Tribal court dismisses suit seeking rest of $193 million settlement
NESPELEM — A tribal court this week rejected an attempt by Colville tribal members to compel their council to distribute the rest of a $193 million settlement to members.
On Tuesday, Colville Tribal Chief Judge Cynthia Jordan dismissed a complaint filed in May by Yvonne L. Swan and Colville Members for Justice. The judge ruled the tribal court lacked jurisdiction.
"I'm disheartened, but I'm not surprised," Swan said on Thursday.
Finalized in May, the settlement compensates the tribe for mismanagement…

Yes, I know, this gumbo is inauthentic. There's no seafood, there's no sausage, and there's not even any chicken. But that's the point of these Make It Meatless posts! How do you take something made with meat and make it vegetarian? Well, here's one lesson I've learned over the years: Don't be afraid to be a little inauthentic. I mean, it's just food. If your vegetarian gumbo tastes good, does it really have to be a perfect replication of the original? No! And when you get too tied up in trying to duplicate the flavors of the original recipe, I think it makes you enjoy cooking and eating a lot less. Enjoy your food for what it is!
Traditionally, gumbo is made with one of three ingredients: filé powder, okra, or roux. Since filé powder isn't something most people keep on hand, I decided to go with a roux, but I also added okra too because both were used in the recipe I adapted this from. However! I have tested this recipe without okra too, and it still works so if you're not big on okra, feel free to leave it out. Rather than sausage and chicken or faux sausage and chicken, I added kidney beans, zucchini, and mushrooms, so this stew is packed with veggie goodness.
A lot of the heat in gumbo comes from the andouille sausage; I used Cajun seasoning instead, which you can find at most grocery stores, and then we added hot sauce to each of our individual servings to our own liking. Cackalacky hot sauce, to be exact, which is a hot sauce from North Carolina made with sweet potatoes. You know, just to make things even more inauthentic. If you're not opposed to meatless sausage, Field Roast's Mexican Chipotle Sausage would be a great way to add some heat too—I'd slice it up and add it when the gumbo has finished cooking.
A veggie-packed meatless gumbo recipe, adapted from Williams-Sonoma's Chicken and Sausage Gumbo.
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 2 stalks celery, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes
- 1 (15-ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
- 8 oz. white mushrooms, quartered
- 1 small zucchini, cut into thick half moons
- 1 cup frozen sliced okra
- 2 tablespoons vegetarian worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon cajun seasoning
- 1 bay leaf
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Hot sauce and cooked rice, for serving
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic and cook until softened and just beginning to brown, 8-10 minutes. Transfer veggies to a 4-6 quart slow cooker.
- Return the Dutch oven to the stovetop and heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in it. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until it's golden brown, about 4 minutes. Pour in the broth and bring to a boil; once the broth has come to a boil, transfer it to the slow cooker. Add all of the remaining ingredients to the slow cooker except the hot sauce and cooked rice.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours. Once the gumbo has finished cooking, remove the bay leaf and add more salt and pepper to taste if needed. Serve over rice with hot sauce.

Prenatal and Postpartum Support Childbirth Education - Parenting Classes Placenta Preparation - Newborn Care
A Doula recognizes that women have the power to birth and assists the mother in accessing her own "Mother Nature" throughout the childbearing year. A doula also provides emotional support, physical comfort measures, an objective viewpoint and assistance in getting the information she needs to make empowered decisions throughout her pregnancy, birth and postpartum.
Why Should You Hire A Doula?
Having a doula helps make childbirth a positive experience. When birthing your baby is a positive experience it increases feelings of empowerment, both as a woman and as a mother. It also affects your relationship with your child and partner in a positive manner, as well. Hiring a Doula helps you and your family through this amazing transition by providing unconditional support.
An Angel Doula will provide you with all of the tools you'll need to allow you to make the most informed choices with regard to your pregnancy, delivery and infant feeding. A common misconception about Doulas is that they discourage the use of pain medication in labor.
At Touched By An Angel, we realize that this is YOUR birth experience and it should be the way YOU want it. When you hire an Angel Doula, you receive unconditional support for all of your decisions.
Types of Doulas -
Birth Doula
Our services are customized to the needs of the birthing mom and her support team. Emotional Support is often defined by helping create a birth plan that includes a woman's unique communication style and gives her confidence in voicing her needs. Physical comfort measures can include: massage, labor positions, hydrotherapy, optimal fetal positioning, aromatherapy, acupressure, deep relaxation and visualization techniques. Advocacy includes helping a woman to resource the community of birth services and facilitating her birth plan into action.
Postpartum Doula
When a child is born, a family is born. The doula's role is to help the family to find a harmonious new sense of normal with baby. Nurturing mama with physical and emotional comfort measures, while assisting her with discovering her babies cues, breastfeeding, light house-keeping and help around the house. Overnight support, support of families with multiples, and sibling care are also available.
Here are some of the statistical benefits of hiring a doula:

You know what they say: When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. But what they don't say is that while a straight-up glass of old-school lemonade is one of summer's best drinks, sometimes, getting a little "twisted" is just what you need.
Robb Garceau, Executive Chef at Great Performances, an award-winning catering company in New York City, shares three of his "unusual" recipes with HealthySELF, below. But first, his tips for both cutting the calories and serving up extra-delicious lemonade this summer:
- Use more herbs and less sugar — they're more nuanced and bring out so many different notes of flavor in spirits and ripe citrus. Your drinks will actually taste more well-balanced.
- Go seasonal — infuse ripe fruit in your sugar base (if using one). Seasonal fruit has so much natural sugar that adding any other sweetener is many times unnecessary.
- Lemonades are great for the young ones, but you can easily make a grown-up punch by adding rum, vodka or other spirits to any lemonade recipe.
- Using larger ice cubes keeps the lemonade cold, but they melt slower than small cubes, thus avoiding natural dilution of your concoction.
- Use garnishes when possible — they add color and a fun visual element to a pitcher or glass, and also continue infusing natural flavors into the lemonade as you drink.
4 cup water plus another 2 cups to add later
1/2 cup dried jicama flowers
1/2 cup agave nectar
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
1 cup lime juice
Bring 4 cups of water to a boil and then remove from heat. Add the jicama flowers, agave nectar and 1/4 cup mint. Steep for one hour and strain. Pour into a pitcher and add the lime juice, remaining 2 cups water and remaining mint. Stir and serve over ice. For an alcoholic version, add 1 oz. vodka per person.
Lemon Verbena and Watermelon Lemonade
Serves 4-6
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup water
1/4 cup fresh lemon verbena leaves (kaffir lime leaves or mint and lime zest combined work here, too)
1 small seedless watermelon, cut into chunks with rind removed
3 cups fresh lemon juice
In a small saucepan, bring the honey, sugar and water to a boil to dissolve the sugar. Remove from heat and add the lemon verbena leaves. Allow to completely cool, then strain.
Add the watermelon chunks to a blender, and puree until smooth, then strain. In a large pitcher, combine the honey/sugar syrup to taste (approximately 1/4-1/2 cup), watermelon juice and lemon juice. Stir to combine and serve over ice. Garnish with a lemon verbena leaf.
Frozen Pineappleade
Serves 4-6
7 oz. fresh coconut water (available at health food stores)
8 oz. fresh squeezed orange juice
1 cup diced pineapple
1/3 cup honey
1 oz. St. Germaine (elderflower liqueur)
3 oz. white rum
2 cups ice
1 orange, cut into wedges
Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth and frothy. Serve in a chilled glass immediately and garnish with an orange wedge.

If you rewound back to the mid-2000s when Roc-A-Fella Records was king, you'd probably be surprised if someone surveyed the label's landscape and concluded that, of all the talent under Jay-Z and Dame Dash's wings, Freeway would wind up carving out the most consistent solo career. But against the odds that's exactly what happened, with the Jake One collaboration Stimulus Package sitting atop the whole package as certification that Freeway could craft one of a year's great releases. But it's one thing to capture that muse when you're collaborating with one dude on an incredibly focused label like Rhymesayers and quite another to try and rewind the clock to 2005 on Babygrande. A lot has changed about the hip-hop landscape since then, and the bid for radio play that Diamond in the Ruff has ended up being can't shine a harsh enough light on that fact. Freeway's delivery is as powerful as it ever was, but his actual content is more Philadelphia Freeway 2 than Philadelphia Freeway, and people he's brought along with him give Diamond in the Ruff a slightly stale feel, like bread that's been out of the bag a little longer than it ought to have been.
You could definitely be forgiven for not getting that feeling right away, though. "Right Back" opens the album the way those Roc-A-Fella albums we're all nostalgic for did, with a mid-tempo boom bap beat from Jake One anchored by an R&B hook. Marsha Ambrosius slays that, her vocals might have never sounded crisper. While Freeway says some pretty odd things through the track (seriously, "Fab say he the best that ever twitted? / Well I'm the hottest spitter that ever Googled"?) overall his exasperated flow combined with the beat's atmosphere creates a very earnest, aspirational vibe. It's a great start because the track makes Freeway out to be an artist worth rooting for. Unfortunately, "Greatness" follows with a hi-tempo Dipset-mixtape type of track from Incredible Stro, who also handles "Jungle" late in the album's runtime, and it just hangs there. Six of the 16 tracks on Diamond in the Ruff bring along an R&B vocalist to sell the hook, and while one out of three may not sound like an appalling ratio, it's certainly a drag to have two of them right at the beginning when Freeway is generally at his best when he gets to go off on his own for four minutes. Or four of them crammed into the first six tracks.
This is probably why "The Thirst" and "No Doubt" are the album's two high points. "The Thirst" teams Freeway with Jake One again and feels like it just came at the wrong time otherwise it would have been right at home on Stimulus Package. And "No Doubt" is just a fun, Mr. Bangladesh-style banger that reminds folks Freeway was signed to Cash Money Records for like a month in 2009. It's not always fun to hear rappers who are clearly designed for a certain aesthetic try and keep up with the times (see: LL Cool J, "Rachet") but Freeway pulls it off finely if not stunningly. But both times their momentum gets cut a bit short by "Wonder Tape", which is just annoying musically with its faux-cheap aesthetic and "Dream Big", a Bink! joint that feels he forgot 2003 happened already. By no means a poor song on its own merits, it's just not a very surprising one either. You've heard this song one way or another on plenty of low and high budget east coast rap albums over the years, and it hasn't gotten any less mechanical this time around.
The middle-section is probably the most nostalgia-driven point of the album. "Early" follows with a Just Blaze joint that very easily could have appeared on Cam'ron's Purple Haze. Again, it's a perfectly well done song on the strength of itself, there's just not necessarily anything memorable about it, either. As the album forges onward over the last 30 minutes, the feeling starts to settle in that the same could be said of Freeway's rhymes. His delivery is still one of my ten personal favorites but he's just not getting at much here from a songwriting perspective. "Hottest Akhi" is a thoroughly confusing song both linguistically and logically, at least until you remember the "ock" trend from the early 2000s that came out of Roc-A-Fella's spotlight on Philly culture. "Numbers" might play the part convincingly, and it's always fun to see Neef (of the old Young Gunz duo) pop his head up, but ultimately you're listening to two Philly veterans play Meek Mill karaoke. Even Jake One, DJ Khalil and Bink! can't seem to lift Diamond in the Ruff's rudderless, bloated second half. "True" is a Wale-collab lovers track that doesn't go far enough in its slight go-go aspirations, opting instead for limp professionalism. And "All the Hoods" may be the worst Bink! Dog joint to come around in a minute, instantly displaying everything wrong with that sort of R&B-driven schlock.
Diamond in the Ruff, despite its best efforts, can't help but feel like it just had to exist. It's one of those rap albums that's disappointing as often as slightly engaging, and oftentimes is hard to pinpoint exactly what's letting you down. If I could sum this album up in one line, it'd be Freeway's "Call us Domino's Pizza 'cause we bring it" on outstanding dud "All the Hoods" (the chorus? "I deliver it just like chicken & gravy, just like chicken & gravy, just like chicken & gravy," for some reason). Domino's Pizza certainly delivers, that much is infallible – but are you really that excited about getting anything from Domino's? Or are you just tired of being hungry? Freeway's proven he can do a lot better than the Domino's of Philly rappers, but Diamond in the Ruff really isn't the evidence that proves it, sadly.

Plague Confirmed in Oregon Man Bitten by Stray Cat
The unidentified Prineville, Ore., man was in critical condition on Friday. He is suffering from a blood-borne version of the disease that wiped out at least one-third of Europe in the 14th century — that one, the bubonic plague, affects lymph nodes.
There is an average of seven human plague cases in the U.S. each year. A map maintained by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that most cases since the 1970s have been in the West, primarily the southwest.
Central Oregon health officials don't blame the cat.
"The reality is that, in rural areas, part of the role of cats is to keep the rodent population controlled around our homes and barns" said Karen Yeargain of the Crook County Health Department.
This article says it isn't clear whether the cat or the mouse bit the man:
The Black Death Returns: Oregon Man in Critical Condition with the Plague
The unidentified Oregonian, in his 50s, fell ill from the disease on June 2 when he tried to grab a mouse away from a cat. It is unclear which of those two animals bit his hand.

- For the place in California, see Merienda, California.
Merienda is a light meal[1] in Southern Europe, particularly Spain, Portugal (lanche), Italy (merenda), Slovenia and Croatia (marenda), as well as Hispanic America and the Philippines. Usually taken in the afternoon or for brunch, it fills in the meal gap between the noontime meal and the evening meal, being the equivalent of afternoon tea; or between breakfast and lunch. It is a simple meal that often consists of a piece of fruit, cookies, yogurt, and other snacks paired with juice, hot chocolate, coffee, spirits, or other beverages.
It is typical for Argentines, Paraguayans and Uruguayans to have merienda or "tea" around 5pm, between the midday meal and supper. It generally consists of an infusion (tea, mate, coffee, mate cocido, etc.) and a baked snack (scones, bread, toasts, cake, facturas, etc.), usually accompanied with dulce de leche, honey, butter or jam. North Americans may consider this light meal a kind of "second breakfast."
In the Philippines, merienda (Filipino: meryenda or minandál) is a generic term encompassing two light meals: the first is a morning snack that may correspond to either brunch, elevenses, or second breakfast; the second one is the equivalent of afternoon tea.[2] Merienda taken in the early evening around sunset just before or in place of dinner is meanwhile distinctly referred to as merienda cena.[3] Broadly, merienda is any sort of dish or snack in a portion smaller than the traditional "full meal" consisting of rice and a complimentary viand (unless the merienda is taken as brunch or merienda cena), coupled with either a cool or hot drink (usually coffee). Common fare may be sweet or savoury, ranging from breads, pastries, noodles, halo-halo, "champorado"and even delicacies such as balút.
In coastal parts of Croatia and Slovenia, it is called marenda, a meal eaten between breakfast and lunch.[4] Usually it is a light snack, like sandwiches or toast, eaten during a work break.
French speaking countries will refer to a "Goûter" for this 4 PM light meal.

I was looking at some science tattoos, and one was of 'The Golden Spiral' which depicts the Fibonacci sequence in graphic form.

ContinueHello, Mark. I have a question about your atheist logos that I'd like to ask you about. Please accept my request so that I can send you a message.
Hi Marc,
I used your fantastic A logo within a logo design for my own website. I credited you, as you requested, here: http://liberalgeek.com/content/liberal-geek-logo-information
I have a CafePress store where I try to sell various Atheist or Skeptic shirts and I wanted to toss my Liberal Geek logo up there, but you requested that your logo not be sold. I wanted to ask you if it would be ok with you if I sell shirts with my Liberal Geek logo even though it includes your Atheist A logo. It's just a small part of my Liberal Geek logo, but I don't want to use your artwork in ways that you don't want it used.
Let me know what you think. Thanks!
You caught me before I could send you a proper message! Thank you for the beautiful design. I plan to give you credit whenever someone asks about it. I'm extremely proud :)
Oops! Sorry.
Hi Mark,
Sorry, thought the image was public domain. To answer your earlier question - here is a page that can tell you how to copyright your images. http://www.ehow.com/how_5078848_copyright-image.html

Thanks for the add Marc. It will be my first tattoo !! Decided I must get one before the big 50 (in a few years). However I am an outspoken Atheist and with it I can talk about Atheism, Physics and our little blue dot. I will post a photo soon.
Hey Marc!!! Thanks for the add!!!
Hi Marc,

Herald Scotland: Venus Seeks More Glory
Published June 28, 2014 12:11
Though she will be 35 by the time the 2015 Wimbledon begins, expect Venus Williams to be on the grass courts at the All-England Club once again.
Martina Navratilova and Kimiko Date-Krumm both played in this event well past that age, and Williams seemed to have her confidence boosted by her narrow third round loss to Petra Kvitova on Friday.

Dr. Peter "Pete" Wilder is a character on the Grey's Anatomy spin-off Private Practice. He is portrayed by actor Tim Daly.[1]
Character history[edit]
Season One[edit]
Pete works at the Oceanside Wellness Center as a naturopathic doctor and licensed herbalist. He graduated from medical school and practiced traditional western medicine for a number of years before spending five years in China studying alternative medicine. Pete's medical practice combines eastern and western medicine in an integrative approach, and he is often asked to provide expectant mothers with holistic birthing plans.[2] Pete has also lectured locally and internationally on the subject of Oriental and Eastern Medicine.[2]
During Dr. Addison Forbes Montgomery's first visit to Oceanside Wellness, Pete and Addison establish a teasing and often flirtatious relationship. Addison initially labels Pete a "quack," but she allows the "cute hippy boy" to treat her with acupuncture. Although Pete is immediately attracted to her, he promises their mutual friend, Dr. Sam Bennett, that he will stay away from Addison. However, after finding Addison crying over her newly discovered infertility, Pete kisses her to prove that she isn't "dried up." Addison seems open to pursuing a relationship with Pete, but is warned off by Sam. According to Sam, Pete is a serial monogamist, unable to emotionally connect with any woman since the death of his wife. Pete's last foray into office romance was apparently disastrous, and resulted in the unnamed OB/GYN's sudden departure from the practice. In response, Oceanside Wellness instituted a strict "no consorting" rule.
Pete's relationship with his wife is somewhat mysterious and he appears reluctant to discuss their marriage. During a visit to her grave on the anniversary of her death, we discover Anna Wilder died in 2001, at the age of 40. (In "The Other Side of This Life," Sam stated that Pete's wife had died eight years prior. However, in a subsequent interview, Tim Daly said that there is some confusion as to whether Anna died six or eight years prior, which was finally decided to be six years prior.) In a discussion regarding a patient, Pete hints to the other doctors that he stayed in an unhappy marriage because his wife was sick, and that they were unable to make the marriage work. Pete eventually tells Addison that he went to bed with his wife on a Tuesday night and when he awoke the following Wednesday morning, she was dead. He further states that no night was perfect during their marriage, not even their wedding night. This information was the most that Pete has ever divulged to any of his co-workers about his wife. During a second visit to his wife's grave, Pete unleashes his pent-up anger to his wife's headstone. After stating that Anna was "a mean, cold bitch" and that he hated her, Pete softens and apologizes for not being able to save her. Pete later reveals to Violet that at the time of Anna's death, they had been trying to conceive a child.
Season Two[edit]
In the fourth episode, a mysterious woman from Pete's past appears in the clinic and reveals surprising facts about his past. Meg Porter (played by Jayne Brook) is a Doctors Without Borders physician and Pete's former lover. They met when they were both residents and later worked together with Doctors Without Borders. Meg reveals to Pete's surprised co-workers that once, during the war in Bosnia, Pete (whom Meg calls Peter) refused to evacuate and, despite the mortar fire, stayed with sick children for the whole night saving the lives of most of them. Later Pete told Meg, who has a smoking habit, that his wife was a smoker and she didn't quit the habit before she died. Despite their renewed relationship, Meg decides to go back to Ghana, where she works in an anti-malaria program, but Pete asked her to come back to him because she makes him happy. Meg returned later to L.A. and even tried to give up smoking for Pete, but despite that, the relationship didn't work. Meg wasn't sure if she wanted to live in L.A., and Pete admitted that ever since his unhappy marriage he doesn't trust women anymore. When Pete and his Oceanside Wellness Center colleague Violet hooked-up, the relationship with Meg was definitely over.
The relationship with Violet started with just sex, but Pete later realized that he wanted more. When he asked Violet if they could move to the next level and begin a real relationship, she turned him down, saying she doesn't trust him because of his past. But it was Violet's behavior that really put an end to things when she started secretly dating Sheldon, the therapist from the rival practice, The Pacific Wellcare. Pete ended their relationship because of Violet's infidelity. Afterward, Violet reveals to both Pete and Sheldon she's pregnant, and was willing to raise the child, but preferred to ignore who the father is. In the Season Two finale, Pete confronts Violet and says that he loves her and they could be a real family. Violet turns him down, but later she kisses him and confesses her feelings towards him. In the end, Violet's patient, Katie, thinks Violet's baby is her own. Katie kidnaps Violet's baby, ending the finale as a cliffhanger.
Season Three[edit]
Season Three starts just twenty minutes after the Season Two finale, when Pete finds Violet lying unconscious on the floor of her house, bleeding to death. Katie cut the baby out of Violet and ran away with him. Pete saves Violet and, together with Naomi, rushes her to hospital, where Addison and Naomi perform surgery on her. In the meantime, Katie appears in the hospital with Violet's baby, and is apprehended by Pete, Cooper, and the security team.
While waiting in the hospital during Violet's surgery, Pete thinks back to their first meeting. They met just four days after Pete's wife death when Sam and Naomi, Pete's friends who had just opened their private practice, recommended that Pete see Violet for therapy. Pete at first was reluctant to talk with Violet, but he finally opened up to her and admitted that he hated his wife and argued with her all the time, even the night she died. The next morning, he continued yelling at her when he woke up and only a few minutes later he noticed that she wasn't answering because she was dead. Pete admitted that he was relieved after his wife's death and felt free. After that. Pete, who owned an Infectious Diseases practice in Beverly Hills, decided to change his job, and started working in Oceanside Wellness Centre as an Alternative Medicine specialist, where he still works eight years later.
A month after the Season Three premiere, Violet is still trying to recover and get over her trauma. Pete lives with her and takes care of her and the baby, Lucas. Violet is not leaving her house and has panic attacks every time the doorbell rings. After getting advice from Sheldon, Pete decides to move out, to help Violet recover and push her to go outside. Violet realizes that after the traumatic events in her life, she can't bond with her baby. She gives Lucas to Pete to care for.
A couple of weeks later, Sheldon requests a paternity test and it is revealed that Pete is the biological father. Pete continues to be a single father and takes care of Lucas, hoping that some day Violet will come back to him and be able to bond with their child. To give Violet more space and time to recover, Pete decided to leave his job in Oceanside Wellness and accept Naomi's offer to work as physician in Pacific Wellcare.
When Pete found out that Violet slept with Addison's father, he was so hurt, that he declared it the definite end of their relationship. Later on Pete forgave Violet, but she still wasn't ready to move on and re-unite with Pete and their son, Lucas, who was already 6 months old. After that Pete and Addison started a "friends with benefits" relationship together.
Pete and Addison eventually took their relationship further, becoming a real couple. They pursued this even after Violet had returned and was ready for a real relationship with Pete and Lucas. In the Season Three finale, Addison tells Pete that he should be with Violet, and he seems to initiate a newfound relationship with Violet again.
Season Four[edit]
In the Season Four premiere, Pete popped the question to Violet after a morning of passion. The wedding was set for the following weekend. Violet bolted from the ceremony halfway down the aisle, but was wordlessly convinced by Pete to come back and the two were wed. In the Season Four finale, Violet finds out that her license is being suspended and Pete tells her that maybe they should split. The final scene of Season Four shows Pete, alone with Lucas, having a heart attack with no one around to help him.
Season Five[edit]
No one is around to help Pete. Cooper arrives and finds him unconscious. He's rushed to the hospital where Sam and Amelia work to save his life. Violet returns shocked at what has happened. Pete has an emergency quadruple bypass. Amelia operates on him under the influence. The surgery is a success. Afterwards, everything seems fine between Violet and Pete until Pete begins lashing out at Violet and she becomes his verbal punching bag and he offers her no support as she struggles to return to the practice. Sheldon becomes Pete's unofficial therapist. Pete begins treating Violet as though he hates her. Sheldon warns him that he will lose her and Lucas if he continues this behavior. Violet and Pete try to make it work but Violet doesn't want him to hate her as he did hate his deceased wife. The two agree to amicably separate.
Season Six[edit]
In the season premiere Violet is left wondering where Pete is as his court date has arrived and he was not there. Throughout the episode Violet and the rest of the practice debate whether he has fallen into some trouble or he decided to make a run for it. The only clue available is a text message from Pete to Violet stating, "Went for a run. Whatever happens... know that I LOVE YOU!" Speculation flies as Violet considers whether Pete meant a jog or a flight out of the country. In the last minutes of the episode it is revealed by Violet in a conversation with Cooper that police have informed her Pete had fallen off a hill while on a run and suffered a fatal heart attack. Since he was out of immediate sight help was not able to arrive on time and he died. Violet is in shock, stating she could hardly believe it was Pete and she did not know how to break the news to their three-year-old son. Per his will, Pete's body is cremated and he insists on a party rather than a funeral. At the event, Violet hears various people talk of how Pete saved their lives or helped family members, Violet having a difficult time dealing with it, including getting high in the bathroom. She tries to celebrate with singing but breaks down to scream over Pete leaving her and their son alone.
- Pete rode a Triumph motorcycle.
- Before settling on the name Pete Wilder, the creators of the show considered and rejected "Pete Finch" and "Pete Fisher."[3]

And in good news…here's an awesome group photo of us HealtheVoices patient/health advocates with a gorgeous view of Manhattan in the background. What an inspiring group of people! Can you spot me?
(Hint, I'm short)
I'm in Brooklyn, New York right now, trying to figure out what the hell I'm doing. And why I'm doing it again. I had a really awful day yesterday, mostly because of my health insurance company in Minnesota admitting that they gave me completely WRONG information regarding me having health coverage here in New York City. It's a long story and I'm too tired to go into it now, but basically I'm stranded here without health care. And my rheumatologist in Minneapolis is in China now for two weeks, so it's pretty difficult to reach him. I'm working with his nurse though. Hopefully another doctor can help me.
So, ah, just saying hi from New York. I'm alive…barely! ha ha. Prayers, good thoughts, etc, are very welcome right now. I need them. I was crying my eyes out for hours yesterday. :(
More soon!
I just attended an incredible conference in Jersey City, NJ comprised of health bloggers and advocates from all over the country, who all suffer from different chronic diseases. Wow! What a weekend! I'm sad it's over, but so happy to have been a part of it. I have a lot of blogging and photo updating to do from this weekend (and in general), and I will post more here ASAP about the conference. I just want to write a little something right now before I head to my next adventure….which is MOVING TO BROOKLYN, NEW YORK! Yikes! More on that soon, too.
If you're interested, you can look up #HealtheVoices15 on Twitter for lots of photos and posts about the conference. Health advocates coming together with experience that spans across MANY diseases and conditions is a pretty powerful thing.
About a month or so ago I began participating in an ongoing patient research study about RA called YourCareMoments. How it works is I basically fill out a short survey after each time I see my rheumatologist or get RA prescriptions filled at the pharmacy or have any kind of RA-related treatment. The feedback from the surveys is then used by YourCareMoments to help inform pharmaceutical companies about what's going on with patients who have RA–their experiences and opinions regarding doctor appointments, getting their RA medications, starting new medications. I do receive a small monetary compensation each time I complete a survey (about $6-7 per survey), which is nice, but what I really like about the program is that pharmaceutical companies are getting feedback directly from the patients who use their products. I think this is one good way to help bridge the gap that exists between patients and the huge pharmaceutical industry (which often has a bad reputation for not being very patient-friendly).
The pharmaceutical companies need to hear from patients and hear what the experiences are in their daily lives living with RA. Because RA is such an unpredictable and ever-changing disease, and it's very specific from person to person, I believe it's important for as many voices to be heard as possible, and that's why I support this program. I want pharma to know what it's like when I have my rheumatology appointments. I want them to know the hassle I sometimes have trying to get certain medications. They need to know that access to care and treatment and medications is often very difficult for RA patients. So! I want to let you, my readers, know that I'm participating in this program and I would like to extend a friendly invitation to anybody else who has RA who would also like to participate. So far I've had nothing but good experiences taking the surveys and working with YourCareMoments. It's easy, convenient, and fast–I recommend getting involved if you have a few extra minutes to spare each week/month.
You can register to start receiving surveys by going here:
Please contact Keith Olsen (who is extremely nice and helpful!) if you have any questions about participating:
Keith Olsen
Here are some quick facts and FAQs about the YourCareMoments program:
Zitter Health Insights is a specialized business intelligence firm that provides insights to biopharmaceutical manufacturers and health insurance companies related to the affordability of and access to medications. The project, YourCareMoments, provides insights into consumer habits, decisions and health care experiences. This is done through short online surveys that are sent to registered patients. Once they register, emails are sent with links to participate in the surveys. Surveys average about 5-10 minutes to complete and participants are paid per survey. The surveys can be completed on your computer or mobile device. YourCareMoments keeps in contact with each participant over time to follow when he/she will next see a doctor or pick up a prescription in order to survey the participants while the information is still fresh in their minds. Also, these are anonymous surveys so the patients never need to worry about their identities being shared–they will never be asked for their names or addresses.
How long are the surveys?
Surveys average around 5-10 minutes for completion.
How much money do participants make?
The amount of money earned depends on the type and length of the survey. Patients/registrants are informed how much each survey will earn before they take a survey.
What does YourCareMoments Insights do with the research?
The research is received and analyzed by YourCareMoments. The data is then sold to bio-pharmaceutical companies to help them gain insight to patient healthcare experiences, opinions and habits.
Is YourCareMoments contracted with any pharmaceutical companies?
YourCareMoments works with pharmaceutical companies, but they are not working directly for any specific company or drug.
Will YourCareMoments ever sell or share email addresses?
YourCareMoments will never sell or share participants' email addresses, and they ensure that all information participants share is safe.
How are participants paid?
Because participants are never asked for names and addresses, they are paid via PayPal within 2-3 business days.
What are some of the questions in the surveys?
Examples include: What medications are you currently taking for your medical condition? Did the doctor prescribe you any new medications or increase your current medication dosage during your visit? Please describe your level of satisfaction with the amount of information provided about your new prescription, etc.
Who can sign up for the program?
Participants must be 18 years or older and living in the United States.
I finally finished editing the photos I took at The Walk to Cure Juvenile Arthritis a couple weekends ago. The event is an annual 5k walk that brings out tons of people to raise money to help find a cure for Juvenile Arthritis and support the kids and families who live with the disease. This was my fifth year photographing the walk for my local Arthritis Foundation chapter, and as always, it was great to see all of the people who participated in the event and to be surrounded by so many people who are dedicated to and passionate about arthritis advocacy.
Here's a link to the photos if you're interested:
Walk to Cure Juvenile Arthritis 2015
I, myself, was diagnosed with RA when I was 18 (although I started having symptoms at age 17), so I was on the cusp of juvenile vs adult rheumatoid arthritis. My pediatrician gave me a preliminary diagnosis and immediately sent me to see an adult rheumatologist who I stayed with for the next 10 years. During the end of my teen years and into my 20s, I lived a very isolated and lonely life regarding my RA. I didn't know any other teenagers or college-age people with the disease and spent these young years battling the physical and emotional pain essentially alone. To say it was hard would be a big understatement.
Volunteering at the walk this year, like the previous years, it made me feel happy to see all of these young people and their families coming together to support each other, and to nurture the friendships and relationships they've made over the years, as well as forming new ones. It breaks my heart to think of little kids having to deal with the intense, debilitating pain of RA, but I do feel better knowing that many of them are not alone.
Well, maybe I shouldn't have said something so soon. Sadly and frustratingly, I'm back on prednisone–5 mg. My right foot and ankle are flaring up again (seriously, what is WRONG with THAT foot and ankle?!). I see my rheumatologist on Thursday so we'll see what he says about it.
And in other painful health news, I've been battling a bad case of gastritis (I think) for over a week. Thanks to omeprazole (Prilosec), and an anti-nausea drug, and severely limiting my diet, it seems to be getting better. What relief! The constant nausea (with some vomiting) and stomach pain has been so horrible. But on the bright side, I have been losing weight. This isn't exactly the weight loss plan I had imagined for myself, however. Another good forced diet change: no Diet Coke or caffeine!
And in GOOD NEWS, I went on my first bike ride a couple days ago! I had to make a few stops and take breaks (I'm weak from sickness and not eating hardly anything and not exercising all winter), but it felt so good. It was a lot colder out today so I chickened out, but I hope to go on another ride very soon.
I've been off of prednisone for THREE DAYS now! Whooo!
Three days isn't long, but it's exciting nonetheless. Let's hope I can continue to stay off of it.
Goodbye, chubby round face. Goodbye, neck lump. Goodbye, anxiety and mood swings. Goodbye, bone damage.

Last night we went to the opening night of this new restarant - Saffron - in Puerto Mogan. Its just along from Waypoint, on the esplanade on the beach.
Their concept is a 'fusion of mediterrnean cooking' and as the owners and chefs are Egyptian and Spanish I was very excited about how the food was going to be.
We were given a series of taster plates - hummous, tapanade, stuffed squid, prawns done in various ways and then the main course was a barbeque on your table.
Ceramic bowls with charcoal in a metal bowl inside, with a grill on top. Your mini meat/fish/ prawn kebabs arive cooked but you warm them through or cook them more, if you wish on your own barbeque. Spiced rice and salad came too. Dessert was a warm melon (strange i know, but very tasty) filled with icecream and sauces.
All in all a lovely meal and something very different to the usual. I didnt see the normal menu and so dont know the prices but were told the prices were reasonable.

Alfred is a fresh new app promises to help you "never miss places you love." So, what does that mean exactly? Well, friend, I'm glad you asked.
There's no shortage of Android app that promise to help you learn about or discover new places — from social apps to Google Maps (we're rhyming here folks). For most people, Google Maps is a sufficient solution since most of us only give a damn about "places" when we want something, like a local Thai restaurant or the closest Five Guys.
Alfred though bill itself as a curator of sorts for places. I should also note that "curation", as a concept, is absolutely one of those in-style Internet buzzwords that will fade away in a few years. In fact, I want you to delete that word from your lexicon for the next few minutes and simply replace it with recommendation. Yes. That's what Alfred is — a recommendation app.
So how does Alfred know what to recommend? Well, Alfred asks you a series of questions related to the places you like to eat and using feedback from other users to guess other places you might like to eat. This presents two seemingly strange issues. First, Alfred is about restaurants and, maybe, coffee and booze. It is an app completely devoted places that allow you to stuff your face with something, which is a far cry from the general location recommendation app that Alfred seems tout itself as.
Second, the questions are often stupid. Seemingly no choice that I selected resulted in anything other than the Olive Garden, which blows ass, and Ruth Chris, which is as expensive as ass, as the two choices. No, Alfred, I'd like not like to include the cheapest place I took dates to in college nor do I want the opposite extreme. I mean, is there anyone who wouldn't like Ruth Chris? No. The answer is no.
I am being overly harsh because part of the design of Alfred is that you can "teach" it about your favorite places so that it doesn't make these types egregious errors. Learning, just like in real life, takes time, so expect to spend a little time with this app to make sure provides recommendations that are actually good.
The fact remains that, while cute, Alfred is a stupid, stupid app… until you teach it otherwise.
So is Alfred a terrible app? Does that what it sounds like? Well, I'll tell you straight up — it isn't. Alfred's saving grace is that it is simple to use and meant to be a recommendation and suggestion app. Do you always love what people recommend? Of course not — so don't expect to love all of Alfred's recommendations anymore than you love all of the songs that Pandora selects for you.
Again, I give major point to Alfred for making this app simple and well-designed. In fact, I'd say it might be one of the sexiest apps I've ever reviewed. Put all these things together and you get an app that does provide good recommendations once you've spent some time to tell it what you like.
Free: Alfred
Its not my first time to visit this website, i am just

How do you navigate the bumpy road to retirement? I addressed that issue recently when I spoke with Anne Thompson of NBC Nightly News. (Truth be told, I was actually talking to a camera in an empty Washington broadcast studio. But still.)
See also: Use the AARP Retirement Calculator.
Thompson was making a news segment focusing on how much money people "should be saving," and I proposed a formula based on having certain multiples of your current salary put away as you get closer to retirement.
For example, if you're 40, you should have the equivalent of twice your current salary in the bank. By the time you're 60, you should have nine times your current pay in savings. In the chart below, you can see what you should have at other ages.
Multiple of current salary that you ideally have in savings:
Annual Income Level ($) |
Age | Retirement Savings Multiple |
30,000 | 50,000 | 70,000 | 100,000 |
20 | 0 | ||||
30 | 0.4 | 12,000 | 20,000 | 28,000 | 40,000 |
40 | 2 | 60,000 | 100,000 | 140,000 | 200,000 |
50 | 4 | 120,000 | 200,000 | 280,000 | 400,000 |
60 | 9 | 270,000 | 450,000 | 630,000 | 900,000 |
Today's economic realities — volatile portfolio values and a tight job market — mean that each of us has specific needs requiring a customized solution.
If you're 50 years old and making $100,000 a year, there's a pretty good chance that you've got a hefty mortgage, a couple of car payments and tuition bills for one or more kids. That probably doesn't leave a lot of money to help you hit your recommended $400,000 savings milestone.
In fact, there's a chance that you haven't saved anything yet.
Does that mean it's too late? No. But if you got a late start, you'll probably have to adjust your expectations. You may need to change what you spend now and consider a more modest lifestyle than you'd envisioned after age 60.
Eighteen-hole days and cruises in retirement may have been possible if you'd started saving in your 20s and 30s. When you're just beginning at 50, you should aim for a plan that will help you achieve peace of mind — not luxury — for your later years.
To do so, you'll first need to identify your basic and necessary expenses. This will help you create a budget that includes saving money for retirement. It will also help you figure out what your true post-retirement expenses will look like. Think about expenses you can cut, as well as places to put the money you save, like your company's 401(k) plan or a private Individual Retirement Account.

Story highlights
- Via Napoli serves fresh pizza cooked in wood-burning ovens
- Narcoossee's offers a view of the Magic Kingdom's main entrance
- Mickey, Goofy and Donald Duck make appearances during breakfast at The Tusker House
Keep up with the kids with fuel from these Walt Disney World restaurants.
La Cantina de San Angel and La Hacienda de San
Epcot World Showcase's Mexico Pavilion
These two eateries opened last year along the World Showcase Lagoon. La Cantina offers quick-service tacos nachos, and empanadas, as well as a variety of frozen margaritas (open for lunch and dinner, $15 and under per person).
La Hacienda offers contemporary Mexican fare such as mixed seafood grill and roasted pork loin and features its own "tequila ambassador" who creates one-of-a-kind margaritas, including a coffee-flavored variety (open for dinner, $15-$36 per person).
Via Napoli Ristorante e Pizzeria
Epcot World Showcase's Italy Pavilion
This great Italian restaurant features an open kitchen and three wood-burning pizza ovens named for Italy's three active volcanoes (Mount Etna, Mount Vesuvius and Mount Stromboli). Executive Chef Charlie Restivo is serious about his pizzas, using mozzarella flown in from Italy, water similar to the alkaline water found in Naples and San Marzano tomatoes (open lunch and dinner, $15-$36 per person).
Grand Floridian Resort and Spa
This spectacular eatery sits on the edge of the Seven Seas Lagoon and offers beautiful views of the Contemporary Resort and the main entrance to the Magic Kingdom. The restaurant's quiet interior encourages you to slow down, cool off and enjoy some time with your friends and family. The surf-and-turf and pan-seared scallops are incredible, and the children's menu is very kid-friendly (open for lunch and dinner, $15-$36 per person).
The Tusker House
African area of the Animal Kingdom
This restaurant might just take the prize for the best character breakfast at WDW as Donald and Daisy Duck, Mickey and Goofy regularly make appearances at the morning meal. The food is served buffet style, but breakfast features lots of fresh fruit and the vegetarian in the family can get Jollaf rice, spiced tofu or tabbouleh for lunch or dinner (open for breakfast, $15 and under per person, lunch and dinner, $15-$36 per person).
The Captain's Grille
Yacht Club Resort
This is one of the unsung heroes of WDW restaurants. The theme is nautical and the food outstanding. Located next door to the upscale Yachtsman Steakhouse, the Grille offers land and sea options that include bourbon-marinated New York strip steaks and lump crab cakes (open for breakfast, $15 and under per person, lunch and dinner, $15-$36 per person).

Period 3- Cordova
Spanish, French, and English Colonization In America
There's a few explorers, a few countries, and a whole lot of effort that got America started many years ago. From tribes of buffalo hunters, to civil wars, to a world of technology here today, America has gone through many stages, many battles, and many different leaders. At the end of the day the most important years have been the age of colonization in America. If it weren't for Columbus to Ponce de Leon, we wouldn't be where we are today. There would have been no Washington and no Obama. It is thanks to the details that we have the country that we do today and there were three different countries who got us where we are. Spain, France and England supplied men with a desire for discovery and new land, and supplied them with the necessities to fulfill an explorers most crucial discovery. All three countries went about this in many different ways as well as so many common reasons. Different leaders, different ships, different intentions, and different lifestyles were all factors included in the colonization of America. The one thing that , and England had in common though was their reason for exploration. They might have differed on styles, religious views, and routes that separated them so much yet at the end of the day all they had on their mind was greed. These three countries came for empire building and ownership of colonies and that's what they would get.
The Spanish were the first of the three to arrive at America. Although the Native Americans had already been living there for years, the Spanish set the mark for the Europeans. The exploration began back in the 1400's and differed from French and England in the sense that Christopher Columbus wasn't asked and forced to go find more land for his people only for power purposes, but Columbus went on an exploration to spread the word of...

Wow, they're becoming a dime a dozen. I guess they want to milk it while it's hot.
You say that like it's something new. The genre has been getting milked since the days of League and HoN coming out in beta. There's like atleast 8+ games just of this genre on steam and most if not all of them are pretty god awful. Including Dota 2, what a disgusting looking game.
I like fantasy-inspired MOBA games. I'm not into sci-fi.
more variety the better - its just another genre and its pretty popular right now + its one of the highest paying e-port and also generates a lot of $$ through non gamebreaking cash shop items soooo all the more of it!

You can also send an e-postcard to friends and family (we love snail mail, but just sometimes buying a card slips the mind…).
But hang on, there's more – you can even book rooms directly through the app.
So if you're coming to stay with us, go download it!
]]>Here's the article, or follow the link!
]]>The Little Black Book of Hotels is available now in Hardback from Amazon, currently at £10..

We'll be hosting a satellite sculpture exhibition at The George in Rye as part of the fair, so watch this space for more soon.
Ahead of this, here are our recommendations of great places our guests can see and buy art in 1066 country:
The Rye Art Gallery – just down the road and hosts work of regional and national importance. We buy quite a lot of art for the hotel here which we're always asked about.
Weekend Gallery – gallery representing really diverse mix of artists in Hastings which runs an international art exchange programme with a gallery in Idaho.
Hop Gallery – Really champions local East Sussex artists through a very fast-moving and dynamic programme of exhibitions. In Lewes, well worth a daytrip from Rye!

"The recipe wisely states to skim the fat from the pan after cooking the meat. Short ribs don't always look all that fatty, which is probably why I forgot to do that important step. So, if you make this remember to skim so your sauce won't be too greasy. The flavor was nice and not too sweet and I'm sure it's very good as written."
