. Owen got a new chair (relocated from our room) and a new dresser. Toby moved in our room where the chair had once been. We moved Owen's old dresser, glider and changing table into the new nursery. It's no longer an office. I know it's a bit early to set up the nursery. We still have a long way to go before we have everything we need. We assumed that switching things up in Owen's room might take a bit of adjusting. We would rather go through a slow adjustment period before the next little Scott arrives. Jeremy assembled Owen's dresser this morning. It's an Ikea product, so of course, there were many pieces and screws. Owen helped and hindered as his mood preferred. I tried to keep Owen from relocating important screws all over the house. Once the dresser was complete, I spent a good deal of time this afternoon rearranging things and sorting them as I tucked into their new homes. I love organizing and this puzzle was just the challenge I was looking for. I really like how things turned out. Owen's new chair now has his raccoon lamp by it and the corner looks like a reading nook. The new dresser and the new chair really give his room a more "big boy" look. The funny thing is Jeremy didn't want to move the glider's ottoman out of the room until we find a replacement ottoman. The look isn't quite cohesive, but I'll try to fix that in the near future. Overall, it has been a busy weekend for the Scott family. Lots got accomplished and now we are looking forward to a day of rest! That is what Sunday is for, right? (After church, of course!)
Going Gray and Other House Projects July 29, 2014
I mentioned in my book blog that I just finished a book called The Nesting Place by Myguillyn Smith. It's a book all about how home decorating doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful. I've never super interested in home decor. I don't have a Pinterest account or anything like that. My decorating style is practical, functional and not a lot of frill. I like clean lines for the most part. I'm also partial to the colors blue, brown, cream, gray. And that about sums me as a decorator. However, this book got me thinking about my home. I decided to read it based on the recommendation of some of my favorite authors, but also because I'm spending a lot more time at home these days. It seems like now is the time to take some risks and do projects that I'd been contemplating. Here is what Jeremy and I have been up this last week.
It all started with a trip to Home Depot to pick up some paint swatches to put on the walls. For a long time Jeremy and I have been waiting to change the color of our living space. Back in the day when we had cream carpet, the brown wall in our kitchen/dining space worked for us. But… we added a back splash with blues and grays and the brown didn't quite go as well. Then we changed our carpets out for laminate floors that are brown and suddenly the space at a lot of dark brown in it. When we first painted our house, we painted everything in the front room Toasted Cashew. It was a tan/cream color, but I've always wondered if it had too much yellow it in. I'm not a huge fan of yellow. The tan/cream neutral was marvelous when we had all dark brown furniture. But then… we got cream colored furniture that blended with the wall. We also got a set of cube bookshelves that came with cream colored bins. The cost of replacing the bins with a different color was too much, so the cream bins stayed and added more cream to the room. Thus, you now understand our decision to repaint. We wanted to paint the walls all one color again and get rid of the two tone we had going with the brown and cream. We also wanted a color that wouldn't blend with the floors and furniture. This led us to Gray Mist – the new color of walls. After having the samples up on the wall for a week, Jeremy decided to go for it. I didn't expect to paint this last weekend, it just happened… Jeremy tackled all the painting while I kept Owen out of everything and alive.
You'd think painting was enough, but we also did other projects around the house this last weekend. We have started to childproof our cabinets now that Owen is on the move. We added safety latches to the bathrooms because of the chemicals that we store under the sinks. Next will be the kitchen, but because of the hassle, we are waiting just a little while longer. Right now Owen doesn't know how to open cabinet doors, but we know it's only a matter of time.
I also had a few design changes I wanted to make to our front room. First, the bins I was talking about earlier have a plastic covered pouch on the front of them. I'm assuming it's so you can label the bin with the contents inside of it. I, however, didn't want to label my bins. I like to keep the insides a mystery to my guests. I wanted to add some visual interest so inside of using the pouches for labeling, I just filled them with scrapbook paper that matched our walls and rug. I really like the pop of color the bins now add to the room while still maintaining their warm, creamy color.
We also removed a piece of artwork that has been on a random small wall. We had a picture of the ocean which we loved in our small apartment, but really didn't have a place in our home. In it's place is now a framed white board that is also magnetic. I think we'll use this board a lot in the future and it gives the wall a sense of purpose.
And for an added cuteness factor, here is a picture of Owen "helping" during the painting project. There was lot of gunk to get off the floor after we moved the furniture around. The Swiffer was Owen's best friend. He might be like is mama in that regard! Swiffer love!
Spring To Do List – DONE! May 18, 2013
On March 20th, the official 1st day of spring, I sat down with my laptop and made a list. It was a list of projects that I wanted to do around the house. The list included items like rearranging furniture, selling furniture, reorganizing closets, creating under the bed storage, etc. It was a pretty good list. I knew that I would have to get my hubby on board because I can't really move furniture or sell it without his help. I shared my list with him and he was gracious enough to join my quest.
The first project came in the form of reorganizing our closets. The back guestroom has really been my domain to store my stuff. While I have slowly purged over the years I still had craft supplies, wrapping supplies and all my photos in that closet. This lead to us The Container Store to find the right sized under the bed storage. It was very exciting to get that closet cleared! The first step! After that I went through our closets and consolidated a lot of our stuff. I also got rid of a ton of college homework that I've been storing, but haven't look at in many years. I kept all the important papers and most of my assignments are saved to my computer, so it felt good to finally lessen the paper load around here.
My hubby very kindly moved my bookshelf into our bedroom. He has also been helping me meet up with potential buyers on Craig's List to sell the furniture in our guestroom. Thursday night we sold the last of our items and now the space is completely cleared! I was super jazzed because our very wide computer desk sold. Now I'm able to get a slimmer desk that will accommodate more space in our office. I love creating space! The funny thing is that we're without a desk for about a week while we wait for the other to be shipped to us. When in need, card tables work great! Okay, not really, but it's keeping our stuff off the floor.
Which leads me to our final to-do list item! With all the furniture cleared out, I wanted to steam clean the floors before we put new furniture over those spots. Today was spent doing just that! Now the floors are cleaned and we're ready for the next phase. I told myself I wanted these "clearing" projects finished by the time we left for Hawaii next month. After Hawaii, we'll focus on refilling the areas that we cleared. I'm content with a job well done and completed. I know that making the back bedroom into a nursery will be lots of fun, but that is a summer project, so right now I'm happily going to enjoy the fact that my Spring To Do List was conquered! Hurray!
The Final Result! February 23, 2013
After a long week and a whole lot of saw dust, we're finished with the flooring project. Well, almost. Some small things will need to be done tomorrow, but for the most part it's finished. In fact right now I'm watching Toby try to jump up on our chair and a half. With the loss of traction, he doesn't always make it. Poor doggie. We've really turned his whole world upside down. Here are the pictures of the final results!
Adventures in Flooring February 21, 2013
It's been a busy week here at the Scott Household. On Sunday, we tore up all the carpet in our home. This revealed that the carpet and the vinyl flooring were two different levels. This gave us two options – buy more sub-flooring or try to remove the vinyl with the extra layer of sub-flooring. During Growth Group (which was hosted by my mother-in-law), my father-in-law came over to my house to survey the situation with Jeremy. They decided to buy more sub-flooring and raise the level of the floors to match our kitchen and entry way. Jeremy was anxious to get the project started so he started to lay the new sub-floor on Tuesday evening. This meant moving our dining table into the kitchen. Good thing we have a big kitchen, but I still don't think it was ever meant to be an eat-in kitchen. It's a little strange when I sit down at the table. The location is just a little off. Preparing food is also fun as we skirt around the table. It's a person at a time walking space, so you got to know the flow or you bump into people! Tonight, my father-in-law and brother-in-law will join Jeremy in adding the rest of the sub-floor. Furniture pieces will scatter all over my house so that they stay out of the way. The dog and I are going to take off for the evening and hang out with my parents. I would just be in the way and frankly, Toby would be as well. They'll have the door open as they bring in pieces of plywood and Toby is sure to escape if given the opportunity. I'll be less of a wreck if we just avoid the construction zone all together. Tomorrow will hopefully be the beginning of laying down the final layer of flooring! Saturday and Sunday will be reserved for finishing things up and putting everything back together. Monday afternoon I plan on deep cleaning since the boys should be done. Then I do believe I will let out a deep sigh of relief. It's been fun to see the different phases all unfold, but I'm really ready for that final reveal! I can't wait! More updates to come as things shape up around here! Exciting times!
Good Bye Carpet! February 17, 2013
Having a major sleepover wasn't enough to fill this President's Day weekend. Oh no! Jeremy and I thought we would tackle something else as well… pulling up all the carpet in our main living space! I will admit that I wasn't much help in the pulling up department, but I pulled my weight in cleaning up the wreckage. The carpet left a nice thick layer of dust EVERYWHERE as a parting gift, so I spent most of my afternoon/evening deep cleaning and trying to get the general feeling of grime out of my house. Currently, I'm wearing hard soled slippers around the house because the floor is a bit… rustic… I'm not really sure the best way to put it. Our new floors will be installed next weekend by my very handy family members. I think this week without flooring will make me even more grateful for the new floors to come. It's a little weird to be without carpet, but now that things are tidied up a bit, I don't mind it all that much. This part of the project was what I worried about most – the destruction – once Jeremy took that razor to the carpet there was no going back. Now that it's done I feel better and I'm ready for the next and final phase. We did hit a small speed bump, but I think it's solvable (with a little extra cash, of course). Originally I thought I was cool with having company over tomorrow, but mid-project I decided to take my mother-in-law up on her offer to host our Growth Group for this week. It probably would have been okay, but it's now one less thing to worry about. I did, however, make the decision to move the group after cleaning my bathrooms… Oh well. I guess I can't complain about clean bathrooms.
The sleepover is over – check! The flooring is pulled up – check! The house is clean – check! All materials are ready for Growth Group – check! Looks like I'm dominating this crazy big, crazy busy weekend! Oh yeah! It feels good! More updates to follow the adventures of Jeremy and Amy in Home Improvement Land – hopefully a happy ending to follow!
