Rosstat has published preliminary estimate for GDP growth in the second quarter of this year. In April—June, Russia's GDP decreased by 0.6% compared to the same period of the previous year. Thus, the rate of economic contraction has slowed by half in the first quarter of 2016, the GDP amounted to 1.2%.
According to Rosstat, GDP declining at an annual rate for six consecutive quarters. But economists HSE estimate that GDP falls quarter on quarter for two years (with the exception of the third quarter of 2015, when the economy grew at the expense of factor stocks). According to experts from the HSE, since the beginning of the crisis, the economy has lost about 5.5% of GDP.
HSE assesses the dynamics of GDP on the basis of changes of production of basic industries (agriculture, industrial production, construction, cargo turnover, retail and wholesale trade) QoQ after seasonal adjustment, explains the leading expert of the Center of the HSE Mykola Kondrashov.
Previously, the Ministry also estimated the decline in GDP in the second quarter of 0.6% (coincided with the data of Rosstat). According to the Ministry, in the first half of 2016, the GDP decreased by 0.9% compared to the corresponding period last year. The Minister of economic development Alexei Ulyukayev on August 4, did not rule out that in the third quarter of 2016, the GDP may show a small positive trend. "I think it will be around zero in the third quarter, maybe slightly negative, maybe a little plus," he said (quoted by TASS).
Experts of Bank of Russia earlier announced the end of the recession in the economy. "The index rating of Russia's GDP suggests that the recession is behind us, and ahead of a slow growth economy", — stated in the Bulletin of the Department of studies and forecasting of the Central Bank. Experts of the Central Bank estimated the GDP growth for the second quarter of 2016 to the previous quarter at 0.2—0.3% in the current quarter, the Central Bank expects growth of 0.4%.
Signs of recovery from recession saw Bloomberg, pay attention to the increase in volumes of rail and container traffic and the growth in electricity demand. However, the median forecast of 19 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg had pointed to a decline in GDP of 0.8% in the second quarter — the Federal state statistics service was better.
The base forecast of Ministry of economic development suggests a decline of GDP by the end of 2016 at 0.3%. In early August, Ulyukayev said that the forecast for GDP growth in 2016 will be updated. "By year until we believe that minus 0.2%, but will still clarify — the situation is in such a precarious balance," the Minister said.
Evaluation of the HSE, the decline in GDP this year will amount to about 1.5%. The world Bank believes that the Russian economy will shrink this year by 1.2% (but will grow by 1.4% in 2017), the international monetary Fund predicts a minus of 1.2% this year and 1% next.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Whole Foods Market.
Very easy and personable. They sit down and talk with you in the eating area of the store and ask questions pertaining to your previous work, why you want to join Whole Foods, etc.
Interview Questions
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Whole Foods Market in July 2016.
I applied online and they got back to me within a week. They called me and did a "screening" over the phone (which was just a 5 minute interview) and was told by the representative that they were recommending me for an in-person interview. They never got back to me after that.
Interview Questions
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Whole Foods Market (Philadelphia, PA).
I received a phone screening, which led an interview with a team leader. The team leader was great and made the entire experience comfortable, and asked exactly the type of questions I would expect (questions about the company, their ideology, their charities, etc). I was offered an interview with another team leader who might also be in need of a new hire, so I came back two days later for another interview. This team leader wasn't as great, and asked much less relevant, very broad questions, like "how do you handle conflict?" among others. I really didn't expect to be given these types of questions during an in-person interview because in my experience, typically these are the questions that are asked during the phone screening.
Four or five days later I was notified that I was going to be given the "second" interview (by this time my fourth interview overall) with store leadership. I went back to the store for a third time, and this interview was a waste of time. I didn't receive a single question about the brand, their ideology, their mission, etc. I received more seemingly irrelevant, broad questions like "how do you make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich?" among other inane questions. I honestly couldn't believe I was being asked this question. I've visited the store for three interviews, had a phone interview, and this is what the store leadership is asking? I understand the nature of the question, but why not ask something like this during the phone screening?
The store leader then glanced over my resume and looked up my current employer on the computer and asked "is this him?" upon finding his website (yet seemingly had little interest in what I do there), then glanced over my resume again and revealed an apprehension about my work history. The best guess I have is that they were looking for someone who is seeking a long term career with the company, and my resume didn't indicate to the store leader that I would be seeking such a position.
An hour after the interview I was told I wasn't being offered the position. Crazy to think that someone applying for a part-time cashier position isn't interested in a long-term career at the company. Also crazy to think that I had to visit the store three separate times for interviews, taking time out of my work schedule, to be denied based on apprehensions stemming from my work history, that could have easily been brought up and discussed during the phone screening or the first interview with a team leader.

I gave my resume in person to Whole Foods and also applied online the same day. 3 days later I got a call asking to come in for a panel interview. The panel interview consisted of the lower level leads who asked very standard questions about customer service, experience, situational questions, etc. It was maybe 5-10 minutes long. I was called back for a second interview. This interview consisted of 3 people of upper management, including the store manager. The same questions were asked, more or less.
The reason they said that I did not receive the job is because of my availability (my preferred day off was Sunday). The man who had called me to tell me this said they really liked my interview and professionalism and, because of this, they will keep my resume on hand. Tip: When giving your availability, ask if there is any problem with it. If I had known it was going to be a big factor in the determining process, I would have changed it right away.
Interview Questions
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Whole Foods Market (Chicago, IL) in July 2014.
I spoke with the ATL &TL on the phone they pretty much acted like the phone interview was a joke. I've work for Whole foods before and know what a interview process should be like, they were laughing and giggling like I was telling a joke they told me I should receive a phone call or email that same day but I received neither, great customer service.I use to shop there not anymore.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Whole Foods Market (Coral Springs, FL) in February 2013.
I first applied online through their website. As soon as I submitted the application, I gave them a call. I spoke to the Team Leader of the Customer Service department. He explained how the hiring process worked: they first post a job opening and once a certain amount of time has gone by, they take down the posting and begin screening applications. If your application makes it through the screening process, they call you for an interview. Anyways, he explained that to me and then did an informal interview over the phone with me. About three weeks later I received a call asking me if I wanted to come in for an interview and I was so excited. I came in that very week and was told that if I didn't get a call in two days, it meant I didn't get the job. So you know I was waiting for that call, I finally got it.
Just a few tips for the process:
-Call in after you send your application.
-Dress business casual for your interview. Don't overdo it because you may come in with some fancy suit on and be interviewed by people in a shirt, jeans, and sneakers.
-Don't get intimidated if you see four people interviewing you. It's normal. Just keep your cool and try to make eye contact with everyone at some point during the interview.
-Be humble and smile.
Once you get that call you'll receive an email within the next 24 hours. Just follow the directions and once your background check is clear, they'll set you up for orientation.
Hope this helps :) Whole Foods is really a great company with great people working together to make a difference.
Interview Questions
There was no negotiation, they offered and I accepted. I believe the starting rate for a Cashier Assistant is $8.25 and $10 for Cashiers.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Whole Foods Market (Boca Raton, FL) in August 2012.
I applied online, and received a call for an in-store interview. The interviewer was one of the team's associate team leaders, and was extremely nice. the interview was lighthearted, and the interviewer joked around with me. once she established that I would be a good fit, she called an associate store team leader who did a short follow up interview with me. He told me that it was a hard job, but that it was definitely just a "foot in the door", if I worked hard. This was in fact the case, and I became a cashier with two raises within about 2 months. from there I moved to the team I wanted to be on (specialty), and was able to focus my passion towards beer and wine.
Interview Questions
I applied online. The process took a week. I interviewed at Whole Foods Market (Alexandria, VA) in March 2012.
If they decide to call you in for an interview you go through three stages, most times if your supervisors are all at work you sit down with them and basically go through different variations of the same question. Usually, if you make it through the second interview you're usually in, it's not hard.
Most cases they will proceed to do part of the interview then you will get kicked around sometimes for a week or so till they are all in the same building.

The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Whole Foods Market (Orlando, FL) in January 2012.
After filling out an application online I got a call for an interview less then a week later. I was interviewed by 4people. It was pretty intimidating even tho most of them were around my age 21-25. At the end of that interview they told me that they wanted me to do a second interview and that they would call me to set it up. They called me literay 2hours later. The next day I have the second interview wit one person the manager. He loved me it seemed and told me that they would call me if I was hired but that he had the last call and that he liked me so it was for sure lol. I got a call the next day telling me I was hired. It was quick when it came down to interviewing but overall a long process. My advice is to know about the company because they asked me on both interviews and be friendly and open availability is the best for them.
Interview Questions
The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Whole Foods Market in December 2010.
After I completed an online application I was called within a couple of weeks. The hiring manager was pleasant on the phone as my interview date was scheduled. The interview process was somewhat long and thorough however I appreciated that since it seemed that the managers were really determined to discover what I call employee-management-customer-store compatibility. *Tips: You may find it beneficial to actually ask the Team Leader of each department if any employees are needed since you may get an interview on the spot. Also before the interview be certain to study the culture and Whole Foods jargon since management can smell and detect people who lie about shopping at the store just to get a job like bloodhounds. You are also more likely to be hired if you are a friendly and warm individual who is teachable rather than only a results driven employee focused on the bottom line with no customer service skills and a cold personality.
Interview Questions
Not much room for negotiation I'm afraid. However I was made aware of the ample opportunities for raises and promotions which during my Whole Foods career I was able to take advantage of so no complaints from me on that note.

We all the time hear that remodeling a kitchen is among the costliest home enhancements. Plumbing providers alone can value $2,000 to $3,500 (or greater) and plumbing permits (required by the Metropolis's Division of Buildings for any plumbing work that exceeds a minor repair or a direct swap of a similar fixture) can run as much as $2,000 per permit.
We at all times thought we have been so lucky to have a gasoline line so near the kitchen (we're on a concrete slab, so to increase it from the water heater we'd need to go up by means of the walls and ceiling slightly than below the ground).
Of course, the answer to the question How much does it price to remodel a kitchen?" depends upon several factors. A kitchen transform can vary from only a small update, akin to repainting partitions and placing a backsplash, to a complete …

Avoid Getting Sick With These Flu Survival Tips
Having the flu is the worst; it can make you feel lethargic, weak, and achey on top of all of the symptoms of a cold. As that time of year gets closer, you may want to make some notes on these ways to survive flu season, because when flu season starts, there's no stopping it and the beastly illness spreads like wildfire.
You can almost see it happening — one of your colleagues comes to work looking dreadful, they begin to sneeze around their workspace, and that's it. The flu descends upon you and your unsuspecting colleagues and leaves you all stumbling around with misty heads. If you manage to evade the flu at work, it can and will find you at home. You may come home from the office one evening to find your SO curled up on the couch with a blanket and a crusty nose, or you might go to visit your parents who open the door to you looking like death and proceed to invite you in for a homecooked meal.
Someone you care about is going to get the flu this season, but there's no need to barricade the doors and windows, just take heed of these tips in order to escape the dastardly flu this winter.
1. Keep Your Phalanges Fresh
Just take a minute to think about all of the surfaces, objects, and other people your hands come into contact with every day. You touch your phone, your computer keyboard, escalators, and handrails while commuting, elevator buttons, tables, shared coffee cups, office pens... the list could go on. If you imagine all of the maybe millions of people who have also come into contact with these objects and surfaces, you begin to realize just how much you're putting yourself at risk of flu if you don't regularly wash your hands. According to WebMD, germs can live on any surface for two hours or more, so don't forget to regularly wash your hands with warm, soapy water to keep the bugs at bay.
2. Boost Your Immune System
Start making steps now to give your immune system a much needed boost. Why wait until it's too late and you're already sick when you can put plans into place now? There are many ways to boost your immune system from making sure to stay hydrated, increasing your alkaline intake, and even having a bout of laughter. Read up on how to boost your immune system before flu season is in full swing.
3. Exercise
It seems regular exercise is the answer to everything nowadays, but with so many physical and mental health benefits, it's easy to see why many experts recommend it. Dr. Mercola informed readers, "When you exercise, you increase your circulation and your blood flow throughout your body. The components of your immune system are also better circulated, which means your immune system has a better chance of finding an illness before it spreads. This includes (but is certainly not limited to) seasonal colds and influenza." Choose an exercise that you enjoy and you can commit to regularly to help your body fight off the flu.
4. Get Enough Rest
During the festive season it's way too easy to burn the candle at both ends and not get enough sleep. According to The National Sleep Foundation, sleep could be the best prevention for colds or flu, explaining that sleep deprivation has an adverse effect on immune function, and chronic sleep loss can increase an individual's vulnerability to infectious diseases. So head home early from your midweek night out or switch off Netflix and start counting sheep instead.
5. Get Some Fresh Air
Get wrapped up warm and go for a brisk walk outdoors. If you can't spend time outside, open a window to get fresh air flowing through your home or place of work. "Spending the day in a stuffy room with anyone who's under the weather raises your risk of catching a bug. Letting a little fresh air circulate keeps airborne viral particles on the move, making them harder to pick up." Dr. Phillips, author of The Exhaustion Breakthrough told Health.
6. Have More Sex
Did you know you can fight the cold and flu season with sex? Awesome, right? According to CBS News, a study out of Wilkes University found that sex boosts immunity, and another found that it decreases stress, which makes colds more likely. Seems like a win, win situation to me.
7. Utilize Your Technology
There are a bunch of apps that can help you through flu season. Take for instance the FluView Influenza-Like Illness Activity app created by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This clever app helps you explore Influenza-Like Illness (ILI) Activity Levels across the US and view trends. On a similar note, the Sickweather app scans social networks for indicators of illness and maps illnesses nearby and across the country to help you to avoid getting sick.
Arm yourself against colds and flu this winter by heeding these defensive tips and prepare for the invasion.

Every Sunday we will be recapping what happened this week in the world of social media, keeping you up to date!
Facebook tests "Things in Common" feature
Facebook is testing out a new feature to encourage users to interact with new people. The platform has been spotted trying out a "things in common" label which appears in comment sections.
Say you are scrolling down comments on a public post and you come across a user that you don't know who has information above their name that tells you if you attended the same university, like the same pages, location or work at the same company for example.
A spokeswoman from Facebook has told CNET that the new feature is to encourage people that you're not friends with to connect and see whether you might have something in common with them.
According to CNET, the platform is currently rolling out this test in the U.S on a small scale, with no further plans as of yet.
This may come as a strange move by the platform, following data protection concerns and the social media giant's bid to make the platform a safer place for users and their data.

Facebook hires new CMO
Facebook has hired a new Chief Marketing Officer. Antonio Lucio will be leaving his role as Global Chief Marketing and Communications Officer at HP Inc. and joining Facebook in a similar role.
Chief Product Officer, Chris Cox revealed the move on his Facebook profile on Friday. Cox stated that Lucio "has an extraordinary reputation in the industry as a leader, a marketer, an operator, and a wise, gracious, and deeply principled human being."
This will bring Lucio's time at HP to an end after three years. Previous to that, Lucio was Visa's CMO and PespiCo's Leader of Innovation and Beverage Marketing. Lucio is reported to start his new role at Facebook as of September 4th.

Instagram is testing recommended posts in feeds
The platform announced on Monday that are testing recommended posts in the news feed. Users will be able to see "recommendations based on the people you follow and photos and videos you like."
Once users have seen everything new on their feed, they'll get a "Recommended For You" message, giving users the chance to scroll through the posts that Instagram has recommended for them. Users will then also have the option to follow these recommended accounts.
This new feature will allow users to see more of the platform outside the accounts that they follow. The platform has been rolling out the new feature this week.
Twitter's CEO Jack Dorsey will testify in front of the E&C
U.S. House committee, Energy and Commerce announced on Twitter that Twitter's CEO, Jack Dorsey will appear before the committee on September 5 to discuss "algorithms and content monitoring".
There have been a number of concerns over social media platforms, Twitter and Facebook's apparent politically-bias behaviour. Dorsey will answer a number of questions in regards to the way Twitter handles and filters out content.
That's all from this week!
Check back next Sunday for a recap of all things social.

I'm delighted today to welcoming novelist and blogger Louise Wise in the "Shed" today! I know Louise from various social networking writing groups we're both in, and also from her blog. I was delighted to be a guest twice for Louise, and later in this article, you can learn how you could guest with her, too.
I have to admit one of the reasons I'm most excited to host Louise today: I just finished her dark chick-lit novel The Fall of the Misanthrope: I Bitch Therefore I Am. (Read my review here!) Louise managed to take some fairly dark material and make it not only intriguing but also kind of fun. She writes very colorful characters you really care about–even the misanthrope.
1. I got really into your book The Fall of the Misanthrope: I Bitch Therefore I Am because I tend to be drawn to the darker side side of chick-lit, and your story definitely takes readers there. When you write, do you prefer a darker story, or do you sometimes also tell lighter tales? And what about what you read?
I like to be realistic with my writing, and try to incorporate as much real life as I can. Loneliness does seem to be prevalent in all of my books, and even A Proper Charlie, one of my 'lighter' books, the protagonist is lonely. But no, I prefer my stories to be fun more than 'dark'. I want to make people laugh and think, hey, that could happen to me, at the same time.
I like reading Sophie Kinsella, Alexandra Potter and Matt Dunn for light reads and humour, and Dean Koontz and James Herbert for my darker moments. I also like to read indies: Pam Howes, Patrick Fox, John Hudspith to name just a few.
2. What inspired you to tell this story? If you don't mind sharing, was any of it based on actual events or did you just conjure it with your brilliant imagination?
I was talked into having my fortune told in my teen years and the accuracy of it scared me to death! So, that part of The Fall of the Misanthrope was from an actual event (no one died though!).
In the book, I wanted a nasty main character; someone people would hate. But I was stopped at the draft stage when my editor told me the protagonist would need a redeeming side, and I had to think of a reason for her nastiness. It is purely fiction and apart from the fortune teller nothing else was taken from real life.
3. Did you have to do a lot of research to get to the heart of Valerie's issues? Did any of the research you did change the way you originally saw your story unfolding?
I work in a pharmacy so I was able to research depression and medication quite easily, and my husband used to run a brokerage. It's true what they say, write what you know… or rather know what you write.
The Fall of the Misanthrope has changed a lot from draft to final product, but not all because of research. The minor characters Tim and Paul started out as young men, but I felt older characters would have more scope. Pensioners are hilarious to write about! What with false teeth, dodgy hips and toupees – so much ammunition.
4. Can you tell us about your writing process? Are you a "plotter" or "pantser"? Do you work better in a state of quiet organization or chaos? Do you set a word count target or take it as it comes?
I plot in my head, then take myself somewhere quiet and think about characters and a possible situation. Husband calls it daydreaming, but whatever! Then I write. I just get down the main ingredients of the story and I try to do that within a month or less. If I can see a beginning and a middle and a possible end I'll go back to the start and flesh it out. So maybe I'm a bit of both "potter" and "panster". But I like to call my approach a "painter". I paint a basecoat, then go over with another coat, and another, until finally, I can add my final gloss.
5. In addition to being a terrific author, you're also quite a prolific blogger. Can you tell us a little bit about your blog–how you decided what it should be, how you decide on themes? I've been honored to be your guest twice. Can you tell others how you go through your selection process of what to post?
Aw, thank you. Four years ago I was told I needed an author platform and so began Wise Words Book Blogger (WWBB). I didn't like to talk about me all the time when others were much more interesting, so I invited people to my blog.
At first, I allowed any subject but then I wanted more control and decided to bring in themed months. I look around writing forums, Twitter, anywhere, for ideas. In fact, I've had a people email me asking for a subject because of an idea they've have and I'm always pleased to oblige.
WWBB never intended to be a blog for writers, but that's how it has turned out and I'm very happy with it. If people want to write for me all I ask is for them to read the "What's Hot" for their desired month, stick to the theme, edit their own articles and share the link with their social media once it's live. Oh, and following the blog is polite. It's the equivalent of a handshake in blogland!
BONUS: Do you have a current WIP? If you do, can you share anything with us about what it's about? And if not…what kinds of books are you considering diving into developing next?
My first published novel is called Eden, I wrote this before I discovered my niche was chick lit. It's a sci-fi romance with the theme Beauty and the Beast, anyway, I began getting a lot of mail asking for a sequel and so I'm writing that at the moment. I'm on the second draft, and I hope to have it ready for late summer. It was nice to get back to old characters, and taking up their story again was like putting on comfy slippers. Maybe I can have two niches? That's not greedy, is it?
Not at all, Louise! I think anyone who has many interests and talents should dabble in other niches. We don't always eat the same kind of foods or wear the same clothes. Why always write the same kinds of books?
Thanks so much for joining us today!
Here's an excerpt from The Fall of the Misanthrope: I Bitch Therefore I Am:
I woke to the smell of bacon – and déjà vu. I turned, and a wave of nausea engulfed me as did a memory of a thin-faced man called Jon with piercing blue eyes. And Tim. Why was I thinking about Tim? Oh God… a dream I had been dreaming last night came back. Tim was making love to me. Only he had a strangely good body. I pulled the covers up over my head. No, no! I don't want this picture in my mind.
'Morning, Val.' My curtains were ripped open and a blaze of light seared me like flames as I peeked over the top of my duvet. I rolled over, mumbling something like "bitch" and "get out".
'Coffee,' Ellen said, and placed a deliciously smelling cup on my bedside table. 'And a couple of paracetamol. How's the head?'
'Serves you right. You drank two bottles of wine to yourself. Poor Jon. I don't expect you'll see him again.'
Braving the daylight I rolled onto my back and looked up at her. 'Thank God. What were you thinking setting me up like that? Isn't it surprising I drank?' I pushed myself up so I was propped against the bed rest. I reached for the coffee. 'Thanks for this,' I said grudgingly.
She sat on my bed. Not on the edge as you'd expect – this was Ellen – but in the center with her legs cross-legged.
'I can smell bacon,' I said. Hopefully.
'I saved you some,' she said. 'Tim makes a mean fry-up.'
'Tim?' Images of my dream swamped my head. 'What's he doing here?'
She evaded my eyes. 'He brought you home last night.'
I peered under my duvet. I was in my undies. I looked up at Ellen questioningly.
'I undressed you. I slept in the room I had before, and Tim on the settee downstairs. I didn't want to leave you in that state and Tim felt he should stay too. He cares about you, doesn't he? I never realised until now.'
Oh, shit.
I popped the paracetamol into my mouth, and swallowed them down with coffee. I only wished they were strong enough to delete the image of Tim holding me in his arms.
Buy The Fall of the Misanthrope now!
Valerie Anthrope's life is finally on track. She has a thriving business, money is no problem, and men, well, she's a modern, cutthroat business woman and romantic entanglement isn't for her, so she can take them or leave them. Or so she tells herself, and anyone else who'll listen. But that's the problem. There is no one else. Those who get too close never live to tell the tale—literally.
Someone needs a fairy godmother, don't they?

A few years ago my husband and I were driving home after a football game and his phone rang. By the tone of his voice I knew something wasn't right. I knew that he was talking to someone from work about one of my best friends (who was married to a coworker). I asked what was wrong, and he said he wanted to wait until we got home to talk about it. I knew at that moment it was bad and demanded to know.
She was gone.
A split second decision and a gun in her hand she made the decision to end her own life.
I couldn't imagine my sweet, funny and beautiful friend being that depressed. She was never without a smile on her face. Imagining her broken and desperate as she had to have been in that moment truly wrecked me. She was religious, so I wondered what her family and friends would think about her. Would they say she had sinned? That she was a coward? So many emotions ran through me in those days after her suicide. Sadness, grief, worry, anger, confusion.
I blamed myself as many do when a loved one makes that decision. If I had only seen the signs. Had she said anything that indicated this? We had dinner a couple weeks before and she seemed positive about things. That past year had been tough on her, she lost her father and had been having some personal issues but it always amazed me how upbeat and 'glass half full' she always was. Apparently, she was just really good at hiding things.
Suicide is preventable, but it's also not certain you will see any signs. People are complex, multi faceted beings and although you know someone well, you have to realize you will never understand them completely. Even open books have secrets. We just have to be the best we can to those around us. Let your loved ones know you are there for them in good times and bad. Suicide should not be a taboo issue to talk about and it should be talked about often. I have had my own struggles with anxiety and depression throughout my life and I would always bottle things up until I exploded.
It's been a few years now since I lost her and will never fully mend the hole that Charity left. I still go through bouts of sadness and confusion about her death. There is never closure in this kind of situation, only a shell of an answer that will never be good enough. The one thing I can say that I have learned from this devastating loss is to trust in my friends and family when I am going through hard times. You don't have to carry the weight alone.
I have photo booth images of us from her wedding day framed in my home, in it we are making silly faces and having so much fun. Each and every time I walk by I think of her. I don't want to forget her hidden struggles but I also want to remember her amazing smile. Although she was broken on the inside. She was whole and beautiful to me and I want her to remain that way in my memory.

Vertex Animation Textures and UV set problem2547 10 1
I submitted a fix yesterday that might solve that problem. Can you download the latest tools from the development branch on Github and see if that fixes it?
https://github.com/sideeffects/GameDevelopmentToolset/tree/Development [github.com]
https://github.com/sideeffects/GameDevelopmentToolset/tree/Development [github.com]
Strange. I don't know why it's trying to cook those if they're not connected. If you right click on the vertex_animation_textures node and choose "Allow editing of Contents". Then delete both the mantra4 and mantra5 node as well as NORMAL_TEXTURE inside soft_obj that might fix it. I'll submit an update on GitHub once I've done some more testing.

Consolidation: What It Is And How It Succeeds
In simple terms, debt consolidation enables you to incorporate different debts into just one loan with a smaller interest rate and fair payment period. If the alternate choice is to continue to fail to handle numerous accounts, it's a popular choice. When you choose an effective debt consolidation company, it will also save you lots of money. With a more affordable interest rate, your financial debt will stop accumulating so fast, and more of your hard-earned cash goes toward the principal.Read More
For those who have wonderful credit history, you'll have additional alternatives for debt consolidation, including getting a private debt consolidation loan from a business like Lending Club. But, plenty of people who may have damaging personal debt do not have favorable credit. Plenty of people that are dealing with consumer debt will need to use a specific debt consolidation company created for those that have less-than-perfect credit. Whatever your credit score is, you'll be able to learn more about your available alternatives by studying this page.
Addressing Consumer debt - Identifying Key Terms
Handling personal debt could be complicated, so we will explain a few of the more important terms you'll run into. Everything will make more sense with the subsequent details.
1. Unsecured Personal Loan
If you want a loan without needing any collateral, then an unsecured loan is exactly what you are looking for. Having said that, to qualify, you must have a good credit score.
2. Origination Fees
These are costs that lenders charge borrowers to pay for the usual fees of handling and providing lending options. (1 to 5% of amount borrowed).
APR = Annual Percentage Rate. It shows theinterest that's placed on a sum borrowed. This serves as a payment for the financial loan, including fees.
4. Debt Negotiation
Debt negotiation is the method of negotiating a settlement amount with a collector to enable you to pay for a lesser balance to close the account. It's also referred to as arbitration and debt settlement. Debt negotiation companies might give assistance with this, or it is possible to do it without assistance.
Exploring Debt Consolidation Options
You might be wondering if there's any financial risk to working with a debt consolidation service. It's absolutely normal to consider what you could be getting yourself into. The very last thing you'd like to do is make a wrong move and get in a more frustrating predicament. Dealing with the right debt consolidation company is going to optimize the rewards, while cutting out risks, so that you've got a lot more to gain than you have to lose. Neglecting to do something is the most unfortunate thing you can do.
Studying the alternatives is the most effective way to ensure that debt consolidation will go nicely in your case. More often than not, debt consolidation solutions are a good and beneficial option, and it simply hinges on finding the most appropriate choice for your problem. Then again, there are a few underhanded debt consolidation companies out there. If you leap into something without having done a lot of exploration, you can end up in worse financial debt. These article could supply the basis for your investigation, to help you get started on a good path. These assessments will direct you to the best consolidation services in Sedona, Arizona for your different situation.
Method One - Pros And Cons Of The Lending Club
Lending Club is the biggest peer-to-peer loan provider in the United States. They offer personal loans between one thousand and forty thousand dollars with an APR in between 5.99 and 32.99 percent. The 2 alternatives for the term are 3 or 5 years. You pay origination costs between 1 percent and 5 percent. Your charge is determined according to your credit standing. To do business with Lending Club your credit score needs to be no less than 660.
Lending Club: The Pros
The Lending Club webpage is modern and convenient to use, which happens to be useful when you're already stressed attempting to deal with financial debt. You won't have to worry about working with unethical details while using Lending Club. Every action and process is evidently revealed. You can also save time, money, and trouble through the use of the web page's complimentary rate-quote tool.
You're able to use Lending Club in each and every state throughout the country aside from the state of Iowa.
If you need a larger personal loan, Lending Club might be the solution. People with significant debt can be thankful for this.
Lending Club is an accredited A+ business with the Better Business Bureau.
The Concerns of Lending Club
You will be limited by a choice from a 3 year financial loan or a 5 year financial loan. If you're searching for further possibilities, you'll want to check somewhere else.
Other available options will not be as stringent concerning who qualifies for a loan as Lending Club is.
When you need your funds promptly, you might not wish to hold out up to a week for your Lending Club loan to get approved and financed.
Any time you produce a payment by check, you must pay a $7 fee. It isn't really a serious difficulty, however for some people, it isn't worth the extra expense.
Solution Two: Prosper
Independent financiers crowd fund peer to peer loan organizations such as Lending Club and also the lender, Prosper. With Prosper, unsecured loans are accessible from $2,000 - $35,000. They come with 5.99 - 32.99 percent APR. Your credit ranking should be 640+ to get a Prosper loan. It isn't as hard to get a Prosper loan, however. Together with your credit worthiness, they'll take other variables into consideration. The application charges with this agency are from .5 and 4.95 percent. If you are ever late on one of your repayments, you will probably pay a cost of either fifteen dollars or 5 % of the outstanding amount. Comparable costs apply for unsuccessful repayment efforts.
Prosper: Beneficial Factors
Personal loans from Prosper are obtainable all over the US in forty seven different states.
Should you need a greater personal loan for your financial debt, Prosper can provide.
You won't have to endure another charge to process each payment.
This provider is willing to consider each application on a case by case basis. When you have below-average credit, they might still be able to work with you.
Prosper retains an A+ standing with the BBB.
The Downside of Prosper
They just provide two alternatives for terms: three and five years.
It can take about seven days for your personal loan to be accepted and supplied.
Option Three - Pros And Cons of National Debt Relief
Those with an unfavorable credit rating may rely on National Debt Relief for support. This one is not similar to the other companies, as it is not a solution for debt consolidation. They instead negotiate financial debt for those who are unable to be eligible for a consolidation loan due to terrible credit ratings or maxed charge cards. They concentrate on negotiating and lowering consumer debt from doctor bills, commercial loans, charge cards and much more. This is actually the most suitable option for those with bad credit who can't get unsecured loans. You can be debt free in two to four years this way.
This is the road to get collectors to quit harassing you with daily telephone calls.
National Debt Relief Positives
No advance fees. If they are able to settle debt, you will end up paying a fee between 18% to 25% of your total enrolled debt.
Better Business Bureau Accredited : A+
AFCC and IAPDA Accredited
Guaranteed total satisfaction or your money back.
Winning Service: Top Consumer Reviews Best Overall Debt Relief Company - Top Consumer Reviews 5 Star Rating for 2016 - Top 10 Reviews 2016 Excellence Award - Top Ten Reviews 2016 Gold Award for Best Overall Debt Relief Company
National Debt Relief. . . Unfavorable Details
National Debt Relief hasn't existed as long as many other debt relief businesses (started in '09).
If you wish to consolidate your consumer debt with a low monthly payment and your credit rating is 640 or more, then Lending Club or Prosper are wonderful opportunities. Yet, if you need more than that and/or have got lower credit scores, National Debt Relief can help.
Protect Yourself From Hazardous Debt Relief Company Strategies
You need to think about reputation when scouting for a business to consolidate your consumer debt. You don't want to deal with any organization that may be unethical. Many might take advantage of you in a difficult time.
1. You Must Contact Them First
Dangerous businesses sometimes send spam e-mail messages that seek to deceive folks into applying for something they shouldn't. A legitimate company isn't going to have such an aggressive campaign as they know that folks that need their service can look for them based upon their good reputation.
2. Stay Away From Companies That Seek To Frighten You
You have a lot to deal with. You shouldn't have to contend with a business that endeavors to work with fright tactics to convince you. Excellent debt relief companies know that you must discover the appropriate method for yourself. You'd be wise to avoid any business that attempts to rush you into a decision.
3. Avoid Agencies With Upfront Charges
Though any consolidation company will naturally include some charges, you should not need to pay to apply. Avoid sketchy lenders that require application form fees.
4. Stay Away from Companies Which Promise Too Much
A debt consolidation provider won't be making massive promises and claims, particularly if they do not know much of your situation. You'd be smart to work with a business that gives information that is authentic.
5. Don't Forget The Fine Print Information
Don't sign something without reading through it. Too many folks make miscalculations with this. You need to watch for suspect errors and say something if you have questions. You need to have all your concerns responded to with full confidence before employing the business.
6. Consult the Better Business Bureau
Each of the alternatives on this site are A+ rated with the BBB, and that is necessary for any business that you think about using. This helps guarantee you make a strong decision.
7. Maintain Progression
Keep up with your progress as you repay your consumer debt. You can do this by phoning your debt collectors and ensuring they are getting payments. You'll only need to do this if you decide on debt negotiation.
Understanding Consumer bankruptcy
Going bankrupt is a last hope option which you should avoid if possible. Don't trust in the suggestion of a bankruptcy attorney who may tell you this method is superior to debt settlement. Keep in mind that the attorney wants your business. Filing bankruptcy has such a dreadful effect on your credit history and future that it must only be a last ditch effort when everything else fails.
Eliminating debt: On Your Way To your destiny
Sometimes consumers find themselves heavy indebted without having the ability to stop it. A lot of people struggle with unforeseen ordeals, such as accidents, lost careers, and poor health. Those that wind up in consumer debt through unpredictable circumstances can have a strong understanding concerning how to maintain their finances. Many people need further assistance in learning to organize their budget, monitor their monthly bills, and stay clear of spending too much. You need to improve from setbacks when moving forward with a good financial future, once you get rid of debt. When you are dedicated to finding out how to successfully regulate your finances, there are solutions to help you along. Many people become experts at personal financial planning via personal finance classes, for instance.

You will even learn to get prepared for retirement life. The programs are furthermore convenient and work around your schedule with web based options.

By harnessing our inner creativity, she believes we can break free of preconceptions and old habits or mindsets, embrace the present, express gratitude, and re-energize the everyday.
Climbing the ladder to recognition in the art world is a challenge for any artist. You definitely have an ability to see things that other artists have taken years of classroom experience to develop. That ability is what that holds the most potential for you! I would LOVE to see your artwork in NYC or greater markets someday!
Art touches the soul... art is communication. It reaches out from the canvas and passes through the eyes of the viewer right into his heart where it can leave an imprint of beauty that can make the spirit sing. Thank you for visiting. Jill Perla

MIAMI -- Dear Roger Goodell and DeMaurice Smith:
If you guys screw this up, we're going to make you tongue-clean the French Quarter streets after the New Orleans Saints' victory parade. Police horses included.
We're going to have you explain to each person inside and outside of Sun Life Stadium on Sunday evening why the Super Bowl might go away in 2012.
We're going to demand your resignations if you deprive us of this league, these Super Bowls and these kinds of moments. Can you imagine had a labor lockout cost us the football miracle known as the 2009 Saints?
Don't do it, fellas. Don't shut down the NFL because your greed glands became enlarged. If it's not broke -- and we know the owners' wallets are anything but broke -- don't fix it.
NFL commissioner Goodell and NFL Players Association executive director Smith saw what everyone saw Sunday night: a game, a Saints team and a history lesson to remember.
This was the Saints' first championship. It was their first anything involving the Lombardi Trophy.
Wait, that's not completely true. Less than four hours before kickoff, the Saints' Tracy Porter was sitting in a chair as his personal barber turned the cornerback's scalp into a work of art. He shaved out a Lombardi Trophy, the Superdome and SB 44 on Porter's head. A hair road ran from the Superdome to the trophy.
The whole thing cost Porter $40 "and a nice tip.'' So what if he missed the first team bus to the stadium. He was there in time to jump a Peyton Manning pass to Reggie Wayne, return it 74 yards for the game-clinching touchdown and instantly increase alcohol consumption in The Quarter tenfold.
"I have to say this team means more to the people of Louisiana than any team in the NFL,'' said Porter. "No one is behind this team as much as the people of New Orleans. They're just as much a part of this victory as we are.''
Hear that, Goodell and Smith? Your ridiculous posturing over revenue sharing threatens the very thing that helped sustain the city of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.
The Saints are partly responsible for New Orleans recovering its heart, its soul and its confidence. What Katrina took away, the Saints gave back.
"What can I say?'' said Saints quarterback Drew Brees, the Super Bowl MVP. "We played for so much more than just ourselves. We played for our city. We played for the entire Gulf Coast region. We played for the entire Who Dat Nation who was behind us every step of the way.''
Silly as it might sound, football matters to people. Matters more than it should sometimes. Other times -- such as it does in New Orleans -- it matters just the right amount. It revives. It puts a smiley face on a community. It makes believers out of doubters.
"Absolutely,'' said Brees. "Are you kidding me? I mean, four years ago, whoever thought this would be happening? We just all looked at one another and said, 'We're going to rebuild together. We're going to lean on each other.'''
Brees was talking about the Saints, but he could have been talking about New Orleans, too.
Goodell, this is what your NFL owners need to understand.
Smith, this is what your player constituency needs to comprehend.
Had there been a lockout this season, the Saints' season would have never existed. Their 31-17 Super Bowl upset would have never happened.
Think about it.
No Brees completing a Super Bowl-tying 32 pass attempts for 288 yards and two touchdowns. No poignant postgame moment of Brees holding his young son as the celebration unfolded.
No Jeremy Shockey TD moment. An injured (and soon-to-be ex-)New York Giant in 2007. A Super Bowl touchdown reception for the Saints in 2010.
No game-changing onside kick (and recovery) by the Saints to start the second half. So well-conceived was the play, that Thomas Morstead made sure that his last warm-up kick during halftime was a boomer toward the end zone. He wanted to lull the Colts into thinking an onside play was an impossibility.
No Sean Payton calling for the stunning onsider. No Payton going for it -- and missing -- on a fourth-and-goal at the Colts' 1 late in the first half.
No Porter interception return.
No Colts defensive end Dwight Freeney playing on one ankle.
No Colts running back Joseph Addai nearly breaking Saints safety Darren Sharper's ankle on a fake.
No Manning saying, "It's the Super Bowl. You never know how it's going to turn out.''
No Gregg Williams-conceived defense proving Manning right.
No upset.
No Colts center Jeff Saturday gracious in defeat. "Those guys played fantastic,'' said Saturday. "They deserved to be world champions.''
No Saints come marching home.
Think long and hard about what you do next, Goodell and Smith. What was here today -- a Super Bowl that meant something -- could be gone tomorrow.
Over money.
You want that to be your legacies?

This latest 'welcome aboard' is a hearty shout-out to AoM. I can only surmise from a quick glance at AoM's profile that he or she is a minis fan with eclectic tastes - nothing wrong in that then!. As always it is a privilege and a pleasure for me to see new names signing up as Followers, and it is also a helpful spur to continued blogging; so cheers to AoM, cheers to all the other Followers who signed up, and cheers to anyone who happens by.
On other business, I have started to acquire more bits and bobs for the swamp Tokens, so hopefully more on those in due course. I had hoped to get some painting done today(Riposte), however I got side-tracked so that did not happen. On the plus side, I finished the upcoming Battle Report (look for a post in eleven days!), and I finished a bit of non-gaming but gaming related writing that I had been working on for a few days. More on that when I can or cannot say more.

Five months after launch, the Nintendo Switch is alive and well. Not only is it currently outselling Xbox One and PlayStation 4 month over month, but the Switch eShop was recently graced with its 100th game. With roughly four and a half months left in 2017, there are still many great games on the horizon for Switch owners to enjoy. Here are our top five most anticipated Switch titles for the remainder of 2017.
5. Fire Emblem Warriors
Release date: Q3 2017
I've always been a fan of the Dynasty Warriors series (perhaps better referred to as Musou-style games) since Dynasty Warriors 2 on the PlayStation 2. Koei Tecmo has come up with many variations on this style of game, but only within the last few years has the developer teamed up with Nintendo to include Nintendo IP into the fold. 2014 gave us Hyrule Warriors on Wii U, and in 2016 we saw Hyrule Warriors Legends on 3DS. Now, Nintendo is giving the Musou treatment to the Fire Emblem series, and I couldn't be more excited for it. Hyrule Warriors was fun in its own right, but I think Fire Emblem Warriors will be more conducive to the lightly tactical, hack-n-slash gameplay offered up by the Dynasty Warriors series. We're likely to see characters from various games in the Fire Emblem series, and the fact the weapon triangle system will be included will certainly add an additional strategic layer that will help this title stand out from other Musou-style games.
4. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Release date: Q3 2017
Before you say "Hey! That's a six-year-old game! Get that off this list!," hear me out. Yes, Skyrim is a six-year-old game, but that doesn't mean it has nothing unique to offer on Switch. Not only will we be getting Link's green tunic, the Master Sword, and the Hylian Shield, but having a fully featured version of Skyrim on the go, to me, is worth purchasing the game a fourth time (I have it on Xbox 360, PC, and Xbox One). While it's safe to assume the Switch version of Skyrim won't be the Special Edition, just having a portable version of Skyrim will enable me to sink another inordinate number of hours into the game…and that's not even taking into consideration the added motion controls. One might argue that motion should have died with the Wii, but depending on how responsive it is, I may very well be interested in taking up sword and board with a new character, or trying to snipe an unsuspecting enemy with a bow using motion. Even if motion controls prove finicky, this is definitely a day-one purchase for me.
3. Nine Parchments
Release date: TBA 2017
Ever since the days of Champions of Norrath and Champions Return to Arms on PlayStation 2, I've been yearning for an isometric, couch co-op fantasy RPG, and I think I've found it in Nine Parchments. Though this title's combat focuses solely on magic (which I'm totally ok with), it looks diverse enough to warrant multiple play-throughs with different characters. Diablo 3 scratched that itch for a while, but its low difficulty curve somewhat mars the experience. In the case of Nine Parchments, we still don't have many details regarding whether or not co-op is drop in/drop out, local vs. online play, etc., but it looks to be the perfect game for Switch that I could easily see myself sinking many hours into.
2. Rocket League
Release date: Q4 2017
I've spent countless hours in Rocket League on PlayStation 4 (even though I tend to get in the way of my teammates more than anything—shoutout to @ncbjd), and when I first heard about the game coming to Switch, I lost my shit. This is the perfect game to port to Switch, and one I've been championing for a while now. Not only will the wicked ease of popping off the Joy-Cons for some immediate split screen action be great, but the portability factor of this game will be phenomenal. Just think: when you're at home, dock the Switch and play some online matches. Want to keep the game going in bed (or on the toilet)? That works too. And if you find yourself bored during a commute or on a flight, it works perfectly in offline mode. So far, people who've tried Rocket League on Switch say it feels like…well, Rocket League, and if that isn't the best kind of assurance, I don't know what is.
1. Super Mario Odyssey
Release date: October 27, 2017
No other game is more fitting at the number one spot than Super Mario Oddysey. Sure, it might not be the most original choice, but come on, doesn't it make the most sense? To be honest, I've been on somewhat of a media blackout on this game, since I don't want any story or gameplay moments spoiled for me. But, from what I've seen of the ridiculously named New Donk City and some of the early revealed gameplay mechanics, I'm assured it will have been worth the wait. We haven't seen a "proper" 3D Mario title the likes of Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario Galaxy in quite some time, so it's safe to say we're due for one, and Odyssey seems to fit the bill perfectly.
What do you think of this list? What are your top 5 Switch games for the remainder of 2017? Let us know in the comments below!

Not Me, Monday is back. Why? Because we are getting back to normal since Stellan is back home and we have so much to be thankful for. I always enjoy the Not Me, Monday's. So here is mine.
We had a very fun weekend. It was pretty eventful actually. Between baseball games, water parks, pool and birthday party. We were a busy little family.
However, it was NOT me that about puked in the pool, while I was floating Morgan around, because of what I just so did not really witness. I did not see this over weight man, sitting in a speedo with these sailor anchors all over it, up on the ledge of the rocks and waterfall. While his belly didn't look as though he was 20 months pregnant, he so was not leaning his head back to allow the water fall to run down over his face and body, as if he was posing for Sports Illustrated. And I swear (although, I normally don't!) the water that was running down over his face and his 20 month pregnant looking belly, his very own belly button so did NOT make its own water fall of it's own. Sigh! What do people think sometimes!!!
It so was not me, that almost puked in the pool.
While trying to get that image out of my head.... and now yours too. Here are some better appealing pictures for your view from our fun weekend.
Let's start with Friday night.
We had a group of 7 adults get together for dinner and bowling. We did eat at Benihana's as I mentioned in my last post. Although, I have to be honest here folks. This was my first time to experience a Benihana's, and I didn't really like it. The flavor wasn't very tasteful on all their dish items. The steak was a bit dry and the shrimp a bit chewing. I was so looking forward to dinner that night, only to have left with disappointment that it wasn't as good as I heard it to be.
Afterwards, we headed off to bowling, only to be told there was an hour wait. WHAT??
As it turned out, to the left side of the place, they had a 'bowling league' going on, so although there were about 10 open lanes. They were not allowed to place guest there on that side, so the very serious league bowlers could concentrate. Please!!!
So, we left and headed to another one that was sort of out in the ghetto. We didn't care, we just wanted to bowl. We ended up bowling for an hour and had a great time.
It totally was NOT ME, that bowled a whopping 44. Not Me!
After bowling and it being Val's birthday, and the fact that I got my friend Susan out with me for the night to get her mind off the recent loss of her mother last. We decided to go karaoke. Val, the karaoke queen, lead the way to this hole in the wall bar that she had visited once before.
And when I say "hole in the wall".... we ain't mess'n around folks. You walk in and it's the size of a small bus. When you walk in, you have to put on a gas mask just to breath and see through all the cigarette smoke. It was that awful.
We were all so shocked that we were actually in such a place. However, birthday girl Val REALLY wanted to sing, and Mark whom has says he also likes to Karaoke, but I have yet to hear or see him do it once in all the years I have known him, also wanted to sing. So we figured we would stay long enough to let them get in their one song each.
As we are all standing around and standing OUT in this crowd. Mark and Val search the books for their song to sing. While waiting, others that are already lined up to sing start singing. WOW! Is all I can say. You wouldn't think by looking at most of these folks, in such a small hole in the wall kind of place....these people rocked out some vocals. I was totally impressed and caught up in "awe" almost like the popular you tube video of the British American Idol, where Simon and the other judges, when shocked and amazed by that little old lady that sang "I Dreamed a Dream". Is that the name of that song? I can't remember.
I am very vocally challenged. I am toned death I think. I can't carry a tune to save my life. But man get me home on my own rock band and I will score in the high 90's even 100% on the mic (and I am talking about experienced and expert level here too).
Also while sitting there waiting for Val and Mark's turn, this lady and her group of folks came up to me and the other girls to introduce herself. She said we looked like 'cool' people and wanted to invite us over to join her group of 'cool people'. We smiled and accepted, trying to 'fit in' (which so wasn't possible in this place). We figured, these are nice folks, and we are nice folks so lets make some friends. So, I go over and introduce myself to the other 'cool people' and you can tell that they where either drunk or stoned out of their minds, with missing teeth, blood shot eyes and bottles of beer piled up on the table. Trying to not judge, and give them the benefit of the doubt that they are just good old folks here to have a good time like the rest of us.
All was going okay for the first 15 minutes, when all of the sudden the girl that brought us all together, walks up to me and says; "my old man just bet me $25.00 that I couldn't get a kiss from you." WHAT THE???
So, I try to play it cool because the last thing I want right now is to tick anyone off in this bar, although I don't really think anyone would want to mess with us considering the size of the men that walked in the door with us, and the one short guy in our group is an ex champion fighter. I am talking about extreme cage fighting champion. Then again, lets reference to the aforementioned, these folks probably were stoned, drunk or cracked up on something. They probably wouldn't be able to make any rational decisions even if they wanted to.
So to play it cool and not cause a fuss... I just said kindly to the girl "man I think you just lost $25.00 bucks girl." Because there was NO WAY in BLANK.... that I was allowing that 'bet' to take place. GROSS!!!! What do people think sometimes???
I mean, seriously??
Lets just say we were smothering in smoke and weird folk, so we couldn't wait it out any longer for Val and Mark to get up and sing. We were out of there and home for the night. This was such a reminder why we don't go out nor need to go out to clubs. It's just not fun. Don't get me wrong, we had a great time Friday night. Bars are not fun!
Get home, we pay the sitters and off to bed smelling like an ashtray. Nice!
Hang on, I am getting to the pictures.... its my blog, so I can ramble all I want here. Remember that! HA!
Saturday morning we get up and decided it was a beautiful day for a bike ride. While Morgan and I rode the bike, daddy jogged beside us. We love this stuff.
(My man and my girl! I love them so much!)
However, when daddy got back, he was seeing dead relatives it was that hot out, and his knee started to hurt really bad. Quickly putting ice on it, baby girl goes over to check him out and give daddy's 'boo-boo' a big kiss. I told you she is so sweet and loving. Love this girl.
Notice her adorable piggy's? Remember THIS post, the very first time I ever put piggy's in her hair? (Must see and compare!) This is now the second time I have done this and I can't get over how much fuller and longer they are. Her hair seems to be getting longer by the day and fast. So stink'in cute.
After lunch Morgan and I head down south to Hunter-Bunter's baseball game. It was a bit of a drive. We get there and man was it HOT. There was no shade provided, other than this little shade canopy that one of the other parents brought that allowed for Morgan and I to hang out under. When we left we are black from all the dirt, had shoes full of grass and dirt. Sweaty, gross and hot. Couldn't wait to get back home and in a nice cool bath/shower. Put baby girl down for a nap and chilled for the rest of the evening.
Sunday, another nice and beautiful morning. We agreed on going to the pool for an hour before heading to church at a later service, then off to a birthday party. Here are some pictures from the pool and birthday party.
This picture is of her little set up, while daddy was relaxed and read a book.
I took Morgan over to check out the kids water play area for the first time and she loved it.
Then daddy joined us in the pool and this normally happens.
Baby girl had such a good time she couldn't even stay awake in the car ride home of less than a half mile down the street.
We dressed up like twinkies, heading to the birthday party. My shirt says "love" and Morgan's says "I heart Me". This was the best picture possible when I am trying to get Morgan to look at the camera, and while directing daddy, one of the few people I know that just doesn't understand how to work a camera or take pictures period.... this was as good as it got.
In this picture she was standing for the longest time yet. She actually walked at this party. Now we just have to get her to keep walking. She is SO close!!!!
Then while I was at it here with posting all the pictures. Here are some pictures I took this morning of her getting to know her new potty chair.

Cradle Arc PLC (LON:CRA) shares ticked up in early trading Monday after it hailed a "vote of confidence" in its Mowana copper mine in Botswana following an extension to its working capital facility for the project.
The firm said its 60% owned subsidiary, Leboam Holdings, had secured a US$4mln extension from Fujax Minerals and Energy Limited, an Africa-focused raw materials supplier, which would be used for general working capital at the project.
READ: Cradle Arc jumps as it obtains loan facility to improve processing facilities at Mowana project
It follows news in October that the company had secured a US$2mln loan from its largest shareholder to create an inventory of spare parts and improve and rehabilitate the processing facilities at Mowana.
Kevin van Wouw, chief executive of Cradle Arc, said that the extension was "a vote of confidence in the Mowana operations" and ensured that the company had "sufficient headroom and contingency" as it sought to recommence its production ramp-up.
Cradle also updated on the performance of the project in the fourth quarter.
Mowana had produced 140 tonnes of contained copper (Cu) in October compared to the original forecast of 392 tonnes, mainly due to intermittent equipment breakdowns at its processing plant which had impeded production.
However, Cradle added that following a series of repairs stable production was expected for the remainder of the quarter, with final concentrate grades achieved in the period to date above forecast levels.
A mill reline, planned for the last week of November, was also expected to see throughput at the mill increase to 155 tonnes per hour.
Recent testing on the main ore body in the north pit had also confirmed around 2mln tonnes of ore that is currently accessible, with metallurgical flotation test work (a method of extracting minerals from ores) returning copper recoveries of over 76%.
Van Wouw said that key improvement and rehabilitation works at the processing plant had largely been completed, saying the group expected "steady improvement in performance of the project over the coming months".
Shares were up 1.2% at 0.8p.
