The dentist does not charge the same amount if you find one that I high you can bargain the price with him or her. The amount of money to be paid depends on the dental service you need.

Our new hotel in Gangnam-gu is definitely nicer than our previous spot, and we're making it "home base" - as in, we can leave our big luggage here while we travel elsewhere, and then come back. We can have our meds sent here via FedEx. We're good to go, and don't need another address in Seoul. (And we seem to have marble walls. When did you ever have marble WALLS in a hotel??? How cool is that???)
And of course we have the ever-present spa bath in the room. Seems to be a basic Korean hotel item. Of course, then I wonder if many Korean homes have whirlpool tubs, similar to the Japanese very hot bath. Is this a basic household item? I don't know. It definitely is something to enjoy in a hotel room, though!
Thus far, our hotel rooms have also included a computer or two. Not just wifi, but a computer in the room. We have our own laptops, of course - but it's kind of cool that the room comes with a computer, even if we don't use it.
Last interesting and enjoyable thing that seems to be unique to South Korea - the mini-bar in the hotel fridge is free. FREE! We get water, which is normal in this part of the world. But the juice, or iced tea or coffee, or whatever, is free! And if we want more, we just call the front desk and they'll deliver! Wow! (Of course, alcoholic drinks are available for a charge. Beer seems popular. But free juice and tea and coffee - wonderful!)
So - summertime in South Korea is as wet as summer in San Francisco, or Seattle, or pretty much the entire Pacific NW area. Today has been alternating rain and sun. At least it's warm rain.
The hummingbirds on the manhole covers seem perfect for summer, even if we don't see any of them. Same with the butterflies. (What company puts butterflies and hummingbirds on their manhole covers? I love it!)
So Gangnam-gu is more in the center part of the city, with all the usual urban stuff going on - coffee shops everywhere (which we need after getting soaking wet when we go out walking). The major bus terminal is just a few blocks away. There are all kinds of hotels, a hostel or two, lovely cafés and restaurants in a variety of price ranges - all the things we need for a nice stay.
And there are little hidden "open spaces" that house public art - all kinds of abstract sculptures in front of buildings, or under an overpass, or in some alcove. Sudden little bursts of art. There probably are signs with the title and artist, but of course everything is in Korean and we can't read a word of it. But I like the urban feel of the abstract metal, and each time we make up a new story or meaning about the sculpture. There are also occasional spots to sit and view the pieces, either benches, or little gazebos, or something like that. And we often find a new sculpture we hadn't notice before, just little new surprises popping up around the neighbourhood. So, well, we just are enjoying the art.
We haven't found any parks around here yet - but there's a café with a wonderful garden out front. "Madame Butterfly" - isn't that a great name for a florist/coffee spot? With carrot cake, of course. Just one more lovely little place to hang out, especially on a rainy afternoon. And with one of the best doors I've seen in a long time!
I also liked these tea and coffee containers in the little market nearby. I do like milk tea - basically, British style tea with sugar and milk. In Asia, it's served either cold or hot, and iced milk tea is surprisingly tasty. (I'm less likely to try a toffee nut cafe latte.) But I love the containers - Royal Milk tea adorned with a beautiful maiden from maybe 17th or 18th century England. And of course the cafe latte drink features a dark and dreamy Italian Renaissance beauty. As I said, random acts of art.
Also random acts of serendipity. Does anyone else believe it was coincidental that the fruit truck parked right by the Apple Room? (We haven't checked out the Apple Room yet, so I'm not sure what it is.)
Of course, we've also found classic Asian sculpture, such as the lion. Perfect for a hat photo, right? (There was a mature couple who were quite nonplussed while watching me take the photo. They didn't laugh, just watched every move, every shot. With interest. Ah, those crazy Americans.)
So, when the rain stops we'll explore more of our neighbourhood. Take the train to the zoo, which looks like a wonderful spot to hang out. Maybe walk around Seoul Forest. Visit the palaces, which date back to the 1400s or so. Of course, if the rain keeps up there are all the museums to visit, but it seems as if some of the most beautiful spots around Seoul are outdoors. There's also a hidden brook in the northern part of the city, set between two walkways and lower than the city level - sort of a small Zen-like hidden spot in the midst of the city.
And shopping - Seoul seems to be a great spot for shopping. I've been good, and only bought a new backpack - a bit bigger than my previous one, and better for those week-long side trips without the rolling luggage. Pack came with a great label:
"We want to be with you every time you're ready to run. At the moment your dreams come true. Whenever you travel to strange places. When you're at the beginning of adventures. We want to be with you for all the time to come, like your old friends."I've never had such poetic luggage before!
Anyway, we'll spend some more time in the city before we head out, so we'll keep you posted! And if I'm lucky, I'll find a spot where I can create some art, too!

A (Wanderer) Journal
To be frankly, I feel I just travel and stay in another part of Indonesia, with better public transportation systems. Facing no any problems with the foods, weather, culture, or language, I somehow still amazed how the river of life has brought me here, since Malaysia has never been on my list as the place I would live. Being literally alone in a country where nobody picked me up in the airport, and a new workplace without someone I knew long, it is true that I found myself feel lonely sometimes. And for some people who know me, my decision to fly to Malaysia would be a quite shocking news. I know. It's just, we can't always get what we want the most; then to simply let it go could be much better choice instead of resist and fight hard. I've done both the latter, and they cost me pretty emotional and physical disasters. That's when I decided to accept as it is, ikhlaas, and let go that stuff and decided to let in the other opportunities for there are always plenty of them. Of several options, I've decided to give myself a try in Malaysia. And I don't regret the decision though. Not even once. In fact, I found my current state here is amazing. My new-first jobs is great, people are undoubtedly friendly, and more importantly, I'm happy with the choice and the changes I've made.
Talk about traveling, not a lot of places I've visited here and gotta displayed some of which I've done so far.
A bit of sightseeing around Kuala Lumpur City Center (KLCC)
The once-world-tallest-building Petronas Twin Towers
The most famous satay in Malaysia: Satay Kajang Haji Samuri
Need local souvenirs to bring back home? Then just grab them here at Pasar Seni (Central Market)
The historical site of Railway Administration Building
The famous Pusat Islam Malaysia
Batu Caves, the most popular Hindu shrines lie above inside the caves. See the steep flight? I've climbed up those 272 steps.

When Star Wars Ruled The World – 'Jurassic World' Bows Down to 'The Force Awakens' For Biggest Box Office Opening Ever
When it was announced that Jurassic World achieved the biggest box office opening of all time, nerds everywhere were like "Yeah, just wait until Star Wars Episode VII comes around". And, well, wouldn't you know… that's exactly what happened. Jurassic World's moment in the sun has ended – the new king of the Box Office prevails! Star Wars: The Force Awakens annihilated the box office rankings and knocked Jurassic World off its pedestal. But there's no hard feelings. Jurassic World laid down their fiddle cause they knew they'd been beat (little obscure Charlie Daniels reference there).
As acknowledgement, Jurassic World producer Frank Marshall tweeted the image below of a Tyrannosaurus rex bestowing a medal on BB-8, along with the message "Universal Pictures, Steven, Frank and Colin congratulate Star Wars: The Force Awakens on the biggest opening weekend in galactic history."
Cheers to J.J., Kathy, the cast and crew, and DIS/LFL marketing teams! #TheForceAwakens @Disney @StarWars @Bad_Robot pic.twitter.com/oa0zwuAb2Q
— Frank Marshall (@LeDoctor) December 21, 2015
OK, BB-8 is cute and everything but the folks behind this acknowledgment should have gone with Chewbacca – that furry bastard never got a medal.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens earned $238 million in the U.S., compared to Jurassic World's $208.8 million, plus another $279 million internationally for a $517 million worldwide total. And that's yet factoring in China's numbers, where it won't premier for them until January.
So there you go, "biggest box office opening of all time", was there really any doubt?
Now, unto slapping Avatars $2.7 global run off the map. Star Wars has got a while to go before that happens, but it'll likely happen. If and when it does, wonder if James Cameron will send a fruit basket.

Refueled X MADE "Explore America"Share
MADE has teamed up with Refueled publisher/creative director Chris Brown for their first ever guest-curated collection, "Explore America".
The MADE collection will run online from September 26th through October 10th, and features amazing goods from such people like Alabama Chanin, Strawfoot Handmade, Iron & Resin, Otis James, Ruell & Ray, 2ETN, Cobra Rock Boot Co., Corter, Fancy Pony Land & Marfa Brand.
Brown sat down with MADE partner/chief creative officer Dave Schiff to get the low down.
Why "MADE in the U.S.A."?
Because it creates jobs. Because it provides swift kick in the ass to the us economy. Because it supports humane working conditions, ensures epa regulations are followed, and minimizes carbon footprint. All that, and you end up with the absolute finest product on the planet. That's why.
How is the MADE COLLECTION site different from other flash-sale sites?
Made collection is the first ever flash sale site that only sells us-made products. But there are other big differences, too. Rather than making backroom handshakes and then putting a bunch of overstock on the site, we comb America for the coolest stuff out there, and partner with the people who make it. It's not like they are "vendors," and we're "the retailer." We're two organizations who give a shit, with our shoulder to the same plow. And of course, there are "boom points." When you browse products on our site, you'll see that each product is accompanied by a map of where it's made, the number of employees who work at the factory, and "boom points," which are a representation of how much good purchase of the product would do for the us economy, based on a legit statistic called "the multiplier effect." Boom points are both a game layer and a loyalty program, and as shoppers accrue them they can be redeemed for early access to new collections, free shipping, or a percentage off - all kinds of exclusive deals and offers. No other site has anything like it.
Take us through the process of advertising exec to MADE.
Imagine you spend your entire career convincing people to buy stuff, and then one day you come across a single statistic: If Americans bought just 1 percent more stuff made in America, it would create 200,000 jobs. It's a pretty big holy shit moment. Because you realize, I can apply my skill set and win some awards, or I can apply my skill set and maybe some guy somewhere has a job, and can help support a family. And that's pretty much how we got here.
How much of what you wear personally is MADE in the U.S.?
I'd say about 75 percent. Some categories are harder than others. Like in footwear, there are tons of cool boots and shoes out there, allen edmonds, red wings, etc. But when it comes to sneakers, new balance is about all that's out there. We have a few people who rock those, but not everyone can pull off that whole nerd chic thing. John and I are vans guys, and scott loves adidas. So we aren't perfect, but this isn't about every single thing you touch or wear being made in U.S.A. It's about having a choice, and realizing all the good things that happen when you choose american.

In 2004 the State of Hawaii's unemployment rate was 3.3 percent, giving it the lowest unemployent rate in the United States. After Hawaii, the lowest unemployment rates were held by North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont, Virginia, Nebraska, New Hampshire, and Wyoming. The average unemployment rate in the U.S. in 2004 was 5.5%. In August of 2005 Hawaii's unemployment rate dropped to 2.6%, but wages in Hawaii still lag behind those on the mainland and housing costs are high.

Repair your Computers and Mobile Devices
Did you leave your new iPhone out in the rain, or drop your Android in your coffee? Want to repair it? It may still be ok with a little work. We have a process that seems to work quite well for water damaged devices. One iPhone was left outside in the rain all day, of course when the mistake was discovered, the phone was not responsive. After some careful repairs, new battery and a screen replacement we were able to get this iPhone back to perfect working order, absolutely no problems with it reported. It has been over a year now and it is still in perfect working order with daily use. Sometimes your laptop may experience a similar incident, just remember it's not dead until WE say it's dead! Even if
the motherboard is completely fried, we can still replace the main board or repair any broken connections. Even with extensive water damage it is still very likely that your hard drive data can be recovered. You never know until we give it a shot. We may not be the absolute best in the industry, we are not the cheapest, we don't know everything, but I do promise you this "We are capable, educated, professional, persistent, discrete, honest and reliable. If we haven't done it, we will learn it and do it!" We do not give up, until the only available options are ridiculous.
Call My Geek USA for all you computer repairs. We Specialize in hardware repairs, screen replacement and of course VIRUS REMOVAL. If you can break it, we can fix it!
Are you looking that guy you can call when you have question about something? We are that guy! If you have questions about how to fix your computer, laptop not working right, Phone in need of repair, desktop need upgrading, screen flickering, virus attacked you? We are that guy, we can answer just about any question you may have about your electronic device. (Not to mention much much more but we will stay focused here)
Computer repair is our world, it is our hobby, and it is that thing we do when we are bored. I can recall countless evenings with nothing to do, and somehow would find myself, taking apart old computers and building a Frankenstein out of them, or deciding to see if that motherboard from last year really is dead, checking solder circuits, looking for visible damage with a high powered magnifying glass, or even just seeing if I can perfect my Plastic welding skills. Heck right now I am bored and typing this post in hopes this post among the many others will keep folks like you calling to keep me busy.

The fifteen films that influenced Metal Gear Solid
Video retail giant Tsutaya, the Japanese equivalent of Blockbuster, has launched a campaign today in celebration of Metal Gear Solid 4 featuring series-creator and film-lover Hideo Kojima's picks for the movies that most influenced his award-winning series:
These mostly classic movies(listed below) might disappoint those hoping for more obscure choices, but all fans of the series will be interested to learn how these decidedly Western-flicks influenced even the smallest of details. On Tsutaya's campaign-specific website, Kojima offers some insight into how the films shaped the world of the games, citing Sean Connery's portrayal of 007 as the genesis of all things Metal Gear;;Black Hawk Down as a reference for the lighting, color and atmosphere; Predator as the inspiration for octocamo; 2001: A Space Odyssey as the source of Snake (David) and Otacon's (Hal) real names; and The Deer Hunter as the origin of Snake's trademark bandanna. Add Escape From New York to the list and you have yourself the ultimate Metal Gear movie marathon.
- The Guns of Navarone
- The Great Escape
- Goldfinger
- 2001: A Space Odyssey
- Planet of the Apes
- The Deer Hunter
- Dawn of the Dead
- Full Metal Jacket
- Predator
- Die Hard
- Heat
- Black Hawk Down
- Children of Men
- The Bourne series

It is commonly believed that estate planning and all the related documents it requires are things that only very wealthy retirees need. This is not true. As a recent article in Forbes points out, we all need an estate plan, regardless of our net worth or age.
What estate planning and end-of-life documents do I need?
Man seek's spousal share of same-sex partner's estate
When the U.S. Supreme Court declined to issue a ruling on "Proposition 8" earlier this summer, that decision effectively reinstated the right for same-sex couples to marry in California. Because gay marriage is relatively new, people in same-sex relationships sometimes fail to attend to marriage-related business, including estate planning.

The To Do List
The 10 things I should do in PNG before I leave:
1. Climb Mt Wilhelm from the Western Highlands side
2. Go up the Sepik river
3. Hike the Kokoda Trail
4. Visit the Trobriand islands
5. Learn to Scuba Dive
6. Stay in a remote village
7. Go to Teptep and climb 4000m unnamed peak
8. Cross border to West Papua
9. Whitewater raft down the Snake river
10. Land on a steep runway
Obviously I am not going to do all of those. But it is good to have an aim. One of the things I am thinking of doing is a trip to West Papua when I finish up. So I might be able to fit in numbers 2 and 8 in the one go.
I am seriously thinking of doing the Teptep trip this coming Easter. MAF fly there, they are same mob I used to when me and mum tried to get to the village in the Eastern Highlands. Logistics of when they fly is the problem. Every Tuesday from Nadzab. So it may be possible to fly up on the 22nd of March and back on the 29th, though I am not sure if Easter will disrupt there flying schedules or not. The other problem is getting someone to go with. Might see if Knox wants to go up there - unfortunately I doubt that he will have the cash to do so.
Also as I have noted before, MAF have a habit of forgetting your bookings if you make any. May as well give it a shot though?
All the trips are on the adventurous side, but hey you only live once.

For teachers in the lower grades, this is a popular dilemma . In Kindergarten, formal guided reading usually doesn't begin until around January. (That shouldn't be a hard fast rule, though. Some young learners will be ready sooner, and if they are..START!) Taking time to front-load important strategies will make the guided reading lessons more meaningful!
According to author Joan Aldrich Knight, these are the 3 earliest strategies before formal guided reading…
Teach students how print works- left to right and top to bottom. During your read aloud model with your finger. When singing familiar songs, write out the lyrics and follow the print with your finger or a pointer.
Voice Pointing/Tracking
Students need practice with pointing under each word and there are plenty of fun ways to do it. You can give them fun things to point with like chopsticks, popsicle sticks with eyeballs, fuzzy balls, or gems glued to the tip, or those witch fingernails that come out around Halloween. You can also make lily pads and use a frog to move from pad to pad. Be creative!
Sight Words
Emergent books are full of sight words. The more words students know, they more fluent they will be once they get started with guided reading.
Building a strong foundation will make your guided reading lessons a breeze!

Downside risks could surprise us
It's still a relatively risky world in which things could go wrong down the line. I am still of the view that most economic growth might surprise to the downside. It's not a problem today, but it's something to get concerned about [in the future]

Popping in to say hi!
I'm a newbie here but have loved handbags for years. First it was Coach, then I dabbled in other brands like Marc by Marc Jacobs, Treesje, Lockheart. Then I found Rebecca Minkoff and her designs are just right! So, I saw that there are other RM fans here so I had to join up.

ANC's top officials that were expected to attend events building up to the Nelson Mandela centenary launch in Cape Town have pulled out at the last moment due to "urgent matters" back in Gauteng.
EWN reporter Clement Manyathela says they were informed four hours after the programme was due to start that the events were cancelled.
ANC president Cyril Ramaphosa withdrew from the event programme on Thursday to continue his talks with President Jacob Zuma to persuade him to step down.
President Jacob Zuma also pulled out of this Saturday's Ubuntu Awards that he was supposed to officiate.
I suppose that's one indication that the ANC really wants to finalise talks with President Zuma this week.— Clement Manyathela, EWN reporter
The speculation is by Sunday we may have an idea or clarity around this issue. Many are hoping that when Cyril Ramaphosa addresses the big rally on Sunday he will use the opportunity to say to the nation and investors to say 'all will be well' and this is the decision we took regarding President Zuma'.— Clement Manyathela, EWN reporter
The story is moving too fast. The ANC is really trying to finalise talks before Sunday becasue how do you as the ANC president get on stage at the ANC's big rally and there's still no clarity around this issue and you don't offer any explanations between Ramaphosa and Zuma.— Clement Manyathela, EWN reporter

The recent peculiar trading in the New Ireland Fund
CEFs are not like open-ended mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs). A regular mutual fund has a manager who chooses which stocks to buy, like a CEF. But when new investors want to buy the fund, a mutual fund can go out and buy more stock with those funds, increasing its assets under management.
CEFs have a fixed amount of shares outstanding. Investors who want to own the fund have to buy existing shares from other investors who sell their shares. So a CEF trades on an exchange, just like other listed stocks. That means the price can move up or down very quickly, if more people want to buy than sell at a given moment.
That's where CEFs differ from ETFs. The latter mirror an index in the U.S. markets or a foreign index; they will always be priced to reflect that index. Individual investors can't drive them up or down with their own buying and selling.
CEFs have two important numbers: the share price where the CEF last traded, and the net asset value (NAV), the actual value of all the stocks and cash the fund holds. Speculative buying by investors can drive the share price higher than the NAV, creating a "premium" in the CEF. They can also drive the share price lower than the NAV with a lot of selling, creating a "discount."
Most CEFs trade at a small discount to their NAV, for many reasons. The New Ireland Fund is usually no exception; from January until November, it carried a 4%-11% discount to NAV, even while the share price moved up smartly from $23 to $33. The Irish stock market had a great year, and so did the New Ireland Fund.
The weird part came in late December, when average daily volume in the fund shot from 10,000-15,000 shares per day to 100,000 or more. The share price leapfrogged the NAV and traded at almost 10% more than the NAV price, a sharp premium.
Why? I can only guess that a mutual fund somewhere wanted to use the New Ireland Fund for "window dressing," a game where funds buy a successful stock right before the end of the quarter so they can show their investors that they own winning stocks. While the practice is less than honest, it is not illegal, and it happens all the time.
Once the quarter ended and trading began in early January, either other New Ireland Fund owners saw the premium and quickly sold for an easy profit, or the window-dressers quickly reversed their positions. Either way, the Foolish lesson is to be very wary when you see CEFs trading at a premium to their NAV. Chances are it won't last for long. When you're shopping for international CEFs, stick to the discount bin.

Amish Schoolgirl Hoped to Spare Others, By Mark Scolforo, Associated Press Writer
GEORGETOWN, Pa. Under a cold, steady drizzle, the Amish drove in horse and buggy to a farmland cemetery Friday to bury the fifth of five girls shot to death by an intruder as new details emerged of heroism inside their schoolhouse.
Two of the survivors of the shooting told their parents that 13-year-old Marian Fisher, one of the slain girls, asked to be shot first, apparently hoping the younger girls would be let go, according to Leroy Zook, an Amish dairy farmer.
(enlarge photo) A funeral procession of horse-drawn buggies makes their way down Georgetown Road in Georgetown, Pa. Friday, Oct. 6, 2006, to bury Anna Mae Stoltzfus, 12, one of five girls killed Monday, in a shooting at an Amish school. (AP Photo/Matt Rourke) "Shoot me and leave the other ones loose," Marian has been quoted as saying, Zook said. His daughter, Emma Mae Zook, was the teacher who ran from the schoolhouse to a farm to summon police.
Amish builder David Lapp said Marian's younger sister Barbie, who is recovering from gunshot wounds, provided one of the accounts.
"Her sister remembers it, Barbie," Lapp said.
Trooper Linette Quinn said investigators have not conducted any interview that confirms the story but also said the investigation is incomplete.
Parents of two of the surviving victims have also told Leroy Zook that the children questioned Roberts after the adults left.
"They just asked him why he's doing this. He said he's angry with God," Zook said.
On Friday, more than 40 buggies splashed along country roads behind a funeral-home car, two mounted state troopers and a carriage with the body of 12-year-old Anna Mae Stoltzfus in a hand-sawn wooden coffin.
Four other girls killed during Monday's shootings, two of them sisters, were laid to rest Thursday at the same hilltop graveyard.
All roads into Nickel Mines village were again blocked, and the funeral procession, like those Thursday, passed the home of Charles Carl Roberts IV, the 32-year-old milk truck driver who took the 10 girls, ages 6 to 13, hostage, tied them up and shot them before killing himself.
One of the surviving girls was reported to be in grave condition. The county coroner said he had been told she was being taken off life support, but her location was not known Friday. The four other girls remain hospitalized.
Funerals for Fisher, 13, Naomi Rose Ebersol, 7, and sisters Mary Liz Miller, 8, and Lena Miller, 7, were held Thursday.
New details also emerged Friday about the scene outside the schoolhouse.
Lapp, the builder, said he was told there was a gunman at the school and arrived before police, stopping a few hundred yards from the school.
"It was a feeling of helplessness," Lapp said.
He saw all the boys in the school escape through a side door, jump a fence and then huddle together in a meadow. Lapp watched police storm the building and heard the gunfire.
"We just started shaking. There were a couple of us by then," he said.
There were about 15 boys, ages 6 to 13, in the school.
"They're still in shock. ... They have this glazed look in their eyes," woodworker Daniel Esh, whose three grandnephews were in the school, said earlier this week. "They'll heal, but it will affect them their whole lives."
Just hours after the shootings, the teacher vowed to return to her students. Though just 20, Emma Mae Zook had taught at the school for three years.
"She said, 'Yeah, I need those children now. I need them more than I ever did,'" Leroy Zook said.
A former teacher at the school said the funerals have been cathartic. Rebecca Petersheim, 29, of Georgetown, attended three funerals over the last two days, one in a woodworking shop and the third in a home.
"I just feel upheld by the prayers of others," she said.
Despite their outward stoicism, the families of the slain girls and the children who survived the schoolhouse siege will endure the same deep grief as would anyone outside their insular, 19th-century world, experts said.
"(Outsiders) think these people don't embrace each other, they don't cry. That's not true," said Jonas Beiler, a counselor who was raised Amish and has visited with some of the victims' families this week.
Beiler, 59, and his wife, Anne, who founded the Auntie Anne's Inc. pretzel chain, lost an 18-month-old daughter to a farm accident years ago, a tragedy he says nearly destroyed them. They now use some of their fortune to fund a counseling center in nearby Paradise.
"You never get done wondering how things might have been had this not happened, especially when children are involved," Beiler said. "Years later, it's not deep grief. But it hangs there."
Richard J. Gelles, a childhood violence expert and a University of Pennsylvania dean, said the importance of forgiveness in Amish culture should help survivors heal.
"Nobody has to accept that behavior. But forgiveness is a whole lot easier than seeking revenge," he said.
Many Amish have embraced the gunman's wife, Marie Roberts, and their three young children.
Lloyd Welk, Marie Roberts' grandfather, waited outside for the last funeral procession as a steady rain tapered to a slight drizzle late Friday morning.
Welk said 16 members of the Roberts family, including Marie Roberts and her three children, had a meal together Thursday night. There was a special prayer beforehand for the victims, he said.
"I think she's holding up real good," Welk said. She expects to move back into her home and put her children back in school, he said.
Associated Press writer Maryclaire Dale contributed to this report from Philadelphia.

Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Martin have reportedly been together without a break for months.
Despite claims that they split suddenly October 2014, a source reveals that is not true. They've "been together the whole time." The couple were spotted having dinner together at Kiwami sushi in Studio City, CA December 30 and spent New Year's together at a party in Los Angeles.
A source reveals how the false break-up report leaked to E! News, "Neither of them wanted to be a public couple so quickly. So they told people they were broken up while they continued to build a relationship." They even developed a system of coming and going unnoticed: "Chris spends the night at her house when he's in L.A. and they have a system for him to come and go without anyone knowing."
Chris has, so far, avoided introducing girlfriend Jennifer and estranged wife Gwyneth Paltrow. Says the source, "Chris hasn't wanted them to meet yet… Gwyneth and Chris are co-parenting without Jen involved for now." Previously, sources claimed the reason for the "split" was that Jennifer got tired of Chris spending time with Gwyneth and the kids and leaving her out.
Asked recently by Howard Stern whether she approved of the relationship, Gwyneth insisted "Who says I don't approve of Jennifer Lawrence? I respect [Chris] as the father of my children." She added, "It's his decision…He wouldn't be with someone who isn't great."
Gwyneth explained the co-parenting arrangement: 'The idea is you try to do it with minimal acrimony and you say, 'Look, we have kids, we're always going to be a family and let's try to find all the positives in our relationship, all the things that brought us together, the friendship.'"
Gwyneth also says she and Chris are still friends, "We actually have a really strong friendship and we laugh and we have fun. But there are times when it's really difficult and things happen and you're like, 'I'm sure he doesn't want to hang out with me and I don't want to hang out with him.' But for the sake of the kids you do it. But you also don't do it all tense."

Sandii's Hawai'i (the 1st) was released in Japan in 1996. It was a
a remarkable commercial success, dominating Hawaiian music sales that year.
The decision was made to release it in the U.S. The cover photo was reversed
and it was released in Hawai'i by Neos Records.
This U.S. release is quite uncommon.
Many of the Guest Vocals are hard to find.
But "Live Capsule" was a real surprise!

Sandii says it really is her. Click the audio button

The original versions of any of Sandii's CM music are
usually hard to find. But this 7" CM release is
particularly interesting. It bears not only
Sandii's voice, but her handwriting. The bottom
right corner of the cover says in her handwriting
"Keep heating up our hearts!"
At the beginning of her musical career, Sandii won
the 11th Popular Song Contest in Japan. Her song was "Goodbye Morning."
Later that year, her "Goodbye Morning" also won the World Popular Song Festival.
The same song was then released as a single by her with a new studio recording.
There have been many compilations since then with Sandii singing "Goodbye Morning."
But none of the versions have ever returned the listener to Sandii's beginning.
Here is her original winning Popcon performance, live, from a rare LP of the event.
Please be patient. This page contains music mp3 files

A German court has ruled that a brewery cannot use the word "wholesome" to advertise beer. It found the term, used on three brews, violated EU laws on health claims.
The centuries-old Clemens Härle Brewery in the southern town of Leutkirch can no longer advertise its beer as "wholesome," a German regional court ruled on Thursday, saying that the term implied health-related benefits.
According to the Stuttgart court's decision, using the term "wholesome" to describe beer violates an EU law from 2006 - the so-called Health Claims Regulation - that prohibits any drink with an alcohol volume content above 1.2 percent from claiming any health benefits.
The brewery had argued the term "wholesome" reflected the taste and quality of the beer, not any specific health claims. The German word "bekömmlich" used to advertise the beer can mean "wholesome," "digestible" or "beneficial," depending on context.
The case dates back to 2015, when the Berlin-based VSW, a private organization that deals with unfair business practices, challenged the brewery's use of the word. It argued the brewery violated EU regulations by advertising alcohol as healthy.
A lower court in nearby Ravensburg had already ruled against the word "wholesome" but the brewery decided to challenge that verdict. The brewery may try to challenge the ruling in a higher court.
In a similar ruling in 2012, the European Court of Justice found that a wine-making cooperative in Germany could not use "wholesome" to describe its wine.
The cooperative argued in that case that the wine was "wholesome" because of a natural process used to reduce acidity.

Having talked about innovation lately, one can easily ask- what is innovation ? more importantly how do i get for my business.
From my favorite thinker on strategy and leadership here's a simple slide on how not to innovate
Having talked about innovation lately, one can easily ask- what is innovation ? more importantly how do i get for my business.
From my favorite thinker on strategy and leadership here's a simple slide on how not to innovate
Africa is the home of innovation.Lately you get the feeling that this is driven by the innovations centered around mobile usage and the growing mobile wallets that transact multiple times above the GDP of the nations they are hosted in.
I love the Fintech space, because we get to call our sector a space, and generate lots of new buzzwords like Silicon Savannah. Facebook, Airbnb, Uber, Mpesa, are all sexy businesses with millions of users. More importantly they are billion dollar businesses. They generate endless media excitement, and the executives who run them get to dictate what's cool, whats hip.
Innovation has come to be associated with technology. But its short-sighted to think that the only innovation in a market revolves around mobile money services. Yes they are revolutionary, they are game changers, and they are changing the ways in which Africans transact and conduct business.
But there are myriads of creative expressions happening around us, everyday. Sometimes you need to look outside of your own industry to get into the nuts and bolts of creativity. Spend time asking how do the things you take for granted, work.
Recently i heard about a new brand of chicken on the market. Its driven by a farmer who has about 85 out-growers in small co-operatives and how they are boosting the farmers production capacity to ensure growth in their margins per chicken. When you sit on your dinner table tonight, imagine this, some farmer somewhere is calculating how to grow their profit per chick from 0.30cts to 0.50cts through the kinds of feeding and care they implement on their farms.
Innovation mostly comes from small organisations looking to change the way in which they serve their customers. Its enabled by a growth mindset, a continual search to do better than yesterday. Next time you see news about mobile money providers and their innovative "new" idea skip that. They are most likely implementing whats already been done in another market.
The real innovation is happening everyday in the ways we interact with each other, in small companies trying to gain a foothold in markets previously unknown. Changing rules daily, shaping opinions at the base of the market, if you listen keenly your next break-through idea could just come from a taxi ride to Domboshava!
it has been an interesting year 2016 if you operate your business in Zimbabwe. We have had the highest number of company closures since the hyper inflation period, a deflated economy, and the constant threat of uprising and its repression.
With 90% unemployment rates in the market, its only natural that many will venture into entrepreneurship, "the hustle." No doubt if you have run any sort of business in Zimbabwe you can attest to why the country ranks among the bottom of nations with a low ease of doing business.
yet there are still many organisations thriving, and making a profit without making a splash in the news. Forget the top businesses, with the near billion dollar rankings and turnover. I'm talking your mom-n-pop enterprises, one man businesses that have stayed afloat and continue to invest in scaling their operations and growth in an economy that is sinking. Vendors who despite the odds, have found a retail niche to provide for their families.
It takes a certain courage to wake up everyday in this environment and go out and pursue your business with a sense of optimism that you are going to win. When nothing in the system is geared to help you win. Open your eyes, and you will find many pockets of innovation, enterprise and creativity that are keeping this market afloat.
All is not lost, the time to pick yourself up and invest in your idea is today. Get started, get cracking and go out into the market. Fail, pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and get right back on that horse. The successes you hear of today were born from that spirit that is so prevalent in this region, getting something started.
Start-ups are gaining ground everywhere, from small retail enterprises, vendors, artists, musicians, cross-border traders. Start-ups as a word seems to have been monopolized by the tech industry, that people everywhere forget that the airtime vendor, that artist selling his designs at a craft fair are essentially also start-ups! All it takes is a leap of faith to build your business , one brick at a time.
There seems to be an underlying mentality lately that once you identify an idea, or business opportunity you must guard it to death. I mean it seems logical that to attain a first mover advantage would lead to great profit.
Nothing wrong with this, entirely…except,how this shrinking pietitis presents itself. I take issue with those suited business types running around NDA's in tow thinking that their idea is the next best thing since sliced bread!
Ideas are a dime a dozen, " there's nothing new under the sun, "said the wisest king that ever lived. Worst still are the large corporations that lock down whole value chains with disastrous contracts preventing whole industries from thriving just to protect their shrinking margins from "disruption."
The lesson I have learnt lately is that in life we all have a unique and unending capacity to create. Given the exact same tools, ideas and even execution plans , we can still find myriads of new ways to express our creativity and create entirely new ideas and plans. New industries are being founded everyday from every day simple concepts. Taking small pieces of this or that to build a whole new thing.
To quote from the never ending mobile money innovation files, banking existed for hundreds of years, yet this simple technology is redefining the financial sector. In other news the transport sector that looked completely dominated by Uber, Safaricom in Kenya is yet again threatening to overthrow an industry with its little cabs.
When IBM dominated computing and hardware, still Microsoft and Apple were born.My first mobile phone was a Nokia 3310, who could have imagined a world then without Nokia phones.
I say all that to say this," it doesn't matter what you perceive the challenges to your idea being implemented today are." Its not like that idea is your last, or the best you will ever have. Ideas may be time bound but they are not finite.
The pie is not shrinking, opportunities abound, go out and bake a whole new pie, if you just dare to believe in your creative capacity.

Save for later
What are your hobbies?
Golf, Swimming, Rugby (watching these days), Walking & Rock Concerts
How did you get started in your career?
In July 2017 I will be celebrating 30 years at UBS. I came straight out of college and worked my way through various departments in the organisation to where I am today
How do you manage your disability at work?
At 23 I went down with pneumonia and they established "something was wrong". I had never been so ill in my life which was a huge shock for someone who was physically fit and actively playing rugby (scrum half). Over the next two years, and with extensive support from my managers, the company doctors referred me to medical experts who diagnosed a rare condition called IGA nephropathy. I couldn't play any sport due to the impact of the condition and was under constant review by a specialist.
When I was pregnant with my son in 1997 I was on special watch with additional check-ups due to the condition and the unknown effect it would have on the pregnancy. Luckily I got to 7 months and had a healthy baby boy (just a little underweight). The impact for me was a little different but after two months mentally I wanted to get back to work and routine. My managers helped me a lot. They adapted my work to give me a flexible working arrangement that meant I could work from home or in the office.
By the end of 2000 my health deteriorated rapidly and my managers were there to support. They were aware of the impact on me and knew I was stubborn and needed to work to help me. And they never put pressure on me and were always supportive. We even adapted my work to be more project orientated but always making me feel an included and valuable member of the team who could contribute to the team goals. This was important to me as I was suffering from fatigue, severe weight loss, sickness and just didn't know what would happen next with my health.
Unfortunately in January 2001 I had complete renal shut down and collapsed on the way to work. I was taken into hospital immediately. Eventually they started me on haemodialysis followed by CAPD (Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis) four times a day. Champing at the bit to get back to work and normality my managers (and the whole company) were so supportive of this new phase in my life. And they helped by arranging for dialysis equipment and medication to be delivered, managed and stored in the first aid room where I conducted dialysis twice a day during office hours. Luckily this was only until September of that year when I was lucky enough to benefit from a transplant and, as affectionately known to all, "Kevin the Kidney" changed my life for the better!
What is your organisation's approach to disability and how has your employer helped you to do well at your workplace?
From the medical investigations at the start UBS was there for me. Not only has it been my managers but also my work colleagues and internal and external business contacts who reached out with moral support and thoughtful messages. When you have a chronic condition that people can't see it is difficult for some to understand why you still have to go for check-ups or carry cards to flag the amount of anti-rejection medication you take.
I'm not cured as the condition is always there and could come back and lead to kidney failure again. I'm monitored constantly by the Royal London Hospital and can just call up the hospital if I have an issue (they are my National Health Service family).
What advice would you give a student with a similar disability, who wants to pursue a career in the field you work in?
My approach and personal goal is to get on with life. Today I feel fitter than when I was 25. Now my son is away at university, I'm using my free time to get fitter and take part in the Moonwalk in Edinburgh. And I learn Golf, do more swimming and take part in the UK Transplant Games for the London & Barts Team – I may even take up the javelin for the event this year!
That's amazing! Aside from your day-to-day role at UBS, are you involved in a disability network?
I now understand the importance of sharing a life experience with those inside and outside of UBS. Larry Hughes and myself both chair the Ability Awareness network at UBS. As a team with our committee members and other diversity network colleagues, we try to contribute as much as we can. To support our employees and any candidates to reinforce the message that our company is an employer who cares. And appreciates that diversity comes in many forms and everyone has the ability to contribute in a positive way. It just sometimes needs open communication and lateral thinking.

We have been able to donate a significant amount towards the new Forest School Project simply because of the school lottery.

Please please if you haven't joined just click below. You have to be in it to win it!
The more people who sign up for this the bigger the weekly prize is, currently its around £18 per week but with your help we could get that higher. It cost £1 per week and you also get put into a national draw to win £25,000 a week so TWO chances of winning whilst helping the school.
Please click here to join and Good Luck!
The weekly draw takes place at 8pm every Saturday night.

* TSX falls 267.45 pts, or 2.1 pct, at 12,252.06
* Higher U.S. dollar drags down commodities
* Copper, gold, oil prices slide more than 1 pct
* Miners, energy firms sink
* TSX still up 5.4 pct on month (Adds details, analyst comments)
By Jon Cook
TORONTO, Oct 31 (Reuters) - Canadian stocks got spooked on Monday, falling more than 2 percent, with sliding commodities, Japanese market intervention, the failure of a major brokerage and Europe's lingering crisis all making investors jittery.
A surprise move by Japan to weaken its currency by buying U.S. dollars, caught the market off guard and had a negative trickle-down effect on equities, commodities and other risky assets. [MKTS/GLOB]
"We did not expect to wake up to see the Japanese buying currency," said Brendan Caldwell, chief executive of Caldwell Investment Management Ltd. "At the moment of actual crisis, there is no substitute for the U.S. dollar, nor will there likely be for the foreseeable future."
Adding to the market's worries, U.S. futures broker MF Global filed for bankruptcy on Monday. For details see [nN1E79U0DF]
Renewed doubts about the euro zone's debt crisis plan also helped put an abrupt end to October's stock market rally.
The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index .GSPTSE, dropped 267.45 points, or 2.1 percent, at 12,252.06. It was the TSX's worst daily decline in nearly a month.
Still, the index finished October up 5.4 percent, its biggest one-month gain since May, 2009.
Nine of the Canadian market's 10 main sectors were lower, led by a 3.41 percent drop in energy stocks, which fell as oil prices slipped in low-volume trading. [O/R]
Suncor Energy (SU.TO), down 4 percent to C$31.75, and Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ.TO), down 3.9 percent to C$35.16, were two of the biggest drags on the index.
The Potash Corp POT.TO was the biggest laggard, falling 5.1 percent to C$47.18. Potash and other mining stocks pulled the heavily weighted materials sector down 3.1 percent.
"They all seem to move in a pack and today the pack is going south," said David Baskin, portfolio manager and president of Baskin Financial Services.
First Quantum Minerals (FM.TO), down 6.1 percent to C$20.91, was another big drag.
Base metals such as copper slipped as the dollar rose and enthusiasm for Europe's debt deal gave way to the view that the region's economic problems are far from over. [MET/L]
Barrick Gold (ABX.TO), down 2.6 percent to C$49.21, was also a big weight. Fresh on the heels of its best weekly performance in a month, gold fell more than 2 percent as a spike in the U.S. dollar spooked precious metals investors. [GOL/]
Canadian banking shares were also hurt by "lack of details coming out of Europe on how they're going to execute this plan," Baskin said.
Canadian financial stocks were down 1.4 percent. Royal Bank of Canada (RY.TO) led the sector down, falling 2.1 percent to C$48.62. Insurer Manulife Financial (MFC.TO) also dropped 3.8 percent to C$13.16.
Telecom stocks, a traditional safe-haven play, were up 0.5 percent. Bell Aliant BA.TO gained 1.1 percent to C$28.06, BCE Inc (BCE.TO) rose 0.7 percent to C$39.51, and Rogers Communications (RCIb.TO) gained 0.3 percent to C$36.35.
In other company news, Grande Cache Coal GCE.TO shares jumped 68 percent after it agreed to be acquired by Winsway Coking Coal and Marubeni Corp in a C$1 billion ($1 billion) deal fueled by demand from China's steelmakers. [ID:nN1E79U0DM]
TMX Group (X.TO) shares rose more than 3 percent after the operator of Canada's largest stock market threw its support behind a C$3.8 billion takeover offer from a group of banks and pension funds. [ID:nL4E7LV0LA]
Pacific Northern Gas Ltd PNG.TO shares spiked more than 20 percent after it agreed to bought by AltaGas Ltd (ALA.TO) for about C$145 million. [ID:nL4E7LV20K]

text: I've been frustrated a lot, sometimes over the most trivial things. I don't like to be reminded constantly about things; it just makes me more frustrated. It's as if I have an anger issue or something, or I can't hold down my temper like I used to. Or maybe I've been so tolerant of so many things that I can't take it anymore. My ability to tolerate behavior, people, among other things, is probably why I'm at my breaking point. I don't need to be told what's wrong with me; I know what's wrong with me. Don't ask me to do things when I'm on my way out the door, or ask about something so vague ("the books") that I don't know what you're talking about. The incident about the books occurred on my way out the door, and it turns out it was about magazines for my sister's kids. I already gave it to them. Asking me if I got "the books" isn't going to help me leave any faster. Being vague doesn't help; it only makes it worse. And that's what gets me frustrated and I snap. It's been bad because I've taken my frustrations out on other people when they don't deserve it, but if they started it, it's their own damn fault. It feels like I'm angry at anything that doesn't work (especially the computer). Even though I could have a problem, I refuse to get help because the last time I had therapy, it didn't work. It didn't make things better or worse, so I stopped going. And even if I'm in a good mood, there is still a chance I'll snap at someone. Being older and not having a real job hasn't been helping. *sigh* I guess that's enough ranting for now…now I have 3 days to finish my continuing education. Meh.
