It's a bumpy morning in FX on Thursday, April 14 as of 9:20 a.m. ET.
The biggest move comes from the Singapore dollar, which is weaker by 0.9% at 1.3625.
The move follows the Monetary Authority of Singapore's shocking decision to ease its currency policy.
"We see today's decision as the right policy move, given the weakening outlook for growth prospects in Singapore, albeit a lagged response," wrote Credit Suisse economist Michael Wan in a note to clients.
"The currency could weaken further and front-end interest rates could rise from here, but will be partly dependent on global risk sentiment."
As for the rest of the world, here's the scoreboard:
- The Japanese yen rallied by 0.3% to secession highs of 109.01. A powerful earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 6.4 hit southern Japan on Thursday. AP reports the earthquake caused some damange, but that there's no danger of a tsunami.
- The Australian dollar is stronger by 0.7% at .7708 after the jobs report crushed it. The Australian economy added 26,100 jobs in March, well above the 17,000 gain that economists were anticipating. However, while part-time jobs rose by 34,900, full-time jobs fell by 8,800. The unemployment rate unexpectedly slipped to 5.7%, on expectations of a rise to 5.9%.
- The British pound is weaker by 0.3% at 1.4165 after the Bank of England voted to keep its benchmark interest rate on hold at 0.50% for the 85th consecutive month. The BOE also voted to keep its asset purchase program at £375 billion.
- The euro is little changed at 1.1277 after the latest release from Eurostat showed eurozone Final CPI for March ticked up to 0.0% from the previous outlook of -0.1%. While its good news prices aren't falling, the reading is still far from the ECB's 2% target.
- The Korean won is weaker by 0.6% at 1,152.42 after Wednesday's election saw the governing Saenuri Party suffer a defeat. "Yesterday's parliamentary elections ... represent a major blow to the authority of President Park Guen-hye and further reduce the likelihood of the reforms needed to address the country's growing structural problems," wrote Capita Economics' Gareth Leather and Krystal Tan. "The results of the parliamentary election leave little room for optimism."
- The dollar index is stronger by 0.2% at 94.91 ahead of a few data points. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) and initial jobless claims both cross at 8:30 a.m. ET.

Sandra Rohrstaff presents award at 2011 Spong Tournament
Posted on Feb 20, 2011
Sandra Rohrstaff, Immediate Past President of the Virginia Trial Lawyers Association (VTLA) presented the awards for the Runner Up and Best Oralist at the conclusion of the 40th annual William B. Spong Moot Court Tournament in Williamsburg, Virginia.
Moot court competitions are tournaments in which teams from law schools present appellate arguments before panels of judges. In each round, the winning team advances to the next round -- kind of like a basketball tournament. Moot court competitions are held all around the country, and each tournament presents law students with a problem written just for the specific tournament that the competitors must brief and argue. This year's Spong Tournament problem concerned a fictional piece of federal legislation that would remove the cost-of-living adjustment for federal judges. The problem raised difficult Constitutional issues, including separation of powers.
Both federal and state judges and justices from all over the United States support the Spong Tournament by volunteering their time to judge and rate the fine students who compete in this tournament. VTLA is proud to have been a strong supporter and sponsor of the competition for many years. Many of VTLA's finest lawyers also volunteer their time to act as judges for the competition.
The Best Oralist Award is given to the comeptitor who is rated by the judges to have had the best oral presentation throughout the comeptition. This year's Best Oralist was Mark Kogan from American University's Washington College of Law, and the runner up was Jonathan Young from Regent University School of Law. Congratulations to them, and to all the competitors.

The band i chose to do a poster design for is the Hamburg, Germany based band Sailor´s Fist (http://www.myspace.com/sailorsfist). Knowing one of their members, things might get serious in the end and hopefully the poster will be out there for their our this summer. As they´re playing Heavy Experimental Rock I decided to do a design that´s powerful, dark and yet reflecting the band´s origin and name.
Although I am pretty sure about the content, I haven´t yet decided wether I should go for a more sketchy and rough style or a more detailed and intrecate style instead.
I´m looking forward to be part of this class and I hope fore a good outcome for everyone.

The brainchild of guitarist Brad Laner, Los Angeles trio Medicine play a melodic, rhythmic style of noise rock that has been tagged as dream pop. Laner began performing in his early teens in such local bands as Vox Pop and Nervous Gender after developing a taste for such avant-garde rock performers as Captain Beefheart, Throbbing Gristle, Yoko Ono, and the Residents. Over the years, Laner played on more than 300 albums, the most famous of which belonged to industrial rock outfit Savage Republic, for whom he served as the drummer. Medicine were formed in 1991 with drummer Jim Goodall; their early lineup included guitarist Jim Putnam, bassist Eddie Ruscha, and singer Annette Zalinskas, an original member of the Bangles. Putnam, Ruscha, and Zalinskas eventually left; the latter was replaced by former Fourwaycross singer Beth Thompson.
The band's debut, Shot Forth Self Living, was released in the U.K. several months after the band formed; it was picked up in America by Rick Rubin's American label, which signed Medicine in 1992. An EP, 5ive, was released in 1993, followed a year later by the band's second full-length album, The Buried Life, featuring more collaborations within the group. Laner, Goodall, and Thompson made one more record together, the slickly poppy Her Highness, before splitting in 1995 and moving on to different projects, most notably Laner's experimental solo project Electric Company.
In 2003, Laner recruited vocalist Shannon Lee (Bruce Lee's daughter) and formed a new version of Medicine. Pursuing a more electronic sound, the duo made one album for Astralwerks, The Mechanical Forces of Love, before splitting. The band's reputation grew as the shoegaze style became more and more popular in the 2000s, with many bands adopting aspects of Medicine's sound. Influential U.S. label Captured Tracks capitalized on the band's rep and released deluxe reissues of Shot Forth Self Living and The Buried Life in early 2012. Inspired by the release of their best work, the trio of Laner, Thompson, and Goodall buried any lingering bad feelings and set about recording a new album. The shockingly good To the Happy Few was released by Captured Tracks in the summer of 2013. Forsaking touring, Medicine set to work right away on their next album. Home Everywhere was released in early autumn of 2014. 2.0 Extraneous, a collection of B-sides and unreleased material from Medicine's 2003 incarnation, appeared in 2017. ~ Steve Huey

What is the CADR Rating?
CADR Rating Explained
CADR, the Clean Air Delivery Rate is a metric that was developed as a way of measuring the performance of residential air purifiers. The CADR rating reflects the volume of air in CFM (cubic feet per minute) that is cleaned of particles of certain sizes.
To measure the effectiveness in removing different particle sizes, three types of particles are tested: smoke, pollen and dust. These represent small, medium and large sized particles. Each is measured and assigned it's own CADR score.
Benefits of CADR
The advantage of the CADR rating is that it gives the consumer a way to compare air purifiers that consider both air flow and filter efficiency.
The CADR is basically a reflection of the air flow (CFM) times the efficiency of the air filter. So, if an air filter has 200 cfm and 100% efficiency the CADR would be 200. If the air filter has 200 cfm and 75% efficiency the CADR would be 150.
The CADR is a good way to keep from being misled in marketing messages.
For example, if a filter has a very high filter efficiency but low air flow the CADR helps to balance the two.
We see this commonly from some manufacturers that use particle counters to show the high efficiency of their air purifiers when selling to customers. This method can be very compelling as the shopper sees how well the particles are removed. While this test is valid it does not factor in other important data points such as the air flow and noise level. Therefore it does not give you a complete picture for how well the air purifier will work in their environment.
Air Filtering Standard
The CADR is the standard in the US and in 2016 China has adopted a version of the CADR to measure air purifier performance for Chinese consumers.
While we like the CADR, in our opinion there are additional factors that should be considered when comparing air purifiers. To better understand why it helps to know how this test is performed.
How CADR is Tested
- The CADR is measured with the air purifier run on the highest fan speed. If you will not be running the air purifier on a lower fan speed then the CADR that you will realize will be lower.
- The CADR is tested with a new, clean filter so it does not reflect the performance of the air purifier over time. A small, thin filter may test well in the CADR test but soon after show a large drop in performance. To better understand this our suggestion is to find out how much filter media is in the filters. In addition the size of the air filters will factor into the expected performance over time. A large filter with a lot of filter media will perform much better than a smaller, thinner filter. You may want to watch out if the manufacturer does not provide this information.
- The CADR rating does not factor in noise level.
- The CADR is not a safety test so it does not measure ozone production, motor reliability or energy usage.
The CADR rating is a good starting point in comparing air purifiers.
However, to make an informed choice we feel more information is needed.
Here is a short list of the areas we recommend you consider when buying an air purifier:
- CADR Rating
- Filters: efficiency, size and amount of filter media
- Noise level
- Motor quality
- Safety – no ozone and uses no technology that could introduce contaminants
The CADR is managed by AHAM (Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers) and Oransi is an AHAM member.

Steampunk and Etsy - Lighting my Life!
What happens when you combine my addiction to random Google searches, my need for vodka/soda, and my love of Etsy? Yep, another post about lighting. Rest assured, however, that this one is a good one because it not only supports the local economy (instead of those Big Box monsters) but you'll also learn a little something about Steampunk. If you're like me, until tonight you'd probably never heard of Steampunk or if you had, figured it was something your teenage son listens to when he is avoiding doing his calculus homework. Turns out it is a decorative style. Like Victorian. Or Craftsman. Or Dorm Room Grunge. As it would turn out, I kinda like the idea. Totally industrial. A little chic. Handmade. Waaay adaptable to lighting design. Even better, highly available on Etsy (third in addict status to Twitter - the reigning champion, and Pinterest).
The Spider Light - A Steampunk Light Fixture
You know how sometimes you'll click on those random "We thought you might like this" kinda searches? Normally they don't really help me at all and the only thing I learn is that search generators really don't know me as well as they thought they did. BUT, in an effort to determine just what the hell Steampunk really is (I still don't know) I ran across this little beaut. It's like spiders on your ceiling but the ones you actually want to be there. And with those white sockets and Edison filament lamps I'm totally swooning (and wanting one with just a few more arms since you know, spiders have eight legs).
$300 via Clarksallpurpose, Available in custom configurations
So I'm not one of those crazy interior designers who gives up on function just to get something pretty. Oh who am I kidding. I'm a designer by trade, of course I have! So anyway, I'm thinking this fixture is like a little bit of good Karma meant to cover up/obscure/deny all of those little "But it's so pretty...." moments. Look, it's got a switch ON THE FRONT (instead of those horrible in-line things I can never find when it's dark). But even better? Two outlets. That's right kids... plug your iPhone right into the front of this baby and charge her up. Yeah... you know you need it now just 'cause I called it an iPhone accessory.
$50.00 via BenclifDesigns
*UPDATE* After this post hit the web, Benclif Designs sold this particular version. However, check around his Etsy store as he's got more like it!
No you haven't been drinking. Ok wait. It's Sunday night here in San Diego so you might actually have been drinking. Let me preface by saying I'm not much of a beer drinker. In fact, the only beer I can really stomach is rootbeer (with a shot of vodka for good measure). So it may come as a surprise to you that I'm totally smitten with this fixture. Beer Bottles. Big crazy pipe fittings. This is a serious fixture for a serious drinker with eco sensibilities. Or for me. One and the same I say. Bottoms up!
$155.00 via ZalCreations
Sconce Bookshelf with Accent Lighting
I'm going two for two on functionality tonight. This is just not normal for me. So think of it this way... back in the college days if you were a girl, light fixtures served all kinds of purposes. They did double duty as jewelery holders, hanging racks, bra-dryers. But us guys, well let's just say that a light fixture was just that (and you ladies wonder why we're soooo not creative). So guys, you thought the beer bottle sconce above was for you but SURPRISE this one's for you too. Store your books (not the Penthouse, have some class) and get in a little light as well.

8 months is 2/3 of a year!
Becoming more like a toddler and less like a baby with each passing day.....
Becoming more like a toddler and less like a baby with each passing day.....
This month our littlest fellow has been quite the busy body! ... AND is oh so brave! We're pulling up on everything, and he must have gained a little height because things he couldn't get to last month are now officially no big deal.
He's fearless too. I remember when Leeland first starting pulling up on things, he wouldn't dare wiggle... Joel on the other hand, pulls up, wiggles around, does some dancing and even will let go and hold on with one hand. AND the furniture walking has just begun. Especially if he's trying to reach something that his big brothers are trying to keep from him. Still a faster crawler, but if he really wants something up high, he takes a few steps.
He climbs the stairs now. The kiddo figured it out... all
downhill, I mean, downstairs from there.
We're still nursing, even though in the recent weeks he often acts as if he's just too busy to eat. And we're still doing purees with him once a day. I've tried to introduce some bite size solids, but for now he isn't quite interested in chewing.... It's just too much, and he's just too busy.
He's still waking in the night 2-3 times. I think mostly due to his wiggle worm status. Once he wakes, he just wants to sit up and/or crawl all over the bed so then he's really awake!
No measurements this month, but still holding strong in the 18 month clothes he was wearing last month. Maybe we've finally hit a plateau! Or maybe he's busy burning calories exploring the entire house these days.
Kiddo really is such a happy baby, and is loved and adored by all, but he especially enjoys the love and attention he gets from his big brothers. Happy 8 months Joel!

Located in central Idaho, just south of the Seven Devils mountain range, the Seven Devils Lodge lies in a unique area, with neighboring jutting canyons, high desert and soaring mountains. The Seven Devils range runs between the Salmon River and Hells Canyon. The Lodge is nine miles, as the crow flies, from the deepest canyon in North America, Hells Canyon. Seven Devils Lodge is one of the few guest ranches in the state which operates on an actual working cattle ranch, the historic OX Ranch. Unique enough to be the subject of the popular book, A Wild Cowboy, the OX Ranch is rich in history and western culture.
Our Idaho guest ranch operation works year round providing some of the best outdoor adventures available. Seven Devils Guest Ranch operates from May through August, specializing in the true western experience. Summer features time spent with horses (watch video reviews here), tuning up shooting skills on the gun ranges (sporting clays, pistol range and archery), fishing, hiking and relaxing on our newly remodeled deck.

Having been called by God to this place, I do hereby commit myself to this church, to live according to the clear teaching of the Bible, and to the furtherance of God's kingdom. As a pledge of that commitment I do sign this covenant, joining myself to the body of believers known as Faith Bible Church, and do promise to live according to its precepts so long as I do remain.
We will work and pray for the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
We will walk together in brotherly love, as becomes the members of a Christian church,
exercise an affectionate care and watchfulness over each other and faithfully admonish and
entreat one another as occasion may require.
We will not forsake the assembling of ourselves together, nor neglect to pray for ourselves
and others.
We will endeavor to bring up such as may at any time be under our care, in the nurture and
admonition of the Lord, and by a pure and loving example to seek the salvation of our family
and friends.
We will rejoice at each other's happiness and endeavor with tenderness and sympathy to bear
each other's burdens and sorrows.
We will seek, by divine aid, to live carefully in the world, denying ungodliness and worldly
lusts, remembering that we have been buried with Christ in baptism and raised to walk in the
newness of life.
We will work together for the continuance of a faithful evangelical ministry in this church, as
we sustain its worship, ordinances, discipline, and doctrines. We will contribute cheerfully
and regularly to the support of the ministry, the expenses of the church, the relief of the poor,
and the spread of the gospel to all nations.
We will, when we move from this place, as soon as possible, unite with some other church
where we can carry out the spirit of this covenant and the principles of God's word.
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy

Made a short for Filmstro and Filmconvert's one minute contests!
Telling a story in one minute is a fun challenge. Can't wait to see y'alls submissions!
I like it.
It gave me enough information so I knew what was happening but was still as confused as the main character.
Well done!
Thank you two!

What is Arak?
Colorless, anise-flavored (black licorice) alcoholic Aperitif, traditionally imbibed in Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Palestine, Israel, Turkey and Iran. Commonly used in social settings and usually accompanied by mezze (small appetizers that offset the alcohol's potency).
Arak is typically made from grapes grown in Mediterranean climates. After Arak grapevines mature to a golden color (late September-October), they are harvested and stored in barrels for 3 weeks to ferment. Distillation follows and varying amounts of aniseed is added to give the spirit its unique flavor. Different types of stills - stainless steel, copper, pot stills and column stills - also help create the final taste of Arak, though an authentic copper still with a Moorish shape is believed to be the best. High-quality brands of Arak may also age the finished spirit in clay amphoras to allow for evaporation of water, thus yielding the purest form of the Aperitif for consumption. Typical Arak usually ranges 30%-60% alcohol by volume.
Why "the milk of the lions"?
Emulsification of the anise oils turns the clear spirit into a milky-white color when mixed with water. We suggest a ratio of 1/3 Arak to 2/3 water.

Old Window Welcome Sign
Meet Jessica one of our latest zesty peeps!! With a background in graphic design, she busted out this easy and fun welcome sign….just think of all the possibilities! Wedding signs, calendars, love notes- you name it!
I am totally into the whole chalkboard sign trend as of late. I love creating boards for myself and for friends. For a project, I wanted to take that same concept, but change up the medium a bit. So I thought, instead of art on chalkboard, let's experiment with art on glass. It is a whole lot easier to make because all you need to find is a window or picture frame you like, instead of finding a chalkboard or creating your own. I'm obsessed with wall decor to the point that there is literally no empty space on my bedroom walls. They are just covered in posters, pictures, and things I've made. That being said, I thought it would be fitting to make my first DIY post about wall decor! This project is so simple and versatile for any need.
– Burlap Material (Or any fabric you want as your backdrop)
Simply lay your window out on top of the burlap to get an idea of how much you need for the back. Don't worry about getting an exact measurement, just make sure you have cut more than you need as you can trim the excess later. Cut out around the frame and then staple this to the back of the window frame. Then go around and trim the extra material off to clean up the edges.
Flip the window over and go ahead and write out whatever message you wish to have on your window. I wanted this window to be placed right outside my front door to welcome my guests in the home. Window paint pens are so easy to work with and forgiving. If you mess up, just wet a towel and wipe off the mistake.
The great this about this project is the amount of freedom you have with the wording and purpose of your frame!

The SNP – a gentle, sensitive bunch, perpetually saddened by the opportunism and hypocrisy characteristic of all political parties but their own – have accused George Osborne of "bullying" on the grounds that he won't let them force the UK into a currency union if Scotland votes to become a separate country.
This morning I listened to the speech the Chancellor gave in Edinburgh on the subject. It didn't sound like bullying to me. If he'd wanted to be bullying, he could have said a lot worse.
Yes, he accused the SNP of "reckless threats", and described their plans as "patently absurd". And yes, he suggested that after independence the average Scottish mortgage payment could rise by £1,700 a year (or the equivalent of £1,700 in whatever exciting new currency Mr Salmond could cobble together).
But there were things he didn't say. He didn't, for example, say that independence was the last thing the SNP really wanted. True independence, after all, would mean actually being independent. What the SNP really wanted was a nominal, sentimental kind of independence, one that consisted largely of crowing about freedom from their stuck-up neighbours, without having to do anything so scary or difficult as living without their stuck-up neighbours' currency.
Those would have been a negative thing to say. Bullying, even. But Mr Osborne didn't say it. He was much too polite for that.
In delivery at least, this was a different George Osborne from the one we see facing Ed Balls in the Commons. That Osborne scoffs and sniggers. This one didn't. This Osborne had decided to deliver his speech in calm, even concerned-sounding tones.
Mr Salmond, he noted, had threatened not to pay Scotland's share of the national debt if he didn't get his way on the pound. "That's like saying, 'Because my neighbour won't agree to my unreasonable demands, I'm going to burn my house down in protest.'"
Normally Mr Osborne would recite such a punchline with gleeful disdain. But he didn't. Instead he recited it with a mixture of disappointment and frustration, as if Mr Salmond were an old friend who'd gone off the rails and was rejecting all offers of help.
A journalist asked Mr Osborne whether he was "holding a gun" to Scotland's head. Not at all, he protested: he just wanted to let people know "what the facts are".
At one point, Mr Osborne said the SNP were behaving like the angry party in a divorce. Actually the argument feels not so much like wife vs husband as like teenager vs parent. The SNP is taking the position of teenager ("If you don't give me every single thing I want, it's like TOTALLY UNFAIR"). Mr Osborne, meanwhile, is taking the position of parent ("You'll do as you're told, or face the consequences. Look, I'm only saying it for your own good").
Ultimately, of course, teenagers end up leaving home. At least, they used to. These days, many find it harder than they'd imagined.
